Kiyotaka POV

Kiyo: "have you seen it?"

Tatsuya: "yeah. Ichinose suddenly returns to school right?"

Kiyo: "good for her I guess."

Tatsuya: "I assume she will make a clarification now."

Kiyo: "right. But first, lets head to class."

Me and Tatsuya just went to class.

Timeskip, lunch break

I just went outside with Tatsuya to have my lunch break, eating lunch in the class is not so peaceful.

And we saw it.

A totally large crowd infront of class B.

Students from each grade are there, Sakayanagi and her goons, Ryuuen's goons. Even Ryuuen himself is right there.

Kiyo: "lets get closer."

Tatsuya just nods and we got closer.

Ichinose looked at us for a while until she finally took a deep breath and started speaking.

Arisu: "I wonder what will happen here, fufufu."

Sakayanagi finally spoke.

Shibata: "What are you doing here, Sakayanagi!?"

Arisu: "What am I doing here, you ask? Why, I've come to rescue everybody in Class B, you know?"

Everyone was confused by her statement.

Honami: "I wonder what you mean by that, Sakayanagi-san."

Ichinose spoke up from deeper within the classroom, surrounded by several of her classmates.

Kanzaki: "Wait, Ichinose. You don't need to get involved with this."

Mako: "Yeah! Don't do this Honami-chan!"

Arisu: "To start things out, congratulations on your recovery. In fact, I wanted to reach out to you earlier, but I've been quite busy studying for the exam. Nevertheless, I'm quite happy for you. You're just in time for the end-of-year exam tomorrow."

Honami: "Yes. Thank you."

The two of them spoke to each other from a distance.

It was perfectly clear that every single student from Class B was looking at Sakayanagi with hostility.

Tatsuya: "those class B bunch are looking quite tense."

Kiyo: "what can I say, its totally expected. Sakayanagi is the prime suspect after all."

However, Sakayanagi didn't seem shaken by their unity at all. Rather, she seemed to be enjoying the feeling of being in enemy territory.

Kanzaki: "You said you were here to 'rescue' us, Sakayanagi?"

Arisu: "Correct."

Responding to Kanzaki's question, Sakayanagi nodded and let show a bright smile.

Kanzaki: "Does that mean... you admit to spreading the rumors?"

'If you came here to apologize, I guess I kind of get what you mean by 'rescue'.' Kanzaki mumbled.

Arisu: "I'm not the one who spread the rumors."

Kamuro literally told me you're the one who spread the rumours but oh well.

Kanzaki: "...If that's the case, then what are you getting at?"

Arisu: "In the past, there were rumors saying that Ichinose-san was maintaining a large sum of points, remember? At the time, the school announced that there was no foul play going on, so those rumors subsided almost immediately."

Kanzaki: "What about it?"

In order to prevent Ichinose from saying anything, Kanzaki responded without missing a beat.

Arisu: "This may be nothing but my own imagination, but... there are very few methods available for someone to get their hands on such a large sum of points without breaking any rules. For example, one could periodically collect private points from all of their classmates, gathering them together under a single person. In short, they would be playing the role of a bank, and I've determined that Ichinose-san is carrying this very responsibility for Class B."

Kanzaki: "That's not something I can say."

Kanzaki's response was only natural. After all, it was directly related to Class B's internal affairs.

Arisu: "Indeed. I didn't come here looking for a response to that in the first place. It's just that... If, for instance, Ichinose-san truly does play the role of a bank like I've surmised... I think that may be a very dangerous situation for all of you."

As she spoke, Sakayanagi directed her gaze toward Ichinose, who was intently staring back at her.

Arisu: "Am I mistaken? Ichinose Honami-san?"

Sakayanagi's question was truly cruel. It had certainly managed to force Ichinose into desperation.

Unable to do anything but respond with silence, Ichinose had finally been cornered, driven to the very brink of a sheer cliff.

Tatsuya: "I wonder what will happen next."

Kiyo: "Sakayanagi's really good at playing with words huh."

Tatsuya: "however, she's already failed."

Yes. That's right.

Sakayanagi will not suceed.

Honami: "Could you give me a little space? Chihiro-chan. Mako-chan."

Mako: "B-but!"

Honami: "It's okay. You don't need to be worried about me. I'll be alright."

Ultimately, Ichinose faced not toward Sakayanagi, but to all of her classmates throughout the classroom.

