Classroom of the Elite: Crimson Usurper (Volume 4)

Chapter 2.2

"MY group was allowed to do whatever they wanted, well, because Class A didn't agree to talk." I was casually talking with Ayanokouji after I waited for Yamauchi to leave.

"Same. What did Yamauchi talk about, by the way?"

"About Sakura."

"Ah." Unsurprised in all honesty.

"But also, he claimed being extremely bored about the fact that his group didn't talk at all, pure silence. Speaking of which," He turned his head to me while we were walking. "You're in his group, right?"

"Indeed."

"I pity you." He shook his head. "At least they didn't find out who was the VIP." He most likely said that in case anyone was eavesdropping on us.

"Yeah, that would've been a real pity." I'm more or less in a decent situation. I could achieve Outcome 2 if I'm not found out, however that'll only be 500,000 private points to me. I want the class points as well.

"I'm going to do something this exam."

"Will you now?"

"You already know my abilities and more people will take notice of it sooner or later." I just need to hide it from Ryuen for the meantime... "I figure you have something planned out?"

"Mhm."

"Does it include me?"

"... Mhm."

Sighing, I turned around to him. "Hey, I know we have this 'alliance' and all but I'm not planning on helping you every time."

"What if I'm threaten to be expelled."

"I'll help you then." I wouldn't want to since you can probably save yourself from expulsion.

"I see. Well in that case, want me to fill in some of the plan I've constructed?"

"Hm? No just tell me when I'm needed."

"Alright then."

"Well, I'm going, bye dude." I cracked a smile to him and began walking towards my room.

...

"Are you alright?"

"What?" I barely heard him since I was already far away from him.

"No... forget it. I'll see you tomorrow."

I opened the door to see Yamauchi and Ike currently conversing. Their TV was paused at a racing game, Ike seemingly winning by a couple of points.

"So... in other words, your group is trash?" Ike asked.

"Yup, we didn't even talk."

"I mean, you agreed to it."

"I was stuck with some mobile games; I was that bored! I regret it!"

"Tough luck. Your group couldn't talk, you have some dude named Ishizaki, Class A didn't want to participate, you don't know who the VIP is and Shin..." He looked up to me and lowered his eyebrows. "...jiro."

"I'm going to sleep so don't worry about me."

"Already? I've seen you sleep at least 3 times today..." Yamauchi stated.

"Problem?"

"Eh? Nah, more like I'm surprised. I'm not complaining though, at least it'll seem like you're non-existent."

"Thanks." I went to the restroom and changed from my uniform to my casual clothes. Then I drank some water before going to sleep on my bed.
