My System: An Evolved Computer I Made With My Unique Ability—

Chapter 443 Seating Arrangement War

?

When Class 3-1 finally got back after an eventful heroes versus villains exercise in the Concrete Arena, they were met by Lydia who was waiting alone in the class. She didn't mention anything about joining the other class since they were bound to know about it later on.

"Lydia?" Satoshi was the first one to greet her, approaching her with a lightened expression on his face. This morning, there was no sign of Lydia anywhere so he assumed that he didn't pass the entrance exam or the exhibition match. Still, that sounded a bit ridiculous since it was Lydia they were talking about here.

As it turned out, she just overslept, and she missed the first class of the second semester.

"I was too excited, I couldn't sleep last night," Lydia explained with a bashful expression on her face.

After exchanging greetings with everyone else, all of them returned to their respective seats.

"WAIT! Before that..." Knighthawk called out, stopping everyone in their tracks. They were about to sit down when Knighthawk stopped them so they thought that his announcement was probably important.

As much as they disliked Knighthawk as their homeroom teacher, they didn't want to disrespect him. That's why they waited for him to finish talking before they assumed their seats.

Without further ado, Knighthawk cleared his throat and grabbed a box from underneath his desk. He held the box in front of everyone, and then another smile appeared on his face.

"The exciting part's not yet over, class. Last class, we had a pretty good exercise and I'm sure you've learned a lesson or two from your upperclassmen." Knighthawk began. Even he wasn't sure about what he just said. After all, the fourth-years had a clean losing streak back then.

"This time, we're going to do something even more exciting. And no, we're not going to have another superhero exercise... we're going to have an event that would determine your feelings for the entire second semester. So brace yourself, this is going to be fun."

Everyone in the class was well aware that Knighthawk's definition of fun differed from their definition so they didn't expect anything from his words. However, when he put the box on his desk and beckoned for Midori to step forward, they couldn't help but look forward to what was going to happen next.

Curious, Midori stepped forward, and Knighthawk continued speaking. "In my high school years, I always look forward to this event. That's why we're going to make it fun."

As Knighthawk continued to speak, Midori inserted his hand into the box and fished for a sheet of paper. Satisfied with what he picked, he retracted his hand, and read what was written on the paper.

A bold number one was written on it.

"One?" Midori asked, and that's when he realized what was going on.

The seats were being shuffled, and they were currently choosing seats.

"Yes, you're going to pick your seats for this second semester," Knighthawk announced. "However, there's a catch! If you want a certain seat, then you can ask that student to exchange it with you. And since it would be no fun if they just agreed or disagreed... we're going to make it a one versus one match! The loser has to give up his seat!"

"Ooh~" Hiroshi let out.

For the first time, they agreed with their homeroom teacher. This was going to be fun.

Hiroshi went next, and as if it was some sort of a weird coincidence, he picked the number two. It gave him a reason to challenge someone for his seat since he didn't want to be beside the noisy Midori.

As for Midori, he already seated himself. He was pretty satisfied with his placement because it was at the front, and it was beside the window.

The others followed suit. Satoshi got the ninth seat, which was the window seat on the last row. It was the protagonist's seat, and no one dared challenge Satoshi for his seat.

In front of him was the fifth seat, and Lydia was seated there. She was all right with her seat since she was near Satoshi.

As if by fate, Shiroi managed to snag the tenth seat, which was right beside Satoshi, beside her was Kana Kuroe, and the twelfth seat was occupied by Jonathan.

On the sixth seat was Emma, and she enviably glanced at Lydia and Shiroi who were significantly nearer than Satoshi.

Knighthawk then leaned forward, and then with a smirk on his face, he placed his hand on his desk and announced the next phase. "Now, you can go ahead and challenge each other. We'll meet in the school coliseum once you've decided on your opponent."

The first one to stand up was Hiroshi (second seat), and he walked up to the person on the fourth seat. It was occupied by Sakura Cherry. "Cherry, I want to switch places with you," Hiroshi said. He just wanted to get away from Midori, that's why he opted to challenge Cherry.

"And be seated beside Midori? No way." Cherry shook her head. However, she couldn't just reject a challenge, so she accepted the fight.

Emma (sixth seat) also stood up, and she challenged Shiroi who was right behind her, on the tenth seat. Kurogami (eighth seat) also stood up and challenged Midori just for the fun of it.

"All right, now let's head to the coliseum!" Knighthawk pumped his fist in the air. He was convinced that everyone was done challenging each other.

Before everyone could step out, however, Fuuka walked forward. She approached Satoshi. "I challenge you for the protagonist seat, Satoshi," Fuuka asked. She was seated in the third seat.

"Um, sure," Satoshi mumbled. He was genuinely surprised that someone challenged him for the ninth seat.

Lydia also walked up to Satoshi and then grabbed him by the arm. "I'm also challenging you for the ninth seat! I'm sure you'll defeat Fuuka so I'm challenging you in advance."

He had no idea why they were challenging him, but he couldn't just back down from the challenge. "Um, sure..." Satoshi said once again.
