Chapter 6 - Class Information - New Secret Weapon
Ayanokoji's Pov:
We were all inside the classroom waiting for the teacher. This was weird, after all, this was the first time she was late. I could see that Victorique, Lelouc and Sora were also a little surprised by this.
Today would be the day that we would take a look at the other Classes, apart from Class A as Light got all the information we needed. And then after a while the door finally opens, me and everyone else turn towards it and see an Ayame-sensei...very happy? Now I'm curious. She always showed a serious look, so that kind of development is quite intriguing.
I could see that Lelouch, Sora and Victorique also thought this. I could see Light raising an eyebrow at that, but nothing like the rest of us.
"You look quite happy Ayame-sensei," I decided to say.
Ayame-sensei turned to me with a...smile? Now I'm really starting to get scared here.
"Well, Ayanokoji-kun, today is a special day. After all, I finally managed to change my core subject," she said. I raised my eyebrows at that. I could see several shocked eyes too.
"What do you mean by that Sensei?" Miyuki asked. Ayame-sensei just looked at her with a smile.
Seriously, who is this woman, and what has she done to Ayame-sensei?
"You see, the subject I was put to teach as a teacher was English, but I never really liked it. So after a few complaints with those damn superiors, I finally managed to convince them to put me in my specific field." She finished with a smile.
Did she call superiors damned? Did I hear you right? Out of the corner of my eye I could see some faces taken aback by this. I don't blame them, in the early days Ayame-sensei showed herself to be a serious woman, when teaching or explaining something. So seeing this new side of her is really interesting.
"You mean you won't be the English teacher anymore right?" Kururugi asked. That's another interesting fact. What is her specific area?
"That's right Kururugi-kun, from now on I'm going to teach science," she said with a big smile as she said the name of the subject. She must really like it. Science huh... that's interesting. But why was she assigned as an English teacher? This is really weird. But even so, I decided not to ask that. My colleagues, too, must have decided the same thing, since they were silent.
The class continued until then it reached the end of the first period, starting lunchtime. My classmates and I gathered in a circle to speak when Ayame-sensei left the classroom.
"Well, Class A has already been taken out of our duties, so only Class B, C and D are left right? I'll be going to Class C with Suzaku, does anyone want to join me?" Lelouch started. Light already brought us the Class A information, so let's go after the others. Normally it would be wise to split into pairs or trios, but that shouldn't matter too much right now.
"I'll go with you," Jabami raised his hand and said. Lelouch nodded and then looked to see if anyone else would want it, and when no one raised their hands he said.
"Okay, me Suzaku and Jabami are going to Class C. So is that the rest?" Lelouch asked.
"I and Shiro will go to Class D. I'm curious about these 'flaws' that talked so much," Sora said.
"In that case, I'll go with you." Ryuzaki spoke. Sora nodded in agreement. And then he looked at Light.
"You come?" he asked.
"I've already given you the Class A information. I'm staying out of it." Light spoke. Well that's true, he's already done his part so he can stay out of it.
"Are you sure you're not just going out on a date with some Plaboy-kun girl?" Sora snapped at him.
"Who knows?" he replied with his usual smile, making Sora even angrier.
"Coming back to the subject, that means Class B will stay with me right?" I said trying to avoid a problematic confrontation.
"Yes, you're right Ayanokoji. And since Victorique and Miyuki haven't raised their arms for the classes we're going to, then I can assume they want to go with you, am I right?" Lelouch spoke smirking at them. Miyuki for some reason turned red and nodded weakly. Does she have a fever?
Victorique on the other hand just stared at Lelouch with eyes that said 'Is there a problem with that? ' to which Lelouch just smiled as if he was mocking her.
"Let's go or else we'll miss lunchtime. Victorique, Miyuki would you accompany me?" I spoke. They look at me a little surprised by my order.
"What do we have here? Are you trying to build a harem Boyfriend-kun?" Lelouch spoke mocking me. I just tilted my head in confusion as Victorique and Miyuki blushed at what he said.
"Harem? What is this?" And the moment I speak I see all eyes turning to me like they're seeing an alien. Did I say something wrong?
