Chapter 4!

For those who might be confused with Munfurawa's switch up in this decision, it is essentially an idea of poor communication, and a fear of developing connections. Munfurawa associates being known to a bad thing, considering what happened to him in his adolescent, and being betrayed by others, including his own father.

So, the fear of developing connections is associated with his past trauma of being ostracized by his past community. With that said, he does wish for developing connections. In doing so, he doesn't want to be seen nor talked about, which is why he always wishes to be invisible or anonymous. He fears the repercussions of being well known, that can make him a target.

Despite being punched down by the world, he still helps it in his own ways. He has every right to lash out and become a villain but chooses to learn to make sure it doesn't happen again. He's not Ayanokouji, he's his own separate person who is paranoid about being exposed. But also like him, wanting to benefit from his actions.

I hope this covers some confusion one may have. Anyways here is chapter 4

Chapter 4: Fighting Expulsion Part 1

Flashback to 1st grade Munfurawa:

This dojo, that Munfurawa's father had signed him up to, was incredibly sketchy, for a lack of a better term.

That's because, of the sheer size of the building. One shouldn't have a building of this size in the middle or a rural setting. These types of buildings were more common and natural in a metropolis or suburban area on the mainland, not the outskirts of an island part of Japan…

As Munfurawa was signed into the program, he learned of the schedule. Six hours every day for five days a week…

After school, at 2. he was out until 8…

And we only did martial arts for two hours, the other four hours…

The more Munfurawa thought about at the time, this didn't seem like a simple dojo. It seemed very wicked inside the building.

"This kid is showing progress, especially to his view with others…" A strange, tall man cladded in a black suit mumbled.

"Then this program must be a huge success, then…" Makoto replied with, as Munfurawa was noticing the talk his sensei was having with this man.

The man clearly looked very potent, as if he was running something behind the scenes.

"Indeed, most of the other students have struggled, especially when seeing the role others can impact, how trust is such a futile concept…"

Makoto had a different view, "But didn't humans evolve to emphasize cooperation within our species?"

"Perhaps, but that's what these experiments are for. It is somewhat troublesome how there's only one child who is very promising…" The man continued, clearly pointing to a young Munfurawa.

"Why should I isolate my students? I'm only doing this because I'm close to your upper ranks, yet you haven't told me the purpose of your experiments." Makota pressed.

"We will need more time before we can tell you. For now, continue with the vigorous training methods. Have you also begun with the institutional trainings for their mental processes?"

Makota sighed, "I have yet to due to this being a new concept to me."

The man chuckled, "Very well, I was informed by the higher up to begin strenuous exam and assessments, so to create the strongest."

Makota nodded, "I am only doing this because of the deep respect I have towards the leader of this. Though it begs the question, why on an island?"

The man looked confused, "Excuse me?"

"If your central base is at the capital, why are your next extensions on a secluded island region of Japan, rather than the next populous area?" Makota explained in more detail.

"That is a good question," the black-clad man brought up, "You see, our institutions aren't exactly legal, and brought out to the public. We are in the experimental process of human testing. Of course, since this is a mostly tight-knit community, if we offered something that takes the children away from their parents indefinitely, the risk of an uproar is high."

Makota began to understand, "So that's why this institution runs for only six hours, to make it seem acceptable as a physical program or the likes."

The man nodded, "Yes, and that's why we also have members working on specific districts of this."

Makota sighed, "And how will these districts work?"

"The idea is simple, assess the children for their ranks. We will rank them based on their current abilities, then design them to improve their capabilities. With Rank I and descending going with decreasingly capable abilities. With each rank corresponds to how strenuous the training will become. That way, Japan can utilize the full potential of each generation." The black-cladded man chided to Makota, who sighed yet again.

"Very well."

Before Munfurawa knew it, he was put into Rank I, the top of the class, alongside only eight other fellow students, all of whom he had never talked to.

However, as he progressed, especially after the brief stint of delinquency he had, he noticed the slowly decreasing amount of students in his class. By the time he had reached grade four, he was all alone.

Then again, he never once talked to them, so in essence he was always alone.

He didn't care what others thought, all he cared about was getting through his life, benefitting in the process.

He always struggled communicating with others, and interestingly it seemed that sensei had brought him into the care of another man.

Said man was named ****** Tsukishiro, and he was a relatively well-built man, who apparently worked abroad as a military officer, and was a close associate with the main chairman of this institution. It was only natural that the most strenuous district would be run by an equally rough and experience person.

All this did, was reinforce his idea to remain in the shadows, while focusing on his academic, intellectually, and physical abilities.

He was the best within this building, increasing his hours, making it easier for them to train Munfurawa.

