Kiyotaka: Before the next episode airs, I'd like to talk privately with the Ayanokouji group, author?

Author: Of course!

Note: The Ayanokouji group in COTE Another includes Kiyotaka, Haruka, Akito, Keisei, Airi, Hirata, Kushida, Kei.

Kiyotaka and Ayanokouji's group walked out of the theater, they stood in the hallway, he was in the opposite position from the rest of the group. He didn't use his usual eyes, instead he had a pair of strange eyes, no one could see the emotions inside those eyes.

Kiyotaka: You guys must have wondered a lot about the previous episode, right?

They did not reluctantly refuse, instead just nodded.

Hirata: Kiyotaka, what happened to you in the past? Those injuries are so terrible!

Kiyotaka: I... No, a man taught me like this. People are just tools, tricks are not important, sacrificing everything is not a problem, victory is everything!

Except for Karuizawa and Kushida, everyone in the group was stunned by Kiyotaka's very honest words. They couldn't believe that their close friend could say such cruel words.

Kiyotaka: Do you want to know who taught me that crazy idea?

Everyone nodded.

Kiyotaka: That...that man is... Ayanokouji Atsuomi, my father.

Keisei: D-Father...Your father? Why did your father teach you that?!!

Kiyotaka: Because I'm just a tool, his valuable asset. Actually, I was born to serve that man's crazy ambition.

Haruka: Kiyopon, do you also consider us tools?

Kiyotaka looked at them, his throat frozen as he was about to say the cruelest words. But he couldn't... he didn't hesitate, he just didn't want to hurt them.

Akito: K-Kiyotaka... Are you crying?

Kiyotaka: Hah?

Kiyotaka raised his hand to gently touch the corner of his eye, feeling the warm water coming into contact with his skin. He really cried... Emotions... emotions finally returned to him.

Kiyotaka: I... I considered everyone a tool. But I don't want to hurt any of you. Why? What happened to me? I could have easily done the cruelest things to keep you away from me?!! Why is that?!! Why can't I do it? I have never felt as helpless as I do now.

Airi: Kiyotaka-kun you...

Kushida: So have you identified your feelings yet?

Karuizawa: Yes, he's very smart, but he's very dumb in this matter. Have you forgotten, Kikyou-chan?

Kushida: But I think it's better to let him admit it himself than to let someone else tell him.

Karuizawa: Ahhh mouuu I can't help but agree with you on this matter, Kikyou-chan.

Hirata: Honestly, I've never seen Kiyotaka so miserable.

Haruka: But only through hardship can you realize the precious things in life.

Airi: Haruka-chan is so right!

Akito: Haruka can also say cheesy things like that? It's unbelievable!

Keisei: That sounds so cheesy! But it doesn't sound bad.

Kiyotaka: You guys are such a nasty bunch. Damn, I don't know when... But I really see everyone as friends, no longer the most important people in my life.

In the end, Ayanokouji and the group were happy again as usual, Kiyotaka wiped away his tears. He wished that after graduation, he would still be alive to see them again. The journey to regain my emotions has been successful, now it's the end of my search for freedom

They re-entered the cinema.

Author: Okay, let's start the new episode.

I walked out of the bathroom wearing nothing special in my pajamas, feeling so comfortable that I could do whatever I wanted without any restrictions. I want to enjoy this feeling more, but I have to put this issue aside, because I still have a lot of time to enjoy, there is nothing that makes me rush.

Instead, I pay special attention to the class members, my assessment of Class D mainly focuses on the important members.

I believe that they will become the main players and leaders of class D.

Ryuuen: Oh my, the monster is trying to create a strong opponent for me. So interesting!

Hayasaka: Why do you call Ayanokouji-kun a monster?

Arisu: I agree with this issue. I'm really curious about the people who are highly appreciated by Ayanokouji-kun.

Kaguya: Even Arisu believes in Ayanokouji-kun's strength, right? Ah, I don't think anyone would say Ayanokouji is normal after seeing those wounds.

Chika: I'm trying to forget, why do you keep mentioning that image, Kaguya-san!

Ichinose *Pats shoulder* Come on, not sad, not sad.

Kanzaki: Ichinose, from now on we have to be more careful with Ayaokouji.

Ichinose: I understand. As the leader of the class, I cannot let personal issues affect the whole class. I don't want to be an idiot.

Kanzaki; It's good that you understand that. It seems that me giving up the position of leader was a wise decision.

Oreki: Are the diamonds hidden in a landfill?

Masachika: Are you talking about yourself?

Uesugi: I'm really curious about Oreki-kun. He's so smart, he should have gone to a very good school, right? It's not that I criticize your current school for its poor quality, it's just that Oreki's level should not appear at this school.