"Y-Are you serious Ayanokoji...?" Sora asked completely dumbfounded. I just looked at him in confusion. Which made most look at me even more. I'm starting to get uncomfortable here.
"If I knew I wouldn't be asking right? Is it some kind of accessory?" It was the best clue I could get as everyone seems to know what it is. So it must be something they use every day.
My answer only made them look even more strangely at me. Until Kururugi finally decided to answer me after coming out of his shock. I could see Light's surprised eyes on me from the start as if thinking ' How the hell don't you know what this is? Have you been living in a cave or something all this time?
"Well, Ayanokoji. A harem is-" And when he was about to speak, once again the temperature in the room seemed to have dropped below zero. And unlike last time, everyone knew who it was coming from. And when we looked at her, she was just smiling.
"What were you going to say Kururugi-san? Nobody here is going to tell him what this is, right?" Miyuki spoke in a dangerous way. Seriously, what the hell is this? It's like she has some kind of magic with the ice element . I see Shiro nodding his head in agreement with Miyuki before speaking.
"Protect Ayanokoji's innocence," she said in her usual cute voice.
Now I'm really curious about what a harem is.
Looks like I'll have to ask for Internet-sensei's teachings again.
"No one is going to speak right...?" Miyuki asked with a rather frightening smile.
"Right," most of them replied in a cold sweat.
"So back to the subject, Kiyotaka-san, where do you want to go?" The aura then disappeared completely and the temperature returned to normal receiving sighs of relief from several people.
"I'm going to a store. I want to confirm something," as I say this, I can see some curious looks from Ryuzaki, Lelouch and Sora.
"Confirm something?" Lelouch asked. I nod my head in affirmation.
After that, we all left, with Miyuki and Victorique accompanying me. But I wanted to check out Class D a little bit before we go. Sora, Shiro and Ryuzaki will come here when classes are close to over.
"Wouldn't we go into a store?" Victorique asks me.
"Yeah, but I want to check out Class D a little bit," I replied calmly.
Coming to Class D, I can see. Lots of people having fun and playing a lot making a lot of noise. And one thing caught my attention.
He is a boy of medium height and build. He has short, unruly brownish-brown hair with bangs that reach just below his eyes. Is he napping? How the hell can he get to sleep with all this noise? I don't really know, but he seems to be interesting.
While I was studying him, along with Miyuki and Victorique giving me curious looks, a person approaches.
"Hello, can I help you? My name is Kushida Kikyou nice to meet you." The girl introduces herself with a big smile. She's the same one on the bus. I'm sure Miyuki noticed too.
"Hello Kushida-san, I'm Miyuki, and this is Ayanokoji-san and Victorique-san," Miyuki introduced herself, and we introduced her with the same smile.
"Nice to meet you, Ayanokoji-kun, Victorique-chan," She said. "Do you guys need something in my class?" She asked a question.
This was bad. I spent so much time looking at her class. If I say something weird, it'll sound suspicious. I can see that Victorique and Miyuki are also a little quiet after this question. I decide to take the lead.
"I just came to look at a friend," I say quickly. I can feel Miyuki and Victorique's eyes on me.
"I see, who is it? I can help since I have contact with everyone here." She said. That's bad, if I don't say anyone's name it will look even more suspicious. After thinking for awhile I say the only name that comes to my mind.
"Horikite Suzune," I said. After saying this I can see Kushida's face form a small frown, but as quickly as she came she was gone. Miyuki didn't seem to notice, but I'm sure Victorique did. And then Kushida starts talking in a slightly sad voice.
"I see...this is the only contact number I don't have." she said.
"I see. No need to be sad, I can talk to her another time. We need to go to a store before lunch time is up. So if we leave Kushida." I say as I say goodbye quickly with Miyuki and Victorique following me.
"I hope to see you again! Victorique-chan, Miyuki-chan, Ayanokoji-kun, let's be friends!" Kushida shouts at us waving goodbye. Miyuki just waves back at her screaming that she waits too, and when she's doing that Victorique whispers something to me.
"You noticed too right?" She asked.
"Yes," I reply.