Third Person's POV:

Suzune Horikita was outright confused. When she had woken up the day after she and Ayanokouji had split the price of 50,000 private points each, just to get Sudo a passing grade on his English exams, she was expecting a somewhat low sum of private points to remain within her account.

However, to her shock. She had the exact same.

Looking at her account, she had seen that Chabashira had transferred her 50,000 private points sometime while she was sleeping.

Getting up to clean herself up, finally showering and putting on her uniform. Horikita was at a loss. She was sure that she had split the price to save Sudo from expulsion.

But the evidence and proof of this showcased as if nothing had happened. She was confused, was her transfer deemed illegal by the school, and thus Chabashira was forced to return the points she received?

Horikita sighed, she was at a loss. She wasn't even sure if Ayanokouji gained the same sum back to him.

She would grudgingly have to talk to either him, or Chabashira.

She had decided to head to class early, to talk to Chabashira alone. She did not want any interference nor notoriety within this. Horikita was at a loss, and felt that something was going on behind her back.

Much to her dismay, when she walked into the classroom, there was one student already in. He was at the corner close to the door of the room, seemingly looking at his study notes.

Horikita raised her eyebrow at him. She never really cared for the individual, until they had multiple meetings beforehand. At first, she thought he was a stalker, and the way he wore his uniform, wearing the long sleeve loosely around his waist rather than wearing it.

However, she eventually realized he was just another student, a loner, who didn't get himself involved in class drama. She remembers when she saw him seemingly approach her with some white clothing in his hands. She was somewhat scared of the way he seemed to have approached her. That is, until he took keys and opened his room, which was right next to hers.

So that mysterious boy and Ayanokouji were her next door roommates it seemed.

No, what really got her studying him a bit more, was his presence with her brother and Ayanokouji. He was wearing that all white suit, which she realized was a martial arts uniform. She and Ayanokouji had spotted him, and he stared back at the two of us.

There was no doubt in Horikita's mind that this person had witnessed the confrontations. She sighed, at least thankful he hadn't approached her to talk to her, or something. From what she gathered, he was incredibly quiet and antisocial. He was, by all means, a loner.

"Chabashira-san, may I have a word with you?" Horikita asked, seeing her homeroom teacher's look of shock.

"You're here early, Horikita…" Was all she said before she began to walk out of the classroom, back outside, once she had gotten Horikita's request.

"You seem confused." Chabashira mentioned, which she started once Horikita had closed the door.

"I am, I woke up this morning to find that I had regained the 50,000 private points I had paid to excuse Sudo's expulsion." Horikita stated, "If this is a mistake on your behalf, then does this mean Sudo will be expelled? Did the school find out and considered this illegal?"

Chabashira brought one of her cigars out and smoked, before answering, "Sudo will remain in my class, as he hasn't been expelled. In fact, nothing has happened. You and Ayanokouji had paid for the product."

This confused Horikita, if she and Ayanokouji paid properly, but had no evidence of the price they paid, then what happened. "Sensei, why do I still have the same amount of points then?"

Chabashira looked right into Horikita's eyes. It was through this look did Horikita get an idea, of how Chabashira herself was feeling. She looked somewhat intrigued and interested. A grin on her face as she seemed, excited?

"You see, the day you and Ayanokouji had come with the request to pay for a pass on Sudo's expulsion, another student from our class, had approached me, willing to pay the full price I had requested, to cancel Sudo's expulsion." Chabashira stated at last, the words clearly having an impact on Horikita.

"W-what…"

Chabashira continued, "Of course, I already told them they were too late, two students had already paid. However, they insisted they paid the full amount, to split it and give it to you. So technically, this student gifted both you and Ayanokouji 50,000 private points."

Horikita's brain already began to ponder at what she was given, "So you mean to tell me, there is a student in our classroom, who somehow had over 100,000 private points, willingly, but indirectly transfer them to us?"

Chabashira nodded, "In truth, I was shocked by the amount of private points they had. I hadn't thought of the possibility of someone from this class stacking up their private points, was clearly a smart student…"

Horikita looked at Chabashira, who looked conflicted.

"Is there something else?" Horikita asked, before Chabashira nodded.

"You will want to watch out for that student as well, when you are climbing to Class A…" Was all Chabashira said, before she checked her watch and head out, before Horikita could ask more.

This brought Horikita to even more questions. While she was given the answers she previously had, she know had more questions.

Who was that student who transferred her and Ayanokouji 50,000 each?

Who was the student who knew of their actions?

And why did the student have that much private points? She had saved up hers, and could barely make it to 100,000…

She was baffled, and clearly was at some predicament.

She began to sat down to her desk, as more students were present. She noticed Kushida hanging out with Ike, and Yamauchi, as well as Ayanokouji, and the mysterious boy alone.

