Classroom of the Elite: The Strength of Kageya Shinjitsu

Actually, he had been a bit confused about what these guys were trying to do just now, so he had been thinking it over.

If they had truly intended to attack him, he would have resisted and given these guys a good beating right away.

But just now, they had approached him with a friendly attitude, and then, uh, it seemed more like they wanted to strip off his clothes.

Not his pants, just his top.

It looked like they had planned it for a while.

Are they that desperate?

Did I run into perverts?

Are they gay?

Because of this, he had looked at these few people with a strange gaze just now.

He was trying to guess their motives.

As expected, he still couldn't fathom the wild imaginations of these guys.

"Look, he even said so himself."

Ike Kanji took the opportunity to speak up.

"Seriously."

"What happened just now? Tell us, Kageya-kun. If they bullied you, we will..."

But Kushida Kikyo clearly had no intention of letting it go.

"Don't speak yet, you guys."

She even blocked Ike Kanji and the others from trying to explain.

"Ah..."

She made them let out strange, miserable cries.

"I'm not sure either. Maybe they haven't been able to find girlfriends and are just lonely."

"As soon as they arrived, they tried to strip my clothes off. I don't know if that's how they play among themselves, but maybe they feel like they can't chase after girls, so they won't even let a good-looking boy go."

"By the way, my swimsuit cost 4,000 points. Remember to compensate me."

Kageya Shinjitsu scratched his slightly itchy neck and paused.

He didn't show the slightest bit of distress over his scars being exposed.

He asked for money directly and threw in a sarcastic remark.

This attitude made the girls look at them with strange expressions.

Stripping clothes for fun?

If there were any fujoshi here, they would probably be looking at these guys with excitement on their faces right now.

Ike Kanji and Yamauchi Haruki tried to explain several times.

But they gave up in the end.

Regardless, their goal had already been achieved.

"We'll pay you, we'll pay you."

"But it'll have to be next month, we..."

Ike Kanji wanted to wait until the 100,000 points arrived next month.

A mere 4,000 points was nothing.

"Not next month. I need to buy things, so give it to me now."

Kageya Shinjitsu refused directly.

They wouldn't have a damn thing left next month.

Even if they did have points now, he would definitely make sure they didn't have them later.

"You..."

Ike Kanji was annoyed.

But seeing Kushida Kikyo's gaze, he looked toward the others instead.

In the end, he borrowed points from Ayanokouji Kiyotaka.

Since he was the one who started this, the compensation naturally fell on him.

"Remember to transfer it."

"I'll return your towel once I've washed it."

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

"Although national law doesn't support boys being together, I wish you guys a good time."

Kageya Shinjitsu looked at the state of his body and roughly confirmed his suspicions about their intentions.

Leaving behind a single sentence, he bid farewell to the boys and girls.

"There's no need to rush."

Kushida Kikyo responded, indicating that she was in no hurry.

It was just a towel, after all.

"Um, we'll be heading off first, too."

Turning his head, he was met with an unfriendly gaze; Ike Kanji felt quite uncomfortable under that look.

Oh, Kushida, you've been deceived.

Why can't you just believe us?

That guy is nothing but a delinquent.

Ike Kanji was walking further and further down the path of becoming a knight.

Unfortunately, princesses usually don't belong to knights, but to princes.

A knight can only stand guard outside the bedroom door.

Chapter 38: Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's Methods, Karuizawa Kei

"Goodbye. If possible, you'd better apologize to Kageya-kun properly, regardless of whether it was just a prank."

Kushida Kikyo said this without a smile.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah."

Ike Kanji replied perfunctorily and left quickly.

Apologizing was out of the question.

This operation was a success, but not as successful as they had imagined.

"Kikyo-chan, what's the deal with that Kageya-kun?"

"Has he told you anything?"

"Is that why you've been friends with him all this time?"

"As expected, his physique looked really good when we were swimming earlier."

"Yeah, yeah. If he didn't keep looking at people with that strange gaze, he'd actually be a pretty handsome guy."

"Maybe he's used to being bullied in the past and is afraid to communicate with others."

"I don't think so. Just a moment ago, he clearly..."

After the boys left, the girls gathered around, asking about the situation.

Among them, the student named Karuizawa Kei was very curious.

Ever since she arrived here and saw Kageya Shinjitsu, she seemed to have realized something.

She kept asking questions one after another.

"I don't really know either."

"I just feel like he's a good person. He even gave up his seat to an elderly person on the bus before."

"Besides, he doesn't usually do anything wrong; he attends classes honestly, and his academic ability is quite good, too."

"He just doesn't know how to communicate with people, I suppose."

Kushida Kikyo said.

She omitted the fact that he had skipped class on his very first day.

"Sure enough, he's still a good person."

"Those guys like Ike Kanji are too much. They really are just a bunch of idiots."

"I suspect they're just jealous of Kageya-kun. They're only giving him a hard time because you keep seeking him out, Kikyo-chan."

"Exactly, exactly. You'd better stay away from Ike Kanji and his group; not everyone is worth being friends with."

"I heard they even made some kind of ranking list for girls' breasts. It's so disgusting."

"Being in the same class as them is truly revolting."

The girls spoke up one by one.

Karuizawa Kei listened, lost in thought.

It wasn't just her; the other girls also seemed quite curious about Kageya Shinjitsu.

As they continued to ask questions, the group walked toward the changing rooms while chatting.

If nothing unexpected happens, this gossip will likely spread through the girls' group chats very soon.

As for Ike Kanji and his friends.

"That guy definitely has a problem."

"He's just a bastard delinquent, but since he doesn't have any other companions at this school, he's putting on an act."

"But it feels like Kushida and the others just pity him even more."

"That bastard, he only knows how to exploit other people's kindness."

The group gathered together, not yet having returned to the changing room.

They were well aware that Kageya Shinjitsu was currently nearby.

"I never expected Ayanokouji's brain to be so sharp; he saw right through him."

"Are we really going to give him those 4,000 points?"

"We shouldn't, right?"

"No, if we don't, he'll probably go to the teachers later. He doesn't care about saving face."

"We have to make him reveal his true colors. Saving Kushida depends on us."

The group exchanged words, and although they really didn't want to hand over those 4,000 points, they decided to pay up honestly after considering the other implications.

This operation had been proposed by Ayanokouji Kiyotaka after he watched Kageya Shinjitsu easily defeat Sudo Ken and even take first place. He felt that the guy was very suspicious and definitely not what he appeared to be on the surface.

Furthermore, he was wearing a swimsuit. No other boys in this class wore swimsuits; even Koenji Rokusuke was showily wearing a pair of trunks.

Taking everything into account, there was a major problem.

He definitely had some secret he didn't want anyone to know.

If they could tear his swimsuit, it would be best if they could expose him in front of Kushida Kikyo—perhaps revealing a tattoo, proof of his past as a delinquent, or some other unspeakable secret.

That would immediately make the girls raise their guard.

Although they would have another chance once they reached the changing room, if he just walked away while wearing his swimsuit and changed back in his room, they would never find out anything.

Besides, if the girls didn't notice it directly, the impact would be significantly weakened.
