Classroom of the Elite: OC the unpolished diamond

Volume 2: Payday

Chapter 3

Yato pov: 

I was in my room reading a book when I received a notification on my phone. I opened it and saw...

Ishizaki sent an audio recording file

Ishizaki [ What do you want now? ]

Good. He just sent me the trial record. It has probably just ended now, so I have time to take care of the last problem in my plan.

I just laid down in my bed before I started the audio file.

(A.N): {  } mean audio parts

Manabu: {Well then, I would now like to discuss the violent incident that occurred last Tuesday with the members of the student council, the involved parties, and their homeroom teachers. Hmm? Chabashira-Sensei, is no student missing from your side?}

Chabashira: { Huh, were you expecting someone in particular to come at this trial, Horikita? }

Manabu: { I had heard of a particular student from Nagumo, but it seems he was wrong. Let's continue... }

Yato: Argh...

I have a bad feeling about this...

This Nagumo Miyabi guy already talked about me to Horikita Manabu? It's such an unwelcomed gift...

But whatever, I can't do anything about it, so I'll continue to listen to the record.

Yato: ...

They were talking about the case without much importance for me until...

???: { Hyah?! }

Yato: What the fuck was that sound?

With my earphones on, I removed one to verify if it was really from the audio Ishizaki sent me, but shortly after, the first sort of moan...

Horkita: { W-wait. S-stop, stop! }

Yato: The fuck happened in the student council room?

Ayanokoji: {Get a grip on yourself, Horikita. We're going to lose at this rate.}

Horikita: { I know! }

I'm still unsure what this Ayanokoji guy did, but he forced Horikita to speak up, which is great because she's been silent since the very beginning. It might be because her older brother is in the same room, but Ayanokoji has brought her back to reality.

Yato: Ayanokoji again huh? 

I just sighed before listening to the audio until it reached its end.

Manabu: { That's enough. Continuing this discussion would just be a waste of time. What I've learned today is that each side has an exact opposite claim. In that case, one side is propagating an extremely malicious falsehood. }

Manabu: { I'll ask you, Class C. Have you lied to us today? }

Ishizaki: { Of...of course not! }

Manabu: { Well, what about you, Class D? }

Horikita: { I haven't lied. Everything we've said has been the truth. }
