Classroom Of The Elite 2nd Year - Full Volume
Chpter 2

The older Horikita looked at Secretary Tachibana, then nodded slightly with a smile.

"As he said. Originally, the delivery of the package that Katsuragi-kun expected was allowed, but there were some disciples who broke his promise, they hid the letter inside the package without permission. Such a thing happened and now such actions are completely forbidden" Tachibana said.

Thus, the older Horikita drilled an absolute rejection of Katsuragi. But, Katsuragi is not the type to give up here. Although for the first year, this man was still the leader of Class A. He immediately reassessed the situation and rebuilt his approach.

"Then once again I have to ask you, let me use the parcel delivery directly at the store. I won't touch a single finger on the package, I'll just pay the fee. If it is like that, there is no room for deception "said Katsuragi.

"Although that's the case, it's still against the rules ....."

"In violation of rules? This school is ability-based, if I've ever heard of it, you can do anything with enough points. Buying test scores or trading between pupils, there are many uses for points. Am I wrong?" Katsuragi continued. It seemed to Katsuragi, the value of the birthday present he wanted to send was huge.

"Then, the situation changed slightly" the older Horikita, after calmly listening to what she had to say, slightly changed her attitude.

.

"Before we go into the details of the matter, can you tell me who the recipient is?" she asked.

"This is for my twin brother. Since we don't have parents, I'm the only one who can celebrate his birthday" Katsuragi said. This is a result that is completely at odds with our useless theory of romance and which is not. Of all that, it turned out to be for siblings.

"I'll justify you with one point but the point system isn't everything. Of course the action you mentioned earlier might have happened, but it's only because it's 'not mentioned in the rules'. What is currently listed in the school regulations as prohibited, will not be easy to change with that just like that” It is a slightly elusive statement, but maybe it means something similar. For example, let's use test scores as an example.

A while ago, I used points to buy Sudou's test scores. That in itself is not an 'illegal' thing'. This means points can be used to buy test scores. But let's just say the same Sudou broke the school rules by cheating alone in order to get a passing grade on his exam and the cheating case had to be solved. It would be hard to erase the fact that he was already 'cheating'.

"School rules are there to be enforced"

"That's funny, then, these school rules are full of loopholes"

"There's nothing strange about that, it means all the school does is make rules that allow for a way out"

.

And in response to Katsuragi's question, the student council president responded in a way that made it look as if it was obvious.

"............."

Even for the clever Katsuragi, it seemed like his opponent this time was too heavy. In terms of their own abilities, the difference between them was simply too great. This person, who for 3 years in this school, was not only in Class A but also carrying out the duties of the student council president, had no weaknesses.

"You're saying if I use your points, there's nothing I can do?" Ask Katsuragi.

"There's nothing you can do. If this was something forbidden by the school, it would not be allowed even by using points"

Exactly as Horikita had said earlier, it meant that the point system was not everything. I'm sure Katsuragi is determined to spend a lot of money to do so but if the only option left of him is cut off, it means the end of him.

"If you're done, please go"

"I understand.. I understand, excuse me" Katsuragi glanced at me just once, but when I signaled that I would stay here, she left in silence.

"You're not coming back?"

.

"What you said earlier, it's about when the act of breaking the rules will be revealed, right?" In the middle of it, I said it as if copying Katsuragi.

"What do you mean?" Horikita's older gaze was now directed at me.

"Did you remember, a while ago, Sudou from our class was fighting with some students from Class C?" The older Horikita nodded as if it was a normal thing. It caused a huge uproar at that moment.

"At that time, Class C students filed a complaint with the school and it turned into a case where it led to a discussion for punishment. However, right now, Katsuragi did not break any rules. He was just thinking of asking for approval that would be done leading to an act that broke the rules. The only one who knows about it will be me, Katsuragi and also the two of you, the student council... In that case, as long as you ignore the act that breaks the rules, it won't cause anything"

This strange phrase, I'm sure if the two of them would naturally understand its meaning. For example, if you violate traffic rules and happen to be called by a police officer. If you bribe the officer and manage to make him ignore your offense, you will not be subjected to punishment and your offense will be forgiven. That's meaning.

.

"Then, the delivery process is generally difficult. If it's you, it's a simple task, isn't it?"

"I see, you said this to get things done without first finishing this with school, didn't you?”

Katsuragi properly tried to get permission from the school. But if that doesn't work, all he has to do is make sure that the school never hears from him. But it was probably an idea that the honorable Katsuragi could not think of.

