cote boy with system

Chapter 1: Chapter 1

A young man took his seat in the back right corner of the room. His desk was right beside the window, some might even call it a 'main character's' seat. In this story those people would be absolutely correct. This young man entering his first year in the advanced nurturing high school was our main character. 10

He sat down in an orderly fashion and took note of the fact that he was sitting in the only desk in the final row, almost like he wasn't supposed to be in this class but was added at the last minute. 2

He hummed to himself in amusement as he analyzed all the students surrounding him. People he was meeting for the first time yet was somehow very familiar with. A small smile crept up on his face as he watched more and more students flood into the classroom.

"Class 1-D eh?" He muttered as his gaze finally fell on the student seated directly in front of him who wore a dead fish expression.

'Ayanokoji Kiyotaka' He thought to himself. His expression was calm and collected as he was unable to voice his real opinion. 6

'Holy shit! So cool~! I'm really meeting everyone! Plus Ayanokoji is way cooler in real life!' His inner monologue was fanboying… 21

What a loser! 3

Ahem! Anyway!

His thoughts were suddenly cut off by a stiff and cold teacher standing at the front of the classroom.

"Ahem! Everyone, I am your teacher this year. You can all call me Chashibara Sensei. Now, let's get to explanations." 2

The young boy at the back of the class was still spacing out as his mind was currently blown by the situation. He had something else on his mind as a transparent blue screen was hovering in front of his face.

[Welcome to the class system!] 2

'What a horrible name! I wonder what kind of horrid thing this wants me to do? No matter what, I won't discriminate against people based on their class! Look what that did to the people of the monarchy's!' 4

[That's not what the class system is!!!] 3

'Oh'

[Haaa… The class system is based on the CLASSES of your school. You have been bound to Class 1-D/Chasibara's Class/Horikita's class.]

The young man smacked the palm of his hand in understanding.

[You can earn rewards and gain knowledge and abilities based on a few things. 1. The class points 2. Helping an individual in your class 3. Using your own private points 4. If you help out the class or earn class points yourself (or with any action you do)]

'So it's like a store?'

[Not exactly. You can only gain 'spins' which will allow you to spin the wheel of fortune and gain rewards! Exciting isn't it?!]

'... No. Gacha sucks ass…' 9

[?@.# You ungrateful host! Do you not understand how great I am?! I'm the best system!] 8

'Well, you bound me to the worst class in the school and forced me to make it better in order to gain anything… plus I can only spin a wheel and get random shit… Also why did you call it wheel of fortune? That's trademarked, just call it literally anything else!'

[I didn't want to call it wheel of fortune either host… I was forced too. It was a sponsorship.] 4

'Well that sucks… wait! Don't just ignore the rest of what I said!'

[Good luck host! If you have any questions I will do everything I can to answer them! :) ]

Then just as suddenly as it appeared the scream disappeared.

'?!?!? Wait! I have questions!'

[...]

'You shitty system! Get back here!'

[...]

'Wow… I'm so fucked. I'm just a normal dude. Should I try and spend my private points right now and get something? I mean, I'm not great at academics and I'm just barely above average at sports… If only there was a hockey team then I would be king of the school…' 14

[Ding! Due to the system's generosity, the host will receive one free spin!]

'Wow! Lucky! Thank you system'

A multicolored wheel appeared in mid air and started spinning.

It finally slowed down and stopped on a blue space.

[Ding! Host has received (Elementary school knowledge) x1] 5

[Ding! Congratulations on your first reward host. Due to the system's generosity you will receive 5x your last reward!]

[Ding! Host has received (Elementary school knowledge) x5] 2

'... JGAGORSHAH WHAT THE FUCK!! This is so useless! At least if it was like middle school knowledge or something I could give it to Sudo and the other students who struggled!' 4

[Good luck host! I await your success!]

' FUCK YOU!'

As this was all happening the teacher scanned the room and looked at the man before looking at a list of notes she had on her clipboard.

"... Mr. Sujin. Please pay attention." She said coldly as she flipped the page she was just looking at back down. 2

"Ah? Oh just Syl is fine." The young man smiled as he casually told his teacher to call him by name…

Chashibara had a disgusted look on her face as she replied. "Mr. Sujin. Don't talk in class."

"Bu…" Syl was about to respond when Chashibara's gaze shut him up. He might usually be an idiot, but at least he could read the room… sometimes.

He could feel many of the students look back at him with a mixture of looks in their eyes.

He just smiled and pretended nothing happened.

"... As I was saying. Welcome to the Advanced Nurturing High School. You all are going to be in class D…" Chasibara analyzed the students before turning around and writing on the white board. "In this school everything runs on types of points. Personal points are available to you right now. You all have 100,000 points deposited to you which is equivalent to 100,000 yen…"

Chasibara paused and looked at the students.

One lone boy raised his hand.

(Authors note: I'm doing a lot of this by memory and I (surprisingly) don't remember every single detail off all the books! I'll try my best to get everything right but if I make a small mistake I apologize in advance. It won't be anything major like I won't just go ' oh the uninhabited island exam was on a snowly island.' But I might forget some small interactions and details. Anyway, hope you enjoy!) COMMENT

Chapter 2: Chapter 2

"Yes, Mr. Sujin?" Chashibara reluctantly asked.

"You said that everything runs on 'types of points' what are the other types?" Syl asked.

Chashibara was extremely shocked but didn't show it on her face. She quickly looked back at her notes which showed Syl's abilities. All of them were in the D's and C's with the exception of his athleticism being a B-. 3

'Must have been a fluke.' She thought before answering his question.

"You will learn in the future. Any other questions?"

No one spoke up but a few people turned to Syl and looked at him with slight interest. Horikita Suzune, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, Ryunosuke Koneji and a few others. 3

"Then as I was saying. You all have 100,000 points that you can use however you want. This school will also provide you with everything you need be it academically, physically, or socially. You will receive class points every month on the first of the month."

"Woah! We get 100,000 points every month! I'm living the life!" Sudo exclaimed in happiness.

"Hahaha! This is the best!" Ike cheered.

"Hehehe! We can shop all we want! And get startbuckz everyday!" A few of the girls cheered happily. 1

Only one student raised his hand.

"Haa.. Yes? Mr. Sujin?" Charsibara asked.

"A few questions. How do we gain points?"

"There are many ways to gain points. You will hear about them from me in the near future."

"Then how much do we get each month without doing anything?"

"...What do you mean?"

"Well, we don't get 100,000 points every month right?" 5

"WHAT?! WE DON'T?!" A couple students cried out.

"..."

When he didn't receive an answer Syl continued on.

"How many points do we get each month? Sensei?" Syl asked.

"That is undetermined right now." Chashibara answered.

"So it's not 100,000?"

"Not necessarily."

"Alright, so does that mean we can gain or lose points? How do we do that?"

"You'll have to figure that out yourselves." Chasibara quickly said as she turned around and tried to continue.

However, Syl cut in again.

"Is that what the cameras are for?" 2

"What! What cameras!" Karuizawa covered herself like she was being watched and called out as she looked around. She soon spotted the camera's recording them.

"You can't film us in class!" She called out angrily.

Chasibara had a slightly sour look on her face. She wasn't allowed to say anything. She also didn't want to say anything to help the class. But this student was seeing through everything right now! At this rate these guys might be class A in one month! She then got excited. They might be class A in one month!! 8

"Those are just to make sure you don't do anything bad." Was all Chashibara said.

"What exactly does that mean? Like stealing things? Or like talking during class? It could be anything!" Karuizawa replied angrily.

"Those are just to make sure you don't do anything bad." Chashibara repeated.

"Don't … bad my ass. This is… school" Karuizawa grumbled but Syl could only hear parts of it.

"Now then. Moving on…" Chashibara continued explaining more things about the school but Syl tuned it out after a while.

After all, he already knew all about classroom of the elite. He was just a dude who liked reading light novels until one day. Well, 7 days ago. He woke up to an acceptance letter from this school! He just transmigrated randomly! He didn't even know how he died! At least when he checked his bank account his eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets! So many 0's! It was like 12! Well, it was yen, but still! It was apparently a gift from god who accidentally killed him in his past life. Plus he got a system! Too bad it sucked! 7

[I don't suck!] 5

Haha yes you do! For now at least!

Anyway!

He was Canadian in his past life so he knew English perfectly, but he couldn't speak Japanese. But now he could! That was on the note too, 'you can now speak Japanese because it would be kinda wack if you just couldn't talk to anyone!' 5

Lucky Syl!

Back to the Classroom… of the Elite… 1

Class ended and Chashibara instantly left. She didn't want Syl to ask anymore questions and force her to give out anymore information. She might be fired at this rate!

Suddenly a boy at the front of the class stood up!

"Hello everyone. I'm Hirata! Let's all introduce ourselves so that we can all get along in the future!" He said.

Most obliged, some begrudgingly, others joyfully. A few just left… cough Horikita cough.

Syl was happy to join in.

He waited as everyone introduced themselves until it got to the person before him.

"Uh.. I'm Ayanokoji Kiyotaka.. Um.. I look forward to studying with you. Ah… I'm not good at anything in particular… Uh… I'll work hard to get along with everyone." 3

Syl bit his lip to hold back from laughing. Even though he couldn't read any emotions from Ayanokoji's face he already knew what he was thinking.

'I blew it.'

Ah, what a guy.

Syl stood up and smiled. He was in the same red uniform as everyone else. He had black hair and yellow eyes. He also had a single earring with an upside down cross on it. It's honestly a miracle the school didn't force him to take it off. Maybe it was magical! 17

"Hey, I'm Syl Sujin… and uh.. I forgot what I was gonna say…"

"..."

Everyone was silent for a while.

Eventually Syl continued.

"Uhh… I guess I'm alright with academics, though I don't think I'll get any awards. Umm… and .. uh I'm pretty good at sports. But I play hockey so I won't be joining any clubs or anything. I look forward to this year… so … yeah… Thanks for coming to my Ted talk." 2

He quickly sat back down with black lines on his face and red cheeks in embarrassment.

'I BLEW IT'

Ayanokoji looked at him and silently thought. 'At least I wasn't as bad as that guy.'

The whole class was stifling laughter.

[Congratulations host! You greatly improved the mood of the class! You get a spin!] 4

Chapter 3: Chapter 3

'This isn't how I want to make them laugh!' Syl cursed in his heart.

However, the wheel cares not for Syl's feelings and appeared out of nowhere spinning furiously. It almost spun off its bearing.

It eventually stopped on a black space.

'Damn! A dud! What's with my luck?'

[Ding! Host has received a package! (Physical enhancement eye drops) [body strengthening] x1, (Physical enhancement eye drops) [improved appearance] x1, (Mental enhancement) [Quicker learning] x1, (Mental enhancement) [improved memory] x1]

'What the fuck? That's OP!!!'

[Ding! Due to host rolling a poor roll. The wheel will respin.] 4

'No! STOP! KEEP IT! I WANT TO KEEP IT!'

[... Is host sure?]

'YES!'

[Fine… however, just so the host knows, he could have received. (Eyebrow dancing talent) [God level] x1] 9

'Thank god I kept it!'

Syl suddenly felt a rush in his brain as he glowed slightly yellow. A few seconds later he blinked… and felt exactly the same!

Well, it was only a slight boost to his learning speed and memory… Plus that would only be useful if he actually put in the work and studied. But what was he? A nerd? Pfft! Of course he wouldn't study! 4

Well, it's not like he needed to study to pass and getting good grades right now wasn't even that important. So I guess it's fine for now.

Syl was much more interested in the two eye drops in his pocket!

Physical enhancement which would make him stronger and sexier! What more could you ask for? A lot actually…

But he couldn't know that! Because the system didn't tell him!

Anyway!

Syl headed out of class and ended up at the convenience store. He noticed that most of the cheap items were missing right now, probably due to what he said in class. He went to the convenience store to buy… an eye dropper! The eyedrops didn't come with an eye dropper…

Syl made his rounds of the store and grabbed a few things he would need for the cheapest possible price.

[Ding! Would host like to exchange?]

'What does that mean?'

[Host can exchange rewards he gets for money or private points. You currently have (Elementary school knowledge) x5]

'I can do that?! Why didn't you tell me?!'

[Host never asked.]

'... haa, ya, that would be your answer.' 1

'How much can I get?'

[5000 points per item.]

'Exchanged all 5 for 25,000′ 1

[Is the host sure he doesn't want to keep one? It is a very useful item.]

'Yes I'm sure!'

[You have exchanged x5 Items for 25,000 points. Happy shopping!]

'... Thanks.'

Syl was lost in thought and accidentally bumped into someone in front of him.

"Ah! Sorry!"

He immediately apologized and went to make sure the person was alright.

"Don't you watch where you're going?" She glared at him.

"Uhh, usually. Not always. Haha, my bad."

Syl smiled despite the angry glare he was currently receiving.

"... I'll forgive you just once because you confirmed with the teacher how important private points are. Not that I didn't already realize." 1

"Uhh, your welcome? What was your name again?" Syl responded.

"I didn't thank you… It's Horikita." She responded coldly.

Just then another student walked around the corner.

He looked at his two classmates and stared. Doing nothing.

"... Well, aren't you going to say something?" Horikita asked.

"No. I have nothing in particular to say." Ayanokoji, who just walked around the corner responded.

"Then leave."

"I can't, I'm shopping."

"Then go shop."

"You're in the aisle I need access too."

"Then wait."

"I am."

Syl nearly fell backwards at this dry interaction. It was so much more awkward in real life!

"Hey! Ayanokoji right?" Syl chimed in.

"Yes. And you're Sujin."

"Yup! But just call me Syl! Where I grew up people called each other by first name so hearing my last name is weird! Anyway, we're kind of like brothers in arms who both failed our introductions, right?"

"Unfortunately, that is correct, Syl."

Syl chuckled.

"You don't look very upset though."

"I am, I'm just not showing it."

"As a friend let me give you some advice. People won't be able to tell what you're thinking if you don't show it. Maybe try changing your facial expression or cadence when speaking or something!"

"A friend?" 3

"Yea! We're friends aren't we?" 2

"... I guess."

Ayanokoji looked the exact same, but was lost in thought. 1

"What's wrong? This is usually where you would change your expression or something so I could tell something was up." Syl cut in.

"Oh. Like this?"

Ayanokoji furrowed his brows and frowned. It looked horrid. He had no idea what he was doing and just tried to make a random face.

"Pfft~ Hahaha! I never thought I'd get to see that! Well, not exactly like that. You gotta be more natural… like this." Syl said as he made a face.

"... I see. Like this?" Ayanokoji tried again.

He failed miserably again. What a guy!

Syl laughed once more. "Maybe just stick to the dead fish look. I think It suits you more. Anyway, what were you thinking?"

"Dead fish? Isn't that rude?" 3

Syl smiled. "Anyway, what were you thinking again?"

He struck Ayanokoji with his fatal weakness. Ignoring his words! Ayanokoji has no defence to this and always just continues on with the conversation. Funnily enough Syl learned about this hack from the girl standing right beside him who looked annoyed at this whole exchange.

"I was just thinking it was surprising I already made a friend. I thought it would be harder."

"You speak as if you have never made a friend. Nevermind, that makes a lot of sense." Horikita cut in.

"Woah, tall words coming from the ice queen herself! You didn't even introduce yourself. At least Ayanokoji tried!"

"... It's not like you did any better." Ayanokoji said out of nowhere.

Syl held his side like he had been shot. "Friendly fire! And here I was trying to defend you!" 3

"You're a child." Horikita frowned.

Syl released his side and chuckled. "Don't women love children?"

He said as he winked.

"No. I hate them."

"Oh come on. Really? And you're surprised no one wants to be friends with you?"

"You're wrong. It's not that no one wants to be friends with me. I don't want to be friends with anyone else."

"I call bullshit. You just can't make friends."

"I just don't want to."

"Hmm. Then, let's make a bet."

"Not interested."

"What should it be?"

"I'm not interested."

"How about, if you can become friends with Karuizawa in a week then you win. I'll put 5,000 points on it!"

"No."

"10,000!"

"No."

"100,000!"

"No."

"You seem like the studious type. Soo. I'll help you get on the student council! Or anything else!"

Horikita froze.

She turned around and left without even paying for the things in her cart.

"No." was all she said.

Syl turned to Ayanokoji who was staring at her leave with a blank expression.

"What's her problem?"

"Maybe she doesn't like the student council?"

"I doubt it…"

"Me too."

Chapter 4: Chapter 4

The duo got to the cash register to see that Sudo was arguing with the store clerk because he forgot his ID card.

Ayanokoji stepped in to pay and the trio walked out of the store together.

They all sat outside and started to eat together talking about miscellaneous things and becoming closer. Especially Syl and Sudo.

Eventually a group of older students walked by.

"What do you guys think your doing here?" One of them provoked.

"Ummm eating? Talking? Both? Why?" Syl asked with a mouthful of food.

"No shit asshole! You can't be here!"

"Why not?" Ayanokoji asked.

"First years aren't allowed! What class are you guys?"

"Class D." Syl said as he slurped up more noodles.

""HAHAHA!""

"No wonder!"

"Exactly! That's probably why he eats noodles while he talks!"

"AHAHa ah. Wow, that's funny. I'll let you guys off this time because you're so unlucky."

"What's wrong with class D?" Sudo asked, he was probably the only one who didn't understand the situation right now.

"What's wrong with class D he said! Hahaha! Don't you know? The D stands for dumbass!"

"Why you!" Sudo was about to charge but Ayanokoji and Syl held him back.

Syl just closed his eyes and smiled.

"At least we don't have to suck Nagumo's dick 24/7." 15

"Wha- How do you know that!?" One of them shouted. 1

"So you admit it's true?" Syl smiled. 6

"You little shit!" The first thug charged and punched Syl in the face.

Caught off guard Syl flew back and landed on the ground with his noodles flying in the air. 3

Syl rubbed his cheek in immense pain. He stood back up with a wince. He didn't want to fight these guys. For one, he was just a below average height, slightly strong dude, but they were older and stronger. Also, that punch fucking hurt! A lot! Also also, he didn't know how to fight!

Luckily. Sudo was here!

"You bastard!" Sudo charged at the three older students and got into a brawl. Syl joined in after a little to support him and got his ass kicked but still was able to hold off some of the older students. 2

Ayanokoji also joined, though he didn't throw a punch or get hit once… 1

At least he distracted them!

After they beat up all three of the students the trio was sitting back down.

Ayanokoji was perfectly fine and wasn't out of breath at all. Sudo was out of breath but uninjured. Syl was panting and also beat badly with a black eye and bruises all over!

"How are you fine when Syl is all beat up?" Sudo asked Ayanokoji.

He just shrugged. "I got lucky."

Syl laughed when he heard this.

What a guy!

He could have ended the fight in two seconds. 'I got lucky?' Bullshit!

Anyway!

As the three were sitting there recuperating a woman walked up to them. She had purple hair and a clip board.

"The student council president would like to speak to you."

"Umm. Whow are youw?" Syl asked with a swollen mouth.

"I'm Tachibana, the student council secretary. Please come with me. The pres is waiting."

The three followed her and came to a room with the door closed.

"Please enter." Tachibana said before bowing and walking away.

The trio looked mildly confused but entered.

When they walked in they saw a man with glasses and sleek black hair sitting with his chin on his hands. To the right was Chashibara and to the left was the three students and another adult, likely their teacher.

Syl didn't say a word and just took one of the seats in front of his sensei the other two followed suit.

"Welcome. I'm Horikita Manabu, the student council president. I have called you here today to discuss the 'incident' that took place earlier." Manabu said.

Syl leaned in closer to Ayanokoji. "Maybe this is why Horikita was so mad earlier?"

Ayanokoji nodded.

"Ahem. It seems that on your first day of school you three have decided to get into a fight with your senpai's."

"Ah. Excuse me!" Syl said.

"Yes?" Manabu asked.

"We didn't fight them. They just started beating me up."

"Then how do you explain the fact that three of them are injured and only one of you is?"

"I don't know. I just know we didn't do it."

"Wh-" Sudo was about to speak up when Syl cut him off.

"Check the cameras! Then you can see I'm telling the truth!" 1

Manabu narrowed his eyes.

Chapter 5: Chapter 5

They had already checked the cameras. However, right when the first punch was thrown the noodles in Syl's hands flew straight into the camera and damaged it. 2

Manabu pulled up the video in front of everyone and showed them this scene.

"Woah! What are the odds!" Syl laughed.

"They beat us up right after this! We demand compensations!" One of the three senpai's said.

"Wha! We did nothing! We didn't throw a single punch!" Syl cried out. 17

"That's bullshit! Look at us! How do you explain our injuries?!"

"Then prove it! For all I know you could have fallen down the stairs!" Syl replied.

"Enough." Manabu said in a low voice and instantly commanded the room.

He turned to Syl.

"How do you explain their injuries? There was clearly an altercation."

"I already told you. They beat me up. We didn't throw a single punch. I don't know how they got injured."

Manabu turned to the other three.

"Is this true?"

"NO! They beat us up!"

Manabu sighed. This was going nowhere.

After a moment of silence Syl cut in.

"Excuse me. I would like compensation."

Everyone was silent and looked at him. Manabu and Chashibara were looking at him suspiciously but also with a slight smirk.

"WHAT?!" The senpai shouted.

"I would like compensation for being beat up."

"What bullshit!"

"We didn't do a thing to you and were one sidedly beaten up. I would like either compensation or expulsion." Syl said calmly.

"It wasn't one sided!"

"Then prove it. The camera doesn't lie. You were the one who punched me first either way. Even if you can prove it then I would still like compensation for you starting a fight with your kouhai for no reason."

"No reason?! You said that all the second years were sucking Nagumo's dick?!"

At this moment Manabu's eyes flashed. He also slightly smiled.

"Sujin is right. You three started a fight with your kouhai's. Either way you won't go unpunished." Manabu added.

The three started to sweat.

"However, if you can prove that you did get beat up by the first years. It will be much more lenient."

"How?! The camera broke!"

Syl knocked on his head. 1

"My bad!"

"You bastard! You did it on purpose!"

"No wayyy. How could I have known you would punch me and purposely take out the camera? Student council president. Do you hear this? I think they fell down the stairs too hard and need to go to the nurse."

At this point Sudo nearly fell to the floor laughing. "Pfft~ HAHAHA!"

Manabu ignored Syl.

The three senpai's nearly jumped out of their seats.

"Do you three have any proof against his claims?" Manabu asked.

"... no."

"Then I'll have to concede to you either paying reparations to Syl or facing punishment, possibly explution. What would you like to be your compensation?"

Syl thought for a moment.

"What are the options?"

"There are many. Too many to list. Anything you want can be used as long as both parties agree."

Syl continued to think.

"What will help my class the most?" He asked. He was just trying to find a way to either gain class points or get Sudo and Ayanokoji to learn what they were so he could tell the rest of the class.

Manabu looked at Syl intently.

Syl sat there with an innocent smile.

"... Class points." Manabu said.

"What's that?" Syl asked with the same smile.

"Class points are points the benefit your whole class. That's all I can say."

"Are they related to private points?" Syl asked.

"I can't tell you that."

"Then I would like two things for compensation."

"And what is that?"

"I would like to be able to ask my senpai's 3 questions. Then I would like to decided on the second one after that."

Manabu shifted his gaze to the other three.

"Is this acceptable?"

They reluctantly nodded their heads.

"Then first off. What are class points?" Syl asked.

"What? Didn't you just hear that we can't tell you?" One of the older students scoffed at his idiocy.

"Then you're gonna get expelled. Right Horikita senpai?" Syl asked.

Manabu neither confirmed nor denied. "You guys can't break your promise." Was all he said.

However this scared the other students into instantly talking.

"Uh class points are what you get for this school they involve everything they are super important and…"

"Please slow down. What exactly are they? And Why are they important?" Syl cut in.

"Right. Um. Class points are what determine the rank of your class. From class A until class D whoever has the most is class A and whoever has the least is class D. They are important because the number of class points you have x100 is the amount of private points your receive every month."

"Is that so? Then what's so important about class A?"

"Only class A is allowed the privilege of doing anything they want after graduation; the other three classes are not given the same treatment."

"Hmmm. I see."

Syl turned to Ayanokoji and Sudo. "Do you guys have anything to ask for the last question?"

Sudo was stunned with all the new information and was still processing everything.

Ayanokoji just looked at Syl. "Who's Nagumo?"

Syl smiled. "The leader of the second years."

"How do you know that?"

"Simple." Syl whispered to Ayanokoji so the others in the room wouldn't hear. "I just watched people. You can learn a lot by seeing other peoples reactions or piecing together small bits of information. I just heard a few second years talking about what a pain in the ass Nagumo is. Then I heard someone else say that he was a good boss for the second years and figured that he was the leader. I might not be the smartest or most athletic, but I do have one skill I'm confident in. I can pick up on certain nuances well and read people fairly well."

Ayanokoji nodded. "Then what's your read on me?"

Syl smiled. "You are… a normal highschool student."

Ayanokoji was shocked!

He had a crazy expression on his face! It was the same as always! He had no reaction!

Ayanokoji was wondering weather to tell Syl that he was horrible at reading people because Ayanokoji was anything but a normal student or weather he should be proud of himself for fooling someone into believing he was normal. 6

"Anyway. What do you want to ask?" Syl asked.

Ayanokoji looked at Manabu. "Can I ask you something instead?"

Manabu looked at him. "You can but I won't promise an answer."

"Do you know Horikita Suzune?" Ayanokoji wasted no time asking his question.

Manabu was silent for a few moments before he responded.

"She is my sister."

"I see."

"..."

The room went quiet.

Syl clapped his hand together. "Well then, can I get some class points from you three?"

"What?! NO! Nagumo would kill us!" they cowered at the idea.

Syl had a serious expression on his face as he was deep in thought.

Then he turned to Manabu. "Is murder legal here?" 1

"Obviously not."

"Hmmm then why are they so scared?" Syl stroked his non-existent beard in deep thought. 2

The three older student weren't sure weather to be pissed or shocked when Sudo nodded along with Syl's question.

"Enough. What is the second form of compensation? I have other things to do." Manabu said.

Syl sighed. "Then 300,000 private points, just 100,000 each."

"300,000! That's way to much!"

Syl nodded. "You're right. Half a million is better."

"That's more!"

"Hmm then only 600,000. A measly 200,000 per person."

"That's insane! Do you know how much that is?"

"Just two months worth of private points."

"No it's not! Only class A has over 1000 class points! That's 4 months worth for us!"

Syl smiled. "Is that so? Then assuming that we will have 1000 class points by the end of the month is a bad idea…"

Chasibara was watching this with excitement. This kid figured out so much already. He was a natural! He really might bring her to class A! She quickly noted that she needed to test other promising students and possibly build up a force.

"We'll do 300,000 points! But that's all we can do!"

"Hmmm. No. 400,000 is the lowest I'll go."

The three grit their teeth. "Fine."

Syl smiled. "Great! See you all later!"

He stood up and left. He was super excited to get home.

On his way back he noticed a notification he missed earlier.

[Ding! Host helped Ayanokoji Kiyotaka with his goal to learn about normal high school students. Reward x1 spin.]

'Cool!'

[Spinning…]

[Ding! Host has received (Pink bunny slippers) x1] 10

Syl was shocked. He looked around before taking them out of his system storage and putting them on.

"Hahaha! These are great! So comfy!" 2

He walked home happily. 2

Chapter 6: Chapter 6

Syl finally got to his dorm room.

He checked his phone and he had received the 400,000 points.

He had a smile on his face and sent both Ayanokoji and Sudo 50,000 points each with a text.

'Thanks for helping me out!'

Both of them were surprised to receive the points.

Syl finally got to his bed and flopped onto his mattress.

"What a day!" 1

He entered highschool, got to meet his favourite characters, got a system, got beat up, then got a huge payday!

He also got pink bunny slippers!

He really liked the slippers…

Anyway!

Syl suddenly sat up. The eyedrops!

He nearly forgot!

He quickly put the two eyedrops into the eyedroppers he bought from the store and put them in immediately.

He felt a warm sensation in his body and he started glowing.

Good thing he was alone…

That would be one hell of an explanation!

'Why are you glowing yellow?!?!'

'Uhh… Plutonium??' 5

He would be fucked!

Syl eventually stopped glowing and his body returned to normal… ish.

He was now slightly more muscular and had a sharper jawline. His pitch black hair grew out a few inches and was a lot smoother. His eyes became sharper and a more vibrant yellow, almost like they were glowing. He also grew an inch! He was now 5,6! 38

So lucky! 3

He also had every single muscle in his body grow slightly and compact. As they became a lot stronger instantly. He now had a perfect lean physique! If you had to describe it, it would be like a sleeper build! In normal clothes he looked like a normal everyday boy… but if you take them off or he flexes you can see his great physique!

After about 30 minutes of admiring himself in the mirror Syl finally came back to his senses.

"Hey system, two questions."

[Yes host?]

"Do you have a name?"

[I am the system. My name is the system]

"Alright, I'll call you Sys then!"

You could hear gears grinding, almost like teeth.

[... Thanks… host…it's great] 9

The system struggled to lie. In case you couldn't tell. Syl was terrible at naming things!

A moment of silence for his future kids. 11

…

Anyway!

Syl smiled happily. "Glad you like it!"

[... love it.]

"So, Sys! Wait, maybe I should call you Tem instead!" Syl thought for a moment. "Nah, Sys is better! It's similar to my name!"

"Anyway! You said I could buy spins with private points, right?"

[Yes. One spin is 10,000 points.]

"What? So cheap! But I got 5,000 points for a single elementary school knowledge!" 2

[That's because it is a high class item.]

"Bullshit!"

[I wouldn't lie to the host.]

"Bah! Whatever! I'll buy 5 spins!"

[Buying 5 spins for 50,000 points… Purchased!]

"Wait! Where do the points go? Won't the school get suspicious if they just disappear?!"

[The System is omnipotent. You will not be caught because the system will take care of that. Plus do you really expect a system who is able to grant great powers to host to be unable to do such a simple thing?] 1

"Simple? That's not simple at all! Unless you can manipulate memories or use magic or something!" 1

[Yes. A simple thing.]

"What?! You can do that?!"

[Yes. It is simple.]

Syl had his mind blown so bad he missed all 5 of the spins. He was only woken up by Sys's voice in his head.

[Ding! You have received. (Middle school knowledge) x1, (Kimetsu no Yaiba, Butterfly Style sword technique) [without breathing technique] x1, (Body flexibility training) x1, (Sleep token) x1, (Makeup kit)x1] 4

"Woah! That's… decent. I guess being more flexible helps with my butterfly style sword technique. I don't know what I could use sword fighting for… I already passed middle school… I can use the makeup kit to cover up my bruises… What even is a sleep token?"

[It allows host to get a good night's rest! Very useful for when you can't sleep!] 10

"... alright. Roll 3 more." 1

[Rolling 3 times for 30,000 points.]

[Ding! Host has received. (Sleep token) x1, (Caffeine pill) x1, (Physical enhancement) [Stamina Boost (medium)] x1]

"... What is the caffeine pill?"

[A pill that boosts host energy! It works just like caffeine! Except there are no side effects! Very useful for all night study sessions!] 3

"So it's a coffee pill…"

[Yes! With no side effects!]

"... So useless…" 2

[So useful!]

"Then… what about the stamina boost?"

[It boost stamina and physical endurance!]

"...In all areas?"

[Yes!]

"Even in those areas?"

[What is host asking?]

"... like in bed… or something…"

[Yes! You will need less sleep to recover and will have more stamina when you wake up!]

"Nonono, like… in bed."

[Yes! You will need less sleep to recover and will have more stamina when you wake up!]

"No like…" Syl whispered something.

[Ding! Host is a pervert! Disgusting! Why is that your first thought?] 1

" JUST ANSWER!"

[Yes. Stamina boost helps you in all areas. Including lewd ones…] 3

"COOL!"

[Host is excited for the wrong reasons.] 2

"You just don't understand the struggle of a virgin boy! Do you know how scary your first time is?! What if it's too fast?!" 10

[...]

"Anyway, can I have the middle school knowledge and stamina boost right now?

[Yes host.]

Syl glowed again and suddenly remembered everything he learned in his last few years of school along with all the stuff he didn't know or forgot. Which was a lot!

"Wait what?! How did I forget this much?! I only knew less than half of that! And I got a 70% in middle school!" 1

[This is all knowledge from middle school you could have possibly learned at the best institutions. You will also never forget this knowledge again.]

"What! This is awesome! I wish I had this for elementary school too… Wait I do!" Syl jumped for joy. "Sys, give me the other one too!"

[Host sold it! You should remember this with your memory boost!] 1

"WHAT?! Why did you let me sell all five?! Those are crazy good!"

[Host… I tried to stop you.]

"You're so evil! Give it back! I'll pay you 5,000 points, 10,000 even more!"

[System cannot do that. System can only trade for other system items. Only spins can be bought with points.]

"... pretty please?"

[No.]

"Damn. Is there anything I could trade in for it?"

[You may trade in. (Pink Bunny Slippers) x1]

Syl froze. He really loved those slippers! This was an agonizing decision.

After 5 minutes of deep contemplation.

"I'm keeping the slippers! They're just so comfy!"

[... alright host. Goodbye.]

"Wait! More spins!"

[Is host sure? This sounds like a poorly thought out decision.]

"What does that mean?!"

[Host sounds like a gambling addict.]

Syl gasped!

"Holy shit! You're right! Get away! Don't let me spin again! This is why I hate gacha!" 2

[Goodbye host.]

Syl let out a deep breath and smiled.

He reflected happily about his day before he drifted to sleep.

Chapter 7: Chapter 7

The next day

Syl showed up to class to witness Sudo telling the whole class about class points. Albeit very poorly.

"... They are like super important for a class! They give you like private points and shit!"

Syl walked over to the group of Sudo, Ike and a few other students.

"Yo! Are you talking about yesterday?"

Sudo gasped when he saw Syl.

"What happened to your face?!"

Syl touched his face and tilted his head. "I don't know. Did something happen?"

"Where's your black eye?!"

The whole class looked over at the commotion. And made various comments.

"Black eye? What happened?"

"Is he okay?"

"There's no way he has a black eye! His face is fine!"

"He's kinda cute…"

"Mhm! You're right! In the class only Hirata is better! Ayanokoji is third."

The girls were already scouting out their targets! It's only been a day! How cruel they could be… 7

Syl just smiled at Sudo. "I put on makeup."

"..." Everyone was stunned.

Sudo leaned in and whispered. "Dude. isn't that like… you know…"

Syl tilted his head. "What?"

"... Like don't only girls or gay guys wear makeup? Or something?"

Syl chuckled. "Maybe! Who cares though? It's better than showing up with a … bruised face."

Syl nearly said black face… good thing he caught himself. That would cause a huge misunderstanding! 6

"Really? Injuries are manly! Why would you cover them up?!" Sudo still didn't understand.

"Bah! Next thing you know your gonna tell me I can't wear my pink bunny slippers!" 7

"... You have pink bunny slippers?"

"Why? Jealous?"

"... no?"

"Well you should be! They're so comfy!"

Before Sudo could respond a couple girls came up.

"Hey, Sujin right?"

"Just call me Syl. I'm used to people calling my first name!"

"Okay Syl! Did you really use makeup?!"

Syl smiled. "Yup! I learned last night!"

"Cool! What did you use?"

"Uhh.. just a little foundation, then I did this…" Syl went on to explain his makeup routine while Ike and Sudo stared at him.

They were both confused and jealous! He gets to talk to girls! Lucky him! But why are girls talking to him about makeup?

They were having their little freshmen minds blown. Women don't always want some huge jacked dude who snorts creatine? What?!?!! They have their own interests and likes too! They aren't all the same or like all the same things? It's almost like they are human beings too! 15

They weren't the most popular boys for a reason…

Syl happily chatted with everyone around him before someone joined in.

It was Kushida. 1

"Hey! Syl, right?"

Syl put on his best smile, he was a little on the fence with Kushida, maybe he should just expel her now? Maybe he should let her develop? Or perhaps he should just let her do whatever because It would make things more interesting.

"Yep! I'm Syl! You're Kushida right?"

"Yeah hahaha!"

"Hahaha great! So what did you want to ask?"

Kushida put her hands behind her back and leaned slightly forward. "Umm, I couldn't hear Sudo earlier. What exactly are class points?"

Syl figured this was probably bullshit. Even the people in the halls heard Sudo… he was so loud! Which was really a problem because now other classes had access to the information of class points. And Syl was sure that Sakaynagi, Ryuuen, and Ichynose. Ahem! Ichinose. Would figure it all out with only a few pieces of the puzzle. 2

Syl was also just happy to have a chance to actually explain what they were because god knows class D wouldn't be able to without Ayanokoji or Horikita. And they definitely wouldn't speak up.

"So class points are basically the most important thing to a class. Because only the people in class A get all the benefits we were promised about finding any job you like and the other three classes don't, there is a competition to see which class graduates at the top. The ranking for this is class points. Whoever has the most is Class A and whoever has the least is Class D. Also, We don't get 100,000 private points a month. We get out private points based on class points. We get 100x whatever our class points are. So it's reasonable to assume we have 1000 class points right now. Also lets say we lose 200 class points, then next month we would only get 80,000 private points each. And I assume if we have 0 class points we get 0 private points."

Syl turned to the person who just walked in. "Is that correct Chashibara sensei?"

She looked indifferent. "Please take your seat Mr. Sujin… and everyone else. I will be beginning class."

Syl sat down and closely watched everyone. No one behaved poorly in class at all! Just kidding! Obviously Koeniji was looking at his reflection in his mirror. But Chashibara said nothing.

Syl was ecstatic! So many free class points just by not misbehaving in the first month! Literally more than any special exam so far! All you have to do is not lose 700 points and this is worth more than any special exam.

Plus this means more spins!

He was becoming a gacha addict… If Syl realized this himself he would say. This is why I hate Gacha!!! 3

Chapter 8: Chapter 8

After class

Syl walked out of the class a bunch of people. Just before he left he turned back.

"Hey Ayanokoji! Wanna come? We are all going to Keyaki mall! I owe you for helping me yesterday so I'd like to buy you a drink or something."

Ayanokoji ignored whatever Horikita was saying when he responded. "Alright."

Then he turned back to Horikita. "See. I am already making friends."

She furrowed her brows slightly. "He just said he was repaying you for yesterday. He didn't actually invite you out."

"What's the difference?"

"It's because you don't know the answer to questions like that, that you don't have any friends."

"... I do have one."

"..."

Horikita just stood up and left.

What a dry conversation! These two were unmatched! 1

Ayanokoji packed up and left with Syl, Sudo, Ike, Yamauchi, and a few other people who were all going to the mall.

After a little while Syl decided to leave early, Ayanokoji took this opportunity to leave as well as he was feeling awkward.

The two walked back to the dorms together.

Syl was whistling and walking with a pop in his step. Not only was he extremely happy to be meeting and interacting with his new friends but he also had so much energy! That stamina boost was huge! The body strengthening also helped!

Kid felt like a million dollars!

As the two of them wordlessly made their way back to the dorms. They bumped into Kushida!

What are the odds?

Pretty good because Kushida was looking for the two…

"Hey! Syl and Ayanokoji! What are the chances?"

"Yeah! It's crazy!" Syl happily responded.

"Umm… Do you guys know where Horikita is? I want to talk to her! I feel like she's the only person in the class I haven't become friends with yet! And you guys know my goal is to be friends with everyone, right? Haha"

Syl played along. "Sorry, I don't know much about her. I only met her once by chance yesterday… and she didn't seem to like me very much. It was almost like she forgot about me… maybe she easily forgets things?"

Syl tried to throw a hail mary. Maybe Kushida would agree with him here and leave Horikita and Ayanokoji alone in the future!

"No way! She's so smart! She would never forget! I'm sure she was just busy!"

Syl didn't know if Kushida's words were just there to make him feel better or had a deeper meaning. He felt that his hail mary probably didn't work…

"Your probably right! Well, Maybe ask Ayanokoji! I think I'm gonna go home."

'My pink bunny slippers await my return!' He silently added in his mind.

Syl left Ayanokoji to deal with the ticking time bomb and went to his slippers… I mean home!

When he got there he got a notification.

[Ding! Due to host greatly helping the class he has received 10 spins!]

Syl was super excited as he watched the wheel spin!

[Host has received. (Elementary school knowledge) x1, (Sleep token) x3, (Caffeine pill) x 5, (Soul Soul fruit) [Brooks fruit] x1] 9

The last one shook him to his bones!!

Yohohoho! Get it? 2

[Congratulations host I would recom-]

Syl instantly took the devil fruit out of his inventory and ate it. Then he threw up into the sink. It tasted so bad!! 7

Syl quickly went to try his new powers… only to realize he had none! He wasn't dead yet so the fruit did nothing!!

What a dumbass!

Syl cursed god for the evil gift! In reality it was his own stupidity! He could have either traded it back in or just left it for later in his storage space. What an idiot!

In order to appease his melancholy the system spoke up.

[Host should listen to the system in the future. I was trying to say I recommended not eating that and trading it in for 1,000,000 points.] 1

'Why didn't you say something Sys!!!' 4

[I tried…]

"Haaa, just give me the elementary school knowledge…" 1

[Yes host]

Syl glew and sighed, at least now he was a master of grade 1 arts and crafts…

Next day.

Syl woke up and got in uniform before making his way to the club fair. He went all alone.

What a loser!

He went up to look at all the clubs. Maybe there was a hockey club he could join?

He looked at the club's presentations one by one and eventually sighed when one caught his eye.

The swimming club! His new arch nemesis!

Syl turned his head and hmph'ed at the swimming club presentation.

'Swimming is for losers!' He thought. 12

He continued watching the clubs and crossing his fingers that there was a hockey club he could join.

Unfortunately there wasn't. I mean it was pretty obvious…

Anyway!

The final presentation started as Horikita Manabu got on stage. Nagumo was standing behind him.

He gave a speech to everyone present about the school and the student council. At one point he glared directly at Ayanokoji and Horikita who were together. Then he looked at Syl a little later.

Once he finished his speech he made a swift exit.

Syl sighed and walked away.

On his way home he got a notification that he had been added to a group chat with Sudo, Ike, Yamauchi and Ayanokoji. He hummed to himself in amusement and went about his day.

Chapter 9: Chapter 9

A week later.

Syl had gotten addicted at this point!

He was down to only 137,000 points from the 400,000 points he had before. And this was including all the miscellaneous items he sold back to the system for points. 77,000 points worth of them to be exact. 1

Syl had a problem…

" DAMN GACHA!!" Syl screamed at the wheel in front of him as it landed on another sleep token.

Over the last week he had succeeded in drawing only 3 items he decided to keep.

(Stealth skill) [advanced] x1

(Tech knowledge) [Medium] x1

(Hacker talent) [low] x1

[Ding! Host please stop! You look like a maniac!]

"You think I care?! Come at me bro! I'll kick your ass! I'll kick your whole families ass!" 1

[Host, you have no fighting talents yet. That would be ill advised. Unless your hacker talent can use it's crtlshiftc abilities to harm me. I don't think you can do anything.] 4

"Hey! It's hard to use crtlshiftc! I just learned!"

[... yes host.]

"I want another one! Give me a swimming ability! I have class today!"

This was the real reason for Syl's madness. He wanted to swim for gym class today!

Imagine being the only guy in the class who couldn't swim! So embarrassing! Especially when you already know how to swim!

[Host. I am taking away your spin privileges for the day. Just like you asked me to yesterday.]

"That was yesterday! Who cares about a 10 spin max! The me from yesterday is an idiot! Give me one more!"

[No.]

"Bah! Then you're my enemy!" 2

[Good luck in class today host! Goodbye!] 6

The system just ignored him. It didn't feel like dealing with the tantrum of a gambling addict in the middle of puberty.

And honestly… can you blame it?

I can't!

Syl eventually relented and went to class. Scratching the back of his neck constantly like a heroin fiend. Gacha is dangerous kids!

He finally arrived in class and met up with Sudo, Ike and Yamauchi. Only to find that they too were in a dilemma.

They wanted to spy on the girls changing!

What shitty people!

Syl visibly cringed when he heard their plan. They even brought poor Hondo into this! Well he was more of a willing participant but whatever…

Syl sighed.

Damn horny teens! Playing innocent pranks by commiting sexual crimes!

… wait.

No, that's just really messed up! It's not innocent at all!

Syl figured he would just have to step in.

After going through normal classes, finally the accursed class was upon us.

Syl met up with Chashibara before class started.

"Mr. Sujin? Is there something you need?"

"I can't swim… right now…" Syl nearly whispered.

"Pardon?" Chasibara asked as she genuinely couldn't hear.

"I can't swim."

"Really?"

"Yes…"

"Wait, so your saying, that by first year highschool and after you reported taking swimming lessons in the past. You can't swim?"

"Yes."

"Even after swimming lessons?"

"I forgot…"

"So you really can't swim?"

"Yes! That's what I said! I can't swim! … goddamn old tsundere." He mumbled the last part.

"Alright. Then I guess you're excused."

Syl grumbled something about her being put in a maid costume as he left.

He stopped by the changeroom and patched up the small hole that the boys were going to use to see through.

[Ding! Host has received a spin for helping the girls in the class!] 1

Syl was still angry and snapped. "I'll do it later!"

He walked out of the dressroom while all the other boys walked in. For some reason none of them felt like it would be a good idea to talk to him due to the expression on his face.

Syl was in the hallway waiting for class to end and ended up running into Karuizawa. Which made a lot of sense as they were both instructed to wait in a certain area.

Karuizawa saw his face and looked up from her phone. "Like, what's wrong with you?"

Syl crossed his arms and pouted. "Can't swim."

"Eh? Like at all?"

Syl kicked a small pebble that was on the ground and nodded.

"No way! How can't you swim?"

"... I just forgot."

"Pfft~! Suuure. Whatever you say~!"

Syl nearly face planted. "I really just forgot! I swear I used to swim!"

Karuizawa laughed. "Hehehehe! Like, even I couldn't just FORGET how to swim!"

Syl sighed. "It happens to the best of us."

"Haha. Sure thing doggie."

"Doggie?"

"Cuz dog's can't swim." 1

"... Yes they can." 1

"No! My friend in middle school had a dog and he couldn't swim!"

Syl resisted the urge to reply with 'What friend?' 1

"Nono, why do you think they call it a doggie paddle?!"

Karuizawa froze for a second. "... No way! Really? Is that why?" 2

Syl nodded. "Yup. Doggie."

Karuizawa frowned. "Why did you call me doggie."

"Cause dogs are cute and fun!"

"Aww thanks!" Karuizawa smiled.

"… and dumb." 2

"What?!"

"Nothing." Syl said as he started whistling and looking away.

Karuizawa lightly smacked him.

Syl looked shocked. "What was that for?!?!"

Karuizawa smiled. "Nothing."

She looked away and whistled.

Syl was shocked! Did she just use his move against him?! And did it just work! What a blunder! 1

Syl grumbled before turning back to Karuizawa. "So what's a place like you doing in a girl like this?" 3

She tilted her head. "Huh?"

"What's a girl like you doing in a place like this?"

"Nono, that's not what you said."

"What do you mean?"

"You said something else!"

"Really? Me? I would never!"

Karuizawa's mouth hung open in shock. "You're messing with me?!"

Syl gasped. "How could you accuse me of such a thing?"

Karuizawa narrowed her eyes and looked at him. Utterly confused as to how to treat him.

"Whatever." Was all she said.

There was silence for a few moments. It got awkward and Karuizawa took her phone back out.

Syl waited for a while. He wanted to be friends with her because he always liked her character but also didn't wanna be seen as someone trying to steal another dude's girlfriend, or make her uncomfortable.

He finally decided to just speak up.

"Shouldn't you be in there cheering your 'boyfriend' on?"

Karuizawa glanced up before returning to her phone.

"What's that gotta do with you?"

Syl smiled wryly. "Well… nothing. I was just trying to make small talk. I didn't really know what to ask you about other than Hirata…"

Karuizawa continued texting. "We're doing fine."

Syl was stumped. What does he even say now? There's only one thing left to talk about right?

"So why aren't you swimming?" Syl asked cautiously.

"...Don't feel well."

Syl was treading on thin ice. Don't wanna poke the beast right? Let sleeping dogs lie?

Syl smiled. "Hope you feel better soon then!"

He decided it would be safer to end the conversation here and took out his phone as well. The duo just waited it out until class ended.

Chapter 10: Chapter 10

That night

Syl was lethargic about his lack of ability to swim and was sitting in his room.

As he was moping around the system reminded him of something.

[Host has one free spin! Maybe it will cheer you up!]

Syl reluctantly spun the dreaded wheel.

It landed on a purple space.

[Ding! Congratulations! Host has received. (Devil fruit cure) x1] 4

Syl's eyebrows started twitching heavily.

"Sys, what EXACTLY does that do?"

He asked coldly.

[The devil fruit cure allows the host to get rid of those devil fruits pesky side effects!]

Syl's whole face was black at this point.

"What side effects exactly?"

[These side effects include: Swimming!] 4

" I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!! YOU SHITTY SYSTEM!!!" 3

The next day.

Syl woke up to 4 letters on his doorstep with noise complaints. 5

Three weeks later.

Syl shows up to class and takes note of the fact that most students are still very well behaved.

He takes his seat at the back of the class behind Ayanokoji.

Chashibara enters class and explains that they will be having a surprise mock exam! Well, Syl probably wouldn't study anyway so the surprise part didn't matter much…

Syl just did his best! Which was actually pretty good due to the elementary and middle school knowledge as well as what he learned this month in class.

After class Syl and Ayanokoji were approached by the three idiots of class D. Who had already earned their nicknames by this point by doing terribly in class.

Yamauchi spoke up. "Yo guys! We are going to hang out with Kushida today! I think My chance has finally come! Hahaha!" 2

Ike cut him off. "No way! Kushida is coming to hang out with me! I was the one who asked her!"

The two started butting heads and fighting over a bitch… 1

Syl sighed. He was glad he knew about Kushida's dark side and didn't have any part of the boys fight over her.

Ayanokoji and Syl both agreed to join the four and they eventually all split up.

Later on.

The five boys walked towards the mall.

When they got there everyone was shocked! Not only was Kushida waiting outside but so was, Karuizawa, Hirata, Matsushita, and Nene. 2

The whole squad pulled up! But only Kushida was invited! 1

Yamauchi and Ike freaked out! What happened? They thought that only there goddess was coming?

Syl thought for a moment. Why are they so upset? Sure she invited other people… but they were all girls (and hirata) but still! Shouldn't the pervy pests be happy?

Who knows?!

Kushida smiled and walked up to everyone.

"Heyyy! I hope you don't mind that I invited a few more people!"

"Y-yeah… no problem." Yamauchi practically mumbled.

"I-it's better this way! Right Sudo?" Ike said.

"Of c-course!" He replied.

Syl ignored them.

"Yo Hirata! How's it going?"

Hirata smiled and happily engaged Syl.

"Great! How was the test earlier today?"

The idiot trio shrank back when they heard this. Probably in fear of there results. 1

Syl rubbed the back of his head and laughed. "So-so! I can't say I aced it but I don't think I failed! And who cares what your grade is as long as you pass right?" 1

Hirata awkwardly chuckled. "I don't think that's the best mindset… But I'm glad you passed!"

Syl waved him off. "What do I need good grades for?"

"University?"

"Bah! Who needs that!"

'I'm rich anyway!' He inwardly commented. 5

Hirata sighed. "As long as you're happy."

Syl smiled. "I am! This school's great! And it's just getting started! It's gonna be so much fun!"

Everyone agreed with Syl… well other than Ayanokoji who still hadn't said a word.

Syl added on. "Anyway, how did all of you guys do?"

Hirata humbly responded. "I like to think I did alright! But I'm not too sure."

Syl waved him off. "Bah! Don't be so humble I bet you got perfect marks! Well, actually those last couple questions were impossible."

"Haha. Yeah! Those last questions really stumped me!"

Syl turned to the girls surrounding Hirata. "How'd you all do?"

Matsushita answered first. "I did good! I think I got at least 60."

Syl smiled. "Congrats! You might beat me!"

Matsushita smiled. "I doubt it. I think you're pretty smart! You even figured out the class points."

Syl waved her off. "I just got lucky!"

Her smile turned genuine. "Sure… lucky."

She went into a thoughtful pose. Probably wondering if her and Syl were similar. 1

Who knows? Maybe they are?

Syl turned to Nene. "How was your test?" 1

"Huh? Me? Umm… It was good!" She called out in a surprised squeak, with slightly red cheeks.

Syl smiled. "Great! I'm glad!"

"Yes! Thank you!" She squeaked again… she seemed to be very embarrassed for some reason… who knows why?

"Well, how was your test, doggie?" Syl asked Karuizawa.

She froze and glared at him as she put her phone down.

"What did you call me?"

"Doggie! Cause you're cute and fun!" Syl said with a smile. 1

"Yo-" Karuizawa's angry reply was cut off by Hirata.

"He's right! You're super cute and fun!" He said with a huge smile.

"Yeah! Yeah! So true!" Kushida added on.

The other girls and boys also nodded.

Karuizawa pouted and picked her phone back up ignoring Syl.

A couple seconds later.

"That's not what you said before." She mumbled.

"What?" Syl asked.

"Nothing."

Syl shrugged like he had no clue what was wrong.

At this point Yamauchi and Ike were desperate because they didn't know how to speak up.

Suddenly Ike said. "How are you guys for private points! I feel like I almost spent all of them already!"

Yamauchi used this. "Yeah! I feel the same! Kushida! How are yours?"

Syl took this opportunity to take a piss! When nature calls nature calls you know?

"Sorry guys! I'll be back in a second."

Syl made his way off.

Chapter 11: Chapter 11

As Syl was on his way to the bathroom he happened to walk past a random bench. 1

"You should watch your back." A voice reached his ears.

Syl turned around confused and looked for the source.

"Over here." The voice beckoned him.

Syl finally noticed the beautiful girl sitting on the bench in a very relaxed manner.

Syl smiled politely, still holding it in… he really had to go!

"What do you mean by that… no more importantly. Who are you?"

"Just a wandering beauty." She said with a smile. 1

Syl laughed. "REALLY? A beauty? Where?" He said as he brought one hand up to his eyes and used it as a visor to look around.

"Fufufu. It seems you must be blind." She commented.

Syl sighed. "Yes, yes. Whatever is your name, oh beautiful one?!" He said in an exasperated tone while throwing up his arms.

"Fufu. You're certainly… unique. Sujin, is it?"

Syl sighed. "Just call me Syl, I used to be Canadian so it's weird to hear my last name."

"I traveled to Canada once. Whistler mountain. I actually liked Blackcomb more. Though I wish it was more of a challenge…"

"You ski?"

"Just a passtime."

"Never thought I would meet a skier at this school. What a small world."

"Fufufu. You have no idea how true that is."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"You're a cute kouhai so it would be a shame to see you leave early." 1

Syl raised a brow. "You say that like I'm in trouble?"

"Take it however you want."

Syl smiled. "I'd rather take that wandering beauty you mentioned earlier instead… if only I could find her…" He sighed sadly.

"Fufufu. You wish."

Syl chuckled and walked away. He was really pushing it. The seal was about to burst!

As he walked away he heard one word.

"Kiryuin." 7

He smiled to himself, what a unique person to meet so early on. Does this mean he's on Nagumo's list?

Syl made it to the bathroom. When he looked in the mirror he saw his own twisted smile. 1

"Things are finally starting to get fun. Hahahahaha!"

He quickly slapped himself in the face and wiped the smile off his face. He didn't want anyone to see him like this.

When he made his way out of the bathroom he couldn't help but notice the person staring at him. What an eventful day! 1

He just pretended nothing was amiss and activated his stealth skill. Within 15 seconds his little stalker completely lost him and he deactivated the skill. So useful!

Syl made his way back to the group and rejoined the conversation. Talking about everyone's private points and this and that.

Eventually everyone went home. It was a good day so Syl decided to do a spin!

[Ding! Host has received. (enhanced smell) [god] x1] 3

"Well, it could be worse…"

Syl glowed yellow for a moment before he gagged.

"I smell so bad! Why didn't anyone tell me! No girl is gonna want me at this rate! Gotta shower!"

Syl showered for 2 hours that day and washed up at least 15 times… 4

The next day!

Syl showed up to class and watched Chashibara walk into class with a slight smile on her face.

Everyone started freaking out. Was it raining upward? Maybe it was opposite day! Chashibara never smiles! Maybe it's the end of the world!

Horikita in front of Syl just raised a brow, Ayanokoji had no reaction.

"You all have spent exactly 1 month at this school. Congratulations on staying in school."

"..."

"You all have checked your balance, I assume."

Everyone except Syl nodded. He hadn't so he took out his phone to see 124,674 points.

He frowned.

He should have more.

He raised his hand.

"Yes, Mr. Sujin?"

"How many class points do we have?"

"I was just getting to that. You currently have 541 Class points and are still class 1-D. I assume I don't need to explain what class points are to you all?" 1

The whole class nodded.

"Then let's get on with class."

Yuimura raised his hand. "Is there anyway to change classes?"

Chashibara was silent for a moment. "If you pay 20 million private points you may transfer classes."

"What?! 20 million? Has anyone even done that before?"

"No, I believe the most points collected by a single student was 16 million, but he lost those as he was found to have committed fraud."

"Why do I have to be stuck in the worst class? I have good grades!" Yukimura mumbled.

Chashibara answered his unheard question. "You all have been put in class D because you scored the worst results when entering this school. Everyone was put into classes based on their results. The fact that you still have 541 class points is a miracle. It is the most that any class D in the history of this school has had thus far. Congratulations."

The class didn't feel very good about this. They almost lost half of their class points! In one month! What happens next month??

What Chashibara wasn't telling them was that due to the first year students learning about class points too early their behaviour was all too perfect. So they made each foul worth 10x what it usually is. Which means that in reality they should have lost less than 50 class points this month. 3

Yukimura and a few other students argued with Chashibara about the fairness of this school and so on while Syl was looking at the screen in front of him.

[Ding! Host has received 5 draws from class points! Host will receive these every month as long as your class points stay the same!]

'If they go down?'

[Host will get less draws!]

'If they go up?'

[Host will get more draws!]

'Is it just one for every 100 class points?'

[Correct!]

'I see. Spin 5 times.'

[Ding! Host has received. (Sleep token) x2, (Survival talent) [world class] x1, (Blue Bunny slippers) x1, (enhanced hearing) [medium] x1] 6

'WOAH! That's huge! The uninhabited island test will be a breeze now! Hahaha! Sys I love you! But… what would I ever need Blue bunny slippers for? I already have great pink ones!'

[The pink bunny slippers are actually meant for females with a system. You got them by mistake… Would you like to trade them in?]

'No way! Are you crazy?! Those are the best things you ever gave me! Take these stupid blue one's back!' 1

[You have received 10,000 points for (Blue Bunny slippers) x1 and due to system's mistake of giving you pink ones.]

'Spin again!'

[You have bought x1 spin for 10,000 points]

[You have received (Top end Hockey equipment) x1]

'Cool! If only I knew where some ice was… Maybe I'll get it in a spin!'

[... do you really want that as a prize?]

'YES!' 9

Chapter 12: Chapter 12

After class.

Chashibara had just finished announcing the upcoming midterms.

The loudspeakers call both Ayanokoji and Syl to the teachers office.

Syl looked at Ayanokoji. "You didn't do anything to get us in trouble right?"

"Nothing I can recall."

Syl nodded. "Me neither… maybe it'll be fun!"

"... I doubt it."

"Bah! Cheer up! Don't be such a dead fish! Maybe a cute teacher just wants to talk to you!"

"Did you just call me a dead fish again?"

"Just imagine how great it would be to date a teacher! You could never get expelled!"

"That's illegal…" Ayanokoji's voice drifted off. As though he only realized telling Syl this was pointless after already speaking.

"For them! I'm not doing anything wrong!"

"Don't we have to go?" Ayanokoji cleverly avoided Syl's rant! He didn't even realize he was being manipulated!

He manipulated the MC! What a guy! 5

Anyway!

The duo arrived at the office.

Only to run into Hosinomiya sensei!

She giggled when she saw them.

"Are you two Sae's students?"

"Sae?" Ayanokoji asked.

"Ah! Silly me! You only know her as Chashibara sensei! Of course she wouldn't tell you her first name! She's too cold sometimes!"

Syl nodded. "Right? What a tsundere!"

"Huh? What?" Hosinomiya tilted her head cutely.

"A tsundere!"

She turned to Ayanokoji. "So why are you so gloomy? Did something bad happen? Ah! Maybe that's why you're in the office! Are you a bad boy~?"

She moved in closer to Ayanokoji… a little too close for a teacher and student.

Syl clicked his tongue. It should have been him! Chie was so cute! Well, she might have a hidden side… but still! SO cute! He could almost give her one of his pink bunny slippers! ... Almost!

Suddenly someone else entered the room.

"Chie. Please leave my students alone." Chashibara came to the rescue!

Syl cheered her on. "That's right! No illegal contact! Unless it's with me!"

Chabashira furrowed her brow. "No inappropriately touching ANY of the students. Especially the first years."

Syl instantly went against her. "Woah! That's too harsh! It was just a little joke! It's fine if it's me!"

"No."

"Tch." Syl clicked his tongue as he dreams were crushed.

Hoshinomiya giggled when she heard him.

She switched targets and gave Syl a light hug. "So cute!" She squealed.

Syl was standing in a daze with hearts in his eyes.

Heaven!

He was swiftly awoken by Chabashira stepping on his foot with her heels.

"OW!"

He quickly grabbed his foot.

"You should watch were you step." Chabashira said offhandedly.

"Wha-bu-wha- YOU STEPPED ON MY FOOT!!" Syl called out!

"No yelling. Unless you want to face punishment."

Syl sulked. "No sensei." He looked down and pouted.

Hoshinomiya giggled again when she saw this.

"Sae! What did you call these two here for?"

"Nothing."

"Awww c'mon! Don't be like that! We're besties right?"

"It's class D's business." Chabashira slightly smirked before continuing. "It has nothing to do with Class C."

Syl froze. 'WHAT??!?!?!' 2

Hoshinomiya's smile faded. But she acted like everything was fine.

"Won't you tell your best friend? Pretty please??"

Syl was so shocked he didn't even notice the new person enter the room.

"Hoshinomiya Sensei! There you are! Can you help me out with this?" A girl called out as she entered the room.

Hoshinomiya smiled again. "Sure, Ichinose!"

The student walked in and introduced herself. "Hey! I'm Ichinose Honami from class B! Oh I mean from class C! Sorry! I'm still getting used to that!" 8

Syl instantly recovered from his shock and smiled. "Hey! I'm Sujin Syl! But everyone calls me Syl because I'm from Canada!"

The two shook hands. Ichinose looked at Ayanokoji and waited for him to say something. Just when she was about to speak up again Syl spoke first. "This is Ayanokoji! A normal high school boy and my classmate! I'm sure you two will meet a bunch in the future!"

Ichinose smiled. "I hope so! Nice to meet you!"

She and Ayanokoji shook hands before she left with her sensei.

Syl turned to Chabashira and grumbled. "So why exactly are we here?"

She guided them to a room. "Sit. If you try to leave you two will be expelled."

"Then you'll be fired." Syl shot back. 1

"... Just sit."

Syl sighed. "This is a dictatorship! Viva la revolution! Right Ayanokoji?" 2

"I suppose."

"Haaa… What a headache. This is so over the top. Can she just be a little nicer if she wants to reach class A so bad?"

"Why do you think that?"

Syl shrugged. "I told you before. I just pick up on things. Her talk with Hoshinomiya, the way she acts, the fact that I heard Horikita call her to talk to her a while ago."

"I thought you were lovestruck earlier…"

Syl gasped. "You could tell?! DO YOU THINK SHE COULD TELL???"

Ayanokoji looked away. "...no." He lied terribly.

"Thank god!! HAHA! You scared me for a second there!" Syl was somehow oblivious…

"Isn't that eavesdropping?" Ayanokoji asked Syl.

"What?"

"You said you listen to other people talking. Aren't you just eavesdropping?"

"What? No! I mean yes! But it's totally different! I don't seek it out! Think about it like this. If I'm in public and scream. 'I like Hoshinomiya!' Is everyone around me eavesdropping or am I telling them?"

"... You're screaming at them… that's not the same situation"

"Bah! Bacon shmacon! Same thing! If they don't want other people to know, then don't talk in public!"

Ayanokoji just nodded along. 1

Suddenly they heard the door opening next door.

Horikita's voice could be heard.

"Why am I in class D?! My grades, athletics and everything else is top of the class, no, top of the grade. I should be in class A. There must have been a mistake."

Syl mumbled. "Is she really that clueless?"

Ayanokoji nodded.

