Third POV:
Currently on the school rooftop we can see our favourite milf Sae Chabashira standing while keeping her cigarette lit.
Behind her is Horikita Suzune, our 2nd favourite bitch who had just arrived after being called by her home room teacher.
"Why did you call me out here?" Horikita asked, wanting to get straight to the point.
"I'll get straight to the point. How did you do it?" Sae questions.
"How did I do what?" Horikita responds, playing dumb even though it's futile.
"Don't play dumb. Those boys wouldn't just withdraw their complaint about no reason."
"I'll leave that to your imagination."
"I'll change the question, then. Who thought up the plan to get Class C to back off?"
"Why does that matter to you?"
"If you're interested in reaching Class A, let me give you one piece of advice. Try to understand as much about Ayanokōji and Miura as you can now, while you can. If you don't, you might be too late. Especially Miura."

Outside the school in the rain could be seen Arisu Sakayanagi and her gang walking. They noticed the C-Class Student, causing her gang to step forward to defend her in case of any altercation. The same could be said for Ryuen's group.
"Sakayanagi?" Ryuen questioned, wanted to confirm if it's her.
"You're from Class C, aren't you?" Arisu responds.
"Playing queen of the school already? Aren't you something?" Ryuen mocks.
Arisu smiles in response before speaking. "That was hardly my intent."
"I'm gonna crush Class D. Then B. And in the end, Class A ... I'll crush you, too." As Ryuen says this footsteps could be heard coming from the side gathering everyone's attention.
"Oh really!~ You think you could crush us this easily, dragon boy~" The mysterious voice teases.
Out of the darkness come a beautiful young lady, with milky-white skin and silky smooth blonde hair, wearing an ANHS uniform and holding an umbrella.
"And who the hell are you?" Ryuen asks with a frown at the nickname given to him, while Arisu looks at her like she's seen her somewhere.
"Miura Yumiko, a pleasure to meet the leaders of Class C and A. I can't wait to see how you two entertain me."
The now revealed girl, Miura states with a smirk full of bloodlust causing the bodyguards around the leaders to tense up, however Ryuen and Arisu stay neutral, but both are grinning and have a cold smile on their face.

Horikita POV:
"Why do you care?" I questioned her.
"They'd both not here, so I'm a little curious." She responded.
Chabashira-sensei had been rather preoccupied with Ayanokouji-kun and Miura-san ever since we started school. I could somewhat understand why, now.
"I don't want to admit this, but Ayanokouji-kun... and even Miura-san... might have something exceptional to them."
I surprised myself by saying this, which could be taken as an admission of defeat. However, our victory would not have been as decisive without them.
"I see. So you recognize that, hmm?"
"Is that surprising? You were the one who first put me together with the both of them, Chabashira-sensei. You did it because you couldn't overlook their potential, right?"
"Their potential, hmm?"
"Though Ayanokouji-kun does try to hide his ability by pretending to be an idiot, for some mysterious reason, and Miura-san is the type to only seek entertainment but her decisions are always random, one could never understand what she's after."
Yes, while Ayanokouji-kun was truly incomprehensible, Miura-san could be seen as brash and is after something that everyone else is incapable of understanding. I could not find any meaning to such behavior. It was likely that they were simply being absurd.
"There are various things to consider. But if you want to reach Class A, I'll give you one bit of advice." She says, making me wonder what she has to say.
"Advice?"
"The students in Class D all have some kind of defect, more or less. To borrow an expression used by others in this school, Class D is an assemblage of people that could be called 'defective products.' You already understand this quite well though, don't you?"
"I don't intend to admit that I have a defect. But I do understand."
"Well, what do you think is Ayanokouji's and Miura's defect?"
Both their defects... One thing immediately came to mind.
"We've already established it. They already know what their own defect is."
"Oh? And what is it?"
"Ayanokouki 'dislikes trouble,' while Miura 'acts only when she wants to.'" I had answered, with confidence. However, I felt a strange sense of discomfort that I couldn't explain.
"Hmm? Is that what you perceive when you look at them?"
"No... It's because they said it themselves." In response, Chabashira-sensei snorted and chuckled.
She spoke again, her tone firm. "Well, Horikita. Let's try to learn as much as we possibly can about the boy called Ayanokouji and girl named Miura, without delay, shall we? Otherwise, it'll be too late. You already seem to have fallen into Ayanokouji's trap."
"What do you mean?" Fallen into his trap? That was nonsense.
"Why do you think Ayanokouji purposefully got scores of 50 points across on the board on his entrance examination? Why do you think Ayanokouji is helping you? Why do you think that Ayanokouji doesn't put himself forward as a superior student, despite having superior ability? Is Ayanokouji Kiyotaka really someone who 'dislikes trouble'?" She explained.
"That's..." I remained silent and thought.
If he truly wanted to prioritize peace and tranquility, then why score 50 points in all subjects and allow himself to draw this much attention? Had he deliberately poked his nose into this incident as well? I wondered if he ought to have been carefully monitored, like many other students. As Chabashira- sensei said, his behavior didn't fit the pattern of someone who "disliked trouble." Why keep someone like Miura around, when all she does is bring trouble. That unconscious realization must have been the cause of my earlier discomfort.
"Then there's Miura." Chabashira-Sensei continued. I gave her a look telling her to continue.
"What can you tell me about Miura? She shows she's capable, but it's clear she's still hiding a considerable amount. Why did she score 55 marks on all her entrance exams? It was as if she predicted that day in the staff room, where I confronted her. Why is she so blunt in what she does or shows and isn't trying to hide like Ayanokouji? Why did she talk about her family and their power and influence as if they're nothing to her? We're all thinking what is she after? But what if it's not something? What if it's..."
Someone! Only one person came to mind that she could be after, Ayanokouji-kun. But why him? Is it because of what he's hiding? Or does she know more than everyone else? Ever since school started, Miura-san had been tied to the hip with him, like she already knew what he was capable of? The way she spoke about her family... it was as if they were mere stepping stones to her. But... she can't be just after Ayanokouji-kun himself. What does he have that he can give her?
As I was in deep thought, Chabashira-Sensei continued speaking. "In my personal opinion, Ayanokouji and Miura are the most defective students in Class D."
"They're the most defective?"
"Higher functioning products are more difficult to handle. If you misunderstand how to handle them, the class might be completely destroyed in short order."
"Chabashira-sensei, do you really understand what about them can be considered defective?"
"Get to know the people called Miura and Ayanokouji. What are they thinking? What focal point do they base their actions around? What are their fatal flaws? There's definitely an answer there."

