Before Kyoro could actually leave, Suzune grabbed his hoodie and sat him down.

"Stop acting emotional. I can tell you're faking." Suzune said with a glare. "I have no clue what you're talking about." Kyoro said looking away. "You're ecstatic about the increase in point—" "YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT I AM! FINALLY! I CAN BUY GOOD FOOD, AND NOT WORRY ABOUT GOING BANKRUPT!" Kyoro shouted stepping on the table, and causing a scene. Everyone stared at him in shock and confusion and he only waved them off.

"You're so childish. We didn't do our best, and don't ever give me that little attitude you had earlier." Suzune scolded. "Yeah, yeah, it was just a facade." Kyoro said with a smirk. "For who?" Hirata asked. "Ryūen. I had to show some other emotion than smug. If he figured I wasn't content with the outcome, he'd realize I'm not as calculating as I really am. Why so? Because I 'wanted' to do better. He thinks I was aiming higher." Kyoro said crossing his arms.

"Don't act smart." Suzune said rolling her eyes. "Pfft. I don't have to act, sweetie." Kyoro said making her blush a bit. Hirata laughed a bit, and Karuizawa only looked in confusion and a hint of disgust.

"A-Ahem. I have a proposal." Hirata started. Suzune nodded and Kyoro looked in anticipation. "First, to bring our class together, I'd like to rope in Kushida-san as an ally. I think she'll complement our group well and add qualities that the four of us lack. She could potentially unite a lot of the boys, starting with Ike-kun and Yama—"

"Unnecessary." Kyoro and Suzune said sternly. "I won't deny the fact that she has certain skills, but we can do anything she can on our own. That's why I selected you and Karuizawa. With your combined talents, we can solve any problem that faces us... Unless you plan to be uncooperative, like a certain someone." Suzune said side eyeing Kyoro. "Who the hell are you looking at?" Kyoro asked in annoyance. "It's certainly true that Keikēko-kun might not follow our lead." Karuizawa agreed. "Hah?" Kyoro asked with a glare. "You two are delusional. I'm the perfect pawn. I have no presence." Kyoro exclaimed.

"Those who claim they have no presence usually cast long shadows." Suzune retorted. "Oh? So are you someone with no presence?" Kyoro asked smugly. "Me? There's no way I could have no presence. How dare you? Do you take me for a fool?" Suzune asked grabbing Kyoro's collar. "I'm not sure you want that answer." Kyoro whispered. "Huh?" Suzune asked menacingly.

The comedy skit the two were having made Hirata laugh and Karuizawa roll her eyes.

Class was back in session. Class D was currently have a two-hour homeroom period.

"Starting today, classes begin again. However, from September to the beginning of October, we will be holding more physical education classes to prepare for the school festival. We'll distribute new weekly schedules, so please review them carefully. In addition to the new schedules, we'll also distribute materials related to the festival. Students seated at the front, please pass handouts to those behind you, and so on." Chabashira-sensei said as the students cheered about the sports festival.

'Damnit...' Kyoro grumbled along with the un-athletic students.

"The details on the printed handouts can be found on the school homepage as well. Please refer to them if necessary." Chabashira-sensei added. "Sensei, is this festival another of the special exams?" Hirata asked. "You're free to interpret this however you wish. In any case, this event will massively impact each and every class." Chabashira-sensei said vaguely.

Kyoro got his handout and immediately set it down with a sigh. He groaned and went to lie own his arms but, "Kyoro-kun, here!" Suzune said pointing to something in the handout. Kyoro looked at what she was referring to and saw the testing method for the festival. Kyoro felt a gaze on him and noticed it was Chabashira-sensei, but didn't acknowledge it.
