Yagami Takuya Is Driven into a Corner
Upon seeing Amasawa Ichika, Hashiba Hikaru immediately raised her hand in greeting.
"What on Senior Hashiba Yujima arrange such Matoba? Is he planning to put on a grand show?"
Amasawa Ichika obediently moved closer, since there were people sitting on either side of Hashiba Hikaru. After thinking for a moment, she chose to sit in the seat in front of the boy.
"More or less. Now only the final protagonist hasn't appeared yet. Important people should always have some privileges, so let's wait a little longer."
Hashiba Hikaru glanced at the classroom door. Yagami Takuya had just replied that they were almost at the Special Building and would probably be up in a few minutes.
"Hmm... So, what does Senior Hashiba want with me today?"
Although Amasawa Ichika was asking Hashiba Hikaru question, he couldn't help but glance at Kushida Kikyo.
Because her only worry Ichinose Honami, wasn't there, Kushida Kikyo was very relaxed and didn't care whether there were outsiders present. She clung to Hashiba Hikaru and wouldn't let go.
"Just as you guessed, I invited you to watch a good show."
Hashiba Hikaru pointed to Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, who was standing in the open space, "Amasawa -senpai, you should know him, right?"
"Well..."
When suddenly asked this question, Amasawa Ichika's expression clearly showed some hesitation.
But facing Hashiba Hikaru's calm gaze, she suddenly realized that the other party possessed a great deal of information. Since they had already spoken frankly, she might as well tell him everything.
However, some pulling is also necessary.
"Of course I know him, he's Ayanokoji- senpai."
"Don't play dumb, Amasawa."
Hashiba Hikaru shook her head somewhat helplessly. "I invited you here today to give you an opportunity to be more honest with each other, how about that?"
"Chance?"
Amasawa Ichika's eyes lit up, as if she had made a connection to something.
"Let's see how you do. I'll give you one more chance to answer."
"Good."
Since Hashiba Hikaru had made it so clear, she certainly wouldn't pretend to be stupid any longer. After glancing at Sakayanagi Arisu and Kushida Kikyo's faces, Amasawa Ichika immediately answered.
"Ayanokoji- senpai is a member of [The White Room], and he was once called [The Masterpiece]."
"... Hehe, this answer is not bad."
After hearing her answer, Hashiba Hikaru nodded in satisfaction.
He was actually a little surprised. Although he had known for a long time that Ayanokoji Kiyotaka came from the "White Room," this was the first time he had heard the nickname "The Masterpiece."
"So, Senior Hashiba already knew all along?"
Amasawa Ichika pressed for an answer.
"Certainly."
"Can you give me a chance, Senior Hashiba?"
"Let's wait a little longer, we haven't finished our important business yet."
"Understood!"
Like a soldier receiving orders from his superior, Amasawa Ichika immediately turned around, sat up straight, and looked at the open space in front.
"I've actually heard of that title before, Classmate Hashiba."
Sakayanagi Arisu seized the opportunity to interject, turning her head to look at Hashiba Hikaru's profile with a smile playing on her lips.
"Is that so?"
Although Hashiba Hikaru only learned of the title "[Masterpiece]" today, he was only slightly surprised and not overly astonished.
The fact that this title is real only proves that Ayanokoji Kiyotaka is the first in line of the [White Room].
But what about the first sequence?
The boy believed that if he went all out, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka would be no match for him.
Even without activating [Potential Burst], he's enough to give Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, not to mention he's already at full power with [Peerless Overlord] in his maxed-out state.
Furthermore, following this line of thought, since even the "Masterpiece" of the "White Room" is no match for him, then the new students sent by Tsukishiro after him can only be weaker than Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, so there's even less to worry about.
"I bet Classmate Hashiba is thinking right now: 'Even the [Masterpiece] isn't my match, so how could these newcomers possibly turn the tide?'"
Sakayanagi Arisu closer, her tone slightly teasing, "Did I guess right?"
"Haha, you guessed right!"
While Hashiba Hikaru and Sakayanagi Arisu were chatting, Kushida Kikyo, who was sitting next to them, felt that she couldn't understand anything at all.
She'd never heard of terms like "the White Room" or "the Masterpiece" before, but why did everyone here seem to know them?
"Hikaru-kun."
She couldn't help but tug at Hashiba Hikaru's sleeve.
Just then, the last protagonist to arrive finally pushed open the classroom door.
Yagami Takuya, with his handsome features, walked into the Multipurpose Classroom. After taking a few seconds to see who was inside, his expression changed instantly.
"Ayanokoji."
Hashiba Hikaru patted Kushida Kikyo's small hand reassuringly and called out Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's name.
The other party immediately understood and, under Yagami Takuya's astonished gaze, locked the classroom door at lightning speed.
"Wait! What on earth is going on?!"
Although he didn't quite understand what had happened, seeing Hashiba Hikaru looking down from a high place and Ayanokoji Kiyotaka staring at him with cold eyes, Yagami Takuya instantly felt a sense of crisis and hurriedly asked.
"Senior Hashiba, what exactly are you planning to do? Didn't you say you were going to create an opportunity for me to meet Kushida- senpai?"
"Yeah, Yagami-kun, isn't Kushida right here?"
Hashiba Hikaru smiled and pointed to the short-haired girl sitting next to her, "But before that, there's something else I'd like to ask of you, and I hope you can cooperate."
