They were caught bullying, and the stealing has been going for a full year now. That wasn't just going to pass without some proper retribution.

With the ball now left to the Headmaster to handle the best way possible, the students and their parents were quick to vacate the classroom and walk to the headmaster's office.

I lingered the classroom just a little longer, providing Umon-sensei some assistance to bring up a proper lesson considering the state of mind his students and himself were.

All in all, it was a fun lesson of history that got a couple of chuckles from the students as I added some fun facts about the Muromachi Era.

Ravel looked positively better compared to her initial nervous self earlier that morning. After providing as much help to the history teacher, I decided to vacate the classroom myself as I had other affairs to divert my attention to.

When I asked Sona for the two hours permission, I wasn't just planning to make use of it for this bullying issue.

I made a little promise that I had to keep now since a certain kohai had pressed for my presence.

Without wasting further time, I started to make my way to the Theater Club, bracing myself for what was going to be a curious and somewhat amusing hour together with Asia and Ingvild.

"Asia, are you sure that this is actually fine?"

The blonde giggled, a mix of genuine amusement and blatant mischievousness playing at the tune of her voice.

"It's not that bad, senpai," The girl assured, trying her best to not let out too much about her visible entertainment at the clothes I was currently wearing.

The club was trying to get Hamlet running once again for the second time in the last five years.

The spectacle the first time around had been an absolute win for the school, but now there was pressure from people in the school board who wanted the Shakespearean act brought up once again.

And while the impressive guy that managed to get Hamlet's role well enough to get a massive success out of it, the young man had long graduated from Kuoh and… there wasn't much quality among the candidates of the casting.

The question of having me try the part had been proposed by Ingvild. Then Asia decided to add more weight to the request by admitting that the club lacked anyone genuinely able to get the scenes of Hamlet with the right pitch of emotions.

To be fair, I wasn't much of an actor. I might have done some spectacles back in my previous life and when I was much younger, but… now I wasn't sure if I would've been able to do that part without issue.

The bar was pretty high, and I knew that both girls were being legitimately invested for me to be the correct choice for the role.

Still, I was confused as to why I was given the clothes for the scene when I was just there for the casting.

Asking about this to the club leader currently present only ended up gaining a lengthy and eccentric explanation of how actors were meant to be 'already prepared to show their genuineness from the very beginning'.

As I prepared for the casting, I noticed that there were a couple of other students wearing the same set of clothes I was donning, and I felt my embarrassment at the situation dwindle a little bit-

"It's- shnrk – It's alright."

And then Asia's amusement brought my morale down once again.

It's not that bad. The real version of these clothes were itchy, they tended to stink easily and… those were tight. Like really tight.

You sound like you've tried those but… didn't you say that you died before Jesus' birth?

Well, while I was dead I certainly had the chance to get 'hold' of some of these clothes through obscure means. And before you ask, by 'obscure'

I mean that I really don't remember how I got myself tangled in that maddening clothing.

At least I had Lucifer to keep me company as I repeated to myself the lines I had to say. I was glad that the judges weren't asking for the 'To be or not to be' soliloquy.

I wasn't really planning to memorize the piece if I could easily be rejected at this early stage.

The text I had to study was something from the first act and… I was already feeling nervous over some of the lines. English wasn't a problem but… I wasn't theater material as I was right now.

Seriously, why did I agree to this? Why didn't I just pick more paperwork and ignored this circumstance altogether?

The nervousness just increased when the first four candidates went and were quickly rebuffed with them tripping with some of the early verses.

You're ready. Stop being a coward.

It's not that easy, I just… I should've said no.

To a pair of girls that respect and care for you? Fat chance, especially with the kind of person you truly are.

C-Can you not be right for once?

And ruin my all-knowing reputation? Eat dirt, kid.

With this short 'pep talk' coming to an end, I noticed the judges asking for the next candidate and…

I stepped forward, with Asia softly pushing me forward before allowing me to walk up to the center of the podium.

"Sakakibara-san, I hope you understand that your presence here is through recommendation.

Asia-san has mentioned that you have some knowledge of the material, but we wish to ask you if you feel ready for the task."

I gave a quick nod. "I feel… ready. Yes."

They all nodded and gestured to me to check the script that has been left on the ground.

Crouching down I picked the paper up and glanced at the page, giving a nod as they looked ready to listen up at my performance.

I knew the part as it was the second soliloquy of the story. And I needed to be distraught, shocked and mostly saddened.