Honami: "...Everyone, I'm sorry!"

Standing before the teacher's podium, Ichinose bowed her head in apology to the students of Class B.

Kanzaki: "wait, what are you apologizing for, Ichinose?" asked Kanzaki who's confused.

Arisu: "fufufu, don't try to stop her, Kanzaki kun."

Even though she knew she will not suceed, Sakayanagi looked at Ichinose with interest.

Honami: "This past year... The secret I've been hiding all along..."

Kanzaki: "Hold on Ichinose. You don't have to say anything else right now."

but she didn't back down.

Honami: "There have been many strange rumors going around about me these past few weeks, and one of them isn't just a baseless rumor. Just as it was written on the forum... I am a criminal."

As Ichinose spoke these words, Sakayanagi showed a satisfied smile.

Random class B: "Is that true?"

Class B is clearly shaken by this.

Ryuuen: "kukuku, now that's interesting. I wonder what our family friendly girl did?"

Ryuuen, who has been silent all the time finally spoke.

Arisu: "I wonder, fufufu."

Honami: "I-"

Ichinose stopped and gulped nervously.

Honami: "I've kept this from all of you... but I'll confess it all right now."

Declaring such, Ichinose finally began to speak about the past that she had kept buried within.

Honami: "I... was a shoplifter..."

The shoplifting honor student, Ichinose Honami.

In light of her unexpected revelation, the surprise was great enough that it managed to impact spectators outside of Class B, such as Ryuuen's goons.

After all, Ichinose really didn't come across as the type of student who would do such a thing.

Mako: "Honami-chan... a shoplifter...? R-really?"

Honami: "Yes. I'm sorry Mako-chan."

Ryuuen: "oh? how interesting. Who knew the Family friendly girl would do such a thing."

(A/N: No, Ichinose is far from family friendly because of her dirty mind.)

Kanzaki: "be quiet Ryuuen. You already retired."

Ryuuen: "Indeed, I've retired. But there is no restrictions for me to become playful right? kukuku."

Arisu: "anyways, please continue, Ichinose san."

Honami: "I came from a family with no father, living with my mother and my sister one year younger than me. While we weren't very well-off, we were never unhappy. My mother had it hard, working full-time as she raised two children all by herself. That's why, ever since elementary school, I planned to get a job after finishing middle school. After all, it would cost a lot of money to go to high school, so I wanted to find a job to help my mother support my younger sister instead. But, my mother was against it. I think that, just as I, an older sister, sincerely wished for my younger sister's happiness, my mother wished for the happiness of both of her daughters."

(A/N: foreshadowing. Find the clue hehe)

Ichinose opened up about her past.

Honami: "I understood that, even without money, if I studied as hard as possible, I'd be able to make use of the student scholarship system. So, I studied hard. I developed my skills as I managed to reach the top of the school. But... just like that, during the summer of my third year of middle school... my mother pushed herself too hard and collapsed."

It seemed that, in order to support her family's livelihood, Ichinose's mother had overworked herself.

She had given up her own body, all for the sake of raising her children.

Honami: "It was almost my younger sister's birthday. For as long as I could remember, she had never asked for anything from either of us. She was still in her first year of middle school, so it would've been acceptable for her to act a little spoiled sometimes, yet she always managed to hold herself back. Instead of getting the clothes she wanted, or accompanying her friends as they played or went shopping together, she just put up with all of it and held herself back from asking for anything. And then, that selfless little sister of mine... expressed that she wanted something for the very first time. A golden bracelet that her favorite celebrity wore back then. My mother undoubtedly overloaded her schedule in order to buy my sister that bracelet."

However- Due to her sudden hospitalization, she was no longer able to get her daughter that birthday present.

Honami: "I can still remember everything. My mother, sobbing as she apologized from her bed in the hospital. The face of my sister as she showered our mother with all the ridicule and blame she could produce. The face of my sister as she cried and screamed about the bracelet she was looking forward to getting. Even then, I still wasn't able to blame her. The only gift she had ever asked for..."

Sakayanagi listened to Ichinose's confession with an unwavering smile on her face.

Honami: "As the elder sister... I thought that I had to find a way to return my sister's smile. So, after school on the day of her birthday, I went to the store."

By now, you could tell that she was just as anxious as she was back then.

