For the first time, the girl felt the boy's back, which was filled with loneliness and desolation.
……
In front of the dormitory building.
"Hey, Horikita-san, is your foot okay?"
Kushida, who was returning to the dormitory with his friends, happened to see Horikita waiting for someone.
"Kushida-san, I have something to tell you."
Horikita pointed to an open space not far away. Kushida was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded to indicate that it was okay.
"The information about Class D's participants in this sports festival has been leaked. Do you know what happened?"
Horikita asked directly.
"Huh? This kind of thing actually happened?!"
Kushida covered his mouth, looking very surprised.
Seeing this, Horikita frowned slightly and said, "There are only you and me here, so there's no need to pretend anymore."
"Horikita-san, you're acting weird. I don't quite understand what you're talking about."
"Then I'll be frank. The person who leaked the information to Class C was you, right?"
Horikita stared fiercely at Kushida, but he didn't panic at all. He even had a smile on his face: "That's annoying! Why would Horikita suspect me? Did you get this information from someone else?"
As he spoke, the smile on Kushida's face completely disappeared, leaving only coldness.
"Someone?"
Horikita shook her head. "This is the conclusion I came to after eliminating the wrong options. Also, your behavior in the infirmary at noon was too suspicious."
"So that's just Horikita's guess, right? You can't slander someone without any evidence."
"Kushida-san, shouldn't we have known each other earlier?"
Horikita seemed to be recalling something: "When I gave up my seat on the bus at the beginning of the school year, I thought I had no impression of you at all, but now I remember it..."
The face of Kushida opposite him had been filled with darkness at some point.
"It's about an incident in my old junior high school. I remember there was a student who looked similar to you."
What surprised Horikita was that Kushida on the opposite side smiled, but this smile was full of gloom and coldness.
"Did you finally remember? Come to think of it, even if you forget something, there's a limit. After all, I never thought you wouldn't remember."
"Sure enough, about that matter..."
"I was the one who leaked it, so now what do you want to do?"
Kushida rudely interrupted Horikita's attempt to continue exploring the truth about her past and challenged her directly.

Chapter 28 Genius Buried.
Horikita was a little surprised by Kushida's sudden and decisive admission. Based on Kushida's attitude just now, she originally thought that he would continue to play dumb.
"I didn't realize until now that you wanted me to drop out. Are you willing to take such a big risk for this? Are you worried that I'll reveal your past in junior high school? You should know that if I reveal it now, you'll be finished."
Horikita stared coldly at Kushida across from him, but unfortunately he didn't see any panic on his face. Instead, he smiled.
"Horikita, you know what? There was a hateful guy who said the same thing to me before. Even if you reveal it now, will everyone believe you or me?"
"I see. It seems you are very confident."
Horikita narrowed her eyes slightly: "But... since you want me to drop out so badly, it also means that you don't want to reveal this matter in your heart, right?"
Kushida was silent, and at the same time he finally felt how difficult his daughter was. She was exactly the same as that hateful dead fish eyed girl!
"I'm not interested in your junior high school past, and I don't care about your hostility towards me. But I hope you can defeat me with honorable means, rather than resorting to unscrupulous means like this, even betraying the class."
Even though Horikita knew that Kushida was hostile to her, she didn't care. There were many people who were hostile to her and had conflicts with her since she was a child. Horikita had long been accustomed to living in such an environment. Of course, she was not a punching bag who would accept everything.
"shut up!"
For some reason, Kushida's expression suddenly changed drastically, and he became agitated: "You are like this, and that guy is like this too. Do you guys look down on me like this?!"
Horikita's words suddenly reminded Kushida of what Hikigaya had said to her not long ago, almost exactly the same words. That was why Kushida was so angry!
"Look down on you?"
Horikita shook her head: "I never looked down on you. On the contrary, I now think that you, Kushida, are better than me, because I also realize my own shortcomings."
Horikita also realized that she used to be "arrogant". Just like what Hikigaya said, she was a frog in a well. Now she has faced up to her own shortcomings and no longer looks down on others from a high position like before.
Kushida's own abilities may not be outstanding, but his social skills and the techniques for communicating with others are far beyond Horikita's reach. She used to be dismissive of this, but now she has gradually changed her mind and realized that sometimes personal abilities alone are not enough, and teamwork and social skills are also indispensable.
"you!!!"
Kushida didn't seem to expect that Horikita, who was so arrogant and had a sour face towards everyone, would actually say such a thing. Moreover, even such a proud Horikita admitted that he was not as good as himself?
For some reason, Kushida suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart. Was it because his abilities were recognized by the other party?
No, no, how could I be happy about something like this!
This must be a smokescreen that Horikita deliberately released to confuse me and let me down my guard!
"Why do you seem so angry? Did I say something wrong?"
Horikita also noticed that Kushida looked very annoyed and asked in confusion.
Kushida opened his mouth when he heard that, yes, why am I so angry?
"Anyway, I won't let you go!"
Kushida stamped his foot in annoyance.
"you?"
Horikita seemed to notice something unusual, and Kushida's face froze. He stared at Horikita fiercely, and left after saying "We'll see what happens".
