Saving Sudo/Midterm test

I continued observing students as they bought lunch sets from the ticket

machine. After I'd observed about twenty students, my target appeared. He

purchased his meal ticket and walked to the counter with heavy, plodding

footsteps.

Ike: Ayanokoji's perspective again huh.

Sotomura: But of course, as I said I believe he is the main prota-

Ike: Yeah yeah we know you don't need to say it twice. 

(Was he jealous? Why would he, ohhh Kushida's with me)

"Okay, let's go," I said.

"Hmm? Okay."

We quickly exchanged our tickets for our meals and sat down in front

of the heavy-footed student.

"Um, excuse me. Are you an upperclassman?" I asked.

"Hmm? Who are you?" The student regarded us calmly, a look of

complete disinterest on his face.

"Are you a second-year student? Third-year?"

"Third-year. Let me guess, you're a first-year?"

"I'm Ayanokouji, from Class D. You're also in Class D, aren't you?"

Kanzaki:How did you know?

(He's getting more and more nosy) He was eating the free meal.

"What's that got to do with you?"

Kushida looked at me with surprise, as if asking, "How did you

know?"

"Because he's limited to eating the free meals. It's not very tasty, is

it?" I asked. He was eating the free vegetable meal set.

"What do you want? You're really irritating." He took his tray and

made to stand, but I stopped him.

"I want to ask you something. If you listen, I'll show you my

gratitude."

"Gratitude?"

The cafeteria's hustle and bustle drowned out my voice. The students

were all engrossed in chatting pleasantly with their friends.

"Do you still have the problems from the midterm test from the first

semester of your first year? Or, if not, do you happen to know someone from

your class who does?"

"Do you even understand what you're asking?" he said.

"It's not particularly strange, is it? I didn't think it was against school

rules to study using old test problems."

Hashimoto:(So he really is something huh) How did you know that king?

Horikita said something about that a while ago and i connected the dots. It was kind of a coincidence.

Horkita: (He really plans on using me as cover through all this? Will he still help the class after all this?)