Honami: "My feelings back then were surely shrouded in darkness. I told myself that it was okay... That it wasn't a big deal to do something sinful, just once, for the sake of my younger sister. After all, there were so many people in the world constantly doing bad things. The feelings I was holding inside... That there was no reason for my family, who had always held back, to be blamed for my actions. I told myself that it would be acceptable, that it would be forgiven... Back then, that was my selfish, egotistical interpretation of reality. The bracelet that would normally cost over 20,000 yen... The bracelet that my sister wanted so desperately... I stole it for her."

So that's why she was able to snatch Ishizaki's phone easily.

Honami: "Even though it was a decision that I knew would make everyone unhappy, I still wanted to do something for my sister."

That desire of hers was the cause for all of this.

Honami: "...But, that's still no excuse, is it?"

Ichinose mumbled quietly.

Honami: "In the end, a crime is a crime. No matter what you do to repent, your sin will never go away."

She expressed her thoughts in a disconnected manner.

Snek: "so you got caught?"

In response to Hashimoto's question, Ichinose simply shook her head.

Honami: "I just left the department store with the bracelet. It was the first time I ever shoplifted, the first time I ever committed a crime. Nobody found out. Immediately afterward, I went home and presented the bracelet to my sulking little sister. But, because it had just been stolen, it hadn't been wrapped yet, so it was a really sloppy present. Still, she was so happy. When I saw her smiling face, for an instant, the guilt of what I had just done faded a bit. But, that didn't last very long. The pounding guilt in my heart just continued to grow."

Ichinose's smile was full of self-ridicule.

Honami: "After all, doesn't it seem impossible for a mother to fail to notice when her daughter's done something sinful? Even though I had told my sister to keep the present a secret, she wore it the next time we went to visit our mother in the hospital. And why wouldn't she? There was no way my sister would've thought that I had stolen it for her. That time... That time was the first time in my life where I had ever seen my mother seriously angry. She slapped me and took the bracelet from my sister. I don't even think my sobbing little sister understood why. Despite the fact that she had to stay hospitalized, my mother forcibly dragged me back to the store. I prostrated myself, begging for forgiveness. That was the first time I truly understood just what I had done. How heavy of a crime I had committed. No matter how many excuses I make, nothing would ever be able to make up for it."

This was Ichinose's past. The past that she had been hiding.

Honami: "In the end, the store didn't hand me over to the police. But, in the blink of an eye, the commotion still spread, so I closed myself off. For almost half of my third year of middle school, I just shut myself up in my room and stayed there... Eventually, I started to think about moving forward once again. It was all because my homeroom teacher told me about this school. The cost of admission and tuition are waived for you, and if you graduate, you can find a job anywhere you want. I wanted to start over. To start over with a blank slate."

Finished, Ichinose once again bowed her head to her classmates.

Honami: "I'm sorry everyone. I'm such a pathetic, useless leader..."

Arisu: "Does everyone understand now? This, is the real Ichinose Honami-san. As long as you have this sort of person leading you, Class B doesn't stand a chance."

Tatsuya: "Is that so?"

All the crowd turned at Tatsuya

Arisu: "Shiba kun? having faith on your secretary huh? fufufu."

Tatsuya: "What I mean is Sakayanagi, everyone has done a sin before. Of course all of us were no exception. I too, agreed that Ichinose commited a crime."

Kanzaki: "Your point?"

Tatsuya: "My point is what have you done at the past doesn't matter. You have to move forward and start anew. And that's what Ichinose is doing right now. She let go of her past sin by admitting it to her classmates so she can move forward. The only thing that will make class B doesn't stand a chance is if Ichinose will just be bound by her past."

Honami: "Thanks for adding, Shiba kun. And lastly, I am certainly a shoplifter, and as Sakayanagi-san said, I don't think there's any room for sympathy. After all, a crime is a crime, and I have no intention of running away. However, I've never been persecuted for it. In other words, there's effectively no reason for me to atone for my sin now."

Arisu: "You have a lot of nerve to say that despite being so shameless just a moment ago. This defiant attitude of yours is quite a big change from what one would expect from a corrupt thief who honestly regrets their mistakes."

Honami: "Maybe so, but I refuse to keep looking back. I won't let my past control me anymore."

Sakayanagi just smiled widely at the turns of event. She was happy that Ichinose will not fall that easily.

Which means she can play with her more.

