After completing the transaction, Ryunosuke planned to eat at the cafeteria before leaving. However, outside it suddenly started raining very heavily, and coincidentally the student cafeteria was separated from the classroom building across from it.
So, unfortunately he couldn't go to class. But actually... excellent!
Finally he had the right excuse to skip, although the price was being trapped inside the cafeteria and unable to leave.
Not long after, three more people ran inside. They draped their school uniforms over their heads to protect themselves from the rainwater. Those uniforms were made of high-quality material that had a certain level of water resistance, so when they arrived at the cafeteria to take shelter, their clothes weren't too wet.
And these three people were people known by Ryunosuke. They were Manabu Shiho, Ibuki Mio, and Ishizaki Daiki.
The three of them of course saw Ryunosuke. They felt a bit awkward because both sides had previously had conflicts. However, Ibuki didn't feel awkward at all; she stepped forward and greeted him.
"Hey, next time fight with me again. I won't lose again."
Facing Ibuki's attitude of not wanting to lose, Ryunosuke directed his finger to the girl's forehead and flicked it lightly.
"Next time."
Ibuki rubbed her forehead, feeling a bit confused. "Why did you flick my forehead?"
"Just for fun!" Ryunosuke answered without hesitation.
Seeing the two didn't intend to fight, Shiho and Ishizaki breathed a sigh of relief. They also walked over and greeted.
"Yo, last time I really got beaten up thoroughly by you, haha." Ishizaki put his arm around Ryunosuke's shoulder as if they were old friends who hadn't met for a long time.
Ryunosuke dodged with disgust. "I'm not that close with you, right? Don't try to act familiar."
"Don't talk so coldly, isn't there a saying 'no acquaintance without a fight'?"
Ishizaki this time put his arm around his neck. Ryunosuke remained vigilant and held the man's arm firmly, afraid lest he would be attacked suddenly.
Shiho also came to greet. "Regarding the incident last time, I won't apologize. After all, it was that Karuizawa's fault."
Shiho said while placing hands on hips. Even if the opponent wanted to move again, she would never bow her head.
Ryunosuke felt very helpless. "Can I say that last time's incident was just an accident?"
"I also didn't want the problem to become that complicated. Last time I just couldn't hold back and moved just like that, it wasn't something I could control."
At that time was the second time Ryunosuke activated his chuunibyou mode, so indeed it wasn't easy to control. Now it was different; he could control it well and could turn it off anytime. And the medium, the Stardust Dragon card, he had already put into a transparent card box hung around his neck so it could be used at any time.
Shiho didn't say anything in response to Ryunosuke's explanation. After all, she couldn't win in a fight. Even though she wasn't afraid of problems, it didn't mean she wanted to get beaten up.
The four people sat in cafeteria chairs, waiting for the rain to subside in silence. Ishizaki scratched his head irritably.
"This student expulsion exam was really simple and crude. Luckily boss Shiina managed to collect enough points, otherwise I really wouldn't know what to do?"
Hiyori indeed didn't tell the details of the incident to the people in class. After all, Ryunosuke was Class D's great enemy, so it was better to hide some things. Because of that, Class D people didn't know from whom Hiyori borrowed points.
Hearing their conversation, Ryunosuke understood the situation and found it hard to comment. Considering he was considered their enemy, Hiyori's actions could be understood, but this wasn't beneficial for the next plan. If Class D people didn't know what he had done, how could he make them owe him a favor and give him votes later?
So, Ryunosuke immediately said to the three of them, "Those points I gave them."
The three immediately fell silent. They weren't stupid; in this school who else had that many personal points? Just by guessing it was already obvious. It was just that Hiyori didn't say it to protect everyone's feelings.
Seeing their reaction, Ryunosuke nodded satisfactorily. Seeing the rain outside had subsided, he prepared to stand up and leave.
Ishizaki's eyes spun, thinking of a crazy idea. He stood up and blocked him who was about to leave. Ryunosuke furrowed his brows, thinking the opponent wanted to attack, and secretly placed his hand on the Stardust Dragon card, ready to release chuunibyou power at any time...
Seeing his vigilant attitude, Ishizaki hurriedly waved his hand.
"You misunderstand, I don't want to fight. I want to cooperate with you."
Ryunosuke stopped his steps. "Cooperate with me?"
Ishizaki nodded enthusiastically. "That's right, cooperation."
Shiho pulled the edge of her boyfriend's clothes. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Ishizaki brushed off his girlfriend's hand. "Don't interfere, I've already found a way to rise to Class A!"
"Oh?" Ryunosuke now felt curious and wanted to hear what kind of idea this person had. Not because he believed the man could think of a way to rise to Class A, but purely out of curiosity.
Ishizaki rubbed his nose, then placed hands on hips very confidently.
"As long as Akasaka can come to our class, everything will be settled. Rising to Class A will become a very easy thing!"
Ishizaki clenched his fist, his eyes full of conviction.
Ryunosuke now felt himself very stupid for having believed...
Ishizaki once again put his arm around his shoulder.
"Join our class! Akasaka, as long as you're there, rising to Class A will be as easy as flipping the palm of your hand."
Ryunosuke removed Ishizaki's hand from his shoulder with a flat face. After saying one word "Bakayaro!", he walked away, leaving Ishizaki frozen alone.
Shiho covered her face with her hand. "You're my boyfriend, but I really feel embarrassed."
Ibuki also patted Ishizaki's shoulder, pretending to comfort. "If your brain isn't working right, go to the infirmary for treatment."
She showed a gaze full of pity.
The corner of Ishizaki's mouth twitched. "But what I said is the truth... if he's there, rising to Class A is no longer a dream."
Shiho rolled her eyes and kicked her boyfriend's leg.
"Baka! What were you thinking inviting him to join our class?"
"Even if we were willing for him to join, would the person himself be willing?"
"What would he have nothing better to do? He's already comfortable in Class C, why would he transfer to Class D?"
"Oh~" Facing his girlfriend's scolding, Ishizaki showed an expression like a small child and touched his two index fingers together with sad feelings.
