The first class we visited felt slightly odd. Although it had the same basic layout, it felt like we came to a completely different place. I corrected my initial misunderstanding that a home and an away game were only slightly different. Since we didn’t know if the class would be an enemy or an ally, our initial impression of the class was also different. Even Ike and Yamauchi were shocked; they couldn’t move from the doorway.

Being the only one unfazed, Kushida started talking to her friends with a smile right after she entered the classroom. What an amazing attitude. She was able to easily chat with her friends regardless of their gender, similar to how she acted with class D. I wouldn’t be able to do the same.

The two who were the most jealous were Ike and Yamauchi. Kushida was talking and having fun with people who were clearly more attractive.

“D-Damn it! There are way too many guys aiming for my Kushida-chan!”

What do you mean… What kind of dialect is that?[1]

“Don’t panic Ike, it’s alright. We’ve have an advantage: we’re in the same class as Kushida-chan!”

Feeling annoyed, the prideful two comforted each other. Although there were only 10 people in the room, Kushida started explaining the situation to those who were there.

Class B’s atmosphere felt the same as Class D, certainly not someone one would expect from a bunch of honor students. It wasn’t stiff at all and, contrary to how I imagined them, there were people who dyed their hair while some of the girls were wearing skirts that were too short.

I guess you couldn’t judge a book by it’s cover. Or was there something other than academic ability that Class B was better than Class D at? This school’s system still had way too many mysteries.

It’s bothersome to think about these things.

As this was Kushida’s lead, I left her to take care of things.

Trying not to be noticed by the others, I took a few steps back from the doorway.

“I want to go home…”

I didn’t want them to hear me complaining to myself.

Out on the field, I saw the track and field club running laps around the track.

Since the air conditioning was comfortable, I didn’t feel like going outside.

“The sports club sure is working hard.”

Having finished scouting out class B, Ike joined me in looking out of the window. He’s a fickle guy; this wait must have been boring for him.

“People who participate in club activities are stupid.”

“What’s with the sudden thought? You know that saying those kind of things will turn half the school against you, don’t you?”

I didn’t know the exact number, but I estimated that around 60 to 70 percent of the students participated in club activities,

“Where’s the merit in such a harsh training regimen? If they like to exercise, they should just do it as a hobby.”

It was strange to consider club activities solely as a benefit or a drawback.

Participating in clubs had its benefits. One was able to socialise with others, as well as experience success and failure. These were experiences not included in academics. Furthermore, members of the go home club wouldn’t receive the benefits of being in a club.

“I guess.”

I waited for Kushida’s report for the next few minutes, but I didn’t get what I was expecting.

[1]. When Ike says there are “way too many guys aiming for Kushida-chan”, he says “suginai”, which is spelled in kanji as “Sugiuchi”, a famous baseball player. Apparently this is a meme that Ayanokouji also doesn’t understand when he says, “Is this some kind of dialect?” (I don’t really know the meme either but it exists.)
