Classroom of the Elite: Crimson Usurper (Volume 2)

Chapter 1.2

"SUDOU. I have to talk to you about something. Come to the faculty room," Chabashira called out to Sudou, who was trying to beat a hasty retreat from the classroom.

"Huh? What do you want with me? I've got basketball practice now." Sudou opened up his bag to show off the sports uniform inside.

"I've already spoken with the advisor. You don't have to come with me if you don't want to, but you will face the consequences later."

Chabashira's threatening words set Sudou a little on edge. 

"What? Will this be over quickly?"

"That all depends on you. The longer you stand there, the more time you waste."

It seemed as though he had no choice but to go with her. Sudou clicked his tongue and followed Chabashira-sensei out of the classroom.

"I thought that he might have changed, but I guess Sudou's the same as ever. Wouldn't it have been better if he just got kicked out?"

Seems like the class still dislikes Sudou, as expected.

"Do you think so, too? That it would have been better if Sudou-kun was expelled?" A female student named Azuma asked.

"I don't really think so. What about you, Horikita? You were the only person who gave Sudou a helping hand." A male student named Okiya asked.

"Hmm. Well, we still don't know whether our points would go up as a class, really," she replied, disinterested.

The trio (us) got up from our seats at the same time and walked out of the classroom together. 

We occasionally went back to the dorms together, though I couldn't remember when this had started. Since we didn't have lunch together or just casually hang out, I found it odd. 

Then again, we had the same path back to the dormitory. That was probably why we walked together.

"I'm a little worried about what Chabashira-sensei said this morning," Horikita said.

"About our points being delayed?" Ayanokouji asked.

"Yes. She said that there was trouble, but did she mean that it was a problem for the school, or a problem for us, the students? If it's the latter, then..."

"You're overthinking things. We haven't caused any real problems lately. She even said so herself. I doubt Class D would be the only ones not to get any points. It's simply the school having an issue."

"I hope that's the case. Trouble directly affects our points."

"No, something happened with Sudou." I finally said.

"Why's that?" Ayanokouji asked.

"First off, Chabashira likes to lie, so I'm pretty sure that even though the class itself haven't caused problems, the individual students could've. Second, it's because Sudou got in a fight, considering his nature. I went to his basketball game recently and his skills are impressive. I'll tell you the full story soon afterwards though. My final reason is that how would an elite school with government funding and security, be able to mess something such as delivering points late?"

"I suppose you're right... wait you saw the fight?" Ayanokouji asked.

"Yes, I did. However, I did intervene."

"You did? Did the fight stop?"

"Unfortunately, I came a bit too late, or noticed it a bit too late, but when I did intervene, the boys were already beaten up. However, there was definitely another person who witnessed the fight, I'm sure of it. They could've intervened and talk it out, but I suppose not."