Chabashira replied to her. "Everyone in class D is there for a reason. There was no mistakes made."

"I want you to review the decision."

"That won't change anything. There was no mistake."

"No. You're wrong. I should be in class A."

"Everyone is in class D for a reason. They are all 'D'ysfunctional in some way."

"Not me."

"You don't communicate with anyone."

"I don't need to."

"But, you admit you have a flaw."

"It's not a flaw if I don't need to communicate."

"Horikita. There was no mistake, you deserve to be in class D."

"Wha… bu… No! That's wrong!"

"There was no mistake."

Horikita was shocked as she slowly walked out of the office in a daze.

Chabashira walked back into the room with Ayanokoji and Syl.

"Understand?"

Syl nodded. "You should be fired for making a confidential meeting public knowledge. I should report you to the chairman."

Ayanokoji followed Syl's perfect logic and nodded along.

Chabashira had a tick mark appear on her face. "Do you want to reach class A or not?!"

Syl threw up his arms in defense. "Yes! Whatever you want sensei!"

She sighed but nodded.

On the way out Syl mumbled. "Damn dictator."

"What?!"

"NOTHING!" 12

Chapter 13: Chapter 13

Over the next few days Syl was asked to join multiple study groups. Apparently even Horikita was helping. Ayanokoji must have manipu- 'convinced' her. 1

Syl declined all offers to join study groups. For one, he was able to pass either way, he wasn't gonna be top of the class but he could score in the 60-70's consistently. Plus his english mark would probably be 100%. He was Canadian after all… 1

Anyway, he also decided to skip out on them for another reason.

That's what he was doing right now!

Syl approached a lone student who was reading a book and sat on a bench next to her.

"Are they that comfortable?" Syl asked.

She put down her book. "What?"

"Benches. Everytime I see you, you're on a different bench. I was just wondering if they were comfortable."

"Fufufu. Usually they help keep flies away. It seems this one is faulty."

Syl scoffed. "I'm at least a butterfly!"

Kiryuin shook her head. "No chance."

"A MOTH!" 1

She shook her head again.

"Bah! Then a mosquito!"

"Fufufufu. Sure."

Syl grumbled over his new title. He should have at least gone with something better! Being a mosquito is kinda… you know? 1

He smacked his palm like he came to a realization.

"I take it back. Lord of the flies!" Syl smirked, proud of himself. 10

"Sure. Mosquito-boy."

He grimaced.

"Whatever! Do you wanna make some money or not?"

Kiryuin looked back at her book. "I don't need money."

"Then help out a friend."

"I don't have any friends at this school. Even my classmates hate me."

Syl crossed his arms. "No wonder."

She raised a brow. "Fufufu. Is insulting someone the new way to ask for favours?"

Syl chuckled. "You must want a lot of favours from me then!"

"..." She didn't immediately respond.

"Ha! I got you!"

"... I just didn't feel like responding. Mosquito-boy."

"I'm king of the flies!" 1

Two people walked past. "Is he saying he's proud of being a fly?"

"Maybe he's a masochist?"

Syl looked crestfallen. "I'm not a fly!"

The two people just looked at him weirdly and quickly walked away.

Syl gasped. "See what you did?!"

"Fufufufu! I don't recall telling anyone you were a fly though? I believe you did that. Mosquito boy."

"At least call me mosquito-man! No just man! Wait no just call me by name! Syl! I'm Syl!"

"If you're just here to annoy me then could you 'buzz' off? I'm trying to read."

Syl grit his teeth. He wasn't a bug!

"Test answers! I want your test answers! I'll pay!"

Kiryuin smiled and put her book down again. "Who said I have them? Plus the test might not be the same."

"I'm not an idiot. Now. Do you want the money or not?"

"Fufu! 50,000."

"What?! That's ridiculous!"

"You're getting the best, so you should pay the most. It makes perfect sense."

"10,000!"

"60,000."

"You're supposed to go down!"

"80,000!"

"20,000 and a kit kat!"

"... I am quite famished. Sure." 6

"Alright. When are you gonna give them to me?"

A couple pieces of paper landed on Syl's lap.

"Where's my chocolate bar?"

Syl was stunned. He handed her a kit kat absentmindedly.

How did she know?!

"Obviously you would need notes. Who else would you go to other than me? I'm the best after all."

Syl stood up and walked away. "Whatever, you Koenji ripoff."

Later Syl decided to go for a nighttime stroll.

He put on his pink bunny slippers and a pair of playboy pants he got from the system to go for a walk. He also turned on his stealth so he wouldn't be seen. Sometimes he wanted some alone time!

He walked around the campus going unnoticed by anyone he happened to pass by. Which was very few people.

He eventually saw a very shocking scene. Ayanokoji was assaulting Kushida! Well… not really.

He stood there for a moment, he had no clue that would happen today!

What luck!

He considered weather to just watch and play it safe or not. But what was he? A bitch? Of course he would interfere. 2

He turned off his stealth skill.

"Ike's gonna be PISSED!" He chuckled.

Both Ayannokoji and Kushida's heads snapped in the direction of the noise, only to see Syl standing there smiling. In black playboy sweatpants and pink bunny slippers. 3

Before Kushida could even get pissed or understand what was going on a few words slipped out of her mouth.

"What the fuck are you wearing?"

Syl jumped back and covered up.

"You can't have them! They're mine!"

"..."

Syl dusted off his pants and walked over like nothing happened.

"Yamauchi too. They might just kill you Ayanokoji." He brought one hand to his chin in a thinking motion.

"Maybe Sudo too? But I think he likes Horikita right?" He asked Kushida.

"Haha! I think you're right! But I'm not sure. Sudo didn't tell me himself!"

Syl was shocked! She was still acting sweet.

She then ran over and hid behind Syl.

"I'm so glad you're here! Please help me! Ayanokoji was attacking me!"

"No.. I-" Ayanokoji tried to defend himself.

"Please save me!" Kushida cried out.

Syl gasped in shock while looking at Ayanokoji.

"I can't believe this!" He called out.

"Syl. Please listen to me. I didn-" Ayanokoji was cut off.

"She's so shameless!"

"Eh?" A cute voice came from behind Syl. 1

"Wh-what did you say?"

"What a bitch!"

"Huh?"

Syl turned around and smiled at Kushida. "And to think you thought I would give you my slippers after pulling something like that on my friend! Tsk. Tsk. What a bitch!"

Syl backed away and pat Ayanokoji on the shoulder. "Though you might really be killed if Ike and Yamauchi find out…"

"...ers" Kushida mumbled something.

"What?" Syl asked.

"I don't want you ugly ass fucking slippers! You pathetic piece of shit!"

Syl gasped. "You take that back!"

"No! You're pathetic!"

"I don't care what you call me! They are not ugly! These are great slippers! They're so comfy!" 1

"Eh?" 1

Syl crossed his arms. "Hmph! You heard what I said." 1

Kushida was extremely confused.

"Didn't you say that you thought you were pathetic?!? I thought you said that was your secret?!"

Syl picked his ear with his pinky. "Did I say that? I don't really remember it… Maybe I did! People forget things often!"

"Why aren't you upset?! Why did you take Ayanokoji's side?!"

"Uhhh… Cause he's my friend. And you tried to threaten him with a charge that could ruin his life? Why would I take you're side?"

"How did you know?!"

"...I have eyes? What do you want from me woman!? I saw you commit a crime and didn't take your side?! Is that so bad?"

"..." Kushida was stunned silent.

"Fuck! So annoying! Let's go Ayanokoji. I'm getting tired." Syl grabbed Ayanokoji's wrist and dragged him away.

Kushia was so shocked she didn't even stop them.

Syl turned smiled on the way back. He waved and called out happily. "See you tomorrow Kushida!"

Ayanokoji just allowed himself to be whisked away by the momentum and waved back at Kushida as well. 2

Who also waved back for some reason. 2

What a happy class! So friendly! 2

When Syl got home he got a notification.

[You helped your classmate Ayanokoji when he was in great peril! Reward 1x spin.]

"Sweet! Spin me baby!" 1

" WOAH THAT'S HUGE!" 7

He felt his body glow and movement engrained themselves in his muscle memory. He felt immensely more confident in his strength.

"Hahahaha! This is great!!"

"Spin again!"

He glowed yellow again and time seemed to slow down around him as his thoughts sped up.

"This is huge! One more!!" 1

[Host cannot spin again.]

"What?!! Fucking spin! I didn't put any restrictions on you today! Spin me!"

[I cannot, host has no private points left.]

"WHAT?!"

Syl checked his balance! It was 4,935 points!

He couldn't even buy a spin!

He was pissed! His luck was so good!

[This is why System says to use gacha in moderation.]

" SHUT UP SYS! I NEED IT! I NEED MORE! 4

Syl pulled out his phone and was about to text everyone in his contacts asking for points. He was even gonna ask Kushida!

[Host, please stop.]

"Bu-but! My luck! It's so good!"

[Haaa… I'll let you do mock draws, alright?]

Syl nodded sadly.

Truly a gambling addict through and through… This is why he hates gacha!

The next day.

Syl got home from school and looked out his window again. After accidentally running into Kushida the other day he was on the lookout for something. He wouldn't let this moment slip, especially not after yesterday! 2

Today ended up being the day he was waiting for. He saw Horikita walk outside of the dorms from his window at night.

Syl was giddy just thinking about it! Maybe he could kick Manabu's ass right now? Black widow was no slouch!

He quickly put on his pink bunny slippers and ran outside! Well, he didn't run. You're not allowed to run in the hallways at school!

Syl finally made his way outside only to see Ayanokoji ahead of him.

Syl didn't call out just yet. He wanted to make a dramatic entrance!

He considered dropping out the second floor window and landing beside everyone, but he didn't wanna have to use his devil fruit just yet… Or break his knees.

Both weren't exactly ideal…

Anyway!

Syl finally rounded the corner only to see Ayanokoji catch Manabu's hand.

Manabu narrowed his eyes as he looked at Ayanokoji suspiciously.

He suddenly attacked, but was easily dodged.

Syl activated his stealth skill and walked up to Horikita (his classmate).

"What's a place like you doing in a girl like this?" 6

Horikita jumped back when she noticed the person suddenly beside her!

"WHO?!... Why are you here?!" She asked after quickly catching her breath from the scare.

Syl shrugged and pointed at the vending machine. "I like to take walks at night, and I wanted a drink." 1

Horikita just turned her head away from Syl and back to the fight, ignoring him.

She was too cold!

Syl just watched as Manabu questioned Ayanokoji.

"What martial arts do you practice?"

"Calligraphy and piano."

Syl cut in. "Really? I do arts and crafts!" 3

Manabu and Ayanokoji ignored him. Poor Syl!

"You're too skilled to not have any training."

Ayanokoji shrugged in response.

Syl clicked his tongue and kicked a rock. He wasn't doing anything! Manabu was one of his favourite characters! Plus, this was the best moment in book 1! Well maybe second best after Kushida's total bitch reveal…

But Syl couldn't do anything!

He was throwing a tantrum…

What a loser!

While Syl was lost in his unpleasant mood, Ayanokoji and Manabu finished talking.

Manabu looked at Syl. "Why are you here as well?"

Syl sighed. "Apparently for no reason…"

He was about to walk away when Manabu spoke up again.

"You have already attracted a lot of attention from the second years. You should be careful."

"Thanks. But I already got the warning."

Manabu nodded. "You're an anomaly as well. My sister seems to have made two good friends."

Manabu walked away after acknowledging Syl.

Syl's mood did a complete 180! He was ecstatic! Manabu recognized him! 2

Little did Syl know it was only because Manabu thought he spill those noodles on the camera on purpose in order to lure out the second years and get reparations. 2

Unfortunately Syl really did just get punched too hard and accidentally destroyed the camera… Maybe you could argue that he used that lucky event to draw out the second years and get them in trouble…maybe. 1

But knowing Syl…

I'm sure you can come to a conclusion on your own…

Anyway!

Syl was smiling broadly!

"Hear that? You brother acknowledges me!"

Horikita had an extremely dark face. She was pissed! How could her brother recognize this idiot over her? Life was too unfair! 6

She quickly walked away without saying a word and shoved past Syl on her way out. Bumping into him and nearly knocking him over! She was a really strong girl!

Syl looked at Ayanokoji. "What's her problem?"

Ayanokoji sighed and walked away.

Syl just shrugged and followed him home. 1

[... Horikita realized that if 'someone as dumb as Syl' could be recognized by Manabu then she should reevaluate her situation.] 1

'...'

[Anyway!]

'... that friendless loser!' 1

[Would host like to spin?]

'YES!!'

Syl took out his anger by spinning the wheel! Truly a gambling addict! What a lovely sight to see! Gacha takes another victim!

[Host has received! (Acting talent) [From Yutori Kokorogi] x1, (Indomitable spirit) x1] 6

"Good! I deserve this!" 1

Syl suddenly glowed yellow and felt slightly different. He now felt like nothing could stop him! He would never yield in the face of adversity! He could do anything! He also felt his work ethic go way up! But only for things he really wanted to do. No studying yet…

What a foolish kid!

Syl was going over his new rewards when he suddenly received a text.

[I would like to meet up with you.] -Kushida

An unexpected encounter!

Just kidding! This was super predictable!

But Syl was still shocked! He forgot all about that whole mess with Kushida! Even though he has a memory boost from the system! Maybe his memory was just that bad before…

Or maybe he was just an idiot! 1

Both were very feasible…

Later that day, Syl made his way to a cafeteria.

He spotted Ayanokoji and Kushida sitting at a table. Not saying a word to each other.

It looked really awkward.

Syl ignored the awkward atmosphere and happily made his way over.

"How are my two favourite classmates doing on this fine day?" He asked with a smile.

"Great! I was just talking to Ayanokoji about the upcoming midterms. I heard that Horikita was trying to make a study group, but ended up failing." Kushida said as she stood up to great Syl.

Syl chuckled. "I guess even she isn't perfect."

"Definitely not!" Kushida replied with a smile.

Syl turned to Ayanokoji and spoke loudly. "I'm surprised Ike hasn't killed you yet! You're so lucky! You were able to touch Kushida's b-" 1

Kushida clamped her hand down on Syl's mouth, muffling his next words.

"Haha! We don't need to talk about that right now, do we?" Kushida asked with a dangerous smile.

Syl tilted his head. "Isn't that why you called me? I thought you two might even start dating!"

Kushida grit her teeth. "Hahaha! What a funny joke! Please sit down!"

Syl smiled inwardly and took his seat. Kushida was too easy to piss off! Plus she couldn't do anything about it! This was so much fun!

Syl sat down in the empty seat that was left for him.

Kushida followed suit and took her seat as well, taking a sip from her mug.

She finally finished her sip before looking at the two boys and commanding. "Now choose."

"..." Neither of them replied for a few seconds.

Kushida cleared her throat. "I asked you to choose."

"Well, actually you demanded…" Syl trailed off.

"Just choose."

"..." Both boys stayed silent for a while.

Finally Syl leaned in toward Ayanokoji.

"What are we choosing?"

"Kushida or Horikita."

Syl nodded in understanding.

"..." Neither one said anything for a while.

Syl leaned back in.

"Uhh… what about them?"

"Which one to side with." Ayanokoji answered.

Syl looked lost in thought. "... I see"

"..." Some more time passed.

Syl once again asked Ayanokoji a question.

"Why?" 1

"Didn't you tell him anything?!" Kushida practically shouted.

"You told me not to tell anyone…" Ayanokoji replied.

"... you actually didn't tell anyone? Not even Syl, who saw us?"

Ayanokoji shook his head in denial.

Kushida was suspicious. Maybe he really wouldn't tell anyone…

No! She couldn't take the risk! She had to protect her new school life!

She looked at Syl. "I'm going to expel Horikita."

"... cool. Good luck with that."

He got up like he was gonna leave.

"Where are you going?" Kushida raised her voice, still speaking in a cute accent.

"Home." Syl shrugged.

"Does that mean you're my enemy?"

Syl sighed and sat back down.

"That's what I thought. Someone like you couldn't be my enemy." Kushida snarled before immediately smiling again.

"Yea, yea whatever. What would you like Mrs. Angel?" 1

"I'm not a Mrs."

"... and you ARE an angel? It was obviously a hyperbole…"

Kushida pouted cutely. "That's not very nice…"

Syl was expressionless. Kushida's charms were completely useless on him. After all, before they died, his parents always told him, 'don't stick your dick in crazy.'! 9

What a weird life lesson to learn from your parents…

Anyway!

"So what do you want, miss Angel?" Syl asked again.

"Pick a side. Horikita or me." Kushida said again, she was very confident that Syl would take her side. After all, who would take the side of the unsociable mean girl over the angel everyone loves?

Only a loser!

Unfortunately for her… Syl was a loser!

"Why should I pick either?" Syl asked.

"We can't coexist at this school."

"Why?"

"Horikita knows too much."

Syl looked at Ayanokoji. "Does she think we're dumb?"

Ayanokoji didn't respond, although he did completely understand Syl's line of thinking. Obviously both of them also already knew too much! They would 100% be Kushida's next target!

Kushida spoke up. "What do you mean?"

Syl shook his head, he was sure Ayanokoji also understood. "Nevermind. What are we even picking sides for?"

"I will expel Horikita Suzune."

Syl laughed! "Hahaha! Good one! Seriously thought, I have something to do soon, so please keep the jokes to a minimum."

"I'm serious!"

"... yeah. Good luck with that one." Syl was about to get up to leave again when Kushida tightly grabbed his wrist and dragged him back.

Syl gasped. "Stop! Now Ike and Yamauchi are gonna kill me as well! I gotta wash my hands! They can tell by your scent! If they smell me I'm dead! We'll both be dead, Ayanokoji!"

"Why me?" He asked.

"There's no way I'm going down alone! If I get caught, you're coming with me! That's what friends are for, right?"

"... is that so?" Ayanokoji pondered why friends were such a troublesome thing. He reluctantly decided he had to help Syl out, otherwise he would be dragged down too. 3

"Kushida, could you please explain what exactly you are asking of us?" Ayanokoji finally spoke up.

Kushida smiled. "It seems you two are finally understanding your positions. I have the support of all our classmates after all…"

Syl hummed. Did she really? Syl was a pretty social dude, he had a bunch of friends in the class. Sudo, Ike, Yamauchi, Hirata, Ayanokoji, and a few others. He was also on pretty good terms with most of the girls, especially after he talked to a bunch of them about makeup. He was also pretty sure Nene had a crush on him.

Sure Kushida might know more people and be seen as an angel, but that's a double edged sword. Being the class's angel means you can only be nice. Which makes attacking others really hard. She would have to accuse Syl of something in order to gain the class's support and Syl had a feeling that things wouldn't go exactly as she wanted.

Alas, he would never say this out loud.

Neither would Ayanokoji who was sitting right next to Syl and thinking the exact same thing.

Kushida continued on. "... I am going to expel Horikita from this school."

"Wouldn't that be detrimental to the class?" Ayanokoji asked.

"I don't care about reaching class A." Kushida shrugged.

"Then why would we help you?"

"Because I can destroy this class with just a few words. Plus, I have no reason not to reach class A. Once I expel who I need to I promise I will do everything I can to reach class A with everyone."

Ayanokoji nodded. "But why do you need to expel Horikita? She doesn't even seem to remember you."

"But what if she does? I just can't have someone who might know about me walking around and threatening my school life."

Syl chimed in. "Why not write up a contract? Get Chabashira to verify it. Something like, if Horikita ever reveals anything then she will be instantly expelled."

"Do you really think she would sign that?" Kushida asked.

"You'd be surprised." Syl replied.

"Either way, it won't work, it's too stressful for me. I need to have complete peace of mind."

"So you are 100% set on expelling her?" Syl asked.

"Yes."

Syl sighed. "Well, good luck."

"Why?"

"Cause you're gonna need it." Syl leaned back in his chair, seemingly uninterested.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Kushida asked. Ayanokoji was interested too, although he didn't show it on his face.

"Well, for one. She's better than you."

"What?" Kushida asked in an eerie voice.

Her tone was so cold it could freeze Steve Rogers! 4

"She's better than you. At literally everything." Syl said with a smirk on his face as he put his hands behind his head and closed his eyes.

"She. Is. Not!" Kushida spat out.

"She is. You know it yourself, you're no match for her." Syl said, as he opened an eye to peek at Ayanokoji's reaction.

Ayanokoji saw this and felt like Syl was testing him for some reason. Especially because Syl completely ignored Kushida.

"She's a loner! She doesn't have a single friend!" Kushida screamed.

"That's not true. At least 0.5." Syl said as he pointed at Ayanokoji.

"We aren't friends…" Ayanokoji denied.

"That's why I said 0.5. You're at least acquaintances." Syl smirked. He bested Ayanokoji! He was so proud of himself!

"... I guess you could say we are acquaintances, though Kushida said Horikita didn't have a single friend. 0.5 is less than one, so technically she was right…" Ayanokoji trailed off.

Syl nearly jumped out of his seat! He was bested again! This Ayanokoji guy was too smart! 9

"Bah! Bacon Shmacon! Who cares?" He crossed his arms and pouted, he was clearly upset.

Ayanokoji was analyzing him, wondering where the stark change in character came from.

'Perhaps, he's like Kushida in a way? Hiding behind a staged personality… though I can't be certain yet.'

"Oh my god! You two are infuriating! No one cares about whether she has 0 or 0.5 friends!" Kushida spat out.

"This is why Horikita is better than you at math! At least she knows the difference! Plus you always round .5 up! So technically I'm right!" 5

CRACK

"She's not better than me!" Kushida screamed.

Her hand trembled in rage holding a handle that she had just snapped off of her mug in her fit.

The whole restaurant was looking at the three now.

Syl smirked. "I think I just choose." He walked away. Ayanokoji took the chance to follow him and avoid the eyes of everyone.

Kushida was stunned for a moment.

She then started profusely apologizing and crying about how mean the two boys were to her. Trying to gain everyone in the restaurant's sympathy.

" I-I just wanted to help everyone! W-why did they have to c-compare me to her!" She cried as she paid for the broken cup.

Someone else in the restaurant was silently sipping a cup of coffee while watching this go down.

"Fufufufufu. Mosquitoes always seem to make a lot of noise when they are around." 4

Chapter 16: Chapter 16

Ayanokoji and Syl were walking back together. 3

"Why would you take Horikita's side?" Ayanokoji asked.

Syl hummed. "I didn't really take her side, it was more like I rejected Kushida's offer. Besides, why would I work with the person who constantly lies and threatens the whole class, attempts to frame you, one of my friends, and also just threatened me today?"

Ayanokoji nodded.

Syl continued on. "Not to mention that she probably doesn't stand a chance against Horikita in the first place, let alone the external variables."

"External variables?" Ayanokoji echoed.

"You, me, Manabu."

Ayanokoji didn't reply for a moment. "Why did you include me?"

Syl smiled. "I told you, I'm good at reading people."

"I see…"

There was an awkward silence.

"... Then why would you help her? You two don't get along very well."

Syl took a moment to put his answer into words. "Well, she definitely doesn't like me, but I don't really mind her. It's kinda funny to mess with her, plus, I think she will change in the future… grow." 1

Ayanokoji nodded, he also thought she was on the path to growth, because he was forcing her to grow.

Syl smiled as if he could read Ayanokoji's mind. "Plus, she's one of the best in the class. If she gets serious then our class would become much stronger."

"... So is Kushida." Ayanokoji mentioned.

"If you have a benign tumor on your arm then you don't need to amputate, but if it's malignant, maybe you should consider it?" Syl smirked.

Ayanokoji was slightly shocked at the dialect of Syl, little would he know it came from the middle school knowledge reward… It was a really useful reward! 6

Ayanokoji could see Syl reasoning, but he had no way of verifying the validity. Basically, if something is cancerous, sometimes it's best to cut it off before it spreads, but if it isn't cancer yet, maybe you should leave it be and see if it will go away with some treatment.

Ayanokoji thought it was a fitting analogy for the class, it even applied to other students, like Sudo or Koenji or even Yukimura and Horikita. Who knows who else it could apply too?

Syl did!

But, Ayanokoji had no way of knowing that. All he knew was that Syl was a very mysterious and suspicious person, perhaps the biggest mystery in this class. He decided to once again keep an eye on him, he could be useful… 1

Syl had no idea Ayanokoji was thinking these things. He had something to do today, just like he told Kushida! He had a date with his pink bunny slippers and netflix!

He was gonna netflix and chill! Alone! 3

I haven't heard anyone say that in years… What an out of date loser Syl was for thinking this!

Anyway!

Syl got home.

[You have received x1 spin for helping Ayanokoji.]

[You have received x5 spins for helping out the class!]

'Wha- how did I do that!?'

[You inspired Ayanokoji Kiyotaka to make a move! You also caused harm to Kushida's reputation and caused her to rethink her plan! … she also shifted targets away from Horikita to someone less useful to the class…] 4

The system whispered the last part.

'Cool! I had no clue I did that! Also, what was that last part? I didn't quite catch it!'

[Spinning 6 times!]

'Wait I didn't hear the last par-'

"I'm so awesome! Look at me go!" 2

Syl giggled and bounced around the room like a child.

He accidentally took a deep breath and fell to the ground.

He started gasping for breath! He accidentally used concentrated breathing! He almost collapsed his lungs!

What a guy! He gets a super strong power and almost kills himself with it! Within 30 seconds of earning it!

After a few minutes Syl stood back up while still coughing.

"I have to practice that…"

[Good luck host.]

"... I feel like I'm forgetting something…"

[No way! Host has memory enhancement! It would be difficult to forget something even if you tried!] 1

"You're right! Hahaha! I'm so OP!"

Syl forgot all about it! He couldn't have forgotten anything!

…right?

Ahem! Anyway!

The next morning.

Syl woke up in a beautifully furnished and lavish room! This house upgrade was amazing! It came with everything you could possibly need and a separate room for anything you could want! You could even add on rooms! (in exchange for private points) But it was super cheap! A new room was only 50,000 points! Plus any rooms he got from the system were free! 1

It was like it was meant for a king! Syl brushed his teeth and put his skates on before entering a new door in his dorm room. It was his hockey rink! Olympic sized too! Syl had a blast and played around for a few hours before remembering he had class today! He was so late! It was already noon!

Better call in sick!

… good thing he got that acting talent huh?

Chapter 17: Chapter 17

The next day.

Horikita arrived with horrible news!

The midterms content had been changed a week ago!

Chabashira just didn't bother to tell the class!

What the fuck?

All that hard work everyone put into studying was useless!

Syl was devastated!

Or not…

Syl never studied in the first place so he couldn't care less! He didn't waste any time at all!

This is why you should never study! Only cram at the last minute! 8

(I am legally obligated to tell you this is not true. Do not leave everything to the last minute and definitely don't just not study at all… unless you wanna be cool!) 13

However, the rest of the class (the normal people who study) were pissed! 1

What do you mean you just forgot to tell us, Chabashira?!

That's bullshit!

They would all be right. Chabashira was just an old tsundere who didn't tell them on purpose to test their abilities.

However, this is when Kushida (Ayanokoji) came in clutch for the class! Kushida stood up and smiled at everyone.

"Don't worry, everyone! I heard from someone that the midterms this year are the same as last years and I found someone's old test! I printed everyone a copy!"

She started handing them out one by one to all of the students.

What no one noticed was that the one she handed Syl was drastically different from all the others. Even Horikita's was normal! Kushida actually made the test questions up herself! It had none of the real answers on it!

Syl was fucked! If he memorized these answers he would definitely fail and drop out of school!

How could this happen too poor Syl? He did nothing wrong!! 2

Well…

Maybe just a few things…

A decent amount…

A lot…

He was a dumbass…

Anyway!

Syl was in deep shit! And he didn't even know it yet!

The next day.

It was exam time!

Everyone from class D entered the exam's with a nervous sweat on their foreheads. Chabashira had just made sure to remind them how if they failed even one of these tests then they were donezo, gone for good, e to the x to the spelled!

Expulsion was on the line!

They all sat down at their desks and faced forward, all except for Kushida who was constantly looking back at Syl.

For someone who was supposed to be a great actress, she was REALLY struggling to keep it together right now. You could practically see the excitement dance in her eyes as she looked at Syl with anticipation.

Even Syl noticed!

'She must have fallen for my charms!' Syl thought!

Nevermind! Syl didn't notice at all!

What a dumbass! 1

The test started and Syl looked at all the questions… so easy!

He already had Kiryuin's old test to cheat off of! This was a piece of cake! She got nearly 100% on every test, plus Syl didn't even bother to memorize her English test. He practically had a PHD after all… It would just be a waste of time! 6

Although he was struggling with history a bit. He was Canadian after all, who knows what the Edo period was? He learned about residential schools and the war of 1812! Canada beat the USA in a war by the way! We even burned down the whitehouse! HAHAHA! GO CANADA! 9

Anyway!

He might actually have been in trouble if it wasn't for Kiryuin's notes. Although Syl had all the middle school Japanese history knowledge, this was highschool!

Syl continued to write his tests in peace, he even corrected a few mistakes in the questions on the English test just to flex.

Chabashira would be pissed! Who does this guy think he is to be fixing the tests she helped make?! 1

He's a guy with a PHD in English! He's actually more than qualified to do that! But how was Chabashira supposed to know this? How many 14 years olds do you know with a PHD?! 10

None!

Anyway!

The exam's were smooth sailing for Syl, he had over a week to memorize the answers for a handful of exams. If he couldn't pass…

Chabashira told the students to put the pencil's down.

Immediately Syl was approached by Kushida. She practically knocked Horikita and Ayanokoji down on her way over! 1

She was a woman on a mission! 1

"How did your mid-terms go, Syl? Did you review enough? I hope my test questions helped a lot! Tehe!"

Syl was stunned by the voice he didn't notice as he was focused on his notification from the system.

[Ding! Host has accomplished a hidden goal! Take 1st exam! You have received x5 spins!]

Chapter 18: Chapter 18

'Later!' Syl mentally said as he tried to act normal, which worked perfectly due to his acting talent!

"It was good! But… uuhh… what test questions?" Syl genuinely asked.

He had never even looked at Kushida's test questions. He just stuffed them in his bag without even reading the title. I mean everything you receive from Kushida should probably just be thrown in the trash without even reading it right? So that's what he did!

Plus who's notes would you take? Some random schmuck in class D or the only person in the school to ever have an A in both physical and academics? 6

It's an obvious choice!

Kushida was ecstatic! This idiot didn't even review her test questions! He must have failed! Right?

"Haha! Don't joke like that! The one's I gave to the whole class! They were last years test answers!"

Syl looked shocked! "You gave me those? When?"

"Yesterday, silly! Did you forget that the contents of the test were changed from what Chabashira told us a week ago too?" Kushida asked innocently, secretly hoping he did.

"Oh? That? Yea I heard! I got lucky though!"

Kushida started sweating. "H-how so?"

"I didn't study at all! So I didn't miss out on anything! Hahaha! Lucky me!"

The whole class turned to look at Syl when he said this.

"..."

"Pardon?" Kushida asked.

"I didn't study! So it didn't matter what the content was! Anyway, did you guys also notice the mistakes on the english test? Who wrote that thing, a rookie? I found 3 mistakes! Aren't they supposed to be testing us? Not the other way around!"

Everyone (other than Ayanokoji) had their mouths hit the floor! This guy didn't study! But he was also better than the teachers at english! What the fuck?!

Ayanokoji was just as shocked. Someone else noticed those mistakes?! They learned that when they were 8 years old in the White room! That's like PHD level stuff! 6

Who was this Syl guy?

Kushida was sweating bullets. "So, how did you do on the other tests? How about history?"

She had already stalked- I mean studied Syl and realized that history was his weakest subject.

"Great!" Syl said with a smile.

"T-then math?"

"Great!"

"Japanese?"

"Amazing!"

Syl was actually a master in all languages due to his translation skill from god. Well it actually just translated everything to english. But now that he was a master at English, he was the same for all other languages… It was actually a super OP combo that Syl had yet to even realize existed.

At this point Kushida was scared that Syl would try to use her attack on him against her! If he showed everyone that she had given him the wrong answers then she would have to make up an excuse! Of course she could always pretend to be innocent or say that she made a mistake, but then how do you explain why you have a full sheet of fake midterms with fake answers for every single subject?

"H-hey Syl. You don't happen to know where you put those answers I gave you, do you?"

Syl froze. "U-uhh n-no. I actually…" Syl leaned in and whispered. "I think I actually threw them out. Sorry."

Kushida brightened up. "That's great! I mean! No problem! It's great that you didn't need them!"

Syl chuckled. "Yeah! I also got some notes from a second year who took the midterms last year! So I should be fine! Though it cost me a lot of private points…"

"Y-you did? When?" Kushida asked. This could be an opportunity!

"A bit over a week ago I think?"

The whole class was glaring daggers at him. Why didn't he share?

"Really? How mean! Why didn't you tell us? When I bought the test answers I shared with the whole class! You should have too!" Kushida felt triumphant! She could plummet Syl's reputation within the class!

However, Syl only smiled! "What do you mean? We talked about it earlier!"

"W-what?! No we didn't?!"

Syl shook his head. "Nono, we totally did! Right? Even Ayanokoji was there!"

Ayanokoji was shocked! Is this what Syl meant when he said that he was gonna drag his friends down with him? 1

Ayanokoji was quick to think on his feet, he chose to use the Joestars ultimate technique.

RUN AWAY! 4

"Umm… I have to use the bathroom." He stood up and walked away without saying another word.

Syl chuckled. "It looks like he's still shy! This is why we asked you to give out the notes! Don't you remember?" 1

Kushida was shocked. "What?"

Little did she know that Syl was the one who supplied Ayanokoji with notes a week ago. He told Ayanokoji that he didn't want the class to fail but he also didn't want to stand out as the one who gave everyone notes. Too bothersome! So he asked Ayanokoji to deal with it!

Ayanokoji obviously rejected, but then Syl used a trump card.

Syl pouted, "Won't you help your friend out? Isn't that what friends are for?!"

Ayanokoji couldn't reject! He wouldn't be a normal high schooler if he rejected his friend's request!

So Ayanokoji did what he did in the light novel, he got Kushida to do it. He actually didn't think Kushida would try to expel Syl with this opportunity, otherwise he would have intervened.

Anyway! Back to the present. Kushida was stunned! This isn't what Ayanokoji told her!

Syl smirked. "Feel free to fact check it. Fuka Kiryuin, she's the owner of those notes. She's also a… an acquaintance of mine."

Syl wanted to say friend but he felt like Kiryuin wouldn't accept that.

Kushida was shocked! She was being exposed! How did this happen? Was Syl really that lucky?!

At this point Horikita stood up.

"It seems there was some miscommunication between Ayanokoji and Kushida. It seems like an honest mistake, so please don't force this issue, Sujin."

Syl hummed in thought. She was gonna defend Kushida already.

"No problem then! I must have forgotten to tell you but only told Ayanokoji by mistake! No harm no foul either way! We all passed at the end of the day!"

He walked away slowly. As he passed Horikita he whispered.

"Are you sure about this? Don't say I never gave you an easy out."

Horikita narrowed her eyes and nodded. "She's invaluable to this class."

Syl snorted. "Seems that someone gained a lot of class pride behind my back. Well, don't come crying to me when this blows up in your face. Or do, it'd be funny to watch."

Syl laughed and walked away without a care in the world. 1

Horikita was lost in thought and left right after him without saying anything.

'Maybe my brother recognized him for a reason…'

Kushida was on damage control and constantly apologizing on the verge of tears for her mistake. She kept saying she only accused Syl because she wanted to help the class! 1

What a bitch! 5

Chapter 19: Chapter 19

Syl made it back to his room and decided to relax. He turned on the TV and lay down on his belly. Kicking his legs back and forth in mid air and eating popcorn.

"Sys! Spin the wheel! I'm feeling lucky!!" 1

[Host has used 5 spins.]

[Host has received. (Hide and Seek talent) [Tony Chopper] x1, (House upgrade) [Training Room] x1, (Calligraphy talent) [low level] x1, (Sleep token) x1, (Dawn's Ballad) [From TBATE] x1] 9

"Are you fucking with me? Do I hide like Chopper now?!?!!"

[...]

" WHAT THE FUCK!?"

[At least host finally has a sword for his sword technique! It's even disguised perfectly and only host can unsheath it!]

"Fucking chopper… YOU DAMN DOG!!"

" I'M NOT A DOG!!" A cute voice screamed out from nowhere. 1

"Who's there??" Syl recoiled in fear! 1

Who said that?

Who knows?

Syl just sighed deeply as he glowed yellow. At least his writing wouldn't be so messy now. Maybe it would actually be legible?

Syl pulled dawn's ballad out of his system storage. It had a sleek black look with a perfect rectangular shape. Syl felt like it buzzed the second he touched it. He slowly grabbed the handle and pulled the blade out of it's sheath.

It instantly started shifting around and settled on a perfect blade for Syl. It was the perfect size, weight and shape. Even Syl didn't know this was the type of sword he wanted until he had it in his hands, but once it was there it felt perfect, as if he was missing a limb his whole life but never even knew it. 4

Syl's lips curled upward. He looked at the blade that looked almost like a hologram and practically buzzed with life. He spun it around a few times creating a wave of light that followed the blade.

He looked at the blade that was glowing a vibrant yellow, it was the exact same shade as his eyes. He continued to spin the blade around in circles like it was weightless, creating a flurry of blurry lines around his room as if he was swinging a sparkler on the 4th of July. By the time each one faded he had already drawn 2 more. Within a minute his room looked like it was a famous art exhibit. 2

"Hahaha! This is great! I really feel invincible now!" 2

Syl somehow didn't realize that he would practically never get to use this new toy! I mean how often are you gonna kill someone in Classroom of the Elite?

Never right? 3

But Syl didn't need to know that! Let him be happy!

Syl ended up entering his new training room and practicing his swordsmanship all night long. He didn't sleep a wink! 1

The next day.

Syl walked into class like normal, only he had a new black stick with him. At least that's what everyone else thought, but it was really Dawn's Ballad! Syl really loved his new sword! It was perfect! 2

He got a few questions about his new accessory but he played it off as a walking stick for fashion. Now he had something in common with Sakayanagi! Accept, he didn't need a walking stick at all so it was actually pretty offensive… 2

Anyway!

Chabashira walked into class and immediately walked up to the whiteboard. She put up a poster with all the scores of each student on the exam.

She then drew a line above Sudo's grade.

"Wha- what does that mean?" Sudo asked nervously.

"You have failed your English exam. You will likely be expelled." Chabashira replied.

Syl was curious. Why did she say likely? Perhaps she was already warming up to the students in this class and giving them a hint?

Who knows what the cause was? Maybe she was warming up to certain students?

Syl looked at the scores with shock just like all the other students, although he was shocked for a completely different reason.

While they were all shocked that Sudo had failed Syl was looking at his own results.

Syl's English score was 103!

He got better than perfect?! He also got 100 on his Japanese and Math and a 100 on every other subject except for history. He got a 98…

He was the best in the class! By far! He scored 501 marks! Literally better than perfect marks!

He literally broke the system!

Now, he only got this because he had the answers memorized before he took the test, but he didn't even study the English or Japanese answers because he could do them perfectly anyway. So he really did deserve 2 perfect marks. But still, he was the only student to ever score over 500 marks in the history of this school.

Once again he doesn't deserve this at all! If he didn't have those test questions he would have 100% scored less than 400, even with 2 perfect scores of 100 in English and Japanese.

But no one else knows that! They only see the 501 marks! At this point wasn't he better than Ayanokoji? I mean he was better than perfect, and Ayanokoji was the perfect human…

Anyway! Syl was stunned! He actually did better than perfect! He has been here for a month and already left his name in the history books! What a guy!

[Congratulations! Host has achieved something never done before! Reward 20 spins!] 2

'... huh?'

[Would you like to use spins now?]

'I'll do it later…'

At this point, Syl absentmindedly walked out of class. He was just too shocked!

Little did he know, someone was following him… 3

CREATORS' THOUGHTS

Smol_frog Smol_frog

I need help coming up with a nickname for Syl! I wanna use somehting about his test score today to make him a good one… hmm maybe the Imperfect Human, or the anomaly, maybe imperfect anomally? I don't know… I really need help! Give me a good one! I want it to be cool! (can also be funny but has to be able to be used in a cool way) kinda like imperfect, because it could mean he is worse than perfect, or better than perfect, depending on the context, You know? Also give me good rewards for the spins! nothing too OP tho!

Syl ended up on the rooftop of the school.

A few seconds later the door opened behind him.

"You must be proud of yourself."

Syl just nodded, his mind wandering like a rabbit in a field.

"... You did well."

At this point Syl turned around, only to see the person he expected least to be face to face with him.

"Thanks… Chabashira sensei."

She nodded. "Not only are you the first person to ever score above 500, and most likely the last. You also were able to procure the test answers for your fellow classmates. Although it is unfortunate that Sudo has to drop out, you saved a lot of other students with your actions."

Syl was silent for a moment.

"Was that a slip up then?"

Chabashira furrowed her brow. "What?"

"Earlier you said that Sudo would likely be expelled, but just now you spoke like it was certain."

"I didn't say that. Sudo is expelled. He scored below the failing grade."

She outright denied saying anything.

Syl didn't push the issue, maybe she was warming up to the class without even realizing it, or maybe it was truly just a slip of the tongue, it's not like it mattered at this point.

"How do you feel about this class, sensei?"

"... You are all my students. I hope you all work hard to achieve your goals, and put forth your best foot at all times."

"No, how do YOU feel about this class? I'm genuinely curious."

"... I'm… intrigued, you could say."

"Are you getting your hopes up?"

"... For what?"

"Why, class A of course!"

"You think that you guys will reach class A?"

Syl smirked. "Well, I think that you have no chance. If I'm being honest."

Chabashira was taken aback. "But we are only 300 class points away! And it's only been two months!"

Syl smirked. "You seem to care a lot about class A, sensei."

Chabashira regained her composure. "I was just upset to see a student giving up on his dreams so early."

"Sure. And Kushida's an angel."

"...I did hear that was her nickname."

Syl rolled his eyes "You know what I mean."

"..." Chabashira didn't reply, however she also didn't leave, as if she was waiting for something.

Syl thought for a moment before deciding to speak up again. "To answer your question earlier, I think that the students in this class easily have the potential to reach class A, especially after the head start I ended up giving everyone, but weather this class D actually rises up to class A… that's a separate issue…" Syl smirked at the underlying meaning to his own words.

Chabashira nodded in understanding. "I concur, those are two separate issues."

If only she realized how little she truly understood about Syl's words…

Chabashira just continued to wait.

Syl eventually flashed a cheeky smile and whispered. "Don't look at me like that, I'm broke!" 5

He silently walked away, leaving those words along with a stunned Chabashira behind.

'It seems he already thought of a countermeasure, but wasn't able to put it into action.' Chabashira nodded thoughtfully.

On his way out Syl ended up passing Ayanokoji. "Good luck out there!" He said with a smile as he walked back to the classroom to pick up his bag.

When Syl entered he was only greeted by one person. Sudo was sitting at his desk with a blank look on his face. I mean he was just practically expelled after all…

Only then did Syl notice something he should have seen much sooner. Sudo's mark on the test was 40. Which was 1 point higher than in the original novel.

Syl froze, how did Sudo still fail then? He should have passed with a 40.

Then Syl looked at the passing score. It was 42.

Syl hadn't realized how his mark had affected the scoring. Obviously him scoring 103 points would boost up the average! No one else in the class even got 100!

Syl started to panic. Does this mean Sudo was really going to get expelled? That would be terrible! It would completely throw off class D!

Syl started sweating bullets! What had he done? 1

Now it would probably cost 200,000 points to save Sudo! Syl only had 2,000! Even Ayanokoji and Horikita combined couldn't pay that much!

Unless, they could…

Then Syl remembered he had already boosted the class points by over 500! Meaning that both Horikita and Ayanokoji should have over 50,000 points more now! Plus Syl also gave Ayanokoji and Sudo 50,000 points when they got into that fight!

What a guy! He accidentally took precautionary actions that ended up saving Sudo!

Syl was the real hero here!

Even though this was purely coincidental…

If a blind man accidently bumps into a murderer and takes him down isn't he still a hero? Syl was like that blind guy!

He's still a hero!

Syl cheered up! He was a hero!

Little did he know that everyone's evaluation of him would actually improve immensely because of this… I mean they didn't know he did all this accidentally. To them he was a perfect student, no, he was better than perfect! He scored 501 points after all. He was beyond a perfect student. He achieved the impossible. He was…

The Anomaly! 9

Chapter 21: Chapter 21

The next day.

Syl was super excited!

"Sys, how many spins do I have?"

[Host has 25 spins, you received 5 this morning for your 523 class points.] 1

"Hehehehehehehehehehehehe! I'm rich!!! HAHAHAA!" 1

[Would host like to spin? I would recommend saving spins for a later date or trading them in for private points.]

"Hmmm. Good point, I could use them as a bank of sorts."

"Okay, Sys, give me 10 spins right now. I'll save the other 15."

[Ding! Host has received. (Elementary school knowledge) x5, (Middle school knowledge) x5] 1

"...What?! How does that even happen? This is bullshit! Spin another ten!"

[Are you sure you want to sp-]

"YES! SPIN!" 1

[Ding! Host has received. (Gambling talent) [Yumeko Jabami] x1, (Stealth skill) [medium] x1, (Pink Onesie- with bunny ears) x1, (Private points) [7,500] x1, (Night Vision Sunglasses) x1, (Makeup artist skill) [James Charles] x1, (Premium bluetooth earbuds) x1, (6 ply toilet paper) [infinite supply, (Portable cooking set) x1, (Hacker talent upgrade) [high] x1] 22

"That's a lot…"

[Yes host, that is 10 spins worth of rewards.]

"What do I do with duplicates?"

[Host can share with others or keep them in system space, host can also sell any rewards that haven't been used.] 4

"What the fuck are night vision sunglasses?"

[Sunglasses that allow you to see at night.]

"But like, why?"

[Is night vision not useful?]

"It is."

[Then I do not understand the problem.]

"... SUNglasses."

[I do not understand the problem.] 2

"Bruh…"

"Alright then how about the 6 ply toilet paper?"

[It is the most premium toilet paper available.] 2

"I thought the highest was 4 ply…"

[You thought wrong.] 1

"... Just give me my onesie. I wanna try it on."

Syl was suddenly wearing a pink bunny onesie along with his slippers. 5

He looked in the mirror and beamed at his reflection.

"I fucking love it!"

[I'm glad you enjoy your rewards.]

"You know what this calls for?"

[Host, please don't do anything stupid.]

" MORE SPINS!! HAHAHAHA!!"

[Haaa… yes host.]

[Ding! Host spun 5 times. Host has received. (1,000,000,000 year old stone) x1, (Childcare mastery) [Fatherhood talent] x1, (Customizable pencil) x1, (Size manipulation magic) x1, (1 Year training token) x1] 12

"Did you just say… magic?"

[Yes!]

"Awesome! Use it on my dic- on my feet!"

Syl tried to make his feet grow.

Unfortunately…

[Would host like to use life force?]

"WHAT?! NO!"

[Then host cannot use magic.]

"WH- but I just got it!"

[Host received the size manipulation magic, however host does not have a magic core, magic heart, mana stone, mana vein etc. Essentially host has no way of using magic.] 2

"... THIS IS HORSESHIT!!! GIVE ME MY MAGIC!!!!"

[This is not possible. Better luck next time!]

" DON'T FUCK WITH ME!! LET ME USE IT!!"

"..."

"Sys?"

"SYS?"

" GET BACK HERE YOU SHITTY SYSTEM!!!!"

Syl continued his rant all throughout the night, even with his upgraded room, it was too much for the neighbours.

The next morning Syl woke up to 5 noise complaints…

On the bright side, at least his customizable pencil and Dawn's Ballad combine. It now worked like Percy Jackson's sword, except it was 10x more cool. It also looked like Dawn's ballad when it was a pencil! 2

Syl was still upset about his lack of magic when he remembered that he got a one year training token.

"Sys, can I use the training on anything?"

[Anything that you already own.]

"So I can't use it to train magic?"

[No. You could only use it for size manipulation magic, although you would still be incapable of using it without mana.]

"Use it on (Kimetsu no Yaiba, Butterfly Style sword technique) [With breathing technique]…"

[Ding! Host has mastered a new skill, [Total concentrated breathing] Congratulations!] 2

Syl sighed and walked towards his door, Dawn's ballad, which was in pencil form floated into his hand. Although his telekinesis was useless to anything over a few hundred grams and he had very poor control over it, it was still cool to Syl.

Syl added on a new feature to Dawn's ballad with the customize feature. He turned it into an earring and put it on his other ear. Now he had two earrings, one was a matte black upside down cross and the other was the matte black, dawn's ballad.

Syl smiled as he walked out of his dorm and down the hall. His dorm was on the fourth floor so he didn't have to walk far to arrive at his destination.

A few doors down the hall he walked into a room. He didn't even bother knocking as he could already hear people inside.

"What's up everyone?" Syl asked as he walked in.

Sudo, Ike, Yamauchi, Horikita, and Kushida were all already in Ayanokoji's room.

"Hey! Guess what? I passed! HAHAHA! I passed! WHOOHOO!!" Sudo screamed in joy.

Syl was 'shocked'.

"What? Congrats! How'd you pass?"

Sudo posed and chuckled. "I just had to pay 50,000 points to get 2 extra marks! Horikita set it up for me! She was the one who asked Chabashira about it. She's my saviour!" 1

Syl smiled. "Is that so?" He side eyed both Ayanokoji and Horikita.

Syl guessed that the two didn't have enough points to buy 2 extra marks so they asked Sudo for some extra funding.

"Yeah! I can't believe it only cost 50,000 points! … though Horikita did say that it would probably be more expensive next time. So I can't fail again!"

Sudo seemed to be reenergized.

At this point Ike happily added on. "Thanks again for the study sessions, Horikita! You really saved our asses!"

"I just didn't want to pay the price for a classmate getting expelled. Who knows how many class points I would lose." She denied the praise.

"Aww. Don't be like that Horikita! I know you were just concerned about your 'friends'!" Kushida happily chimed in.

"You were concerned about me?" Sudo asked in a hopeful voice.

"No. I just didn't want to lose a valuable asset to the class." Horikita calmly stated.

"No need to be so nice, Suzune! I can tell you're warming up to us already!!" Syl happily joined in.

"Don't call me that." She said coldly.

"She didn't deny it! She really cares about us!" Syl called out, causing everyone else to laugh.

"Don't push you're luck, Sujin."

"Bah! Just call me Syl! Everyone else does. You're making it awkward by calling me by my last name!"

"Chabashira also calls you Sujin."

"She's a teacher! Plus, you're already enough of a Chabashira clone, at least have some differenicality! Be unique for once!"

"Did you just compare me to Chabashira sensei? Don't be ridiculous." Horikita scoffed at the idea.

Everyone thought about it for a moment.

Finally, Yamauchi said. "Nono, he's got a point. They are pretty similar." 1

"Right?" Syl said.

"Yup." Ike nodded.

"But like, they are kinda different, right?" Sudo tried to defend Horikita.

"We are not alike." Horikita furrowed her brow.

"Ah! See! There it is! That thing they both do!" Syl called out excitedly as he pointed at Horikita.

"That's so true!" Ike laughed along.

"Hehehe. Guysss, stop being so mean! Although, I do kinda see it…" Kushida lightly reprimanded.

"See, even the angel agrees! I must be right!" Syl smirked.

Horikita sat in silence. She was extremely annoyed, but she had promised to do this meeting, so she couldn't be the first to leave.

Syl smiled as he noticed this.

The group continued talking and laughing along with each other… well Kushida, Ike, Sudo, Yamauchi and Syl did. Horikita was just in a pissy mood and Ayanokoji was just there.

After a while Syl returned home, he had forgotten all about the whole magic thing he was pissed about earlier.

When he got home he was in a good mood, so he decided to give a few gifts.

[Is host sure?]

"Yes please do it."

[Host has given. Sudo Ken, Ike Kanji and Karuizawa Kei. (Elementary school knowledge) (Middle school knowledge)] 9

Syl smiled to himself as he slipped into his pink bunny slippers and onesie, getting ready for bed.

[Host still has x2 of each reward left, would you like to give them out as well?]

Syl laid down on his bed and stared at the ceiling.

"No. I want to keep at least one each, just in case I get a girlfriend." He chuckled to himself.

[Then what about the other. There are still students in Class D struggling academically. Such as Yamauchi or Sakura Airi.] 2

"... I don't have anyone I want to give the last one to right now." 1

[Is that so…]

"Yes. You should remember this, Sys. Some sacrifices are inevitable."

[Doesn't host want to try and change that inevitably? You have a chance with your knowledge of future events.]

"Why would I want to do that?"

[Doesn't host want to help his classmates and friends?]

Syl's smile turned evil and he reached one hand up in the air. 7

"Who cares? This way is more interesting." 1

Chapter 22: Chapter 22

It was a Monday morning. It had been a week since the exams. Syl had decided to check out the class rankings.

Class A: 839 points

Class B: 835 points 1

Class C: 791 points

Class D: 523 points 1

Syl was shocked. It was so close! However, what shocked Syl the most was who was in what position in the rankings.

Syl made his way over to the class next door.

He knocked on the doorframe.

"Why are you here?" A random guy asked scornfully.

Syl shrugged. "I'm here to fuck your mom… Obviously I'm here for Ryuuen." 2

Syl just walked past the guy who brushed his shoulder up against Syl in an attempt to knock him over. He should obviously have been able to overpower Syl because he was 6 inches taller. At least that's what he thought.

But Syl was strong as hell! He had been training in his training room all week and had even gone up to 1.5x gravity! He also had body enhancements and total concentration breathing! He was way stronger than your average highschooler! He was probably almost as strong as professional bodybuilders! Though he still looked cute… 2

Anyway, random mob A practically fell over when he tried to size up Syl. What a shame… Maybe I would care if he wasn't an asshole, or a mob character…

Anyway!

Syl made his way to the front of the class.

A man was sitting with his feet on a desk and leaning back in his chair. When he noticed Syl approaching he flicked his hair back and spread his arms out.

"Welcome to my humble abode. Kukuku!"

Syl smirked and sat on a different desk with one foot on a chair in front of him and one foot dangling mid air.

"You must be very proud of your class, to rise up from class C… all the way up to class A." 5

"Kukuku! Are you interested in my methods? Sorry but I don't tell just anyone my secrets."

"Well, I'm not particularly interested in your seminar…" Syl trailed off.

"Kuku, a shame. If you're not here for that, then what is 'The Anomaly' here for?"

Syl looked confused. "The what?"

"It's what people are calling you. You did score above perfect on the last exam after all, I think it's a fitting name."

Syl scowled. "Shut it, Dragon-boy. That makes me sound like a wart!"

Ryuuen sat up in his chair. "What did you just call me?" He asked while returning the scowl.

"You heard me. Don't tell me you'd prefer Snakeman?" 2

"At least that sounds half decent."

"... What are you, Luffy?"

"Who's that?"

"You know, like from one piece?"

"Never watched anime."

"Fair enough." Syl shrugged, it's not for everyone!

"You never told me why you're here." Ryuuen took a hold of the conversation.

"Luffy… Rubber-boy? No… Nika? No… Captain… hmm." 8

Ryuuen slammed his foot down on the desk. "Do you think you can just ignore me?"

Syl nodded. "Captain. I'll call you captain."

Ryuuen was dumbfounded. "... Kukukukuku! Well, at least that commands respect. I'll allow you to call me captain if you want." 1

Syl chuckled. "I guess I should dye my hair green then. I am a swordmaster after all." 2

Kaneda in the corner of the room giggled.

"Someone gets it!" Syl smiled happily.

"Get to the point, Anomaly."

Syl cringed. "Why did I get such a weird name?! I need to get a new one! Whatever, I'll do it later. Anyway, Ryuuen, you seem to have used my information well…" Syl looked around at the students in the classroom. "You even dragged these guys up to class A within two months. I think congratulations are in order."

Everyone in the class glared daggers at Syl. He did just insult them all.

"Kukukuku! Are you just here to stroke my ego?"

Syl chuckled. "Maybe a little… I just wanted to see what was going on. It's not everyday you get to meet the leader of Class A after all… I just wonder if you'll still be Class A's leader in a month…. Hahaha! Who knows? This is so fun!"

Ryuuen narrowed his eyes and Ishizaki and Albert walked up behind him with crossed arms.

Syl looked shocked. He raised his arms like he was under arrest. "I didn't mean any offence! I was just genuinely curious!"

"I think you've seen enough. Get out of my face, Anomaly." Ryuuen coldly said.

"Yes, sir!" Syl saluted and strolled out of the classroom casually.

He walked away before peeking his head in the doorframe incorrectly, like Chopper. [See you later, Captain!] He called out in English. 1

He laughed before walking away.

Albert raised his brows. He was shocked! That was perfect English! Maybe Syl was also a foreigner?

"Kuku. What did he say?" Ryuuen asked without even looking back.

Albert wrote something down on a piece of paper.

"Kukukuku!"

Someone walked up. "What do you think he was really here for? Ryuuen."

"Hiyori… Who knows?"

Hiyori smiled. "Did he pique your interest?"

"Kukuku. He was certainly a unique guy. He would be an interesting prey…" 4

Hiyori frowned. "You shouldn't fight everyone you meet. He seemed like a nice person."

Syl smiled from down the hall, he heard everything with his enhanced hearing.

"Always fun to meet best girl." Syl chuckled. 2

[Is that host's taste? Hiyori Shiina? I can possibly summon other characters with similar personalities if you get the reward.] 12

"You can summon people? Like anyone?"

[Only if host gets summoning reward.]

Syl thought of the endless possibilities.

"But I wasn't talking about Hiyori."

[... Then who? Ibuki?] 1

Syl did a spit take! He didn't even have anything in his mouth! He was just that shocked!

"Do I look like Jared from Subway?" 2

[No, host does not, you look more like Ayanokoji Kiyotaka.] 1

"Then why would I wanna fuck a child???"

[Ibuki Mio is older than host.] 1

"Maybe physically, But she acts like a 5 year old! Her only personality trait is that she constantly throws fits like a toddler!" 1

[Agreed. Then who is host talking about?]

"Ryuuen, of course! Best girl by far!" 16

[...]

"You don't agree? Bah! You're a shitty system anyway!"

sniff sniff Why do I have to get the mean host?]

"What? Uhh, hey… Sys… you don't gotta cry buddy… your a great system! I just uhh… Oh!... I just don't like gacha! It has nothing to do with you!" 6

[Host is a gacha addict, that is a lie.]

"Wha- no! Well, maybe… But that's exactly why I hate gacha!"

[Goodbye host.]

"Wait! Don't go yet!"

[Yes host?]

The system had a hopeful tone, as if he was expecting something.

"Could you at least show me my status before leaving?"

[Host is a bully…]

Chapter 23: Chapter 23

Syl continued down the hall. He happened to pass by Sakayanagi's class.

"They did what?" A female voice asked.

"They tried to provoke me and fight me when there were three of them and I was alone." A male voice replied.

"Fufufu. Is that so? It seems the new class A is very proactive. You didn't touch them, right?"

"No. I just walked away."

"Good job Kito."

Syl heard all this from halfway across the hall. Enhanced hearing could be really OP when used right.

He thought for a moment before shrugging. "You only live once… wait, didn't I die already? I just woke up in a random hotel room looking the same as normal… wasn't I just kidnapped then? Unless I did die… Then you wouldn't only live once… But wait then was I transmigrated or kidnapped, wait what if-"

Syl continued down his spiral of nonsense as he walked in a certain direction.

He knocked on the doorframe.

A girl with a cane looked him up and down.

"Come in." She said with a faint smile.

"Hello, I'm Syl. I couldn't help but hear you say something about Ryuuen…"

"Fufufu. So you were eavesdropping?"

"Well, I wouldn't exactly say eavesdropping… If I shout 'I have 6 fingers!' In a public place, is everyone there eavesdropping, or am I speaking publicly? Basically, I wasn't eavesdropping."

"I don't think that analogy is very accurate. You see, we weren't yelling, nor are we in public. On the contrary I believe that talking in our own classroom is very private."

"Bah, Bacon Schmacon! You get my point. I was more interested in Ryuuen making a move on your class."

"I see. Well, I can't say I have much I'm able to tell you, you are from another class after all."

"... Fair enough." Syl couldn't really push here, he did kinda just barge in…

"Then, nice to meet you, Syl." She stretched her hand for a handshake.

Syl smiled and shook her small hand. Well, it wasn't much smaller than Syl's, he was only 6 inches taller than her after… 1

"The pleasure was mine, Sakayanagi. I would love to play you in a game of chess sometime, should the occasion ever arise."

"Fufu. I'll have you know I'm quite a good chess player. Are you sure you're up to the task?"

Syl chuckled. "No clue! Maybe I'll be the one who takes you down or maybe I'll lose in 2 moves."

"It's impossible to lose in 2 moves." Sakayanagi smiled. 6

"Is that so? Who knew?" Syl laughed and walked away.

Maybe he would get a chess skill? Or maybe he would actually lose immediately? Even Syl himself had no clue! All he knew is that he wouldn't use a butt plug to cheat! He wasn't a grand master after all! 6

Well he probably wouldn't use one… If he didn't get a chess skill then maybe he would have too…

"Fufufu. So that was the Anomaly… he even scored better than me on the exams. It seems like this will be more fun than I expected."

Sakayanagi smiled at the variety of people she had to fight. She was ecstatic that the competition was so fierce, she didn't even mind being in class B for now, that just meant that there were more opportunities to win in the future.

Syl just decided to go home. On the way he bumped into Sakura without her glasses on.

"Hey Sakura!"

She fumbled with her phone in her hands and nearly dropped it.

"Eh?!"

"What's a place like you doing in a girl like this?" 3

"Y-you know my name?!"

Syl scratched his cheek and smiled wryly. "Should I not?"

"Y-you also recognized me w-without glasses."

Syl tilted his head. "Was I not supposed to?"

Then Sakura gasped. "D-did you see anything?"

Syl was kinda confused. "I don't know what I wasn't meant to see… so I'm assuming not."

She let out a deep breath of relief.

Syl smiled. "Well, I gotta go. See you later."

Syl waved goodbye and walked away.

Sakura just stood there dumbfounded.

Someone actually knew her name! And he talked to her! What was going on?!

Syl forgot about the encounter and continued on with his day.

He turned the corner and saw Sudo!

What are the odds?

It's almost like this was when-

Suddenly three people walked around the corner!

They were from Ryuuen's class!

Sudo turned to the three. "Why did you call me out here?"

"My friends told me you were treating them poorly in basketball club, you think you're better than everyone just because you made the starting lineup?! Huh?!" Ishizaki got up in Sudo's face.

Sudo grit his teeth. "It's not my fault they suck at basketball!"

"So now your bullying them? I can't stand for this!"

"Wha- bullying? When did I-"

Sudo was cut off by a punch to his face.

Syl was watching all this and cursed his luck! He didn't wanna get involved!

Syl just sighed and walked over. "Hey! Didn't I just see you? It's been too long? Uhh, what's your name?"

The three class A students clicked their tongues, a witness!

"Ishizaki."

"Say, why don't we settle this peacefully? Eh?"

Ishizaki was instructed by Ryuuen to make sure there were no witnesses. So he was unsure of how to proceed.

Unless, he could also provoke Syl???

"What are you saying, midget?"

Syl was stunned! Ishizaki wasn't this kinda guy! Maybe he was under orders right now…

Syl just laughed. "Hahaha!"

"What? What's so funny?!" One of the two goons called out.

Syl took a deep breath, then thought for a moment. The alliance with Horikita and Ichinose would probably never happen anyway, I mean they were too close in class points, even one special exam could change the scores. So what was the whole point of this fight? To waste a bunch of time? To develop Sakura?

Nothing important!

Syl just decided to say fuck it!

"What do you say about a basketball game?!" He said.

"What?"

"You said this was about whether Sudo was better than you or not right? Then let's do this, 2 v 3, me and Sudo, Vs you three. Winner takes all."

"All of what?"

"Hmmm, all our private points!"

At this point Sudo spoke up. "Syl, don't do this! I can't beat all three of them alone!"

Syl shushed him. "What do you say? Or we could do this the hard way…" He cracked his knuckles.

"... Pffft~! Hahahaha! 'Or we could do this the hard way!' HAhahaah He's like 5 feet tall! Does he want to fight us??!" One of the goons said.

Ishizaki held up his hand. He felt like Syl was joking about the fight and If he couldn't get Syl to fight him, then his and Ryuuen's plan was over, but that didn't mean he couldn't make some money!

Little did he know that Syl was about to actually fight, although he wouldn't be an idiot and get in trouble… at least probably not…

"Let's do it." He said.

