It had to have been a coincidence, right?

It can't possibly be.

The person I've been looking for all this time is Ayanokoji?

But if that's the case, what's with the way he acts? Why isn't he in the spotlight?

The only big things he's done so far are help us on the midterms, and sort out the personal problems going on with Sakura?

Shouldn't he know who I am?

How has Kushida not been expelled by now? Is it because of me?

Oh god, what does he think of me?

I shook my head.

No, it had to have been a coincidence, a scary one, but one nonetheless.

Ayanokoji wouldn't act the way he does if he was the one I was looking for.

He's supposed to have the ideal mind, a perfect human created by...

By...

What?

What was he created by?

It wasn't the same thing I had been made by, I know that.

Yet another memory to recover.

Fantastic.

"Woah, this place is great!"

"Hehe, of course it is."

I looked up from where I was to see Ike, Hirata, and a bunch of others all standing in the spot Ike's group had found.

There was a small river flowing North, with some artificial areas as well, such as rocks.

I spoke up after noticing some people looking doubtful about setting up camp here.

"We should make this our main base, it'll make it easier to earn points, and it's better t-than being out in the open over on the beach."

"But wouldn't it be easy to see who the leader is?"

I shook my head.

"That's not possible. In a forest like this that is around us, even if anybody saw w-who our leader were, we'd be able to catch them."

I pointed over to the device used for claiming the spot.

"Not to mention whenever we have to renew the spot, we can just cover the d-device in a bunch of leaves and have many people hover around it, so any outsiders can't actually see who renewed the spot. Not to mention, t-the only way we can truly protect this place is by having all of our stuff here."

"But this place isn't good for hiding, we're surrounded."

I looked over at Ike.

"That is a fair point, however, this could be solved fairly easily, as I s-said before, we could cover the device, and arrange ourselves in a way so that if someone were to try and sneak in then t-they'd be out in the open."

"So don't put any of our tents or things like that near the trees?"

"Exactly."

"It's settled then, let's have our base be at this spot." Hirata announced.

I smiled, and many of us cheered.

"But, now that that's over, who's going to be the leader?"

That sudden question had everyone quiet.

Picking the leader will be something very important, and we can't make mistakes.

I could tell most of these people didn't want such a burden on their backs, and Kushida spoke up, calling everyone to gather around in a circle.
