Ayanokouji POV
"Hey what's up?" Karuizawa said while I was talking to her on the phone
"I wanted to apologize to you" I said
"Apologize? For what?" She asked
"I already have enough information on Daigo, but I ended up putting you through a lot of trouble to get me the information I needed."
"Huh? What do you mean?" she asked
"I'm not going to help you guys anymore"
"Wait, why?! where did this come from Kiyotaka?"
"It's for your own safety, I don't want you getting involved with something that I'm about to do"
"Wha...what are you going to do?"
"You may not know it, but Daigo is dangerous, and he knows about me. I can't let you get caught in our violent feud" I replied
"Feud? are you two fighting?"
"I don't need to explain any further, as of now I'll be cutting my ties with you"
"Wait you can't just"
"Delete this number and don't call me because this is the last time that I'm contacting you" I said
"But Kiyotaka, wai..." I already hung up before she could say anything more.
I already told myself and my classmates that she's just a pawn. She served her purpose, but I can't get this feeling out of my chest. What is this? regret? no that's not it. I don't regret cutting Karuizawa off and yet...

It felt heavy...

It was the afternoon. Classes were over and everyone in class was either getting ready to leave or having some conversations.
"With Class S staying on top, I don't think anyone can stop us" Kei said
"I guess it is quite enjoyable to have achievements like this" Tatsuya said
"Anyways, Shiro and I will be meeting with Chiaki-senpai for our daily gaming sessions" Sora said as he was about leave with Shiro.
"Wow ever since you two met Nanami-senpai, this is all you've been doing after classes, and you just called her by her first name" Karma said
"She is a fun person" Shiro said
"Hate to break your little conversation but I just saw Ryuen and his goons going after someone" Akise said
"Ryuen? what's he doing now?" Lelouch asked
"Well, someone has to check it out Kiyotaka-san, Lelouch-san, Suzaku-san, and Karma-san, is it alright if you guys check it out?" Kei asked
"Sure" I replied
"Lelouch" Suzaku said
"Very well" he said as he stood up
"Alright we'll check it out" Karma said as the 4 of us followed where Ryuen and the rest of Class C are going.
We made it outside as we looked for Ryuen and we managed to find him as well as the rest of Class C surrounding Koenji? What do they want from him, and it looks like Horikita, Keisei, and Akito, and Sudo are there too.
"Looks like something big is happening," Lelouch said
"No s*** sherlock I mean they're literally confronting the narcissist himself" Karma said
"Let's stay back for now and see what happens" Lelouch suggested, and we agreed
Koenji was surrounded by Ryuen and Class C that consisted of Ibuki, Albert, Ishizaki, Komiya, and Kondo.
"Wait, exactly are you planning?" Horikita shouted
"Oh, nothing much, besides I want to confirm something" Ryuen said
"What is it with you people confronting me at a time like this?" Koenji asked
"Listen I want you to come with me and answer a few of my questions, that's all. Weirdo"
"Weirdo? is that what you think of me?" Koenji asked
"Isn't it obvious, how else would I describe you?"
"Perfect is one word" Koenji replied
"What a f***ing narcissist" I heard Karma mumble
"I don't understand what you're saying so will you excuse me, I have somewhere else to be. I have a hot date right now" he said as he took out a mirror in his bag and started looking at himself in that mirror.
"I don't have time for your games narcissist, tell me now!" Ryuen said
"My, my, l wonder what's going on here?" a girl's voice was heard and as we all looked. It was Sakayanagi and her own entourage from Class A.
"So, this is the queen of Class A herself" Lelouch said
"Class D, Class C, and even Class S are here. This is quite the show" she said
"What do you want Sakayanagi? this isn't your business" Ryuen said
"I know but I just got here by chance and things have gotten interesting it seems."
"I don't have any business with you yet" Ryuen scoffed
"Don't try to act like you run this" a boy with glasses talked.
"Wait that's Togami, looks like he's with Sakayanagi's faction" Karma said
