The following day it was after school, Alex and the other members of the Mercenary Club headed towards the Drama Club's Clubroom. The clubroom was on the second floor of the new school building. This club unlike the Gaming Club was a successful club. The last performance they had was a full house meaning that they were able to sell all their tickets. So the room they were given was bigger, than most clubs. They were even allowed to use the auditorium whenever they wanted.
They were the third best club in the school. Since the expectations were so high, a lot of the club members quit, after the last production. Now they only had eight members left, but since they were one of the clubs with bigger budgets, the student council gives them their full support. The crafting club even makes their sets. The music club also helps them with their background music.
Still now that they had fewer members, the ones left were the elite of the club. Yet because of some mishap the lead actor, Kevin wasn't able to make it for the next play, which will happen next week Friday.
This is where the Mercenary Club comes in. Emily who was a friend of Katrina the President of the Drama Club via cosplaying. Told her friend that she knew someone who could replace Kevin. This replacement she was speaking about was of course Alex. On the other hand the replacement Katrina was thinking abuot was the most popular boy in school Niel.
...
When the Mercenary Club reached the Clubroom of the Drama club, they could hear some dramatic music playing inside. They could also hear two people talking to each other.
"We wont be able to make it..."
"I know that already... I guess this is goodbye."
"Heh, will you look at that. I still have two left, want one?"
"Thanks... One last cigar before we go to hell."
"Do you think Leo made it?"
"If anyone could finish this mission it would be Leo."
While the two people where having this conversation the Mercenary Club couldn't enter the clubroom, since it was obvious that they were practicing. Then the sound of gunfire could be heard, the music also changed tones.
"Here they come."
"Right on schedule, how many bullets do you have left?"
"I have ten rounds, you?"
"I got one shot left, and two grenades."
"Not much, but let's give them a surprise present."
"Sure let's do that."
The gunfire intensifies and after a few more seconds a loud explosion happened.
"Cut! That was perfect!" This time the one talking was the voice of a girl. When Alex's group heard this, they found their chance to enter the clubroom.
Upon entering the clubroom, they saw a lot of costumes on one side, a bunch of background pictures in another and in the middle of the room, were four people reading a script, two who looking at each other, and one person sitting on a chair holding a fan.
The girl sitting on the chair noticed Alex's group had entered, and happily approached them. The girl approaching Alex's group had glasses on, and looked very aggressive for some reason. Emily started walking towards the girl and the two begin to hug.
"Emi! Long time no see!"
"It's good to see you Kat. When the last time again?"
"When we went to cosplay as Lara and Hilda. So are you going to join us here in the Drama Club? With your skills you can play any role you want."
"No, I'm happy with the club I'm in right now... Oh right, So Kat here we are and I brought you your new star."
"I know, who would've thought that we can actually get the Niel Rayheart to play the protagonist of the story." Katrina looked at Niel assessing him.
"No not him. This is the new star Alexander Samarita." Emily pulled Alex into the spotlight. Katrina then looked at Emily with a weird expression, and then looked at Alex confused.
"What? He is the one playing the role? Not Niel, but Alex? The one who is rumored to have an expressionless face. Granted he is good looking, and I hear he is very athletic... but really, him?"
"Don't dismiss him just yet. We all agreed even Niel stated that Alex is the one most suited one to play this role. At least try, come on do this one scene and see what you think."
Emily showed her copy of the script and pointed at the scene Alex did yesterday. This time they wont just say one line they would do the whole scene.
"Very well let's see what he can do. Everyone will be doing Act 5 scene 3. Alex here will be playing the lead. Hand him a script will you." One of the Drama club members handed Alex a script, and the three boys from the Drama Club as well as Alex stood center stage.
"Okay everyone get to your positions... Action!" Upon hearing katrina's signal the actors started saying their lines, alongside some music.
"Damn it! How can we allow Jason to die!"
"I can't do it anymore, this is it for me. There is no more glory in this. We'll just get massacred... Face it, we failed."
"This mission isn't allowed to fail." Alex said his line the same way he would in the battlefield. Full of conviction and confidence. His tone was still indifferent, but by simply seeing his body language you could actually feel his conviction.
The Drama Club members were a bit surprised, but they still continued on. As expected of the best actors this school has to offer.
"What the f*ck Leo! There's nothing left! We can't finish this d*mn mission anymore."
"Why? Because we lost one man?" The stoic expression coupled with a bit of confusion was perfect. Katrina was getting sucked in by Alex's acting. Even the other actors saying the lines with Alex, really felt their roles even more. They actually felt like it was getting real.
"Of course you can't understand! You. The perfect soldier! To you lives mean nothing! To you as long as the mission is completed, nothing matters. You may be the perfect soldier, but you are a worthless human!"
The next line Alex did was the same line he used yesterday, and same as before it was a perfect delivery.
"This is war we're having, do you think one man's death means anything? We are soldiers, nothing more, nothing less." The moment Katrina heard Alex say that line, coupled his voice and his stoic expression. She really believed that Alex became Leo the perfect soldier. Katrina felt that she and the members of the Drama Club were transported into the battlefield.
The conviction in his voice, the resolve in his eyes. The chilly atmosphere of the battlefield his aura, his presence emitted was perfect. It was like he was born to play this role.
"Amazing!" The members of the Drama Club all clapped at this moment. Katrina was so amazed that she didn't even get to say cut, before saying Alex's performance was amazing.
Emily who was watching at the side was as usual having fun, seeing her plan going as smoothly as possible.