Honami: "Despite being so shameless... everyone, will you follow me until the very end?"

She asked this, and it was followed by a moment of silence.

By no means had her request come from a place of optimism.

She was ashamed of her past and on the verge of bursting into tears. She simply wanted to run away from all of it.

But despite that, she continued to push forward.

She had gone through thick and thin with her classmates for the past year. It was impossible for them to not understand what she was going through.

Shibata: "You already have our support, right!?"

Shibata shouted with a smile.

At the same time, every single one of his classmates cheered, showcasing the unity of Class B.

This was the extent of the admiration they had for her.

Arisu: "I see. It seems you've managed to successfully trick your classmates. However, as you said earlier, a criminal's past doesn't just disappear. I'm sure that the rumors about you will continue to spread far into the future."

Honami: "Yeah, but I'm not going to run away."

Arisu: "Is that so? Then, let's thoroughly-"

???: "Alright, that's enough everyone."

As Sakayanagi was in the middle of giving a response, two teachers and an upperclassman entered the classroom.

It was the student council president Nagumo, Class B's homeroom teacher Hoshinomiya, and Chabashira.

And for a moment, me and Tatsuya glanced at Nagumo.

Arisu: "It seems that a few very important people have shown up, but this is a problem that only concerns the first-year students."

Ryuuen: "get lost. This is getting interesting. Kukuku."

Nagumo: "no can do, Ryuuen. And Shiba, why did you not break this crowd?"

Tatsuya: "Sorry, Nagumo senpai. But I too, wanted to know about this problem."

Nagumo: "A completely fair respond. Anyways, we request you to scram right now."

Because Nagumo himself is speaking, the student must oblige.

Arisu: "fufufu, fine then. Lets scram, Hashimoto kun."

Ryuuen: "kukuku, how anticlimatic."

With this, everyone left class B alone.

Nagumo: "Shiba, Ayanokoji, why are you both not leaving?"

We stared at each other for a while.

Tatsuya: "lets go."

With that, me and Tatsuya left the corridor.

Me and Tatsuya stared back at Nagumo for sometimes before immediately walked away.

But you guys may think, how did Ichinose suddenly rises again? 

well here is how it is. Presented by Kiyo the 4th wall breaker.

Flashback, 21 February.

Honami POV

What should I do?

That word popped up on my mind countless times.

I really am pathetic huh?

I got shaked just because of a rumour.

It seems I was binded by my past after all.

Honami: "...Hey... Can I ask you something...?"

I asked the person behind my door.

Kiyo: "Sure. As long as you're alright with asking through the door, you can ask anything."

It was Ayanokoji Kiyotaka kun.

He came here almost everyday.

I don't know if he's alone or no because I can't see him.

But the least that I know is he's here everyday.

Honami: "Why haven't you been saying anything to me, or asking me anything?"

Kiyo: "meaning?"

Honami: "My classmates... My friends in the other classes... Everyone's been trying to convince me to return to school, telling me: If you have something troubling you, please come and talk to us about it. And yet, Ayanokōji-kun, you've never asked me anything like that, all while coming by to visit me every single day... Why?"

I just don't get it. Ayanokoji kun goes as far as leaving his lunch break just for someone as broken as me.

Kiyo: "Maybe, I've been coming here every day because I've been waiting for you to tell me everything."

Honami: "what do you mean?"

Kiyo: "I already know about the crime you've committed."

It completely cracked my composure.

How...

How did Ayanokoji kun know about it?

What is happening here?

My mind was a mess because of the rumours, and now Ayanokoji kun knows about my secret.

How shameful.

Kiyo: "That being said, I'm still unaware of the bigger picture. Only the part from when Sakayanagi started everything until you took time off school. I already understand how much pressure you've been putting on yourself, Ichinose. Though, it's useless for me to be saying these things now."

Honami: "Why... do you know?"

Kiyo: "That isn't very important right now. I have no intention of going into the details."

I just stayed silent.

Kiyo: "You're probably not very good at confiding your troubles in others. You save others, but you can't save yourself. That's why I'm here."

Come to think of it, I helped a lot of people but I can't help myself.

Heh, very funny indeed.

Kiyo: "I am your door now. You can't see my face, and you can't touch me. I'm just a door. You can let out your weakness to me without anyone laughing at you."

I..I..

Can..I...rely on him?

On the existence known as Ayanokoji Kiyotaka?

