Chapter 25: Chapter 24

-Yusuf Machi pov (class 1-1's leader)

I sat in class and reading a book when the class door opened. 

Shiro Iseri and Satoshi Iseri both walked in. Just the two brothers I wanted to see. They had been called to the principal office in for almost engaging a in physical altercation with a member of class 1-4.

Our class instructor Miss Kei Uusi walked in as well. She has been very supportive of us, since we came into school and see was equally pleased at the progress we had made so far in the clashes

She took to the front of the class to address us

"The situation has been resolved and the verdict had been handed down in our favor. The penalty for class 1-4 would be giving up half of their next acquired points"

The class was excited by that revelation. We could once again regain first rank and widen our lead from the other three classes.

Class 1-3 crept up on us in a surprising manner. I wasn't expecting them to gain the extra five bonus points in order to tie with us.

The rest of class was smooth with nothing too major occurring.

I approached Asai Amaya and said "Good call on keeping tabs on two three and calling the school authorities when the fight looked in class 1-4's favor"

Asai reclined his seat, "You should thank Miss Uusi for influencing the principal to choose our side. It was basically three words against one in that office. So he had no choice but to side with us"

"Something about class 1-4 seems off, I feel as if somebody purposely sabotaged the entire class in order to flip everything upside down and that also means that he/she collaborated with class 1-3 to make it happen. Even class 1-2 was affected by this but it feels more like they caught a warning bullet instead of a stray one"

Asai sighed, "You really think there's somebody that exceptional in class 1-4, from what I observed that class is filled with average joes who gave up after their first loss"

"You maybe right"

I then retook my seat

Class 1-4 wasn't a threat to me but I still had to take advantage of their weakness and now that is done. I should push class 1-4 to win in the next class clash and take second place again. We will get 25 points from it in total and that will clear the rest of the classes.

---Dante Kaneko's pov

I exited the principal's office with Minori after our meeting with Mr Akira. It was rather fruitful even though the harvest felt small

Minori said to me, "Still can't believe you convinced Mr. Akira to give us a fighting chance"

I replied, "He gave us until 7pm to come up with definitive proof that Genji was the one being picked on and not the other way around"

"That isn't a lot of time, if we're being honest here"

"Yeah that is correct but when we go back to class don't tell anybody about what transpired in there along with the end of the day time limit"

I don't want to raise the class's hope on this matter only for them to be let down. 

Walking back to class now, I saw Asuka heading out of her class in the direction of the school food court.

I told Minori to head back to class then lightly jogged towards Asuka.

She noticed me, "So I am guessing that the class got it's penalty?"

I replied, "Yeah we have to forfeit half of our next acquired points to class 1-1"

"Oh that sounds bad"

"You don't say?"

We were in the food court after,  5 mins of walking

She looked around and decided on what to eat.

I grabbed her by the shoulder, "I'll pay for your lunch if you do something important for me"

Asuka looked at me, "Depends on the some thing"

I explained to her the situation and she pointed to a restaurant 

"Get me something from there and I will consider it"

We both stood in line and she ordered her meal. Sitting at the table now she dug into her meal of fried rice, stir fried vegetables and chicken

Observing her now, I said "You know for a small girl you ordered an extra large portion, where is all that food going?"

Asuka pointed her spoon at me, "Don't you know that it rude to judge a lady's meal size"

I pulled my phone out then starting going through my contacts.

"We will label it one of the seven wonders of the institute and put the topic on a shelf"

Asuka's spoon knocked against the plate, "So I have one more stipulation to add in"

I sighed, "Adding in additional terms on a deal is shady business practice you know that but let me hear it"

Asuka shoveled more food into her mouth, "I'll let you know when all of this is over with"

"So you expect me to agree to something like that?"

Asuka leaned in and pointed her spoon with rice on it closely to my face, "You're the one asking for help here, it's only fair that I get maximize my gain on it"

I paused for a second, leaned in quickly and put her spoon filled with rice in my mouth and then sat back then

The entire motion felt like a shark finally catching that one fish it has been circling for the past few minutes

Asuka had a look of shock on her face as she looked at the empty spoon

I then got up, "Yeah you're right so I'll leave you to enjoy the rest of your meal now"

As I was leaving. Asuka said "That was rude you know"

I made it back to class, as I entered the room. Miss Aiko said "Welcome back King of the school. I am sure that's your official position from the way you left my class and didn't come back until you felt like it"

I replied, "Yeah my bad"

"Since you're here, come up to the board and solve this equation. If you get it correct then you may get a prize"

Eh? What is this? A game show or something?

I approached the board with Miss Aiko standing next to me

The question was find the value of x in the equation of 3x + 5 = 11

An easy enough question with the answer obviously it is X= 2 but hey I am not complaining

In a low voice I said to Miss Aiko, "I need you overlook something later"

Miss Aiko replied "Our deal is coming in handy now I see"

I replied, "For the while"

I waited 40 seconds before answering the question because I didn't want to seem too smart in case people started to ask me for help with their homework or something. Then again I could probably make them pay for it inclusive of tax. Ok fine, charging your classmates for assistance is scummy but it's good extra income scummy. I should probably stop thinking about this, my inner business man is starting to wake up now.

After writing the answer on the board, I headed back to my seat.

Only a few hours left until 7pm and final judgement
