Season 2 Episode 8
It's not my fault...What's everyone so mad at me for?...They're the ones with problems...All I did was tell the truth...It's their fault for rejecting me...
This was a flashback which reveals a horrific scene of Kikyou's past as it fades to the present. "Yeah. That's just how it had to be!" The girl is wearing her current mask as Yousuke briefed the class about the Paper Shuffle Special Exam. "Okay! Is everyone in favor of the study sessions to prepare for the Paper Shuffle?"
"I'm in!" Ike answered.
"Yeah me too!" Yamauchi also answered.
"Well then. Kushida, Horiikita and I will serve as the teachers. Group 1 will be held after class and Group 2 will be held after club activities. Each group gets 2 hours." Yousuke briefed the class. "Now let's assign the rotation now."
"I'll take part in both groups as much as I can!" Kikyou made her suggestion. "Alright then. Thanks Kushida." Yousuke thanked her as, "Let's all work together!" She declared to the class and they agreed with her.
"Moving on, I'll oversee Group 2 since I have soccer practice so it's suited for me to oversee this group." Yousuke declared.
"Then I'll oversee Group 1." Horikita declared.
"Excellent. Then it's settled for the study groups." Yousuke then ended the meeting.
Some time later, school is over and half of Class D left for their dorms or club activities. The rest are still in the classroom as Miyamoto is doing his homework, Yukimura is checking his phone and Ike and Yamauchi are watching Kikyou chat with Kokoro, Mori and Satou.
At the corner, Ayanokouji, Horikita and Yousuke are discussing something when Ayanokouji observed Kikyou get a text message and leave the classroom imminently. Satou on the other hand noticed him and waved at him. However he didn't.
"Can we talk?" He looked to his right to see Akito and Haruka approach them.
"Miyake and Hasabe? What is it?" Yousuke asked them.
"We're paired up but we have the same strong and weak testing areas. It's a problem." Akito explained.
"Naruhodo. You're a bad match-up for the upcoming test." Yousuke realized.
"But we can't handle many more in our study groups." said Horikita.
"Yeah. I'd like to give more support they need." said Yousuke.
"But if only we just have another potential teacher..." said Horikita for both students knew what they're lacking for their classmates.
"I'll look after them." All looked up to see Yukimura standing before them. "Yukimura? Are you sure?" Yousuke asked him. "I want our class to pass this special test." He answered to him. "I wasn't useful during the Sports Festival."
"That's not true!"
"Hirata, we've all been undermined by things we're regarded as unnecessary in the past. The only difference is whether that was sports or academics. At this school, you need to be good at more than just academics or sports." Yukimura stated wisely.
"Very true indeed." Horikita agreed with him.
"Instincts, inspirations and intuitions. One day we'll be called on to use these indispensable human qualities." Yukimura stated on. "I hate to admit it but none of us can do that alone. What we need now is a team that covers all the bases."
"Unity then..." Ayanokouji noticed as Horikita looked at him.
Outside the classroom, the 2 students had a talk. "Ayanokouji, I want you to take part in Yukimura-kun's study group."
"Why me Horikita?"
"Because I want you to see if they're making progress." She replied. "Besides, you and Yukimura-kun were in the same group during the test on the cruise right? Therefore you must have some flexibility."
"Are you sure about this?" Ayanokouji asked when, "Ano...did I just heard you guys talk about some study group?" It was none other than Sakura as she appeared to have showed up right before them. "Sakura-san, anything?" Horikita asked.
"Well I left something in the classroom so I retraced back to get it and...sort of heard everything. If I may, may I also join the study group that Ayanokouji-kun's in?" Sakura requested.
"Hmmm...I'm not sure about it...you were suppose to be in group 1 for it right?" Horikita asked when, "I don't mind." Ayanokouji spoke up. "Sakura is still not very open with most of us. Perhaps those in group 1 she doesn't interact so much. She's still working to improve on herself. Therefore, a small group like this can be a good start for her. Who knows? If Yukimura will be teaching, she can not only learn with us but also assist him in handling the study group."
