บท 10: #10 Manabu Horikita
Another boring day in school...
"Hey, Walker-kun tell me, what girl looked best in a swimsuit in your opinion?" Ike asked me aloud.
"Huh?" I looked at him with strange expression since he didn't even bother to whisper. As I feared, his question attracted a lot of attention and disgust from girls but mostly disgust.
"We are gathering every male student's opinions. We thought that Hasebe-san would take a lead but she wasn't wearing a swimsuit the other day so right now Kushida-san is winning." Ike continued talking even though he was receiving disgusted glares.
I already memorized all the student's faces and names. When I thought of the name Hasabe I immediately understood why she should be first. These guys were actually rating boobs size and not actual girl...
It's already rude to rate girls like that but he even shamelessly mention it aloud. Is he trying to bury me alive? How can I answer that question... When I say no one then girls might secretly get mad and guys will think that I have a problem with my orientation. If I will vote for Kushida, girls will think that I chose her for her boobs and they will throw me disgusted glares. There is simply no right answer. Sometimes I think that these guys should make test questions, the failure rate will increase up to 50%. Think...what answer wouldn't make girls angry while make other guys accept my opinion.
"Eh... I think Matsushita-san looked cute." I am sorry for mentioning your name. I closed my eyes and apologized to Chiaki inside my head. Why I chose her? It's simple, she is an average girl in this class, no one will think I chose her for the size of her boobs and guys will probably accept that I might like average girls like her, however, my answer started a loud discussion inside the classroom and one who probably received the greatest surprise was no other than Chiaki.
"Eeeeh?!" Chiaki shrieked out aloud.
"Are you ok Matsushita-san? You seem a little red." Kushida showed her concern for Chiaki when she heard her shriek out.
I thought it was a good answer, however, it only started another annoying situation. At least girls weren't looking at me with disgust, some of them even looked at me with a bit of admiration. Of course, I wasn't aware of the reason behind it.
I was teased for my answer by the boys in my class for the rest of the day.
I received a message on my phone while I was walking towards dorms. I stopped for a second to read the message.
Kushida wants to hold a study session with others? I don't really need to go there but if I won't be seen studying then I might become suspicious, plus I might be able to exploit more information about my classmates. Names of people who will be joining are Haruki Yamauchi, Kanji Ike, Ken Sudo, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji, Suzune Horikita and of course Kushida.
I guess it won't hurt to join, I wanted to do something about Sudo a few days ago and I can always talk with Ayanokoji-kun if it gets boring. I feel like he is the most mature person in the entire class so I can easily get along with him.
I sent a message to Kushida that I will join in.

I should have remained in my room. The 3 idiots Yamauchi, Ike, and Sudo had problems with solving quite easy questions which wouldn't be a problem in itself but Horikita just kept on looking down on them and had few rude remarks. Sudo couldn't take it anymore, he got up and tried to get hold of Horikita's collar, however, I caught his hand before he could do that.
"Sudo-kun, aren't you ashamed by getting angry because of the girl talking down to you?" I said to him after catching his hand.
"How is that your problem?!" He said aloud with a bit of force and tried to escape my grip. I narrowed my eyes before tightening my grip so he couldn't escape.
"I heard you play basketball, do you really think you will be able to play basketball without any studying? Do you really think that you will become a professional player without any hardships? This is only a fool's dream, no matter how good you are, in this age, no club will accept you if you have only middle school education." I criticized his attitude towards studying.
"Fine! I will give it another try but do something about her attitude too." Sudo said and pointed with his finger at Horikita.
"Horikita-san I also think that it's no good to talk down to someone when they try their best." Kushida joined in to help.
We were somehow able to survive most of the evening without any further incident. When the 3 idiots left Horikita started complaining.
"If they will hold the entire class back due to their attitudes, it would be better if they get expelled"
I would agree under the normal circumstances, however, at this school, this kind of thinking would only hurt you. If someone fucks something up, the entire class will suffer. If someone gets expelled, the entire class will suffer even more. This school is built by the government, they wouldn't teach us how to abandon our "friends" because it could backfire them. A person should know when to abandon someone for a greater good of the state. This is not one of these situations, Horikita is only trying to make her life easier by abandoning the weights. You have to learn how to carry those weights and how to turn them into a weapon.
"Walker-kun, Ayanokoji-kun, you both are average but at least you have some common knowledge." That was probably a "praise" from Horikita.
"I try..." I and Ayanokoji both answered the same way at the same time. We both looked at each other.
"You both are really similar with an exception Walker-kun being more sociable than Ayanokoji-kun." This time Horikita attacked Ayanokoji with her words.
