"What are you doing here?"
Kyouya closes his books, stands, and glares down at Regina.
"What's it look like? Or are you saying a guy like me shouldn't go to high school?"
Regina walks past him in a huff, then gets up on his chair and crosses her arms. Now Kyouya is the one who has to look up, and he does so. It becomes a staring contest.
"Now, now..." Mana attempts to mediate. "Regina, Kyouya is an exam student, same as Rikka and I are. The entrance exams are coming up soon, so this is a very important time for us."
"Then the two of you should be thinking about yourselves," Regina replies, still standing on the chair. "Let this guy sink into the earth by his lonesome."
"Oh, I'm to sink into the earth, am I? Why, so somebody can keep your mother company?"
Regina leaps from the chair and tackles Kyouya to the floor, where she kneels on his chest and pulls at his shirt collar.
"You listen and listen good, Ira! My mother was a saint!"
He pushes her off of him and picks himself up. "I don't have to take this. Rikka, Mana, good luck with your exams."
"Kyouya-" Rikka starts to get up, but Kyouya gestures for her to stop.
"Seriously, don't worry about it. It's been fun trying to keep up with the two of you, but I'm not actually aiming for Zenith Academy."
"You're not?" "You're not?"
"Of course he's not!" Regina crows. "Trash like this guy don't go to good high schools. He belongs in the kind of school that gets covered all over in spray paint and where the boys get in fistfights every day."
Kyouya snorts. "Schools like that don't actually exist, but I guess you won't be able to find out! The school I'm going to turns girls away at the gate!"
Rikka frowns. "Why haven't you mentioned this until now?"
"Because he's trash."
"You shut up," Rikka says, glaring at Regina. "Kyouya, why?"
"I didn't want to distract you. Rikka, trust me on this. Zenith is a great school for people like you and Mana, who already have futures. Kujou Boys School is a better place for someone like me."
