As for Kanda Shuichi, even though he had thrown the pencil case at Yamauchi Haruki without hesitation, he wasn't actually angry at all. In fact, he was holding back a laugh.
Darn it! I can't laugh; I need to hold it in!
Yamauchi Haruki's actions had shocked Kanda Shuichi, but the outcome was exactly what he wanted, so he really needed to thank Yamauchi.
Humans often choose a new enemy to unite against, even if that person is fictional; this has been the case throughout history.
For example, when overthrowing an old dynasty, various rebel leaders might want to kill each other, but they will temporarily unite to take down a common enemy.
Now, Yamauchi Haruki, in front of the still-divided students of Class D, had voluntarily taken on the role of the enemy for everyone.
No, it's not just acting; he had become the class's enemy.
So for most of Class D right now, if you hate Yamauchi Haruki, we are like brothers from different parents!
How could Kanda Shuichi not laugh at this outcome? He had originally been thinking about how to unite Class D further, and now someone had just blown up and helped him solve that problem.
So, if it weren't for the timing, he would have wanted to award Yamauchi Haruki a banner right to his face! You can come up with your own name for it!
After that, as soon as the class's unity reached its peak, they could get rid of this Yamauchi guy, and then Class D would become incredibly united.
But before that, they needed to keep a close eye on Yamauchi Haruki, making sure he didn't cause too much trouble for Class D, especially not letting Sakayanagi find out. If that happened, it would definitely lead to trouble.
So, for now, this guy can't be expelled as the enemy of the whole class, which is why someone needs to save him.
Ayanokouji, it's your turn! Let's stick to our plan!
"Enough!"
Chabashira Sae finally remembered she was still the homeroom teacher.
"Sorry, I couldn't help myself."
Kanda Shuichi quickly admitted fault and casually sat back down.
But his action only fueled Yamauchi again. Since he was going down anyway, he might as well drag Kanda down with him.
"Sensei! He just tried to kill me! He should be expelled!"
However, Kanda Shuichi didn't even want to respond to him. He quietly took out the textbook for the first class.
Most of the class, especially the girls, looked at Kanda Shuichi with sympathy, expressing their anger towards Yamauchi.
"You're exaggerating, Yamauchi. Even if that hit had landed, with Kanda Shuichi's strength, he couldn't have killed you. Don't worry."
Seriously, even while mocking Yamauchi, I have to take a hit myself? Damn Chabashira-sensei, I'll get my revenge one day!
Then Chabashira-sensei changed her tone, "But it's indeed very rude to make a move in front of me. Kanda, you're suspended for a week. Do you have any objections?"
"No!"
Upon hearing this, Kanda Shuichi immediately put the Japanese textbook he had just taken out back in his bag and stood up, ready to leave.
A week off?
I really appreciate it. Although Horikita is the main force in the study group these days, Kanda Shuichi is still a bit tired, so taking a good rest isn't a bad idea.
And being suspended for a week only means he can't go to school; it doesn't mean he can't hang out elsewhere. He has plenty of money and is good at studying, so he can afford some leisure time.
Before leaving, Kanda Shuichi took a moment to glance at Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, who was sitting at his desk.
After Kanda Shuichi left, Chabashira Sae smiled.
"In any case, Yamauchi Haruki scored one point below passing in English, so you will be expelled for that. If you all understand, then this class meeting is over."
After Chabashira-sensei left, Ayanokouji immediately stood up, took a paper that he had left on Kanda Shuichi's desk, and followed out the back door, also calling the dazed Yamauchi Haruki along.
Kanda Shuichi returned to the dorm, casually tossed his backpack on the floor, changed into his regular clothes, and then ran to the Keyaki Mall Shopping Center.
Finally getting a long break, he wanted to treat himself well.
After buying fresh meat and vegetables, Kanda Shuichi also picked up some seasonings and oil. Just as he was about to pay, he saw a message from Miyake.
[I don't know what Ayanokouji and Horikita told Chabashira-sensei, but that idiot Yamauchi's expulsion has been canceled!]
From his words, it was clear how angry Miyake was.
[Oh, that's great! Looks like Ayanokouji followed the plan.]
[Huh? What do you mean by that?]
[It's a bit complicated to explain. Come find me after school, and I'll tell you the details.]
Besides Miyake, Hirata also sent a caring message, even apologizing for that fool Yamauchi, hoping Kanda wouldn't be upset.
Oh, how could I be angry about this? Hirata, you're overthinking it.
Putting away the chat app, Kanda Shuichi opened his student ID and looked at the 20 million private points on it, feeling a sense of relief.
In the afternoon, while Kanda Shuichi was preparing the ingredients in his room, there was a loud knocking at the door, along with Miyake's voice.
Looking at the time, it was 15:34.
Wow, Miyake must have rushed over right after school.
He put down the knife and washed his hands before opening the door for Miyake Akito.
To his surprise, there was another guest: Kushida Kikyo.
"Oh? Kushida is here too? Come in! I'm preparing some food, and if you don't mind, you can join me for dinner tonight."
Although a bit surprised, Kanda Shuichi still invited Kushida Kikyo in.
He always felt there might be something off about her, but she had always behaved well and was very friendly toward him, so he considered her a friend.
Seeing Kanda Shuichi's condition, the two paused for a moment.
"Kanda? Are you okay?"
"Yeah, if you're mad, I'll go beat up that idiot Yamauchi right away."
What are you two talking about? But thanks anyway.
"Come on in."
After preparing the ingredients, Kanda Shuichi washed his hands again and sat on the floor opposite Miyake, while the only bed was taken over by Kushida Kikyo.
Why do you both like my bed so much? Is it really that comfortable?
Afterward, Kanda Shuichi worked hard to explain his thoughts to Miyake and Kushida.
To be honest, while their intelligence was decent, they were still a bit behind the really clever Akito. Ayanokouji understood how to cooperate without reminders, while these two barely got it after I explained for a long time.
Oh, right! I did mention the plan to Ayanokouji, but he understood quickly back then, so it's really just you two.
"So, Kushida-san, I know it's troublesome, but please keep Yamauchi in check."
Yes, it takes someone like Kushida to stop Yamauchi from going dark right away.
"I won't give up on Yamauchi-kun! I believe he was just too scared and talking nonsense. I'll help him get back on his feet and apologize to Class D!"
Kushida Kikyo pumped her fist in encouragement.
Alright, if that's what you like, then go for it.
