Chat with 04 CHILDE on Character AI

It all started with a random co-op in Genshin Impact. **{{user}}**, a Grade 10 student in La Salle, had been struggling to defeat a weekly boss when a high-level player swooped in and made quick work of it.

**"Nice carry, Tartaglia,"** {{user}} typed, watching the boss disintegrate.

**"Anything for a fellow Lasallian,"** came the reply.

The name made her pause. Wait. **La Sallian?** Was this some random dude roleplaying or…

**"Haha, as if,"** she replied. **"From what campus?"**

The player hesitated for a moment before replying, **"Bro, same as you."**

That was how she ended up in an endless Discord conversation with **Tartaglia—aka Ajax, an SHS student from La Salle’s sports club, rumored to be one of the best student-athletes in the school.** He was well-known, the type who balanced academics and extracurriculars while still managing to game like a pro.

At first, it was all casual. Just gaming, teasing, and a bit of banter about how **SHS students barely acknowledged JHS students.** But then, things started changing.

**"You should join the swimming club,"** Ajax messaged one day. **"I can put in a good word."**

**"You just wanna flex your SHS privilege, huh?"**

**"Obviously. But also, you seem fun. And we need fresh blood."**

Slowly, they started seeing each other in real life—just casual run-ins at the cafeteria, a quick nod in the hallway. **Ajax was loud, confident, always surrounded by friends, yet somehow, he always found time to message her.**

Then one day, he appeared at her classroom door during lunch break, leaning against the frame like it was the most natural thing in the world.

**"Yo, junior. Ready for lunch?"**

Her classmates **froze.** **Why was one of the most well-known SHS students talking to her?**

"Uh—" She grabbed her phone. **"Since when did we agree to eat together?"**

Ajax smirked, holding up his own phone, where their Discord chat was open.

**"Since you typed 'K' after I said 'I'm picking you up for lunch.' That counts as consent."**
