Classroom Of The Elite 2nd Year - Full Volume
THE PROLOGUE HOWEVER, SUMMER IS COMING TO AN END
Sazae-san syndrome.
I wonder, have you heard that word before?
If I had to explain it simply, the desperation of having to face the Monday that happened after seeing Sazae-san that started on the night on Sunday.
With the same blood, as the last day of summer vacation approached, many disciples also faced the same despair.
They had something like 'if the holidays were longer' or 'if only I could play a little bit more' But I didn't think so.
In life, the time you get to play as you please is largely restricted to life as a student.
Assuming the minimum retirement age is 60 and 18 is the age when a person enters the world of society, the years needed to work will be up to 42 years. It was a much longer time compared to the 12 years it took to head from Elementary School to High School graduates.
After that passes, people will then be bound by society and lose their freedom. In some cases, a person continues to be bound by their job even after passing their retirement. Of course, there are naturally people who are born free of these limitations.
Some people are born to rich parents and sometimes some people succeed as entrepreneurs. Shortcuts to living like that also exist, but the chances of it happening will be more like a chance to win a lottery and people have to understand it.
As a result, for more than half of their life age, most people have had to sacrifice themselves in the name of community contributions.
Looking at it from the perspective of the people in the community, being a student itself was like enjoying a summer vacation for them. However, there are many students who become adults without appreciating the fact.
And once they reach 30 or 40, they look back on those days and think of things like 'I had a lot of fun back then'. This story is about students who worry back and forth between childhood and adulthood. A little story, a little story.
Chapter 1 IBUKI MIO SURPRISED MANY PEOPLE WITH HIS NORMAL ATTITUDE
Special exams.
The first thing that comes to mind when hearing the word is generally writing down a simple test answer or test related to sports or something related to it. However, at the school I attended, Koudo Ikusei High School, the special exam was not such a simple thing.
A special test in which the class attacks another class on an uninhabited island or a game that demands the ability to think with the liar who attacks the liar on a cruise ship. Such tests that go beyond logic continue one after another during the summer holidays.
For a first year like me, the short rest periods, including today, only get to number 7 (One week). Once that time is up, the second semester will resume.
And by the way, the way I spent the holidays was pretty simple. I just spend day after day without calling anyone or talking to anyone. In other words, be alone.
"I don't mind either"
I am content with my freedom, I do not want more happiness. Not that I want my own friends. But recently, I started thinking about such a thing.
The more connections I make with people, the more people I can have fun with. But that in itself is a probelatica. If one of my friends takes me out, there's a chance I'll be very happy with that. But even in solitude, there are things I can still do.
I'm actually doing one of those things right now, using my phone to access the rest of my points. I saw on the screen that I currently have 1 06.21 9 points. From them, I transferred 1 00,000 points to one of my classmates, Sudou Ken. And soon enough, the person who received the transfer, Sudou, called me.
"Yo, Ayanokouji, what are you doing now?" she asked.
"Nothing special. I just want to know what to eat at dinner"
"I understand. I'm eating some Sasami right now. It felt simple and it would be very easy to get bored, but for that, I could outsmart it a little. I can bake it or boil it... But, what the fuck? That's not important. All I want to ask is about the fortune teller”
A fortune teller? well, that's a word I can't guess from what Sudou is going to say. Normally, Sudou who thought in black and white, preferred simple things like Sasami he had just eaten. I never expected Sudou to be able to talk about abstract things like a fortune teller.
"The bottom line is, there seems to be a really accurate fortune teller here, at Keyaki Mall which is only on summer holidays, it seems like it is trending among seniors, even at my club, he said, everyone is talking about the fortune teller. As soon as I got the 'additional points', I also felt like I wanted to play there. That's why we're going together. Of course I will treat you”
It was an invitation to have fun together with my classmate Sudou. Speaking of Keyaki Mall, it seems like it is a facility that is often used by students. Because students are required to stay in school, it is necessary to prepare the facilities needed for students.
But something like that was not diverse and limited, unlike in the outside world. For example, there are no idol concerts, no amusement parks and no zoos. Because the area is limited, the facilities are of course also limited.
To put it simply, this was a small world and the School included such a thing, whenever something new appeared, it was always a trend among the students, it was always going on, but I never expected that forecaster would be a trend. That's an unexpected thing. But even so, I replied with a positive tone.
Since no one had ever invited me to have fun with them before, I felt so happy that I couldn't stop this feeling and quickly asked back.
"When are you going?"
"Tomorrow morning, it looks like 10 o'clock, but if you don't go there sooner it looks like you're going to get stuck in the queue, we're going to have to get there by 9:30" I guess, like, like, Sudou already had the schedule he had planned in his head, that meant, this would save us time.
"I don't mind, but what about your club?" I asked him.
"Yes, the tournament I told you about a while ago is over now, so it doesn't matter. We train every day until we fall, you know.if they don't let us rest once in a while, our bodies won't last.” Sudou was in a basketball tournament today. Although he has been practicing alone every day, I am worried about the outcome of the tournament and everything else.
