Chapter 5: Meeting Among Class Leader's

[21st October] 

[Third Person Pov] 

A white haired girl with a cane could be seen, walking through the grounds of the school, at a rather secretive location, with whom she decided to meet up.

"Fufu, Kanzaki-kun, you called me?"

"Indeed, I did, Sakayanagi."

Kanzaki, who had crossed his arms until now, looked at Sakayanagi Arisu.

"Would you like to converse with me as a fellow acquaintance who has not yet had the opportunity to converse properly, or is it regarding the Paper Shuffle Exam, Kanzaki-kun?"

He looked slightly uncomfortable, as this was their first real meeting since long, and the topic he would discuss was relating towards something else.

"The latter topic, Sakayanagi. Now that you have full leadership of your class, your decision is final, in every matter. So I'd like to discuss something with you."

"It's all thanks to you, Kanzaki-kun."

He looked in slight confusion. "Thanks to me...?"

"Of course, you must have realized it already, but the reason your class lost in the Zodiac Exam is naturally because of Kurushima-kun, who had accordingly tested whether you did 'betray' your class or not."

"Although I suppose, it was rather to protect them, and not to 'betray' them, in that kind of sense, right?"

"By thinking Ryūen-kun would use this chance to submit both my class and Kurushima's class VIP's, you deliberately went along and gave all 3 of your VIP's, so he could figure the pattern behind the VIP Selection out."

"Your class would go away luckily with just a deduction of 50 Class Points, while everyone's focus would be on Ryūen-kun, naturally."

"And Ichinose-san, she'd be in need to get a quick reality check through these two experiences, where your class did lose."

"With the latter Special Exam, just through pure 'luck' upon Ryūen-kun's mercy, who openly declares that he does not regard your class as a real threat, so he 'spared' your class."

"In truth, however, he could not submit you, through the contract, you two, did. Even Ryūen-kun is not crazy enough to break a contract, so easily."

"Quite unexpected, honestly, I admit, Kanzaki-kun. But I suppose that's to be expected from you, after all."

"Which makes me very curious, did you do something else, too, per example, in the Deserted Island Exam in your class...?"

"I'm not sure what you're talking about, Sakayanagi."

She looked at him, slightly, seeing that he looked at her, in confusion. "Is that so...? I guess you're unaware, too, then..."

"Unaware of what...?"

"Of another hidden 'mastermind' in our year, aside that from Kurushima-kun's class..."

"... And that very own 'mastermind' should be in your class, Kanzaki-kun."

Kanzaki had trouble on following Sakayanagi's words. "... I'm afraid I'm not able to follow you at all, Sakayanagi. What are you trying to tell me...?"

"Fufufu, I suppose I should explain everything from the beginning, shouldn't I?"

"Well, let's phrase it like this: Ryūen-kun's victory in the Island Exam... it was not supposed to initially happen."

Upon hearing these words, he looked in evidential shock. But he remained quiet, intending to listen Sakayanagi's explanation to the very end.

Although his confusion remained still the same. 

"Someone manipulated Ryūen-kun, and his class, manipulated X, the individual behind the current Class A's victory, with 195 Class Points, and did predict how everything would go out, since the very beginning."

She stopped for now, having left Kanzaki more than enough clues, to figure things out himself. "... You said that this 'mastermind' who predicted all of this should be in my class. What makes you think like this...?"

"Fufufu... Kanzaki-kun, you see, apparently, two pieces of messages were found on Kaneda-kun's jacket, at Day 2 or 3. No, excuse me, let me rephrase it more correctly, two pieces of Anagram's, more precisely."

"Although as far as the contents of these messages go, I'm afraid I have no idea."

"... Do you expect me to believe that, Sakayanagi...? Perhaps it's someone from your class, who happened to see our Camp Spot during the first two days, where some of your classmates did appear, nearby, at the very least."

"... Fufu, I'm honored that you think so highly about my other classmates, but I'm afraid no one of them is capable of predicting all of this, Kanzaki-kun, nor has the abilities to pull such a thing off."

"No one of them, you say? So you're implying you could have predicted the strategy of Class A's 'mastermind' behind the Island Exam, then?"

"Indeed, but as far as manipulating Ryūen-kun goes, I'm afraid that's where I'd be uncertain, at the very least. He's quite unpredictable, after all, I suppose..."

"If it's not your class, nor that of Ryūen's, it's in the end, between mine and Class A's, then...?"

