A classroom that relies on high technology to achieve excellence

That's right, this is the impression that Ayanokouji has of Kushida. Although he also thinks that such a person should not exist, Class B already has an Ichinose Angel, so why can't Class D have a Kushida Angel?

But he was just thinking about it. He knew that there was something wrong with Kushida, otherwise he would not be assigned to Class D. It was just that he didn't know what Kushida's problem was.

Now, Horikita's words seemed to open up a new line of thought for him.

"I don't think you're making a fuss, so I hope you can give me a reason. You're not saying this because you think she hates you, are you?" Kanda Shuichi continued following Ayanokouji's words and gave the right to speak back to Horikita Suzune.

"Does Kushida really hate Horikita?"

This was the first time Ayanokouji had heard such words, so he seemed a little surprised.

"Yes, this was admitted by Kushida herself on the ship, and Kanda was also present at the time." Horikita Suzune nodded, "But I won't accuse her of being a traitor just because she hates me. I have reasons to say she is a traitor."

Kanda Hide nodded slightly, signaling Horikita to continue.

You continue to talk and I continue to listen, then secretly laugh at you. As expected, Class D is not boring even now.

He also cares about Kushida's past. Although there have been some breakthroughs in their relationship recently, she still hasn't taken the initiative to speak out.

But before that, Shuichi Kanda felt it necessary to remind Horikita.

"Then let me hear your reasons. But are you really determined to involve Ayanokouji, an irrelevant person?"

"Then I'll leave first."

Ayanokouji turned around and prepared to leave this place of trouble.

"Wait, I want to hear your thoughts on this matter as well. Aren't you interested in why Kushida-san was assigned to Class D? Besides, you promised me that you would help me lead Class D to Class A, right?"

Ayanokouji, who originally wanted to leave, returned here because of the information given by Horikita.

Because he was somewhat interested in the way Kushida treated all the students in the class kindly, but Horikita was the only exception.

It seems that you have made up your mind, Horikita Suzune. Then I can only say that I am very sorry.

"Kanda-san, and Ayanokouji, you all met Kushida-san on the bus at the beginning of the school term, right?"

Kanda Hide nodded slightly, but he didn't know that Ayanokouji and Horikita Suzune were also in the car at that time.

"Were you in the car at the time?"

"Yes, Ayanokouji's seat was across the aisle from me at the time."

Horikita Suzune nodded and said, "In fact, Kushida-san and I are students in the same junior high school, but when I first saw her, I didn't recognize her because our school is a large school with more than a thousand people."

"I understand. You probably wouldn't care much about other students at that time, right?"

Although reluctant, Horikita nodded.

"The first time I remembered Kushida was during the reading club last semester, because her gentle attitude towards everyone reminded me of someone like her in middle school.

In middle school, she was kind to everyone and left a good impression, making her a popular figure. Although she didn't seem to join the student union, she should be quite cohesive.

Listening to what Horikita said, Kanda Shuichi could imagine, because this is what Kushida is like now. Although his influence has not yet expanded to other grades, there is almost no one in the first grade that Kushida doesn't know.

So, Horikita, what is your basis for thinking that Kushida is a traitor?

Kanda Shuichi wanted to continue listening to Horikita's stories.

"Then what is your basis for judging that Kushida might be a traitor?"

Having said this, Horikita took a deep breath and his expression immediately became serious.

"What I'm going to say next is the basis for what I said, but I can't guarantee that it's true. This is just a rumor I heard. I'm afraid only Kushida himself knows the specific truth."

"It was when I was in my third year of middle school and about to graduate. One day in late February, a class was absent en masse."

"It shouldn't be the spread of the flu."

"Ayanokouji, your joke is not funny at all."

"No, I just stated a possibility."

"What possibility is there? If there is a flu that can infect the entire class, then all of Japan must be doomed by now, right?"

……

"You two shut up!" Horikita really had no idea what to do with these two people, especially Kanda Shuichi.

"Well, keep talking, I'm listening."

"This incident spread immediately at school. It was said that a certain girl was the instigator of the class collapse. And then, that class did not recover until graduation."

"So that girl is Kushida, right?"

"Yes, if that girl is Kushida, then it is completely clear why Kushida-san was assigned to Class D."

"But I don't know the specific reason why the class collapsed. The news was suppressed by the school not long after. After all, if such a thing were to be fully disclosed, it would definitely have a huge impact on the school. It is not impossible for the school to close down because of it. However, the truth cannot be hidden. No matter how much the school blocks the news, rumors still spread."

"Because the class was discussing this matter after it happened, I also heard about it. It seemed that the classroom was in a mess, and the blackboards and desks were full of slanderous and defamatory graffiti."

At this point, the truth is clear.

"That's it, I understand."

Kanda Hideo nodded.

"What do you understand?" Horikita tilted his head in confusion.

"If it was indeed Kikyo who caused the class to collapse, isn't the reason obvious?"

Horikita and Ayanokouji were both a little confused. Is it obvious? Why can't we guess it?

Need I say more? Kushida must have been caught venting her emotions, and her inner personality was exposed.

The graffiti on the blackboard and desks were also directed at Kushida. As for why the class collapsed, it must be that Kushida took countermeasures. As for what the means were, Kanda Shuichi didn't want to guess.

"You don't have to look at me like that. I won't tell you. If you want to know, you might as well just ask Kikyo."

Looking at Kanda Shuichi's expression, Horikita suddenly asked, "Have you known for a long time that Kushida is not what he seems to be?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Then you still..."

"What's wrong with me?"