The way Kushida frowned when I mentioned Horikita's name. Some people who noticed might say that she was just annoyed that she couldn't make friends with her. But personally I don't think so. And Victorique certainly doesn't think so either.
The way she acts like she wants to be friends with everyone is weird in itself. Nobody can be perfect that way. After all, almost everyone has a side they don't want anyone to see. And I'm sure this applies to Kushida too. The way she talks, like she depends on making friends with everyone.
It all made me think again about the words my mother had said to me. The same words I gave in answer to Tatsuya, to answer his question.
No matter how radiant the moon is, it will always have a dark side.
Me, Miyuki and Victorique entered a store. I wanted to check this out first, but with everything that happened it wasn't possible.
"What do you want to confirm Kiyotaka-san?" Miyuki asked me. Victorique was also curious about this. I just gestured for them to follow me. In a very small part of the store shelves we found something. Given how well it was hidden, I wouldn't be surprised if I was the first person this year, or even a large part of the entire school, to discover it.
The moment they both realize where I'm looking and pointing, they turn their heads. And then I can see both their eyes widen a lot.
"This..." Victorique began.
"Yes. Now you understand right?" I said.
Miyuki was with surprised eyes for what was being sold in that store. Any normal person would probably be in great shock. After all, this gives a great advantage to the group of those who know this place, if they know how to use the items correctly. The two are looking at the items being sold.

At the moment, the girls and I are now heading back to the class that will start any day now. As we are on our way to the classroom Victorique speaks to me.
"What are you going to do with it?" Victorique asked me. I could see that Miyuki was also curious for the answer.
"Well, I'm not sure. After all, there's no way to know until the situation calls for it. So until then, I won't do anything." I answered honestly. I could see her nodding her head. We walked towards our living room in complete silence. And then we got to it, and we can see that everybody was already in it.
"So, are you back from the date yet?" Light asked with a smile. I sighed. Miyuki again turned red along with an angry Victorique. But before she could speak Sora asked a question.
"So, did you check what you wanted to confirm?" He said. I nodded my head.
"I'll show you when we're alone, after we've gone through the classrooms," I said. I could see several curious eyebrows when I said this. The door opens showing the teacher still happy that her main area has been changed. My classmates and I sat down and waited for class to be close.
These subjects that the teacher is going through, I already know everything. I probably already know anything this school teaches, so I don't bother writing them. I can see that some people seem to be like that too, like for example Victorique. She really looks bored. She always seems to be bored actually. The only time he doesn't show it is when he's talking to people in our class, or when we're discussing something.
When our time finally arrived, everyone got up to go to the respective classes that we were going to observe.
"Where are we going to find it? At karaoke again?" Miyuki asks everyone.
"How about Ayanokoji's room?" Sora speaks suddenly. I quickly raise my eyebrows.
"Wait a minute, why does it have to be in my room?" I quickly protest.
"What's wrong with not being? Unless you have something in your room that you don't want anyone to see," Lelouch said with a smirk. I can see the girls looking at me now.
"I don't have anything in my room. If you're so sure why don't we go to your room, I'm sure you don't mind Lelouch?" I challenge him. It's not like I have anything wrong with my room. Other than the history of my computer handing me over. After all, I asked Internet-sensei's wisdom for some things that for them must be very common in the everyday lives of normal people, so they would find me strange. But still, I don't think you would want anyone to come into your quarters out of the blue right?
"My room is extremely normal, but you denying it that way only puts you in the most suspicious part here," he stated. I just sighed.
"All right, let's meet in my room." I say in defeat not wanting to drag this conversation out. I can't let them go through my computer and look at the history. There are some very strange and embarrassing questions that I asked internet-sensei, and these questions are probably something normal in their daily lives.
"Very well then I'll find something to do, have fun." Light spoke as he walked out the door.
"Then let's get started Shiro, it's time to visit the 'defects' haha." Sora spoke as he pulled his sister with him, Ryuzaki just followed behind them.
"Come on Suzaku, Jabami," Lelouch spoke as he walked out with said people.
"I think it's time for us to go." I say as I prepare to leave. Miyuki and Victorique are beside me as we leave the classroom.

Now me, Miyuki and Victorique can be seen walking down the halls towards Class B. While we are walking Miyuki asks me a question while looking shy.
