Season 1 Episode 8
Jonathan Cardoza Sanchez: The list is in my own opinion
Theatre...
While watching a play about an ancient Greek Myth of Icarus and Daedalus, Ayanokouji and Chabashira-sensei had a discussion.
"This is a waste of tax money." Ayanokouji spoke first referring to the play. "And you have a reason to call for me?"
"A few days ago, a certain man contacted the school. He left an intriguing message. "Expel Ayanokouji Kiyotaka." Chabashira-sensei explained.
"And what could that mean I wonder?" He asked. "I don't know who that person was. But you know you can't expel someone without a valid reason."
"Of course. So long as you're a student here, the rules will protect you." She replied. "But if you cause any serious trouble, that's a different matter already."
Ayanokouji eyed his teacher a bit carefully and then, spoke up. "Too bad for you. Unlike the arrogant Icarus, I don't pick fights with the sun."
"Your intentions don't matter. If I decide that you're a problem, then that's what you really are." The teacher replied. "So are you threatening me?" He asked. "I'm negotiating." She replied. "If you say that you'll aim for Class A, then I'll give you a blank check of insurance. A good deal isn't it?"
"No it isn't. Not for me."
"Hmmm...then I'm afraid that you're going to be expelled and...lose your freedom."
Upon hearing that, Ayanokouji grabbed her by the outfit. "And you still call yourself a teacher? Your negotiation is already used to threaten me."
"You're wasting your time and freedom. I ask you again. Will you aim for Class A or be expelled?" The teacher asked not caring about his use of force. He said nothing for a moment but the play was concluded so he just let go and, "Someday, you may come to regret the day that you initiated manipulation on me."
"My life is already full of regrets." She replied. "Right...in your entire life, I bet you never graduated from Class A and now as a teacher, you failed to aim for Class A with any class you've taught before. Truly a sad and pathetic life you lived." Ayanokouji sure burned his own form teacher as she gritted her teeth but said nothing afterwards. He then went to have a view of the ocean as the scene zoomed away revealing that he's on a cruise ship. "Throw away my freedom to protect my freedom eh..."
The next day in the morning...
"The eternal summer ocean! The wide blue sky! It's in the middle of the Pacific Ocean!" An overexcited Ike described. "This is truly..."
...
...
...
"A SEA PARADISE!" (That was loud...)
It definitely is as, "Look at that view! It's so exciting right?" Karuizawa asked Kikyo and she can agree with him. "Aren't you glad you didn't get expelled?" Yamauchi asked Sudou. "Y-Yeah! It feels like a dream...and I can cry over it!"
"The school is so generous right? Taking us out on this big cruise!" Karuizawa exclaimed with Kikyo agreeing with her. Now the 3 idiots are in their summer clothes while the girls and Ayanokouji are still in their school uniforms as Ayanokouji looked at the view some more.
The luxury cruise ship, Speranza. Onboard are first-class restaurants, a theatre for live performances like the one that I watched yesterday night while 'negotiating' with my sensei, pools of different shapes and sizes and various amusement facilities. There's even a luxury spa provided.
Various scenes shows the facilities mentioned.
If I rode this ship on my personal budget, it would likely cost a few hundred thousand Yen
A hour later at a swimsuit rental store, "Wow, we can rent all these for free?" Kokoro asked as she admired a yellow string bikini examining it. "Of course! And if you like it so much, you can pay some of your private points to own it Kokoro-chan!" Kikyo told her when, "Kikyo-chan! I think this swimsuit would look great on you!" They looked to their right to see Mii-chan showing her a revealing red string micro bikini as, "Um...it might be a little daring..."
"Aw come on! We're on vacation! So you can wear anything!" Mii-chan encouraged Kikyo as she checked the bikini out.
After the 3 girls rented swimsuits, they swam in the pool playing around as Kokoro now wearing the yellow bikini she examined just now threw a beach volleyball to Mii-chan who's wearing a brightly cloloured floral bikini. "Kikyo-chan! Come and get it!" She cheered throwing the ball to her. Seeing it, Kikyo who's wearing the revealing red micro bikini jumped up tossing it back. She cheered and laughed brightly as her large melons jiggled left and right, up and down.
