It was soon time for classes to end and school to be dismissed. As Akasaka stood up, preparing to head to the Student Council, Ayanokoji stopped him.

Ayanokoji looked at Akasaka calmly. "You're going to help Horikita."

"Huh?" I couldn't help but point at myself in confusion.

"You want me to help Horikita? On what grounds?"

"On the grounds that you sold me out. You're the one who made Chabashira-sensei pay attention to me, right?"

Akasaka was instantly silenced. He had indeed done it, and he couldn't refute it.

At the same time, he believed he couldn't hide anything from Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, but he hadn't expected him to find out so quickly. This had truly caught him off guard.

Ayanokoji looked at Akasaka calmly. Akasaka helplessly shrugged his shoulders and had no choice but to agree. He then called Horikita Manabu to ask for leave.

When Horikita Manabu learned that it was to assist his Sister, he readily agreed without hesitation. He also requested a few extra days of leave for himself, fearing he wouldn't have enough time.

Akasaka was speechless. "You people are all making unreasonable demands."

Horikita brought three people, plus Kato Megumi.

The main reason was Kato Megumi's low presence. Apart from Akasaka, everyone else subconsciously ignored her.

Horikita led the three to the cafeteria. Besides eating, it was also to discuss what to do next.

Ayanokoji took this opportunity to suggest, "We need to find a way to stabilize morale. If we want them to acknowledge Horikita, we must achieve something."

Akasaka also pondered. "That's true. Most people in Class D don't respect Horikita."

"If we want them to acknowledge Horikita's leadership, we must find a way to prove it with actions to shut them up."

Kato looked quite innocent.

"Why do I have to be dragged into this too?"

Horikita and Ayanokoji were both stunned.

"You're here too, Kato-san, x2."

Kato sighed. "Forget it... I'm used to it..."

Ayanokoji's face, usually calm and undisturbed, was inwardly filled with shock.

This girl named Kato, I didn't sense her presence beside me at all today. What kind of skill is this?

I really want to learn it...

If I had this skill, I could live a normal person's life.

Ayanokoji, fumbling at his chin.

Would I be discovered if I went to the women's bathhouse?

Kato's calm eyes rippled slightly as she looked at the pensive Ayanokoji.

"Please don't think such dirty thoughts. Going to the women's bathhouse is wrong."

Ayanokoji's pupils instantly dilated.

How is this possible? She sensed what I was thinking...

Kato's gaze was calm as she met the equally calm gaze of Ayanokoji Kiyotaka before her.

Their eyes met, and Kato had once again guessed Ayanokoji's thoughts.

"It's not like that, is it? I can't read minds yet."

Ayanokoji could no longer remain calm. He suddenly stood up, his eyes even revealing killing intent.

This person could guess his thoughts, which was a serious threat to him. He needed to eliminate her quickly.

Akasaka also sensed something was wrong and stepped in front of Kato, stopping him.

"What do you want to do, Ayanokoji?"

Kato looked at the figure blocking her, her lips subconsciously curling into a beautiful arc, though no one noticed.

"Akasaka is indeed a very good person..."

Kato muttered softly.

Meanwhile, Akasaka was so nervous he was sweating.

He truly hadn't expected Ayanokoji's reaction to be so intense.

He still didn't know what was going on.

He only knew that Kato had guessed his thoughts, which had led to Ayanokoji's abnormality.

This is bad... He wasn't prepared to be Ayanokoji's enemy yet, at least not now.

Their eyes met, and Ayanokoji finally gave up his inquiry.

At the same time, he took a deep look at Kato Megumi beside him. He, Ayanokoji, was interested in a woman for the first time in his life.

Seeing Ayanokoji looking at her, Kato spoke again.

"Kiyotaka, staring at a girl is very impolite..."

Before he could finish speaking, Akasaka covered his mouth and shouted internally.

My dear aunt! Just say a few less words, I'm begging you. Don't anger the Final Boss and make me face him early. I still can't beat him...

Horikita, watching from the side, was utterly confused and couldn't help but frown.

"What are you two doing? Aren't we supposed to be discussing how to stabilize Class D? What is this?"

Ayanokoji sat back down and said faintly, "Nothing."

Akasaka breathed a sigh of relief. For the first time, he was grateful for Horikita's foolishness, which had helped him out of a tight spot.

He looked at Horikita gratefully.

Horikita was confused by Akasaka's gaze and felt a strange surge of anger and annoyance.

She viciously kicked Akasaka under the table, venting her inexplicable feelings.

Indeed, after kicking Akasaka, she felt much better.

Akasaka didn't suggest Horikita kick him again. Instead, he quickly changed the subject, trying to move past what had just happened.

Ayanokoji's reaction today had truly startled him. He hadn't expected such a strong response from the other party.

And also...

Akasaka secretly glanced at Kato behind him.

You actually have this kind of hidden skill? That's really beyond my expectations...

Kato once again guessed Akasaka's thoughts and subconsciously replied, "I don't have superpowers, Akasaka."

"You still say you don't have superpowers! Didn't you just guess it all?"

Akasaka couldn't help but retort, while muttering to himself.

This world should be an ordinary world, right? There shouldn't suddenly be any Space Quakes, Tohka, or other such nonsense, right?

Kato Megumi tilted her head cutely.

"Although I don't know what Akasaka is thinking, such unnatural phenomena shouldn't exist, right?"

Akasaka looked shocked.

"Do you really not have superpowers? Kato..."

"No, Akasaka."

The more Akasaka looked at Kato Megumi, the more terrified he felt.

Could he really use someone who could guess his thoughts at any moment?

What was the difference between him and being naked in front of her?

Kato's pretty face flushed, and she turned her head away, not daring to look at Akasaka. At the same time, she let out a crisp sound.

"Akasaka, pervert!"
