Classroom of the Elite, Kusuo Saiki

Saiki Kusuo asked with some confusion.

"Oh, there was a temporary water bar next door, that's where I bought my water."

As Karuizawa spoke, she pointed to the other side of the playground.

"That boss looks familiar, like I've seen him somewhere before."

"Ok?"

Kusuo Saiki realized something and had a premonition. He turned his gaze to the water bar, where the owner appeared to be a young woman wearing a mask.

?

"I'll go buy some more water to keep on hand."

Kusuo Saiki strode up to the water bar and looked at the person. The curves of the body and the dark skin made him instantly recognize who the person was.

Moreover, he can clearly hear the other person's thoughts.

[I've already done my research. This person's name is Saiki Kusuo, pink hair, initials... it really is him!]

[Wow, Saiki's physical abilities are amazing! He looks like he's a key player for their class's sports festival.]

[There are a few girls nearby who seem very interested in Qi Mu; they might be potential rivals.]

These heartfelt words belong to the fortune teller.

"Excuse me, what would you like to do?"

Pretending to know nothing, Xiangbu asked Saiki Kusuo,

【Saiki actually came! I can finally get a good look at him now!】

You should remember that I have telepathic abilities.

Somewhat helplessly, Saiki Kusuo transmitted his words directly into Sabo no Mikoto's mind.

Oh no, I forgot about that.

Why are you still staying at school?

Kusuo Saiki inquired why, according to regulations, the fortune-telling shop should only be open during the summer vacation and should leave after the official start of the school term.

“I didn’t just sign a contract with the school for the fortune-telling shop; I also have a gift shop and souvenir shop on campus—selling water in such a shop is definitely no problem, right? So, if I find a business opportunity to sell water in the gymnasium, there’s no problem with that either!”

Xiang Buming immediately smiled and said.

'...'

Kusuo Saiki wanted to say something, but he couldn't seem to get it out. After all, what Aibo no Mikoto said wasn't wrong, and she hadn't violated any school rules.

"But how did you know I was here?"

"The school's upcoming sports festival will surely attract students to the stadium for practice."

Xiang Buming scratched his head and said with a smile.

"And I could see a towering aura from a great distance! It was about two hundred meters in diameter. I knew it was you without even thinking!"

"You haven't done anything strange, have you?"

"No, no, I'm just trying to make a living! But Qi Mu..."

As Xiangbo Ming spoke, he seemed to have thought of something and said to Saiki Kusuo,

"I just saw a girl who was terrifying in every way."

After speaking, Aiboku pointed to Kushida Kikyo, who was chatting and laughing with someone in the distance.

"I have never seen a girl like that before; she seems to be pretending all the time."

"Ok, I know."

Kusuo Saiki nodded, and Aiboku Mikoto, also a psychic, saw through Kikyo Kushida's true nature at a glance.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

"Don't worry, I definitely won't do anything weird!"

Kusuo Saiki stared at Aiboku no Mikoto for a while, and only left the makeshift water bar after confirming that there was nothing unusual about the other party.

However, he seemed to notice something and shifted his gaze to the direction of Kikyo Kushida in the distance.

.....

"I'll go to the restroom first."

At the same time, after saying goodbye to her friend, Kikyo Kushida quickly left the playground—but instead of going to the restroom, she turned to the side and went to a corner of the corridor.

A familiar figure was standing in front of him at this moment: Long Yuanxiang.

"It's finally here."

Ryuen Sho looked at Kushida Kikyo with a meaningful smile on his face.

"This is the list of our class for each event!"

Kikyo Kushida maintained a cute smile, a stark contrast to what she was doing, before taking out her phone and sending a document to the other party.

"That's great."

Long Yuanxiang's gaze swept over the list, and it was pretty much as he had expected.

"Sudo, Horikita, Hirata, those guys are definitely the main force of your class... And this Saiki, he actually has so many events too?"

"That's the situation in our class now. Don't forget our promise!"