"Wait, I never agreed." Sudo said.

Syl smirked. "You really think we're gonna lose to these guys? Ishizaki doesn't even play!"

"Neither do you!" Sudo called out.

Syl smirked. "Who told you that? We Canadians invented ball, eh."

"What? They did?"

"Yea, they used to use a ladder to get the ball from the net because they didn't have a hole in the bottom. I learned in history class."

"So you can play?"

"I used to run pickup all the time." Syl smiled.

The 5 of them all headed to the gym.

When they got there Syl took off his blazer and loosened his tie with one hand.

"Halfcourt, 3pt line clear, 2's and 1's, call your own fouls, first to 21, winners, and we start because we have less players?" Syl asked as he rolled up his sleeves, revealing his muscular forearms. He really did have a perfect sleeper build!

Sudo and the 2 other class A students nodded their heads.

"Sure."

"Wait! What does that mean?" Ishizaki asked.

Syl kicked a ball that was on the floor at a wall, it bounced off and he caught it.

"Only play on half the court, after an opponents shot you have to clear past the 3pt line, unless its an airball of course, 3 point shots count as 2 points and 2 point shots count as 1 point, you call a foul when it happens, don't be a bitch and cheat, first to 21 points wins, when you score a basket you get the ball back, and Sudo and I start with the ball because we have less players. Got it?"

"... I think so."

Syl smirked. "You'll learn as we play." Then he turned to the other two. "You two got the rules right? Teach him as we go."

They nodded.

Then Syl turned to Sudo. "You play forward right?" 2

Sudo was so stunned by this development that he was speechless. Syl could play? Who knew?

Syl snapped in front of his face. "Hey, big guy! You good?"

"Y-yeah. Yeah I play forward."

"Small or power?"

"Small."

"Tch. Think you can play center?" Syl clicked his tongue.

"Y-yeah, I used to in middle school because I was taller than everyone else."

"Good, You get boards and post up, I got perimeter. We can't lose the ball, it's nearly impossible to defend 2 on 3, unless they can't shoot. But they look like they can."

"Yeah, they are decent at 3's, but not as good as me."

Syl waved his hand. "You're not playing stretch-big, just stay in the paint, we need to take this seriously, I don't wanna lose my points."

"Then why did you agree to this?"

Syl smiled. "Because, I had to stop your ass from getting in trouble."

He turned to his opponents and bounced the ball a few times. Then he bounced passed it to Ishizaki who held it in his hands confused. Did he just get a steal???

One of his teammates whispered to him. "Pass it back."

He bounce passed it back.

Syl smiled and caught the ball with one hand.

"Check."

Chapter 24: Chapter 24

Syl planted one foot and stepped slightly forward with the other before stepping back, he did this twice and Ishizaki took a step back, fearing that on his third step he might drive. Instead, the moment Ishizaki gave Syl space he jumped up and shot.

swish

The ball bounced on the ground by Sudo's feet and he looked at it with a shocked expression. That was DEEP! Like 7 feet beyond the line.

"2-0." Syl said calmly as he held up his hand, awaiting a pass.

As he was passed back the ball, a few people trickled into the gym.

One of them was a second year who spoke up. "What's going on here?"

Syl turned on his heel with the ball in hand. "Game to 21 with all our private points on the line, Class A vs Class D. It's 2-0 so far."

Syl turned back around and checked the ball again, before feeling a buzz in his pocket.

He checked his phone and saw an announcement from the Vice-president of the Student council.

"HAHAHAHA!" Syl started laughing.

"What's up?" Sudo asked as he jogged over to him.

Syl held up his phone to show the other 4 boys playing.

[New Event: Student led basketball game! Location: Gym. Time: Right now! Get there before it is packed! There will be free snacks and drinks for those in attendance! Watch 2 Class 1-D students attempt to take on 3 Class 1-A students in a game of basketball with all of their private points on the line!]

"What? How did they even know?!" Ishizaki nearly shouted.

Syl smiled and pointed at the student who just entered the gym and was on his phone.

Then he suddenly smacked his palm. "You think we can get our score on the scoreboard now? That would be dope!"

Sudo and all the others nodded. "Yeah! If the student council is in on it, that would be so cool!"

Syl walked up to the senpai he talked to earlier. "Yo! When's Nagumo gonna be here?"

Before the student could even answer a voice sounded out from the entrance of the gym.

"I already am!" 1

Syl beamed and ran up to him, ignoring the other 2nd years with him, including Kiriyama. "Can we use the scoreboard? It's an official event now right? It's only 2-0 by the way!"

Nagumo smiled and chuckled. "Sure! But I don't know how to set it up!"

Syl waved him off and ran away saying. "Don't worry, I'm good with tech!"

Within a minute the scoreboard was glowing red numbers as the 'home' team was up 2-0.

Syl ran back to the court, a childish smile on his face the entire time. At this point many students had already wandered in. There were at least 50 spectators.

Nagumo had even already arranged for free food and drink coupons that linked directly to his private points for all attendees.

This was becoming a legit event!

Syl walked back to the court when two people walked in side by side.

It was a very odd pair.

Kiryuin and Manabu both approached Nagumo.

Kiryuin smiled. "Thanks for organizing such an interesting event for me."

Nagumo returned her smile. "I didn't do it for you, but you're welcome."

"Fufufu. Don't be so humble Nagumo. I'll take my seat now. I'll also take one of your free coupons."

She grabbed one of the coupons before Nagumo could even hand it to her and walked away, taking a front row seat by sitting in a reserved seat. Though when the person who reserved it came back she refused to move so it eventually just became her seat.

Manabu walked up to Nagumo and pushed up his glasses. "What are you doing?"

"Horikita senpai! Just the man I wanted to see! I think you'll really enjoy this event!"

"You can't just throw an event like this on a whim, you didn't even contact me. I'll have to shut this down."

"Aww, don't be like that! I used all my own private points for this! Nothing from the student council! It's all out of my own pockets!"

"I still can't allow you to do something like this."

"Just relax! At least give it a few minutes before deciding! Some of the first years participating are really interesting! I heard the two from class D are in your sister's class!"

Manabu turned to look at the people who were participating and was surprised to see Syl. He thought in silence for a moment before coming to a conclusion.

"I see. I'll just watch for now. However, don't think you can do this again, Nagumo." He said as he walked away and took an empty seat.

Nagumo smiled, thinking he was the one who convinced Manabu. "Now, let the game begin!"

As if on cue, Syl crossed up Ishizaki and caused him to fall over before driving to the rim and making a layup.

The crowd went wild when they saw Ishizaki fall to the floor.

The scoreboard lit up. 3-0.

Nagumo saw this and furrowed his brow. He turned to the guy who told him about this. "I thought you said they were losing 2-0?"

The guy was shocked. "I thought they were losing too! Who would have thought 2 class D kids were beating 3 class A kids?!"

Syl looked over in Nagumo's direction and winked before laughing to himself.

Nagumo was completely shocked, did he just wink? At me? 4

"Fufufufufufufu!" Kiryuin started laughing at Nagumo.

Even Manabu smirked slightly when he saw this.

They both had the same thought, today, Nagumo was going to learn a lesson.

Chapter 25: Chapter 25

Over the course of the next 15 minutes more and more students flooded in. Syl was able to see, Sakayanagi, Ryuuen, Albert, Ichinose, Horikita, Ayanokoji, Kushida, Hirata, Karuizawa and practically everyone else important in first year. Even Koenji showed up! Thought he was looking at his mirror an awful lot…

The score was now 7-1 and Class A had the ball. Syl and Sudo had a solid 7 point run with syl scoring 5 of those points and sending dimes to Sudo twice. 2

Ishizaki was currently poorly dribbling the ball, but Syl and Sudo couldn't play up on him as they had to play a zone defence. They had 1 less player after all, playing man to man was suicide.

The loudspeakers sounded. [And dribbling up the court is Ishizaki from class A, he is currently looking for any open man, however the defence is locking them down!]

They had even got someone to announce the game! Syl had no clue who it was, but he made the atmosphere 10x better!

The students were intensely watching the game. How often do you get to see Class D steamroll Class A???

Never! They were all enthralled!

Ishizaki finally passed the ball off to one of the others, but the shot clock was ticking down fast. He jumped and faded away from the basket with Sudo's palm in his face.

swish

[He hits the heavily contested mid range jumper! What a play!]

"Shit! He got lucky!" Sudo cursed.

Syl tapped him on the shoulder and caught the ball before passing it back and finishing the check.

"Good D, let him take that all day." 2

Sudo took a deep breath and nodded, he was lightly panting.

Syl hadn't even broken a sweat yet. He was practically superhuman after all. If this was enough to get him tired after his stamina boost and overall fitness increase then it would be very disappointing. 1

One of the Class A students hovered around the three point line, Syl played relaxed D on him, standing at least 7 feet away so he could cover the other man if he needed to. 1

The Class A student took a deep breath and pulled up from 3.

[The shot is up! …It hits the rim and bounces out-wait! No! It hits the rim a second time and a third! And it's in for THREEE!! Is this guy Kawhi?! A big Shot for class A! The score is now, 7-4! All of a sudden it's a game again folks!]

"Don't be a bitch! Just cause you have one more player you wanna play like that? 1 v 1 me!" Sudo screamed out.

Syl didn't say a word and checked the ball again.

He took a deep breath in and suddenly accelerated forward with his butterfly breathing technique.

He appeared infront of the player with the ball and swiped his hand as he bent over knocking the ball away.

[What a play! The ball is loose!]

Syl lunged for the ball once again and reached it before Ishizaki, who was being covered by Sudo could.

[He grabs the loose ball! What a steal!]

Syl didn't even look when he threw the ball near the basket, behind his back, he heard the sound of a palm slapping against the ball before hearing the sound of it swishing through the hoop a second later.

[ WHAT A PASS! NO LOOK BEHIND THE BACK! RIGHT TO THE KEY!]

Sudo ran over and hugged Syl while picking him up. " HAHAHA That was amazing! How did you do that?!"

Syl smiled and knocked his knuckles on Sudo's forehead. "Put me down, it's only 8-4. We still got a game to win." 4

Sudo set him down and slapped his back. "With you on my team this will be a piece of cake! You need to join the basketball club! You're better than our starting point guard! And he's a third year!"

Syl shrugged. "I guess I didn't lose my touch then. Though, I really do wish there was a hockey team…"

Even though Syl got to play hockey everyday at his house, it wasn't the same when you had to play alone. Half the time he got bored playing and went to go work out instead.

He was becoming really strong, maybe the strongest human on earth, in every aspect by now… 10

He could probably deadlift 1,200 pounds.

He was really strong…

But he was also still flexible and had great agility! He was like a speedy guy, who was unexpectedly strong! 1

Syl kicked the ball up and did a few keep ups that even impressed Hirata and Nagumo before picking up the ball and checking it again. 3

He spun it on his finger. Ishizaki reached out thinking that Syl was leaving it undefended.

Syl flicked the ball up and Ishizaki's hand missed as the ball landed back on Syl's finger, still spinning.

Ishizaki grit his teeth and tried again, only for it to end the same way. At some point people just started feeling bad for Ishizaki, the poor guy was getting bullied! Just cause he was the only one who didn't play basketball, he would fall over every time Syl made a new move!

Syl then started dribbling and drove towards the basket. When Ishizaki followed him, Syl abruptly crossed over and stopped driving, only for Ishizaki to continue on for a few feet. Syl looked to shoot but another defender was already on him. He was now getting double teamed.

Syl shot his arm out like he was about to pass to Sudo but at the last minute he flicked his wrist down and dribbled the ball, however the defender tried to intercept the fake pass. Syl immediately crossed over to his left and and drove up the left side.

When the defender guarding Sudo saw this he left Sudo open in order to stop Syl's empty path to the basket. Syl went up for the layup before doing a 360 mid air and passing the ball to Sudo, who was now wide open under the basket. The defender was completely helpless to try and stop any of this as he was mid jump when Syl spun around him.

Sudo caught the ball and made another open layup.

The crowd erupted at the sight of the three defenders being put on skates!

Syl was just too good! He was saucing these guys up! 1

The score was now 9-4. 3

Chapter 26: Chapter 26

Sudo and Syl high fived with huge smiles on their faces.

Syl looked back at the crowd and winked at Nagumo again!

How could he not thank the guy who set this all up for him?

Syl got back up and checked the ball again. This time the double team was immediately on him.

So, Syl passed.

Sudo caught the ball in the post and started slowly backing down the defender before hitting a short fade with ease.

Just because Syl has been stealing the spotlight doesn't mean that Sudo was a slouch! He was one of the top 5 basketball players at this school, in a 1 on 1 situation against a weaker player he was bound to score most of the time. 1

Syl got set back up at the top of the 3 pt line and got ready to check again.

He had the ball passed back to him and he started dribbling around the court looking for an opening.

Eventually he looked at the defender and smiled. "How do you like your coffee?" 2

The defender was short on breath due to the constant running and physical activity so he didn't waste his breath answering the pointless question.

Syl did a little hesitation move before speaking up once again.

"Would you like it with milk…" Syl took a step back to the free throw line and shot a sky hook. "... or Kareem?" 6

swish

"Hahahaha!" Syl laughed at his own joke as the ball rolled along the ground.

Syl looked up at the scoreboard.

11-4

He smiled and jogged back to his position.

In the crowd. Over 200 students were currently in attendance, along with many teachers.

That was more than an entire grade! Without any expulsions!

Even Nagumo was shocked, this had become a much bigger event than he had ever expected. He might actually go broke at this rate with all the free food and drinks he was giving out!

Well, not actually, but he was still spending a lot, probably at least 200,000-300,000 points.

He wasn't even getting to see Syl being trampled on! What a waste! 2

Over in the bleachers, two people were talking.

"You never told me he was so amazing!"

"... I didn't know."

"Sureee you didn't, how could you not know someone like this was in your class?!"

"A lot of students in my class this year are enigmas. They are all very special."

"What's this? Is Sae-chan bragging right now? How rare!"

"I was merely stating a fact."

"Mhmmm. Then you won't mind if I snatch him up? My class could use someone who excels in athletics and academics too! I'm sure Ichinose would be overjoyed!"

"Don't make such jokes Chie." Chabashira said with a furrowed brow.

Hosinomiya pouted and mumbled. "Who said I was joking? He's also super cute, why does she get all the fun students? Hmph!"

Chabashira just ignored her and focused on the game.

Syl had just missed a shot and class A had possession of the ball.

Then Class A scored.

"BOO! Give Syl the ball back!" Hosinomiya called out cutely.

Nearly half the crowd cheered in favour of Hosinomiya's statement. Syl was super entertaining! His play style and occasional commentary were the whole reason everyone here was having so much fun!

"Syl! Syl! Syl! Syl!"

Syl was on cloud nine! How often do you get to hear hundreds of people chant your name? 1

Never! You're all losers! But Syl wasn't! He was a hero!

At least he thought so…

Anyway!

Another 15 minutes passed.

The people in attendance were now nearing 300, over half the school was here now.

The scoreboard read 18-17 with Syl and Sudo in the lead. 5

Class A currently had the ball. One of these players was left open for three and made the shot with ease.

18-19

"Shit! Why didn't you guard him! He was wide open!!" Sudo screamed.

The crowd was starting to get annoyed with this Sudo guy, everytime Syl made a good play he would be all happy, but then if anything slightly bad ever happened he would always blame and get mad at Syl! Even when it was his own fault!

Plus they thought Syl was carrying the team! He had 13 points and a few assists after all, plus he had 3 steals!

Most of them didn't realize that this kind of thing was only possible due to Sudo being there to support him and draw away the defence, get rebounds when Syl missed, get rebounds when the other team missed, make the tough plays in the paint, etc.

The crowd only cared about the flashy and eye catching plays Syl had been making all game.

However, Syl did understand that he couldn't win this game without Sudo, and that Sudo was contributing just as much, if not more than him to this game.

Syl took a deep breath. "Listen, take a breather. Calm down. You can't play when you're pissed."

"Don't tell me to calm down! I-"

Slap 4

The entire gym was stunned as Sudo held his red cheek. With his mouth hanging open in shock. A few girls in the crowed even felt like they awakened something new inside them. A few guys felt the same way too! 2

" CALM DOWN!" Syl shouted.

"Wha-"

Syl pinched Sudo's lips shut so he couldn't talk. "Count to ten." 4

Sudo was silent for ten seconds. Syl then let go of his lips.

"Thanks for that. But if you ever slap me again, I'll kill you." Sudo said in a calm voice before smiling. "Now, let's kick these idiot's asses." 9

Syl returned the smile. Plus, didn't he just accidentally provide Sudo with all the character development he would have gotten in the whole trial period with just one slap? 4

Sudo got the message, you gotta calm down sometimes!

Syl was so proud of himself, he's pretty much just as good as Ayanokoji!

Well, that's not at all what Sudo really learned in volume 2…

He also didn't develop nearly as much as he should have and it was 100% Syl's fault…

Syl was nowhere near as good as Ayanokoji, they weren't even in the same realm…

Anyway!

The dynamic duo got back into a defensive position.

This is where the real game starts! 6

Chapter 27: Chapter 27

Class A started dribbling the ball around and looking for an opportunity to shoot.

After a long time of running around the shot clock was at 4. One of the students who had the ball, drove towards the basket. Syl reached out for a steal but missed the ball.

Even with all his enhancements and training, he wasn't perfect!

After all he was…

The Anomaly! 1

Also he wasn't Ayanokoji, so he couldn't be perfect. 1

Anyway!

The student with the ball drove in past Syl and towards the basket.

Sudo got in his face so he didn't have an open layup, however the student passed it across the key to his teammate.

Sudo was way out of position now, but he had already expected the pass.

He was already on his way to block the inevitable shot.

At the same time as the shoot jumped up to take his shot, Sudo leaped into the air.

The very moment the ball left the shooters fingertips it met the palm of Sudo's hand.

It flew across the court!

What a block!!!!

And Sudo was only able to do it because he was thinking straight and predicted the play without being angry! Syl's slap really helped!! 2

Anyway!

Syl saw the ball quickly bouncing towards the sideline. He charged after it and right before it landed out of bounds, Syl dove and swatted it backwards, saving the ball.

It bounced in Sudo's direction and he picked it up.

Syl slid into the stands and was about to hit someone in the front row when he was stopped by a foot.

"Fufufu. Did you miss me already?"

Syl lightly smiled at the familiar voice. He looked up from the floor and got a great view!!

"Pink! Just like my slippers!" Then he realized what he just said and panicked. "Shit, I gotta go!"

He accepted the random hand that was extended to help him up and ran back to the court.

"Kyaaa! Did you see that? He touched my hand! I'm never washing it again!"

"OMG!! You're so Lucky Sarah! I wish it was me!" 4

Kiryuin clicked her tongue. "Tsk, so many flies. I much prefer mosquitoes." 3

Syl stopped on his heels from halfway across the court.

"I'm not a mosquito! I'm lord of the flies!!!!!" He screamed in the direction of the whole crowd, causing the arena to erupt with laughter. 1

"Fufufu. Never a dull moment." 2

Syl turned back to the play only to get hit in the face with Sudo's pass as he wasn't looking.

"OWW!"

"Oh no! Our lord is hurt! What will us flies do now?!" A random person in the crowd shouted, garnering another round of laughter.

Syl picked up the ball.

"Why is everyone so mean to me?! I never did anything to deserve this!"

He sighed, it must be his good looks! Everyone's just jealous!

He nodded at his own reasoning and started dribbling the ball. He drove to the rim and went up for a layup before reversing and finishing with his left hand. Making both defenders jump in the process.

He sighed again. "Or maybe I'm just too skilled… that must be why they are jealous…" 2

He nodded again at his flawless logic.

Ayanokoji in the crowd could practically read his thoughts and nearly face palmed. 1

What an idiot!!! 1

Syl checked the ball and saw another double team coming towards him, so he passed to Sudo in the paint.

Sudo once again backed the defender down in the post before finishing with a layup.

You'd think these guys would learn not to give Sudo a 1v1! This was the 5th time he's scored like this!

Sudo looked up at the scoreboard.

20-19.

Sudo then looked at Syl and smiled. He walked over before whispering something. 2

Syl nodded and checked the ball again.

Syl quickly passed to Sudo before running a quick route, eventually the two crossed paths again and Syl set a screen.

The defender didn't see Syl and ran into him point blank. Syl stood there like a wall, completely unfazed and the defender fell to the ground at the unexpected strength of Syl's tiny frame. 2

Sudo ran past Syl towards the basket and Syl rolled off the screen towards the other side.

The person defending Syl had changed to guard Sudo when the screen was set so Syl was wide open.

Sudo threw the ball in the air when he saw this.

Syl leapt through the air at a seemingly impossible height for someone his size. It was at least a 45 inch vertical! 2

He caught the ball mid air before laying it in off the backboard. 1

He got so high up he nearly touched the rim.

The crowd erupted in cheers!

21-19!

Syl fell to the floor with a loud thud as he landed on his side. If he wasn't enhanced he would have been seriously injured, maybe even pulled a PG13 or Gordan Hayward! 4

Don't look those up! 1

"Woah! Sarah! Did you see that?! He was so high!! I didn't even know it was possible to jump that high! SO COOL!!" 3

A girl sitting beside her laughed.

"Fufufu. Only idiots don't know that mosquitoes can fly."

She shook her head like it was a shame that she was the only one who understood.

The other girls sneered at her. And whispered insults about her to each other only to be ignored as Kiryuin walked away, disinterested now that the game was over.

A bunch of people from the crowd jumped out of their seats and swarmed Syl and Sudo congratulating them on their win and asking a million different questions.

The duo happily indulged in the popularity and answered as many questions as possible while soaking in the praises.

Eventually Syl spotted someone coming up to him that caused his smile to widen.

"Vice prez! To what do I owe the honour?!" He chuckled.

Nagumo returned the smile. "I just wanted to congratulate you on a job well done. Thanks to you we had a spectacular event that I'm sure will become an excellent memory for all the students. It might have even been a little too spectacular, my pockets are starting to hurt…"

Syl laughed. "Don't worry, I'm sure you can get someone else in second year to pay for it! Well, anyone but Kiryuin, she'd kick your ass. Hahaha!"

Nagumo's face faltered only for a second before it reverted back.

"I'm sure that she would kick anyone's ass! She's a frightening woman." He said with a forced smile.

Syl pondered. Could Kiryuin really kick his ass? Probably not right? But then again, she could be really scary sometimes… who knows? 5

Syl nodded in agreement with Nagumo. "Plus she's a bully! She keeps calling me Mosquito!"

Nagumo laughed. "You're lucky! At least you got a nickname! She just calls most people, 'hey you'!"

Syl chuckled. "Hey, Nagumo. If I wanted to become student council president, what exactly would I have to do?"

Nagumo's smile faded. "Why do you ask?"

Syl continued on without answering Nagumo's question. "I'd probably have to join the student council of course, but isn't the most important thing to attract Horikita senpai's attention and get his approval?"

Nagumo's face hardened slightly. "You could say that…"

Syl flashed him a cheeky smile. "Then it looks like we're both halfway there! Hahaha!"

Syl walked away as he pointed behind Nagumo toward Manabu.

Nagumo looked back to see Manabu looking at the two's conversation before pushing up his glasses and walking away.

Nagumo looked back towards Syl only to realize he lost him in the crowd.

He grit his teeth before pushing through the crowd and walking away.

Chapter 28: Chapter 28

Syl who was keeping an eye open on the situation smirked when he saw this before walking in a certain direction.

"Captain! What are you doing here?" Syl asked with an annoying smile plastered to his face.

"Kukuku! I'm liking my nickname more and more." Ryuuen responded.

Syl chuckled. "Good, good! I'm glad. Hey listen, now that you're class A, why don't you keep your hands off Class D? Eh?"

"Kuku! And why would I do that?"

Syl shrugged. "It was worth a shot, besides, our class leader can be a real bitch when she gets mad! She's like an ice queen! I'm just trying to warn you for your own good!" 1

Ryuuen laughed. "Are you saying you're not the leader?"

Syl looked genuinely shocked. "Me? Really? What gave you that impression? Do I really seem that amazing?!"

Ryuuen was stunned. This guy didn't even realize his own legacy at this school? He was the only person to ever score better than perfect, he had openly insulted the student council vice president, he had saved half his class from failing by procuring test answers for the midterm, he was the student who figured out what class points were within a day of being at school and forced the school to change the rules to punish any infractions by 10x the original amount, and now this basketball game! 1

He really was an Anomaly!!

"Kukukuku! You're a funny guy." Ryuuen just walked away while laughing.

Syl smiled. "I know right?!"

Syl turned away and met up with Sudo and his classmates.

"Yo! How'd you enjoy the show?"

A few of them clapped and gave congratulations.

Kushida smiled. "You were amazing! It was so cool!"

Syl laughed. "Yup! It's a bad idea to pick a fight with me!" He gave her a knowing look when he said this, obviously implying something.

Kushida's smile never faltered. "Hehe! You say that like you'll always win!"

"Cause I will! I don't even know what losing means! Haha!" 3

Kushida pouted cutely. "Don't be too proud, I don't want to see you get hurt because you were too arrogant. I've heard some pretty bad rumors about Ryuuen, he might just beat you."

Syl laughed. "Thanks! You're my angel! I would be screwed without you!" He said as he gave Kushida a light hug.

Ike and Yamauchi grit their teeth when they saw this.

Syl backed off quickly and raised his hands in defence. "Woah! It was platonic! I swear! If you guys are mad at this you should have seen what Ayanokoji did!" 7

Suddenly two deadly auras erupted as the two focused their eyes on Ayanokoji, like predators and prey!

Ayanokoji sighed. "You guys are misunderstanding. Nothing like that happened."

Ike smiled. "Then we can have a nice long chat later about 'nothing' happening. Isn't that right Yamauchi?"

Yamauchi nodded. "I can't wait to hear all about it!"

Ayanokoji just pretended to hear nothing and looked at Syl. "How did this game even happen? And why were you playing for private points?"

Hirata and Horikita nodded along when they heard this. This was the most important thing!

Syl scratched his head. "Uhh… Why was it again? Oh! Right! They wanted to pick a fight with Sudo, they took him to an abandoned building and then started insulting him, then one of them punched Sudo. But I stepped in and stopped Sudo from fighting back and proposed a basketball game instead. Right, Sudo?"

"Ah? Uh, Yeah! I totally forgot that happened!" Sudo was pulled away from his conversation with a cute girl in the crowd and was annoyed at the interference.

"So, that's about it. It was probably Captai- I mean Ryuuen's idea to mess with us." Syl just shrugged.

"Why did you just call him captain?" Ike asked.

Syl smiled. "Can you believe he wanted to be called snakeman instead of dragon boy?"

"No way! That's like Luffy!"

Syl chuckled. "I know right! Plus he's an idiot just like Luffy! So I called him Captain!"

Ike and Yamauchi laughed. "Hahaha! Nice one!"

Syl tilted his head up and puffed out his chest. "I know right! I'm a genius!"

Ike and Yamauchi bowed down on the floor. "All hail the genius! The lord of the flies!!!" 2

At this scene Horikita cut in. "Can you please stop this? It's embarrassing."

Syl scoffed. "What are you, my mom?."

Horikita countered. "Maybe it would be helpful if I was. You act like you don't have one." 10

Syl froze. "... Yeah, I guess. I'm gonna go… See you all later." He said in a disheartened tone.

Everyone watched him walk away slowly, his back seeming a lot smaller than usual.

Everyone glared at Horikita.

"What?" She asked. 1

Ike and Yamauchi sneered.

"Really? You went too far, Horikita." Ike said as the two walked away from the group.

Kushida took this opportunity. "How mean! I can't believe you would say something like that!"

Horikita was genuinely shocked. "... What?"

She didn't even know what she did wrong!

Hirata nodded with a solemn look on his face. "That was too far…" 1

He looked hesitant for a moment before walking in the direction Syl left.

"Like, I can't believe you would say something like that! You're the worst!" Karuizawa spoke up before following Hirata. 1

Everyone else started leaving one by one, until it was only Horikita and Ayanokoji.

Horikita turned to her classmate. "What is everyone talking about?" 1

"You didn't know? Syl's parents died a few months before he entered this school." Ayanokoji asked.

Horikita was shocked. "What?! Why didn't anyone tell me?!" 4

"Well, it's not really something you talk about often. Plus, everyone already knows this, if you had just talked to people at the start of school instead of shutting out your classmates you would have also heard."

Horikita furrowed her brow and walked off in the direction of Syl.

"Where are you going?" Ayanokoji asked as he followed her.

"I need to tell him I didn't know… and apologize."

"Don't."

Horikita didn't even turn to face him as she kept walking forward. "I have too."

"Stop, just listen for a second."

Horikita froze and turned to face Ayanokoji with an annoyed look on her face. "What?!"

Ayanokoji stopped walking as well. "Leave him to Hirata and Karuizawa for now. You're the last person he wants to see right now.

"But I have to apologize." Horikita said simply.

Ayanokoji sighed. While she was getting better at trying to be a good person and engage with other people, she still didn't understand certain basic human emotions…

"If someone insulted your dead mother to your face, would you want to see them?" Ayanokoji asked.

"No. I'd punch them in the face. What does that have to do with anything?" 1

"Then what do you think Syl feels right now?"

"...What?"

"You just did that to him. You are probably the last person he wants to see right now. Leave him alone for the rest of the day. You can apologize tomorrow."

Horikita snorted. "How annoying, I just tried to apologize."

She walked away, in the opposite direction Syl left.

Ayanokoji sighed. That's one disaster avoided… But how would the apology tomorrow actually go? Would Horikita actually apologize tomorrow? Would it even matter to Syl, whose dead mother was insulted?

"How troublesome…" 2

Chapter 29: Chapter 29

Syl was sitting on a bench alone.

He had a complicated look on his face.

"I miss you guys…" He mumbled.

Two people slowly approached him. 5

"Hey, how are you doing?" Hirata asked in a soft voice.

Syl didn't even bother looking up.

"I'm fine."

Hirata and Karuizawa just awkwardly looked at each other and stood around, not willing to take the seat next to Syl on the bench in fear of angering him.

A few moments of awkward silence went by before Karuizawa couldn't stand it anymore.

"Ugh, like, who does she think she is?? She's so annoying, right guys?!"

Hirata had a panicked look. "Well, I'm sure she didn't mean anything, she probably didn't know. I don't think Horikita was trying to be mean."

He tried to mediate.

"Hirata?? Are you, like, seriously taking her side right now?! After what she just said!" Karuizawa was shocked.

She probably didn't even realize she was projecting onto Syl and empathizing with him through her past experiences.

Hirata tried to correct himself. "I'm not saying she was right. What she said was wrong, it's never okay to hurt a classmate. It's just that I don't think she meant to be mean."

Karuizawa was getting angry. "Seriously? What's with you? Would you do the same thing if it was me? I thought you said-" Karuizawa quickly caught herself. "Nevermind. You should just be more mindful of how Syl feels."

Syl sniffled, before standing up and laughing.

"Haha! I told you guys I'm fine! Thanks for worrying about me though." He said with slightly red and puffy eyes.

"Yeah, no problem. But are you sure your al-" Hirata started to speak but Karuizawa cut him off.

"No problem! Anytime, doggie!" She said with a smile.

Syl scoffed. "What?? I'm not a dog! You are!"

Karuizawa giggled. "In your dreams."

Syl chuckled. "Don't worry about me, Karuizawa. Hirata was probably right, Horikita probably didn't know. Ah! The curse of being a loner!"

She smiled wryly. "It's fine if you are. But I still don't really like her, feel free to talk to me if you want to rant."

Syl smiled. "Thanks. Also, Hirata. I love you, but boy do you suck at this whole cheering people up thing. Maybe stick to the class mediator…" 9

Hirata smiled. "Well, I'm not sure I'm very good at either. But, I'm glad to see you back to normal."

Syl chuckled. "Normal… right. Well, I gotta go! My pink bunny slippers await my presence! Hahaha!"

"See you tomorrow!" Hirata called out with a smile as he watched Syl walk away.

Hirata mumbled under his breath. "Does he really have pink bunny slippers? He always mentions them but I've never seen them before… It's kind of like the class's folklore…" 1

Karuizawa didn't hear this and looked at Hirata nervously. "Would you, like, really treat me like this if Horikita did something to me?"

Hirata sighed. "Karuizawa, what do you want me to do? I can't sacrifice any of my class members. I know Syl didn't want to hear that, but he needed to. What if he started hating Horikita because of a misunderstanding? It would tear the class apart! I'm just trying to do what's best for everyone." 1

Karuizawa had an unreadable facial expression. "Umm… I'm gonna go home, I don't think I can make our 'date' tonight, sorry." 10

"Don't worry about it. A lot happened today, you must be tired, I feel the same. But, are you sure? You're the one who wanted to go to Keyaki mall today." Hirata said with a smile.

Karuizawa nodded. "Yeah, I'm just tired. Sorry." She apologized again as she walked away.

Hirata sat down on the bench and looked at the pavement, sighing. "How am I supposed to make everyone happy? I just don't know how to keep the class together. At this rate, it's gonna end up just like… No, I won't let that happen. I've changed."

Hirata looked up with a newfound conviction. He wasn't gonna let this class fall apart.

If only he knew…

Anyway!

Syl was sitting in his room with his pink bunny suit (Bunny slippers Bunny onesie night vision sunglasses) on. 9

He was eating a bunch of comfort foods and watching his favourite shows over and over. Trying to escape his own mind.

[Ding! Host has greatly improved the reputation of class 1-D by beating class 1-A, you have received 10 spins.]

"Sure."

[Ding! Host has received. (Observation haki) [Low] x1, (Body optimization pill) [medium] x1, (Duplicates) x8] 2

[Would host like to see what duplicates are?] 2

"No."

[Would host like to claim his rewards?]

"Sure."

Syl glew yellow and was able to sense his surroundings very slightly better.

Then a pill appeared in his hand.

[Does host know what Body optimization pill does?]

"No."

[It changes the body to be a better version of itself, in every single way.]

"Ok." 1

[It can even increase strength slightly due to optimization of muscles! If you could curl 10 pounds before, now you can curl 12!!]

"Ok"

[It even makes you look better! And boost all 5 senses!]

"Sure."

[... Sorry, I wasn't able to cheer host up.] 4

"It's fine, thanks anyway."

[Host can have a free sleep token and get a good night's rest if he wants. It's on the house.] 4

"Thanks, I'll take that."

Syl swallowed the pill and took the sleep token, falling asleep immediately.

[Haaa… What an insensitive bitch!] 2

Syl missed out on this reaction due to him being asleep, but he probably would have chuckled. 1

Chapter 30: Chapter 30

The next morning.

Syl woke up in a daze. What a great sleep! He was fully energized! He felt like a billion dollars!

"Hahahaha! These sleep token things are amazing! Why didn't you tell me sooner Sys?!"

[Haaa… Once again, I already did tell you. Host just never listens to me…] 1

"Nonsense! I listen all the time! I'm the best host!"

[Whatever host says.]

Syl happily skipped his way over to the mirror. What happened yesterday wasn't even a thought that crossed his mind, he was too distracted by how great he felt right now!

What an idiot! 1

Syl walked to the bathroom to brush his teeth, but dropped his toothbrush when he saw his reflection.

"Huh?? Who's this sexy guy?!" 9

[That is you host. You received a body optimization pill yesterday. One of the effects is to increase your looks.]

Syl beamed. "I'm so cute! I mean handsome! Super handsome! Nothing cute about me! Hmph!" 15

[Host's main benefit with his looks is that he is cute, according to the girls at this school.]

"What? How do you even know that?"

[This is how.]

Suddenly a screen appeared in front of Syl with an article on it.

It read.

[School boys looks ranking. (Survey from all classes and all grades girls)

Rank 1: Nagumo Miyabi 6

Rank 2: Horikita Manabu

…

Rank 13: Ayanokoji Kiyotaka

Rank 14: Sujin Syl

…

Rank 100: Kiriyama Ikuto

That's the top 100 boys! If you want more, please like and subscribe! If we get over 350 likes, we will make a top 200 boys list!] 2

Syl was stunned.

"When was this released?! And how is Ayanokoji above me? He's a dead fish!" 1

Across the school.

Ayanokoji sneezed. "Am I getting sick? But I should be immune to most illnesses…" 1

Back to Syl.

Syl clicked on his own name. The top 25 boys had a description written about them.

[Syl is a first year class D Student just like Ayanokoji, who ranked one higher. What a stacked class, I'm so jealous! If only I could watch these boys everyday I wou-]

Syl skipped to the important part of the article.

[Syl is a cute boy with a cheeky smile! He's like an angel who lights up your day and brightens your world with his joyful personality and beautiful smile! His presence in this school must have been a gift from god himself!-] 3

Syl chuckled. "It actually was!"

He skimmed the rest of the article but it was just a rant that said the exact same things.

Syl looked back up at the mirror. "I'm the cutest boy in the world! Not handsome at all! Who called me handsome? Hmph!" 2

[You called yourself handsome, host.]

"What? No way! I don't remember doing that!"

He smiled and walked away.

'At least he's in a better mood now' Sys thought.

Syl then poked his head in the door the wrong way, like Chopper. "Sys, what's my status now?" 1

[Here it is.

Charisma/Charm: S- (SS to older women due to cuteness)] 1

Syl admired his own status for a moment before moving on. His charm even went up! What luck! Maybe now he would rank higher than Ayanokoji!

Syl walked to school with a pop in his step, he even felt a little stronger.

It basically felt like this, you know those days where you just feel better than normal, and where you just feel like you can do things that you couldn't do before. Imagine that, but everyday! That's what Syl was like now!

What a lucky guy! 1

Syl was stopped by someone on his way to school.

He smiled happily. "Kushida! What's a place like you doing in an angel like this?" 2

"Huh?"

"What's an angel like you doing in a place like this?"

"Hmm, I don't think that's what you said…"

"Bah! You must be deaf! That's definitely what I said. Anyway, are you here to laugh at me for yesterday or something?" 1

Kushida looked taken aback. Then she looked around to make sure no one was watching.

"What the fuck's wrong with you? Even I wouldn't do something like that! Horikita really went too far. I can't believe you think of me like that." 1

Syl just laughed. "So false sexual assult charges and destroying an entire class are fine but dead moms are a no go, eh. How was I supposed to know where to draw the line?" 2

Kushida scowled. "I was just trying to protect myself."

"If a murder tries to kill you and you kill him instead, aren't you… wait no, bad example." 1

Kushida smiled. "No you're not a murderer, it's self defense."

"I get it, I get it! Bad analogy! This is more appropriate, if someone finds out your secret and you kill them to keep them quiet, are you not still a murderer?" 1

Kushida pouted. "That's not a fair analogy, I never killed anyone." 1

Syl grabbed his hair. "Fine, I'm not on point with the analogy's today! Can't a guy have one day off? Gheez!"

He started walking away but Kushida followed him, going back to her fake personality as they entered a crowded area.

"It's totally fine! I just want to make sure you're alright! Horikita was too mean after all! I can't believe she would do that!" Kushida loudly said.

Syl grumbled. "Please don't."

"I just want to make sure you're okay after what Horikita said!" She nearly shouted.

Syl scowled. "Don't use me as a way to make Horikita look bad, at least be creative and do it on your own, you bitch." He mumbled.

"Are you feeling any better?! I hope you are!"

Syl grit his teeth. "I'd feel better if I could hit you with a rock. Might relieve some stress." He continued to grumble. 3

"Let me know if I can help you in any way!"

"You could let me hit you over the head with a rock." He mumbled again.

"Oh no! How horrible! She didn't even apologize."

"And neither will I when I knock you out with my 1,000,000,000 year old rock." Syl spat as they finally reached the classroom. 2

Then Syl turned and put on a huge smile. "Thanks a lot Kushida! But I'm really fine! I was just tired after the game yesterday, I don't even remember what you're talking about!" He said loudly so everyone eavesdropping could hear.

Syl promptly took his seat and Kushida went to hers.

Syl sat down with a sigh, it was such a good morning too!

Why did that bitch have to ruin it!?

Chapter 31: Chapter 31 2

Suddenly a shadow covered Syl.

"Sujin, no. Syl. I would like to speak with you."

Syl looked up to see Horikita with Ayanokoji standing behind her, almost like he was her support. 1

"Sure."

The two walked into the hall and found a private place.

"I didn't know that…" Horikita trailed off.

"My mom was dead?" Syl asked with a smile.

"... Yeah. That."

Syl chuckled. "Don't worry, my dad's dead too!" 3

"Yes, I already know about that now." Horikita replied. 1

Syl nearly face planted. He looked at Horikita and put a hand on her shoulder lightly.

When the students from Class D watching saw this they started to sweat, was Syl threatening her? This could end badly. 1

Luckily for them, Syl was just trying to help her out!

"Listen, Horikita. You need to work on that. When someone says, 'my dad's dead'. Don't ever just say. 'I know'. You always need to at least say 'I'm sorry', or 'I'm sorry for your loss'." 2

Horikita furrowed her brow. "Why would I apologize? I didn't do anything to them." 3

Syl sighed. "This is what you need to work on… It's just a common courtesy thing, you don't do it for a reason, it's just to be nice and polite."

"... I see, then. I'm sorry for your loss."

Syl chuckled. "You're improving already! I'm such a great teacher." 1

"Well, actually I-"

Syl put his hand over her mouth. "Nope. This is when you just say thanks or something. Don't try and brag that you could have done it without the other person." 2

Horikita bit Syl's finger. 2

"Don't ever do that again." She said angrily.

Syl waved his hand in the air as if he was trying to shake the pain away. "Yup, I deserved that one. My bad. Anyway, is that everything? Class is about to start."

"No. Also, I'm sorry."

Syl froze. Then he picked his ear with his pinky. "I'm sorry, I heard you wrong. What did you say?" 1

"I'm sorry. I'm apologizing to you for the thing that I said."

Syl's jaw hit the floor. 1

Then he pinched himself in the cheek. 1

"This doesn't seem to be a dream…" Syl mumbled.

"It's not. Then, if you don't need me to do anything to make it up to you, I'll leave first."

"Wait! I do have something!" Syl said.

Horikita raised her eyebrow. "What's that?" 1

"Let me expel Kushida! She's so fucking annyoying! And a bitch!" He whispered.

"No, she's valuable to the class." Horikita responded without hesitation. 2

"Bah! Then at least let me hit her in the head with a rock!"

"No, that's obviously not allowed. Are you messing with me?"

Syl pouted, he really wanted to hit her with a rock! "Then, what if it's a 1,000,000,000 year old rock?" 5

Horikita sighed. "Fine. If you can somehow find a billion year old rock on this campus, then do what you want. Is that everything?" 2

Syl jumped for joy! 2

"Yup!"

"Then, I'm going. Have a nice day." Horikita replied as she walked away.

Syl then smiled. "I'm such a great teacher! She's already learned so much!"

Little did he know that Syl taught her nothing. It was actually all Ayanokoji… 2

Well, at least Syl was happy now!

Syl returned to class after Horikita and went about his day normally.

Just like that, a month passed.

[Ding! Host has received 5 spins from the 515 class points this month.]

"Spin please."

[Ding! Host has received. (Mana core- Black) [From-TBATE] x1, (Chess talent) [Hans Niemann] x1, (Duplicates) x3] 6

"No! I don't want to win with a vibrator!!!"

[That is a false allegation host…]

"How do you know that?! Did you see his asshole during the match?!" 1

[...no]

"Then you have no proof!" 1

[...]

"Well, more importantly… does this mean I can use magic?"

[Yes, although it is the weakest magic core, host can now use magic.] 1

"Am I an augmentor or conjuror?"

[Host has to figure that out yourself. Thought, I think it's pretty obvious, usually conjuror's are more calm, collected and smarter people.]

"I see, so I'm obviously a conjuror then." 2

[...]

"What?"

[Nothing…]

"Then, I'll use my size manipulation magic! Make me taller!"

[Size manipulation magic can only be used on inanimate objects.] 3

"WHAT?!"

[Size manipulation magic can only be used on inanimate objects.]

" YOU BASTARD!!! TELL ME THIS BEFORE!!!! I HATE YOU!!!!"

[My apologies, host.]

Syl sat down in a fetial position and looked like he was about to cry.

[Cheer up host, you can use it on Dawn's ballad along with telekinesis for a cool sword draw.]

"... I'm gonna be short forever…" 4

[That's why the girls love you! Remember the top 100 boy's in school article?] 1

"I'm gonna look like a child my whole life!"

[Host can use size manipulation magic to hit Kushida with a bigger rock!] 6

"I can hit that bitch with a huge rock! Sys, you're a genius! I love you!! HAHAHA!!" Syl said as he jumped in the air with a huge smile on his face. 6

Syl ran laps around his room in his pink bunny suit while dancing for joy! 3

Chapter 32: Chapter 32

Syl showed up to class ready for a vacation.

He was wearing a pink flamingo floaty around his waist, a snorkel and goggles along with a yellow bathing suit and no shirt. He also had flippers on his feet and water wings. 5

"Who's ready for a cruise??" He called out as he walked into class.

Half the class was stunned while the other class laughed.

Chabashira sighed.

"Sujin, we haven't even left school yet. It will be a 5 hour bus ride to get to the boat, please put appropriate clothes on." She said as she looked him up and down.

"Bah! I'll be fine! What's wrong with being excited about a two week vacation?" Syl told Chabashira with a wink. 2

'He seems to know something… good.' Chabashira thought.

Syl just took his seat still in his swimming attire.

Suddenly Karuizawa approached him. "I thought you couldn't swim?"

Syl tilted his head like she was an idiot. "Don't you know that dogs can swim?" 1

"... Did you just, like, call yourself a dog?" She responded.

"What? You called me a dog! How mean!" Syl acted hurt.

Karuizawa smirked. "Did you know that dog's have short attention spans and bad memories? Maybe you, like, really are a doggie?" 2

Syl's face turned ghostly white! "Shut up! You're the doggie! Where did you even learn that?" 1

"When I searched up whether or not dogs could swim…"

Syl laughed. "Wait, you really didn't know dogs could swim? I thought you were joking back then!" 3

Karuizawa pouted. "And I also thought that you couldn't swim. Didn't you say that 'you forgot'?"

Syl's smiled. "I just remembered!"

"... How does that make, like, any sense?" 1

"I can swim now!" Syl said happily.

"Nono. How do you just forget, then just remember how to swim, that's like totally doesn't make any sense!"

Syl's smile started to falter. "I just remembered! Stop nagging will you?"

Karuizawa just sighed.

"You're totally an idiot."

"Wha- am not! Take that back!"

Karuizawa smiled. "You're an idiot!" She called out as she walked away.

Syl gasped in shock and offense. "Damn doggie!" He called out after her, but she just ignored him.

Kushida walked over to Syl.

"I actually really like your outfit!" She said with a smile.

Syl grit his teeth. 1

"I'm going to the bathroom." He said as he stood up and left.

Kushida looked around the classroom confused. "Did I say something wrong?"

Karuizawa noticed Syl's reaction and looked at Kushida suspiciously. Her woman's instinct was telling her something was wrong, either someone was happening between the two, or there was some other reason Syl didn't seem to like Kushida… 1

"Did you, like, do something mean to Syl?" She asked Kushida. 3

Kushida put on a perfect fake smile and airhead act. "I can't think of anything… maybe he's still mad about Horikita…"

If Syl heard this he would have smacked her with that rock right here! What a bitch! Trying to use this to once again hurt Horikita's reputation! How annoying!

Karuizawa couldn't feel anything off about Kushida's answer so she just shrugged and left the issue alone.

Just then Syl returned to class in his school uniform and sat down at his desk with a pout on his face and his arms crossed. 1

He wasn't gonna wear anything Kushida complimented! So he changed! 7

What a petty guy!

Chabashira looked at Syl, amused.

Who knows why?

Anyway!

A few hours later!

The class was ready to get onto the first class cruise ship, with free everything!

Syl walked aboard the cruise ship and went to a quiet corner alone, he used his size manipulation magic and telekinesis to change Dawn's Ballad from his earring into its original size and made it look like a walking stick. 1

He held his beloved sword in his hands and felt good, having a sword in his hands made him feel whole ever since he got Butterfly style swordsmanship and Dawns Ballad. The fact that he had only been able to use Dawn's Ballad as a pencil for the last month has been eating away at him.

Well at least other than when he would train in his own room, which he now had set to 2x gravity. He was also using higher and higher weights every week. But he was training properly! Remember to always be safe when you lift weights! 4

So, Syl's body actually didn't look much different even though his strength had definitely grown, he still had a lean looking build and didn't look like a balloon animal. This was due to all his enhancements and body optimization pill allowing his muscles to compound and produce more explosive power without having to actually grow. He was just like Mitsuri Kanroji (Pink hair girl from Demon Slayer) in that respect. 8

Anyway!

Syl was really excited about the upcoming special exam, it was the first special exam! Maybe he would even get bonus spins from Sys!

Syl was really itching to spin more, he was super addicted to this damn gacha, but had somehow held back and not bought any spins in the last month. He even had over 200,000 points right now!

He was almost rich!

Suddenly, someone approached Syl. 4

Chapter 33: Chapter 33

Syl turned around to see Horikita, stumbling and looking unwell.

"What's a place like you doing in a girl like this?" He asked. 8

She looked up with squinted eyes as she just noticed Syl. "What?" 1

"What's a girl like you doing in a place like this?"

Horikita didn't respond as she was short on breath.

"Need a hand?" Syl asked as he reached out to offer a hand.

"I'm fine."

Syl put a hand to her forehead and felt her burning up.

"Hot!" He recoiled like he just touched the stove.

Horikita didn't even have the energy to make a comeback. 1

"What room is that?" She asked with an annoyed tone.

Syl read the sign on the door. "Uhh… the boiler room. Is this your destination? I don't think that's a good idea, you're already burning up…" 1

Horikita replied. "That's not what a-"

Syl waved his hand. "Yeah, yeah, not what a boiler room is for, it was a joke I tell ya! A joke!"

Horikita didn't reply.

Syl sighed. "What room are you?"

"1101."

Syl frowned. "How the fuck are you this lost then?"

"What?"

"This is the basement. You're on floor 11."

"It's not floor 1?"

"Nope, I'm on the same floor. So I know where you are."

"That's dumb."

Syl just shrugged. "Whatever, I'll walk you back to your room."

"I said I'm fine." Horikita tried to refuse.

Syl just walked towards her anyway. 1

Horikita tried to slap him away when he approached but Syl easily countered by slapping her hand away before he spun on his heels and lifted Horikita up in a princess carry with ease. Then 1

Syl spun his sword and it shifted sizes before he used telekinesis to float it back up to his ear, resting as his earring once again. All of this happened before Horikita even realized what was going on.

"Hyaa?!" She yelped when she realized she was lifted off the ground.

Syl just activated his stealth skill and walked towards the stairs, no one used the stairs when there was an elevator after all. So they would probably go unnoticed.

Horikita finally came to her senses and realized that Syl was carrying her!

She started wiggling and struggling to escape.

"Put me down!" She yelled.

Syl chuckled. "If you keep yelling like that then other people will see."

Horikita scowled and started throwing punches at Syl. 9

Syl just tilted his head to dodge with ease everytime a new attack would come his way. 1

Eventually she threw one that he wouldn't be able to dodge while still holding her so he shifted her weight to one of his arms and used his other hand to catch her punch.

When she pulled her hand away he just let go and held her in two arms again, acting like nothing happened.

She coughed before speaking up again. "I thought you couldn't fight?"

Syl hummed. "Who told you that?"

"You got beat up on the first day of school."

"I thought you didn't know about anything that happened in the class until just recently? Wasn't that your excuse before?" Syl laughed at his own joke.

"I really didn't know about your mom…" She trailed off.

Syl chuckled. "It was a joke! Relax! You really need to learn what a joke is…" He went silent in thought. "Yeah, Ayanokoji probably won't be able to teach you that one…" He said while nodding sagely. 1

"Huh??" Horikita asked.

Syl tilted his head. "Wasn't he the one who told you to apologize to me?"

"Well, he was, but…"

Syl smiled. "But what?"

"Nothing." Horikita just shut up, realizing that nothing she did or said in this situation would matter anymore.

A few moments later they reached the doorway to the 11th floor.

Syl put Horikita down and started to walk away. "See ya."

Horikita furrowed her brow. "You're just going to leave me here?"

"Oh? Are you missing my muscular arms already? You're like a maiden in love!" 14

Horikita deeply scowled. "I-"

Syl laugh cut her off. "It was a joke again! Relax! Ghezz you really need to learn what a joke is… Anyway, your door is the first one on the right. I saw other people in the hall and assumed you wouldn't want other people to see me carrying you. Have fun!" 1

Syl walked away.

When he was far out of earshot a mumble rang throughout the staircase.

"Thanks."

Syl smiled. "You're welcome!" He shouted. Startling Horikita, who just assumed it was a coincidence, I mean Syl was like 6-7 floors away, he couldn't have heard her whisper, right?

Wrong! Obviously Syl has super hearing! Didn't she know?? 1

What an idiot!

Syl continued about his day as he floated Dawn's Ballad back to his hand and used it as a walking stick again.

Syl ended up meeting with a few other class D friends.

"Yo! What's going on?" He called out.

"We are wondering where Horikita went. None of us have seen her." Hirata replied.

"Oh, I just saw her! She decided to take the stairs to her room! Something about extra exercise. What a weirdo! Hahaha!"

"You didn't do anything to her, did you?" Kushida asked.

Syl tilted his head. "What do you mean?"

"Aren't you mad at her?"

Syl laughed. "Why would I be mad? I'm just as mad at Horikita as I am at you, Kushida!"

Kushida was slightly shocked. Didn't Syl hate her? Does that mean he also hates Horikita? But she can't reveal that Syl hates her to anyone… Is that why Syl said it? Because only she would know? Or maybe it was a lie?

Kushida was super confused!

Then Syl spoke up again. "It's impossible to be mad at her! Just like I couldn't ever be mad at an angel like you! Right guys?" 1

Ike, Yamauchi and Sudo nodded vigorously in agreement.

"See?" Syl said with a cheeky smile as he looked at Kushida.

Ayanokoji interjected. "Did you really see Horikita?"

Syl nodded. "Why would I lie?"

"Are you sure she was alright?" He asked.

Syl nodded. "I don't see why she wouldn't be!" He winked at Ayanokoji. 1

"Nevermind then…" Ayanokoji said while thinking about something.

He probably just wanted to make sure he used all his tools in the best way possible!

What a guy! 4

Kushida cut in. "Why did you say that Ayanokoji? Is something wrong with Horikita?"

"No, I was just curious."

"Alright then…" Kushida replied.

"Anyway, what are you guys' plans?" Hirata asked everyone.

"I want to go swimming a lot!" Ike and Yamauchi instantly replied.

"That sounds like fun." Hirata said with a smile.

"More like they wanna see us half naked." Karuizawa said badly. 1

"Wha- no! We would never!" Ike called out in defense.

"Right? I don't think it's nice to accuse people of stuff like that for no reason…" Hirata said.

"Hmph, whatever then, I'm leaving. Sato and Shinohara want to get food." She replied as she walked away.

Hirata had a helpless look on his face as he watched her go.

Syl called out. "Hey, Karuizawa, ask Shinohara how the new makeup technique I taught her went! I haven't got the chance!"

Karuizawa turned and waved. "Sure thing, Syl!"

Hirata looked at Syl with a thankful look.

Syl just winked at him in response, almost as if saying, 'no problem bro'.

Chapter 34: Chapter 34 1

"So what's everyone else doing?" Syl asked.

"I want to go swimming as well, and meet a bunch of new people!" Kushida said with a smile.

Ike and Yamauchi nodded at each other. They were now definitely going to be near the swimming pool at all hours of the day.

Sudo was torn… Should he watch the girls, Ahem! I mean go swimming, or play basketball?

Sudo looked at Syl. "Would you help me practice? Just for like an hour or two a day? I can't help but feel that I want to get better after our game, we barely beat those three after all."

Syl thought for a moment. "Sure thing, as long as it doesn't get in the way of my plans!"

Hirata spoke up again. "What are your plans, Syl?"

"I want to hunt a bear!" He said giddily. 5

"..."

No one said a word in response.

"Pardon?" Ike asked.

"I was thinking of killing a bear!"

"I don't think that would be possible on a cruise ship…" Ayanokoji input.

"Bah! I'll find a way! Me and my trusty walking stick won't let this opportunity slide! When else are we gonna get to go hunting!?" 1

Ayanokoji just sighed.

What an idiot!

At this point someone walked up. "Aren't you talking about something interesting, Syl-boy?"

Syl looked up at the tall boy and smiled. "Why, wanna join, Koenji?"

"Fufufu. Perhaps I will. I haven't tested my perfect body for a few months now." 2

He then just walked away while looking at his mirror.

Syl chuckled. "Cool! I might have a partner!"

The rest of his classmates look baffled.

What the fuck was happening?!?!!?

Syl just moved on normally. "So, Hirata and Ayanokoji. What are you gonna do?"

Hirata scratched his cheek. "I'm not sure yet, but Karuizawa and some of her friends did say they want to hang out sometime."

"Bah! Damn playboy! What about you Ayanokoji?"

"I don't have any plans yet." He responded.

"Then, we should hang out sometime!" Syl said with a smile.

"Alright." Ayanokoji nodded.

Syl thought for a moment. "Say, why don't we get some food right now? I don't have anything to do!"

"Sure."

Syl turned to the rest of the boys there, and Kushida and smiled.

"Then, see you guys later! Have fun swimming and creating a harem!" Syl laughed.

"I'm not making a harem or anything." Hirata said awkwardly.

"Why cause your 'girlfriend' wouldn't let you?" Syl chuckled and elbowed him.

"Haha, well that too…" Hirata looked around awkwardly.

Syl just smiled and walked away.

Kushida called out to the two. "Hey, can I join you guys?"

Syl chuckled. "Sorry pumpkin, no angels allowed! We don't wanna go to hell after all! If you heard this… well you get the point!"

Kushida giggled. "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone." 1

"Pfft~! HAHAHAHA! Oh god, that was a good one!" Syl nearly fell over laughing.

Everyone else just thought he was overreacting to Kushida's joke about being an angel. Alas, none of them understood the funniest part about the joke! Only Ayanokoji did, but he wasn't gonna slip up and laugh… 1

Syl wiped a tear from his eye. "Sorry Kushida, I'd love to chat but I actually have something I want to ask Ayanokoji. You know, guys talk. The real men are talking today!" Syl made a muscular pose when he said the last part. 2

"Hahaha! But I'll be so lonely without you! Can you really not let me come?" She pouted.

Syl smiled. "Then does anyone else here want to keep Kushida some company?"

"ME!" Both Ike and Yamauchi jumped at the chance.

Syl whispered to Ayanokoji. "She just shot herself in the foot there. I didn't even have to try."

"Yeah, that was a big mistake to say in front of those two." Ayanokoji agreed.

Syl just laughed and looked at Kushida.

"Have fun you three!" He winked at Kushida who was currently extremely pissed but didn't show it on her face.

Syl just walked away with Ayanokoji. "Piece of cake eh?"

Ayanokoji silently nodded. Then he looked back at Hirata and then towards Syl.

"Syl, do you know something?"

Syl's face froze for a second, before a smirk formed on his lips. It was different from his usual smile, more genuine.

"I know a lot of things. You're gonna have to be more specific."

Ayanokoji hesitated for a moment before he replied. "Nevermind then."

"I already told you. I'm good at reading people." Syl responded to an unasked question.

"Is that so?" Ayanokoji said as he pondered something.

"Honestly, to me, it was pretty obvious. They don't seem very close and they constantly seem like they just forget they are even dating each other, at least Hirata does, Karuizawa is a lot better at hiding it. Thought that might just mean that she has more reason to perform the act than Hirata. And you know the kicker? They don't even call each other by their first name. It's been 3 months, most couples are deciding whether to say 'I love you' to each other first by now, not debating about calling their girlfriend by their name." Syl ranted.

"What does that mean?" Ayanokoji asked.

Syl chuckled. "You already know."

"Why would you think that?" Ayanokoji asked.

Syl ignored his question.

"Are you gonna make a move? I bet Chabashira is trying to make you do something."

Ayanokoji was shocked. Though he didn't show it on his face at all!

He was still as dead fish like as ever! 1

What a guy!

"I'm not sure what you're talking about."

"So she did do something." Syl responded with a smile.

"What?"

"If she hadn't made a move yet you would have asked something like. 'Why would she do that?' Both trying to get information out of me and subconsciously responding properly. You saying 'I'm not sure what you're talking about.' was a subconscious response to try and defend yourself by making you seem clueless. Plus it also shows you didn't need to get any information out of me, which implies you already know what I'm talking about." Syl said with a huge smile. 1

Ayanokoji was silent.

"Seems like I was pretty on the mark then. Don't be too shocked, I already told you I'm good at reading people." Syl continued.

"Even if you were right, about any of this. Why would you even care?" Ayanokoji asked.

"I wanna see you make a move. It's always a fun time when you do." Syl replied honestly.

"I'm not sure what you're talking about. What have I even done?"

Syl shrugged. "You already know that. Anyway, feel free to do whatever you want. I won't stop you if you're helping the class."

Ayanokoji stopped walking side by side with Syl and stood still.

Syl continued walking and was about to walk away. It was already dark and he was ready to go back to his room anyway.

Ayanokoji was standing under the moonlight with the wind blowing his hair to the sides.

"Did Chabashira do anything to you?" He finally asked Syl, who was now 10 feet away. 1

Syl turned his head back. "Nope! She probably thinks I'm going to do everything I can for the class's sake."

Ayanokoji didn't miss a beat as he responded immediately. "So you're not going to help the class?"

Syl paused for a moment. "I haven't decided what to do yet, but I have a fun idea…"

"Does this idea make you the class's enemy? My enemy?" Ayanokoji asked in a cold emotionless voice. 1

Syl finally turned to face him. "I'm not your enemy, Kiyotaka. I actually really want to be your friend in the future."

Ayanokoji peered into his eyes. "I thought we were already friends." 2

Syl turned and walked away. "You know what I mean." 2

Ayanokoji didn't respond.

Syl turned his head back one last time and bolstered a huge smile.

"See you on the island, Ayanokoji!"

Ayanokoji watch Syl's retreating form. "So he even knows about that…"

Ayanokoji sighed under the moonlight.

He looked up at the moon.

"What does being someone's friend even mean?" 24

Chapter 35: Chapter 35

The next day.

Syl was on the deck using dawn's ballad as a fake microphone and singing.

"She wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts! She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers! Dreaming bout the day that you wake up and find! THAT WHAT YOUR, LOOKING FOR, HAS BEEN HERE THE WHOLE TIME!! IF YOU CAN SEE THAT I'M THE ONE WHO UNDERSTANDS YOU! BEEN HERE ALL ALONG SO WHY CAN'T YOU SEEEEE?! YOU BELONG WITH MEEEEEEEE!!!!" 7

Suddenly someone cut him off. 1

"Standin' by you, waiting at your back door! All this time! How could you not know babyyyy! YOU BELONG WITH MEEEE!!! You belong with me…"

Syl turned back to face the stranger who interrupted his performance.

He was met by someone he had never met before.

"You're… Hashimoto, right?" Syl asked.

"Yes, I'm surprised the anomaly knows my name." He said with a shocked expression before smiling. 2

Syl chuckled. "I'm more surprised you know t-swizzle."

Hashimoto chuckled. "Never a bad day when you're singing along to Taylor, right?"

Syl nodded vigorously. "So, what's up? How's it feel to be in class A again?"

"Well, I was quite surprised and disappointed when Ryuuen's class overtook us. So being back actually doesn't feel too great, I'm more bittersweet about the fact that we lost in the first place." Hashimoto chuckled.

Syl smiled. "Well, you win some, you lose some, right?" 2

Hashimoto nodded. "We also have you to thank. If you didn't take Ryuuen's attention off of us, things might have gone differently."

Syl tilted his head. "You mean that thing with… Kito! That was his name." 2

Hashimoto's smile slightly faded. "So you even know about that…"

Syl chuckled. "I just happened to pass by when I heard Sakayanagi talking about it. Ryuuen did the same thing to our classmate, that's how we ended up in that basketball game."

"Is that so? Congratulations on the win by the way. You were pretty good out there." Hashimoto congratulated Syl.

"Haha! It was nothing, honestly it just felt good to play again! It's been too long since I picked up a ball! Plus I had a huge crowd! It was so much fun! You should try it sometime!"

Hashimoto smiled wryly. "I don't think I'd be as good as you."

Syl waved him off. "Bah! Don't be so modest! You sound like Hirata! Unless… no it's not possible."

Hashimoto looked curious. "What's not possible?"