Horikita was very surprised by his words. She then smiled and looked at Sakura. "Very well. You may join his group. After all, you also have displayed improvement in your academics and consider this my way of repaying you for helping us at the trial back then during the framing incident."
"Thanks guys. I can definitely trust you both." Sakura thanked them with her smile. "So true...by removing the shackles and the mask, her trust in our class will grow at a steady pace." Ayanokouji thought as they went back inside the classroom.
Later on...
At some coffeeshop that sells coffee and cakes, "So these are the members of the study group." said Yukimura as the 5 students are seated together around a table with cups of coffee, a pencil case, 2 notebooks and a textbook or something. Yukimura, Ayanokouji and Sakura sat together on one side and Akito and Haruka sat together on the other side.
"Gee I feel a little bad..." said Akito.
"Is this where we say, "Nice to be working with you"?" Haruka asked.
"Nice to be working with you." Ayanokouji greeted as Sakura giggled at his move.
"Whoa, Ayanokouji-kun's capable of talking." Haruka exclaimed with her hands on her cheeks. "That guy is usually invisible. I barely notice if he's even in class half the time."
"Hey Hasabe. Go easy on him. He's incredibly awesome at the relay the other day." Akito spoke to her.
"I was in the bathroom so I didn't see him in action." She replied to him as she looked straight at him. "If I remember, he raced the former student council president right?"
"Indeed. I video recorded the race between them. It sure was an explosive one." said Sakura. "If ever we have some free, I can show it to you guys."
"Cool!" said Akito.
"Alright let's cut the chatter and get started but first, no more hiding things like you did at the Sports Festival Ayanokouji." Yukimura chided him lightly. "When it comes to academics, Horikita tells you're incredibly darn good. It also means you've been holding back right?"
"I can memorize the stuff easily." Ayanokouji replied.
"Yukimura-kun. You don't have to be strict to him. He's already making his moves." Sakura assured to him while defending Ayanokouji. "The feeling of giving it your all sure has struck Ayanokouji's heart. Who knows? It may be at the right timing."
Yukimura cringed a bit. Still, "If nothing else, you better begin the study session." Sakura told him and he began. "Miyake, Hasabe. I've studied up on your weakest subjects. Let's get into the details, I've written up a few humanities questions. I want you 2 to solve them first and you'll have 10 minutes to do so."
"Can't you do something?!"
"Our special cakes must be reserved one week in advance."
"And I'm telling you to make an exception!"
Apparently, this conversation has interrupted their study session as all looked to see Ishizaki arguing with the lady over some cake he wants or something.
"What is going on here?" Haruka asked.
"He's from Class C right?" said Akito.
"C'mon guys. Stay focused here! And Sakura, can you time the duration for them to complete the questions?" Yukimura asked.
"10 minutes right? I'll use my handphone to set a timer for them to complete the questions." Sakura complied as she whipped her handphone out.
"Cake..." Ayanokouji thought. "That reminds me..."
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
"It's almost my birthday." And those were some delicious cakes sitting in display.
10 minutes later...
"It's impressive in a way." Ayanokouji told Yukimura and Sakura.
"They even made pretty much, the same mistakes." said Yukimura as the notebooks show the results.
"How peculiar. It's like during the mock test, they're both in sync." Sakura described and that stunned Akito and Haruka.
"So we're basically teaching one person then." Ayanokouji concluded from his analysis.
"Class C will be making our questions right?" Haruka asked as she sipped her coffee.
"Yeah. As long as they pull questions from the textbook, it'll come down to basic ability." said Yukimura. "We should be able to form basic counter-strategies."
"You know they're gonna make weird questions for us." Haruka spoke up. "You really think this study group will help?"
"Well..." Yukimura is sort of unsure a bit. Until, "The school will decide if the questions are appropriate, right?" Ayanokouji stated this fact. "Indeed." Sakura agreed as he continued on. "If we learn exactly where the school draws the line, we'll have a stronger footing."