"Kiyotaka-san, do you have something in your room that you don't want us to see?" She said. But before I could speak Victorique is faster.
"It's probably perverted magazines like all normal high school kids," she said. I could see Miyuki for me completely red, but before she gets the wrong impression I say quickly.
"That's not true. My room is pretty clean, and I don't have any of that. You'll see for yourself. And yet, you said this was something any normal boy would have right? , do you think any of our class is normal?" I speak quickly. I see her opening her mouth, but then she closes it. After all, she couldn't argue with that.
After that we were completely silent as we walked towards Class B. And then not long after, we reached our goal. I could see the class sign above the door. When I looked through the classroom door I noticed something immediately.
One girl seemed to be attracting the attention of the whole class, well everyone taking one. A boy with black hair and black eyes like coal, he was the only one who wasn't paying attention to the girl. The girl was attractive, with pink hair and fairly generous proportions. She spoke in an animated way and seemed to give off a bright, contagious aura. I had no doubt she was the leader of Class B. I'm sure both of them think so too.
Victorique looked a little uncomfortable with the aura emitted by that girl. Miyuki on the other hand wasn't affected at all. I think it's because it itself emits a similar aura too. If I were here alone I probably wouldn't have the heart for you to either walk into the classroom.
Of all the ways to become the leader of something, doing it simply by being friendly and trustworthy was certainly one of the hardest ways to do it, so this girl earned my respect. Gaining the admiration and confidence of an entire class in just about 4 days was definitely not an easy task. This was something I would never be able to do. Maybe I should ask her for some tips?
"Are you shy now?" I decide to ask Victorique. She looks at me with a cute pout before answering.
"Shy? Don't be an idiot, why would I be shy here?" she answered. You cannot deceive me Victorique. Even more when you answered everything with embarrassment. Is that what I saw on internet-sensei the other day? What's your name... and yes I think the name was tsundere.
"Lets go in?" Miyuki asked. I nodded as I waited for her to go first. I wasn't going to walk into this room full of nowhere or screwing up. I could see that Victorique seemed to think the same thing as me. Miyuki enters the room followed by us, and then all eyes turn to the three of us.
"Excuse me," Miyuki said. The pink haired girl quickly asked a question. "Oh hello, who would you be?" she asked.
"I'm Shiba Miyuki, those next to me are Kiyotaka-san and Victorique-san," she introduced us politely, while Victorique and I nod our heads when our ares are spoken.
"What do you want here?" A boy quickly asks with a tone like he's on guard. He is a young man of medium height with bluish-violet hair and purple eyes.
"Kanzaki-kun, have some manners," the girl quickly spoke to him.
"Isn't it normal to ask that? They sure aren't from our Class, so obviously they're enemies, Ichinose," the boy replied.
So her name is Ichinose huh? This is very useful information. But he's right in assuming we're his enemies, so his reaction is to be expected. Ichinose's reaction which I think is weird.
"They aren't our enemies, are you?" She quickly asks us to which I reply. "Not technically, after all, nothing came up for us to make enemies right?" I respond quickly, and then she turns to her partner speaking. "Saw?"
"They said it's not because nothing forced them, which means if the demands force the story would be different, right?" he asks looking at us stiffly.
"You're right, but the school didn't do anything for us to have to be enemies did it?" Victorique speaks for the first time since entering.
"Yes, she's right Kanzaki." Ichinose scolded. He just looked at us and then backed away a little. But I can see he's watching us intently.
"Sorry about him, he's a little paranoid," Ichinose said. Paranoid? He is completely right.
"No problem, just come look at Class B for a bit. Your Class seems pretty tight, I assume you're their leader right?" Miyuki spoke kindly with a smile. She is very good. Probably any normal person wouldn't detect ulterior motives in the way she talks. But I notice that boy with the coal eyes is looking intently. Though it doesn't show in his stoic expression I can assume he's suspicious.
"Oh yeah, although I didn't really want that. But people started treating me as a leader pretty quickly. Our class is really close-knit, and I'm proud of that." Ichinose said with a smile.
