It's Morning. Inside Suzune Horikita's room. The window curtain is closed. Suzune Horikita is sleeping on her side. The alarm that resembles a teddy bear that is on top of Suzune Horikita's bed rings.

Suzune moves a little bit to reach for the alarm.

She then sits up on her bed afterwards. Suzune sighs as she stands up and stretches her muscles to be awakened. She walks to open the curtains beside her.

At the wall close to her desk, there's a list of summer plans that Suzune Horikita prepared. The first is her life schedule which is composed of 6 hours of sleep, and three successive pairs of an hour of eating and 5-hour study. The second one is her ultimate goal – to reach A-Class. The last one is her daily activity chart for this season.

' We finished our term finals and began our summer vacation. '

Suzune took a quick bath, after a moment at 6:46 AM she wents out and dry her hair with the towel. She walks towards her room.

Suddenly she heard a tune coming from her phone.

Suzune grab her phone and see Kiyotaka calling her, with no hesitation she immediately turn it down.

For the second time, Kiyotaka calls Suzune; and similar to the prior case, she turned him down. Kiyotakai persistently calls her that is why for the third time Suzune Horikita gave him a chance to talk as she sighed.

" Can't you tell when you're being rejected? " Suzune irritatedly states.

She then started hearing laughter and snickering on the other line. At first, she was confused, but she then remembered the one person, who would laugh like that, and because of that realization her eyebrows started twitching.

" Ohayo, Suzu-chan~ " She heard a teasing tone coming from Karma.

" Horikita. " Kiyotaka spoke next.

" Nani? "

" Want to go to the pool toge- "

* Fwip

Suzune quickly cuts the call.

____________________________

It's now Evening. The rain pours moderately. Four figures stand close together. Three are wearing raincoats while the other one is holding an umbrella.

" We're steaming out here. Where is he? " Sudo impatiently tap his foot on the ground.

Someone immediately shows up behind them. Wearing similar attire to the other three do. He's also equipped with tools on his hands. Probably related to their operation tonight.

The figure reveals himself as Yamauchi as he apologise. " Sorry I'm late. "

" I told you to be on time! " Sudo scold.

Ike turn around to Yamauchi. " You got all the stuff we need, though, right? "

" Yeah, of course. " Yamauchi raise the bag he was carrying.

" Don't get the set-up point wrong. Operation: Peep in the Girls' Dressing Room. " Ike mutter.

Sudo add. " This will help us alleviate our loneliness. "

In this plan, this involves a special commander and five Argos members.

_________________________

Locale of Dormitories.

It's now Morning. Suzune packs all the accessories and stuff that she needs at the swimming pool. After she's done, she leaves the dormitory building.

She stops midway out of the building as she let out a sigh. " I have a bad feeling about this. "

" Huh? Horikita-san? " Suzune turns her head to see Yosuke walk towards her with Kei holding Yosuke's arm. " It's been a while, hasn't it? "

" Wow, Horikita-san! You're not dead? I haven't seen you at all since summer break started. " Kei muse.

Suzune's expression didn't change. " I merely did not need to see you people. "

" Oh? " Kei look away, clearly annoyed.

' Kei Karuizawa. With Kushida-san, she's one of the leaders of the two girl cliques in Class D. Dating Hirata-kun has recently increased her influence in the class. '

Kei is one of the students at the top of the Class D hierarchy. Because of that, she influences the female students on par with Kikyō Kushida. At the moment, she's dating Class D's effective leader, Yōsuke Hirata, which is strengthening her position. She's easygoing and a bit frivolous.

She's reckless with money and blew the 100,000 points she initially received on fashion and accessories. Afterwards, she got most of the girls in the class to give her some points and used them to finance her lifestyle. Seems often lacking in caution and consideration, but unlike Ken Sudō, she shows no signs of causing problems at this time.

Suzune then turn to Yosuke.