"Where the school draws the line?" Akito asked.
"Is there a way to find that out?" Yukimura asked.
"I believe there is." Ayanokouji answered and after that, the group resumed their study session.
Evening...
"We need to prepare some questions that seem on the dicey side and see what the school has to say about them. Whether or not they accept those questions will give us our answer." Ayanokouji explained to Horikita as they walked back to the dorms together.
"It does seems worth investigating." Horikita agreed with him.
"How's the question composition coming along?" Ayanokouji asked her.
"Hirata-kun and I are making progress and we're sharing study group information as well." She answered.
"Well that's good. How did things go with Kushida?" He asked another question.
"In what sense?"
"No change in behaviour or facial expression?"
"She helped as much as she could."
"And I take it that she's not involved in coming up with the questions for Class C is she?"
"Yes. Hirata-kun and I were keeping it close to our chest." Horikita assured to him. "We crafted the questions together in our dorms and kept in touch on the progress. But...I don't think that will solve the basic problem."
"Indeed. Kushida will do anything to repeat the same actions she did in the Sports Festival." Ayanokouji can agree with her on that one. "But I have a way to deal with her, I think." Horikita spoke up. "Ayanokouji-kun. There's one more favour I'd like to ask of you."
"Another one?" He asked and she replied to him. "On a day where Yukimura-kun's study group isn't meeting, I'd like you to drop in on ours. You see, there are so many people in it, it's hard for me to keep track on their progress and see everything that's happening. You can also help me observe Kushida-san and see if there's anything suspicious around her."
But it was at that moment that Ayanokouji received a text message. He paused from the walking to whip out his phone and open the new message to read it.
Who are you?
"What's the matter?" Horikita asked walking up to him. He said nothing as he thought. "Ryuuen just got started huh?" He then kept his phone and answered. "Nothing and I'll see what I can do in your study group."
"Excellent. Thanks again." Horikita thanked him as they continued walking back to their dorms.
The next day...
In the school library, "Wow it's my first time here! What about you Ayanokouji-kun?" Satou asked him.
"I've been here many times reading or doing homework." He replied.
"So you're a real study nerd huh? No offense." Satou exclaimed.
"It's how I kill time but without using physical weapons." He replied back making her chuckle a bit. "You're funny and you come here to 'kill' time?" She asked as they unpacked their school materials and she suddenly thought of this. "Say...is this a problem?"
"Is what a problem?" He asked.
"You know...suddenly saying that I want to join the study group..." She replied stammering a bit.
"I don't mind." He replied. "And I assure you that Horikita and Kushida are more than happy to have you."
"That's not what I meant..." Satou apparently couldn't think of anything else to say when, "I need a little less chattering from the group this time around." Horikita has begun and other group members present are Ike, Yamauchi, Kokoro and Mori.
"Hey Horikita-san, how do you think I should study?" Satou asked.
"Simple. You're partners with Ayanokouji-kun so he can look after you and work on your weaknesses. It's also a good opportunity for you Satou-san and I'll leave you 2 out." Horikita answered her question.
"But my test scores aren't that much high." Ayanokouji stated but was ignored as, "Well then, let's work hard together, Ayanokouji-kun!" Satou cheered and ready to begin as she started chatting to him with Ike and Yamauchi staring and commenting at their interaction when, "Ike-kun and Yamauchi-kun! Cease your distractions and get ready to study! We're beginning now!" Horikita ordered as they complied.
2 hours of studying and done as the tired students packed up and headed for the exit. "Ayanokouji-kun, wanna walk back with me?" Satou asked. "I have a few things to take care of. Go on without me." He replied. "Aw really? Fine then, see you tomorrow." Satou was a bit dismayed but still, she left and now, it's just him and Horikita.
"Alright everyone's gone. Can you tell me what you have in mind to deal with Kushida?" Ayanokouji began.