Syl looked at him and questioned. "Unless you're going for a harem too?" 1

"Pfft! No way! With who?!" Hashimoto spat out in shock.

"Exactly! It's impossible!" Syl repeated. 4

"Well, I wish Hirata the best of luck. A fellow soldier travelling down a harsh and dangerous path to achieve the impossible. Especially when you already have a girlfriend." Hashimoto saluted Hirata's 'efforts'. 2

Syl saluted as well before chuckling together with Hashimoto.

Hashimoto pointed to Syl's hand. "I like the cosplay. Though isn't it a little offensive?" He said with a smirk. 1

Syl shook his head. "Nono! It's not offensive at all! But, don't tell Sakayanagi anyway…" 1

Hashimoto chuckled. "I tend to have loose lips, without anything to keep them shut."

Syl gasped. "Are you blackmailing me?!"

Hashimoto chuckled. "Me? No way!"

Syl sighed. "You're an evil bastard, you know that? I thought we were buddies? We even sang Taylor Swift together!"

Hashimoto shook his head with a disappointed look on his face. "Sorry kid, nothing personal." 2

"Bah! I can't believe you would say that! Hmph! I don't care! Tell her whatever you want!" Syl said as he crossed his arms.

Hashimoto held up his hands. "It was a joke!" 1

Syl smirked. "Sure thing. Anyway, I gotta go. I wanna ask my teacher something, you just reminded me about it."

"What's that?" 1

Syl shrugged. "Secret." 1

Hashimoto sighed. "I'll see you around then."

Syl smiled and waved as he left towards Chabashira's office.

When he arrived he walked in without knocking.

He saw Chabashira stuffing her face full of cake.

Syl bit down on his lip to suppress a laugh.

Chabashira furrowed her brow with a mouth full of cake and a small moustache of icing. 2

She swallowed and spoke. "Get out."

Syl was biting down so hard on his lip it was about to bleed.

"I said leave. And you always need to knock!" She said in an angry tone.

"...che" Syl whispered.

"What?"

"Nice moustache, sensei. HAHAHAHA!" Syl bent over from laughing so hard! 4

Chabashira had a shocked expression for a moment before she rushed to the bathroom to clean herself up.

She came back a moment later, smelling like perfume and with a huge frown.

"I told you to leave, Sujin."

"Ha, ha. Sorry, that was just too funny."

"Never speak of this again and leave right now."

"Hmmm… I don't think I want to though?" Syl said with a cheeky smile.

"... What are you implying?"

"Nothing! Nothing… well, maybe something…" Syl danced around the question.

Chabashira sighed. "What did you even come here for?"

"Oh right! Isn't this unfair?" Syl asked.

"What? You're on an all expenses paid trip. I fail to see a problem."

"It's like super unfair! Class A, Sakayanagi's class, is at a huge advantage!"

Chabashira sighed. "Just like I've told Yukimura and Horikita, I can't do anything about the class you were put in. It's your own fault for being put in class D."

Syl tilted his head. "What are you talking about? Plus, isn't class D pretty stacked? We aren't much worse than Ichinose's class in ability, and I would actually argue that we are better than Ryuuen's class. But more importantly, we have more exceptional people with just one or two defects than any other class… by far."

Chabashira was stunned. "You think so?"

Syl nodded. "Honestly, if the random's in the class had just slightly better academic ability, I would argue that this is the best class by far. I mean even with the 'worst of the worst' we're still competing well with the other classes. But anyway, this is too unfair!"

"If you think so highly of your classmates then I don't see what could be wrong." Chabashira quipped back.

"They get to know about the special exam early!!!" Syl shouted.

"What?" Chabashira asked, genuinely shocked and confused.

Syl sighed. "Listen, because Sakayanagi isn't here, they know about the special exam!"

"What's a special exam?" Chabashira asked.

"Bah! Don't play dumb with me, moustache lady!"

"Call me that again, and I'll…" Chabashira trailed off as she frowned deeply.

"Or you'll what? Hit me? Expel me? Tank my grades? Those will all backfire! Plus I don't care about my grades in the first place!" Syl replied happily. 3

Chabashira's frown deepened. "I'll expel you."

Syl sighed. "As if, and right after you just blackmailed Ayanokoji? You clearly care too much about reaching class A, do you really think you can do that without me?" Syl countered.

"I think there's a strong possibility."

"Are you willing to take that chance?" Syl asked seriously.

"Maybe I am."

"Go for it!" Syl said with a relaxed smile. "Do it right now. I'll watch."

Chabashira raised an eyebrow. "You want me to expel you?"

"Maybe I do?" Syl didn't back down. "Give your superior a call right now, accuse me of anything, I won't even fight it. See how far you get without me."

Chabashira hesitantly reached out her arm towards the phone.

After a second of hovering over the handle, she took a deep breath and grasped it.

ring

"Hello?" A voice sounded on the other end. Syl could hear everything because it was on speaker phone.

Syl looked Chabashira dead in the eye with a smile on his face. 'Do it' he mouthed. 1

Chabashira bit her lip lightly for a second.

"Hello? Chabashira?" The voice sounded again.

"... Sorry, wrong number." She replied.

"I see, good luck out there with the special exam. Goodbye." 1

"Goodbye."

She hung up the phone and looked back at Syl.

Syl's smile never faded. 11

"Couldn't do it eh?" Syl chuckled.

Chabashira straightened up. "You wouldn't have stayed quiet."

Syl chuckled. "True, if you had said something, I would have shown them this."

Syl pulled out his phone from his pocket showing it was recording.

Chabashira gasped. "You were recording that?"

Syl smiled. "I thought you already knew? Isn't that why you didn't say anything? Or maybe you were just bluffing the whole time?"

Chabashira didn't respond.

Syl chuckled. "I also could have just told them about what you did to Ayanokoji. Then who would they believe, the teacher who is known to blackmail students, or the student who provided evidence of cete blackmail?"

"Get to the point." Chabashira said.

"Well, I can't say I would be in a bad situation if I was expelled, but I would like to avoid that at any costs."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't need the benefits of reaching class A, I'm confident that even if I was expelled right now and never entered highschool again, I would live a fine life."

"If you don't care about graduating from class A, why do you want to stay in school? Is it your friends?" Chabashira asked.

Syl hummed. "Who knows? Anyway, it's nice to see that you don't want me to go, Sae-chan!" 3

"What did you just call me?"

"Sae-chan! Why? What are you gonna do about it?"

Chabashira grit her teeth.

"HAHAHA! You're cute when you're angry, sensei. Anyway, can we get back on topic?"

Chabashira took a deep breath and sat down in her chair. She brought one hand to her face like she was exhausted, which she was. "What do you want?"

"It's really unfair that Sakayanagi's class gets extra information. I mean it makes no sense for her to not be able to board this cruise ship, especially because it's wheelchair accessible. So why else wouldn't she be able to come? There is obviously something else going on. Also your phone call two seconds ago just confirmed it. There is a special exam going on. That's all ignoring the fact that when Sakayanagi heard about this, which I assume she had to in order to give her a reason to not come, she could just tell her class. So, doesn't that sound unfair to you?"

Chabashira sighed. "I thought you would have just heard from Ayanokoji, but to think this is how you found out."

Syl chuckled. "Ayanokoji didn't tell me anything actually, I just assumed you would try to use him and the way he responded tipped me off."

"You have a terrifying intuition." Chabashira said with a light shiver.

Syl smiled. "I'm just good at reading people. Nothing special."

Chabashira sighed. "Nothing special my ass. Anyway, you do bring up a good point, however, much like you did. Any other first year student could use this hint to figure something out. Not just the students of class A. I believe you have even less of an argument seeing how you already know about the special exam." 1

"Is that what the excuse is?"

"..."

Syl sighed. "Is that the same response I will get if I ask someone else?"

"Most likely." Chabashira said.

Syl put a hand to his chin and pondered. "Maybe I should ask Hoshinomiya sensei then. She would probably actually help me rather than threatening to expel me… She's also super cute!"

Syl smiled and looked at Chabashira. "Bye sensei~! I have somewhere to be!"

"Wait!" Chabashira called out as she stood up.

Syl paused with his hand over the door handle. "What?" He asked with a smile.

"You can't go to her…" Chabashira said without providing a reason.

"Why not?" Syl asked.

"I said so, if you do, then…"

"What? You're gonna expel me? I thought we'd already been over this?" Syl's smile grew as he slightly tiled the door handle.

"Just don't."

"What's the magic word?"

"... Please."

Syl chuckled and let go of the door handle.

"Are you that sad to see me leave? Just so you know, it's illegal to date a student! Well, that's only if anyone ever finds out…" Syl cheekily smiled.

Chabashira smacked her desk. "I never said I wanted to date you! Just cause you're a little cute, you think everyone likes you?" 3

"So you think I'm cute?"

Chabashira scowled. "I said it objectively." 1

"You really are cute when you're angry, Sae-chan!!" Syl laughed as he opened the door and walked away.

Chabashira flopped into her chair with a frown on her face.

"I hate that kid." 2

Syl was smiling outside the door. "I think she loves me!" He chuckled to himself as he walked away. 2

Later on that day there was a mass email to all first years students that they would be doing a special exam on an uninhabited island.

Syl quickly skimmed it and frowned when he saw the part of the email that said that no large or dangerous animals would be on the island. 2

"So much for hunting a bear…" Syl said with a pout on his face. 1

"Can't a guy just go and have fun every once in a while? This is all horseshit!"

15 minutes later, Syl and the rest of class D were all getting ready to dock on the island and were in a terrible mood.

The class was upset because they wouldn't be able to enjoy their vacation, whereas Syl was still pissed he couldn't do bear hunting.

What a scam!

Well, it's actually a very good thing that they didn't send a bunch of 15-16 year olds onto an island with a bunch of bears…

Syl was the weird one for wanting bears to be there…

Although Koneji was also a little upset about it, he actually did want to hunt with Syl… 5

What psychopaths!

Anyway!

Eventually the class along with all the other first years made it on the island and Chabashira started explaining how the uninhabited island test would work as she gave everyone in the class wristbands.

Syl sat through the explanation and waited for Chabashira to stop speaking.

Eventually the explanation was complete and the students were allowed to discuss what to buy with class points and ask Chabashira about any questions they had.

Syl was bored. He watched Ike and Shinohara start to argue over the toilet and then it became a boys vs girls argument with the only girl willing to not spend money on the better toilet being Karuizawa.

Syl chuckled. "Doggies are used to peeing outside after all."

Karuizawa instantly replied. "Then you're all set!"

Syl laughed. "You betcha! I'm actually gonna make use of it right now! I'll be back in a few minutes everyone!" 3

Syl walked away while a few of the girls looked at him with a frown.

"Did he really need to tell us all he was going to the bathroom??" Shinohara asked with a disgruntled voice.

"Well, it's better than just running off without telling anyone anything. Right guys?" Hirata said with a smile.

"I guess…" Shinohara muttered.

"But we still won't give up on the toilet! Girls can't use one of those!" Shinohara shouted again as the argument reignited.

"That's 20 class points!!! Just rough it out for a week!" Ike countered.

Syl heard this from a distance away, glad he was finally out of that annoying argument.

Then Syl activated his stealth skill and started running around the island at inhuman speeds with a mixture of all his skills and enhancements, he even learned how to slightly augment his body with mana recently. 5

Turn's out he was an augmentor and not a conjuror. Who could have guessed?! 7

Everyone! Syl's an idiot!!

Anyway!

Syl finally found what he was looking for.

"This is gonna be fun." He muttered with a smile. Syl jumped down from a tree and landed next to two people.

He looked at both of them and raised his arms like he was welcoming an old friend.

"Long time no see, Captain."

Ryuuen looked shocked for a moment before laughing.

"Kukuku. What do you think you're doing?" He asked.

Syl chuckled. "I was going for a little run but I found something interesting." Then Syl turned to the other person. "You're Katsuragi right? Are you still fighting with Sakayanagi over class leader?"

Katsuragi furrowed his brow and looked at Ryuuen.

"I thought you said this was confidential? Did you go and tell someone from class D about this?"

Ryuuen looked serious for the first time. "I had no clue a rat would sneak in. It seems my 'exterminators' aren't doing their jobs properly."

Ryuuen then used his fingers to whistle and three people came out of the bushes a few seconds later.

"What?!" Ibuki asked with a frown.

"Why didn't do you your damn job?" Ryuuen asked coldly.

"What are you talking abou- YOU! How did you get here?!?!" She screamed when she saw Syl.

Syl shrugged. "I just used the trees."

"I thought you said you were jogging?" Katsuragi asked.

Syl nodded. "I was, just on the trees."

"It was you! Wasn't it?! You betrayed us!!!" Ibuki screamed at Katsuragi as she approached him like she was gonna fight.

Slap

"Shut up Ibuki. Go calm down over there." Ryuuen said in a relaxed tone.

Then he turned back to Syl. "Leave, now."

"Nah." Syl relied simply.

Ryuuen nodded which caused Albert and Ishizaki to come over.

"Leave now, before something, unfortunate, happens." Ryuuen said in a threatening manner.

"I don't wanna, besides, I could always just tell the teachers about what you did to her. You know violence is prohibited, right?" Syl said calmly.

"Kukuku. Is that so? Ibuki, what happened to your cheek?" Ryuuen laughed.

"... I fell." She replied softly.

Syl chuckled. "One hell of a fall, well whatever." He just shrugged.

Ryuuen narrowed his eyes. "Why haven't you left yet?" 1

Syl looked him dead on without an ounce of hesitation. "Why should I? You gonna do something about it?"

Syl's eyes glowed yellow as an invisible pressure radiated from him in all directions. The leaves on the trees started flailing in the wind and falling off their branches as the wind picked up and 3 people near Syl suddenly struggled to breath.

Only Ryuuen and Albert were unaffected.

Ryuuen looked back at Ishizaki and Ibuki. "What's wrong with you two? Get your shit together." 1

Ibuki tried to respond but couldn't squeak out a reply.

A small black bolt of lighting with a yellow outline that was only visible to Syl sparked in the air as his haki grew in strength.

Ibuki finally fainted and Ishizaki was gasping for breath.

Syl chuckled and reeled in his haki, the invisible pressure disappearing. "Oh look, something unfortunate happened."

Ryuuen looked back at Ibuki who was passed out on the ground. "Kukukuku. Was she really that scared? What a weakling."

Katsuragi, who was struggling to breathe just a second ago, finally got off on one knee. "What did you just do?"

Syl tilted his head. "Nothing, I'm just standing still." 3

Ryuuen laughed again. "Kukukuku! That was one crazy look you had in your eyes. You could scare just about anyone with that. Too bad I don't know the meaning of fear." 4

Syl smiled. "Thanks, honestly I'm just happy I don't have to deal with that toddler anymore." He said while pointing at Ibuki.

"Deal with? What are you planning on doing, Syl?" Katsuragi asked cautiously.

Syl looked at him like he was an idiot. "Dealing with you guys, of course."

Ryuuen looked excited. "Kukukuku! So, you came here for a fight?"

Katsuragi frowned. "Violence isn't allowed during this special exam, you will lose all your private points and be kicked off the island, losing another 30 class points for this exam."

Ryuuen smiled. "Then isn't this a perfect opportunity for someone without private points? Kukukuku. Ishizaki, you know what to do."

Ishizaki nodded and walked forward. "Sorry, Syl. It's nothing personal."

Syl smiled and looked at Katsuragi. "You're my witness."

Katsuragi raised a brow. "For what?"

Ishizaki swung his arm forward in an attempt to hit Syl. Syl dodged with a backflip and laughed.

"That this is self defense." 2

Syl then blocked Ishizaki's flurry of punches one by one before tackling him to the ground and putting him in a leg lock.

Ishizaki struggled to get out for a minute but eventually passed out due to loss of breath.

Syl stood up and dusted off his pants.

He took off his jumper and rolled up his sleeves.

"There, now, shall we get down to business?" He said while staring directly into Ryuuen's eyes.

"Kukukukuku. You're even more interesting than I thought. I can't wait to crush you." Ryuuen said with a maniacal look in his eyes. 1

He took a few steps forward until he was face to face with Syl.

"I want in." Syl finally said.

Ryuuen ignored him and punched out. He narrowly missed Syl's head as he dodged.

Syl ignored Ryuuen and looked at Katsuragi. "I want in on this deal."

Katsuragi was shocked by this entire sequence of events. "What did you say?"

"Get me in on this." Syl said as he swatted one of Ryuuen's punches away from his face.

Katsuragi furrowed his brow. "On what?"

Syl chuckled as he blocked another punch with his 'walking stick'. "I heard something about class points and private points."

Katsuragi denied it. "I don't know what you're talking about."

Syl chuckled. "200 class points worth of goods and the class leaders of the other classes for 800,000 points per month. Is that jogging any memories?"

Katsuragi frowned. "How long were you listening?"

Syl shrugged as he smacked Ryuuen's leg with his walking stick.

"Keuk! Stop running! Fight back!" Ryuuen charged at Syl once more.

"So I was thinking, 200,000 for me, 600,000 for these guys. I think it sounds pretty fair."

"Kukuku. How is that fair?! We are providing 200 class points plus the 50 each from the two class leaders! What are you doing?" Ryuuen laughed as he continued to attack Syl, who was dodging backwards constantly.

Syl smiled as his back ended up against a tree and he was backed into a corner. "I'll give you one of the class leaders."

Ryuuen froze as he was about to punch Syl in the face. "Kukuku. You can't be serious."

Syl smiled and lightly pushed Ryuuen's hovering fist away from his face with two fingers. "I'm very serious, this would make it fair wouldn't it, at that point I would not only be offering you 50 class points, but also taking 50 class points away from myself, so it's really worth 100 points. Then you're gonna do what, 250 class points? I think it's more than fair that we split 25-75%."

Ryuuen laughed. "Kukukuku. This just got interesting."

He put his hands in his pockets, turned around and started walking away, apparently more interested in the deal than fighting Syl now.

However, right when Syl least expected it, Ryuuen turned around and sent a kick towards his ribcage.

Katsuragi jumped back in shock at the unexpected and underhanded move.

However, Ryuuen's foot froze a few inches from Syl's torso.

"Hahahaha! You're way too predictable, Captain." Syl said with a smile on his face and Ryuuen's shin in his hand.

"Kukuku. Did you really think you could steal from me?" Ryuuen asked with a smile as he withdrew his leg and walked away for real this time.

"Pretty much." Syl confirmed. "I mean, we can always do this the hard way and I leak the contents of your plan to everyone else in the grade, I'm sure that would make it a lot harder to learn of Ichinose's leader, and I sure as hell won't let you learn of mine."

"Kukukuku. Do you think I'm scared of you? I can figure out your class leader with or without your help and getting to Ichinose, it isn't even a challenge. Let's go Katsuragi, who cares what this pip squeak says?" Ryuuen smiled as he started walking away.

Katsuragi looked lost in thought. "... No. This deal is off, I can't have someone leak this plan, it wouldn't be worth it if we can't learn of the other two class leaders."

Ryuuen froze in his tracks and his smile faded. "What did you just say?"

Katsuragi repeated himself. "The deal is off."

Ryuuen walked up to Katsuragi and grabbed him by the collar. "You bastard! What do you think you're doing?!"

Katsuragi maintained his composure. "You don't scare me Ryuuen. You have too much to lose here if you withdraw from the island."

Syl chimed in. "Right? Isn't he like kinda cute when you pull out his fangs?"

Ryuuen scowled.

Then he took a deep breath and smiled.

"Kukukukuukukukuku! How interesting. Alright, I'll play your little game, Katsuragi. What do you suggest we do now?"

Ryuuen set Katsuragi down.

Katsuragi straightened out his shirt and spoke up. "I like Syl's idea. I'll split the pay 75-25."

Ryuuen laughed. "Kukuku. That's no-"

Syl cut in. "That's off the table, Katsuragi."

Katuragi was shocked. "What do you mean?"

Syl smiled. "I made that offer out of the generosity of my heart, but you two declined. This just won't do."

Syl turned to Ryuuen and winked when Katsuragi couldn't see him.

Ryuuen decided to let Syl speak for the moment.

Syl turned back to Katsuragi. "You guys don't have to spend a single class point. You guys will have an automatic 270 points. Some simple math tells me that it's an extra…"

Syl paused and started counting in his head.

"1,080,000." Katsuragi said.

"Bah! I knew that!" Syl quipped.

"Kukukuku, I thought you were supposed to be smart." Ryuuen laughed.

"I am! Shut up! Anyway! That means you guys will have an extra 1,000,000 points after this exam. Now, I understand that you're only getting 200 points from Ryuuen, which makes this trade technically worth 800,000 points per month. Which is what you were originally discussing."

The two nodded, confirming Syl's statement.

Syl clapped and continued. "Then what about the points for the class leaders? You two will be gaining 100 points for that but I will be losing 100! How cruel!"

"You forgot, if you join us and we learn of Ichinose's class leader, you will only lose 50 class points, but they will lose 150. Meaning you would get closer to class C by 100 class points anyway." Katsuragi said.

Syl waved him off. "Who fucking cares about class C? Besides, it's still a 150 point gap between me and both of you two. Anyway, if I tell you my class leader, I am guaranteeing you 50 class points. Rather than bet on Ryuuen, isn't it better to pay a little extra for guaranteed points?"

Katsuragi thought for a moment. "You're suggesting that I pay more?"

Syl nodded. "Remember, if you don't take this deal now, you're both mine and Ryuuen's enemy. And I can't speak for my Captain, but I will stop at nothing to drag you to the depths of hell."

"Kukukuku! A good crew mate always knows his Captain's goals." Ryuuen confirmed what Syl was saying as he saw where he was going with this.

Katsuragi frowned. "What are you saying?"

Ryuuen chuckled. "Isn't it better to gain points than to lose them? Even if you have to pay a little more?"

Katsuragi frowned deeper. "So this is a threat?"

Syl nodded. "Basically. Anyway, you're gonna be getting 300 free class points here. Now, I'm not an unreasonable man, so I won't cheat you out of your money. What I mean to say is. All of those private points are on the table."

"Kukukuku! I like the way you think." Ryuuen laughed.

Syl chuckled. "I figured you'd get me, Captain. Anyway, Those 300 class points are worth…"

"1,200,000 a month." Katsuragi said.

Syl continued on. "Right! I knew that! I can do simple math too! It's just 30,000 points times 40 people! Easy! Anyway! Those 1,200,000 points go to us 75-25, I get 300,000 and Ryuuen gets 900,000 every month. You get the class points but have to give up the private points that come with them. I think it's fair, I mean you will leap over 200 points in front of class B right away! Actually probably 300 points ahead, if Ryuuen spends the rest of the points."

Chapter 39: Chapter 39

Katsuragi was lost in thought before finally saying. "I have a few things I need first. I won't sign until you show me proof of your class leader. I'm taking the risk that we won't be able to find Ichinose's leader, so this is non negotiable. I also need you to promise you will help find out Ichinose's leader."

Syl smiled. "Of course, but you guys need to hear my demands as well. You can't tell anyone about my involvement in this deal, under any circumstances. Also, if someone in my class reaches out to either of you in order to harm me in any way, I need you to let me know immediately. I don't need you to tell me the details of who it is or what they want to do, just a warning that something might happen, you're even free to work with them so long as you warn me first. Then finally, I need you to understand and agree to the fact that while you two represent your classes, I don't represent mine. It should be obvious because I am betraying them but… Basically, what you need to know is that I can't control their actions, you will still be fighting against class D even if I'm on your side for this test. That means, if they guess your leader or anything else happens and the deal doesn't go perfectly, I bear no responsibility. Of course, I won't help them in any way as that's against the rules, but if I do nothing and they beat you guys fair and square, you can't blame me or cut me off from the private points. Sound good?"

Katsuragi nodded after a few seconds.

Ryuuen chuckled. "Kukuku. Then here are my demands. In order to make sure you don't break your promise and in order to confirm that you aren't lying about your class leader, you can't kick out the spy I send."

Syl's face scrunched up. "Don't tell me."

"Kukukuku! Ibuki should make a great supervisor."

"Bah! You're just doing this to spite me! You know how annoying she is!" Syl spat out.

"Exactly. That's the main reason I'm sending her after all, the other reasons were just excuses. You shouldn't have barged into my deal."

Syl was baffled. "But I helped you! I got you more money!"

"Kukukuku. Did you? I think I earned it myself."

Katsuragi who had stayed silent for a while finally spoke up. "Now, let's write this up."

Syl nodded. "You guys write it, I'll be back in a minute."

"Where are you going?" Katsuragi asked.

"To steal my class leader's card. Duh." Syl said before he smiled and ran off.

"What a strange and dangerous guy. To think he would force me into making this deal with a threat… It seems I made a blunder." Katsuragi lamented on his foolishness of thinking this deal would work out in the first place.

To be fair to him, it did have a chance of working out if two things didn't happen. One was Syl showing up and turning the deal on its head and the other was Ayanokoji's existence.

Ryuuen just walked up to Ishizaki and kicked him awake. "Get up you piece of shit!"

Ishizaki squirmed on the ground. "Gah! Wha- what happened?" 1

Ryuuen smiled. "You got your ass kicked by a midget. Kukukuku. Then he made me some money." 2

"What?" Ishizaki asked, only to receive no reply.

Katsuragi was busy writing up the contract, Ryuuen just ignored him, Ibuki was still unconscious, and Albert was just watching everything happen.

He kinda liked the little guy! He was funny, cool, and even thought he was strong, he didn't just use force on everyone else like Ryuuen did! He was just like Albert! Plus he also spoke fluent english!

Albert felt like he was a kindred soul!! 8

10 minutes went by and Syl returned by landing beside Katsuragi after jumping out of a tree.

Everyone was shocked. "I thought you were a quarter of the way across the island?" Ishizaki asked.

Syl nodded and chuckled. "I am!"

Ishizaki gasped. "So fast! How did you make it there and back already?"

Syl shrugged. "I'm just a guy who can run kinda fast."

He was just like Ayanokoji after the sports festival! Hahaha!

Syl ran up to the contract and read it over, making sure that it was what they agreed upon. Once he found out that it was right, probably because Katsuragi made it rather than Ryuuen, Syl signed it and tossed a card on the floor.

[Horikita Suzune]

"Kukuku. So it's her." Ryuuen said with a smile.

Katsuragi picked up the card and played around with it for a minute to verify its authenticity.

"This seems real. Alright." He handed it back to Syl and signed the contract.

Ryuuen chuckled. "Pleasure doing business with you lads." He said as he wrote down his name, finalizing the contract.

Syl chuckled. "Anything for my Captain! Then, I'll be going now, my class probably thinks I'm taking the biggest shit of my life!"

Syl waved goodbye and ran back to his class.

When Syl got back he slipped the card back where he found it with his stealth skill before walking out of the woods. "There you guys are! I've been looking for you for like 30 minutes! I got lost! It's dangerous out there I tell ya!"

Hirata looked up. "Syl! You're back! Could you help me out?"

Syl looked confused. "Why? What's going on?"

Shinohara ran over with a group of girls. "Syl! You agree with us, right? We need the toilet!"

Syl sighed. So this is what Hirata meant. Because Syl was friends with all the girls and often discussed make-up and other things with them, they wanted to use him to get the boys to agree with them!

What evil beings! So cunning!

Syl chuckled. "Well, I'm fine either way! I don't mind using the cardboard nor spending the 20 points."

"No! We NEED the toilet! C'mon! You agree, right Syl??" One of the girls said while giving a pleading look at Syl and pressing her breasts together.

'They're trying to honeytrap me! How cruel!!!'

"Uhhh… I gotta go to the bathroom again." Syl said awkwardly and tried to sneak away.

A hand grasped his wrist. "Oh no you don't. You just went, I'm sure you can hold it."

Karuizawa spoke with a smile that didn't reach her closed eyes.

She pulled Syl back and whispered. "If I have to deal with this, so do you. I'm sure you can figure out a solution. You're a smart doggie." 2

Syl nearly started crying as he was dragged back into the fray.

For the next 20 minutes he was in a living hell trying to mediate with the boys and girls.

'Why me god? WHY ME!??!' 1

Chapter 40: Chapter 40

Eventually the class decided that a toilet was worth spending the 20 points on.

Syl walked out of the class meeting looking like a ghost.

He walked over to Ayanokoji. "You wouldn't believe the shit I've seen man! Terrible horrible things! Worse than anything you could imagine! I'm scared for life! That truly was a living hell!"

Ayanokoji nodded in understanding. "The girls are the scariest thing I've seen at school by far. They are the cruelest too."

Syl put a hand on his shoulder and wiped a tear. "You get me man. They're terrifying!"

Suddenly Horikita walked up and stomped on Syl's toes.

"You should watch where you step." She said indifferently.

Syl jumped on one leg and held the other in pain. "You fucking Chabashira knock-off! What's that for??"

Horikita ignored him. "What do you guys think we should do for this test?"

Syl finally set his foot back down as the pain slowly wore off. "Since when did you care about my opinion?" He asked.

"I don't, you two just happened to be here and are the only one's I can ask right now. Don't misunderstand." She replied.

Syl blinked. "Wow, how touching, I almost feel loved."

"You shouldn't." Horikita replied.

"Bah! Get over yourself." Syl scoffed.

"It's difficult to get over someone when they are good looking." Ayanokoji added on.

Syl tilted his head. "What's that gotta do with anything? No, why do you even know that?"

"I read it in a magazine on the school forum, it was right under, Top 100 best looking boys in the school." Ayanokoji stated.

"Bah! Don't remind me! I'll best you next time, my eternal rival, Ayanokoji!" Syl said as he started doing 500 handstand push ups. 2

Horikita sighed. "This is why I don't ask for your opinion. You just mess around like this, stop acting like Might Gai and get out of my face." 3

Syl stood back up normally and gasped. "You got that one?!"

Horikita nodded. "I watched Naruto when I was a kid, who cares?"

Syl grasped Horikita by her shoulders. "Who cares?!" He started shaking her as he spoke. " THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING!! HAHAHA!! THE ICE QUEEN GETS MY JOKES! SHE'S A WEEB!!" 2

Horikita shoved herself out of Syl's grasp. "Don't ever do that again, also, I'm not a weeb. Grow up." 1

Syl sighed. "Oh no, she's delusional! I guess we have to put her down… What a shame."

Ayanokoji spoke up. "I don't thin-"

"Ah! AH! Shhhh… Shhhh… It's alright. She's going to a better place now. It's alright. Don't cry, buddy." Syl comforted Ayanokoji.

Horikita snorted. "This is a waste of time. I'm going."

She turned and walked away.

Ayanokoji looked at her back. "Shouldn't we go after her?"

Syl shrugged. "Why? It's not like you were gonna help her or something. Unless you had a plan?" Syl asked.

"I don't understand what you're saying." Ayanokoji responded simply.

Syl smiled. "Then who cares? It's not gonna change anything anyway!"

Ayanokoji sighed and walked away. "I'm going to the bathroom."

Syl gasped. "Don't use my own excuse to get away from me! You bastard!" 2

Ayanokoji didn't respond and quickly sped walked away with Syl hot on his tail. 1

"Get back here!" Syl said while speed walking to match Ayanokoji's pace.

Suddenly Ayanokoji started jogging.

Syl joined in. "You can't run from me forever!" 1

Ayanokoji started running towards the bathroom. 5

Syl chased after him but was too late, as Ayanokoji already made it to the 'bathroom' area the class was using.

Syl wasn't gonna just walk into the bathroom to chase after someone…

At least not when the whole class was watching him do it!

If he was alone…

Who knows? 2

Syl relented and walked back to the rest of the class, striking up a conversation with Hirata for a while to pass time.

Eventually the conversation died down and Syl left.

He walked up to somebody else.

"Can you believe it?"

"Fufufu. It's only natural that I'm so perfect so of course I believe it." 1

"No, that's actually believable, I'm talking about the fact that they don't have any bears! How are we supposed to hunt now?!"

"Fufu. I was thinking of taking a dip in the ocean later."

Syl gasped. "You don't mean?"

"Fufufu. I haven't gone fishing in a while. I'll allow you to come watch my perfect self."

Syl chuckled and pat Koneji on the back. "That's a great idea! Hahaha!"

Koneji swatted his hand away. "Don't touch the hair."

Syl sweat dropped and slowly walked away. "Haha! My bad! I'll see you later!"

Syl eventually ended up running into Hirata again.

"Hey Syl, I just asked Ayanokoji to get some firewood, would you go with him?" Hirata asked.

Syl nodded. "Sure, I bet these guys don't even know what wood to use."

Hirata chuckled. "You seem to know a lot about camping."

Syl smiled. "Of course, I'm world class after all."

Hirata smiled. "Hahaha! Glad to have someone so experienced."

Little did Hirata know, Syl actually wasn't joking…

He really was one of the best in the world at this!

Syl just walked over to Ayanokoji and saw that Sakura and Yamauchi were going to join him.

"Mind if I join? Hirata thought it would be a good idea to have more hands on deck, so here I am." Syl smiled.

Yamauchi looked a little nervous. "Well, if Hirata said so…"

Syl chuckled and pat him on the back. Then Syl leaned in and whispered. "Don't worry, I won't get in you two lovebirds way!"

Yamauchi was stunned. "Was I that obvious?!?!"

Syl waved him off. "No, I'm just good at reading people. Right Ayanokoji?"

Ayanokoji shrugged. "How would I know?"

Syl clicked his tongue. "I thought I did a good job reading you…"

Ayanokoji shook his head. "I think you were way off."

Syl sighed. This guy still wouldn't admit anything! He was gonna hide until the very end! He still wouldn't tell Syl he was right about him being forced to take action this exam!

What a guy!

Anyway!

Syl noticed that Sakura was still looking at Ayanokoji intently, it seems that some things never change. Even though Ayanokoji never saved her from her stalker, she seemed to be very fond of him.

Syl shrugged. He really couldn't care less whether Sakura was in love with Ayanokoji or not. 1

"So, you guys ready to get going?" Syl asked. 1

Chapter 41: Chapter 41

The four fabulous figures fiddled for four fucking minutes. 1

Then they decided to fuck off with the alliteration and move on with there day! 1

The four walked through the woods to look for firewood.

Syl was constantly telling them the wood they found was bad and teaching them the right types of wood to use for fires while coaching them on what was good for the environment. 1

Eventually Sakura got sick of Syl's constant nagging and walked further ahead so she was out of earshot.

Syl didn't even realize as he was so focused on his story about the history of birch trees.

Eventually Yamauchi cut him off. "Syl, can I say something?"

Syl sighed. "Alright, but you're gonna miss out on the history of birch trees throughout the industrial period. That was my favourite part. So many exciting plot twists!!" 1

Yamauchi nodded. "I don't think I'll ever regret missing out, but thanks anyway."

Syl sighed. Nobody here appreciated his survival skills and knowledge! They just complained!

"Fine, next time you need help in this forest, don't even bother asking me!" Syl huffed.

Yamauchi looked around like he was scared of someone hearing him. "Guys, I think I'm gonna confess to Sakura."

Syl sighed. "Hey man, if you two like each other then have fun."

"Didn't you like Kushida?" Ayanokoji asked.

Syl made a gagging face behind Yamauchi's back.

Yamauchi turned to face Syl when he heard something but only saw Syl with a huge smile on his face.

He figured he heard wrong and continued talking. "Well, like, I kinda do, but I think I realized… you know?"

"Realized what?" Ayanokoji asked.

Yamauchi sighed. "She's out of my league."

Syl gasped. "No way! You're out of her league! Yamagod is unmatched! That damn angel is unworthy of you!" 3

Yamauchi smiled. "Thanks Syl."

Little did he know Syl was telling the truth.

Although it wasn't because he thought highly of Yamauchi, he just hated Kushida that much!!

What a bitch!

Yamauchi continued on. "I thought if it was someone like Sakura… you know?"

Syl sighed. "Honestly, I don't like the sound of that. Listen Yamagod, if you like Sakura, then I wish you the best, but if you're thinking something like 'she's good enough' or 'maybe I have a chance because it's her' I'd advise you to stop."

Yamauchi gasped. "I would never say that!"

Syl chuckled. "Then what were you thinking?"

"I was just… you know… it was that… like basically… so what I mean to say is… fine! Maybe you're right! But so what?! She never talks to anyone and has no friends! But she's pretty cute! I just never noticed her before she took off her glasses!" Yamauchi replied.

Syl sighed deeply. "That's a dangerous way of thinking, plus, it never works out in the long run."

Yamauchi scoffed. "You just wouldn't get it! You have girls all over you just cause you're a little good looking! You're just lucky!"

He snorted and walked off, trying to catch up to Sakura and make small talk.

Syl shook his head. "What an idiot."

Ayanokoji looked at Syl. "Is this okay? I thought you and Yamauchi were close?"

Syl shrugged. "Can you keep a secret?"

Ayanokoji nodded.

"I can't say I love the guy. I mean he's not horrible, but I don't really like the whole pervert act he and Ike put up, Sudo as well sometimes. Only Sudo and Ike have redeeming qualities, Yamauchi doesn't. I only hang out with him when Sudo and Ike are around because they like him." Syl replied honestly.

"So you aren't friends with him?" Ayanokoji questioned.

Syl nodded. "Not really, though he probably thinks we are. I just don't like the way he thinks, just like right now, I think that's an awful thing to do. If Sakura didn't already have a crush on you he might really succeed in making her his prey because she's vulnerable. I find the thought of that disgusting, if I wasn't certain he would get rejected, I'd stop it."

"You lied to him about being friends?" Ayanokoji asked.

Syl nodded.

"Do you do that often?"

Syl shrugged. "Only when needed. It's a social thing, if someone wants to think they are your friend, you're a worse person for telling them they aren't your friend then just not saying anything. I don't lie about it, I just never tell the truth either, I guess you would call it a lie of omission." 5

"Did you lie about us being friends?" Ayanokoji asked emotionlessly.

Syl chuckled. "50-50."

"What does that mean?"

Syl shrugged. "Am I your friend?"

"I believe we are." Ayanokoji replied.

Syl chuckled. "It's amazing how easily you can lie."

Ayanokoji looked away.

Syl continued on. "I do want to be friends. But it's impossible when you don't consider me your friend. Maybe one day you'll come to see me as a friend. But for now, I'm content with this."

Ayanokoji looked back at Syl. "Then what do you think we are?"

Syl shrugged. "You're someone I trust and want to get closer too." 2

Ayanokoji nodded. "You're someone I trust too. I would also like to get closer to you." 1

Syl laughed. "Hahaha! You really are amazing at lying."

Ayanokoji didn't say anything else.

'He really is good at reading people.' Ayanokoji thought.

'However he is wrong about one thing, I do really want to get closer to him, perhaps he could teach me what friendship is.' 11

Syl smiled. "I'll only become your friend if you really want me too, I won't be a test subject."

He walked away.

'Nevermind, he has completely seen through me.' Ayanokoji lamented in his head. 1

'Is making friends supposed to be this hard?'

"No, it's not!" Syl called back. 1

Ayanokoji sighed. "It's like he can read my mind." 3

Ayanokoji sped up his walking pace to catch up with everyone.

When he finally made it back he was stunned. There was a random stranger sitting down against a tree. Then Ayanokoji looked again and realized that it wasn't a tree, but another person!

Syl smiled.

[What are you doing here?!] He asked in English excitedly.

The person who Ayanokoji mistook for a tree turned around and held a finger up to his lips to shush Syl before pointing at the girl resting against his legs who was asleep.

Syl whispered. "Sorry." Before walking up to the person on the ground.

He bent over gently and reached out slowly like he was gonna shake her awake.

" WAKE UP!!" He screamed in her ear.

The person on the floor jolted back in shock, clearly she wasn't actually asleep and was just pretending.

"What the fuck!? YOU?! Why are you here?! Fight me!" The girl screamed.

Syl ignored her and looked back at the man.

[Can we talk now, Albert?]

(Authors note: When I use [This] When someone is talking, it means they are talking in english.)

Albert looked up at Syl then back down at the girl at his feet and nodded.

Then he pointed at the girl. [Annoying.] 1

Syl cracked up!

[HAHAHA! I know right!]

Yamauchi looked confused and annoyed. "What the hell are they even talking about?!"

Ayanokoji shrugged. "I'm not sure."

This guy lies as easily as he breathes! 2

What a guy!

The girl suddenly jumped up and charged at Syl.

"You bastard!"

She kicked at his face.

Syl went flying backwards!

He was lying on his back for a moment before sitting up and spitting out blood.

"Whut za fuck, Ibuki?!" He called out with a swollen mouth.

"Wha- huh?" Ibuki looked around completely stunned.

Albert stepped in between the two and spread out his arms to deescalate the situation.

"What are you doing Albert?! I have to kick his ass!" Ibuki shouted.

"Do you know who these guys are, Syl?" Ayanokoji asked.

Syl nodded. "When I took a piss earlier and got lost I met them, Albert helped me find my way back. I don't know what this toddler's problem is though…"

"I'm not a toddler!!! You bastard!!! Albert! Let me kill him!!" Ibuki shouted as Albert had to actively hold her back. 1

Albert looked back. [Sorry.]

Syl waved him off. [Not your fault she's a fucking child.]

Albert nodded.

"What did he say!?" Ibuki screamed.

Albert didn't respond.

"You damn gargoyle! Say something for once!" Ibuki shouted at Albert.

Syl got up. [Hey! Take that back!]

"I don't even know what the fuck you're saying!! Speak Japanese!" Ibuki called out.

Syl realized he spoke the wrong language. "Don't talk shit about Albert! He's a good guy!"

"Why are you defending him?! We're your enemies!" Ibuki shouted.

Albert sighed. Some spy she was, she just called them her enemy!!

Syl scoffed. What an idiot! She's gonna ruin the plan! It hasn't even been 2 minutes!

Syl sighed. "She doesn't seem to like me, so I'm gonna go, you guys can have a nice chat."

He walked away.

Syl headed back to the class only to notice someone missing.

Syl gasped. "He left without me!"

He quickly ran towards the beach.

When he got there he could only barely see splashes out in the distance as it was approaching nighttime.

"This guy… He started without me! " Syl muttered.

He sighed and ripped his shirt off, revealing his perfect body, it looked like it was chiseled out of stone.

He got into his yellow bathing suit and walked into the water.

When he got about waist deep he drew dawns ballad and cut his pinky finger leaving the blood to drop in the water before he started swimming out away from shore.

For the next 30 minutes Syl was swimming around the shore at Olympic level speeds. He might not be a great swimmer but his superhuman body allowed him to match their pace.

After the long wait Syl finally found what he was waiting for.

He spotted a 10 foot bull shark swimming in his direction. 4

Syl held his breath and slowed his movements, he made sure his pinky finger was still bleeding with a quick glance.

When the bull shark came within range Syl stayed still.

The bull shark inched even closer to him.

3 feet.

2 feet.

1 foot.

10 inches.

6 inches.

Then the bull shark unhinged it's jaw, bearing multiple rows of sharp, large teeth.

Syl made his move. He dodged sideways and wrapped his arms around the neck of the bull shark. 1

Syl's arms were too small to wrap all the way around its neck, but he still had enough of a grip on it to move it.

With dawn's ballad clenched between his teeth Syl wrestled with the shark and eventually flipped it upside down. 3

Syl let go of it and swam a few strides away.

He watched the shark struggle for a moment.

"HAHAHA! Fuckin dumbass! Can't even flip back over! Apex predator my ass! HAHAHA!" Syl laughed at the shark which was stuck.

Syl laughed to himself for another minute before he swam over and chopped the head off of the shark.

Syl stored the head in his system and swam back to shore with the body. 1

Chapter 43: Chapter 43

15 minutes later he was nearing the shore.

He got up out of the water and swung his head back to get the hair out of his eyes.

Syl walked over to the pink bunny towel he left for himself and started to dry himself off.

Someone approached him and noticed the dead 10 foot shark by his side.

"Fufufufu. Not bad, Syl-boy. Reminds me of when I used to hunt sharks." Koenji said as he looked at his nails.

Syl turned around. "So? Where's yours? We gotta see whose was bigger!"

"Fufufu. I recall telling you I was going fishing. My perfect self already ate my catch for dinner."

Syl looked over to see an empty campfire with multiple fish bones surrounding it.

"What?! I thought you were with me! Weren't we going to hunt sharks together?" 1

"Fufufu. I was going fishing. You just came to watch my perfect self catch food. I don't know why you decided to go hunting."

"Bah! That's boring! I wanted a hunting partner! Next time! We'll go after a bear next time!"

"That sounds interesting. You want me to teach you how to hunt a bear? I suppose I might be able to provide you with that service. Well, If I feel like it, then I'll guide you next time." Koenji said as he walked away into the night.

Syl lost his figure in the bushes after a minute, it was really dark out! And this was a forest! Even with enhanced sight he wasn't able to see everything!

Syl sighed. He kicked the shark. "What do I do with you now? My partner just ditched me to catch fish with his bare hands! Anyone can do that! I wanted to hunt a shark with someone!!" 5

Syl ignored the fact that hunting fish with your bare hands was insanely impressive! It was nearly impossible! Koneji was actually amazing for being able to do that!

It was probably just as hard, if not harder than catching a shark!

Sure a shark was more dangerous, but fish were more agile!

Syl shook his head in dismay before picking up the 300 pound shark without bothering to put his shirt on.

He trudged back to the class's camp site and set down the corpse.

Someone approached him. "Syl! You like totally missed role call! What happened?" Karuizawa asked, concerned.

Syl sighed. "My partner ditched me!"

"What are you talki- WHAT'S THAT?!" Karuizawa screamed when she saw the shark.

Syl pouted and crossed his arms. "They didn't have bears here so I found a shark, I thought that Koneji was gonna hunt with me but apparently he only went fishing. My partner ditched me!"

"No! What? That's not important! Are you alright? Did you get hurt anywhere? Wait, did you just say you hunted this yourself?! Nononononono, you're like lying right? That's impossible!" Karuizawa panicked and started checking Syl to make sure he was uninjured.

At this point the rest of the class started noticing the commotion and a crowd quickly gathered.

Syl sighed as his body was being checked for injuries. "I didn't really know what to do with it, so I brought it for dinner, it should save us a few class points."

Ibuki noticed this and her jaw dropped. "I knew you could fight! Did you really kill this thing yourself?! Fight me!"

Syl groaned in annoyance. "Why would I fight you?! I can't fight!"

"You're lying! I saw it in your eyes earlier! I'll never lose again!" Ibuki yelled.

"We never fought before! You just kicked me in the face for no reason! You're like a toddler! You just yell and scream until you get your way and don't listen to reason!" Syl called back.

"Wha- You bastard! I'll kill you!"

"See! You didn't even listen to what I just said!"

"Did too!"

"Then what did I say?" Syl asked.

"Uhh… it was… you called me a toddler!"

Syl sighed. "See, you can't even remember, you're more like a goldfish."

Ibuki didn't even understand what that meant but still got angry and charged at Syl.

"STOP!!!" Karuizawa screamed.

Ibuki didn't listen to her and attempted to kick Syl in the face again, only for her foot to be stopped by a large hand.

The man who caught her foot shook his head. 1

Syl sighed. [Thanks]

Albert nodded his head in acknowledgement.

"Like, what the fuck is wrong with you?! Go back to your own class, bitch!" Karuizawa yelled at Ibuki in annoyance.

Hirata showed up. "Now, now. Let's all calm down. I'm sure it's a misunderstanding."

Karuizawa scoffed. "What misunderstanding?! This bitch just showed up out of nowhere and acts like she's hot shit! Are you seriously taking her side, Hirata?!"

"I'm sure that there is a reason for all of this. Right, guys?" Hirata looked at the two class B students.

Albert shook his head. He looked disappointed.

Ibuki scowled. "I didn't do anything wrong. It's all HIS fault!" She pointed at Syl.

Karuizawa looked at Hirata accusingly. "They don't even have an excuse!"

Hirata started to sweat. "Okay, let's just take a deep breath, everyone is really stressed out being on this island." 1

Karuizawa was fuming. "I can't believe you! You said you would be there for me!"

Hirata continued to try and placate Karuizawa. "I can't just do everything for you, I need to help everyone in the class, you understand, right?"

"What class?! The bitch isn't in our class and she attacked Syl! OUR CLASSMATE!! He's our friend, Hirata! Who's this girl?! Some spy from class B? You're talking bullshit!" Karuizawa spat. 5

"She was attacked by her classmates. We can't just abandon her. Plus, Albert stopped her, and he's also from class B. They aren't spies, they need our help." Hirata replied.

Karuizawa nearly exploded on him again when Syl spoke up. "GUYS! I'm fine! It's all good. Let's just have some shark for dinner! Eh? How's that sound? Good right?"

"You guys have fun." Karuizawa huffed and walked away.

Hirata looked at her go and sighed. "Can you-"

"Sure." Syl responded.

Hirata nodded. "Thanks again."

Syl smiled. "No problem, whatever you need, man. I'm here for you."

Syl pat Hirata on the back and walked away.

Chapter 44: Chapter 44

Syl made his way through the forest in the direction he saw Karuizawa leave.

After a short while of walking he saw something extremely disturbing.

Syl saw a wet sticky substance on a branch ahead of him.

"Is that… blood?"

Syl's face hardened and he started sprinting while activating his observation haki.

Within 30 seconds he saw a figure and heard light sobs coming from the area.

"Are you alright?! I saw blood!" Syl asked in a panicked voice as he approached Karuizawa.

She turned around with a panicked look on her face.

Syl instantly noticed the fact that she had a massive hole in her shirt.

Syl noticed a small cut on her rib cage right under a giant scar.

He sighed in relief. It was a tiny cut.

He ripped a sleeve off of his shirt and handed it to her.

"Here." He said as he looked away.

"Sniff… sniff… T-thanks." She grabbed it out of his hand and tied it around her torso, covering both the wound and her scar.

Syl chuckled while looking to the side. "No problem, Karuizawa."

She sniffed again. "Did you see?"

Syl nodded. "Luckily it was a small cut. I'm glad you're not seriously injured."

"T-that wasn't what I meant." She replied nervously.

Syl looked back at her.

"Then I don't know what you're talking about." He said with a shrug. 3

She smiled through her tears. "Thanks."

Syl smirked. "I don't know what you're thanking me for, but, no problem doggie."

She snorted in laughter as she sniffled. "You're a doggie, dummy."

Syl sat down on the log she was sitting on beside her facing the opposite direction.

"How are you?" Syl asked.

"... Fine."

Syl chuckled. "You know, the hardest part is taking that first step. Reaching out."

She wiped a tear. "I don't know w-what you're talking about."

Syl looked up towards the night sky. "Wanna hear a story?"

Karuizawa nodded.

"Once upon a time there was this boy. He was a super cool and handsome little guy, but he was alone. He woke up one day in a strange place when he was just a wee little lad. Turns out he was in a foster home. He didn't even remember his parents or anything before the foster home for that matter." 2

Syl sighed.

"Then one day, he was adopted. He got to meet new parents. Now these parents weren't like most adoptive parents in stories, they were amazing parents! They were super nice and loved their son unconditionally. They became this little boy's heroes. In fact, he loved them so much that when he went to school for the first time next year, he bragged to all his classmates about them."

Syl chuckled and shook his head.

"'My parents are the bestest! They picked me up from the foster home and gave me lots of things!' He would shout on the playground. However, the other kids quickly realized he was different, and children don't like those who are different. The little boy was isolated, made fun of. He was bullied by all his classmates, for being different, for being adopted."

Karuizawa gasped. "How horrible."

Syl smiled sadly while looking at the stars.

"Indeed, children are very cruel beings. Anyway, this little boy didn't know how to deal with this. Even at the foster home the bullies weren't this cruel. At school they started to make fun of him and excluded him from everything, they even started hitting him and stealing his things. He didn't want to tell his parents because he didn't want to be sent back to the foster home."

Karuizawa started crying harder.

Syl continued on.

"He kept his mouth shut for years. Never telling a soul about his injuries or any of his bullies. He used anime and manga to escape from reality. When he was reading stories about his favourite heroes saving the world, he felt invincible. He no longer felt like a powerless little boy. However, back in Canada, many kids frown upon things like anime and manga. 'Nerd! Loser! Fag! Creep! Weirdo! Freak! Etc.' He was only bullied harder when they found out about his interests. However, he never stopped reading and watching them, these shows and his parents were the only things keeping him going. He had long lost the thought of a brighter future, he didn't even dare wish for it, he was just content living as he was, a victim." 3

Syl clenched a fist.

"Then one day, everything changed. When he was at hockey getting undressed one of his teammates saw a bruise on him. The teammate confronted him about it, but the boy denied anything. He didn't want to be sent back to the foster home or lose his parents, he was only 9 years old at this point. However, after a week of being asked, the boy finally broke. He cried and told his teammate everything that was happening. The teammate told his parents, who told the boy's parents and the boy was terrified. Except, instead of criticizing or belittling the boy, his adoptive parents cried and apologized. They said they were sorry for not noticing and helping the boy even though it was hard for him. They talked to the school and the bullies faced punishment, and the boy transferred schools." 4

Syl sniffled.

"Once he went to the new school he once again said the same things. 'My adoptive parents are the best! I love them so much!' However, this time, instead of making fun of the boy, his classmates were happy for him. 'We're glad you found good parents! What are your parents like? I've never heard of someone with adoptive parents before, so cool!' He received support from his peers. From then on, his life became 1000x better. He was a much happier person, although he still had scars from his past, he learned to move forward. He enjoyed his life for years after, until one day his parents died and he moved to Japan, where he searched for new interesting things to fill the void in his heart…" 3

A tear streaked down Syl's cheek.

He sniffled and wiped his eyes.

Then he chuckled. "Pretty fun story eh? Anyway, moral is that sometimes although it's scary, you need to take the first step and reach out. The first step is the hardest one after all."

Karuizawa broke down into a fit of tears.

Syl smiled and pat her back as she cried.

After about 15 minutes she was finally able to speak again.

"You feeling a little better?" Syl asked softly.

She nodded. "Y-yeah a l-little."

Syl chuckled. "That's good."

She nodded lightly.

Syl smiled as he looked at the moon overhead. "It's getting kinda late, they might come after us soon, or maybe they'll think we're doing… naughty things." 1

Karuizawa scoffed. "As if I'd do it with you."

Syl chuckled. "Don't worry, I'd never do it with a dog anyway."

Karuizawa lightly smacked him. "That's my line."

Syl laughed. "Whatever you say, dude."

Karuizawa smiled and shook her head.

She sniffled. "Thanks again."

Syl nodded. "Anytime, I know Hirata isn't the best at this kinda stuff, so let me know anytime. You're one of my best friends here, so it's really my pleasure to help."

She smiled and nodded. "You're a great friend, Syl. You can ask me for anything if you're ever in need. You know?" 2

"Bah! Who needs a dog's help!?" 1

Syl got a swift smack for that one.

He chuckled. "Just kidding, thanks, Karuizawa."

She nodded. "Hey… can I rant?" 2

Syl smiled and nodded as he faced the sky once again. "Anytime."

She sighed. "Where do I start?"

"How about you not dating Hirata?" Syl asked.

She gasped. "You knew?" 1

Syl chuckled. "I'm good at reading people. Plus, it's kinda obvious."

She was shocked. "Well, since you already know… let me tell you why…"

Over the next few hours Karuizawa talked all about her past, her being bullied, her scar, her and Hirata's fake relationship. Syl listened intently and asked questions.

Eventually Karuizawa finished. "... so that's how it all went."

Syl nodded. "See, it's not so bad, is it?"

Karuizawa shrugged. "I guess not… though, I don't think I'll tell anyone else."

Syl shrugged. "Up to you, I won't spill the beans."

Karuizawa nodded. "Thanks."

Then she yawned.

Syl chuckled. "It's getting late, huh."

She nodded tiredly.

"Let's get back then?"

Karuizawa hummed in agreement.

She yawned again before saying something. "Kei."

Syl looked back at her. "Pardon."

Syl smiled sweetly. "Just call me Kei, it feels weird calling you by your first name when you don't do the same."

Syl smiled. "Sure thing, let's head back, Kei." 2

The two of them walked back to camp together. It was probably past 1 am by now so everyone else was asleep.

Except the one person sitting by the fire.

Syl led Kei back to her tent before sitting by the fire.

"Long night?" Syl asked Hirata.

He nodded in response.

Syl chuckled and wrapped his arm around Hirata's shoulder. "Take a breather man. Not everything is on you. Relax, you got this."

"Thanks, but I need to make sure everything is perfect, everyone has to be happy."

Syl sighed. "I won't try to stop you, but at least hear me out."

Hirata nodded.

"What you're trying to do is impossible, let alone the inevitable fact that sometimes classmates will disagree, there will come a time when a sacrifice is necessary. Feel free to keep at this approach, but prepare yourself for when the time comes you can't save everyone."

Hirata shook his head. "I won't allow that time to come."

Syl stood up. "You can't stop it. It's like trying to stop the moon from shining. It's just impossible, don't wear yourself out, Hirata. You're a good guy, don't let anyone tell you differently, even yourself."

Syl walked off to the tent and got into his pink bunny suit before crawling into bed. 2

Hirata looked back at the fire and smiled.

"Thanks Syl, but I can't allow the past to repeat itself." 1

Chapter 46: Chapter 46

The next morning.

Syl woke up with a yawn.

He sat up and noticed all the guys in his tent staring at him.

"What?" He asked.

"What the fuck are you wearing?" Ike asked incredulously. 2

Syl looked down, only to see he was wearing his normal clothes.

"My favourite clothes, I've told you all about them before." 1

He stood up out of bed and put his slippers on. Completing the outfit with the pink bunny onesie and night vision sunglasses.

He walked out of the tent in his pink bunny suit as all the guys watched him leave with dropped jaws.

"HE WAS BEING SERIOUS???" Sudo called out in shock.

"Is that his secret? Maybe that's why all the girls like him! I'm getting one!" Ike called out.

"But Hirata isn't wearing one! That can't be it!" Yamauchi screamed as he nibbled on his fingernails nervously.

"Just what is his secret then!?" Ike screamed angrily. 1

All the other boys nodded along.

"It's inconceivable that he would actually wear that." Yukimura commented.

"Yea! What the fuck's wrong with him?"

"Isn't that gay?"

"It's kinda cringe ngl."

The boys started gossiping about Syl.

One boy just shrugged.

"I don't see anything wrong with it." Akito said calmly.

"What?! Are you blind?! Guys quick! He's going blind!" Ike called out in a panic.

Akito shook his head. "What's wrong with all of you? Just leave the guy alone, if he likes it then who cares? Plus, I think it's pretty nice." 4

Akito walked away leaving the rest of the boys in a daze.

Outside the tent. Syl was ignoring all the haters and vibing.

"I'm at a payphone!! Trying to call home! All of my change I've spent on you! Where have the times gone? Baby it's all wrong! Where are the plans we made for two?" 4

Eventually the girls were awoken by the commotion and a few of them walked outside to see a bizarre sight.

Syl was singing, standing over the fire and roasting the shark he hunted while wearing his pink bunny slippers, pink bunny onesie and his night vision sunglasses. 5

What a guy!

The girls made their way over.

"I love the energy!"

"Can I have some shark for breakfast?!"

"I still, like, totes' can't believe he actually hunted that! So cool!" 2

"I love the outfit!!!"

"It's so great!!!"

"This is so cute! Where did you get it?! I totally want one!"

Syl sighed in exasperation. "Ladies, please, one at a time." 7

They all giggled while sitting by the fire with Syl and chatting all away.

The boys watched with clenched fists from their tents.

"How does he do it?!"

"That bastard is even worse than Hirata!"

"I'll kill him!"

They were all turning green with envy! Maybe they would need a green hat to match?!

Just kidding! Fuck NTR!!! 15

Syl would never!

He was a bro! Never go for a fellow bro's girl! 4

Syl just continued cooking the shark and ended up serving it to all the girls as the guys never came over. Well, other than Hirata, he happily joined in.

When they finally took a bite half the girls passed out with a smile on their face! Hirata's clothes even exploded off of his body! 1

Syl was a master chef! This was the best meal they had ever eaten! It wasn't even close!

Even Koneji took a bite and was impressed! He had never had something this good before and he'd been to many Michelin star restaurants!

He silently considered making Syl his personal chef… 2

That's just how amazing Syl's cooking was!

Syl got up after he finished eating and stretched.

He walked over to the tent to go change.

A few girls were sneaking glances at the tent, hoping to get a peek. 1

The guys flipped out! This was all backwards! They were supposed to be peeking! Not the girls!

If Syl heard this he would have gave them all a bonk! 7

No peeking! Not only is it creepy and disgusting, it's illegal!

Syl hated the trope that normalized sexual harrassment! 3

So do I! Let the women live their lives in peace!

Eventually Syl made his way back out of the tent in the school tracksuit they were all required to wear.

Everyone was looking at him as he exited the tent. Syl didn't even realize the amount of commotion he caused this morning.

This was just an average morning for him! How was he supposed to know everyone would act so weird for no reason?! 2

He just continued on with his day as normal without a worry in his mind.

Later on Ayanokoji walked back to the class and told them all that Ryuuen was having a party.

Syl hopped out of his seat. "Cool! Let's go!"

Horikita stopped him before he could do anything else. "You can't. It's most likely a trap."

"Bah! Who cares?! Trap shmap! Let's go have some fun!" Syl called out while waving her off.

Horikita furrowed her brow. "No."

Syl sighed. "You're no fun!" He sat back down and pouted.

Kei smirked when she saw this. "You made the doggie sad! How mean!"

Syl gasped. "What did you call me? I'll kick your ass! I'll kick your whole family's asses!" 1

Ibuki heard this and shouted. "So you can fight! You liar!!"

Syl grit his teeth when he heard this. He forgot this thing was here! 9

"Fuck, don't you know what a joke is?! I'm obviously not gonna hit a girl! Especially not my friend or her family! What part of that did you think was serious!?" 1

"So you won't fight me because I'm a girl?? You sexist pig!" Ibuki called out.

"You're not a girl! You're a toddler!" Syl screamed back.

"Wha- I You're the toddler!" She rubutled.

Syl took a deep breath. "Dear lord, please help me in my time of need, for I'm finna beat this bitch's ass so bad not even you can give her retribution. Amen." He whispered a prayer. 10

Syl wasn't even religious! He was just that desperate!

"What did he say?!" Ibuki yelled.

Kei frowned. "None of your business! You toddler!"

Syl smirked when he heard this.

"Wha- You take that back, bitch!" Ibuki yelled at Kei.

Syl froze. "What did you just say?"

"I called that bitch what she is!" Ibuki huffed.

"Take that back." Syl said in an eerie calm voice.

"No! If you want me to so badly, then fight me!" Ibuki screamed.

Syl shook his head.

Then he smiled and walked away.

"Only I can call her a bitch!"

"What's that mean? You've never called me that before." Kei asked. 1

Syl smiled. "Why do you think I call you doggie?" 1

Kei froze.

"You bastard!" She screamed as she chased after him with a hand ready to slap at any moment.

Syl ran off into the forest laughing

"HAHAHAHAHA!!!"

Syl looked over his status and smiled.

"I've already come a long way. By the way, what is my body's name?"

[Ding! Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to say anything about that. God's rules and all that. You understand right?]

Syl chuckled. "Yeah, well, who cares? It's more interesting this way."

Syl went to bed, obviously he was wearing his pink bunny suit.

The next morning.

Nothing new happened.

Syl cooked everyone more shark in his favourite clothes again.

Then he got changed and went about his day. Eventually Ayanokoji and Sakura come back claiming to have found some food growing on the island.

Everyone went over to collect some and bring it back.

Then nothing else happened that day! So Syl went back to bed without doing much, he even successfully avoided Ibuki while getting to talk to Albert for a while.

Syl loved that guy!

Albert was the best! 4

Syl woke up the next day. It was already the fourth day of the test and he felt that he needed to finally put in some work.

So he woke up early and went for a little strole.

Within 15 minutes he had already found his destination.

Syl walked over to Class C, Ichinose's class's camp.

He walked over towards the people going about their day with his stealth skill activated.

Syl walked towards a few people trying to remember the face of the girl who was the class leader.

Eventually he found her and double checked by looking at the card she had in her jacket pocket. Once he confirmed this he put it back and walked away. Going completely unnoticed.

Syl walked away from the camp and pulled out a walkie talkie.

"Yo Captain! Over!"

A few seconds of silence passed.

"... What is it?" Ryuuen replied on the other end.

"Chihiro Shiranami. Over."

"Kukuku. Do you have proof?" Ryuuen replied with a laugh.

Syl chuckled. "Nope, but I saw her card with my own eyes. Over."

"That's not gonna work for Katsuragi." Ryuuen replied simply.

Syl laughed. "Who cares? You can't say I didn't do my part, I got you guys both the class leaders. Now you have no excuses to fuck with me later. If you really want to confirm it then let your spy figure it out. Over."

