THE CLASSROOM OF THE ELITE

8.VOLUME 4 Part 8

As soon as I got back to my room it was late at night and I slept in

bed without talking to anyone. After close to 00:00, I

thought I was going to sleep, but then I heard a noise.

Hirata looked at me anxiously. Yukimura too, was sitting on the sofa

installed in our room.

"Good work, Ayanokouji-kun, you're quite late" he told me.

"Yes, by the way, I want to ask Hirata something"

"You must be tired, but if you don't mind a minute, I'd like to

ask you something"

Hirata asked the same thing at the same time as me.

"Hmm? you want to ask me too?" Hirata asked me.

"No, I'll listen first, Hirata. My question is just something

the trivial"

Yukimura also seemed to want to ask something, perhaps something

related to exams. If I refuse to listen

now, the atmosphere in the room would be awkward.

Replacing with the jersey, I approached the two of them. Little hirata

moving around gave me space to sit on the sofa as well. I'd like to ask you a question

to Hirata if he has any information about anyone who

it is known as Sakayanagi, but it does not matter if you listen to it

in advance.

"I was asked to give exam advice from Yukimura-kun, so I

thought I'd tell you too" Hirata told me

"I won't interfere so as not to bother you"

I don't think Kouenji in the same room as us would be interested

with this kind of conversation.

"Sorry Hirata, I am currently refining my physical beauty"

Like what Kouenji said. Kouenji, with the upper body

naked, repeatedly doing push ups in the room. Looks like he

a little sweaty, but it did not affect him at all.

This was not something an ordinary High School student could do. But

did Kouenji really take this exam? my thinking. Hirata answered

as if I knew exactly what my mind was.

"Kouenji-kun really participated in the group. After all, the point

will be reduced if he does not present”

"You know, actually I received word from my friends that two

our classmates have been assigned as ‘target’"

"What does that mean--"

"But I can't tell you yet, they just told me

because they trust me"

“Do you say that you don't trust us, Hirata? you know, you know,

I also have the right to know. Anyway, if we know who

‘target’ is, we may be able to get instructions for

finish the exam better. Besides, it's only natural because we

are fellow classmates, we share information with each other

lain"Yukimura said that to Hirata.

"Yeah ..

about.facts"

That's why he wants to talk to us like this, he already knows

who is the "target.

"Hey Hirata, maybe you better tell us through a cell phone

just in case. No one knows who will listen"

i told him.

"You're right, give me a minute" Hirata told us.

Hirata then turned on his phone and turned it towards us. And

two names were written there. Kushida of the group (Naga) and Minami of

group (Horses). This is the identity of both "targets".

"I understand" Yukimura said without giving anything away.

Since Kushida is a "target", we may be in the profit

in highly contested groups (Dragon). But the fact that "target"

coming from our class was also a scary thing. Would be more

good if the "target" is in another class.

"Don't worry, things are going well" Hirata assured me

with a confident face.

The three members of the group (Dragon) from Class D are smart people who

wouldn't betray their identity no matter how,

looks like he wants to say that.

"Even in groups (rabbits), each class must have

same probability to get ‘target’ between them. But

I think Class D could have three ‘target’, one in a group (rabbit)

who should have kept their identities hidden by now”

"Yes, Yukimura-kun's idea is correct, maybe they've already asked for advice

to others, not to me. In any case, ask for advice on

someone with their identity could increase the risk of being found"

hirata.

As we discussed seriously, Kouenji started singing from across

chamber. After being patient for a while, it seemed like Yukimura finally lost her patience with Kouenji after hearing

the song seems to last forever.

"Kouenji, can you stop singing that shitty song?

And I'm not asking you to take it seriously but

at least watch this exam until it is over. Don't suddenly be absent

like you did on the island" Yukimura reprimanded Kouenji.

"How else, when my body was in an unhealthy state, I

can't do anything impossible" replied Kouenji.

"Geh .. It's just a fake disease"

"But, thinking that the exam will continue for two more days, the,

sounds really troublesome"

Kouenji who continued his push ups said that before getting up

go back and put the towel on the bed.

"Bother? You didn't even think about the exam really

really" Yukimura accused Kouenji.

"There is no meaning in continuing the uninteresting test, in the end it is

just a simple quiz to find a liar"

Kouenji then pulled out his phone and played it for a while. Then

all of a sudden, all of our phones went off and we received a message

from school.

"Kouenji, what are you doing?" Yukimura yells at Kouenji.