Kanda Shuichi's words left Horikita speechless. Yes, that was not a big deal.

"No, nothing." Horikita shook her head, "So you understand why Kushida hates me."

"Well, so you think Kikyo is against you because she hates you, and even took the initiative to provide information to Ryuen when he said he wanted to defeat you?"

Horikita nodded. This was exactly what she was thinking.

"But I'm just guessing. I can't be sure that it was Class D that she betrayed."

That's not what you said just now.

And after hearing these words, Kanda Shuichi no longer had any desire to watch the fun.

Kikyo, you really didn't misjudge the person. Horikita really did tell your secret, and he even told it to Ayanokouji, an unrelated outsider.

"But if you tell her secret to an unrelated outsider, won't it make her hate you even more?" As he said this, Kanda Hideichi glanced at Ayanokouji standing beside him.

Regarding this matter, Hideichi Kanda was not satisfied with Horikita's approach.

I know you want to rely on Ayanokouji's power, but this is not the reason for you to tell Ayanokouji the secret of Kikyo.

Well, but Kanda Shuichi has no right to blame Horikita. After all, Horikita was just talking about an incident from his middle school days, and most people probably wouldn't think it was Kushida.

But Ayanokouji is different, this guy is not an ordinary person.

Horikita was silent for a long time, then sighed.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think it through." Then she looked at Ayanokouji, "Ayanokouji-san, please swear not to tell anyone about what happened today."

"This kind of thing is just your guess, Horikita. Even if I tell it to others, no one will believe it, right?"

"Well, I mean, I won't tell anyone. I swear."

In fact, although Shuichi Kanda was dissatisfied with Horikita's behavior, he actually felt that it would be better if Kushida could take off his disguise, at least he would not have to face the pressure of smiling at others every day.

I don't want others to know Kushida's secret, but I also want Kushida to have less pressure every day. In short, it's very contradictory.

Kanda Hideichi glanced at Ayanokouji, and then was speechless again. It had to be this guy Ayanokouji.

This guy is very smart. He must have known that the weapon that Kushida used to destroy the class is something that only Kushida can master.

Lies don't hurt, the truth is the sharpest knife.

There are all kinds of lies hidden in the interactions between people. Even though they hate each other to death, they still have to smile at each other.

Kushida is not the only one like this. Once you enter society, you will find that most people say one thing to your face and another behind your back, especially when subordinates are facing their leaders.

What the leader says in person is right, but behind his back he is an idiot.

It’s just that Kushida took lying to the extreme, making himself the most trusted person, and then found out the truth about others.

The reason why she caused the class to collapse was simple, that was that she revealed all the truths that the students wanted to hide.

Then, the real information that exploded instantly caused the relationship in the entire class to completely collapse in an instant. Everyone's heart was hit hard, so everyone avoided this horrible reality and stayed away from school.

The consequence is that everyone in the class is absent and all the students are broken.

Yes, after all, they are just boys and girls of fifteen or sixteen years old, so it is natural that they cannot bear the psychological pressure.

Chapter 198 Operations Meeting

After Horikita finished speaking, Ayanokouji fell into deep thought, because he also understood how Kushida defeated the entire class.

If Kushida is really the person in the rumors, then Kushida must have used the secrets of the students in the class to bring down the entire class.

If Horikita doesn't respond properly to Kushida's measures, it might cause trouble and the past will repeat itself.

The only difference is that this time it might be Class D that collapses.

Just in case, Ayanokouji decided to ask first.

"Horikita, if Kushida is really a traitor, what are you going to do?"

"What should I do? I don't have a choice. Apart from insisting on telling Kushida-san 'I don't know the details' and 'I will never tell anyone about this', there is no other way."

Horikita's words made Ayanokouji feel relieved. If Horikita insisted on revealing Kushida's past, he would have stopped her.

Because if they did that, Kushida would definitely not sit still and wait for death, and then Class D would probably collapse like the class in the rumors that Horikita had heard.

By that time, Class D will no longer have any hope of being promoted to Class A, and Mr. Chabashira, who will be so angry that he will definitely expel me.

Ayanokouji will not let Horikita expose the matter of Kushida until his own safety can be guaranteed.

Therefore, Horikita's answer made Ayanokouji feel relieved.

"But it's too early to say that now, because no one can be sure that Kushida-san is definitely a traitor."

That's true, because Kushida really isn't a traitor.

However, if Kanda Shuichi had not stopped Kushida at the beginning, Horikita's guess would probably have been completely correct.

"Let's go to Pareto and meet them first. It's not good to let them wait too long." Kanda Shuichi took out his cell phone and looked at it, then suggested.

"Alright."

On the other side, Kushida took off the headphones hidden under his hair and revealed a gloomy expression where Karuizawa and Hirata could not see.

As early as when Horikita mentioned that Kushida was a traitor, Kanda Shuichi secretly called Kushida, which means that Kushida heard all the discussions among the three people just now.

A few minutes later, seven people from Class D gathered in Paret's box.

“Ah—really, what were you doing just now? You’re so slow. You didn’t even apologize—?”

It was a statement very much in the style of Karuizawa, but was ignored by everyone.

"I'll start right away. Hirata-san has club activities too, after all."

"Well, let's start with the next quiz."

After Horikita started talking about the topic, Hirata responded immediately.

"There's nothing much to say about this, right? No one thinks this quiz is meaningless, right?" Kanda Hideichi's words embarrassed several people in the room.

At least that's the case with Karuizawa and Sudo.

"Chabashira-sensei has reminded us so clearly."

Kanda Shuichi sighed.
