Aayonokoji Kiyotaka, the masterpiece of white room. A man who could defeat anyone whether in physical or intellectual sense in the school .And currently he was walking with a girl who claimed to be from alternate dimension who has just revealed to his class things they shouldn't have known .

"Seriously! What a bother . My ordinary life is fleeting dream at this rate . " He sighed.

Ever since Ayanokoji had left the class , there was a chaos going in the class . Hirata was clearly worried about all this development. He has barely learned of expulsion of one of his friends and now his classmates were fighting with each other. Was it all going to happen again? His dark eyes brimming with melancholy looked down as he remained seated in his seat . Chabishara sensei had left the class seeing the commotion .

"Horikita! What was Sawaki talking about ? Puppet leader ..and Sakayanagi." Onodera asked .

Horikita groaned internally. How was she supposed to handle this now ? It wasn't like she could depend on Ayanokoji for this . He clearly went against his promise to her and expelled Kushida.

Did he place no trust in her ? Oh well . She was sure if he comes here now , he would just say it was all her plan. Seriously! She wasn't sure if she wouldn't burst her bubble and resist the urge to stab him with compass then.

But still how did Sawaki knew about the meeting that Ayanokoji had with Sakayanagi? Even she didn't know that and her casual nature regarding knowledge of Ayanokoji being the true leader.

"Is it true , Suzune ? Has Ayanokoji betrayed the class? " Sudo looked at her .

"No ! Ayanokoji hasn't betrayed. He told me that Sakayanagi met him after sports festival but it was just regarding Katsuragi and Sakayanagi wanted to know if we supported his faction or hers?". Horikita quickly lied . .

"But why would Sakayanagi ask a such plain gloomy guy like him?" Shinohara asked as several girls and boys agreed.

"Isn't it obvious? It is because he hangs out a lot with Horikita so Sakayanagi obviously wanted to know her intentions without directly contacting her . " Karuizawa voiced . Karuizawa knew that it would only lead to trouble for her if Kiyotaka was ousted and gained attention . Oh ! Where he had gone with that girl at such a time leaving all things in chaos . Mou! Is it all part of his plan or is it something that he wanted to avoid. She wasn't even sure.

Many girls of karuizawa group agreed with her and when Horikita gave her affirmation , things started to calm down a bit.

"But still what did she mean by puppet leader !" Matsushita pointed out . She had been watching everything up till now but she knew that if she didn't hit the mark right now , then this class would just carry without any awareness on the path it had been now . She was definitely sure of Horikita being just the puppet leader but she was certainly not going to let her slip away now from all by half assed explanations .

As Horikita flinched a bit at sudden question , it didn't went unnoticed by Kesei, Haruka , Akito. They were silently watching it all as the class discussed about Ayanokoji and what shiori had said.

Everyone is Ayanokoji group was definitely in favour of Ayanokoji from the start. For them ,  betraying the class was out of question for their friend. Still Haruka was worried about the class opinion forming about their friend and just how will Kiyotaka deal with it?

Before Horikita could give an answer , the door suddenly opened as class attention was drawn towards the noise. Standing there was a person they had least expected to be . It was Kushida Kikoyu but the smile she wore on her face was something that gave chills to people.

Ike , Yamauchi and several others were shocked at her presence .

"Kushida! What are you doing here? I thought you were about to leave the school . Where is Satou? Didn't she .." Inogishsa began.

"Oh ! Shut up , will ya . As if I give a damn about you ." The next voice that came caused eyebrows of nearly every person to rise . Her eyes gave only one look to everyone standing there . The kind , gentle Kushida they had seen was definitely not there . There was something ..no ! her whole demeanor was malicious that shook many girls to core .

"No ! Kikoyo chan ! My whole fantasy..." Ike began with ugly tears streaming down his face .

"Did you know that I have always hated that pesky vermin gaze of you. Oh ! Have you taken a look at your ugly face in the mirror. Oh probably not ! Because you know even you know it sucks to see and yet you keep clinging like creep whenever I was here . Oh! How I wish you would stop calling my name from your sour vulgar mouth ? If you think anyone here is liking a shitbag like you, then they can only be another trash like you Shinohara ." The words came out so gilbly from her that soon the baffled class was contemplating whether the Kushida they knew was just a facade after all .

All girls could see for themselves the true nature of bi- polarised bitch for themselves now which had been kept clandestine uptill now.

Hirata who had been quiet until now couldn't take it anymore and urged her to stop when everyone was silent frozen but the class broke into even greater chaos when she pushed him back as he fell down headlong into pile of chairs with a painful expression contorting his face.

He was pained not by fall but by seeing the shattering unity of the class that he had strived to protect for so long . Everything was just crumbling down. Once again.. anyone..he just needed anyone to calm everything down again..

Ayanokouji'sPov

When I finally decided to head towards the class , I saw Kushida along the way retracing her steps in opposite direction. I was quite surprised that she was still here . I really didn't think it would take that long . But either way , all went according to my plan. I had already left Shiori a bit way back telling her to do something for me . She seemed to be too cooperative. Was she planning to induce sense of reliability in me on her ? 

