"Ding dong..."
The bell for the end of class rang throughout the campus, reaching the ears of everyone in D class.
However, no one in the entire D class stood up from their seats, remaining silent.
A stifling atmosphere permeated the entire classroom.
It seems that everyone has not reacted to the sudden cruel reality and is still sitting there dazed.
I guess there's nothing that can be done about it, right?
Until yesterday, the students in this class still regarded the school as a paradise, living a life of luxury and entertainment.
Now, it's not just a return to the pre-liberation era.
Even the subsequent life will completely change, becoming the bottom of the entire school.
How can a group of students who haven't even reached adulthood suddenly accept this?
After a long time, there was finally some movement in the class.
"The points didn't get saved. What should we do next?"
"I used up all the remaining points yesterday..."
"Instead of points, the class is the problem... What a joke, why am I in D class...!"
Yukimura Teruhiko angrily made a rough sound, with a slight sweat on his forehead.
"Wait, so we can't get into the school we like? Then why did I even come to this school? Does Sae sensei hate us...?"
The other students also couldn't hide their confused expressions.
"I understand everyone's confusion, but let's calm down for now."
Yosuke Hirata, who felt the dangerous atmosphere in the classroom, stood up to stabilize the emotions around him.
"What calmness? Being called the 'tail of the crane,' aren't you unwilling to accept it?"
"Even if we are being talked about like this now, as long as we work together to regain our pride, isn't that good enough?"
"Regain our pride? I haven't been able to accept it since the stage of being divided into classes!"
"I understand how you feel. But even if you vent here, nothing can really change, right?"
"What are you saying?"
Yukimura Teruhiko approached with a momentum similar to grabbing Hirata's collar, shortening the distance between them.
"Both of you, please calm down, okay? Just now, the teacher must have been trying to motivate us, that's why he spoke so harshly, right?"
It's Kushida Kikyou. As soon as she stepped between the two confronting individuals, she gently placed her hand on Yukimura's tightly clenched fist. Yukimura Teruhiko didn't want Kushida to get hurt, so he involuntarily took a half step back.
"And besides, we've only been in school for a month, right? Just like what classmate Hirata said, let's all work hard together from now on, isn't that good? Did I say something wrong?"
"N-no, you didn't... Although what you said, Kushida, is indeed not wrong..."
Yukimura Teruhiko Nearly half of the anger has dissipated.
Kushida Kikyou's eyes earnestly convey that as long as everyone in D class unites, there will always be a way.
"Yes, that's right. There's no need to be so anxious, right? And there's no need for Yukimura and Hirata to argue."
"Sorry. I wasn't very calm just now."
"It's okay, I should be more careful with my words."
The presence of Kushida Kikyou integrated this casual discussion.
In this situation, Yosuke Hirata seems to want to do something.
However, that has nothing to do with Ayanokōji anymore.
Because he went to the bathroom.
Don't ask me why a cultivator needs to go to the bathroom. If you ask, you're the author.
"After school, Yosuke Hirata stood at the platform as he had announced in the morning meeting, preparing for the strategy meeting on the blackboard."
The level of participation reflects the extent of Yosuke Hirata's influence. Apart from Keihoku Suzune, Sudō Ken, and a few other men and women, the seats are almost full.
Ayanokōji looked around.
It seems that everyone who isn't here has already left.
Before we start the formal discussion, I'll go out for a bit.
Then, I was caught by Kushida Kikyou again.
Karuizawa Kei helps Ayanokōji break free from Kushida Kikyou.
Just at this moment.
"One year D class Ayanokōji classmate, the class advisor Teacher Chabashira needs to see you, please come to the teacher's office."
After the gentle prelude sound effect played, the emotionless broadcast announcement spread throughout the classroom.
"It seems like the teacher is looking for you."
"Yeah... Kushida, I'll be right back."
Quietly open the door to the teacher's office.
Looking around, but not seeing the figure of Teacher Chabashira.
I can't help it, I strike up a conversation with the teacher who is checking her appearance in the mirror.
"Um... Is Teacher Chabashira available?"
"Huh? Sae? Hmm... He was here just a moment ago."
The teacher turned around, with slightly curly medium-length hair, exuding the aura of a modern adult.
She affectionately called him Teacher Chabashira, and they seemed to be close in age, perhaps they were friends.
"It looks like he's temporarily left his seat, do you want to come in and wait?"
"No need, I'll wait in the corridor," said Ayanokoji as he prepared to leave.
The young teacher, for some reason, also walked down the corridor.
"I am the homeroom teacher for Class B, my name is Tomoe Hoshino. I have been best friends with Sae since high school, and we even call each other ' Sae' and 'Kochi'."
Tomoe Hoshino? Is that the strange teacher that Katagiri mentioned?
"Hey, Sae, why did he call you out? Hey, hey, why?"
"Um, I have no idea about this at all..."
"You have no idea? They called you out without even giving a reason? What's your name?"
She launched an offensive of questions and observed Ayanokōji as if sizing him up.
"I'm Ayanokōji."
"Ayanokōji, my classmate. How should I put it? Aren't you quite handsome? You must be very popular, right?"
It's really strange, and it keeps disrupting my thoughts with other information.
Are you trying to dig out some information from me?
"Hey, hey, have you got a girlfriend yet?"
"No, because I'm not popular." Ayanokōji felt that being involved with her would be a disadvantage, so he deliberately acted very impatient.
However, Tomoe Hoshino actively approached as if enjoying it. She grabbed Ayanokōji's arm with her delicate and pretty hand.