I quickly came to a conclusion after seeing all this here. What Miyuki said is actually true. This will likely be the tightest Class of all the other four. Class A has 2 factions of leaders, and this gives it a big weakness. The others are still a mystery, but I doubt there will be any class as close-knit as this one.
But still...
They won't survive the next 3 years if they continue that way.
I can say that Ichinose is very naive if she thinks so little. In class wars, her class will likely have a bit of an advantage because of the unity of her class. But that also makes your weakness. They trust her a lot, so if there happens to be a class wars exam that we're taking part in, then what would she do if a traitor shows up in her class? If someone from another class showed up and made Ichinose trust her, everyone in the class would probably trust her too. And then she would be stabbed in the back for her naivete.
To me she doesn't seem like the kind of person who would really be a leader. A leader has to be willing to do everything to achieve victory, he has to make tough decisions. And she doesn't strike me as the kind of person who could do that. The person I would most define as a leader is the one we approached earlier as we joined. Kanzaki. He does seem to look like a leader.
While Ichinose and Miyuki are talking, the sound of a chair being dragged is heard. And then, that same boy with black hair and pupilless black eyes like coal gets up and starts walking towards the exit. Ichinose just looks a little sad at that.
"Sasuke-kun, are you leaving already?" She asked the boy who came through the door with his things, and he just answered.
"Hn." and went away.
Hn? What kind of answer is that?
"He doesn't seem very cheerful or chatty," I hear Victorique beside me say. Ichinose looks at the door with a sad face.
"Oh yeah, he's Sasuke Uchiha, but he's the only person who doesn't seem to care much about the class. He actually looks quite annoyed to be here actually. But I'm sure we just need more time, and then he does. will open up to everyone in the class." Ichinose starts with a sad tone, but is soon replaced by determination along with a smile.
Sasuke Uchiha. That's a rather strange name. But still, I feel like I've heard that name before...
"Thanks for everything, Ichinose-san, my classmates and I have arranged to meet so we have to go, we just wanted to take a look at Class B," Miyuki replies with a bow.
"Alright, I'll see you around. Bye, Kiyotana-kun, Victorique and Miyuki!" She spoke happily as we walked out of the classroom.
"You do realize you just gave her my first name right?" I ask Miyuki. I can see your face getting a little pale.
"Ah, you're right, sorry Kiyotaka-san." She apologizes. "No need to worry about that. I don't really care, it's just a name," I reply quickly.
"So can I call you Kiyotaka?" Victorique suddenly asks. Miyuki and I rolled our eyes at her. She then realizes what she just said and starts to turn red like a tomato. Seriously, what's with these girls turning red like that? It can't be a fever, as they return to normal afterwards. Apparently this is one more answer that I will have to ask for the teachings of internet-sensei.
"I don't care," I reply calmly. And then I see Miyuki, looking at me a little sad? Did I say something wrong?
"I see... if that's the case, we're now going to your room right Kiyotaka? You didn't tell the others where it was, did you?" Victorique asked using my first name. I think she will call me that from now on.
"Yeah, let me let you know in the group chat Sora created. They should come as soon as they finish their demands on the other classes," so I start putting information and my room number into the group chat. They must look at this. At least I'm sure Sora will look, after all, he spends a lot of time on his cell phone.
xXx
Now, everyone is inside my room, sitting on the floor forming a big circle, as big as the small room allows, while Miyuki and Victorique were on my respective sides, left and right, Shiro was sitting next to Sora, while Ryuzaki and Light were close to each other. Lelouch and Kururugi were up ahead, along with Jabami.
"You have an extremely clean room Ayanokoji-kun," Jabami points out.
"I told you it was, didn't I?" I just answer.
"So there really isn't anything huh?" Sora said his thoughts out loud.
"No. And you are free to look wherever you like." As long as it's not my computer...
"Isn't it better to get started soon?" Kururugi spoke. In fact.
"Okay, how about starting with the 'defects' class, Sora?" Lelouch asked. Sora then started to get ready for some reason, before starting to speak.
"So the school was right to summarize them as 'flaws', your class is totally clumsy, with people talking loud as hell. When me, Shiro and Ryuzaki walked in, I started talking arrogantly and calling them ' defects' over and over to see how they reacted." Sora started his explanation.