"I've thought a few things over. If I hadn't come to this school, Kushida-san would have earned the whole class's trust and become a fully functioning member of the class until graduation." Horikita stated. "Yet...I somewhat stole that future from her...still, it's my fault of course but I did play a part..."
"What will you do then?" He asked.
She said nothing for a few seconds. And then, "Deal with it my own way."
And so...
In the classroom, Kikyou was looking out at the window when, "Kushida-san. Sorry to keep you waiting." From the door, she has arrived.
"What were you talking about with Ayanokouji-kun?" She asked first.
"Nothing of consequences." Horikita answered.
"Something you can't tell me?"
Ignoring her statement. "We went to the same middle school and I know your past. Thus, you want to have me expelled by any means necessary." Horikita began. "Am I correct in this?"
"Yes! I absolutely want you out for good since you know it!" Kikyou replied.
"In the first place, I don't know anything more than rumours." She brought up.
"But I can't be sure of that can I? Anyone from my middle school, whether they know of it or not, I will do whatever it takes to get them expelled! Nothing really matters!"
Horikita sighed when she heard that. "So be it. How about a bet?"
"What kind of bet?"
"In the upcoming finals, if I score higher than you, I want you to stop your sabotage attempts to expel me but if you score higher than me, I'll leave the school for good."
"Oh? And we're competing as individuals not as pairs?" Kikyou asked.
"Yes." She replied and she shook her head. "This makes no sense at all! It's no contest! I mean, I've never beaten you before in overall test scores before!"
"Not overall tests. We'll compete in one of the 8 subjects during the finals. I'll even give you the handicap to choose which subject we'll use."
Kikyou sure is not expecting that as, "You have an objection?" Horikita asked.
"Well...it sounds like a total 'honor system' agreement to me...what if the results come out and the loser defies the bet in a way that it never happened or breaking the agreement off without a word or action?" Kikyou asked.
"I'm aware of that and to make sure our bet is on fairly, I've prepared what I believe to be is a reliable and trustworthy witness." Horikita revealed as she faced the backdoor of the classroom as a familiar figure entered from them getting Kikyou's attention as she too shifted her direction.
"It's been some time Kushida." Manabu revealed himself walking in the class. This surprised her as, "You...remember me?"
"I never forget a face. In fact, in my third year in middle school, it's the same year my sister and you got enrolled in. I was also the student council president at that time and I gave my welcoming speech to the freshmen. And during that time, I made use of my keen observation skills." Manabu revealed some more.
"And this is why I trust him the most in the entire school." Horikita added. "Am I right in thinking that you trust him to some degree yourself?"
This surprised her some more as she faced Manabu now. "This whole thing between us-"
"I don't care. I was asked to appear as a witness. Nothing more."
"Are you sure about this? Horikita-senpai?" Kiykou asked. "If your sister loses the bet-"
"She's the one that proposed this deal to me." He revealed as he adjusted his glasses. "And I have no intention of interfering." He and Horikita then faced each other as Kikyou wore her other mask looking away a bit. "You're sure and serious about this Horikita-san?" She asked still using her innocent tone of voice.
"Well someday, I have to go all in." She replied.
"So be it. I'll accept your bet and I choose math and if we tie, it's a wash I guess?" Horiktia agreed to Kikyou's words as, "It's done." Manabu told the girls as the witness of the bet. "If either of you goes back on your word, be prepared for the consequences." He then took a quick glance at his sister and they nodded at each other. With that, he took his leave.
After Manabu left, "I'm looking forward to this." Kikyou stated as she walked closer to Horikita. "Hey Ayanokouji-kun! Why don't you join us?"
Horikita was startled by this as, "Come on you ungrateful asshole! I'm not that stupid! You're eavesdropping everything through Horikitas-san's handphone right?"
It then cuts to him in his dorm listening to everything.
Some time later...
Night time has arrived and 3 students gathered together for an important discussion at the park. "Hey Horikita-san, may I add another condition to our bet?"