"Fufufu, that's something you'll have to find out..."

"But until now, all evidence suggests the person to be in your class, Kanzaki-kun."

"I doubt Ryūen would not have asked his teacher for confirmation whether someone did appear or not, either..." he murmured in thought.

"Indeed, he'd have asked for this confirmation at the very least, I believe. And some teacher's, they do get loquacious sometimes, when it's just under two-eyes. It's not just a simple competition among student's, after all..."

Kanzaki nodded, agreeing with her. There might be a paycheck for the class that graduates from Class A, but perhaps also the ambition and pride of the teacher's in the line, who also went to this school.

It's not a far-fetched scenario, in particular, when he heard that Sakagami, the homeroom teacher of Ryūen's class, did take a more active role in the trial against Sudo, to his knowledge, which he, normally shouldn't.

So if Ryūen asked indirectly, where his teacher can answer, it should be possible. 

"... But why would you be willing to tell me this information, Sakayanagi...? There's no benefit for you, in there, for telling me all of this..."

No matter what, he could not find a conclusion as to why she'd be willing to tell him all this, in retrospect. 

"Fufu, I suppose, you could regard it like that, since I'm clearly not benefiting from giving you this information at all. Let's see it like this..."

"I'd like to have an information quell among your class, and you being one of my acquaintances, does help out."

"I see... I'm afraid I'll have to dec—"

"Fufufu, speak no further, I do know that, already."

'Although, if you try on making that mysterious person called 'Y' as your leader or have them cooperate with your class, I'll be more than satisfied, already.' 

'They'll be one additional opponent I can crush...'

'Kanzaki will soon make his own investigations regarding this matter...' 

Sakayanagi thought, in slight amusement. 

"Where were we again, Kanzaki-kun...? Ah, the Paper Shuffle Exam..."

"Yes..." he composed himself, back.

"I'd like you to attack Ryūen's class."

"I'm afraid I'll have to decline, Kanzaki-kun..."

'After all, I'm quite interested what Ayanokoji-kun has planned for Ryūen. Besides, I might as well reduce Class D's Class Points, further.' 

With an amused smirk, she walked away. 

In the meanwhile, Kurushima, the true 'mastermind' behind both the Island Exam, the Zodiac Exam, and the Sports Festival could be seen swimming, with his girlfriend, Hiyori Shiina. 

--

[22nd October]

All four leaders of their respective classes were seen in the teacher's office, being responsible in secretively writing which class they'd face on a piece of Paper.

And if there are one or more similarities, immediately a draw from the lottery would be made. 

Each one of them had already prepared one piece of paper, and had given them to their homeroom teacher, but now, it'd be announced whether there would be unanimities regarding which class attacks who or not.

If it was the case, the respective people present here would draw a lot. If not, these results would be official.

Out of that reason, these four were here present, who were the leader's of their respective classes, for the responsibility of drawing lots.

But in this room, no one paid much attention to Ichinose, at all. Kurushima, Sakayanagi, and Ryūen, they did not regard her as a real threat.

Ichinose looked nervously, Ryūen looked to Ichinose, whether she decided on attacking him or Kurushima. 

His class was slightly better in academics, but in comparison to these two classes, Sakayanagi and Ichinose, they were not really that far.

"Kurushima, let me tell you this, but my class chose to attack your class."

"Is that so...? Then don't mind us doing the same, then, Ryūen-kun."

Upon hearing that, Ichinose got very nervously. Since her losses in every Exam she was already deprived, but now this, too. 

Kurushima confirmed right now that his class would be also attacking Ryūen-kun, the class they chose, to attack, among the three classes.

So in that essence, it'd come to the drawing of lots, between her and him. 

If she lost here right now...

It'd be Sakayanagi 

They would have to attack Sakayanagi, where she was unsure of their win to get 50 Class Points from her, by having her class defend against them successfully...

Ryūen looked immediately over to Sakayanagi, expecting her to say something. "What about you?"

"Fufufu... who knows....?" she asked, slightly teasing him.

"Tch, what did I expect from a crippled little girl."

Sakayanagi paid no heed to his words, but slightly smiled at him. Ryūen would soon enough learn his lesson, not from her, but from a certain else.

"Ryūen-kun, don't say things like that..." Ichinose said, defending Sakayanagi. 

"So now you've finally decided to speak up, huh...? Despite all your losses, you're still like this. I thought you might have changed, but I expected to much..."