"Listen all you do is cause a ruckus on this campus, ever thought of just keeping quiet and knowing your place?" Togami asked with this air of confidence.
"kukuku, you got yourself a big mouth I see Mr. Rich boy, I'm already aware of who you are. You are an heir and yet you chose to be her dog?" Ryuen said mockingly
"How revolting" Togami said sounding irritated
"Now Togami-kun, we're not here to cause trouble" Sakayanagi said.
"If you're only here to waste my time then don't get in my way" Ryuen said
"I don't mind if you want to take photos of me and all, but I have somewhere else to be." Koenji said as both class leaders and Togami had their argument.
"My bad, let's get straight to the point, do you know who X is?" Ryuen questioned. So, he still hasn't figured it out.
"Hmph, I am well aware that there is a mastermind in Class D, but if you are referring to someone else from another class then you are not getting any answers from me" Koenji replied
"Is that so, but don't lie to me, I know how clever you are, and you know more than I do. Plus, Class S has been secretly working with Class D as far as I know. So, tell me and I'll back off"
"Sorry but I told you, it's useless to get anything from me"
"Alright, fine, if you don't spill in the next 15 seconds then I'll have my accomplices deal with you now" Ryuen said as Ishizaki started cracking his knuckles. This could be bad if a fight breaks out.
"Fighting me, what a moron you are, I could knockdown every single one of you if I wanted to, including you Dragon boy"
"hmm?"
I saw Karma next to me trying to hold his laughter but this time he can't
"hahahahahahaha, Dragon boy, that's a good one, I get it" Karma laughed
"tch! going to let yourselves get involved too, huh Class S?"
"Ohh sorry, sorry, but come on Dragon boy, I get it" Karma said while wiping a fake tear.
"I think I've wasted enough of my time here, but I think I should go now. I don't have time to deal with you insects a little longer" Koenji said as he started to walk.
"Fine, Ishizaki..."
"I told you; I can knock each and every one of you out. Which includes you, green boy" Koenji said as he gazed at Ishizaki as Ishizaki flinched
"Fine, let's settle this some other time. It's obvious that you don't know anything even though you might be able to know the mastermind, but I guess I'll let it slide. For now, that is." Ryuen was now glaring at Koenji
"Good it seems that we've come to an understanding, gentlemen" he said as Class C let him pass.
"Letting go of your prey like that? I thought you would at least let them land one punch on him" Lelouch said in a mocking tone
"May I have a word? I've heard that Dragon Boy has been looking for someone sharp that's not from Class S, right?" she said
"I told you to shut up Sakayanagi. Call me that again and you'll regret it" he said sounding irritated.
I can see Karma trying to hold his laughter and even Lelouch as well.
"Oh, you don't like it? I thought it's a fitting name for you, Dragon boy"
With that Ryuen snapped as he ran towards her and tried to kick her. Immediately both Karma and Suzaku took action as well, but I think Ryuen might be able to hit her before the two of them can reach her.
Suddenly however a student jumped from out of nowhere to take the hit from Ryuen's kick knocking the student down. Must've been another Class A student that came to her aid.
"I'm sorry did I offend you?" Sakayanagi asked
"tch! I told you; you will regret it. I promise you that" Ryuen said
"What are you doing, you know this is a violation right?!" Horikita shouted
"Don't worry, he's fine, he just fell down, right?" Togami said while gazing at the student that got knocked down.
"Of course, Togami-san" the student replied
"Good"
"You people really know how to put on a show" Lelouch said sounding amused
"Well, we'll heading off now, it was nice seeing most of you" she said as she stared at us with that smug smile as she left along with the rest of Class A.
"Seriously, that smile still creeps me out" Karma whispered
"Does it really bother you that much?" I asked
"Ryuen doesn't know yet it seems." Lelouch said
"Yes, but he might try something soon. I just know it" I said
"Like what?" Karma asked