"What condition?"
"If I score higher than you, I want Ayanokouji-kun to drop out as well along with you!"
"I can't agree to that. Ayanokouji-kun has nothing to do with this."
"I'll agree to that." He spoke up surprising her. "After all, I already bet that Horikita will win this for sure."
"Chotto Ayanokouji-kun! I don't want you to get involved!" Horikita exclaimed not wanting her friend to drag himself into this situation.
"Don't worry about it." He replied as, "Hee! Hee! You're easy to agree on." Kikyou cheered. "True. But also, I'm gonna add a condition of my own." Ayanokouji declared surprising both girls. "You will tell me everything. Everything that happened in your past in middle school especially on how you destroyed your own entire class."
Kikyou was greatly astonished upon hearing this. "I think I have the right to know. I could get expelled for something I know nothing about. And you're acting under the assumption that Horikita knows what happened even if she never knew right? Therefore, giving us the details here and now won't change anything in the bet." Ayanokouji stated.
"I have no interest in knowing her past!" Horikita stated firmly.
"You may not but I do." He replied back as he faced Kikyou. "How about it?" She said nothing for a moment while maintaining her false smile. So, "Or what if I claim I know nothing about it, will you let me off the hook?" Ayanokouji sure is testing her with peer pressure and because of that, she walked to the railing and leaned a bit forward to view the city.
"You want to hear it so badly?" She asked as she gazed at the view for a second. "Ne Ayanokouji-kun, do you ever feel the moment that you do something better than others...isn't it the best?"
Ayanokouji and Horikita are now fully attentive as Kikyou began.
"Back in elementary school, people would lavish me with praise over the smallest achievements. Like scoring the highest in a test or winning first place in a sports event, I became the centre of attention having those moments in the spotlight all by myself. More than anything, I wanted it and the praises. And in the moments that I receive those, I feel so worthwhile deserving the recognitions. I feel that more strongly than others and I became dependent on it."
The first flashback occurred and it shows Kikyou scoring top marks in tests or exams and winning races in sports events. Even so, receiving awards onstage truly gives her the spotlight as she cherished it feeling the praise and recognition. It sure was addictive and that's why she's dependent on it
"But soon, I found my limitations. No matter how hard I worked, none gave me the attention. Even so, I found out there are others better than me in the field of talents and abilities thus taking the spotlight that I wanted to take. And so I realized this. I just have to do the things nobody else wanted to do! And it's to be the nicest and friendliest! And that was enough to make me number one in popularity! The ecstasy of being needed, of being trusted! Ahhh...it was a bliss! But...volunteering to do the things nobody else wanted to do is painful, you know?"
The second flashback occurred and it shows her feeling her spotlight disappearing and it reappears on her other classmates in middle school. This enabled her to try a different approach as numerous scenes in middle school displays her helpfulness, kindness and cheerfulness
"Well of course, it's painful. If I wanted to maintain my popularity...I can't throw away what I have. I kept enduring as long as possible but...who could possibly keep that up...forever?"
The third flashback occurred with Kikyou brushing her teeth and feeling frustrated, she ended up brushing too hard and spitting out blood. When combing her hair, she felt the same emotion and combed too hard pulling off some strands. Painful they are.
"At that moment, I stumbled upon it and it was the only outlet at that time. Yes, it was my blog! The one place where I can vent out all my secret and excess stress without revealing it to everyone! And just like that, the bile in my throat went down!"
The fourth flashback occurred and it shows her doing lots of typing on her personal laptop in the dark in her bedroom. The blog she owns is under her username, Student K and it shows a blog entry she's typing on. Currently 80 containing all kinds of negative content in her own way to relieve her stress.
"But one day...it's exposed. I didn't use any names but based on what I said, my classmates found out and all know it was from me. Yes, every awful thing I said about everyone in class is all seen by them so I know that's just how it has to be...but they sure gave me an awful earful about it nonstop. After everything I've done, they instantly turned against me!"