Sighing, she approached Ayanokouji, and began to tell him of what Chabashira had told her.

"So, you're telling me, another student in this class knew of what he did to keep Sudo out of expulsion, and paid the whole thing to give us back our private points?" Ayanokouji reiterated, to confirm if that's what Horikita meant.

Which was confirmed when she nodded. "Affirmative, some student appears to be pulling some behind the scene strings…"

She watched as Ayanokouji merely pondered, "It does seem like that…" She could tell he was to an extent, not interested in this whatsoever.

She sighed, this student confused her, especially when Chabashira had put this student in a similar category as Ayanokouji.

She had refrained from informing Ayanokouji of Chabashira's suspicions against him. At the moment, Horikita had no incentive to bring it up. When the time became proper, then she found.

But for now, she had to focus.

For Ayanokouji, he was somewhat suspicious. A student in this class figuring out their plans, and even outplaying them to render their sacrifice worthless, it seemed very strange.

Even if one was eavesdropping, there was no way they had the amount to fulfill that price. For someone in their class to, they must be incredibly smart. And they were within their class…

Ayanokouji pondered, if someone was this smart to be able to notice these issues, then me may be in for some trouble regarding this student.

He sighed, deciding to take a bit of time to relax.

Once again, Munfurawa had managed to evade suspicions from his classmates and specific targets, whom he helped.

His invisibility came when he needed the most. Now he could just relax. He felt some form of sympathy for Sudo, when he realized the threat of expulsion. Still, he did question why he had helped all of them without anything.

He'll never know, it seems, as he continued in his studies, not really keeping tabs of what's going around him.

Eventually, when he went to grab some lunch, a petite girl with a cane stared him down from a distance.

"Munfurawa…" Sakayanagi mumbled as she stared at the clear enigma to her. He clearly had untapped potential that he either didn't show, or needed persuasion for.

Of course, what made her intrigued more, was his skills that the school had recorded. Having an F in cooperativeness just felt foreign. As if it was never possible.

Of course beside that one skill, she felt more potential from him. His overall personality seemed to match with another interesting boy.

However, where with Ayanokouji she had an idea of where he was from, and his upbringing, Munfurawa was more mysterious.

In many ways, she reminded her of Ayanokouji. Despite the two never interacting with each other, they had a lot of similarities that could be the result of their upbringings.

She had no doubt that the boy was smart. He certainly brought himself up like he was one, not to mention his test scores eerily mimic that of Ayanokouji's precision to be as average as possible.

Then, there was his interactions with Ryūen. She hadn't even expected to see another person involved that day, but regardless there was. And man was she glad to have met Munfurawa.

Seeing what was supposed to be an unfortunate timing for the individual became interesting when the boy had defended himself even up against Ryūen's goons of bodyguards.

She had remembered his reluctance when she would approach him.

While she wouldn't appreciate those who look down on her, she liked the difficulty Munfurawa was giving her. He really was a unique and mysterious person she wanted to crack open.

Still, the name Munfurawa did sound not too foreign. Almost like she had heard the name before. She would need to check into her information for quite some times, before she could find specific information about this boy.

For now, however, observing his capabilities would be of interest to her. It was clear, that similar to Ayanokouji, he hid a lot of secrets. But the question remained, if Munfurawa hadn't been in the white room, what made him this superior?

Munfurawa seeming looked the way Sakayanagi was, and his eyes stared at her for a bit before he went on his way. He clearly seemed unfazed, but she knew that behind that mask laid a empathetic and possibly human character.

Unless he went through the white room then it was possible. He just sucked at communication.

She sighed, watching one of the few students she wanted to keep tabs on.

As Munfurawa went back to his class, it began to feel like a schedule. Something he was taught to prioritize. While he also was taught the occasional fluency needed in the case things didn't go the right way, he was somewhat fluent in that sense.

Regardless once this was over, right over to the martial arts club he went.

Azuma had, true to her words, began polishing her techniques and sparring more seriously. Munfurawa had appreciated the work and dedication she was showing. However, she was still being beaten by Munfurawa, so he recommended she fought others her skill gap.

Obviously upset, she conceded and went her own way. Munfurawa could only look on with no expression as he continued on his own.

As Munfurawa began to head back to his dorm, he caught something interesting going on. It was something within the air of the school.

For some unusual reason, the school atmosphere felt off. Munfurawa couldn't really pin it well, however what he could theorize was that something was happening with the intention that no one was around.

It wasn't until he noticed a figure, looking towards a hall, camera in her hand. It seems like she was recording, her pose typical for any normal person to figure out. Munfurawa shrugged, if someone was taking the evidence this time, he didn't need to.