"As expected, some of them were quite annoyed, but they still didn't say anything other than a red haired boy who looked like a delinquent," this is probably Sudo. "And a black haired girl, her name is Horikita Suzune, this is the girl you and Light had talked about being smart right?" Sora asked for confirmation, Light and I nodded in agreement so he could continue with his explanation.
"She really seems to be smart, but her attitude of thinking she's superior to people is what probably put her in Class D, her 'flaw', she even said to their faces that she agrees with me, and so I asked her if she's that how did you end up in class D? I thought she was going to start saying things like she was going to see this with the school and blabla," Sora said.
"But when I said that, she started thinking deeply about it." Sora said something that caught everyone's attention.
"Maybe she's thinking about that time she saw Jabami take the stitches from those seniors? I mean he said to everyone's face that Class D has only flaws, if she can't put it all together I'm really going to be surprised." Light decided to make his point. I agree with that.
If Horikita doesn't notice her fault, and doesn't realize that she won't be able to advance alone, she's really going to disappoint me a lot. She basically got all the answers in her face, but still wasn't able to think straight because of her superiority complex.
"But there were two people who caught my attention," Sora started, drawing everyone's attention again. "One is a blonde who looks like a narcissist who kept saying things like being the perfect existence is such," the moment he said that I stopped short. This was that kid from the bus right?
"His name was Rokusuke Kōenji if I'm not mistaken. He was one of the 2 people who could see through my trick that I tried to make Horikita fall, forcing her to play and take some of his stitches," he said this part a bit annoyed , so he failed to take the stitches?
"The second person was really interesting. He was a pretty lazy boy, I really didn't understand how he managed to nap in that noisy room from hell," Sora said and I raised my eyebrows. So is he huh? I also saw him sleeping in the classroom, was he still sleeping until now?
"And then, just when I thought I was going to take the stitches from the girl with the superiority complex, this guy suddenly wakes up and starts saying it's a trap," we all listened to this quite carefully. "He started explaining how I was going to beat her, it was a little card game where I was going to bet 10,000 points. I was sure of my victory, but he had to take away the points I was going to win." Sora exclaimed somewhat irritated.
This has definitely caught the attention of several here. Was a person able to see through the trick of one of us? This boy looks like he was really interesting huh...
"That's interesting. Do you know this boy's name?" Lelouch asked somewhat surprised. He knows Sora is good at reading people, and making them angry. This was probably his best card. She made the person angry, and could easily read her, and thus crush her, without her knowing where she was hit.
"Oh yeah, he had us say his name. How was it..." Sora started trying to remember the boy's name.
" Hōtarō Oreki, " Shiro and Ryuzaki spoke at the same time.
"Yes, that's right, Hōtarō Oreki, that's his name. When he told us that, after he stopped me from earning my points, he just said that his heat was gone and went back to sleep. Can you believe that?" Sora spoke irritated.
Battery dead? What the hell does that mean?
"That's interesting, maybe your 'flaw' is your laziness?" Jabami commented.
As strange as that was, it was possible. So my colleagues just shrugged as if to say it was possible.
"If I had to list people to watch out for, it's these two. But the blonde doesn't seem like the type to help his class at all. So this Hōtarō Oreki is the most likely to help the class in the future." Sora concluded. That's true, if I take Koenji based on his attitude on the bus he probably doesn't care about the class he fell into, or about helping them. But no one knows about the possible class war yet, other than us at this point, so I can't confirm that he wouldn't help in the future.
"Do you have something to add Ryuzaki?" Lelouch asked. Ryuzaki thought for a moment before starting.
"It's basically like Sora said, their class is completely clumsy. I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't get a single point next month due to their behavior from what I could analyze, although we still don't know how or where the points are from. retracted, the only thing we know is that everyone from year 1 received 100,000 points." Ryuzaki said pointing out something very real here.
Nobody knows where the points will be retracted from, like for example, we from 1 year got about 100,000 points this month, but we are sure that the second and third years didn't get all that. The 100,000 points should be given as a reward for having qualified to enter this school, the rest you will get in the coming months will be deducted from your merit.
