Disappointing D Class

(PS: Image shows Horikita Suzune.)

"My name is Tenyo Yuyuki. Pleased to meet you."

Tenyo Yuyuki said with a smile, "You two seem pretty close. Were you friends at your old school?"

It seemed that Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, Horikita Suzune, Kushida Kikyo, and that annoying Kouenji Rokusuke had already had some kind of incident on the bus.

The two in front of him were already acquainted with each other.

Horikita Suzune lifted her head to glance at Tenyo Yuyuki, then slowly lowered her gaze back to the book in her hands.

She finally said coolly, "Making a judgment based on a single sentence—I can only call that judgment extremely shallow. Seeing me and this socially impaired person next to me and still saying the word 'friend'—my personal suggestion is that you go to the infirmary and get your eyes checked."

That's harsh... Ayanokoji Kiyotaka couldn't help turning to look at Horikita. Socially impaired person—she wasn't talking about him, was she? Even if it was true, that was going too far.

Tenyo Yuyuki's smile didn't waver. This response hadn't surprised him.

Horikita Suzune, the younger sister of third-year Student Council President Horikita Manabu.

This beautiful girl, skilled in both literary and martial arts and outstanding in her grades, was a complete brother-con.

As a result, this immensely talented beauty had an extremely narrow field of vision when it came to viewing things, lacking empathy in interpersonal dealings and any sense of teamwork.

She believed herself superior to any of her peers, had misunderstood Horikita Manabu's aloofness, and liked to arbitrarily decide that others were nothing but obstacles, kicking them straight aside.

Tenyo Yuyuki half-jokingly said, "That's pretty harsh, you know. You'll never find a boyfriend like that."

"It doesn't matter. I don't care about those things either."

Horikita Suzune finally looked up at the Tenyo Yuyuki before her, her voice somewhat cold as she said, "I entered this school with conviction. If you want to build good relations with the people around you, go find someone else. Don't bother me."

With that, Horikita Suzune lowered her head to look at the book in her hands. Tenyo Yuyuki naturally wasn't going to make a fool of himself by continuing the conversation.

Tenyo Yuyuki then turned his head to look at Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, offering a friendly smile.

Ayanokoji kept his expression still, but inside his mind was racing, desperately thinking about how to act like an ordinary high school student.

Should he introduce himself? Would that come off as too overly familiar? Would it clash with the Avoidance Principle persona he had set for himself? What if Horikita saw through him? If his lie was exposed, he'd be labeled a 'liar.' Would that further arouse suspicion from Horikita and Tenyo, leading them to discover his abilities, and then make the whole class suspicious?

A series of questions flashed rapidly through Ayanokoji's mind, only to be quickly dismissed.

Still, since this guy named Tenyo Yuyuki had actively looked over at him, it would be more reasonable for the other party to speak first, right? It wouldn't seem unnatural. That way, he could make his first friend!

Ayanokoji looked at Tenyo Yuyuki with a hint of expectation. Then, he watched as Tenyo Yuyuki turned around directly, without giving him another glance.

"???"

No... Ayanokoji was a bit stunned inside.

Was this how all high school students were these days? Then why had he smiled at him just now? Or was there something wrong with his outfit?

Had everything he learned in the White Room been wrong?

Were ordinary high school students actually like Horikita, Tenyo Yuyuki, and that Kouenji guy? Was there something wrong with society...

Ayanokoji reflected on his past experiences in his mind.

Tenyo Yuyuki didn't think that far ahead. He had zero interest in Ayanokoji.

This sole successful case from the White Room.

Having possessed extraordinary talent since childhood, he had been locked away in the White Room by his father as an experimental subject, subjected to extremely harsh controlled education.

It had to be said that Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, as the only successful case, was indeed very successful.

Many years of controlled education had erased any feelings of disgust toward the White Room within Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, even stripping him of his emotions toward the world, leaving only curiosity and the joy of learning and growth.

It was simply because he felt he could no longer grow within the White Room that he had eventually escaped with the help of a caretaker.

Also through the caretaker's introduction, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka had come to this school.

A person without emotions like that could not be controlled.

At the same time.

Tenyo Yuyuki was also very clear on the reason he had been assigned to D Class. He was somewhat similar to Ayanokoji Kiyotaka—lacking the ability to trust others.

Toward this school, Tenyo Yuyuki felt only faint disdain.

The world was always about strength above all, interests above all.

Unlike Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, Tenyo Yuyuki had desires. He longed to inherit the Tenyo Family and control the entire Sakurajima.

"All new students, return to your seats."

Just then, accompanied by the clatter of high heels, a lightly mature beauty dressed in a black silk hip-wrapped professional attire, with a neat single ponytail, walked in from the door.

The noisy classroom instantly fell silent. The students hurried back to their seats. For students who had just graduated middle school, the identity of 'teacher' still carried considerable authority.
