Classroom Of The Elite : Reaction fic

The Tyrants demise ‐ 1

“THIS BRINGS US to the end of homeroom,” said Sakagami-sensei,
Class C’s teacher. “I’d like to remind everyone to please be on your best
behavior, even during winter vacation, and to make good use of your time.
That’s all.”
I took out my phone as I listened to his gracious, meaningless words.

Sakagami : Why am I not suprised ?

Hoshinomiya : Your student is very rude sakagami‐sensei.

Sakagami : Not every student is as good as Ichinose you know.

Hoshinomiya : Hehe, I guess you are right.

Today was the day of the closing ceremony—the final day of the second
semester. Our classes finished early, leaving us free by afternoon. There were
no club activities today, either. The school encouraged students to head back
early, so hardly anyone would be left in the building.
In other words, it was finally time to strike.

Horikita : What are you planning to do Ryuuen‐kun.

Ryuuen : kuku, be patient suzune. You will soon see.

“I eliminated everyone I can, but that still leaves about ten possible
candidates,” I muttered to myself. Some were people I’d never even spoken
to, but it couldn’t be helped. I would’ve preferred to do this without using
Karuizawa, but X had eluded me so far.

Hirata : Ryuuen‐kun, what are planning to do with Karuizawa‐san ?

Ryuuen : Just keep watching hirata.

“Well, I guess this just means I get to have some more fun.”
To be honest, there was a particular person I’d had my eye on all along,
but I couldn’t jump to conclusions yet. If anything, it would be all the more
fun to be able to confront X with a clear head and no doubts.
I’d taken certain steps after the Paper Shuffle. I mobilized every Class
C student and assigned them targets to spy on. Of course, it wasn’t like
tailing people was likely to get me much closer to discovering X’s identity. I
excluded the weaklings, narrowing my list of suspects to delinquents like
Sudou and Miyake, and conservative people like Hirata.
The Class D punks had noticed they were being tailed—except for
Sudou, who was so dumb and oblivious I’d had to have my people provoke
him directly.

Sudo : That asshole.

Ryuuen : kuku, ohh don't feel too bad doggy.

Sudo : Just shut up.

But being noticed was fine by me. I wanted them constantly
aware that I was watching. I wanted X to spend their days trembling with
fear, terrified of having their identity discovered.

Ichika/Sakayanagi : Hahahaha/Fufufufu

Ichika : Hahaha, trembling in fear, yeah right.

Sakayanagi : Fufufu, this is too funny.

Everyone looked at them with confused faces.

Yet they’d continued to use Suzune as a cover, stubbornly keeping themselves hidden. Which meant I had to tighten the noose.
One more thing. Though I’d all but told X I’d target Karuizawa, I had
yet to make a move. I was sure they’d been on edge these past two weeks or
so, probably wondering how and when I’d contact Karuizawa, how I’d
extract information from her. Chances were, they were asking her daily
whether anything out of the ordinary had happened. The uncertainty would
take it out of them. It would confuse them. They’d be exhausted, paranoid,
and jumping at shadows, constantly imagining me breathing down their neck.
Which made today the best day for me to strike. Now, I was ready to
corner them.
Even though it’d only been a few minutes since dismissal, more than
half the class had left. The clock on the wall seemed as if it was ticking
slower than normal.
“Heh heh…”
