Demon Slayer: I was taken home by Shinobu Kocho at the beginning.

Damn it, what did you say?

Putting aside whether we're teammates or not, why did NM try to betray me to save the day right from the start?

Dog traitor!

Oh, by the way, you were originally Japanese, and I am Japanese now as well.

traitor!

"Come over when I tell you to, and don't talk back," Chabashira-sensei said to Ayanokouji, then turned to Hoshinomiya, who was trying to follow, "Don't come with me."

"Don't be so cold! It's okay if I listen in, right?" Hoshinomiya-sensei said with a smile. "Besides, Kosae's behavior has been a bit strange lately, so I'm thinking... Kosae, you wouldn't be trying to overthrow your superiors, would you?"

Next?

What a niche term!

Tatsuya Kamio still prefers its antonym—bullying the weak!

But if it's this school, are they planning to promote Class D to a higher grade?

Who would have thought that Chabashira-sensei, who seemed to care about nothing, actually had such ambitions?

"Hoshinomiya, you don't need to overthink things. It's just that Class D has some issues to resolve."

"Oh, really? Then I can come along too! See, I can give you some advice, right?"

Just as Hoshinomiya-sensei was about to relentlessly follow them, a girl walked over.

She had long, strawberry-gold hair and was an exceptionally beautiful young woman who gave off a very strong impact, especially with her breasts.

Fifteen years old!

I thought it was incredibly lucky that this school could produce someone like Haruka Hasebe, but then I saw a second one.

Moreover, compared to Hasebe Haruka, the other party's temperament is clearly superior.

Oh no, it's too dazzling.

Tatsuya Kamio even wanted to look away, especially when their eyes met; it was too dazzling, he felt like he would go blind.

"Hoshinomiya-sensei, could I have a moment to spare? I have something to say about the student council."

The room fell silent, and then the atmosphere became slightly awkward.

"Um, did I come at the wrong time?"

"Well, well, see you next time then, Ayanokouji-san. Sorry to keep you waiting, Ichinose-san." Hoshinomiya waved to Ayanokouji with a regretful expression.

As for Tatsuya Kamio, he was never even given a second glance by the other party.

Do you think Kamio Tatsu would get angry?

No, no, no, this guy named Hoshinomiya is clearly not someone to mess with, and Kamio Tatsuya doesn't want to get involved with him at all. Besides, his attention has been focused on the girl named Ichinose.

That's great.

Chabashira-sensei watched Hoshinomiya-sensei leave.

Then, she scratched her head in frustration and sighed inexplicably, leaving Tatsuya Kamio and Kiyotaka Ayanokoji speechless.

Is this... premature menopause?

While harboring malicious thoughts, Tatsuya Kamio followed Chabashira-sensei to the counseling room.

"So... what's the reason you called us out?" Ayanokouji asked.

"Well," Teacher Chabashira glanced at the wall clock, "before I explain, please come over here for a moment."

Afterwards, Teacher Chazhu opened the inner room next to the counseling room. It looked like a tea room, with an electric stove and a kettle on it.

"Is brewing some tea enough? How about roasted tea?" With that, Ayanokouji picked up the teapot and turned over the teacup that had been upside down on the tea table.

"Then please give me a cup of black tea, thank you."

Kamio Tatsu sat down in the chair next to the tea table without any hesitation.

"You two, stop this now. Put down what you're holding. Also, stay here quietly until I let you out, and don't make a sound, understand? If you disobey, you'll be expelled."

It was Ayanokouji who suggested having tea first, so why was he being scolded?

As for the talk about dropping out of school for making a sound, just take it with a grain of salt.

Then Tatsuya Kamio took out his phone, edited a text message, and sent it out.

[Asahina-senpai, can the teachers at this school just expel students so easily?]

Chapter Thirty-Three: Horikita: I Want to Protest

A while later, at 3:30 p.m., the door to the counseling room opened, and the expected guest finally arrived.

"Come in, Horikita. What did you want to talk to me about?"

As expected, it was Horikita, and Tatsuya Kamio was not surprised.

"I have something to do later, so I just asked directly why I was assigned to Class D?"

Hearing this, Tatsuya Kamio shook his head inwardly. This guy, it's been a month, and he's still agonizing over this issue?

I have to say, he's only fifteen or sixteen years old.

Confucius said: "I examine myself three times a day," but you didn't listen to a word of it.

No, not necessarily. Perhaps she is indeed reflecting on herself, but people who get stuck on trivial matters will have a narrow perspective.

Therefore, she couldn't see where her problem lay.

This kind of person should be woken up by reality.

There's a saying that goes something like this: "People can't teach you everything, but you can learn something in no time!"

Hopefully, when she stumbles in the future, she will be able to get back up on her own.

"Is this the second time you've asked me about something similar?"

the second time?

