Classroom of the Elite: The 100 Elites Who Really, Really, Really Love Him

Chapter 21: Cruise Ship Harem

"What do you mean?" asked Ayanokouji.

"Don't lie to me. Class D's sudden victory, Class C ending up with zero points, and every other class losing points. The fact that your own classmates had no idea on what happened." said Sakayanagi, counting with her fingers. "That means one thing... somebody played their cards in the right way and succeeded without anyone noticing."

"Of course. It was all Horikita's plan."

"Fufufufu. You're quite amusing, Ayanokouji-kun. Using a sick classmate as a shield and your main strategy."

"All part of Horikita's plan."

"Horikita-san doesn't have the capabilities to come up with a complicated and effective plan as this. However, a certain person does."

"Well to everyone else, it was all Horikita's plan."

"Very well. If you wish to remain hidden for the time being, then so be it. It's been a while hasn't it, Ayanokouji-kun. How I long see you again. Although you have grown the last time I saw you, everything seems to be the same."

"I wish I can say the same to you."

Ayanokouji glanced over at Sakayanagi's petite body and Sakayanagi gave him a cold look as the atmosphere between the two darkened and became much colder.

"Do you mind repeating that again, Ayanokouji-kun?" asked Sakayanagi, with a cold and hard look on her face.

"Ah... it's nothing. It's just an observation." replied Ayanokouji.

"Observation, you say?"

"Yes. You're quite cute and your petite body adds to your unique charm. I didn't say that was a bad thing."

Ayanokouji's comments took Sakayanagi by surprise who didn't expect those kind of compliments from him. She didn't know that Ayanokouji could have a way of words especially in way of flirting and charming with people from the opposite sex. Sakayanagi's face grew a little red before it broke into an amusing smile.

Oops. I think I got into a habit with saying things like that. I suppose being around my various soulmates caused this habit to sprout up. Does this counts as harassment?

"Thank you, Ayanokouji-kun. I don't think I've expected something like that to come out of your mouth. I suppose being surrounded by various girls have an interesting effect on you." said Sakayanagi.

"You noticed?" asked Ayanokouji.

"Of course. Masumi-san reported to me that a certain brown-haired boy was seeing around several female classmates. It looks like you're having some fun, Ayanokouji-kun."

"Coincidences can be freaky. I happen to be the area at the wrong time. Is there anything else you want from me?"

"I'll be frank. I just wanted to see you face to face again. It's been a long time since we chatted face to face."

Ayanokouji and Sakayanagi locked eyes and Ayanokouji looked into her deep violet eyes which sparkled and he was surprised that his soulmates power did not work right there and now. Ayanokouji reminisced about the past and how they met.

**Flashback (about 7 years ago)**

Ayanokouji was sitting alone in a big empty white room all by himself as he sat down in a desk, writing something on the paper. It was the usual test that he had to take and all of the questions on the paper were all too easy for him. He easily wrote down the answers with ease and with no panic on his face as he finished the last problem before placing his pencil down. A buzzer rang out and an instructor approached Ayanokouji and picked up the paper.