Who else I can rely to right now except him?

Not even Shiba kun, who I admired so much is here.

I....

Kiyo: "What will you do Ichinose? This is your moment."

What will I do?

I-I'm confused...

But....

Maybe, with him I..can break through my past?

I will trust him.

The person who's behind me.

Honami: "Even though I'm so pathetic... Is it really okay?"

Still, I don't want to bother him.

I have to confirm it.

Kiyo: "Who has the right to deny you of it?"

Honami: "A criminal like me... Can I truly be forgiven..."

???: "Everyone has the right to be forgiven."

I heard another footstep. And that voice, its familiar.

It was Shiba Tatsuya kun.

Kiyo: "took you long enough"

Tatsuya: "sorry, toilet break. Anyways, Ichinose. This is your moment. Wether you want to be chained by your past by keeping it for yourself or do you want to move forward is yours to decide."

T-that's right...Shiba kun has a point.

And after that, I begin to speak.

Honami: "I... was a shoplifter. It got difficult during my third year of middle school, and I stopped going to school for half of it. I never consulted with anyone about it. I just blamed myself and shut myself up in my room, just like I'm doing now..."

I proceed to tell them the whole story.

(A/N: Its just author being lazy because its already explained. Ehe~) 

Tatsuya: "And that attacked your mental state right?"

Honami: "I-I don't know what to do..Shiba kun. I'm scared..I-I don't want to be like this.."

Kiyo: "That's up to you to decide."

Honami: "what do you mean?"

Tatsuya: "wether you want to be pathetic like this, or move forward like a true leader, its entirely up to you."

Kiyo: "we can't do anything about it. Its only you. Will you abandon your classmates and stay locked or move forward?"

I-I..

Tatsuya: "you don't want it right? then hold your head high, Ichinose Honami! you want to reach class A right? you want to reclaim your spot right? then rise! let go of your past! be a fine leader that the people of class B can rely. That's the only way you can move on from your curse."

As Shiba kun said that, I've felt like I've been strucked by a wisdom.

He's right..

I-I won't be like this anymore...

I..Will change!

No sweet words of comfort can change me.

I need a reality check.

Shiba kun and Ayanokoji kun already give it for me.

To win, to move forward.

I will face my past head on.

I opened my door and faced them head on.

The 2 smartest students on this school.

And the 2 person who I have the most comfort for.

I will held my head high!

So I can face them.

I will not be bound by my past anymore.

Goodbye, the me from the past.

Tatsuya: "that's a better looking face than the gloomy Ichinose."

Kiyo: "you got that right."

Tatsuya: "and now, you have to clear up the mess of this rumour. Can you do it?"

Shiba kun extended his right hand to me.

Kiyo: "to start anew, to become an entirely new person. Can you do it?"

Ayanokoji kun extended his left hand to me.

Kiyo&Tatsuya: "Can you do it, Ichinose Honami?"

I closed my eyes for a moment. After I took a deep breath, I took both of their hand

Shiba kun with my left hand, and Ayanokoji kun with my right hand.

And with that, I stand at the middle of them while holding their hand, just like that day on the firework festival.

Honami: "Yes I can."

I've steeled my resolve.

I will clean my mess, and start anew.

That is the resolve of the newly reformed Ichinose Honami.

Flashback End

Tatsuya POV

Tatsuya: "I'm going home."

Kiyo: "sure."

With that, me and Kiyotaka went to our seperate ways.

Timeskip, 24 February

At long last, the end-of-year exam was upon us.

I can't believe I would get into my second year this fast.

I felt like Its just yesterday that I got reincarnated into this world.

But well, time does fly so fast.

During my way, I met Kiyotaka, who's walking to the school.

Kiyo: "yo."

I just nods and proceed to walk with him.

Kiyo: "Ichinose really did it huh."

Tatsuya: "well, its good I guess.."

Kiyo: "and now the rumour incident is done, we can finally enter the spring break."

Tatsuya: "not exactly."

Kiyo: "why?"

Tatsuya: "you know Kiryuin Fuka?"

Kiyo: "I've heard rumours about her. The narcissist right? she's like Koenji but female. Atleast that's what I heard."

Tatsuya: "you got that right. I had some talk with her before, and we talked about this irregular 3rd semester."

Kiyo: "keep going."

Tatsuya: "isn't it weird that there is no special exam at all?"

