[Eighth Day of School] Kujo Hiyori Becomes a Couple

The morning of a new week.

Most students had not fully recovered from their first weekend since enrollment, and many were waking up just in time to make it to class.

However, there were individual students who chose to wake up early on purpose.

There was even one person who didn't have to attend classes at all, yet he still woke up early every single day.

That person was Koenji Rokusuke from Class D of the first year.

At this moment, Koenji was jogging on the path outside the dormitory with Ayanokoji Kiyotaka and Kujo Makoto.

"Ayanokoji-boy, your running form still isn't beautiful enough. This way, you cannot bring your blood and meridians to their optimal state."

"Don't you two have your own running tracks?"

"Hahaha, Kujo-boy, that is where you are wrong. I am simply choosing the running route that suits me best."

"We are currently on a path 350 meters outside the dormitory building. The school's design likely didn't account for three average males running side-by-side, so there isn't enough space left, and I cannot be blamed for that."

The morning exercise for Kujo, Ayanokoji, and Koenji came to an end.

"I'll treat us to water today."

Ayanokoji took out the water he had prepared.

Kujo thanked him and naturally accepted the water bottle Ayanokoji handed over.

Not far away, Koenji was still enjoying his own company on the pull-up bar, while Ayanokoji and Kujo engaged in their usual casual chat.

"Has Koenji always been like this?"

"That's a strange way to ask, Ayanokoji. If I recall correctly, I met him at the same time I met you last week. Besides, you're both in Class D, so why are you asking me?"

Ever since Kujo and Ayanokoji exchanged contact information, they had been messaging each other frequently.

Ayanokoji wanted to experience normal social interactions between average students.

As for Kujo, he was simply curious about Ayanokoji as a person.

As for Koenji, Kujo had met him after exercising in the morning.

Since then, the group could be considered friends.

"I thought Koenji was following your lead. Rumor has it he also spent a significant amount of points so he doesn't have to attend classes now."

"I think he's just skipping class."

Hearing this, Ayanokoji felt that made sense.

Indeed, that possibility could not be ruled out.

In fact, Ayanokoji and Kujo were indeed misunderstanding Koenji.

Koenji had indeed, like Kujo, used points to exchange for the privilege of not attending classes.

It was just that the source of the points was a senior student he had encountered shortly after school started, who had voluntarily paid them on his behalf.

But since Koenji himself wouldn't explain, Kujo and Ayanokoji could only continue to misunderstand him.

"Huh, I thought you were the type who would say it doesn't matter if you get expelled, Kujo."

"Why would you think that?"

"After all, you said that capable people can shine brightly outside even without graduating from Class A. By that logic, wouldn't it be fine for a capable person to be expelled?"

"This school claims to have a one-hundred-percent employment rate upon graduation. If you get expelled, everyone will know from your resume that you're someone who couldn't even stay in a school that guarantees employment. Isn't that exactly what people here care about most?"

"I see. You really are a normal person, Kujo. I should learn from you."

"I truly hope you're complimenting me."

Ayanokoji and Kujo chatted idly about school matters.

Soon.

The students who had woken up a bit earlier began to emerge from the dorms one after another, heading toward the school building.

The most eye-catching among them was the girl from Class D who left at the same time every day.

Word was that she was a monster-level student who had even planned out her schedule for the next three months in advance.

The girl didn't seem to notice Kujo and the others nearby at all, and Ayanokoji watched her figure until she slowly walked into the school building.

Suddenly.

Ayanokoji asked Kujo a strange question:

"Kujo, tell me, if a girl deliberately dresses herself up beautifully, what would be the reason?"

Before Kujo could speak, Koenji, not far away, seemed very interested in the topic and said:

"A gentleman would not say such things, Ayanokoji-boy. Regardless of anything else, humans are creatures that pursue beauty."

Ayanokoji was speechless.

Kujo nodded, feeling that what Koenji said also made sense.

However, Koenji suddenly shifted the tone of the conversation:

"Kujo-boy should also spruce himself up a bit, otherwise, the girls who like you will be disappointed."