Kikyo Kushida narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Of course, I haven't forgotten that I want Horikita Suzune to taste the humiliation of defeat."

Long Yuanxiang responded immediately.

He had already said that this sports festival would give Class D the most terrible punishment.

Physical fitness alone isn't enough; the most important thing is personnel arrangement.

[Simply group the weaker students in your class with the main force to face other classes, and then target the rest.]

[Furthermore... if key players like Suzune Horikita and Takeru Sudo get injured, their performance will definitely suffer significantly.]

Thinking of this, Long Yuanxiang smiled again. He had already come up with a plan to deal with Class B.

'Wow, wow, I heard something incredible!'

At this moment, neither Ryuen Sho nor Kushida Kikyo had any idea that Saiki Kusuo was right next to them, having heard their conversation clearly.

Kusuo Saiki had already heard Kikyo Kushida's thoughts and also caught Ryuen Sho's voice, so he immediately used invisibility to follow them.

"I will make Horikita Suzune get injured during this sports festival."

Long Yuanxiang said, then, as if remembering something,

"By the way, Yamauchi from your class, it seems like he didn't participate in many events, right?"

"Yamauchi?"

When Kikyo Kushida heard this name, she was quite puzzled.

"That's right. From what I see now, the name Yamauchi Haruki in your class is very likely the real culprit behind everything. Maybe he even made that recording earlier."

Long Yuanxiang's expression gradually became serious.

"How could that be? That guy was just an idiot from beginning to end!"

Kikyo Kushida frowned, completely unexpected to hear the name Haruki Yamauchi from Ryuen Sho's mouth.

"That's his brilliance; from beginning to end, you never doubted him, did you?"

Long Yuanxiang paused briefly, then continued,

"He attacked me earlier, possibly to test my skills, or perhaps to deliberately provoke me into attacking him. I was suspicious of him then. During this time, I noticed that Manabe's behavior was a bit strange. After the meeting at the gymnasium, she, who doesn't usually eat sweets, actually bought a pudding and placed it somewhere. I had been secretly observing her and discovered that Yamauchi later obtained the pudding."

'Yare yare.....'

Hearing their conversation, beads of sweat appeared on Kusuo Saiki's forehead.

'I think I've gotten myself into something really serious...'

"Pudding... I remember Qi Mu from our class, he seems to really like sweets, could it be...?"

As Kikyo Kushida spoke, Kusuo Saiki's forehead was covered in even more sweat:

'What should I do? I feel like I have to do something...'

But at that moment, Ryuen Sho interrupted Kushida Kikyo directly:

"You're too naive. It's probably common knowledge that Qi Mu from your class likes sweets. Do you think Qi Mu would do something that exposes his sweet tooth? And what's the point of buying pudding? This is Yamauchi's tactic, deliberately misleading us and making us suspect Qi Mu."

'? '

Chapter 93: Haruki Yamauchi, I will definitely make you drop out of school.

'Um...actually, I just wanted to eat pudding.'

Kusuo Saiki answered Ryuen Sho's words in his heart.

Although he almost became a suspect, he inexplicably managed to avoid suspicion in the end.

'Honestly, that Ayanokouji guy is completely unreliable....'

"I see....."

Kikyo Kushida nodded thoughtfully. After considering the matter for a moment, she felt that Ryuen Sho's words did indeed make sense.

"However, why is Manabe from your class connected with Yamauchi?"

"It's still unclear. Although their actions were based on my awareness, Manabe probably doesn't know about it yet. I didn't alert them, and maybe I can use this to my advantage. If anything happens to your Yamauchi, tell me immediately. And be careful, Yamauchi might already have noticed your betrayal."

"Well, I should go back now."

Kikyo Kushida nodded, then parted ways with Sho Ryuen and prepared to return to the playground.

'Oh dear, oh dear, did we not expect that the mountains would suffer such an undeserved disaster?'

Just as Saiki Kusuo was pondering, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.
