"Wanting to create wonderful memories with everyone?"
"Natsuki, do you really believe that?"
Before Kiyotaka Ayanokōji could say anything more, Suzune Horikita, who had gone to chase after Sae Chabashira earlier, walked over with a tray, looking grim. She sat down opposite Natsuki Subaru and Kiyotaka Ayanokōji.
Although she was extremely unwilling to accept the current outcome, Suzune Horikita truly hadn't expected that the academy had assigned her to Year 1, Class D after careful consideration.
"Is it not so?"
Looking at the grim-faced Suzune Horikita, Natsuki Subaru simply smiled.
It was obvious that Suzune Horikita hadn't received a very positive response from Sae Chabashira.
"Although I don't have direct evidence..."
"I unilaterally believe that Kikyō Kushida's persistence with me definitely harbors ill intentions."
It had been a month since school started. Ever since the 'accidental encounter' at the café, Kikyō Kushida had settled down a lot regarding the matter of befriending Suzune Horikita.
But this didn't mean Suzune Horikita's impression of Kikyō Kushida had changed.
Suzune Horikita still held onto her initial feeling about Kikyō Kushida: that this fellow named Kikyō Kushida approaching her definitely had malicious intent, so she refused any further contact with her.
"Oh?"
Natsuki Subaru had to admit that Suzune Horikita's own intuition could indeed be described as outstanding.
If Natsuki Subaru's observational abilities were acquired through countless loops of life and death, then Suzune Horikita was the type born with powerful senses; it was just that her application of these senses was still very superficial.
It was like being able to sense that something was obviously wrong with the school but being unable to see the deeper layers, or being able to detect Kikyō Kushida's ill will toward her but being unable to know the deeper reasons why.
Possessing powerful hardware functions, but lacking the software to utilize those functions.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this."
"What are your views on the matters regarding this school?"
Suzune Horikita didn't want to continue on the topic of Kikyō Kushida.
Compared to the inexplicably malicious Kikyō Kushida, Suzune Horikita wanted to discuss with capable people how to reverse the current situation of Year 1, Class D.
The reason Suzune Horikita came to this academy was to prove herself to the brother she admired, Manabu Horikita.
To prove that she could keep up with her brother Manabu Horikita's footsteps.
If she just continued to muddle along in Year 1, Class D like this, how could she prove herself to her brother?!
Her brother probably already knew the situation of Year 1, Class D by now.
Just thinking about this outcome made Suzune Horikita feel incredibly irritable and anxious inside, especially since she had learned from Sae Chabashira that even among all the Class Ds of the past, this year's Class D was the worst batch.
In all the years Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing High School had been open, there had never been a Class D that let their class points hit zero in the very first month. This was simply making history.
"..."
Kiyotaka Ayanokōji continued to remain silent.
Having spent this time with Suzune Horikita, Kiyotaka Ayanokōji already knew what kind of personality she had. Since Suzune Horikita asked this kind of question, it was undoubtedly the case.
Suzune Horikita wanted to lead Year 1, Class D in a counterattack.
Just thinking about such a thing made Kiyotaka Ayanokōji feel it was incredibly troublesome. He had come here to enjoy a peaceful daily life, not to engage in these things.
"No opinion."
Compared to Kiyotaka Ayanokōji who was silently eating his meal, Natsuki Subaru continued to respond lukewarmly.
"Whether it's Class D, or whether to become Class A in the future, or any other class."
Natsuki Subaru said indifferently while eating his luxurious lunch, "I don't really care that much."
"Including what the school promised upon enrollment?"
"Only by graduating as Class A can you enjoy the benefits promised by the school."
Hearing Natsuki Subaru's indifferent tone, Suzune Horikita's brows furrowed once again. She said somewhat seriously, "The current social situation in Japan isn't very good."
"If you can't graduate as Class A, your life afterward might be much more difficult."
Compared to Natsuki Subaru and Kiyotaka Ayanokōji, Suzune Horikita still placed more importance on the future.
Aside from wanting to prove herself to her brother, Suzune Horikita also valued what was promised upon enrollment. As long as one could graduate as Class A, their future life would be smooth sailing.
It fit Suzune Horikita's initial life plan perfectly.
If she couldn't graduate as Class A, many things in the future would definitely become troublesome and tortuous.
"Of course."
"For me, I don't really care about the future."
Natsuki Subaru looked at Suzune Horikita's incredibly serious expression and chuckled softly.
As long as Natsuki Subaru wished, he had complete confidence that he could stand directly at the very pinnacle of this world, bar none.
It was just that doing so would be very boring.
Because long ago, when he was still the Purge King, Natsuki Subaru had clearly realized one thing: the higher his status, the lower the probability of finding 'color'.
An excessively high status would cause some people who originally had a probability of possessing color in his eyes to completely lose that possibility.
Money, power, or strength—having enough was sufficient.
"However, whether one becomes Class A might be very important to other classmates..."
Natsuki Subaru didn't continue on this topic but changed the subject, saying, "But for you, Horikita-san, it shouldn't be that important, right?"
"Even if you can't graduate as Class A, with your academic ability, Horikita-san, you can still get into a very good university. It won't have a major impact on your future life."
"Perhaps that is true."
Hearing Natsuki Subaru's words, Suzune Horikita nodded and said, "But to just sit and wait for death like this... I am not resigned to it."
To admit defeat like this would make her a joke in front of her brother!
Even if she lost, Suzune Horikita would absolutely not do nothing!
"However, the current situation of Year 1, Class D makes Horikita-san, who is just one person, feel a bit powerless."
Natsuki Subaru nodded slightly, understanding Suzune Horikita's meaning.
"So, Horikita-san feels that Ayanokōji-kun and I possess decent abilities."
"You want to team up with me and Ayanokōji-kun to lead Year 1, Class D in an overthrow of the upper classes?"
