Classroom of the Elite: After the Intel Update, They Always Want to Win Me Over!

"How did skiing feel today?"

"It was okay. At least I didn't fall."

"You learned pretty quickly," Hashimoto said. "Some people can't even stay on their feet after a whole day."

Shimizu Akira suddenly recalled that Hashimoto Masayoshi had fairly good interpersonal connections in Class B, so after giving it some thought, he asked, "Do you know Shiraishi Asuka?"

"Shiraishi Asuka..." Hashimoto Masayoshi repeated, then nodded. "Yeah, I know her. We're classmates, after all. Her grades are pretty good—around B+ level. She often places in the top ten of the class. But her physical fitness isn't that great, and she often skips some athletic activities. Hmm, she's close with Nishikawa Ryoko, and she isn't particularly showy in class. But there are rumors that she's slept with a hundred guys, so some of the students keep their distance from her. She's in the Voice Acting Club. That's about it."

"I see."

For a classmate, Hashimoto Masayoshi had been quite detailed.

But on reflection, it was more or less the same as Shimizu Akira's initial impression of Shiraishi Asuka.

"However what?" Shimizu Akira hurriedly asked.

"Um... when the second semester had just started, Sakayanagi held a class meeting and said that at the next Cultural Festival, we should focus on making booklets, then buy up all of Class 1-D's sales. When she deliberately left everyone hanging, Shiraishi Asuka was the first to catch on. That was a rare moment when she stood out. I heard Sakayanagi later tried to persuade her to join her faction, but she was turned down. So she's probably much smarter than she looks, and very low-key too. A little like you."

That had happened?

Then Shiraishi Asuka really was quite smart.

But what did he mean, a little like him?
