Classroom Of The Elite : { Necrotic }

Arc 1 : [ Safe Zone ] Epilogue

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's Point Of View

The noises of the birds chirping outside entered my ears, my eyes opening to respond to my consciousness returning. Opening my eyes, I was met with the ceiling of my room, specifically my bedroom, by my estimate.

My upper body slowly raised itself up along with my blanket, the colors of my room becoming fully visible to my vision while I touched my head that now held bandages around it. I turned to the sound of the chirping, staring out of the window, noticing the beautiful rays of the morning sun.

Did I die...? No... I wonder how long I've been out... I hope it hasn't been too long... I still have to empty out these premises...

Movment was noticed around my leg area, making me turn to the figure, spotting Ichinose asleep on my leg.

She must've been here... waiting for me to wake up...

I began to scan the room for a bit, finally noticing Sakayanagi sitting on a chair around me as well, smugly smiling at me, waiting for me to notice her prescene. We stared at each other for a handful of seconds, refusing to break eye contact.

Has she... been watching me sleep...?

"I'm assuming you want me to explain the current situation, isn't that right, Ayanokoji-kun?" She broke the silence.

I nodded. She began explaining the events that happened after I was knocked out, from the moment I fell to the moment I was put to bed.

My head fell right into Ichinose's arms after I lost consciousness, making her hold onto me while she yelled for help. The group quickly surrounded her and retreated while holding the rest of the zombies off as we retreated back up the apartments.

After I destroyed Nagumo's brain, snuffing his life out permanently, the control he held over his army was lost. Unfortunately, that wasn't the end of our troubles.

Despite our effort to kill more than half of his army with our traps, what was left was still far too much for us to handle, even with our numbers. And with Koenji quickly disappearing after Nagumo's death, they couldn't rely on any more gadgets.

I can still faintly hear his bellowing laughter lingering in my head...

They quickly carried me up to my room, rummaging through our randomly placed loot to look for medical equipment. Sakayanagi amusingly explained how panicked my group looked while looking through everything.

After laying me on the couch, they began patching up my injury on my head, putting the bandages I noticed around my head. Before they decided to lay me on my bed in my room here, Kiryuin suggested we change my clothes.

Of course, she'd suggest that...

Ryuuen quickly agreed with the idea, helping her convince everyone to do the same. Luckily for me, Manabu, who I could trust for such a situation, took on the mantel himself, disappointing Ryuuen and Kiryuin.

If Ryuuen got me in such a vulnerable position... he'd definitely take pictures to use as blackmail... as for Kiryuin... I don't even want to imagine what she'd do after how she's been acting around me...

"If it weren't for my weak body, I would've happily changed your clothes for you... haahhh... how disappointing... fufufu." She wiped away fake tears.

Maybe...

As for Ichinose, she's been here since yesterday as I've skipped only a day, thankfully. Sakayanagi mentioned that Ichinose blamed herself for what happened to me, believing that if it weren't for her, I wouldn't have had to jump in and get hurt.
