#7 Ayanokoji Kiyotaka

It was the first day of the school, well... the second day but the first day of actual classes. Most of the people were either playing with their phones or taking a nap and the teacher didn't even care which doesn't make any sense. This should be a prestigious school.

No wonder that class D is considered the worst class, this even enhanced my belief that we won't be getting another 100.000 points next month. What kind of idiotic government would pay money for such lazy idiots? Even when you are at work and you already did your job for the day, you are still required to be there fully awake in case of some unexpected situation. The teacher herself said that points are allocated based on merits but who said that they won't take away our points based on demerits?

I already heard some students boasting about the things they bought during the break. It's the same with little children, you will offer them a handful of sweets instantly or if they can wait for a few days they will get 10 times more. Of course, most of them will take them immediately. This school is probably using a similar tactic to train students.

It was currently a break and I was approached by one girl. She has long brown hair and blue eyes, average height. If I remember correctly her name is Matsushita Chiaki.

"Walker-kun, can I ask you a bit personal question?" Matsushita asked me with an insecure smile.

I still can't get used to these honorifics...plus it seems that she is a bit afraid of me, I guess I should make her more comfortable before she starts crying and I will become public enemy number 1.

"We are classmates so there is no need to be so polite. Ask right away, please" I said with a light smile because if I showed her my wide and "friendly" smile, she would perhaps piss herself. My appearance was still the same, "Accelerator" like appearance and his smiles were best at intimidating people not comforting them that's also the reason why I usually wore a poker face.

"The thing is, we are interested in getting to know you better and we wanted to ask about your origin or parents, you don't have to answer if you think it's too personal."

We? So you are just a representative of your "we" group. I guess it won't hurt telling them, after all, it's fake information anyway.

"No problem... My mom is Japanese and dad is from England. They met each other when dad was on a business trip and in the end, he stayed here. I was born in Japan." That should cover it.

"I see...to be honest with you Walker-kun, I thought of you as someone dangerous but I guess you are the same as us, please don't be offended by me for thinking like that." Matsushita perhaps got more comfortable and confessed that she thought of me rudely.

Well, not like I care anyway.

"None taken. I am glad I was able to clear that misunderstanding" I thought for a while if I should tell her about points but I gave up on that idea. I will need to make contact with Karuizawa, I don't want to attract too much attention, at least not yet. Even though it seems pretty easy to understand, these students from class D would look at me as someone smart to be able to deduce that we won't be getting full 100.000 points.

Matsushita sent me a last smile before walking away to a group of girls. I guess that's the "we" group, I could hear them giggling and whispering but I couldn't understand what they were talking about.

I looked around the class to find Karuizawa but when I found her I was disappointed, she was within the group of girls. There goes my chance to help you and class, stupid girl. I was able to notice how much she has changed since her childhood. She was no longer that hardworking and confident girl. Something big must have happened to her in the past but now I have no time to deal with her.

I need to somehow tell others not to spend too many points. I can leave a message on each student's seat but the thing is, how many of them would take it seriously? Plus I would have to do it tomorrow which would give them 1 more day to spend their points.

I folded my hands and closed my eyes to think more efficiently. Think... who should I talk to? Who could help me without any questioning... Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, Hirata Yosuke.

These two names appeared in my mind, however, I immediately eliminated Hirata as an option, because of his ability to attract attention, if I went to him it would be the same as saying aloud:

!Fellow classmates please don't use your points recklessly!

I could hear Ayanokoji-kun speaking with prima-donna named Suzune Horikita. They are on quite good terms with each other, I could make use of it.

I waited until they stopped talking and got up.

"Yo" I simply said to Ayanokoji-kun to attract his attention.

"Huh?" He seemed quite out of it that someone even wanted to talk to him.

"Cafeteria?" With people like Ayanokoji-kun, it's best to use simple phrases. Loners are able to talk through silence and small talk.

I didn't even wait for his answer and I started to walk slowly towards the classroom door. After a small delay, he got up and followed after me.

"You are named Walker-kun, right? Is there something you wanted to discuss with me?"

"Thanks for remembering my name Ayanokoji-kun and yes, I have indeed something to discuss with you" I answered him with a smile while handing to him a sandwich.

"Thanks... I don't remember cafeteria having these kinds of sandwiches" Ayanokoji-kun looked curiously at the sandwich from all sides but his expression still remained stoic.

"Heh, don't worry it's not poisoned. I made these myself since it can save more points." I looked amusedly at him and reassured him.

"Why do you want to save points?" He asked me in a confused voice but I already knew he was faking it.

"To tell you the truth, I think you already know why..." I said to him in a teasing way.

"I think you really overestimate me" I already expected that he would deny it so I didn't pursue it.

As for why I thought he knew? He had different air, an aura around him than other students, he was too calm and many other examples. Of course, it was just an assumption and I had no proof but after living in the wildness for more than 9 years I developed a lot of skills that can't be taught in normal situations. For example alarm in my head that was ringing whenever I was in the danger.

"Well, I don't expect you to reveal your secrets so let me explain it to you. Don't you think that 100.000 points for every student monthly are too much? Even if it's financed by the government, they wouldn't pay money to lazy bastards. Chabashira-sensei even said that you can get points based on your merits, however, do you really think that they would give even more than 100.000 points to students? But if merits can't get you more than 100.000 points why would you need any merits at all... because she didn't mention demerits." I explained in a simple way but I had a hunch that Ayanokoji-kun already deduced it.

"I see your point... and it also makes sense but what do you want me to do?" Ayanokoji-kun asked me with a confused voice but his face still remained stoic.

"Your prima-donna friend..."

"My what?" This time he sounded really confused without faking it.

"Horikita Suzune." I said with a smile so wide that it showed my white teeth.