"What's up?"
Yagami Takuya glanced at Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, who was now guarding the main gate, and his unease grew stronger.
He felt he had fallen into a trap set by Hashiba Hikaru, which was probably pre-arranged by the other party to create an excuse to lure him into the game.
You should know him, right?
Hashiba Hikaru smiled and pointed at Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's expressionless face, "You have to give the real answer."
"..."
After Yagami Takuya fell silent, Hashiba Hikaru sighed "slightly helplessly" and spoke to Ayanokoji Kiyotaka.
"It seems Yagami-kun is unwilling to answer, so we'll have to trouble Ayanokoji- kun to ask him to speak first."
"Good."
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka rolled up his school uniform sleeves; in fact, Yagami Takuya's shocked expression had already betrayed him.
Just like Hashiba Hikaru's assessment, the other party was a member of the [White Room].
Since they are enemies, there is no need to hold back.
He walked over step by step, his right fist clenched, and his aura suddenly surged.
Chapter 741 Yagami Takuya is driven into a corner.
When Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's aura suddenly changed, everyone present clearly felt it.
His originally calm and composed demeanor suddenly turned fierce, and coupled with his already expressionless face, he appeared even more menacing.
"Is this Ayanokoji really looks like?"
Sakayanagi Arisu face; she was somewhat surprised, but not by much.
"I guess so. After all, anyone who can walk out of the [White Room] is definitely not an ordinary person."
Hashiba Hikaru casually chimed in with a couple of remarks, but at that moment Kushida Kikyo suddenly leaned over and whispered, "Hikaru-kun, you're not planning to use someone else to do your dirty work, are you?"
"Haha, don't overthink it. This is something that Ayanokoji should handle."
Hashiba Hikaru smiled and patted the girl's head gently, saying softly, "Let's keep quiet for now. I'll explain to Kikyo after this is all over, okay?"
"OK."
Kushida Kikyo was still very well-behaved. After Hashiba Hikaru made her stance clear, she immediately shut her mouth and leaned back on the boy's shoulder, keeping an eye on the situation in the open space.
Meanwhile, Amasawa Ichika was eavesdropping on the conversation behind her while keeping an eye on the situation in front of her, not wanting to miss either side.
After all, this was juicy gossip happening right before her eyes. Judging from her girlish intuition, the two girls behind him had a close relationship with Hashiba Hikaru. Since he had a girlfriend, didn't that mean these two were...?
That's way too much! Is this really the level of Senior Hashiba?
In the open space ahead, when Yagami Takuya saw Ayanokoji Kiyotaka power, he lost control of his expression.
Because his Physical Ability and combat skills are not outstanding, his Physical Ability score on the OAA System is 51 (C), which is by no means his strength.
Even if his goal in coming here is to get Ayanokoji Kiyotaka to drop out of school, Yagami Takuya needs to be fully prepared to have confidence in achieving that goal.
Given the current bizarre situation, if the opponent decides to use the most primitive methods of confrontation, then the probability of him losing is extremely high, and he may even face a crushing defeat.
"Wait, Ayanokoji- senpai, what are you planning to do?"
Yagami Takuya questioned him sharply.
"Don't be nervous, I just need your approval for something. If you agree, I won't do anything too outrageous."
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka touched his wrist, his tone cold.
"What's up?"
"Since you were sent by the [White Room], you must have received a specific mission, right?"
"..."
"No answer will be taken as a yes."
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka stared at Yagami Takuya, whose expression was grim. "I never show mercy to my enemies. If you want to leave here safely, you'd better show some attitude."
"Does Ayanokouji -Ayanokoji really intend to make a move? What do you think this place is? I'll definitely report you!"
Yagami Takuya witnessed Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's unwavering gaze, his sense of crisis grew stronger.
As someone who also came from the [White Room], he could fully foresee what the other party wanted to do, and there was no way he would show any mercy.
"Oh, there's something I forgot to tell Yagami-kun."
Hashiba Hikaru suddenly interrupted their conversation at this moment, raising her voice considerably.
"I've obtained the right to use this classroom for the entire day, and all the security cameras outside have been compromised, so nothing that happens here today will be recorded."
"You!"
Yagami Takuya's face turned even paler. He looked at Hashiba Hikaru with disbelief, a surge of extreme resentment welling up inside him.
Come to think of it, the other party is, after all, the Student Council President, who not only holds great power but also controls the Disciplinary Committee. The surveillance footage is just a simple matter that can be dealt with easily.
"Honestly, I'm just offering a friendly reminder. After all, Ayanokoji isn't a cruel person. If you agree to his conditions, you can certainly leave easily."
"..."
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka stopped walking as soon as Hashiba Hikaru spoke, keeping a considerable distance from Yagami Takuya.
"Phew~"
Suppressing his anger, Yagami Takuya took several deep breaths before looking at Ayanokoji Kiyotaka again, "So what exactly does Ayanokoji- senpai want me to do?"
"It's very simple."
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka pulled a contract from his pocket. He had prepared it in advance, and the specific rules on it came from an idea provided by Hashiba Hikaru.
"Here is a contract. If you can sign it, I can let you leave."
"..."
Yagami Takuya quickly assumed a defensive stance. Although he didn't know the contents of the contract, he believed that he hadn't reached the end of his rope and couldn't give up so easily.