Then Hirata and I immediately checked the messages on our phones.

It said "The group's (Monkey) trial is over. Students from the group

(Monkey) is no longer required to participate, please be careful to

not bothering other students"

"The (Monkey) group is yours, Kouenji!"

"Just right, now my freedom is back. See you soon"

Kouenji said before releasing his phone and disappearing into the room

shower, it made us all amazed.

"J-don't mess around! We all do our best and that guy -- !"

"We still don't know, maybe he did something ..."

"That's impossible, he just did it for free as soon as possible

maybe"

We all reacted to this news. I don't think Kouenji myself

I have taken exams seriously. However, he was very responsive and

his observation skills are amazing. If what he said about

the test of "find the liar" is true, he can excel at it.

Kouenji's actions begin to become known to all students as Hirata's cell phone begins

chirping non-stop with incoming messages.

The chat was filled with students who were shocked to hear the news.

I'm sure Katsuragi, Ryuuen and Ichinose will also be surprised by this.

No one expected 'traitors' to appear on the first day

exam. Horikita has also sent a message to my phone.

“Sorry, some things look confusing, I'll call you

now" a message from him is written.

"Damn, thanks to Kouenji, things improved beyond a simple discussion"

"I'll be out for a minute"

It seemed like Yukimura would not be able to sleep after being upset like that with

kouenji's actions. After confirming that the flow of the discussion had subsided,

I quietly left the room.

Even though Kouenji's actions have ended the one group exam, I didn't

I can keep thinking about this forever. Honestly, my actions will

limited in this exam. Even if I planned it, it would be difficult to

guide all remaining groups to victory

Class D.

You could even call it an impossible task. If all

students work together in turn, it may happen, but it does not

it happened and I couldn't interfere with the other group's answer by

using my own phone.

There are other ways but there is no time and the stakes are very high. If

I have information that can completely reverse the situation, that is

another problem. The key to this is Class D,

Hirata and Kushida.

"This is impossible"

There are three days to go including holidays. In the end it is impossible to stay

not likely.

Even if I get both absolute cooperation from them, I

still not having enough eyes and ears by my side. I don't know what

what is happening in the discussion of each group. Of course, you are,

including Horikita and Sakura, there may still be

remaining. As expected, I need more eyes and

ears by my side in this test.

A sky full of stars lay in front of me. I went to

"It's amazing..."

It was wider than we usually see in books and pictures. That

it's a beautiful sight. It's like a night view

you won't be able to see in the big cities and there are some male students

and the woman who looked up at the starry sky while holding hands

and embrace the shoulders. I feel a little lonely watching it. Because

it was dark with a little light, I couldn't see a face

them. And I don't care at all about romantic moments like

that's.

But among the disciples looking up at the night sky was one girl

standing alone like a shadow. "No-no". Even if I

calling him now, I can't say 'why don't we

looking at the stars together' and trying to pick her up like that.

I don't want to be there when his girlfriend comes. But I'm interested in

saw who the girl was so I approached her. The girl saw me and

turned staring.

"A .. a ... Ayanokouji-kun is?"

"That voice ... What is Kushida?"

So the girl, Kushida, appeared from behind the shadows with a face

surprised looking.

"Are you alone?"

Maybe Kushida is here to meet his girlfriend. Thinking things

it made my chest tight and hurt.

"Yeah, I can't sleep right now" she told me.

"Oh so"

So she's not here for a date night with her boyfriend. I feel relieved

knowing that. Looks like Kushida just came out of the room

bathing, there is a very pleasant aroma coming from Kushida who

wearing jersey. It looks like the scent is the same as the shampoo

given to us in our room.

"Are you not cold?" I asked him

"I'm fine, more importantly, are you alone in the

here, Ayanokouji-kun?"

She asked me As I nodded, Kushida laughed happily.

"So we're both alone right now? I'm a little happy" he said.

"......."

I should have said nice words at this point, but sure

I just can't say it.

Instead, my heart rate increased just by being alone together

Kushida's in a place full of couples. Kushida must have hated the situation

like this, deep down in his heart.

"Anyway, I'll go" I told him.

"You're going?"

"Yes, I'm sleepy"

Of course I don't want to sleep at all but how else.

"So, I'll see you tomorrow, Ayanokouji-kun!”

"Good night, Kushida".

After exchanging farewells with her, I was sad

back him and go. But then...

"Wait!!!"

Kushida shouted and jumped into my chest. I can feel

his warmth even through his jersay in this cold weather.

