Tensura x COTE: The God and The Genius

Chapter 11 - True Colors

Rimuru Pov

May 1 passed by like a wind. After the teacher revealed to the students about the truth of Class points, everyone stopped talking while in class and being absent. But, there's still some who clearly does not understand or they just don't care.

Hmm. Looks like things are going to be fine now. If hirata keeps helping the class, then maybe we can still improve.

Looking around the room while the teacher was discussing the lessons on the board, I can see that most of my classmates are attentive and paying close attention which was kind of refreshing to be honest.

Fufufu. This is much better.

While I was letting my mind drift away, I remembered my last conversation with Chiyabashira.

*{Ciel. Tell me, Do you think this class can ascend to Class A?}

I asked my most trusted partner about this subject.

{If we're talking about chances, then yes. With you on the class, it is a 100% possible to reach class A. But without needing Master's aid, this class still have a a great chance of success.}

That's true. Even if these students was called defects, this class still have some highly capable individuals besides Kiyo. But the problem lays on motivation.

*{Making myself as some sort of a leader can improve our chances right?}

{Yes. Although it would be totally unfair to the other classes but Master is right.}

Unfair? Yeah I can understand that. I have a supercomputer serving as my mind after all.

*{Don't be like that. I'm not gonna abuse things you know. And besides, it's not like I'm gonna stick to this class until graduation anyway.}

{That is true. After all, if you gain 20 million points you can transfer from a class that you want.}

*{Yeah I know. That's a broken rule isn't it?}

You can buy your way up to higher classes if you have enough points. This school is truly crazy with their rules.

I only found out about this when ciel informed me out of nowhere when I was sitting around the class. It really surprised me at first but judging by the weirdness of this school, I just didn't mind it.

{Master. Regarding about the topic discussed by that teacher, it seems like she's going all out on using him.}

*{Yeah. I'm totally aware of that. Now that she knows about the existence of a genius in her class, I'm hoping that she try manipulating him or something.}

{I don't think that's possible. There's only a small chance of success in that but it is still worth considering.}

*{Right? Who knows, maybe Chiyabashira might come up of something that will persuade Kiyo.}

{I see. So that's why you approached and told her about Ayanakouj?}

*{Yes. Involving the teacher on the fray would be much more fun. And besides, I'm testing on how far kiyo can manage himself with too much hurdles in his way.}

{I don't think it would affect too much. The only problem he would have a hard time dealing with is Master.}

*{Is that so? Then I'm honored to hear that.}

I have Chiyabashira's full trust and there's no way that girl would pass up a chance that she's been longing for in quite awhile. I heard her story from ciel which caught my interest on her.