So the logical point would be to think that there is another class point system, different from the ones that are used. If it's something that affects the whole class, then would it be something like Class Points ?
It was something I came up with after thinking about it a lot. I don't say if my colleagues managed to come up with this information, but I don't think so. I decided not to point this out yet, now we need to concentrate on the class information.
"I see...so would you like to be the next Ayanokoji?" Lelouch asked me. I looked at Miyuki and Victorique and they nodded. So I started.
"Class B is probably the tightest of all the classes. They have a leader named Ichinose, and she seems to have earned their trust by being friendly is trustworthy, one of the hardest ways for me, but this...," I spoke while Lelouch interrupted.
"They won't go far with her as their leader." He stated.
"What do you mean by that?" Kururugi asked confused.
"He means she's completely naive, an easy target for the other classes if she uses the right strategy for her. She's very kind and certainly not the type who would be able to sacrifice anything. make tough decisions, and she's not capable of it. So she'll eventually get stabbed in the back for being naive," suddenly everyone turns to the person who said it with completely baffled expressions.
The reason?
The person who said this is none other than Miyuki...
I can see everyone looking at her with dumbfounded expressions, because they sure as hell didn't expect the calm, gentle girl to be able to talk in that relentless way about someone. I'm sure myself I'm surprised as hell here. And as if she had noticed our eyes, she spoke.
"Some problem?" She asked a little confused.
"Oh, it's not that we're probably surprised to hear you talk like that..." Light said in a rather surprised tone.
"Yes...but like she said Suzaku, she's right. As kind as this Ichinose is to everyone, that kindness of hers will come and attack her relentlessly eventually. She's Naive, a leader who thinks that way is bound to fall." Lelouch stated coldly. Kururugi just looked at him but said nothing. So I continued.
"Although they are like that, I think there is an interesting person in their class," I said and then all attention was on me. "His name is Sasuke Uchiha, he doesn't seem like someone who gets along with his classmates, but he was clearly looking at all of us as we interacted with Ichinose, I'm sure unlike her who didn't notice any malice behind the In conversation due to his kindness, he was certainly on the lookout. But like Koenji he doesn't seem like the kind of person who cares about his class." I declare.
Everyone starts to think clearly about what I said, and then Lelouch raises his voice.
"Well now I think it's us, alright." He started, and then laughed out of nowhere, quite amused. We all looked at him like he was crazy.
"What there was?" Light asked curiously.
"Oh no, it's just that I'm remembering something really funny..." He said still laughing, and then I also see Kururugi start laughing. What happened? Say hello, I'm curious here.
"What happened?" Victorique asked. Good Victorique.
Instead of answering our question Lelouch just pointed his hand at someone. When we turned around, we saw he was pointing at Jabami who had an innocent smile on his face. And then the realization fell to me, and I'm sure Light did too.
"Who did she go bankrupt this time?" I blatantly asked. She then looks at me like she looks sad.
"That's cruel Ayanokoji-kun, why do you have to say I'm going to bankrupt anyone I meet who isn't from our class?" She asked sadly. I even changed my expression and replied.
"Because that's exactly what you said." I stated. Well at least that's what happened when I was around her. Jabami seems to be the type of person who only bets when the stakes are high. Aside from our class, which I think she has mercy on. So my assumption that she went bankrupt is totally valid here. I'm sure Light thought the same.
"Now, let's start my explanation," Lelouch said making everyone look at him. "Ahem, the reason I laugh is the fact that Jabami took points from someone, but he didn't go broke...I guess." Lelouch started. When he spoke this final part I turned my eyes to Jabami who was still laughing innocently.
"Class C is run by a dictator who exercises violence to suppress any and all opposition within the class. Even though it's only the fourth day of school, he seems to have already the majority of the class under his command. Mainly because the majority of people is hesitant to fight him. His name is Ryuen Kakeru, but he is not really the strongest person in his class. There is also a very strong guy with dark skin, named Albert Yamada, who always wears sunglasses. is incredibly strong, but it doesn't seem like he doesn't like to resort to violence.."
"When did you find out Albert's name?" Kururugi asked questioningly.