"W-k-k-kushida? Wh-what are you doing?"

Of course, in this unexpected situation, I became panicked. It's outside

my understanding.

"....."

But Kushida did not answer me.

Then, with a small voice coming out. He said;

"Sorry ... Suddenly I .. feel a little lonely"

.

He whispered this to me while he was in my chest. Those words

like a punch to me and my brain went silent for a while. And for

in a few seconds, Kushida continued to bury her face in my chest.

Then arrive

arriving, as if a broken spell, he freed me and moved away.

"m-sorry, I suddenly hugged you Ayanokouji-kun .. good night!"

I can't see Kushida's face very well in the dark,

but I felt his face flushed. And without saying

regardless, Kushida fled, leaving me standing there holding

my chest to feel the warmth it left behind.

Thanks to this, I won't be able to sleep again tonight. I can't

back to my room like this. So I decided to go around

ship for a while.

"Aahhh .. that surprised me, after all, I feel thirsty now,"

I said in my heart.

There should be some vending machines on the first floor so I

I decided to go there before going back to my room. But

then near the vending machine, I found three people who

freaky. There is Chabashira-sensei, and Hoshinomiya-sensei from Class B and

Mashima-sensei from Class A. They sat on the sofa and quietly

take the time. This space is technically not off limits to students, though,

but because there is a bar here that no disciple, disciple, can enter

usually avoid coming to this place.

I came here for a change, but I seem to have

stumble upon an opportunity to get some information.

I removed my presence. Slowly and quietly approached them.

"You know, it's been a long time. Since the three of us got together like this"

"This is fate, we all choose the path of the teacher at last"

"Stop that. There's no point in talking about it"

"Oh right, by the way, did I see you dating, new boyfriend?

Mashima-kun, you are very motivated to progress".

"Chie, what about you? What happened to your ex?"

"Haha, I broke up with him after two weeks. You know, I'm the type

the woman who did it with the man and decided it before

the relationship became serious" replied Hoshinomiya-sensei.

"that's the limit of men, you know"

"Ahh, but I didn't do it with Mashima-kun, you are

my best friend, I don't like ruining our friendship" he told the

Mashima-sensei's chat.

"Calm down, it's not about that"

"Uwaaa. I guessed it myself"

Hoshinomiya-sensei poured whiskey into an empty glass and

drink it all in one big gulp. Compared to that, though,

Chabashira-sensei slowly drank the sake as if it was a cocktail.

"More importantly, what are you going to do, Chie?"

"What are you suddenly talking about?"

"Basically, the policy here is to put all representatives respectively

class to group (Dragon)"

"I don't mean to play around here, it's true attitude and

the quality is adequate, Ichinose-san is the top in my class, however

the likelihood of success in society cannot be measured by

measure according to a number. I decided that there was a hurdle

which must be addressed before then, besides putting it in

the group (rabbit) is appropriate, is not a rabbit it is

a cute? pyonpyon, like Ichinose-san "said Hoshinomiya-sensei.

"I hope you're right"

"Hoshinomiya's words do make sense, is there some meaning

hidden behind it?”

"I just don't want you to make decisions based on revenge

privately"

"Are you still talking about what happened 10 years ago?

I think we can handle that ..."

"I was wondering, you're the kind of person who would talk a lot if I

no longer in front of you. You're the unsatisfied type except you

one step ahead. That's why you put Ichinose inside

the group (Rabbit), right?"

"Whatchu mean? Explain, Hoshinomiya"

"I really think that Ichinose-san needs to learn so much that I

keep him away from the group (Dragon). By the way, Sae-chan too

focus a little attention on Ayanokouji-kun. What is this

just coincidental? When the exam on the island was over, it seemed like you were very happy because Ayanokouji-kun turned out to be the leader" said the official

Shinomiya-sensei's chat.

"That's not the connection"

But Mashima-sensei nodded as if he was sure. But then he

talking to Hoshinomiya-sensei in a firm tone.

"There's no specific rule for that but I want to protect our morals, I

want to avoid reporting coworker failures" he said.

"Hey, you might not believe me, but don't just blame me,

Sakagami-sensei is also the problem, right? Class C has a reputation

bad because of the other people who should have been in the dragon group already

but Ryuuen-kun was sent instead.” he replied.

"That's right, this year's students seem to be very special"

I've got a little information about the exam, so I

decided to return. If I stay, I'll just

wrapped up in the next problem. I understand now

that Ichinose was sent to spy on me. Looks like my move

it is noticed and restricted.
