Kokichi's POV:

I got bored pretty quick of keeping an eye on Maki. Half an hour of nothing happened, other than that idiot thinking he could actually get her to bring down her barriers. Whatever her deal was, she probably wasn't going to do anything suspicious soon... at least, if that purple haired idiot had anything to say about it.

So, that thought in mind, I figured it'd be fine if I went back to my dorm. I took my time walking there, wanting to take in my surroundings just so that I'm prepared for anything. Never know when one of my enemies might pop out of nowhere, ya know? But I eventually get to my dorm, opening my door to find...

Nothing.

Guess my roommate wasn't back yet. Odd, it didn't seem like she was the type to stay out late. Welp just means more time to talk with my group! Even if she... didn't exactly bug me last time I was doing so. Whatever, time to hang out with friends online!

CrEpyCln is online

"Yo boss!"

"Yo 2, any new information?"

"Nah, not really. The prank with the store clerk was hilarious but we haven't really come up with anything since- that's your job, after all"

"How are you doing on food and money?"

"Boss cmon, it's only been a few days"

"Just aaansweeerrrr"

"Fine fine"

"We're getting kinda low, but other than that we're good"

"Well just being good isn't good enough for my members! Let's plan a raid!"

"Alright, what do you suggest then?"

"Okay, here's the plan"

I spent the next couple of hours talking to my second in command, figuring out the details of the raid. We had a few places where we frequented- all of which had money to spare and were undeserving of it.  I like to think of myself as Robin Hood, and my members like his merry men.

It went mostly uninterrupted until the door swung open at the two-hour mark. My head shooting up from my laptop screen, I looked at who opened the door. It was none other than my roommate, who had been missing for the past few hours. "Oh heeey! You're still alive! For a moment there I *sniff* thought something had happened." I say, crocodile tears in my eyes.

"A-Ah, sorry!" she cries, apparently taking my words seriously. "Hmpf, you better be! What were you doing anyway?" I ask, finally dropping my mask just a bit. "O-Oh... My class stayed late playing video games." she says softly, anxiously tugging at her bandages.

Huh, so that's what happened. Well if it was a class activity then I guess I can see why she'd be late, but... "Video games? In class? Whachu talkin' bout." I ask, pouting. Mikan tenses up a bit, seemingly caught off guard by the question. "O-Oh um- w-well you see, the ultimate gamer is in m-my class and um- and she thought it would be a good bonding exercise..."

"So you were playing games? And I wasn't *sniff* i-invited?" I say, just trying to get a rise out of her at this point. Seems like it worked, cuz she begins blubbering within seconds. "A-Ah sorry! I um- I-I'll be sure to ask if you can next t-time- so please don't be u-upset-"

Feeling like this is going to get out of hand, I stop her there. "Well whatever, they probably wouldn't have let me join anyways since you said it was a class activity." I say, nonchalantly looking at my hand. Mikan looks at me with a blank expression for a few moments, before letting out a small "O-Oh, right..." in realization.

This was starting to get boring.

"Welp, I'm going to go back to my plans for world domination! See ya roomie"I say, heading back to my bed and once more opening my laptop. From there on out I didn't really pay much attention to her, but I just assumed she was just doing her own thing.

Pretty soon I was just chatting with my members, the raid already planned and set up for later in the week.

Mikan's POV:

After Kokichi dismissed himself to his side of the room, I was once again in the predicament of yesterday- how to entertain myself without disturbing Kokichi. I suppose reading a book again would be the best option- however, I only brought so many. At this rate... I'm going to run out of reading material before the end of the year.

I sigh a bit as I take a book off of my shelf, wondering how I should take care of this situation. At the very least, I want it to be something I'm good at or really love.

And that's when it hit me.

Just as I was about to open my book, I wondered if the academy needed a nurse. If they truly considered me the ultimate nurse then... then it would be allowed, right? They would let me do nurse work after and possibly even during school, right?

No no what was I thinking?! Asking something like that would be totally presumptuous, right? Worst case scenario, they let me do it and somebody gets seriously hurt because I messed up! How could I even be thinking something like this!?

Still... I... haven't messed up in the past... and I'd be out of peoples way too! Not to mention, if I can do it well then I'd be making myself useful, right?

Gulping a bit as these thoughts swirled in my mind, I did my best to get myself back to reading. I can think on this later, right? If I stress myself out like this, it could be bad for my health.

Keeping the idea firmly in the front of my mind, Kokichi and I did our own thing as a similar routine as last night played out.

And just like that our second day at hopes peak academy ended.