Ryuen POV
In the end, I have yet to find who this mastermind is. I know that Class D is working with Class S, however, even if I allowed my own pawns to check on them like how I did with Class D. They would've figured us out already and would make it difficult for me to find who the masterminds are.
"So, what now? don't tell me you're giving up because of this?" Ibuki asked
"No, I will crush them, and deal with whatever schemes they have. I choose to target Class D because they are the easiest to deal with. Daigo may not involve himself with their plans since he has his own agenda, but the only logical idea is that someone from another class has been pulling the strings since Suzune wouldn't have done any of this unless someone has been giving her instructions." I explained, suddenly I received a message and it's from X. I read it and...it seems that it's my lucky day
Looks like the mastermind has revealed an accomplice that I can get information from.
"Come, we follow me" I said
"What exactly are you planning?" Ibuki asked
"We end the mastermind once and for all"

Rooftop
Ibuki, Ishizaki, Albert and I are waiting at the rooftop for a certain someone. The mastermind told us to wait for this person since the 2nd mastermind told this person to arrive at the rooftop. To think that there are two masterminds at work. It was already difficult to find one mastermind but two. It doesn't matter however since they already gave me information on who is currently working with them. I also vandalized the only camera in this place so that there wouldn't be any witnesses.
The door opened and the accomplice of those masterminds arrived. Karuizawa Kei
"Oi! what's going on here? and what are you doing here Ryuen?" she asked
"You arrived just on time. Good" I said
"Let's get straight to the point since there's no point in letting this go on any further." I added.
"What are you talking about?" she asked.
"Do you understand your situation right now? Ohh don't answer that, it was rhetorical."
Of course, I plan on finding X as soon as I'm done with her.
"Now, let me get straight to the point" I spoke
-

-
"I already know about your past."
"Huh? what do you mean?"
"Is Manabe's antics from earlier that I've heard of enough proof? Or I should say someone already told me about it beforehand." I spoke
"Just what the hell do you want from me?" she asked
"Simple, I want you to tell me everything."
"Tell you what? if you're referring to some crazy rumor about the mastermind then you got the wrong person. Can we hurry this up? it's freezing out here"
"Ishizaki" I ordered as he began grabbing one of the water buckets that was already prepared. Also, without a hitch, I also ordered Ibuki to grab her.
"Hey! let go! listen I have nothing to say to you!"
"Stop trying to lie me, it's useless. I know you're working with someone, so I want you to say what I want you to say, and I'll let you go"
"But I want you to understand something. The school may have its rules, however there are loopholes to these rules. Every level has different rules and I intend on exploiting them" I explained
Ishizaki now has the bucket in his hands.
"Do it" I ordered as Ibuki lets her go as Ishizaki poured the bucket on to the girl. she was already shivering when she arrived, so I decided to have a little fun tormenting her.
"You're pathetic, just tell me and I'll end this quickly" I said
"N-n..nev..er" she said
"You think this is a bit too much?"
"What do you mean Ibuki, if she won't tell us then I'll use whatever method I can to get the information out" I said
"Y...you....won't....get...anything....from....me...."
"Fine be that way, Ishizaki the next ones"
I ordered him once again to drop the buckets on her. She continued to suffer as expected. I will break Karuizawa until I find which one from Class S is working with her.
"I...won't...tell...."
"You really don't get it don't you. You weren't in this situation because of mere coincidence. One of those masterminds has set you up. Am I right?"
"S...s...set up?"

Ayanokouji POV
"Looks like she's gotten my message" Yuuichi said
"Thanks, this means that Ryuen can now do what he needs to do" I said
"Listen Kiyotaka. I know that Karuizawa is your tool and all but are you really going to put her through this?" he asked
"Why? do you have a better idea?" I asked
"I do but it's completely extreme compared to yours" he replied
"Well, it's a good thing you agreed to my plan, who knows what exactly is going on in that sick head of yours"
"hehe, you know me so well" he said as I hung up
"Did you want to meet us Kiyotaka-kun" Kaguya said as her and Karma have arrived.
"So, planning a rescue mission, are we?" Karma asked
"Yes" I replied
"But why include me as well?" Kaguya asked
"Well, someone has to cover for her while I do my business"
"And that would be..."
"To end Ryuen
