Classroom of the Elite: Reincarnation In His World

Chapter 5: Operation Imbecile

I woke up at around 6 in the morning. 'Well, I did go to sleep yesterday earlier than I usually do' I thought to myself. I decided to eat a French Toast for breakfast, I had the ingredients so without wasting much time, I prepared it and gulped it down. Yum!

After that, I decided to take a shower, I remained in the shower longer than expected and when I came out, I saw that there was still some time left for class. I decided to leave earlier today.

I got dressed, took my bag and left the dorms and proceeded towards my class. On my way there, I saw Horikita. She must've sensed my presence as she turend around to look at me, not that I hid my presence anyways. She gestured me to come towards her and so I did. As I caught up to her, she spoke up.

"You're early, Miyamura-kun."

"I could say the same, Horikita."
She started glaring at me, and because I did not want to end up like Ayanokouji, with a hole on my hand due to a compass stab, I spoke up.

"I just went to sleep earlier yesterday night so I happened to wake up earlier."

"I see."

"Yeah. Oh, by the way, did you guys find any leads relating to Sudo's case?"

"I thought you told Ayanokouji to that you will take care of this. And to answer your question, no, we haven't."

I guess she must've heard it when I told Ayanokouji. Such a bitch.
Typical Horikita

"I see. Well, I managed to find one."

"What did you find?"

"A witness, that too from our own class."

"Seriously?"

"Seriously."

"Who is it?"

"Sakura Airi."

"That shy girl?"

"Yeah. You noticed it too, right? That she held her head down when Hirata asked for witnesses."

"Yeah"

"That's why I confronted her and one thing led to another and she ended up telling me that she'll act as a witness."

"I see. Thank you for that."

"No need."

"Miyamura-kun."

"Yes?"

"I want you to attend Sudo's trial with me today."

"Are you sure you want it to be me? I mean, wouldn't Ayanokouji be better?"

"No, you have helped out, so it's only natural."

I see. So she neither agreed nor denied when I asked if Ayanokouji would be better. Well, in fact, he is better, not that I can disagree on that.

"Well, I guess I will, then. Do you know at what time is the trial being held?"

"After the classes for today end."

"I see. I'll be a little late. Just around 10 minutes. Start without me if I'm late, I'll join in. I have some important business to attend to."

"What business is more important than saving a classmate from expulsion?"

"I couldn't really care less about that. I'm just saving him because his physical abilities can be useful to our class. That's all there is to it."

I told her the harsh truth to her face. Even if she didn't like it, she was also saving him just for this reason.

"I see. Do not be much late or else the tide of the trial can very much go against us."
