Chapter 55: Aftermath
"Alright, Ichinose."
Tatsuya's voice shifted once again, now as gentle as ever.
"If that's what you think, then I wish you good luck. May your graduation be a reunion with all forty of your classmates by your side."
His seemingly benign words carried an undertone, leaving an ominous resonance in the air. Kanzaki behind her flinched, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"My, my, Ichinose-san, it seems like that's quite a threat," Arisu fanned the flames, "He seems to be underestimating you."
Ichinose shook her head, "I never wished to be enemies with you Yamamoto-kun. But I'll never agree with what you did today, future class battles may turn difficult but that has no relevance to my morals and methods."
Her words carried a sad air. She genuinely considered Tatsuya as a friend and if it was just expelling three of his classmates she could still put it behind her.
It was his class, he could do whatever he wished even if she didn't agree with it. That wasn't enough to break a friendship.
She wouldn't just forget the enjoyable moments they had hanging out or the occasional help he gave to her or her classmates.
But to completely disregard the class' will and shatter their hopes was something only a sadistic individual could do.
And in the odd case, it was not simply due to sadism then the calculative measures he took to completely take the class under his control were nothing but horrifying and... cold.
"Can I ask one question before I leave, Yamamoto-kun?"
Tatsuya nodded as he noticed Ishizaki mumbling something to Ryuen.
He ignored them for now.
They were irrelevant.
"Do you feel bad for them, Yamamoto-kun?"
Her question was pretty simple and he really just had to answer in 'Yes' or 'No'.
But Tatsuya remained silent, intentionally confusing Ichinose.
Ichinose's face took a complicated expression as a sad glint flashed in her eyes once again.
She felt hurt.
She turned around and walked away with Kanzaki. Kanzaki had stayed silent during the conversation but he was the one with the most thoughts.
His heart was filled with an ominous premonition.
Tatsuya watched her walk away and understood her feelings.
I know you feel betrayed, Ichinose.
But the beginning of your hell has just begun.
I hope you can pull through and not break down.
...
With Class B gone silence reigned over once again.
Katsuragi stepped forward, his demeanour composed. "Yamamoto, you've made quite a statement here. But what's the endgame? Are you going to attack Ichinose's class now?"
"Whether I want to break her or her class depends on my mood."
"Fufufu, What an arrogant statement." Arisu interjected, "Was all this farce simply a way of getting Class D determined and not fooling around, or are you just revelling in power?"
Tatsuya's smirk widened. "Worth is subjective. Power, on the other hand, is undeniable, little girl."
"Little girl?" Ryuen who was enjoying the show suddenly laughed, "Kukuku, what an appropriate nickname."
"I'd rather have you not interrupt my conversation with Yamamoto-kun, Magneta-kun." She eyed Ryuen before turning back to Tatsuya.
"I hope you have enough power to match your arrogance. I'll be looking forward to it after doing a little clean up in my own class." She shot Katsuragi a glance and walked away, her cane rhythmically hitting the ground.
Kamuro followed behind her along with Hashimoto. Hashimoto looked at Tatsuya for a split second before smiling in a friendly manner.
Katsuragi shook his head and placed a hand on the shoulder of the raging Yahiko.
"It was interesting to meet you, Yamamoto but I'll advise you to change your ways. You don't have to let hate pile upon you, you were doing well before. Though I would like to ask how you gained so many points, I think you won't answer."
He too left with Yahiko following behind him.
Class A was also gone.
Tatsuya looked at the remaining four and felt confused, his gaze awkwardly travelling to the tall black guy with shades on.
Wasn't he from America? Wouldn't that make him a fellow countryman?
It would be fun to talk with him in English later.
"Why aren't you gone yet?"
While they were an interesting bunch, at the moment Tatsuya had no interest in them.
"Yamamoto. Prepare yourself, once I'm done with Ichinose and Sakayanagi I'll be going after you." His eyes were full of excitement and his wide grin reached his ears.
"Oh? Why didn't you mention Katsuragi?" Tatsuya had an idea why but he was curious to see what he would say.
"Don't act dumb with me, Yamamoto. You know exactly why. That little girl will make sure Katsuragi falls from his stance at trying to rival her before moving on to us. She's also got a few screws loose, unfortunately for the bald guy his righteousness will be his fall."
"I suppose you're right." Tatsuya nodded in agreement and started walking away. He could tell they would keep on talking if he stayed there.
Now that the exams were over and he had the class under his control it was time to target girls from other classes.
So far he had only touched girls from his own class but it was time to expand his domain.
He let out a little laugh as he walked away.
...
Ryuen chuckled but didn't follow him.
"Ryuen-san..." Ishizaki muttered
"What is it Ishizaki?"
"Why did you say that? Isn't it better to deal with Yamamoto first? He seems a bit scary..."
"He's not wrong on that... I don't like the vibes from that guy..." Ibuki muttered shuddering for a second. She didn't know if it was an illusion but she felt Tatsuya looking her up and down.
"Hmm? Are you trying to say he's scarier than me?" Ryuen gave him a glance from the side of his eye before walking towards his own class.
"Uh-," Ishizaki shook his head hurriedly, "No, no. That's not what I meant. I'm just saying he might cause trouble for the class while we deal with the others."
Albert nodded but didn't say anything.
"You're worrying about the wrong thing." Ryuen shook his head, "Yamamoto Tatsuya is a self-fulfilling person. From the earlier conversation, I can tell he won't focus on anyone but Ichinose. He won't stop till he completely destroys her class."
"Destroy her class...?" Ibuki questioned as Ryuen's expression turned serious for a moment.
"This person doesn't care about the class battles, Ibuki. He could easily establish dominance by expelling a bunch of students from our class or Class B but he instead chose to terrorise his own class."
"The problem with guys like him is that the more power they have the more unbridled they get. The most important point is finding out how he gained that many points, until I find out how he got those points it would be too dangerous to go against him. Don't underestimate the power of private points. You've just witnessed what he did with a few million points... That's why I decided to go against Ichinose and Sakayanagi and to make him busier I'll focus on Sakayanagi."
A light flickered in Ryuen's eyes.
"If he enjoys playing with Ichinose then let him. In the meanwhile, I'll find the perfect method to use against him." He looked towards his lackeys and grinned wildly, his eyes full of joy, "And... You're supposed to save the best for the last, right?"