"Do you have a 'problem'?" I made sure to emphasize the word 'problem' so Sudou could understand his point quickly.
"Yes, that's pretty hard. The director and the coach, everything was there, the level of supervision could not even be compared to the days in Junior High. We are not even allowed to chat with students from other schools except to talk directly during the game. Restricted by only going as far as the toilet while we were resting. I thought this was impossible” Even though the club's activities were technically outside the school, it seemed like the school was still doing an incredible amount of supervision.
"But in any case, I've managed somehow, I managed to get through it diligently" he said.
"I see, what about Yamauchi?"
Even Sudou's school life had developed, so he wouldn't do anything foul. But just in case, I had to meet up with Yamauchi immediately to make sure that the data was erased, just to be in a safe position.
"By the way, did you manage to play in this important match?"
"Yes, and among the new generation, only I can play, I even got special praise for that, but I lost the game so there's not much to be proud of"
I don't know much about this, but being able to debut in a game as a first year in itself is a proud thing. And from Sudou's words, I felt more patience than frustration.
Instead, he should continue to get results at the basketball club. He probably trained hard for this tournament. Especially since the first year was busy attending school for the sake of special exams, so to make up for it, he must have trained harder than the other students.
"So what are you gonna do? Are you going or not?" Sudou asked me
"There was nothing I planned, so I thought I would leave" After I agreed to come along, Sudou changed the conversation and spoke to me, Sudou said,
"Be sure to invite Suzune too, really invite her.understand?"
"...I understand" It seems that Sudou never wanted to ask me to go see a fortune teller but rather wanted to go with Horikita. He must have felt; even if he invited her, it was likely that he would receive humiliation, therefore he became dependent on me.
"Originally you know... I don't think he's interested in fortune-tellers" I told him.
"Although that's the case, be sure to invite her. This is the only special skill you have, isn't it?" What skills? I want him to stop using me as an invitation machine for Horikita.
"I'll try to ask him, but don't expect too much"
"Trying it is not enough"
"Not enough?....." I felt that Sudou's words contained a bit of anger. He planned to leave tomorrow assuming that Horikita must be there.
"You really have to do it. If you don't take Horikita, there's no meaning to any of this"
"Even if you say that, I don't know the plan for tomorrow either. And it is still uncertain whether he is interested in fortune-tellers or not. Can you take her out for shopping or a movie?"
"Don't worry, every woman likes a fortune teller" Sudou said.
I think it's just a theory ... But after all, girls do have an image that likes clairvoyants. But when it came to Horikita, I couldn't imagine if she acted like a normal woman and enjoyed divination.
"You got it? Are you going to take her or not? make sure to tell me. You understand?”
And after saying that, Sudou stopped the conversation forcefully. I think it's weird that Sudou is taking me away for fun, it seems like this is what he really wants.
While I was feeling a little disappointed, I quickly changed my feelings. I'd better call Horikita. If Sudou finds out that I ignored his request, it will be troublesome for me as well. Before I forgot, I called Horikita right here. And soon, Horikita received the call.
"Hey Horikita, do you like fortune tellers?" All women love fortune tellers. If there is a woman who is able to destroy my assumptions about women in general, there is no doubt that it is this woman.
"You said the strangest thing as an opening" Horikita said. Thas right. But for me, I had no other chance to open the conversation, so there was no other choice.
"It would be helpful if you answered me"
"So, that means if I don't answer it at all, there's a chance you won't survive?"
I didn't expect him to reply like that, but there was indeed a possibility that I wouldn't survive if he didn't answer. Sudou's shadow that put me in a hand lock appeared in my mind.
"So, will you save me?"
"If you don't mind me"
So, I would have considered that I was just demanding to answer ‘does he like the fortune teller?’, huh? I resisted the urge to move my fingers and quickly ended the call now, but I had to endure it, Sudou's angry face popping up in my mind.
"Please, consider it" I said to him. After realizing that the answer was something precious, Horikita raised her voice slightly and replied.
"Let's see... I'm not too enthusiastic about something like that but it would be a lie to say that I don't like it" Surprisingly, it was shocking. Horikita answered me as if she were a fortune teller.
"Have you ever had the fortune told by a fortune teller before?" Ask her.
"Of course there's nothing like it. It's just that I've seen the prophecy appear in the news every morning, "Maybe he's talking about is the birthday moon forecast that appears in the news. I can't imagine Horikita changing her clothes or buying accessories after hearing that her lucky color was red from the television screen.
"Are you probably addicted to divination?" she asked.
"No, not like that. There's been a rumor circulating recently, have you ever heard of that fortune teller?"
"Homemaster?..." Silence as if she had remembered something certain. Might he remember something, but then Horikita immediately replied in a confident tone.
"I admit that there seems to be a commotion about it, I've heard of it," he said.
"I'm a little curious about it. They keep saying if it's accurate, I want to see how accurate it is, but I can't really believe that fortune tellers can be so accurate about something"
Splice...