Several freshman boys watched the 3 beautiful girls bare their hot bodies under the bright sun as they splashed about while tossing the beach volleyball to each other. In fact, all their eyes are glued to Kikyo's bikini and her large melons which are almost exposed out being the centre of attention.
Even so, "I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna confess to Kushida-san!" Ike told his friends. "W-wait, are you serious?" Yamauchi asked. "To do nothing and live a life of regret..." He then stood up and removed his sunglasses with coolness. "Would be pretty lame right?"
"Ike..." Sudou was moved by his boldness. "Oh break a leg..." Ayanokouji sighed. "Good luck. You're gonna need it." Yamauchi told him as Ike left to do his confession. "Wanna check him out?" Sudou suggested. "Why not?" Yamauchi agreed as they stood up to see it. Even Ayanokouji joined them.
The trio soon found them and hid by the stairway to watch as Ike sort of messed up on his confession. While Sudou and Yamauchi laughed about it, "He just called her by her first name. That's it?" He thought when, "Ayanokouji! What's Horikita's first name? Tell me! Tell me!" Sudou grabbed his shoulders shaking him with great force. "Uh...I think it's Suzune..." And then next thing it happened, Sudou and Yamauchi lost it muttering their crushes' first names. "What's with these guys? And since when did Yamauchi had a crush on Sakura-san..."
Meanwhile, Koenji is enjoying the sun and the view of the ocean alone as he picks his signature mirror and admires himself. "Beautiful. Truly this perfect existence is beautiful..." He also has a fruit cocktail beside him on a round table.
At the same time at some high class restaurant, Ayanokouji, Sudou, Ike and Yamauchi had just arrived and there're many students having lunch. At first. the 3 idiots hesitated when a waiter approached them with hospitality. Easy said than done as the 4 of them are looking at the menu. It still feels awkward to them except for Ayanokouji as he glanced at the menu. Once ready, Yamauchi tried to begin ordering with a loud voice when, "Hey aren't you guys from Class D?" Near them, a boy with green hair and eyes known as Yahiko Totsuka got their attention. "Listen to me, this high-class restaurant is no place for defective garbage like you." Offended, Sudou stood up to confront him as he added on with a smirk, "Garbage like you should be eating junk food!" That's when Sudou grabbed him by the collar and, "You got something against junk food or what?"
"Yahiko." The boys stopped to look at none other than, "K-Katsuragi-san..." Yahiko exclaimed as the bald student calmly placed his utensils down. "Cease these ridiculous provocations. In spite of us being on a luxurious vacation, we may still lose points for bad behaviour. You should also behave in a manner befitting a Class-A student. Understand?"
"Y-Yes..." Yahiko replied still being held by Sudou as Katsuragi shifted his attention to Ayanokouji and the others. "I apologize for my classmate's verbal behaviour. But I would also like to remind you that you all should study your manners and stop being a nuisance to those around you."
"Huh? But we haven't-" At that moment, most students including Kamuro and Miki who are having lunch with their femlae peers recognized Sudou as the one from the incident involving Class C. "So tell me, do you intend to repeat the same mistake now?" Katsuragi asked him when Ike approached him. "Ken, let's just go somewhere else for lunch."
"Fine. We'll leave."
"Mmm. Most wise." Katsuragi thought nodding his bald head as he continued eating his lunch while the 3 idiots took their leave without hesitation. "So he's Katsuragi from Class A..." Ayanokouji observed as he looked around. It appears he's all alone and still planning to have his lunch here. "Well I guess I could-"
"Kiyotaka-kun!" He looked to see Honami, Kanzaki and Mako for the three 1-B students had just arrived. Seeing this, the same waiter that welcomed him and his peers just now allowed them to sit with him. "You're having lunch all by yourself?" Kanzaki asked as they sat with him. "Sort of..." He replied. "Not for long. Honami-chan just sat beside you. Hee! Hee! Are you gonna tease him with your sweetness?"
