Honestly, I prefer you focusing on other things beside me. You have three others that are in these "games". They need your assistance more than I do. Go away and be a nuisance to them. I have a lot of studying to do. I can't afford anymore distractions.

... Isn't studying boring? [ because he sure does. well, with math and science anyway. ]

[schoolaholic]

Not at all. I love to study and solve problems quickly. After all, studying helps you succeed better in your future.

[gunhate]

That's what everyone keeps saying. I guess I just don't see the appeal.

[schoolaholic]

It's hard work, but when you see your name on the top score - it's very rewarding.

[gunhate]

Your name on the top score ... You mean like rankings in school? [he, wouldn't know about that. but that's why he's curious. ]

[dyrexic]

How boring. I wonder if your tune would change if your precious Haru were here.

[schoolaholic]

It wouldn't. My studies come first.

[schoolaholic]

Yes. Don't you go to school?

[gunhate]

... I can't since I travel around a lot. But I do have bunch of adults trying to home school me.

[dyrexic]

[ Hmph, not cute at all. ]

That's why you're a study bug. Why are your studies so important to you anyway?

[schoolaholic]

It's a shame you can't comprehend why it is.

[schoolaholic]

Better than not schooling you at all. Education is very important.

[gunhate]

Still, I wouldn't mind going to school once ...

[dyrexic]

I have my future already laid out for me, as long as my grades meet expectations it's fine.

[schoolaholic]

Then my reasoning should be obvious.

[schoolaholic]

Have you asked?

[dyrexic]

Are you an idiot? You won't become successful from just that.

[gunhate]

No. It's a bad idea for a bodyguard to go to school instead of doing his job.

[schoolaholic]

Of course I will. What else do I need?

[schoolaholic]

Even bodyguards need education.

[dyrexic]

Luck and opportunity. Someone like me has both. I'm from a rich family so I have luck and that gives me plenty of opportunities.

[schoolaholic]

You may have luck and opportunity, but you're still not the smartest.

[dyrexic]

[ this damn woman... ]

Like I've been saying, it's not needed.

Well, for you, it would help if you had better people skills.

[schoolaholic]

( she crosses her arms. )

Then you are guaranteed to fail miserably in the end if it's not needed. And my skills are just fine.

[dyrexic]

No. You lack appeal.

[ blunt. ]

[schoolaholic]

And you lack maturity.

[dyrexic]

I'm serious. You might not care, but you need people to like you.

Well, it's none of my business.

[schoolaholic]

...

I'm fine on my own.

( not really. )

[dyrexic]

[ ... ]

You have idiots like Haru and that moronic girl who won't leave you alone. I don't mind you as you are now.

[ wait, why did I. ]

[schoolaholic]

...? You don't?
