In the morning, Shinji once again went to the bathroom, to see a message he received from the person he called, which contained the information he asked for, and to tell Shinji that they completed what he asked them for. Satisfied, Shinji, as he said, started a party once again at 12:00 AM.

Half an hour later, Shinji noticed someone coming into the pool area, which made him smirk but made his classmates stop what they were doing and frown.

Why? Because that person was none other than Mio Ibuki, the same girl who his classmates know that betrayed them in the survival test, and they also think she's responsible for setting their camp on fire.

"What the hell is she doing here!?" shouted Ken in anger

"It's fine, Sudo. I allowed her to come. You all can continue to party, while I talk to her" Shinji said, and raised the volume of the music, making his classmates to return doing what they were doing, and then stood up, and approached Mio, who was still standing by the entrance to the pool area

"Hi, Ibuki-San! Did you come here to have fun?" he asked with a grin

"You know I didn't. I assumed that I was considered as one of the other students who's allowed to enter, and wanted to talk to you about your offer"

"Unfortunately, I can't talk to you right now. I told you guys yesterday, that I'm not talking about school-related things during the party"

"Then don't talk. Just answer my questions"

"...I guess I can make an exception for you since you're finally willing to answer my offer"

"You're the one who ended the six groups' tests, right?"

"Yes"

"... And you said that you'll crush Ryuen, and give me the leadership of class C"

"Well, you won't stay class C for long, but I will make you one of the leading figures in your class"

"And you won't target our class?"

"As long as the majority of your class aren't supporting Ryuen"

"And how is that going to happen? Even if we lose in this test, it still won't be enough to sway my classmates. It'll only make a few students doubtful"

"You think I don't know that? Taking Ryuen down won't happen in a day, you know? We will start sway students to your side, after the next test, where Ryuen will probably resort to violence"

"You think he'll attack you during a test? Are you an idiot?"

"Not directly at least. Considering the nature of the next special test, he'll have plenty of opportunities to hurt me indirectly. However, to do that, he'll have to damage your class's chances to win the test"

"You're saying you know what the next special test is?"

"Who knows? You'll know only if you decide to accept my offer"

"... Can you ensure that Ryuen won't hurt me?"

"He won't even know that you did something..." Shinji said with a smirk

"...Fine. I'll accept the offer"

"Great! I'll be in contact with you soon, so be on alert. I'll also arrange a meeting with the ones within your class that will help you"


~~~ Time Skip ~~~

~~~ With Shiho ~~~

Shiho was now in a certain place on the ship, where there were no cameras. She was told to come here by an anonymous message, who stated that he knows how to execute the perfect revenge on Kei, and told her to come here, so they could talk.

Then, she heard steps from around the corner. As the steps got closer, she heard a male's voice says:

"Shiho Manabe. 16 years old. A daughter to a single mom, Saori Manabe, who worked on numerous jobs throughout the last 15 years, so she could support her daughter" said the voice

"How do you know about my mother?" asked Shiho in anger

"It doesn't matter how I know. What matters is..." said the voice, and finally revealed himself, and Shiho recognized him. It was Shinji Ayanokoji, from class D. She knew he was Kei's boyfriend, so she asked:

"You're the one who texted me?"

"I am"

"You're joking, right? You want to help me take revenge on your girlfriend?"

"Of course not. That was just an excuse to make you come here" Shinji said with a smirk

"What the hell? Then I'm leaving!" said Shiho, and started to walk away, but Shinji gripped her arm tightly, hurting her. When he grabbed her arm, she noticed he wore black leather gloves on his hands.

"What are you doing!? You're hurting me!"

"You've done a big mistake, Manabe-San. And now, you're going to pay for it" said Shinji, and took out a phone that wasn't the student ID out of his pocket, and started to play a video.

The video started, with the camera constantly moving as the person who had it walked, making her assume that the camera was on the person's glasses. Then, something came into view that shocked Shiho. The person looked to the side and the camera showed her mother's house

"What the hell is this!?" said Shiho, starting to feel scared a little

"Shut up and watch!" said Shinji with a cold tone that scared Shiho, so she returned to look at the video.

The person approached the door and knocked on it. The person waited a few seconds, and then her mother opened the door

"Yes? How can I help you?" asked Saori

"Hello, Ms. Manabe. I was your daughter's junior in her school" a female voice said, and Shiho realized it was the person with the glasses.

"What a lovely young lady you are. What can I do for you?"

"I heard that Manabe-Senpai started to attend at Tokyo Metropolitan, so I wanted to ask you about the registration process since I'm planning to try to attend there next year!" said the female

"Is that so? Then come in. I'm sure we can talk about it on a cup of tea" said Saori, and turned her back to the female, and started to walk back inside, intending on leading the girl inside.