Oreki: Level must go hand in hand with attitude.

Satoshi: The answer is too simple...

Chitanda: Oreki-kun he...

Mayaka: Has an extremely annoying personality...

Irisu: Lazy!

Horikita Suzune, my neighbor for the next three years, I couldn't help but sigh at this girl's self-important attitude. Although I haven't been in contact with her for long. But I live in an environment full of strong people, and my intuition reminded me that she was very special.

After hearing Ayanokouji's assessment, Horikita suddenly blushed within a few seconds. But she quickly regained her composure.

Horikita: Thank you for your review, Ayanokouji-kun!

Hachiman: Now, I see that Horikita resembles Yukinoshita. Are you two related to each other?

Yui: Super similar.

Yukino: There's no resemblance at all.

Sudo Ken, at first glance, I see that he is just a hot-tempered kid who easily causes trouble in the classroom. But Sudo's physical strength can be said to be the most valuable asset in the class, I will save him if any trouble occurs. Sudo's potential is huge, I need to exploit it to help him grow. As long as Sudo changes, he will inspire other poor students in the class.

Sudo: Thank you, Ayanokouji! I didn't expect him to pay such special attention to me. No wonder back then you...

Kiyotaka: I only care about my classmates.

Nene: Now that I think about it, since Sudo-kun changed, the class members also started to improve.

Ike: Unexpectedly, it was all part of Ayanokouji's calculations.

Shinohara: Although it's difficult to admit, I now believe that Ayanokouji-kun is the most outstanding student in class D.

Nino: You say you're not the leader, but everyone sees you as the leader.

Kiyotaka: I have no interest in being a leader. The role of class president does not suit my personality.

Satou: No, Ayanokouji-kun is really a good person.

Kiyotaka: No, you shouldn't think of me as a good person, Satou. I... I've never been a good person, I've done a lot of bad things in the past.

Satou: Hihihi~~ I don't care.

Miku: She loves Ayanokouji-kun, right?

Ichika: Maybe that's it.

Itsuki: I think they both look good together.

Karuizawa: "Itsuki, are you betraying me?"

Yotsuba: Why do you look upset, Kei-neesan?

Karuizawa: It's nothing.

Hirata Yousuke, I only need a glance to confirm that he is an indispensable and important part of the class. The class members all come from different schools, they are all strangers. Class D needs someone to attract and unite everyone, the most suitable person is Hirata. What makes me curious is why is he in class D? A most defective class, what happened in Hirata's past?

Mii-chan: Hirata-kun's past?

Kokoro: Now that I noticed, why is Hirata-kun in class D? I've never seen him show any flaws.

Hirata: I think I'll explain from now on. Actually, I did a lot of bad things in the past. When I came to the new school, I really decided to change myself. I won't give too many details, after all we're following Kiyotaka-kun, so we'll see my past soon.

Hachiman: "Oh, I'm right, Hirata is not the same as Hayama. I feel much more comfortable with Hirata."

Oreki: Regardless of your past, the fact that you can still attend this school proves that sin is still acceptable.

Satoshi: That's right, I don't think the school would admit a murderer.

Mayaka: Above all, Hirata-kun has tried to change, everyone in the class thinks well of him.

Chitanda: Not everyone can change themselves to become better.

Irisu: It's truly admirable!

Ryuuen: Boring! You should at least show some of your past self, otherwise you'll just be a boring opponent.

Hirata: Don't worry, Ryuuen-kun! If it's really necessary...

Hirata turned around, looking at Ryuuen with eyes filled with darkness and violence. Everyone in the cinema was startled.

Hirata: I will return to my previous self to fight you for my class.

Ryuuen: Kukuku, that's unexpected.

Arisu: Fufufufu is interesting!

Ichinose: "Hirata is also a dangerous individual in Class D."

Karuizawa Kei, Kushida Kikyou, I need to observe more, because the fields of these two girls are related to social relationships and communication. Maybe this is my weakness, so I can't judge too much. But I really expected them to be able to control the group of girls in the class, a job even I didn't want to do. Why? It's simple, girls don't need logic, I get chills just imagining dealing with girls.

All girls: What do you mean?!

Hachiman: Agreed.

Oreki: No opinion.

Masachika: Shared thoughts.

Kouenji looked at Yuki: "If you don't say anything, you'll probably live longer."

Miura: How rude! Not at all like Hayato.

Hayama: You say that a bit too much, Ayanokouji-kun.

Ishigami: That's his thinking. Who are you to interfere in what he thinks?

Chika: Hey, what he said wasn't wrong.

Ishigami: A flat-brained girl like you is the clearest proof that girls don't need logic.

Kaguya: Ishigami-kun!

Ishigami: Eeeek I was wrong, ma'am.

