Classroom of the Elite - Revenge [Cote X OC]

Vol. 5 Chapter 15: Hiyori Shiina

[9th February, Tuesday]

[Kurushima Pov]

I woke up earlier than expected today.

Perhaps, I wanted to see first hand his facial expression, his troubled face, knowing what the implications of Kushida's statement and his act was, so I was excited to stand up sooner.

That might be it.

But truthfully, there was still something he didn't quite understand and I was excited when he would come to realize it.

He might think nothing will happen aside from his reputation, since this is not sufficient evidence to expel him.

But soon, he'll be meet with another quick surprise.

I'm basically "forcing" the school to expel him, because of my "case" as well.

Well, spilling the fun at once is no fun at all, so I'll wait till he comes to the fruitful realization and tells his dear father everything about me.

I'm not afraid of his father anymore, so why should I act like that, then?

I spent too much thoughts and time with that and what dangers would await me, but ever since my last conversation with her I was more resolved than ever.

Because I knew. . . It was over with us for good, I was able to confront him more confidently.

He'll pay for everything he has done.

And for that, I want to look at him, and tell everything I want to say to his face.

I won't hide myself any longer from him.

I did that far too long.

No more fear of Chairman Sakayanagi spilling the beans or anything else.

I will face him face-to-face.

"It's quite a long time since I felt this confident. . ."

I muttered deep beneath my breath knowing that I was doing things for the better or worse.

But even without my inheritance, I was not a pushover.

I prepared myself years for this, so even without my soon-to-be entire wealth, I would not lack in comparison to a powerful, affluent foe.

Aoki and I invested the rest amounts of the monthly allowance in stocks early on, which should be around 40-45 Billion Yens of a total worth. It was a custodial account he created under my name, as my legal guardian.

Although, I had no intention of touching that one, for now. Until I come out of age, I would not touch anything there.

However, I had another huge account, with a huge amount of money, coming from the dividends once a year. But the access we were granted on that sum was relatively small and quickly invested. . .

Also. . . I had an enormously large debt not many people really knew of. I faced an inheritance tax of 55% when my parents died. . . So it was quite a struggle back then.

I didn't want to sell my shares, but realistically, I had to sell 16% immediately to cover the entire inheritance tax just for the shares I inherited. The longer it took the more of them would I lose in the end since the prices were falling down fast.

I hated that kind of solution no matter how long I thought until I thought of another one. The financial advisors and even Aoki were surprised back then, with most of the advisors against it, but it had been personally the best solution for me.

I knew the risks very well, but I didn't want to sell the shares no matter what would happen and see the company going down or affect my parents legacy, so I took a tremendously large loan!