Ryūen slowly approached Ichinose, who backed down. 

Hoshnomiya, Ichinose's Homeroom Teacher wanted to say something, but was stopped by Sakagami, Ryūen's Teacher, alongside the other Teacher's. 

If Ryūen did something, he'd naturally be punished, but all he does is walk to her direction, which is not forbidden. 

"... I can tell from your nervous glance already, that you decided on attacking me, Ichinose, isn't that right...?"

She shakes her head, excessively. "Of course not..."

She tried to shake it off, but everyone noticed he spoke the truth. It did not matter anyway, since for this solemn reason they were here.

The Teacher's decided on making everyone appear here, although, it was a slight change, from the past years, but it was the New Student Council's polite request, tthat of Nagumo Miyabi. 

Apparently, he disliked how the Paper Shuffle was so boringly handled and thought this would be a way to make things more exciting.

Or that's how he said it to the Teacher's, hiding his true agenda. 

The actual reason was because of Ichinose, as he like Sakayanagi, suspected, that she could do a crucial mistake. But if she did not, it did not matter. 

The Paper Shuffle would certainly get more exciting for them, and for the next year's, too. If Ichinose did realize it, he'd simply get something else, like her past, on his hand. 

In the end, for him, it was also nothing more than a test to see how much rights he could exert currently, as the student council is facing various kinds of constraints upon first entering the office. 

In the near future, he'd compete against Horikita Manabu, in the future. One of the Exams where every one of all years are together, is the Mixed Training Camp.

It was one of his only opportunities, facing the Legendary Student Council President, Horikita Manabu.

Nagumo would make sure to exert some of his current rights as the student council president, while the school would be oblivious of his true intention through that, in the Mixed Training Camp, while 'secretively' following the guideline of the Mixed Training Camp, to compete with Horikita Manabu.

Being the Student Council President had its own shares of advantages, after all.

Submitting some recommendations or changes of the Mixed Training Camp should be possible, even currently, where he's still hold by constraints. 

Although... Nagumo also prepared a surprise for Horikita Manabu, too.

A very humiliating one...

If everything went well, he'd surely be known long enough throughout the school.

Ryūen spoke, again, feeling a sense of boredom. Apparently, it would be just him perhaps, who would be attacking Kurushima, then.

He had Kikyo, so he'd win this Exam, nonetheless. But a direct confrontation between their classes, it was something he preferred. 

"Haha, is that so...? Then let's get this quickly done with..."

Of course, Ryūen did realize her lying. It was something everyone knew, there present, even the Teacher's. 

One of the reasons Ichinose's class wanted to attack Ryūen was naturally due to the Sports Festival. More precisely, because of the dirty tactics he used against them, which made them lose their first place.

Her classmates were indeed angered, even more so, because if Ryūen did not use dirty tactics but instead honest methods, they would have won the Sports Festival, since they were the second place, despite his use of these tactics. 

Only through Ryūen's dirty tactics, they were able to get the 1.711 Points, being the 1st Place among the First Year, while they're 2nd. 

Among all 12 classes, only Ryūen won Class Points. Two classes did not win anything, but also gained nothing. But everyone else, did lose. 

No one, actually did benefit, aside from Ryūen, who used underhanded methods. 

If it were honest methods, the results would be different. Them being the first place, finally winning an Exam, and gaining their position back.

That was what she believed, what Kanzaki believed, what everyone else from her class believed, genuinely.

After all, the difference between Team Red and Team White was not particularly large at all.

Team Red had 9.351 Points, Team White in return, 9.520 Points.

If Ryūen did not use dirty methods, and Class 3-D participated actively, instead of participating rarely, having only 779 Points, Team Red would have won, which consisted out of Class A and D.

A simple difference of only 169 Points, which Ryūen would have never been able to achieve in their opinion, that of her class. Many of Kurushima's classmates had the same thoughts, since they'd be still in Class A, if not for Ryūen.

Although one did she nor anyone else know, that Ryūen's victory was not a simple coincidence, but planned from the kind-hearted white-haired boy, called Kurushima, who expelled for that solemn reason, someone from Class 3-D, intending to achieve this very own outcome.

Naturally, he had some reasons for expelling him, too, but it aligned itself with his future plans regarding the Sports Festival very well, bringing both Sakayanagi and Kanzaki down, while ensuring that his girlfriend's class would get a lead. 

