Students From Whiteroom

Cooperation

This Friday at recess, Amelia and Brother Virga plan to hold negotiations with class 2C. But when that time came, Amelia suddenly disappeared. So, by force Brother Virga took me with him.

He invited me to meet the 2C class president in his class. This was my first time visiting another class.

Classes two and one had no noticeable difference. But by the time I arrived at Brother Virga's class, this classroom had been arranged in such a way for this meeting that several tables had been set aside to the sidelines.

Four equal flat tables arranged to resemble a square so as to form a large table.

Several seats have been set up for negotiations this time. Brother Virga seems to have become a highly respected leader in this class. I was casually waiting for the arrival of the 2C class president.

Zen, the 2C class leader arrived.

“Ah Zen you finally came too.” Brother Virga immediately stood up and greeted the student.

Zen with a spirit of reprimand.

“Of course. I've heard the rumors. I heard you have formed a class alliance to face the Class Voting later.”

“Already. Discussion like this can not be discussed while standing here, right?”

Zen nodded. The three of us finally sat down at the negotiating table. Several students from class 2A stood guard in front of the class. Zen looked at me curiously. As if to understand, Brother Virga also smiled a little.

“Before we continue this negotiation, I would like to introduce you to my friend from this first class. She is Aria.”

I bow my head a little. “Aria.”

“Zen. Greetings,” the answer is short.

We both shook hands. Virga started the conversation again.

“Like the rumors you heard, I have formed a great alliance between classes. Now almost the whole class has joined us.”

Zen was interested. “So what are the benefits of forming this Alliance?”

Brother Virga smiled. “We can prevent student spending from voting.”

“If we decide not to take part, and vote for you. How?” Zen put on a face that traders used to negotiate.

“Then we will give you a vote with all the votes we have, so you will definitely be expelled from school.” Sis Virga said that casually.

Zen surprised. “Hey, isn't that a threat?!”

“We have to do it. Because according to our strategists, by joining your class into our alliance, it can prevent at least 4 out of 9 people from spending.”

Zen also nodded. It seemed like he had realized the benefits he would get.

“Attracting.” Zen smiled a little.

"How do you account for that?"

"If you decide to join our alliance. We assume that class 2B can only give at least five votes to each of their targets to ensure the expenditure of those targets. So with the 25 votes that 2B class has, they can only take out 5 students."

Zen nodded small for a moment. "Although this is just an assumption, there seems to be no harm in our class joining."

Virga smiled with satisfaction.

“Before this conversation is over, I want to ask you something. Who was the strategist you said?”

Virga looked at me. "He's the one."

Zen looked at me in disbelief.

"really? You're not kidding, are you, Vir?"

Kai Virga nodded. "You know me, right?"

It was as if understanding Zen was sighing long.

“Alright then. Please give me time to think.”

After some time passed, Zen finally decided to join our alliance. I also issued a contract sheet to make a written agreement.

Zen laughed when he saw her. “It looks like your alliance really cannot be breached well?”

Virga also laughed. “Our strategist is really very alert you know.”

And so it turned out, our negotiations with the 2C class were successful. Zen accepted our alliance with open arms.

Right, I think to persuade the students in 3rd grade, it takes skill in negotiating. However, from the negotiations earlier, the ability of Virga in negotiating was not special.

Brother Virga laughed proudly while patting his chest.

“I'm beating.”

Zen who was still in the place looked abstruse.

“Be..really also well. Your ability to seduce women is very frightening.”

Brother Virga immediately silenced his mouth.

“Means?”

If I didn't hear wrong, Brother Zen said something related to seduction. Virga was forced to let go of his hand.

“Actually, there was a very beautiful princess in 3rd grade, her name was Luna. All the students loved it, while the other students respected it. I thought, Virga had seduced him and with the help of Luna it was Virga who was finally able to persuade the students from the 3rd grade. ”

Brother Virga is trying to hide his reddened face.

"Be...really******true."

Without me knowing I said that.

"I'm not a ******!" Virga looks angry. His face was red.

Suddenly as we were about to leave, one of the students from class 2A standing guard outside came in a hurry.

“Virga, some students from class 2B try to enter.”

And then what the student said happened. Some of the students broke into the 2Ath grade. Among them was a student I knew. He is Leo.

Brother Virga showed his sly smile.

“Hey...hey.. isn't breaking through someone else's class a rude act.”.

Leo grunts. With a clenched hand he said in a proud tone.

“I heard you guys are in talks with class 2C here. So I offered the 2C class president to work with us and canceled his partnership with class 2A.”

He looked towards Zen. Zen stepped forward. “I'm sorry, but our class has entered into an agreement for an alliance officially.”

Leo looked upset. “Do you refuse to cooperate with us?”

Zen also nodded. “After all I am also a little upset with the way you guys broke through here to derail our negotiations.”

With a little emotion Leo said something.

“Alright if that's what you want. We from class 2B will vote for 5 students. They are Virga, Luna, Asuna, Zen, and Maya.”

All the students at the place were shocked by what Leo said.

After announcing this he also invited his men to leave the place.

“How is Vir?”

Brother Virga patted Zen's shoulder. “I'll think of a way to prevent us from being expelled. Just relax.”

Zen left the place worriedly. Soon after that the students of class 2A deftly clean up the place for learning in the next hour.

I still feel worried and confused. Why did they vote for Maya?

I think something I didn't know had happened behind the scenes. However, I lack information. For now it seems like I have a slight advantage.

Since the enemy had announced the names of the students they would vote for, we were able to vote for some students to level the votes so as to prevent student spending.

However, this method is very risky. It could be that the enemy had lied and it was our voice that actually caused the expenditure of students. Nor can we heed the other classes they did not mention. 100% belief in Leo is not a good thing. It's just that I don't have any other plans.

I must also immediately uncover the traitor within the internal of our alliance. Because this will affect our cooperation in the future.

What am I supposed to do?

The only way that pops into my head is to ask Maya for help. After all, his name had also been mentioned by Leo as a student who would receive Voting from the 2B class. So let's just say he has to save himself.
