Today is already mid-December, the air is getting colder as a sign that winter has come. Some places around the school may also be covered with snow in few days.

Ayanokouji entered the classroom, there were more than ten people in there. Drawing closer to his seat, he turned to Horikita who was writing something down in her notebook. He glanced at the contents of the book.

Class Point after Paper Shuffle

•Class A 1124 CP +100 (won in Paper Shuffle) = 1224 Class Points

•Class B 803 CP - 100 (lost in Papper Shuffle) = 703 Class Points

•Class C 492 CP - 100 (lost in Paper Shuffle) = 392 Class Points

•Class D 413 CP + 100 (won in Papper Shuffle) = 513 Class Points

He could catch a glimpse of the book page. Horikita must be internally satisfied with the results of the Papper Shuffle. Their class will probably move up to Class C after the winter break.

"You look satisfied," he said as he sat down.

The black haired girl turned her head then nodded. "Our Class Points are increasing, slowly I can feel this class getting stronger. Anyway, there's something I want to talk about."

"What?"

"Thank you for saving me again in the gamble between me and Kushida. Otherwise ... I might not be able to sit in here anymore."

"Ryuuen told you?"

"He implicitly told me. What did you give in return?"

"I'm sure he told you that as well."

Horikita closed her notebook and took a book that will be their first subject this morning. After that, she said, "Private points and you said you'd show yourself."

"That's right, I guess I can't hide myself any longer. He already suspected me too."

"But ... will that be okay for you?"

"Are you worried that something bad will happen to me later?"

She didn't answer. After all, dealing with Ryuuen must have something to do with violence. She had no idea whether Ayanokouji could fight Ryuuen or not, but she thought it wouldn't be a good thing if she just kept quiet.

Seeing that his seatmate didn't answer, Ayanokouji's eyes fell on Karuizawa. The last order was able to be carried out by the girl, but failed due to Horikita.

'Maybe I have to do something so I can fully use her,' he thought without taking his eyes off the blonde girl who was busy talking to her friend.

"If you look at her too long, you might fall in love later."

He turned to the girl who had just teased him. Sensing something unreasonable with what she had said earlier, he replied, "It's so illogical that just by looking then you could fall in love, if that's true, shouldn't I be falling in love with you?"

"Shut up, you idiot."

He could see how Horikita averted her eyes from him, the girl's face blushed slightly. Feeling he had just said something strange, he chose to change the topic.

"Looks like I have to make her really obey me, my last order failing because she also listened to your orders."

Horikita understood where her seatmate was talking to, looking down at her desk, she said, "I told you, I'll still try to get Kushida-san on our side."

"I'm looking forward to it."

"Speaking of which, how did you manage to make Karuizawa-san completely obey you? Do you mean ...." Horikita didn't finish her sentence. She was reminded of the way Ayanokouji made Karuizawa willingly became his tool.
