Chapter 18 | | The Prelude To Chaos (with a lil cleansing ;))

"The Event Selection Exam. I want Class A and C to let me attack Class B." I said, looking at the two leaders in front of me to which one had a smirk on their face (Ryuuen) and the other a devious smile (Sakayangi).

"And why's that lover boy?" Sakayangi asked, I ignored the nick name that she unfortunately gave me.

"Kukuku, has power of friendship girl finally changed her naive outlook? What's she done to make you pissed off? I need some suggestions kukuku." Ryuuen laughed.

"She made Suzune suffer and I intend to make her suffer a thousand times more." I simply said, my face resting in my palm as I took a sip from my small apple juice carton.

"Hm? So all I need to do is push around Suzune and then I can get a reaction out of you?" I don't recall Suzune ever giving him permission to use her first name. It's unsettling.

"Ryuuen. I don't recommend touching Suzune, it will not end well for you." I stared blankly at him which only caused his smirk to widen.

"You owe me a chess match, I have arrangements that I've made so I will take my leave. I look forward to watching Class B crumble." Sakayangi said before getting up, Kamuro following behind her like an obedient dog, "I also look forward to our bout Dragon-boy." She quickly left, as did Ryuuen.

Hand in hand, Suzune and I walked through the corridor towards our class, glanced immediately being thrown our way with whispers to do with the name 'Ichinose' included.

"Apparently Ichinose and Ayanokoji—"

"Woah, what the hell is Ayanokoji—"

We entered our class and the attention was instantaneously diverted towards us, "Good morning." I greeted, Suzune also offering a good morning to everyone as we walked towards our desks.

"S-so... is it true?" Someone asked.

"Is what true?" I questioned back, knowing exactly what they were talking about.

"That... you know... you cheated on Horikita-chan with Ichinose-chan?" I snapped my eyes towards the girl who seemed to care more about other people's business than she did her own (Shinohara).

I glanced at Suzune who nodded, giving me the green light to explain the situation which I evidently wasn't going to go into much detail with.

"No, however, the truth is that Class B is changing their ideologies and has attacked our class, aiming to separate Suzune and I to cause a rift between us and in the short term, our class. Of course, as you can see, that did not thankfully happen, and we will undoubtedly be targeting them for the Event Selection Exam to which I have spoken to the other class leaders for, is that understood?" I asked. Everyone nodded in agreement, unknowing of how to respond.

Three knocks were heard at the door and none other than Ichinose Honami appeared, "Kiyotaka-kun, I need some help with the paper work~." She said with an almost too cheerful tone. Silence again took over the room as everyone looked between Suzune, Ichinose and I.

"You're not incompetent, I'm sure you can do it yourself." If Suzune's smile could be bigger, I'm sure it would be as I said what I said.

Ichinose then glanced at the atmosphere in the room, taking deep attention towards Suzune and I and then she pouted, "It seems Class B's attack didn't go as well as I hoped it would." She sighed.
