Stepping out of the teachers' office, the warm sunlight washed over him.
After stretching and yawning, Ren considered his next activity.
I've decided. What beautiful weather. I should go sketching.
After buying pencils, paper, and a drawing board from the shopping mall on the street, Ren started looking for a suitable location.
"Hello, student. Can you draw a portrait of me?"
"I'm sorry, senpai. I don't draw people."
Ren declined many upperclassmen who wanted to be his model. He found a secluded path near the sea that few people visited.
Choosing a relatively hidden spot, Ren began his sketching.
Kikyō Kushida also left the classroom to avoid classmates asking her to borrow points.
She urgently needed a place to vent. If she chose her personal dorm room, she was afraid someone would come looking for her halfway through her venting.
To ensure no one could disturb her, she came to the seaside, which she had observed for many days to be deserted.
Standing by the fence that surrounded the whole island, Kikyō Kushida allowed the slight sea breeze to blow over her face.
These gusts of sea wind did not calm the negative emotions in her heart; instead, they were like sharp blades, stinging her face painfully.
Bang!!!
She punched the railing. The railing trembled slightly from the excessive force. The back of Kikyō Kushida's hand, which hit the railing, looked completely red.
But Kikyō Kushida acted as if she couldn't feel it, punching the railing again and again to vent her emotions.
The sound of flesh hitting metal, the humming sound of the railing trembling, and the crashing sound of waves hitting the shore…
This brought Ren, who was absorbed in sketching, back to his senses, and he noticed Kikyō Kushida, who had arrived at the seaside sometime earlier.
Interesting.
Ren did not interrupt Kikyō Kushida's outburst.
He found the hidden, dark side of this seemingly kind girl from Class D surprisingly to his liking.
Kikyō Kushida, still venting, was completely unaware of Ren in the bushes behind her.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
She stopped hammering the railing. Her body's warning signs told Kikyō Kushida that her physical exertion had reached its limit.
But the negative emotions she wanted to expel from her body were still far from reaching their limit.
"Kei Karuizawa, that damned cheap bitch! Just because she's Yōsuke Hirata's girlfriend, she thinks she's amazing."
"And Suzune Horikita, that fake high-and-mighty girl. What is she doing at this school? Is she sick!"
"So annoying, so annoying! Why the hell am I in Class D."
"And those boys in Class D, they're disgusting. I feel like throwing up just looking at them."
"These people really deserve to die."
Kikyō Kushida vented the resentment in her heart.
To befriend everyone around her, she had to constantly put on a smiling face, even when those boys in Class D were discussing vulgar topics behind her back.
She could only pretend not to hear and then continue to socialize with those people with a smile.
$$I've had enough. I've had enough. I've truly had enough.$$
Kikyō Kushida had indeed managed to befriend many people at school, but the quality of her friends varied.
Having witnessed the quality of the first-year Class A students and comparing it to the quality of the friends she made in Class D made her even more unbalanced.
Sometimes Kikyō Kushida would wonder if things would be much better if she were in the current Class A.
When chatting or shopping with Class A friends, Kikyō Kushida inevitably saw Airi's current situation.
Kikyō Kushida envied Airi's current change.
"Done~"
Ren, having finished his drawing, did not lower his voice.
"Who is it? Who is there?"
Ren's voice, neither loud nor small, sounded like a thunderclap to Kikyō Kushida, making her heart tremble.
My deepest secret… has been discovered?
With a glance, Kikyō Kushida saw Ren in the bushes, making no attempt to hide himself.
Seeing that the person who made the sound was Ren, Kikyō Kushida was startled, then put on her signature smile and greeted him: "Katsuragi, when did you arrive?"
Not being sure when he arrived, Kikyō Kushida held onto a sliver of hope.
Ren, who could give her 80,000 points for a first apology fee and then lend her 300,000 points without hesitation, was someone Kikyō Kushida was wary of.
If it were an ordinary student, Kikyō Kushida could turn the tables and use her persona to suppress and destroy them beforehand.
But Ren was no unknown figure.
The newcomer who led Class B to Class A in the first month, the true leader of the current Class A, and a student with a huge amount of points.
These titles were enough to dazzle any first-year student.
As for Honami Ichinose, whom everyone called the leader of Class A?
Please, stop. Kikyō Kushida had interacted with Honami and clearly knew she was a genuinely good-natured person.
This kind of person could unite a class but could never lead a class to victory.
"When did I arrive? Let me think… probably half an hour earlier than you, Kikyō." Ren pretended to think, then gave an answer that made Kikyō Kushida despair.
Half… half an hour?
This meant that Ren had seen and heard everything.
Kikyō Kushida fell silent. She didn't ask Ren for a precise time; she wanted him to say he had just arrived.
Even if Ren was lying, she could comfort herself, forcing herself to believe the young man was telling the truth.
Avoidance is shameful, but it works.
But Kikyō Kushida didn't expect Ren to be so honest, so honest that she was speechless, leaving her without a clue what to do.
Beg him not to tell anyone what happened today?
Impossible.
That would be handing leverage over to Ren. If she did that, she would forever be under his control.
Sigh, I'm sorry, Katsuragi.
Kikyō Kushida, having weighed the pros and cons in her mind, instantly dropped the smile on her face, replacing it with the coldness that was already ingrained in her bones.
She slowly walked to Ren, who was still smiling in the bushes: "In that case… Ren, you saw everything?"
"Yes, Kikyō. I saw absolutely everything~"
Looking at Kikyō Kushida, who had approached him, with great interest, Ren was very curious about her next move.
He didn't care if he exposed Kikyō Kushida's two faces or not, but her current appearance…
It's just…
Wonderful!
"Is that so?"
Kikyō Kushida took Ren's right hand and, without giving him a chance to react, pressed it against her chest.
She then looked at Ren with disgust.
"Katsuragi, you are sexually harassing me."
