Besides the lessons regarding fighting against the CE, there were lessons like those in other high schools like science and mathematics as well as lunch breaks.

In the morning, at noon and in the evening were all times for meals. When everyone of D-cla.s.s went to the school cafeteria, they came to realize the injustices that were thrusted upon them.

「WHAT THE h.e.l.l!」

Eisuke’s voice echoed throughout the cafeteria. Who knew how many times he had shouted today?

The first years numbered almost 150 people, and to cater for the whole student body they needed to seat 450. Due to how the chairs and tables lined up, this meant the room was fairly cramped.

But inside that beastly dining hall was an area covered with a luxurious carpet along with high-cla.s.s and s.p.a.cious tables which wouldn’t lose to those in a n.o.ble’s residence.

Furthermore there were also reclining chairs fully equipped with a ma.s.sage function and a terrace to enjoy afternoon tea.

Undoubtedly, that place was a special privilege for those at the top of the hierarchy, a special area only for the A-cla.s.s.

「What THE h.e.l.l, even what they eat is high-cla.s.s!」

The meals distributed to D-cla.s.s were normal rations, even for the SDF or high-school students, such as rice, miso soup, pickles, salad, croquettes, and milk for drink.

But, what everyone in the A-cla.s.s ate were things that obviously looked like high-cla.s.s french food, even at glance.

While they didn’t receive any wine, which was to be expected since they were still minors, something resembling a high-cla.s.s grape juice was poured for them.

「Even I’m tired of getting angry at this all the time」

「Me too~」

Even Hinata lost her willpower to get angry, deciding to just choose a seat and begin her meal.

Souji too tapped his friend’s shoulder and urged him to sit.

「Just be patient – look, even the senpais and the other cla.s.ses say nothing of it, so calm down」

「Uhm, you’re right…」

Eisuke reluctantly agreed and looked at his surroundings.

B-cla.s.s and C-cla.s.s, the second years, even the third year students. Except for the ones from the A-cla.s.s, all of them sat at the same table and shared the same meals.

To the bitter end, the special ones were only the A-cla.s.s.

「This is bad for my heart, I should raise this issue with the PTA!」

「That’s impossible, please give up on that idea」

A dignified voice resounded from behind Eisuke, who was still complaining.

Turning back he saw an ikemen who could easily match the looks of models, although the swellings on her chest told him that he, was in fact, a she.

[TL Note: ikemen – a really cool, handsome looking guy.]

「May I sit beside you?」

「By all means」

If he was a girl that smile would have been enough to make him fall for her, but Souji just nodded back at her without being disturbed at all.

「E~rm, who’re you?」

「Third year, Sakiyama Reika. I’m your senpai」

[TL Note: 先山麗華(さきやまれいか)]

To Eisuke’s rude question, the handsome girl called Reika replied without erasing the smile on her face.

「Sorachi Souji」

「Endou Eisuke. Then, what business do you have here, senpai? 」

Though his introduction was polite, Eisuke’s manner was still rough.

It seemed like he intuitively understood that she would be his (an unpopular boy’s) bitter rival.

But, even if she guessed that, it didn’t change Reika’s att.i.tude.

「I’ve heard your conversation, so just treat this as advice from a senpai to her kouhai」

「Is it regarding the protest to the PTA?」

「That’s right, you should avoid actions like leaking the internal information of the police」

「Why?」

Though Eisuke wasn’t seriously trying to raise an issue with the PTA, he still felt uneasy after hearing what she said.

「It’s fine if all you talk about is your own well-being with family and friends. But the secrets of the special forces, especially regarding the A-cla.s.s and Phantom armaments, shouldn’t be leaked outside … no, you shouldn’t even think about leaking these things.」

「Does that mean, they’re monitoring for those things?」

「It’s more like censors.h.i.+p or inspection. Just know that they’re monitoring the internet, emails, or letters from the special force」

With such dangerous words coming out from her lips, the first years who were listening suddenly become noisy.

「What the h.e.l.l is that…!?」

「No, isn’t that normal?」

Though Eisuke was surprised with that, Souji just felt puzzled by it.

「They’re just monitoring the soldiers to protect military secrets, right?」

「Ahaha, it seems your lips are tightly shut. Uhm, I agree with you」

Could it be, a military otaku?  ――Reika laughed merrily while looking at Souji as if he was something very interesting.

「As you say, doing checks is a normal duty if you’re a soldier. But, there are only kids entering the special forces so many of them can’t understand this fact」

Reika smiled wryly as if she wanted to say something too.
