Classroom Of The Elite 2nd Year - Full Volume
Chapter 5 Chapter 2

Thus, he ended up talking about someone else. For Karuizawa Kei, this was a past he was unable to change and his past would never change. In fact, this school might have thoroughly investigated, then concluded that he was reckless, slow and stupid.

Not only the environment, but also the school, just like their story, all of it will never be revealed. If it were, the truth would probably never prevail over lies.

"But still I'm grateful, to the people who bullied me and the school that hid that fact." It was not strange if he thought of the cruel past and cried, but he looked to the future and continued.

"Everyone here doesn't know who I am, which is why I can find something new, it probably wouldn't have happened if they knew." Turning things around on his own by getting the popular Hirata.

"Karuizawa, I really want to praise you, but there's something else I should tell you first. Helping to intimidate others is now forbidden."

"Huh? You're accusing me of bullying someone?"

"Being stubborn is fine, but haven't you been targeting Sakura lately? It's obvious she's not the kind of girl who's gonna bully you. Although you did it to prevent you from becoming a victim, but don't join them."

.

Reminded him. No matter what he had, there was something he could and could not agree to.

"Sakura-san, huh? You want to help her because she's so close to you?"

"Do I need a reason? You must understand much better what it's like to be in the victim's position."

"Just like me, this position is my life line. Not something I could throw away. I feel bad for Sakura-san, but the weak exist because the strong do it, especially for people who pretend like me." If I'm going to be bullied, I'm going to bully first. If there was something I could predict from his decision, it would be like that.

"It's for her sake. He's been helping me a lot anyway."

"... Hmm, you admit that very quickly." Dissatisfaction or discontent could not be seen in his eyes. Just an emergency.

"My words may not sound very convincing to you but .. well, I'll be careful from now on, is that enough?"

"I'm glad you understand. Besides, you already have Hirata to secure your position. You won't be threatened for now."

"It's true that I've gone too far."

.

As long as he could see himself objectively, there was no need to worry.

"But if my position is in danger ..."

"Then I will help you. If necessary, I will bring Hirata and Chabashirasensei to your side and eliminate your enemies. It's a promise."

"Hmm ... Then, here's the deal."

He is not the type of person who would commit violence or intimidation. He might say it, but to me it seems like he is acting to protect himself. Victims of bullying usually have a hard time socializing, but it seems she has overcome the pain, the owner of a strong mentality. This is all I can make sure because he won't give in to my threats at that time.

"Why did…?"

"What's wrong?"

"No, you know, I don't like digging into my past, letting others know it won't either, but still, I finally told you. It's too easy to surprise me." It seems like a mystery to him. Of course that goes for me too.

"May I ask you something? Is this the real you?"

.

Karuizawa asked cautiously, being the only person in our class who had ever seen both of my sides. But what he asked was a very difficult thing for me to answer. I crossed my arms to wonder how I would respond to that.

I think I've always been like this."

"You're so different!" That's right, but it's not so wrong either. This is a little different from faking personality.

"Just for reference, what is the difference between my usual circumstances and my current state?"

"You're usually a little gloomy, dark and the kind of person who won't talk, but now you're very firm and to the point. You've been completely different since the two were opposites. The way you talk is different too. What made you change?”

"It seems .. isn't it more like how people become different when there are other people around?"

If I had to choose the most suitable answer, then this is it. But it still feels like I missed something. I, as a human being, was honestly "just born". My personality that began to form since my enrollment in school, was still not strong. It takes time to strengthen itself, especially about how to relate to people. I still don't know the right way to express myself.

"After all, I plan on being my usual self."

"I asked because you don't look like you.”

.

Karuizawa narrowed her eyes, pouting and her lips looking unsatisfied.

"After all, back to the topic. You can see me from now on and see for yourself what kind of man I am."

"It feels like you're avoiding the question, but yeah ... What's with the pool?"

"Tomorrow, the four of us, Ike, Yamauchi, Sudou and Horikita, Sakura, Kushida are planning to leave."

"A very strange combination, I can't imagine Horikita and Sakura joining in. You must have something there, but I still can't guess. They're gonna peek, right? I'm sorry” The girls usually will never come even if invited, that's obvious. That is indeed a troublesome factor. No wonder she felt something was wrong.

