Felix's Classroom Of The Elite

Chapter 23 - #23 Leader?

"Ho-how?!" Both Karuizawa and Matsushita had shocked expression when they saw me with a calm smile with dead deer over my shoulders

"I was lucky and was able to sneak up on it" I said

"But-" Matsushita tried to say something but was interrupted by Karuizawa's voice

"Even if you could sneak up on it, how did you k-kill it without any weapon?!" Karuizawa asked suspiciously and when she said 'kill' she looked at the dead deer and shivered a little bit.

That's also one more reason why I didn't want them to look. She still shivered even though she didn't see me kill it.

"Heh, my uncle used to be a hunter and he taught me a bit about wild animals and their weak spots. You don't even need to be strong to kill them, after all, life is a fragile thing. That applies to every living being" I made up an excuse and hoped that they will let this matter go.

"Hmm...I want to hear more about what you did when you left without any notice" Karuizawa frowned and looked at me suspiciously.

I will probably have the hardest time fooling Karuizawa, after all, she already knows me for more than 1 year.

"Eh? What do you mean by 'leaving without any notice'? Did you two already know each other before school?" Matsushita panicked a little.

*sigh* "I will explain all I can after we finish this job" I said with a heavy sigh.

"So are we going back to the meeting place?" Matsushita calmed herself and asked with her usual smile.

"Nope, we still have quite a lot of time to explore" I said, betraying her expectations.

"What?! Isn't that thing heavy?" Karuizawa said as she looked at the relatively big deer.

"Not much, I can carry it for a bit since it isn't mȧturė deer yet or it would be impossible for me to carry it" I said a plain lie but they wouldn't even believe me if I said the truth so it didn't matter.

After a bit of arguing we kept on exploring the area for a while with little breaks for me to rest. I didn't want them to become even more suspicious so that's the reason for little breaks between our exploring.

We didn't find much, only a lot of different kinds of fruits. If any of them is at least a little bit poisonous, I might find a use for them. I will have to examine them later.

After that, we went back to our meeting place and when we came, everyone else was already there waiting for us.

"What the hell?!!" Ike immediately screamed out with a few more students when they saw us but it was most likely because of the dead deer I carried with me.

"We didn't find much, except for this beauty" I said and dropped the deer on the ground.

"But we don't have any spices or even salt" Sudo said with a worried expression

"Do you even know where we are? There are more than millions of liters of saltwater all around us. As for spices, we can gather some herbs from the island, that will have to do" I explained to him like to an idiot.

"Good idea, Walker-kun! We can take some seawater with us after we check out the 'spot' Ike-kun and others found" Hirata brightly smiled at our luck.

When we arrived at the spot, everyone was surprised by how good the location was.

It even has a river right next to it with bright clear water but the area is quite open and anyone would be able to spy on us. The so-called 'spot' is also quite visible from all sides and the leader needs to regularly reclaim it. This spot might look good but it is double-edged.

"This area is pretty good but should we really claim it? After all, the leader must reclaim it regularly and everyone would be able to see it" Hirata was able to see the disadvantage of this "good" spot.

"We have quite a lot of people, we could just surround them and form a ring around them" Yamauchi suggested.

Not a bad idea but then anyone spying on us could exclude people who definitely aren't the leader.

"Not a bad idea but the question is who should be our leader?" Hirata asked with a low voice.

"Hirata-kun and Karuizawa-san stand out too much but we need someone responsible. I nominate Horikita-san for the position of leader" Kushida suggested and no one had any objections so everyone looked at Horikita.

"I-" *sigh* "I will do it" Horikita accepted the role of the leader with a little difficulty.

"Good! Now we only need to report to Chabashira-sensei who is our leader and get the card that can be used to claim spots like these. Who will go?" Hirata asked with enthusiasm.

"I should go since I am the leader" Horikita said

"I will go with you" I raised my hand and Horikita looked at me with a bit surprised expression.

.

When we arrived at the beach near the large tent set up by the school, I noticed Chabashira-sensei talking with Class B's homeroom teacher, Chie Hoshinomiya.

"Oh? You finally showed up..." Chabashira-sensei stopped conversation with Hoshinomiya-sensei and turned at us.

"We would like to declare our lea-" Horikita wanted to inform our teacher about the leader but I stopped her by placing my hand on her shoulder.

"Hmm?" Chabashira-sensei seemed a little surprised by my sudden interruption.

"What is it, Walker-kun?" Horikita asked me with a bit annoyed and confused expression.

I didn't say anything but only glanced at Hoshinomiya-sensei which surprised her.

"What?"

"HAHAHA, it seems that my student doesn't trust you" Chabashira-sensei laughed aloud.

"I-" *sigh* "I guess I have to leave...You aren't friendly at all but maybe that's the type of boys Sae-chan likes" Chabashira-sensei gave me a look and then stick out her tongue towards Chabashira-sensei as she run away.

"...Now, what is it? Walker, are you aware that teachers can't help their students with tests? This applies for this special test too"

"I am fully aware of that"

"Then why did you want her to leave?" She asked me with a bit confused expression.

"They might be forbidden to help students during the test but what about after the test? Hoshinomiya-sensei seems to be very friendly towards her students. I wouldn't be surprised if she spent some time off the work with them. Of course, you, teachers are probably forbidden to help students too much even off the work but what about side information?"

"She definitely is more friendly than she should be but what side information do you mean?" She asked me with a genuine smile.

"Information on who they should be careful around, that kind of information" I said with a serious expression.

"Hmm, you are indeed right. We aren't forbidden to say such things. Why do I always get feeling like I am not talking to a teenager when talking with you, Walker?" Chabashira-sensei was probably amused by talking with me.

Horikita who just watched our exchange entire time had extremely confused expression. Our chat certainly didn't seem like a chat between a student and a teacher.

"Well, that doesn't matter. Horikita, what did you want to say?" Chabashira-sensei changed the subject by asking Horikita what she wanted.

"I wanted to declare our class's leader" Horikita said

"I am listening..."

"It will be m-"

"me" I finished the end of Horikita's sentence myself.

"What?!" Horikita immediately looked at me with angry expression since it wasn't what class agreed on.

"Oh? So you are the leader, Walker? I take it that it isn't what you agreed on with class, right?" She asked me after seeing Horikita's reaction.

"To fool your enemies, first, you must fool your allies" I said this to both, our teacher and Horikita at the same time with a small smile.

Chabashira-sensei looked at Horikita but she had no complaints and only thoughtful expression could be seen on her face so Chabashira-sensei went for a card with my name on it.

"Chabashira-sensei, I have one more question, if you please" I asked her with a smirk when I received the leader's card from her.

"Heh, ask right away" She had an amused smile with an expectant expression.

"Can we buy other basic things that aren't mentioned in the catalog we received?"

"Hmm? What do you have in mind?" (Chabashira)

"Can we buy the same card without it's original functions?"

"Haha, you are really amusing student, Walker!" Chabashira-sensei praised me from the bottom of her heart.

"Thank you for the compliment" I said with a little arrogant smile.

Heh, I quite like this teacher when I overlook her attempt to blackmail me, at least she is much better than a teacher like Hoshinomiya-sensei.
