Felix's Classroom Of The Elite

"What are you two doing here?" Kei asked a pretty stupid question but I guess she just wanted to make this situation more uncomfortable for Ibuki who previously stole her undėrwėȧr during the survival test.

"I could ask you the same question. Why should I answer you?" Ibuki immediately replied with a strong voice.

"And are you stupid or something? Asking someone what they are doing at the fortune-teller event?" Ibuki didn't even let her respond before attacking her with harsh words.

"Huh?! Perhaps you are stupid if you weren't even able to understand what I actually meant by that question." Kei didn't even spend a few seconds of thinking before commencing her counter attack.

I thought that Ibuki dislikes Horikita the most but I am starting to think that Kei is on her list on the same level.

Both I and Ayanokoji watched them arguing before looking at each other with hopeless expressions.

"Did you have your fortune divined already?" Ayanokoji asked me and when Ibuki heard his words she stopped her arguing with Kei and also focused her attention on me.

Is she so curious about fortune-telling? He probably said those words to stop them from starting a cat-fight here.

"Yeah, it was pretty good but quite expensive." I honestly said and when Kei heard me say expensive, she secretly gave me a look but she never said anything.

I don't see any reason for them to know the fact that we weren't required to pay plus it would only make the situation worse for the old lady rather than us. Although she is a self-employed person, it could incite the dissatisfaction of the people who came here and fairly paid for her service. I don't really care about her but since she did nothing bad to us, why should I make it harder for her if I can prevent it by saying fewer words? This way I will even warm my 'lovely' classmates that it's quite expensive...aah I am really kind person, ain't I?

I thought and snickered inwardly.

"How much?" Ayanokoji asked me with a slightly curious expression.

"At least 5.000" Immediately after I answered, I could hear a hissing sound coming from him while checking something on his phone with a hesitating expression. I guess he was checking his balance of the private points.

"Come on, don't tell me you can't afford it!" Ibuki was the one who said this with an angry expression. I guess she really wants to try it.

"*sigh* I can..." Faced against Ibuki's angry expression, he was forced to tell her the truth.

We quickly said our goodbyes since there was still a long queue waiting for them to join in.

...

"Are you perhaps curious about why they were together?" I asked her and she jumped a bit after hearing my question.

"And you aren't? Why was Ayanokoji-kun from our class hanging out with Ibuki-san from Class C?" She said with a suspicious look.

She is starting to be more vigilant of everyone around and no longer plays it cool like before when she first came to this school.

"I don't think that Ayanokoji-kun would try to do something that would harm our class. They probably met there and were forced to go together since it is 'couples only'." I emphasized the words 'couples only' and gave her a particular look.

"Hehe, I am sorry for not telling you everything." She released an awkward laugh while scratching her head with innocent puppy eyes.

"However you weren't very honest with me and my mom neither..." She said with a serious expression but she didn't look a bit angry. I guess she thinks that I had my reasons.

"*sigh* I am sorry for lying, however, it's quite a long story..." I sincerely apologized for deceiving her.

"Hehe, I don't mind spending more time with you..." When she saw that I had no complicated expression, she insisted on hearing my story.

I quickly made up some story, after all, I couldn't tell her that I wasn't even born here...

We decided to stop here for a bit and look at the students practicing.

If I remember correctly, Hirata should be part of the soccer club.

"I see...What about your guardians? Granma, aunt?" She asked with a sad expression when she listened to my story.

When I heard the word 'aunt', my expression became extremely cold and I couldn't help but grit my teeth while generating pressure on the railing, I was holding onto. The metal railing started making a weird sound and it actually slightly bent under the pressure.

"Felix-kun?!" When I heard Kei's voice, I was finally able to wake up.

I turned at her with a confused expression and saw that she had a concerned expression with moist eyes.

"I am sorry, I lost my posture" I apologized, this time I was really ashamed for losing it.

How can just image of that bitch make me lose my cool? She is beneath me, I don't need to care about that talking ant.

With those thoughts in mind, I quickly calmed down and returned to my usual self.

"Are you really feeling al-" Kei wanted to make sure if I was alright but she was interrupted by a distant loud voice shouting at us.

"Walker-kun, Karuizawa-san!" Both of us turned at the location of the soccer field and we saw Hirata waving to us with a smile.

"Let's go see what he wants." I said and Kei nodded and went first. I took a glance at the bent railing and quickly applied pressure from the opposite side to restore it to its original state.

...

We came closer to Hirata and greeted him and started talking, after a while, someone approached us.

"Oi, Hirata-kun. Are you slacking off?" The one who approached us was a student with blond hair and light blue eyes. It was apparent that he was joking but I could see that he was extremely arrogant.

"Oh, Nagumo-senpai. These two are my classmates, Felix Walker and Kei Karuizawa." Hirata introduced us to that guy who seemed to be our senior.

"Hm? Nice to meet you two. I am Miyabi Nagumo, the second year from Class A" Nagumo redirected his gaze at me and then at Kei. He stopped when his gaze rested on her and he gave her particular look before turning back to Hirata.

I don't like his eyes. I frowned and my eyes became sharper.

I already knew that he was planning to make some trouble.

"Hirata-kun, isn't that your ex? How come she already found someone else?" Nagumo asked in a low voice with a curious expression but everyone was able to hear his question. I also noticed the ugly smile under his curious expression.

"Umm...Not a while ago, they told me that they were together just because of the fortune-teller event." Hirata answered with quite an awkward expression. He knew that if this would spread, Kei would become the center of rumors.

"I see, so that's how it is, I see... Walker-kun, is it? How about helping us with our practice? We are currently missing 1 person and we don't want to play 10v10 game." Nagumo asked me with a 'friendly' smile but for me, it looked more like a taunting smile.

What's this guy's problem? I have never met him before.

Is it because of her? I thought and took a glance at my right side where Kei was standing.

"I am sorry senpai but I will have to kindly decline your offer. I have no experience with soccer, neither I have the right clothes on me to practice." I didn't want to pick up a fight with the guy I knew nothing about. But if he will really insist then I won't have much choice.

He looks too arrogant to be just a normal student so it will be better for me to play it safe.

"Oh, you don't have to worry about having no experience with it... you can just play defense and basic rules are really easy to understand. As for clothes, we have a lot of spare clothes for practice in the changing room. How about it?" Nagumo asked me with a smile.

I guess I should entertain him just this time. I will investigate him later but I have to be careful who to talk to...maybe this is the right time for me to contact Horikita-senpai once again.

"*sigh* Alright but don't expect much from me..." I said with a helpless smile.

I turned at Kei and said: "You can go back without me"

"I will wait and watch the practice game" She said with a resolute expression.

I guess she really wants to go back with me but this must be also what that guy wants. I don't know if he wants to humiliate me before her or if it's something else...

...

I quickly changed my clothes and joined them. To make it fair for me, I got into my team 2 best 1st years, Hirata and another guy from Class B.

"Hello, my name is So Shibata, let's have fun while we play. Just don't be nervous and everything will be alright." Shibata extended his hand for a handshake and reassured me with a friendly smile. I guess everyone from Class B is like that.

"Felix Walker, I will be in your care" I politely replied and accepted his handshake.
