15 Gotcha!

"It so hot here.." Ayanokoji said. 

"I agree with Kiyo-chan! Suzune, could you leave for a second, maybe it'll colder" Yuto stated.

Horikita didn't reply and only returned an ice-cold glare. "Oh it got cold again." Ayanokoji played along. Yuto chuckled. "by the way, I noticed there are no security cameras here. Yuto nodded as he looked at Horikita, who looked like she got an idea. "There is something I want to try." 

____________________________________

The three Class C students—Komiya, Kondo, and Ishizaki—had arrived at the special annex under the false presumption that Kushida had summoned them. Instead, they were met with the steely gaze of Ayanokoji. Confused, they questioned why Kushida wasn't present, but before they could gather their thoughts, Horikita emerged from the shadows.

She explained the ruse and pointed out the security cameras positioned around the annex, instantly instilling fear in the trio. They openly talk amongst themselves and basically confessed to their involvement in the altercation with Sudo, prompting Horikita to propose withdrawing their complaint and putting an end to the matter.

However, Ishizaki attempted to make a call, likely to Ryuuen, but his phone was swiftly snatched by Horikita. She scolded him for his inability to make decisions independently, delivering a sharp smack to drive her point home. 

As Ishizaki caught Horikita's collar, tension filled the air, but suddenly, another voice broke through the chaos from behind them. "Gotcha!" Yuto's triumphant declaration rang out as he stepped forward, revealing that he had been recording the entire confrontation.

"I'm afraid Sakagami-sensei might not be able to convince everyone that this is AI-generated!" Yuto's cheerful tone contrasted sharply with the tension in the room. Ishizaki's fury was palpable as he shouted, "Bastard!" and made a move towards Yuto, but Yuto merely clicked his tongue and pointed to Ayanokoji, who was silently capturing Ishizaki's violent actions on camera.

Ishizaki gritted his teeth, his anger barely contained, and demanded, "What do you want?"

Yuto's casual demeanor belied the gravity of the situation as he glanced at Horikita, musing aloud, "Hmmm, well... Considering we have footage that could lead to expulsion, it seems only fair to negotiate for something of equal value, wouldn't you agree?" His carefree tone grated on Kondo's nerves, but he knew better than to interrupt.

As Ishizaki and Kondo nodded, Yuto continued, "However, since this agreement isn't sanctioned by the school, class points are off the table. The next best alternative would be private points." The three Class C students clenched their teeth at the mention of private points, knowing they were about to be at a disadvantage.

Yuto's gaze turned steely as he laid out his terms, "Even if you three combined all your private points, I doubt it would amount to 700,000. Considering that overturning an expulsion costs 20 million each, I believe I'm entitled to ask for more than just private points and withdrawing your complaint." Ishizaki's frustration was palpable as he listened to Yuto's demands.

Then, with a cold, calculated tone, Yuto pointed at Horikita and issued his ultimatum, "Be her informant from Class C." Horikita's surprise was evident, mirrored by Ishizaki's vehement objection. "To hell with that! If Ryuuen finds out, we're done for!" he exclaimed, his fists clenched in frustration.

Yuto's smile remained unwavering as he delivered his response, "Then don't let him find out." Ishizaki reluctantly relented, bargaining for a shorter duration. "Only for three months," he grudgingly proposed.

Yuto countered with a firm tone, "One year."

"4 months" Ishizaki said while fear what Ryuuen would do if he found out.

"1 year." 

Yuto's smile widened into a satisfied grin as Ishizaki reluctantly relented, "6 months... That's as far as we can go," he exhaled, his tone tinged with resignation. Kondo and Komiya nodded in reluctant agreement.

"Deal!"

"Man! I can't believe you both are in Class D!" Ichinose exclaimed as Yuto explained her why he borrowed the cameras.

"Oh no! It was Suzune and Kiyo-chan who came up with the idea, I just followed along." He said as he pointed at Ayanokoji who was next to him.

"He's lying, he was the one that made out the entire private points thing on the spot. We only wanted to withdraw the complaint however we got 750,000 points along with it." Ayanokoji calmly said causing Yuto to bonk him. 

Ichinose chuckled at thier antics when Ayanokoji's cell phone rang, "It's Sakura." all they heard was a scream and the call was cut.

"Your life is over." Ayanokoji calmly replied as he touched the electronic man's shoulder. 

He tried to run away, but Ichinose and Yuto swiftly intercepted him, their expressions filled with disdain. "Fuckers like you should not even be born," Yuto stated firmly, his voice laced with disgust.

As two police officers hurried towards the electronic man, restraining him, he began spouting delusional nonsense about Sakura loving him. When Sakura rejected his delusions, he cursed her with venomous words, revealing the depths of his twisted mind.

"I could never love somebody as ugly as you!" he shouted at Sakura, his words dripping with malice. Ichinose bristled with anger, ready to intervene, but Yuto halted her with a subtle gesture. He then walked purposefully toward the electronic man, his expression unreadable, and bent down to meet the man's gaze at eye level.

"Hey you disgusting dog, look here!" Yuto demanded, his azure eyes flashing with a hint of purple. Suddenly, Yuto's fist connected with the man's face, delivering a powerful blow that knocked him unconscious. Gasps filled the air as one of the policemen issued a warning to Yuto.

Ignoring the reprimand, Yuto turned to Sakura with a smile. "He deserved it, didn't he?" he asked. Sakura hesitated for a moment before nodding vigorously in agreement. Ichinose approached Yuto, her expression a mix of surprise and concern. "I didn't expect you to hit that man all of a sudden," she remarked.

"He just reminded me of someone I never want to think of again," Yuto confessed, his gaze fixed on the man's already swollen face. The mention of his biological father stirred a mix of emotions within him, memories he'd rather forget.
