Ayanokouji Kiyotaka POV

Hmm...

So my previous monologue about coming out slowly rather than explosively?

Yeah

Total bullshit

Cause you see, as it turns out;

Getting First place when your were previously last place was so out of the ordinary that practically everyone in my class began questioning my existence

I mean, I did expect that reaction. But I didn't  expect that reaction...

They're just too surprised... And so is everyone else

Questions like:

We're you holding back til now?

If so why?

How do you know the President and Vice President of the Student Council?

What's your number?

—were thrown around, but I expertly avoided most of them

Actually, one phrase was enough to answer most of them

I don't like attention

That's about it

But obviously, my circumstance made it that not wanting attention is similar to forgetting something

The more you try to do it, the more the opposite happens

All in all!

Fuck

"Sighhh, what did you expect?" Horikita asked, sitting besides me as she rolled her eyes

"Not only did you appear to race with the Student Council, but you also took first place. We're you expecting this to slowly be forgotten like everything else?"

"..."

I stayed silent

Looking around, I could still see some students casually glancing in my direction.

And as Horikita said, it's no wonder

Though my results didn't really change Class D's ranking, it was still mind boggling to say the least

Sighh

"Well, no use crying over spilled milk. Let's go" I stood up

They'd be announcing the results Soon, and with that came the official end of the Sports Festival

"We’ll now announce the results of this year’s sports festival!"

"Red Team" and "White Team" were displayed as separate entries on
the scoreboard.

The tallied numbers started to rise, showing the total points the teams had acquired from all thirteen events. The winning team was…

The words "Red Team Wins" appeared on the board along with the team’s score.

The competition had been incredibly arduous, but the Red Team D/A coalition appeared to be victorious.

Cheers naturally bellowed across the field, but Class D was fairly Silent. That's because everyone of us knew that that's wasn't the only Competition between teams

"Next, we will announce each class’s overall points."

The board divided the twelve classes into three categories, and it
displayed the overall points for each class all at once.

We didn’t really care about the details of the second- and third-year scores.

What was crucial for us
was Class D’s position.