"M-Mako-chan!" Honami blushed and was unable to return fire as her friend laughed. Kanzaki just smiled as he took the menu and read through with Ayanokouji. But during this timing, "Why is that defect still here while his garbage friends left?! Moreover why is it that Ichinose-san, the most beautiful and alluring girl in our batch sitting beside him! Unacceptable! I refuse to accept this!" Yahiko was watching this and he's indignant so, "Yahiko where are you going?" Katsuragi asked but was ignored instead.
Back to them, "Okay, we submitted our orders so we just wait. Anything to talk about?" Mako asked the group when, "Oi Ichinose-san! What are you and your friends doing with this useless defective trash!" Yahiko approached them with a smirk now as he stood between Ayanokouji and Honami. "Eto...do I know you?" She asked.
"Nope. But you will! I'm Totsuka Yahiko from Class A! The best and the highest ranked class ever!" Yahiko boasted loudly to get everyone's attention. "Yahiko with due respect, the 4 of us are trying to enjoy our time here." Kanzaki spoke to him. "Yeah whatever. Say Ichinose-san, why don't you and your friends join me and Katsuragi for lunch? Leave this trash alone for he does not deserve to hang out with you guys. Defectives like him will always stay defective."
"Oh you did not just say that! Well one, if we do that, there's not enough room for 5 to share one table and two, stop bad-mouthing Ayanokouji-kun!" An annoyed Mako ordered.
"Sheesh...defending him? Face it, this trash has been eating dirt from start to now! You guys can't benefit from him for he has no place on this school! What a pathetic loser he is! I bet he's poor on private points so why hang around with him! Ha! Ha! Ha!" Yahiko mocked with pride and it angered Honami for once. "Leave him alone! Kiyotaka-kun is not a defective! He's a wonderful person with a human heart in my opinion! He's twice the man than you!"
These words moved him. "Honami...thank you." He thought to himself so he stood up to make his move, "With all due respect, please let us be so that we can enjoy our time together in peace. We don't want any trouble." Yahiko was stunned. But instead, "HAHAHAHA! Who are you to tell me what to do you piece of defective shit!"
"Those who call people defective, are in fact defective." Ayanokouji stated applying a bit of psychological warfare. "What. Did. You. Just. Say?" Yahiko asked glaring at him. "Just because you're in Class A doesn't mean that you can go around showboating your class standing and your pride as a student in this class. In fact, nobody not even Katsuragi does what you do. That's why in my opinion, you're a defect." Ayanokouji sure burned him hard earning everyone's attention as some of them snickered under their breath. "Well done..." Katsuragi eyed him while nodding his head with respect as he finished his steak lunch. He then called for the waiter for a second plate. It was a succulent dish he enjoyed that's why.
Anyway, back to Ayanokouji and Yahiko. "You dare lecture me defect? Know your place and get out of this restaurant! I don't give a damn about your stupid statement!"
"Make me." Ayanokouji dared him still maintaining his calm demeanor and poker face. Rage and frustration filled Yahiko's mind so he clenched his fist and attempted to punch him but he strafed to his right turning his body 180 degrees with enough accuracy to get behind and lightly push his chair with his feet as Yahiko stumbled over it and tumbled down crashing onto a passing waiter who's carrying a bowl of hot soup. The contents in it spilled onto his face as he screamed in burning pain. "Now that's what I call a painful spillage!" Mako described and already, some of the students laughed at Yahiko as he stood up and shouted, "YOU'LL PAY DEFECT! YOU'LL PAY YOU HEAR ME!" He then left the restaurant as everyone switched back to their lunches and Katsuragi got his second plate shortly. "What a loser. Trying to flirt with Honami-chan who'll rather stay with Ayanokouji-kun. Even so, he's not in the ikemen list." Mako spoke up. "Ikemen list?" Ayanokouji asked. "Oh yes. Some of the girls from the other classes including ours worked on a list on who's the hottest boy in our batch. We even each have a copy of it." Mako then took out a copy of the list and showed it to him. (They looked at the top 5 only)
1. Masayoshi Hashimoto
2. Rokusuke Koenji
3. Yousuke Hirata
4. Ryuji Kanzaki
5. Kiyotaka Ayanokouji
"What? I'm in the list? And No.4?" A surprised Kanzaki exclaimed. "Hey don't be surprised, I'm just below you." Ayanokouji told him as he laughed a bit. And then, their lunches have arrived along with their drinks.
