"Data Extortion" - Classroom of the Elite

Volume 1: Chapter 10 - Sporadic Bond

As time passed, I began feeling more and more...impatient, shall I say. Thanks to Suzune's invitation, which I couldn't refuse due to my natural curiosity, I had been waiting outside her dorm room for a couple of minutes now. I arrived earlier than needed, it was common courtesy after all. However, the frustration was getting to me.

'Why?' - You may ask. Well, for a very simple reason.

I was on the girls' dorm floor, more specifically, I was living on the girls' dorm floor.

That's right. Since my transfer was messy, they had to allocate me to a room that was meant for a girl (with very strict rules and guidelines, mind you), hence my neighbor was Suzune. This was both bad and good luck. The school said that once a vacant spot appears, they'll transfer me to a boy's dorm. The school seemed sure that a vacant spot for the first year would appear, though I had no clue as to why. Would someone get expelled? That was a possibility, but it seems a tad unethical to rely on such a circumstance.

Regardless, for the time being, I am stuck living in the girls' dorms. Many (Such as Kanji and Haruki) would think of this as a dream. And I can safely tell you now that it's far from the case. The only bonus is that the hallways smell a lot fresher, but other than that, I'd much prefer to be in the boys' dorm section. There's no one to hang out with, I feel creepy, and worst of all I can't test RFID cloning on any of these doors.

It gets awkward explaining this to the girls that pass by me, even if they felt sympathy for me, others may have thought that I was a creep that enjoyed this, but that's their flawed perception. Though I can't exactly blame them.

I leaned against a wall that was next to Suzune's dorm room entrance, wondering what for what reasons she could've invited me to her room of all places. I'd expect her to invite me to a public place, not her own room. 

When the clock hit six, I rang the doorbell to her room and waited for her to open it. Eventually, she did come by the door and open it, I greeted her with a light mile.

"Heya." I waved to her casually, and she nodded as if acknowledging my presence.

"Take off your shoes and come in." I did just that, leaving them beside the door and I stepped into her room. Of course, the first thing I did was look around. I'm...genuinely surprised at how girly it was. I expected Suzune to be more plain-jane. It wasn't girly to the point where it had flowers, and posters everywhere, it managed to be neat, yet still, show some character.

It smelled nice, too. I could tell by the state of her room that she took care of it and cleaned a lot. Suzune closed the door behind us and locked it. 

"You're still in your uniform?" She asked me. She had already changed her clothes, which was natural given the time, she wore a  light blue T-shirt and a skirt. I was simply too lazy to change mine. 

"Yep, couldn't be bothered to change it." That said, I did take off the blazer and hung it on her coat rack. It was pretty warm in her room and I didn't want to begin sweating.

"I'm preparing some tea for the both of us. Please wait here and don't touch anything." Right, as if I'd listen to that. 

"Hey, are you gonna tell me why you called me here?" I said rather loudly as she was in another room, I could hear the kettle boiling. Suzune didn't say anything back, so I decided to look around her room. 

Near the desk of her room, I noticed something that appeared to be written in Kanji...Life Schedule...Reach class A. Eat, study, eat, sleep? Satan himself would shit himself at the sight of this. 

Though I guess it explains why she's so proficient in academics.

I took my eyes off the terrifying schedule and looked down at her desk, which had a picture of her and Manabu when they were younger.
