Y1 Vol3: Deserted Island 6

(Ayanokoji kiyotaka's POV)

Taday marks the 6th and technically final day of the exam, me and my other classmates gathered by the beach as hiratsuka-sensei called the roll, everyone was thankfully present once again, yuuichi included.

I head back to camp with everyone else , for today's plan, a change of leaders is the last piece but the only way to do so is if we have a legitimate reason.

Hiratsuka-sensei gave us a charitable offer by changing yuuichi into leader, i am sure she won't give it to us again.

I decide to scan the camp for yuuichi, i spot him standing by himself leaning to a tree, a small smile appears on his face.

"Good morning" i said as i approached him.

"morning, i assume that you're not here for friendly chats so cut to the point, what's your plan this time"

I sigh before saying in a monotone tone of voice.

"we gotta get you off the pedestal of the leader, senku and karma are onto you most likely, ryuuen is fooled by you i think"

"ahh so that's your plan, not too shabby but i should get some credit for all of it, my work boosted this winning"

"no not really, you mainly got ryuuen off my back which is good i admit but ayano and ryuuji were the biggest helpers"

Yuuichi's eyes narrowed as he spoke coldly.

"you value those pawns more than me? Someone equal to you? Aren't you just craving to be beaten? Where did that all go huh ayanokoji?!"

"perhaps i do, their friendship is true to me at least, our relationship is vague at best, you know about me and i don't know about you, there's no trust within it"

"wow if professor ayanokoji heard you say words like these he'd flay you y'know?"

My fists clenched at the mention of that man, how much of my life does yuuichi katagiri really know?.

"what exactly do you know about me?" i asked

"hmm ayanokoji kiyotaka, born to an unimpressive mother and an impressive scientist father, trained in the 4th generation of the whiteroom, only survivor of it and currently escaping his father in this snobby elite school"

"just that?" i asked as i calmed down and tilted my head

"yeah? There anything else to you?"

"no not really" i lied

"bullshit but sure, now back on topic whats your plan?"

I pointed northwest and spoke calmly and said.

"we're going to meet with senku"

"huh?! Senku?!!"

I ignored yuuichi's comment and moved past him, he instinctively followed me.

Our journey to class A camp was a short 15 minute one, i stopped in my tracks as did yuuichi.

"look" i whispered quietly while pointing at two figures standing in front of one another.

One is a burly bald man with a serious expression on his face, he is acompanied by a green haired boy.

The other is a familiar magenta haired boy with a wide grin on his face, with him are two people, one being ibuki mio and the other is a dark skinned man wearing sunglasses.

I leaned a little bit to listen to their conversation.

"i am glad you agreed to meet up with us here, ryuuen" the bald man spoke.
