Since the first time he laid eyes on a computer, Hyoudou Issei loved it. At first, it was just fascination with so much game he could play on the computer, but as he grew up, he was hypnotized by what a computer can do. Initially, he wanted to know how to make a game, but soon it spread into how to make other kinds of application, which landed him in the world of computer science.
Computer science really fascinated him. With a few lines of code, you can make your computer do things. Of course, more complicated command needed more blocks of line. Too bad for Issei, his high school didn't really have any clubs about computer science. The official computer clubs are just other students using the school's computer to play games or watching videos.
Aside from his fascination with computers, Issei also had a fascination with boobs. He loved them. Even if he had never touched any real boobs, he always imagined how it felt. He also wanted to have a harem, but that was a secondary goal. His main goal was to master the art of coding so that he can make AI. If he could do that, a harem of female AI would not be just a dream! Combined with the futuristic Virtual Reality, he would be able to program his own girls however he wanted!
Currently, Issei was lounging on the bench of the schoolyard with his laptop opened. His school, Kuoh Academy was once an all-girl school. This resulted in a low ratio of male students. But he never thought that it would be hard to find a friend who shared a similar interest in computer sciences. Well, he had two friends who shared a similar interest in women, but they knew nothing about computer sciences so he was all alone in this school.
He was reading some things on how to build an AI, an investment for his future. Then he heard someone called to him.
"Hyoudou-san."
"Yes, Kaichou-san?" He replied to the Student Council President of Kuoh Academy. With her beautiful face and sharp eyes behind her glasses, she was ranked number three on the most attractive girls in Kuoh Academy.
"The Student Council wants to say congratulations on advancing to the National Olympiads of Informatics. This is the first time in the history of our new school that we have a student going to nationals in computer science, not to mention you are just a first year. We truly sorry that we cannot offer any mentorship or training like other schools. The school's budget had already been determined before this academic period started so we cannot afford to spend more budget than what is planned. This doesn't mean that we do not support you, Hyoudou-san. I am considering creating a club to practice computer science for the next year. Would you like to be the club president?"
"Y-Yes!"
"On one requirement, which you have to fulfill."
"W-What is it?"
"Stop finding your way to problems. Honestly, I can't believe someone as smart as you are hanging out with the two perverts who always got into trouble."
His fingers stopped typing.
"Sigh, so you're just like any other authority figure in my life, huh?" Issei sighed and closed his laptop.
"Excuse me?"
"You're the same as my parents, my middle school teacher, my mentor in coding. You all want me to stop being myself." Issei smiled bitterly.
"I'm afraid I don't follow…"
"You people always think that since I can code, I am smart, thus I have to strive for the best. Hanging out with my friends? Peeping at the kendo club girls? That doesn't befit someone as smart as me. Is that what's on your mind?" Issei looked at his senior, who didn't answer his question. Nevertheless, Issei continued. "But, me being this open, hanging out with Motohama and Matsuda, is the real me. I want to have fun, I want to peep at the girls. That's why I always did it with my friends. Now can you guess why I love computer sciences?"
She went silent for a few seconds.
"I assume," she started after a while. "That you simply had the talent for it. But I think that my assumption is wrong. I'm sorry, Hyoudou-san. I don't know why you love computer science."
"It's because, with computer sciences, you can dictate what your computer does, including a full understanding of someone's behavior and determining the potential responses using algorithms."
She raised her eyebrow in confusion. It seemed that he needed to be clearer.
"I mean in the future, I can make my own artificial girlfriend. Combined with the booming Virtual Reality technology, I can do anything with my artificial harem and nobody would know. If I can't be a Harem King in real life, I just have to be one in Virtual Reality! Ehehehehehehe!"
Oh, Souna's eyes twitched. What is this? The stoic Student Council President showing her emotions?
"…Please forgive me if I have offended you in any way. I didn't understand you and just assumed things about you. I hope I will never do that again in the future," Souna bowed to him before extending her hand. "Friendship?"
"Friendship."
It was the start of a friendship between the two.
"By the way, Kaichou-san. I just heard it from the rumor mill, but is the Student Council truly did a hard paper-based work?"
"Yes, yes we did. Why?"
"Want to digitize it?"
"I'm afraid I don't know what you mean, Hyoudou-san."
"I mean, I probably can build an information system around the Student Council works to automate the process if I have all the requirements. For example, what is one of the basic Student Council work?"
"We handle if any students want to borrow a room for activities."
"How does it work?" Issei asked her.
"First, the student needs to fill a form that we have prepared. Then once the form is filled, they need to submit it to us to be reviewed. Room borrowing had a minimum of one-day reservation, so you can only borrow a room for tomorrow the fastest. If it passed our review, then the student needs to get the signature of the Vice-Principal of Infrastructure. And the last, we will document it in two different books so that no discrepancy happens."
"Got it. Can you wait for a week? It will be ready then."
One week later, Issei finished the information system (still beta version) and gave it to the Student Council. Souna was impressed when the system worked wonderfully. Instead of all the manual jobs people needed to do before, now the student just had to fill an online form available on the school's website. When the student entered the online form, it will automatically be pushed into the queue of forms from all the students. The Student Council members just had to read the form and gave it approval or denial with an optional message for explanation in one click. If it was approved, then the document will be printed and sent to the Vice-Principal of Infrastructure and signed, then a mail containing a notification that the room had been reserved would be sent to the student. If it was denied, then a mail containing a notification that the reservation was denied would be sent to the student with the explanation for the denial.
The Student Council members gave him a nod, smile, and pat on the head because now their jobs would be easier. They said that he should join the Student Council, then he can make all kinds of information systems to make their life easier. But Issei declined because while this one was a freebie if they want other things, he'd have to make it a business because he still had his goals in mind!
A/N: This will probably be short. Enjoy.
