The Bewildered Class C

"Is it possible that the exam scope your teacher gave you is wrong?"

Kamuro wore a bizarre expression; what kind of teacher would do something like that!

(⊙o⊙)...

Seeing Ike and Yamauchi looking at each other in silence, unable to say a word, Kamuro pursed her lips and said:

"Forget it, I'll go ask someone from Class B. I just hope it's not our Class A homeroom teacher who made a mistake."

As she said this, Kamuro stood up and walked toward Makoto's seat.

Because he was the only person she knew in Class B.

"Hey, there shouldn't be anything about bacon or whatever in the exam scope, right?"

Makoto: "?"

This abstract question left Makoto momentarily stunned.

However, he immediately recalled the miraculous maneuvers of the Class D homeroom teacher, so he nodded and said:

"The exam scope for Class D is wrong."

"?"

Now it was Kamuro's turn to be bewildered.

Wait, I only said one sentence, what do you mean by stripping me down to my underwear? Are you hacking or something?

"Anything else? I'm very busy right now."

Makoto waved his hand, making a gesture to shoo her away. Whenever he had to deal with social interaction, his energy consumption was much faster than usual.

Kamuro returned to her spot feeling extremely annoyed. After clicking her tongue, she said:

"Confirmed, it's your Class D that has the problem!"

She vented the frustration she had just felt onto the innocent parties, namely Ike and Yamauchi.

Because of this, the volume of her voice was slightly raised.

However, the two of them clearly didn't notice this, only blindly complaining about Chabashira's irresponsibility.

"Seriously, I don't know who she was trying to impress with that smug look yesterday, when she couldn't even get the exam scope right."

"Exactly, exactly. I've been annoyed by her attitude since yesterday. Does she really think she's anything special just because she's the Class D homeroom teacher?"

The two of them criticized their teacher behind her back without mercy, leaving Kamuro speechless.

Since the Class D teacher had indeed made a mistake, she didn't know what to say.

"What are you two chirping and arguing about over there? It's annoying, you know?!"

A male student sitting not far away said.

"Sorry, sorry. We're just complaining about our irresponsible homeroom teacher; she even messed up the exam scope."

"You guys... you wouldn't happen to be students from Class D, would you?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the students sitting near that boy all looked up and cast their gazes toward this side.

"What's it to you? Even if we are from Class D, do you have some kind of problem with that?"

Sudo couldn't stand that kind of discriminatory look, so he immediately stood up and retorted.

"No, no, of course I don't have any problems. I'm Yamawaki from Class C. Nice to meet you."

Yamawaki said with a malicious smile, failing to notice that the expressions of the students around him had already changed.

"Oh my, it's really great that this school sorts classes based on ability. If I had to be in the same class as people like you, I wouldn't be able to stand it~"

"?"

Upon hearing this, Sudo actually calmed down. He looked at Yamawaki with a strange expression, staring until the latter felt uneasy.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"...Do you realize that there are not only Class D students here, but also students from Class A and Class B with us?"

"What?"

Yamawaki was stunned. Just then, a boy next to him tugged on his sleeve and whispered in his ear:

"He's right. I've already spotted the leaders of Class A and Class B near him."

The distance between the three classes was clearly unusual. The students were mixed together like this, making their Class C look completely out of place.

"?"

"What on earth is going on here?"

Yamawaki desperately wanted to know the answer.

"Guess?"

Sudo returned the favor, finally venting his pent-up frustration, and it felt incredibly satisfying.

"We'd better hurry up and tell Ryuen-boss about this."

The boy whispered, Ryuen was not participating in their Class C study session here, so he had to inform him of this intelligence immediately.

"Right, right, that's exactly how it is."

Yamawaki slunk away, not even daring to cast a single glance back at Sudo.

If something were to go wrong and he provoked people from the other three classes here, he might just be beaten to death on the spot by boss Ryuen once he returned!

"How unsightly~"

Sakayanagi withdrew her gaze.

As expected, only that man could bring her amusement in this school.

The rest were merely dregs and misfits.

As for Ayanokoji...

Sakayanagi recalled the source of her motivation for learning chess.

She would ask Makoto tonight.

She believed he would give her a satisfactory answer; after all, it wasn't a big deal, was it?

"Let's continue studying."

Kamuro sighed while clutching her forehead, while Kushida wore an awkward smile.

For someone who aspired to be friends with everyone, the scene that just unfolded was not suitable for her to step in.

The malice from the other party was written all over his face; she wasn't about to be like she was with Horikita, sticking her hot face against a cold butt and rushing to curry favor with him.

If she did that, let alone becoming friends, she might even end up becoming the next person to plunge Gotham into panic.

"Mm-hmm, everyone cheer up, we still have plenty of time, don't we?"

Only one day of May had passed; even if the scope was wrong, they still had plenty of time to correct it.

"Kushida is right, we have to work hard, we can't let the other classes look down on us!"

Ike perked up again under Kushida's encouragement.

He wanted to win Kushida's favor so badly, so he had to perform well in front of her!

"That's the spirit."

Following Kushida's words, the group once again focused their attention on their studies.

Kamuro had already handed them the correct exam scope just now.

If there were a progress bar above their heads, the value would probably start to change slowly now.

0.01%, 0.02%, 0.03%...

Ayanokoji arrived at Kushida's side at some point, and while enduring the murderous glares from Ike and Yamauchi, he whispered:

"Did you forget something?"

"Did I?"

Kushida tilted her head, her face full of confusion.

Even so, she was still incredibly cute.

Ike and Yamauchi were already mesmerized.

Not only that, but they were also jealous of Ayanokoji, who was able to whisper to Kushida.

They wanted that kind of contact with Kushida too!!!

Ayanokoji, you betrayed the organization!

Both of them were practically gnashing their teeth.

"I'm the one suffering here, you know; Horikita is definitely going to kill me tomorrow."

Ignoring the gazes that looked quite terrifying, Ayanokoji continued.

Compared to the empty threats from these two, Horikita's signature weapon, the compass, would inflict real physical damage on him.

He couldn't stand living like this every day.

"It's fine, I'll talk to Horikita; after all, as long as everyone in the class passes, that's all that matters, right?"

As if she finally understood what Ayanokoji meant, Kushida revealed a sweet smile.
