Classroom of the Elite, Kusuo Saiki

Kiyotaka Ayanokoji then shared his thoughts.

Karuizawa should be completely obedient to Shinomiya now.

'Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean by "my Karuizawa"?'

Kusuo Saiki's brow twitched slightly, but he still shook his head.

"What you want to do is none of my business, but if you want Karuizawa to do something, you can go to her yourself. There's no need to come to me."

Kusuo Saiki didn't want to get involved in even bigger trouble, and he also felt that Kiyotaka Ayanokoji's plan was definitely unreliable.

"is it?"

Kiyotaka Ayanokouji seemed somewhat surprised by Kusuo Saiki's words, and his mind raced as he pondered why Saiki had answered him in this way.

Did Saiki reject my plan?

Is there a flaw in my plan?

Or does Qi Mu have a better idea?

Chapter 91: What was the reason for Kusuo Saiki's defeat?

"Hey, hey, hey, whatever you want to do is none of my business. Can you please not drag me into this?"

Kusuo Saiki thought to himself.

Every time he says or does something, Kiyotaka Ayanokouji imagines a whole bunch of inexplicable things.

Even though he had already hinted to Ayanokouji Kiyotaka that Chabashira Sae was a person who liked to bluff, the other party still seemed to have the goal of upgrading his class to Class A.

"Ayanokouji, before that, I have something to ask you. Shouldn't you also yearn for a peaceful life? Why are you so concerned about getting promoted to Class A?"

Kusuo Saiki finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked.

"It's because of some unavoidable reasons."

"Was she threatened by Chabashira-sensei?"

Kusuo Saiki can only push the conversation forward on his own.

[Saiki even noticed that? Typical Saiki.]

'With telepathy and clairvoyance, it's hard not to know.'

However, he probably doesn't know anything about the White House.

'Are you referring to the white gym? Or that white cram school?'

However, since Qi Mu has already said so, it's appropriate to tell him part of the truth.

"Ah."

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka nodded.

"Tea Pillar teacher did ask me to help her advance to Class A under certain conditions, which involved my past."

"No matter what Ms. Chabashira says, she's most likely just lying to you."

Kusuo Saiki continued.

"Yes, that's highly likely at the moment, but there's no concrete evidence yet. On the other hand..."

After speaking, Kiyotaka Ayanokouji paused for a moment, then continued.

"I've become a little interested in the changes happening at the school. I'm curious to know what will happen next. Also, to prevent any unexpected events from happening, I think it's best to cultivate an easy-to-control tool. So I'm going to let Horikita grow. However, this sports festival might end in a crushing defeat."

"Do whatever you want with this, just don't drag me into it."

Kusuo Saiki sighed and said to Kiyotaka Ayanokoji.

"oh, I understand now."

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka nodded.

[It seems Qi Mu has his own plans? I'll wait and see for now.]

'Hey, hey, hey, I just really don't want to get involved...'

.....

The next day, the class discussed the list of participants for the sports festival, and basically divided into two factions.

One faction wants everyone to have a chance, while the other, represented by Takeru Sudo, prioritizes ability based on class performance.

Horikita Suzune is also a representative of this faction.

However, unlike Sudo Ken's single proposal, Horikita Suzune also devised more rules to take care of the students with lower grades in the class—students who win the top spots can transfer their points to members with lower grades in the class if they have enough points.

Horikita Suzune also devised all the other rules to satisfy most of the class members, who eventually agreed to her proposal.

[If it were me, I would probably arrange for someone else to oppose Horikita's proposal. Although it would likely still be approved in the end, it would probably make Horikita realize that things don't always go as she expects.]

Karuizawa is the most suitable candidate. She leads the largest group of girls in the class. If Karuizawa can voice her objections, many girls will likely agree. However, I am not Saiki and cannot completely control Karuizawa.

Kushida could also play a similar role, but as a traitor to Class B, she is not a suitable choice.

Although Kiyotaka Ayanokoji had his own ideas, they ultimately failed to be implemented because Kusuo Saiki seemed unwilling to get involved.

