Chapter 74 - Meeting Familiar People

A soft soothing touch reached out for Ming's shoulder. Sato stopped him from doing anything reckless. The last thing he wants waa for Ming to get in trouble.

He knew that this bastard, Tyron clearly did it on purpose. Yet, there was really nothing he could do. In the school, everyone knew of the three unruly prince and princess of University Z. They were Tyron Kopperfield, Motori Kabe and Poppy Handsworth.

Ever since they entered the university, they have been abusing their powers to gain favours from students and even lecturers. Tyron mainly controlled the year 3s, Motori Kabe controlled the year 2s and Poppy controlled the year 1s. Many will have heard of their infamous stories before and so, no one dared to act against them when they do something bad.

"Its okay, Ming. Tyron slipped and spilled the contents accidentally." Sato stood up while picking off the remaining seaweed on his head. "Let's go."

"Wait!"

A voice came out from the crowd of onlookers. The male who stood up wore a bright orange hoodie. Beside him was a boy wearing glasses. The boy was trying his best to pull the student who stood up, back down.

"I saw what you did there just now. Apologise to him now."

The boy wearing glasses could visibly be seen gasping. He started mouthing out words while covering the sides of his face. "It's all over now... It's all over now..."

"Oh really?" Tyron walked forward to their table. He placed a firm on their table as he looked at the young students glaringly. "What did I do exactly?"

"You know what you did." Another boy wearing a Green sweater, sitting in front of the orange hoodie student, started speaking. "The tray of leftover food was purposely spilled by you."

"Oh? Do you have any evidence to back you up?"

"Yeah. Our friend in glasses will have the honour of explaining to you his reasoning." As the green sweater boy passed the ball back to the boy in glasses, causing him to panic deeply in side. Looking up at the bully Tyron, he decided he should speak up for Sato.

"There.. There is three big flaws to.. To your plan. The first is the flooring of The Oasis. The flooring is layered with a non-slip material, namely Polyurethane. This prevents slipping to the highest level, unless the floor has a slipping agent, which is clearly impossible. The second is the reasoning behind your actions. You wanted to return your tray manually which is perfectly fine on paper. However, from the place you originally sat, the most normal and common way that people return their trays is at the Return Point in the center of The Oasis. You were heading to an abnormally far point inside The Oasis to return your tray. The third and most crucial flaw that you didn't take into consideration is the surveillance system in the cafeteria. There are a total of 55 surveillance cameras placed around The Oasis, each able to capture a certain area of the room. The reason why there are so many cameras is to prevent theft of the machinery. The ultra HD footage taken just as you tripped and spilled your contents on the student over here can be looked into. It is very easy to tell by a person's mannerisms, whether he is faking a slip. "

" Well said! "The orange hoodie student shouted out, followed by clapping from other students around them. At first, the boy in glasses stuttered a little, but as the time went on, his speech became fluent and precise. "So are you going to apologise now?"

After hearing the flaws that he made, Tyron clenched his teeth in anger. He looked at Sato who was smiling at what had just went down. Forcing himself to look apologetic, he looked at Sato. "I am sorry for my slip up."

He then left the cafeteria in embarrassment. The Oasis went back to it's usual high. After the incident, Sato went to thank the three boys for standing up for him. The funny part was that the three of them declined his thanks.

"Before you thank us, I think you should wash up a little in the bathroom." The boy in the Green Sweater said to Sato.

"Sure. I'll see you in a bit. We shall meet the foyer in 20 minutes?" Sato invited.

"Alright. We will be there." The orange hoodie boy quickly went ahead to finish his meal. The others took their time.

Sato and Ming headed for the bathroom. Ming helped clean the remains off Sato's hoodie. Since it was a cold day, Sato couldn't just not wear an outerwear. He left to the University store to buy a University Z jacket to wear on. Luckily, he had plenty of money in his student card.

Eventually, the five boys met at the foyer. Sato thanked them as he looked at their appearance. He was rather conflicted at the moment. Why did the three boys feel so familiar?

"So, what year are you guys in?" Sato asked curiously.

"We three are all year one students. How about you?" The orange hoodie boy answered for the three of them.

"Ah, I'm a second year." Sato knew that the pieces were coming together. "So what are your names?"

"I'm Hobz." The orange hoodie boy introduced himself first.

"I'm Hanz." The green sweater boy introduced next.

"I'm Hayden." Lastly was the shy glasses boy.

"Hahaha. I knew it. Hey guys, I'm Sato." Sato laughed at his coincidence.

"Huh? Bro, why does that name sound familiar?" Hobz whispered loudly into Hanz's ear, which defeated the purpose.

"You're.. You're HappyBoy123?" Hayden asked as soon as he figured out where the name came from.

"Yeah. I cannot believe the three of you study in the same university as me."

"No wayyy!" Hobz and Hanz hugged each other in shock as if they had seen a ghost. This was truly a small world.
