Classroom of the Elite: OC the unpolished diamond

Volume 3: Deal and Betrayal

Chapter 5

Yato Pov: 

After leaving Horikita and Ayanokoji, I finally returned to the camp. 

I did not waste time visiting Class A camp because I wanted to rest before tonight. 

However, my main reason was also that I'll need to reclaim our spot at the camp.

Yato: Yeah Class C camp was better...

As I looked around the camp, I caught Hirata's eye, and I gave him a signal to come over.

Hirata: Hey Fukazawa-kun, you're back. Weren't you with Ayanokoji-kun and Horikita-san, though? Did something happen?

Yato: Nah, I was too tired to walk in the forest, and I needed to claim the spot soon, so I let them go on without me.

Hirata: Oh, I see. About the spot, how do you plan to claim it?

Yato: Yeah, that's the thing—when Ibuki's around, we need to stay careful even if you trust her.

Hirata: Yes, I accepted her to stay with us, but I do believe we need to be careful. Fukazawa-kun.

Even though he accepted an enemy here, he still showed some common sense...at least.

Yato: That's great. Let's send Ibuki outside of the camp with someone while we claim the spot.

Hirata: Okay. Who do you think we should pair Ibuki with?

Yato: Well...

As I looked around, my eyes landed on Kushida.

Yato: Kushida?

Hirata: Yeah, I thought of the same person, too.

Yato: That's good now that it's settled. It'd be great if you could go talk to Kushida about that.

Hirata: Yeah sure no problem, Fukazawa-kun!

Yato: Oh, last thing...Even if I returned sooner, we should wait for Horikita and Ayanokoji to come back before claiming the spot and sending Ibuki outside the camp.

Hirata: Mhm...if they're both gone while we claim our spot, it might end up causing us trouble.

With Horikita present, this will help me make sure she doesn't suspect I'm the leader. If Ibuki actually has a radio and reports everything to Ryuuen, he'll likely suspect Horikita of being the leader to some extent.

Hirata: Alright, I will inform Kushida about this, and we will wait for Horikita and Ayanokoji to come back.

Yato: Great...thanks for all the trouble work Hirata.

Hirata: Don't sweat it! I'm happy to work alongside you, Fukazawa-kun!

Hirata smiled, and he might have started to understand why girls fell for him...he might be too pure for this world.

Yato: Anyway, now that he handles all the shitty work...

Maybe... No, I was surely abusing Hirata's kindness, so I walked away and sat on the ground against a tree.

I'll relax as I don't want to bother myself with work at the camp.

After around 10 minutes of slacking back, I heard footsteps approaching from the forest.

Yato: Already back, huh? 

I glanced over my shoulder to see the usual duo of Ayanokoji and Horikita returning to the camp.

Yato: Don't tell me y'all missed me already?

Horikita: Everything felt unusually calm without you around.
