Classroom of the Elite: I Have the Ability to Read Minds! (COTE)

Chapter 125: Schemes and Counter-Schemes!

Ryuen heard Ishizaki's report through the phone and smiled from inside the Class C classroom. However, the vicious curve of his lips looked rather frightening.

Like Nagumo Miyabi, Ryuen had no intention of personally participating in the operation against Yuto.

The reason was simple-Ryuen had absolutely no desire to be beaten by him again.

Instead, he arranged for Ishizaki, Komiya, and Yamawaki to fight Yuto. All three were trusted subordinates, delinquents, and deeply resentful of the attention Shimizu Yuto had received.

Ryuen did not send Yamada Albert. The powerful mixed-race student was an excellent fighter, but Ryuen needed Ishizaki and the others to be beaten, not someone capable of fighting Yuto evenly.

With a vicious grin, Ryuen issued his order through the phone.

"Ishizaki, Shimizu Yuto has taken the bait, correct? Then follow the plan and teach that bastard a harsh lesson!"

"Yes!"

Ishizaki's expression showed both fear and anticipation. He feared the demon Yuto, but Ryuen had promised that one fight here would guarantee Yuto's expulsion.

Ryuen had not explained the exact reasoning, but his complete confidence made the three instinctively believe him.

Although Ishizaki feared Yuto and regarded him as the legendary demon from the rumors, exchanging one beating for Yuto's expulsion sounded like a worthwhile deal.

He did not want to spend all three years of high school in the same year as this demon.

"Let's go. We'll teach Shimizu Yuto a lesson," Ishizaki told Komiya and Yamawaki.

"Right!"

The two delinquents disliked Yuto just as much, so they followed Ishizaki from their hiding place and approached Yuto, who was sitting on the bench.

From a window in the second-year building, Chabashira narrowed her eyes. She aimed Airi's digital camera at the three boys approaching Yuto and activated its recording function.

'There are three of them. Don't let yourself get hurt, you troublesome boy.'

Ishizaki bent down and picked up a small stone from beside the path. He initially intended to throw it at Yuto himself, but his lingering fear made him push it into Yamawaki's hand instead.

"Hit him with it!"

"Leave it to me, Ishizaki!"

Without thinking much about it, Yamawaki hurled the stone at Yuto.

Yuto appeared unusually fortunate. Just as the stone reached him, he happened to tilt his head, causing it to fly past his ear.

Yuto's expression turned cold as he looked toward the approaching trio. Their malicious faces made it seem as though they were staring at a helpless victim about to be beaten.

"What do you want?" Yuto asked coldly.

"What do we want? Hahaha! Obviously, we're here to beat up an arrogant bastard like you!" Yamawaki laughed loudly.

"Shimizu Yuto, didn't you say in the library that Class D would overtake Class C and send us to the bottom?" Komiya shouted. "Kneel and apologize now, or we'll teach you a proper lesson!"

"That's right! Kneeling is the price you'll pay for offending Class C!" Ishizaki added.

Yuto silently studied the three delinquents. His deep black eyes gave them the inexplicable feeling that everything about them had been exposed and seen through.