Now for lunch, Ayanokouji had 2 Swedish rosti stacked together with 2 garlic pork sausages and a small bowl of sour cream, Kazanki had turkey schnitzel with potato wedges and sauteed vegetables, Honami had creamy chicken carbonara and Mako had risotto with vegetables consisting of diced carrots, diced potatoes, buttered corn kernels, buttered peas, red and green peppers and diced tomatoes. Plus, all ordered various juices. "Lunch time! Itadakimasu!" Honami cheered as they started eating. "Wow...this is too good!" Mako cheered eating her lunch heartily. "Ayanokouji, can I try a bit of your rosti?" Kanzaki asked. "I'll let you try a bit of my schnitzel in return."
He thought a bit and then, he cut a small portion and placed it on Kanzaki's lunch. "Thanks!" He then cut a small portion of his schnitzel and placed it on his lunch. "I'm glad to see them being friends." Honami thought as she smiled at Ayanokouji. "So is this your first time on a cruise trip Kiyotaka-kun?"
"Mmmm...yes it is." He replied as he spread some sour cream on a small portion of his rosti. "Same thing! I never thought the school had the budget to own this luxury cruise for us." She replied. "Not to mention this ship. I wonder how much they spent to acquire such acquisition?" Kanzaki asked. "Tens of thousands of yen or hundred thousands. Who knows?" Mako assumed as she sipped her pineapple juice. "Sometimes, I feel like a cruise trip is too good for us. What if the school has something planned?" Kanzaki asked as he sipped his apple juice. "You worry too much. For now, let's make the most of this cruise trip!" Mako told the group as Ayanokouji sipped his orange juice with thought. "Kanzaki might be right on this one..." He then stopped. "Something wrong Kiyotaka-kun?" Honami asked as she sipped her mango juice. "Yeah...why do I smell something citrus..."
"Oh right! Honami-chan applied some citrus perfume. She hoped that it'll get your attention and-"
"MAKO-CHAN! THAT'S ENOUGH!" Honami covered her mouth from spilling the beans when "Actually, it's very fragrant." He described surprising her as he took a sip of his lime juice. "So...you like it?" She asked shyly. He just said nothing but still, "He likes it! Kyaaaaah!" Honami beamed in happiness and thought as she ate a piece of chicken.
A while later, "Wow, I feel full." Honami exclaimed. "Same." said Mako as Kanzaki stifled a yawn. "Alright, I'll go back to my room and take a nap."
"Same." Ayanokouji agreed with him as they stood up and, "What about you?"
"Me? Oh I got a massage session with my teacher which will be in half an hour." Honami told him when Mako teased her via whispering. "What will it be like if he gives you a massage? Ooh I bet you're gonna feel dirty and-" That's when a flustered Honami suddenly made a quick dash out of the restaurant. "Well that was quick." Ayanokouji thought as Mako shrugged her shoulders. "Oh well. I'll just have a good view at the ocean. See you guys." And thus, they went their ways.
As planned, Honami arrived for the spa treatment on time and is already getting the massage treatment. Chie-sensei is already moaning from the massage. "Oh...I'm in heaven..."
"Hoshinomiya-sensei?" Honami asked.
"I'm fine. Keep going." Chie-sensei told the masseur doing her massage as the student and teacher began discussions. "So to start off, I think Katsuragi-kun and Sakayanagi-san from Class A as well as Ryuuen-kun from Class C are the ones we should be paying attention to." Honami began.
"And what about Class-D?" Chie-sensei asked as she moaned from the massage.
"I think it's Horikita-san and Hirata-kun. They're the class representatives of Class D."
"Really? I feel like there's another person to worry about."
"They say Koenji-kun has excellent grades and abilities too despite not contributing much but-"
"While Koenji may be like that, but-"
"Kiyotaka-kun you mean?"
"Yeah!" Chie-sensei exclaimed cheerfully. "My gut tells me he's one to watch out for."
"I can't definitely rely on your gut. Hoshinomiya-sensei."
