The science club operates in a place called the first laboratory.
The building where we used to take classes was Building 2 adjacent to Building 1 where the laboratory was located. After school, we walked out of Building 2 and into Building 1.
Compared to Building 2, Building 1 is older. The walls and floors are old, and although made of wood, in some places it is dark. Sometimes you can hear squeaking from under your feet.
Laboratory 1 is located on the 1st floor of Building 1. On the right side of the entrance.
When I came in, I saw some otaku already playing the game.
"Yes!"
Some people who were watching us called us. Some of them noticed us and called us, to which we replied, "Hey!
In the first laboratory, of course, there are many laboratory benches lined up. We sat down near an empty lab bench. This room always has a distinctive smell. I think it's the smell of chemicals stored on the shelf.
There are no specific rules for science club activities. The science club's motto is "to understand and study electronic phenomena", which means "playing games very hard". Sometimes, we do something like a science club, but our basic activity is still a game. We even have a home video game console hidden away so the teachers don't notice it.
There was an adviser, but he never came here. Even if he did, he knew the true situation of the science club well, so there was no need to worry.
We put out a portable game console that we keep in our bags. We each started playing our game of choice.
First, I decided to play a game to learn. This is a game where you have to solve English grammar problems and guess the meaning of words. With the upcoming midterms, I have to spend as much time as possible studying.
Moreover, surprisingly, these games are not so stupid. The most wasted time when studying is the time when you seem to be studying but you are not concentrating. Rest or play can refresh you, but not being able to learn and being tired is the worst. When I learned with the game, I was not too tired of learning and I was able to acquire knowledge well. The questions are also well-designed, so this is a great place to make outputs for input.
As I was solving the problem, one by one, my shoulders were suddenly patted.
"Ookusu, let's play ma-o-kart." (CN: Mario Kart)
I looked up and saw the club president. He's still bald on the front.
But I decided to ignore it because I was playing in a time limit mode. There are times when the inability to read this kind of atmosphere appears, right...
"Hey, you're ignoring me. You got the courage, ignore the senior. You learn again. How serious are you?"
He keeps babbling. As always, I think he has a bad tongue.
Thirty seconds later, when the problem was finally resolved, I put the portable game console on the lab table and looked towards the president.
"Don't talk to me all of a sudden, I can't react."
"Sorrys sorry. I don't care what it is, let's play Ma-0-Kart."
"No."
"Why not?"
"Because I can't win anyway."
The president is good at playing around. It's not limited to ma-o-karts. He is good at fighting games, puzzle games, and music games. I'm good at racing, but I still lose a lot to him.
"But even Ookusu can handle branches now, and some courses are down 4, right? I'm sure you'll be fine. When it's time I lose, I lose too." (TN: I've never played Mario kart. Not sure what they're talking about here)
"...... Even though I've been this strong, I'm still no match for you."
"You just don't look often enough into the rearview mirror. Let's do it."
"Don't always ask me out just because you can't make anyone play with you if it's not me."
"... They're all terrible, you know. 'Even if I play with you, you'll stay in first place' is what they say, and won't play with me at all. On the other hand, Ookusu could win once in five times."
"Only once every five times, though."
The president is so strong that he sometimes becomes a ranker. You have to be very lucky to win.
"Then I'll give you a disability. I'll start about half a lap later."
"The idea of handicapping bothers me. Why don't you just play on the Internet yourself?"
"Why should I play against the Internet when so many fellow gamers are here?"
I understand how you feel, but how else. Ma0-Kart is a game that clearly shows the difference in ability. It's not fun to play unless you're on the same level.
"Anyway, please give up. I don't think anyone at this club will play with the club president again."
"...... I'm getting sad."
He lowered his shoulders and walked away from me.
Not that he's not liked or anything. He's very well liked. He's a little bit of a bitch, but he has a good personality, and when the whole science club does something, he takes care of it. That's why we sometimes play games together, but it's hard to play every time.
Sorry, President, but I have to prioritize my midterms–
–I apologized in my heart when I saw the president start playing online games alone.