"Kukuku. If you're that confident then I believe you, I'll see what Kaneda says. Also stop saying over after every sentence."

"Stop saying what? Over."

"Stop saying over after every sentence just cause we are on walkie talkie's"

"Stop saying what? Over."

"Stop saying… I fucking hate you. This is over." 1

"This is what? Over." 6

Syl was met with static instead of a response.

"What an asshole! He didn't even tell me what he was trying to say!" Syl called out.

Later that night.

Syl walked into the boys tent and saw that Ike had a pair of girls underwear in his bag. He was currently freaking out.

"W-w-what do I do? They're gonna kill me! Shit! Fuck!" Then he turned and saw that Syl had entered the tent.

"Help! Someone put these in my bag! Help me out man!" Ike called out desperately.

Syl looked at the underwear and shrugged.

He walked over and picked it up before putting it in a plastic zip lock bag he was gonna use for cooking.

He put the bag in his pocket and walked out of the tent.

Ike sighed in relief. "What a great idea! Get rid of the evidence."

Ike then watched Syl walk towards the girls tent and started sweating. "H-he's not gonna rat me out? I didn't even do anything! Shit!"

He was freaking out right now.

Syl knocked on the frame of the tent and Ike could only see him and a few of the girls talking.

"It's over. I'm dead." He mumbled as he flopped down in his sleeping back regretting his liffe choices.

Meanwhile,

Syl approached the girls tent and knocked to get their attention.

Kei, Shinohara and Matsushita answered.

"What's are place like you doing in a girls like this?" 9

"Huh?" They all asked.

"What are girls like you doing in a place like this?"

"That's not what you said." Shinohara pointed out.

Kei sighed in exasperation having already had to deal with this before.

Matsushita giggled as she understood the joke.

Syl looked offended. "Of course that's what I said."

Shinohara frowned. "No. It's not."

"Then what did I say?" Syl asked.

"I don't know, but it wasn't that!" She replied.

Syl shook his head. "So you're calling me a liar! How could you? So mean!"

"Wha- no! That's not what you said! Right guys?" She asked Matsushita and Kei.

Kei just sighed. "Don't even bother with him." 1

While Matsushita tilted her head confused. "What are you two talking about? That's totally what he said."

Syl nearly gasped out loud at the unexpected partner in crime. However his acting talent helped him hold it in.

"What?! Really?" Shinohara asked, confused.

She was genuinely concerned that something was wrong with her for hearing Syl wrong.

Matsushita and Syl nodded.

"Maybe you should get your ears checked?" Matsushita commented.

"... Maybe I should…" Shinohara said absentmindedly.

"Guys! Stop! You're like really fucking with her head! Shinohara, don't listen to him! He's messing with you!" Kei interjected.

"Then what about Matsushita?" Shinohara asked.

"I don't know… maybe she's just messing with you too?" Kei asked, suddenly less certain about herself.

"What? I would never do that to you girls!" Matsushita defended herself.

"Maybe I just heard wrong then…" Kei trailed off, confused.

Syl looked at Matsushita and they both held back laughter.

These idiots fell for it!

Syl cleared his throat. "Actually, I came here for a reason."

"What's up?" Kei asked.

Syl handed over the plastic bag. "I found these outside, I figured you guys could figure out whose these are."

The three girls gasped when they saw the panties.

Kei instantly snatched them and hid them inside. She came back out. "Thanks, that could have been really bad."

Syl nodded. "No problem, well, see ya, I'm sure you don't really want me around for the whole finding out who's those are, so I'll be off now." 1

Kei nodded. "Thanks again, see you later, doggie."

Syl chuckled and walked away.

He arrived back at the tent not noticing the person following him.

Chapter 48: Chapter 48

When Syl approached the boys tent Ike ran out and nearly assaulted him.

"How could you?! I thought we were friends!" Ike screamed as he tackled Syl to the ground.

Syl was confused. "We are. Why?"

Ike was on the verge of tears. "Some friend you are! How could you sell me out! I told you I didn't do anything! You bastard! Asshole! You killed my social life!"

Ike smacked the ground with his fist. "It's over!!!"

Syl sighed. "I didn't-"

"I thought you said you found them outside?" A female voice sounded from behind Syl.

Syl chuckled nervously. "Haha, Matsushita! Just the person I wanted to see! Would you believe me if I said it's a long story?"

"Not one bit." She said with a smile.

Syl sighed. "You did this to yourself." He told Ike.

"W-what did you say?" Ike asked.

Matsushita 'smiled'. "Your friend on the floor there told us that he found them outside, I wonder what really happened though?"

Ike was stunned. Syl was trying to help him the whole time! Who knew?!

"I-wh-I -what? Pfft. Who said that? Heh … he.. Haha… hahaha." Ike tried to play it off. 1

Matsushita looked at Syl. "So what really happened?"

Syl sighed. "It wasn't Ike. Someone left them in our tent, he just happened to find them… in his luggage… Okay I know it sounds bad, but it really wasn't him. I've seen him all day and he's been with other people." 1

Matsushita narrowed her eyes suspiciously.

Ike started sweating really hard and slowly crawled away on the floor.

"Is that your best excuse?" She asked.

She turned around and acted like she was going to call the rest of the girls over.

Ike saw this and fell to his knees. "Don't please! I swear on my life! I swear! I didn't do it!"

Matsushita sighed. "Can I talk to Syl for a moment?"

Ike nodded frantically and ran away.

Syl smiled wryly. "I get how this looks, but it really wasn't him. You know I'd never help out someone who actually did something like that, right?"

Matsushita pursed her lips. "I've heard good things about you from the other girls, and cause your friends with Karuizawa, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, but I need a better explanation, or the real culprit."

Syl chuckled. "Thanks, but I think you already know who it was, right?"

Matsushita thought for a moment. "What do you mean?"

"I mean, it's pretty obvious, if you think for more than two seconds. Who benefits from our class's discord? You're smart, I'm sure you've already figured it out." Syl said confidently.

Matsushita sighed. "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Sure. Anyway, thanks for the assist back there." Syl said with a smile as he stood up and dusted off his pants.

Matsushita giggled. "It was pretty funny."

Syl nodded. "It works every time."

Matsushita looked back to the girls' tent. "I should probably head back, I told them I was going to the bathroom. See you around, we should talk more."

Syl nodded. "After that performance? Of course we should! We're a perfect team!"

Matsushita smiled and walked away. "We were pretty great."

Syl sighed when she left. "Phew, if that was anyone else, we would have been fucked."

Syl walked back to the tent and went to bed.

About 30 minutes later Syl was abruptly awoken by the sounds of shouting.

He got out of the tent.

"What's up?"

He asked as he rubbed his eyes with his pink sleeve.

"Someone stole Karuizawa's underwear!" A girl shouted.

"Huh?" Syl asked, he was shocked!

He turned to Ike, who shrugged. It seems he knew nothing about it.

"Didn't you give those back?" Ike asked him.

Syl nodded absentmindedly. "Yeah…"

"Then what's going on?" Ike asked.

Syl shrugged. "I have no clu- unless. That bastard did it again!"

Ike gasped. "What? Twice in one day! What a madman!"

Syl trembled in rage, he was so done with that fucking toddlers shit!

Syl walked over to the large group. He soon found Matsushita.

"What's a place like you doi-"

"That won't work on me." Matsushita cut him off.

Syl scoffed. "Impossible! It works every time!"

Matsushita shook her head. "Not this time."

Syl gasped. "S-she's immune!" 2

Matsushita sighed.

Syl smiled and got serious. "I told you it wasn't Ike."

She nodded. "I'm started to believe you."

Syl frowned. "So you didn't before?"

She looked away. "50-50."

Syl smiled. "You round up 0.5 so technically you did believe me." 2

"That's not how that… nevermind." She trailed off.

Syl shrugged.

"Apparently they are searching all the boys and their luggage. So you should probably head back."

Syl nodded and walked away. "See you later."

"See ya."

Syl made his way back to the tent. He opened it up and grabbed his luggage, only to find the panties in his own luggage!

'That bitch did it on purpose!' Syl thought before sighing.

He smiled and walked out.

"Someone looking for these?" He asked everyone as he handed the panties to the nearest girl, which happened to be Horikita.

"Syl, whose bag did you find them in?!" Shinohara screamed, never thinking for a second Syl would have been the one to steal them.

Syl shrugged. "Someone left them in my bag."

"What? It was Syl?" One of the girls asked.

A couple of the girls started accusing him of stealing them while a small few girls argued that it wasn't Syl and that they should hear him out.

"Syl, explain why you had them!" One girl shouted.

Syl just awkwardly shrugged. "I honestly just found them in my bag two seconds ago, the moment I saw them I brought them out, no clue how they got there."

At this point the girls all started losing faith in Syl, accusing him of being a pervert, an asshole, a creep and many more things.

Syl just sat down at the fire and made himself some food while everyone screams insults at him. A few people defended him, especially a few of the boys, but Syl just tuned it out.

"It really wasn't me. How could you accuse the guy in a pink bunny suit of being a panty thief? It just makes no logical sense." He said casually as he started cooking some more shark.

Syl wasn't very concerned because he knew that Karuizawa, who was the owner of the panties, would know it wasn't him. Eventually this misunderstanding would be corrected.

It was then that Kei walked out of the tent with red eyes. "It wasn't Syl!"

The girls all stopped talking and listened to their queen, who was the one whose underwear was stolen in the first place.

"How do you know that?" Sato asked.

"Because, Syl already found a pair outside earlier! They were mine as well! He gave them back to me without telling anyone because he thought I lost them! The real thief clearly tried this earlier but was scared off by Syl! Then he decided to frame Syl for it!" Kei shouted out. 1

Syl took a bite of shark. "Oh yea! That happened too!"

"Did that really happen?" Sato asked suspiciously.

Matsushita stepped in. "It did, I was there, so was Shinohara."

Sato looked at Shinohara, who was the #1 hater of the boys in the group.

Shinohara nodded. "It's true."

The girls all gasped! They had been accusing the wrong guy the whole time! 1

"... sorry." Sato said quietly.

Syl nodded. "No problem, it's a pretty scummy thing to do, so I understand why you're all upset, but I really didn't do anything."

The rest of the girls started apologizing to Syl one by one and he forgave them all instantly.

Syl just ate his meal in peace as the class was arguing and fighting with each other.

Eventually Ayanokoji walked up to him. "Aren't you going to help them out?"

Loud screams and yelling was heard in the distance as Syl stared at the campfire.

"This is fine." He said with lips pursed into a smile. 3

"Is it really?" Ayanokoji asked.

Syl nodded. "I mean what do you want me to do about it? I think the boys in this class need a wake up call to stop being such creeps, this is a good thing. Learn from their mistakes before they even make them."

"Before they even make them?" Ayanokoji asked.

Syl nodded. "Let them learn that they shouldn't ever do this, before they ever do it in the first place."

"But it's already done." Ayanokoji pointed out.

"But none of the boys did it." Syl countered.

"What do you mean?"

Syl smiled. "You already know who it was, right?"

Ayanokoji was silent.

Syl chuckled. "Anyway, it's Chihiro Shiranami."

"What is?" Ayanokoji asked.

"Class C's leader." Syl said as he stood up and walked away.

"I'm not going to finish that so feel free to have some." Syl said as he pointed at the rest of the shark. 1

Ayanokoji sighed and picked up the plate before taking a bite.

"Wow, this is really good." 6

Chapter 49: Chapter 49 1

Eventually the girls decided to move their tent away from the boys as they still thought that one of them stole the panties.

They decided to let Hirata, Syl and Ayanokoji help them out as they are the only ones that were trusted out of the boys.

Over the next few days Syl was watching his class fall apart and argue constantly. Not even Hirata had any effect anymore.

Syl put on his sunglasses and laid down on the beach.

"It's been a while, give me 10 spins Sys."

[Ding! Host has paid 100,000 points for 10 spins!]

[Host as received. (Skill upgrade) [1 to all skills] x1, (Race Change) [High Human] x1, (Body optimization pill) [Perfect body] x1, (Sharingan) [3 Tomoe] x1, (Training token) [10 years] x2, (Purple Bunny Slippers) x1, (Duplicates) x3] 12

"Geh! So OP!"

Syl instantly grabbed the body optimization pill as his body glowed yellow. He gulped it down and used the two training tokens on his Sharingan and his devil fruit.

He opened his eyes and looked at his reflection in the water. He was suddenly 1,000,000x better looking! He also didn't see any change in the way his eyes looked other than being a sharper yellow. 3

"Can I not use the sharingan?"

[Ding! Host can, however host's eyes will not change as that does not make any sense in this world.] 3

Syl smiled. "Cool!"

He felt like he could see things in slow motion. He was also able to see things in much greater detail and practically zoom in if he focused on something. He also felt like he had more of a photographic memory, he didn't have a perfect memory but if he thought of something he wanted to, he would see a picture of what was happening around him at the moment he remembered it.

It was like security footage, it's useless if you don't look at it or remember it's there but if you do look at it, then you can see exactly what happened. Syl was also super excited about something else. He grew!!

He was now 5 foot 6.25 inches! 10

He grew 0.25 inches!

So lucky!

He also felt like he could finally understand his devil fruit. It really was useless! 1

Syl couldn't do anything with it until he died! However! Due to the 10 years of training he would be able to revive immediately if he ever died! Unlike Brook who became a skeleton, Syl would be able to keep his body! 1

Syl considered allowing himself to pass on in order to gain the devil fruits weird powers, but Sys was heavily against it.

Eventually Syl decided to be content with the extra lifeline. Who knows when you might die? 2

Right?

Syl's body was now perfect in every way due to the body pill. He had perfect looks and a perfect body as well, he also had all his muscles compacted and perfected so they would never grow again no matter how strong he got. He would never become a bodybuilder! Although he also did get stronger due to his race change and body optimization. 2

Being a high human was an amazing thing! It increases your strength, enhances your mind, increases your charm and most importantly, gives a massive boost to magic! It was like being able to choose a wizard as a class! Only it was a race change! Your mana and mind stats went way up! But being a high human was even better as it boosted strength and charm as well! 3

Syl was now super hyped!

He was so proud of himself!

Even though he did nothing!

It was all Sys!

Syl really should say thank you sometime…

"I'm the best! I'm so cool now!!! Isn't that right Sys??"

[Yes. Host is the best ever.] 1

"I knew it! Even Sys thinks so!"

[Would you like to see your status?]

"Fuck yea!!!"

Luck: Error

Charisma/Charm: EX 6

Syl spent the rest of the day staring at his own status.

He was in love!

What a weirdo! That's like staring at yourself naked all day!

The next day.

Syl woke up and noticed that it was raining.

He quickly changed out of his pink bunny suit to make sure it didn't get wet. When he finally got into his clothes he went about his day.

Then nothing really happened…

Today was the big day! Why was nothing happening with Syl?!

Simple! He wasn't with Ayanokoji!

Syl was off doing his own thing until a fire started.

The whole class started panicking and losing their shit.

Even Hirata froze at one point. He just stopped, like he was broken or something.

Syl watched this all happen and sighed. He pulled out a bowl of popcorn and started eating it as he watched. 2

Eventually Ayanokoji showed up.

He looked at Syl eating popcorn and watching the chaos.

"What are you doing?" He asked. 1

"Isn't reality Tv great?" Syl responded with a smile.

"Why don't you help?"

Syl shrugged. "This is kinda funny."

"This is what you find funny?"

Syl nodded. "Isn't it super interesting? What's gonna happen next? I'm on the edge of my seat!" 1

Ayanokoji sighed. This guy is a lost cause.

Ayanokoji was about to walk away when Syl suddenly stopped him.

He pulled out a pair of purple bunny slippers and handed them to Ayanokoji.

"These are for Albert." Syl said. 2

Ayanokoji took them, confused.

Syl looked at Ayanokoji. "You are going to chase after them right? They just left a few minutes ago."

Ayanokoji looked down at the slippers in his hand then back at Syl.

"You want me to give these to Albert? Did you get any for me?"

Syl smiled. "I got just the thing!"

He pretended to reach into his bag as he pulled out another pair from his system space.

"Here ya go! I thought a red pair would suit you." Syl beamed. 4

"You actually got me some? Why?"

Syl smiled. "Anything for a friend!"

"But you said that we aren't fr-"

"Anything for a friend!" 1

"Whatever you say." Ayanokoji said as he walked off with two pairs of bunny slippers in hand.

Syl laughed at the chaos surrounding him.

"I bet Albert'll love em'!"

Chapter 50: Chapter 50

That night Syl realized that Horikita was missing.

She never chased after Ibuki and Albert so Syl wondered when it happened.

Alas! He didn't care that much! Today was the last day of the uninhabited island exam!

Everyone was in a slightly better mood because they were almost back to civilization!

The class went back to the starting area to gather for the results.

Ryuuen strolled over as the only student left from his class.

"I thought they didn't allow dangerous animals on the island, so what's a gorilla doing here?" 1

Sudo heard this and was pissed. "What did you call me?!"

Ryuuen smiled. "Kukuku. I guess it's true that monkeys have bad hearing."

Sudo tried to charge at Ryuuen but was stopped by Hirata. "He's just trying to provoke you."

Sudo huffed and stopped trying to get at Ryuuen.

"So where's Suzune?" He asked as he looked around.

Sudo flared up again. "Don't call her that!!" He said as he grabbed Ryuuen by the collar.

Syl, who was listening in on this conversation smiled to himself.

"Kukuku. Get your hands off me monkey, I wanna play with Suzune right now. I wonder what face she'll make when she's faced with defeat?" 2

Syl chuckled. "I wonder what face you'll make."

Ryuuen looked at him with suspicious eyes. "What did you do?"

Syl smiled. "Nothing. I just enjoyed the ride this time."

Ryuuen was starting to get worried that he couldn't see Horikita now.

Then Mashima sensei started to announce the results.

"Now, on to what you all have been waiting for, the results of this special examination. In last place, we have class B with 0 points…"

Ryuuen looked shocked for a moment before realizing what happened. "Kukukukuku. Did you really do nothing, Anomaly?"

Syl smiled and nodded. "Ask your spys if you don't believe me."

"Kukukuku. Interesting, I see now." Ryuuen laughed at his own defeat.

Mashima continued on. "... in third place, is class C with 40 points."

"What?! But we should have 190 points!" One of the Class C students yelled out.

"You're right, unless… all three classes guessed our leader." Ichinose pondered aloud.

At this point Ryuuen cracked up. "Kukukuku. This is interesting."

"... In second place, we have Class A with 190 class points."

Katsuragi was suddenly assaulted with insults for not coming in first place like he promised.

He just looked at Syl and pondered something.

"... And in first place is Class D with 285 points."

"U-us?" Sudo asked.

"We won?" Ike echoed.

"We did it! HAHAHAA!!!" One of the boys called out in joy.

"How?" Matsushita asked out loud.

Ryuuen walked over. "Kukuku. Who's idea was that? I like the way they think."

Syl shrugged in response. "I told you, I had absolutely nothing to do with it, I don't even know what happened. Though, I think we can both guess based on the results."

Ryuuen laughed again. "Kukukuku. So many interesting prey around. I don't know who to eat first."

Syl smiled. "You seem awfully happy for someone in last place."

"Of course, I already got what I wanted. I also found a new playmate. Who needs an extra 100 class points?" Ryuuen replied nonchalantly. 1

"Remember that I got you an extra 100,000 points a month, that's like, a lot per year." Syl said as he struggled with the mental math.

"You mean 1,200,000 a year?" Ryuuen answered for him.

"Yeah! That! I knew that!" Syl quickly interjected.

Ryuuen just shrugged and walked away. "I already forgot."

Syl sighed. What an ungrateful bastard!!

He joined back up with the class.

Eventually he walked over to Ayanokoji. "How's our class leader doing on this fine day?" He asked with a smile.

"I really can't hide anything from you." Ayanokoji said helplessly.

"Did you figure it all out?" Syl asked.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Ayanokoji refused to admit anything.

Syl smiled. "Did you need my hint back on the boat, or would you have figured it out either way?"

Ayanokoji walked away. "Thanks to you we were able to guess class C, class B and class A's leaders."

Syl gasped. "Wait! Don't use me as your scapegoat! I never agreed to this!"

Ayanokoji looked back. "Don't you think it's the least a traitor could do for his class?"

Syl was speechless.

" HE'S LEARNING!!" Syl cried out in horror! 1

The perfect human was becoming perfecter! 2

How terrifying! 2

Chapter 51: Chapter 51 1

The class all made it back to the cruise ship.

Syl checked out the class rankings after the updates to class points.

Class A (Sakayanagi): 1017 8

Class B (Ichinose): 831

Class C (Ryuuen): 813

Class D (Horikita): 789

Syl smirked when he saw the results.

"Isn't this way more interesting?" He thought aloud.

"Fufufu… The class is doing well, even without relying on my perfect self." A voice came from behind Syl.

Syl didn't even turn around to face him. "You really should dry off before leaving the pool area, Koenji."

"I've never used a towel before, it impedes my body."

"Whatever you say."

"Fufufu. Though, I must say, it's impressive how our class won after you betrayed them. Maybe Horikita girl isn't as dumb as I thought."

Syl laughed. "Is that so?"

"No, I wasn't wrong, it was obviously someone else." Koenji said as we walked away with a mysterious smile.

Syl laughed and walked back to his room. His roommates were Hirata and Akito.

When he got back he noticed that his room was empty.

[Congratulations on passing your first special exam, you have received 5 spins.]

[Ding! Host has received. (Marksmanship) [Usopp] x1, (Medical knowledge) [Med school] x1, (Duplicates) x3] 6

Syl shrugged. "Decent." 1

As Syl was relaxing in his room two people entered.

Both of Syl's roommates walked over.

Hirata had a huge smile on his face. "That was a great idea!"

Syl paused for a moment. "What?"

"On the special island test. We heard about your plan from Ayanokoji and Horikita." Akito added.

'That guy actually did it! He told everyone it was me! Fuck! Katsuragi's gonna be pissed!'

Sure enough, Syl got a call from an unregistered number at that very moment.

Syl sighed. "Sorry guys, gotta take this, thanks though."

The two nodded and let him go.

Akito turned to Hirata. "I'm surprised he thought of that, it's a really good idea."

Hirata nodded. "I still can't believe that Ibuki was a spy… Yamada too."

Akito shrugged. "It wasn't that surprising, especially with the way she acted around Syl. She constantly tried to fight him for no reason, it was really suspicious."

Hirata sighed. "... I still don't regret helping her."

Aktio nodded. "Well, in this case it led to us winning over the other classes."

Hirata silently nodded.

Outside the room.

Syl was on a call with Katsuragi. "... No, I swear I did nothing, ask Ryuuen's goons about it… No, that wasn't the deal, remember, no matter the results of the exam you have to pay me… I don't care if you think I scammed you. I told you before you signed, you still had to beat the rest of my class… Yeah, you guessing the leader wrong due to unavoidable circumstances isn't my fault, I also didn't even know it happened until after the exam ended… Exactly, I didn't do anything wrong, so I'd be grateful if you have my money prepared for the 1st… Love you too, bye." 2

Syl smiled as he hung up the call. "How exhausting! I even warned him about it before! Damn cheap bastard trying to back out!"

Just when Syl was about to return to his room he received a text on his phone.

[A new special exam will start soon.]

Syl chuckled and walked back inside. "You guys ready for round two??"

Akito and Hirata groaned in displeasure at the thought of another special exam right after that last disaster.

Syl chuckled. "Buckle up buttercups! This is gonna be great!" 1

Later that night, Syl had already gone to his first meeting for the exam, he was on Koenji's team. He was currently strolling on the deck when someone approached him.

"Hi! Syl right? I think we met before!"

Syl turned around at the unexpected appearance. "Yea, and you're Ichinose, if I recall."

She smiled. "Yup! I heard you came up with quite the strategy in the special exam!"

Syl sighed, he didn't really want to take credit for other people's work, but it would be more troublesome to reveal that it was Ayanokoji.

Syl smiled. "You know me! Always got something cooking in here!" He said while pointing at his head.

"Haha, sure!" Ichinose responded awkwardly.

How are you supposed to respond when a total stranger says 'you know me!'??

Syl chuckled at her response. "Congrats on reaching class B again, even though we are all still far behind class A right now, that's still a big achievement."

"Thanks! It was a class effort though!"

"Bah! What class? I'm sure you did a lot as the leader!"

"Well, not really… anyway, I was just wondering what happened?" Ichinose asked suddenly.

This seemed to be the reason she approached Syl.

"What do you mean?" he responded feigning ignorance.

"Well, you guys must have guessed our class leader based on how many points we had. I heard that you were the one who came up with a way for your class to get first place… I was just a little curious, sorry if I'm overstepping."

Syl turned around and relaxed his arms on the railing as he looked out over the ocean. "It's a beautiful night, isn't it?"

"Sorry?" Ichinose asked, confused as to why he just ignored her questions.

"I think it's beautiful." Syl responded to himself.

"Umm… am I interrupting something?" Ichinose asked awkwardly.

Syl was silent for a moment before deciding something. "Hey, Ichinose. What's more important? Reaching class A with the majority of your classmates, or being class D with all of them?"

"What… I'm not sure I understand what you're asking."

Syl pursed his lips. "Let me rephrase. Would you rather graduate as class A with 35 of your current classmates or graduate class D with all of them?"

"Umm… can't I reach class A with all of my friends?" She asked innocently.

"That wasn't the question." Syl responded calmly.

"Then, I'm not sure I can answer your question. I want to reach class A but I also can't bare to see any of my friends leave."

Syl hopped up on the railing and sat down with his legs hanging over. If he leaned even slightly forward he would fall into the water.

Ichinose immediately ran over to him in order to make sure he didn't fall.

She grabbed his blazer and tried to pull him backwards, only for him to not move an inch.

"Careful!" She screamed.

Syl didn't even turn back to face her. "You sure learn how to make a choice."

"What? No, just get down from there! You could fall!"

Syl turned around and smiled. "Isn't that your only option left?"

"...What? What are you talking about?"

"If you won't sacrifice your classmates for success then your only option is to sacrifice other classes. But you don't even seem willing to do that." 1

Ichinose gasped. "Are you telling me to let you fall?" 2

Syl smiled and leaned forwards.

Ichinose panicked and grabbed him with every ounce of strength in her body, hoping to keep him from falling.

After a minute of struggling she finally pulled him back up and tackled him to the floor.

"Are you insane?! Never do something like that again!" Ichinose screamed.

Syl smiled while lying on the floor as he looked up into Ichinose's eyes. "Ryuuen and Sakayanagi would have let me drown."

"No! They wouldn't! Nobody would just sit by and watch as that happened!" Ichinose refused to believe in such an awful reality.

"Being kind is something people look for in a person, however, naivety is looked down upon. You should learn the difference."

Ichinose shook her head violently. "You're wrong! Why can't you believe that I will win?!"

Syl stood up while pushing Ichinose off of him. "I'm not wrong. There's a reason why benevolence is one of the commandments but greed is one of the sins. That reason is people like you, Ichinose, people who possess naivety." 6

Syl walked back over to the rail.

Ichinose was stunned. She was sitting on her knees on the floor still.

"Wh- bu- no. He's wrong. Becau- He's wrong becaus-... He can't be right. I can do it! We can! Our class will rise to the top together! That's what we agreed."

Syl sighed. "Ah yes, the herd mentality. String them all along to their doom before they even realize they are walking the plank."

Ichinose shook her head. "That's not true. We are strong because we work together!"

Syl smiled. "If I were you, I'd learn how to answer my question soon. If you are fine with being class D then by all means, go ahead. But if you want to reach class A you need to face reality. Let go of your greed, Ichinose." 1

She looked up at him with a mixture of emotions in her eyes. Even she wasn't sure what to think.

He stood up on top of the railing again and leaned backwards.

"Until next time." He said as gravity took him by force and he started to fall.

As Syl was falling with his hair fluttering in the wind he saw Ichinose's figure standing over the railing after she failed to catch him.

It was so peaceful. What bliss.

He allowed himself to free fall for a while longer before he hit the water with a dive.

He popped his head out of the water and waved at Ichinose who was still staring at him, thinking he might have been seriously hurt. He fell at least 12 stories!!

"It's a good night for a swim." Syl said with a smile.

Then he gasped.

"Maybe I can catch another shark!?" 5

That night Syl returned to his room with 2 more shark heads in his inventory.

The next day.

Syl was walking by when he saw someone nagging Koenji to start helping out the class and pull his own weight.

Syl smiled and waited until Koenji was alone.

He popped his head out. "Yo! What's my second favourite perfect human doing here all alone?"

"Fufufu. It's refreshing that someone else realizes my perfection."

Syl chuckled. "You betcha, anyway, I got a deal for you."

Koenji didn't even look at Syl. "I already agreed to finish this exam. It happens to align with my goals."

Syl shook his head and pulled out his phone. "You seem to have misunderstood." Syl showed him the screen of his phone with an email ready to be sent with the name of the participant who was the target.

Koenji looked at it and didn't say anything. Though he did seem slightly taken aback.

Syl smiled. "You want the private points right? Well, I want to get the class off my back for the uninhabited island exam and want a few private points. If you make a deal with me to split them 50/50 then I'll let you answer the question instead."

"Fufufu. What if I refuse?"

"Then I'll hit send and get all the private points for myself." Syl replied simply.

"Fufufu. Horikita girl and Hirata boy would never let you go if you got the question right, didn't you just say you wanted to go unnoticed."

Syl shrugged. "I'll just say I was bored and took a shot in the dark. I thought that this person was suspicious and just happened to guess right."

"Fufu. That is undeniably something you would do."

Syl nodded. "Plus, that isn't my main reason for this."

"Oh? Do tell."

Syl smiled. "It would be boring if I gave them the answer, this is way more interesting. This is also needed."

"Fufufu. I can't say I care for such a trifle. However, you intrigue me."

Syl smiled wryly. "I'm getting that a lot lately. I feel like I attract all the wrong people…"

"Fufufu. Very well. We have a deal."

Syl didn't even bother to get it in writing or try to shake on it. He just smiled and walked away.

"See you later, Koenji."

Syl received an email that his special exam was over 5 minutes later and 250,000 points 6 minutes later.

He walked home.

When Syl arrived at home Akito and Hirata were all over him.

"What happened? How did you get your target?" Hirata asked hopefully.

Syl shrugged. "I don't know man. Koenji just guessed someone. I had no clue it was him and I was in that group."

"Damn, I wish we could find some way to figure out who it was. Maybe there is a connection."

Syl changed into his pink bunny suit as Hirata responded.

Akito looked over. "I really like the outfit."

Syl smiled. "I got an extra pair of slippers if you want."

Akito pointed at himself. "Really? I can have some?"

Syl nodded and pulled out a pair from his bag. "I got you blue ones. Ayanokoji has red ones and Albert has purple ones."

Akito smirked. "Thanks."

Syl nodded before turning off the lights. "I'm going to bed."

The next day.

Syl was strolling through the halls when eventually Ayanokoji stopped him.

"Hey Syl."

Syl paused and turned back to face him. "What's up?"

"Did you do something to Ichinose?"

Syl smirked. "I gave her a little advice, why?"

"She's been acting strange the last few days. I was just curious as to why so I asked her and she muttered something I couldn't really hear, I only heard her say your name."

Syl chuckled. "I just gave her a little lesson on chistianity, the 10 commandments and the seven deadly sins." 1

Ayanokoji didn't believe that for a second. "Alright, well. I'm going to leave first, Horikita wanted to talk to me about the exam." 1

Syl stopped him for a moment. "How's everything going?"

Ayanokoji answered. "It's fine, things are progressing smoothly so far. Thought I don't know who the target is."

Syl smiled. "Really? I do. It's pretty simple."

Ayanokoji sighed. "I'll pretend I didn't hear that."

Syl chuckled. "I heard that Kei's having a rough time in your group. Look out for her, okay? Don't let anything too bad happen to her."

Ayanokoji was silent for a moment before nodding. "Since when did you call her Kei?"

"The island. Don't worry, we aren't dating or anything, you still have a chance." Syl replied calmly.

"I'm not trying to date her. No, first of all, she's dating Hirata."

"And Kushida's an angel." 1

Ayanokoji didn't reply. "I'm going first."

He walked away before Syl could stop him again.

A few seconds after Ayanokoji left Ichinose walked up to Syl.

What were the odds?

Very good!

They were in the same group after all…

Anyway!

Ichinose walked up to him with a concerned look on her face. "Are you alright? That was a really high fall! You could have gotten seriously injured!"

Syl smiled. "Don't worry, I'd never get hurt by something like that."

"Stop messing around! How could you be fine after that?"

Syl smirked and walked away. "I'm just built different." 5

"What? What does that even mean?" Ichinose stood still, confused. 6

Chapter 53: Chapter 53

The next day.

Syl was bored, so, he decided to do something fun.

He waited until the group meetings for the day ended and entered Ayanokoji's groups room.

"Yo! Can I join in?" Syl asked everyone.

The class A students got up to leave.

"Woah! Hold up!" Syl called out before they could leave.

"We're going. Katsuragi told us not to talk to anyone, sorry."

Syl sighed. "Then I guess you can't get any points."

The three froze.

"What?" One of them asked.

"I heard from my friends here that you guys were playing cards. Since my group ended so early I'm bored, so I asked if I could join in and play. But, if you guys are too scared, then I guess that's that." Syl said sadly. 1

"What did he just call us?"

"Did he say we'll play for points?"

"I used to be a great poker player…"

"Fine. We'll hear you out."

Syl smiled. "Like moths to a light." He muttered.

Syl clapped his hands. "Alright, how about we play one person for each class as a representative and we play with four players. I'll put in double the money anyone else has to make it fair because I'm not in the group."

One of the class A students scoffed. "Don't mess with me, you'd need to have double our points for that to work."

Syl smiled eerily. "Did you forget? I'm rich after winning that basketball game. Unless you have over 100,000 points right now, then I think this works."

"... I'll play." The class A student said.

Syl smiled. "Great! Then, Ichinose, who's in for you?"

Ichinose looked at her two classmates. They mumbled something for a moment.

"I'll play." Ichinose eventually said.

Syl smiled. "Great, let's get started."

"Wait! What about us?" One of the class C (Ryuuen) girls called out. 2

Syl sneered at them. "Fine, who's playing."

These were the bitches who were bullying Kei! Syl hoped they would drop off a cliff!

"I- I will." The girl replied nervously when she saw Syl's expression.

Her guilty conscience was probably making her nervous.

Then Kei spoke up. "So like, who decided you would play for us? Can you even play cards?" She accused Syl.

Syl turned to her and looked at her like she was an idiot. "Can I even play cards? Why don't you be a good doggie and watch me rinse these guys?"

Everyone else in the room froze, afraid of Kei's reaction. She was already a super cold person and super mean to everyone else, but now that someone insulted her like that? She might really kill him!

Kei just sighed. "Why don't you just be a good dog and make me some money?"

Everyone gasped!

She wasn't mad?

How is this possible?!

Syl chuckled. "Who said I was sharing?"

Kei kicked him in the shin. "You better."

Syl hopped on one foot while holding his injured shin. "Fuck! Fine! Fine! What the fuck was that for?"

Kei smiled evily. "For everything."

Syl grumbled. "This is why I call you doggie, damn bitch."

He quickly received another kick to the shin. "OW!! What the fuck?!" 2

Kei smiled. "Dogs never learn from their mistakes." 4

Syl grit his teeth. "Fine, you win this round."

Syl sighed and shuffled the cards, dealing them out.

He smiled boldly when he saw his own.

"Let's get started."

The group went around, raising the bets.

The pot eventually got up to 5870 points with only Syl and the class A student left in the game.

"Are you sure you want to keep going?" Syl asked with a bold smile.

The class A students started to get nervous. "Maybe we should fold?" One of them muttered.

"No! Not with this hand, let's just match his bet." The player said.

They matched Syl and raised the pot to 6270.

Syl frowned and showed his hand. 2 of hearts and a 4 of diamonds.

The class A students were stunned with their hand of 2 queens.

Kei saw this and tilted her head. "Who won?"

"We did! Obviously! What was that?" He yelled at class D.

Syl pouted. "I thought they would fold…"

Ayanokoji pondered something for a moment. 'Did Syl really think that? He seems like he knows what he's doing, would he really make such a rookie mistake, and not even put on a poker face?' 2

Syl sighed and handed the cards to the next dealer.

The next hand.

Syl was expressionless.

"All in." He said the moment his first turn to raise happened.

"Wha- All in?!"

Everyone else instantly folded.

Syl showed his hand of a pair of Kings with two more on the table. Quadruple kings.

Syl smiled. "I did it!" He cheered out excitedly.

They rest of the classes mumbled about how dumb he was. He only won 300 points that pot… he had quadruple kings…

This went on for a while.

Eventually it went like this,

Class A: 140,000 points

Class B: 60,000 points

Class C: 10,000 points

Class D: 130,000 points

Syl was looking down at his hand and sweating.

"I'll raise 10,000." He said nervously.

The class A kids smirked. "We fold."

Everyone else followed suit and Syl's hand showed, showing a flush.

Syl only won 1000 points that hand.

This guy was terrible!

The class A guys were super happy!

Syl took a deep breath. "I won. Good."

The class A guys were shocked! What a rookie!

Yukimura, who was behind Syl spoke up. "Let someone else play! You have no clue what you're doing! You're almost as bad as Karuizawa!"

Kei snorted. "Nobody asked you, four eyes."

Yukimura grit his teeth. "What's with you and thinking you're better than everyone else?! You barely passed the midterms! I can't believe I have to be in a class with people like you."

Syl turned his head backwards. "Watch your mouth, I can't believe I have to be in a class with someone who scored as low as you on the midterms. And I thought you were supposed to be smart?"

Yukimura furrowed his brow. "I got the second highest in the class!"

Syl shrugged. "Still 35 points less than me."

Yukimura was furious. "Don't act like you're better than everyone just because you scored a little higher!"

Syl got up in his face. "Why not? Mad I'm stealing your whole personality?!"

Yukimura froze. "What?!"

Syl laughed in his face. "You don't like it? Someone insulting you just because you were a little worse than them? That's hilarious! What did you just say to Kei again?"

"I- wha- but she scored horribly!" Yukimura defend himself.

"Yea! In my eyes, you scored horribly too! Is that so hard for you to understand?" Syl countered.

The rest of the group was looking with hungry eyes. 3

"Guys! Stop! Aren't you classmates?! He's your friend! Syl, stop being so mean!" Ichinose said as she stood in between the two.

Syl was silent for a moment. "As long as he understands."

Yukimura was silent.

"I'm leaving." He walked away without even turning back.

Syl sat back down at the poker table with a sour look on his face.

Chapter 54: Chapter 54

The class A guys were super excited, if he was that bad before, then how bad would he be now?

They looked at each other and nodded, this was the time to go for the throat.

3 hands later.

Syl looked at his cards with a huge smile. He only had 120,000 points left in the game after starting with 200,000. Class A was now at 165,000 after starting with 90,000.

Class C was already out, those random girls really had no clue how to play.

Class B was sitting with 100,000 points.

Syl's smile set off the alarm bells in his opponent's head.

Ichinose realized what was going on.

"Syl, maybe you should fold?" She asked.

The class A students looked at her with hateful eyes.

Don't ruin this for us!

Syl shook his head. "Why would I fold? I have such a great hand!"

Syl's classmates behind him facepalmed. Even Kei was starting to realize how badly Syl was doing.

Ichinose folded early, not willing to scam Syl out of his money. However, the class A students had the opposite thought. This was the round to rinse him! He just got into a major fight and has been unstable for the last few hands! He was more obvious than ever! 1

They started slowly raising the pot, and Syl always matched and then raised more.

Within a few minutes there was a pot of 110,000 points per person.

The class A student smiled and raised 10,000.

Syl paused for a moment, looking really nervous.

"All in." Syl said after a while.

All three class A students smiled.

"We did it! AHahaha! What an idiot!" They flipped their cards, showing a two 10's.

There were another two tens on the board. 4 of a kind!

Syl sighed sadly. "You guys got me. I really thought you would fold that time…"

He showed as he put down a six and a seven of clubs.

The class A students froze when they saw his cards before trying to grab all the chips and leave.

" I-I think we played enough."

"We'll be going!"

They tried to run away.

Syl had an evil smile on his face as he looked away from everyone. And covered his face like he was ashamed of himself.

Ayanokoji was about to speak up but was interrupted before he could.

"WAIT! Stop trying to cheat! You guys lost!" Ichinose called out before they could make it out the door.

Syl perked up. "What?! But they had four of a kind!"

Ichinose sighed. "You shouldn't play a game you don't know the rules of."

She pointed to the 10 of clubs, the 9 of clubs and the 8 of clubs before pointing at Syl's 7 of clubs and 6 of clubs.

"It's a straight flush. Syl won the hand." She pointed out.

Syl jumped for joy. "Really? I did! Hahaha! Who knew you could win with a 6 and a 7?? Against four of a kind too!"

The class A student reluctantly came back over.

They all had frowns and scowls.

The ranks were now.

Syl in first place with 240,200 points, Ichinose in second with 99,900, class A in third with 44,900 points. 2

The class A students were pissed. "So lucky! He didn't even know he won! Bullshit!"

"Why did Ichinose have to tell him?"

"He have to win out money back, just cause he got 1 lucky hand doesn't mean we can't win!"

They all agreed to keep playing.

Within 15 minutes Class A was out of money.

Syl had 270,500 points, Ichinose had 115,500 points and Class A had 0 points.

"Wha- How? How did this happen?!"

"Beginners luck! This is bullshit!"

"Katsuragi's gonna kill us! He told us to stay away from this guy!"

"Shit!"

They all ran out of the room in fear.

Syl smiled and shuffled the cards like a pro.

"Moth's to a light."

Ichinose looked up at him. "How did you do that?"

Syl smiled. "Let them taste victory before you crush them. A peasant can stay a peasant his whole life, but if you make him a king for one day, then he will never live as a peasant again. He will always try to become king again, until the very end."

Ichinose gasped. "You were just toying with them?!"

Syl smiled. "They were just blinded by their own greed. See what greed does to people? They didn't even realize they were losing until they had nothing left."

Ichinose was silent. "You didn't… Was that whole game just to teach me a lesson?"

Syl stood up and walked away. "Too much poker for one day, I'm out." 1

His classmates quickly joined after him.

Kei raised a brow. "You know Ichinose?"

Syl shrugged. "She asked me for some advice."

Kei smirked. "Someone's got a crush~."

Syl gasped. "Do not!"

"Do too~! Anyway, Hirata is waiting for me, I'll leave first." Kei giggled as she walked away.

It was just Ayanokoji and Syl now.

Ayanokoji was silent for a second. "Was that really just to teach Ichinose a lesson?"

Syl smiled. "What do you think?"

"I don't think you did."

Syl chuckled. "You're right. I was just bored. I just realized the parallel between those guys and her halfway through the match."

Ayanokoji nodded. "You also just decided to teach Yukimura a life lesson?" 1

Syl chuckled. "Well, he can't stay that way forever, eventually he needs to wake up and realize his growing god complex is dumb."

Ayanokoji narrowed his eyes. "So it was just a coincidence." 2

Syl laughed. "It really was, I just wanted to have some fun and win some private points."

Ayanokoji paused. "I see… This is my room, I'll head out first."

Syl nodded. "See ya later!" 2

He walked off humming the tune to a song.

Chapter 55: Chapter 55

Later that night, Syl went out.

He went to the adult bar and snuck in with his stealth.

He ordered an orange juice and ate his meal in peace. 5

Being on an all expense paid trip was awesome!

As he was eating his chicken fingers and fries a group of three people walked over and sat at the table next to him.

"Why did you break the rules, Chie?" A older girl asked the other girl.

"You broke tradition." The guy with them added on.

"Tehe! I figured that Ichinose could use a challenge. What's so bad about that, Sae?"

The people behind Syl were Chabashira, Hoshinomiya and Mashima! What are the odds?!

Syl was so lucky! He just wanted to eat chicken fingers and fries! He had no clue this would happen!

Chabashira furrowed her brow with a slight pout. "You didn't put your class leader in the dragon group. Are you trying to help your class out? You know that's not allowed. You can't give students special treatment." 2

Hoshinomiya giggled. "But aren't you doing the same thing?"

Chabashira looked annoyed. "What?"

"You're totally focusing on Ayanokoji and Syl." Hoshinomiya smiled.

"I'm not doing anything like that." Chabashira replied simply.

Hosinomiya giggled and ordered an alcoholic drink.

"Are you sure you're not basing your judgement on personal grudges, Sae?"

Chabashira seemed really annoyed. "No, you're the one who broke the rules."

Hoshinomiya shook her head innocently. "I wonder if you're thinking about what happened 10 years ago? I really just thought that Ichinose needed to learn a lesson."

Chabashira was about to answer, antagonizing, when a voice sounded from the booth next to them.

"Then you don't need to worry, I already taught her a lesson." Syl said as he poked his head out over the booth like a little kid.

"Wha- What are you doing here?!" Chabashira was the first one to respond.

Syl looked at her like she was an idiot. "I obviously wanted food. Why else would I be at a bar?"

"To drink." Hoshinomiya answered as she took a sip from her drink.

"Bah! I'm underage!"

Hoshinomiya giggled. "That's never stopped me."

Syl nearly fainted as his nose bled.

"Marry me." He mumbled.

Hoshinomiya giggled. "So cute~!"

Chabashira frowned. "Chie, stop messing around. He's my student."

Hoshinomiya giggled. "Is Sae marking her territory?"

Chabashira was stunned and silent for a moment. "... No, I won't date my student." 1

Hoshinomiya laughed. "Who said anything about dating him? I can't believe that's what you were thinking!"

At this point Mashima stepped in. "That's enough. Students shouldn't be here."

Syl looked shocked and ducked back behind the booth. "No students here!" He said in a deep voice to imitate security. 1

Hoshinomiya giggled.

Even Chabashira snorted a bit.

Mashima sighed. "I know you're still there, Syl."

Syl popped his head back up with a sour look on his face. "Bah! Damn teachers having object permanence!" 1

Hoshinomiya pat him on the head. "So cute~! Sae, can I have him? Please? Pretty please?"

Chabashira frowned. "No."

"With a cherry on top?" Syl asked.

Chabashira grabbed his ear and pulled. "Don't start trying to leave the class." She grumbled.

Syl pouted. "But she's so nice to me! Plus she's super cute! You're just mean! Damn dictator!"

Chabashira glared at him.

Hoshinomiya pulled Syl from Chabashira's grasp and into her own chest. "See? Even he wants to join my class! Don't be so mean, Sae!"

Syl nodded in agreement. "Yeah! Don't be so mean, Sae!"

Chabashira stood up and slammed both her palms on the table.

"Don't call me that." She said with a glare.

Syl pouted. "Then stop being so mean! Right, Hoshinomiya?"

She giggled. "Call me Chie."

Syl smiled. "Yes! Chie!"

Chabashira grabbed Syl and ripped him away from Chie. "Leave. Now." She said angrily.

"Hmph! Fine, but I'm taking my chicken fingies with me!" Syl stomped away with his chicken fingers in hand.

Chie nearly melted into her chair. "SO CUTE~!" She squealed. 6

Chabashira sighed. "You need to stop messing with the students. They might get the wrong idea."

Chie pouted.

"Who's messing with him?" She mumbled. 1

"Pardon?" Chabashira asked as she couldn't hear.

"Nothing~!" Chie replied as she ordered another drink.

The next morning.

Syl walked out in his pink bunny suit and saw Chie groaning on a bench on the deck.

He walked up.

"What's a place like you doing in a woman like this?" He asked. 1

"God? Is that you? I never expected you to be so cute and fluffy! And pink! Give me a hug!" Chie grabbed Syl and pulled him in towards her.

Syl offered no resistance as he had a silly smile on his face.

He looked like Rudy! 7

"Hehehehe." Syl giggled in happiness.

After a few minutes Chie realized something was wrong. She pushed him off her and looked at him. "Syl? Why are you here? Where did god go? Why are you a bunny?"

Syl looked at her seriously. "I have no clue what you're talking about."

She looked like she was about to say something when she held her head in pain. "Ow! There's the hangover."

Syl smiled. "Here."

He quickly gave her a massage and used his medical knowledge to do what he could to lessen the pain.

After a few minutes Chie had a relaxed smile on her face as she moaned in pleasure at the massage.

"Mhmmm. That's the spot."

Syl had two wads of his infinite toilet paper stuffed in his nose to keep himself from bleeding.

Eventually he finished up. "You should be good as new."

Chie giggled. "That was the shortest hangover ever! You're the best!"

She leaned in and gave him a small peck on the cheek.

Syl fell backwards with hearts in his eyes.

Chie giggled. "You look super cute in pink! It like, totally suits you!"

She smiled as she walked away.

Syl was laying on the floor with a blissful smile on his face and a red mark on his cheek.

"Heheheheheheheheehehehe…" 5

Chapter 56: Chapter 56

The next day.

Syl was having lunch with Horikita and Ayanokoji.

"Suzune! Are you enjoying our vacation?" Ryuuen casually strolled up.

Syl ignored him. [Yo Albert! What's up?]

Albert walked away from Ryuuen and over to Syl.

[Thanks.] He said as he pointed at his feet.

Syl nodded. [No problem! Do they fit?]

Albert nodded.

Syl chuckled. [Have you checked out the gym here?]

[Yeah, it's great, though the machines don't go very high…]

Syl sighed, [I know right? Like who maxes a squat at 200?] 5

Albert nodded sadly.

Ryuuen started trying to antagonize Horikita and get her to fight him… If only he knew how boring that would be for him right now. He would win so easily!

Syl ignored them and continued talking to Albert. [What about that girl?]

Albert looked away kind of shyly. [I don't know yet… I think she might be scared of me.]

Syl waved him off. [Who would be scared of such a nice guy? Want me to talk to her for you?]

Albert shook his head. [No. You might steal her.]

Syl was shocked. [What? Me? You think I'd do that to you?]

Albert shook his head. [You wouldn't try to, but she might just like you anyway. Do you really not know how popular you are?]

Syl tilted his head. [Not really, I mean, I like to think I look good, but I don't really know.]

[A lot of girls like you, I even heard some girls in my class talking about you yesterday.]

Syl pointed at himself. [Me?]

Albert nodded. [You always got a lot of attention, but after the island test, you started to look different. You got better looking, a bunch of people are talking about that.]

Syl chuckled. [Really? I had no clue people noticed.]

Albert nodded. [They said your #1 in the school now, even better than Nagumo.]

Syl laughed. [HAHAHA! That's great! That guy never deserved first place!]

Albert shrugged. [I don't know what your problem with him is.]

Syl smiled. [I don't really have a problem with him, he just has a punchable face. And he's easy to hate. Honestly, I kinda like his ideas about individuality.]

[Really? I like the current student council president's way of doing things.] Albert replied simply.

Syl shrugged. [I don't mind it, but I do think it's kinda dumb that you can get stuck in a shit class and be unable to move up.]

Albert nodded. [I guess.]

At this point Ryuuen called over. "Albert, we're leaving."

Albert looked sad. [Sorry, gotta go.]

Syl chuckled. [No problem… wait, take these!]

Syl gave him a pair of night vision sunglasses that looked just like the sunglasses he was already wearing.

[What are these?]

[New tech! Sunglasses you can wear at night! They help you see in the dark! I wear them all the time!]

Albert put them on. [Thanks.]

He and Ryuuen walked off together.

"Love that guy!" Syl said happily to Horikita and Ayanokoji. 3

The two ignored him and continued talking.

The next day.

Syl was out at night when he happened upon three unusual people.

Hirata, Kei and Ayanokoji.

He watched as Kei stormed off, clearly upset.

Syl shrugged and walked away.

The next day.

Syl was sitting on the floor next to the door for the boiler room.

The door swung open providing Syl with perfect cover from the people leaving.

He stayed seated and started drawing on the floor with his finger, listening to the conversation happening inside.

After a short while he heard Kei being threatened.

"If you don't listen to me, I'll tell everyone about your past."

Kei sniffled. "Don't… please."

"You just have to listen to what I say."

"What do you want? My body?"

Ayanokoji didn't respond.

Kei was silent for a moment. "No. I won't listen."

"What?" Ayanokoij asked.

"I- I won't do it!" She screamed. With a newfound confidence after her talks with Syl.

Ayanokoji didn't even sound phased. "What can you do? Your phone doesn't work down here, and no one can hear you."

"Actually, someone can." Syl said as he walked inside. 5

Ayanokoji looked back. "I didn't think you would try and do something here."

Syl smirked. "How can I just leave a girl in need alone?"

Kei had tears streaming down her face. "S-syl? Why are you here?"

Syl shrugged. "I like taking long walks alone and happened to walk by."

Kei ran over to Syl, Ayanokoji didn't even try to stop her.

"I don't think that's how you ask someone for a favor, Kiyotaka." Syl said casually.

"Are you confident you can stop me?" Ayanokoji asked.

"You should really work on that. You make it sound like you're challenging me." 1

"I am." Ayanokoji said plainly.

"Just so you know, that's not a good idea." Syl said calmly as an eerie smile crept up on his face. 1

"S-syl? What's wrong? You're smiling weirdly." Kei asked from beside him.

"Hahaha! Nothing, I'm just finally having fun." Syl laughed.

Syl cracked his neck.

"Are you sure you want to do this? Won't it be detrimental to the class?" Ayanokoji asked.

"As if either of us care about that." Syl laughed.

"W-what? Syl, you're being weird right now." Kei said nervously.

Syl chuckled. "Sorry, I'm not some prince in shining armour. I'm not a good person."

"Are you saying you're like me?" Ayanokoji asked.

Syl shook his head. "No, I don't think so, I at least have some empathy, only for my friends though. Otherwise I wouldn't have stopped you."

"If you don't back down, I'll tell everyone about you too. Your past is the same as Karuizawa's, right?" Ayanokoji said calmly.

"HAHAAHAHAH! Did you really think that would work?" Syl asked while laughing.

"No, not really, but it would be easier than what I have to do now."

Syl chuckled and took a step forward. "Then, let's do this the hard way. What kind of hero would I be if I didn't beat up the villain?"

"One question." Ayanokoji asked.

Syl stopped in his tracks. "Sure, what's on your mind?"

"Are you here from the white room?" 3

Syl paused. "Wha- sorry, what did you just say?"

"You know too much, things you shouldn't. You say you're just good at observing others, but I don't think it's possible for you to know everything you do. You already knew about the class and private points system, you knew about Nagumo, you helped out Yukimura and Ichinose, you also made a deal with Ryuuen and Katsuragi. You're making strange moves that you could only make with knowledge you shouldn't have. The only way you could gain that level of knowledge is from that man." 1

Syl pointed at himself. "You… think I'm… from the white room?" 1

Ayanokoji nodded. "However, for some reason you only show your knowledge in English, there's no other way you would notice those mistakes on the mid term without white room knowledge. I can't think of anything else that makes sense. Though, I'm not certain about it. The one thing I don't understand is, if you're from the white room why are you here? If you wanted to expel me and take me back, your movements and constant contact with me make no sense. Unless you were kicked out of the white room and on your own, or you disobeyed orders?" 2

Syl smiled. "Truly it's an honor, but you're wrong. I have no affiliation with them."

"I can't believe you that easily." Ayanokoji responded simply.

"What's going on? What are you guys talking about?" Kei asked.

"A bad place that does bad things." Syl replied simply. "It's what created him." He pointed at Ayanokoji. 1

"So you do know about the white room. Then it's impossible to have no affiliation with them."

Syl shook his head. "I really don't, but you never would have believed that the moment I was surprised by the name."

Ayanokoji nodded.

Syl sighed. He looked at Kei. "If you wanna know what a really traumatic childhood was like, he's standing right in front of you, a million times worse than what I went through." Syl said. 1

"W-what?"

"You think that people just grow up to be sociopaths who can blackmail girls without even blinking? Those people are created by the environments they grow up in."

"Are you saying something happened to Ayanokoji?"

Syl shrugged. "Not my story to tell. He doesn't seem to want anyone to know. I'd appreciate it if you kept this whole thing a secret."

Kei struggled for a moment. "I don't even know what's going on."

Syl chuckled. "TLDR: Ayanokoji wanted you to help him, but he doesn't trust people, so he made a stupid mistake by trying to blackmail you." Syl looked back at Ayanokoji. "That about right? Or did I miss something?"

"No, that's everything."

Syl smiled. "Listen, I'm all for the growth of the class, but this time you went too far."

Ayanokoji didn't respond. 3

I redid this chapter. I honestly didn't like this scene happening in the LN but I felt like I had to keep it in, because it was such a huge part of the story. But then I decided to say fuck it and do what I wanted instead. So this is what I had originally planned. Hope you enjoy.

Chapter 57: Chapter 57 1

Syl chuckled. "So, you ready to do this, or what?"

Ayanokoji nodded and took a stance.

Syl had a huge devilish smile on his face the entire time he walked towards Ayanokoji. 7

Eventually he got within range and threw a punch.

Ayanokoji easily blocked it and threw his own one, two.

Syl tilted his head back to avoid the jab and used his left hand to direct the punch to the side.

Then he uppercut into Ayanokoji's stomach with his right hand.

Ayanokoji crumpled forward and spit out. However, half a second later he had already kicked at Syl's knee.

Syl jumped over the attack and blocked with his arms crossed when another punch came.

When he landed he sent a few punches at Ayanokoji only for them to all be blocked.

Ayanokoji counter attacked with his own but it didn't even phase Syl who blocked just as easily.

Syl took a step back and waited for Ayanokoji to approach.

Ayanokoji stepped in and sent a flurry of punches and kicks only to be met by Syl's hands which swiped them all away, not allowing a single one to hit him. 2

Eventually Ayanokoji started trying to use more feints and combos to force Syl to take a hit but Syl just dodged with angelic grace and blocked with no effort.

After about a minute straight of Syl blocking his punches and kicks Ayanokoji took a step back.

"That's not possible."

Syl smiled. "What? That I'm beating you?"

"No, your movements are inhumane. You react faster than what should be physically possible. You also demonstrate strength that your body shouldn't possess at times. Just what are you?" 4

Syl smiled viciously. "I'm an anomaly. The only one who can beat the perfect human." 3

Syl charged in with a speed that exceeded his previous self by far. Ayanokoji's eyes could hardly keep up.

Syl went for a punch to the face only for Ayanokoji to block, however, Syl's punch was just a feint as he swiped his left heel into Ayanokoji's ankle causing him to fall to one knee, Syl spun around and his right knee connected with Ayanokoji's face.

He flew backwards into the steel beams behind him leaving a human sized dent. 4

Ayanokoji's body flopped limp on the floor. After a moment he stood up and wiped the blood from his nose.

Syl laughed. "Hahahaha! So you want to keep going?"

Ayanokoji nodded. "No one my age has ever beat me before. I want to see how this ends."

Syl smiled. "I'll never reject a willing punching bag."

Syl charged again, even faster this time. He kicked right at Ayanokoji's chest.

Ayanokoji made the mistake of trying to block rather than dodge as he didn't recognize the force of the kick.

The moment the two connected, Ayanokoji was lifted off his feet. He flew back through the air and hit the ground before tumbling 10 feet backwards in a roll. 1

He stood back up and looked at his wrists which were now black and blue and swollen.

Kei looked on in horror. "A-are you okay?!"

Ayanokoji just nodded.

Syl smiled. "You act like you can't even feel it, it's honestly impressive, you should have fractured at least both your wrists."

Ayanokoji nodded again. "I did, but this isn't that bad."

Syl sighed and shook his head. "Just what the fuck did they do to you?"

Ayanokoji didn't answer and ran back towards Syl. He tried to sweep Syl's legs out with a kick but Syl did a frontflip over Ayanokoji's whole body, avoiding the confrontation.

Syl turned and roundhouse kicked at Ayanokoji only for him to duck under it.

Syl charged at Ayanokoji who was low to the ground. Ayanokoji tried to stand back up but he was too late.

Syl had already grabbed his arm with one hand. He raised it above Ayanokoji's head. He used the other hand to punch at Ayanokoji's torso.

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

Syl repeatedly punched Ayanokoji in the gut. 3

Then, Syl released his arm and Ayanokoji stumbled forward off balance.

After a moment Ayanokoji stood back up and got in stance again.

Syl sighed.

Ayanokoji rushed at Syl. He threw a right hook which Syl dodged by leaning his head back.

Syl's eye's traced the punch the entire time it missed his face by 0.1 inches. A smile formed on his face.

Ayanokoji's left hand quickly came in with a jab that Syl smacked to the side. Once again missing him by 0.1 inches. 1

Ayanokoji had already recovered with a spin to keep his balance and roundhouse kicked at Syl's knee.

Syl allowed the kick to hit him only for it to be stopped in place without any effect.

Ayanokoji jumped up and tried to kick with his other leg at Syl's head.

Syl once again stood still and caught the kick with his left hand only an inch from his temple.

Syl let go of Ayanokoij's foot as he pulled back.

Then Syl charged, he punched with his left hand which was dodged. When Ayanokoji was off balance Syl spun and kicked his right knee.

As Ayanokoji fell forward Syl grabbed his head with both of his hands and swung it down as he raised a knee.

Syl's right knee made contact with Ayanokoji's forehead and his body flew backwards before landing on the floor, unconscious.

Kei looked on in horror. She ran over to Ayanokoji. "Holy shit is he okay?! I think you killed him!"

Syl looked at Ayanokoji. He walked over and checked his pulse. "He's fine, just unconscious."

"How could he be fine after that?!"

Syl sighed, "How troublesome. No, what a drag." 1

He started performing medical procedures on Ayanokoji.

After a while Syl was finished and he sat down next to Ayanokoji's unconscious body.

Kei sat down next to him. "You know, I kinda feel bad for him."

Syl laughed. "After what he did?"

"... But, you beat him so easily. It just makes what happened earlier… underwhelming. It's not that scary anymore after seeing him fly into a metal pole and get knocked unconscious." 4

Syl scratched his cheek. "Well, yeah… that makes sense."

Chapter 58: Chapter 58

Syl and Kei were sitting in the boiler room with Ayanokoji's passed out body and blood everywhere.

"How are you doing?" Syl asked.

"Honestly, I've been better."

Syl nodded. "If it's any consolation, you can give him a good punch while he's out cold."

Kei giggled. "After what you just did to him? He really might die."

Syl laughed. "He actually might die even if we don't do anything."

"WHAT?!"

Syl fell over laughing. "I'm kidding! Relax!"

"Don't joke about something like that!" She said as she smacked him.

Syl chuckled. "I can't believe you're taking his side! Stockholm! Is that you?"

Kei scowled. "I'm not taking his side. I just feel bad. You just smacked him around, he didn't even hit you once."

Syl chuckled. "Well, I did warn him not to try and fight me. I also gave him an out halfway through, it was his own desire to see if it was possible for him to lose that brought him here."

"What does that mean? It sounded like he had a really bad childhood, what was that about?"

Syl shrugged. "Not my place to say, just like you don't want me to tell people about your past, he doesn't want people to know about his. But, I can say that it was fucked up."

Kei nodded and looked at Ayanokoji with a complicated look in her eyes. "I almost want to help him."

Syl laid down on the ground and shrugged. "Go for it, it's your choice."

Kei was hesitating. "But…"

"I won't let him." Syl said.

"Huh?"

"I won't let him do anything like this again, plus I don't think he will in the first place." Syl responded to the unasked question.

"R-really?"

Syl nodded. "You're my friend, Kei. Of course I'll help you out. I actually think that he would help you too if you gained his trust, though, that's a daunting task."

Kei sat silently in thought. "Maybe I could fix him?" She mumbled. 7

Syl spit out. "Ahahaha! 'But I can fix him' Hahaahaha! A classic!"

Kei looked at him. "What?"

Syl cleared his throat. "Ahem, nothing."

Kei kicked Syl's shin with her heel.

"OW! What the fuck?!" Syl grabbed his injured shin.

Kei smiled. "I already did better than Ayanokoji! Maybe I'm stronger than him?"

She made a cool fighting pose.

Syl raised his hands in defeat. "I surrender! Please! No more shin kicks! You're wicked!"

Kei sat back down with a smile on her face. "I'm just too powerful."

Syl rolled his eyes. "Whatever you say, your majesty."

At this point Ayanokoji stirred.

Kei looked nervous for a moment before taking a deep breath and relaxing.

Ayanokoji finally sat up.

Syl and Kei didn't even react when he did.

He looked around. "Did I really lose?"

Kei snorted. "Uhhh… yeah dude. You like, totally got your ass kicked. It wasn't even close."

Ayanokoji looked thoughtful.

Syl was still laying on the floor. He yawned. "It was fun, we should do it again sometime."

Ayanokoji looked down at his battered body. "I don't think that's healthy."

Kei and Syl laughed.

