Chapter 100: Class D's Uncrowned King!
Sudo Ken's rebuttal actually made some sense.
Class D had no class points left to deduct anyway, so why did they have to act like good students?
Worst of all, Sudo's words made quite a few students show agreement.
The poor students like Ike Kanji especially looked like they wanted to stand up and support Sudo.
'Chabashira-sensei, not only did you not help me manage Class D, you even made these guys think breaking discipline doesn't matter.'
Yuto silently complained about a certain cold, beautiful homeroom teacher in his heart.
…
Back in the faculty office, Chabashira Sae suddenly shivered.
For some reason, she felt an ominous sensation, as if some troublesome brat had set his sights on her.
However, that ominous feeling was quickly covered by displeasure.
Because Chabashira saw Hoshinomiya Chie's dazzling smile.
"Sae-chan~ Our Class B has 870 class points, you know? How many class points does your Class D have~~ Ah! You hit me!"
Hoshinomiya Chie cried out in pain and covered her forehead.
Just now, Chabashira had fiercely chopped her with a hand knife.
"I treated you to drinks last night!"
"Yes."
Chabashira gave a cold laugh. "And when it was time to pay, Chie, you were already drunk. In the end, you treated me, but I paid."
"Well..."
Hoshinomiya smiled awkwardly and showed a cute smile that did not match her age.
"Sae-chan, you know I get drunk easily. I didn't get drunk on purpose just to make you pay!"
"Heh. Do you think I'll believe you?"
…
While Chabashira and Hoshinomiya were loving and killing each other in the faculty office, Class D became noisy again.
The reason, of course, was Sudo's words.
"Our class points are already zero anyway. No matter what we do, they won't be deducted any further."
"So let's talk about following discipline after we actually have class points again!"
"We need to start following discipline now," Yuto said calmly to Sudo.
"You bastard..."
Sudo glared at Yuto.
He hated Shimizu Yuto, who was good at basketball but refused to teach him.
And every time he faced this bastard, Sudo was always the one who suffered.
This time, Sudo decided that no matter what Yuto said, he would go against him!
Although that decision was childish and laughable, it was the only way Sudo had to take revenge on Yuto.
Under Sudo's angry glare, Yuto calmly spoke.
"People develop habits. Once you get used to being late and leaving early, it becomes hard to correct."
"So we need to start following discipline now."
"Otherwise, once our class points increase, certain students who are already used to breaking discipline will keep doing it out of habit."
"That's right! Shimizu-kun is right!"
"Sudo-kun really doesn't understand the situation. Doesn't he know we need to start changing now?"
Facing the Class D students' accusations, Sudo slammed his desk hard in anger.
"Shut up! Do whatever you want, but don't try to control me. Got it?!"
Sudo's rebuttal caused even greater chaos and dissatisfaction.
Before this morning's homeroom, the students of Class D had no real complaints toward poor students like Sudo, Ike, Yamauchi, and Sotomura.
After all, their rotten behavior and skipped classes did not affect them.
But after homeroom, everything changed.
Class points were closely tied to every student.
So everyone began resenting poor students like Ike and the others.
Some students even complained loudly, saying Sudo was late and left early the most.
If Sudo had not been in Class D, their class points definitely would not have been deducted down to zero!
"Sudo, you said we can do whatever we want, right?"
Yuto showed Sudo a refreshing smile with a deeper meaning behind it.
Airi, who had been watching Yuto the whole time, blinked.
Her childhood friend was about to trick someone again.
Sudo felt uneasy because of Yuto's smile.
The main reason was that Yuto's reputation was too terrifying.
Whether it was students in the same year or upperclassmen, anyone who faced him was always crushed cleanly.
Yuto's undefeated reputation had been built that way.
The person Sudo hated most was Shimizu Yuto.
But the person he admired most was also Shimizu Yuto...
Although he felt uneasy, Sudo still stubbornly said, "That's right. Shimizu Yuto, do whatever you want. So what do you want to do?!"
"A few days ago, basketball club president Odaishi Kai invited me to join the basketball club."
"But I asked him, 'Doesn't the basketball club already have a new member? Are you still short on people?'"
Yuto smiled faintly at Sudo.
"Odaishi said that as long as I'm willing to join the basketball club, he'll kick out one reserve member."
Sudo's heart suddenly jolted.
He seemed to understand what Yuto wanted to do to him.
Shimizu Yuto would accept Odaishi Kai's invitation, join the basketball club, and then have Odaishi kick him out.
Sudo was not very smart, but even he knew Odaishi would definitely kick him out of the basketball club to make Yuto join.
Damn it...
Hateful...
Terrifying... bastard!
Yuto looked at Sudo, whose whole body was trembling with anger.
Still wearing a refreshing smile, he slowly said, "Sudo, you seem to have guessed what I want to do to you."
"So do you think I should join the basketball club and have you kicked out?"
"You dare?!" Sudo looked at Yuto in shock and anger.
If anyone else had threatened Sudo like that, his hot temper would have made him rush forward, grab their collar, and punch them.
But the one threatening him was Yuto.
Sudo clearly remembered being grabbed by the arm and thrown to the ground by Yuto.
"What wouldn't I dare do?"
"Besides, the basketball club is one of this school's five major clubs. Then there must be chances to earn class points for the class."
Yuto said with a smile, "I'm willing to join the basketball club for everyone in Class D and fight for class points."
Yuto's words earned praise and support from every student.
Under those especially piercing voices, the furious Sudo slammed the desk again like an enraged red-haired gorilla.
"All of you, shut up!"
The voices of the Class D students gradually stopped.
They all looked at Sudo, whose face was black with anger, with fearful and uneasy eyes.
