She nods at me. She is fidgeting a bit. I don't know why but I decided to ignore it and continue to help her with this food.

"Ah! I-I will put the plate on the table." Said her getting nervous.

"Okay..."

Chopping some veggies, add some spice to it, and cook it. After adding some garnish to the food, the Tuna Salad is on the way. Really, I don't know what is called but I called it Tuna Salad because there are so many vegetables around this Tuna.

Wait... But why? Why she should put the plate on the table? There is no dining room here...

(Is she okay?) -Eluthya

(Hey Nina, I know you read it so just come quickly.) -Yulia

Don't say...

I bring this food to the living room. All of Lordeca is already on there waiting for me. What is it? All of the sofas are occupied leaving me with a single one that faces the front door.

"So? What is this about?" Asked me before we started the breakfast.

"Pray first before talking..." Said Linda.

After praying, we eat first. While eating, Tiara brings ten teas to drink. We continued the discussion after eating.

"You are quiet are not you?" Asked me to open the conversation.

"Have not I already answered it?" Ask Yulia back.

"You are dense Yulia." Said Tohru while glancing at her.

Geraldine crossed her hands and said. "I agree to Tohru."

"Huh? Why am I in the wrong position?" Asked Yulia confused.

"You're still a little kid after all." Said Nexus with a mocking voice.

She didn't agree with her and swung her umbrella to her but, Tohru's reflex was quicker than it. She pulls it and throws it away.

Yulia clicked her tongue and with her sulking face, she said. "If I am a little girl you should spare me!"

Clap!

Eluthya clapped and said. "Let's back to the topic."

"Let's start with a simple question. How much balance you had?" Asked Radiant with an angry face.

"We already discussed it Radiant, should you know that?" Said Linda while staring at her.

"It's not fair!! You already know it right!!?" Said her don't know why she got angry.

"Ten thousand." Said me.

"That's quite big isn't it?" Said Nexus while sipping the tea Tiara prepared.

Radiant hit the table and said with her angry face. "That's not fair!!!"

Linda stood up, pulled out her glove, and slapped it to her face. "You foolish human, should not you know how to make conversation respectfully?"

Even without facial gestures, I know that Linda was angry with her. Good, it starts to be a chaotic discussion...

This will make my day more tiring than my normal daily life.

"As Alice said once, our first-semester theme is love. And, that's the aim of this program." Said Yulia vaguely.

"Sigh* Let me explain it... We only get 100 balance points and how to higher that is to be loved by the target... We call it The Normal. And The Normal is you, Nina, according to Alice's explanation." Said Nexus.

"So, you get a different briefing than me?" Said me.

That's just a nonsense question. Of course, they will get that. Why did Alice tell me that I should love them the first time and just me?

Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.

The puzzle seems finished but there is something still vague to this.

"For what purpose?" Asked me.

Yeah, that's my concern. Why she should do that? Or... Why this school should do that? Is it some kind of societal experiment or something?

"Of course to create genius like us." Said Yulia normally.

"That woman said that genius is not a trait but a skill. And to inflict that skill, people need what they called obsession." Said Eluthya while looking at me.

Linda sat down and Radiant calmed down a bit.

I know half of it. And I already know three of them. Curiosity, Perfection, and Indencency.

So, they said that they have this kind of obsession? But...

"You need me to love you and you get the balance to survive on this island. But, how about me?" Said me.

I don't know my objective and I don't care about it either. After passing this school with an S-class background, I will have a bright future for sure. So, I should know the consequences and the merit of doing it.

"There are two of them." Said Eluthya raising her index and middle finger at the same time.

It seems to be longer... I take the cup and sip it a bit.

"First, If you fail to reveal our obsession, you will be exiled to F-class. Second, if you know it, we will vow our body and soul to you."

Cough* cough*

I get choked a bit. What? Vow your body and soul to me?! What happened? Are they forced?

"We are not forced darling~" Said Tiara.

They are staring at her with disgusting faces.

"That ****! promised us to fill up this thing." Said Tohru while looking at me with her annoying face.

She seems to refer to "thing" as their obsession.

