Two sides.

"Can you promise me, right now, that you won't tell anyone what you saw?" Kushida said in a dark tone.

Before Ayanokoji could even nod in response, their conversation was abruptly interrupted by a cheerful noise. Both Kushida and Ayanokoji turned their heads to see Yuto standing there with a devious smile.

"And that's a cut!" Yuto exclaimed triumphantly, holding up his phone.

Kushida's shock was evident as she realized Yuto had recorded everything. "Kiyo-chan, if I wasn't here right now, you would undoubtedly be in a pinch! Guess you owe me one!" Yuto teased, sticking out his tongue mockingly.

Ayanokoji could only nod in agreement, acknowledging Yuto's unexpected intervention. Meanwhile, Kushida gritted her teeth, clearly frustrated by the turn of events. "How long have you been there?" she demanded, her voice laced with irritation.

"Since around the time you started threatening Kiyo-chan for some reason," Yuto replied casually.

Ayanokoji inwardly, breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Yuto hadn't overheard any of the insults Kushida had directed at Horikita.

'If he had, Kushida would likely be expelled within a week... she still has her uses.' Ayanokoji thought inwardly.

"I hope you won't reveal to the class this side of me." Kushida said in an annoyed tone "I won't. I don't see any pros in doing that." Kushida looked a little bit relaxed, took a deep breath and said in her normal cheerful tone.

"Thank god! If you had, I would have sabatoged the entire class!"

Yuto grimaced, "Gosh! Aren't you a two-sided bitch! Well, I have no right to say that.." Kushida looked a bit confused by Yuto's last comment but attempted to diffuse the tension by suggesting they call it a day..

They all quickly agreed.

The next morning, Yuto found himself surrounded by many of his classmates, all wearing expressions of astonishment and awe. They bombarded him with a single question.

"Kazuki-kun, how on earth did you manage to get a perfect hundred?!" Yukimura asked, tensed. 

Yuto chuckled modestly in response. "I suppose I'm just good at memorizing," he said casually. "But I couldn't have done it without Kushida-san's help over there."

Kushida, still seething from the events of the previous night, tried to avoid interacting with Yuto. However, he seemed determined to include her in the conversation, constantly throwing her into situations where she had no choice but to participate. Despite her frustration, Kushida begrudgingly played along, her resentment simmering just beneath the surface.

"Oh no, your too kind! You were the only one in all the 4 sections to get a perfect hundred! It was clearly your own achivment! Kushida said with a twitching grin.

Yuto's grin widened at Kushida's response. He could easily sense her discomfort, knowing full well that she had tried to avoid him for just a single period. Purposefully creating situations like this to provoke her had become something of a game for him. Calling him a sadist would be a massive understatement.

"I'm going to be asked out right here!" Ichinose exclaimed.

"Ok then.. good job but can you explain what's that got to do with me?" Yuto said with a puzzled frown.

Ichinose pulled a love letter out of her pocket and said, "well, You s-see, I don't feel the same way but I don't know how to turn them down without hurting them so.." She paused and a great amount of pink was visible on her face as she stuttered. "I-I w-want y-yo-you to be MY BOYFRIEND!" she finally declared.

Yuto's typically stoic expression gave way to a sudden flush of bright red as he vigorously shook his head. "No, no," he blurted out in a rush, "I'm sorry, but my heart belongs elsewhere! Please don't be disheartened. You are truly beautiful, and I'm certain you'll find someone who appreciates that!" His words tumbled out in a hurried stream, his voice reflecting a mix of apology and encouragement.

Realizing her mistake, Ichinose's face mirrored Yuto's embarrassment as she hastily corrected herself. "No, no, I mean a PRETEND boyfriend! PRETEND!" she clarified, her cheeks still flushed with embarrassment.

Yuto's confusion was evident as he questioned, "But why me? There are plenty of other people you could choose from."

Ichinose averted her gaze, nervously fidgeting with her fingers. "Well, it would be more believable if I said you were my boyfriend, considering you're quite popular and all," she explained hesitantly.

Before Yuto could respond, their conversation was interrupted by a voice calling out to them. Turning around, they saw a girl on the verge of tears. Ichinose forced a smile, attempting to diffuse the tension. "Oh, Chihiro-chan, I'm sorry for bringing Kazuki-kun into this, umm" she began, but Chihiro's question cut her off.

"Is he your boyfriend?" Chihiro asked, her voice trembling with emotion.

Yuto quickly interjected, "No, we're just friends," he assured, turning to Ichinose with a whispered piece of advice. "Hey, speaking from experience here, rejecting someone's first confession is always tough. Being honest with them about your feelings would be the best approach."

With a nod of understanding, Yuto turned to leave, adding, "Call me afterward if you need anything."

Ichinose watched him go, feeling a mixture of gratitude and embarrassment. Taking a deep breath, she turned back to Chihiro, ready to address the situation with honesty and kindness.

"Ugh, I forgot my bag in class," Yuto groaned to himself as he made his way back to his classroom. However, his attention was quickly diverted when he spotted Sudo and three other students gathered at the special annex. Yuto couldn't help but notice the tension in the air, sensing that a confrontation might be imminent. "Looks like a fight was about to break out," he muttered under his breath.

Approaching Sudo with a friendly smile, Yuto called out to him. Sudo's expression softened at the sight of Yuto, his tense demeanor momentarily easing. "Hey, Yuto," he greeted with a hint of relief.

Stopping in front of Sudo, Yuto spoke in a calm voice, his tone firm yet gentle. "Dude, you should really consider avoiding these fights. It's not worth it. Learning to ignore idiots is a much better approach," he advised, hoping to impart some wisdom to his friend.

Sudo hesitated for a moment, clearly conflicted. After a brief pause, he reluctantly nodded in agreement, understanding the wisdom in Yuto's words.

Suddenly, one of the 3 shout, "Who the hell are you to call us Idoits huh?! Want me to beat up your pretty face you bastard?" Yuto sarcastically smiled and shrugged, "seems like this one really lacks basic intellect." THe guy was about to pounce on Yuto when Ishizaki stopped him, "Kondo, his Kazuki Yuto and we should avoid this conflict and ask Ryuuen what to do." The guy involuntaryly stopped and after that, they proceeded to leave.

'Seems like this 'Ryuuen' is there ring leader' Yuto thought. Meanwhile Sudo said in a happy tone, "Thanks Yuto! I almost fell for those bastards trap!" Yuto grinned, "I'm suprised you found out that was a trap." completely forgeting that Ishizaki just said so.