However, he did to an extent know this was going to happen.

Brief Flashback…

"So, Sudou…" One of the goons working for the delinquent stated, Ishizaki.

"Yes, the boss ordered us to get in an altercation with the angered boy, making Class 1-D look bad. That way we will not have them interfering with out advances…" Komiya mumbled back. However, Munfurawa could clearly hear what was going on. He looked to see the camera facing them, blinking red.

That was perfect, Munfurawa thought, all he needed to do was infiltrate the security room, and he had the receipts.

"Sudo would be the easiest to irritate and pick a fight with." Ishizaki replied with, and the other two agreed.

It was unfortunate the camera did not get Ryūen, however getting the three talking about their alleged plans days before they enact it was strong evidence.

"So the plan the boss mentioned, was the lead one out of the area, and accuse of assault…" Kondō reiterated to the group, who nodded.

They then peaked behind them and flinched slightly when they found Munfurawa listening. He had positioned himself just out the camera's peripheral and outermost view, backing up to get the deliquents in the middle. Of course, Ryūen managed to complicate matters slightly, but the act was still there.

He still had the receipts.

He had evidence of three classmates from Class C, visible and communicating on their upcoming plans to accuse someone of assault. Heck, they were even saying the name of the person they most likely found capable of falling for their trap.

Once Munfurawa was in the clear, he had gone back to his class like nothing had happened.

However, he had everything he wanted with them. Once he snuck into the security room, thanking his invisible status in the school for the fact that no one got suspicious. Of course, the cameras that took him up approaching, he had cut the specific sections.

He was at risk of being caught, but he was willing to do so, if it meant he had evidence to use against others.

With his objective finished, he had gone to his club, then finally his dorm, acting like nothing had happened.

I'm general, while security would be looked at, they aren't interested in any signs leading up to the altercation, rather the altercation itself.

The Next Day…

Munfurawa had asked himself, could he use that to his advantage?

That question was answered, the next day, when Chabashira had announced to the class that their private point weekly gain was delayed due to three students pressing assault complaints to Sudo.

"I'm afraid the classes private points gain has been delayed this week due to conflict…" Chabashira started, before staring directly at Sudo. "Sudo, it appears you have gotten yourself in a fight with three students from Class C."

Immediately after that announcement, everyone within the classroom also turned their eyes onto Sudo. Some of horror, some of disappointment, some in disgust, while a few others remained stoic and calculated.

Munfurawa fell in the last category.

"I didn't do that!" Sudo snapped himself up, his face full of angry, "Those bastards set me up! They led me to the special building, where they attacked me! I protected myself, self-defense!"

Chabashira sighed, "As much as I would like to believe you, all three students have injuries across their torso to back up their claims."

Sudo paled in realization, "I swear, it was self-defense, they're all lairs! Liars!" He clearly was getting angry, when Horikita got up.

"Sudo, denying them will do nothing. Regardless of your actions, we will need to find a way to pursue this incident. As you can see, your actions have impacted the entire class. You have brought everyone into this." Horikita bluntly stated, clearly upset with the circumstances they were in.

"B-But-" Sudo was faltering, it seemed Horikita's cold attitude was perfectly conflicting with Sudo's fiery and rage-induced aura at the moment.

Munfurawa could only look on, before staring briefly at the girl he had seen yesterday, looking scared at the predicament, but also seemingly taking photos.

Airi Sakura.

As Chabashira continued with the details, such as the fact every other class would know about the incident, student, and teacher. It wasn't until Chabashira asked the class if anyone witnessed or had substantial evidence of the situation.

Munfurawa looked at Airi Sakura, if she would do anything.

She kind of did. She noticeably flinched, her face looking down. Munfurawa could predict her face was full of guilt and nervousness. She definitely brought herself to be the nervous type.

He looked onwards, and knew of the consequences this may have. He did have the recording to prove they planned this, but he had his reasons to not immediately show it.

Mostly because of his selfishness. He didn't want to become known, but wanted some small benefits.

As he pondered, he looked at Horikita and Ayanokouji. Munfurawa immediately knew they were going to be the ones to do all the detective work. Predicting this, he knew that they may find some evidence in Sakura.

As a result, he himself knew of the eventual actions.

Chabashira had mentioned that a council meeting would occur between Class C and Class D, to explain evidence, testify, and the likes. Pretty much like a judge.

The more Munfurawa thought about it, the more he could predict how others would react. As he pondered, he knew of his desires to get as much information as possible, without being noticed.

Thankfully, Munfurawa had the perfect idea. Sort of like blackmail.

Getting up for lunch, Munfurawa quickly wrote his email address on a scrap piece of paper with tape, so that he could purposely bump into one of the delinquents, and then blackmail them.