The fifth flashback occurred in middle school as in class, everyone found out about the blog and confronted her. Some demanded answers on all this while others out of anger insulted and despised her verbally.
"As this goes on, my fight-or-flight instinct was triggered! The whole class was against me after all. So...I used my own weapon that I've saved for the best. In front of my stupid and worthless class, I told them everything! Truths about all the classmates that I did not write in my blog! There's a lot of it! Like who he's cheating with, who she's been bas-mouthing, who he's known to be a vandal, who she's having an affair with, plenty of dark truths living within all of them and I spilled every single one of them! The result? Pandora's Box has been opened!"
And the last flashback plays out with Kikyou telling all the dark truths resulting in her classmates arguing and confronting each other. It soon escalated into an all out brawl as the boys and girls began attacking each other violently. Chairs and table were thrown and used to swat about, punching, kicking and slapping can be heard and every second that passes, blood was spilled all over the classroom tainting the walls, floor, windows and even the whiteboard and the belongings of the students. The result? Only Kikyou herself remained seated with the classroom atmosphere ominous and in ruination
"That's just how it had to be! They'd stop praising me at all and that concludes everything!"
Horikita was greatly shocked upon hearing all this as Ayanokouji closed his eyes thinking about what he just heard because he found the answer to the incident. "Shinjitsu...a powerful but double-edged sword."
"As of now, I don't know Class D all that well just yet. That also applies to Class C, B and A...but I do know enough "truths" to take down a few people." This made Horikita worried as, "My real mistake was venting out my stress on the internet. You never know who's looking at it and there's no getting rid of the content once it's posted. That's why for now, I'm venting out all my stress verbally in any place safe from prying eyes and otherwise getting along."
Well that explains what Ayanokouji encountered as he recalled it while, "You'd go that far...just for..." Horikita was too horrified about everything she heard tonight and at this moment, Kikyou wore her other mask and lost it.
"Well it's my purpose in life!" She then face them revealing her twisted facial expression. "My whole life, there's nothing I've loved more than being noticed and praised! And when someone reveals secrets to me that they haven't told anyone else, I feel something welling inside me that defies even imagination!"
After saying this, madness and insanity filled her entire mindset as she laughed out loud maniacally before them. Horikita has seen it before and Ayanokouji remain unfazed.
A two-faced demonic monster created by the desire for attention and recognition...
"My past is really nothing special, see? But it's everything to me!" Kikyou finalized now wearing her current mask. "I've told you everything. So remember, if I win the bet, you 2 will drop out and never will I want to see your faces forever!"
The 2 students stared at her as time passes on. "You have our word." Ayanokouji assured as he and Horikita left her immediately.
After that...
"I'm sorry for getting you involved Ayanokouji-kun."
"No need to apologize Horikita. I've heard and understood everything."
That surprised her as they stopped walking. "Kushida's defect and the reason for her placing in Class D. So much of a shocker to both of us." Ayanokouji stated.
"And to think she used truths to destroy her class in middle school..." Horikita looked worried as, "Get some rest Horikita. We need to prepare for the exam and beat her at our own game."
"Wakata." The 2 then resumed their walk back to the dorms. "You told your brother of her past did you?"
"Yes. It's also the only way to get him to be the witness of this bet I proposed." They son arrived and went to their respective dorms to rest.
It now cuts to Ayanokouji in his dorm as he waited. "Before anything, I managed to work on some transfers." He thought and knocking was heard and he answered the door. "Good timing Honami."
"So can I have my phone back? You borrowed it right?" She asked as Ayanokouji passed it to her. "I wonder...what is the purpose of borrowing my phone?"
"The truth hurts Honami. If I tell you."
"But Kiyotaka...what is going on?" Honami asked and added. "I won't leave until you tell me! I know for sure something happened around you!"