Miyuki: Ha ha...

Shirogane Kei: My brother has no authority at all.

Alya; Kuze-kun, what do you mean you agree?!

Masachika: I don't know anything.

Nino: So have Kei-neesan and Kushida-san controlled the group of girls in class yet?

Karuizawa: He he he

Kushida: The job is so simple!

Now let's turn our thoughts to the two most special people.

Kouenji Rokusuke, I clearly feel the aura of a strong man from him, my intuition says that he is the strongest enemy if he and I face off. But according to observations, I confirm that Kouenji has no intention of helping the class, that's obvious, because he doesn't worry about the future.

Kouenji: Kokokoko you realized it from the beginning, intuition is scary, Ayanokouji Boy.

Yuki: I will focus on watching the next episodes.

Kouenji: Huh?

Yuki: I'll see if you're flirting with any girls in school.

Kouenji:....

Ryuuen: Looks like that self-trained guy is about to die.

Hayasaka: The only person who makes Kouenji afraid.

Masachika: It's not fear, it's respect, girls.

Matsushita Chiaki, I remember meeting this girl at that place, but she wasn't a student there. Matsushita only ever visited that place and interacted with me. It's just that when we first met, Matsushita was different from now. It wasn't his appearance that changed, but his expression. I was fooled by that expression, until she introduced herself. And I can say that Matsushita is the strongest opponent I have ever met in the past.

Karuizawa: Have you met Chiaki-chan before?

Kushida: Why didn't we hear what you told us about her?

Kiyotaka: Some stories are better told by the girl herself.

Ryuuen: "Another chameleon."

Arisu: "She also went to the White Room..."

Maruo: "Matsushita, the most mysterious family."

Matsushita: "Now I realize, this episode was that time."

Shinohara: Impossible, Matsushita-san?!!

Nene: I know she's smart but...

Satou: Matsushitaa

While I was engrossed in thinking about the abilities of the members of class 1-D, I felt something flying towards me from the direction of the window. In just a second, I fell backwards, avoiding the strange object flying towards me.

I realized it was a smoke bomb with the safety latch removed. The bomb exploded, smoke filled my room.

Ryuuen: Oh, oh this is interesting.

Housen: I've been waiting for this special scene.

Amasawa: It's unexpected that someone so stupid would dare attack senpai.

Yagami: "The masterpiece will not be defeated that easily, I am the one who will defeat him."

I couldn't see anything clearly in the room because the smoke was too thick. I instinctively felt danger behind me. In just five seconds, I would be knocked unconscious if I didn't act. I gently swerved to the left, avoiding a dangerous chop. I didn't miss a moment and threw a punch into my opponent's stomach.

BOOM!!

The opponent blocked my punch with one hand, not letting me attack faster. The opponent punched through the smoke in front of me, the punch lightly grazed my cheek.

In terms of speed, the opponent is faster than me. I rely on my natural reflexes to avoid all attacks from the enemy, without any loopholes for me to counterattack. I don't feel this situation is dangerous or troublesome, there's no need to look for loopholes. I just need to knock the opponent out.

I raised my foot and kicked straight at the enemy, powerful enough to knock him back. At that moment, the smoke in the room was gradually dissipating.

"Matsushita."

Matsushita: Oh my, I've been exposed.

Karuizawa: Chiaki-chan, why did you attack Ayanokouji-kun?!!

Kushida: Also, why did you bring a smoke bomb into the school? We were all checked for items we brought into school on the first day.

Ryuuen: Oh, look at the way those two monsters move, it's really scary

Housen: Now things get more interesting.

President Sakayanagi: "Sure enough, the Matsushita family is not ordinary at all."

"Long time no see, devil."

Matsushita didn't hold back at all, she called me by my nickname while in the White Room.

"I'm also surprised to see you here again, Matsushita. Now can you tell me why you attacked?"

Matsushita and I fought each other hundreds, thousands of times when we first met, when we were only 9 years old. At the age of 10, Matsushita left to continue her own training, and I no longer had any opponents.

"Etouu, I just wanted to check whether you are stronger than before or not. Anyway, out of 2000 matches, I won 1000 matches, remember?"

There's no denying it, Chiaki and I still don't know who is stronger.

But I feel happy... It's true, Chiaki is like a childhood friend of mine.

Ryuuen: Kukukuku, a female monster on par with that monster.

Arisu: Fufufufu you hid it too well, Matsushita-san.

Oreki: Ayanokouji-kun, how do you rate Matsushita and Kouenji?

Kiyotaka: Kouenji is stronger than me in terms of muscle strength, Matsushita is stronger than me in terms of speed.

Karuizawa: What about you?

Kiyotaka: Technique!
