Chapter 19 - Hosen Strikes!

Suzuki's Dorm

Suzuki woke up to smell something. He got up and walked to the main living area to see Kiyomi cooking breakfast. She was wearing an apron, and her hair was tied in a ponytail.

"Kiyomi?"

"Sorry for walking in without telling you. I thought you could use a good meal for breakfast. I didn't want to wake you so I used the spare key you gave me. "

Suzuki nodded, sitting down at the table. He was still sore from last night. Kiyomi didn't seem sore at all. Like she was full of energy. If anything, she seemed to be glowing a bit.

'What the? She looks even more beautiful than usual.'

He looked at the love mark on Kiyomi's neck and smirked, but then remembered the one on his neck.

'How am I going to hide that?'

He pressed his forehead with his fingers.

"Um Kiyomi. Please hide the love mark."

"Hm? Yeah I will. I was only kidding last night so please hide yours as well."

Suzuki nodded when Kiyomi set down some tea for him. He took a sip as he paused.

'Isn't this kind of setting the same as Mom and Dad's typical morning?'

Suzuki looked at Kiyomi and smiled.

'It's like having a wife.'

He stretches.

'It feels good.'

Kiyomi set down the food and sat down across from him.

"I hope you don't mind but I made some for myself."

"That's fine. Let's eat."

Suzuki clasped his hands together.

"Thank you for the meal."

He started to eat the food.

'Delicious as always.'

Kiyomi ate her food and drank her tea.

Homeroom

Kiyomi walked into the room as the girls looked surprised.

"Woah. You're practically glowing Kiyomi-Chan."

Kushida said this while hugging Kiyomi.

"Um thanks."

Chiaki nodded.

"You seem like you're in a better mood too."

"I do?"

"Yeah."

Sato agreed. Kiyomi saw Suzuki looking over as she smiled slightly.

"Woah! She smiled!"

Here face went monotone.

"Sato-San. Don't make me sound like a depressed person."

"Hehe. Sorry."

Kiyomi sat next to Suzuki as a redness in his cheeks flared up.

'Ugh last night. I can't get it out of my head.'

"I'm gonna get some fresh air okay?"

Kiyomi nodded.

"Sure. Sensei isn't here yet so it should be fine."

Suzuki stepped out as Kushida followed him. He went to the fountain and washed his face when Kushida walked up and glared at him.

"I saw the love mark you perverted asshole! How dare you defile my best friend!"

"Will you lower your voice?"

Kushida gritted her teeth.

"Why are you making it sound like I did something horrible? It was consensual you know."

"You bastard."

"If anything I felt like I was the one being hunted."

"..."

"..."

"What the fuck?"

Suzuki blushed.

"It's nothing!"

"Wait. You're telling me she's the one who had to get it started?"

Kushida started laughing.

"Fucking wimp."

"Shut it!"

Kushida smirked as Suzuki sighed.

"Let's just get back to class."

Kushida nodded, wiping the tears from her laughter from her face.

After Class

Kiyomi sat down on a bench as Kiryuin walked over.

"So my student. Did the techniques I taught you work well?"

"They did. I'm think he had a good time."

"That's only the tip of the iceberg. I can tell you about a lot of other things you know."

"Eh?"

Kiryuin smirked.

"So do you want to learn?"

"Um I think I'll pass. I don't want our relationship to hinge too much on sex."

"Kay Kay. I mean my relationships aren't the same as yours."

Kiyomi nods.

Karaoke Place

Suzuki arrived outside and saw Sudo.

"Hey, Horikita."

"Hey, Sudo."

Suzuki sat down beside him.

"Hey how badly am I losing?"

"If I told you lost would you stop giving effort for the class?"

"Seriously it's always with the class for you man. The only thing other than that is Kiyomi."

"But you understand that don't you?"

"Yeah, I do. It's your goal to reach Class A. At the same time you love Kiyomi. I get it."

"Tell me honestly though. If you lost what would you do?"

Sudo sighed.

"I'd probably sulk for a few days but giving up and not giving it my all anymore would be pretty lame after all the effort she put into a loser like me so I'd bounce back."

