Chapter 14: Selling Students

Light slowly filled our room. It was morning, and the first day of the exam. Our group wasn't going to do much today, but we at least had to gamble once, and that's exactly what we would do.
"Morning."
I looked over to Ayanokoji sitting up on his bed.
"Morning."

I rubbed my eyes. I hadn't gotten good sleep last night either.
I looked around the room.
"What's up?"
"I just realized that we're sharing a room with a girls, maybe we should leave."

Ayanokoji nodded and got up.
We both grabbed our bags, and headed for the shower room.
—
The girls probably wouldn't wake up for at least another hour, which gave us time to shower.
The ship only had three showers in the boy's bathroom, so we got up earlier.

When we got to the showers, we saw Hirata standing outside of the bathroom with a towel.
"Oh, hey Katagiri. Oh, and Ayanokoji."
We both waved in return.

"You get up early to, Hirata."
He nodded.
"Our whole group did. Yukimura, Sudo, and Ike our currently in there."

Hirata actually only had one male in his group.
Hirata looked over to us both.
"Katagiri, about what Yukimura told me, are you sure about that?"

Ayanokoji looked over to me.
I nodded.
"Yeah, I'm sure."

"Okay, then. I trust you."
He really looked like he believed in me, so I hoped I could live up to that.

Sudo and Ike came out.
"Ha ha, I'm going to start calling you tiny form now!"
"What was that!? You big brute!"
"Huh?!"

Sudo put Ike in a head lock. Hirata looked like he was going to stop them, but he was this was more of just a friendly fight.
"Alright guys, alright."
Ike shoved Sudo away and began stomping back to the room. Sudo followed.
"Hmm...Yukimura is taking a bit. Do you guys want to go ahead and go in?"

We both looked at each other.
"Are you sure?" Ayanokoji asked.

"Yeah, since none of us will be doing all that much today."

"Thanks."
We both headed in.
—
After we had both taken our cloths off, I fought the urge to look over to Ayanokoji.
I wasn't sure I compared to other guys, so I thought maybe I could use this opportunity to at least test where I fit in the spectrum.

I decided against it once I saw that Ayanokoji had no interest in wasting time.

Once out of the bathroom, we ran into Ryuuen in the hall.
He had two of his body guards with him. I honestly didn't know either of their names.
I tried to walk right past him, before a voice stopped me.

"You know Arisu, Katagiri Yuuichi?"
I stopped, but kept facing forward.
"Not that I can remember."

A chuckle from behind me.
"Well she seemed to know you. Figuring she called you by name at the pool."
"She probably knows every name of every kid  at this school."
"She called you by your first name."

It was true, she had.
"So what, you have an alliance with Class a?"
"Nope, don't think I do."
A snicker from behind me.

"Ah, I can see why that one b**** finds you interesting."

I held my breath.
"Could even say, obsessed."
I turned around, and quickly took a step forward.
One body guard, the less big one, launched at me.
There was nothing I could do to stop it, but I smiled either way.

But, right as a fist came flying at me, and I heard a loud slapping noise.

Ayanokoji had stopped the punch.
"Ayanokoji...?"
I was at a lost for words.
