New Beginnings and Unexpected Changes

I left the elevator and headed towards my new classroom. For a moment, I stopped at the entrance of the dormitories, trying to see if anyone was there. However, I didn't see anyone, so I continued walking. I was expecting to see Ichinose, as we had been going to class together and it had become a routine. I thought we would go together today as well, but I guess that wasn't the case.

As I walked towards my new class, I stopped for a moment to admire the beauty of the trees surrounding the campus. Their green leaves danced gently in the morning breeze, creating a soft rustling sound that enveloped me. The sun filtered through the branches, casting golden gleams of light onto the path.

In the distance, I could hear the joyful singing of birds fluttering among the tree branches. Their melodies filled the air with a sense of life and freedom. It was as if nature itself was celebrating the beginning of a new day.

As I immersed myself in this natural environment, I felt a sense of freedom that I had never experienced before. The tranquility of the landscape and the sounds of nature surrounded me, giving me a sense of peace and serenity that I had never known.

I walked lightly, savoring every moment of this unique experience. Each breath was filled with the refreshing freshness of the morning air, while each step brought me closer to the intoxicating sense of freedom emanating from this environment. In that moment, I realized that I was savoring freedom for the first time in my life. I decided to hold onto these small moments and enjoy them to the fullest.

Upon arriving at my new classroom, I stopped for a moment to reflect and plan how I would present myself. My first presentation was a disaster, so I was determined to put in a little more effort this time to avoid failing again.

As I stood in front of the door, a soft voice resonated in my ears. To my right, a woman with brown hair delicately framing her face, honey-colored eyes radiating warmth and curiosity, and a charming figure exuding elegance and confidence, softly pronounced my name.

Her smile was captivating, illuminating the space around her as her lips gracefully moved while saying my name. Her voice, sweet and melodious, seemed to envelop me in an aura of mystery and allure.

Her features were delicate, her skin soft like velvet, and her gestures elegant and assured. Every movement she made seemed filled with grace and charm. Her presence was magnetic, drawing all eyes toward her.

Hoshinomiya: Good morning, Ayanokouji-kun! - greeted my new teacher with great energy in her voice.

Ayanokouji: Good morning, Hoshinomiya-sensei - I responded.

Hoshinomiya: Ayanokouji-kun, now that you are a student in my class, you can call me Chie-sensei, you know? - she said with a mischievous smile on her face.

Ayanokouji: It's not necessary, I will continue calling you Hoshinomiya-sensei - I replied.

Hoshinomiya: Come on, Kiyotaka-kun, you don't have to be so formal - she pouted cutely, which was inappropriate for someone nearing their 30s - From now on, you have to call me Chie-sensei, okay? - it seemed like I had no other option but to accept, as she would keep asking for it later.

Ayanokouji: Alright, I will call you Chie-sensei from now on - I said while mentally sighing.

Hoshinomiya: That's much better - she said with a satisfied smile on her face - now, wait here for a moment, as I have to inform everyone that they will have a new classmate - she said as she entered the classroom.

Hoshinomiya: Good morning, my dear students! I have a very important announcement to make - she said with great enthusiasm - Starting today, you will have a new classmate, and moreover, he is very attractive - I wondered if the last part was necessary.

Despite the announcement, no one showed surprise on their faces. Chie-sensei noticed this and tilted her head, showing confusion.

Hoshinomiya: Why aren't you surprised by the news, guys? - she asked curiously.

Amikura: Well, sensei, a few minutes ago, Honami-chan told us - he replied.

Hoshinomiya: Honami-chan, it seems like you're stealing my work - he said while looking at Ichinose with a pout on his face.

Ichinose: Hehehe, I'm sorry, Chie-sensei, I couldn't resist telling them - she said while clasping her hands in apology.

Hoshinomiya: Well, since everyone knows, you can come in, Kiyotaka-kun - she called me.

Everyone: Kiyotaka-kun?

Ayanokouji walked confidently towards the classroom, his gaze serious and piercing. His brown hair, straight and tousled, framed his calm and enigmatic face. His golden eyes shone with intelligence and keen observation, as if they could read the thoughts of those around him.

His posture was elegant and his stance upright, as if he was ready to face any challenge that came his way. Every movement he made was precise and controlled, showcasing innate physical prowess.

Ayanokouji's face reflected an enigmatic calm and hidden determination. His expression was impassive, showing no hint of emotion. It was difficult to read his thoughts or decipher his intentions, making him a fascinating enigma to those who observed him.

