章節 4: What a hassle!

The very next day, after classes ended, there was a speaker announcement.

[Kazuki Yuto, could you please join us in the student council room.]

Yuto started weeping when he heard the speaker while his classmates wondered what happened. he reluctantly got up and headed towords the door. He threw a glance at Horikita who was talking to Ayanokoji! Yuto bit his lip and started to fake cry out of jealousy. Just then, Horikita made eye-contact with him!

He reached the seventh heaven! But then Horikita got up and started walking towords his direction. Yuto thought, 'Is she walking towards me! No. No way, its probably because I'm near the door. There is no way she would actually come for me.'

He snapped back to reality when someone flicked him on the forehead! "Ouchhh..." he groaned and tilted his head a bit down to see the culprit.

"Horikita-chan!"

"Gald your back in the waking world Kazuki-kun"

Yuto laughed awkwardly and said "Could you enlighten me as to why you're here before me?"

Horikita came closer to Yuto, causing him to panic! 'Is this it? Is she going to kiss me!?" His thoughts were chaotic and only continued to grow even more the closer Horikita got. Until she whisphered into his ear, "Tell me everything about why your going to the student council room and what happens in there later." Yuto, although severely dissappointed, nodded in accord.

All of a sudden, Horikita touched Yuto's thigh! Yuto became a tomato and nearly fainted due to be caught so off-gaurd! "I have slipped my phone number into your pocket. Call me me when you done, AND don't call me for stupid reasons." Horikita commanded. Yuto was understandably overjoyed. He got Horikita's Number!

"Why are you talking so reticently again?"

"To hide from the cameras. I believe student council meetings are strictly confidiencial"

Yuto simply nodded outwardly, yet inwardly, his mind was a whirlwind of conflicting emotions. Happiness mingled with disappointment, anger danced with calmness, but amidst the chaos, a single thought prevailed and echoed relentlessly in his mind

'Too close...'

His cheeks were flushed as he ran out the door without looking back, leaving a confused Horikita and a taciturn Ayanokoji in the classroom as everyone already left.

"What a weird guy.." Horikita mumbled

"He's got more girl power than you" Ayanokoji quipped, shooting a glance at Horikita, who responded with a deadly stare that could melt steel beams. Ayanokoji sighed and calmly asked, "Can you come to the cafe with me?"

"Why?"

"Only girls go there and it makes me feel awkward to walk alone"

Horikita looked at him with a deadpan expression and sighed, "I suppose I have some time to kill waiting for that pervert to complete his job."

Yuto stared at the door in front of him, 'I need emotional support...' Yuto told to himself as an excuse to call Horikita.

[Are you already done?] Horikita asked in a huffy tone.

"No, I just called you-"

Yuto couldn't finish his sentence as Horikita cut the call, prompting Yuto to fake cry. "What a hassle!" he uttered below his breath and opened the door to find Kashio and his gang.

The glass guy was wearing a cast while the other had a swollen face in the area which conneted with Yuto's shoe. Kashio looked better than the rest with only a swollen lip, however Yuto knew that his teeth were fucked! All of them had a girm expression when they saw Yuto

he also saw Sae and another teacher in the far corner of the room.

Sitting at the front of a U-shaped table was a guy with short, jet-black hair and eyes, similar to Horikita?

'Are they related? Is he also going to ask me why I'm looking at him?'

Thankfully, he didn't.

"Mr. Kazuki Yuto. Please take a seat" the black-haired man said. Yuto nodded and took a seat. "Today, we are here to discuss about an unfortunate incident that occured yesterday." he paused and looked at Yuto and continued, "if you could justify the reason to go so far?"

Yuto sighed and calmly replied, "Self-defense." Kishio stood up in outrage and screeched, "How the fuck is this self-defense!"

"You tried to assualt me and your friend over there even committed battery" Yuto spoke in a serious tone. The swollen guy shrieked, " What! That didn't even hurt yo-" "Please mantain decorum." the president spoke.

Kashio grumbled, "Manabu-san, but he provoked us!"

"You 3 came to us first." Yuto scoffed.

"Bastard!" Kashio cursed, while the glass guy looked down recalling the reason why he he did what he did. He shivered. "Mr. Kazuki, you have still taken it to far." The other teacher joined in. Yuto put a cluless face and said, "What do you mean sir, I have only hit one of them. That one punched me on my gut. I feel my actions our justified. The other two missed me and got hurt due to their actions. I am not held responsible." Kashio's jaw twitched as he shouted, "Lies! You tripped me!" Yuto shrugged and calmly replied, "No I didn't"

"YES YOU DID!" Kashio snapped.

"Check the cameras, I didn't."

Manabu raised his hand as a warning to stop and gazed at Kashio and said, "The cameras in fact didn't show any footage of Mr. Kazuki tripping you and even if he did, it is well with in his rights to do so."

Yuto smirked, knowing well he won the argument and said "On the other hand I would like compensation for the hostility shown by them" Kishio's face paled along with his gang, prompting him to shout, "Bastard! You also want compensation after what you did!"

Manabu ignored Kashio and said, "That is fair, what do you wish for?"

Yuto coldly gazed at Kashio's worried look and asked, " Is expulsion valid?" instantly dropping Kashio's and his comrades faces. Manabu nodded. Yuto grinned a little, and thought 'Perfect, now this will be easier...'

Yuto looked at Kashio and smilied warmly, "I would rathar not expel you guys" lighting up the trio's faces. " I'll have to ask something different instead though." he added. However, the trio retained their bright faces, just happy they shall not be expelled.

Yuto's eyes shrinked as he said, "The 3 of you" he paused, "I want all of your points." The trio's eyes widened due to the absurd request! But, what could they do. They either give all there points or be expelled. One was clearly better than the other. So, the trio reluctantly nodded.

Yuto grinned as he said, "Thanks for your patronage!"
