OUR classroom door swung open, and Ryuuen and his fellow Class D students strode inside. The entire class immediately erupted into chaos.

Chabashira glanced at Ryuuen and the others but left without a word. It would've been one thing if a fight were to break out right here, but there was nothing rule-breaking with students from another class coming to visit other classes.

Horikita, who was packing up her things to leave, stopped and stared at the Class D group consisting of Ryuuen, Ishizaki, and Yamada Albert. 2 other Class D students, Hidetoshi and Nomura, were also present.

"Hey, what's goin' on? This is Class C." Sudou was the first to react.

He stood and approached Ryuuen; Hirata naturally panicked and hurried to stand between them, probably afraid that they were about to get violent.

"Do you have some business with our class, Ryuuen-kun?" Hirata asked.

In response, Ryuuen exaggeratedly raised his hands. "Is there any reason I can't visit my classmates? That does happen at this school, doesn't it? Visiting a pal. Why're you all shaking?"

"That's normally true, yes. But this school isn't normal, is it? Besides, you've never visited our class before."

"We've been too estranged. I thought we should be a little more assertive about buddying up." said Ryuuen. He placed his hand on Maezono's desk, showing off his white teeth in a grin.

"Man, you guys really had us by the throats in the Paper Shuffle. We likely won here so you guys better not slack up. Almost as if someone in your class helped us," he sneered.

"Someone... helped your class? Are you implying we have a traitor?" Hirata asked.

"Maybe, maybe not." 

Murmurs started spreading around. A traitor indirectly or directly helping Ryuuen was not a good look in their heads. Horikita herself turned to Kushida but Kushida had a concerned expression.

"I'm going to give you a good, hardened warning, Class C."

"Warning?"

"I have no intention of explaining things to an idiot. Or are you just pretending not to understand?"

Ryuuen scanned the entire classroom, trying to figure out any suspicious reactions.

Ultimately, his gaze landed on an enigma. The individual in question didn't even realize Ryuuen was staring at him, or he was too self-absorbed with himself. Regardless he got up to head back to the dorms.

Koenji nonchalantly left the classroom, unaffected by Ryuuen's presence. Ryuuen gave a quiet chuckle.

"Let's head on out."

They left immediately, and as the door closed behind them, the tension in our classroom dissipated at once and was replaced by an uproar.

"Hey, hey, that Ryuuen dude looked like he was gonna do something crazy! This is unreal!" Ike exclaimed.

"They're plannin' to do something to Koenji," said Yamauchi. "Right?"

"That's the only logical conclusion," Miyamoto agreed.

"Professor, what will we do!?" Hondo looked on over to Sotomura, who pushed his flashy glasses up.

"Alas... I have absolutely no idea. Perhaps, they think he's the supposed mastermind. Perhaps! Perhaps!"

"They're going to jump Koenji!?"

"Where... did you get that from?"

Like a wildfire, conspiracy theories flew every which way, starting with Ike and Yamauchi of course.