Kujo was speechless.

Ayanokoji nodded, expressing deep agreement with this.

Kujo didn't know why the topic had shifted to him.

The leap in the conversation was so great that he didn't even know what to say to keep it going.

However, Ayanokoji had recently learned quite a few topics to chat about between friends from his classmates, and he had a particular idea in mind.

At this moment, Ayanokoji took the initiative to speak:

"I have a proposal. Why don't the three of us make a bet?"

Koenji didn't show any reaction.

Vaguely, Kujo felt that Ayanokoji was up to something.

This was his sixth sense, completely devoid of any logic.

"Kujo, do you believe it? You will definitely have an unexpected romantic encounter today."

Kujo didn't believe it.

A romantic encounter?

What did that have to do with him, Kujo?

So he spoke up:

"Ayanokoji, just say what the bet is. I bet I won't."

Ayanokoji chose "will."

Koenji also chose "will."

The fact that Koenji would actually participate in such a boring thing made Kujo curious.

"As for the stakes, let me think, how about revealing a secret?"

"Ayanokoji-boy, that is truly too cruel to Kujo-boy."

Ayanokoji nodded and said to Koenji:

"Then, how about the two of us bet on whether Kujo is a coward or not?"

Hearing this, Koenji chose "not."

Ayanokoji nodded; then he would choose "is."

"Ayanokoji, what are you trying to do?"

Watching the two of them singing in harmony, Kujo was furious.

"Kujo-boy, Ayanokoji-boy, if I win, let me think, for the upcoming school exams, as long as I am interested, you must go all out to compete against me. If you win, you can also make a wish to me, how about that?"

Ayanokoji agreed.

Kujo disagreed.

Koenji didn't care, and Ayanokoji agreeing was fine too.

Watching the two of them leave in opposite directions with tacit understanding.

Kujo helplessly lay on the lawn, covering his forehead and sighing.

Are they both crazy?

I'm so exhausted.

The last period before school ended.

Kujo came to Class C as usual; today he mainly wanted to talk to Ryuen about some things.

But the other party clearly didn't want to see him, and as soon as school ended, he took Ishizaki and the others and slipped away immediately.

Unable to find his target, Kujo looked out the window with a sense of boredom.

At this moment, Ayanokoji was following behind a girl from the neighboring Class D toward the dormitory building.

Kujo was speechless.

Only then did he more clearly perceive the strangeness inside the Class C classroom.

The surrounding students deliberately avoided his gaze and left the classroom, as if everyone was isolating him.

Subsequently.

Kujo couldn't help but cast his gaze toward the last girl in the classroom, Shiina Hiyori.

Kujo was puzzled.

Kujo stole a glance.

Kujo's eyes met the girl's.

Kujo wanted to leave.

"Kujo-kun."

Kujo couldn't quite remember what Shiina said next.

The only thing he remembered was the girl confessing her feelings to him.

And then, as if possessed, he had actually accepted her confession.

Shortly after, the girl quickly fled the classroom.

But before Kujo could even react, Shiina ran back into the classroom from the door and stood before him.

With a flushed face and breathing heavily, she didn't dare look in his direction; after briefly stating her purpose, the girl mechanically exchanged contact information with Kujo.

After achieving her goal, Shiina still didn't choose to leave.

Kujo didn't dare to speak either.

In a daze.

Kujo felt as if Shiina was saying something?

Her voice was quieter than a mosquito's, yet Kujo heard it clearly:

"I'm sorry, I can't do what other girls do yet. I will try my best, but I just want you to know that I really like you, so please reply to my messages tonight, okay? Um, that's all, I'm going back now. Ugh."

Shiina fled once again.

Kujo stood rooted to the spot, stunned.

Hiyori, isn't she just too cute?

Because Kujo encountered an unexpected confession from a girl, the bet with Ayanokoji and Koenji remained valid.

Results:

Ayanokoji wins.

Koenji wins consecutively.

In short.

Kujo owes Ayanokoji a truth.

Kujo owes Koenji a truth.

Ayanokoji owes Koenji a dare.
