Chapter 22: Chapter 21

-Yuu Kaneko's pov 

I angrily said "What do you mean that my brother's class lost that clash? I solely set this up with the intention of him winning then me crushing him" while knocking all the books off of my desk

That bastard is avoiding me just like he always did when we were younger. It's obvious that he is afraid of me. 

"Yuu calm down" said the voice of my vice president Sayuri Jo, an attractive girl around 5'5 with a mature body, waist length light pink hair and a charming demeanor

"You must preserve your image to the public as a calm person, what if someone were to walk in right now and see you in this state?"

I calmly fixed my tie and started to pick up the books I knocked down.

"You're right Sayuri, I should have expected those results. He scrambled the entire year one hierarchy and allowed class 1-3 to sneak into first place. He assisted a damn Muto. I know the leader of class 1-1 is angry right now by this dethronement due to class 1-3 getting the 5 bonus points"

Sayuri turned to me as she braided her long light pink hair

"There are still opportunities to hinder your brother's class if you look at it from another angle"  

I took a deep breath and walked towards the back of the student council's room which had a huge window outlooking the school's parking lot

The year one buses had just arrived and the students were flooding out of it. They looked just like ants to me. People I can easy step on if I truly wanted to

My eyes then shifted to the one person I was looking for, the one person I couldn't step on for some reason because he became a nail. Dante Kaneko my beloved brother, the child that my parents were starting to favor more for some reason.

He is walking by himself which means that he doesn't have too many friends in class. Well my brother doesn't believe in genuine friendships, he only views them as a stepping stone for his other plans. No matter what he says, it always be the truth. That is how we were groomed by our parents.

"Sayuri, can you please fetch my brother"

Sayuri nodded and left the room

I sat down in my seat and awaited his arrival 

A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door and two people entered the room

It was Sayuri and Dante.

Dante observed the room as he walked in

Then with his usual nonchalant tone of voice asked "What do you want?"

I invited him to take a seat which he predictably declined

That annoying brat. I just want to crush him as soon as possible to show my parents that he isn't worthy of being the first heir

I looked at him, his cold dark blue eyes staring back at me. Blue is supposed to be a calming color but when looking into his eyes you felt tense

"I want you to face my class Dante, your pawns vs mine. Think of it as a game of chess"

Dante passed his middle and index finger along the student council desk which was a large round table and then inspected them as if he was looking for dust

He then answered while rubbing his index, middle and thumb finger together in an attempt to clean them from the apparent dust he found

"I will have to decline your generous offer you know I dislike chess. I prefer a game of shogi but if I am feeling rather reckless a nice game of battleship will do"

Sayuri looked on at our first interaction since he started this school

I can tell Dante wasn't what she expected, he was way worst. That cold and manipulative side of him is what she is witnessing right now

Dante placed his hands into his pants pockets and turned his head towards her finally acknowledging her presence in the room

"Your vice president is an attractive young woman, if I had the choice I would probably try to date her"

Sayuri cheeks began to redden a bit and she looked at him in confusion

Slamming my hand on the desk now and slightly raising my voice

"Why won't you be a man and face me?"

Dante looked down on me because of my seated position,  something he has been doing since he was younger from my perspective

He then coldly said "There is no point of doing it, rule the school from your desk job and let me experience my school life in peace"

With that final statement he left the room and closed the door behind him

"Your brother is different from you"

I cracked my fingers with one hand and replied to Sayuri 

"He has always been like that, since we adopted him. He hasn't changed, that laid back mask he hides behind, I'll tear it off and expose his true nature to the public then we will see what peaceful school life he can actually achieve"

"How do you plan on doing that when we can't get directly involved?"

I tossed a letter of recommendation with the Kaneko family stamp on it towards her 

She picked it up and read it. Her calm facial expression became surprised 

"This a letter of recommendation asking for the admission of a student named Arata Sato"

I reclined in my seat and looked up at the ceiling of the room

"Please hand deliver it to Mr Akira and ensure that he makes the proper preparations for our soon to be guest"

After closing my eyes, the last thing I can hear was the opening and closing of the door as Sayuri left the room
