The Impact system In the classroom of the elite

chapter-14 Tricking system

-

I smirked a bit. After all, I was going to trick the system.

I looked at Horikita. "I have already saved Sudo. Don't worry."

"W-what? You said you wouldn't be able to hel—" Before she could continue, I interrupted.

"I was just messing around. I just wanted to see your reaction, that's all. Go tell the class that Sudo is safe and announce it just like I told you."

"But—"

"Nope, just do as I say," my voice turned cold, causing Horikita to flinch.

I looked at the message.

It wasn't from Yuu or Nagi. It was from someone nobody would have expected.

{Done} sent by Ayanokoji.

Flashback:

I looked around, waiting for a certain someone. He was supposed to be here at any time.

"Why did you call me, Tatsuya?" asked a certain expressionless guy.

"Yeah, can I ask you something?"

"What is it?"

It was time to fully set the plan in motion.

"Does the term 'Whiteroom' mean something to you?"

"..."

It's not an exaggeration—his usually empty eyes were instantly replaced by darkness.

"Where did you get that name?"

"Do you want to know about it?"

There's no need to consider it; after all, there's always a side of humans that is just too readable.

"Do you know who I am?" he calmly asked.

"Yes."

"Do you know what I am capable of?"

"Yes."

"Then tell me, who sent you here?"

Honestly, I could lie here, but...

"If you want me to answer that question, then I have to disappoint you. However, I wasn't sent here 'by that man,' nor was I sent here to extract you back to the Whiteroom."

"Why are you telling me this?"

"It's simple. For now, we are allies because..." I whispered something into Ayanokoji's ear.

He was honestly surprised.

"How did you get that information?" he asked.

"Let's just say I have my ways."

"How do I know the information isn't false?"

"Listen, it's completely up to you whether to believe me or not."

Flashback ended.

"Cheers!" Ike shouted joyfully, toasting a can of juice.

All of us gathered in Ayanokoji's room. They were all overjoyed that no one had been expelled. Everyone smiled—well, except for me, Ayanokoji, and Horikita.

"I honestly don't mind that you guys are holding a celebration party, but why in my room?"

"Mine's a mess, so are Sudo's and Yamauchi's. And we can't go into a girl's room. I mean, I would love to go into Kushida-chan's room. But yours is particularly plain, and an empty room is the best option."