' And Yōsuke Hirata. A central figure among the class D boys and above average both in grades and in sports. He's also gregarious. I'm unable to grasp why he was placed into the "loser" Class D. '

The effective leader of Class D. Above average in both academics and athletics. He is forthright and considerate to others. No signs of problematic behaviour. He also earned the trust of students and teachers as a central figure in his middle school class. In both personality and abilities, he could be considered excellent, so many wondered why he was placed in Class D, the class of defectives.

Kind and attractive, he's very popular with girls. This popularity is limited not just to those in his own class, but earns him attention from girls in other classes, as well. At the moment, he's dating Kei Karuizawa, a central figure among the Class D girls. He is often seen with her around the school.

" Horikita-san, why don't you come hang out with your Class D friend from time to time? " Yosuke ask Suzune with a smile.

Suzune look away. " I do not need that. It would be significantly more effective to use the time studying or reading. "

" Oh, is that so? " Kei ask infuriated as she push Yosuke. " Let's go, Hirata-kun. I guess Horikita-san doesn't want to talk to us. "

" See you around, Horikita-san. "

Suzune watch as the two students leave. ' I don't need close companions. I've lived by myself all this time. "

_________________________

' What, then, am I doing here? ' Suzune ask herself.

The meeting place is a rain shelter near the school. There, Kiyotaka Ayanokōji, Karma Akabane, Suzune Horikita, Airi Sakura and Kikyō Kushida are waiting for the rest in their group

" You don't have any sunburn at all Sakura-san. Lucky! " Kikyo said before looking at Suzune. " I'm so glad you're coming with us, too, Horikita-san. " Kikyo giggled.

' Kikyō Kushida. The image of benevolence liked by both men and women. But I think she hates me. ' Suzune stared at her without saying anything.

One of the central figures among the Class D girls. Kikyo claims she wants to befriend everyone in the school and has friends among students of every class, year, and gender. Her good looks and cheerful demeanour mean she's naturally popular with men, but she's popular with women, too. This may be because she takes a lot of time to interact with her fellow girls, and is very caring toward them.

Many students respect her, which means she has tremendous influence within the class. She also does well in both athletic and academics. On top of that, her communication skills are excellent. She achieved the top grade in the class on the interview portion of her entrance exam.

Kikyō Kushida points her pointing finger up to denote emphasis on what she would say next. " I was hoping we could use this trip to get closer. Okay? "

' But why is it that when she hates someone, she tries to get closer to them? I don't get it. '

Suzune glances at Kikyō for too long which makes the stared person wondering why. Kikyō immediately responds by nodding. " What is it? "

Suzune ignored Kikyō's question. Sakura looked at Suzune, Karma and Kiyotaka's direction.

" Where are Ike-kun, Yamauchi-kun and Sudo-kun? They're not here yet? " Suzune ask the boys beside her.

Kiyotaka nod. " Yeah, I guess they were held up. "

Karma nods in confirmation, while smiling, but Suzune can clearly see that it was a smirk, making her eyebrows twitch once again.

" Sorry for the wait! " They hear Ike's voice.

Ike together with Yamauchi and Sudo approach the group.

" We overslept, sorry! "

Sakura tilt her head in confusion. " You overslept... but you're coming from the direction of the pool? "

The boys get nervous after realizing. Suzune Horikita looks at them like she knows what their plan is. Karma Akabane smirks even more and snickers, but hides it by bringing his hand to his mouth.

" W-Well. D-Don't sweat the details! " Ike let out a nervous laugh.

" A-A-Anyway, let's hurry! " Sudo anxiously smile at them as he motion them with his hand.

Kikyo excitedly cheer. " Yeah, let's go! Let's go! "

The group started to walk. Ike and Yamauchi look at each other.

Kanji Ike lean closely to Yamauchi as he raise his hand. ' [--•-•|-••• ••--•|•-|--•-•|-•] ("We messed up.") '

Yamauchi responds. ' [-••-|-• ••|••-• •--|•-•-•|---•-|-•••|--•--|-•--•] ( "We'll have another chance later.") '

The conversation above by Kanji Ike and Haruki Yamauchi is an exchange of Wabun Code, the Japanese counterpart of Morse code. They use pointing finger gesture for every "-" (Dah) while thumb pushing gesture for every "•" (Dit)

The boys are startled.

