Classroom of the Elite: I Have the Ability to Read Minds! (COTE)

Chapter 54: Why Are You Shivering?

"I saw someone who spoils my appetite."

Curious, Ishizaki Daichi followed Ryuuen's gaze and saw Yuto.

The startled Ishizaki Daichi shrank back, hiding behind Ryuuen, trying to avoid Yuto's gaze.

Ishizaki Daichi cursed his own stupidity.

Of course, this was the only route from the dorm to the cafeteria for first-year students, increasing his chances of running into Yuto – yet he'd chosen to eat here anyway!

Although Yuto disliked delinquents, he wasn't one to provoke others without reason, so he walked past the delinquent group expressionlessly.

Sakura Airi, following behind her childhood friend, glanced at Ryuuen, who was covered in bandages and plasters, and lowered her head as she walked past them.

After Yuto and Airi walked past them, Ishizaki Daichi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Boss Ryuuen, are you really planning to go against that guy..."

"Of course, all these injuries are his doing," Ryuuen Kakeru said gloomily.

"What do you plan to do then?"

"...I don't know, I plan to dominate the whole Class C first, then find a way to deal with that guy."

Ryuuen Kakeru had no idea how to get back at Yuto.

A fight?

The unscathed appearance of Shimizu Yuto, compared to his own battered self, was enough proof that fighting was not an option.

Sabotage Shimizu Yuto's desk or locker?

It could provide temporary satisfaction, but it was not a solution and might even lead to another beating from the angry boy...

Recalling Yuto's ruthless and fierce gaze, Ryuuen felt a strange feeling that he had rarely experienced before.

A feeling called 'fear'.

Since elementary school, Ryuuen had realized that he was different; he never felt fear even when attacked by others.

Ryuuen would only think about revenge and turning the tables. Under his will and violence, all the bullies eventually bowed down to him.

Since then, he no longer understood what 'fear' was.

But now, from Yuto, he felt fear... because his past experience as a delinquent told him that this person named 'Shimizu Yuto' wanted him dead.

If not dead, then utterly destroy him.

Ryuuen recalled what Ishizaki had told him before.

That demon who detested delinquents had sent several to the hospital, with the two worst offenders having their spines seemingly broken...

And since those delinquents had committed several crimes, the demon who crippled them wasn't punished but was instead rewarded by the society.

'I have a feeling that he intended to break my spine when he stepped on my back this morning,' Ryuuen recalled being under Yuto's foot.

"Boss Ryuuen, why are you shivering?"

"...Nothing, it's just a bit cold tonight."

Ishizaki Daichi looked bewilderedly at the slightly trembling purple-haired delinquent.

It was already April; the nights this month were not that cold.

But, if Boss Ryuuen wasn't shivering from the cold, then why was he shivering?

During the bustling dinner time in the cafeteria, Sakura Airi, who was following behind her childhood friend, secretly tugged at his sleeve and pointed with her slender finger towards the cafeteria's special menu item.

Unagi (Eel) meal set — 13,000 points.

"Yuto, do you want to eat the unagi meal set? It's my treat."

"Isn't that a bit expensive?"

"Not at all, not at all! It's not expensive!"

"Then, Airi, it's up to you to decide."

"Um!"

PS: I regret to inform you that I will be reducing my focus on this fanfiction. Truthfully, I have invested more effort into this fanfic than my other two projects, yet support has significantly decreased recently. The only commitment I can make is to upload at least one chapter every week. I do not wish to drop this project entirely, if at all possible. Anyway, thanks for all your support!