As he looked around, he spotted someone he didn't want to see right now: Sakayanagi.

"Well, it's nice to see you, considering the conflict that is happening right now, fufufufufu…" Sakayanagi started, and Munfurawa was not in the mood.

"Listen, I seriously cannot spend time talking right now, I have important matters to attend to." Munfuruawa quickly replied, walking away from Sakayanagi, before she said something that made him stop.

"It has to do with the assault case before Class C and Class D. I didn't know you were the type to be involved in class drama, Munfurawa-kun." Sakayanagi called out to him with confidence.

The realization that Arisu Sakayangi knew his name terrified him. It was enough to make the hair on his arms stand up. He turned around, and only then noticed she was accompanied by someone else.

Munfurawa did not pay any attention to the other girl, as he focused solely on Sakayanagi.

"I should introduce you to my classmate, this is Masumi Kamuro." Sakayanagi motioned herself to the figure right next to her.

By his quick view of her, she was taller than Sakayanagi, but not as tall as himself, with thigh-length purple hair. Even then, he could tell from her eyes that she had a more serious expression. Whereas Sakayanagi was more cunning in her approach to Munfurawa, Kamuro seemed more blunt, similar to Horikita.

He merely nodded to Kamuro, acknowledging her presence, before his gaze went straight back to Sakayanagi. He was merely focused on his goal, and Sakayanagi had done something to strike a core.

While the idea of someone knowing his name may not seem that significant, Sakayanagi was the first person to call him by his name in this building. Sure, perhaps the teachers and directors have called him by his name, but no student had until now.

"Anyways, as much as you have questions, the fact is this incident is impacting everyone. I must do something…" Munfurawa reiterated, which made Sakayanagi sigh.

"Very well, it was nice talking to you again, Munfurawa-kun…" Sakayanagi motioned, and Munfurawa nodded before he went out.

He doesn't know why, but her use of the honorific, kun, did not sit well with him.

Regardless, he had a thought and mission.

For this to happen however, he realized something.

Class C had reasonable enough evidence to fulfill their accusations. Class D, however, had none.

He sighed, realizing a quick error in his plans. If Class D could not find out any evidence for the council meeting to occur, then his plan would fail.

Before he knew it, he went back to his classroom. He needed to do something. He then suddenly had an idea.

He had seen the look Masumi Kamuro had given him. Despite her cold and serious look, she did seem intrigued by him.

Perhaps if he could find her, he could open a front for Class D.

Then again, maybe Ayanokouji and Horikita would find it out, but considering the time for the council meeting, at this rate, he needed to convince Sakura to reveal her evidence.

Pondering, he spotted the two teenage girls.

"U-umm…" Munfurawa mumbled and stuttered. It was really a long time since he had approached people, no less girls.

Sakayanagi smirked, "This is a surprise, approaching us?"

Munfurawa sighed, "Ugh I'm so bad at doing this…" He turned away, avoiding the faces of the girls he approached. "I need your help."

This seemed to surprise both of them. "And why should we help you?" Kamuro asked, seemingly very skeptical.

Munfurawa sighed, "I have an idea on helping Class D with the incident. I have some receipts regarding someone pertaining evidence."

Kamuro and Sakayanagi looked onto the mysterious loner in intrigue.

"So, what's your idea?" Sakayanagi asked, clearly intrigued to what Munfurawa was planning.

Munfurawa put his hand to his chin, as he talked, "Let's just say I have receipts with someone from class D having evidence as to what actually happened at the special building on that day. In order for my plan to work, I will need to persuade the class into some advice. In particular, I'll need someone to paste this small paper onto the shoulder of Sudo."

Sakayanagi and Kamuro looked on at Munfurawa in confusion. "Why do you want that?"

"Because otherwise the council meeting will be cancelled against Class D's favour. I need to persuade them into this, otherwise our class could drop out." Munfurawa explained.

"So what's you plan after the meeting?" Kamuro asked, and Munfurawa looked straight in her eyes.

Kamuro seemingly flinched at the somewhat dead look Munfurawa was giving her, his mismatched irises making it somewhat creepier. "Just leave that to me and Class D."

Kamuro sighed, "Then how about you just bump into Sudo."

Munfurawa shook his head, "That will not do. He will take that as an act of aggression, and subsequently pick another fight, which is what we don't want. If a girl were to bump into him, it would provide the perfect distraction for them to get the note taped to his shoulder."

Munfurawa exhaled, finally telling them his request, "I need Kamuro to be that person."

Kamuro looked weirded out, "And why is it me?"

