Classroom of the Elite: Prepared

Chapter 24 - The conclusion he made

It was yesterday when I fought the likes of Nagumo, Hosen, Utomiya and Yagami. A new beautiful and sunny day arose, after washing my hair and putting on new cloth, I was now headed towards the spawn where my classmates from Class B were located at. On the cruise ship we all agreed to meet at the spawn on the sixth day. The reason for meeting up was to check if every single one of us has successfully avoided expulsion. Even though they agreed on reaching Class A they still haven't fundamentally changed. Of course we'd check the partners of those who don't show up on the meeting.

The distance I had to cover wasn't too long to my luck. As I arrived, I scanned my surroundings and in the corner of my right eye I saw my classmates already waiting for me. Kanzaki, Shibata and the other had a worried expression until now but when they spotted me they all lightened up and had sighs of relief.

Shibata: "Yo Ayanokoji don't scare us, we thought you got eliminated."

Ayanokoji: "Hello Shibata, sorry for scaring you guys but as you can see I'm perfectly fine."

Kanzaki: "Good thing we all made it through the exam safely."

Ichinose was also present and she then for the first time spoke up in front of everyone. She looks to be doing fine, it was like she regained everything and now she looks even more composed than before. I'll be putting that to the test later.

Ichinose: "Yes you are right, so do we have people who want to drop out of the exam now that we're successfully through the exam?"

Some girls: "Yeah that was really exhausting, I'd like to rest in the ship."

Kanzaki: "I am fine with that but I still think we should aim for first place since we desperately need the class points."

Ichinose: "I agree, I'll stay for a little longer but I'm not sure how long I can endure it. What about you guys?"

She pointed at us boys with a bright smile. I figured that the girls of this class would pick comfort over class points. As long as they don't get expelled they're fine. I'm not implying that they don't want to aim for Class A but they wouldn't do something so exhausting, at least they're somewhat more serious to reach Class A than before.

Shibata: "I'm fine and sure that I can last for at least two more days, what about you Kanzaki and Ayanokoji?"

Kanzaki: "I'm also doing fine for now and you Ayanokoji?"

Ayanokoji: "I'm also doing fine. I'm planning on winning this exam."

People from my class were now paying attention to me thus the majority was wearing a surprised expression. Some raised their eyebrows from suspicion, they probably questioned my ability in their mind. It was also surprising since I was always the one who underestimated his own abilities and never attracted attention. After a brief moment of silence, Amikura spoke up.

Amikura: "Well then you better win."

Ichinose: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself Ayanokoji-kun."

Shibata: "You got this bro!"

Ayanokoji: "Yes but before we part ways, can I talk with you in private Ichinose?"

If I didn't surprise someone before with my statement then I can say for certain that I did now. Everyone was looking at me with the suspicion that I might do something bad, but there wasn't anything we could do on this island when everyone is watching us.

Ando: "What do you plan on doing to her Ayanokoji-kun?"

Shibata: "Yeah why do you want to talk to her?"

Ayanokoji: "If I could say it out loud then I would but this is a private matter. Is that fine Ichinose?"

Ichinose: "Uhm, sure!"
