Chapter 25 : Initiate attack

One day before winter vacation, a large typhoon was about to make landfall in Class D. This happened after homeroom ended, and as soon as it was over, Ryuen and the C class showed up to the D class.

Ishizaki, Alberto, Komiya, and Kondo also appear and the classroom is suddenly buzzing with their unexpected visit.

Sudo is the first to react to Ryuen. However, Hirata saw this and hurriedly got in between him and Ryuen, perhaps fearing that Sudo would intervene.

"Is there something you need for my class, Ryuen-kun?"

"Is there any reason why you shouldn't visit your classmates' classes? Anyway, what are you so scared of?"

That's right, I want to say that anyone would be scared if a thug like you came, but Hirata

 calmly confronts Ryuen who is acting like a provocation.

"Of course, that's usually the case. But I'm sure you've never visited D-Class like this before, have you?"

"We've been too distant up until now, so I just wanted to be a little more proactive from now on."

However, Ryuen barely looked at Hirata and looked around the classroom. If the target isn't Hirata, it's me, Kiyotaka, Akihito or Keisei, but I'll ignore all of them.

In the end, Ryuen caught an unexpected student.

Without thinking that he was being watched, or even caring, that person got ready to go home, stood up, and started to leave the classroom.

Ryuen smiled faintly and signaled his friends to leave the classroom immediately. When Ryuen and the others leave, the tense atmosphere in the classroom clears up and the class begins to make noise.

"Hey, it looks like the guy from Ryuen is going to do something amazing! Would you like to follow me?"

"I mean, I wonder what they're planning on doing to Koenji!?"

The person Ryūen was looking for was Rokusuke Koenji, a D-class maverick. Ike and Yamauchi were the main ones, and they were making a fuss and started fantasizing about themselves.

"Jin, Kiyotaka. Would you like to go check on him?"

I accepted Akito's invitation and decided to follow him. Hirata also came out of the classroom with a worried look on his face, it seemed like things were going to be rough.

"This could really start a war."

Sudo clenches his fist and says to Horikita while breathing heavily, it makes no sense. Are you an idiot, Sudo?

"Please stop joking. Class C and D are kidding about gang violence."

As I left the school and reached the tree-lined road that marked the junction to the dormitory, I saw the C class students, and I could even see Koenji in the distance.It seemed like they were seriously planning on attacking Koenji.

I decided to take a look at the scene.

"Hey, wait Koenji, lend me a little time."

"What is it, you guys? I don't remember doing anything that would make me stop."

Koenji, whose path was blocked by Ishizaki, is probably in a bit of a bad mood, but I don't see him laughing out loud.

"You're not the one to judge that."

"Hmm, I'm sure it's not you."

Koenji looked around at the C-class's appearance, and his eyes didn't show the slightest hint of anxiety or impatience; in fact, he seemed relaxed.

"You remember me, right?"

Ryuen and Koenji face each other with their hands in their pockets.

"Of course I remember. You're a naughty boy from C class, right?"

"I'll ask you to go out with me today, you weirdo."

"I have to ask, you weirdo, do you mean me?"

That's right, I want to dig into it.

Koenji, who was told that he would not be returning to Ryūen, thought for a moment, then pointed to a resting spot ahead and said that they would talk there.

"Ryuen-kun, what are you planning to do here?"

"Kuku, did you come here because you were dragged?"

Ryuen seems to have been able to predict that they would arrive from the beginning, and he turns around and carefully observes this side, but it is probably a trap to narrow down the person he is looking for.If not, he is a martial artist. I won't take you into the D class.

"Horagasaki, Ayanokoji, Miyake and Yukimura, I think it's pretty safe. Of these, Horagasaki seems like it, right?"

Ryuen looks at me with a grin on his face.

"I'm here too, Ryuen."

"What happened to Hirata?"

Wow, this guy completely ignored Sudo.

"Well, I guess he's not interested?"

"Let him go. If he has a strong sense of justice, it wouldn't be strange for him to be here."

"It's just that things don't always go the way you plan."

"Well, that's fine, for today."

Ryuen gives instructions with his chin and has Ishizaki and his friends surround Koenji.

Horikita sees this and tries to stop him, but Koenji looks in the mirror and speaks calmly.

"I don't mind playing around, but then you don't need me, do you?"

Koenji complains about Ryuen who calls him and talks to other people.

"That's right, you're the main character this time, Koenji. Besides, I owe you one thing."

"Unfortunately, I don't remember it."

