Classroom of the Elite: The Strength of Kageya Shinjitsu

Ike Kanji and his group still had some self-awareness; they knew that if they went directly to badmouth Kageya Shinjitsu, it would likely only make Kushida Kikyo angry.

That was why they had come up with this plan.

After all, a delinquent couldn't possibly be so timid that he wouldn't dare speak in class, leaving only the angel Kushida to do the talking; they just needed to expose him.

At the very least, it would make Kushida Kikyo distance herself from Kageya Shinjitsu.

For Ike Kanji and the others, that would be a massive win.

Ike Kanji and his cohorts pondered the future, considering how to continue unmasking Kageya Shinjitsu.

Dinner time, school cafeteria.

Kushida Kikyo had been invited out, and sitting across from her was the somewhat delinquent-like gal of the class, Karuizawa Kei, a cute, beautiful girl with long, blonde, ponytail hair.

She had a somewhat assertive personality and had already formed a small clique in the class, earning the trust of her classmates, especially the girls.

"Karuizawa-san, I didn't expect you to be so direct..."

After learning the reason why Karuizawa Kei wanted to speak with her privately, Kushida Kikyo was quite surprised.

"Are you planning to make a move already? Do you have your eye on Kageya-kun?"

She asked with great curiosity.

Had the class gal finally found her prey?

Kushida Kikyo wondered if she might have the chance to learn more about Kageya Shinjitsu from Karuizawa Kei in the future.

"Oh my~~ it's not as exaggerated as you make it sound, I'm just interested in him, and since we're classmates, I thought I'd try to get to know him."

Karuizawa Kei said, feigning a relaxed tone.

"I understand, but I'll still have to ask him about it."

"If you need me to, I can help you set up a meeting with him."

Kushida Kikyo offered, acting very helpful.

Kushida Kikyo was very enthusiastic about such matters, patting her ample chest as she promised to handle everything.

Chapter 39 Kushida: Kageya-kun, do you want a girlfriend?

Kushida Kikyo was a woman of action.

Very quickly.

"???"

Kageya Shinjitsu, who was just about to head out for dinner, stared at the message Kushida Kikyo had sent him.

"Kageya-kun, do you want a girlfriend?"

Looking at the text, he doubted his own eyes.

"What is this all about?"

Kageya Shinjitsu didn't think for a second that she was offering herself to him.

He replied directly with a few question marks.

No sooner had he replied than a call came in.

"Kageya-kun, congratulations."

"A girl in class wants your contact information."

"You're so popular~~"

As soon as he picked up, a gentle female voice came through. It was a bit noisy on the other end, as if she were in the cafeteria.

"A girl?"

"..."

Kageya Shinjitsu felt like they were being incredibly bored.

"That's right, a super cute girl. How about it? If you don't have any objections, I'll give her your contact info."

Under normal circumstances, as long as a guy didn't have a girlfriend, he wouldn't have any objections to something like this.

"Hey, hey, hey~ Kageya-kun, you aren't thinking of refusing, are you?"

"That would be too cruel. Why not just meet up? It's always good to have more friends."

"It's rare for a girl to come out and ask for your contact info; it took a lot of courage."

Kushida Kikyo, not receiving a response, spoke rapidly.

Her voice grew quieter, as if the person in question was right beside her.

"I understand, go ahead and give it to her."

It was just contact information, and it didn't necessarily mean anything romantic.

"Good luck!"

"Someone will contact you later."

Neither side said anything more, and it wasn't just about the phone number.

Someone had also added his school account.

After introducing themselves, they wanted to meet and talk to him—well, two people did.

"Karuizawa Kei?"

Kageya Shinjitsu quickly thought of this girl.

She was a popular girl in class, familiar with almost all the other girls.

However, she didn't seem very interested in any boys other than Hirata.

Why would she be looking for me?

Carrying this doubt, he waited until the time of the meeting.

It was after dinner, and according to his normal schedule, Kageya Shinjitsu would take a walk, and once his food had mostly digested, he would start a light jog.

But before this jog, Kageya Shinjitsu needed to meet someone.

It was a place similar to a small park; aside from the occasional jogger passing by, there were also some couples here and there.

It was a popular dating spot within the school, and it was also one of the rare places on campus without surveillance cameras.

Usually, this was also where Kageya Shinjitsu went for his runs.

Is she meeting me here because she's afraid of being seen?

Standing under a streetlamp, Kageya Shinjitsu pondered.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

Right at the agreed-upon time, the beautiful girl with the blonde ponytail arrived exactly on schedule.

Black short socks, a short skirt, sleeves pulled up to her forearms, her golden ponytail bouncing with her movements; her unbuttoned uniform gave her a heroic, dashing air, and she was clearly aware of her own appeal.

She didn't have the "plumpness" or "fleshy" feel of Kushida Kikyo; Karuizawa Kei had more of a girlish, petite, and cute vibe.

"Sorry, I got a little lost looking for the spot."

Karuizawa Kei had run over, and it didn't look like she had much stamina; as soon as she arrived, she leaned forward with her hands on her knees, taking deep breaths.

"It's fine, I just got here too."

???

He answered calmly, but his mind was filled with strangeness.

Who are you? Have you been possessed by Kushida Kikyo? Why are you being so easy to talk to?

Isn't this how you usually act in class?

Could it be that there's some plan to set me up?

Kageya Shinjitsu analyzed the situation, calculating the probability of this girl trying to sabotage him.

He had witnessed how unreasonable this girl could be in class, especially toward boys other than Hirata.

"Haa..."

"I'm Karuizawa Kei."

Hearing his response, Karuizawa Kei seemed to let out a sigh of relief.

"I'm Kageya Shinjitsu, hello."

Then, the two of them fell into an awkward silence.

Standing together under the streetlamp, neither of them spoke.

You look at me, I look at you.

What is this about?

Say something, will you? If you can't, just swap in Kushida Kikyo.

Kageya Shinjitsu was completely bewildered.

"Um, how about we just walk together?"

Perhaps unable to stand the atmosphere, Karuizawa Kei finally spoke up.

She rubbed her small hands together as she made the suggestion.

"Sure."

The two awkward individuals slowly set off, walking around the small park.

The atmosphere felt a bit like a newly formed couple out on a stroll, yet neither dared to make the first move.

They didn't know how long they had been walking when they arrived at a dim little courtyard near the park's small lake. The environment here was nice, though a bit dark; it must be beautiful during the day.

Now, they could only see things by the light of the distant lamps and the moonlight.

"Um, Kageya-kun, where are you from?"

Karuizawa Kei finally managed to squeeze out some words.

"Chiba."

"Chiba, um, is it really you? The Minotaur Warrior from Chiba Middle School."

As Kageya Shinjitsu responded, Karuizawa Kei spoke slowly.

It was as if she had already made up her mind.

"Huh??"

Kageya Shinjitsu wore a strange expression.

Minotaur Warrior, what is that?

I never expected you to be this kind of person, Karuizawa Kei.

"Isn't it? Could I have remembered it wrong?"

"Your name is Kageya Shinjitsu, and you're from Chiba Middle School."

"You're that famous Minotaur Warrior who used to go out in the middle of the night to deal with thugs, right?"

"And because you took care of so many delinquents at school, you were recognized and reported."

"I never expected to see you at this school."

Karuizawa Kei looked at Kageya Shinjitsu earnestly.

Then, she said everything that was on her mind.

It seemed that once she got started, the rest came much easier.