There was a moment of silence. Eventually Kei spoke up. "I might be able to help you… just a little."

Ayanokoji looked at her. "Are you talking to me?"

Kei nodded. "But you have to prove you won't blackmail me again, or ever tell anyone. You need to gain my trust."

Ayanokoji was silent. "How do I do that?"

Kei turned around. "Figure it out yourself."

She walked away.

Syl smiled. "It's a good thing I stepped in early then. If I had let you go any further she would have hated you."

Ayanokoji sighed. "I don't understand. Why would she help me?"

Syl smiled. "Humans are complex, maybe she's just coming out of her shell already. But honestly, I think she sees a bit of herself in you."

"In me? How?"

Syl smiled. "A broken person, someone whose past has forced them to become someone they never wanted to be. I think she wants to fix you."

"I can't be fixed." Ayanokoji said with an expressionless face.

"Wanna bet?" Syl asked.

Ayanokoji stayed silent. 2

"Good choice."

Ayanokoji looked back down at himself.

"Are you happy? You finally lost." Syl said.

"It feels… strange." He replied.

Syl smiled. "Like you want to kick my ass next time?"

Ayanokoji nodded.

"That's called being competitive. You're upset that you lost." Syl laughed.

"Is that so?"

"Did you reach a conclusion?" Syl asked.

Ayanokoji shook his head in denial. "Can you really read my mind? There's no way you should know that."

Syl chuckled and scratched his cheek. "Would you believe me if I said it was magic?"

"Honestly… I might. You're doing things that are impossible, the only explanation is the supernatural."

Syl was shocked. "You're a surprisingly open minded person."

Ayanokoji shrugged.

"So, what are you going to do now?" Syl asked.

"I won't change anything, you're an anomaly, I still want to see if that man was right." Ayanokoji replied flatly.

Syl nodded. "Wanna hear my opinion?"

Ayanokoji nodded.

"No body is created equally, that gap is only widened when we grow up. Equality is a lie people tell themselves to make them feel better." 1

"Is that so?" Ayanokoji said.

"Yup, I also don't think that anyone else here stands a chance against you, heck, I could only beat you cause it was a fight, anything that wasn't athletic and who knows what would have happened?"

Ayanokoji looked up in thought. "I wonder if that's true?"

Syl smiled and stood up. "Only one way to find out. "

He offered Ayanokoji a hand.

Ayanokoji took it and pulled himself up.

"What are you going to do now?" He asked Syl.

Syl smiled mysteriously.

"Who knows?" 5

Chapter 59: Chapter 59

Two days later.

Syl woke up to the exams ending and the results being posted.

It went slightly differently than the original.

Class A (Sakayanagi): -200 Class points, 2,000,000 private points

Class B (Ichinose): 50 Class points, 3,000,000 private points

Class C (Ryuuen): 150 class points, 5,500,000 private points

Class D (Horikita): 0 Class points, 2,500,000 private points

That means the rankings were:

Class A (Ryuuen): 963

Class B (Ichinose): 881

Class C (Sakayanagi): 817

Class D (Horikita): 789

Syl smiled.

He picked up his phone and called Ayanokoji. "How's it feel to have your second loss?"

Ayanokoji sighed. "It was surprising to see that happen."

Syl chuckled. "She might actually grow. That would be pretty interesting."

Ayanokoji nodded. "It would."

"You don't seem too upset, did I knock some sense into you?"

"You could look at it like that." Ayanokoji replied.

"Bah! So replying so cripticly!"

"Is that everything? Hirata wants to talk to me."

Syl sighed. "Sure, peace." He hung up.

Then he smiled mischievously and made his way around the boat looking for someone.

He found her soon. "Hey Ichynose! Have a moment?" 8

"Hmm? Syl? Sure! What did you just call me, though?"

"Ichinose."

"Sorry, I must have heard you wrong then!" She said with a smile.

Syl shrugged. "How was the exam?"

Ichinose smiled wryly. "It went alright…"

Syl chuckled. "I see you took my advice."

Ichinose slowly nodded. Looking sad.

"How do you feel?" Syl asked.

"Terrible. I can't believe I stole points from Ayanokoji, from you…"

Syl smiled. "Really? I think it's a good thing."

"... How? How can you say something like that?"

Syl shrugged. "You would have been class C otherwise. I would have been disappointed if you didn't."

"But then you would have been class B. How can you honestly say you're happy with what I did in this situation?"

Syl hummed in thought. "A wise man once said. 'Who cares about 100 class points?'"

Ichinose looked at Syl funny. "What? Who said that?"

Syl chuckled. "Ryuuen." 3

Ichinose shook her head. "I'd never take advice from him. He's evil." 1

"How?" Syl asked.

"He uses dirty methods."

"No. He's never broken the rules once." Syl replied.

"Yes he has. He does it all the time."

Syl smiled. "When?"

"Uhhh… that one time-"

Syl cut her off. "Name one time the school punished him."

Ichinose looked confused. "What are you saying?"

"He's never gotten in trouble for it, so what did he really do wrong?"

"That's a logical fallacy."

Syl nodded. "True, but the world is full of fallacies. If a rich man lies and cheats and is never caught, he dies a good man who was rich, it's only when he gets caught that he is a scumbag."

"But that doesn't make him a good person. He's still evil." Ichinose countered.

"True, but who cares? If everyone thinks you're a good person, who cares if you really are?"

"I do. I won't let myself do something like that just because I can get away with it." Ichinose replied.

Syl stopped walking alongside her and turned to face her. He stared into her eyes as if he was looking at her soul. "Then you've never done a single thing wrong, right?" 1

"W-well…" Ichinose looked up and away.

Syl chuckled and faced forward as he continued walking. "You're the same as the evil man then."

Ichinose looked sad, like she was on the verge of tears. "You're right. I'm not a good person."

Syl shook his head in exasperation. "You're wrong. You are a good person."

She shook her head sadly. "No, I'm not."

Syl smiled. "Then prove it."

"What?"

"Prove you're a bad person, reach class A, by any means necessary."

"I can't! I'll never sacrifice a classmate!"

Syl smiled. "Then you must sacrifice the other classes. It's your only choice. You understand now, right?"

Ichinose looked troubled. "Why are you doing this? Are you really just trying to help me?"

Syl nodded. "I don't want to see your class lose so early. It would be boring, plus, I think you deserve better. I want to see you have a fighting chance."

"I don't understand."

Syl chuckled. "You don't have to. Just think of me as a secret admirer or something. Perhaps I fell for your charms and wanted to see you reach class A?" He winked and walked away. 1

Ichinose clasped her hands in front of her chest. "I really don't understand him at all…" 3

Just like that, the cruise ended.

The whole grade was taken back to the school.

Kinda weird how only the first years were allowed to go on the cruise. What did the other two years do? 1

A Mystery!

The days went by.

One day, Syl was on a walk to get home from the mall after hanging out with a few friends.

He bumped into someone unexpected.

"Eh? Prez? What are you doing here?" Syl asked as he met up with Manabu.

"I'm just heading to the student council room. I heard about your special exams, apparently you were very helpful in the island exam and in the winning group on the zodiac exam."

Syl shrugged. "I really didn't do anything, I only found out one class leader."

"That's still 50 class points, but I also heard you were the one who changed the leader from Suzune to Ayanokoji."

"And you believe that?"

"No, not for a second. It was Ayanokoji's idea, though he wouldn't admit it yesterday."

Syl chuckled. "Good luck with that."

Manabu shook his head. "He won't admit it that easily. However, he was injured. Most other people wouldn't notice but I could tell something was slightly off. I wonder what happened."

Syl shrugged. "I don't think he's hurt, and if he is. Then I guess it's a mystery."

"What do you think about joining the student council, Ayanokoji rejected, but I wonder what your thoughts are."

Syl chuckled. "Do I look like a nerd? Of course not!"

Manabu sighed. "I'm running out of options."

Syl chuckled. "Just ask your sister, she'd jump at the chance to spend more time with you."

Manabu sighed. "That's the problem."

"I know right! What a brocon!"

"Don't talk about my sister that way."

Syl raised his hands in defence. "What a siscon!" 1

Manabu sighed and walked away. 2

The next day. Syl was relaxing when he got a notification.

[Ding! Host has received 7 spins for the monthly class points.]

[Ding! Host has achieved something never done before. (Beating Ayanokoji Kiyotaka). Host has received 20 spins.] 1

Syl's jaw hit the floor.

[Would host like to spin?]

Syl thought for a moment. "Spin 7." 2

[Ding! Host has received. (Massage) [Advanced] x1, (Ittou shura) [Chivalry of a failed Knight] x1, (Water Magic) [Basic] x1, (Gaea Foundation) [Akame ga Kill] x1, (Duplicates) x 3] 15

Syl glowed yellow as the new rewards resonated within him.

He was silent for a moment. "I should save some spins right?"

[Yes. That is a great idea host, I will save them for you.]

"But…"

[No host, I will save them for you.]

"My luck, its good today, I can feel it."

[Haaa… host, don't do this.]

"Bu-bu-bu-b-b-bu-but… more spins… need… need them… need more spins." 2

[Host, you sound like an addict. Please spin in moderation.]

"Fine! I am an addict! 20 Spins! Right now!" 1

[Haaa… will you set a restriction to not use private points after the spins?]

"Fine! Whatever! I don't care! Just spin me!!!" Syl said as he scratched at his shoulders. 1

[Host has used 20 spins, Host has received.

Syl's blood went cold. "More… MORE!!!"

[No, host has set a limitation, no more spins.]

"MOREEEEE!!!" 2

[No!]

"Sys! I'll do anything man! Please! Gimmie! I need it! I need more!" 1

[Host, no more spins.]

" YOU SHITTY SYSTEM!! GIVE ME MORE!!!!!!!!"

[NO! CONTROL YOURSELF HOST!! JUST LISTEN TO YOURSELF! YOU'RE GOING INSANE!]

Syl started violently scratching at his shoulders. "You just don't get it. I need it. I'm going insane because I don't have any more! If I just had one more spin! That's all I need!"

[No. Goodbye host.]

Sys left.

Syl fell to the ground on his knees with tears pooling in his eyes.

"What have I become?"

That night he cried himself to sleep mumbling.

"This is why I hate gacha."

The next day!

Syl woke up to 6 noise complaints.

"WHAT?! I SHRUNK!!!! BULLSHIT!!"

[I told host to fix his sleeping poster. You never listen to me.]

"Sys! Fix it! Fix me! Bring me back!"

[That isn't possible host. Sorry]

Syl smashed his fist into his steak. "Why not?!" 7

[There are rules.]

Syl slumped back in his chair. "Why does god hate me? Live's so unfair!"

[There, there host. Look on the bright side, the new article top 200 boys in the school had you ranked #2.]

"That's only cause Nagumo bought the votes!!!!!!" Syl screamed.

[At least host is higher than Ayanokoji Kiyotaka.]

Syl paused for a moment before smiling. "You're right! I'm better than the perfect human! I've finally beat my eternal rival, Kakashi! Ahem, Kiyotaka!" 2

[Yes, host is amazing. The very best. Are you happy now?] 2

Syl smiled. "Yup! I'm the bestest!"

[Goodbye host, my wife and kids are waiting for me at home.] 3

"Eh?"

[I have to go.]

"Nononono, wait! You're a dude!?"

[Yes.]

"Wha- I thought you were a girl?!"

[Why would you think that?]

"Bu- wha- but all systems are girls! Then half them become the hosts wives!"

Sys made a gagging sound.

[Please don't try to make me your lover, I already have a wife.] 2

Syl paused with spirals in his eyes. "You got married before me?! How? Why does god hate me? How could someone like YOU fine a girl before me."

[What's that supposed to mean?!]

"Uhhh… nothing?"

[I'm leaving, I'm sure your going to enjoy your next spins very much. Hmph!]

"Wha- are you going to tamper with the results?! You bastard! You mean you could have been giving me better stuff this whole time?!"

[...]

"Sys! Answer me! Where's my all fiction?! SYS!!!" 3

[...]

Syl checked the alert he received on his phone. [Time for: Daily nap]

Syl nearly threw his phone across the room. "I don't need sleep! I need answers!!!!" 2

The next month.

Syl gained 7 more spins but they were all duplicates. 1

In class.

"Today I will announce your next special exam and some changes to the schedule." Chabashira announced.

"Eh? Another one?" Ike asked aloud.

"Yes Ike, another one. This upcoming month we will be having extra P.E. classes in preparation for the upcoming sports festival which will be your next special exam. You guys will be paired with Class A (Ryuuen) in the upcoming exam. The following are the rules of the exam…"

She went on to explain all the rules.

After class Chabashira left early.

Horikita immediately stood up. "Let's all discuss our strategy for the upcoming exam."

Koenji ignored her and walked away.

Syl thought about doing the same. But decided against it.

He walked over. "Yo! I'll be your joker. Put me anywhere you don't have anyone else to do anything and I'll bring in results." 2

Syl said to Horikita.

She narrowed her eyes. "How confident are you?"

Syl smiled. "Very. I'll get first in all solo events." 1

"That's ridiculous." Horikita though Syl was joking again and ignored him.

"I believe him." Ayanokoji said.

"What?" Horikita asked genuinely surprised.

"So do I! Syl's like totally awesome at sports!" Kei chimed in, which caused a bunch of the other girls to agree. 1

Syl chuckled. "What do you have to lose? I'll do all the things no one else wants to anyway, so worst case I don't do well and we would have had the same outcome anyway."

Horikita sighed. "Fine."

Syl smiled. "Then, smell ya later, crocodile!" 1

"Wha- We haven't finished our meeting." Horikita said, annoyed.

"We already decided on what I'm doing! In a while, alligator!" 1

Horikita sighed. "He didn't even say that right… No wait, I can't believe he just left." 1

Everyone else was pretty fine with it, I mean this was nothing new for Syl. Plus, they did already decided what he was going to do.

They continued the meeting without him.

The next day.

Syl was in class when Ryuuen came over.

Horikita stood up. "Ryuuen. How should we work together on this exam?"

"Kukuku. Suzune, I'm not too keen on joining hands. Unless you were to off up yourself in return."

"Never."

"Then it looks like we will never work together. You, come with me." Ryuuen said as he pointed at Syl.

Horikita furrowed her brow. "Is that why you came here? You never even considered working together, did you?"

Ryuuen flashed a cheeky smile. "Why would I ever work with trash like class D?"

Sudo stood up in anger. "What did you call us?!"

"This is exactly what I'm talking about, only an animal would react this way to such simple provocation."

Sudo raised his fist.

"STOP!" Horikita yelled.

Sudo hesitated for a moment before putting his hand down.

"Kukuku. You have a good dog, Suzune."

Sudo was about to react again but stopped when he saw Horikita's glare. 2

Syl walked up to Ryuuen and tapped him on the shoulder. "What are you waiting for?"

Ryuuen laughed and walked away with Syl.

He took Syl to the roof.

"Someone wants you gone." Ryuuen said calmly.

Syl laughed. "She really asked our teammates? What a bitch!"

"Kukuku. That's all I had to say."

Syl looked shocked. "What?! You won't even tell me who it is? Or what they asked you to do?! How heartless!"

Ryuuen smiled. "That wasn't the deal."

Syl fell to his knees. "What?! It wasn't? Drats! I've been bested again!"

Ryuuen walked away chuckling.

Syl saw him go and shrugged.

"I wonder what she's gonna try."

Suddenly he got a call.

"Hello?" Syl asked.

"It's Katsuragi, someone contacted me, they want you expelled."

"What?! Who?!?!" Syl called out in a horrified voice.

"I can't say, sorry. The contract only says I need to notify you, goodbye."

He hung up.

Syl laughed. " so far, I wonder if the good ole fashion strikeout is approaching? Nah, she might be a bitch but shes not that dumb, right? She wouldn't contact Ichinose…"

Syl then smiled.

"Why not find out?"

He ran to class B and knocked on the door. "Yo! Is Ichinose here?"

Kanzaki was the one to answer. "No, she just left. She went to the student council room."

Syl smiled. "Thanks!"

He skipped to the student council room.

He knocked on the door and after a moment he was let in.

He was face to face with Nagumo. "Hey! If it isn't the hottest guy in the school? What's up?"

Nagumo smiled naturally. "I was just having a chat with someone, so nothing new."

Syl smiled. "Cool, is Ichinose here?"

Nagumo shrugged. "I was talking to someone else, but you're free to look around."

Syl happily accepted and walked in.

He ended up passing by Nagumo's office and saw a girl inside.

"Fufufufu. Mosquito's love to follow me around." She said. 2

Syl paused. "Kiryuin? What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to withdraw from the sports festival due to illness."

"And I've already told you that you can't withdraw weeks before the festival. You're not even sick." Nagumo said from behind Syl.

"However, I plan on being sick that day. So I would appreciate it if you're feeble mind could understand and let me go." 1

Nagumo sighed. "See what I have to deal with?" He asked Syl.

Syl raised a brow. "Wanna make a bet?"

Nagumo smiled. "I'm not sure that's appropriate…"

"I bet I can make her join. 500,000 points." Syl replied.

"It's not even possible for a first year to have that man-"

Nagumo's voice trailed off when he saw Syl's phone.

[1,076,350] Private points.

"Wha- Hahahaha! Wow, I'm impressed. How did you pull this off?" Nagumo said as he snatched Syl's phone to take a closer look.

"I have my ways." Syl said as he took his phone back.

Nagumo smiled. "I'll give you 1 hour to get her out of my hair and agree to join."

Syl smiled. "Only if you don't hold off on paying by saying that she might not show up the day of."

Nagumo thought for a moment. "Fine." 1

Kiryuin was looking at her nails. "You know, it's rude to ignore a beautiful lady who's right in front of you."

Syl smiled and sat down on the bench next to her. "What's a place like you doing in a girl like this?"

"Fufu. Is this your best attempt at convincing me?"

Syl shook his head. "Nono, this is."

Syl pulled out his Gaea Foundation.

He turned around and put it on with incredible skill and precision. When he turned back he looked just like Nagumo.

"Kiryuin, you can't reserve your sick days. That's not how this works." Syl said in a mocking voice.

"You sound just like him."

Nagumo slightly frowned when he saw this.

Syl changed his approach. "My eternal love! Witnessing your beauty in the sports festival is my one true wish!" He said in Nagumo's voice.

"Fufufu. What a punchable face. Besides, I much prefer a cute boy."

Nagumo sighed in exasperation. "This is an expensive way to make fun of me."

Syl chuckled and turned around. He took off the make up and returned to his normal sense.

"I wonder if that's what improved your looks so much. Did you learn makeup on your summer break?" Nagumo asked him, he was still slightly irked at how much it cost him to buy votes for the top 200 hottest boys article to beat out Syl.

Syl looked at Kiryuin. "Is this guy an idiot? Doesn't he know how makeup works at all?"

"Fufufu. It seems you're on to something."

Syl laughed. "Right?"

Nagumo took a deep breath. "Why did I agree to this? This is the worst possible combination of people…"

Syl then got serious. "Kiryuin, let's make a bet. 500,000 points on the festival, let's see which one of us wins."

She shrugged. "I don't have that many points in the first place."

Syl smiled. "Then, if I win, you have to grant me 1 wish."

Kiryuin looked down, bored. "I don't need money."

Syl started panicking.

Nagumo had a smile on his face. He knew it would turn out this way.

"I have a proposal for you." Kiryuin said, catching everyone in the room off guard.

"Eh? W-what is it?" Syl asked, confused.

"Fufu. It's simple, I just want you to grant me 1 wish instead of the money." She said.

"Uhhh… sure, what's your wish?" Syl asked, dumbfounded.

"You just need to entertain me for one day." Kiryuin said with a smile.

Syl gulped. "L-like a date?" 1

"Fufu. Don't get ahead of yourself. You're merely a mosquito entertaining me."

"S-sure…" Syl said in a daze.

Kiryuin smiled and got up walking away. "I'll see you later then."

Syl watched her alluring figure as she walked away.

After a few moments.

"Wait! I'm not a mosquito! I'm lord of the flies!!! You hear? LORD OF THE FLIES!!!" He screamed out after her. 1

A distant laugh could be faintly heard.

"Fufufufufufu."

" AND DON'T YOU FORGET IT!!" Syl called out.

Nagumo was standing there with a flabbergasted expression on his face. "What just happened? Did you just sell your body?" 2

Syl gasped. "Wait! Am I a gigolo?!?!" 2

Nagumo thought for a moment before nodding.

"Cool! That means I'm hot!" Syl called out happily.

Nagumo laughed and shook his head. "I think she said she liked cute guys."

Syl gasped. "That means I'm cute! Even better!!"

Nagumo looked at him with a confused expression. "Whatever floats your boat I guess…" 1

Syl giggled. "She thinks I'm cute! Hehehehe! Oh ya! You own me now! That was like 2 minutes!" 2

Nagumo sighed and pulled out his phone, sending Syl the money.

Syl checked his balance and smiled. "Great! What was I even here for again?"

Nagumo sighed. "You were looking for someone."

Syl clapped his hands. "Oh right! Ichinose! … Meh, who cares?"

Syl decided to just go home.

Nagumo watched him leave. "I couldn't think of a more fitting name. What an anomaly."

He shook his head and went back to work.

"Maybe he would be a fun opponent next year?" 2

The next day.

Everyone was testing their physical abilities to see who should participate the most.

Eventually the grip test came.

Sudo got over 70 kgs. 1

Ayanokoji asked Syl what the average was before he took it.

Syl shrugged. "Like 65 or something." 1

Ayanokoji then took the test and got 64.2 kgs

Syl giggled to himself when he saw everyones shocked faces.

Ayanokoji looked back. "What's wrong?"

Hirata walked up and pat Ayanokoji on the back. "You're really strong!"

Ayanokoji was surprised. "Why? Isn't that average?"

All the boys got pissed at this. "What? Average? Average is like 45-50!"

At this point Syl was on the floor laughing. "What a dumbass." 1

Ayanokoji sighed. Now he would have to participate in extra events.

Syl was next up. He grabbed the machine and lightly squeezed.

69.9 Kgs 4

"Heh. Nice." He said with a smile.

He looked at Ayanokoji and winked. "What are the odds eh?"

Ayanokoji just sighed. At least the class had someone else to focus on. 1

This continued on with either Sudo or Syl scoring 1st place in every test and the other coming second.

At the end of it all Sudo came up to Syl and picked him up off the ground with a hug. "Let's go! We got this! We're the best duo ever!"

Syl laughed happily. "Right? We're awesome!"

Sudo then realized he was easily carrying Syl. "Dude, how are you so light?! You're pretty strong!"

Syl chuckled and laughed. "I have a fast metabolism."

"What's that mean?"

Syl sighed. "Nevermind."

"Alright, next, lets the the three legged race!" Hirata called out happily.

Syl laughed. "Sure! Who am I with?" 6

Kushida raised her hand. "Me! I wanna go with Syl!" 2

Syl brought his hand to his face and started rubbing the bridge of his nose.

"Why god? Do you really just hate me?" 1

Yes! Yes I do! We all want to see you suffer!

Ahem!

Anyway!

Syl moped over to where Kushida was and sighed. Then he put on a big smile. "Did it hurt?

Kushida looked confused. "What?"

Syl smiled and winked. "When you fell from heaven?" 2

Kushida looked stunned for a moment and a slight blush appeared on her cheeks. 1

She looked away. "L-let's get going."

"Sure!" Syl said with a smile, not noticing a thing.

He just wanted to get this over with as quickly as possible!

The two ran together perfectly. Kushida was pretty fit and Syl was easily able to perfectly match her pace. I mean this guy literally sees in slow motion, imagine trying to match a snails pace? See how easy that is? 1

Anyway!

They were running at Kushida's full speed and easily the first place group of two.

When they finished in first place Syl thought for a second.

His face showed the horror of his realization.

"I fucked up." He muttered.

Kushida looked at him? "Why? What did you do?"

"I shouldn't have done so well. Now we actually have to do it together. I'm so dumb."

He totally forgot to bomb it so that he would never have to run with Kushida again!

Syl cursed the heavens for his misfortune!

It's not misfortune! He's just an idiot!

Kushida pouted. "What's wrong with going together~?" 1

Syl sighed. "You. You're the problem." 1

Syl walked away.

He walked up to Ayanokoji. "When can we finally expel someone without it costing us 300 class points?"

Ayanokoji shrugged. "I don't know."

Syl sighed sadly. "I think it might be worth losing the 300 right now. She's driving me insane."

Ayanokoji nodded. "Let's just do it next chance we get."

Syl beamed. "You mean we're gonna team up? The dream team! Haha! That sounds like fun!" 2

"That would be interesting." Ayanokoji admit. 1

Syl laughed and walked away. "I can't wait!"

2 Weeks later.

The sports festival was finally kicking off.

The first event was the 100 meter dash.

When Syl got to the starting line he noticed that the class A, class B and Class C students in his group were extremely unathletic. 1

He smirked.

"I can't believe Ichinose would do this to me. How evil!" He joked. 1

A class B student near him heard this and looked away awkwardly. He felt guilty!

Ichinose told her whole class that they had received the list of participants for class D and they were going to use that to win, just like class C (Sakayanagi).

However, what they didn't know was that Ryuuen's class was doing the same thing! It was an attack on all fronts!

However, this just made life easy for Syl!

He easily took first place in the 100 meter dash and hurdles in his heat.

Class D was doing terribly but all the athletic students were doing amazing!

On the sidelines Horikita had a bad look on her face. "What's going on? It's like they already know all of our positions."

Nobody responded to her. They all looked nervous as they were in last place. Class A was in first place with class C close behind, but Class B was only slightly ahead of them.

Because of the fact that they were all putting their good runners in the same heats the competition between the three was fierce.

Syl looked over to his teammate Ryuuen. "Things aren't going as well as you thought huh?"

Ryuuen smiled. "Who could have guessed that all three of us would know your schedule?"

Syl laughed and raised his hand. "Me! I could have!" 1

Ryuuen shook his head. "You're strange, why don't you help out with your class?"

Syl shrugged. "I'm fine winning first place by myself. I have other things riding on this festival."

Ryuuen laughed. "Kukuku. I wonder what that would be."

"A date! Someone's trying to buy my body! How cruel! I'm fighting for my life out here!" Syl said in an exaggerated way.

"Is she hot?" Ryuuen asked.

Syl nodded. "Extremely."

"Then why don't you just lose?"

Syl gasped. "You're a genius! Why didn't I think of that?!" 1

Ryuuen sighed and walked away.

Sometimes talking to this idiot was annoying! 2

The next event was capture the flag.

Syl walked up to the team meeting. "You guys do what you want, I'm on offense."

Then Syl walked away. What a guy!

Ryuuen laughed when he saw this.

It was eventually decided that Class D would join Syl on offense and Class A would defend.

The teams got ready and lined up.

The moment it started Syl charged alone for the flag.

He ran up to the defenders and leapt into the air landing one of their shoulders.

Then he jumped off and landed on Katsuragi's smooth head before pushing off again and flying straight towards the pole. He caught it with two hands at the speed of a full sprint. The defenders were caught off guard and the pole immediately hit the floor. 1

A whistle blew instantly and the people in class A were shocked. The other classes hadn't even reached them yet! How could they have possibly already won?!

What kind of anomaly happened?!

The anomaly happened! It was Syl! 1

"What the fuck?!"

"How?!"

"This is bullshit!"

"What are you doing?!"

"Why are you losing on purpose?"

All the class C students came over and started hurling insults at class B and their classmates, who were just standing in pure shock and amazement.

"That was amazing…" Kanzaki muttered under his breath.

Some of the class D students sighed when they saw this and class C getting all worked up.

Hashimoto walked over and asked some of them. "What happened?"

One of the class D students pointed at Syl. "He happened."

Hashimoto looked confused. "What did he do?"

"He jumped on one of their shoulders and then off Katsuragi's head and knocked the flag down at full speed. The rest of us didn't even reach your defenders. He won the game alone, without the need for any of us or any of our defenders."

Hashimoto looked shocked. "What?! Is that even possible?! Katsuragi oils up his head! He would slip!" 2

The class D students sighed and pat Hashimoto on the shoulder. "You get used to it." 2

The whole school watching was amazed by this performance.

Syl was quite literally a one man team! He didn't even need help!

"Fufufu. What idiots. They still haven't learned that mosquitoes can fly?"

A voice in the distance rang out.

"Lord of the flies!" 2

Syl walked back over to his team with a cheeky smile. "Good D boys!" 3

Most of the class A boys looked at him in annoyance, some in admiration.

Syl walked up to Albert and the two fist bumped.

Then Syl smiled. "Who's with me next?"

The classes started discussing and agreed that this time, Class A would attack and Class D would defend, with the exception of Syl.

They figured that this fucking maniac would be 1000x more useful on offense than on defence.

They were right! On offense you can do everything yourself but on D you need to rely on others to do their part. 2

The teams lined up again.

Syl walked over to Albert.

[Formation 2?]

Albert nodded [Sure.]

The two did a unique handshake that they had clearly practiced before. 5

All the other class A students were stunned.

"Albert knows this guy?"

"Are they friends?"

"It's like David and goliath! Albert's over twice his size!"

"Albert can talk?!?!! Why is no one mentioning that this is the first time he ever spoke?!" 2

Everyone else just shrugged.

Just then the whistle sounded.

Syl stayed still while Albert charged in with his arms up. Bulldozing anyone in his way.

When he got close enough he turned around and boxed the other people out.

At this point Syl ran in with a speed that made the spectators jaws drop.

He sprinted straight at Albert.

Albert bent down and interlocked his fingers, holding them out.

Syl jumped and right at Albert and landed with his foot on his hands.

The moment they touched Albert threw Syl into the air with all his might as Syl leapt off his hands.

The boost sent Syl flying at least 15 feet in the air. 2

Syl spread he arms and brought his legs together as he started rotating mid air. 1

He flipped forwards and did a 720 before gracefully landing on top of the pole on his tip toes on one foot.

He maintained perfect balance for a moment before slowly bringing his arms in and bowing, still standing softly on one leg on the thin pole. 8

The crowd erupted with cheers at this sight! That was the coolest thing they had ever seen in capture the flag!!

Who knew Syl's butterfly style sword technique would come in handy here?

Syl then hopped off the pole. On his way to the ground he grabbed the top of it behind his head and used his momentum to pull it down at the same moment the other attackers reached the opposite side.

With the two forces of momentum hitting at the same time the defenders found themselves helpless.

The pole came crashing down and slammed on the ground, landing right behind Syl who never even turned around.

Then, Syl flashed the crowd a smile and took another bow.

All the guys gave a standing ovation while most of the girls fell over with hearts in their eyes and bloody noses.

One girl violently shook her friend. "HE LOOKED AT ME SARAH!!! AT ME!!! HE WANTS ME!!! KYAAAA!!" 4

Syl didn't notice the reactions as he had already ran back to meet up with Albert.

[HAhahah! Just like we practiced! That was perfect!]

Albert slightly smiled and nodded. [Good job.]

Syl gasped. [Wha- did anyone else see that? He smiled!! LOOK!]

Syl looked around for anyone else who might have seens.

[They can't understand you.] Albert pointed out as his face went back to neutral.

[What?! Damn! Why can't these idiots speak english?!]

Albert shook his head. [Who knows?]

Up next was the girls event.

Syl didn't even bother to watch.

Who cares? It had nothing to do with him!

Well, he did watch one.

Syl watched as Kiryuin absolutely destroyed all her competition.

Syl sighed. "This might actually be close, it all depends on team events."

Up next was tug of war.

Class A and D easily won with a group of much more solid students and Ryuuen for some reason actually allowing his class to try. Perhaps he wanted first place now that it was within reach? 2

The next up was the obstacle course where Horikita 'injured her opponent'.

Syl got ready for his turn and once again faced no one athletic.

He didn't really care. As long as he was getting first place. 1

He just went through the motions and got to the end of the race without much effort at all. Not that he would have had a challenge even if he was facing the best opponents…

Anyway! Syl once again took first place! He was looking like one of the contenders for the best individual results!

The next event was the three legged race.

Syl got up to participate with his male partner first, who was Ike.

Syl was originally paired up with Koenji, but he decided not to participate due to 'illness'.

Syl didn't really care that much, but he was kinda irked that he got stuck with one of the less athletic kids in the class due to not having anyone else to choose from.

However, Syl didn't have a choice! That's what he gets for deciding to not participate in the meeting for who participates in which sport!

If it wasn't the consequences of his own actions! How unfair!

Anyway!

Ike and Syl got ready.

They had never ran together before so the class wasn't expecting much.

When they started Syl easily matched Ike's slow pace and they ended up moving along fairly fast.

The two ran well and came in second as they were able to match Ike's top speed the whole race.

Ike was ecstatic while Syl was a little disappointed he didn't get first place. Thought he didn't show it on his face, he acted just as happy as Ike was when they finished.

Next, the dreaded mixed three legged race was upon Syl. 8

Chapter 65: Chapter 65

Syl walked over to Kushida.

"Are you ready?" Syl asked with a smile.

Kushida nodded. "I heard that you had a bet on this festival. I hope I can help you win~!"

Syl's face contorted into one of horror. "You wouldn't!"

Kushida giggled. "What?"

Syl walked away over to the ref.

"What exactly are the rules again?"

The ref sighed. "Kid, you're about to participate and you don't know the rules? Haaaa… It's a mixed gendered three legged race, you have to tie your legs together and run to the finish line. Don't sabotage others."

"So I could technically carry my partner?"

"No. You obviously can't carry your partner, both people must run together. I didn't think I would even have to say that out loud." The ref shook his head at the idiot in front of him.

Syl fell to his knees dramatically. "It's… over…"

He hunched over and slammed his fist on the ground. "Why? WHY ME???"

A couple people walked by wondering what happened. Someone even approached him to try and comfort him, thinking something horrible must have happened, maybe a loved one died?

The only problem was the person who came over to comfort him was Kushida.

She bent over and hunched beside him. "What's wrong? Are you alright?!"

Syl shook his head. "I lost, I'm going to be a sugar baby for life! How horrible! … actually, it doesn't sound that bad… actually, it kinda sounds nice… hmmmm."

Kushida heard this and leaned in whispering. "What exactly is your bet??"

Syl shrugged. "If I lose I have to go on a date, if I win, she owes me a favour."

Kushida mumbled. "Maybe I should just win… no, I can't. My school life… but… maybe? … no."

"Pardon?" Syl asked.

"Nothing, nothing! Let's win this thing! Go team angel~!" Kushida cheered out.

Syl sighed and stood up. "Yippie! Go team!" He fake cheered.

Then he thought for a second. "Wait, why team angel?"

Kushida pretended to be bashful. "Well… I heard that people call me angel…"

"Then what about me?"

"Eh?? Aren't you religious? You wear a cross earring. I've also heard you yelling at god recently…"

Syl shrugged. "I'm not really religious or anything, kinda in limbo, I don't know what to believe… WAIT! How do you know about that! That was all in my room!!!!" 5

Kushida whistled and walked away. "What are you talking about?"

Syl was left standing alone with his mouth agape. "Wha- what the fuck? It's all corrupted! Not even my own home is safe! My own home!!!"

While Syl wept about his privacy being violated Kushida returned with the tether and tied their legs together.

She carried Syl to the start line as he was still in a daze muttering about being violated. 1

"On your marks!"

Syl snapped out of it when he heard the starter getting ready.

"Get set!"

Syl and Kushida got ready.

"GO!!"

The started waved his hand down and all the groups took off.

Syl and Kushida instantly took the lead.

After the first half of the race they were leading by an extremely impressive amount. Second place was just barely over a quarter of the way through.

However, just when they reached three quarters of the way through the race, tragedy struck!!

Kushida tripped over her own foot and fell!

Syl was tempted to just keep running and drag her along, even if he was technically breaking the rules it would be worth it to watch her failing behind Syl being dragged by her ankles.

Syl smiled at the thought.

Kushida was currently on the floor writhing in pain and Syl was just standing beside her with a stupid smile on his face. It was a sight to see for sure…

Anyway!

Syl bent over and pretended to help Kushida out.

"Oh my god! Are you okay!? I hope you're fine!" He called out loudly so everyone could hear.

Kushida was on the floor holding her ankle. She started crying. "I- I'm so sorry, Syl! I ruined everything! I know you wanted to win but I held you back!"

Syl leaned over and put on hand on her shoulder, acting like he was helping.

He whispered. "I can't believe you actually went through with this."

"W-what? What are you saying?" Kushida asked pitifully.

"You're such a fucking two-faced bitch. You're disgusting."

Kushida started crying even harder. "Wha- huh? Syl? What's wrong? What are you saying?"

Syl smiled. "I don't even care whether someone is a good person or not, but YOU piss me off. Your incessant need to cause minor annoyances to others who know your secret is infuriating. You couldn't just let sleeping dogs lie, eh? You just HAD to expel everyone who knows about you?"

Kushida sniffled. "What do you mean? Why are you being so awful?"

"You fucked up. Don't think that Ryuuen will rush over at your beck and call just because you ratted out our plan to him, or Katsuragi, or anyone else."

Kushida's demeanor suddenly changed. "What?! How did you know-"

"Shut up. I'm talking right now." Syl hissed and his eyes glowed as he released a small amount of haki accidently.

Kushida's eyes widened and she nodded.

"You're an idiot for betraying the class. You just cut your only lifeline in this school all by yourself."

"Bu-b-but my friends." She stammered.

"What friends? The other classes? You're one dumb bitch if you think anyone in the other classes will ever lift even a single finger to help you when you're on the chopping block."

Kushida gulped.

Syl gently smiled and realised her. 1

He slowly brought a hand up to her face and softly wiped a tear from her cheek.

Not even a second later a bunch of people rushed over.

"As long as you're alright, the race doesn't matter." He said in an angelic tone. 1

"Awww." A few of the medical staff who rushed over smiled at the sweet scene of two friends.

What a pure friendship! 2

One was crying because she ruined the other's chance at winning and the other was just happy she was okay!

So sweet!! 1

Just as Syl was about to get up and walk away Kushida tapped him on the shoulder.

"Umm… could I say one more thing?" She said in an impressive feat of bravery after nearly soiling her pants in fear a moment ago.

Syl turned and smiled sweetly. "Sure! Anything you need?"

Kushida beckoned him over and whispered in his ear.

"I want to talk after this event." She pointed down at her phone which was taped to her hip.

It showed that it was recording.

Syl was silent for a moment. "Sure."

He walked away without another word as Kushida dawned a huge smile. 1

Chapter 66: Chapter 66

A few more events passed and Syl easily got first place in all of them.

It was finally time for the scavenger hunt.

Syl got ready. "With how horrible my luck is in gacha, I have to have good luck here!"

[... Host, you're luck isn't bad, it's actually-]

"BAH! Don't gaslight me! Go home to your wife or something!" 2

Syl smiled as he got ready for the event.

He was the last to go for his team so he was waiting for a while.

When it finally came to be Syl's turn class D was in the lead. Syl ran over to the box and drew a card.

[1 Billion year old rock] 5

"Eh?? What the fuck?! Where would I find that?!?!" He called out.

The scorekeeper smiled. He drew the worst card! The only one that was impossible to complete! It was put in there as a death card so that whichever team drew it would instantly get last place!

I mean where the fuck do you just find such an amazing piece of history just lying around??

Class D saw this and cursed!

What horrible luck! How could this be??

They were instantly in terrible spirits. This was their chance! Your order of participation doesn't matter in a scavenger hunt, so this was the best event for them to win, because they were losing all the others due to Kushida's betrayal!

Suddenly Syl went stiff.

He started laughing and running away like a maniac.

A few seconds later everyone saw him return with a fist sized stone in his hands.

"HAHAHAHA!! I did it!!! No one can beat me! I'm the best!" Syl called out as he slammed the rock down on the desk, being the first to complete the race.

Class D sighed.

"That's never going to work… They totally won't fall for that." Kei said as she covered her face in shame.

The judges looked at Syl and their eyes twitched. "Kid, this is clearly not real. Do you think such a precious thing would just be lying around at school?"

Syl waved his hand. "Bah! Everyone's a hater!"

The judges sighed. "Just sit this one out. It's impossible." 1

Syl looked at the judge like he was an idiot. "Uhh, but I already completed it."

"Haaa… Listen kid, this isn't my first day, I'm not going to fall for that."

Syl shook his head. "No, you listen. You didn't even check! I'm telling you it's real! Sys never fails me!"

"Sys? What's that? Some kinda drug?"

Syl coughed. "What?! No! I'm not on drugs, bastard!"

One of the judges sighed and picked up the rock. "Let's just test it Jerry, then we can get him to fuck off." 1

The other two judges nodded.

The one judged looked at the rock and went silent.

"..."

"Yo! Phil! What's wrong? Just tell the kid it's fake."

"M-Masaka!!" Phil called out and he stumbled backwards and fell over on his butt. His glasses fell down his face. 1

"Phil?! What's wrong?!"

"I-i-i-ii-it-it can't be?! Impossible!!! This- this is real!!" 1

The other two judges started freaking out. "WHAT?!"

"NO WAY!!"

They shoved each other aside as they went to take a look.

Horikita saw this and her face paled. "No way…" 2

Syl picked the rock back up and smiled. "So we win?"

The three judges nodded furiously.

"H-hey kid! Sell me that! I'll pay out private points or real money, whatever you want!" 4

Syl shook his head. "Sorry, I can't do that…" He smiled and tossed it up and down with one hand as he looked Horikita dead in the eyes. "I already have a use for this puppy." 1

He walked away while cackling and tossing the rock.

Horikita held her head in her hands. "He wouldn't… right?"

"Oh! But I would!!!" Syl called out from afar. 2

"This isn't going to end well…" She said in an exasperated voice.

The next event was the 1200 meter dash.

Syl was getting lined up and ready to go when Ayanokoji approached him.

"Do you mind if I take your spot?" Ayanokoji asked.

Syl was silent for a moment and checked the scoreboard.

He nodded to himself accepting his defeat, he had no chance at this point.

Kiryuin was going to win either way.

Syl looked back at Ayanokoji and smiled. "Are you going to try?" 1

Ayanokoji nodded.

"What's up with the change of heart?"

"I want to face Horikita-senpai."

"Is that all?"

Ayanokoji shrugged.

"You can't go until you answer~."

Ayanokoji sighed. "No, it's not."

Syl smiled. "Ryuuen?"

Ayanokoji nodded. "Ryuuen."

Syl chuckled and pat him on the back. "Good luck out their partner."

Then Syl collapsed on the floor in pain.

"CRAMP!! AHH!" He held his right hamstring and rolled on the ground.

A bunch of people surrounded him at the commotion.

Even Kushida came over, genuinely concerned. She might be a bitch but she wasn't violent, she never liked seeing people in physical pain! Only emotional pain! 3

Wait… that's even more fucked up…

Anyway!

Eventually Syl was being stretchered off, due to his oscar worthy performance.

As he was rolling past Kushida he smiled and winked. "That's how you act. Take notes."

Kushida gasped. That was acting?!

He was so realistic!

She was outclassed! It wasn't even close!

Kushida suddenly got angry! Another thing that she was only second best in! 4

Syl smiled at the thought of how pissed Kushida probably was right now.

He watched the race from his stretcher. He saw Ayanokoji and Manabu running significantly faster than anyone else and passing them all one by one.

Syl saw the crowd go wild for this moment and class D's flabbergasted looks as they saw their 'average' classmate demolishing the competition.

When he saw this he undid the straps and hopped off the stretcher.

"Ah! I'm all better doc! It's a miracle!"

The doctor looked at him in shock as he jogged away waving back.

"Thanks for all the help!"

After a few moments the doctor yelled out. "WAIT! You can't run yet! You'll re injure yourself!" 1

She received no response.

She sighed. "Why am I even here? These kids don't listen to a thing I say. I try to tell a kid he's perfectly healthy and he ignores me and stares at his own reflection for hours, then I try to tell a kid he actually does need rest and he just runs off and ignores me… I hate my job…" 2

Syl giggled when he heard the doctor's predicament.

Chapter 67: Chapter 67

Syl went to celebrate with his classmates before he eventually got a text telling him to meet around back, in an area with no cameras.

What a suspicious text!

Syl immediately went to the place described!

What an idiot! At least have some caution! What ever happened to stranger danger? You think children are the only ones who get kidnapped??

No!

Remember to always be careful!

I don't want anyone to get hurt!

Then you wouldn't read my book anymore! Bad for views! 1

Ahem! Anyway!

Syl threw caution out the window and went to meet the mysterious person.

When he showed up he saw three people.

"Eh? I thought that this was another confession? What are you guys doing he- WAIT! All three of you are going to confess at the same time?!" Syl gasped at his realization. 1

Horikita took an extremely deep breath as she tightly clenched her fists. "I am NOT confessing to you and I NEVER will."

Syl sighed in relief. "Good, only two is manageable."

Ryuuen laughed and didn't reply.

Kushida rolled her eyes. "I would never confess like this."

Syl smiled. "Good. Good, less people to reject."

Kushida smiled. "Did you win your bet in the end?"

Horikita looked confused. "What bet?"

Ryuuen chuckled. "Kukuku. Thanks to me there is no way he didn't win. Aren't you glad I gave you easy heats now?"

Syl smiled. "Actually I lost!"

Ryuuen was shocked. "Wait… then that would mean. Kukukuku. No way, did you bet against HER?"

Syl chuckled and nodded.

"You're one lucky man. I know people who would kill for the opportunity you have."

"What opportunity?" Horikita asked. Still the only one who didn't know what was going on.

Syl ignored her. "Thanks for that Kushida, I never could have lost without you!"

Kushida frowned. "Who is it? How could she still win?" She mumbled angrily.

No one heard her.

Syl then looked at everyone. "So? Who called me here?"

All three of them looked around.

"It wasn't me." They all said together.

Syl paused for a second and laughed. "What a bastard!"

"Huh?" Horikita and Kushida asked, confused.

Ryuuen caught on and smiled. "X?"

Syl nodded.

The two girls were still confused.

Ryuuen decided to get started. "Good job not running away, Suzune."

She glared at him. "I told you not to call me that."

Ryuuen ignored her. "You seem upset? Are you not satisfied with the results?"

The results had just been posted, they went like this.

Red team (Ryuuen and both Horikita's) beat the white team.

For the first years.

1st. Class A (Ryuuen) 50 Class points

2nd. Class C (Sakayanagi) -100 Class points (-100 for white team losing)

3rd. Class B (Ichinose) -150 Class points (-100 for white team losing)

4th. Class D (Horikita) -100 Class points

Horikita didn't respond to Ryuuens' provocation.

Horikita turned to face Kushida. "Why did you betray the class?"

Kushida smiled. "Because I hate you. I will do anything to get you expelled, even if it drags down the class."

Horikita was silent.

Kushida laughed. "If you care so much about your precious class like you claim to, then you should just drop out on your own."

Horikita continued to remain silent.

Syl was the one to speak up. "Hey, uhh. I thought you decided to expel me first?"

Kushida turned to him and smiled sweetly.

"I changed my mind recently."

Syl nodded. "So you're going to expel Horikita again?"

Kushida smiled and nodded.

Syl chuckled. "Cool, then I'm off the hook! Isn't this great captain!?"

Ryuuen shrugged. "I don't really care about your scabbles." 2

Syl chuckled. "Yea, that sounds about right.

Suddenly Kushida pulled out her phone.

"I have a new plan for you, Syl."

Syl suddenly had a cold sweat run down his back. He didn't like the sound of that, or the look on her face.

Kushida hit play on a video.

["You're such a fucking two-faced bitch. You're disgusting."

"Wha- huh? Syl? What's wrong? What are you saying?"

"Shut up. I'm talking right now."

"Bu-b-but my friends."

"What friends? The other classes? You're one dumb bitch if you think anyone in the other classes will ever lift even a single finger to help you when you're on the chopping block."]

Kushida paused the spliced recording.

Horikita looked over at Syl. "How fucking dumb are you?"

Syl sighed. "It's spliced! Taken out of context! I swear!"

Ryuuen laughed at the show in front of him.

Kushida made her way over to Syl.

"As I was saying. I have a new plan, you'll listen right, Syl?"

Syl scowled and nodded. "Anything for my angel." He said sarcastically.

Kushida leaned forward and lightly pressed her breast together in Syl's face.

She had a twisted smile on her face.

"Good, then you're going to date me." 16

Chapter 68: Chapter 68 1

"Eh?" Syl asked, confused.

"You, Syl, are going to become MY lover." Kushida replied. 6

"Nononono, wait, wait, wait, WHAT?!" Syl cried out incredulously.

Kushida grabbed Syl's arm and pressed her chest up against it. "Aren't you happy? You get to date the school's angel."

Syl's face portrayed horror. "I'm dead, Ike's going to kill me, I can't wash this off."

Kushida playfully laughed. "No need to act so bashful."

Then she pouted cutely and looked up with sad eyes. "You want me don't you?"

Syl's heart fluttered for a moment.

Then he caught himself. "Nope, no thanks. I actually practice abstinence. I'm a follower of the lord. I actually am asexual. I have a birth defect where I am incapable of loving a woman romantically. I also have AIDS and herpes." 1

"Actually 70% of humans have herpes, so it's not that big a deal." Horikita pointed out. 3

" WHO'S SIDE ARE YOU ON??" Syl said angrily.

Horikita smirked. "Not yours. It's refreshing to see you so helpless after everything you did to me."

Syl nearly started crying.

Kushida clung onto Syl even harder. "Mou~ Don't be so mean, darling~."

Syl nearly lost himself again, that was a deadly attack!

Syl slapped his cheek to clear his senses. "What are you playing at? You didn't really fall for my charms, right?" He asked Kushida.

She giggled. "Maybe I really did~ You're super cool after all~."

Syl bit the inside of his cheek to not fall for her bewitchment! 1

He was struggling! He's never even held hands with a girl! (Romantically at least)

Now one was all over him! And calling him darling!

He was struggling to resist temptation!

"I won't fall for your trickery! What hath thou planned, witch?!" Syl called out as he made a cross with his two pointer fingers and backed away from Kushida.

Kushida continued smiling angelically. "Wouldn't it be really helpful to date the 2nd most popular boy in school? I can make so many new friends! Plus it would be a huge status boost!"

"That vote was rigged! I deserve first!" Syl called out.

Kushida giggled. "Even better! My darling is number 1!"

Syl remained stone faced at this attack, however a line of blood dripped down from his right nostril.

He was still taking damage!

"Wait! That's not the point! Wouldn't that be worse for you? Isn't it better to stay single and bait all the horny guys like Ike and Yamauchi?"

"He's so dense…" Kushida muttered.

"Pardon?" Syl asked

Kushida looked up at him and sweetly tucked her hair behind one ear. "Maybe I just really wanted to date you, darling~!" 1

Syl one again remained stone faced, but this time his left nostril also started bleeding!

"So basically, I'm being blackmailed into dating you?"

Kushida pouted. "Mou~ you make me sound so mean! I'm just asking you to be my darling~ otherwise my fingers might slip in the class groupchat~!"

Syl thought for a second before nodding. "Fine. Let's do this, just one thing…" Syl looked over her shoulder and pointed in the distance. "What's that over there???"

"Huh? What?" Kushida asked as she, Horikita and Ryuuen all turned around to look where Syl pointed.

Syl smiled and pulled something out of his pocket. "Dumb bitch, fell for the oldest trick in the book!" 1

He hurled his 1,000,000,000 year old rock at Kushida! 2

It grew three times the size and hit her in the back of the head before Syl shrunk it back down with magic as it thumped down on the floor right before Kushida fell over right beside it. 2

Horikita and Ryuuen turned around when they heard the sound of Kushida hitting the floor. 1

"Did you just? Kukukukukukuku." Ryuuen laughed.

Horikita looked on in horror. "You psychopath! What did you do?"

Syl was looking the opposite direction at the sky. "Hmmm, is it just me or is the sun really big today?"

Then Syl turned around and 'saw' Kushida for the first time. "AH! Oh no! My angel! Who could have done such a horrible thing?! This is too cruel!!" 3

Ryuuen started laughing even harder.

Syl ran over to Kushida and pretended to help her as he picked up her phone and deleted the video. "Aaaand she's no longer my girlfriend. What a shame! Hahahahaha! My first girlfriend and we broke up within 5 minutes!" 2

Horikita was staring at Syl dumbfounded. "What's wrong with you? I'm going-"

"Ah, ah, ah! You wouldn't be breaking your promise, would you?" Syl asked as he picked up the rock and showed it to Horikita.

"Wha-" Horikita was cut off.

"1 Billion years old~!" Syl chimed in with a smile on his face.

Ryuuen recovered from his laughing fit. "What promise?"

Horikita took a deep breath and sighed. "I promised him that, he could hit Kushida with a rock. But only IF it was 1 billion years old. How was I supposed to know he would just find one?" SHe grumbled. 2

"Kukukukukukuku. Hahahahaha! HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA!" Ryuuen was stunned for a second before he keeling over laughing and holding his stomach. 4

Syl started giggling. "Hehehe. It was pretty funny. Did you see her just flop? HAhahaah! HAHAHAAHA! That's what she gets!"

Horikita looked at the two maniacs surrounding her laughing at a girl getting knocked out with a rock and sighed. "What am I doing here? These people are insane."

"HAHAAHAHA!" Ryuuen and Syl continued laughing together, using each other as support to not fall over. 3

Horikita facepalmed.

"Did you see that? AHhhh! HAhahahaah!" Syl continued laughing with Ryuuen for a few more minutes before they eventually calmed back down.

"Whew. What a riot! Well, I'll be going now. You two have a wonderful time together. Ah, also, congrats on the new dog Horikita!" Syl chuckled to himself as he walked away.

Horikita sighed. "Sudo isn't a dog…"

Ryuuen smiled. "Well then. Now that both of them are gone. Shall we get started?"

Horikita and Ryuuen went on to have a chat, only to be interrupted by 'X' at the perfect time causing Ryuuen to withdraw.

Syl laughed when he got home.

"Fuck! Who knew that would be so much fun?!"

He relaxed and got into his pink bunny suit.

[Host had received 5 spins for completing hidden achievement 'hitting a bitch with a rock'.] 2

[Ding! Host has received. (Cool black gloves) x1, (Nail polish) [All colours, unlimited] x1, (Comfortable underwear- pink bunny pattern) [Unlimited stock] x1, (Comfortable socks- pink bunny edition) [Unlimited stock] x1, (Earring- Silver bunny) x1] 17

Syl had a huge grin on his face. "AWESOME!!! HAHAHA!! TODAY IS AMAZING! NOTHING COULD EVER RUIN IT!!"

Syl started painting his fingernails pink with extreme precision, nail polish was a part of make up so he was naturally a pro. 15

He also changed out of his underwear and socks into the new one and put the earring on his left ear.

He now had an upside down cross on one ear and a bunny leaping through the air on the other.

As Syl had just finished his little 'makeover' and got back into his pink bunny suit he received a text.

Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Nice 3

The next morning Syl woke up to 7 noise complaints.

He remembered yesterday and sighed to himself as he looked in the mirror.

"Congrats on your first girlfriend, me." He said in a soft voice in the mirror.

He chuckled at his reflection. "I bet mom would have been ecstatic, she'd be asking me for a grandson soon…" 2

Syl felt his eyes warm up as they got slightly watery.

He turned the tap on and started splashing himself in the face before slapping himself.

"Don't be such a downer. No one likes a sad guy. They're in a better place now." Syl looked up towards the sky. 1

"Don't worry guys, just watch me. I'll make you proud."

Syl looked back at himself in the mirror and smiled.

He turned around on his heels. "My angel is waiting~! Hahaha!" He laughed as he walked out of his room.

Syl opened up his phone and checked the new class rankings.

Class A (Ryuuen): 1013

Class B (Ichinose): 731

Class C (Sakayanagi): 717

Class D (Horikita): 701

Syl looked lost in thought as he played with his new earring in one hand.

He then smiled at himself and slightly lifted his dress pants revealing the pink wool socks with small bunny ears on them.

They were so comfy! His new underwear too!

He also loved the hot pink nail polish!

Syl was stylin' he was loving his new look! 4

As Syl walked to school he heard a bunch of people muttering things.

"Is that him?"

"He tamed the angel."

"You mean fallen angel?"

"Haha! Yeah"

"I heard they call him Azazel."

"Really? That's hilarious!"

Syl sighed. So much fake news! Outrageous!

He whistled as he made his way to class.

When he walked through the door everyone was staring at him.

Ike charged. "You bastard!!!!" He jumped and kicked at Syl with both feet.

Syl laughed and caught him mid air.

"Hey! How's it hanging?" He asked Ike as he held him up in the air upside down.

Ike started flailing his arms wildly. "Haruki! Formation 3!!"

Suddenly Yamauchi charged at Syl with a ferle look in his eyes. 1

"Fucking Azazel! You bastard! You corrupted our angel!"

He slid tacked Syl's legs.

Syl just jumped over the tackle and dropped Ike on Yamauchi's stomach.

"Geh!"

"Keuk!"

They both tumbled in a ball out of the classroom and face planted on the lockers across the hall.

"He's good." Ike muttered in pain.

"Too good." Yamauchi agreed.

Syl smiled and ran over to Kushida's desk. "Angel~! I'm here!"

Kushida smiled and hugged him. "Darling~!"

The whole class turned green when they saw this. They couldn't tell whether they wanted to puke or be envious! 1

Maybe both! Puke with envy!

Kei looked at this with a disgusted look.

"What did that bitch do?" She muttered.

She subconsciously looked over at Ayanokoji hoping he would help in some way.

Ayanokoji just thought it was upsetting that he would never find a girlfriend. 4

He sighed and looked out the window.

Then he thought about the text he received from Syl this morning.

Yesterday Chabashira had introduced the next special exam. It was a written test where you made your own questions and could attack other classes.

After talking to Kushida for a while, Syl went back to sit at his own desk.

Class passed by like any normal class.

When it was over, Kushida skipped up to Syl.

"Darling~! Are you free after class?"

Syl smiled. "Anytime angel."

The two linked arms and walked out of class with huge smiles on their faces.

On their way out they happened to pass by someone.

"Fufu. This is an interesting sight. You're not going back on your word, are you?"

Syl shook his head no. "Kiryuin, listen I-"

Syl was cut off by a quick elbow to the ribs and glare from Kushida.

"Who's this? Darling~!" She asked as she squeezed her boobs against his arm and pulled him in close.

Syl smiled wryly. "She's a senpai, she's the one who gave us the notes on the first midterm. She saved our entire class, so please be nice to her angel."

Kushida smiled. "Is that so? Hi! I'm Kushida! Syl's girlfriend! Pleasure to meet you."

"Dogs always bark so loud." She said with a challenging smile. She walked up to Syl and whispered in his ear. "I'll take a raincheck on our bet, it's no fun if we have to babysit."

Syl sighed in relief and nodded.

Kiryuin smiled at Kushida before walking away.

Kushida bit her fingernail and frowned. "Who does that bitch think she is?"

Syl panicked. "Did you see the new movie? I heard it's out today!" 4

Kushida's attitude did a 180. "Aww. You're so sweet darling~! Let's go!"

Syl chuckled. "Sure thing! It's on me!"

Kushida blushed slightly. "T-thanks."

Syl smiled widely and wrapped his arm around her shoulder before walking away with her. "No problem."

The two sat down together to watch the movie.

Halfway through Syl excused himself to go to the bathroom.

Kushida let him go.

Syl got out and sighed in relief. He made his way over to a dark corner of the mall in the opposite direction of the bathrooms.

"Why did you ask to meet up?" Someone asked from around the corner.

"I want to discuss the next exam. Are you willing to make a deal?"

"Sure, depending on what you want."

5 minutes later Syl was walking back to the movie theater.

Just when he entered he saw Kushida leaving. "There you are! I thought you were trying to leave me!" Kushida said with a smile as she pulled up the video of Syl on her phone. 3

Syl sweat. "I would never, there was a long line!"

Kushida smiled happily and put her phone away. "I was kidding, silly! I know you wouldn't ever leave!"

"Haha! Yeah!" 2

They walked back into the movie theater together. 1

Chapter 70: Chapter 70 1

The next day.

Everyone was in the gym for the inauguration of the new student council president.

Nagumo made an announcement about how things were going to change and how the school would become more individual based rather than class focused.

Syl yawned. This was pretty boring, it was just like any other school announcement.

When the assembly ended Syl walked over to Chabashira.

"Sensei~ I have a question!"

Chabashira sighed. "Yes, Syl? Are you not busy with your new girlfriend?"

Syl scowled quickly before returning back to normal. "My angel is fine! Why? Is someone jealous?"

Chabashira furrowed her brow. "Chie has been in a bad mood lately." She mumbled. 1

Syl froze. "Eh? Really?"

Chabashira was surprised he could hear her but just cleared her throat and pretended nothing happened.

"What is your question?"

Syl put the thought of Chie to the back of his mind. "I have a question about the exam."

5 minutes later Syl was walking to class whistling.

Charisma/Charm: EX

Syl nearly tripped on her own feet. " I'M LORD OF THE FLIES!!" 1

Everyone in the hall turned to face him with a weird look on their faces.

"What did he just say?"

"Is he okay?"

"I think something is wrong with him, let's stay away."

"Don't worry Syl! You're definitely lord of the flies! Go you!" One random girl called out.

"Thanks! What's your name?" Syl asked her.

"U-umm. Sarah." 1

Syl flashed an angelic smile. "Thanks, Sarah!"

He walked off smiling. 'Someone gets it!'

Sarah fainted from the shock at the sight. 2

She fell to the floor with a permanent smile and a nose bleed.

Syl arrived at class and everyone was surrounding Kushida's desk.

A bunch of words were etched into the desk.

'Die!'

'Pig!'

'Bitch!'

'Whore!'

She was staring at her desk crying.

Horikita shot Syl a glare as if to say. 'Too far' 2

But Syl was just as confused as anyone else! He had no clue what was happening! He had nothing to do with this!

Then he saw one more thing etched into the desk.

'Break up with Syl! Slut!'

Syl shrank back in fear and gulped.

Girls are terrifying!

They did this just cause she was dating Syl?!

How cruel!

Syl went over to comfort Kushida, who started crying into his chest.

Eventually class started and Chabashira asked the class who they wanted to attack in the exam.

Syl raised his hand.

"It's rare to hear from you, Syl. What is your suggestion?"

Syl stood up. "I think we should attack class B, Ichinose's class. Right now this is the best option because Ryuuen will use another dirty trick and Sakayanagi's class was originally class A and is the best at academics. I think it's between class A and B and facing Ichinose is much better than Ryuuen. What do you guys think?"

The class nodded along.

"Yeah."

"Makes sense."

"I don't want to go against Ryuuen again."

Horikita analyzed the class's responses.

She stood up. "Then is anyone against attacking class B?"

Kushida hesitated for a moment before deciding not to speak up.

The next day.

Class D found out that they would be facing Class B as both classes wanted to attack each other.

It turns out Class A tried to attack them too but because both Class D and B had mutual ideas they got left out.

That night Syl got a call from someone.

"Kukuku. Are you running away? Trying to protect X?"

Syl rolled over in his bed and pulled the hood off the hood of his onesie as he ate a lollipop.

"You think I'd run away from my captain? Never! I just need to take care of something." Syl replied lightheartedly.

Ryuuen chuckled. "Albert was glad we didn't have to face you again."

Syl smiled. "Me too! Love that guy!" 1

"How's your precious angel? Kukuku."

Syl made a gagging noise. 2

Ryuuen laughed. "I hear they're calling you Azazel."

Syl sighed. "Apparently I made her become a fallen angel or something? I don't know, I'm not too caught up on the lore of angels."

"Can't say I am either."

Syl chuckled. "Is that all?"

"I just wanted to make sure you weren't helping X run away."

Syl laughed. "Don't worry, I think you'll meet that bastard pretty soon."

Ryuuen laughed. "I know." 1

He hung up.

Syl sighed and lay back down in his bed.

He looked at his computer in his room and sighed. 4

"How exhausting."

The next day.

The groups were going to be decided by everyone's placements on a practice test in a few days.

When Kushida's partner was going to be decided she instantly jumped at the chance to pick Syl.

A few people complained but it was all relatively mild.

Then an unexpected hand went up.

"Actually, I think that Kushida could team up with someone else, maybe Yamauchi?" Ayanokoji spoke up.

Horikita nodded in agreement but before he could say anything Syl intervened.

"Actually, I think I really need my angel's help this time."

"But you scored the best on the first midterm." Horikita pointed out.

Syl laughed nervously. "That was only because I had, Kiryu-" Kushida glared at him. Syl coughed "Ahem, someone else's notes. I'm actually not that good at academics, I'm only confident in English, I feel like I might fail…"

Kushida smiled and looked at Horikita. "I don't want to see Syl get expelled, can't we team up together? Please?"

Horikita looked frustrated but eventually relented. "Fine. But you better go for the top spot on this exam."