"Dare to talk about ignoring school rule violations so boldly, Scary delinquency!". Only Secretary Tachibana showed me that.

"How did you come to that conclusion?"

"This school prohibits acts of violence, but you, at your first meeting with me, showed no signs of restraint, it's enough proof that as long as the school doesn't know it, anything can be missed" Even if he was the president of the student council, he shouldn't have raised his hand in public like that.

"That's right, if one were to contact an outsider, there was no other way but that, but Katsuragi was unaware of the fact. At the same time, he lost the only option left"

"Aren't you thinking of helping her now?”

.

"No. I'm not the kind of person who easily helps break school rules for the sake of that guy"

"If you really felt that way, you should have told Katsuragi about this method before she left the room, but you didn't"

Ahhhhh. It was really troublesome to face someone as intelligent as him. He looked inside me completely. It seems like she realized that I did not want to carelessly tell Katsuragi and put Katsuragi to her escort.

"I'm done, I'll be back"

"I can tell Tachibana to prepare tea for you now"

"I'm gonna miss it, I don't know what you're gonna put in it"

"Rude first-year!" Tachibana. And when I left the room, inexplicably older Horikita also stood up to take me out.

"I'll pretend I didn't hear what Katsuragi said today. So, if you move behind the scenes from here, I won't try to investigate, you can do what you want" she told me.

"I don't seriously want to do that kind of thing"

.

"That alone doesn't matter, I just let you know that I won't get involved, that's all"

I could read the information from Horikita's older eyes to a frustrating degree. In other words, he told me that he would not interfere in this matter, so go and deceive the school well, is that what he wants to say?

I decided to leave the student council room to escape that sight. He must have also seen the fact that I was also looking for new advice for Katsuragi.

"He's a great man, the president of this student council"

***

"Muu ..." When I returned to our dorm lobby, Katsuragi was there, sitting with a deep sigh. He immediately looked at me and stood up.

"I'm waiting for you. I'm sorry to have you accompany me with something weird today" she told me.

"No. I was the one who insisted on following you. I'm sorry I couldn't help you"

.

"There's nothing like it. From the beginning it was impossible. I had no other choice but to give up" She definitely intended to hand this gift over to her sister by all means, but since it was forbidden by the school rules, it seemed like Katsuragi had given up.

"If you want, please eat this with your friend, I don't really like anything sweet" Saying that, he handed me the gift bag. But, I didn't take it.

"Everything is in vain"

"I see, I think you wouldn't be happy even if I gave you something that was originally intended for someone else" After saying that, Katsuragi slightly lowered her head as she moved back to her room.

"Katsuragi" I called him and stopped the man.

"What's wrong?"

"I might be able to help you, I've thought of a way to give that gift to your sister"

.

"I've been rejected by the council of disciples who are the closest to the disciple. I doubt there's another solution"

"That's because you don't have the courage to break the rules. If you ignore the rules, there's a way"

"..... I'm not going to take any risky actions" I don't think it's possible for someone as serious as Katsuragi who also happens to be the leader of Class A. Moreover, if that really happened, it would be a warning for the lower classes. He would not obediently listen to her.

"I think it would be helpful if you listened to me, even if giving a gift was important to you" Even though it was still summer vacation, Katsuragi had already repeatedly gone to the student council room to obtain permission to give her a reward. I understand his feelings in this unmitigated matter.

"Is this something we should talk about in a place like this?" Katsuragi pointed to the people around us as well as the surveillance cameras.

"I think so, this is not a good place. Are you going to my room?" Other people usually come in and out of my room every day, there would be no problem if I brought Katsuragi in. Katsuragi and I, we both headed to the dorm room.

.

Fortunately, putting aside classmates, we did not even meet a single student when we arrived at my room. I opened my door and turned on the light.

"Please come in"

"This is a slightly clean room, or rather, there is nothing here. It reminds me of the day we registered"

"I've heard it a lot" Then after taking our seats, I turned on the AC and poured the tea into the cup.

"Then? you were talking about school rules or whatever it was before"

"For example, if you're trying to deliver a gift from school, it's not something that's easy to do, because shipping outside the school area is generally prohibited, you can't use the post office either"

There was a post office located on the school grounds, only a few such places were only used by teachers. Students don't enter. It was clear even if we asked them, we would be rejected. That was why Katsuragi went to the student council to try to get permission and make plans. But since they also rejected him, he concluded that it was impossible to send his gifts round and round.
