[A/N: Nevermind, I had time so I wrote another chapter ⊙﹏⊙∥. However, there still might be days where I only upload one chapter so yeah.. Anyway, happy reading!]
'Why am I here again...'
Yuto sat in a familiar U-shaped table.
_____________________________________
Flashback.
Yuto just entered his class after walking with Ichinose and got weird looks from all his classmates. Few girls looked at him in the verge of tears! Yuto, confused, sat down at his seat and saw Horikita and Ayanokoji also staring at him weirdly. Horikita also looked a bit dissappointed.
"Hey, can you guys explain why everyone is staring at me like that?" Yuto asked, seeking clarification.
Before Horikita could respond, Ike suddenly pounced onto Yuto with an accusing tone. "Kazu-chan! You traitor! How could you start dating without us?!"
Yuto's eyes widened in disbelief. "What?!" he exclaimed, utterly baffled by Ike's accusation.
Ayanokoji calmly interjected, "We all heard that you are dating Ichinose-san."
Yuto's jaw dropped in shock. "WHAT!? NO! NO! Those are rumors! I am single, and my dating life is only destined for one woman!" he protested vehemently, his voice laced with frustration and disbelief. Horikita felt a sense of relief wash over her for some reason, though she couldn't quite pinpoint why.
Before Ike could respond, Sudo burst into the room, his eyes filled with tears as he sprinted towards Yuto.
"Yuto! I'm sorry!" Sudo yelled, his voice trembling with emotion.
Yuto sighed, resigned to the fact that Sudo had likely gotten himself into trouble once again. "What happened?" he asked, bracing himself for whatever chaos awaited him.
"Those guys from yesterday! After you left. They immeditly came back and started beating me up, I also fought them with self defense but I got a bad feeling." Yuto sighed. He even warned Sudo but in his situation. He couldn't do anything. As it turns out, Sudo's premonition cam true as Sae walked in to the class and explained Sudo that those three filed a complaint against him and he, once again is in a risk of expulsion.
Sudo groaned. Yuto turned to Ayanokoji and Horikita and asked, "You both saw it, didn't you?" they both nodded as Sudo looked confused, "What, you saw what?" Yuto sighed and said, "When Kushida asked our classmates for help, everyone looked at her, expect one. Sakura Airi."
Kushida approached the group, still avoiding eye contact with Yuto after their encounter the previous day, she attempted to rally the group with her usual cheerful demeanor. "That's great! Now we just need to ask her to testify!" she exclaimed, her optimism shining through.
---{This is all just a summary of what happen with Sakura and all, skip if you want. It was pretty boring for me to write so forgive me if there are not many diagolues or interactions.}---
Everyone nodded in agreement, and a few minutes later, they approached Sakura, who appeared startled to see them. Despite Kushida's efforts to convince her, Sakura remained hesitant, and in the midst of their conversation, she stumbled and broke her camera. Yuto couldn't help but note the increasing frequency of such accidents lately, though he kept his thoughts to himself as he offered a hand to help Sakura up.
However, Sakura refused his assistance, opting to run away instead. Yuto observed her reaction with a thoughtful expression. "She is afraid of unfamiliar physical contact," he concluded silently, confirming his theory.
The next day, Sakura approached Yuto, Ayanokoji, and Kushida, asking them to accompany her to the electronics store to fix her broken camera. She explained that the employee at the store gave off creepy vibes, and she felt more comfortable with company. Yuto nodded in understanding, agreeing to go along.
As they arrived at the store, Yuto couldn't help but notice the employee's suspicious behavior as he attempted to get Sakura's number while discussing the warranty for her camera. Ayanokoji smoothly intervened, offering his own contact information instead, causing Sakura to blush slightly in response.
After the camera was fixed, Sakura expressed her gratitude to Yuto and Ayanokoji for accompanying her and for Ayanokoji's quick thinking. Feeling emboldened by their support, she agreed to help Sudo after Yuto and Ayanokoji delivered a 'persuasive' or one might say, brainwashing speech to her.
------------End of Sakura arc----------
"Kazuki-kun, I want you to accompany me with Ayanokoji to the student council room," Horikita demanded, her tone firm and authoritative.
"EHH?" Yuto exclaimed in dismay. The prospect of attending yet another meeting held no appeal for him, especially since this time there would be no private points to gain. Despite his reluctance, he couldn't help but giggle at the situation, knowing exactly where Horikita's request was leading.
Sighing inwardly, Horikita knew she had no choice but to play along with Yuto's antics. "What do you want me to do?" she asked, steeling herself for whatever absurd demand he would make.
"Call me by my first name from now on, since it's weird to be the only one to use a given name between the two of us," Yuto declared with a mischievous glint in his eye.
Horikita nodded in resignation, realizing that there was no way to avoid complying with Yuto's request. "Alright, Y-Yuto.."
Yuto maintained a neutral expression at first, but soon his face began to contort with embarrassment as he started bleeding from his nose, his cheeks turning a bright shade of pink. "Kiyo-chan, can I have a napkin?" he requested innocently, holding out his hand.
Horikita's irritation flared at Yuto's antics. "Disgusting pervert!" she muttered through gritted teeth, unable to conceal her frustration.

Present.
Yuto let out a heavy sigh as he observed the scene before him. In front of him, the three guys he had seen yesterday were seated, each one bearing visible signs of having been brutally beaten. Beside them stood the teacher he had encountered on his second day at school, next to Sae. "Looks like Ryuuen-san really beat them up to make it look appealing," Yuto remarked quietly to himself, noting the calculated brutality of the situation.
Beside Yuto stood Horikita and Sudo, their expressions reflecting a mixture of concern and apprehension. On the other side of Horikita sat Ayanokoji, with Sae sitting next to him, a smirk playing on her lips. "This will be interesting," she thought, anticipation evident in her demeanor.
At the center of attention stood Manabu and a purple-haired girl seated next to him, who introduced herself as Tachibana. The atmosphere was tense, and Yuto couldn't help but wonder what would unfold in the upcoming discussion.
Horikita was scared due to her brother complex and couldn't completely focus on the task at hand. Yuto looked ever so calm while Sudo was calm aswell. 'He really matured alot after punching me..' Yuto smirked
That's when Manabu said the word, "Begin."
