Let's Commit Suicide!

As Kamuro Masumi spoke, her voice kept rising.

The surrounding classmates gradually took notice of the scene.

"Of course there is. You were never strong academically to begin with, and now you've got things on your mind—I'm really worried about you!

You must be well aware, right? The general rules of this school—this question was discussed at length within the class.

Since it's merit-based, those who are eliminated will most likely be expelled. Though it's still unclear exactly what criteria will be used to judge.

But as a student, academic performance is a high-priority direction—that's undeniable.

I don't think Kamuro-san wants to be persuaded to drop out simply for failing exams, does she?

Hearing this veiled threat, Kamuro fell silent.

'Right! These past few days, my head's been full of that eyepatch bastard! Studying was never my strong suit, and now I can't even focus in class—it's all his fault!'

Seeing Kamuro at a loss for words, Sakayanagi Arisu understood that enough was enough, and directly extended an invitation:

"It seems Kamuro-san has realized her own situation. Why not tell me what's on your mind? I can't guarantee I'll be able to help with that matter.

But as for your studies, I can tutor you one-on-one. Kamuro-san should be well aware of my abilities in that area, right?"

Though she didn't say it outright, with so many classmates watching, the moment she agreed, she'd become part of the "Sakayanagi Faction," wouldn't she?

"No need. I'll handle it myself. I don't like you, and I hate that bald guy even more, so there's no way I'm joining either of your factions.

Anyway, I don't slack off or cause trouble in class, so I won't affect the class. Stop bothering me!"

With that, she walked straight out of the classroom.

Witnessing this scene, the students of Class A were all stunned.

A lone wolf who'd just offended both major factions at once—Kamuro Masumi was likely going to be isolated in class from now on!

Sakayanagi Arisu watched Kamuro Masumi's retreating back and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

'Quite the personality. But that won't do. Acting like this now is no different from leaving Class A. Without absolute ability, someone who can't unite with others is destined to become discarded goods.'

Walking through the school building, replaying her earlier actions, Kamuro Masumi felt some regret.

It had started as mutual non-interference, but now it had turned into something almost hostile. She wasn't capable of opposing both factions at once—she couldn't even handle one.

'It's all that guy's fault! If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have gotten so angry, and I wouldn't have been hot-headed enough to reject Sakayanagi in public!'

Cursing Gojo Satoru over and over in her mind, she blamed him for everything that had happened to her.

Before she knew it, she had walked out of the school building. No sooner had she stepped outside than she immediately spotted the object of her "endless longing"—Gojo Satoru!

'Bastard!!

Saying such ambiguous things to me, turning my campus life into a complete mess.

Then just dumping me to go hit on a pretty girl!'

That's right. Watching the four of them chatting and laughing over there (referring to the four standing frozen in silence), Kamuro Masumi jumped to that conclusion.

After all, in her mind, there was no way any girl would ever go up to that eyepatch bastard on her own.

A perfect plan formed in her mind—she would make those girls leave in disgust!

Facing a situation that felt like a cheating scandal caught red-handed, the already awkward Gal Trio felt even more mortified.

'Ah! Gojo-kun actually has a girlfriend!'

Sato Maya thought in utter disbelief.

"This situation seems kind of special... shouldn't we make a run for it?!"

Karuizawa Kei said, feeling a bit guilty as she looked at Kamuro Masumi's furious expression.

Hearing this, Matsushita Chiaki had no idea how to even respond anymore, and could only scream internally:

'Sis! The situation was never normal from the start, okay?! Let's just kill ourselves! Right now!!'

"I-it should be fine, right? That classmate might just be misunderstanding something!"

Matsushita Chiaki tried to comfort the other two. After all, they had come to help her, and if she didn't say something, it might create a rift in their friendship.

Seeing that she had intimidated all four of them, Kamuro Masumi ran straight to Gojo Satoru's side, grabbed his arm, and shouted angrily:

"Isn't having me enough? Didn't you say you only liked me?"

Gojo Satoru, whose arm had been seized, finally snapped out of his daze. Though he didn't understand why Kamuro Masumi was doing this, he still responded.

He pulled his arm free from her grip, then wrapped his arms around her entirely, speaking in a gentle tone:

"I'm really sorry for making you angry."

The moment she was embraced, Kamuro Masumi's brain went completely blank.

'Huh?! What's going on?! The script was supposed to be those three girls slapping him and leaving in anger, right?! Then the eyepatch bastard would get pissed!'

"Classmate, you might have misunderstood! Actually, we came to invite Gojo-kun to hang out this weekend, but he didn't agree—it's definitely not the cheating you're talking about!"

Not wanting to be the bad guy, Sato Maya explained to Kamuro Masumi, who was held in Gojo Satoru's arms.

Hearing this, Kamuro Masumi didn't know how to respond. She even forgot to struggle free. All she wanted was to find a hole to crawl into!

"It's fine, it's fine. I'll just soothe my girlfriend—you guys go ahead."

Gojo Satoru held Kamuro Masumi with his left arm, pulled out his right hand, waved it, and said with a smile.

"Then see you!"

Finally allowed to leave, Matsushita Chiaki quickly grabbed the other two's hands and ran off, not giving them a chance to react, afraid they might blurt out something even more explosive.

Watching them leave, Kamuro Masumi finally broke free from Gojo Satoru's embrace and said angrily, "Who allowed you to hold me?!"

Facing this, Gojo Satoru just smiled slightly and said, "I didn't cheat, though, girlfriend!"

He stressed the word "cheat" heavily.

"Who's your girlfriend?!"

Hearing his teasing tone, Kamuro Masumi retorted, her face red, then quickly walked away.

Gojo Satoru followed, asking cheerfully, "Why'd you suddenly come looking for me? Miss me?"

"No way! I was just passing by!

I thought you were hitting on someone, so I decided to mess with you!"

She added right after, "And how could I possibly miss you?! Someone like you—you have my contact info and that threatening video, but you never message me. I was just worried you might suddenly report me, that's all!

Yeah, that's it!"

Watching Kamuro rush to clarify, Gojo Satoru found it amusing and kept teasing, "Eh? Really? That's so sad?!"

"Hmph! Good that you know!"

"By the way, why haven't you messaged me at all?"

Though his reply had a joking tone, since things were cleared up, Kamuro decided to ask outright.

Hearing no answer from behind, and the footsteps stopping, Kamuro halted and turned to look.

There stood Gojo Satoru, dazed and motionless, the usual smile gone from his face, replaced by a heavy expression.

'No value!'

Recalling his past life, bedridden for years from a severe illness, Gojo Satoru thought coldly.
