"Hmm so that's how things are going in Class B?" Subaru asked. "I guess it's pretty much the same everywhere. Everyone's panicking about this sudden announcement of ES Academy." He then said with a sigh. "Why is it always so abrupt? I remember the same chaos when ES first established." Souma said.
"I think it's because they tend to push things through while everyone's still in panic. Like a sneak attack you know?" Subaru said. "That might align with the art of war but it is barbaric and underhanded. If they keep that up they'll lose people's trust sooner or later" Souma said with a sigh.
"Most people have already lost faith in ES. I'm not entirely sure though. But still no one can really stand up to ES. They're way too powerful for anyone to fight back alone. I kind of miss the days when we could take on the student council just by trying hard enough." Subaru said.
"Haha. That sulking expression doesn't suit you, Akehoshi-dono. Are you that upset about disagreeing with Hidaka-dono?" Souma asked. "Yeah...I thought we'd always be on the same page after all. But well you're right. Sulking really isn't my style! That's why I'm going around asking people what they think about all this." Subaru said.
"You've changed, Akehoshi-dono." Souma said. "Hm? Really? I feel like I'm still the same." Subaru said. "When you first enrolled in Yumenosaki, no, before the revolution, you revealed a much more reserved and distant side of your character. Even someone as oblivious as me could see you always keep people at distance." Souma said.
"But now here you are, interacting with others without hesitation. I'm just another one of your peers but that's exactly why I enjoy seeing this change in you. I'm an 'aidoru' too you know. It is hard for me to stand by when someone at our school is feeling down, especially when it's you." He then said.
"I see. Uhhh sorry about that I guess?" Subaru said. "Not at all. I just kept feeling conflicted and couldn't let it go. Anyway like I mentioned there's similar chaos in Class B. Oogami-dono is firmly against the concept of ES Academy she Sakuma-dono joined him for the fun of it, the class is divided in the issue." Souma said.
"Even Takasaki-dono is open about how he doesn't like the idea." He added. "I see...I'm surprised Itorin is able to speak up about his opinions. I'm kinda happy. And Gami-san is...yeah typical of someone who plays rock-'n'-roll." Subaru said. "Indeed. It's as if his policy is to oppose anything the higher-ups say." Souma said.
"As usual his reasoning is instinctive and hard to follow so I couldn't quite understand why he was against it." He then said. "But Gami-san's instincts, or gut feelings, are usually spot on though...I'm technically in favor of ES Academy but I'm starting to doubt myself." Subaru said.
"Akehoshi-dono you respect Oogami-dono very much after all." Souma said. "Eh~ Hearing you say 'respect' kind of makes me want to laugh. But yeah Gami-san's the only one who's stayed true to himself since day one. He just kept moving forward without a single doubt while I was busy sulking. That part of him...well I guess it's pretty cool." Subaru said.
"Ah don't tell the person himself this! Gami-san would definitely get all smug about it!" He then said. "Haha. You are not very good at expressing your admiration are you?" Souma asked. Just then someone can be heard running. "....Finish!" Adonis said. "Woah! What's happening?" Subaru asked surprised.
"Ah sorry. I was so focused on running that I didn't notice you." Adonis said. "Nah it's our fault for standing around talking right in the middle of the school grounds." Subaru said. "Yeah I know it's a bit late to bring this up but try not to linger in the schoolyard after school. It gets in the way of club activities, Akehoshi." Adonis said.
"Eh~ Why are you only lecturing me? What about Zakisan?" Subaru asked. "Kanzaki is fine since we asked him to referee our match." Adonis said. "Match?" Subaru asked as he tilts his head. "Yep. Before graduating one of my junior, Tenma, asked me for a serious contest." Adonis said.
"We decided on a long-distance race and I'm giving my all to beat him at something I'm good at." He added. "Wah~ Scary~ Typical sports club vibes!" Subaru said. "Akehoshi-dono you're in a sports club too right? What about your activities?" Souma asked. "The atmosphere at our basketball club is usually pretty relaxed you know~!" Subaru said.
