COTE : Backed By Black Technology System

After waiting for a few minutes, Kanda Shuichi's anticipation was rewarded when Ichinose Honami nodded.

"That's true. It seems like our school doesn't have any rules saying that teachers must wear suits. Hoshinomiya-sensei often wears casual clothes when she holds our class meetings."

With Ichinose's confirmation, Kanda Shuichi's tone became more excited and a bit urgent.

"Right? I thought the same thing. If it were male teachers like Mashima-sensei or Itaba-sensei, it'd be fine for them to wear suits for class, but if female teachers also had to wear suits, wouldn't that be a bit unfair?"

Listening to Kanda Shuichi, Ichinose felt like something was a bit off, but she still thought there was some truth to what he was saying. After all, who doesn't like to look good? Chabashira-sensei wears a suit to work every day, and that must be really tiring for her.

"Yeah… it does seem like that."

So, Ichinose nodded a little confusedly.

"Anyway, the students in our class decided that I should represent them and give Chabashira-sensei a gift, but we didn't know her clothing size, so I've been worrying about it."

Here it comes—the real plan!

What's the real plan, you ask?

This is the real plan!

It was everyone's idea, and I was just pushed forward as the representative. This isn't something I wanted to see, definitely not.

"So that's why you were asking about my height and weight," Ichinose said, suddenly understanding. "But I don't think I'm a good reference compared to Chabashira-sensei."

"That's true," Kanda Shuichi replied, nodding in regret. "I think you're a bit bigger than her."

But you think that's all?

Of course not!

The moment Ichinose showed up, Kanda Shuichi had already worked out the entire plan in his head!

Generally, girls finish developing around the age of 16 to 18. While a few might experience more growth after that, most people's bodies are pretty set by this age.

So, as Chabashira-sensei's close friend from high school, Hoshinomiya-sensei would definitely know Chabashira-sensei's body measurements!

That was the real reason Kanda Shuichi had been talking to Ichinose for so long!

"I heard that Hoshinomiya-sensei and Chabashira-sensei used to be really good friends."

Some things are better left unsaid, but Kanda Shuichi was confident that Ichinose would get the hint.

Sure enough, when Ichinose heard this, her eyes immediately lit up.

Since they wanted to surprise Chabashira-sensei, Kanda Shuichi and the others couldn't just ask her directly about her measurements. 

But if they could get the information from Hoshinomiya-sensei, Kanda Shuichi was sure she would help keep it a secret.

Seeing the look on Ichinose's face, Kanda Shuichi knew it was done. Sure enough, when it comes to things like this, no student can resist! Even top students like Ichinose are no exception!

"Kanda-kun, I have to go now, but I'll contact you later!"

Ichinose stood up, her eyes sparkling, and the two of them exchanged a knowing look.

It's done!

Sae-chan, I look forward to seeing you walk into the classroom in your new clothes!

After Ichinose left, Kanda Shuichi started browsing the website of the campus store to find clothes suitable for an adult woman.

He didn't expect much, but when he looked, he was quite surprised.

The school store not only had a wide range of clothes, but it also offered customization. As long as you had a design and measurements, and paid an extra fee, they could make custom clothes, even allowing you to choose the fabric.

The only downside was that they were much more expensive than regular clothes, probably at least 50% more expensive.

But...

For someone like Kanda Shuichi, those small amounts of money were nothing, totally ignorable.

Cheap clothes have bad quality, but expensive ones might not necessarily be what Chabashira-sensei would like. So, even though there were many items, there weren't many that Kanda Shuichi could actually choose from.

Looking at those beautiful clothes, Kanda Shuichi felt a bit stuck, not knowing what to pick.

Well, it's still early, and summer break is still a month away. No need to rush.

Just then, he received a message from Miyake, so he decided to go eat.

Following Miyake's message, Kanda Shuichi arrived at the restaurant where Miyake was. It was a high-end Western restaurant. Kanda Shuichi stood at the entrance and spotted Miyake Akito sitting at a table near the edge, but at that moment, Miyake's attention wasn't on him.

Looking in the direction of his gaze, Kanda Shuichi saw an interesting scene.

In the center of his line of sight were Sudou and the others, with a few unfamiliar students sitting next to them.

"Yo, isn't this the so-called elite from A-class? Didn't you say just a few days ago that you didn't want us here? Why is it that today it seems like you didn't even notice us?" Sudou arrogantly sat at a table and sarcastically said.

But as soon as Sudou finished speaking, Ike immediately corrected him.

"You're wrong, Ken. They're not A-class anymore, they're B-class now."

"Ken, and you, Kouji, how can you speak like that? They're obviously feeling down," Yamauchi Haruki quickly scolded the two, then turned to comfort the A-class students. "It's okay, we in D-class already used up all our starting points. You guys getting 70 points is already very impressive!"

Indeed, after seeing this, Kanda Shuichi once again felt that joining D-class was the right choice. Everyone here was talented, and they knew how to talk, it felt like watching a play every day.

While watching the drama unfold, Kanda Shuichi sat down next to Miyake.

"Akito, what made you decide to come here?"

"Actually, it was Ike who invited some of the class to watch the show. We didn't have anything else to do, so we came to watch," Miyake shrugged, looking quite pleased.

He had been looked down on by A-class before, and now seeing them suffer made him feel good. Everyone's young, and when you take a hit, it feels great to get back at them.

"By the way, Shuichi, aren't you going to stop this?"

"What are you talking about? I'm not Hirata," Kanda Shuichi picked up the menu on the table and looked at it. 

"Besides, why stop them? Isn't this interesting? If they're upset, it's better to vent than to keep it in."

"As expected of you," Miyake gave Kanda Shuichi a thumbs-up.

From afar, the A-class students, who were being sarcastically mocked by the trio, looked furious.

"Just a bunch of trash..."

"We're flawed? Then what about you guys, who can't even surpass us flawed ones? Are you trash?"

"And unrecyclable trash, at that?"

"No, no, no, that's too much. They're still useful, at least recyclable. Trash needs to be sorted, so don't get it wrong."

To be mocked so harshly by the three idiots from D-class.

The A-class students were filled with rage, but as they say, "The victor is the king." D-class had won big this time, and A-class had suffered a crushing defeat.

The losers had no right to yell at the winners, and they couldn't argue either, because anything they said would just make them seem like barking dogs.