Despite his calm appearance, there was a spark of power and potential in his gaze. There was something magnetic about his presence, something that drew the attention of others without him making any effort.

As Ayanokouji stepped up to the podium, the other students in Class B watched him with admiration and curiosity. It was evident that he had sparked a special interest in them, intrigued by his mysterious aura and apparent mastery in various aspects of life.

Ayanokouji: Good morning, everyone. My name is Ayanokouji Kiyotaka. Although I don't usually show it, I am excited to join this class. I enjoy playing chess, playing the piano, and staying physically fit. I hope to contribute positively to the class and get along well with all of you.The other students in Class B warmly and friendly welcomed Ayanokouji, which was characteristic of this class.

Students: Welcome, Ayanokouji-kun! We are excited to have you here. If you need anything or have any questions, don't hesitate to ask for our help. Together, we will make this school year a success.

The class continued with an atmosphere of camaraderie and mutual support. Ayanokouji felt relieved to see the warm welcome and was excited for the opportunities that awaited him in his new school environment.

CLASS D

The students of Class D entered their classroom and took their respective seats to begin the class. Just as everyone was seated, their homeroom teacher, Chabashira Sae, entered the room. Those who were talking fell silent as they watched their teacher come in. Usually, their teacher always had a cold expression on her face, but for some reason, this time she seemed more serious than usual.

Akito: Sensei, why is Kiyotaka's desk missing? - he asked with a slight concern on his face.Haruka: That's true, I hadn't noticed. It's also strange that Kiyopon is late, he usually arrives early - Hirata also noticed the absence of Ayanokouji's desk and couldn't help but ask his teacher the reason.

Hirata: Sensei, why is Ayanokouji-kun's seat not here? - he asked, raising his hand.Chabashira: I was just about to inform you about that, Hirata, so pay attention - she says in a cold voice - the reason for the absence of the desk and the student Ayanokouji Kiyotaka is that he no longer belongs to Class D - her teacher dropped a bomb that left the classroom in silence for a few seconds before a student shouted.

Ike: THAT BASTARD!!!!

Yamauchi: THAT DAMN TRAITOR!!!

Shinohara: I knew it, besides being a pervert, he's a traitor!

Others: Yes, he betrayed us! - while most of them insulted Ayanokouji for being a traitor, Hirata tried to calm them down along with Kushida, although no one noticed that she had an expression of irritation on her face that quickly changed to a worried expression. At that moment, a loud noise resonated from the back, causing everyone to fall silent. It was none other than Horikita Suzune, the leader of the class.

Horikita observed her classmates with indignation as they continued to call Ayanokouji a traitor. Her face reflected her accumulated anger. Finally, she couldn't contain her frustration any longer and exploded: "That's enough! You're all hypocrites. All this time, you've insulted and wished to expel Ayanokouji-kun from the class. Now that he has transferred out to avoid further mistreatment, you call him a traitor. I can't believe the double standards you have. That's exactly what you wanted, for him to leave the class! Look, your wish has come true. He knew that in the next special exam, you would all conspire to expel him, so he had no choice but to transfer to another class. Please, use your brains for the first time in your lives and better understand the situation before insulting and accusing someone." Her words resonated in the classroom, leaving everyone silent, reflecting on their attitudes.

After Horikita expressed her indignation, the teacher intervened and instructed everyone to save the discussions for later, as she would begin her lesson. Although no one spoke after that, the impact of Horikita's words and the teacher's intervention left everyone in silence. The atmosphere in the classroom became tense and filled with silence as the teacher began her lesson.

Pov Kiyo

The last lesson of the day had ended, my new classmates were packing up their things to leave the classroom, and I was doing the same when someone called my name.

Ichinose: Ayanokouji-kun, I would love for you to join me and the rest of our classmates to celebrate a small welcome in your honor. What do you think?

Ayanokouji considered the invitation carefully. He thought about the positive aspects of attending, as it would give him the opportunity to meet new people and establish connections in his new class. Additionally, the fact that the celebration was in his name made him realize that not attending would be impolite and could create a negative impression among his classmates.

 With these thoughts in mind, he decided to accept the invitation and participate in the welcome.

Ayanokouji: Ichinose, I appreciate your invitation. I accept joining you and the rest of our classmates, it will be an interesting opportunity to get to know everyone and build relationships in this new environment.

Ichinose: I'm so glad you've accepted! So, what are we waiting for? - she said excitedly as she took my hand and led me to the karaoke where the celebration would take place.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ichinose: Guys, we finally made it! - she exclaimed while waving her hand enthusiastically to greet them.

