Classroom of the Elite Reaction to Checkmate

Second Player (Part 2)

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka POV:

After the screen turn off, a discussion emerge among the girls

"Say... what do you guys think of Ayanokoji-kun?"

Karuizawa proposed a question centering around me.

"Well..he's just...there..not much more to say about him"

A girl with shoulder length brown hair and brown eyes, Mori Nene, express her indifferent opinion on me

"He's pretty gloomy"

"And lonely...."

"He sometimes hangs around with Ike, Yamauachi, Sudo-kun, and others...which to be blunt, is a quite shit group to be associated with..."

"We should maybe change the Three Idiots to the Four Idiots!"

"Eh...look he's dumb...but not that dumb!"

"Huh? You have no right to talk Hakuo-san! His average grade is higher than yours!"

"....Shut it..."

"Basically a background character"

"He's quite a looker, after all he got 5th place in most handsome guys...still not better than Hirata-kun though..."

"Ayanokoji-kun is pretty handsome...if it wasn't for his dull personality...I bet he could rank higher than Hirata (Sorry not sorry Kei-san). If only he could be more expressive...maybe I--"

"Psst...what are you whispering about...Maya-san..?"

"...Nothing important..!"

"Yeahh, I don't really have an opinion on him"

A girl with short brown hair and yellow gradient-violet eyes, Onodera Kayano, inserts her demoralizing opinion on me...

"Ayanokoji-kun doesn't really stand out compared to most of the guys in our class"

Matsushita spoke as well

"But that isn't a bad thing. Compared to most of the guys in our class, Ayanokoji-kun is an outlier. He isn't loud or abrasive nor is he a perv. He seems like an alright guy to me."

Matsushita express her favorable opinion on me

"Agree Chiaki-san! Ayanokoji-kun isn't a bad guy at all! He's just really awkward, and considering what we've learned a bit about his family life, we shouldn't blame him for his flaws."

Kushida positively speaking about me helps the girls who are indifferent or neutral have a somewhat more favorable opinion towards me.

"Also, in efforts of helping our class, Ayanokoji-kun assisted Horikita-san, who helped tutor Sudo-kun, Yamauchi-kun, and Ike-kun for the Midterms. Also he was a representative with Horikita-san for the Class D and C trial. Ayanokoji-kun has consistently supported our class in striving towards achieving Class A!"

Kushida was effortlessly controlling the conservation in favor of making me be perceived as a good guy to the girls. She also downplayed her efforts in assisting in the Midterms/Trials by refraining from inserting herself into the conversation.

"That is true..."

"Im ashamed to forgotten his presence in those situations"

"He's done more for the class than me..."

"I always thought Ayanokoji-kun and Horikita-san were dating from the beginning of the school year..."

"Right? They sit together and sometimes go to the same places together!"
