Dissociative Identity Ayanokouji

Chapter 8: Conflict Arises

The classroom was silent as everyone stared at Ayanokouji even Koenji, who never was interested in class's affairs, raised his eyebrows and gave him a smirk and his attention. No one dared to say anything as Ayanokouji sat down on the teacher's desk and placed his right feet on the desk.

"A round of applause to the dumb fucks that costed me my points." said Ayanokouji, slow-clapping in a sarcastic manner. Ike and Sudou looked down in shame and Yamauchi glared at him.

Socialkouji: My turn.

Normalkouji: It's better than having Violentkouji explain things. He'll probably piss off everyone.

"Let's get to business, shall we?" said Ayanokouji, changing his tone and intimidating demeanor. Everyone stared at the sudden change in Ayanokouji's behavior as he gave them a friendly smile. They were some murmurs about his sudden change.

"I have a deal. Why don't you let me be the leader of Class D?" said Ayanokouji. His sudden proposal seemed to have resonated with his classmates as they gave a mixed expression of surprise, shock, and doubt. They've seen his abilities up close, and some were convinced that he should be the one to lead the class while others were unsure or wanted someone else to the class.

"Ayanokouji-kun... it would be great if you lead our class, but I... don't approve of your methods." said Hirata. It seemed that Hirata is against what Ayanokouji just did, using his own classmates' expulsion and willing to sacrifice his own classmates.

"Hmmm... what don't you approve?" asked Ayanokouji.

"Your handling with our classmates. They are our friends, and they should be protected from expulsion at all cost."

It seemed that Hirata has taken the moral high ground and some of the girl, mostly Hirata's admirers, seemed to have agreed with him.

"I get what you're saying, Hirata. I really do, but I have a question for you: are you willing to do anything for your classmates?" asked Ayanokouji.

"Yes. I'm willing to." said Hirata, immediately.

"I see. Then, what happens if you can't save a classmate? Or should I say you don't have the power to save them."

"It wouldn't come to that. I-I... save them."

"That's an idealist's dream, but that literally happened mere minutes ago, did it not? What would've happened if I didn't have the points? We would've been missing 3 classmates."

Hirata fell into silence as everyone realized what Ayanokouji meant. Sudou's, Yamauchi's, and Ike's faces turned pale as they realized how close they were to being expelled from the school and if it haven't been Ayanokouji's interference, they would've been on their way out of the school already.

"A leader should be someone that's willing to protect their classmates, but also should be able to accept the inevitable and the worse. Sometimes there's no other choice than the hard choice." said Ayanokouji. "Would you be able to make that choice?"

Hirata hesitated and it seemed that he was trying to deny and dodge Ayanokouji's question by pretending that it doesn't exist or that the hard choice will ever be presented to him. The girls led by Karuizawa leapt to Hirata's defense.

"Hirata-kun wouldn't do it!"

"Yeah! It wouldn't come to do that!"

"Who are you to say that?!"

"That's exactly my point. Who's going to do it? This school is something interesting from your usual school and expulsion is a part of the school. We don't have enough information to prevent one's expulsion. I only got lucky that I was able to the save Sudou, Ike, and Yamauchi. What stops the school from expelling another person from Class D?" said Ayanokouji. With that, everyone fell into silence and Ayanokouji's point seemed reasonable and seemed to have resonated with people. Socialkouji had an immense positive effect during social situations and his explanation and words seemed to have got some of their classmates thinking. Socialkouji's words are quite good and he was able to converse freely without any of Normalkouji's and Masterpiecekouji's inabilities to socialize. Of course, Socialkouji's popularity is not as high as Hirata's in Class D, but he managed to gain a decent foothold after the first month. He tried to speak to them from an objective perspective and spoke in a manner that everyone could understand. He changed his tone to concern to highlight the fact that expulsion is always a possibility for every student and that having a leader is necessary which also made Ayanokouji sounded sympathetic and nervous about it. Socialkouji always have a knack for social interactions, reading the mood of the room, and using to his fullest advantage.
