Classroom of the Elite, Kusuo Saiki

For someone with superpowers like him, this kind of thing is not troublesome at all.

During the exam, Kusuo Saiki can use his superpowers to remotely modify the answers of Suzune Horikita and Kikyo Kushida.

It can also cause Kikyo Kushida to have trouble sleeping the night before her exam, and for her ballpoint pen to break during the exam...

It's impossible for Kikyo Kushida to surpass Suzune Horikita in the face of a psychic.

In Kusuo Saiki's mind, there were many ways to make Kikyo Kushida lose.

However, Kusuo Saiki certainly couldn't say such a thing, so he could only look at Kiyotaka Ayanokouji, trying to read his mind and see if there were any conventional methods to make Kikyo Kushida lose.

[I plan to put some cheat sheets around Kushida before the exam so that Chabashira-sensei will notice. That way, she'll get a zero and might even be expelled. That way, Kushida won't be a threat in the class anymore.]

"Well...maybe we can pretend that Kushida is cheating, so that she loses in this bet."

Saiki Kusuo immediately said.

"Our thoughts coincide."

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka nodded.

"So what are you going to do?"

"Um... should I find a chance to hide the cheat sheet in her clothes?"

Kusuo Saiki replied.

[Saiki's thoughts are the same as mine, and he's the easiest person for him to do this. After all, there are several girls around him who have become tools to be used. Saiki can easily use these girls to get close to Kushida and achieve this.]

‘…’

Kusuo Saiki heard Kiyotaka Ayanokouji's thoughts and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"Then I'll leave this to you, Qi Mu. You should be able to do this much more easily than I can."

Just as Kusuo Saiki was pondering, Kiyotaka Ayanokouji spoke up, directly entrusting the matter to Kusuo Saiki.

"...I haven't answered yet..."

"Also, I don't know what Horikita has been up to lately. Perhaps she has already made relevant preparations. However, in order to prevent any accidents, we should still take some precautions."

"Um....."

Kusuo Saiki nodded. He didn't know what Suzune Horikita would do during this time. In the past few days, Kusuo Saiki had been bringing others to the coffee shop for book clubs after school. With so many people around, he couldn't use his Clairvoyance ability. Otherwise, it would be too stupid to make eye contact in public.

“I originally intended to have Kushida expelled from school, but Horikita seems to have a completely different idea. She has discovered value in Kushida and wants to turn it into a driving force for the class to move up. What do you think?”

"whatever."

Kusuo Saiki casually replied that he didn't want to get involved in any more trouble.

"It seems you think the same way I do: let Horikita do what he wants."

'? '

Kiyotaka Ayanokoji interpreted Saiki Kusuo's "whatever" as meaning that Horikita Suzune could do whatever she wanted.

"Only in this way can Horikita grow up—I'll leave the matter of Kushida to you, Saiki."

After saying that, Kiyotaka Ayanokouji left, leaving Kusuo Saiki alone, bewildered in the wind.

......

A few days later, the exam arrived as scheduled.

When Kusuo Saiki arrived outside the examination hall, the other students had already come to the classroom to prepare.

His gaze immediately fell on Kikyo Kushida.

"...I haven't studied much, and I'm a little unsure about the exam!"

Kikyo Kushida smiled as she chatted with the other girls beside her.

I've already gotten the exam questions from Longyuan. Getting a perfect score should be a piece of cake!

[Not only that, I also submitted the questions to Ms. Chazhu in advance, so that she wouldn't accept any more questions from others. In this way, it's not just a personal victory for me, but also a failure for our class in this exam.]

[In that case, Horikita Suzune, as the class leader, will also be forced to drop out of school due to the insults from others! The others will all be expelled as well~ From now on, my only goal is Ryuen!]

'Oh dear, so they really did use such methods?'

Kusuo Saiki narrowed his eyes slightly; he already knew about their plan.

"Yamachi-kun, this exam is in your hands!"

Kikyo Kushida turned her head and looked at Haruki Yamauchi, who was in the corner furthest away from her.

The latter, as if startled, twitched slightly and quickly nodded:

"Uh-huh......"

Haruki Yamauchi had dark circles under his eyes, and he looked rather listless.

He once had unrealistic dreams about Kikyo Kushida, but reality was far more terrifying than he imagined.