Kushida laughed graciously. "Of course!"

Syl nodded with a huge smile on his face.

Ayanokoji looked at Syl, not sure what was happening.

After class that day Kei approached Syl.

"Hey doggie. Come with me. I need to talk to you." Kei ordered.

Syl got up to follow her.

A moment later, Kushida was in both of their faces.

"Hey guys! What's up?"

Syl shrugged. "Kei asked to talk to me."

Kushida paused for a moment. "Kei?"

Syl started sweating. "Umm, I mean, Karuizawa. Haha."

Kei rolled her eyes. "Sorry, I need to talk to Syl alone."

Kushida had a scary look in her eyes. 4

Syl looked away and started whistling.

Kei huffed. "I'm not doing anything to him. I already have a boyfriend, remember?"

Kushida smiled. "Alright, I'll see you later darling~!"

"Yup! Can't wait, Angel!"

Kushida walked away and went to talk to some other people in the class.

Kei practically dragged Syl to the roof.

"What's going on?" She asked him when they were finally alone.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Why are you with her? You hate her."

Syl pointed at himself. "Eh? Was it that obvious?"

"So you admit it."

"Wha- wait, so you didn't know?"

Kei shook her head. "I just guessed. Woman's intuition."

Syl gulped. "Women are scary." 1

Kei smirked. "I know."

Syl sighed. "What do you want?"

"What's going on? Why are you dating someone you hate?"

"How could I ever hate my angel?" Syl asked innocently.

Kei frowned. "You almost made me believe you with your act this whole time, if I hadn't noticed that you hated her before I never would have guessed."

Syl chuckled. "I don't know what you're talking about."

Kei sighed. "Are you alright?"

Syl smiled. "Great."

Kei shook her head. "You know, I can tell when someone is lying about being okay. You're like totally lying… Nevermind, just remember that you can ask me for anything. I'll help you out."

Syl was silent for a moment. "... thanks. I'm glad you have my back."

He walked away without saying anything else.

Kei frowned at his back. "Something's up… is that why Ayanokoji…"

She picked up her phone and texted an unregistered number.

The message was read and ignored.

Kei pouted. "Stupid idiot, does he think he only as to answer when its convenient for him? Ugh! So annoying!"

Syl walked home and grabbed something from his room.

He walked down the hall to the elevator and went to floor four.

He knocked on door 401.

A moment later someone opened the door.

Syl smiled and handed him a box with a bow. "Happy birthday man."

Ayanokoji looked down at the present.

"Is that for me?"

Syl chuckled and nodded.

Ayanokoji took the gift from Syl and went to walk in and close the door.

Syl slid his foot in the door frame and stopped it. "Aren't you going to open it in front of me?"

Ayanokoji looked back. "Is that what you're supposed to do?"

Syl smiled and nodded. "The best part about giving a gift is seeing their reaction."

"I see." Ayanokoji tore off the wrapping perfectly and opened the gift.

Ayanokoji looked at the gift which was a huge flag that said. 'Nobody's perfect, don't beat yourself up!' 1

Ayanokoji looked at the note attached to it.

[To a future friendship.]

"Thanks." Ayanokoji said.

Syl smiled and looked over Ayanokoji's shoulder. "I figured you wouldn't have anything to decorate your walls, looks like I was right."

Ayanokoji nodded. "I don't need any decorations, the room looks fine."

Syl chuckled. "That's why you personalized it, give it a little pizzazz! I thought this was a good fit."

Ayanokoji looked at his walls wondering where to put it.

Syl chuckled and walked away. "Hopefully the next time I'm over you'll have already hung it!"

Ayanokoji watched his back as he left. "My second birthday wish… and first gift. Maybe I really can make a friend here…" 4

Just like that the days went by.

Syl was forced by Kushida to study.

He reluctantly complied when she pulled out the video…

Anyway, Syl's terrible love life aside!

Things went well! Class D was feeling refreshed and the studying was going well.

The Ayanokoji group had formed, which led to a new scenario within the class.

"Kiyopon~!" Syl called out as he jumped on Ayanokoji's back. 2

Ayanokoji sighed. "Do you have to do this every morning?"

Syl poked his cheek. "Is my little Kiyopon upset? This won't do! We must purge those who upset him! Now off! Into the sunset!"

Syl pointed towards the class over Ayanokoji's shoulder as he rode piggyback.

Ayanokoji sighed and carried him to class… again…

When they arrived Syl hopped off his back and chuckled. "My noble steed is the best!"

He laughed as he ran into class. "Angel~! I missed you!"

He ran over to Kushida who blushed and smiled. "I missed you too darling."

The people surrounding Kushida all sighed. "Again…" They all muttered.

They were starting to get used to it!

So much PDA!

Too much fluff!

They were so jealous!

Class went by as usual.

After class Syl went with Horikita who wanted to meet up with Ichinose.

When they arrived. Syl smiled and waved. "Hey, Ichynose!" 4

"Hey, Syl! But, what did you just call me?"

Syl tilted his head. "Ichinose, was that wrong?"

She mumbled. "I could have swore he said something else…"

Syl inwardly chuckled, she was so gullible!

Then he spotted someone. "Ah! Good luck you two! I'm gonna go!"

Horikita tried to stop him but she was too late. Both girls just decided to meet and talk without him.

Syl ran down the hall.

"Sensei~!" He called out.

The person Syl called out to started walking faster.

Syl frowned. "What's wrong with her?" He mumbled.

Then he shrugged. "Who knows?"

He chased after her to find out.

Eventually she went to the roof.

Syl was too busy chasing her to even realize how weird it was that she went to the roof for no reason in the middle of the day.

"Chie! What's up?" Syl asked.

Hoshinomiya turned to face him. "Why are you following me?"

"Eh? Uhh… I just haven't seen you in a while. I wanted to talk. Are you busy or something?"

Chie smiled innocently. "I always have time for a cute student!"

Syl smiled. "Great! What's up? How's the special exam going?"

Chie pouted. "How mean~! You're just trying to get information about my class out of me!"

Syl looked shocked. "What? No! I'm not!"

Chie leaned in and giggled in his ear. "I'm just kidding~!"

Syl gulped when he felt her breath tickle his ear.

He suddenly felt slightly guilty, even though he wasn't really dating Kushida… Syl had always hated cheaters. 5

He subconsciously stepped back and made distance.

Chie pouted. "What's wrong? You usually love this."

Syl chuckled nervously. "Well, it's just… you know…"

Chie walked around behind him and popped her head over his shoulder. "Your girlfriend?"

Syl reluctantly nodded.

"Mou~ I can't believe you would do this! What about me? Am I not cute enough~?" She leaned forward and her chest pressed against Syl's back. 1

Syl stiffened and froze up for a moment before taking a step forward and separating himself from Chie. 1

"Sorry, I just remembered I have something to do." He said sadly as he walked away.

Chie watched him go and pouted.

"Thieving cat. That's my cutie." She muttered. 2

Syl walked down the hallways and ended up passing Horikita and Ichinose again.

"Hey! Where did you go?!" Horikita asked angrily.

Syl looked up at her. "Nowhere, sorry. Do you still need help?"

Horikita shook her head. "Yeah, you have to…"

Syl tuned out the rest of her words.

"... questions. Got it?" Horikita finished.

Syl looked up at her with confused eyes. "Sorry, I didn't catch that."

Horikita furrowed her brow. "Were you just not listening? I-"

Ichinose cut her off. "Horikita! I think Syl's just really tired! Maybe we should let him have today off?"

Horikita sighed. "Fine, go."

Syl nodded absentmindedly and walked away.

Horikita looked at him for a moment. "What's wrong with him?"

Ichinose chuckled and looked away. "Haha! Who knows?"

Horikita sighed. "You're right, now back to the exam…"

Ichinose nodded and they continued discussing things.

Syl returned to class and Kushida walked up to him. "Hey, darling! Ready for today's study session?"

Syl looked at her with empty eyes. "Sorry, I don't think I can make it today, I'm really tired." He walked past her and grabbed his stuff. "Next time for sure." He said as he walked away.

Kushida looked stunned, she grit her teeth and mumbled angrily. "Did someone hurt him?"

"Why don't you study with us then?" One of the girls offered.

Kushida put her fake smile back on. "Sorry, I think I'll take a break today too. Don't want to tire myself out!"

The other girls acknowledged this and Kushida left.

"Who hurt my darling? I'll kill them. Who hurt my darling? I'll kill them. Who hurt my darling? I'll kill them. Who hurt my darling? I'll kill them. Who hurt my darling? I'll kill them…" She muttered over and over again as she walked home. 12

Syl returned home and saw a letter in his mailbox. He opened it and saw it was just someone slandering Ichinose.

He ripped it up and threw it on the floor as he entered his room.

He walked to the training room and threw his bag in the corner.

He walked over and started furiously pounding on a punching bag.

After a few seconds and nearly 100 punches he threw a hard right and put a whole in the bag as it flew off the rack, landing next to a pile of tens of other bags in the exact same shape. 2

Syl let out a deep breath and started again with kicks as a new bag was automatically set up by the house.

An hour later.

Syl left the room and got a glass of water before cooking himself dinner and going to bed.

[What's wrong darling? I'm concerned about you!]

Syl scowled and threw his phone on his bed without answering.

A few days later.

It was finally time for the exams.

Syl entered the room with a genuine smile on his face.

He was humming to himself as the test was handed out.

He started writing the test along with everyone else.

Eventually the English test came and Syl caught a fearful look on Kushida's face.

After the exam. "How was it?"

"Great!"

"It was… okay."

"I probably passed."

A bunch of people started talking about their experiences.

Kushida walked over to Syl. "Did you do well darling?"

Syl smiled. "How could I not when you already gave me all the answers before the test?"

Kushida giggled happily. "Anything for you, darling."

Syl chuckled. "What about you angel? How was it?"

Kushida pouted. "Well… the English test was wrong…"

Syl shrugged. "Was it?"

Kushida nodded. "I know you didn't ask for the questions because you're so good at it, but that bitch Ichinose gave me the wrong questions…"

Syl chuckled. "Who cares, it's not like we'll fail."

Kushida laughed. "Right? My darling is the best at english!"

'If that slut Ichinose was after MY darling… I'll destroy her.' Kushida silently thought. 6

Kushida clung to Syl and the two left class together.

Chabashira, who was collecting the tests, looked over a few secretly.

She smiled when she saw one. "So that's your plan? Good."

The next day.

The results were about to be posted.

Chabashira walked to the front of the class.

"Good job on all of your exams everyone." Chabashira honestly congratulated the entire class.

"This time you guys did much better than past years on this exam, honestly for a class D to be doing this well is unheard of. You guys are certainly the first. Because of this, I would like to congratulate all of you."

Ike gasped. "I think it's raining upwards! Chabashira is being nice!"

"HAhaha!" The class burst into laughter.

Ike smiled, proud of his own achievement and making the class laugh so hard.

Chabashira sighed. "Yes, Ike. I am saying congratulations. Perhaps it is because you failed and this will be your last time in the classroom."

Ike froze like a statue. "Haha! You joke too much sensei! I didn't fail! Right?"

Chabashira responded mysteriously. "Who knows?"

Ike started sweating. "Wait, I didn't actually fail, right?" 1

Chabashira ignored him. "Now, as for your results against Class B. You all put up a valiant effort…" Chabashira pulled out a sheet and put it up on the board. "Unfortunately, Class B was one step ahead of you."

The scores were posted. Class D had done fairly well, however Class B's marks were nearly perfect.

"No way." Horikita mumbled as she looked over at Kushida.

Kushida smiled and waved at her, acting innocent.

Horikita grit her teeth. 'How?? I submit the questions early! Even Chabashira confirmed that I was the first to submit questions! What did she do?'

Ayanokoji looked at Horikita with interest. 'This could be good for her, no… our class's growth.'

Syl smiled and put his feet up on his desk as he leaned back.

Chabashira pretended not to see as she continued on.

"Unfortunately you guys didn't win this time, however you still have over 600 class points."

Ike called out. "We're so far behind now!"

"Shut up, Ike." Horikita said. Then she raised her hand.

"Yes, Horikita." Chabashira said.

"Can I look at the questions we handed over to Class B. I think they would be good review notes."

"Didn't you guys write them yourselves? You should already have access to them, no?" Chabashira replied.

"... I lost my notebook." Horiktia lied.

Chabashira sighed. "600 class points is how many private points per month? And you can't afford a new notebook? Or a computer so you don't lose notes?"

"I didn't think I'd lose it…" Horikita replied.

Kushida chimed in. "Don't worry! I still have mine! I'll give you the questions! No need to bother sensei!"

Horikita furrowed her brows. "No, I don't want to trouble a classmate, the school should have all the questions anyway. Right?"

Chabashira looked at the two. "Come see me after class, we can talk about this more later."

Horikita nodded.

Chabashira then turned back to the class. "Then, as the best class D with 600 points-"

Ike interrupted her. "Sensei! We already know we have over 600 class points! Why do you keep saying that?"

A few people in the class froze as they connected the dots.

"No way… It can't be… not again." Hirata muttered in a cold sweat as fear crept up on his face.

"Fufufufu. Exactly, that's the amount of class points it takes to save 2 people." Koenji said as he checked himself out.

Horikita stood up abruptly. "Did I… fail?"

She looked over at Kushida hatefully.

Kushida smiled in return and mouthed. 'Your fault.'

Horikita sat back down angrily.

"T-that's wrong. Isn't it?" Ike asked nervously.

Chabashira spoke up. "That's right, one group, two people in this class failed to meet the requirements. They were the only two people in the grade to fail this exam." 1

Ike jumped up in a panic. "It wasn't me right?! It had to be someone else! Like Ayanokoji and Sato! Or Or OR Anyone else!" 1

The rest of the class started panicking and accusing others of failing.

"Please be seated everyone." Chabashira said.

Hirata stood up and raised his hand.

Chabashira sighed. "Yes?"

"Can we use our class points to save them? It's 300 class points a person right? Then we can save everyone if we just pay! Right guys?"

Everyone who was confident in their results was quiet. Looking away.

Ike stood up. "Good idea! Right guys?"

A couple other people who were concerned about their marks chimed in and agreed.

Chabashira sighed. "You can all talk about this later."

"Right? We don't even know who it is." Kei pointed out.

"It doesn't matter! We have to save them!" Hirata shouted, causing everyone to be shocked.

Chabashira sighed and went to put up a second poster of the grades.

"The duo who fail this special exam…" She hung the poster and circled a group.

"... Is Kushida and Syl. You will both be expelled." 7

Chapter 74: Chapter 74

Kushida jumped out of her seat. "WHAT?!" 1

Syl mimicked her reaction. "HOW?!"

Kushida started biting her fingernails. "How? How could this happen? It's impossible."

"That's all for today's class." Chabashira said and walked away.

Syl chased after her in a rush. "Sensei!"

He eventually caught up to her in an empty hallway and looked back. "Whew! I lost them."

Chabashira turned back to him. "Are you not concerned about your explution?"

Syl smiled and walked away. "Nope!"

Back in the classroom.

Kushida was in shock.

Horikita was in the same state.

Didn't Kushida betray us? How is she the only one who failed?

Suddenly a hand tapped on her shoulder.

She turned back to see Ayanokoji.

"Look." He said as he pointed at the whiteboard.

Every single test was a perfect 100 marks from both Kushida and Syl, except for one.

English.

Kushida- 38 points

Syl- 0 points

Horikita mumbled. "Impossible…"

"Weren't the first 30 questions super easy?" Ayanokoji asked.

Horikita nodded absentmindedly. "Yeah, almost like they were… No way."

Ayanokoji stood up and walked away.

Horikita ran after Syl.

Kushida just left the class with a blank face without even looking at the results.

Eventually Horikita found Syl. She slammed her hand against the wall behind him right next to his head. 1

"You! What did you do?!"

Syl chuckled. "Isn't the guy supposed to be the one who does this?" He asked as he pushed her hand away from his face. 1

"Answer!"

Syl sighed. "I don't know what you're talking about. I'm just a lonely boy who got expelled. Why are you so mean?"

At this point Kushida showed up and saw Horikita in close to Syl.

"Move, bitch." She said coldly.

Horikita felt a shiver down her spine as she backed away.

Syl smiled. "If it isn't my favourite angel! What are you doing here?"

"What did you do? How could we fail?"

Syl chuckled. "Fail? I'm pretty sure we're a contender for 1st place."

"What do you mean?" Kushida asked in a shaky voice.

"Didn't you look at the results?" Horikita asked, annoyed.

Kushida looked livid. "Shut up bitch! I'm talking to my darling!" She lunged at Horikita who was taken by surprise. "Stay out of this!"

Kushida tried to punch Horikita only for her punch to be caught.

"That's not very angel-like if you ask me." Syl said as he casually let go of Kushida's fist.

Kushida's eyes widened. "No way… you, you two. You planned this? What's your goal? Are you trying to steal him? MY Syl? He's mine!" 2

She charged back at Horikita only to be stopped by Syl again.

"What are you on about now?" Syl asked.

Kushida was freaking out. She pulled out her phone. "You can't leave! G-get back with me! Or I'll show them all… huh? Wha-? Where is it?"

Syl pulled out his phone and smiled. A video appeared on screen. "You mean this?"

"Why do you have that? Where is it? I swear it was here yesterday! I checked!" Kushida furiously rifled through her phone and the cloud in all the places she saved the video. 1

Syl tossed his phone in the air.

"I'm good with tech." Syl chuckled.

Kushida fell to her knees. "What? Wh-what does that mean?"

Syl bent down and smiled in her face. "It means you no longer have me by the balls, bitch. I can do whatever I want." 1

Kushida started tearing up. "H-how."

Syl shrugged. "I just hacked the school's servers and removed the video. I even have the entire video now, including the parts about you."

Tears fell down Kushida cheeks. "W-why darling? Why would you do this to me? Weren't we the best couple?"

Syl fell over laughing. "Hahaha! Fucking good one!"

Kushida tried to burrow herself into his chest as she balled.

Syl backed away and she hit the cold, hard, floor.

"I loved you! Why?!" She screamed. 1

Syl froze. "Eh?"

"We loved each other! Why would you do this? Oo-oh I know! Y-you just wanted to stay together outside of school right? If we both get expelled then we don't have to deal with all these pesky bitches trying to take you away from me! Yes! That's it! Right, darling?" 4

Syl backed away slowly. "What the fuck are you talking about?" He asked in horror.

Kushida looked up at him with an unhealthy obsession in her eyes and a huge smile. "We're going to be together forever, right? Just like this past month!" 1

Syl looked at Kushida with terror in his eyes. 'This bitch is fucking nuts! She's completely lost it! Is this why you said never stick your dick in crazy? You were right, mom! This is fucked!' 4

"Aww! That's so sweet darling! I love you too!"

Syl started sweating and looked at Horikita in a panicked way asking for help.

Horikita was just as terrified and didn't even notice.

Kushida got up and started walking towards Syl. "Darling~!"

Syl started backing away in fear.

Kushida's eyes focused solely on him, nothing else mattered to her.

Suddenly, she collapsed.

Someone was standing over her after chopping her neck.

"Fufufu. What an interesting way to break up."

Syl sighed in relief and held his head in one hand.

"You're a lifesaver, Kiryuin." 2

She turned around and walked away. "I'm doubling your due. You owe me at least that much."

Syl smirked. "Yeah, no problem. Just let me know."

Kiryuin walked away smiling.

"W-what just happened?" Horikita asked in shock.

"A wandering beauty saved us." Syl replied with a chuckle.

Horikita looked at Kushida's unconscious body with fearful eyes. "That was terrifying."

Syl laughed. "You weren't even the one she was after!"

Horikita shook her head and pointed at a small knife in Kushida's hand. "I think she was trying to get rid of competition… of me." 2

Syl saw the knife for the first time and was shocked. "Fucking crazy bitch!"

Horikita shivered at the thought.

Syl was silent for a moment before he looked up and saw a security camera. He took a glove out of his system storage but pretended it was from his pocket. He carefully picked up the knife with the glove on.

He held it up to the camera like he was proving that it wasn't his.

"Do you happen to have a ziplock back?" 2

Horikita shook her head.

Syl sighed. He walked past Horikita. "Let's go."

Horikita quickly chased after him. She looked back. "What about her?"

Syl scowled and spit on the floor. "Who cares?"

Horikita nodded and the two went to the office to report the incident.

Chapter 76: Chapter 76

"Huh? Who would ever do that? That's so dumb!" Ike replied.

Syl nearly got up and smacked him.

That was his genius plan!

It was flawless! Just as flawless as Syl's perfect skin!

Horikita looked back at Syl. "Where did you get 2 million private points?"

"I don't know what you're talking about." Syl replied.

"Unless… So that was your deal with Ichinose?" Horikita nodded in understanding.

Syl smiled. "It was actually only 1 million. I got a discount by specifying that I would get a 0 on the exam."

Horikita frowned. "So you're telling me you purposely lost, just to expel Kushida? She was valuable to the class."

Syl nearly laughed out loud. "You gonna stand by that even after she almost murdered you?"

Horikita was silent.

Then she turned around and faced the front of the class, ignoring Syl for the rest of the day.

If you can't beat em' ignore em'! A classic!

Syl was shocked. She's just gonna ignore me? What a sore loser!

Class eventually ended and everyone came over asking Syl a bunch of questions.

Eventually Syl escaped the crowd.

He was stopped in the hall by a little girl with a cane. "Fufu. You certainly made quite the display during this exam." 1

Syl smiled. "I haven't a clue what you're talking about."

She took a step closer to him. "Perhaps you would be a good warm up."

Syl waved her off. "I already beat Kiyopon! Get in line kiddo."

Sakayanagi was taken aback. "Eh? That's a lie."

Syl shook his head. "Ask him."

Sakayanagi pondered for a moment before laughing. "Fufufufu. Is that so? How did you do it?"

Syl shrugged. "I gave him the good ole' one two." He said as he shadow boxed.

Sakayanagi smirked. 'That's not possible, Ayanokoji is a flawless fighter, he must have let this idiot win for some reason.' 1

"He didn't." Syl answered without being asked a question. 1

"Hmm. I don't believe I said anything." 1

Syl smirked. "It's written all over your smug little face."

"You're not one to call me small." 2

Syl smiled. "But I'm still the number 1 boy in the school."

"Number 2."

"It was rigged! He bought votes!"

"Fufufu. Our student council president would never do such a thing."

Syl chuckled. "Sure, sure and Kushida's an angel… I need to find a new line now…" 1

Sakayanagi took this opportunity. "It's a pity your girlfriend was forced to leave. You must be very upset."

Syl smiled. "I'm just heartbroken."

"Fufufu. How interesting. I must say, you're racking up very impressive achievements. You scored higher than perfect, hunted a shark, and now forced the school to make a new rule."

Syl laughed. "You're dad probably hates me." 2

"So you even know about that? Well, quite the contrary, I think he is quite impressed and intrigued by your actions."

Syl smiled. "It's an honor, if the chairman truly feels that way, that is."

Sakayanagi smiled. "Then, I'll be on my way, I bid you adieu."

Syl nodded. "Would you like a hand?"

"I'm quite alright, thank you." 1

Syl flashed a grin. "Then, see you around."

They both walked their separate ways.

Syl made his way home. Today happened to be the first of the month so he got his extra spins.

[Host received 6 spins for 600 class points.]

[Asauchi would like to combine with dawn's ballad. Y/N?]

"Combine."

Dawn's ballad appeared in Syl's hand and it felt slightly different. Like it had a soul now.

Syl smiled as he glowed yellow receiving his new gifts.

Gimme ideas for the spins. Also sorry for short chapter, much like Syl, I'm also tired. Also also, i was really starting to like Kushida, I almost didn't expel her… I even considered making her the FL… I just really like yandere's…

Chapter 77: Chapter 77

The next day Syl woke up lazily.

He made his way to the bathroom with half closed eyes. He tossed his clothes in the hamper in the corner and took a warm bath while blowing bubbles in the water. 1

When he finished he brushed his teeth and got ready for school. Making himself a slice of toast for the walk to school. On his way he passed by Ryuuen.

With his slice of toast in his mouth he walked over. "Captain! Albert! What's up?" 1

Ryuuen looked over and laughed. "Kukuku. You seem happy for someone who just lost his 'angel'."

Syl spit out his toast and grabbed Ryuuen by the collar. "Leave a guy alone! I was being blackmailed! Blackmailed I tell you! Wait! You were there! You already know this!"

Ryuuen smiled. 1

[What happened?] Albert asked.

Syl sighed. [So basically…]

After he finished explaining, Albert mumbled. [Women are terrifying…]

Syl nodded. [Right? I think she was gonna try to kill Horikita!]

Albert shivered.

[Anyway! How's it going with you?] Syl asked.

Albert looked down, mildly ashamed. [I haven't talked to her much.] 2

Syl sighed and pat his back. [Don't worry big guy! Your time will come!]

Albert nodded. [Thanks.]

Then Syl looked like he remembered something, he fished through his bag for a moment before pulling something out.

[Here! To cheer you up!] Syl said as he handed Albert a huge Canadian flag.

[Really? Can I have this?]

Syl nodded. [Of course! I heard you didn't have a Canadian one yet, so I got you a nice big one for your wall!] 2

Albert faintly smiled. [You didn't have too.]

Syl laughed. [I was already buying a flag anyway so I just got one more! No biggie!]

Albert smiled and thanked him again.

Syl chuckled as he ran off. [Gotta go! See ya!]

Syl whistled to the tune of Feeling Whitney. 1

He was rocking his head side to side as he sang the song in his head.

"Sys, Spin me! I can't wait anymore!" 2

[Ding! Host has received. (Whistling talent) x1, (singing talent) x1, (Black dry erase marker) x1, (Acupuncture skill) x1, (Dancing talent) x1, (Fire magic) [basic] x1, (Wind magic) [basic] x1, (Earth magic) [basic] x1, (Ice magic) [basic] x1, (Ear wiggling) x1, (Eyebrow dancing) [Low level] x1, (Thermometer) x1, (Typing talent) x1, (Magic core boost) x1, (Duplicates) x6] 6

[Typing talent and calligraphy have merged into (Writing talent)]

[Fire, Water, Earth, Wind and Ice magic have merged into (Elemental magic)]

[Acupuncture has been added to medical skills.] 1

Syl smiled and made a tiny flame in the palm of his hand.

Then it turned into an ice sculpture of Kushida and he crushed it with a rock he made.

He giggled. "Just like when I hit her with that rock!" 2

Then he continued on his way to class, whistling feeling whitney a lot better.

He pulled out his phone and checked the class rankings.

Class A (Ryuuen): 823

Class B (Ichinose): 809

Class C (Sakayanagi): 796

Class D (Horikita): 648

He eventually made it to class.

He heard some people gossiping about a special new exam due to the fact that only 1 first year had been expelled and they still had 160 students.

Syl shrugged.

Who cares? It's not like he would be expelled!

Right? 4

Then someone brought up the topic of how Class A students had been following them around recently.

Syl raised a brow at this. No one had been following him! 1

Probably because Ryuuen knew that the X he was looking for wasn't Syl.

"Did you guys hear?"

"Somehow class A lost 100 points."

"Yeah! Apparently there was an issue!"

"They must be self-destructing lolololol."

Syl paused. He had forgotten about this. He hummed in thought.

After class Syl made his way to Class B.

"Yo! Ichilnoise!" 2

"Hey! Syl! What did you just call me?"

Syl tilted his head. "Ichinose. Why?"

"Oh, I must have heard- Wait! You're messing with me again!"

Syl gasped. "What? Me? No way! I would never!"

Ichinose stared at him with a cute pout on her face for a moment. "Alright… but I'm watching you." She said as she narrowed her eyes. Staring at him intently.

Syl covered his body with his arms. "Kyaa! Pervert! Hentai! Ecchi!" 3

Ichinose backed away in shock. "EH? What? Me? No. No, I was just-"

"You're the enemy of all men!" Syl cried out. 5

"Wait, no! Syl! Just let me explain!" Ichinose called out in a panic.

Someone came up behind and hugged Ichinose. "Honami-chan! You shouldn't oglee boys like that!"

"Eh? No, sensei! I was just-"

"I can never get married!" Syl said in horror.

The person who was hugging Ichinose let go and walked over to Syl, comforting him. "There, there, it's okay now. The bad girl can't do anything to you."

Syl sniffled. "I'm going to be single for life."

"Mou~ Don't say that! I'll date a cutie like you anytime!" The girl comforting him said. 1

Just then she got hit on the head with a stack of papers.

"Chie, stop flirting with my students." Chabashira said in a cold voice.

"Aww. You're no fun, Sae! Just let him come to our class! Then I can date him without worries!"

Chabashira hit her again. "You can't date any students, no matter what."

Chie pouted and lowered her head. "Yes, sensei."

Chabashira grabbed her and walked away.

Chie turned around to Syl and blew him a kiss. 'Call me.' She mouthed with a wink.

Ichinose was stunned. "What just happened?"

Syl smiled as a drop of blood fell from his nose. "Hehehehe. I think she likes me." 3

Ichinose furrowed her brow. "She does that all the time."

"EH? Really? I thought I was special…" Syl mopped.

Ichinose was shocked at herself. 'Why did I just lie to him? I've never seen sensei go that far…' 3

Ichinose cleared her throat. "S-so. Why are you here?"

Syl instantly bounced back.

"Right! I wanna form an alliance!"

"Eh?" Ichinose asked.

Syl smiled and ran a circle around Ichinose. "The dream team! Class B and D taking on the world!" 1

Ichinose thought for a moment.

"Aren't our class points too close?"

Syl waved her off. "150 is a lot of points!"

Ichinose started to look at Syl skeptically. "Why do you want this?"

Syl smiled. "I see you're becoming more cautious, before you would have accepted without even asking questions, it's good. I'm proud of you." 1

Ichinose was speechless.

"Anyway! I just wanna see you reach class A, you're so close now, I just think it would be nice to see your cute smile when you're finally at the top." Syl said with a pure smile on his face. 3

Ichinose's cheeks flushed slightly red. "Umm… is that all?" She asked as she looked away.

Syl smiled. "Well, I guess it would also be nice for us to get some class points too."

Ichinose took a deep breath to calm herself down. "Then, let's get along well!"

Syl smiled. "Sure! Now I just have to ask Horikita!"

"Huh? Didn't you already ask?"

"No, I told you, I just wanted to see you in class A, it was just a whim. Anyway, smell ya later Icynose!" 2

"It's Ichinose!"

Syl laughed as he ran away. "That's what I said~!"

Syl arrived back at his class. "Horikita! I have something to tell you!"

Horikita sighed and got up to follow Syl as he had already walked away without waiting for a response.

She eventually caught up to him. "What is it now?"

Syl turned around and smiled. "We're in an alliance with Ichinose's class now. Anyway, see ya!"

Syl tried to run away but was grabbed by Horikita who had a frown on her face. "You can't just run away after saying that. What did you do this time?"

Syl laughed innocently. "Nothing! Is it a crime to want to make a cute girl's dreams come true?? You're so heartless!!!"

Horikita twisted his arms. "Answer properly."

"Ah, ah oww! What's with girls and beating me up?! Do I look like a masochist?!"

Horikita twisted harder.

"Alright! I'll answer! Just let me go!"

Horikita released him.

Syl smirked and started talking. "So, basicall-"

He suddenly sprinted past Horikita.

"Hahaha! I'm free!" He yelled as he ran off into the distance. 3

Horikita saw this and scowled. "Why do I always have to clean up after his messes?" 2

At this point Chabashira walked out from around the corner. "Because he is the most useful person in this class."

Horikita's brow furrowed further. "How long were you listening?"

Chabashira didn't respond. "You should learn how to make use of him if you want to reach class A. Much easier than using Ayanokoji." 4

Horiktia stayed silent. "Why are you telling me this? And what does that mean?"

Chabashira furrowed her brow, practically mimicking the look on Horikita's face. "Nothing. Nevermind what I just said."

She walked away leaving Horikita confused.

"Did something happen?"

Back to Syl.

He was currently sprinting away back to his room shouting. "FREEDOM!!!" 4

He ended up passing by a smug loli on a bench who looked up at him. 1

"Fufufu."

Syl heard this and paused then he shrugged and continued running.

He made it all the way home only to meet one of his classmates in the lobby.

"Yo! Hirata! Did you hear? We're teaming up with Ichinose!"

Hirata didn't respond as he waited for the elevator.

Syl walked up and put an arm on his shoulder. "What's got you feeling so down?"

Hirata looked at Syl coldly. "Don't touch me. You tore the class apart." 1

"Hmmm… when did I do that?" Syl asked as he put on hand on his chin and made a thinking pose.

"You expelled Kushida, didn't you?" Hirata said coldly.

Syl nodded. "Well… yeah. But it's not like the class is torn apart. Everyone actually bonded with the fear of expulsion and is studying harder than ever. In fact, I'd argue that it helped the class."

Hirata shook his head. "Kushida was one of us, if she isn't here, then you already tore the class apart." 1

Syl frowned. "I already told you to prepare yourself, don't go blaming me for this."

Hirata entered the elevator and tried to hit the close button before Syl could join him.

"You sacrificed your friend. You were wrong."

Syl scoffed. "Friend? That bitch?"

Hirata froze. "What?!"

Hirata looked at Syl with hatred in his eyes, but Syl just tossed his phone at Hirata.

Hirata instinctively caught it.

"Watch. And don't tell anyone else." Syl said.

Hirata hesitantly hit play on the recording.

It was the one Kushida made about her and Syl.

"She betrayed the class. Isn't that tearing the class apart? I just cut off the traitorous tumor. You should thank me." Syl said.

"Wh-what is this?"

"This is the video she spliced up to make me look bad and blackmailed me into dating her with."

Hirata looked shocked. "No, that's impossible, Kushida would never…"

Hirata's hands started shaking.

After a moment he paused. "Still! You were wrong! We could have just talked to her! You never needed to expel her! To destroy the class!"

Syl looked Hirata dead in the eyes. "You're the one that's wrong. You have no clue what I saved the class from. Do you even know what made her so dangerous?"

Hirata was starting to become livid. "No! Syl! Yo-"

Syl cut him off. "She was going to spill everyone in the class's secrets. That's how you tear a class apart. You make everyone hate each other. Having a ticking time bomb's fuse being cut isn't tearing the class apart, it's saving it."

Syl swiped left on his phone and a video appeared. "If you still think I was wrong, watch this."

It was the security footage of Kushida with a knife.

Hirata dropped the phone and took a step back, his mouth agape in terror. "W-wh-what?"

"You believe me now? Or would you like to bring that fucking nutcase back to the class and see how that goes?"

Hirata was paralyzed in shock. The elevator reached its floor and Syl got off.

"Bye."

The doors closed on Hirata who missed his floor as he was too stunned to move. He was left speechless.

Chapter 79: Chapter 79

The next day.

Kiyotaka was in the library when Chabashira called out to him.

She led him to a room.

"Visitor room?" Kiyotaka asked.

"There's someone here to see you."

She led him into the room. "I brought your son."

Then she turned and left.

"So you've arrived, Kiyotaka." Ayanokoji (Kiyotaka's father) said as he took a seat. 7

Kiyotaka didn't respond.

"You should have a seat."

"I don't plan to chat for long." Kiyotaka replied.

"Someone is dead, because of you."

"Did you think that would upset me?" 1

He ignored Kiyotaka. "Do you remember your butler? The one who helped you get into this school. Of course I had to fire him."

"So?"

"Last month he committed suicide. I wouldn't be surprised if his son was out on the streets now. This is a causation of your actions by enrolling in this school." 1

"I see."

"You don't seem very concerned about your guardian being dead."

Kiyotaka stayed silent.

"Kiyotaka, why did you enroll in this school."

"I wanted to learn more about the world outside of that room, and I have already found many answers."

"You could search forever and never find a better life than the one I set out for you. I have given you a perfect education."

"That's a false statement now."

Ayanokoji looked up. "What do you mean by that?"

"I was defeated. By another student in this school." 1

Ayanokoji adjusted his seating position. "That's impossible."

"I thought the same way." Kiyotaka replied simply.

"Then, who is this mysterious student?"

"That's none of your business."

Ayanokoji pulled out his phone.

Meanwhile, in the classroom.

"Syl, come with me." Chabashira said suddenly.

"Eh? Am I in trouble?" Syl asked. 1

Chabashira ignored him and led him down the halls.

She showed up to a room and opened the door.

Syl peek his head inside the wrong way, like Chopper. 1

His eyes widened.

Then he smiled and jumped on Kiyotaka's back. "Kiyopon~! What's up? Who's this geezer?"

Kiyotaka didn't answer Syl.

Ayanokoji narrowed his eyes. "What's your name?"

Syl smiled and went to shake his hand. "What's good old man? I'm Syl!"

Ayanokoji didn't even attempt to shake Syl's hand back. "... Syl?"

Syl smiled and nodded as he brought his hand back.

Syl walked back over to the other side of the room and dragged Kiyotaka down to sit next to him on the couch. "Stop being so stiff all the time."

Ayanokoji glared at Kiyotaka. "Are you really trying to make me believe that you lost to this?"

Kiyotaka shrugged. "It's the truth."

Syl whispered to Kiyotaka. "You know this guy?"

"He's my biological father."

"Bio-dad? Who cares about that? I never even met mine." Syl said as he put an arm around Kiyotaka and crossed his legs with his feet on the coffee table. 1

"You're quite a rude child." Ayanokoji said.

Syl smiled. "You're quite a bad father. I think it evens out." 1

Kiyotaka sighed. "You shouldn't argue with him. You'll never win."

Ayanokoji nodded. "See? Even your classmate is telling you to be obedient."

"I was talking to you. It's useless to argue with Syl." Kiyotaka corrected his father. 1

Syl looked out the window and jumped out of his seat. "Is that a butterfly?"

He walked over to the window and started looking at the bug on the other side.

"See?" Kiyotaka said.

Syl turned when he heard a voice. "What were we talking about again? Oh right! This guy was a bad father!"

Ayanokoji frowned slightly. "He's very annoying."

"Really? I think that his liveliness has a unique charm to it. It tends to bring people together and make it easy for him to make friends." Kiyotaka replied.

Ayanokoji didn't even bother responding. He pulled out a piece of paper and a pen. "Leave this school. That is an order."

Syl wiped a fake tear as he sat back down next to Kiyotaka. "What fatherly love!"

The two Ayanokoji's ignored him.

"I'm not going to leave yet." Kiyotaka stated.

"That was an order." Ayanokoji replied.

"Your orders don't apply to me outside of the white room."

Syl chuckled. "Ooh~ Mysterious name~ I wonder what shenagiangs go on there?" 1

Ayanokoji looked at Kiyotaka. "This is your last chance."

"Hey, hey~ Old man! That sounds awfully threatening. Are you sure it's a good idea to threaten my friend here in front of me?"

Ayanokoji ignored him.

Syl let a wave of haki burst out from him as his eyes glowed. 2

"I asked you a question, answer."

Ayanokoji was taken aback by the pressure he felt from this little kid in front of him.

"What happened to you?" He asked.

Syl's haki burst forth, creating a more intense pressure. The pen on the table started rattling and the papers flew into the air.

"That didn't sound like an answer, you senile fuck." Syl said irritably. 7

Kiyotaka lightly nudged Syl. "It's fine."

Syl reeled in his haki and smiled innocently. "You should be careful, old man. Karma's a bitch." 1

Ayanokoji didn't respond as a cold drop of sweat fell down his neck.

He cleared his throat. "Then, you won't listen to me?" He asked Kiyotaka.

"I'm going to stay in this school."

Suddenly a knock was heard on the door.

"Excuse me." Someone said as they walked in.

"Ayanokoji sensei. It's good to see you."

"Sakayanagi, I'm here to take my son home."

"I see, unfortunately my school has a strict policy about our students' independence. Students can only leave if they themselves wish too." He said with a smile on his face.

"He wasn't even properly admitted. I know about your test, the exams and other things aren't looked at in the slightest. You only accept students with a recommendation. Nobody recommended either of these two students, did they?" Ayanokoji replied.

"So passive aggressive! Just get to the point!" Syl mumbled.

Kiyotaka nodded in agreement.

Sakayanagi replied to Ayanokoji. "Quite perceptive of you. I was the one who admit these students myself."

"So that's why we had 41 students in our class? I was an accident?" Syl asked.

"Well, I wouldn't phrase it that way, but yes." Sakaynagi responded.

"Don't worry! I'm used to being called an accident! Children are really harsh to adoptive kids!" 3

Nobody laughed at Syl's joke. But Kiyotaka started thinking and connected a few dots.

Sakayangi smiled. "Anyways, no matter how they were admitted. They are now students of my school and the same rules apply to all students."

Ayanokoji finally relented and stood up to leave. "Good day."

Sakaganagi smiled until he left the room.

When Ayanokoji was gone he wiped his forehead with the back of his hand. "Phew, it's always so nerve racking talking to sensei."

He chuckled.

Syl nodded. "I know what you mean, I feel the same way around your daughter." 1

Kiyotaka looked confused.

Sakayanagi smiled. "He's talking about my daughter Arisu."

Kiyotaka nodded.

Syl chuckled and flopped back on the couch. "She's so smug! It makes me feel like she's reading my mind!" 3

"That's an amusing statement coming from you. You are impeccable at reading others." Sakayanagi said with a smile.

Syl chuckled and sat back up. "What do you mean? I'm just a regular kid!"

Sakayanagi had a knowing smile on his face.

Syl's eyebrow twitched. "I don't like that look. What are you hiding?" 5

Sakayanagi smiled. "Do you truly not know? It seems your friend has figured it out."

Syl looked at Kiyotaka.

Then he sighed. "Bah! Whatever, it's not important if you're not telling me."

Sakayanagi then turned to Kiyotaka. "How are you enjoying the school?"

"I've learned a lot by coming here." Kiyotaka lamented. 5

Sakayanagi laughed. "I doubt we could teach you anything with our education. Your father used to praise you all the time, stating that he was teaching you the proper way."

Kiyotaka nodded. "Is it true? What that man said about the entrance exams."

Sakayanagi smiled and nodded. "You could score a 0 or 100 on the exams and you would only be admitted if you had a recommendation first. Unfortunately I can't say anymore due to school policies, but you can be assured that this school nurtures students in the best ways possible to succeed in the real world."

Kiyotaka nodded. "I see."

Syl suddenly stood up. "No way…"

Sakayanagi turned to him with a smile. "Did you figure something out?"

Syl laughed dryly. "That's not possible, right?"

Sakayanagi smiled. "I don't think it's appropriate for you two to stay in this room anymore. If you learn too much, it would be unfair for the other students."

Syl nodded and left absentmindedly with Kiyotaka in tow.

Chabashira was anxiously waiting outside.

"How did it go?" She asked the duo.

Syl was still deep in thought.

Kiyotaka responded in place. "It was fine."

"What did your father say?"

"I know you lied. You threatened me with his name but he never contacted you." Kiyotaka replied. "You shouldn't have tried to use me, sensei."

Chabashira froze when she heard this and the duo continued walking, leaving her behind.

"That was a big mistake…" Chabashira said solemnly.

Syl returned straight to his room, skipping classes the rest of the day.

The next day Syl and Ayanokoji showed up to school like nothing had ever happened. A few people asked them what was going on but they just avoided the questions or lied to appease their curiosity.

When Syl was in class he had started noticing Kei was looking back at Ayanokoji often. Syl smiled and decided to interfere a little. 1

He gifted Ayanokoji an item. (Emotional amplification) [Romantic love]. 8

This wouldn't do anything like give people fake emotions or anything, but it could amplify what was already there. That way, Syl could give Ayanokoji a chance at finding love. 7

Syl smiled to himself and decided to forget about yesterday. It really didn't matter anyway.

After class that day a couple class A students entered the classroom.

Everyone was nervous other than Koenji who just got up and walked away.

The class A students followed him.

Syl thought this would be interesting so he followed as well.

Eventually Koenji was surrounded by a few class A students as well as Ryuuen.

At this point Sakayanagi and a few class C students showed up behind her. They walked slowly to match her pace.

Syl shrugged and followed suit.

He ran over to class C and joined in the little line they had going.

He smiled and waved at Hashimoto who was in line beside him.

Sakayanagi glanced back at him to see what he was doing and smirked.

'He looks like a dog, just like the rest of them.' She thought 2

Syl saw her smug face and couldn't help but think she was looking down on him again.

He suddenly had the urge to yell. 'I'm lord of the flies!!'...

Anyway!

Koenji didn't even look up from his mirror. "Are you here to admire my perfection as well?"

Ryuuen laughed and kicked a pebble at Koenji. "You self obsessed bastard. I have a few questions for you."

"Fufufu. You should play nice Dragon-boy. It's quite rude to kick things at others." Sakayanagi said as she stepped forward.

Syl nodded from behind her.

Umu umu. 4

Ryuuen lunged at Sakayanagi. "I don't like that name."

The class C students were a little slow to react so Syl jumped out and scoped Sakayanagi up in a princess carry before sliding on the ground behind Ryuuen as he missed.

Syl had a pure smile on his face and set Sakayanagi down. "Excuse me." He said.

She chuckled. "No worries. You saved me."

Syl chuckled. "Anything of a lady in need!" 2

He turned back to Ryuuen. "Captain! I can't believe you! Do you think Luffy would ever hit a womaaaaaa… nevermind." 3

A couple people who knew one piece chuckled.

Syl cleared his throat. "I mean! It's bad to hit women!"

"Kukukuku. I seem to recall you throwing a rock at one before."

"Nono! That was a bitch! Not a woman! Completely different!" Syl countered. 3

"Fufufu. Throwing a rock at a girl? What a scary man you are."

Syl shook his head. "Nono, we just went over this. Not a woman! A bitch! Very big difference!"

Ryuuen laughed. "Kukuku. I think women deserve equal rights… AND LEFTS!" He charged at Sakayanagi again with his hand raised in a fist. 1

Syl jumped in front of Ryuuen and 'tripped'. He fell in front of Ryuuen who tripped over him and the duo tumbled in a ball together into the tree.

Syl landed on the floor with Ryuuen on top of him face to face. 4

"Ah! A lucky pervert moment!" Hashimoto called out. 3

Syl chuckled as he pushed Ryuuen off of him.

'I had my moment with best girl!' Syl thought. 9

Chapter 81: Chapter 81

Ryuuen stood up and kicked Syl. "Dumbass."

Syl rolled into the tree again before standing up and holding his side.

At this point a few class D students had arrived. "What do you think you're doing?" Horikita asked.

Ryuuen smiled. "I'm trying to find your puppet master, Suzune."

Sudo charged at him. "Bastard!"

Sudo was stopped by Hashimoto and Kito.

Hashimoto smiled. "Relax. He's trying to get you angry."

Sudo took a moment and a deep breath. "But that bastard kicked Syl. He deserves it."

Sudo then looked at Ryuuen. "How can you kick a man when he's down?! And you call yourself a fighter! Can't you just leave him alone? His girlfriend was just expelled! He doesn't even know how to fight!" 1

Ryuuen looked at him and laughed. "KUkukukukuku." He looked a Syl.

Syl was still 'injured' and holding his side. 1

Ryuuen shook his head and laughed harder.

"What are you laughing at?!" Sudo shouted.

"I don't even know what part of that was funniest." Ryuuen replied. 1

Syl was sad Kushida was expelled? What a joke!

Syl couldn't fight? What a joke!

Syl was hurt by that kick? What a joke!

Ryuuen shook his head as he laughed at how much Syl's class underestimated him. 2

Even Sakayanagi smiled smugly. She could feel Syl's muscular frame when he picked her up and she was doubtful he was that much of a pushover. 1

He also claimed to have beat Ayanokoji in a fight. So she had reason to believe he at least knew how.

Whether she would believe that he actually beat Ayanokoji or not was another story.

Syl stood up with a strained smile. "Don't worry guys! I'm fine!"

Class D looked at Ryuuen with anger.

At this point Koenji smiled. "Fufu. I'd appreciate it if you left my hunting partner alone, Dragon boy." 2

Ryuuen's smile faded and he grabbed Koenji by the collar. "I don't appreciate it when people call me that. Unless you're asking to get fucked up?"

Koenji acted like nothing was wrong. "Let's end the farce, I have other things to do. You think I might be this X right? Well, I'm telling you now that I'm not."

"Do you have any proof?" Ishizaki asked.

"I just told you it wasn't me. There's your proof. Now let me go." Koenji said with a little force in his voice.

Ryuuen looked into his eyes for a moment before laughing.

He let go of Koenji. "Get out of here you bastard." He turned to his classmates. "It's not him."

"Then who the fuck is it?" Ibuki asked, annoyed. 1

Syl sighed. The toddler was back.

He would have been perfectly fine never seeing her again.

Ryuuen didn't even bother answering her.

"Fufu. Did you not get what you were looking for, Dragon boy?" 3

Ryuuen looked at Sakayanagi coldly.

Syl sighed. "Do you always have to be so smug and antagonizing?"

"Yes."

Syl shook his head. Thinking he would have to protect the loli again. 2

However, this time Hashimoto and Kito stepped up and put gloves on.

They got into fighting stances in front of Ryuuen.

Syl smirked. He pulled out his own glove and put them on. 2

"What do you think you're doing?" Horikita asked as she grabbed Syl by his ear and pulled him away. 1

"Owowowowow! What the fuck?! I told you I'm not a masochist!"

"You can't fight." Horikita scolded as she let him go.

"Sheesh. Fine MOM." Syl replied as he rubbed his ear. 2

"I wasn't even going to fight anyway… the gloves are just cool." Syl mumbled.

Horikita stomped on his foot.

"OW! I didn't even do anything that time!"

"That's for last time, when you ran away."

Syl held his foot in pain. "Damn witch."

Sakayanagi watched this with amusement before eventually turning her attention back to the stand off of class A and C.

Just then Ichinose showed up. "Hey! What's everyone doing?"

Everyone groaned and started walking away. The snitch was here! 6

"Fufufu. You have an amazing talent." Sakayanagi said.

"Thanks!" Ichinose responded happily.

"She wasn't complimenting you!" Syl called out.

"What? Really?"

"You're free to take it as you wish." Sakayanagi replied.

"Then I'll take it as a compliment!" Ichinose said happily.

Syl and a few others face palmed. 1

Eventually everyone dispersed as the quarrel had died down the moment Ichinose showed up. It just got kind of boring.

Syl went home too.

These days Syl was being cautious and taking note of where Kei was at all times.

He wasn't doing it to be a creep or anything! It was for her own safety!

Syl was extremely alert about Ryuuen's movements as well.

He had no problems keeping tabs on both people.

Eventually, the fateful day came.

Kei was lured out to a rooftop.

Syl sent a text.

[Get your ass over here. Now. Don't delay.]

Then he looked around to make sure nobody was around before jumping up the side of the building and landing on the roof.

He landed on top of the door to the stairs and sat on the flat concrete mini roof.

A few minutes later a few people walked out.

Syl activated his stealth.

They were half dragging Kei by her hair.

Ryuuen smiled and spread his arms.

"Kukukuku. So you're X's partner! Why don't you tell me who X is?"

Kei shook her head. "I don't know anything."

Ryuuen smiled evilly. "Hold her down. Ishizaki, get the buckets."

Ishizaki obeyed and went down the stairs to fetch the water.

"W-what are you going to do?" Kei asked in fear.

"Kukuku. I heard you used to be bullied. You're going to relive some of your memories."

Kei's eyes widened in horror.

Just then Ishizaki returned.

"N-no-no. P-p-p-please."

Ishizaki looked over to Ryuuen with the bucket of water raised high.

Ryuuen nodded.

Ishizaki started tilting the bucket down.

Chapter 82: Chapter 82

Just then a rock came flying out of nowhere and hit the bucket. Tipping it back the other way and spilling its contents on Ishizaki.

He jumped back and leaned forward like he was trying to avoid the water that was already on him.

Syl was sitting down with his legs dangling above the door frame and tossing another rock in his hand.

He didn't say anything.

"S-syl!" Kei cried out hopefully.

Ryuuen scowled. "Is it really you? I thought you were innocent."

"I am." Syl replied simply.

Ryuuen paused for a moment. "Ibuki, you're up."

Ibuki who was holding Kei, started to shift positions to attack.

Syl hopped off the roof and ran at her with impressive speed.

Ryuuen tried to stand in his way but Syl easily dodged and ran past him.

He made it to Ibuki just before she could attack Kei.

He kicked the back of her knees and spun.

When she fell forward Syl met her stomach with the heel of his right foot with a hard roundhouse kick.

Ibuki hunched forward and spit out violently as her body was lifted off the ground.

She flew through the air and landed right next to the door. 2

Syl looked at the person standing beside her. "You're late."

Ayanokoji nodded. "I came as soon as I got your text, it's a long way away from the dorms."

Syl smiled. "Welp, I got what I wanted out of this."

"What's that?" Ryuuen asked.

Syl smiled. "I wanted to kick the toddler. I've been waiting for this moment since the island test." 1

"Kukuku. What happened to not hitting women?"

"Nono! That's a toddler! Not a woman! Big difference!" 1

Ryuuen shook his head. "Bacon shmacon." 1

Syl gasped. "That's my thing!! You stole my thing! You can't do that! Give it back! Are you going to start wearing pink bunny slippers next?! You monster!" 1

Syl then noticed that Ayanokoji was currently wearing his slippers. His red bunny slippers. He had to rush out of his room so he never changed. 1

Syl gasped then he furiously looked over to Albert who was wearing his purple bunny slippers.

Syl laughed maniacally.

He pretended to reach into his bag but actually took something out of his system space.

He threw a green pair at Ryuuen and a black pair at Ishizaki. Then he handed Kei beside him a yellow pair that matched her hair colour.

Syl clapped happily. "Alright! Everyone put them on!"

Everyone ended up going with the flow and putting them on. 2

Syl smiled, he took off his blazer and put it on the floor for her to sit on and sat down next to Kei on the floor. He took out a bowl of popcorn he made and gave a smaller one to Kei. 2

"Now, we can finally get started."

Ryuuen looked at him and laughed. "Kukuku. It's four on two. Isn't this too easy?"

Syl nodded. "Way too easy. That's why I'm sitting out."

"Eh?" Kei asked from beside him as she ate some popcorn.

"What?" Ryuuen asked, angrily.

Syl pointed at Ayanokoji. "Ask Kiyopon. You guys are fucked." He threw a large handful of popcorn in his mouth.

Ayanokoji stood still as the wind blew his hair. He loosened his tie and rolled up his sleeves.

Kei gulped from beside Syl. 1

Syl chuckled. "Like what you see?"

Kei blushed and shook her head. "N-no way."

Syl laughed. "Someone's got a crush~ someone's got a crush~!" 2

Kei kicked him in the shins. "Shut up!" Then she muttered. "He'll hear you."

Syl grabbed his shin in pain. "I swear I'm not a masochist! Why do girls always do this?"

Ryuuen and Ayanokoji ignored the duo.

"What do you think you're going to do alone?" Ryuuen asked.

"You're mistaken. You didn't orchestrate this situation, Ryuuen. I was the one who made you come here tonight."

Ryuuen paused. "So, what you're saying is… you came alone knowing you would face four of us? Kukukukuku. What kind of psychopath are you? Did you think I'd just let you go because you beg for your life? I don't show mercy to weaklings like that!"

"You're wrong again. I came here because four of you isn't enough to beat me."

"What?"

Ayanokoji took a step forward. "You should have brought more pawns, Ryuuen."

Ishizaki charged at Ayanokoji who simply side stepped and grabbed his body, kneeing him in the chest and tossing him away.

[Sorry.] Albert said as he lunged at Ayanokoji and punched. 1

[It's alright.] Ayanokoji responded as he blocked and countered his punch before unleashing a flurry of his own punches that Albert couldn't block.

[You were never a threat anyway.] He said emotionlessly. 3

Albert fell to the floor as his consciousness faded.

Syl had a giddy smile on his face. "That was fucking badass!"

"... and hot…" Kei mumbled.

Syl smiled and nudged her. "No cheating. Nobody likes a cheater, I was even loyal to that bitch of a fake girlfriend Kushida, so you better not do Hirata dirty." 4

Kei nodded.

Syl then ate another handful of popcorn and started walking over to Albert while still chewing.

Suddenly Ibuki attacked him. "You bastard! That was a sneak attack."

"It's not like it would have mattered either way." Syl responded with a mouthful.

"What?! Why?" Ibuki asked as she kicked.

Syl backhanded her foot before slapping her in the face without even looking in her direction.

"Zhatz whigh" He said as he fished a piece of popcorn out of his gum with his other hand.

Syl ignored Ibuki and continued to Albert.

Suddenly an attack came at him from behind. " HOW DARE YOU!"

Syl didn't even bother responding as he spun and kicked her in the face. She ragdolled mid air and hit the ground already unconscious. "Phew. Much better, peace and quiet." 1

Then he looked over at Ayanokoji. "My bad Kiyopon~ I didn't mean to kill steal, but she was asking for it."

Ayanokoji didn't bother responding as he punched Ishizaki in the face and dodged Ryuuen's right hook before jabbing him in the gut.

Syl bent over Albert and checked on his injuries making sure he was fine. He even gave him a band aid for his cheek with a little Canadian flag on it.

When he was sure he was fine he walked back over to Kei and started eating more popcorn with her.

"What did I miss?"

"Ayanokoji is beating them relentlessly."

Syl nodded. "Sounds about right."

He turned back in and watched as Ayanokoji completely folded Ishizaki, knocking him out, just like he did to Albert.

Then, it was only the two main players left. Ryuuen and Ayanokoji. 1

Ryuuen started laughing. "You're the real deal. You really are X."

Ayanokoji nodded. "I told you I was."

Ryuuen smiled. "And you live up to your reputation. However, you can never beat me."

"I fail to see how that's a possibility." Ayanokoji responded.

"Kukuku. Because I've never felt fear before. I'll keep coming back, over and over, no matter how many times you think you've beat me, I'll always come crawling back to challenge you again."

"Interesting. So you haven't felt fear… I used to be the same."

"Trying to act tough now?"

Ayanokoji shook his head. "No. I just found it interesting how things have changed."

He glanced at Syl.

Ryuuen didn't notice.

Ryuuen smiled. "Then what made you change?"

"An insurmountable wall."

"Kukuku. I don't believe those exist."

"Then, would you like me to prove it to you?"

"Kukukukukuku. Good, good. This is good! Let's do this! Fight me more! Show me more!"

Ryuuen charged in.

Ayanokoji easily dodged, blocked or countered everything he threw.

Ryuuen was slowly losing with each and every exchanged.

Ayanokoji was bouncing on the balls of his feet like a boxer.

Ryuuen made a big right hook and Ayanokoji ducked under it before coming up and meeting Ryuuen's face with his knuckles.

Ryuuen stumbled backwards and spit up blood.

He regained his balance and smiled.

Ayanokoji wasn't even sweating.

The two met up for another exchange and Ryuuen threw the empty bucket at Ayanokoji.

Ayanokoji blocked it with his wrist and dodged the hidden punch from Ryuuen before smacking his second punch to the side and grabbing the back of his head with his other hand and pushing it into his knee.

Ryuuen stumbled backwards again after getting kneed in the face.

Kei clapped and cheered. "That's the one you did!"

Syl nodded and laughed. "He's stealing my moves already. They grow up so fast." 1

Kei giggled.

The two continued watching the fight and bantering with each other.

A few seconds later, Ayanokoji knocked Ryuuen to the floor.

He mounted him and punched him once.

Then Syl started chanting. "Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Ki- OWW!" 2

Kei kicked him in the shin again.

"Bad doggie!" She reprimanded.

"It's not my fault your boy toy is being stolen away. OW!" Syl hissed.

Kei kicked his other shin.

"Bad bad doggie! Shush! No whining!"

Syl curled up and a ball and sat on his tailbone.

"How cruel! Why are all women so evil?!"

Kei side eyed him and wound up another kick.

Syl quickly shut his mouth. 1

Kei smiled and sat back down.

Back at the fight.

Ayanokoji was pounding Ryuuen. (With his fists. Nothing else.) 9

Ryuuen's smiling face was starting to change. 1

"Show me your emotion! What are you feeling? Anger? Happiness? Resentment?"

Ayanokoji paused with his fist in the air.

"Neither." 1

He brought his fist down on Ryuuen's cheek again.

"Tell me what it is then!" Ryuuen yelled.

"Nothing."

"What?"

"A mundane and simple task such as this could never invoke emotion." Ayanokoji punched Ryuuen again.

Ryuuen's face started contorting. "Huh?"

"Do you not understand? When brush your teeth in the morning do you feel anything? When you wash your hands?"

He punched again.

"When doing simple and easy tasks, the brain doesn't receive any stimulants, it's boring."

He punched again.

"To me. This is boring."

Ryuuen started to look scared. "W-what."

"You're boring, Ryuuen."

He punched again.

"Y-you're insane!" Ryuuen called out with fear.

"Exactly."

Ayanokoji brought his fist down with enough force to knock him out.

Ryuuen's horrified face was immortalized as he was unconscious. 4

Ayanokoji stood up.

"Booo! No kiss! We wanted a kiss!"

Syl jumped over the incoming kick from Kei. "Ha! I saw it coming!"

"Damn dog's learning." Kei muttered.

Syl smiled. "I know! I'm so smart!"

Kei suddenly flicked him in the forehead. "Ow!"

Kei smiled. "You didn't see that coming, did you? Stupid~" She spat her tounge out mockingly.

Syl grumbled. "Damn witches. They're everywhere you go."

Ayanokoji sighed. "Are we done here?"

Syl nodded. "Yup! Let's go!"

The trio walked off together.

On their way out they passed Manabu and Chabashira.

Syl smiled. "How's my favourite prez doing?"

Manabu nodded. "I need someone to stop Nagumo."

Syl chuckled. "Well, maybe. That could be a fun side quest." 1

Chabashira was shocked. "Did you just call the student council president a side quest?"

Syl nodded. "Don't you agree, Kiyopon? I'd kick his ass in 2 seconds, it wouldn't be much of a fight."

Ayanokoji and Manabu both nodded.

"He's not very strong." Ayanokoji said.

"He never practiced martial arts." Manabu said.

Chabashira sighed. "You three are monsters. No one else would think that way."

Syl chuckled. "That's what makes us such a great trio!" Then Syl gasped. "WE GOTTA DO SOMETHING TOGETHER AS A TRIO!!" 6

Ayanokoji and Manabu looked at one another. "Well, it would be fun. Maybe we could stop Nagumo." Manabu said.

Ayanokoji nodded. "Could be interesting."

Syl smiled. "Ya! Just like when we expelled Kushida together! But this time with that ice queen's precious brother too! I'm getting excited just thinking about it! We totally have to do it!"

Kei pouted. "I helped with Kushida too."

Syl nodded. "Yes, yes, you were a good doggie who followed orders."

Kei snorted and kicked at Syl's shin, but he dodged again.

"I'm not falling for that again!" Syl called out triumphantly.

"W-wh-what's that?" Kei asked in fear.

"Eh? What?" Syl turned his head,

"OWWWW! FUCK!" Syl screamed as Kei kicked him in the shin full power. 1

Kei giggled. "Oldest trick in the book."

Syl was writhing on the floor in pain. "You two see this right? This has to be against the rules!!!"

Manabu pretended to clean his glasses. "I can't see well without my glasses." 1

Chabashira turned and faced the other way. "See what?" She asked.

"You're evil! Horrible! How could you give such preferential treatment! I demand equal rights!"

Kei laughed at him before walking away. Chabashira followed suit.

Syl got up and dusted off his uniform. "So? You guys really want to do this? The three of us are a dream team. I couldn't hand pick a better trio." 1

Manabu pushed up his glasses. "We'll see what opportunities present themselves. If the situation allows for it… I'd be happy to oblige."

Syl smiled. "You're excited too, eh?" Then he looked at Ayanokoji. "You in too?"

Ayanokoji thought about it seriously for a moment. "If I can stay in the shadows, it's worth considering." 1

Syl smiled. He wrapped an arm around each of their necks.

"This is gonna be interesting." 2

A while later.

Christmas was approaching.

Syl went out shopping. He was buying gifts.

He ended up spending over 100,000 points on gifts for various people.

Syl returned home carrying multiple huge bags filled with gifts.

Over the next few days he was going around handing out gifts to tons of people. Anyone he was friends with got one. He even gave some out to the other grades.

Obviously Syl wasn't expecting anything in return but a few people gave him something.

Syl finally made his way back home on the 24th after giving out his last gift.

He entered and looked over at his tree which had 2 gifts under it.

Syl smiled sadly.

The next morning.

Syl woke up and left his pajamas (Pink bunny suit) on.

He got out of his bedroom and went to his living room with a christmas tree in it.

He sat down in front of the two leftover gifts. "Merry christmas. I miss you guys."