"And what supposed I do? Anyway, what is F-class?" Said me curious.

I mean, in this school, there are just six classes, E, D, C, B, A, and S. Nothing more.

"Ask Yuna, she is from there." Said Radiant while looking at Yuna after calmed down a bit.

"Y-Yeah, I from that but... That's not what should, Y-You calls it." Said Yuna suddenly nervous.

Hmm...

"That's why we are here to declare..." Said Yulia.

(We will make you fall in love with me.) All of them have the same thought.

"Sorry but, I still didn't get why I should be scared about F-class." Said me leaving the sofa while carrying my plate and cup.

"Wait!" Said Linda.

She looks at me and looks at others too. They nodded at her and she said. "F-class is where our humanity will be lost. All of the students there get infused with adjectivity and go mad."

"Is it legal?" Asked me.

But... That was a foolish question. I should've known who the pillar who made this school. Material? They have the richest person in the world. Talent? They have the most genius person in the world. How about technology and manipulated media? There are Gilliard and Eunha.

This is getting more serious than I thought.

"So, the question is... Why don't you use that kind of thing to make people infused with an obsession for you? You already had an obsession but this is the chance to change it right? For example, you can change Indecency with Normality. It surely would be fun." Said me and left the living room.

"See? She would not understand it!" Said Radiant getting annoyed.

"Sure, that was what we thought." Said Yulia.

"Then... Shall we show her the fear of obsession we hate?" Said Eluthya with a creepy smile.

"I hate her but I am in." Said Geraldine while grinning.

"B-But, F-class is fun you know?" Said Yuna a bit hesitant about it.

"Sigh* that's bothersome." Said Tohru reluctant about it.

Nexus stood up and said. "So, the final decision?"

They stood up at the same time and thought about the same thing.

(We will make Nina fall in love.)

... How should I supposed to respond that kind of agreement? Sigh* Maybe I will lock my door all day. Or...

While walking back to the living room, I said. "Wait! Wait! Don't just agree without me."

"Sorry but, you are forced to do it." Said Radiant smiling at me full of hatred.

"There is a boat, surely I can escape this island If I want to do so. Besides, I can lock my room or hide somewhere on this island. What's about it?" Said me try to make a condition for me.

"Make your wise decision Nina." Said Linda while staring at me seriously.

"Haha... What should I care about F-class anyway? This ability will let me know about each of your obsessions in no time. Still doubt my capability?" Said me trying to intimidate them.

"Are you sure to say that while your leg trembling?" Said Tohru while looking at my legs.

Legs!! You betray me!!!

"Then, here I come!!!" Shout Alice open up the door.

They gaze at her with hatred and disgusting feelings.

"For sure, Nina will not scared to F-class because she didn't see it herself. But, that's a top secret just for Lordeca except The Normal." Said her while joyfully walking to me.

She grabbed my shoulder and looked at me seriously.

"But, that's good, we need a condition for you to get into our curriculum as well. Then how about this? You and your children until the twelfth generation will be covered by this school? Sound promising right?" Said her get exaggerate.

"It's more like a scam to me than promising." Said me getting a bit scared of her.

"How about this? You will get into jail because you murdered someone." Said her.

I... That's...

She grinned at me creepily yet getting excited about this moment.

"Lordeca can't ask for food if they are hungry! And!!! if we found out that one of them got out of this island... We will chase them until death!! because they already signed the contract. And for you Nina... This school does not provide you all free with these balance points. WE PAID IT, that's why If you protest about it... Then, we should offer you to juristic for misused money. For sure, you must pay it the same number as you spend."

I was shocked to hear that... It's a scam. All of this hope are scam. Why did they sign this scam at first? Are they so desperately to fill that obsession? And why me? Why?

She left me alone petrified because of shock.

"Think it carefully Nina." Said Eluthya.

They are leaving this living room to do their daily activity. It's just me there... Alone, stunned, and didn't know what to say.

Before I knew it, my legs kneeled to the floor and my head looked down.

This is the first time... THE FIRST TIME I GET ANGRY LIKE THIS!!!

But... Is that worth to throw away myself to protect it?
