Classroom of the Elite: Crimson Usurper (Volume 2)

Chapter 3.1

AFTER school we resumed the search for a witness. I was stationed with some people I wasn't particularly close with.

Karuizawa, Okitani, Miyake, Okiya, Machida and Sonoda. I looked at Yamauchi and Ike, even though they were perverts, were conversing with Kushida.

Monsters. Absolute psychopaths. How I fell off greatly and instead of my body, my social skills were declared dead on the sidewalk.

In this investigation, we sought not just names, but also contact information. Perhaps they felt compelled to give Karuizawa their information because of she's a girl? No... that's probably sexist. Who am I kidding, that is sexist.

Though Karuizawa and the others spent a good amount of time going to most second-year classrooms and talking to upperclassmen, they didn't turn up any good leads.

"Looks like we didn't have any luck today, either."

Karuizawa plopped to the floor, hey...hey...

"I can see your underwear, cover it up before I throw up."

She shot me a look that of disgust.

"Disgusting freak!"

"I'm sorry."

Seeing as I probably went too far, I looked away as she stood up.

"... Also, I have a boyfriend. Pervert!"

"Huh? What's this? Is she stereotypically playing the bitchy girl in those famous Hollywood movies to cheer Shinjiro up?" Okiya asked Machida, who shrugged.

"Man, I don't know dude. I just want some cake."

"Wait! What if Karuizawa was secretly cheating on Hirata with Shinjiro? A NTR in the making!? Die Shinjiro! Die!"

What? What did I do?

"Huh? Who invited you into the conversation?" Karuizawa looked at him aggressively.

"Nooo! A 2-pack combo!"

Okiya fell to the floor and slammed his fist on the ground... rather softly. He was scared in case he hurt his hand. Machida only looked at him with confusion.

He's probably wondering, 'Does he unironically acting like this? Or is it part of the facade?'

I noticed Sonoda looking at Karuizawa, it looked as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

"Um... Karuizawa-san..." she finally muttered out.

"Yes, Sonoda-san?" Karuizawa glanced at her.

"We still haven't gone to Class 2-B."

"Ah... Ah! You're right!" Karuizawa nodded. "Let's go there now. "

We swiftly went to the second year's area and were not near Class 2-B.

"Shit..." This was Nagumo's class. I looked through the windows and saw everyone there looking at us all but one person.

"Okay! Let's get to work!"

Karuizawa dramatically stepped her foot onto the ground and started walking before I caught hold of her collar.

"Hold on."

"Yack-!" She stumbled a bit backwards and started coughing. What a load of this? Fake coughs? "What gives?"

"This class belongs to the current vice president of the student council."

"Um...?" Karuizawa looked at me quizzed. "Don't recall?"

"Nagumo Miyabi. He's well respected by the current student council president and is in Class 2-B. The class we're about to enter now." Miyake informed us.