This guy wouldn't get so angry that he started hitting people, right?
Sudo's reddened eyes glared at Yuto.
Gritting his teeth, he said, "Shimizu Yuto, you... you win."
"I'll... follow discipline."
"So let me stay in the basketball club. I'll also earn class points for the class..."
Under the shocked and delighted gazes of the Class D students, the delinquent Sudo yielded to Yuto.
He lowered his unruly head.
There were too many things Sudo did not care about.
The only thing he cared about was basketball.
Basketball was Sudo's one and only.
It was his soul and his motivation.
To avoid being kicked out of the basketball club, no matter how angry or dissatisfied Sudo was, he would endure it for basketball and obey Yuto's orders and arrangements.
Sudo Ken, one of Class D's biggest troublemakers and problem students, had been completely grasped by Yuto.
Yuto looked at Sudo, who had chosen to obey, with satisfaction.
"Remember what you just said. Obediently follow discipline."
"Stop nagging. I will."
"But although I'll follow discipline, I absolutely won't study hard!" Sudo declared his final persistence.
"That doesn't matter. I never planned to make you study hard anyway."
Yuto shrugged.
"After all, anyone who fails the final exam will be directly expelled by the school."
"So don't think you're studying for someone else or for the class. You're studying so you don't get expelled."
"That's right."
Kushida Kikyo poked her head out from behind Yuto and reminded him, "If you're expelled by the school, then Sudo-kun, you'll also be forced to leave the basketball club, right?"
"Exactly," Hirata Yosuke agreed.
"So Sudo-kun, for your own sake, please study hard."
"Shut up!"
Sudo snapped back in irritation.
No longer able to stay in the classroom, he left with a gloomy face.
"Sudo, remember to come back before class starts. If you're late, I'm going to the basketball club."
"You damn bastard, I know!"
Sudo answered Yuto in frustration, then left with his stomach full of anger.
Yuto withdrew his gaze from the classroom door.
Then he looked at the three poor students, Ike Kanji, Yamauchi Haruki, and Sotomura Hideo.
"Sudo has already decided to become a good student and contribute to the class."
"So you three should state your stance too."
"Shimizu-kun, please rest assured! We'll definitely follow discipline!"
"Right, right! Even if I get a bad cold, I'll still come to class!"
"Then even if I become paralyzed, I'll crawl to the classroom!"
Ike, Yamauchi, and Sotomura hurriedly promised Yuto.
What a joke!
Even Sudo, the scariest person in class, had been mercilessly crushed by Shimizu Yuto.
How could three timid guys like them dare oppose Yuto?
Besides, they also wanted to increase class points.
After all, their personal points were almost completely spent!
On this day, Shimizu Yuto, who had become Class D's uncrowned king through his terrifying reputation, officially began his rule and leadership over Class D.
The troublesome student, Sudo Ken, obeyed Yuto's management.
The lazy poor students, Ike Kanji and the others, also submitted and did not dare resist at all.
The small boys' circle led by Hirata Yosuke.
The small girls' circles led by Kushida Kikyo and Karuizawa Kei.
All of them were won over by Yuto's reputation and actions.
Hirata looked at Yuto with admiration.
He sincerely praised him, saying, "As expected of Shimizu. It's fortunate Class D has you. Otherwise, Sudo-kun and the others would definitely keep doing whatever they wanted."
"Enough of that, Hirata. Let's lead everyone properly together. We have to rise to Class A!"
Yuto patted Hirata on the shoulder.
"Mm!"
Mm...
Yuto had gained another useful helper he could freely order around.
His name was Hirata Yosuke.
Horikita Suzune stood at the side of Class D with her arms crossed.
She silently watched Yuto, who had been surrounded by the Class D students.
As she looked at his calm, handsome face, she suddenly understood why her brother, Horikita Manabu, wanted her to observe and learn from him.
Because Shimizu Yuto's personal charm and ability were simply too absurd.
Without using any force, Shimizu Yuto had easily become Class D's leader and ruler.
That was something Suzune could not learn no matter how hard she tried.
Kei and Airi did not think as much as Suzune.
The two of them simply felt that Yuto was worthy of being their man.
So handsome!
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka sat in his seat and silently watched Yuto.
He had no opinion or thoughts about Yuto becoming Class D's leader.
Or rather, Ayanokouji was very happy to see this situation.
Because Ayanokouji had come to this school only with the thoughts of "experiencing an ordinary high school life" and "properly enjoying school life."
So staying low-key as much as possible was Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's principle of avoiding trouble.
Bang.
The door of Class D was knocked on roughly.
Ryuen Kakeru and Yamada Albert stood at the entrance of the Class D classroom.
Many students in Class D seemed to know that Ryuen was a delinquent from Class C, so they showed a little unease.
However, once the Class D students remembered that Shimizu Yuto had once beaten this delinquent Ryuen badly, the unease in their hearts faded.
Seeing Ryuen's delinquent figure, Yuto immediately frowned.
Then he showed a faint, unreadable smile.
"Ryuen, you came all the way to Class D. Is it because the sky cleared, the rain stopped, and you think you're capable again?"
"So you're planning to wager against me one more time?"
"I don't have that idea."
Ryuen showed Yuto a mocking smile.
"Shimizu Yuto, I came to Class D purely because I wanted to mock you."
Yuto raised an eyebrow. "What's the reason?"
"Of course, it's because Class D's class points are zero!"
"Shimizu Yuto, don't you think that number is way too funny?"
"The personal points you received from the school this month should also be zero, right?"
Before Yuto could answer Ryuen, Kei could not help refuting him.
"Even if Yuto received zero personal points, he still has more personal points than you!"
