Chapter 17 - Chapter 17: In the end, it still didn't work.

Seeing the argument getting worse, Hirata quickly spoke up to stop it.

"Everyone, please stop arguing! Please be quiet!"

With Hirata's loud stop, his supporters calmed down first, and then Sudou's side also stopped.

Seeing this scene, which was more difficult than expected, Hirata smiled bitterly in his heart.

"Sorry, it's my fault. I forced everyone."

To avoid escalating the conflict, Hirata chose to apologize himself.

Seeing Hirata back down, Ike Kanji and his group immediately showed smug expressions, as if they were the righteous ones.

On the contrary, Hirata's supporters felt even more sorry for him. It wasn't Hirata's fault! Hirata is so kind!

"What a boring farce."

A disdainful voice came from behind Kanda, but it wasn't loud.

Hearing this, Kanda instinctively looked back. A beautiful girl with long black hair was reading a book, but it was obviously not a textbook.

Horikita Suzune, that seemed to be her name?

Alright, I'll remember you.

Kanda Shuichi's action of looking back didn't make Horikita Suzune react. It seemed she was used to people looking at her differently.

However, she didn't care. She had always walked this path, not needing or caring about others' opinions.

As the commotion settled, it was soon time for the official class to start. But since today was the first day of school, the teachers only talked about the future teaching plans and didn't rush into teaching any knowledge.

Just like that, the morning passed quickly, and the students spent the first half of the day in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

How could they not be relaxed?

During class, whether it was whispering, playing on phones, reading comics, or even sleeping, the teachers didn't care. It seemed like they were only responsible for imparting knowledge.

This kind of classroom environment made the idle Kanda Shuichi want to sleep too.

But this relaxed environment confirmed Kanda's suspicion even more. Maybe only the top classes could get that 100% graduation and employment rate.

Because he really couldn't understand what qualifications these guys had to enjoy such privileges.

Because they were lucky enough to be admitted to this school?

What a joke, if that were useful, the world would have been in chaos long ago.

Absolutely not because of fear of ghosts! Absolutely not!

So, in this relaxed atmosphere, it was lunchtime. Considering that it was just after class and there would be a lot of people, Kanda Shuichi didn't plan to go to the cafeteria immediately.

Miyake Akito, however, packed up his desk first and then turned to face Kanda.

"Kanda, you're not planning to drag me to eat that free mountain vegetable set meal again today, are you?"

"Once is enough for that stuff. If you like it, I can watch you eat." Kanda Shuichi smiled, "Today I want to eat something nutritious."

Miyake agreed, "Indeed, your body does need a good meal."

While they were talking, many classmates had already gotten up and left. In just over a minute, more than half of the class had left.

"Uh—I'm going to the student cafeteria next. Anyone want to join?"

Hirata, who had been sitting in the front, stood up and said this to the remaining people in the class, but his eyes were indeed looking towards Kanda.

When Miyake was about to raise his hand to invite Hirata, a group of girls immediately surrounded him.

"Me, me, me!"

"I want to go too!"

Seeing the gathered girls, Hirata was a bit speechless. This wasn't what he wanted.

So he looked at Kanda and Miyake for help.

However, these two didn't pay attention to him and continued chatting.

Are you kidding! Who wants to offend those crazy girls? You'll be killed by their looks!

And Kanda's movement wasn't very convenient. Going with those guys would definitely be annoying, and he might be abandoned halfway.

Just when Hirata was unwilling to give up and wanted to invite other boys, a girl with a gyaru style grabbed Hirata's arm and took him away.

"Let's go, Hirata."

Watching Hirata being taken away, Kanda Shuichi shook his head and teased, "Being too popular is also a trouble."

"Looks like the busy Hirata can't have lunch with us."

Then, the two of them smiled knowingly.

They stood up, ready to eat. After all, lunchtime was limited, and Kanda Shuichi wanted to take a nap.

"How pathetic."

As soon as they stood up, they heard Horikita Suzune's mocking voice from the side.

Kanda Shuichi turned his head and saw Ayanokouji Kiyotaka left alone. It seemed Horikita Suzune was mocking Ayanokouji.

Oh, maybe Hirata was not only looking at me and Miyake but also at Ayanokouji?

But clearly, Ayanokouji was left alone and mocked by his desk mate.

Great, the chance for revenge came so quickly!

So, Kanda Shuichi didn't hesitate to speak to Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, "Ayanokouji, if you don't mind, let's have lunch together."

"Of course!"

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka blurted out and glanced at Horikita Suzune.

Now the awkwardness shifted to Horikita Suzune, as Kanda Shuichi predicted.

However, Horikita Suzune just stood up, looked at Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, and left the classroom with a "That's great."

So, the three of them went to the student cafeteria together.

When they arrived at the cafeteria, there weren't many people in line because Kanda Shuichi's pace was slower than usual, and the other two slowed down to match his speed.

"I want to have the grilled beef set meal. What about you guys?"

Kanda said this and looked at Ayanokouji and Miyake.

"Huh? That thing is expensive, right?"

"But it's very nutritious."

"Indeed, but I bought archery equipment yesterday, so I need to save some points. I'll go to the window next door for fish. What about you, Ayanokouji?"

Seeing Miyake turn his head, Ayanokouji hesitated, "I'll try the grilled beef too."

The food was made to order, so they had to wait a bit to get their meals.

Watching Kanda Shuichi in line, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka thought that blending into school life like this seemed nice. But Kanda only had 10,000 points left and was eating such an expensive grilled beef meal. Was it really okay?

At this moment, Kanda Shuichi didn't realize that Ayanokouji had seen his balance.

But he did notice that when paying, his private points automatically showed up on his phone. This wasn't a good sign. It was easy to explain when the balance was 10,000, but by evening, it would become a staggering 20 million. If someone saw that, it wouldn't be good.

However, he noticed that the previous student didn't show their balance when paying, so it could be hidden. He just didn't know how to set it up and would figure it out later.
