Kiyotaka: Class A and C have both solidified their lead.

Hirata: I need an explanation from you President. How did you prevent Ryuen's expulsion? How come Yahiko and Manabe were expelled? I don't understand any of this.

The class stirs a bit.

Kiyotaka: Yahiko was expelled because Sakayanagi made him the leader in the exam and then expelled him. When it comes to saving Ryuen I convinced our classmate who would give him a question to go easy on him. I then also talked to Ichinose setting up the exchange between them of points for an easy question. Meanwhile From Sakayanagi's class. I had no influence over that question.

Hirata: And what of Manabe?

Kiyotaka: I was given the chance to give her a question. Since she's a member of any opposing class I chose to give her a question she wouldn't be able to answer.

Hirata: I see

The Class looked at Kiyotaka having seen more of his skill.

Shinohara: You're really good at manipulating the scene huh President.

Kiyotaka: I suppose so. I was the kind of child that never got what he wanted. So I had to develop this skill.

Ike: Harsh man.

Kiyotaka- Ike Kanji. I viewed his test results. They've improved. The question wasn't too hard. From the level of the question, a normal person would expect a 57 from him. I was expecting a 54-60 from him.

Ike looks at Shinohara and smirks.

Kiyotaka- Have they been studying together? her grades have improved as well but not to the same degree.

Kiyotaka: Ike. Shinohara. Are you two perhaps dating?

They both blush and shout at the same time.

Ike: Hell no! I'd never date her.

Shinohara: As if. I like more high-quality men. Someone like you President.

Kiyotaka: I see.

Suzune is intensely displeased by this. Kiyotaka however also catches that Ike is also displeased at her statement.

Suzune found herself staring at Kiyotaka.

Suzune- That day. I shouldn't have been so quick to... argh. How do I fix this? Can I fix this? I... What do I do? Wait... Do I love Kiyotaka? Oh no. I'm panicking even more now. Calm down. Calm down. Breathe Suzune. Breathe.

Kiyotaka left the room.
