NOVEL NEXT Chapter 13: Swimming Class
(Ayanokoji's PoV)
Some days have passed since that incident. I was called by Chabashira-sensei since I was near the scene before all cameras near me suddenly crashed on their own and got destroyed.
There wasn't any earthquake that day, and it seems that the footprints of mud, or chocolate, whatever, didn't appear in the cameras since their angles aren't focused on the floor.
I was told that it must be my imagination. Afterall, there are no such things as ghosts.
I looked at Horikita who was talking to Onodera, while eating a chocolate.
No. I must have mistaken mud for chocolates that day.
It's not like Horikita has the ability to turn invisible.
That's impossible.
And, did her height increase a bit again? And her other proportions too?
"Good morning, Ike!"
"Good morning, Yamauchi!"
Yamauchi entered the class, greeting Ike enthusiastically.
"I am really excited about today!"
"Yes! Afterall, today is swimming class!"
In ANHS, unlike most high schools, both boys and girls have swimming classes at the same time.
And this means that girls will wear swimsuits, and show-off a lot of skin.
Probably that's why Yamauchi, Ike and Sudo, dubbed as the 'Idiot Trio', are so excited.
The girls looked at them in disgust, but they looked unaffected.
"Ayanokoji-boy, you seem to be interested in joining in conversation with them."
Koenji, my seatmate, suddenly talked to me.
Will I finally have someone to talk to?
"Not really."
But, admitting that I want to join their conversation now will only attract hatred from the girls. And well, they are loud anyway, so I can hear them pretty clearly.
Instead, I should try talking to Koenji-
Oh. He has already started focusing on his mirror, combing his hair.
So, I started focusing on Idiot Trio's conversation.
"I am excited about seeing Kushida-chan in a swimsuit!"
Ike proudly exclaimed, and Yamauchi scoffed.
"That clumsy girl? You know, Horikita-chan's much better. She is like, an Ojou-sama, and looks really mature. There is a lot of room for growth, but I feel like she would be comparable to Sae-chan-sensei in the future!"
Yamauchi told Ike about his preference, and unlike Kushida, who chose to ignore the conversation, Horikita glared at him, and he sat down on his desk in fear, hiding behind Ike.
"She is quite cute when she glares like that. I bet she is a tsundere."
He still had the courage to mutter that.
Sudo, on the other hand, was even more courageous than Ike and Yamauchi.
"I mean, wouldn't Kushida and Horikita together..."
Oh. There has been a rumour spreading that Kushida has developed feelings for Horikita. To casually mention that...
Horikita picked three chalks, and with precise precision, threw them in quick succession. Each chalk hit the three idiots perfectly on the centre of their heads. For Yamauchi, who was hiding behind the standing Ike, the chalk first hit the ceiling, and then his head.
...Is Horikita a ninja?
Everyone clapped at Horikita's skills, and she was certainly embarrassed about everyone clapping. Her cheeks momentarily turned pink, before she covered her face with a textbook to hide her embarrassment.
... She can't be a ghost, can she?

(First PoV)
The swimming classes arrived, and as I entered the changing room, I could feel every girl staring at my chest.
"Horikita-san, how are you growing them so fast?"
Nene Mori teasingly asked me, so I just answered, "Chicken." and proceeded to change into my swimsuit.
Today, I was wearing regular clothes, and had Suzu stay in my bag, in which she was disguised as my swimsuit and watching Tom and Jerry on my Tablet while wearing earphones.
Parts of her is still inside me at all times, so we are never really alone.
'Suzu, it's time.'
Ugh.
She grumbled, but stopped watching her cartoon. I opened my bag, and there was a swimsuit inside it.
As I put Suzu on, I felt comfortable again. Suzu really forms the best and comfortable clothes for me. She is a million times better than real clothes.
Hehe!
"Wow Horikita-san... you really look hot."
Sato said, and I shrugged. Well, I am not going to deny that.
Then, we came out of the changing room, and went to the school's indoor competition swimming pool, though there weren't any lanes in them.
"Wow! The pool is so big!"
A girl exclaimed, and I had to admit. It was indeed really big.
All this money is wasted on high-schoolers. The government should instead spend this money on filing lawsuits against the infamous black companies of Japan. That will naturally solve some of the birth crisis.
I ignored the boys doing their peeping, including Ayanokoji. I think I just felt him glancing at my ass.
I glanced at him, and he quickly averted his eyes.
Hmm... his body isn't that bad. If he wasn't so messed up in the head, he might have been even attractive.
"Alright. It looks like not everyone is participating huh."
I looked at Sakura sitting on the side.
I have to somehow bring Sakura into my fold.
Og Horikita, that idiot, expelled Sakura, who might have contributed 0 points, in favour of keeping Kushida, whose contribution was in negative.
Og Horikita may have been booksmart, but she was severely lacking in INT.
Sakura is going to be a money making machine for me in the future.
'Suzu, if you ever feel that you might create another symbiote, tell me immediately.'
Yes Mumma
There wasn't really much to do. I absentmindedly nodded along Kushida trying to talk to me, showing clear disinterest in her.
Then, the swimming competition happened, in which I won with 1.8 seconds margin from Onodera.
Atleast I got 5K points as a reward.