I checked in the classroom and saw all sitting down in cold shiver . Everyone was wary of each other . I checked and confirmed that my target was not here now .

As I walked in the campus , I found Matsushita sitting on bench absorbed in a thought .I had already known she had been tailing me and glancing at me as she suspected me of holding back . There was really one way to neutralize such threat . I had to create a situation which confirm her belief and shatter it again.

I sat down besides her . The air sure was calm today .It was neither too fast nor too slow . Perfect calmness and plainness like I wanted my life to be.

"Ayanokoji! W-when did you arrive?" She suddenly shrieked looking at me . It was expected . Anyone would be fazed if they were sitting somewhere thinking and then look to see all of sudden someone sitting besides them.

"Tell me Matsushita! What do you think of weather?" I asked her .

"Huh! It is like everyday I guess.What...are you talking about? Do you know...." She began . It seemed she didn't quite understand the motive of such an absurd question right now. I suppose not.

It seemed Kushida got wary of me ever since I sent a recording to Ryun. It was logical reasoning to arrive at me for supposition of X especially after Horikita. But I knew in order to expel Kushida , I first need to make sure what she knows are what she believes only .

So throughout the whole paper shuffle , I kept dropping hints to Kushida leading her to suspect a second year guy to be X rather than me . Of course ! I knew that wasn't going to be enough to stop her from fibbing to class when she will be expelled that I have been pulling strings behind the scenes .

 But I need to make sure that when she is expelled and reveals secrets of class to everyone , my name is not mentioned even once . There was really one choice. I had Kei follow her and catch a video of her acting her true self . Then I had it sent to one second year guy with point transfer through a second account I created and asked him to threaten Kushida that if she reveals anything related to Horikita and class D leader situation , then it would be released to web for whole world to see now . 

I didn't specifically ask myself not to be mentioned because that would draw her attention to me . But now when she was expelled , even then she still couldn't reveal anything about me or Horikita . She knew it of course that Horikita and me had some part in this especially after bet we made with each other.

Then Kushida revealed secrets of everyone except Horikita and me which effectively destroyed class unity plus this will also smoke out attention of my and other classes from X . They would rather be more interested in instability of class D . It proved to be certainly useful especially because I didn't know about Shiori and her trying to reveal my past . But now , her little stunt still would drown in that chaos I had planned .

"Kushida ! You had already lost from the moment you tried to threaten me . I had already planned to get you expelled and was waiting for you to betray class. A person who would just be insecure about her past and people connected with it could do anything to get rid of the problem and from the moment you betrayed class in zodiac exam , you fell into my plan." I sighed.

Still! I had to complete what I had set in motion.

"Say Ayanokoji! Aren't you bit too calm about all this? Sure you keep your poker face always but you didn't even seem slightly bothered by class falling down . Did you perhaps plan it ?" The brown girl leaned closer curiously staring at him.

"Matsushita ! You already know who I am and what I am capable of . It is not like you will believe anything else. Isn't that right?" I looked at her with my emotionless eyes to which she nodded.

"Well! What would you do if I did?"

"I didn't think you would admit this easily. "

"I just like to avoid idle talk which cause attention. In about five minutes, break will began. I don't want people to think I am on a date."

"W- what .." She was caught off-guard by the sudden reply as her cheeks reddened

"Don't worry. I have no interest in you that way ." I told her.

"My! You are hurtful. Well if you planned this, then I want you to stop holding back , come out in front, unite the class and .."

"Aren't you also holding back ? Would you like me to tell people about you too?"

"I can't deny that . It is quite hypocritical of me to say these things to you but compared to me , I think you are holding back a lot more "

"So! Is this contest of "how much to exert effort. I am just an ordinary kid just bit above average."

"No! If you are average, then whole definition of world's average would have to change" She chuckled.

"Matsushita ! Right now Class D is in ruins . It is a good stage for your debut " I stood up brushing my coat.

"Huh! Wait ! Do you want me to replace Horikita and unite class while you continue to control from background." She raised her eyes.

"You are insightful and you don't have bad grades and popular with certain group of girls plus Horikita's reputation is clearly damaged right now. Best bet if that students of class D would think to follow someone like you. You are even capable of being perceived as X by Ryun if you play your cards right . Well he may be bit more perceptive ." As I started to walk away leaving her in trance.

Horikita was not able to take decisions that she should have taken. Even after knowing Kushida would only cause troubles , she didn't agree to expel her. I couldn't keep using her as a cover. I needed a new pawn and Matsushita was just right for it . She may think we are in new partnership like I had with Horikita but I never had any allies.

Self protection was the basic thing we learn in white room . Expeling Kushida was necessary measure because she would have definitely kept causing trouble for me . This small disaster was simply a means to achieve a perfect ordinary life in future with more reliable tools .

No matter what . This Shiori or Matsushita or Horikita or anyone,  I would deal with them all if they try to disrupt my peace and freedom of three years here .

who is your fav girl from Cote ? Mine is Kei.

Actually, I love Hiyori most .
