Kiyomizu then placed the notebook on his desk, stood up, and was about to go to the restroom. But as he stood up, his gaze inadvertently fell on her glasses.
(Huh? The image isn't distorted?)
(Could they be decorative glasses...)
The difference between decorative glasses and regular glasses was quite obvious. If someone with normal vision wore prescription glasses, the lenses would blur their vision, making it impossible to see clearly what was behind them. But his vision was completely unobstructed. These glasses were probably just for show.
(Don't tell me... they're glasses that seal her true beauty?!)
Countless works he had seen in his past life instantly flashed through his mind. The examples were too numerous to list. In the school genre, nine out of ten girls who wore plain, decorative glasses were using them to hide their true looks or a special identity.
(Like, she takes off her glasses and becomes a beauty, or she has a split personality, or she's the daughter of some conglomerate...)
(Class D is really full of hidden dragons... so many people playing the pig to eat the tiger.)
He couldn't help but make a mental list:
—Kiyotaka Ayanokoji, needless to say. His ability to play dumb was on another level, sometimes he acted like a total troll.
—Airi Sakura, wearing decorative glasses, a hidden master.
—Even Chiaki Matsushita from Kei Karuizawa's gyaru group was suspicious. On the surface, she was just a follower, but her diligence in taking notes during class was on par with a top student. Even more strangely, he had recently caught her secretly observing him and Ayanokoji... He didn't know what she was thinking.
(Especially this Matsushita... don't tell me she's suppressing her abilities.)
Kiyomizu touched his chin and fell into thought. That detached way of observing, and the occasional sharp glint in her eyes, her abilities might not be inferior to Ayanokoji and Koenji.
(As I thought, the waters in Class D are too deep...)
.....
When Kiyomizu returned from the restroom, his phone suddenly vibrated. He unlocked it and saw that his homeroom teacher, Sae Chabashira, had already transferred 25,000 personal points to him. The transfer note had only two words: [Class Fee].
(She's fast...)
His fingertip tapped the screen, and he accepted the transfer without hesitation. After all, this was part of their deal. She was supposed to cover his share of the class fee.
(Looks like the lobbying is over...)
After returning to his seat, Kiyomizu noticed that the crowd that had been gathered around Hirata and Kushida had mostly dispersed. He discreetly glanced over. The two small circles that had consisted of a dozen people each now only had a few loyal followers left, still chatting enthusiastically. Hirata's group was mainly girls, a few of whom were blushing as they asked him for help with something. Kushida's group was mostly boys, some even eagerly holding her notebook for her. Their popularity was evenly matched, which was consistent with his memory.
Just then, Kushida walked over, her face adorned with her signature sweet smile. "~Can I bother you two for a moment?" She blinked her large, watery eyes pleadingly. "Kiyomizu-kun, Horikita-san, please! Can you transfer the class fee to me? Your two votes are very important support for me."
"No problem," Kiyomizu nodded readily, then changed the subject. "But I suddenly thought of a question. I wonder if you can answer it, Kushida-san?"
"Yes! Of course!" Kushida clasped her hands in front of her, tilting her head with an expectant expression. "What do you want to ask?"
"What specific powers do the vice class representatives have? Or... did Teacher Chabashira promise you two any special treatment for being elected?"
This question had been on his mind for a while. Why were these two so actively collecting the class fees? They wouldn't get a single point from it in the end.
Kushida's smile seemed to freeze for a moment, but she quickly recovered. "Well..." she tapped her chin with her index finger, pretending to think, "the teacher didn't really offer any special benefits. I just think that since the teacher chose me as the vice class rep, I should serve everyone well~"
Kiyomizu couldn't help but squint.
(Forget it! I shouldn't have asked her!)
(But from her tone, it doesn't seem like she's lying.)
(The teacher gives you the position of vice class rep, and you're willing to work so hard. What a good workhorse!)
He then transferred the 25,000 points to her. For him, it didn't matter who he transferred the points to, or who became the class representative. It was just the points Chabashira had sent him earlier. After all, the truly important one million points were already safely in his pocket.
"Thank you so much, Kiyomizu-kun! I definitely won't let you down. I'll do a great job leading Class D!" Kushida took out her phone, and seeing the transfer from Kiyomizu, she couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. She then turned her gaze to Suzune Horikita.
"I don't plan to vote for you."
Horikita's reply was curt, exactly as Kiyomizu had expected. In fact, since the first day of school, Horikita's dislike for Kushida had been obvious. More accurately, the maverick girl maintained an equal level of distance from all her classmates. And Kushida's repeated attempts to strike up a conversation had only intensified Horikita's dislike for her, like a vampire being forced into the sunlight, only making her crave the protection of darkness even more.
However, this time, Horikita glanced at Kiyomizu, and when she spoke again, although her tone was still stiff, it was much calmer. "...I plan to vote for Yosuke Hirata. He is more suitable for the position of class representative than you are."
Although Horikita's words were still almost brutally direct, at least—this was the first time she had frankly expressed her opinion to a classmate. Kiyomizu discreetly raised an eyebrow.
(Looks like yesterday's scolding had some effect...)
Kushida nodded with a smile. "Of course, I completely respect your choice, Horikita-san! Hirata-kun is also very outstanding~" Her gaze shifted between the two of them, finally resting on Horikita's slightly tense face. "But if you change your mind later, you can always come to me!"
Her words were flawless, showing both tolerance and leaving herself an out.
"You should learn some emotional intelligence from Kushida-san in the future."
"...I could never learn to fake a smile like that in my entire life."