"Are you sure?" He asked and she really is determined. "I sure admired her for this..." He thought and so, "Like I said, the truth hurts so brace yourself and come inside." She went in and they sat on the bed. Ayanokouji then sat beside her, took his phone out and played a recording.
Honami's eyes widen in horror over what is just heard. "Masaka...this is the real Kushida-san?! How can she do this and have a horrible past? I thought we're friends..."
"There's more to it." Ayanokouji played another recording which was the night he came across Kushida's true colours after the first midterm exams. Following that, he played the next recording which was on the cruise ship where she vented out her hatred about Honami and she was terrified by this.
"I don't believe it...this is undeniable..." Honami exclaimed as she looked down in sadness. "What will we do?"
"For now, we keep this to ourselves. I know many of the girls in your class are friends with her so whatever you do, don't spill anything about Kushida to them. Otherwise, your class will have a breakdown about her for they have yet to witness her true colours." Ayanokouji advised her. "And thanks for lending me your phone for the recording. I even worked on the transfer from it to my phone. It was fortunate that Kushida did not suspect it."
"No problem Kiyotaka and...can I stay with you a little longer? I could use a bit of...comfort..."
"Sure. Want something to drink? We still have time but better head back before 10."
"Sure thing." Honami answered as Ayanokouji went to make some hot chocolate. Shortly thereafter, Felix emerged and walked to Honami as she smiled at the sight of the adorable kitten as it rubbed itself on her and she played with him for a bit.
A few minutes later, Ayanokouji returned with 2 mugs of hot chocolate as he handed one to her and they sat down and drank together. "Why does Kushida-san hate me so much to the point of plotting to expel me?"
"Probably because of that list." Ayanokouji assumed. "The one where the boys worked on?" Honami asked. "Yeah. And also, envy." He added.
"Envy? You mean she's envious of me?" She asked. "Envious of you over certain things but when I compare you 2, you're better than her." He stated surprising her.
"Both of you are similar but there are differences." Ayanokouji then began the explanation. "On the outside, Kushida wears a mask that displays her angelic behaviour and attitude but on the inside, she wears a mask which displays her malice, hatred and wickedness which led to her having an unstable insanity while you, on the other hand are perfect. You don't wear a mask at all and you get along well with everyone without harbouring grudges and hate against anyone."
Honami was surprised by this as he continued on. "Next, Kushida enjoys getting showered with praise, recognition and attention while you displayed humility even when being praised and finally, you're perfect in appearance and not to mention you have the largest bust size larger than Kushida's."
"B-B-BAKA!" Honami blushed hard and lightly punched his arm. She then continued sipping her hot chocolate with her blushing face still seen. Felix on the other hand is now rubbing itself on Ayanokouji as he pet his head while sipping his hot chocolate.
The 2 students didn't talk after this and once they finished their drinks, Ayanokouji went to wash the mugs while Honami continued playing with Felix. "Say Kiyotaka, how's preparations for the Paper Shuffle?"
"Studying hard and doing what our class can do to at least survive." He answered.
"Same for my class! Gambare Kiyotaka!" She cheered for him as she looked at the time. "I better head back. It's nice dropping by."
"Alright. Take care and goodnight." He replied
"You're going to be alright. Will you?"
"Don't worry about me. After the finals if I make it, let's hang out." He assured to Honami las she nodded believing in him and left his dorm. After that, He looked out by the window. "After everything that happened tonight...

"I've got a plan on how to deal with Kushida. Ultimately for good."
In Kikyou's past, I edited some parts and made it darker at the final part where she spills out the truth with a load of chaos and violence. Ayanokouji's right. Truth really is a powerful weapon but a double edged sword. And this is why Kikyou involved the other 3 classes regarding the truths. What kind of wicked scheme is she planning?
And I made Sakura join the study group early since she's improving well in this story so getting her into the group is less awkward than in the anime and I added extra scenes after the dark past was told with Honami learning of it.
Also, I'm gonna plan Ayanokouji's birthday! Yes it'll be out in the next chapter. Can't wait to work on that!
