My Weakness { Classroom Of The Elite }
1
“What is Evil? - Whatever Springs From Weakness”
– Friedrich Nietzsche
Rekka
The feeling of pain?
I asked him as I felt like my lungs were constricting once again, but I felt no pain as my vision started to darken.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
That is something you will never know
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
So that means you will never know your mother.
Rekka
But I want to know, you said she was in pain right until the end and it was for me. I want to understand that.
I explained, and he only smirked at me as I finally fainted.
I got smacked on the head making me look around
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
Stop spacing out, you will hit a radiator again
Rekka
I thought that was the last of our problems
Rekka
We both don't know how to talk to other humans and outside of that place its so dangerous for me that I could die any second
I reminded him as I walked to the bus stop with him.
I pushed my black umbrella back up since I was just using it to poke some poles we were walking past.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
Yeah, it might have been best if you stayed
Rekka
Yeah and then die of a heart attack at some point. That's boring and I can't learn what I want from there
Rekka
Anyway, I have been out here for a while, but I'm not dead yet!
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
I will just have to do the checks
Rekka
But I don't want to get hit, it's boring
I whined and we got some weird looks from the other people waiting at the bus stop.
Kiyotaka then started to poke me
He then squeezed my nose and twisted but I didn't react.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
I don't want your nose, but I know you still can't feel pain
Kiyotaka just patted my head
The bus arrived so I put my umbrella down. I sat by the window while Kiyotaka sat next to me and it was silent until he asked me a question like he usually does.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
Are human beings truly equal?
Rekka
No, I don't get why the random people I have talked to so far go on about it being a thing. I'm not equal to most since I can't feel pain, I would die very easily by heating up or by accidentally sitting on a hot water bottle again.
Rekka
So I need someone with me since I'm not equal to everyone else
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
A great man once said, heaven does not create one person above or below another
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
And stop talking to random people. It can be dangerous for you.
Rekka
T's not, they weren't hot
Rekka
I mean the heat kind, but not really the attractive kind either and that old man hasn't met you or me
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
But that's not the end of the quote. It actually says we're equal at birth, but then gaps appear, the differences are the results of one's academic efforts, or lack thereof
Rekka
I was born like this, but I don't know about you, did you even cry at birth?
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
At any rate, humans are capable of thinking for themselves. Equality may be a false concept, but our inequality remains a difficult thing to accept.
Rekka
It's not like I had anything to accept, actually, no, too much white around me
Rekka
Even red fire would have been welcoming instead.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
You would be dead before the fire even touched you, Rekka.
Kushida Kikyo
Excuse me...could you give me up your seat?
I saw a girl asking some blonde guy who was manspreading across many seats
Kushida Kikyo
That's a priority seat, I think you should let this elderly lady sit there.
Rekka
His face and posture are screaming no and to go- what was the phrase?
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
To the toilet?
Rekka
No, I think it was swim in lava or hug a shark, that sounds like fun.
He rejected making me whine
Koenji
My, my, pretty girl
The blonde guy talked like some kind of villain
Koenji
While it may be a priority seat, there is no law requiring me to relinquish it. You want me to give my seat away just because I am young?
Koenji
Nonsense, pure and simple, even if I am young, standing consumes more stamina than sitting, so why should I do something so detrimental with no benefit to myself?
Rekka
So even out here people can completely ignore the morals humans have made
I mumbled while I looked around seeing no one wants to try and get him to move
Kushida Kikyo
I think you would be contributing to society
The girl smiled nervously
Kushida Kikyo
And this lady seems to be having trouble staying upright
Koenji
I have no interest in contributing to society
He weirdly flicked his hair. I tried to copy him and Kiyotaka then moved my long red hair back that was stuck in front of my face.
Rekka
Don't make my orange eyes red
I complained as I rubbed at them since he nearly touched my eye.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
You're the one making them red
He informed me as he got me to stop before I injured myself.
Koenji
Besides, what about those sitting in the other seats?
The blonde guy spoke up making me watch them again.
No one spoke up so I was curious what would happen if I did.
Rekka
Do you want mine? I want to try the roof.
I asked then felt something on my head.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
Can you stop forgetting the condition you have?
Kiyotaka pushed me back down into my seat.
Rekka
And I'm not next to a volcano.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
Sorry, but she has a condition
Kushida Kikyo
That's fine, please stay seated
Kushida Kikyo
Is there anyone else who would be willing to give up their seat?
