Ayanokoji POV

It's a new day and the day the trial for Sudo begins, I call Sakura just before class as she picks up the phone

"A-Ayanokoji, h-hey" I hear sakura's soft voice over the phone as I get down to business

"Hello Sakura, I wanted to ask about the camera? Did you receive it yet?" I asked her as she replied with a sullen tone

"No..... I haven't yet, they're telling me to come pick it up at the store....." she said as I sighed

"Just wait, I'll be there in a second, we can go together and get the camera" I said as she replied a little hurriedly

"N-no! I-I can't m-make you waste more t-time on me! I'm a-already there, I just need to pick the order up....." she said as my eyes widened

Is the dumb. Did she not remember that creep is right there at the store and could follow her and even force her into an alley?

"I am coming there, no need to hurry." I said as she bummed a little over the phone, cutting the call

What the hell Sakura, why do you want me to be there when you are in so much danger?

I saw a pink haired girl that I had seen before on the way, Ichinose Honami from class B. A smart and capable leader from what I've observed from the outside, also extremely popular among the students as a whole

"A-ah hello! Are you Ayanokoji?" She called out to me as I stopped, looked at her and nodded

"Yes, did you need me for something?" I asked her as Ichinose shook her head

"Nope, I've just heard a lot about you! Like how you broke the world record, Miss Hoshinomiya told me!" Ichinose said as I nodded

It seemed the incident at the swimming pool had spread

"It was just a fluke honestly, regardless I need to go, let's meet again sometime later" I said as she made a sound

"Ah w-well, may I ask why you are in a hurry? I mean you aren't even going in the direction of the school, maybe I could help?" Ichinose said, extremely suspicious

Why is she so interested in my business? It's very off putting but I suppose I will play along

"I just need to go find a friend, it isn't anything big" I said as she nodded and replied

"Well maybe I can join you! It'll be easier to look with two people!" Ichinose said

What exactly is her deal, I wonder what her true intentions are, could it be Miss Hoshinomiya is interested in the affairs of class D and has realised I am a central figure?

I made my way towards the store with Ichinose in a hurried pace as I went inside to see no Sakura...... nor the creepy clerk....

Damnit. Did that dumbass really just let that guy follow her!?

I ran outside, hurriedly trying to hear or find her, she couldn't have gone that far. Ichinose followed me barely keeping up even in my slow speed

"A-Ayanokoji! What's happening! Why're you running!?" Ichinose yelled as I replied, a little more frustrated than just my monotone

"Someone made an extremely dumb decision and we need to find them. Look into any alley nearby and yell if you find anything." I said as I sped away, moving through alleys as fast as I could

If someone saw the speed I was moving at, they would think I wasn't human. I was moving faster than any human could've ever perceived.

I twisted and turned in radius of the area as I heard a familiar whimper