"I missed the points because you cleared the zodiac test."

"Ah, that lying game. It was my fault if I got in your way."

Although Koenji apologizes, he doesn't think it's his fault in the slightest. Koenji replied to the C class who looked at him suspiciously.

"It's a little windy today. I'm just checking to make sure my nice and cool set hasn't fallen apart. Hmm... it's a bit disheveled and lacking in beauty. Sorry, but I don't have a mirror with me. shellfish?"

With that said, Koenji held out the mirror to Ryuen, who took it with a fearless smile on his face.

"Keep it facing me."

That's right, Koenji took out some hard wax from his bag, put it on his fingertips, and started setting it up.C-Class was taken aback and couldn't get into this abnormality.

However, the next moment, a strong sound echoed, and Ryuen threw the hand mirror he had received from Koenji, slamming it into the ground.Ryuen then grabbed Koenji's arm.

"How long can you keep that weirdo side like that?"

Koenji let out a quiet breath as he adjusted his hair.

"Don't be naughty, that hand mirror is quite expensive"

"Too bad, my hand slipped."

"Hehe, I can't help it then. Now, could you please let go of your grip on my arm? I can't set it up properly. I'm a good guy even with his hair messed up, though."

In the tingling atmosphere, Ryuen lets go of Koenji's arm.

"Come to think of it, it seems like a very interesting combination."

This commotion was not limited to just the D-class and C-class; members of the A-class, led by Sakayanagi, who had heard the rumors, also showed up. Among them were Masumi and Hashimoto, and there was another person we were seeing for the first time. It's probably like A class has also attracted martial artists.

"Sakayanagi huh...It's like you planned the timing."

It was a truly gorgeous gathering, with people stopping to tap their canes lightly on the concrete . There are 7 of us in class D, 5 in class C, and 4 in class A. A total of 16 people will be gathered together.

"I came here by chance."

"Don't make me laugh."

"In any case, it's a gathering of the main members of C-class and those who have a presence in D-class. Are you planning to consult us about the Christmas party from now on?"

"Stay back, I don't need you."

"You don't have to say that, right? It's more fun to have a party with a large number of people, right?"

Ryūen did not respond to Sakayanagi's provocation. Sakayanagi, who kept a little distance from him, sat down on the bench, and in front of her, three people, including Masumi, sat down as if to protect her.

In this atmosphere, it wouldn't be strange for a violent incident to occur… 

Then Koenji among the members of this famous group spoke up.

"I don't mind if the number of galleries increases, but can we start talking now? If not, I'll let you go home."

"Sorry, I was late due to various interruptions. Let's get to the main topic now."

"Judging from the situation, it seems like you are probably obsessed with defeating those who get in the way of Class C or the people who unite other classes, but is that not the case?"

"That's right, all eyesores are enemies and we will crush them."

"And now, a person has appeared from within D-class who will disturb you. We are looking for that disturber, right?"

"That's how it is"

Koenji seemed to understand without Ryuen even speaking.

"Then I'm not suitable for you. I have no interest in the fate of D-class, so I wonder if it would be interesting to deal with someone like that."

"That's strange, how do you explain the Zodiac test?"

"Wow, you seem to know quite a bit. That was just killing time. I didn't feel like attending all those troublesome gatherings over and over again."

Koenji takes out his cell phone and sets it to internal camera mode, apparently using it as a substitute for the hand mirror that was smashed by Ryuen. You're seriously amazing.

"Then, we cannot rule out the possibility that you participated in something other than the Zodiac Test. In other words, there is no guarantee that you are not controlling Class D."

"That's true, but if you're the kind of person who comes to that conclusion, you're an idiot with only that level of intelligence."

Ishizaki tries to get in trouble for Koenji's provocation, but even though Ryuen laughs and stops him, Koenji still ends up arguing with him.

"Kuku, that's true. If you're telling the truth, then you're harmless to humans and animals."

"Jesus, I don't hate you because you're so understanding, Dragon Boy."

Sakayanagi laughs when Dragon Boy gets caught, but I laugh too. However, Ryuen shifts the conversation to a different vector.

"What if I let these guys lynch you here? What if they try to control you with senseless violence?"

Horikita was about to react to the disturbing atmosphere, but before she could, Koenji laughed.

"That's a nonsensical question, isn't it? You don't choose that option here. If you choose that decision, I will knock out everyone who comes my way to protect myself and my pride."

"You think you can do it by yourself?"

"It's harder to think of reasons why i can't do it."