Syl opened the two gifts and revealed a his/hers set of slippers and onesies in red and green.

They matched the clothes he was wearing.

Syl grabbed a cup of hot chocolate he had made himself and took a sip.

He looked at a message he received on his phone and smirked for a second.

Syl sat in silence for a short time.

Eventually, a small droplet of water fell into the mug.

Syl sniffled. 1

That day, a few more droplets fell into his mug before he finished it. 5

After a while Syl got up and had a shower.

When he returned he had a goofy grin on his face as he had returned to normal. 2

He left his room and walked around school.

He went to the mall after killing a bit of time.

Syl was wearing a pink hoodie with black jeans that had pink details. He had a black and pink hat on under his hood and a pair of high top running shoes. 6

When he got near the entrance he saw someone sitting on a bench.

She was wearing skin tight black leather pants and cream/white boots with a cream tank wool tank top under a white trench coat that didn't cover her front, leaving part of her well toned and slim torso visible. She also had a patterned scarf and a purse over her shoulder. 1

She took a sip from her iced coffee.

Syl gulped at the sight.

He checked his phone again for the message he got earlier.

[Meet me at Keyaki mall in 2 hours, you're paying off part of your bet.]

Syl turned off his phone and tossed it in the air before putting it away and approaching the beautiful woman in front of him.

"What's a place like you doing in a girl like this?" Syl asked.

"Just waiting for my entertainment."

Syl chuckled and bowed. "I'll be here all day."

"Fufu. Good."

Syl stood back up and offered a hand to help her up.

"Then, shall we be on our way, Kiryuin?" 2

She used his hand to stand up. "I never expected you to have decent manners."

Syl chuckled. "I need to make my parents proud, it's my first date after all."

"Fufufu. Then what were you doing for a month with that girl?"

Syl shrugged. "That was more like walking a dog. I had to lead her by her leash to kick her out."

"Then, you're happy she's gone?"

Syl smiled. "Ecstatic."

Kiryuin smiled.

She grabbed onto Syl's hand. "Good."

Syl was a little shocked but played it off. "So, what wondrous adventure shall we be enjoying today?"

Kiryuin hummed in contemplation. "Surprise me. You're my entertainment after all."

Syl smiled. "How does brunch sound?"

"Lovely."

Syl smiled and led her by her hand through the busy mall.

He looked back every few seconds with a smile as they continued chatting.

Eventually they arrived at the best cafe in the mall, but the line was massive.

It was obviously packed on christmas day.

Syl looked back at his date then to the line and nodded. "This is a problem. Wait here."

Syl left Kiryuin alone for a moment as he ran to the front of the line.

He came back 30 seconds later.

"Let's go." He grabbed her hand again and brought her away.

"What are you doing? Are we going somewhere else?"

Syl smiled and didn't respond.

When they reached the front of the line the person working there smiled. "Welcome, dear patrons. Please enjoy your meal."

"They happened to have an empty table." Syl said as he winked at the worker.

The worker smiled and nodded. "For such a beautiful companion, you must be one lucky man."

Syl laughed. "Right?"

Kiryuin chuckled and allowed herself to be whisked away.

The duo made it to an empty table and Syl pulled out Kiryuin's chair.

She set her purse down and removed her scarf and coat before sitting down, revealing the vanilla perfume she was wearing.

Syl smiled when the scent hit his nose, he loved the smell. 2

Once Kiryuin was seated, Syl made his way to the other side of the table and took his seat.

He had actually picked up a lot of tricks while 'dating' Kushida for over a month. He had probably been on 20 dates with her and she was very demanding of him sometimes.

He was also good at picking up social cues when important and learning from experience. Now that he had something to reference when going on a real date, he was much better than any other man would be on his first ever real date.

Syl read the menu.

"What do you fancy?" He asked Kiryuin.

"I'll have a scone and another iced coffee." 1

Syl nodded and set down his menu.

"First of all, Merry christmas. Are you doing anything to celebrate?"

Kiryuin smirked. "Why do you think I'm here?"

Syl chucked. "It's an honor to be considered a celebration."

"It should be, not just anyone receives the honor of keeping me company."

Syl chuckled. "True, I would never take you for the kind to celebrate the holidays. I feel like your the kind of person who takes a day off whenever you want."

"Of course, why should I work when I don't want to. It's a preposterous idea."

Syl smirked. "I like your scarf by the way."

"Fufufu. It would be a problem if you didn't, considering it was your gift."

"Well, true, but I really think it suits you. It makes your eyes pop. I think it's lovely." 6

Kiryuin leaned slightly forward. "You have a silver tongue today."

Syl waved her off. "Bah! Nonsense, I'm always a gentleman."

She smiled. "There's the mosquito I know."

"Mosquitoes? Where? I'm lord of the flies!" 1

Kiryuin leaned forward and rested her head on her hand with her elbow on the table.

She reached her other hand forward and poked Syl in the nose. "You're whatever I say you are." 4

Syl started, starstruck, then he gulped. "S-sure…"

"Fufufufufufu."

Syl smiled when he heard her laughter.

Chapter 85: Chapter 85

Just then the waiter showed up. "What will you be having today?"

Syl spoke up. "I'll have a caramel frappuccino with whipped cream and sprinkles and she'll have an iced coffee with a scone. Unless she's changed her mind."

Syl looked over at Kiryuin to confirm.

She nodded and the waiter walked away.

"Fufu. What a gentleman."

Syl smiled. "As I said, I need to make my parents proud somehow."

"Are they not already proud? You're quite a good student."

Syl looked at the sky and smiled. "I have no clue."

He returned his gaze to her with a sad look in his eyes.

She reached out across the table and covered his hand with her own. "I'm sure you've made them ecstatic. The same way my parents feel about me."

Syl chuckled and wiped his right eye. "That's some crazy high praise coming from you."

Kiryuin smiled kindly. "Who wouldn't be proud of the lord of the flies."

Syl smiled slightly. "Thanks."

The waiter returned with their orders.

Syl took a sip of his drink and smiled.

"How is it?"

"Good. Want a sip?"

Syl nodded and took a sip. He didn't even freak out over the indirect kiss!

What a chad! 1

Well in Canada it's not really a big deal… 3

Anyway!

The two ate and held conversation for about an hour before deciding to finally move on.

Kiryuin got ready to pay for her food but Syl stopped her.

"It's on me."

He paid for both of their food and drinks and the two made their way out of the cafe.

They walked side by side through the mall when eventually Syl spotted someone.

"Kiyopon~!" Syl called out as he jumped on Ayanokoji's shoulders. 2

Sato, who was beside him, was shocked and a little angry.

"Fufu. How energetic." Kiryuin walked over to the group.

"Can you get off?" Ayanokoji asked.

Syl chuckled and changed targets.

"Hirata! I choose you!" He said as he landed on his back. 1

Hirata being the good guy he was caught Syl.

"Hey Syl. What are you doing here?"

Syl pointed at Kiryuin. "She dragged me out."

Kiryuin smiled. "Are you this guy's friends?"

The group nodded. "And you are?" Kei asked.

"Fufu. Just a wandering beauty."

Syl sighed. "She's the one who gave us the mid term test answers in term one."

Sato's eyes lit up. "That was you? You like totally saved me there! Thanks a lot!"

"It's only natural. You did get the best notes after all."

"Uhh… yeah." Sato responded, not sure what to say.

Syl chuckled and walked back over to Kiryuin's side. "So, are you guys on a double date?"

Sato blushed and Kei looked angry. Syl laughed at the reactions.

He pulled out his phone and sent Kei a text. [Someone's got a crush~! I can't believe you would let Sato date Kiyopon.]

Kei tried to kick Syl in the shin but was stopped by Kiryuin.

She smiled at Kei and gave her a look almost like she was saying. 'Hands off' 1

Kei sighed and pouted, still upset she had to watch her best friend on a date with the guy she likes.

Syl clapped his hands. "Why don't we make this a triple date? Are you alright with that?" 1

Kiryuin looked slightly adverse, but eventually nodded. All the class D students were fine with it.

So, the six of them went off together to the movies.

Syl sat next to Kiryuin and lifted the armrest in between them.

Halfway through the movie she leaned in towards Syl and he warped his arm around her shoulder. 6

They cuddled together until the movie ended.

Funnily enough out of the three couples they were the only ones even touching each other…

Anyway.

The movie eventually ended and the couples all left the theater together.

"What did you guys think?" Hirata asked.

Syl yawned. "Honestly? No clue what happened."

"Eh? Did you not watch the movie?" Kei asked.

Syl shook his head. "Not really."

"Fufufufu."

"What does that mean?" Kei asked.

"Oh how pure! How naive! She doesn't understand the immensity of heaven and earth!" 1

Kiryuin smirked.

Kei frowned. "What's that mean?"

Syl chuckled mysteriously. "You'll learn one day junior."

"I'm older than you!"

Syl stroked his beard. "A child who has yet to peek at Mt. Tai has no right to comment on my age. Train for 100 more years before challenging me again." 8

"What does that even mean?!?!"

"Hohohoho." Syl laughed. 1

Kei just sighed and gave up. There was no arguing with Syl when he's like this. You will never win.

Syl looked at a clock. "It's getting kind of late, shall we all part ways?"

Sato instantly agreed. "Good idea!"

Kei looked annoyed. "I think we could stay a little lon-"

"Great! I'll see you guys soon!" Syl cut her off.

He waved at his friends as he walked away with Kiryuin, linking arms.

"So, how was your day?" Syl asked as they walked down a snowy path by the benches.

"Fufu. It's been very entertaining."

Syl smiled. "I'm glad. I had a good time too. It was great to get my mind off some things and get out today."

"It goes without saying that you would have a good time, after all, you spent today with me."

Syl chuckled. "Yeah, I guess you're right."

Eventually the two reached Kiryuin's dorm.

Syl released her arm.

"Then, I'll see you around." Syl said.

"Yes, you will." Kiryuin said as she turned and walked away, purposefully swaying her hips. 2

Syl gulped at the view.

Kiryuin turned around with a smile on her face and winked. "Let's do this again, you do own me one more day's worth of entertainment after all."

Syl smiled and nodded. "I can't wait." 2

Chapter 86: Chapter 86

Syl got a text. 1

He got out of bed and walked out of the dorms in his pink bunny slippers, onesie, and night vision sunglasses.

It was already dark out and he was playing with a lanyard he found earlier that week with his keys on it.

He was spinning them around his fingers and whistling.

He was also shimmying side to side to the beat.

He eventually approached two familiar people but decided to mind his own business.

He looked to the sky and watched the snow fall for a moment.

Syl held his hand out in front of him and caught a few snowflakes.

He looked at them and compared each of them, noting how different each ones patterns were.

"They're much more beautiful when you can see their intricacies."

Syl smiled and bent over, picking up a pile of snow in his hand and rounding it out.

"I haven't done this in a while." Syl muttered as he finished off the snowball.

He tossed it up and then had a thought.

He threw the snowball at the duo he saw earlier.

It hit one of them in the face, the exact moment they came to a realization, almost like the snowball awakened the feelings inside them.

Syl chuckled. "I'm practically cupid."

Kei, who was hit by the snowball, frantically looked around and eventually noticed Syl.

"You little shit!!!" She yelled out as she picked up a chunk of snow.

Syl pointed at her and laughed.

Kei gumbled something before handing the snowball to Ayanokoji.

"Kiyotaka! Get him!" 2

Ayanokoji held the snowball in his hand for a moment before throwing it in Syl's direction.

Syl wasn't paying attention as he was too busy laughing at the fact that Kei's realization of her love for Ayanokoji was now forever synonymous with her getting hit in the face with a snowball. 2

The snowball hit Syl right in the neck and snow and water ran down his chest underneath his onesie.

"Cold!" Syl frantically tried everything he could to get the snow out of his bunny suit. 1

Eventually he gave up but looked at the duo with a murderous glare.

"This is my favourite onesie. You shall pay!"

He pick up two more snowballs and threw one at Ayanokoji's face.

Ayanokoji dodged but Syl ran at him and jumped on his back with another snowball in hand and a crazed smile on his face.

"You fucked up, Kiyopon." Syl said as he stuffed the snowball down the back of Ayanokoji's shirt.

Ayanokoji tried to resist and keep himself dry but Syl wouldn't let him.

Once Syl got the snow down his back he jumped off his back. "Don't think I forgot about you, witch."

Syl picked up another snowball and ran at Kei.

She flinched and covered her face with her hands as she turned her head away.

Syl did a frontflip over her and landed behind her.

He tapped her on her shoulder.

"Eh?" Kei said as she turned around. Confused as to who could be behind her.

Syl was holding his hand up and shoved the snowball right into her face before smearing it around.

"Bad doggie." He said simply.

Kei frantically wiped the snow off her face. "So cold."

Then she bent over and picked up another snowball.

Ayanokoji also had two in his hands.

Syl saw this and started sweating, slowly backing away. "Let's all be civil here." 1

Kei smirked. "No." She tossed her snowball at Syl.

Syl tried to dodge but another snowball flying at a much faster speed hit him in the face.

Syl flopped to the ground like he had been shot.

"Not my beautiful face!" He cried out.

Ayanokoji and Kei didn't listen as they both reloaded and threw more snowballs at Syl.

Syl rolled on the ground to avoid them and ran away, taking cover behind a tree.

He picked up a bunch of snow from the ground and started making 10 snowballs rapidly.

He picked up two of them and peeked around the tree, only to see that Kei and Ayanokoji had disappeared from sight.

He narrowed his eyes and looked around, seeing a shadow move from behind a tree.

Syl instantly pelted the tree trunk with a snowball.

Kei, thinking it was safe, came out from behind the tree with a snowball in hand ready to fire.

Only to be hit in the face before she even knew what was happening. 1

"Kyaa!" She dropped her own snowball and fell to the ground on her butt.

Syl chuckled. "Read like a book."

Suddenly he felt a cold sensation on the back of his neck.

"Played like a fiddle." Ayanokoji muttered from behind him. 2

Syl shrugged his shoulders backwards and brought his head down. "Ahh. C-cold."

Ayanokoji picked up some more snowballs from Syl's stack and started throwing them at his back as he ran away again.

Syl ran over to Kei. "Can you believe he would use you like that?"

Kei pouted. "Isn't he so mean?"

Syl looked at her and smiled. She smiled back.

They both picked up snowballs at the same time, but instead of throwing them at each other, they turned around.

"You shouldn't have abandoned your partner." Syl said as the two both started throwing snowballs at Ayanokoji.

He ran away behind a tree after getting hit once or twice.

Syl and Kei both picked up snowballs and flanked from both sides. A pincer attack!

Ayanokoji decided to ignore Kei as she was less of a threat and focused on Syl. They both traded attacks and each of them got hit.

Syl smiled as he pointed behind Ayanokoji.

Kei was standing a few feet away with an open shot.

Kei smiled and threw the snowball.

It sailed over Ayanokoji's shoulder and hit an unsuspecting Syl in the face. 1

"EH?" Syl said as he wiped his face.

"You can't aim for shit!" He called out.

Kei giggled and did a little celebratory dance. "Hahaha! Got you!"

Syl's jaw dropped. "Y-you-you-y-you witch!"

Kei pulled down on her eyelid and stuck out her tongue. "Blehh!"

Syl paused for a moment before bursting into laughter.

Kei joined him and even Ayanokoji smirked.

Syl froze when he saw this.

"Did you write it down?" He asked seriously.

Kei nodded.

"What?" Ayanokoji asked.

"The date! It's the first time you've ever smiled!" Kei called out happily.

'I made him smile!' She thought.

Syl laughed. "I finally made you smile."

Kei glared daggers at him. "No! I did!"

"Wha- you're delusional!" Syl replied.

"Am not!"

"Are too!"

"Am not!" She yelled as she hit him in the face with another snowball.

Syl froze and picked one up.

He ran after her chasing her around with a snowball in hand.

"I'll get you, you damn dog!"

The two ran around having another snowball fight as Ayanokoji watched from the sidelines, a faint smile on his lips that nobody saw, not even Ayanokoji realized it was there. 2

Eventually Kei called on him for support as she was losing.

Ayanokoji sighed and joined back in, coming to her rescue.

The trio played around for a while longer.

Eventually they all sat down together on a bench laughing and having a good time.

At this point someone came out of the shadows. "Are you here for a reason?"

Ayanokoji looked back. "Yes, I'm here to meet someone, is that you?"

Kiriyama sighed and nodded. "I can't believe Horikita-senpai sent someone so unreliable. What were you three even doing?"

Syl leaned his head backwards over the bench and looked at Kiriyama upside down. "Having fun, you should try it sometime."

Kiriyama ignored Syl. "You're Ayanokoji, right? Why are two others here?"

"These are my paw- my partners." 1

Syl nearly stood up and smacked him.

'Who's your pawn!?'

Kei was blissfully unaware.

"How confident are you?"

"I'm not sure, but I'll see what I can do."

Kiriyama frowned. "This is hopeless, I'm leaving."

"Running away again?" Syl asked as he was still looking at him upside down.

Kiriyama paused as he was turning around. "What?"

"Is someone scared of little old Nagumo?" Syl mocked.

Kiriyama walked over staring at Syl face awkwardly as he was the wrong way.

"What does a first year like you know? What can you do against Nagumo?"

"Create an opposing faction, a union, or something like that? It's pretty fucking simple. Everyone hates the bastard, so take leadership of them by promising his downfall, deal with the aftermath later. At least then you have a chance of making it to class A. Well, more like class D doesn't really have a chance."

Kiriyama scowled. "You think I haven't thought of that? It would never work."

"Really? It's pretty simple. You can also get other people on your side by becoming student council president and making it easier to transfer classes."

"Then Nagumo would just promise the same and everyone would go after me."

Syl shrugged. "Don't know till you try. Also, you could just beat Nagumo and prove you're better in the first place, then you wouldn't have to do any of this."

Kei was suppressing a laugh, she didn't 100% know what was going on, but it was funny to see this guy get belittled by Syl.

Ayanokoji was analyzing Kiriyama's responses and the entire conversation, looking for new information and anything else he could get.

"You don't understand how strong Nagumo is. Or how many people follow him."

"Then tell me." Syl replied.

"... No. you're not trustworthy, Horikita senpai must be really desperate if he called on someone like you. This is never going to work, I shouldn't have come here."

Syl clicked his tongue and stayed quiet.

Ayanokoji spoke up. "Would you at least give me a chance?"

Kiriyama sighed. "One chance, if you fail to prove yourself worthy, I will stop contacting you."

Kiriyama walked away.

"He didn't seem that bad." Kei said.

"He's a pussy."

"He's untrustworthy."

Syl and Ayanokoji said at the same time.

"Eh?"

"He's going to follow Nagumo. He'll pussy out and become a pawn in the end." Syl clarified.

Ayanokoji nodded. "Untrustworthy."

"O-oh Haha. Yeah, I thought so too." Kei said awkwardly.

Syl smiled and brought his head back up. He ruffled Kei's hair. "Don't worry, we don't expect dog's to think well." 1

Kei smacked his hand away and pouted angrily. "Kiyotaka! He's bullying me again! Get him!"

Ayanokoji sighed. "Please stop, Syl."

Syl chuckled. "I wonder who the dog is now?"

Ayanokoji was stunned. "..."

Syl laughed and ran away. "You're both doggies now!"

Ayanokoji thought for a moment before sighing again.

Kei smirked and felt proud of herself for making Ayanokoji her dog. 4

Syl laughed as he finally got home.

"It was a fun christmas."

Syl checked his balance and his eyes popped out of his sockets. "Where did my 250,000 points go?!!?"

Then Syl remembered back to earlier today.

He had to bribe the waiter 200,000 points to let him in the restaurant with Kiryuin, and he also paid 50,000 points for various things today. Including an extra gift he got her.

Syl sighed. He was such a great gentleman!

He was astounded at his own greatness.

He went over his date today.

"It was really fun, but…" Syl had something on his mind. "Well, we'll see."

He shrugged and got changed into a spare pink bunny suit he had lying around.

He obviously had multiple. He had 8. One a day and a spare that he cycled through every week.

He then tucked himself into bed with a cozy smile on his face.

"Goodnight."

Chapter 88: Chapter 88

A week or so later.

School was finally back and break was over.

Syl rolled out of bed.

[Host has received 6 spins for 600 class points this month.]

"Spinssss." Syl said lazily.

[Ding! Host has received. (Alchemy) [Alphonse Elric] x1, (Cool hat) x1, (Medical knowledge) [Stephen Strange] x1, (Duplicates) x3] 5

Syl yawned. "More."

[You don't have anymore spins.]

"I don't care. More."

[You don't have anymore spins.]

Syl sighed. "But I have money."

[Host agreed not to spend points on spins unless it was urgent.]

Syl's eyebrow twitched. "That was so long ago! Who cares anymore?! I'm rich! Give me MORE!"

[No, this is for your own good.]

"Fucking self righious, wife having, 'I'm doing this for you host', ugly ass bastard."

[That's hurtful, I'm really only trying to help…] 1

" SHUT UP!" Syl slammed the door and he walked away.

[Haaa… why does he hate me so much?]

"You're a shitty system!!!!"

[... I'm the best system though… If he had any other system… he would have been expelled by now.]

Syl nearly threw his tooth brush through his wall to hit Sys, but he had no body to hit, so Syl refrained.

Syl smirked. "Finally, this world recognizes my impressive title…." Syl turned around and posed. " THEY FINALLY CALL ME BY MY TRUE NAME!" He stuck another pose on his knee. " I'M LORD OF THE FLIES!!!!!" 1

[I'm happy for you host.]

"As you should be! I'm amazing! Right, Sys?"

[Yes host.]

Syl smiled and giggled. "You're the best! I love you, Sys!"

[Umu, finally being recognized for my hard work.] 3

Syl laughed and ran to school, he even forgot to put his nail polish on!

What a blunder!

What an Idiot!

Syl made it to class and Chabashira explained a new special exam that was going on.

Syl yawned and hardly paid attention.

Basically, you form groups, if your group does well, good things happen, if your group does bad, bad things happen.

Suddenly an unusual person raised his hand. "Where will this be?"

"This will be slightly north of here in the nearest mountain range." Chabashira responded

"Fufufu. Good." Koenji laughed.

Syl shot up in excitement. "HAhahaha! This is great! Koenji! You're in my group!"

"Fufufu. Of course."

The entire class was confused.

This was so random.

Then they got over it, it was Syl and Koenji after all, logic doesn't apply to these two. 2

After class Syl went to class B.

"Chie! How's it going?"

Hoshinomiya saw Syl and smiled.

"Ara? What are you doing here? Are you finally joining my class?"

Syl sighed. "I wish. That damn dictator is so mean!"

Syl half expected Chabashira to show up out of nowhere and hit him for saying that.

Chie smiled. "You're welcome here anytime. Maybe you could even take Ichinose as a reward…" Then she leaned in and walked closer to Syl. "Or maybe you'd prefer me instead?" She asked cutely.

Syl smiled. "Only if you buy me dinner first."

Chie giggled. "That can be arranged."

Syl was dumbfounded. "What? Really?"

Chie blew him a kiss and walked away. "It'll just have to be our little secret~ I don't want to be fired after all."

Syl gulped and had a line of blood drip from his nose.

Just then, Ichinose decided to show up.

"EH? Syl! You're bleeding!" She frantically ran around to find something to block Syl's nosebleed with.

After she found a tissue she ran back over and shoved it up his nose.

"Thanks." He mumbled.

"Are you okay?! What happened!" Ichinose asked.

"Too cute." Syl replied.

"Eh? Uhh… umm thanks, do you really think so?" She blushed.

Syl nodded absentmindedly, still thinking about Chie.

"Hehe. Thanks." Ichinose said as she tucked her hair behind her ear with one hand. 3

Just then Syl finally realized Ichinose was here. "Ecchinose, hey! What are we doing for the exam?" 1

Ichinose got serious. "I was thinking about…" 1

The two discussed possible plans.

"... How's that sound?" Syl finished.

Ichinose looked torn. "W-well, it would probably work… but…"

"But?"

"Isn't that too mean? It's so awful?"

Syl smiled and pat the small of her back. "You need to grow a backbone if you want to reach class A. You're so close right now, you can almost taste it, can't you?"

Ichinose nodded meekly. "Y-yeah."

Syl laughed. "Then you must reach out and grab it! Do everything you can to win! You must go Plus Ultra!"

"Plus Ultra? Like that hero show?" 1

"Eh? You know MHA?!"

"W-well, my sister used to watch it a lot, is that bad?"

"Bad? No! It's great!" Syl laughed. "A woman of culture!" 5

Ichinose smiled. "I'll do it. I'll listen to your idea."

Syl smiled and nodded. "You won't regret it."

Syl turned and smirked.

'This will be fun.'

Chapter 89: Chapter 89

The next day the class was on a bus on the way to the spot there exam would be held.

The class was discussing strategies and trying to get out with the most class points possible.

Suddenly Syl smacked his palm. "Oh yeah! I totally forgot! Hey Horikita!" He called out across the bus.

She frowned. "What is it this time?"

"Ichinose said she wants to work together!"

"... what?"

"So I agreed!" Syl said happily.

Horikita clenched her fists in anger. "And you didn't consult with the rest of the class? Or bother to tell me because?" 1

Syl smiled. "Is anyone against working with Ichinose?"

The whole class shook their heads. In an exam where you had to face off against not only the other first years, but the second and third years as well, it was only natural that more help was better.

"Then there's no problem!" Syl laughed.

Horikita nearly threw her compass at him. What would she need to draw a circle for anyway? 4

"Alright, so what are we going to do?" Horikita asked in an icy tone.

Syl shrugged. "Ask Ichinose."

Horikita launched her compass at Syl and it hit him in the side.

"OW! What the fuck?!"

"Sorry, my hand slipped." Horikita replied simply.

"Bullshit! That was on purpose!" 3

Horikita didn't even bother responding.

Syl crossed his arms and pouted. "Does she think she's my mom or something?"

Suddenly a shoe flew through the air and hit him in the face. "Wha- Oh come on!" Syl cried out.

Kei giggled when she saw him. "That's karma for the snowball."

Syl nearly blew a fuse. "I am your cupid! That was a good deed!"

Kei's eyes went wide. He knew!

Then she traced her gaze back to Hirata.

"Actually, can I talk to you after the bus ride, Hirata."

Syl gasped. Was she really going to break up with him right now??

This is big news! 1

Huge drama!

The rest of the bus ride went smoothly and after they arrived Syl pulled Horikita to the side.

"Want to hear the actual strategy?"

Horikita paused. "I thought you didn't have one."

Syl smiled. "I just didn't want the whole class to know."

Horikita nodded and listened.

When Syl was finished.

"So, what do you think?"

Horikita nodded. "It's not bad, but I have one problem."

"What?"

"You can't expel Ibuki."

Syl jumped up. "What?! Why?!"

"She owes me a rematch."

Syl took a deep breath. "Please, just let me send that annoying toddler away."

"No."

"God damn tsunderes! Fuck this! Do what you want!" Syl stormed off.

Horikita furrowed her brow. "I'm not a tsundere."

"Yes you fucking are!" Syl screamed back.

Later on.

The grades were making small groups before they had to join up with bigger groups.

In the end the strategy was that classes D and B would form two kinds of groups, evenly split ones with all four classes, and groups with only D and B students in it.

In the end, it turned out like this.

Most groups were either split evenly.

A,B,C,D

Split between class B and D

B,D

Or predominantly class A or C students.

A

or

C

Syl ended up joining one of the groups with an even split.

He was grouped up with Ayanokoji (D), Yukimura (Keisei) (D), Koenji (D), Hashimoto ©, Yahiko ©, Ishizaki (A), Albert (A), Tokito (A), Moriyama (B), Sumida (B). 2

Now this might seem like a stacked group for class D, and it was. 2

But, Yukimura sucks at athletics, Koenji doesn't ever help the class, and Ayanokoji was 'average'. So really, from the class's perspective they were only losing out on Syl, but Horikita had given him the okay on joining this group, so no one else complained.

The idea was that they would put the worst students in the groups with four classes and stack the groups with only B and D with the best students.

That way on the groups that should be the worst they ideally should have to share the burden with the other classes.

Whether or not that would actually happen was another story, especially because they would have other years in their groups.

Anyway!

They eventually had to select a leader.

Nobody volunteered.

Syl raised his hand.

"So you're the leader?" Hashimoto asked.

Syl shook his head. "No, I was just gonna say let's do Eenie-meenie-miney-mo." 2

Everyone looked around and shrugged, eventually agreeing.

This is a real life thing you can do by the way, it's taking advantage of the herd mentality, if you're ever in a group then make sure you suggest something specific that you want. Nobody ever wants to be the person to say something first and they always just agree because they don't want to be the odd one out.

That's how you can lead a group into doing the things you want, just say something first and make sure it isn't stupid.

Anyway!

Syl took advantage of this phenomena and everyone agreed, not wanting to disrupt the group.

Well, everyone but Koenji, but he doesn't really count…

Anyway, Syl started going around the circle.

"Eenie-meenie-miney-mo-catch-a-tig-er-by-the-toe…" He continued pointing at different people. "Miney-mo." He ended up pointing at a specific person. "Alright, Tokito, you're the leader."

Tokito looked slightly upset, but nonetheless accepted the role.

It was only fair.

Right?

Anyway, eventually they had to pick a small group from the other years to join them.

They got 'lucky' and had Nagumo join their group.

Nagumo walked over and noticed that he was in a group with Syl. He smiled, then he also noticed Koenji was in the group.

"Have you all picked a leader yet?"

They nodded.

"I'm the leader, we chose fairly with everyone other than Koenji." Tokito said.

Nagumo chuckled. "So he's the group's problem child? It makes sense, considering his pl-"

"Who cares about him? Let's just win, he's only one person, how much can it hurt?" Syl interjected.

Nagumo was a little annoyed. "Well, I was going to say that he -"

Syl sighed. "Are you saying the student council president can't win without relying on a first year? That's a little disappointing honestly, why do you think we picked you? To come in last?"

Nagumo's eyebrow twitched. "I never said I couldn't win, this is my last chance to beat Horikita senpai." 2

"Then what's the issue?" Syl asked.

Nagumo sighed and smiled. "Nothing, I just thought you would be interested in your classmate's plan."

"I'm not." Syl replied simply.

"Are you sure? It's not a bad idea."

"I don't care, can you stop stalling and work with us on how we're going to win?" Syl asked.

Nagumo sighed. "Fine. But don't be surpri-"

"I won't be surprised, or angry, or anything else, let's just move on." Syl said.

The rest of the group nodded and agreed with Syl. I mean, why would they care what Koenji was doing?

Syl then rubbed his hands together. "So when are we hunting the bear?"

Everyone looked at him blankly, like he was an idiot.

"What?" Syl asked.

"We aren't going to hunt a bear." Nagumo replied.

"Bah! I picked a shitty group then!" Syl waved his hand and walked away, not participating anymore. 2

Ayanokoji sighed. 'He's really going to kill a bear, isn't he?' 1

Nagumo was dumbfounded. "Wasn't he the one who was trying to get started? Why is he leaving?"

Yukimura sighed. "You get used to it, he is somehow the least and most reliable person in the class at the same time."

Nagumo chuckled. "Well, let's get started."

Chapter 90: Chapter 90 1

The next morning.

Syl was out training with Koenji and going for a run when the morning alarm sounded to wake everyone up.

In the cabin the students in their group were freaking out that the two were missing and wondering what happened.

Eventually the two came back and saw all the others gawking at them.

"What were you doing?!" Yukimura asked angrily.

Syl looked confused. "Running. Why?"

"Where were you?! That alarm just went off!"

"Uhh… I just told you, we were running." Syl then leaned into Koenji's ear. "Is this guy deaf or something?"

"Fufu. The rabble always make such simple mistakes, you get used to it. I've come to expect it from imperfect individuals other than myself."

Syl nodded. "Must be tough not being perfect, I could never relate."

Koenji just laughed and walked away thinking that Syl was one of the imperfect fools. 6

Yukimura was fuming at being ignored and the two's reactions. "Just be ready next time!"

Syl looked at him like he was an idiot. "But, we were ready before you? Shouldn't you get ready earlier?"

Yukimura's eyebrows twitch. "Just cause you were awake doesn't mean that you were ready to start activities! We had to wait 5 minutes for you!"

"Bacon shamacon, who cares?" Syl waved him off. 1

" EVERYONE ELSE!"

Syl shrugged. "Do you guys really care that much?"

Albert, Ishizaki, Hashimoto and the two class B students shook their heads no.

"See? It's not a big deal." Syl said. "Now I'm going to go shower."

"There is no shower." Hashimoto commented.

"Then I'll find one." Syl replied.

Syl walked outside without a second thought.

He eventually found a small waterfall and used it as a shower.

When he showed back up, the group (Mostly Yukimura) Was livid at Koenji for not listening to them or caring about what they think.

The group then eventually went to the Zazen lesson.

Syl was surprisingly really good at this.

You'd think he'd be bouncing off the walls and ignoring the instructor but he just sat there and listened to everything while meditating.

Little did everyone else know that he had been doing this everyday for a while in order to improve his mana core, which is what he was doing right now. 1

He was actually a pro at meditation by now.

However, one person was dragging the group down right now.

Yahiko was struggling to meditate the entire time and it was starting to piss off his group members who were getting bad evaluations because of him.

After the Zazen the group approached Yahiko. "What are you doing?! Are you trying to make us come in last??"

"I-I'm not! I don't know what happened! I just felt really scared all of a sudden! I thought I would pass out!"

"There is no way we would believe that. Nothing was wrong in that room, it's not even like it was hot or something." Tokito replied, slightly annoyed.

"I swear! I'm not lying!"

Tokito sighed and walked away. "Just do better next time."

Yahiko was slightly annoyed but nonetheless accepted it with a grim look on his face as Hashimoto tried to cheer him up.

After that everyone went to get breakfast.

The rest of the day was a very similar pattern. The group was doing very poorly in the exam with Tokito struggling to keep the group together and encourage them to do better. He was even struggling in one or two of the lessons.

A sense of dread and minor annoyance hung over the group as the day came to an end. Even Yukimura was less upset at Koenji and Syl because the two were doing fine in the exams whereas the other students were struggling more.

At this rate it looked like they might have a good chance at being one of the lower ranked groups.

Even Ayanokoji went to Koenji to ask him to help the group a little and see if he could prevent any expulsions within the group.

Koenji unsurprisingly refused. 1

Ayanokoji was slightly nervous that the leader might take one of the class D students with him if he failed, including taking Koenji or Syl.

Syl was currently over with Albert, talking to him in english and having a good time.

Then it came time for dinner.

During dinner Ayanokoji and Kei secretly met up.

"How's your group?" Ayanokoji asked.

Kei smiled. "It's great, it's going perfectly according to Horikita's plan."

"Horikita's plan?" 1

Kei nodded. "Your group is the same right?"

"I'm not sure." Ayanokoji mumbled thinking about what might be going on.

Kei tried to continue the conversation but we distracted by something else happening.

In the middle of the dinning hall Syl, Ike, Sudo, and Yamauchi were hanging out and talking.

Yamauchi wasn't paying attention to where he was going.

Syl noticed what was about to happen a step too late.

Yamauchi bumped into someone and knocked them over, but Syl caught them before they could fall.

"Ah? Sorry." Yamauchi continued walking with Ike and Sudo after 'apologizing'.

Syl sighed as he held Sakayanagi up and helped her back to her feet.

"No chance you're going to let that one slide because I caught you right?"

"Fufufu. It's fine. There's no issue." She replied smugly.

Syl started sweating. "Your tone is a little…"

"If someone knocks you down, it's only natural to do the same. No issues, right?"

Syl sighed. "Well, I'm just glad you're alright. Also, you don't happen to want to 'knock me down' too, right?"

"Fufu. Of course not, I must thank you again for helping me. It's embarrassing that this is becoming a routine."

"Don't worry about it, I don't mind helping out a cute girl, it's my pleasure." Syl said as he flashed a smile.

"Fufufu. It's a relief to hear you think I'm cute."

Syl chuckled. "Of course you are. You're also absolutely terrifying." 1

"I'm so happy to hear that, I might just fall in love." She joked.

Syl smiled wryly. "You know, this is what I meant when I told you dad it was terrifying to talk to you. I feel like I'm walking on eggshells. No matter what I say it's wrong."

Sakayanagi looked shocked. "Thank you for the praise, but when did you meet my father?"

Syl cursed under his breath. What? Nothing? Who said that? Woah! Crazy weather we're having!"

"Fufufufu. A secret is it?"

Syl clicked his tongue. "This is exactly what I mean! I can't say anything! I'm walking on eggshells!"

He turned and walked away.

"We should do this again sometime!" Sakayanagi called out after him.

"You're just interrogating me! I won't lose next time! Mark my words! The lord of the flies never loses!" Syl called back.

"Fufufufu. So many interesting people." Sakanagi mumbled to herself as her eyes traced from Syl to Ryuuen to Ichinose and eventually fell on Ayanokoji.

Chapter 91: Chapter 91 2

Syl walked down the dining hall until he spotted someone eating alone.

He walked over in a chipper mood.

"Yo!" Syl called out.

The lone girl raised her head and looked in his direction. "Good evening."

Syl looked confused for a moment. "Is it evening? I thought it was afternoon."

She shook her head "Evening is from 6 p.m. on."

"Hmm, I had no clue." Syl mumbled as he sat down.

"It's rude to sit down without asking first."

"Eh? Uhh… Do you not want me here? I can leave…" Syl said nervously.

"Fufufu. I'm messing with you." Kiryuin, the girl sitting with Syl, replied before mumbling. "... of course I want you here." 5

"Sorry? What was that second part?" Syl asked.

"Fufu. Nothing." Kiryuin said with a smile tracing her red lips.

Syl raised a brow. "Did you put on makeup? Your lips look great, I like that colour."

Kiryuin smiled. "I'm surprised you noticed. It's only one shade off what I normally wear."

Syl nodded. "I still think it's nice, better than the other one in my opinion."

Kiryuin leaned on one hand with her elbow on the table in thought. "I guess I should get more then."

Syl smiled. "I'll go with you."

"Fufu. That would be fun, alright, it's a date."

Syl was slightly shocked to hear her call it a date. He decided against mentioning it and just went along. "I can't wait. Anyway, how's the exam going?"

Kiryuin was lost in thought for a moment. "Well, it's insufferable. My group is full of imbeciles and ingrates. I'm being forced to sleep in a tent with insufferable little girls who only know how to complain and talk about boys." Kiryuin suddenly had a slightly annoyed look on her face. "They especially like talking about this one cute kohai…"

Syl chuckled. "Well, I feel like that's the same with every group. I even feel like my group might fail…"

Kiryuin raised a brow. "That's an interesting thought to have, especially when you have the student council president in your group."

Syl shrugged. "You neve know what could happen. Besides it only takes one year in a large group to do poorly and drag the other two years down with them."

Kiryuin smirked. "Who's your small group's leader again?"

"Some guy from class A, his name's Tokito."

"Fufufu. Who's the leader of the girls group with all four classes in it?"

Syl pursed his lips. "I think it's some random girl from class A…"

"So that's your plan. Interesting."

Syl smirked. "Whatever could you be talking about?"

Kiryuin leaned forward and brought her face close to Syl. "If you can't gain class points, make someone else lose them." She whispered in his ear.

Syl gulped. "Y-yeah, well, that would make sense."

Kiryuin only backed off slightly, still remaining face to face with Syl. "Don't you think it's too easy to see through?"

Syl coughed and looked to the side. "Well, it's not like you can do much, even once you figure it out…"

"Can't you drag someone down with you?"

"Well, wouldn't you drag down the one person who annoyed you the most?" Syl countered.

"Fufufufu. I see. If you did that, it has a chance. But what if someone figures it out and tells their classmates?" Kiryuin looked at Sakayanagi for a moment.

Syl smiled. "Who would notice? Ryuuen threw in the towel and Sakayanagi can't do anything about it because her classmates aren't the leaders. The best she can do is tell her classmates to be nice, but how much would that really help?"

"Fufufu. I'll admit, it's not a bad idea, I'd expect no less from the lord of the flies himself."

Syl crossed his arms and nodded. "I am amazing."

Kiryuin smiled and poked his nose. "Whatever helps you sleep at night."

Syl had a slight red tint to his cheeks as he thought about something.

Kiryuin smiled. 'Cute.' She thought.

Syl looked back up at Kiryuin. "Hey, Kiryuin, c-"

[Dinner time is over] Someone announced over the loudspeakers.

Syl chuckled. "Well, time seems to fly when I'm with you… want to do this again tomorrow?"

Kiryuin smiled and stood up. "Sure. I'll do you a favour." She turned and walked away with a smile on her face. 2

Syl watched her figure retreat and smiled to himself. "I really can't wait."

Syl stood up and put his own dinner tray away after he cleaned up the table.

He walked back to his cabin.

When he got back everyone was bickering over this or that for some reason before eventually a knock was heard at the door.

The arguments came to a halt.

"Is someone gonna get that?" Yukimura asked, angrily.

"Get it yourself, four eyes." Ishizaki grumbled.

"Fufufufu." Koenji laughed at his handsome reflection.

Tokito sighed. "Can someone get the fucking door?"

Yahiko glared at him. "Why don't you do it yourself? You're our perfect leader after all."

Syl rubbed his ear. "You all are so immature. You should act your own age."

""I DON'T WANT TO HEAR THAT FROM YOU!!"" Everyone shouted in unison.

"Obviously, a bunch of brats like you don't wanna hear that from anyone, that's the whole point! You all act like unruly children!" Syl said in exasperation.

Everyone else grit their teeth.

He was the most childish one here!

By far!

What was he saying?!

Eventually the door was opened as Kiyotaka stood at the door. "President Nagumo, is there any reason you're here?" He asked.

Nagumo smiled and pulled out a deck of cards. "Why don't we get to know each other? We can all bet on who does chores."

Chapter 92: Chapter 92 2

The first years all looked kind of uneasy.

They didn't really want to play cards and risk doing extra work…

Most of them thought that they stood no chance against Nagumo, which was probably true for those who thought that.

Syl's head perked up at the proposition. A sly smile crept across his lips.

"I'll play." He said.

Half the group looked at him suspiciously, thinking he would suck at playing cards. He seems to have a terrible poker face after all.

The other half didn't give a fuck. They didn't really see Syl playing as a big deal.

Nagumo smiled as his bait for Syl had worked. 2

His plan was basically to just do something interesting and he figured Syl would follow with no questions asked.

He was 100% right. 2

Syl had the attention span of a goldfish. 3

Anyway!

Everyone got set up to play with the battle between the first, second and third years students in a 1v1v1.

Syl was one of the representatives for the first years.

The first round passed by without incident, the third years lost and had to do the first round of chores.

Syl noticed something during this round.

The next round he never picked the joker no matter how many times he had to pick a card.

Nagumo frowned when he saw this, wondering if it was a coincidence.

The second game out of 6 was lost by the second years due to Syl's miraculous avoidance of the joker.

The third game went the exact same way with Syl winning easily with his teammate and the second years suffering another loss.

After this game Nagumo was visibly upset and 'accidently' knocked over a cup of water on the cards.

"Sorry, sorry. Just when it was getting interesting too, I just had to go and ruin it." Nagumo chuckled humbly. 3

Syl smirked. "No problem. I have another deck!" 1

Nagumo looked shocked before smiling. "That sounds great!"

Nagumo's friends cleaned up his spill while Syl got his own deck of cards ready.

Syl made sure to mimic Nagumo's cards, he even bent the corner of the joker card just like Nagumo must have accidentally done.

Syl stared Nagumo in the eyes as he did this, obviously implying something.

Nagumo showed no reaction outwardly.

The 5th game was finally up and Nagumo used Syl's own trick against him, avoiding the joker by looking at the bent corner.

However, when it was only Syl, the third year and Nagumo left Nagumo chose the joker on purpose.

Syl looked at him like he was an idiot. Not quite sure why he did that.

Eventually the third years ended up losing as both Syl and Nagumo knew which card it was.

The next game before starting Syl did something unnoticed.

The game played out in a similar fashion with Syl avoiding choosing the bent card.

Eventually Syl picked the marked card on purpose.

The round continued until it was only Syl and Nagumo left.

Syl was relaxed even though he had the marked card in his hands.

It came down to the wire with Syl only having two cards left and Nagumo had to pick one last card to win.

Nagumo smiled as his hands hovered over Syl's cards.

"I wonder which card it is? Hmmm." He provoked knowingly.

Syl just smiled innocently. "Well, I can tell you if you want. This one is the joker."

Syl pointed at the card which wasn't bent.

Nagumo laughed. "Is that so? And why should I trust you?"

Syl gasped. "Do you think I would lie to my president?! I could never!"

Nagumo laughed and grabbed the marked card, the opposite of the one Syl pointed at.

Syl's face contorted into one of despair.

"It's our victory." Nagumo said calmly with a smile.

A few seconds went by where everyone was silent.

"Pfft~! Hahahahahaha!" Ishizaki started laughing from behind Syl.

Nagumo was confused. "What's so funny?"

"HAhahaha! He looks so dumb! He lost!" Ishizaki fell over laughing.

Albert chuckled as well

Nagumo instantly flipped over his card and was shocked. It was the joker!

He lost!

At this point Syl smiled evilly. "Why didn't you listen to me? I told you that was the joker?" 1

Nagumo grit is teeth. "Impossible, I saw it, that card was… What did you do?"

Syl looked confused. "What? Nothing."

Nagumo took a deep breath and sighed. He stood up and started walking away, his group following him.

"Congrats…" He walked away. "I hope he was worth it." He added on without looking back.

"Worth it?" Yukimura mumbled.

Syl was to busy celebrating his win with the rest of the group to mind what was said.

No more morning chores!

That was a huge plus!

The group went to bed in a good mood that night.

Nothing much happened the next day.

Everything went on like normal until dinner.

When the group made it to dinner Syl was the first one to leave.

He sprinted off after he had prepared in the cabin.

Yukimura held his nose. "Didn't he put on way too much deodorant? I think he even used cologne."

Ayanokoji shrugged. "I guess. I don't see a problem either way." 1

Yukimura sighed. "You can be pretty dense sometimes Kiyotaka. You don't even know about Airi…"

Ayanokoji feigned ignorance. "What about Airi?"

"Nevermind." Yukimura just lined up with Ayanokoji to get food.

Back to Syl.

He was frantically looking around the dinning hall.

He finally found what he was looking for.

He smiled and ran in a certain direction before posing and seductively speaking.

"What's a place like you doing in a girl like this?" 2

The person in question didn't even bother responding as she continued eating.

Syl chuckled and took a seat across from her.

"Is this taken?" He asked after already sitting down.

"I was reserving it for you." She replied with a smile.

"Thanks, Kiryu-" Syl was cut off by her holding a finger to his mouth and shushing him. 6

"Fuka. We've known each other for over half a year." She demanded. 1

Syl smiled with a slight red tint on his cheeks. "Sure, Fuka."

She nodded in approval before retracting her hand. "Good boy~." 2

Syl chuckled and took a bite of food, yesterday he barely got to eat because he was so immersed in his chats with Sakayanagi and Fuka.

He wouldn't make the same mistake twice!

He was going to finish his food today!

"How's the exam?" Fuka asked.

"Well, it's good, I wouldn't be surprised if we come in last, and Tokito seems to already hate Yahiko."

"Then isn't it going perfectly? Why are you so unenthusiastic?"

Syl pouted. "It's borrrrring." He threw up his arms. "I wanna have some fun! Hunt a bear! Do anything!"

"Fufufu. It just sounds like you're lonely."

Syl sighed. "Well, I still have friends in my group, but it gets boring without you around." He said without thinking.

The moment those words left his lips he felt anxious. That was practically a confession.

Well, not really, but Syl was really inexperienced… he was only 14 after all… 8

He was at that age where you text your best friend to get him to text a girl to get her to tell her friend that you have a crush on her. 2

The age where you have to clarify whether you like someone, or you like like someone…

The joys of youth! 2

Being so awkward around the opposite sex that it could make anyone cringe!

Anyway!

This little guy was terrified! What if she didn't like like him back! The world would end!

Alas, it's all over if those four words leave her lips…

'Let's just be friends.'

The deadliest words any young man can hear.

Syl started playing out a million situations in his head!

How awkward would it be if she rejected him?!

He didn't even mean to confess!

Actually! He didn't confess!

He just said he enjoyed spending time with her…

That's not actually a confession.

Anyway!

Syl was still freaking out over his 'confession of love'.

He didn't even love Fuka…

He didn't even know what love felt like… 3

Alas, he felt like the world around him would crumble if he heard the four accursed words.

Just when he was getting ready to run away in shame.

Fuka replied.

"Fufu. I wish I could hunt a bear too. I've actually never tried." She said as she tucked her hair behind her ear.

"Eh?"

Syl was confused as he was expecting an instant rejection. Only to be hit with the cold harsh wave of reality that he never even confessed, let alone claimed to love her, he never even said he liked her.

He only said he liked spending time with her…

What a loser.

"You just said you wanted to hunt a bear, no?"

"Ah- Y-yeah. I was thinking of going with Koenji."

"Maybe you could teach me sometime? I've never learned how to hunt, or fight for that matter."

Syl perked up. "Yes! Next time for sure! I can teach you how to fight too!"

"Fufu. Didn't you get beat up on your first day of school?"

Syl gasped and stood up abruptly. "How did you know that?!"

Fuka chuckled. "I was reading on the bench from across the street. You interrupted my peace and quiet."

Syl sat down in a huff. "Is that all you do??? Sit on benches?! Sit on something else!" 1

Fuka raised her brow and grinned without saying anything.

Syl eventually sighed. "You know, one day I'll get you. I won't let you make me look like a fool ever again! You're going to be the fool!" His eyes lit up as he had an idea. "I'll just call you mosquito from now on! Haha! I'm a genius!"

Fuka giggled and took a bite of food, allowing Syl to talk to himself.

Syl continued on a little rant about how he would best Fuka one day, and how he would come out on top. He was even kind enough to share his plans on how he would tease and make fun of her… 3

What an idiot.

Anyway!

The two continued talking for a while and Fuka finished her food.

She smiled as she looked at the time.

Just then the bell went off.

Syl gasped and looked down at his food.

His plate was nearly full!

"Damn! Not again!"

"Fufufufufufufufufu!" Fuka nearly fell over laughing.

Syl looked shocked. "Y-you! You planned this! You knew the whole time and didn't tell me!" 1

Fuka stood up and walked over to Syl before patting his head and ruffling his hair. "Maybe you'll best me next time, mosquito? Fufufu."

She continued laughing as she walked off.

Syl stared at her leave in a trance.

He smiled and flopped down in his chair without a single worry in his heart and a warm feeling in his chest. 3

Chapter 94: Chapter 94

The next few days continued on like normal.

Nothing important was happening.

Just normal exam stuff.

Syl talked to Ayanokoji, Albert and Ishizaki. He also talked to Hashimoto a bit and would do exercise with Koenji every morning.

During meals he would usually eat with Fuka, sometimes he would mingle with other people just so they wouldn't think he was ignoring or avoiding them.

He had started growing even closer to Fuka over these little meal dates. He was seriously considering asking her out. He thought that if they started dating it might really become love after a while.

Syl wasn't a huge idiot for once and didn't claim to love her before they had even really started dating. He realized that what he held right now was just a crush, a budding affection. It would go just as quickly as it came if he didn't do something about it.

He was nervous, unsure of what to do.

This was a first for him after all, the last time he dated someone…

Well…

You know what happened there.

Not exactly the healthiest relationship… 1

Syl also didn't want to talk to anyone about it.

I mean who would he talk to in his group?

Ayanokoji?

About love?

Not a chance!

Albert was a quiet guy without much insight into this, he's also had a crush on the same girl for nearly the whole year but still hasn't done anything about it. He had only talked to her once or twice…

Ishizaki was another option… if you wanted to see your relationship crash and burn, he was perfect! He was a good guy, but he was just an idiot, both academically and socially.

Syl was really in a position where it's best to not ask for advice.

He had already half talked about it with Albert, but he never mentioned Fuka's name.

Albert honestly told Syl he had no clue what to do, but did sincerely wish him luck.

He was a true friend. 3

Anyway!

Days turned to weeks turned to months turned to years turned to…

Eventually the group was tasked with walking up and down a mountain.

They got ready to set out with a chipper attitude and a full set of stamina!

"This won't be too bad! I can do this easily!" Ishizaki gloated.

"Speak for yourself." Yukimura mumbled.

A few unathletic kids nodded in agreement.

Syl ignored this and looked back at everyone. "Where's Koenji?"

Everyone looked around confused.

After a while they realized what happened.

Yukimura kicked a rock. "That bastard!"

Everyone was annoyed. Koenji just left!

Syl smacked his palm like he came to a realization.

"I'll just go find him! Good idea me!" Syl ran towards the forest while waving back at everyone. "Meet you at the top!"

"WAIT" The whole group called out after him.

It was a terrible idea to split up!

Alas, they would never receive a response.

Syl made his way through the forest and saw Koenji standing and waiting.

"Yo! That was a great plan!" Syl called out.

"Fufufu, it was a simple trick. Now we are free to hunt."

Syl laughed. "So, how are we doing this?"

"First one to the top of the mountain, with proof of a kill wins." Koenji explained simply.

Syl smiled and nodded. "3,2,1, GO!"

The two took off running in opposite directions.

Syl darted through the forest using the trees as footholds like he had a nine tailed fox inside him. Or was an emo with weird eyes… wait, he already had the sharingan… 1

Anyway!

He eventually came to see a bear in the distance.

He smiled and lurked getting ready to attack.

However, before he could do anything, something came flying through the air from the trees.

It was a branch of a tree with a pointed end.

'Shit! He beat me to it!' Syl thought as the bear roared in pain.

Syl ran off without watching the fight between the bear and Koenji.

He had his own bear to kill!

After running around the forest for a few more minutes he was about to give up.

He had searched like 90% of the forest already and only found the one bear.

The other 10% of the forest was near the peak of the mountain.

He quickly changed course and ran to the top, not expecting anything.

Syl was pissed!

Was he gonna lose to Koenji?

He could never lose!

Right?

Syl scoured the peak for any sign of a bear.

He was really getting close to having searched everything.

Koenji could also come up the mountain at any time.

Just then, Syl spotted something moving in the distance with his enhanced eyes.

It was a minimal movement that was nearly 1 km away.

He smiled like a maniac and ran towards the movement.

He was standing on the branch of a tree looking down at the stream in front of him.

A large mass of black fur was standing over the edge and taking a drink from the water.

Syl jumped off the tree and landed on one knee with his fist smashing the ground.

He slowly tilted his head to look up at the bear. "Superhero… He stood up and stared down the bear which was alerted to his presence. "... landing." 1

Syl smiled.

Then he looked at the sky for a second and thought aloud. "Should I play hot girl bummer?"

He didn't have time to reply to himself as the black bear charged at him.

"Woah!" Syl called out as he rolled to the side.

The bear paused and growled.

Syl who was on his knee put both his hands on the ground and growled back. "GRRR!"

The bear was a little confused but still charged. 1

Syl also charged, on all fours.

The two met in the middle as their shoulders collided. 5

They were locked in a stalemate with both of them pushing with their legs to move the other one back.

Chapter 95: Chapter 95

As they wrestled… a short distance away. 1

The group was walking up the mountain and nearing the peak. Many of them were out of breath and groaning in pain and exhaustion.

"Huff huff Can't we huff just give up?" Yukimura asked.

"No! Don't give in! We're almost there! You can do this!" Ishizaki cheered with a heavy sweat on his brow.

"G-guys… what the fuck is that?" One of the class B students asked.

"It's trees! The same as every other time you asked!" Tokito replied angrily.

"Is that… Syl? And… a-a-a-a-" The other class B student added on.

"And what?" Hashimoto asked curiously as the rest of the group caught up and turned the corner.

"A BEAR?!!?!" Yukimura called out in surprise.

Everyone snapped their heads in the direction everyone was pointing.

Only to see a bear standing on its hind legs standing 1 meter away from Syl who also had his hands up.

"Someone! Call a teacher! Get help!" Yukimura cried out.

Just then the bear fell to one knee.

"Does he really need help?" Ayanokoji asked.

Everyone was looking on in shock and horror as Syl was currently standing over a bear with torn clothes and a huge smile on his face.

They were terrified.

Syl chuckled and waved at everyone. "I finally found one to hunt!"

" THAT'S NOT HOW YOU HUNT!!" Yukimura screamed in anguish.

Syl chuckled and wiped his top lip with his finger. "Hehe. Is that right?" Then he turned back around as the bear was standing back up. "Hear that? Apparently we're doing this wrong."

The bear grunted and let out a low rumble.

Syl turned back to Yukimura. "I don't think he cares!"

Everyone was stunned at the sight in front of them.

Yukimura nearly ripped the hair out of his head in frustration.

Suddenly. " LOOK OUT! BEHIND YO-"

His voice trailed off as fear took over when he was the bear run at Syl.

Syl turned back to the bear and chopped it on the forehead. "It's rude to interrupt people!" 2

The bear held its forehead with a confused look on its face, almost like a lost puppy.

"This is insane! We're getting a teacher!" Hashimoto shouted and the group continued on to try and reach the top of the mountain and get a teacher.

Syl watched them all leave and shrugged.

Then he turned back to the bear.

"Now, let's get serious?"

The bear didn't respond as it roared and stood back up on two legs.

Syl laughed and ran in punching at the bears face.

The bear swiped its claw at Syl's body.

"Woah!" Syl called out as he backed away.

The bear swiped with his other claw before bringing both of them down on Syl like he was ripping a poster from a wall, in a combo attack. 1

Syl smiled as he dodged before he kicked the bear in the face.

The bear went flying and landed on the other side of the stream.

"Hahaha! That's 4!" Syl laughed as he had begun playing pong with himself, using the bear as a ball. 1

The bear got up and roared again. Charging on all fours at Syl.

Syl smiled and waved his hand.

The water rose up from the stream into chains of highly pressurized water.

The bear was instantly locked in place, trapped.

Syl smiled and started doing a take the L dance from the other side of the water. 2

The bear roared furiously and tried to break free of the chains again.

Syl laughed and flicked his wrist again, causing the spell to fall and the water to drench the bear.

"Alright, you little bastard. I'll come at you for real this time."

He flicked his other wrist and Dawn's ballad appeared in hand, glowing a brilliant shade of yellow.

Syl smiled maniacally and waved the blade through the air. "Usaginoashi, Dash."

The blade shifted into a new form, with a black tint surrounding the yellow blade and a keychain with pink bunny ears on the bottom of the handle.

Suddenly Syl disappeared and reappeared behind the bear, holding its head in hand.

Syl smiled. "Thanks, Usaginoashi."

His sword buzzed brightly. Almost like it was dancing.

"I told you, I don't need to sharpen you, you're always perfectly shaped!"

His sword buzzed angrily.

"What?! No! I promise I would! I just can't! It's physically impossible! You would cut anything I tried to use!"

Syl sighed and put his blade away.

He pouted. "Damn narcissistic sword, if you weren't such a cute girl… Hmph!" 3

Syl snapped his fingers and a fire formed, it quickly turned blue as it's heat rose and it roasted the bear's meat.

Syl put the head in his storage and cut off a toe of the bear with the claw intact.

He put it in his pocket and put the rest of the bear in his storage, only keeping a small piece of cooked bear meat.

He tasted it. "Not bad, but it needs salt and some other things. If I could just…" Syl rambled about how to cook the bear better for next time. "Then it would be perfect! Ah, wait! I have to go!"

Syl finally remembered the race he was a part of and took off towards the peak of the mountain.

Chapter 96: Chapter 96

Syl finally reached the top only to see everyone freaking out.

"What's wrong? I thought I made it in time… there's no way I took too long." Syl put his hand on his chin. "Anyway! Where's Koenji?!"

"Fufufu. It seems I was a moment too late. I must have taken too long to enjoy the scenery on my way up." Koenji replied from behind Syl after just arriving.

Syl started laughing. "HAHAHAHA! I won!" Then he walked over. "That's a pretty lame excuse, what scenery were you even enjoying, trees?"

"Fufufu. It only makes sense you wouldn't understand. I was admiring the Deciduous's, Aspen's, Conifer's, and Lagerstroemia's." 1

"What the fuck even is that?" Someone in the group asked. 1

Syl ignored them and looked at Koenji like an idiot. "Yeah… trees. That's what I said."

"You know of them yet still don't appreciate their beauty? How concerning." Koenji replied.

Syl sighed. He couldn't even brag about his win cause this guy was so focused on the trees.

Ayanokoji silently lamented about the time during the island test where Syl lecuted him, Airi and Yamauchi about trees for over an hour. He still vividly remembered hearing about the history of the birch tree…

Anyway!

A teacher finally came sprinting over.

"Is everyone okay?!?!"

Syl was currently showing Koenji the toe of the bear while he was being shown an ear as proof that they both hunted the bear before coming here.

Syl turned his head. "Chie? What are you doing here?"

She ran at Syl and leaped into him, hugging him tightly. "I heard you were attacked!" She separated and started checking his whole body. "Where does it hurt? Here? Here? Here?"

Syl chuckled. "Nowhere. I'm fine."

"FINE?! How are you fine! Do you know how scared I was?! I heard you- I heard a student was attacked by a BEAR!" 2

She had small tears in the corners of her eyes.

She grabbed Syl again and hugged him tightly as she started crying.

At this point another teacher arrived while sprinting. "SYL! Are you okay?!"

Syl nodded his head as dumbfoundedly as he awkwardly pat Chie's back, in a sorry attempt to comfort her.

Chabashira who had just arrived fell to the ground and sighed in relief. "Thank god. I was scared you might die."

Syl looked confused. "Why would I die? I was just hunting."

Chie froze in his arms. "What?"

"I was just hunting a bear, me and Koenji did it together." Syl said as he yawned.

Chie abruptly stood up. " YOU DID THAT ON PURPOSE!?"

Syl nodded.

"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW SCARED I WAS?! EVEN SAE NEARLY CRIED WHEN SHE HEARD!" She scolded.

"Ah, uh. But-"

" DON'T YOU BUT ME!" Chie grabbed his ear and started yelling into it. " YOU COULD HAVE BEEN HURT! DO YOU NOT THINK BEFORE YOU ACT?! I SWEAR IF I…"

She continued yelling at Syl as he had a helpless look in his eyes.

After 15 minutes.

"...DO YOU UNDERSTAND NOW?! YOU CAN'T DIE AND LEAVE ME ALONE!" 2

Syl nodded absentmindedly, no one was listening anymore. They had all tuned it out.

Chie huffed. "Good. Never again."

Syl didn't respond.

Chie's aura changed as Syl felt a darkness surrounding him. "RIGHT?" She asked.

Syl frantically nodded. "Right! Right! Never again!"

Chie narrowed her eyes. "You better not be lying."

"I'm not! How could I ever lie to such a cute girl?!" Syl screamed.

"Cute?" Chie asked with narrow eyes.

Syl nodded.

Chie smirked and snorted. "Fine, I'll let you off this time. Only cause you're so cute."

She turned around and walked away, hiding the blush on her face from Syl.

She had just realized everything she said and did in her panic, and the cherry on top was that Syl called her cute!

She grabbed Sae and left the room.

Syl sighed and fell to his back.

"I think I burst an eardrum." He muttered.

Everyone else in the room was long gone as they didn't want to listen to Syl get scolded.

I mean, who would?

Obviously a sadist!

Ha! Bet you didn't expect me to say that! 1

Dumbass.

Heh, Anyway!

The next day.

It was a day of break, where everyone got to use the baths.

Syl yawned as he entered with a pink bunny robe. It had a hood with little bunny ears on it.

Once inside he made his way over to the bath and took a seat beside Ayanokoji.

While he was relaxing everyone started to have a competition.

They were comparing their 'sizes'. 4

Syl wondered for a moment, what if someone was a grower and not a shower? Wouldn't that defeat the whole purpose? 1

Anyway!

The competition was nearing its end with Koenji and Albert in the lead.

"Hey, you two have to join in! Maybe one of you could beat these two!" Someone called out.

Syl looked at himself, then at Ayanokoji, then at the guy who spoke. "Really?" He pointed at himself and Ayanokoji. "You think we'll win? Take a good look at us, you think we can beat them?"

Well, what Syl said was true… Albert and Koenji were twice their size. Especially Syl, he was probably almost actually half of Albert's weight.

Eventually after enough nagging, Syl finally stood up and took his robe off.

Then he revealed something that should shock no one…

He was pretty average. 1

Just normal. 12

Anyway, eventually Ayanokoji was forced to participate and ended up winning the competition. 3

But honestly, who really cares?

Not Syl!

He was too busy having dinner with Fuka again after the bath to give a shit.
