A crossover anime, where people are in Classroom of the Imaginary Era, and behind the scenes, the ki

He pushed up his glasses, using the reflection in the lenses to conceal the emotions in his eyes.

"I didn't expect you to have learned to be cunning and sly."

"You should know that this will only make me more disappointed in you."

"No, that wasn't my intention..."

"I just... I just wanted to..."

Horikita Suzune's expression panicked, and the courage she had been forcing crumbled.

Horikita understood instantly.

This is clearly not something Horikita Suzune could have come up with.

Is someone giving her advice behind her back?

Or is it...?

Horikita Manabu seemed to be deep in thought.

"If I tell the teacher about this, or report it to the school."

He stepped forward, his powerful aura forcing Horikita Suzune to retreat.

Do you think your Class D still has any hope of turning things around?

"Have you even considered that this itself is a violation of the rules?"

"Huh?"

Horikita Suzune's mind went completely blank.

Fear, shame, self-doubt... countless negative emotions overwhelmed her in an instant.

Just when she was at a loss and on the verge of a complete breakdown.

"Oh dear, you're so strict, President."

Accompanied by the crisp sound of a cane tapping the ground.

Sakayanagi Arisu, arm in arm with Su Wei, slowly emerged from the shadows.

"Horikita Suzune, Horikita Manabu... I should have known you had this connection."

Their private affairs were exposed.

Horikita Manabu did not show any signs of panic.

He didn't hide it either:

"This is not surprising."

"She's just a good-for-nothing sister who brings me shame."

"..."

Horikita Suzune lowered her head, her fingernails digging deeply into her palms.

"Isn't that entirely true?"

Su Wei, who had been silently watching the show, suddenly spoke up.

"In this school where merit reigns supreme, no matter the means, the result is what matters most, isn't it?"

"Thanks to her, at least in yesterday's special exam, our Class D's ranking was on par with Class A."

Upon hearing this, Horikita Manabu glanced at Su Wei.

"Your Class D?"

"uh-huh."

Sakayanagi Arisu chimed in, smiling innocently:

"Yes, as one of the references, I have to admit it."

"Horikita and Suwei really cooperated very well. The two of them scored 90 points together, which is actually on par with Class A!"

Horikita Suzune heard this.

His gaze toward Su Wei and Sakayanagi suddenly became complicated.

There is both the shame and disgrace of stealing someone else's credit.

And deep in my heart, a faint hope rose again.

If that's the case...

Will my brother change his opinion of me even slightly?

Even just a little bit of recognition?

Unfortunately, Horikita Manabu completely ignored her feelings.

He turned his head, his gaze lingering on Sakayanagi for a moment:

“I remember you, Arisu Sakayanagi from Class 1-A.”