Sayo: Well, it's about time you arrived. What took you so long? - she asked with a smile.

Ichinose: Well, it turns out that on the way, Ayanokouji-kun got tempted by a new ice cream that had come out and couldn't resist trying it - she informed, amused.

Minamikata: I didn't know you liked ice cream, Ayanokouji-kun! By the way, how did you like it? In my opinion, Stracciatella ice cream is smooth and creamy, with bits of dark chocolate mixed into the vanilla ice cream. It's a delightful combination that brings together the sweetness of the vanilla with the intense flavor of the chocolate. Every spoonful is a true pleasure for the palate. Do you agree? - I paused for a moment to recall the taste of the ice cream in order to give a satisfactory response before answering.

Ayanokouji: Stracciatella ice cream presents a harmonious combination of flavors. The smoothness of the vanilla perfectly blends with the subtle bitter notes of the dark chocolate. It's a balanced and satisfying dessert. However, I believe the proportion of chocolate flakes could be slightly improved to further highlight the contrast in textures.

Kanzaki: I'm impressed by your ability to critically evaluate even the smaller aspects of a gastronomic experience, Ayanokouji. You prove to be more analytical than I thought.

Amikura: Wow, I didn't know you knew so much about ice cream, Ayanokouji-kun! It's surprising to see how critical you are in your evaluations.

Minamikata: I agree with Ayanokouji-kun about the proportion of chocolate flakes in the ice cream. I think it could be slightly improved to enhance the contrast in textures.

After that, we had a brief conversation about ice cream, and then Amikura started singing, kicking off this little celebration. I had some fun as it was a new environment for me. They were very different from my usual classmates, more relaxed and friendly. It was also entertaining to see Amikura teasing the others. However, after several insistent requests, I was forced to sing. It turns out I'm a terrible singer, they said I sounded like a robot trying to sing. I promised myself I would never sing again. Then, quite some time passed, and the celebration came to an end.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It had been a week since my class change, and I must say that my life has changed quite a bit because of it. The days when I was alone were decreasing more and more, as my classmates invited me to hang out regularly. So, I was almost never alone. Among my activities, I would hang out with Ayanokouji's group and go to the library to chat with Hiyori. I had my schedule filled like never before.

Speaking of Ayanokouji's group, I thought they would be angry with me, but to my surprise, they weren't. They understood that I was having a hard time in Class D and that they would probably try to expel me in the next special exam. So, it was better to transfer to another class before being expelled. Airi and Haruka were a bit sad since we wouldn't be able to meet as often, but Akito was happy that I was doing well in my new class, and Keisei agreed with that. They told me that Class D hated me even more than before, and that even Hirata was angry with them because they forced me to transfer due to the mistreatment. Horikita is more serious than usual. In short, Class D is going through tense moments right now, but I couldn't care less.

Shibata: "Hey, good morning, Ayanokouji," he greeted me energetically.

Kanzaki: "Good morning, Ayanokouji."

Amikura: "Good morning, Ayanokouji-kun. Your hair is messy," she said.

Ayanokouji: "Good morning, everyone. Well, about my hair, I heard that messy hair is in style, so I left it like that."

Hoshinomiya: "Good morning, my lovely students. Please take your seats," she greeted with a

 big smile. As I made my way to my desk, someone tapped my shoulder.

Ichinose: "Good morning, Ayanokouji-kun," she greeted with a bright smile.

Ayanokouji: "Good morning, Ichinose," I returned the greeting.

Ichinose: "Ayanokouji-kun, stay still for a moment," she said. I didn't know why, but I complied with her request. Then, Ichinose significantly reduced the distance between us, allowing the scent of her shampoo to reach my nose.

Ichinose: "Your tie is poorly done," she said as she adjusted my tie. It's not that I didn't know how to do it, it was just that it ended up like that. "There you go, make sure to put it on properly next time," she warned. I could tell that most people were looking at us.

Amikura: "Hoho, I knew you two were close, but I didn't think it was that close," Amikura said, probably trying to tease us.

Ichinose: (blushes slightly) W-Well, Mako-chan, it's not exactly what you're thinking. I was just helping Ayanokouji-kun with his tie. - she said a bit nervously.

Amikura: (smirks) Oh, well, well. Are you sure about that, Honami-chan? Because it looked pretty close at that moment. - she said mockingly.

Hoshinomiya: While I would also like to know more about Honami-chan's relationship with my Kiyotaka-kun, it will have to wait for another time - she said, emphasizing the word "MY".

Hoshinomiya: Now that everyone is present, it's time to begin the special exam.