Kiyotaka must've noticed something strange too.

Kiyo: "It is. The school is being suspicious. I think after the end year exam, we will be thrown into a special exam. And a chaotic one that is."

Tatsuya: "just like during the first semester."

Kiyo: "when that happens, you will think of a strategy right?"

Tatsuya: "depends. Anyways, if that really happens, don't worry. I won't challenge you to stop Kushida again."

Kiyo: "yeah.."

Tatsuya: "if a special exam really happens, it will be the second time we're going to team up."

Kiyo: "Actually, when you said it like that, the only time we've teamed up was during the island exam."

Tatsuya: "sorry for that."

Kiyo: "its fine. I'm not a type of guy who hold grudges."

Tatsuya: "I see. Good to know."

As we walked, a familiar voice called to us.

Honami: "yahallo, Shiba kun, Ayanokoji kun."

We turned back to the source of the voice, Ichinose Honami.

Kiyo&Tatsu: "good morning too, Ichinose."

Honami: "Today's finally the end-of-year exam. Have you guys properly studied for it?"

Tatsuya: "well, more or less."

Honami: "wait, what am I saying. Of course mr.100 and mr.rigged is ready. Silly me~" she said while doing a tee hee pose.

Kiyo: "anyways, yesterday was cool."

Tatsuya: "you've got that right."

Honami: "and its thanks to both of you..If it wasn't for you guys, I think I would've ended up self-destructing like last year and fallen apart. In that sense, Sakayanagi-san completely defeated me this time."

Tatsuya: "It'd be a problem if you were to be overly grateful. we were just the trigger. In the end, you're the only one who can overcome your own past."

Honami: "...Hmm, you're right. I can't take back what I've done. No matter how much time passes, the day where I think my sins have finally disappeared probably won't come to pass. But, I'll live my life, properly facing it head on from this day forward. I'm sure of it."

Tatsuya: "I see. Good to know. Anyways, lets go, Kiyotaka."

Kiyotaka followed me and we continued to walk to school.

Honami: "w-wait.."

We turned back again at the person who's calling us.

Kiyo: "what is it?"

Honami: "E-eh?"

Tatsuya: "you looked like you have something to say. What is it?"

Honami: "um, you both might've got a lot of these that you got bored but here, Valentines chocolate... W-would you guys accept it? How should I put it... I've never given something like this before but... this is the only way I can express my gratitude, so..."

Kiyo: "you don't need to force yourself to give it if you can't tho."

Tatsuya: "I agree with him."

Honami: "I-I-I-I'm not forcing myself, you know? s-s0..please accept it.."

Kiyo&Tatsuya: "sure."

With that, me and Tatsuya accepts her chocoloate.

Honami: "whew, I felt relieved."

Tatsuya: "anyways, lets go. Class is starting."

Honami: "sure!"

While we're walking, I can see Nagumo senpai form the corner of my eyes.

Ichinose didn't notice her but me and Kiyotaka noticed him very clearly.

He gave Kiyotaka a glare, as if he's enraged that he ruined his plans.

While Kiyotaka just stared back at him for a while.

Actually, when I heard from Kiyotaka that Nagumo told Sakayanagi about Ichinose's secret I'm quite shocked.

But I don't care about the past anymore.

What matters is she managed to survive.

We walked to our designated classroom to do the end of the year exam.


To Be Continued

Hi BigFrog Here, I Hope you enjoy the chapter xD

A/N

A short chap.

Sorry if it's too fast paced. I don't want to drag this.

About the rumours like Kiyo has a crush on Kei, lets just say the one who posted it was Kiyo and Tatsuya. Since Tatsuya has Kushida under him, he can get those secrets easily. But I skipped it because yeah, it has the same purpose.

Class points at February

Class A-1320(Arisu)

Class B-1040(Honami)

Class C-770(Ryuuen)

Class D-720(Suzune)

And lastly, I hope I can write volume 10 with no difficulties. Since here Kiyo is not holding back as much as the LN, the class won't be that easy to be convinced by Yamadead. And also since Kushida is under Tatsuya's control, there is no way she would help with that.

But if you guys can come up with suggestions, I'll appreciate it.

Or should I skip to volume 11 instead? that way yamadead won't be expelled. Comment your thoughts about this.

Sorry if it had an uncomfortable pace and boring

Feel free to critisize the chapter!