"I see."

'You're a remarkable person Sudo Ken.'

Kiyomi walked over.

"Let's go in and wait for them inside."

They got up and nodded.

'Remember Suzuki. Appeal to future alliances in which we can help them without asking for Private Points. That's the best way.'

They arrived and waited for Hosen and Nanase. They entered and sat down across from the three.

"Hey so you wanted to beg for my help?"

"Suzuki sighed.

"I wanted us to form a mutual partnership."

"Mutual partnership? The fuck are you talking about. We have the high ground."

"Perhaps but you'd gain a better high ground if you helped us now."

"Huh?"

"If you did us this favour in which both of us benefit you can ask us a favor later on even if only you benefit."

"The fuck? Why would I agree to that? You'd just go back on your word."

"Not if the contract is signed and shown to a teacher. That would result in the punishment of the party that broke the agreement."

Nanse then spoke up.

"Hosen-Kun. This is a good exchange."

"Shut up Nanase."

Suzuki then spoke up.

"If you wish to sabotage us wouldn't it be better at a time when you can call it a favor for a rival class?"

"Huh?"

"If such a situation presents itself you could tell our opponent that you can make us lose. Then call in the favor to put us at a disadvantage."

"You'd allow that? The fuck?"

"If it comes to that we'd just have to win despite the disadvantage"

Suzuki looked determined. He had planned this out with Kiyomi, who was responsible for refining his thought process that led to this smooth reasoning. Nanse then looked at Hosen.

"Hosen-Kun. This is a good situation for us. We should accept this."

"Nah fuck that."

"What? Why?"

Suzuki expressed his confusion as he saw from the corner of his eye that Kiyomi was evaluating Hosen.

'Kiyomi figured something out huh?'

Hosen smirked.

"You think I'm dumb? You really think I'd believe that our years would participate in the same exams often?"

"There is a mixed training camp every year. All the years are involved."

Nanase confirmed this.

"I asked some Senpais. They told me that the leader of Classes 3A, 3B, 3C and 3D take leadership and take in their Kohais in and exam."

"An what if we're placed in the same fucking group? Wouldn't that fuck it up?"

Suzuki then sighed.

"It's at the very least unlikely for that to happen twice so you'll get a chance eventually."

"This deal ain't worth it. Fuck off and hand over the 500K."

Suzuki sighed.

'It honestly feels like he's just trying to... trying to sabotage us. Wait... does he not care about Class A? No I feel like I'm missing something. Ugh. What am I missing?'

"If you want us to help then cough up the 500K."

Nanase then spoke up.

"Hosen-Kun don't do this. If we make an enemy of the Second Year Classes it could be disastrous later on if they are put in the advantageous position instead of us."

"Shut up Nanase. I'm not changing my mind. 500K."

Suzuki sighed.

"Then the negotiations are over. When you've grown up a bit and become more mature come back to us."

Suzuki stood up when Hosen threw his drink in Suzuki's face, as Sudo stood up.

"The hell is wrong with you."

Suzuki held Sudo back.

"It's fine. He's just acting out. Throwing a tantrum like a child. Let's leave."

The three left, and Hosen and Nanase followed them.

"There no point in following us Hosen. The deal is over. Come back when you're willing to act like an adult."

"You're really mouthing off aren't ya? You fucker."

Suzuki ignored him.

"Then how about this? You lend us 1 million Private points and we'll think about helping you."

"I already told you I won't be giving you such an extravagant amount of Points."

"Then how about I rough you up."

"Rough us up? Are you delusional? I'm willing to admit I don't stand a chance against you in a one-on-one fight, but if Sudo and I worked together, you'd be the one in a bad spot.'

'Not to mention that Kiyomi is here.'

"You really that confident? Then try it!"

"I have no intention of instigating a fight."

Suzuki held out his arm, stopping Sudo.

"Neither does Sudo."

Sudo sighed, restraining his anger.

"Then how about we talk a bit more? Somewhere more private and less crowded."

Suzuki sighed.