Munfurawa again looked at Kamuro, "Because you're pretty enough. Boys like Sudo won't care and may appreciate and become immobilized if a pretty enough girl bumps into them. If a boy bumped into them, they may lash out. I understand that thought may be sexist, but it's a fact."

Kamuro looked at Munfurawa with a flushed expression. Had he just in the most smooth way she had ever know, called her pretty?! Turning to Sakayanagi, who was just listening to everything, she sighed.

"I'll do it…" Was all Kamuro said at last, much to Munfurawa's content.

"Thank you, I appreciate it." Munfurawa nodded, giving her the piece of paper.

To: Ken Sudo, and other parties involved in his defense.

From: Tokumei.

Here's a piece of advice, for pursuing your innocence in the assault case between you and the three accusers: Daichi Ishizaki, Kyōgo Komiya, and Reo Kondō of Class 1-C. A student from you class was there at the scene of the event, with sufficient evidence. Her name is Airi Sakura, a shy and nervous girl who may be hesitant to get herself involved. She is known for her glasses and pink hair.

Therefore, when you inevitably approach her, proceed with caution. You must not scare her away into further isolation. In particular, if Sudo is to be the one to approach her, be as calm as you can be, do not pressure her, and if she asks how, reply with you saw her running off. Of course, you can also find evidence such as the lack of cameras within the special building, and any potential tracks leading up to the event.

My anonymous email is given below, message me if you are stuck, and I will respond to the best of my abilities. Considering I have helped you previously, with your almost near-expulsion due to almost failing your English midterm, I assure you I can be trusted.

Cheers, Tokumei…

With Kamuro displaying the paper in her hand, the tape properly on, she gave a nod, before approaching me.

"I will need your email address so I can message you." Kamura bluntly stated, and Munfurawa realized.

Considering she knew who he was, he decided to give her his personal email.

"Here you go…" Munfurawa handed his phone over to Kamura, who seemed shocked at how laid back he was about giving a girl his phone.

"Ara ara, you're not going to let me gain access to your email, Munfurawa-kun?" Sakayanagi taunted, which made Munfurawa clench his arms slightly, especially when realizing Kamura was giving Sakayanagi his email address.

This was not good, but what could he do. He did not expect these two girls to be his first official contacts, all because of a class incident he didn't know why he got himself involved in.

Sighing, he merely nodded thanks before heading out, spotting Sudo grumbling as he made his way to the cafeteria.

Munfurawa looked behind smoothly, making sure Kamura was doing what he had asked.

Sighing, he merely went back to the room, where he listened to the class mumble insults to Sudo, while Horikita and Ayanokouji no doubt, were interrogating everyone.

Perhaps they might be able to find out they have evidence sooner than he thought.

He got a small vibration in his pocket, which slightly made him tense. He looked at his phone, noticing Kamura had texted him, saying she had done it.

Just as he expected, Sudo had gone inside, looking at Horikita and Ayanokouji with somewhat excited tone. He secretly pointed to Sakura, before motion for them to come out the class quickly.

Almost comically dragging them out, he got a message from Sudo's email, saying thank you in all caps.

It seemed, by their expression, that they already had their suspicions on Sakura, it seemed that the note had only given them the confirmation, alongside an email to Munfurawa's private email for advice.

This would be a nice way to communicate with others in this class without his identity being known.

Now that this part of the plan was done, he now needed to do his other strategy.

He texted Kamura yet again, asking for another request.

Munfurawa: I need to hand you another note to stick onto someone.

Kamura: What is with you and sticking notes onto people?!

Munfurawa: I don't know, it just fits with me, but will you do it after classes today?

Kamura: I have art club today, but if we meet early, then I can.

Munfurawa: Perfect, this note will be needed to be put on either Daichi Ishizaki, Kyōgo Komiya, or Reo Kondō.

Kamura: sigh, of course… alright, but I better get a reward from this.

Munfurawa: What reward?

Kamura: I don't know, perhaps some private points?

Munfurawa: I cannot, the situation we are in I cannot afford to recklessly give away these points. I can however treat you to some food if you want.

Kamura: Is that your attempt at asking me out on a date?!

Munfurawa: What's a date? You mean the time?

Kamura: You cannot be serious…

Munfurawa: I am, I can offer to buy us both food some time…

Kamura: alright fine… I still can't believe you don't know what a date is.

Munfurawa: I just told you, it's a specific time of the year.

Kamura: …

With that out of the way, he got started on his note.

To: Daichi Ishizaki, Kyōgo Komiya, or Reo Kondō.

From: Tokumei.

To whoever this is given to. Send a message to my email address given below. I have important information regarding the recent incident happening around Class C and Class D. If you tell your boss, Ryūen, or anyone else about this note, I will distribute the video. If you do not want that, you will message me when you get this note. I will show you the video, and you will do as I say. With that being said, I will not distribute the video if you follow what I ask you to do.

