Just like that, the day passed quickly and night arrived.

Returning to his single dormitory, Rinya found that because he had been dragged away by Matsushita Chiaki for a meal along the way, it was already evening by the time he got home.

Watching the stars flickering in and out of view at the edge of the sky, Rinya stretched his back. However, upon entering the room, he was surprised to find his quilt bulging.

But the next second, as a faint, maidenly fragrance drifted to the tip of his nose, he understood who it was.

"Hey, I told you to wait for me in the room, I didn't tell you to crawl into my bed." The boy crossed his arms, walked to the bedside, and ruthlessly yanked the quilt off the person.

However, Rinya, who had just been about to lecture the other party, found the words stuck in his throat when he saw Kushida, who was clutching a pillow and already fast asleep.

"Heh, this girl really doesn't stand on ceremony."

Rinya shook his head. Looking at the girl sleeping so soundly, he took out his phone and saw that it was still early. He covered her back up with the quilt and casually set a one-hour alarm by her pillow.

Then, he muttered to himself, "Consider this a little reward for waiting for me so long in the middle of the night."

After finishing all this, Rinya opened his computer and logged into the school forum. To him, obtaining information on key individuals from it was still very crucial.

"With Ayanokoji in Class D, it's not easy to make a move for now. I can only bury my chess pieces step by step, and wait until the core forces are mostly in my hands before taking them down."

After roughly going through the recent movements of the other three classes, A, B, and C.

Rinya had also roughly reached a conclusion.

In Class C, the only strategist among the males is Ryuen Kakeru. However, given his style of operating in the shadows, it would be difficult to find an opportunity to threaten him. For now, brute force is the most appropriate, but it needs to be done at the right time, otherwise, it is easy to be counterproductive.

In Class B, looking at it generally, they basically rely on the cohesion of the class to stand firm. The simplest way to deal with them is to take down their leader, Ichinose, and this system will naturally collapse. However, judging from the daily competition that Class B inadvertently revealed on the forum, the hearts of the people in Class B are undoubtedly at their peak right now. If one were to forcibly intervene now, it would inevitably drag Class D into the abyss. Although he might not care, he wouldn't be able to escape the threat of expulsion either.

Class A has Sakayanagi Arisu, whose strategy is no less than Ayanokoji's, as the leader behind the scenes. Moreover, everyone in the class is a top-tier student in the grade, whether in terms of intelligence or physical fitness. Looking at the early stages, they are basically an invincible existence.

However, even so, Rinya had no intention of letting them go just like that. He only promised to ensure that Sakayanagi Arisu graduates as Class A; as for the others, it depends on who he wants to see graduate, though it is too early to talk about that now.

After some deliberation, Rinya already had a strategy that best fit the current situation. To put it simply in one sentence: "Seize the right opportunity to complete my harvest and control."

Although his existence might cause a massive butterfly effect in the subsequent plot of the Classroom of the Elite world, as long as the story development in certain minor aspects remains roughly the same, the initiative will always be in his hands!

"Just like you, Kushida Kikyo, heh~"

Just as the boy looked at the sleeping girl on the bed with a playful expression, the sound of the alarm rang out at exactly that moment.

"Ring ring ring~"

"Mmm~ there shouldn't be an alarm set in the room." The girl groggily pressed the stop button.

However, the next second, as if she had realized something, her body suddenly stiffened. "This is... oh no, oh no, how did I fall asleep?"

The girl instinctively wanted to get up, but just as she stood up, she bumped into the boy who was looking at her with a half-smile. "Hee~ Mas... Master~ I'm... I'm sorry." Kushida lowered her head in embarrassment, but her pair of crystalline eyes couldn't help but look up to see if he was angry.

"Oh, you're awake?"

Rinya silently raised his hand.

Seeing this, Kushida was immediately so frightened that she hugged her head and squatted on the ground, crying and begging for mercy. "Master, I was wrong, I was wrong, don't hit me, don't hit me, wuwuwuwu~"

"What are you doing?" Rinya smiled helplessly, thinking to himself, "Has this girl developed psychological trauma from that slap I gave her last time?"

Seeing that she was still hesitant and afraid to move, Rinya simply pulled her up. After letting her calm down for a while, he let her sit down and began to instruct her in detail.

It was mostly about the hand signals and other things needed for reporting information collected on a daily basis.

After explaining all of this, Rinya told Kushida that in the upcoming class activities, whenever there was an opportunity, she should deliberately cause some trouble for Ayanokoji.

It would be best if she could make people from other classes notice something slightly unusual about him. It didn't need to be much, just enough to leave an impression.

Kushida nodded repeatedly upon hearing this. Then, as if thinking of something, she paused, knelt gently in front of Rinya's knees, and said with glowing eyes, "Since Ayanokoji is so valued by Master, couldn't I use that handprint I left back then~."

Just as Kushida was about to bring this up, Rinya, as if he had expected it, added, "By the way, remember to be smarter when threatening others in the future. Don't let people touch you for nothing. Things like clothes, being touched here and there in daily life, fingerprints and such are long gone. Understand?"

"But I..." Hearing this, Kushida suddenly felt like a mute eating coptis—bitter but unable to speak.

The bitter and aggrieved little expression on her face made even Rinya, who was usually as calm as still water, find it funny. "Hehe, just understand it in your heart. Go back early."

"Yes~" Kushida stood up silently. As she left, she didn't forget to look back every few steps. For some reason, she felt she couldn't see through his pace now. Perhaps after some day, when the gap reaches a certain level, he will abandon her...

But thinking about it, what could she do? As long as he can help her achieve the dream in her heart, wouldn't it be better to regain her freedom then?

The innocent-looking Kushida thought to herself.

Of course, as for her other side, that remains unknown...
