Outsider : Classroom Of The Elite

Chapter 2.2 - Discussion

The classes had ended for the day. Hirata stood at the podium, using the blackboard to prepare for a big discussion. With an exception of Ayanokouji, Sudou and Horikita, everyone was listening to his discussion. Unlike the other students, I was painfully aware of the futility of this meeting. But I still decided to pry onto their subject.

I wonder what they're doing.

"Alright everyone, let's begin the discussion. First of all, do not panic about our class being in the last place. We may have gotten less private points this month, but on the bright side, it's better than having none." Hirata began.

"Sure, the other classes now have more class points than us. But let me remind you of what Chabashira-sensei had told us. There will be opportunities to increase our class points, right? So I don't think there's any reason for us to lose hope."

"You're right, Hirata-kun. But what are we supposed to do now?"

"Yeah, we don't know when exactly will this 'opportunity' come."

"We will come to terms with it." Hirata replied.

"If only those morons used a little bit of their peanut brains, we wouldn't be in this situation."

"God, it's so frustrating! Like, seriously I hate their guts!"

"I told you earlier! I'm s-sorry." Ike murmured.

Expectedly, everyone rumbled upon those who didn't follow the orders. It was only natural behavior for the sufferers to push the blame on the others. I doubt that Ike and the others were the sole reason behind the deduction of points. In any case, they couldn't do anything other than swallowing it all. Guilt and regret filled all over their faces.

"Everyone, please stop antagonizing them. I'm sure Ike-kun and the others didn't mean to hold us back like that, right?" unfortunately the last sentence was the trigger that broke the barrier.

"What do you mean, Hirata-kun? They literally mocked you when you suggested the idea."

"Yeah. Like they didn't even bother listening to you."

"True. But in the end it was just a hypothesis on our side. It wasn't anything abnormal for them to not trust our ideas." Hirata defended.

"Yeah. Please don't say rude things like that." Kushida also tried to deescalate the situation. But it was all in vein.

"You're too nice for your own good, Hirata-kun, Kushida-san. But these idiots deserve to be treated like this. It's common sense NOT to do what they did in a highschool." said the person who would've done the same thing if I didn't leash them.

"Who plays video games without headphones during a Math lesson?"

"B-but still..." Hirata stammered.

"Because of them we are in this situation in the first place!"

"We're not the defects, they are!"

"Yeah, I wonder how'd they even manage to get into this school."

"I bet their parents hate them lol..."

"S-stop..." Yamauchi muttered as he put his hands on his ears.

Everyone was spitting venom at them from all sides. They were cornering them from all sides. It would only take so much pressure to push them towards their boiling point.

Guess I'll save them now.

"This is not the time to talk like that." I got up from my seat.