Shiho heard the sound of the door closing behind the female, and then, she looked horrified as she saw the female's hand, who had the same glove as Shinji had on it, holding a syringe in her hand. She saw the female inserting the syringe into her mother's neck, and saw how her mother fainted, and the video ended.

Shiho was horrified, as Shinji whispered in her ear:

"Don't worry. This time, the poison wasn't deadly. However, if you don't want that in the next time for the poison to be deadly, you'll listen to everything I'll tell you to do"

"H-How do I know that it's not fake?"

"I can assure you it's not. Tomorrow, your homeroom teacher will call you, and tell you that you're mother is being hospitalized, and that will be my proof. Of course, I'm sure you know what will happen to your mother if you tell someone about me or the video. Am I clear?"

Shiho could only nod, as her eyes looked lifeless

"Now, you'll return to your room, and you'll act as if everything is normal. Tomorrow, after you'll speak to the teacher, you'll apologize to Kei in front of your group. Only when I heard that you apologized, I'll contact you again. As long as you'll listen to what I say, I won't hurt your mother. Now go" said Shinji, and Shiho left

The thoughts that were in Shiho's mind, were thoughts that clung to the possibility that he's lying. However, those thoughts will get crushed the next day, by her homeroom teacher.


~~~ With Shinji ~~~

After Shiho left, Shinji called the same person he called last night

"Well? Did it work?" asked the person

"Yes. You did a great job"

"Hi hi hi... Shinji-Nii complimented me..." the person said with joy

"Did you got rid of the camera?"

"Yep! Burned it to ashes!"

"Good. Don't bother to call this number anymore. I'll probably contact you on THAT day, and if I'm lucky, I might even manage to come and see you"

"But I thought it was forbidden for you to leave the campus"

"It was also forbidden to contact outsiders, but here we are talking. Good night"

"Good night, Shinji-Nii!" the person said, and Shinji hanged up

'Now, I have all the pieces to take down Ryuen...' Shinji thought as he threw the phone to the sea


"Shinji, Manabe apologized to me, just like you said! How did you do it?"

That was the message Shinji received from Kei, at 3:00 PM on the final day of the test.

"It doesn't matter. What's important is that she did apologize. Next time, you'll be the one to deal with the bully. There's no point in training you if I'll just protect you all the time" he texted Kei back

"Yes! Next time, I won't disappoint you! Though, I hope there won't be a next time..."

'She apologized already? Looks like she cares about her mother more than I expected...' Shinji thought with a smirk, and then sent Shiho a message:

"I heard you apologized. Meet me in the same place, at the same hour today"

"Shinji! Come and join us!" Kikyo called him from the pool

With a wide grin, Shinji took off his shirt and jumped into the pool


~~~ Time Skip ~~~

It was now a few minutes before the disclosure of the test results. During the day, two more groups' ended their tests before the allocated time. One group was the Horse group, where the target was from class D. Shinji decided to ignore it, as it won't affect them too much.

But, when the Rabbit group's test has ended too, Shinji started to get suspicious. However, one conversation with Kiyotaka revealed that he was the one responsible for ending the Rabbit group's test, so Shinji calmed down.

"So? How many points do you think we'll receive in this test?" Teruhiko, one of Shinji's roommates, asked Shinji

"Well, if I calculated right, we're supposed to get 400 cp in this test" Shinji answered

"400 cp!? That's amazing!" said Haruki, another one of Shinji's roommates

"Is it enough for us to become class C?" asked Akito Miyake, another one of Shinji's roommates

"It's supposed to be. Together with the survival test, we earned 696 cp during this class trip. Class C didn't receive any points in the survival test and considering that we guessed all of their targets, we're supposed to have more cp than them, making us class C" said Teruhiko

"If you told me that we'll become class C before the class trip, I would've laughed at you!" said Haruki

"He's right. I wouldn't believe it as well" said Akito

Then, all of the first-year students received a message from the school:

"The special test is now officially over. The results are:

Rat Group - Result 3 - Class D: +50cp. Class A: -50cp

Cow Group - Result 4 - Class B: +50cp. Class C: - 50cp

We will reach the campus tomorrow evening. Until then, you're free to explore this ship's attractions"


~~~ Time Skip ~~~

Shinji walked to the place he's supposed to meet Shiho. When he arrived there, Shiho was already waiting for him, with a worried expression.

When she saw him, she immediately approached him and asked:

"I did as you asked! What about my mother?"

"Don't worry. Your mother will recover in a day or two. As I said, the poison we gave her isn't deadly, so you don't need to worry so much"

"So? What do you want me to do?"

"Your mother is that important to you, that you already resolved yourself?"

"Just tell me already what to do!"

Shinji looked Shiho's eyes and saw only worry and desperation in them

"Okay then. As I'm sure you noticed, Ryuen and me have some kind of rivalry between us. In the next test, I'm going to use you, to completely crush Ryuen. You'll also earn from it. I'm going to make you one of the leading figures in your class after I'll take down Ryuen. Until then, I expect for your full obedience" Shinji said and walked away, leaving a shocked Shiho behind

'Familial love. Such a strong emotion, but at the same time, such a big weakness. In a way, I should thank my parents for the treatment they gave me...'

(Warning! The flashback contains child abuse, domestic violence, and rape! Read at your discretion)


~~~ Flashback ~~~

"Shinji! Always remember! You are my heir, and you should act appropriately!" a middle-aged man said, to a six-year-old Shinji.

The man had a belt in his hand, and the six-year-old Shinji was almost naked, except for a pair of underwear.

"No more rudeness!" he said and repeatedly whipped him on the back, causing him to fall to his knees. The six-year-old Shinji simply cried quietly, as such a thing was a regular occurrence at his home.

"Why are you crying!? You're my son! Accept your punishment like a man!" said the man, and kicked Shinji in the belly, sending him flying a few meters.

Shinji simply curled into a ball, as the man continued to whip him for a whole hour

After that, Shinji was left alone, and the silence was in the house until Shinji heard the screams of a woman, and he knew who's screams it is.

With the power that was left in his body, he managed to stand up and started to walk towards the source of the screams.

Soon, he arrived at his parents' bedroom, where the screams were heard from. He opened the door slightly, enough for him to see his father mercilessly pounding into his mother, and whipped her with his belt

"It's all because of you! You birthed that useless kid!" His father shouted, his thrusts becoming rougher, and his whipping becomes stronger

"I'm sorry! Please forgive me!" his mother shouted

Shinji simply closed the door and returned to his room. That also was a regular occurrence at his home. Every time his father punished him, he'll punish his mother afterward. But the worst thing came after it.

After another hour, the screams quieted down, and Shinji prepared himself for what's going to come. Soon, he heard steps outside his door, and eventually, the door was kicked open by his mother, who had an extremely furious expression.

She approached him quickly, and pulled him by the hair to the floor while saying:

"It's all because of you!" she said, and then kicked him in the belly.

"Why can't you do what you're told?" she asked and kicked him once again. She continued to kick him for another thirty minutes, until she relaxed, and left him. That was almost a daily routine in Shinji's childhood.

Shinji was born to a rich family, where his father was an important man in the Japanese government, and his mother would stay at home.

From a young age, Shinji showed an extremely high intelligence, which made him mature a lot faster than kids in his age and he accomplished things that kids in his age would only accomplish years after him.

Because of that, his father decided to properly educate him, so Shinji could inherit his place, and even extend their family's legacy. He taught him all of the regular subjects, the kind you learn at school, martial arts, and some more useful abilities, that he knew due to his work.

But Shinji was still a child, so he often didn't do things the way his father wanted. So, for even the smallest mistake, Shinji will get punished harshly by his father, who'll then proceed to punish his mother, who'll vent her anger on Shinji. That continued to happen almost every day for Shinji, until one day.

One day, when Shinji had enough.

~~~ Time Skip ~~~

Shinji was now 8 years old. He was just finished with another one of his mother's punishments.

As he laid on the floor, utterly beaten, Shinji thought:

'I've had enough of that asshole of a father, and that bitch of a mother! Who do they think they are!? just because I matured faster than other kids, doesn't mean I'm supposed to be treated like that! Who in their right mind will continuously beat an 8-year-old kid!

They are the ones that supposed to get punished! But, If I'll go to the authorities, the trial will happen only months from now! And my father is from the government! He can easily use his connections to reduce his punishment greatly!

No, they must be punished accordingly for their actions, and the only one who can do that is... me'

Shinji thought, and then he felt something. He felt something when he thought of punishing his parents.

To watch them screaming in pain.

To watch them struggling to escape.

To watch them begging for his mercy.

To watch the despair in their eyes, when they realize they can't run away.

He felt something he never felt before.

He felt... amused

An evil smirk crept to his face.

And then he thought:

'If only imagining it makes me feel amused, what will I feel if I'll do it?'

And on that day, a famous figure in the Japanese government and his wife have found their death. They were found tied to their bed, their throats slit. The authorities never found out who did it, and never found their son, who after a few months, was declared as dead. No one knew, that on that day, a demon was born, and he won't stop until everything will be his.