Third POV:
"To think I would be meeting the infamous Miura Yumiko of the Miura family. I'm happy to be face to face with another natural born genius, Fufufu."
"What are you trying to imply?"
It was obvious to Miura that Arisu was talking about Ayanokouji, but Miura was never told about the WR and never taken there. So her response had to be her playing dumb as she was never to supposed to know about him in this life. And that Arisu thinks Ayanokouji isn't in the school right now.
"Fufu, nothing. Nothing at all. But I've heard of your great accomplishments, and I can't wait play with you as well."
"We'll see how you do with your crippled ass." Miura says with a smirk causing Arisu's smile to become even colder.
They're gazes then turn to the person laughing at Miura's words. "Kukuku! Now aren't you a merciless bitch. Don't worry because I won't make it easy for you as well. I'm coming after your class and they're won't be anything left of it. Kukuku!"
"But that's where your mistaken, dragon boy." Ryuen is snapped out of his laughing when he looks back at Miura with a confused look.
"Huh?"
"I'm not here on behalf of my class, go ahead destroy it. I'm here because I want entertainment and make you lot suffer. So by all means, go ahead." Miura states with an innocent smile, while Ryuen looks at her with narrowed eyes.
"She's kidding right?" Masumi Kamuro, one of Arisu's bodyguard asks Arisu if she's telling the truth.
"Oh Masumi, this isn't even the half of it." Arisu responds.
"What are you playing at?" Ryuen asks suspiciously.
"Oh you'll see." Miura puts her finger on her cheek with a smile that slowly turns into a smirk as she talks and tilts her head. "But for now I came to tell you that when we play, I won't be showing any mercy.
.
.
.
Even if it means killing you."
As she speaks, her eyes start glowing a little in the rain and darkness and what could be described as darkness is leaking out of her eyes. But it's not that. It's something more, like it's looking at an infinite void. Immediately everyone took a step back, while the green haired boy from Class C, his knees started wobbling like he was going to faint.
Taking that as a sign, Miura stopped and looked at everyone with her eyes closed and giving everyone a sweet innocent smile.
"That's all. But I have to be going now! Sayonara Minna!~"
She giggled as she starts walking backwards from the way she came and could hear someone mutter crazy bitch. This made her grip her umbrella tighter and start grinning murderously.
She meant what she said, she'd do everything to protect herself and her lovers place in this school.