Cheers, Tokumei

With the message finished, he would give it to Kamura, who would bump into one of the boys he had written this to. Of course, he had also told Kamura of the three boys she could pin the note to.

With that he began to head off to his club. Of course, before he could, he got another couple of messages from his phone.

The small vibrating tick he would receive to notify him felt weird, but he digressed.

The first was from Kamura, who told him she had pinned the note to Daichi Ishizaki.

The second, however, was from Sudo, through his Tokumei account.

Sudo: Help. Kushida, Horikita, Ayanokouji and I accidentally ruined Sakura's camera. Her camera won't start up, what do I do? I feel so bad. She's my only chance at remaining here, and I already screwed up.

Tokumei: There is an electronic store around the area, you and Sakura accompany each other to fix it.

Sudo: Oh right, thanks.

After Munfurawa's martial arts practice was done, he received yet another text from Sudo.

Sudo: So Sakura and I went to the electronic store, and the clerk looked very weird to Sakura. Regarding Sakura, we also found something out about her.

Tokumei: And what is that?

Sudo: I was insistent on letting Sakura go on her own, but she begged me to stay around her, saying she feared for her life. I brought Kushida with us as well. At least her camera was fixed.

Tokumei: So what did you find out about her, then?

Sudo: Oh right, later Ayanokouji, Horikita and I looked over her profile, turns out she's a gravure idol, and she has a lot of disgusting comments…

Tokumei: Oh wow… I wasn't expecting that…

Sudo: Me neither. Ayanokouji suspects the clerk knows her true self.

Tokumei: Well, if she is scared for her well being, then I think protecting her would be of your best interests.

Sudo: Protecting her?

Tokumei: Yes, for once use your strength to protect those you value. Not just for unnecessary aggression.

Sudo: You're right… Alright, I'll protect Sakura to the best of my abilities. She thanked me and said I wasn't that bad of a person… She said she trusts me and will stand up for me…

Tokumei: Good. The council meeting is tomorrow, hope it goes well.

Munfurawa sat down, in his dorm, when he got the chime of another message.

Geez, how popular was he all of a sudden. This also came from his Tokumei account.

Ishizaki: I texted you, now show me the proof.

Tokumei: Of course. ******.mp4

Ishizaki: … Shit…

Tokumei: That's right, I have video evidence of you three orchestrating and planning your attack on Sudo.

Ishizaki: This is bad, what are your demands? To drop the case?

Tokumei: Well, that wouldn't be fun, right? Instead, record the meeting tomorrow.

Ishizaki: What…"

Tokumei: Weren't expecting to receive a request like that? Well you better take it before I get bored and accidentally distribute that video.

Ishizaki: No! Wait! I'll do it. I'll send it to you after the meeting…

Tokumei: Also, send me 25,000 private points. If you cannot afford them, split it with your other delinquents.

Ishizaki: What… fine…

Tokumei: Pleasure doing business with you :]

Ishizaki: …

Munfurawa looked at his phone, with confidence radiating around him. He had just made it back to his dorm, and could hear the commotion around just outside.

He was only one dorm: Horikita's, separated from Ayanokouji's, where they seemed to group up.

As for who, judging from the voices, they were Sudo, Horikita, Ayanokouji, and Sakura.

Munfurawa did his best to eavesdrop and heard more interesting stuff. Mainly regarding preparations for the upcoming student council meeting. With Ishizaki secretly going to record the meeting, Munfurawa would have easy access to the information of the meeting.

Eventually, he heard two footsteps. One was quiet, slow, and erratic, as if they were nervous. The other was rather loud, bolstering and in thought. He could tell from them the footstep rhythm, that they were Sudo and Sakura.

"Can I…" Judging from the surprisingly calm and quiet voice, it was Sudo.

"Y-yeah?" Sakura asked, not understanding what the boy wanted.

"Can I get your email address, so we could message each other? I feel I will need you for the upcoming days…" Sudo at last stated, which surprised Munfurawa a bit, at how calm and collected he could be sometimes.

"Oh! Uh, I mean sure, but…" Sakura mumbled.

"It's fine, take it easy…" Sudo was clearly sounding awkward, clearly not knowing how to handle this type of girl. Still it seemed that he was trying the advice Munfurawa had given him.

"I want to share locations, I fear for my safety, since you are strong, I can trust you, right?" Sakura asked meagerly to which Sudo sighed.

"I can, but in this situation, I don't want to bring more violence…" Sudo mumbled, but clearly stated he would do what he could.

"Thank you…" Sakura gratefully replied before they left.

