Classroom of the Elite-Reaction (Discontinued)

Midterms

Kushida and I headed to the cafeteria together.

Akito-"Why are you with her after what she did to you?"

Ayanokouji-" I just needed her help. Just watch the video."

We navigated our way
through the crowd and finally reached the meal ticket machine. I bought
tickets for two portions but didn’t line up at the counter. Instead, I went to the
side of the vending machine and looked at students perusing the menu.
“What is it?” Kushida tilted her head and looked puzzled when I began
studying the machine.
“This might answer what was bothering me.”

Ike-"What is so bothersome about it?"

Okitani-"Your weird."

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.
“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.

Shinohara-"Why are you talking to an upperclassman?"

"I was just making a deal with him." What's the point of hiding anymore. This 'N' will show everything anyway.

“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?”

Keise-"How did you know that?"

No Keise. You were supposed to be one of the smart once.

"Just watch."

“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.

Katsuragi-" Interesting! You are very observant."

"I am a loner so I observe things around me."

Shinohara-"Yeah anyone could have done that."
Most of class 2D nodded.

Sakayanagi-"Fufufu Defectives. You all couldn't think of that even if you were ten times more intelligent. Don't compare yourself to Ayanokouji. You are nothing compared to him."

Everyone was thinking why was the leader of class A defending me?

Shinohara-"Why are you defending a gloomy guy like him?"

Ike-"Yeah. If you want to complement someone then complement Horikita!"

Amasawa-"Senpai! I didn't know your class were filled with such defects."

Class 2D-"What did you say?!"

“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?”