" Oh... hey! " A voice broke out.

Ichinose waves at the group while accompanied by several classmates, namely, Ryūji, Chihiro, Amikura, Shibata and 2 unnamed B-Class Students.

" You guys going to the pool too? " Ichinose ask.

___________________________

" Today's the last day it's open, after all. "

The girls are changing into their respective swimsuits.

" Yeah. Some others might come too. " Kikyo takes of her bra.

Suzune turns around and stares at Ichinose's bosoms.

" How long has your chest been that way? "

Honami Ichinose was changing but stopped when she head Suzune's question. She gasps in surprise.

" What? How long? " Ichinose lifts her chest before looking thoughtful. " Since the third year of middle school, I think. It just kept getting bigger. "

Ichinose glance back at Suzune. " What about it? "

Suzune turns to her back. " No reason. I now understand... why you always seem to have more going on than you can handle. "

Kikyō looks at Sakura who is changing into a rash guard. " Speaking of which, this might be the first time we've hung out with you, Sakura-san. Do you like swimming pools? "

Sakura zip up her suit before turning to Kikyo. " N-No, not especially... Ayanokōji-kun and Karma-kun invited me, so... "

" I see, I see! So it's because Ayanokōji-kun and Karma-kun invited you! " Ichinose smiles teasingly.

Kikyo change into her suit. " There have been a lot more people hanging out with Ayanokōji-kun and Karma-kun lately. They seem to have gotten closer with Ichinose-san, too. "

Suzune glances at Ichinose who smiled in response.

' That's true. ' Suzune turns to Ichinose. ' Honami Ichinose. The central figure of Class B. An incident during the first semester resulted in her helping out Class D, but I can't tell what she's really thinking. '

The central figure of Class B. Despite being only a first-year in high school, her intelligence, athletic ability, and communication skills are all extremely high. Even among Class A, there are few students with abilities on par with those of Honami Ichinose. She normally would have been in Class A, but certain circumstances forced her into Class B instead.

Cheerful, forthright, and honest, she is respected by both students and teachers alike. Of further note is her extreme popularity. Class B has greater friendship and interpersonal unity than other classes, and this is in great part due to her efforts. She is extremely beautiful, but she doesn't seem to be aware of it. At the moment, Class B and Class D are on friendly terms.

Kikyō looks at Suzune using her peripheral vision. " I bet you're feeling nervous, Horikita-san. But it doesn't matter to who wins first as there's two of them huh? "

" It doesn't matter to me who those boys get close to. " Suzune replied.

Kikyō closes her eyes. " Oh, really? "

Hideo Sotomura, the operation commander, uses his binoculars to look at their targets. He then utilized a phone to relay his message to all of the operation members.

" Young Lust to Phase 2. Time limit is today before the targets go home. " Hideo spoke.

D-Class students feel excited about what they see.Some girls are splashing water on one another while others choose to float using a buoy.

" Now, let's have lots of fun! " Ichinose enthusiast.

Both Ike and Sudo looked blessed glancing at the girls' outfits.

" Sakura-san, you bought a rash guard, huh? " Kikyo ask to the girl beside her.

Sakura hugged herself. " I don't like showing my bare skin in front of people... "

Ike and Sudo cheered. Kikyo shows of her bikini. " I got a brand new swimsuit, too. "

" Arigato!!!! " Both boys yelled in delight.

Kikyō gasps. She immediately noticed that something's a bit off. She glances around left and right. " Huh? Yamauchi-kun isn't here. "

Ike and Sudō were shocked by Kikyō's findings. The two boys immediately act as if their trying to find Yamauchi as they panicked.

