Classroom of the Elite, Kusuo Saiki

However, Kusuo Saiki already had a plan in mind.

If it works on Takeru Sudo, then it must work on other people as well.

"In that case, we'll just leave it at that?"

"Ah."

"If Horikita asks about it tomorrow, it could be very troublesome."

"Let's talk about it then."

"Oh, then I'll take my leave now."

Kiyotaka Ayanokouji nodded, his gaze lingering on Kusuo Saiki for a moment before he turned and left the room.

[I still can't figure anything out about Qi Mu.]

Was he simply hiding his true feelings too well, or was the teacher overthinking it?

Let's talk about it later.

Chapter 46: Let me show you the true face of your goddess!

The next day, in the classroom.

"What happened...? Why are you like this too?"

Ken Sudo looked at Kanji Ike with surprise and asked in confusion.

At this moment, Chi Kuanzhi had two extremely dark circles under his eyes, and his lips were bloodless and pale.

"Yesterday, I studied all night..."

"Ike Kanji said weakly."

"Huh? Say it again?"

Haruki Yamauchi, standing to the side, wore an expression of surprise—even horror.

"You...you studied all night?"

"Um....."

Ike Kanji nodded, his voice weak.

"Yesterday I suddenly felt like studying, so I stayed up all night reviewing a lot of previous material..."

As Chi Kanji spoke, he couldn't help but recall his experience from yesterday and felt a chill run down his spine.

"I'm sorry, but to make up for it, I'll let you slack off during your precious rest time."

Beside them, Kusuo Saiki stared blankly at his book, pretending he hadn't heard a thing.

In fact, Kanji Ike's all-night study session was exactly what Kusuo Saiki did.

Even without his telepathic abilities, Kusuo Saiki knew that Kanji Ike had feelings for Kikyo Kushida. During the book club, Kanji spent almost half of his time fantasizing about how he could ask Kikyo Kushida out on a date.

Moreover, it could be said that it was because of Kanji Ike that Kusuo Saiki was discovered by Kikyo Kushida and had to use his memory erasure ability.

Furthermore, Ike Kanji himself was extremely lazy, which forced Saiki Kusuo to resort to some drastic measures—

For example, telepathy and hypnosis.

Last night, every time Ichi Kanji fell asleep, he dreamed that Kushida Kikyo suddenly became fierce and menacing, as if she had become a completely different person. She also expressed her disgust and contempt for him because of his poor academic performance, which made Ichi Kanji wake up countless times in the dream.

After repeating this several times, Ike Kanji couldn't fall asleep at all. The terrifying scenes in his dreams kept replaying in his mind, forcing him to study all night.

In reality, Kusuo Saiki directly transferred Kikyo Kushida's hatred for Suzune Horikita into Kanji Ike's mind, deliberately omitting the parts involving names.

How terrifying... The Kushida in my dream... was such a vicious and vengeful person...

Unfortunately, this is her true self. If you actually saw this side of her, you'd probably be devastated.

I can hardly look Kushida in the eye anymore... The scene in my dream... it felt so real...

"I've let you know her true colors in advance, which is for your own good, to put an end to any illusions you may have,"

Good morning, Chi Kuan!

Just then, Kikyo Kushida walked into the classroom and greeted Kanji Ike and the others with a smile.

[An angel! Kushida-san is an angel! Dreams and reality are definitely opposites!]

【Kushida-kun...is so cute!】

What should we name our future children?

'...Have you started to indulge in delusional and delusional fantasies?'

Saiki Kusuo was somewhat helpless. The moment he saw Kushida Kikyo, Ike Kanji completely forgot about his dream from the previous night.

"Qi Mu".

Just as Saiki Kusuo was speechless, Sudo Ken called out to Saiki Kusuo in a low voice.

"Ok?"

"When you go to the library this afternoon, if Horikita asks, just say that you and Ayanokouji have already tutored us. I've already talked to Ayanokouji about it."

"it is good."

Kusuo Saiki nodded, relieved that he was now free from trouble.

After hearing what Kanji Ike said, Haruki Yamauchi couldn't sit still any longer and quickly took out his textbooks to do an emergency review.

What exactly is going on between Sudo and Ike Hiroshi?!

'Don't worry, you're next.'

[Didn't we agree to be good-for-nothings together?!]

"While your self-description isn't entirely wrong in a sense, I don't think the other two people would say that about themselves."

[You all abandoned me?! Now I'm the only one who didn't study hard?!]

'Can one speak of following closely with such righteous indignation?'

Haruki Yamauchi was a little anxious because Ken Sudo and Kanji Ike were secretly studying behind his back. He thought he was likely to fall behind. There was no other way but to cram at the last minute and prepare to review the knowledge points during his free time today.

'Oh dear, this looks like it will save me some trouble.'

The actions of these individuals are somewhat unusual.

Beside them, Kiyotaka Ayanokouji silently watched them, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

He was skilled at analyzing people's minds and predicting their personalities, but both Kenji Sudo and Kanji Ike's actions had exceeded Kiyotaka Ayanokoji's predictions.

First Horikita, then Sudo and Ikehiro—their behavior has changed significantly, something that shouldn't be possible in the short term.

Could it be that Kusuo Saiki did this?

However, there is no evidence to prove this, and from my observation, Kusuo Saiki really didn't do anything... It's really strange.

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka was filled with doubts, but he couldn't find the answer at all. This was something that was completely beyond Shirafusa's scope of study.

......

In the afternoon, Horikita Suzune and the others went to the library.

"Did any of you get tutoring yesterday?"

Horikita Suzune asked with a serious expression.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Ken Sudo immediately responded.

"really?"

Horikita Suzune's gaze showed no trust whatsoever. She then turned to look at Ayanokoji Kiyotaka and Saiki Kusuo, who both nodded in agreement.

[They're probably lying together. They're not the type to study properly once they're back in the dorm.]

'You know them too well.'

Saiki Kusuo thought to himself.

Just like yesterday, Horikita Suzune prepared some questions for everyone.

This time, not only Ken Sudo, but also Kanji Ike got a passable score. Even Haruki Yamauchi, who crammed at the last minute, did achieve results and got a passable score.

"It seems the book club has made good progress."

'That's right, so we can stop now.'

Kusuo Saiki's lips curled up slightly; he thought this segment could finally be over.

"This further illustrates the importance of book clubs, allowing us to engage in more advanced learning."

'? ? ? '

Chapter 47: So, what is the point of me doing this?

After speaking, Horikita Suzune immediately took out several textbooks and explained more advanced knowledge points to the others present.

Now that they've grasped these concepts, I can move on to more challenging topics to further improve the class's overall performance!

Hearing Horikita Suzune's words, Saiki Kusuo felt a sense of despair.

He never expected that the other party would say such a thing.

Kusuo Saiki originally thought his actions would end this meaningless book club, but he never expected that Suzune Horikita would want these guys to get even higher scores.

"Hey, do you really think that with all these people combined, their brains might not even be as large as an average ape's? Are you really capable of mastering all this knowledge?"

Kusuo Saiki sighed inwardly, realizing that all his previous actions had been meaningless.

So... in the end, will this learning session still continue...? And what was the point of everything I did from beginning to end?

......

For the next period of time, Kusuo Saiki was forced to receive instruction from Suzune Horikita every day, along with Ken Sudo and others.

The entire class had also obtained last year's midterm exam materials from senior students in advance. With the help of these materials, they were even more confident about this exam.
