In the corridor between the 4 classes, there was a panel which regularly updates our class points. During recess, my friends and I crowded around it.

"Sei-chan, it seems like we are in the lead!"

"Yeah, that's good, isn't it?"

"Yeah, I actually feel kind of sorry for some of the good kids in Class D, they lost all their points didn't they?"

"Do you think we should go help them?"

"Sei-chan, you're way too nice! If we actively help them out, they might close the gap you know?"

"But still... They wont get any private points for the next few months you know? Don't you pity them? Especially Kushida-chan, she's super nice, yet she's suffering like this."

"Hmm.. I don't mind helping Kushida-chan out but I definitely don't want to help Karuizawa and gang out! There's a lot of bad rumours going on around them!"

"Ahhh... yeah.. me too.. I'm kind of scared of them"

"If you guys don't feel comfortable then you don't need to help out. Its not mandatory you know?"

This short conversation between my friend group made me realise our class's competitive spirit. Flashes of my previous life shot through my mind.

"Sei-chan, are you okay? You suddenly turned really pale."

"Ah.. no, I'm just a little light headed."

"You should take a break for today, you've been working really hard trying to get along with Katsuragi's gang"

"I'll just head to the infirmary then, please tell Mashima-sensei that,"

"Okay! Take care, Sei-chan!"

I hobbled to the infirmary. I didn't want the same tragedy to repeat. I've already lived through that nightmare once, and I don't want to experience it again. Please, don't let this class end up like that...

"Tanaka-san?"

Ichinose, from Class B, reached out to me. We were on good terms and spoke on occasion. She truly was a kind-hearted, good person. Ichinose seemed to have been walking out of her classroom to the cafeteria when she noticed me.

"Ichinose-san... Sorry for worrying you, I was just making my way to the infirmary."

"Are you okay? Do you need some help?"

"Well, I'm just feeling a little dizzy... It's nothing really."

"You really don't look that well, I'll help you to the infirmary."

"You really don't have to.. Don't waste your precious break time on me, a class A student..."

"You don't have to mind me then, this is just my selfish feelings of wanting to help you."

"Then... thanks."

In the infirmary, I recalled how I first met Ichinose.

I was with Sakayanagi as usual and Ichinose along with a group of her friends bumped into us. Imaginary rays of light emitting from both Sakayanagi and Ichinose clashed against each other. as

"My, how nice to meet you Ichinose-san"

"Indeed, Sakayanagi-san"

Although little words were exchanged, there was still a sense of interclass rivalry along with the fact that the two leaders had differing methods of leadership.

"May I ask who this is? It is not common to see you with someone other than Masumi-san"

Sakayanagi glanced towards me. To which I immediately responded in a lively tone,

"Greetings, Ichinose-san! I am Tanaka Sei, pleased to make your acquaintance!"

As if surprised by the sudden change in mood of the conversation, Ichinose jolted a little before exchanging a little more pleasantries and proceeded to take her leave.

"You did well."

"Thank you very much!"

"tanaka-san... Tanaka-san! Are you listening to me?" The nurse's voice snapped me back into reality.

"I'm sorry... it seems I'm still a little woozy."

"It's alright, have these pills and take a nice nap at your room. I'll inform your teacher that you're not feeling well."

"Thank you very much"

It seemed like Ichinose had already left.

I walked past the classroom on my way to the staircase and noticed the gloomy atmosphere just emanating from the Class D classroom.

Yeah... their class was in disarray at this point of time.

Kushida noticed me looking into their class and gave me a small wave. I beamed and waved back. This small interaction was observed by Ayanokoji.

He still had his poker face on but he gave off those "I'm stupid" vibes. The novel didn't really describe how but I assumed that he was doing it on purpose.

We made eye contact and I briefly walked away. There's nothing to gain by interacting with the main character.
