As Ayanokoji released Horikita Manabu's arm, Horikita Manabu used the arm he had just grabbed to strike at Ayanokoji. But Ayanokoji managed to react, leaning his upper body back slightly to dodge the attack. Seeing this, Horikita Manabu pursued with a kick towards Ayanokoji's head, but Ayanokoji's waist was very flexible, and he dodged again by twisting in the opposite direction.

"You really can't judge a book by its cover, both of them." Konoe drank a large gulp of juice, watching excitedly.

Horikita Manabu was clearly surprised as well. After showing a confused expression, he jumped back a few steps to control the distance and attacked Ayanokoji again with his right hand.

Ayanokoji lowered his waist and blocked Horikita Manabu's attack with his left palm.

"Nice moves, did you learn something?" Horikita Manabu stopped attacking and asked.

"I learned piano and calligraphy."

"Are you also from Class D? Suzune, this man is quite special."

"Unlike Horikita, I'm pretty useless."

"Suzune, I really didn't expect you to have friends, to be honest, I'm very surprised."

"He... isn't my friend, just a classmate."

"It seems you're still the same, unable to distinguish between arrogance and loneliness. And you, your name is Ayanokoji, right? With you around, things might get a little more interesting."

With that, Horikita Manabu walked past Ayanokoji and disappeared into the shadows: "If you want to advance your class, struggle desperately. There is no other way."

Konoe, having learned his lesson today, didn't wait for Ayanokoji and left directly.

"It's you, Konoe-kun." Horikita Manabu's voice came from behind.

"Ah, Horikita-senpai, is there something you need?" Konoe replied flawlessly, determined not to yield no matter what the other party said.

Thinking about it, Horikita Manabu had left from the opposite exit, not in the same direction as he was going. Konoe's mouth twitched.

"Hmph... drinking your beverage so loudly, did you really think no one could hear you? If you want to hide, hide properly... though for you, it's fine. Also... come to the Student Council for an interview this weekend. I won't send anyone to notify you."

"As you command, President." A drop of cold sweat ran down Konoe's forehead, and he unconsciously hid the juice in his hand behind him.

Horikita Manabu patted Konoe's shoulder and then left.

"So many things happened today... I really worked hard."

Konoe finally returned to the dormitory. After sending Ayanokoji a text message, he fell into a deep sleep without waiting for a reply.