"After all, I want you to come to the pool and join them."

"Ha !? are you serious !?" He had no relationship with the group.No, joining them would be very unreasonable because of the bad relationship between them.

.

"No, that's not the case, it's really unpleasant, you know?"

"I could feel sorry for you, but do you really have the right to refuse?"

"Wow, you're the worst"

"No matter what you say, it's set like a rock. I'll have you act as instructed." After finishing what I had to say, I took out a handwritten note and gave it away forcibly.

"I'll give you some consideration" I said

"Showing some consideration, what's up with that? I'll be restricted all day, won't I? On the last day of summer!"

"Don't you say you're going to sleep in your room? I don't see a problem here” He himself said it, so won't be able to dodge.

"I want you to join, but I'm not asking you to accompany them." Not understanding the meaning of what I said, he read the notes carefully.

"What difference…?"

.

"That-" I can't explain in detail why I called her in the first place. Karuizawa, after listening to me to the end of this look of headache, hugged her head in her hands.

"What's wrong? you got a headache?"

"Of course it hurts, why, after they-no, nothing.it doesn't matter even if I ask." He seemed to imply that there was no point in asking.

"Why don't you ask Horikita-san? Aren't you guys close?"

"I can't ask him, he doesn't know if I'm working behind the scenes"

"Eh, why?" It was a natural response. Although explaining it is a little difficult. Obviously, the correct answer is to stay away and then make the most of it. Anyway, to him, I decided to take it one step further from our relationship

"The fact that I was in contact with you on the ship was caused by me acting alone all the time, including this time. The reason why I can't tell Horikita is because I haven't been able to really believe her.”

.

I told everything clearly without a lie.

"Eh, you don't believe it even though you've spent a lot of time together? That's weird."

"That's because she's a good cover for me. He's a man who stands alone."

"So you just used him?"

"That's not a proper term, but it might be appropriate for this situation."

"Hmm? I don't understand but ... Can you stop with your subtle nuances?" He objected with a smile, showing his white teeth.

"... But the plan had worked until now, I always thought that Horikita-san was the one who planned and ran it, by the way who are you?" I assumed, to him, my existence was a mystery.

"Oh, being more trustworthy than Horikita isn't a bad thing." Thas right. That's not wrong. Karuizawa has something Horikita doesn't, which is why I can tell her, but this isn't the last one.

"I just have to follow your orders, right?"

.

"Right, after this matter is resolved, for this event, can I ask you to accompany me for a moment? We have to arrange a few things first."

"I have no right to refuse, right? Roger." Implying that he wanted it done as quickly as possible, he stood up and wiped the dirt off his butt. I didn't want to waste any time, so we headed to the pool facility together.

***

On the night before my meeting with Karuizawa. While enjoying the last summer vacation in my own room, Ike, who represented the trio of idiots, started the group chat as usual.

"You want our summer vacation, our youth, to end like this?" On the one hand, it's very deep. On the other hand, it was made without any thought being put into it. Ike then continued before there was anything we could reply to.

"You want an important summer vacation, a year of our youth, to end like this?" Again, but the sentence is different.

"No, not at all!" As if echoing this statement, Yamauchi showed his agreement. After experiencing unrequited love, a new beginning is very important to him.

.

"Me too, give me back my youth!" the one who joined their concurrent opinions was Sudou. Although the basketball club is going well for him, he also wants to experience love.

"Regend! The youths will not come to those who wait!" Waiting for me to agree, but how did you get it?

"You got any ideas?" He might be waiting for someone to ask. Soon after, a long message appeared.

"of course! The pool is open to everyone for a limited time right now, eh? We'll invite the pretty girls and swim! Mine is Kikyou, right? And Haruki is Sakura? And also Sudou is Horikita!" Opening Yamauchi's wounds, Ike mentioned the names of some girls from our class.

"Maybe so. If Suzune leaves I'll leave too, but do you really think she'll come?"

"Give it to Ayanokouji-sensei! won't we?" Just yummy! I can't say that easily.

Splice...