It was quiet and I saw some lady stand up. She said that she will give her saet. It seems she just wanted this all to end, people find awkwardness painful so I wonder if it was for her.
I noticed Kiyotaka was staring at a girl, so I did to and she didn't move a page of her book at all.
We soon got off at the school we are attending for the next three years. It's quite a prodigious one. It lets you get any job you want after.
Horikita Suzune
Hey, you two
The book girl from the bus called out to us
Horikita Suzune
You both were looking at me on the bus, why?
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
Oh sorry, it was because you, like me, didn't seem interested in giving up your seat. So you don't like to get involved in stuff like that either, huh?
Horikita Suzune
Don't assume I'm like you, and I held onto my seat as a matter of conviction.
Horikita Suzune
If you have no business with me, fine
She flicked her hair and walked into the school.
Rekka
Flicking hair horribly is in fashion
I went running in, and Kiyotaka slowly followed after me.
The opening ceremony was kind of boring, but I was able to see what the people I will be surrounded by are like, the lazy, the crazy and the no friends people, Kiyotaka was one.
We were sitting in our classroom as everyone talked and I had the desk in front of Kiyotaka while the rude girl was sitting next to him.
Horikita Suzune
An unpleasant coincidence
Rekka
Yeah, I wanted someone interesting, not someone rude.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
Why did you want to sit by the window?
Rekka
To see all the things outside! We never had any good windows!
I exclaimed confusing the rude girl.
Hirata Yosuke
Everyone. May I have a moment? I was hoping we could all introduce ourselves to get a jump on getting better acquainted
Some guy spoke up. I guess he wants to be the leader of the class
Hirata Yosuke
How about it?
"I'm in!" All the girls chimed in.
Hirata Yosuke
Thanks, I will go first. I'm Hirata Yosuke, just call me Yosuke, no need for formality
Hirata Yosuke
I play all kinds of sports, and I intend to join the football club at this school, nice to meet you all.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
I bet he will end up being the class leader
Kiyotaka told me and I nodded agreeing with him.
Kushida Kikyo
I will go next! My name is Kushida Kikyo, and my goal is to become friends with each and every one of you!
Kushida Kikyo
I would like to make lots of good memories, so don't hesitate to invite me anywhere!
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
She already has the 'I will be friends with anyone' aura
Rekka
And the features, she really pushed them forward
Hirata Yosuke
Next is you!
Rekka
Oh, well, I have never done this before
I grinned curious as to how they will react as I turned to the whole class
Rekka
Well, I'm Rekka...just call me by that name. I guess my hobby would be fainting? And hanging out in white places? Or is it more like being trapped?
They all seemed very confused.
Kushida Kikyo
I heard you have a condition
Kushida Kikyo
Please tell me whatever it is, so I can help.
Everyone looked at me curiously
Rekka
I was born without the ability to feel pain, and I don't sweat either because I can't feel the heat or cold, so I was never allowed to do some sports or move around much.
Rekka
But I hope I can make a new hobby of seeing all kinds of new things, like seeing what healthy people do! And maybe even taking a part in it myself!
They all clapped for some reason.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
You did well.
Hirata pointed to Ayanokoji next
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
Uh...um...I'm Ayanokoji Kiyotaka. Uh...I look after Rekka normally, I look forward to studying with you. I'm not good at anything in particular, but I will work hard to get along with everyone
Hirata Yosuke
Nice to meet you, Ayanokoji
Hirata Yosuke
Let's be good friends
The rude girl laughed for some reason and Hirata went to ask the next person but then a desk got smashed.
Sudo Ken
Introductions? Please, do what you want but leave us out of it
Some red-haired guy demanded
Chabashira Sae (Teacher)
Everyone take your seats
Chabashira Sae (Teacher)
I'm Chabashira Sae, and I'm the homeroom teacher for Class D. There will be no changing of classes in school and I will be responsible for you for the next three years until you graduate.
Chabashira Sae (Teacher)
First, I will hand out the school rule book
She gave them to the people in the front, and they took one and then passed it back.
Chabashira Sae (Teacher)
We have special rules at this school
Chabashira Sae (Teacher)
First, you will live in dorms and while at school your ability to leave campus and contact the outside world will be limited.
Chabashira Sae (Teacher)
But don't worry, the school offers a variety of facilities. Everything you need can be found here, including entertainment, to buy things, you will use points stored in the school's official computer system
Chabashira Sae (Teacher)
At school, you can buy anything using points.
Chabashira Sae (Teacher)
Points are allotted on the first of each month. One point is worth one yen, you have already been allotted 100,000 points for this month.