Sakayanagi smiles as she hears an interesting exchange, and Ryūen concludes that Koenji is not a strategist.

Well, it's true that Koenji is just crazy…

"But let me ask you one thing, Koenji, the D-class is steadily increasing its points. If you're not the smart guy who's in charge of that, then who is it? Is one of them here?"

Koenji looked at us and said to Ryuen.

"I don't mind answering that question."

"Would you mind a little?"

Sakayanagi, who was sitting on a bench, opened her mouth to interrupt Koenji's words.

"You're telling an interesting story. I heard a rumor that there is a student in class D who watches over C class, and that Dragon Boy is looking for that student. Is that true?"

"I told you to shut up, Sakayanagi, and the next time you call me that, I'll kill you."

"Hehe, don't you like it? I think you have a wonderful naming sense."

Sakayanagi claims that all of Ryuen's plans were destroyed due to a fluke. It seems that Ryūen's behavior of interrogating unrelated students is unseemly.

"My plans were ruined because of X, but that's not the problem. It's about bringing out the people working behind the scenes."

"If that's the case, it's not only unseemly, but it also reveals your incompetence, right? I've heard from Masumi-san and Hashimoto-kun about the strategy you set up on the deserted island. This is where you played an active role in that exam in the first place. Is it Suzune Horikita? Does the person you are looking for actually exist?"

Sakayanagi's sharp gaze and words attack Ryūen.

"...Isn't that an excuse for the plan to go awry?"

A student with long, black, curly hair that hung down to his shoulders in Class A, matching his stride with Sakayanagi, mumbled in a low voice.

"That's an exaggeration, Kito. Ryuen isn't that foolish."

Hashimoto said this, coming to Ryuen's defense. However, Ryuenshowed no signs of faltering or disturbance at all.

"Are we done talking? You guys seem to like to play around with each other. But please don't disturb me any further."

"Wait, Koenji, I haven't heard your answer yet."

Koenji looking up at the sky as if remembering it

"I never thought about it, but wouldn't it be better not to answer anyway? I don't want to deprive you of your enjoyment. I'm here enjoying my youth with beautiful women. Fall in love, build each other up, and continue to pursue your own beauty. That's it.''

"So you don't participate in class conflicts?"

"It's always been and always will be. C-class and A-class are the same to me. You guys are boring."

Before Ishizaki could strike Koenji, Sakayanagi was caught off guard by Koenji's words.

"You don't let things slide, huh? Leaving aside Dragon Boy..."

As Sakayanagi made this statement, Ryuen swiftly closed the distance and unleashed a merciless kick.

"Wha--!?"

Hashimoto hastily intervened, guarding with his left arm. However, he was sent flying by the powerful blow and fell to the ground.

"Did I offend you?"

"I did say I'd kill you if you called me again, didn't I?"

"Oh, my apologies, Ryuen-kun. I might have teased too much. But going back to the point, what do you mean by 'bored,' including myself?"

It seems Sakayanagi is more concerned about Koenji than Ryuen. Horikita is visibly shaken, and it's not surprising she's exasperated. The members here have exceptionally strong personalities.

"You didn't like what I said that much, did you, little girl?"

"Kuku, little girl, huh? That's a pretty good naming sense, isn't it?"

"Koenji-san, are you sure? You're using English incorrectly, aren't you? I'm not a little girl."

"Fufufufu, that's for me to decide, not you. Once you're old enough and in shape to be called a girl, I'll call you that."

"That's a mistake, little girl is a word only used for elementary school girls, so this world isn't designed to allow you to do whatever you want."

"My style is not to be bound by common sense."

This guy is definitely not a common sense person as he flips his hair .

But why am I convinced...

"...Koenji, do whatever you want."

Kito takes a step forward and tries to remove what looks like a white glove. What, is this guy even a demon?

"I don't have anything to do with A-class, just stay here."

"Hehehe, a little competition over me isn't a bad thing, but unfortunately, I'm only interested in those older than me, whether they're male or female."

To think the leader of Class A and Class C is being tossed around by Koenji alone, he's truly formidable.

"You made the right call by wearing it today. You're free to go now."

"Well then, feel free to see you. Oh, almost forgot. Rich Boy, I'm interested in you."

There's something eerie about that... Koenji's words reached everyone, but members outside of Class D seemed unaware of who Rich Boy referred to.

"Haha, today I've narrowed down my candidates quite a bit. Suzune, to the presence lurking behind you. But this is the end. Look forward to the finale."