"You're so mean!" She exclaimed teasing her student. "And I wonder why you address him by his name?" She then gasped. "Don't tell me you two are-"
"Uh no! Absolutely not! We're just friends and we've helped each other out." Honami replied. "Ha. Ha. Soon he may be snatched away by another girl if you don't do something about it. Ah...imagine if he gives you a massage."
That sounds almost the same as just now when Mako teased her about him massaging her. At that moment, Honami began fantasizing a shirtless Ayanokouji wearing nothing but a towel around his waist massaging her. She moans from it as she imagines him massaging her back, her legs and then, his hands moved to her exposed butt and- "Ehhhh? Ichinose-san, what's with that look on your face? You look like as if you're thinking of something hot and lewd..." Chie-sensei noticed. That made her snap back to reality and upon realizing what she just fantasized, "What am I doing?!" She thought burying her face on embarrassment on the massage bed.
Meanwhile...
Ayanokouji is in his room in deep thought about the discussion between him and his teacher last night. And then, his kitten who's lying on his bed snuggled to him. "Good thing I snuck him on board and got a cruise staff member to care for it while I'm gone. She even has experience with cats and she'll secretly care for him." And then, his doorbell rang.
Answering it, "Hirata?"
"Sorry, were you taking a nap?"
"No I just woke up."
"That's good. I'm about to hang out with Karuizawa and the others. Want to come along?" Yousuke asked. Ayanokouji thought a bit. "No thanks. I'm good. And besides, I'm not very close to Karuizawa or her friends."
"It might be a good chance to get to know them then!" He replied. "Does he care about me who's always being alone? Well he has yet to witness my other interactions but I wonder..." The 2 boys stared at each for a moment. "Uh...Ayanokouji..."
"Yeah?"
"The truth is, there's something I need you to help with."
"Help?"
"Yes. Could you become a mediator between Horikita and me?" Yousuke asked. "I think that if we want to unite Class D going forward, she'll be important to us all."
"I get it now..." Ayanokouji thought as Yousuke continued on. "I heard she's the one who proved Sudou's innocence. If we work together-" That's when his phone rang and it appears Karuizawa's calling him. "I think you should answer it. She might be wondering why you're taking so long to meet her." Ayanokouji told him. "You're right. I guess I better get going. If you changed your mind, just call me okay?"
"Sure."
"Okay! See you then!" As Yousuke left, a commotion took place in which Koenji was passing by dripping wet. The floor has drops of water as he passed by with a servant trying to stop him from doing that. But no matter, "I guess I'll explore the cruise ship..." Ayanokouji then left his room.
After a while of exploring, "Well what do we have here?" he has come across something that piqued his interest. A piano inside a room with a sliding glass door with transparent walls. Entering it, "I haven't touch it for some time. Well, here goes nothing..." Ayanokouji sat on the seat and opened up the piano.
At the same time after her massage, Honami met up with Mako, Chihiro and Yume as the 4 girls planned to go shopping together. As they walked along the way, "Hey...you hear that?" Chihiro asked. "It sounds like someone's playing, "Moonlight Sonata." said Honami as the girls followed the sound. And soon enough, "No way!" Honami could not believe her purple eyes as in the piano room, Ayanokouji gracefully keyed the piano keys with accuracy and already, several students including herself and her friends are watching this. A while later, he's finished and applauding can be heard. "I thought I was the only one around here..." He thought when he caught sight of Honami and her friends. "Ooh. Ayanokouji-kun saw us! No, he saw you!" Chihiro teased Honami. "Yeah! Go and say something nice about his piano skills!" Yume suggested as she opened the glass door and Mako lightly pushed her inside. "Why are they doing this..." Honami sighed as, "Hey."
"Eek!" She squeaked at the sight of Ayanokouji as he approached her. "Uh...Kiyotaka-kun..." She looked away for a moment. Seconds later, "Moonlight Sonata is it?"
"Yes. Composed by Ludwig Van Beethoven." Ayanokouji answered. "So you do play the piano..." She exclaimed. "Do you know other symphonies?"
"Sure. I'll play another one." He got his fingers ready and played, "River Flows in You" by Yiruma. After that, he played "Kiss the Rain" by the same composer. After that, "Incredible!" Honami was amazed and mesmerized by the music and his piano skills. "How long have you played the piano?"
