Lost among the elites

Chapter 8: Clash of champions

Lost one's POV 

2 weeks had passed since I made horikita my tool. I ordered some pizza and picked up my books to prepare for the exams. It had been a while since I properly studied after entering the school. Most of my time went into thinking about ways I can increase the chances of winning for my class but being in a school also means I have to study. At this point I was feeling burnt out and excited. 2nd year students were running behind me trying to know more about me and my class. Were all these people so egoistic just because I looted some stupid 2nd years ? Maybe the reason all of them followed Nagumo was because he was like this, that he had promised to reward and protect students of his year but the one little clue I have might help me have some leverage over them. 

Maybe it's time I approach student council president and talk to him about it. This is so tiring !! Ahhh. 

I picked up my phone and called ayanokoji. "hey, Ayanokoji. Did you become the leader of your class yet ?" 

"How many times should I tell you that I'm not interested in standing out ? That act of yours has made me right hand man of the kushida and koenji. I just follow them around and give normal advise from time to time." he said. 

"WHAT !! HOW DID YOU GUYS MAKE KOENJI AGREE TO LEAD ?" I shouted and got up from my bed. 

"It wasn't easy but when I suggested kushida to offer koenji private points and better treatment. He surprisingly agreed but his one condition was that his contribution to class is going passive." he explained. 

"Woah ! I never expected this from him. Btw, is it ok for you to reveal this information ?" I asked

"Well If both of our classes are to be allies in future. It is natural to let go of some information and it's not like that you won't be able to get it without this call. I've seen the shady things you can do." he said.

"Haha, you know me too well. I actually wanted to ask you about student council." 

"No" 
"At least let me finish my line."    "I'm not joining the council." 
"Will you let me finish what I was saying ?"  "sure"

"Will you join student council with me ?" I said. 

"No, I'm done standing out and you better stop forcing me to do things." said ayanokoji. 

"Alright alright. Can I ask you another question ?" i asked.

"Yeah, make it quick."
"Will you join my class ? I will promise you this pseudo freedom you desire so much." i said.

"First you want me to become the leader of my class and when I reject it you ask me to join your own class. What is your motive behind this ?" He asked. 

"I want to know you more, Ayanokoji. Your physical appearance might fool others but I know you are a top class fighter, even though I'm the best at fights I doubt myself whenever I observe your body moments. You can fool our behavior but a professional like me cannot be fooled. Your body language and physique are enough for me to know that you are much more than you let out." I explained. 

"Fine, I will let it out. I used to do calligraphy and piano."  he said. 

"If that's what you say then ! I still think it's not just physical strength you have. Anyway, the class switching offer is always up and call me if you need anything."

"Sure." 

We ended the call and I thought about getting up now and finally roaming around the school. It was a holiday today so we did not have to go visit school and waste our time needlessly. I picked up my phones and left the dorms. I was planning to visit different facilities in the school. I heard there is a martial arts club here. Let's see if there is anything fun going on there.
