Felix's Classroom Of The Elite

After the meeting inside the gymnasium, both I and Sakayanagi decided to meet up in the secluded area without any security cameras around.

"Well, what kind of cooperation are you expecting from me?" Sakayanagi asked me with an anticipating smile.

Instead of answering her right away, I looked at the person standing on the right side of Sakayanagi.

That person was Kamuro who also noticed my stare and her expression became annoyed one because she understood my meaning behind that stare.

"Oh? Are you worried about Kamuro here? There is no need to." Sakayanagi also noticed my hesitation so she reassured me.

Well, she probably already knows about our deal so I guess it doesn't matter. It also seems that Sakayanagi has full control over Kamuro.

"I won't beat around the bush and get right into the point. Can you get hold of detailed information about Class B's students and their participation table?" I revealed my point to her which definitely won't be an easy task.

"Fuu...That's a lot you are asking for, you know? This is cooperation so what do I get from you in return?" She was slightly surprised by my request but her smile immediately returned.

"Something of the same value but in the end, you don't really care about this sports festival, right?" I replied to her and also asked her a question while shrugging my shoulders.

"Oh? Why would you think like that? After all, our class can lose more than 200 points if we lose miserably." She asked me with an amused expression.

"Because you won't be participating, therefore Katsuragi will be taking lead in this sports festival. The more points your class will lose, the more influence will he lose. Plus it's not like your class can't afford to lose 200 points, even if Class B would win the 1st place, they still won't be anywhere near to overtake your class." I said with a nonchalant expression and with hands in my pockets.

"So you are saying that you will help Class A to lose? Fufufu, each second passes, you are becoming more and more interesting, Walker-kun. I am really curious about you" Sakayanagi couldn't help but laugh a bit when she heard my ridiculous proposal. As for her curiosity...she most likely meant my past and the reason why I was ȧssigned to Class D.

Kamuro on the other side frowned a bit when she heard our conversation, however, she didn't say anything.

"Although it isn't a half-bad offer, Katsuragi underestimates Ryuen too much and he is too passive to do something radical. Class B has probably most of the athletic students from all the other classes, therefore it's easy to predict that Katsuragi will definitely lose against Ichinose and with a little bit of luck, he will also lose against Ryuen which means that he will lose at least 50 points and it wouldn't be that hard for your class to also overcome him. I can't imagine your class wanting to end in the last place. I don't really see any value in this deal..." She said with a smile but there was no indication of her trying to leave which meant that she was just waiting for my response, testing me.

"True enough, however, I can also do it the other way and instead of being neutral or sabotaging Katsuragi, I can also help him during the sports festival, help him in gaining more influence and support. After all, we of Class D and Class A are a team..." I said with a provocative smile.

Hearing my words, Kamuro's frown only intensified as she started glaring at me with a wariness visible in her eyes.

"Fufu, I guess your deal is acceptable, even though I have confidence in overwhelming the whole Katsuragi's faction, it would only be more troublesome if you decided to buŧŧ in."

"Are you su-" Kamuro was surprised by how easily Sakayanagi agreed to my suggestion so she tried to change her decision, however, she closed her mouth when she noticed Sakayanagi raise her hand indicating for her to stop talking.

"However, Walker-kun, I am not entirely confident in gaining all information about all of their students but I have some confidence in obtaining their participation table, nevertheless, don't expect much from me because I will have a small impact during the sports festival." She said with a smile.

'She has some confidence in obtaining Class B's participation table' Which means that there is also a chance that she won't obtain it and as for their information...I will have to observe them during their PE lessons myself if I want to be sure.

"Alright, that should be everything, thank you for your precious time. See you both later, Kamuro-san, Sakayanagi-san" I said and prepared myself to leave however I instinctively stopped walking when I have heard Sakayanagi's voice.

"Walker-kun, does the name 'White Room' ring a bell to you?"

With my back facing her, I frowned when I heard her words. I felt like I knew that name however it also felt so unfamiliar at the same time.

What is it? Why does it sound so familiar yet I can't recall what it is with my photographic memory?

I had too many questions inside my head however I decided to shove them aside for now because I had to reply to Sakayanagi unless I want her to turn too suspicious of me.

I turned around to look at her with as genuinely confused expression as I could fake.

"No...what is it?" I asked her with a combination of confused yet cautious expression.

"...*sigh* Forget it, it's nothing important, just a little mistake" She observed my expression for a bit before dropping it. Her expression was on the verge between relief and disappointment which didn't make any sense to me.

"Katsuragi will be the one in charge of Class A's participation table, however, I can recommend someone athletically capable in the mixed three-legged race." She continued and even offered to help me with such a small things for nothing in return while giving a glance to the side at Kamuro.

