Classroom of the Elite, Kusuo Saiki

Saiki and I are so similar, both in our way of thinking and in our goals.

Sorry, I don't think so.

Although the possibility is relatively low, it still exists. He, like me, also left another organization to come here.

'I was really just born into an ordinary family.'

I'm not entirely confident I can fully utilize Qi Mu, and he's probably already sensed something about me. The best option right now is to form an alliance with him for the time being.

'Oh dear, what should I do?'

As Kusuo Saiki looked at Kiyotaka Ayanokouji in front of him, his mind raced.

Although Ayanokouji Kiyotaka hasn't revealed all his secrets to me yet, his words are pretty much the same.

Kusuo Saiki hadn't expected things to turn out this way, and could only think about how to handle the situation.

'Should I continue to play dumb and refuse? But Ayanokouji is now pretty sure I'm not an ordinary person, so it definitely won't do any good.'

'Just agree? That's practically admitting it... Wait, Ayanokouji doesn't realize I'm a psychic; he just thinks I'm similar to him, and he's the kind of person who doesn't want to attract too much attention...'

'With Ayanokouji around, perhaps he can help me further conceal my identity!'

Kusuo Saiki already had an idea in mind. Although Kiyotaka Ayanokouji's extraordinary insight and reasoning ability made him aware of his difference from others, even if Kiyotaka Ayanokouji racked his brains, he would never have guessed that Kusuo Saiki was a superpowered person.

Even Ayanokoji Kiyotaka could not escape the realm of ordinary people.

"it is good."

After some thought, Kusuo Saiki finally nodded to Kiyotaka Ayanokouji and shook hands with him.

"Then please guide me in the future."

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka replied.

Meanwhile, Kusuo Saiki began to think about what he should do next.

Kiyotaka Ayanokouji directly confronted Saiki Kusuo, revealing that Mio Ibuki was a spy. Even if Kusuo Saiki had rejected Kiyotaka's suggestion, he wouldn't have been able to use Mio to manipulate the score...

Is it really only possible to get first place in this exam?

What countless people yearn for is a huge burden for Kusuo Saiki.

However, if Class C really does get first place, then we can give all the credit to Kiyotaka Ayanokouji and make him the most eye-catching person.

......

Another day has passed. The other classes are no different from usual, but Class D, just as Shiina Hiyori had said before, collectively forfeited and returned to the main campus.

However, things are not that simple.

Previously, Kiyotaka Ayanokouji and Suzune Horikita saw Class D lavishly spending their points and enjoying their vacation on the shore, but this was actually just a facade deliberately created by Sho Ryuen to make the other classes think that Class D had given up.

However, in reality, Long Yuanxiang did not forfeit his rights; he remained alone on the isolated island.

Using his clairvoyance, Kusuo Saiki saw Ryuen Sho climbing a tree like a monkey, seemingly wanting to hide there temporarily.

'Robinson Crusoe...'

Saiki Kusuo thought to himself that Ryuen Sho would be surviving on this deserted island without any supplies or support.

Just like yesterday, Kusuo Saiki had to continue playing the role of a 'fishing expert'. Thanks to Hiyori Shiina's novel, the day didn't seem too long.

After returning to the camp and having dinner, everyone did the same thing as before, spending some free time before preparing to rest.

'Let's just spend the rest of our time doing nothing.'

As Saiki Kusuo thought this in his tent, he no longer wanted to waste any more time on this island. All he wanted now was to get back to the ship as soon as possible and enjoy his vacation.

"But since I can go home and enjoy the air conditioning every night, the impact isn't actually that significant."

The sky outside was completely dark, and the breathing of the others in the tent where Saiki Kusuo was located gradually became even. He was also preparing to use teleportation to return to his home.

But at that moment, he heard a loud noise coming from outside.

The time is ripe, and I'm ready to take action.

'Oh dear, are you starting to get into trouble?'

Kusuo Saiki immediately recognized it as Mio Ibuki's voice.

After lying low for a few days, Ibuki Mio is ready to begin her actions.

I need to create chaos within Class C so that I can carry out my actions more easily.

Karuizawa seems to be the leader of most of the girls in Class C. If someone were to target her, a large-scale argument would likely erupt within Class C.

'yes? '

Kusuo Saiki raised an eyebrow slightly. To be honest, he was somewhat curious about what action Mio Ibuki would take.

I'm going to steal Karuizawa's underwear.

'So it was about stealing underwear...'

Kusuo Saiki was stunned for a moment.