"Oh? What a surprise. If we were in the same class, I definitely wouldn't leave you alone. Are you always this slow? Poke poke."
Tomoe Hoshino poked Ayanokōji's cheek with her index finger, leaving Ayanokōji feeling helpless.
Working at this school is not easy. I can't believe they are using this method to gather information.
" Hoshinomiya, what are you doing?"
Chabashira Sae suddenly appeared and struck Tomoe Hoshino on the head with a loud thud using the board clamp in their hand.
Tomoe Hoshino held their head and crouched down, looking like they were in a lot of pain.
"It hurts! What are you doing!"
"It's because you're bothering my student."
"Because he said he was coming to see Sae, I was just keeping him company while you were still out."
"Don't pay attention to him, Ayanokōji. Sorry for keeping you waiting. It's not very convenient here, so come with me to the counseling room."
"No, I think it's okay to stay here. Instead of that, you mentioned a counseling room... Did I do something wrong?"
"Don't talk back, come with me."
"Ah!"
Beside Ayanokōji, Tomoe Hoshino smiled and followed them.
Chabashira Sae Immediately noticed this and turned around with a demonic expression. "Don't follow me."
"Don't speak so coldly. It won't hurt to let me listen, right?"
"And, Sae is the type who absolutely won't provide individual guidance, right? But suddenly calling the new student Ayanokōji to the counseling room... I wonder if Sae has some kind of purpose."
Tomoe Hoshino smiled and answered, then circled around to Ayanokōji's back, placing her hands on his shoulders. Although he couldn't see Tomoe Hoshino's expression, Ayanokōji could definitely feel the intense collision of their gazes.
" Sae, you wouldn't be trying to rebel, would you?"
Rebel? What does that mean?
"Don't talk nonsense, of course this kind of thing is impossible."
"Hehe, can't this kind of thing be done, Sae?"
"Tomoe Hoshino muttered with a meaningful look.
"How long do you plan to follow? This is a D class issue."
"Huh? I just want to go to the counseling room together! Is that not allowed? Look, I can also help give advice!"
Just as Tomoe Hoshino was about to insist on taking them.
A female student stood in front of them.
She had light pink hair.
"Hoshinomiya sensei, can I have a moment of your time? I have something to say about the student council."
In an instant, she made eye contact with Ayanokōji, but quickly averted her gaze and looked at Tomoe Hoshino.
"Look, you have a visitor too, go quickly."
Chabashira Sae with a bang, hit Tomoe Hoshino on the butt.
"Seriously, if we keep joking around, it seems like we'll make Sae angry. See you next time, Ayanokōji."
"Then, Ichinose, let's go to the teacher's office."
After saying that, Tomoe Hoshino walked back briskly and went to the teacher's office with a beautiful woman named Ichinose.
Ichinose? The female commander of Class B? Wasn't her subordinate completely led by Kataoka a few days ago?
Student council, does she want to regain power?
Looks like I need to inform Katagiri.
Chabashira Sae Watching from a distanceTomoe Hoshinoleft.
She scratched her head and took a step towards the direction of the counseling room.
Not long after, they went into the counseling room near the teachers' office.
"So... what's the reason for calling me out?"
"Hmm, well... before I explain, come over here first."
Chabashira Sae glanced at the round clock hanging on the wall, then immediately opened a door in the counseling room.
It looks like a Pantry here, with a kettle on the stove.
"Making some tea, right? Can I use roasted tea?"
Ayanokōji picked up the container filled with roasted green tea powder.
"Don't make a fuss. Just stay quiet inside. Until I say you can come out, stay quiet inside and don't make a sound. Got it? If you disobey, you'll be expelled."
"What? I completely understand what you mean—" Before Ayanokōji could finish speaking, the door to the Pantry was closed.
What exactly is she planning?
After waiting for a while,
Not long after, the sound of the door opening came from the counseling room.
"Come in! So, Horikita, what did you want to talk to me about?"
"Since that's the case, I'll get straight to the point and ask," Horikita Suzune said, fixing a determined gaze on Chabashira Sae.
"Why was I assigned to D class?"
"Surely it's because of this matter."
"Exhaling a puff of smoke, even the smile looks emotionless, replying in such a manner.
"Are you so dissatisfied with being in D class?"
"No one is satisfied with being unfairly judged," stubbornly insisted Horikita Suzune.
"You also said that outstanding people will be selected for Class A, while Class D is the last fortress where the bottom students gather on campus. I really can't agree that I would be assigned to such a class."
"Why? Just because your academic performance is higher?"
Chabashira Sae said without changing expression.
"Having good academic performance is indeed a kind of ability, but the purpose of this school is to cultivate truly outstanding individuals."
" Horikita, if you think you meet this requirement, then I'll ask you, besides having good academic performance and being good at sports, what else can you consider as outstanding?"
"Well..."
Horikita Suzune was momentarily at a loss for words.
But Chabashira Sae followed up with a counterattack.
"Since the start of the school year, you haven't communicated with anyone, have you?"
"Well... that's because I didn't think it was necessary..."
"Is it really necessary? How did you come to that conclusion?"
"...If one can handle everything on their own, then there's no need to interact with others, right?"
"It's just a pretentious theory. Are you trying to tell me that if you hold a high position in this country, you can manage the entire country by yourself?"
"Well... you're just exaggerating, teacher!"
"Is that so? I actually think it's you who completely underestimates everything other than yourself." Chabashira Sae gazed at the somewhat shaken Horikita Suzune and let out a cold laugh.