Such a strange duo, he had expected Horikita to berate Sudo sternly almost about how to act in the meeting, but that wasn't the case. Instead, he was walking awkwardly with a quiet, nervous girl.

Munfurawa pondered, as he checked his phone for any message Sudo gave. He noticed that he was given the 25,000 private points for his own benefit. For now, it seemed that nothing major would happen until the day of the meeting.

Once the day came, he was immediately given the recording of what was going on by Ishizaki. Putting on his Bluetooth headphone, he began listening to the live stream, only he was given access to.

As he listened, he heard a knock from his door. Surprised that someone was knocking at his door, he opened it, to see someone looking at him seriously.

"Munfurawa." Kamura looked at the loner in the eyes, recoiling when she realized the mismatched colours they were again.

"Yes, Kamura?" Munfurawa asked, seemingly unfazed by the serious cold glare the girl was giving him.

"Considering the circumstances, let's get lunch." Kamura bluntly stated.

"Huh…" Was all Munfurawa could respond before he found himself being brought outside to some areas they could eat.

Munfurawa sighed a bit in annoyance at being dragged by a girl to eat. However, at least she wasn't with Sakayangi…

Thankfully, he was still able to hear the recording that Ishizaki was livestreaming now. It also seemed that they were done for today and would continue tomorrow, meaning Munfurawa was stuck with just talking to Kamura.

He then texted Ishizaki, making sure to continue the livestream when they continued.

So far, Class D wasn't looking well. It appeared that despite Sakura's evidence, it had failed to assist Class D, leaving it to Ayanokouji, Horikita, and Sudo to defend Class D.

The main point they seemed to focus on, was the lack of cameras within the area, and the fact that Ishizaki was a delinquent in his middle school. Thus if they all were fighting, getting beaten up that severely wouldn't have been possible.

"So, why did you make me do it?" Kamura asked suddenly.

"You mean bumping into them to stick the stickers to them? Munfurawa asked, gathering a nod from Kamura, which then he continued, "It's very simple, I have my own evidence to prove Class D's innocence. I'm merely giving them the push they need to solve this conflict."

"Then why don't you just, testify on your own?" Kamura asked bluntly, not getting Munfurawa.

"I don't want attention, to be in the limelight. There are already people testifying for our class, I'm just contributing by giving them the information." Munfurawa calmly stated.

Kamura looked at Munfurawa, "You're weird, you know that?"

Munfurawa nodded, "I get that a lot, is it because of my eyes?"

"Yes," Kamura stated before comedically recoiling, "I mean not that specifically! I mean, why does Sakayanagi have an interest in you…"

"Interest in me?"

Kamura nodded, "She says she think she knows you…"

Munfurawa pondered, he had never seen her before, so it probably was just a coincidence, "I'm sure it's a mere coincidence, I wouldn't worry too much…"

Kamura stared at him, before nodding, "Very well."

Munfurawa then got a notification from Ishizaki, indicating that the livestream would continue tomorrow.

Tokumei: Make sure you livestream tomorrow's meeting as well.

Ishizaki: Got it, I hear you, I sent the 25,000 points you wanted.

Tokumei: Thank you, pleasure to do business :]

He noticed that he and Kamura had been eating together for around thirty minutes.

"Well, I should go, and see if Sakayanagi needs my assistance, being a major assistance in the council, she wasn't in the meeting for what I know." Kamura stated, getting up.

Sighing, Munfurawa already planned his next course in his strategy. It did involve going to the same building as Kamura.

Making his way to the building with Kamura, he then noticed the commotion that was going on, between the group.

Sakura, Sudo, Ayanokouji, and Horikita or Class D was talking to Nagumo and the elder Horikita.

However, Munfurawa couldn't let what he saw go to waste. Taking his phone, out he took a photo of the elder brother, Horikita, kabedoning Ayanokouji.

The camera flash and the noise, catching the eyes of everyone, Kamura looking at Munfurawa in confusion. Speaking of cameras, Munfurawa was thankful he had the dummy cameras he could use and put in the special building.

It seemed however, with his action just now, he would have to wait a bit.

A.N / Well here's the next chapter for Night Flower. The next chapter will be more dramatic compared to the recent chapters. In general, Munfurawa is taking a more direct role in the conflicts, but he still desires a way of animosity.

So far, he really only noticed by five people. Chabashira, Sakayanagi and Munabe Horikita, for their skepticism on Munfurawa's potential. Then, there's Azuma and Kamura, who are probably the closest to friends. Kamura he went out with for a lunch date.

So Kamura is the first girl he went out with folks. While Azuma is his first friend. Munfurawa does not consider Sakayangi his friend.

Anyways see you next time.
