Chapter 007: I Really Want to Poke You to Death

"Tendo Amamiya, right?"

"Can you lend me a little time?"

Looking at Horikita Suzune's cold expression as she held the compass, Tendo Amamiya felt somewhat helpless. Although her words seemed questioning, they gave off an irresistible aura.

But wait a minute. Are you a member of a gang? Do you want to drag me into the restroom and poke me to death?

"Sorry, I need to go find Teacher Chabashira right now. If Suzune still insists on making plans with me no matter what, let's do it after school. I should have time to meet you then."

Tendo Amamiya shrugged his shoulders and walked straight past Horikita Suzune.

Hearing Tendo Amamiya's words, Horikita Suzune furrowed her brows, instantly abandoning her desire to retaliate against Tendo Amamiya at this moment. This school seemed to have many inexplicable things, and in the face of information, Tendo Amamiya's matters were inconsequential.

"What do you need to find Chabashira-sensei for?" Horikita Suzune quickly caught up to Tendo Amamiya and added, "And don't call me Suzune!"

"I don't think there's a need to tell you," Tendo Amamiya raised an eyebrow. "Right, Suzune?"

"You..."

Her tone faltered. This time, Horikita Suzune didn't mind the issue of addressing, but instead calmly said, "Indeed, there's no need for that. Let's exchange information and analyze it together."

"According to Chabashira-sensei, this school, established by the country, doesn't seem as strict as imagined. On the contrary, it's excessively lenient. There must be some problem behind this. Tendo-kun, what are your thoughts?"

She didn't think there was anything improper about Tendo Amamiya's words. After all, they were two people who didn't know each other, and he indeed had no obligation to tell her. But she also sensed the abnormality of this school. It was her older brother, Horikita Manabu's choice of school, so it couldn't be that simple. Horikita Suzune maintained her vigilance at all times, relying on her instincts akin to a wild beast to detect the abnormalities, yet she couldn't figure out why.

"I'm using my eyes, of course," Tendo Amamiya responded with a smile, leaving her with his back turned, ignoring her intentions.

"Are you an idiot?"

Horikita Suzune was about to explode with anger.

Sharing information, analyzing together, cooperating for mutual benefit—she couldn't understand why Tendo Amamiya refused.

...

Teacher's office.

Chabashira-sensei had returned to the office early. She was the only one there, as the other teachers were probably busy dealing with students' questions.

"Is this year's Class D also incapable?"

Sitting in her office chair, Chabashira-sensei lit a cigarette. She was deeply disappointed with this year's Class D.

She believed she had provided sufficient information! Anyone should know that pie doesn't fall from the sky, yet these students had no doubts, simply foolish.

Kiyotaka Ayanokouji!

This name slowly surfaced in Chabashira-sensei's mind. He was an ordinary high school student who made the chairman issue orders personally. Was it because he had a powerful background, or did he truly possess something different?

"Never mind, as long as you're in this school, you'll eventually find out," Chabashira thought to herself. Those with strength would naturally stand out, while those who remained unnoticed would fade into the background. That's the essence of a high school that prioritizes strength.

Knock, knock.

"Come in."

At that moment, a knocking sound could be heard. It definitely wasn't a teacher, as two students from Class D soon entered.

"Tendo Amamiya and Horikita Suzune, right? What can I do for you?" Chabashira was naturally familiar with her own class's students, especially those who aimed to advance to Class A. One was an heir of the Amamiya Zaibatsu, and the other was an excellent student with the potential to enter Class A. Chabashira couldn't help but have some expectations.

"I have a personal matter I'd like to discuss with you, Sensei," Tendo Amamiya spoke up, avoiding words like "problem" to eliminate the possibility of Horikita Suzune joining. After all, it would be difficult to exclude a classmate without a legitimate reason, but personal matters were an entirely different story.

...

Horikita Suzune was well aware of this. She frowned, clearly displeased.

"Sure, Horikita, why don't you wait outside for a while?" Chabashira was delighted with Tendo Amamiya's discretion and led her into a separate room within the office.

Watching their figures, Horikita Suzune understood that Tendo Amamiya would definitely ask questions she couldn't anticipate, possibly related to the school's rules. Unfortunately, she didn't have a legitimate reason to join. As for eavesdropping, leaving aside the excellent soundproofing, she held great disdain for such behavior. Filled with dissatisfaction, Horikita Suzune waited outside the office. Although she believed that most of Class D was an obstructive presence, there was no doubt that Tendo Amamiya was no longer among them. However, in order to catch up to her brother, who was in the third-year Class A, she had to understand the school's rules, demonstrate her own abilities, and become someone who could make her brother proud.
