Reincarnated into Classroom of TheReader Elite: Cote x

Club

"Wow, it's bigger than I thought it'd be."

Me, Ayanokoji, and Horikita met after school to go to the gymnasium.

Almost everyone there was the first year; around 100 people were waiting nearby.

As we entered the gym, pamphlets with details about club activities were passed out.

"I wonder if this school has a particularly famous club. For example... something like a karate club?", Ayanokoji asked particularly no one.

To which Horkita replied in an emotionless voice, "A lot of clubs here seem to be high-leveled. There are a lot of members in a lot of clubs that are nationally known."

"The facilities are also high quality. Look, they even have oxygen capsules. All the equipment put pro's equipment to shame. Ah, but it looks like they don't have a karate club."

"... I see."

"Why, are you interested in karate?"

"No, not particularly."

"But you know, it looks like an inexperienced person will have a hard time joining a sports club. Even if someone made their high school debut, they would be a substitute for an eternity. I don't think it would be fun."

"Isn't that dependent on the effort they put in? After 1 to 2 years of training, anyone can become good."

"I didn't think that the word 'training' existed for people who avoid trouble like you."

Here comes the Horikita roast.

"What does avoiding trouble have to do anything with this?"

"Doesn't someone who avoids trouble also avoids any sort of manual labor? If you've declared that you avoid trouble, you should stick to your word until the very end."

"I don't take it that far..."

"If you're always noncommittal like that, you're never going to make friends."

"Your words wound my heart."

It seems they have forgotten I exist...    {A/n: My friends be like :}

"Thank you for waiting, first-year students. A representative from each club will explain their activities and how to join. I am Tachibana, the secretary of the student council and the chairman responsible for this club fair. Nice to meet you." 

After the greeting from Tachibana, the club representatives lined up on the stage of the gym.

There were various representatives, ranging from those wearing judo uniforms to beautiful kimonos.

"Hey, if you ever change your mind, try joining a sports club. Doesn't that judo club look good? That senpai looks nice and encouraging."

"What part of him looks nice and encouraging? That gorilla looks like he could kill someone at any time."

"He'd probably preach to you that judo is an easy sport."

"Just stop!"

Ayanokoji, failing to bring conservation with Horkita to a fair end, turned to me.....Finally, do you remember I exist? Huh? Am I the second option?

I gave him an 'I dare you to talk to me, commoner'  look.

Which, Ayanokoji made a frightened expression(well, that's my imagination as he always looks emotionless).

Ayanokoji once again decided It is better to talk to Horikita than me...

'Making this expression is harder than I thought '

"Even if that was the case, the sports clubs clearly don't welcome any beginners, looking at how they're showing off."

"They should be welcomed. The more the people they get, the more money the school gives them and so they'd be able to get more equipment."

"That's just using new members as a way to get money..."

"It'd be ideal to recruit a lot of new members, increase the budget, then get them to become ghost members. You need to be able to skillfully manipulate the rules in the world."

"What a bad world... Your way of thinking is certainly strange."

"My name is Hashigaki, and I'm the captain of the archery club. I think there are a lot of students who find it old-fashioned and simple, but it is a really fun and fulfilling sport. We give all new students a warm welcome, so if you're interested, please join."

A girl wearing archery clothes started her introduction on the stage.

"Look, they seem to welcome beginners. How about you try joining? To make their budget bigger."

"Joining a club for that reason is a definite no! Also, a sports club is a meeting place for riajuus. Without knowing anyone, it wouldn't be fun at all and I'd probably leave in an instant."

"Isn't that way of thinking a result of your twisted personality?"

"Yup, absolutely. A sports club is definitely impossible."

Right now, I am searching for that loli. Or should I say class- A leader?

It is possible that she did not come because of her injury but if she did then, "lucky me". I don't want Ayanokoji to notice my moves, It will only create tension.

My attention was grabbed by another voice, "Oh, Ayanokouji-kun. You also came?". It was of Sudou. 

Sudou with  Ike and Yamauchi called out Ayanokoji.

"What is this, three people? Seems like you guys are getting along."

"Are you also thinking of joining a club?"

"No, I was just looking. Does that mean you were thinking of joining a club then?"

"Yea. I've been playing basketball since elementary school. I think I'll continue here too."

"How about you two?"

Ayanokoji asked  Ike and Yamauchi.

"We just came because it seemed fun and exciting. I also hoped some kind of fateful encounter would happen."

"The hell, what do you mean by a fateful encounter?"

"My first objective is to make a girlfriend. So, I was hoping that a fateful encounter would happen here."

This time, I peeked from behind Ayanokji.

Sudou, Ike, and Yamauchi were a little surprised.

after that, their shocked expression changes to glare, toward Ayanokoji, Of course.

Ike put his hands around Ayanokji as if there are really close friends.

"Hello there, Raphael-san!"

"Sup, Ike-kun, sudou-kun and Yamauchi-kun".

hmm...This might cause trouble.
