Though, if Estelle notices
It's 'Estella', not 'Estelle'. Keeps happening during this chapter.
[CSC: Feelings + Motives = 35 + 33 = 68 VS DC 60: Success! +3 Estelle and Irina RP!]
Close call, but nice!
...you can tell that everyone in the room has some kind of expectation of you here. Well, all the rich fuckers that don't include your Club or the blonde that's helping Estelle. All the others, including the Principal and other staff, save Sensei, seem to be expecting you to do something. Something that they all know you're supposed to do.
[Perception: Environment: 3 VS DC 30: Failure!]
But, for the life of you, you don't know what it is! Maybe if someone bothered to tell you, that'd be different!
Yeah, if people were just clear of what they want from us!
First, you hold your left hand out for her to shake.
You mean right? Estella's left hand is the prosthetic.
She's just staring at you, surprise evident in her wide eyes. She doesn't seem angry though. You think she didn't expect you to act the way you did. Raising an eyebrow, you let go of her hands and stand up straight. You look at the audience to see that their stares have become murderous. Meanwhile, the Principal looks like he's about to eat his tie. The only one of the staff that doesn't seem upset is Sensei Hamza. He's just staring at you with an intense expression...but you don't think he's mad at you either.
Oh, Hayato, you goofer. She did need that.
She points at your face, "Look at this earnest face that could never tell a lie to anyone, and is completely oblivious when it comes to high society taboos."
You just get more confused as she continues. She stands to the side and does her best to copy your typical posture. Her back is straight, her arms are crossed in front of her chest, and her chin is held high. She speaks in a poor attempt to mimic your voice, "The confident stance and deep voice that carries the promise that all will be well while he is here."
She is right, you know. Though I wasn't imagining Hayato quite as Himbo All Might.
"And look at these chiseled, firm muscles! These are the kind of gains you only get from following through on a routine, or being a damn strong fighter! Bet we could grind meat on his abs if we took his shirt off,"

Given what you've seen of her, you don't doubt that she would remove your shirt to prove a point.
Pretty sure she would.
"Prinzessin!" you do a double-take at the language Irina just used. Wha...what was that? It certainly wasn't Japanese or English. Does she know more than those two languages?
That's German, Hayato. And yes, many.
He'd make a perfect edition to your flotte. He can be the one who rallies all to his banner, while destroying any who dared to stand before you!"
Oh, I see the choice of words. Very fitting.
After a minute of silence passes, Irina can't hold her composure any longer. She starts to give a full on laugh while standing to her full height. She walks over to you, holding her stomach while patting you on the shoulder, "Hahaha! Oh, that was so worth it. Seeing the looks on everyone's faces? Priceless!"
"Wait...you thought I was serious?" Irina's surprised expression disappears as soon as it came. She gives you a toothy grin before turning back to Estelle, "Oh, we need to hire him now! He'll be so fun to tease!"
I love her, she's great.
And Hayato must be teased!
"Aw. But I thought you liked it when I got aggressive. You always would-"
Estelle coughs into her hand. This gets Irina to go quiet.
Not in public!
[X] Sure, you can do that. What could be the harm?
[X] Make it long and passionate. You have to follow after Estelle and get the crowd hyped up.
[X] The people who helped you get this far. Yamato, Hose, Seteke, Sakura. All of them.
Talking is one of the things we're meant to be good at, so lets do it, though we're most most likely not going to be as successful as Estella. Student body might start even liking us a bit more. And mentioning the people who got us here is the most important part.