And then there was the factor that the person was aware of someone confronting the bully trio he confronted at Day 2, expelled at Day 3, so it was because of that, in an essence, too.

And while he was at it, he made Kushida not even think of ever objecting any of his future commands anymore, having her witness the entire case in front of her eyes.

'A simple, but decent move.' That was how Kurushima regarded it, being aware of how the Sports Festival would go out, from the very beginning.

If he wanted, he could do more, but he did not do such thing, since there was no need for it.

In essence, since many people would not figure the truth out, at all.

For those who knew, the reason was because a 'pervert' in Class 3-D, formerly Class 3-C, traded indecent pictures of girls with other boys, in exchange for Points, which is the reason they lost, too. 

Although it was only known to the Third Years, in that sense, as it had not spread much further, since the matter was clearly solved, without the discussion of a trial, decided by the authorities of the school.

In some matters, the school did turn an eye over, but in these crucial one's, they would not, since their integrity and reputation were in the line. 

A decision the school board and the Chairman approved.

Excusing or turning an eye on such a 'deed' was not possible, at all. Evidence clearly suggests he was responsible, in fact, so a discussion was not needed.

A one-sided matter, as Kurushima planned.

But for some people, it did appear suspicious.

Such as Horikita Manabu, the older brother of Horikita Suzune, per example. 

In the end, he'd simply fall in a 'double-layered' trap, anticipated by Kurushima, as he was very well aware of someone wanting to challenge the elder Horikita. 

For Horikita Manabu, one person who easily could expel other's whenever he liked, was responsible for this, Nagumo Miyabi, who did announce to him, he'd use every chance he would get, for competing against him. 

Unlike Nagumo, who had an overwhelming lead of 800 Class Points from the current Class 2-B, Horikita Manabu's class had one of 455 Class Points, which is now decreased by 50 Class Points.

Unlike Horikita Manabu's class, Nagumo could easily afford to throw away Class Points whenever he liked, if it was a matter of bringing him down. 

A double-layered trap by Kurushima, which Horikita Manabu believed, suspecting Nagumo for being responsible about this incident, while his former secretary, was in fact, the true responsible one. 

For Kurushima, it was in the end, another simple matter.

He genuinely doubted whether someone could even match him in this school, even if he were to hold himself decently back.

Like he did now, as always, in front of his public charade, portraying himself as a smart and intelligent individual, but in the end, hiding his true abilities, just showing other's subtitle hints of his fake abilities, which were hold back, a lot.

Ryūen, Sakayanagi, Horikita Manabu, Nagumo Miyabi, Ayanokoji, and the rest of this school, no one knew about his true capabilities.

Although, even in this state, of him holding himself back, he did not believe, anyone could beat him, in this school, at all.

After a slight bit of time passed, Masashima slowly stepped in, revealing the first result, seeing how the situation was becoming tense. 

He couldn't help but frown, as the Paper Shuffle was handled a bit differently, but it is probably less time consuming, gathering them all in one place, preventing on meeting up with the other homeroom teacher, in case for the lottery drawings.

"Class C attacks Class D."

"Class A attacks Class B."

"Fufufu... it seems like you're not as narrow-minded as I thought, Ichinose-san..."

"Of course. I knew that the matchings which are applied here are those from the next month. I asked Hoshinomiya-sensei for conformation, after all, just in case."

Sakayanagi was amused of whether Ichinose would be narrow-minded enough to either submit Class C as their target, under the impression of it being Ryūen's class, or would realize whether the rankings will be applied from next month.

If she submitted to attack Class C, it'd be her she'd be facing, but as both her and Kurushima chose to attack Ryūen, there'll be a lottery draw between them.

Sakayanagi had hoped for this result, since she'd be able to gain 100 Class Points, if Ichinose were to submit them, while eliminating the class who are the nearest to her class in terms of ability, completely.

Now however, it was a simple matter of luck, in the end. 

"Please come in front, the two of you."

Both Kurushima and Ichinose nodded, walking towards the lottery drawings, where simply two lots were, directly in front of them. 

Masashima decided to mix them, but Ichinose's gaze fell slightly on Kurushima.

She was aware of him having a great observational ability, so she had her focus on him, too, essentially.

Perhaps he might realize which paper it could be. 

The chances were 50:50, to draw the lot which would signal whether one of those would be fighting Ryūen or not. 