'Is it worth giving him another chance? Well with the three of us here I think it'll be fine. I just have to keep my guard up.'

"Fine."

Secluded Area

Hosen smirked.

"If you give us 2 million points I'll guarantee that our class will help you. We'll even return the 2 million when if you return the favor later on."

Suzuki sighed.

"You're being more reasonable but I already told you that we won't be making any kind of exchange of Private Points."

Hosen smirked.

"Hey now. You sure about this?"

"Yes. It was a waste of time to..."

Suzuki suddenly jumped back, avoiding a direct hit in exchange for being grazed from a kick to the arm.

'This bastard! All of a sudden!'

Hosen smirked.

"You ready to give up?"

Sudo got pissed.

"You fucking!"

"Sudo stop! Do not engage!"

'This all feels strange. Does he need to instigate a fight for some reason? But why? Ugh! Damn it I can't figure it out! What the hell is this guy's goal?'

Hosen smirked.

"Fucking pussies."

Sudo got annoyed but simply backed off as he and Suzui stood between Hosen and Kiyomi.

"What is she your princess? It looks like you two are actually lackies and she's the actual leader."

'He's not wrong.'

Suzuki sighed.

"Then Ayanokoji Kiyomi. I'll offer you a proposal. Bend over for me and I'll help your class."

Suzuki gritted his teeth.

"You fucking!"

Sudo jumped out, trying to punch Hosen, who dodged and nailed him in the gut as Sudo keeled over onto his knees.

"Ugh. You fucking ass..."

Hosen kicked him in the face.

"...hole."

Sudo fell unconscious as Suzuki gritted his teeth.

"Kiyomi. Just stay behind me."

Hosen walked over.

"Oi oi. Don't you care about this dumbass? Bend over already before I target this fucker next."

Kiyomi stayed silent as Suzuki stayed in front of her. Hosen took out a knife.

'What the! That's my knife! The one I bought with... Amasawa! That little!'

Suzuki sweated as he reached for his phone.

"Don't even think about it or Sudo gets it."

Suzuki clicked his tongue in annoyance.

'Damn it.'

Nanase stepped up.

"Please stop Hosen-Kun. You're taking this too far."

"Shut it. Nanase!"

He pushed her out of the way onto the grass when Kiyomi walked up to Hosen.

"Kiyomi?"

"Too late bitch. Now you gotta be mine."

Kiyomi kicked the ground as dust got into Hosen's eyes.

"You fucking bitch!"

Suzuki acted quickly, recovering Audo and pulling him away.

"You die bitch!"

"Kiyomi!"

Hosen raised the knife as Kiyomi lunged forward, forcing him to stab her hand. Suzuki looked at the scene in horror.

"You fucking asshole!"

Hosen looked dumbfounded.

"The fuck you doing you bitch?"

"Hosen. You were planning to stab yourself and blame it on Suzuki. Then I'd be forced to take the blame and I'd be expelled. Isn't that right?"

'Wait what?'

"You. Who the fuck are you?"

"Hosen. You've stabbed my hand and your fingerprints are all over the handle."

"You!"

Hosen tried to free his hand, but Kiyomi stopped him using her free hand to take out a phone to show it was recording.

"You've honestly got no way out of this."

Hosen looked pissed.

'She was recording everything?'

"Fucking bitch! Staying silent to not get in the way of the recording!"

"There's only one option left for you Hosen. Team up with our class or be expelled."

Hosen gritted his teeth.

"Fine."

"Remember I have your confirmation recorded and if you decided to go back on it this full recording will be released."

Hosen gritted his teeth as Kiyomi loosened her grip, and Hosen let go. He walked away utterly defeated as Suzuki rushed over to Kiyomi.

"Oh my god! Your hand. We have to get you to a nurse!"

Kiyomi nodded.

"Let's go."

'Was it that she was the target this entire time? But why? What would be the point of that?'

Suzuki was in a panicked state, leading her away as Nanase sat down next to Sudo. She clearly intended to keep watch over him until he woke up.

'Kiyomi. There's so much about you I don't know.'