She informed us and everyone started to freak out while I grinned
Chabashira Sae (Teacher)
Are you surprised by the size of your allotment? This school judges students based on merit, you are attributed significant value just for being accepted here.
Rekka
So our academic value is what gets us money
Rekka
Kiyo, can we buy bears?
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
The editable ones?
He asked me and I excitedly nodded confusing the rude girl.
After school, we went to a convenience store, and I was picking up every sweet thing and Kiyotaka was putting them back
Rekka
Didn't you say I should try new things?
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
These can make your condition worse some days so just get things like bread, you can make sandwiches
I just laughed as I got the appropriate things and he used his phone to buy them
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
It really does work like money.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
You look happy, so this means these aren't good?
Rekka
Yeah, the system will have bad effects on the students.
Rekka
Greed is quite an easy thing to exploit. It seems everyone here is very trusting, so they will probably go through these points like me with tests that involve...I think I forget to do some of the questions on the entrance exams
Rekka
Anyway, no one paid attention when she was explaining the hidden rules of us having to do well to get points.
Rekka
But I don't know if it's a group effort, so I suggest we don't spend much and wait for the next month. I bet there will be pain. I can't wait, I want to see those expressions I can't have.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
It all costs 360 million per year. It is very strange even if it is government-funded.
Kiyotaka put his hand on my forehead and then handed me a drink
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
You're slightly warmer than your normal temperature.
Horikita Suzune
Another unpleasant coincidence and conversation
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
You don't have to be so twitchy
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
Well since we sit beside each other, we should at least get along, what's your name?
Rekka
I will call you rude girl from now on
Horikita Suzune
Horikita Suzune
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
Horikita? Like the student council president?
Suzune picked up some cheap stuff off the shelving while ignoring us.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
You can buy more expensive-
Horikita Suzune
I don't need it

I hope u like this story!
Author
It's my first fanfic
Author
So, for the people who don't know the anime or the light novel let's introduce the characters from previous chapter!
Let's start!
Author
Let's continue our story now~
"It Takes a Great Deal and Skill to Conceal One’s Talent and Skill.”
– François de La Rochefoucauld
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
You can buy more expensive-
Horikita Suzune
I don't need it
I patted Kiyotaka's back confusing him.
Horikita Suzune
She feels sorry for you. You don't seem very good at interacting with people. You're a lousy conversationalist.
Rekka
Let's be friends. You're very rude but I like you
Horikita Suzune
I feel no need to make friends
Suzune gently pushed my hand away.
Rekka
But you still show care
I hummed seeing she was gentle with me since I'm not equal in health.
I saw a little area saying the items there are free, but you can only have three a month.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
I guess it's to help people who use up their points?
Horikita Suzune
On top of 100,000 yen a month? This school is quite indulgent.
We heard fighting outside and they just ignored it while I listened out and it was a guy from our class being taunted by some seniors
"Tuna eats ass?" I tried to hear what they are saying.
Rekka
Kiyo, how do you eat ass?
Suzune flinched while Kiyotaka just shrugged at me as he paid for our stuff and Suzune ran for it.
Rekka
So we are pathetic since we are the last class? And that's why we eat ass to
I hummed hearing what the seniors were yelling as I walked outside with Kiyotaka.
"The real hell isn't here yet!" One yelled then they all walked off.
The guy that attacked his table earlier kicked a bin and then walked off. We both looked at a camera nearby.
The points might still be based on the individual.
I spoke up and he sighed as we picked up the bin and put the trash back in.
I made a game out of it by trying to throw the stuff back in. I accidentally made Kiyotaka slam his head against a wall by hitting him with a plastic fork.
Rekka
......That's wrestling, right?
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
No assault
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
Are you still not interested in this kind of pain?
Rekka
No, I'm more interested in emotional pain, and you would describe it as ow, that's it.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
I would
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
Kiyo nodded
Soon Kiyotaka realized he made no friends while I have made some, but they are very cautious around me.
Rekka
I have my milkshake. I will live!
I hummed as I leaned back in my chair.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
It is cold, so you still need to be careful
Kiyotaka had no food for lunch and was checking my temperature as I had my chair pushed up against his desk he is sitting at.
Horikita Suzune
You're both pitiful
Rekka
We have reasons that we are alone, but I really don't see any for you
I commented as I sipped my milkshake.
Horikita Suzune
I like to be alone
She defended a bit too quickly.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
Cafeteria?