"I checked his table nameplate while, Jabami was busy getting Ryuen's stitches...hahahaha, sorry, sorry," He replied and then started laughing. I'm really curious as hell what exactly happened in that room. I will ask Jabami another time.
"Oh right..." Kururugi said feeling a bit stupid for probably asking that question.
Lelouch started to give us a brief rundown, and then went on to explain all the events that happened when he visited Class C. About how one Ishizaki-kun had been beaten up by Ryuen, and how Albert rose by the class, beating Ryuen with extreme ease. Ryuen just stood up, which was when Lelouch, Kururugi and Jabami entered the classroom and spoke to him.
Lelouch had asked why the Class C students didn't report Ryuen to the school. And Ryuen stopped them from answering. So Lelouch deduced that Ryuen knows he can't be denounced for assaulting his own classmates, as a punishment for him would also be a punishment for Class C by extension, but he didn't want him to know he knew that. Lelouch came to the conclusion that he was an incredibly dangerous opponent due to the fact that he didn't hesitate to use violence and seemed very observant and intelligent.
He was basically the opposite of Ichinose. And he is probably the most dangerous person of all classes. So we'll have to take care of him in the future. But then I noticed something...
He didn't talk about how Jabami got Ryuen's stitches... the way he talked was very funny. Say what it was at once!
But he didn't say...
"So that's why the Class C girls approached you then." Shiro deduced quietly. Huh? When did this happen? They probably finished their quests around the same time and then met? It was the only thing I could think of.
"Yeah, I bet they thought you were so cool facing your scary leader like that." Sora scoffed in annoyance.
"Are you really still upset about this?" Lelouch asked in genuine confusion. I am also confused by this.
"Nii will be back to normal tomorrow, don't worry," Shiro said as he started stroking Sora's head with his right hand. "He's just upset that he's never touched a girl other than his sister before."
"Don't go slander my name! This is libel!" Sora protested loudly.
He didn't get rid of Shiro's hand however.
"What does that mean Shiro-san?" Miyuki asked with a bit of dread in her voice. I could see Sora turn to her quickly as she started to speak.
"She means that I've never literally touched another girl but her, as I'm doing now holding hands here, don't go thinking things wrong!" He yelled at her. Miyuki turns slightly red and just nods her head a little relieved.
"So what can we say with all this information?" Kururugi pondered aloud.
"Class A has one big weakness, which is its faction division, so in future examinations it's likely that both factions will try to sabotage each other, even though it might mean harming their own class." Light commented.
"Class C is probably the most dangerous of all, due to the way Ryuen does things." Lelouch said.
"Class D is no problem for us, except probably those two people I mentioned earlier. It all depends on how they act in the future." Sora said.
"Class B won't survive these three years if they continue as they are. Their leader is quite naive and predictable. The person we have to keep an eye on is probably Sasuke." I said ending our ramblings.
After we all sigh and digest the information, Sora asks me a question.
"Ayanokoji, what was it that you said you wanted to confirm in a store?" He said to me, I can see everyone except Miyuki and Victorique getting curious.
"Yeah, you said you'd show us when we were alone right?" Lelouch spoke.
All people are looking at me expectantly apart from Miyuki and Victorique, as they've seen it before.
I quickly get up and head towards my bag. Inside it I took something out, and then I show them all. I can see the surprised expressions on their faces.
"That...could it be...?" Lelouch said.
"Is this allowed...?" Kururugi spoke with a shocked expression on his face.
"If it was selling, then yes it is allowed." I stated the obvious. Honestly, sometimes Kururugi surprises me with his stupid questions.
I then see Sora's smirk growing bigger and bigger. Along with him Lelouch is also starting to smile. They are probably thinking about the various possible strategies we can do with these items I bought from the store, if we use them wisely. We can't let anyone else find out about this. That's our advantage.
I quickly look at the small item in my hand.
This is really starting to get fun . I think pretty excited.
Then Sora dramatically stands up raising his arms, and looks at me with the same smirk.
"Looks like things are going to get turbulent huh?" I just nod in agreement with him. And then he starts talking.
"So..." he starts, and I can see his red eyes glowing brightly.
"Let's begin the game."
