Classroom of the elite (Reaction)

Part 22: A lesson for bullies.

With the onset of noon, the entire composition of the sixth group gathered in a restaurant located in the complex of the ski resort. It was arranged according to the principle of a food court, so everyone made an order where he likes, and after that we gathered at one table.

They handed me a transmitter with "No. 32" written on it and told me to pick up my order when the ready signal sounded.

— Well, did you manage to master skiing? — Kushida, who went to the track for advanced, asked about the results of the four who went to the track for beginners.

— More or less. However, I'm still a long way from Nishino and Amikura, -  Watanabe modestly informed about a small but confident growth.

Meanwhile, Yamamura, whose name was not mentioned, sat with a drooping face and depressed mood. Although she's like this all the time.

"Well, she's always like that. Although not. She's even more depressed now," Nishikawa said.

"I just don't know how to ski. That's it," Yamamura replied.

- Yamamura has... well, she still has a long way to go,-  Watanabe informed me in my ear about the lack of any progress on her part.

The atmosphere around her clearly indicated that it was better not to address her, so I decided to keep silent.

After a while, the signal of the transmitter sounded, and I went to get my lunch. Then he returned to our table, carrying a tray of hot curry soup.

When everyone brought their own lunch, we started eating.

Ryuen, who took a light snack in the form of a hamburger, finished his lunch the fastest and pushed his tray with a wrapper to Watanabe. Watanabe placed the trays on top of each other with a tight smile.

— Let's go out, Ayanokoji.

— Eh?.. But I haven't finished yet.

"Oh, that's interesting," Ryuen said.

"Hmm, another conversation with Ayanokoji-kun? I wonder what you want to talk to him about?" Sakayanagi asked.

There was about a third of the soup in the plate. And if you leave it now, it will just cool down.

— Move it.

Watanabe looked at me sympathetically, but in silence. And Quito... he never looked in my direction at all.

— I'm going away for a while.

— good. We'll be waiting for you at the table.

Leaving Kushida in charge, I followed Ryuen around the food court. He stopped when he walked to the other end of the room, and then took out his phone. He ran his finger, removing the lock, and began to examine the contents of the screen.

— I knew it. This is to be expected from Sakayanagi, she uses her blockheads to gather information.

Apparently, he learned about this from reports received from classmates.

— In this you are similar.

I wasn't directly interested, but I assumed that Ryuuen had given exactly the same orders.

— There is such a thing. This trip is not necessary at all in order to build friendly relations. If you want to take someone's head off, first of all you need to deprive them of their arms and legs. And Sakayanagi understands this perfectly.

"It's certainly good that you've discovered that you and others are being watched. But why did you call that bastard?" Ibuki asked.

After all, neither Ryuen nor Sakayanagi can fight battles between classes by themselves. Victory is determined through team battles. It is also important not only to develop the abilities of your comrades, but also to reduce the strength of your opponent.