I stood up quickly and Kiyotaka made sure I pushed the door open enough so I can fit my open umbrella through it.
Most find it strange that I have my umbrella open inside, but I go near a lot of windows that like to work with the sun and try to murder me.
We both exited the classroom.
Kushida Kikyo
Um...Ayanokoji and Rekka, right?
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
Kushida?
Kushida Kikyo
Thanks! I'm so glad you remembered my name!
Kushida exclaimed. I sipped my drink loudly to see her reaction and she only smiled at me.
Kushida Kikyo
Um, Can we talk?
Rekka
What about? I would like to know why your expression changes so much and you do a lot of moving.
Rekka
You purposefully move one area by bouncing repeatedly.
Kushida Kikyo
I was hoping I can hang out with you more, Rekka, but I didn't want you to force yourself.
She explained as we walked along.
Rekka
Oh, it's fine. I know some of my limits
Kushida laughed nervously
Kushida Kikyo
As Rekka explained before she can't feel the heat or the cold because of her condition.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
Her body heats up the same as everyone else's, but she doesn't sweat so she can't cool down and it causes her to faint quite easily
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
That's the main risk for her, so if it doesn't involve a lot of moving she's fine.
Kushida Kikyo
That's good! I also say you two seem close to Horikita.
Kushida revealed what she actually wanted to talk about.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
No, I wouldn't say that
Kushida Kikyo
But you two are the only ones she ever talks to!
Rekka
Every human needs some kind of human interaction, but I only think that is if you grew up with it or had a need for it, but didn't get any.
I added since I noticed people really like making bonds.
Kushida Kikyo
I want to be friends with everyone in school!
Kushida was shaking again, but it was mostly her boobs confusing us
Kushida Kikyo
So I asked Horikita for her contact information, but she turned me down...she said she didn't want to be friends with anyone.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
I think that's just how she is
Kushida Kikyo
I want to be friends with her!
She jumped forward and grabbed his hand then put it near her boobs
Kushida Kikyo
Won't you help me?
Kushida Kikyo
Can you aske he to -
I turned away from her as I sipped more of my milkshake.
She pulled me back by my arm.
Kushida is acting really weird, I think
She then hugged me tightly
Rekka
I'm weak to heat, but everything else is kind of useless against me like bullets.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
No, they aren't
Kiyotaka retorted making me laugh.
Kushida laughed nervously after I let her go and as the day went by we noticed mostly everyone wasn't paying attention during class and even the teacher didn't seem to care.
Sae left when the bell rang.
Horikita Suzune
This school is too indulgent.
Suzune called for our attention again to get a little human interaction, so she doesn't go insane.
Horikita Suzune
Students play around and nap in class, but the teacher never calls them out. Is this really an advanced school run by the government?
Rekka
Real hell is to come? There's always a build-up in books to a good plot twist.
I packed everything into my bag.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
Maybe they want to encourage student autonomy.
Suzune didn't even look at him.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
Hey, if you're on your way out, will you come with us?
Horikita Suzune
What are you after?
Rekka
More interactions with people, if you hang out with us then others will see it's fine to hang out with me.
I explained as I went over to her desk while smiling.
Horikita Suzune
I see. I'm glad you can get straight to the point.

"The language of friendship is not words but meanings."
- Henry David Thoreau
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
You know that cafe in the mall? The one where lots of girls hang out.
Rekka
Me even walking scares people
I explained as I was just being stared at for standing.
Rekka
And being with just Kiyo won't work since I'm always with him.
Suzune accepted my reasons and came with us. I put up my umbrella when we went outside and Suzune gave me a confused look.
Rekka
Its to keep the heat off me
Rekka
And it's fun to hit things with it.
Rekka
Of course people, too!
Suzune laughed a little then paused and turned away from us.
We arrived at the cafe without a word being spoken by Suzune while I talked about how I wanted to learn how to make a paper aeroplane just like the one someone threw in class.
Horikita Suzune
Its quite crowded.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
Is this your first time coming here, too?
Rekka
Ah, right, you're a loner.
Horikita Suzune
Was that a dig? You child.
Rekka
Loners fighting over who is lonelier.
Rekka
We are all lonely, let's go!
I pulled on Suzune's arm to a free table.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
What drink do you want?
Kiyotaka asked me as I put my umbrella down.
Rekka
I want to be able to run so just anything cold, but no milk.
I asked of him and sat down at the table.
Horikita Suzune
You don't like milk?
Suzune asked me as she sat next to me.