"I will try to talk to them more maybe they will dedicate more of their time to studying." Kushida tried to reassure Horikita.
"Whatever..." Horikita got up and started to leave the library.
*sigh* "I will go too, I am pretty tired today." I got up from my seat too.
----At night----
I wasn't able to get much information about these idiots in the end... What a waste of time. Now I can't sleep. I thought of the last thing I saw before my death in the past. I guess I will go outside to stargaze for a while.
When I walked out of the dorms I saw Ayanokoji stand near a vending machine. I should at least say hi. I came to him and nodded at him, however, it seemed that his attention was somewhere else. I kept quiet and looked in the same direction as him.
2 people were arguing there, it was Horikita and student council president, Horikita Manabu.
Well, it was more like him criticizing Horikita. So they are really related huh?
He pinned Horikita against the wall and she shuddered. I guess I discovered one of her weaknesses.
"My own little sister, assigned to class D. I am the one bearing all the shame. Leave This School, right now." Manabu said aloud
It started to look a bit dangerous... He even started to get ready to drive his hand into her stomach. At that moment Ayanokoji sprinted towards them and caught Manabu's arm before he could hurt Horikita.
Nice save, however, I doubt it will end with that. I can't see any security cameras in that alley. Might as well record a good show.
I took out my phone and started recording.
"Ayanokoji-kun... stop it." Horikita told him in a weak voice.
Ayanokoji did as she told and let go of Manabu's hand, however, that gave an opportunity to Manabu to swing with that hand towards Ayanokoji's head. He was able to dodge with ease but it was an only distraction and a high kick was coming towards his face but he once again to dodged the high kick by a hair.
It looked like he dodged by a hair but I was able to see that he had no problem of dodging that. Seeing them fight made my blood boil and seeing the skill Ayanokoji showed furthered my desire to fight him. Hehe, I knew you weren't just an average guy without social skills.
Hmm, should I show myself? Should I blackmail student council president? Should I make him owe me a favor?
It would definitely look bad if I didn't show myself since Ayanokoji already knows I am here. As for blackmail idea... it would probably backfire at me, he is after all still student council president and I have little to none information about S-system.
*clap* *clap* *clap* I started clapping to get their attention.
"Walker-kun too?" Horikita definitely didn't expect me to be here too.
"Student council president pinning a girl against the wall and then attacks a student, even a junior. Tch, tch I don't think that's a good example for students don't you think so senpai?" I ignored Horikita's question and continued to walk closer.
When I was close enough I showed Manabu display of my phone which was showing a video of him attacking Ayanokoji.
Perhaps he had still some adrenalin in him left from fighting Ayanokoji. He tried to take my phone but I quickly evaded his hand, then he tried to kick me into the stomach. I caught his leg with my right hand, however, I still felt a bit of pain from stopping it with only one hand. Heh, the power behind that kick wasn't small. If it was me in the past I would be happy if I stopped it with both hands without them being broken in the process.
"Heh, now it is already 3 students..." I said with a wide smile.
"What do you two practice?"
Well, almost every martial art.
"Piano and calligraphy." Ayanokoji said with his stoic face
Really?
"I am not focused on anything particular." I practically told him the truth.
"You perhaps don't want this video to be spread right? How about I delete it before you and you will owe me one?"
"Are you not afraid I will go against my promise?" Manabu asked me which made my smile even wider.
"You must know what it means if I don't really care right?" I asked him.
"You are that confident huh?" Manabu was able to comprehend meaning in my words.
I deleted a video right before him and he eased up a bit.
"Anyway, I heard that there is a new 1st-year student who scored exactly 50 in every subject on his entrance exam. You got 50 points on the first exam, too. Was it intentional?" Manabu asked Ayanokoji
Really? If you want to stay low profile at least score different points like me.
"Coincidences can be scary sometimes." Ayanokoji said without any change in his expression.
"I heard that there is a 1st-year student who scored 50,51,52,53.. on his entrance exam. I also read your report from your middle school but your physical ability doesn't match your body, we tried to investigate you a bit further but it looked like you didn't even exist before going to that middle school" This time he started talking about me.
Why do you even read reports of students that go to class D? And what is suspicious about scoring 1 point more on each subject? This can at least be explained as coincidence...
"Well, I am not native as you can see and I don't see any problems in my entrance exam results" I spread out my hands.
"Hmm, Suzune, I am genuinely surprised that you were able to make friends."
Hey, don't drag me in. I am not her friend...
This night was pretty good, I was able to get student council president to owe me a favor.
