Chapter 23: Chapter 22

Ah today actually feels like it is going to be an amazing day.

I woke up on the right side of the bed, I got the right amount of sleep and I woke with the sun's gentle rays.

It felt like a scene from out of those light hearted movies.

With the class clash behind me now, I can have a normal school experience or so I hope

I did a little cha cha dance while changing into my school uniform and was out the door

Exiting the elevator I saw Sena standing next to the building's door speaking to another person.

A male wasn't in school uniform, he was probably hitting on her.

I walked passed them and made my way to class. It was still early to me, classes start at 8:00am and it was only 7:58am.

Prime time to make it to class within the 10 minute grace period Miss Aiko usually afforded us  

I was almost to my classroom when something caught my eye

It was Genji and two other male students from class 1-1

They seemed like they were having a confrontation

Genji said "I'm not the one who has the apologize here"

One of the males said "You need to watch where you're going. You clearly have had an issue with us since the last class clash. Are you just mad that your class is dead last once again"

The other male student snickered at that statement

Genji was about to grab the shirt of the student when a female student named Asuka Itou broke it up.

"Can't you guys see that cameras are there?"

Genji who was still angry walked off without saying anything to her

The other two male students left as well.

Asuka noticed me watching and said "So that guy from your class, you were going to let him fight?"

I walked closer to her and said "What would be the point of stopping it?"

Looking closer at her, Asuka Itou is very attractive with her long silver hair and green eyes. Added in with a height of roughly 5'2 and a slender body. I think I may have a genuine crush or it could just be lust most likely the second option.

She flashed a cute smile and said "I see why they call class 1-4 the wastelands now"

I looked down at her and said "Do enlighten me on which class you belong to"

Asuka replied "Class 1-3" and adjusted her side bag which was on the left side of her body

I turned towards my classroom door  and said "I guess I will be seeing you around"

Asuka shook her head, "You should care more about your classmates because if they fought each other and had been caught by a teacher or on camera they possibly could have been suspended and that would result in a penalty for each class"

I replied "Oh I see" then stepped into the classroom 

Walking into the classroom, I looked over to Genji who was still fuming.

"I swear when I see those people I'll punch their heads off"

Yuudai Hoga who was another background student in our class tried to calm him

"Genji just chill. It's over now"

Genji knocked a chair over and said "I am still pissed off that we lost again and now we have other classes rubbing it in our face"

Miss Aiko walked in shortly after

"Pick that up Mr Hisoka"

Genji grumpily picked up the chair and sat on it

I took my seat and started to tap my pen on the desk

Minori side eyed me and didn't say anything

I said "Am I disturbing you?" 

She kept quiet and faced her eyes front again

I could say that Minori was still upset about the last clash.

Miss Aiko turned on the class's small flat screen tv and the current standings of the year one classes were being displayed

Class 1-3: 35 points (1st)

Class 1-1: 35 points (2nd)

Class 1-2: 15 points (3rd)

Class 1-4: 5 points   (4th)

Hmm class 1-1 and class 1-3 are tied but since class 1-3 got the most recent win, they got elevated to 1st

"So class look at those rankings and look at it closely. You're not only last but you failed to get any points from that last clash. You should be ashamed of yourself"

Genji said "You don't know what you're saying lady, that last clash was impossible to win unless you had luck on your side"

Miss Aiko walked towards his desk and said "So class 1-4 must be the unluckiest class in the entire school then"

"Look all I am just saying is that you should cut us some slack"

Yogi now standing, "Genji just drop it. Miss Aiko is only being hard on us because she cares"

Miss Aiko turned her attention to Yogi and said "You have it wrong, I'll start to care when you win. This class is following the footsteps of the past -4 classes, they have never once won the three year war and with two losses in a row it's not looking too pretty"

Yogi stepped out of his seat and stood in front of the class.

He said "As class leader, I take full responsibility for this loss but we should be more unified in order to take the top spot. From what I see we had none of that. Everybody was out doing their own thing. That contributed to our loss as well"

Kai added in "Yeah if we just work together, the next clash will be ours"

Minori side eyed him and then gripped her pencil so hard that it snapped

It must be frustrating knowing the somebody is a traitor and not being able to expose them without causing more rifts in class. After all it is as Yogi said unity will be needed but he won't be the one to unite the class fully.

I then said out loud "It is all good that you are taking responsibility Yogi but Minori was the one pulling all of the weight back then. You peed the bed when the time came to act"

Minori turned to me confused on what I was doing

Everybody started to look at each other as if I just cursed him out.

Genji said to me from across the classroom, "Dante chill out"

I continued "When class 1-2 tried to sneak attack us, Minori is the one who countered the attack while Yogi was panicking"

Yogi stared at me as if I was reading off his sins

Genji stepped again in defense of Yogi, "It was his first clash as leader so cut him some slack"

Sena sighed and said "Stop the bickering and just make Minori class leader then"

The class was quiet

I stood up from my seat, "Minori's personality isn't leadership worthy so that's a bad idea and I was not implying anything. I was just saying what everybody else was thinking so we could avoid any issues in the future. Now with that being sad, Yogi shouldn't be written off as yet. He is trying his hardest and I am sure if you were in the same position  then you would want the same thing as well.

The class seemed to understand where I was coming from

Miss Aiko stepped in the conversation, "If anybody else who is not Genji raises their hand right now, I will transfer the leadership position over to them"

Nobody raised their hands because nobody else wanted this responsibility

"So it's decided, Yogi Takanawa will remain as leader"

 After class now, Yogi approached me

"I wasn't expecting you to defend me like that"

I smiled at him, "Everybody deserves a second chance to redeem themselves"

The truth is Yogi that I need you to keep sinking this ship with your weak leadership until I see fit to personally hand the reins over to Minori but that will be no time soon, she has the leadership potential but is still defective to my annoyance. I will have to strip her down and build her back up in a image I see fit. Last time it was a physical outburst in the forest but this time I want to see your tears Minori