If it was in a confrontation between her class and that of Sakayanagi, she did not want to risk her class potentially losing 100 Class Points, as far the reward would be the same, 100 Class Points.

Ever since they're not in Class B anymore, she can't allow herself to take any further risks. They were already at last place, Class D, now, with 545 Class Points.

If they lose here, the difference between her and Sakayanagi will be the double, almost. 

They might not even be able to catch up anymore in the competitions. 

Just as Masashima was finished, Hoshinomiya, Ichinose's Homeroom Teacher spoke up, Chabashira, holding her on her sleeves.

Nonetheless, despite Chabashira's interference, it did not prevent her to speak up. 

"Kurushima-kun, are you not someone who is a gentlemen and follows the codex, 'Ladies First'? Shouldn't you let Honami-chan draw the first lot...?" she inquired, in a teasing manner.

"In most circumstances, yes. But in this particular instance, I must respectfully challenge the notion of blind adherence to traditional etiquette."

Hoshinomiya's brow furrowed in puzzlement. "And why is that, Kurushima-kun?"

"Because in the arena of strategy and competition, there exists no room for arbitrary niceties or deference based solely on gender."

"We stand on the precipice of a crucial decision, one that could determine the fate of our class. In this moment, our priority should be the pursuit of victory, unburdened by archaic formalities."

Sounds of hand claps could be heard. "Well said, Kurushima-kun," said Masashima, clapping his hands. 

Sakagami nodded in satisfaction, too, someone having been able to put Hoshinomiya in her place. 

Sakayanagi had a slight smirk while Ryūen simply could not help but to laugh.

If it was after Ryūen, he'd have said 'Fuck Off' if someone said something like 'Ladies First', towards him.

"Kurushima-kun, should we do Rock, Paper, Scissor...?"

"I'm fine with it. Should we play one round...?" Kurushima asked.

She simply nodded.

"Rock, Paper, Scissor!"

Kurushima had paper, and Ichinose Scissor. 

"Well... it appears like I've lost, Ichinose-san."

"Indeed. Then I'm going to choose, Kurushima-kun."

Saying that, she looked at the piece of paper Kurushima was staring at. She wondered, whether it could be this paper?

Or did he try on leading her to a feint...?

Kurushima is known to have a great mind, being strategically very gifted, so he would not do something offensive as that.

That was her reasoning. She pondered deep in thought, observing him, while looking at the two pieces of paper.

But while the game was for her class of great importance, for Kurushima's Class, it would not make too many changes. 

They're still in the front of the competitions, while they're not.

If they can defend their attacks against Ryūen's class successfully, get 50 Class Points from them, but lose to Sakayanagi, being forced to attack them, they wouldn't lose, since they'd be left with 0 Class Points.

In return, if they successfully managed to attack Ryūen's class, who're academically weak, they could gain 50 Class Points from them.

If they're able to successfully create difficult questions too for Sakayanagi, 100 Class Points are certainly feasible for them.

All that under the assumption that they won't have to attack Sakayanagi, of course, which is determined by the draw of the lottery lot. 

However, in case he was doing something like reverse psychology with her, could it truly be the case, then...?

She was naturally under the assumption that Kurushima was most likely aware of the paper, having heard and witnessed about his abilities herself, so in case he was doing reverse psychology, she chose the very own paper he was staring at. 

She grabbed the piece of paper, opening it, looking very shocked.

"Haah... I have bad luck, it seems..."

"Seems to be the case," replied Kurushima.

"Now that this is solved, you're free to go. We'll write an E-Mail for formality's sake about the matchings in ten minutes."

Although, in a sense, it was useless, since everyone would inform their own class upon the details of which class they'll face. 

--

As they left the room, both Ichinose and Sakayanagi looked like leaving. 

"Kurushima-kun, Ichinose-san, Ryūen-kun, I wish you farewell," said Sakayanagi, gracefully, walking away, a couple of steps, at the opposite direction.

"I'll go, too, Ryūen-kun, Kurushima-kun. Goodbye! Wait for me, Sakayanagi-san." 

Ichinose ran next to Sakayanagi, in hope of initiating a conversation.

Meanwhile, these two were left remaining, standing there.

Ryūen had his hands in his pockets, looking at Kurushima. 

"Did you like my present...?"

He looked amused at Kurushima's face, in hope of getting a reaction out of him. 

"Present...? Ah..."

"What the hell did you say to her...?"