" N-Now that you mention it... Where is he? "

" Oh? Wonder where he could've gotten off to! "

" Did we lose him, maybe? We should try to find– "

Ike quickly interrupt Kikyo with a sweat bead dropping from his forehead. " It's okay, it's okay! He probably just went to the bathroom! Anyway, let's go have fun! "

Sudo add by pointing to the other direction. " There's a volleyball court over there! Let's do it! Let's do that right now! "

Ichinose looked curiously at Sudo's shaking figure. " Wh-Why are you freaking out about it? "

Chihiro Shiranami and Mako Amikura at the sidelines are both a little bit frightened at how these boys react.

Argos-2 (Haruki Yamauchi)'s execution of Phase 2.

Yamauchi place the Cleaning in Progress sign along the corridor. Yamauchi is seen wearing the standard attire of a janitor so he won't be found out. With the tools needed to cloak himself in his hands, he enters the ladies room.

_____________________

" Um ... I'm not very good at sports. " Sakura shyly confess.

Kikyo raise her hand reassuringly. " Hey, it's okay. We have more boys on our side, anyway. "

Ichinose is held the volleyball on her palm. She's getting ready to serve it at any moment. " Okay, here we go! Take ... that! "

Ichinose's chest simultaneously bounces at the volleyball's flight.

Two girls walk across the hallway.

" Wonder if it'll be crowded. " Chiaki Matsushita told her friend.

" Could you lend me your suntan lotion later? " Maya Sato ask.

They then notice the sign saying Cleaning in Progress.

" Hey, what's going on here? Are we supposed to change in the bathroom? "

Haruki Yamauchi is installing the cameras in the room. However, it seems like he's experiencing difficulties as he clip his feet on the ladder.

" Damn it! The camera's not... cooperating... "

________________________

Ichinose turn to her right and see a crowd surrounding at one particular area. " What's that? "

" It's the bathroom. " Mako Amikura replied.

Chihiro Shiranami turn to Mako with a suggestive look. " You think something happened? I'll go have a look. "

" Hold it! "

Ike face to the girls with a scary look. " Who cares about some line right now? Focus! Focus! "

Mako Amikura and Chihiro Shiranami were both frightened at Kanji Ike's passion.

Kikyo turn to Karma and Kiyotaka with a worried look. " What's going on with Ike-kun? "

" I don't know. " Kiyotaka replied.

Karma 'thoughtfully' shrug, smirk not leaving his face. " Maybe he ate something that didn't agree with him. "

Hideo place his phone near his ear. " HQ here. Argos-2. Report in. "

Silence.

Hideo Sotomura soon became worried that something might have happened during Yamauchi's mission.

" Argos-2! What's going on? "

______________________

The wrench fell during Yamauchi's operation.

Yamauchi began to sweat. " I'm having trouble. I'm not sure a failure like me can handle something like this... "

" Have faith.. " He hears Hideo's voice from from Yamauchi's earpiece. " ... in yourself, and in your allies who have faith in you. Have faith that this is possible. "

_______________________

" There! " Sudo cried out as he smack the beachball over to his enemy's side.

" Can't get it! " Chihiro Shiranami fell on her back. She immediately stands up and pats the sand out of her back.

Kikyo frowned. " Hey, Yamauchi-kun's been gone a while, huh? Shouldn't we go look for him? "

" N-Nah! No need to worry, Kushida-chan. " Ike cuts in.

" But he might have run into some kind of trouble. "

" No, no, not at all! "

Kikyo's expression turn sad. " Ike-kun, aren't you worried about your friend? "

" Eh? " Ike turns his back away. ' Wait. Is she going to think I'm shallow? Manga taught me that women love male friendships... If this keeps up, she might... hate me. No, no, no, no, no! '

Ike sends a Wabun Code message to their headquarters, much to Ken Sudō's surprise. ' [-|--•|-••-•|••-•• ••|---] ("Not good Abort.") '

Hideo received Ike's plea for mission abortion through his binoculars. He then proceed to call Haruki Yamauchi using his phone.
