章節 178: -177- The instructed two
////Sorry didn't update yesterday, extra today////
Class D's current situation is unknown to Hori, and he isn't interested in knowing either.
For him, the task is completed after the special exam.
At this moment, Hori is heading to the top deck of the cruise ship.
There, there's a swimming pool, an outdoor café, and various other facilities.
At the beginning of summer vacation, almost all first-year students come here, making it lively with their noise.
But now, since the exams have just ended, naturally, there's not a soul in sight.
Hori didn't linger here but went straight to the stern deck of the ship.
When Hori arrived there, there were already two people waiting.
"So you're here?"
Said a very indifferent voice.
The owner of the voice is Chabashira Sae, the homeroom teacher of Class D.
"You've worked hard."
Chabashira Sae looked at Hori, with the usual lack of emotion on her face.
Hori glanced at Chabashira Sae, then looked at the person standing beside her.
That person, like Hori, left the group of Class D and came here ahead of time.
"As expected."
The other person spoke in an emotionless tone, saying words lacking in emotion.
"You're here too, Nanaya."
Surprisingly, it was Ayanokouji Kiyotaka.
Hori wasn't too surprised by the appearance of Ayanokouji Kiyotaka.
The reason is simple.
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka guessed that Hori would come here.
And Hori, too, was the same.
"I knew it." Hori looked at Ayanokouji Kiyotaka and said indifferently, "Otherwise, your actions would be too inexplicable."
Perhaps others didn't notice the problem in this?
But Hori had noticed it long ago.
"In this special exam, your actions somewhat deviated from your usual reclusive behavior."
Hori opened his mouth with a somewhat amused expression.
Come to think of it, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka did indeed do quite a few things in this special exam.
For example, on the first day of the exam, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka volunteered to join the exploration team, along with Hori and Kouenji Rokusuke, for random exploration.
And, to deceive Ryuen Kakeru's eyes and lead him to guess the wrong leader of Class D, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka also voluntarily revealed the fake name on the key card, allowing Ibuki Mio to take away false leader information.
If we analyze it more meticulously, when Hori was preparing to go to Class C's camp to check their situation, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka also had the inclination to follow actively. However, Horikita Suzune's arrival later dissuaded him, but he still encouraged Horikita Suzune to accompany Hori.
Moreover, at the beginning, it was also thanks to Ayanokouji Kiyotaka that Hori was pushed to become the leader of Class D.
"If it weren't for your 'impulsive' remark, I might not have taken on the role of leading Class D."
Hori looked directly at Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, his somewhat amused expression gradually fading as he spoke.
"For you, these actions are too proactive and assertive. I don't believe there's no reason behind them."
Therefore, Hori had already suspected something.
There must be a reason why Ayanokouji Kiyotaka was so proactive and assertive in his actions.
Thinking back to before the exam started, when Ayanokouji Kiyotaka seemed to have received an email in his room, was called out, and returned with an unusually unpleasant expression, Hori understood.
"Someone, in a way that made you feel somewhat unhappy, prompted you to take action in this special exam and lead Class D to victory."
So, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka went against his usual reclusive nature and did so much.
And it was quite clear who this person was.
Except for Chabashira Sae present, who else could it be?
Chabashira Sae didn't deny it, just silently listened to everything.
As for Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, of course, he knew he couldn't tell clumsy lies in front of Hori.
At present, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka didn't deny it either.
However, facing Hori's gaze, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka said:
"Aren't you the same as me?"
Yes.
Hori was the same as Ayanokouji Kiyotaka.
"Come to think of it, you also did many things in this special exam that you wouldn't have done before, didn't you?"
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka said expressionlessly.
"Is that so?" Hori said nonchalantly. "Wasn't it you who occasionally inspired me with your 'impulsiveness'?"
That's why Hori led Class D.
But...
"Your 'impulsiveness' doesn't need to extend to the future of Class D, just considering the events during the special exam is enough, right?"
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka retorted.
Indeed.
At the request of all the members of Class D, Hori took on the responsibility of leading Class D.
However, leadership is ultimately just leadership.
Everyone just wanted Hori to help Class D get through a week of outdoor life, no one asked him to win first place in the exam.
So, with Hori's personality, he wouldn't engage in this kind of class competition that no one had requested and he had no interest in.
But the result was that Hori not only informed the leaders of Classes A, B, and C but also led Class D to victory, scoring 309 points.
Moreover, besides this, Hori also did other things.
That is, cooperating with Class B.
"In negotiations with Ichinose, you led the conversation towards complete cooperation, successfully forming an alliance between Class B and Class D, which will continue even after this exam is over."
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka pointed this out.
"If it was really just an impulsive desire to lead the class through this special exam, you wouldn't need to consider how beneficial the future cooperation between Class D and Class B could be, right?"
In other words, these actions also aimed at maximizing the benefits for Class D in this exam.
That is to say...
"Like me, were you also instructed by Chabashira-sensei to make Class D rise?"
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka revealed this secret.
Hori finally smiled.
A calm smile.
Then, Hori spoke like this:
"How did this teacher persuade you to act?"
That was Hori's only question.
"Nothing much, just a threat." Ayanokouji Kiyotaka sighed. "If I couldn't do it, I would be expelled. That's how this teacher threatened me."
This was the only situation Ayanokouji Kiyotaka didn't want to see.
Therefore, he reluctantly accepted it and, even though he was very unwilling, took action in secret.
"And how were you persuaded?" Ayanokouji Kiyotaka also asked this question.
And Hori's answer was like this:
"Nothing much, just hired."
That was why Hori acted.