[The fear on Yamauchi's face looked so real, but only I know it was all an act! However, I have to admit, your acting skills are probably even better than mine; that expression, even I couldn't pull it off.]

'Because he wasn't acting...'

Kusuo Saiki glanced at Haruki Yamauchi out of the corner of his eye. Haruki Yamauchi hadn't had a good night's sleep in the past few days, and he didn't even have any wicked thoughts. He had to study hard lately.

So-called forced learning?

His gaze then shifted to Horikita Suzune on the other side, wanting to know if she had taken any action, which would save him a lot of trouble.

But at this moment, Horikita Suzune's mind was filled with learning related knowledge.

'Has one reached this level of complete focus?'

Kusuo Saiki admired Suzune Horikita in his heart. No matter what happened, she was able to focus all her attention on her studies.

"Kusuo!"

Just then, a light and energetic female voice rang out from the side.

The visitor was none other than Karuizawa Kei, whose face was radiant with a smile as bright as the spring sunshine.

Good luck on this exam!

"Let's see how difficult the exam is this time."

Saiki Kusuo simply said that.

"Now, here you go!"

Karuizawa Kei took a small doll out of her pocket and handed it to Saiki Kusuo.

"what is this?"

"This is a lucky charm that will help you get high scores! We're in this together!"

Karuizawa Kei said with a smile.

"It symbolizes good luck...wait, where did you buy it?"

"The fortune-telling shop that opened this semester, the owner seems to be the same fortune teller from before."

"Is it her...?"

The image of Aiboku Mikoto's smug face involuntarily appeared in Kusuo Saiki's mind.

"The exam is about to begin. Students, please enter the examination room."

As the announcement came over the loudspeaker, students gradually entered their classrooms to prepare for the exam.

The first subject was mathematics, which was the subject chosen by Kikyo Kushida and Suzune Horikita.

As the teacher distributed the test papers, Kusuo Saiki prepared to begin his own operation.

"I'm sorry, Kushida, although you and I don't have any direct conflict—oh no, it seems we do now—to avoid any future trouble, I still can't let you get a high score."

Kusuo Saiki looked at Kikyo Kushida and thought to himself. Then he activated his superpower and instantly teleported the small note he had prepared into Kikyo Kushida's pocket, pencil case, and schoolbag.

Kikyo Kushida was surrounded by cheat sheets, but she didn't notice.

"Oh dear, even though I've placed the cheat sheet around Kushida, the teacher might not notice... I'll have to use some special methods."

With that thought in mind, Kusuo Saiki activated his superpowers again—

At the same time, Kikyo Kushida picked up her pencil case, intending to take out her exam pen, but she couldn't open it for a long time.

What's going on? Is the pencil case broken?!

Kikyo Kushida was filled with doubt, unaware that all of this was the work of Kusuo Saiki.

'Well, well, since you've acted as a traitor in the class, you'll naturally have to pay a price, right?'

As Saiki Kusuo pondered this, he glanced at Kushida Kikyo, who opened the pencil case with even greater force.

He abruptly stopped using telekinesis, and Kikyo Kushida, having exerted too much force, dropped the pens inside to the ground.

"Kushida-san, what are you doing?"

Chabashira Sae looked at Kushida Kikyo with a puzzled expression and reprimanded her sternly.

Are you disrupting the examination room?

"I'm so sorry, there seems to be a problem with my pencil case!"

Kikyo Kushida immediately said, feeling embarrassed.

Chabashira Sae frowned, but immediately bent down, picked up Kushida Kikyo's pen, and handed it to her.

"Thank you so much, teacher..."

Kikyo Kushida nodded quickly, somewhat surprised.

What's going on with the pencil case? Am I just not in the right frame of mind today? This is really strange...

However, he didn't take it to heart and quickly picked up a pen to write his name.

But no matter how hard she tried on the exam paper, she couldn't make any notes for a long time.

"Oh dear, oh dear, the instant the pen hit the ground, I already used my telekinesis to break it!"

All of this is under Saiki Kusuo's control, and Kushida Kikyo must be in a complete panic right now.

[Oh no, my pen broke! Damn it! Why did this happen? Wait, wait, could it be... that Yamauchi did all of this?!]