Kusuo Saiki looked around. At this moment, there were still some people in the class who did not agree with the decision, but since the voting results were clear, they had no choice but to obey the instructions.

Once the overall policy was determined, the next step was to select participants for each project.

Students with excellent physical abilities, such as Ken Sudo, Suzune Horikita, and Yosuke Hirata, volunteered to participate in many events, but they still only filled in a portion of them, and many events remained unattended.

"Hey, Koenji, aren't you going to help?"

Sudo glared at Koenji Rokusuke, who was sitting to the side and hadn't participated in the discussion at all.

Although he was very unhappy with Koenji Rokusuke, Sudo Ken had to admit that the other party possessed terrifying physical abilities.

During their last swimming lesson together, Rokusuke Koenji defeated Ken Sudo.

If Koenji participates seriously, he will at least be guaranteed a high ranking in the individual competition.

"I'm not interested, you can do whatever you want."

Koenji Rokusuke responded nonchalantly, continuing to fix his hair and not glancing at Sudo Ken once.

"Don't be ridiculous!"

The anger in Sudo Ken's heart had already risen without him realizing it.

“I’m not joking, and I have no reason to be forced by you. But even if you have the right to force me, I’m not going to listen to you.”

Koenji Rokusuke maintained an arrogant smile on his face.

"you....."

Sudo Ken was furious, but remembering what had happened earlier, he forcibly suppressed his anger.

"How about we go to the gym for a physical fitness test later? That way we can arrange different events according to each person's physical condition, okay?"

Sensing that the atmosphere had changed, Hirata Yosuke immediately stepped in to smooth things over, and the other students present all agreed.

'Oh my god... there's even a physical fitness test...?'

Kusuo Saiki frowned. He had originally planned to slip through these muddled waters, but he never expected this turn of events.

"It's a small matter. As long as you deliberately maintain a below-average score in the physical fitness test, there shouldn't be any problems."

......

Soon, the students of Class B arrived at the gymnasium to undergo various tests. Because it was a public gymnasium, there were quite a few people present, and the presence of students from other grades made the place somewhat noisy.

The first test was grip strength. Hirata Yosuke and Horikita Suzune borrowed two grip strength testers and then conducted the tests in sequence.

"Oh dear, so it's grip strength first?"

Kusuo Saiki observed the surrounding equipment, guessing what type of projects would be involved next and how he should handle them.

'My order should be relatively late, so we just need to take the average of the scores from the people who came before me...'

Thinking about this gave Kusuo Saiki a headache.

"Qi Mu, it's your turn."

At that moment, before Kusuo Saiki could react, Kiyotaka Ayanokouji had already handed him the hand grip strengthener.

"What? How come it's so fast? Shouldn't I be one of the later ones?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Kusuo Saiki's eyes.

"Sudo just said he wanted to be the first to take the test so he could demonstrate his ability to 'lead the class,' so it changed. He's the first now, and I'm the second. We just finished the test, and now it's your turn."

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka replied.

"Fine....."

Kusuo Saiki carefully took the hand gripper. He had been lost in thought and hadn't mentioned what was happening here.

'Damn it, I was originally one of the last few people, but now I'm third?! Damn it, there are only two samples ahead of me, Sudo and Ayanokouji, so I'll just observe for now.'

While thinking, Kusuo Saiki immediately used his X-ray vision to look at the notebook in Yosuke Hirata's hand, which recorded the grip strength of the two people in front of him.

Ken Sudo: 82.4

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka: 60.6

'I have no idea what the average high school student's grip strength is... Since Ayanokouji's is sixty, then I'll aim for around sixty too.'

As he thought about it, Kusuo Saiki controlled his strength, gradually increasing the pressure in his fingers.

For Kusuo Saiki, this was the most difficult thing in his life; he needed to maintain super concentration.

"Hurry up, Qi Mu, what are you dawdling for?"

Ken Sudo, standing to the side, urged impatiently.

Don't rush me.

Saiki Kusuo replied somewhat irritably.

But this momentary distraction caused Saiki Kusuo to lose control of his strength, and the pointer on the hand grip strengthener started spinning wildly like a mad dog—

'!! ? ?'
