Classroom of the Elite: Elite Challenge

Volume 2 Chapter 3

Ryusei POV

I accompanied Horikita and Ayanokouji to where Horikita intended to take us and guess what... we went to the building where there was the Sudo fight with the students from class C, as soon as we entered the building I followed Horikita to the hallway where the Sudo fight took place, the same hallway I noticed was the only one without a security camera.

Ayanokouji: Man, it's hot

Ayanokouji was complaining about how hot this hallway was, which I agree, the other day I didn't notice it was hot in here, I think it's because it wasn't that hot the other day.

Horikita: Sorry for bringing you here.

Horikita said this while looking around the corridor, probably looking to see if there was a camera, which there wasn't as she had already seen about it before.

Ryusei: If you're looking to see if there's a camera, I'm sorry to inform you that unfortunately there isn't.

When saying this, Horikita looks at me.

Horikita: I already noticed that, but what about you? You've already come here before to see about the cameras, right?

Ryusei: Yes.

I simply state it, seeing no reason to deny it.

Horikita: Then why didn't you tell us about this before?

Ryusei: The last thing we need is more bad news about this whole issue.

Ayanokouji: First of all, does the school usually have cameras in the hallways?

Ayanokouji asks both of us this question.

Ryusei: I can't say that all schools have this, but there are schools that have cameras in the hallways.

Ayanokouji: I mean, they probably wouldn't be in the bathrooms or changing rooms, right?

Horikita: Yes, probably not.

Clearly this would not happen, this would be a serious violation of student privacy.

Horikita: It's not something to be sad about now. If there were cameras, the school would have checked first and this wouldn't have been a problem

As soon as horikita said that, for a short period of time, we wandered aimlessly without doing anything.

Horikita: Have you guys thought of a plan to save Sudou-kun?

Horikita asks me and ayanokouji.

Ayanokouji: Of course not. It's your job to come up with a plan. I won't ask you to save Sudou, but it would be nice if you could point us in the right direction.

Ryusei: I'm still thinking about what to do.

Ayanokouji: Do you want me to help? Right now?

Horikita: The witness doesn't really help the situation because she's in class D. I think it's better to look for something else.

She's right the fact that the only witness to this incident is Sakura who is our classmate doesn't make things any better.

Horikita: There are many unpleasant things about Sudou. However, I want him to bear less responsibility for the incident. Having a few points left is the best possible outcome, even if it is a loss if the Class D impression worsens.

She seems to be being honest with her words.

Horikita: As I said before, unless a perfect witness appears, it will be impossible to prove that Sudou-kun is innocent. Well, that might happen if Class C admits that they lied. Do you think this will happen?
