Classroom of the Elite (Ayanokoji Kiyone)

Volume 1 : Trying Once More

Ayanokoji Kiyone POV

Inside classroom

A month and a half since the start of school. I spent every day carefree.

Horikita : "Excuse me, can you hear me? Is your head ok?"

She knock my forehead with her hand, and I rubbed it.

Horikita : "What happened? Are you out of power source? Do you need to get recharged."

Kiyone : "What do you think I am?"

Horikita : "A heartless machine"

Eh? She didn't think I wasn't human right? Did it means sarcasm or she literally thinking me as one? either way, Horikita-san intuition somehow truly sharp.

Wait, why would I think myself like as a machine? I'm 100% human, I just had a trouble to behave like human normally do. That's all!!!

Horikita : "Ayanokoji-san, are you still there? Are you even listening?"

Kiyone : "I'm listening. I was just lost in though"

Horikita : "Hmph! well, whatever"

I remembered how we reached this situation, last night after some 'talk' in the dormitory hallway. She started to make her move, just like usual. Her selfish desire truly disturb my peaceful life. She already treat me like her subordinate without my consent at all

Oh well, no use crying over spilt milk. At the time, I agreed to help to cheer her up, but thinking back on it, it's really not like me to accept. Am I regret my decision? Forget about it, I didn't decide anything, more look like I got swept away by flows.

Kiyone : "So, Horikita-san. What will you do?"

She is thinking for a while...

Horikita : "Well... Of course, we need to persuade Sudou-kun and the others to participate in the study group again. To do that, you'll have to grovel at your feet, begging them to join."

Kiyone : "Wait, Why do I have to do that? In the first place, you're the reason there was a dispute back then."

Horikita : "The true reason is that they didn't want to study. Don't mistake that."

I wonder.....Does she even want to help them?

Kiyone : "It's impossible to gather them again without Kushida's help. You know that too, right?"

Horikita : "I don't think so. You maybe not aware but aside from Kushida-san, I think that they listen to you as well."

Kiyone : "Me?"

Horikita : "Just try it, I'll work the rest"

Looks like she doesn't want to be involved with Kushida in any way possible. Even though she wasn't happy about it, she agreed since it was an emergency last time.

Horikita : "Alright, go and quickly and do your job."

Kiyone : "You said it was job yet you never talk about salary or contract about it. I wonder is there any reason for myself to do your bidding?" 

Horikita : "Of course. You are my pawn. Since you are part of this class as well you will be my workhorse until we reach class A, you have to comply. So, your task right now go and persuade them to join our study group."

Kiyone : "You do know that it doesn't work last time. I'm just nobody in their eyes"

Horikita : "You had no right to whine! That's rule already written in our contract"

Kiyone : "Wait, what contract?"

I don't remember making that kind of contract.

Horikita : "Here, look at this written contract."
