Kiyotaka Of Class B ( Year 1 )

Arc 8 Chap 5 : Prelude

Kiyo POV

" ...... Why did you call me here, Horikita Suzune ? " Horikita was the peculiar person who called me here during lunch. She simply pulled away from the wall and faced me with her usual expression

" I see that you don't want to waste time, Well then, I'll cut straight to the chase " She flipped her hair before glancing at me again, We stared at each other with both of our poker faces before her expression turned somewhat smugly " I want to compete with you, Ayanokouji-kun "

" Compete with me ? " Horikita nodded.

" Yes, I want you to compete against me on Tomorrow's quiz test " Horikita clarified. I pretended to doze off for a moment and Horikita didn't fail to notice it and got even more smugly.

" I see. So, What's the conditions ? " After sufficient time i asked, Facing her.

" I'm glad you asked " Horikita flipped her hair again, Gaining more confidence " If i score higher than you, Then you'd admit that i'm superior than you and apologize for all the rude stuff you said or did to me. In front of the whole school "

" I see.. " I pretended to doze off again before facing her again. " But what if i win ? "

" I highly doubt that. However.... " Horikita continued " If you win then i'll reward you with all of my Private points. You used to accept challenges right ? So this is another one "

" I see... "

I may appear apathetic in the outside, But i'm actually 'LMAOing' on the inside. Honami used this expression once while messaging with me, Apparently it stands for 'Laughing my ass off' Although I believed that it's impossible to laugh your ass off, But Honami explained that it is an expression used to show that you found something hilarious. Apparently Honami found me as something hilarious, Sigh, What a pitiful existence i am

Back at the topic in hand, Horikita's move may sound like a joke, But it is actually a nice move.

Considering the fact that Horikita kept a close eye on me since we are seated next to each other. During these past four days, I did almost nothing except for observing the students and assessing them while ignoring the lessons taught by the Teachers.

Obviously, Horikita took note of this and tried to use it against me in order to try and gain her Brother's recognition. Of course, There is always the option of refusing. However, She also covered it by recording this conversation from the start, So if i ended up refusing which is a pretty likely case in her head, She would use this conversation and convince Manabu that i was scared from her. It seems that she doesn't know Manabu pretty well, What a sad situation she is in 

However, If i ended up accepting. She would score higher than me since i wasn't paying attention and show it to Manabu that she managed to beat me someone he recognized.

Her plan wasn't bad by any means. However, She heavily underestimated me. It was a valiant attempt from her. If beating me was as easy as this then i would've been defeated multiple times in the past. Horikita Suzune, You should know your place

" Well then, I accept " Horikita's eyes widened a little, Before i felt an excited aura coming out from her. " However, I don't want your money "

Horikita's internal celebrations came to a halt, As she unconsciously narrowed her eyebrows, Aura turning serious, Even more than before. Seeing this i stated my request

" Instead, I want you to do something for me " 

" Do something for you ? " I nodded before starting slowly approaching her. She stared at me for a bit before backing away, Trying to get away from me with a disgusted expression " Ew, I never took you for a pervert. Get away from me "