'? ? ? '

'What the hell? Your final plan is to steal someone's underwear?'

For a moment, Kusuo Saiki was at a loss for words. He thought Mio Ibuki would use some sophisticated scheme, but the result was something as simple as stealing underwear.

Outrageous.

'Can a pair of underwear really cause a class conflict? Impossible!'

Kusuo Saiki smiled slightly, not taking Mio Ibuki's words to heart at all. He then used his teleportation ability to return to his home, ready to get some rest.

While Kusuo Saiki was half asleep and half awake, he vaguely saw some new images.

The students in Class C are arguing...

Kiyotaka Ayanokoji was holding a pair of underwear in his hand...

A fire suddenly broke out in the camp...

"?"

Qi Mukuro suddenly woke up, feeling a slight headache.

This is Kusuo Saiki's ability to foresee the future; he can occasionally see flashbacks of future events, which often activates in his dreams.

However, this ability to predict events is uncontrollable and only fragmentary; the specific timing and cause of the predicted events are unclear.

'Oh dear, oh dear, there's been a fire?'

Kusuo Saiki's expression gradually became serious. If a fire were to actually break out in the future, this matter would be quite dangerous, and if it wasn't addressed in advance, there could be very serious consequences.

'Wait, wait, wait... Earlier, Ibuki said she would use stealing underwear to cause infighting in our class... Did she really succeed?'

Kusuo Saiki was somewhat surprised; he still found it hard to believe that a small pair of underwear could cause a crisis in the class.

Could it be that...a fight broke out in the class, and someone deliberately set the fire out of revenge? It's entirely possible that a fire was started during a roughhousing incident...

Kusuo Saiki's mind raced, and his drowsiness vanished instantly.

'We must prevent this from happening in any way possible.'

With that thought in mind, Saiki Kusuo instantly teleported back into the tent.

With a little use of his superpowers, he found the spot where Ibuki Mio had hidden Karuizawa Megumi's underwear, and then used telekinesis to move it back to its original location.

.....

The light of the second day finally arrived.

"Qi Mu, you're the first one up again... but you don't look like you slept well?"

Hirata Yosuke turned to look at Saiki Kusuo and asked.

I barely slept all night.

Kusuo Saiki thought to himself, but could only use the excuse that the weather was too hot to fall asleep to brush it off.

Soon, everyone left the tent, while Kusuo Saiki kept his attention on Mio Ibuki.

[Girls change clothes every day, right? Karuizawa will probably discover her underwear is missing soon. I've secretly hidden it in the clothes of the boys in her class. If they find it, they'll definitely start arguing!]

Ibuki Mio thought this to herself, while keeping her gaze fixed on Karuizawa Megumi, waiting for her to come out—

A few minutes later, Karuizawa Kei walked out of the tent while chatting with other girls, seemingly unaware of anything.

What? Karuizawa didn't notice?

A look of surprise appeared on Ibuki Mio's face.

"Sorry, I can't let your plan succeed."

Kusuo Saiki answered in his mind.

No, no, no, that shouldn't be... Could it be... that Karuizawa... didn't change her clothes at all?

As she had this thought, a look of disgust flashed across Ibuki Mio's face.

I'm sorry, Karuizawa-kun.

Kusuo Saiki shifted his gaze elsewhere, pretending not to know anything, while feeling a tiny bit of guilt towards Megumi Karuizawa.

After roll call in the morning, Kusuo Saiki could only go fishing by the river as usual. Although he didn't like this suddenly added setting to his character, at least he could get rid of the harassment from the other idiots in the class, which was acceptable.

Today, Sakura Airi seemed to be busy with other things and wasn't following behind Saiki Kusuo, which allowed him to have some long-awaited private time.

I didn't get much rest yesterday, but there shouldn't be anything much going on today. I'll take a short rest, and then I'll just catch a few fish to take home.

As Kusuo Saiki pondered this, he leaned against a large tree, intending to close his eyes and rest for a while, but he unknowingly fell asleep.

Just then, Sakura Airi hurried over to Saiki Kusuo's side.

【Saiki-kun... has been working very hard these past few days... I prepared some food and water for Saiki-kun...】

Sakura Airi left the camp early on because she wanted to prepare these things for Saiki Kusuo and do her best to lighten his burden.

"Huh? Is Qi Mu asleep?"

Sakura Airi saw Saiki Kusuo leaning against a big tree with his eyes closed, so she put the food aside and tiptoed to sit next to him.

"This is the first time I've seen Saiki sleeping..."