I ran my eyes over the entire Kamuro's body and nodded in satisfaction...she indeed looks athletically capable, however...

"What are you looking at?" Kamuro didn't notice Sakayanagi's earlier glance at her so she wrapped her arms around her body as if to protect it from my eyes while she glared at me with a weird expression and hostility visible in her eyes.

"Fufu, that was indeed rude from you, Walker-kun. But we were earlier talking about you, Kamuro. Walker-kun probably just wanted to check if you are really capable." Sakayanagi explained to her trusted aid when she noticed how strangely she was behaving.

"I see..." Kamuro mumbled and 'stopped protecting her body from my eyes' with a slightly embarrassed expression however she tried her best to maintain her poker face.

"That was indeed rude from me, I am sorry about that." I nodded at Sakayanagi's explanation and apologized to Kamuro.

"However, why would you want to help me this way? Wouldn't that increase the chances of getting a better place at the sports festival?" I questioned her offer, after all, we get even more points in the recommended contests than in the universal ones.

"It's one of many contests where we are real allies so why not? Even if we will win that contest, it's only 1 contest out of many others, it won't make that big difference" She shrugged her shoulders as to show her indifference to this matter.

I thanked them and finally left the place.

----After Felix left----

"Sakayanagi-san, are you really sure about this?" Kamuro asked while both of them were watching Felix's back that was slowly disappearing in the distance.

"Yeah, why not? Aren't you curious about him too? There is no harm in a little cooperation, at least for now" Sakayanagi replied with an amused smile.

"I guess...?" Kamuro mumbled in low voice, however, her mind was somewhere else.

'What kind of person is he? Why is Sakayanagi making deals with him so leisurely? He was able to gain her attention and interest but why? I admit that he definitely doesn't look like a student who should be in Class D but if I have to be honest then I am not entirely sure where I would place him. Sometimes he even looks like a person out of this world, simply too mysterious just by looking at him.' Karumo thought with a helpless expression because she couldn't find an answer to any of these questions.

"Mysterious, isn't he?" Sakayanagi asked with an interested smile, she could read what was going on inside Karumo's mind just by looking at her face.

Her words slightly jolted Karumo who wasn't paying attention and as a response, she only nodded her head with a complicated expression.

----()----

Our first PE class ever since the school resumed classes begun.

The teacher told us that we can do whatever we want so everyone formed a circle to quickly form groups and start practicing for the upcoming sports festival.

I excused myself from the lesson by saying that I wasn't feeling very well. Although Sudo wasn't very happy after hearing this, however, I explained to him that the sports festival is still a few weeks away so I can practice later but what if I caught something during the practice while I wasn't feeling very good. It's better to rest and skip one class of PE instead of being ill for the entire week and have no way to practice or not being able to even attend the festival in the worst scenario possible. He immediately calmed down when I told him my reasons so I was able to excuse myself without any further problems and sit in the bleachers, observing my classmates practicing.

I even spotted Kei talking to a lot of girls, I guess she was persuading them to try their hardest.

I chose the lastest and highest row to sit at so I could have a good view of everyone training.

I closed my eyes and started to focus on my eyes, it was a very similar process as when I was trying to enter The Golden Cliff.

After a minute of concentration, I slowly opened my eyes, revealing extremely calm red irises, vertical slit pupils with a yellow glittering circle around them.

My sight became much clearer and far superior to before the change. And I must add that my sight was already superior to an average human. After this change, I was able to see clearly all the details.

Even from such a distance, I was able to notice when people were having a bad stance during the running. I was able to see how much they are using their muscles and if they are using them in the right way, practically everything.

However, maintaining such a state was extremely straining so I had to stop when I have got a headache after 30 minutes of observing them but I have got most of the students covered up at that time. I can observe the rest individually without entering that state, however, the same can't be said about Class B and C...

*sigh* I still have a lot work to do but at least I have a lot of time before the sports festival begins.

"Are you sure you are alright?" The one who approached me was Kei with a worried expression while offering me bottled water and I couldn't say that I wasn't expecting that question from someone because my face must be even paler than before due to that headache and exhaustion it caused me.

"Thanks...*gulp*...*gulp*" I accepted it with a smile and gulped the entire bottle of water in one go.

"Haaa, nice and cold. Maybe I wasn't getting better due to dehydration, now I feel much better, thank you" I thanked her once again with a smile and she returned the smile, however, she quickly went back to her friends because anyone could see her talk with me and it would be better if we don't create any necessary rumors.

I leisurely thought and looked around to see if anyone is watching me but everyone was too focused on their practice so I crushed the plastic bottle in my hand and threw it precisely into the trash bin for the plastics only standing tens of meters away from me.