"I can't remember much. A couple of years I think?"
"A lot of memory and experience in the symphonies I bet." Honami exclaimed when Ayanokouji's phone rang. "Give me a minute." He answered it and after that, "I gotta go and meet someone. Catch you later."
"Alright Kiyotaka-kun." Honami replied with a smile as he left.
Later on...
Several students are chilling in the pool while above, Horikita is at the bar reading a book. And then, Ayanokouji arrived and ordered 2 drinks. Once they're served. "Thanks." Horikita thanked him. "No problem." He replied as he started sipping. "Anyway, do you think that this trip will be a normal vacation?" She asked beginning their discussion. "There's more than meets the eye." He replied as he paused his sipping. "Just like Sotomura's fascination with some franchise known as, 'Transformers'."
"Yes and we're not talking about Transformers."
"My bad. So the destination of this ship is a boarding house on a South Seas Island owned by the school isn't it?" Ayanokouji asked. "Maybe there's something there..."
"Perhaps. But that means we can't let our guard down." Horikita replied as she sipped a bit of her drink when a new presence appeared. "Ah there you are." It's Ryuuen and Albert as they approached the 2 of them with Ryuuen sitting beside Horikita. "Setting up cameras in the special annex...that's an interesting stunt you pulled out..."
"Who are you?"
"I don't hate girls like you Suzune. Mmmm...you smell hot and your hair is gorgeous..."
"I don't know how you found that out, but could you not casually and flirtatiously call me by my first name?" However, Ryuuen ignored that as he gently grabbed her chin making her face him. "Mmmm...that expression you have is quite sexy. I like that..." Somewhat annoyed by his flirting attempt, Horikita brushed his hand off. "I don't know who you are but you're disgusting and creeping me already." He just smiled with satisfaction as he raised his hand up and Albert handed him his handphone. "I'm a fan of yours. Say cheese."
"FLASH!"
"Hey! You can't do that!" Horikita exclaimed in annoyance. "Next time I'll deal with you personally and I look forward to it. See ya." He and Albert got ready to leave when, "Ryuuen!" They all looked to see, "Oh Ibuki..."
"I need to talk to you!" She went to approach but he placed his arm around her and pulled her close to him. "Aw are you starting to miss me or are you jealous that I'm having a nice friendly chat with a hot girl named Suzune?" That really annoyed Horikita as, "Don't be ridiculous you dipshit! I can no longer stand with how you use your methods!" Ibuki protested. "Oh I see. That's fine. How about we talk about it in my room later. Just you and me... and even better, Suzune can join us for a better fun time..."
"That guy sure knows how to sweet talk the girls..." Ayanokouji thought as a stunned Ibuki who felt offended executed a straight punch but Albert grabbed her arm with no effort at all. "Albert! Are you really alright with this or should I say that you're now Ryuuen's loyal dog for this completely?!" He said nothing but Ryuuen gave him the signal to let go as he took his leave. "Wait a minute Ryuuen! We're not done talking!" Ibuki wanted to go after him but Albert grabbed her and threw her onto the railings. "That's enough." He told her as he left to catch up with Ryuuen.
The short-lived drama is over as Ayanokouji offered Ibuki his hand. "You alright?" She just slapped it aside and got up. "None of your business." She then left as Horikita stood beside. "It appears Class C is starting to collapse..." She assumes but Ayanokouji said nothing about it.
And somewhere in the ship's library, "So let me get this straight, Totsuka-kun tried to pick a fight with someone from Class D over Ichinose-san and ended up embarrassing himself and shaming our class reputation."
"Yes. That's what I can report for now Sakayanagi-san."
"Thank you for the report, Masumi-san." Sakayanagi is seen working on chess strategies by reading a guidebook and moving chess pieces around the chessboard to plan and test the strategies out step by step while listening to Kamuro's report via voice call as she spoke up.
"What should I do next?"
"Right. There are students I want you to investigate."
"Who are the students?" Kamuro asked as Sakayanagi formulated and completed a chess strategy. "Checkmate." The petite girl's violet eyes shows a hidden ounce of confidence and no wonder she's said to be the most intelligent.
That night...
