Merits (Classroom Of The Elite X Male Reader)

Little Secret

The Next Day
Class 1-D
(Y/N) POV

I entered the class using the back door and got greeted by Sudou's yelling.

Sudou: I'm telling you, it wasn't like that!

Me*thought*: What kind of trouble you've gotten yourself into this time?

I looked in front and saw Sudou was confronted by Karuizawa and Shinohara.

Sudou: There were three of them!

Shinohara: Still...

Karuizawa: Yeah...

Me*thought*: What's all this?

Kushida walked towards me.

Kushida: (L/N)-kun, I think something bad might have happened.

Before I could ask, Chabashira entered the class and ordered us to take our seats.

Chabashira: Here's the thing. Basketball club members from Class C have filed a complaint with the school against Sudou. They claimed that after practice, Sudou attacked and injured them with no apparent provocation.

Sudou slammed his desk.

Sudou: It was self-defense! Self-defense! They were jealous because I became a regular, so they picked a fight.

Me: You know you need at least an evidence to support your claim, right? It might be a different story if there was a witness.

Chabashira: He's totally right.

Sudou stared down at his desk.

Kushida then stood up and gathered everyone attention.

Kushida: Everyone! Did anyone happen to see Sudou-kun's fight? Does anyone know about it?

I just stare out at the window as everyone else looked at Kushida.

Me*thought*: A fight between students, huh? Well, if my hypothesis is correct, then...

Koenji: Perhaps you'd have been better off getting expelled, Red Hair-kun. Your presence is hardly beautiful.

Sudou: Huh?!

Hirata: Sudou-kun! Don't!

Chabashira stopped the fight that was about to occur.

Chabashira: Enough! In one week's time, there will be a discussion with Class C with the student council in attendance.

Me*thought*: Jackpot.

Chabashira: Depending on how it turns out, there may be a forfeiture of points, as well as disciplinary measures for Sudou. That's all.

She then left the class and my classmates started complaining.

I sighed.

Me*thought*: I'm too lazy to do this, but whatever.

Horikita: What you're gonna do?

Me: Well, from my point of view, there's a few merits in this, so I guess I'll help.

Horikita: I see.

I stood up from my place and walked to the door. But before I could get out of the class, a hand landed on my shoulder.

Me:*turns around* Hmm?

Hirata: I happened to hear your conversation with Horikita-san just now.

Me*thought*: Huh? I'm pretty sure your seat is in the front row.