He laughed, smirking at him. "I told her if she wanted to make you a 'pleasure' making your birthday memorable she should wear a Maid Costume or a Bunny Outfit, and assert dominance on you."

"Did she...?" he asked amusingly.

"As if I'm going to tell you that..."

"So you're telling me you didn't get hard, huh...? Do you have any problems with your..."

Saying that, Ryūen looked down at Kurushima's pants, with a slight smirk.

"Fucking Bastard, I have no problems with it."

"So you did not, huh...?"

"Not at your birthday nor yesterday when you went swimming with her...? Are you that sort of boring guy who's not doing it until they're 'married'?"

"... No..." said Kurushima, looking awkwardly to the side.

"Anyhow, make sure to buy yourself a bunch of condoms," said Ryūen, walking away, leaving Kurushima embarrassed there standing.

He was stunned to speak upon Ryūen's blunt nature, until composing himself.

"Why are... you not objecting our relationship...?" asked Kurushima.

Ryūen turned himself around. "Objecting...?"

"Why should I...? I don't care whether you date her or anyone else of my class, as long as you don't take advantage of her, thinking of making her your spy."

"I See... So you can be quite a kind Tyrant, after all..."

"And you can be quite the cunning opponent, contrary to the fact that you show yourself to be kind, can you not...? Did you fool Ichinose, or was it simply 'luck'?"

"You're overestimating me, Ryūen. How should I even know which piece of paper was supposed to be in the lot...?"

"True enough. Since you probably would rather not face Hiyori, would you? It's something your class imposed on you, so you had no choice but to do this."

"But I heard some people in your class were very recently objecting your relationship, were they not...? Perhaps, they might also think you're the spy in the class, because of your relationship to her..."

Kurushima looked down, painfully smirking. "If they do that, regardless of all the efforts I made until now for the class, I might have been in the wrong class, all along, in all likelihood..."

Saying that, he walked away from Ryūen.

He heard already two or three people in secret voicing these things out, but they were relatively infamous opinions, which would affect anyone's social standing, reputation in the class, if that were to be voiced out.

Although, he did not care, precisely, he thought.

Or did he...?

He could not tell.

But alone some of them thinking like this, and probably more, who did not express their opinions, after the mere fact he alone was the reason why they were promoted to Class A, was very surprising.

Why take all these efforts, if he was simply betraying 'them'?

Logical Reasoning... it was something many of them did not seem to possess... 

He laughed, slightly. 

"Biting the hand that feeds you, huh...?"

"How surprising..."

"But it's not like I did not anticipate any of this..."

"Deep down I did, I suppose, but did not want to admit it..."

"... But if they think I'd break my relationship with her off for them, they are unfortunately gravely mistaken..."

He smirked, slightly. "At the very least, have an decent extrapolation for it, if you already suspect me of being the traitor..."

--

A/N: And this concludes the chapter.

How did you like the Chapter?

I'm quite satisfied with it. Since it's also a mind game chapter, where some things are explained in more depth.

Also Nagumo, unlike Cannon tries to test how much he can exert as the Student Council President currently. For that, the small changes were made for the Paper Shuffle, to test if he can exert these minimal kind of things.

Of course, he had several hidden agenda's. Manabu Horikita, and to see if Ichinose is narrow-minded of coming onto such conclusions or not. 

After all, he wants her, lol. 

Even though he has the Top-Beauty Asahina in his class... 

...

Here's also the final explanation of his Plan for the Sports Festival since the very beginning, which was hinted often, since Kurushima did control everything, in all three recent Exams, everything going as he thought. 

Kurushima is doing everything behind the scenes, lol. 

Aside from this, I'm curious about something else. 

What is your favorite strategy from Kurushima so far?

Please comment since I'd like to know it, and if I did a good job with it. 

For me, it's still the Island Exam.

Although in Chapter 6, the Record Entry Method and his phone accidentally 'falling' down in Class, gaining multiple things were quite great, too.

But now that the Sports Festival is also more explained, do you like this strategy more?

And then there's the Zodiac Exam, too. It was also decently alright. 

One more question, but I swear, it'll be the last question.

How capable do you think is Kurushima and where would you rank him, precisely?

I'd be curious to hear that, since he has done pretty abnormal things. 

Anyhow, that's all.

One thing aside, please leave me a follow in Wattpad and vote there.

The Name is "Riku3055". 

Well, that's all, really now. 

Have a Great Day.
