Her Sword: Classroom of the Elite

Ibu-Chan

I shook my head in annoyance, there were too many people in the class B campsite for me to enact my plan. I stared at the back of the girl's head, grinning in anticipation

Himeno Yuki, just you wait.

"Ichinose! Thanks for letting me stay here for a while, but I should get going." 

The girl looked at me and smiled, I could tell I won her over.

"All good Funaki! Have a safe walk back to class C!"

With that, I thanked the class for letting me stay for a while and left the campsite.

Although my plans weren't to return back to class C.

After a few minutes of running, I ended up at my desired location. I took a deep breath, this was definitely going to be the more important part of my mission.

"Funaki?" A familiar girl with black hair said.

"Hello, Horikita." I responded.

I had arrived at class D's campsite, my final destination for the first stage of my plan.

The students of the class all gave me funny looks, it seems some of them are suspecting me of trying to infiltrate their class.

"Is... Is Ibu-chan okay?" I asked.

"Ibu chan?" Horikita asked confused.

"You know, Ibuki? Short hair and pretty eyes?" I explained

Upon this, many of the students began bursting out in laughter.

Good, it seems my use of Ibuki's 'nickname' has gotten rid of their suspicions for now.

"Fu-Funaki! What did you just call me!?" Ibuki shouted loudly.

Good, she's reacting as she should. I didn't tell Ibuki about my plan to call her by a nickname, so her flustered reaction isn't actually fabricated.

"I've called you that since we were kids... Do you not remember..?" I lied.

Ibuki's eyes suddenly widened, but she quickly regained her composure.

"Jeez, I've told you time and time again not to call me by that nickname!" She said with a semi angry expression.

Good, she's caught on.

Suddenly, a handsome boy with brown hair approached me.

"Are you and Ibuki close Funaki?" The boy said.

"Yep! She's my childhood friend, we even went to the same elementary and middle school together!" I said energetically.

Obviously these were all lies, I've never actually been to a school other than this one.

"I actually came to check up on Ibu-chan, some stuff went down in class C resulting in her getting kicked out. Unfortunately wasn't there to help her out..." I said in a sad tone, especially towards the end.

I glanced at Ibuki and motioned to her to start the plan I told her about before she got kicked out of the camp.

I began to fake some tears, a skill I've been using a lot recently.

"Ibu-chan! I'm sorry I couldn't hold off against Ryueen! And now you've been kicked out of your own class! It's all my fault!" I said, wiping the 'tears' off of my face with my arms.

Suddenly I felt soft and gentle arms wrap around me. Jeez, first Ichinose, now Ibuki? How many people are going to give me a hug in this school?

"It's okay Funaki, I can hold out fine myself! You can leave the island with the rest of the class, your frail body wouldn't be able to handle these conditions!" She said with a passionate voice.

"How can I leave you to fight all by yourself you idiot!?" I shouted at her.

"I'll manage just fine, trust me Funaki! Have I ever lied to you?" She said with a warm smile plastered on her face.

I looked around us and noticed the expressions of the class D students, all of them were looking at us with compassion and tears in there eyes.

"Y-you promise?" I said, whimping and quivering while speaking.

"We'll make it happen Funaki! I promise you!" The brown haired boy I was talking to before said passionately.

"I agree! We can't let Kakeru Ryueen abuse the members of his class!" I heard Kushida's voice say.

I glanced at the bipolar girl shocked. Had she not realised that she just outed herself as someone conspiring with our class by saying Ryueen's first name?

'Well, unless a genius is hidden within this class, I'm sure nobody will figure her out.' I thought

Oh wait, but there was one wasn't there?

A picture of a certain brown haired boy with emotionless gold eyes came to my mind.

Shaking away those thoughts, I focused back on what was going on right now.

"Alright, I'll believe you Ibu-chan! If you get hurt, I'll stay with you until you recover, so don't worry!" I said honestly. I mean, if the girl got seriously hurt because of my plan, I would at least be somewhat obliged to help her recover.

Horikita suddenly butted in and broke us up.

"Ahem! I think that's enough hugging for now wouldn't you say... Ibu chan? " The girl said in a... Jealous tone?

Why on earth would Horikita be jealous of Ibuki hugging me?

"Don't worry Funaki, class D will do our best to take care of Ibuki, I can promise you that." She said, smiling confidently at me.

Perfect, this should remove all suspicion class D had on Ibuki, meaning it will be easier for her to come out with the leader.

"Alright, I'll get going now! Seeya Suzu-chan, Ibu-chan!"

Horikita suddenly blushed while the rest of her class giggled at the nickname I gave her.

I waved the class goodbye, but not before making eye contact with a certain individual.

I stared into the person's cold and emotionless eyes. I'm sure if kept looking, I would gradually be sucked into his gaze, similar to a black hole.

'Ayanokoji Kiyotaka' whatever will you do for this exam?

Will you lose? Getting crushed in the process?

Or will you win?

Crushing absolutely everything around you in the process?