……
On the third floor of the Special Teaching Building, no student would choose to be here at this time.
"Are you the one looking for me?"
Ayanokouji looked at the silver-haired girl who slowly walked out of the classroom. Just when the sports festival was over, a purple-haired girl found him and claimed that she had something to say about herself, so he came here under her guidance.
The purple-haired girl who led the way has left. It seems that the real person is the silver-haired girl in front of him who is leaning on a cane.
Class A... No, now it should be Arisu Sakayanagi from Class B.
But in the face of Ayanokouji's question, the girl opposite did not answer. Instead, the two of them just looked at each other in silence. Ayanokouji could feel that the way the girl looked at him seemed a little different from the others, as if there was a kind of... familiar feeling?
"Have we met before?"
Ayanokouji asked. He was very confident in his memory. He was 100% sure that he had never seen the girl in front of him, but she seemed to 'know' him?
"As expected of Ayanokouji-kun, you have amazing sensitivity."
Sakayanagi chuckled and said, "To be precise, I've seen you before."
Although no expression could be seen on Ayanokouji's face, the cold aura emanating from him seemed to reveal his inner thoughts.
"I see. Then what is it that you want to see me out for?"
Ayanokouji didn't respond to the other party's topic, but asked calmly.
"I just saw Ayanokouji-kun's amazing running performance, and it was so impressive that I couldn't resist coming to meet you."
The girl, leaning on her cane, slowly walked to Ayanokouji, her body slightly bent. "Ayanokouji-kun, long time no see. Today should be the 3163rd day."
Ayanokouji was slightly taken aback when he heard this. This number was equivalent to more than 8 years. At that time, he should have...
"8 years ago? I don't have any memory of you in my mind."
"Come to think of it, after all, you don't know I exist."
Sakayanagi showed a half-smile on her face and said softly, "White room."
In an instant, numerous images and thoughts flashed through Ayanokouji's mind.
"You just wanted to attack me, right?"
At this moment, Sakayanagi on the ground suddenly spoke.
Ayanokouji didn't answer, because the moment he heard the word "white room", he did subconsciously have an impulse, but his tense muscles and the breath that was instantly revealed were still noticed by the other party?
"You must be feeling very uncomfortable right now, right? Because someone you don't know has your information, but you know nothing about me."
Sakayanagi chuckled.
"I do not understand what you mean."
"Haha, it doesn't matter if you don't understand. After all, even I didn't expect to meet Ayanokouji-kun again in this school. It's really the best gift God has given me. But don't worry, I won't tell anyone about Ayanokouji-kun."
"why?"
"Because you belong to me, a genius that I will bury with my own hands. Wouldn't it be a real bummer to be disturbed by others?"
Sakayanagi's words exuded an immense confidence.

Chapter 29: One percent gap.
Bury me?
Ayanokouji repeated these words in his mind again.
"I want to ask you something."
Ling Xiaolu said expressionlessly.
"Sure, any question is fine. I can answer questions like when did I meet you and how did I know about you."
Sakayanagi seemed to be enjoying this moment immensely, a kind of cat-and-mouse teasing.
"No, I'm not interested in that."
Surprisingly, Ayanokouji shook his head, looked calmly at the girl opposite him, and slowly said, "What I want to know is, can you bury me?"
The scene suddenly fell silent, and the next second Sakayanagi smiled, and even smiled very happily.
"That's truly amazing. Of course, I'm not making fun of what you just said. After all, I know how powerful Ayanokouji-kun is. But that's precisely why I'm looking forward to destroying you, the 'greatest masterpiece' of the White House that your father personally nurtured!"
"Really? I'm looking forward to this day too."
Ayanokouji said calmly, "But before that, you must have been in a mess with someone."
Sakayanagi: "..."
The smile on Sakayanagi's face suddenly turned cold.
"It seems like I hit a sore spot?"
"Haha, it seems Ayanokouji-kun isn't as clueless as I thought."
Sakayanagi narrowed her eyes and looked at Ayanokouji again, as he seemed to be a little different from what she had expected.
"You mean Hikigaya-kun? Indeed, I admit that Hikigaya-kun's abilities are outstanding, but unfortunately, I have seen countless geniuses as outstanding as him. If you say that he can cause me trouble, then I can only say that this is just a game."
"You mean, you've never been serious?"
"Haha, seriously?"
Sakayanagi acted as if she had heard some ridiculous joke: "There's only one person I can take seriously, Ayanokouji-kun. Do you understand?"
"I see. Then I should be glad to be an opponent you take seriously."
Ayanokouji said calmly, "But compared to you, I think Hikigaya is more of a threat."
Sakayanagi's smile froze for a moment, but then returned to normal, albeit with a slightly colder expression. "I thought Ayanokouji-kun and I would agree, but it seems we have quite different opinions. So, before that, I'll deal with the guy who's in my way first."
Ayanokouji said nothing. He looked deeply at Sakayanagi across from him and then turned and left.
After a long time, a purple-haired girl appeared at the corner of the corridor.
"Hey, it's time to go."