Rekka
When you have too much of something you hate it, but then I love that feeling.
She just gave me a confused look
Rekka
I don't hate many things or feel hate to often.
Rekka
But from your face, you must hate everything? What's it like?
Horikita Suzune
You're kind of annoying.
I grinned, and Kiyotaka came back with our drinks, he gave me an iced tea and after just one sip a wild Kushida appeared.
Kushida Kikyo
Horikita, what a coincidence! You too, Ayanokoji! Rekka!
Kushida Kikyo
Do you three come here often?
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
Today is our first time
Kushida Kikyo
I see. I'm here alon-
Kushida went to say, but I could tell Suzune was done and she then stood up.
Horikita Suzune
I'm leaving
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
Hey, we only just got here
Horikita Suzune
If Kushida is here you don't need me, do you?
Rekka
But people will be more likely to interact with her than me
Horikita Suzune
Go talk to someone yourself. You aren't a child.
Suzune flicked her hair back.
Horikita Suzune
Besides, I don't like this, what are you after?
Kushida Kikyo
C-come on, it was just a coincidence
Kushida decided to do horrible acting.
Horikita Suzune
The girls who were sitting here and the two at the next table over were all students from D class.
Rekka
I was curious as to why they were all gathered here.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
I'm impressed you recognised them, I didn't even notice.
Suzune looked at me with suspicion.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
Rekka didn't know of that part of the plan. She's always observant since anything can kill her
Horikita Suzune
We came here right after class ended, which means they could only have been in this cafe for a few minutes, too soon for them to be leaving.
Rekka
Well, that was an awful plan.
Rekka
Kushida just wanted to be friends with you and I wanted to see the results. It went as I expected, a bad plan with a paranoid girl, it wouldn't work and only leave a bad impression.
Kushida Kikyo
Horikita! Please be my friend!
Horikita Suzune
I want you to leave me alone. I won't trouble the class.
Kushida Kikyo
But you will be lonely all by yourself...
Horikita Suzune
I have never once felt lonely by myself
Horikita Suzune
You're wasting your time. Every word that comes out of your mouth disgusts me.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
Hey, are you sure about this?
Rekka
If you won't be friends with anyone you will be alone for the next three years.
Suzune started to walk past us.
Horikita Suzune
I have been alone for the last nine years, so I don't mind.
Horikita Suzune
Longer if you include Kindergarten.
Rekka
You remember how long so you really do want a friend.
I hummed and saw her flinch a little.
Rekka
I promise all I care for is interactions, do whatever you want even just poke me if that will help you.
Suzune silently walked off.
Kushida Kikyo
Sorry, I might have made Horikita hate you both.
Rekka
No! I'm glad I was involved. I got to see something new.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
Rekka is happy, so I'm fine
Kushida Kikyo
Maybe I can never be her friend...
Kushida was looking for sympathy, but I didn't care.
Rekka
People like her will crack, she has already started so just be there to catch her when she falls apart.
I added as I sipped my iced tea.
We started to head home and it was sunset making me grin since most of the sky is coloured in bright colours.
Rekka
It's sad but beautiful that it only lasts for a while.
I admired it then got pulled to the side.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
You nearly hit a pole
Rekka
Oh, sorry pole, I nearly murdered you!
I apologised to it making Kushida laugh.
Kushida Kikyo
If I can't even make friends with my own classmates, I guess my goal is still far away
Kushida Kikyo
Hey, Rekka, do you have a goal like me? You say you want a lot of interactions?
Rekka
I don't care for friends, I just like experiencing the world or seeing other people experience things, so I can understand what I won't ever be able to experience.
I explained and she seemed disappointed.
Kushida Kikyo
Oh, it's Ichinose!
Kushida exclaimed as we saw some blonde girl talking to another girl with a flower pin in her hair.
Kushida Kikyo
Ichinose Honami is from Class B. We became friends yesterday.
They waved at us and I waved back
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
You're even friends with students in other classes?
Kushida Kikyo
Yeah! There's a lot of nice people in Class B!
Kushida Kikyo
But this school is pretty amazing, huh? There are so many stores and we get 100,000 yen each month.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
That amount seems a bit excessive to me, though.
Rekka
With money or luxury, isn't there always a price?
Rekka
This school gives you a big benefit when you graduate, so it should be hell, but then I will die from the heat so it isn't hell. What is it then? A cloud? No, it's heaven, but there's no pain there, so heaven sucks
Kiyotaka tapped my head making me tilt my umbrella back to look at him and stop my rambling.
