POV: Torikachi

The chilling breeze of the wind just came across my neck.

This uneasy feeling I am having... seems like things are about to get...

Very real...

I guess it is time, for my own revelation.

The moment that I least looked forward to in my life, the moment that I will do anything for the sake of my comforts.

POV: Narrator

The final special exam went as usual, where Ayanokouji and Sakayanagi face-to-face, was the final showdown between the two.

However... one does not satisfied with the results.

POV: Torikachi

H-How...?

How could he lose...??

I disrupted Tsukishiro in that final moment...

But... what actually happened?

An unknown third party?

A threat that appeared because of my existence?

Certainly.

But...

It does not matter.

I grinned as I could not hold my laughter against this outcome.

Tsukishiro noticed this, as he gave me an irritated look.

"You already knew this outcome, Kizutsu?" He asked while being confused about my behavior.

Of course, he expected me to be miserable, as I failed to make Kiyotaka win this exam.

Everything is still according to the light novel in a certain way.

Even though our class received a huge loss to class A, it does not matter anymore.

It does not matter if Kiyotaka wins or loses this exam, we would stay in class B.

The Event Selection Exam concluded with the results:

"Class A: 1140 (+130cp)

Class B: 697 (-30cp)

Class C: 580 (-90cp)

Class D: 531 (+190cp)"

I mean... the class orderings kind of mixed up due to my interference throughout the year, but for Kiyotaka's sake living in this school, I will do anything for it.

As a result remains, I left everything aside, as I already knew he was unable to do what he was supposed to do in the light novel.

This means that a third party might have been involved in this school, which is unlikely for the school's security breach.

However, there is one possibility...

"Did you intentionally leak the school's security to a third party, Tsukishiro?" I murmured, as I already knew he might have done something even before he set his foot into this school.

This means, that a new threat will appear as we approach our second year.

Not the White Room enforcers, not Nagumo's 20 million bounty exam.

Something for me, perhaps...

However, it does not matter anymore, as everything still following plan for me.

And, at least, Kiyotaka gets to know about human 'warmth' that will be taught by Arisu later on in the day.

It is at the end of the school year now, as we only have a few weeks of spring break before we reach our second year.

Finally, I will get to see if my guts were true or not.

If it turns out to be accurate, there are chances that I might return to my old self.

To survive...

Just like how I used to be...

POV: Sakayanagi Arisu

It was quite unexpected at first... to see Ayanokouji-kun make such a foolish mistake in that chess battle.

When I heard from the acting director that he tackled the exam just for Ayanokouji-kun to lose, I could not feel anything but disgust.

But we could not do anything against it, as he has the authority over both of us.

Ayanokouji-kun and I both put the conflict aside and reached to the school's library to remake the play, where he made that mistake.

It is inevitable that I lose, but at least I am satisfied with the result that we both played at our best.

Now that I remembered what I should do, for Ayanokouji-kun to make him feel attached to this school.

He never felt any feelings since the first time I saw him, through the window of that place I visited eight years ago.

As for today, the more I see him, the more poundings my heart can make me.

Is this... the feeling of love?

Or is it just an uneasy feeling that kept my heart racing when I'm close to him?

I certainly hoped for it.

================================================================================

Yahallo!!!!

Sorry for the late update.

My bad for such a short chapter. There's only Vol.11 content and I'm sure y'all know the result so I won't tell anything.

Also, I'm starting to run out of ideas, even though I have plans for the 2nd year and SS after this Vol.

And 11.5 ofc.

Anyways, there will be 2 chapters for Vol 11.5 and 1 SS. Just guess and yeah...

Everything will still be according to plan now.

See y'all next time.

PEACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
