Vol-1 Ch-13 The Horikitas

"Goodbye, Kiyotaka-kun. It is always fun reading together." said the white haired angel.

"Good night, Hiyori. I will be going for a walk by the sea. See you tomorrow."

"But it's 9 pm already?"

"I tend to spend some alone time walking at night. Especially, nowadays. It's too tiring being a leader."

"Kiyotaka-kun, you should take care of your health first. It's not good for your body to handle this much stress. I don't want to see my only friend get ill." she said with a sad face.

"Hey, don't worry I won't get ill. I admit, being a leader is a stressful job, but I have had worse."

"If you say so, Kiyotaka-kun. But if you need any help don't hesitate to ask me."

"Even if your classmates, hate that you are helping your opponent?"

"Yes, I will always help my friend. I don't care much about class competitions anyways." she said determined to help me.

"You're too sweet Hiyori, I will ask for your help if I need it. Now you should return to your room it's late already."

She gave me a cute smile before leaving.

As Hiyori and I parted ways. I thought about today. It was a week and a half since mid terms were announced and problems for the class started rising.

Chiaki's group was lagging behind in terms of syllabus. Apparently it took a lot of time for Karuizawa and her friends to understand what she was teaching and their location being the most popular cafe in the school premise didn't help either. Most of the time they were distracted staring at boys.

Then there was Sodou after attending a week just to please Kushida, he started bunking. He said that between a cute girl and not studying, he will choose the latter. So now he is attending his club activities.

But, my biggest headache was Horikita's group. I gave her a group of average students not even the worse ones. But she has managed to drive them away. Her methods of criticizing and constantly belittling them had reached peak.

When I ordered her not to do that, she would constantly find a new way to intimidate her group. She is like a rebellious teenager who doesn't listen to their parents.

During my walk, I had reached the third year dormitory building . The backside of the building had a wonderful view of the sea. I usually spent one hour here before going to bed. The moon shining on the water and the cool breeze, with a totally isolated place made an excellent spot to sit back and relax.

But today was different, there were two people already there. One was a senior boy and the other was the she devil, I was thinking about.

I quickly hid behind the bushes. When I looked at the boy, it was none other than the student council president himself.

"Suzune. I didn't think you'd follow me this far," he said.

"Hmph. I'm far different from the useless girl you once knew, nii-san. I came here to catch you."

"Catch me, hmm?"

"I heard you were placed in Class D. I suppose nothing has really changed in the last three years. You've always been fixated on following me, and as a result you don't notice your own flaws. Choosing to come to this school was a mistake."

"That's... You're wrong about that. I'll show you. I'll reach Class A right away, then-"

"It's pointless. You will never reach Class A. In fact, your class will fall apart soon enough. Things at this school aren't as simple as you think."
