No one should have noticed, right?
The atmosphere between Fang Li and Ayanokoji Kiyotaka had changed somewhat.
It was neither heavy nor oppressive, merely a feeling akin to silence.
The reason was simple.
"Have you already identified all of Class D's Favored Ones?"
Fang Li was genuinely surprised by this.
Even he had only confirmed two Favored Ones.
One was Kushida Kikyo.
Through Hirata Yosuke, Fang Li had learned that the girl was the Favored One of the Dragon Group.
The other was Karuizawa Kei.
Fang Li had noticed that through direct observation.
But he had no clue whatsoever about the remaining person.
The Favored One of the Horse Group whom Ayanokoji Kiyotaka had mentioned, someone named Minami, was merely a very ordinary student in Class D.
Fang Li had not known that this person was the Favored One of the Horse Group.
Yet Ayanokoji Kiyotaka had confirmed it in less than half a day, even identifying Class D's other two Favored Ones. That surprised Fang Li somewhat.
If it was Kushida Kikyo and Karuizawa Kei, Fang Li could understand.
Kushida Kikyo had shared her identity from the start. The reason was probably that she did not want this matter to become leverage that could damage her relationships with those around her.
If people learned that Kushida Kikyo had concealed her Favored One identity instead of sharing it with the class, those whom Kushida Kikyo regarded as "friends" would surely harbor misgivings.
Kushida Kikyo would not let that happen.
In that case, revealing her identity to the class seemed like the natural choice.
And since Fang Li could learn about it from Hirata Yosuke, naturally others could as well.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka had probably learned that Kushida Kikyo was the Favored One of the Dragon Group that way, right?