Kamio Tatsuya was taken aback. Had he asked this question once before?

Could it be from the time when I received the information?

Let's go back to about a month ago.

After receiving the class assignment information from Tatsuya Kamio, Suzune Horikita had been thinking about this matter, but she couldn't possibly consider herself to be like those guys in Class D.

So the day after receiving the information, she went to ask Chabashira-sensei about it.

Her question at the time was also very direct.

"Teacher, I heard that this school has a different class assignment rule. Is that true?"

Chabashira Sae was incredibly moved when Horikita Suzune asked that question.

After all these years, is it finally time for Class D to produce an extraordinary person?

Wait, she said she heard?

"You said you heard it from someone, may I ask who told you that?"

"I promised them I wouldn't tell anyone."

Chabashira Sae was somewhat disappointed, but judging from Horikita's expression, it seemed unlikely that she could get him to reveal that person's name.

"Then I regret to inform you that there are many things about this school that I cannot tell you in the first month. If you want to know, please ask me on the first of next month."

At that time, Chabashira-sensei dismissed Horikita Suzune like that, and Horikita Suzune observed the students in Class D after returning home.

She admitted that there were indeed many unreliable students in Class D, but there were also some outstanding students among them.

For example, Yosuke Hirata.

Therefore, she felt that the information given to her by Tatsuya Kamio must be wrong. How could someone as outstanding as her be the same as those guys in Class D who were at the bottom of the class?

Even if Chabashira-sensei said the same thing as Kamio Tatsuya today, she still wouldn't believe it.

So, as soon as school was over, Horikita Suzune arranged to meet with Chabashira-sensei, and as soon as they met, she asked about the class assignments again.

And judging from the other person's tone, they still felt that they shouldn't have been assigned to Class D.

Today, Ms. Chabashira learned that the current student council president, Horikita Manabu, is Horikita Suzune's older brother. So she wondered if Horikita Manabu had told Horikita Suzune about the class assignments.

"It seems a bit unfair for me to answer you alone. Well then, I also have a question for you: who did you hear about the class assignments from when you heard about them at the beginning of the semester?"

Upon hearing this question, Tatsuya Kamio, who was in the break room, immediately felt awkward.

Although he had instructed Horikita not to tell anyone, times have changed, and the information was not disclosed at the time.

Now that everything has been exposed, will she help keep it a secret?

“I promised him I wouldn’t reveal his name.”

Hearing Horikita Suzune's words, Kamio Tatsuya secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this guy was still a man of his word.

"Let me rephrase the question: Is he an upperclassman? I don't think they forbade you from revealing that."

Horikita Suzune tried to recall for a moment, then nodded.

"He is a first-year student, just like me."

So it wasn't her brother who helped.

However, Chabashira Sae quickly realized, "A first-year student?"

Horikita Suzune's social circle is extremely narrow, so narrow that she barely pays attention to her classmates, and has very few people she interacts with.

Furthermore, assuming that the student is someone she knows, then the most likely candidate for that student is... in that break room.

Because these are the only two people who can usually talk to Horikita.

who is it?

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka?

Or is it Tatsuya Kamio?

Chabashira Sae was a little unsure, but if it wasn't the two of them, then it would most likely be a student from Class A.

After all, Class A only had six points deducted in the first month of this year, just like Class D, which made history. However, compared to Class D's lower limit, Class A set a new upper limit for the school.

However, it wouldn't be surprising if there were someone in Class A who could see through the rules in advance.

There couldn't be worse news.

Chashu Sae felt increasingly agitated as she thought about it.

"Teacher, you said today that outstanding students will be selected into Class A in order, while Class D is the last stronghold for the bottom students in the school, but I don't think I'm the same as those guys."

"What, you're not convinced? Looks like you think you're so great."

"Of course! I'm confident I solved almost all the questions on the entrance exam, and I don't recall making any major mistakes in the interview. At least I can't imagine being assigned to Class D."

A major mistake?

What's the difference between saying you're being targeted and saying that?

To put it bluntly, who do you think you are that the school would target you?

If the school wants to target you, they can simply not admit you.

Even now that the school rules have been disclosed, this school is still much better than most schools outside the school.

At the very least, there are no tuition or accommodation fees, which alone puts it ahead of most high schools.

This can be seen from the reaction of the students in Class D. The information this morning was undoubtedly a big blow to them, but none of them chose to drop out of school.

After all, even the most idiotic person knows that this school is better than other schools.

Even if you don't get special privileges, it's the same.

Even high schools outside don't have that privilege, but here you can still try your luck.

Furthermore, Horikita isn't the only one in Class D with good grades. Koenji, Yukimura, and Hirata all have excellent academic records as well.

Moreover, Koenji and Hirata have even better athletic ability than Horikita.

No one else is causing trouble, so why are you?
