Classroom of the elite:To find you

CHAPTER 9-Setting up the stage

I had recieved 3 messages from 3 different people - Horikita , Airi , Ryuuen.

However the Horikita who had messaged me was not my classmate , but her brother , Horikita Manabu

I had previously acquired his number before he left the campus , incase I required any assistance . Back then I felt that I would not need his assistance at all , and that I could overcome any problem regarding Tsukishiro and the white room enforcer by myself.

However ,
The 20 million point bounty on me makes things a bit difficult. Whoever proposed the offer , probably , also provided legal support. Consider the example of the previous exam . If my partner is a 1st year whose academic ability is evaluated as C . Even if he or she lowers their mark on purpose , there will be people who will vouche for that person with a suitable reason , say high fever or infection of some kind.They will face some penalty , but for 20 million points , its completely worth the risk.

But now the thing is that their secret special exam hasn't ended yet unlike the combined exam , they probably still have the offer available , so I have to be on high alert even before the next exam is announced.

The students who were given the special exam were probably carefully selected , I need to be aware of each and every one of them.

But being a second year myself , I can barely spend time to smoke out these people and find the person who created this special exam.

Regarding this I had previously contacted Horikita senpai about a certain student - Yagami Takuya.

Being an alumnus of the same middle school , the older Horikita was able to request the principal for the student records.

I could now proceed to the next stage.

To confirm few things I headed outside.

---------------
I had returned later than expected , but I had achieved what I wanted for setting up the next stage .

Now,

I decided to reply to Airi.

She had messaged me requesting help for her Club . The thing is she could've asked this in the Ayanokouji group chat , but re reading the careful and odd choice of words in her message , which was sent privately to me , I figured Haruka probably set her up .
Even though she knew Airi had a very thin chance of going out with me , she still chose to cheer her friend on.

Apparently , she had decided to make a collage as her ' intitation project '
and required help to decide what kind of story she could portray .

There is no doubt that this school , even by cutting connections with the outside world , boasts top class facilities
that replicate the world outside.

However in an artist's eyes the buildings and trees are simply not good enough to replace the popular attractions that Japan possess.

She had only requested me for ideas , but to execute my plan I needed to be with her when does her project

<when are you planning on doing the project>

<mostly this Saturday >

< can you make it this Sunday >

< why kiyotaka-kun ? >

< I have an idea and I want to accompany you when you do your project , is it ok with you ?>

<Definitely no problem , I will be very happy if you do so :) " >

The mail Airi and the real Airi always seemed like two different entities
However I have done what I had wanted to do .
