Study Session

At this moment, Akasaka was escorting Kato back to the dormitory.

Along the way, they chatted about Ayanokoji Kiyotaka from time to time.

"Can you guess what this Ayanokoji person is thinking?"

In response to Akasaka's question, Kato Megumi shook her head.

"Ayanokoji is the hardest person to figure out that I've ever met."

"It's like he wears many masks, and none of them are his true self."

"Even if I guessed his inner thoughts at the time, they probably wouldn't be his real thoughts, but just an act."

"He's really a strange person, I can't see through him..."

The two, carrying their school bags, arrived at the dormitory.

Akasaka sighed.

"It's fine if you can't see through him. That guy is quite complicated, I didn't expect to deal with him so easily anyway."

Kato Megumi was a little curious.

"Are you very concerned about that student named Ayanokoji, Akasaka?"

Akasaka's expression turned serious.

"More than concerned, I see him as the Final Boss."

"It's a bit much to consider a classmate as the Final Boss, Akasaka."

"I don't think it's too much at all. You have no idea how terrifying that guy is..."

I led Kato Megumi to the entrance of the girls' dormitory. After signaling that we had arrived, I continued.

"The terror of that guy is beyond your imagination."

"Unless it's absolutely necessary, I really don't want to be his enemy."

"But unfortunately, I want to earn points, and I can't get around this wall called Ayanokoji. It's only a matter of time before we become enemies."

Kato Megumi nodded, half-understanding, and went to the elevator for the girls' dormitory.

"This is the men's restricted area from here on, so I won't escort you further. Go to the middle floors and look for room 405."

Akasaka explained to Kato, while also telling her how to use the room card.

"Just swipe the room card on the doorframe. See you tomorrow, Kato."

"Okay, see you tomorrow, Akasaka."

Kato Megumi also stood at the elevator entrance, waving goodbye.

After a long while, Akasaka breathed a sigh of relief and muttered softly.

"If possible, I really don't want to be your enemy, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka..."

"Being your enemy is too terrifying."

The next morning.

Chabashira announced the upcoming mid-term exams for next month.

At the same time, she explained that after the exams next month, they would receive some points, which immediately excited the students who had spent all their points and didn't know what to do.

After Chabashira finished her lecture, the students whispered amongst themselves, preparing to form study groups to improve their grades.

The task of organizing student studies was led by the most popular students in the class, Hirata Yosuke and Kushida Kikyo. Only the nominal class leader, Horikita Suzune, was completely ignored, possibly intentionally by Kushida Kikyo.

It was clear that everyone did not acknowledge this superficial leader.

But Horikita didn't care. She picked up her school bag and was about to leave.

Ayanokoji and Akasaka both sighed.

"And they still want to be the class leader, ×2."

"No resolve at all, ×2."

Ayanokoji stopped Horikita again, signaling for her to join the study session.

Horikita looked confused.

"Why should I study with these trash who can't even score 70 on the exam? It will affect my grades."

Horikita said it so matter-of-factly that Ayanokoji was instantly silenced, thinking, This girl is really difficult to handle...

Akasaka, on the side, held back a chuckle.

Ayanokoji glanced at Akasaka with a calm gaze. "You come help too."

"Tsk," Akasaka clicked his tongue in annoyance, but he had no choice but to agree. He had sold Ayanokoji out, after all.

Thus, the study session was divided into two groups.

The first group consisted of Hirata Yosuke and Kushida Kikyo, with 36 people. As everyone knew, there were only 40 people in the class... With 36 people snatched by the other side, the remaining 4 people needed no further explanation.

They were Akasaka, Horikita, Ayanokoji, and the invisible Kato Megumi, effectively splitting from the rest of the class.

I really don't understand what Horikita is thinking? What's the use of fighting alone? Can you take down 40 people by yourself?

A joke.

Of course, if it were Ayanokoji, then forget I said anything... because he's not a normal person.

And so, everyone came to the library and split into two groups.

On one side was Hirata and Kushida's study group of 36 people.

On the other was the pitiful group of 4.

Akasaka slumped on the table, bored. He hated studying the most. He never expected to transmigrate and become a student again. He really couldn't escape the fate of studying!

If possible, he wanted to become an adult directly to escape the pain of studying.

Seeing Akasaka being so lazy, Kato helplessly patted his head, coaxing him like a child.

"There, there~ If you don't study properly, you might get expelled. Then you won't be able to earn money to pay off your debts..."

Kato Megumi knew Akasaka's weakness very well. Her words struck right at his heart.

As expected, when Akasaka heard Kato say that, he instantly perked up, picked up his book, and began to study seriously.

This made Horikita and Ayanokoji, watching from the side, exchange glances and marvel.

Horikita said coldly, "Kato, you really understand him. You can make him study seriously with just a few words."

Kato, however, said dismissively, "I'm just good at reading people, it's nothing special."

Ayanokoji thought to himself, This is no longer reading people, this is a superpower. But outwardly, he calmly said "Oh."

"Kato, you're really amazing. I wish I could learn mind-reading too."

"I told you I can't read minds~, Ayanokoji."

Kato Megumi felt quite helpless. No matter how she explained it, Ayanokoji always thought she could read minds.

And he always seemed to want to get close to her, intentionally or unintentionally. Although being noticed was somewhat pleasant, she didn't want this kind of attention.

Moreover, she always felt that Ayanokoji was a dangerous person and instinctively resisted him.

This was what Kato Megumi was thinking.

Horikita, on the other hand, wasn't thinking so much. He just wanted to study hard right now and completely disregarded the team's interests.

Even though Chabashira had told her that everyone had to pass this exam to get points, Horikita still acted on her own, completely indifferent to the lives of her classmates.

This made Ayanokoji quite helpless. He was even considering finding a new tool person. This tool person was really inconvenient to use and would require cultivation, which took too much time.

Ayanokoji looked at Akasaka Ryunosuke, who was studying, intentionally or unintentionally. His eyes lit up.

This tool... is much better than Horikita.

Akasaka, who was studying nearby, shivered all over. He felt a strange chill and looked around. Seeing that Ayanokoji was looking at him, he immediately felt a sense of foreboding.

Damn, he's staring at me. He must have some bad intentions.