Sakura is alone pondering and talking to herself by the railings when, "Sakura-san?" She freaked out in shock as, "H-How long have you been here?"
"Uh I just got here." Ayanokouji told her as, "Uh...did you hear anything from me?" She asked.
"No. Not at all."
"Thank goodness..." She spoke to herself when, "What is it?" He asked and she couldn't come up with something to say. "Did something happen?" He asked.
"N-No! Nothing happened. But...I'm still having a hard time talking to my classmates...even though I'm sporting my new look."
"I thought you talked with the girls from Class B during the pool session?"
"A little. I listened more though." She then smiled a bit with a small blush. "S-Sorry to ask for your help like this..."
"It's okay. If you just need someone to listen, I can do that just fine." Ayanokouji assured and it's enough for Sakura to thank him and even grab onto his hands cupping them together. "I think I can give it a try since you'll be willing to listen to me. So tell me, what's with you and Ichinose-san?"
"Excuse me?"
"Well...the girls in her class talked about you and her being tight like as if-"
"It's nothing special. You see-"
"Oh? Ayanokouji-kun and Sakura-san?" They stopped and looked to see Kikyo approaching them as Sakura panicked even realizing she's still grabbing onto his hands so she let go. "On second thought...I'll just go back to my room."
"Matte!" Kikyo called out to her but she left immediately hurrying her way back. Turning to Ayanokouji, "Sorry. Maybe I shouldn't have come here..."
"Ah it's okay." Ayanokouji replied and he thought of something. "I guess her fear of strangers hasn't gone away yet...yes, certain strangers...that she probably may not trust a lot or is not very close with...in our class...I think..."
"Ahhh! What a beautiful starry night!" Kikyo noticed as they can see the stars twinkling in the night sky. "Isn't it Ayanokouji-kun?" However, Ayanokouji can still remember that one night...so with that, "I'm going back to my room."
"Going back already?"
"Yeah I'm getting sleepy."
"Okay then. See you today." They say their goodnights and Ayanokouji started leaving when, "Wait." The next thing it happened, Kikyo tugged onto his school uniform. "You're being cautious around me right?"
"Obviously you're wearing your other mask now..." He thought but said nothing regarding her statement. "I can sense that sort of thing." She spoke on and she let go. "Sorry about that. I just feel lonely when I'm suddenly left all alone. I thought maybe you..." She looked directly at his eyes for a moment while he looked confused. But she changed her mind. "Never mind it's nothing. Ah forget it, I'll also go back to my room." She left immediately leaving him to watch. "Sometimes, I can never understand her motives..."
The next day...
In his room, Ayanokouji is awakw but still in bed with his kitten lying on top of him sleeping. And then, an announcement was made.
Good morning students. The island will soon be in sight. We hope you'll take the time to observe this highly significant scenery
"Significant scenery?" He asked himself as he picked his sleeping kitten and sat up placing it on his lap.
Outside on the deck, many students are viewing the 'significant scenery' as the cruise ship is nearing the island. Kikyo is also there viewing it when Ayanokouji showed. "Ohayo Ayanokouji-kun!"
"Ohayo." He greeted back as they returned to the viewing. "The view is so good...breathtaking if you ask me. Don't you think so?" She asked. He said nothing again like last night and then, "By the way, where's Horikita-san? Isn't she with you most of the time?"
"Dunno." He replied. "But I think she doesn't seem like the 'get the most out of the vacation' type so I can say that she's probably in her room still sleeping or viewing the scenery from there."
"For once, I can agree with you." Kikyo replied as they continued the viewing. During that, Katsuragi is seen taking down notes while Ryuuen and Albert are observing the view.
Later on, all 99 freshman students gathered at the helipad before their homeroom teachers and they're suited up in their red tracksuits. "As we prepare to arrive at the island, we will give an explanation on what to expect." Chabashira-sensei briefed the students. "Until then, we wait."
"It's so hot. Wish they hurry it up." Ike exclaimed. A little further at the back, "Were you in your room?" Ayanokouji asked. "Yes I was reading and viewing the island at the same time." Horikita replied while brushing her right arm with her left arm. "I'm curious about the ending but we're not allowed to bring our personal belongings. Even our handphones because we handed them to our homeroom teacher. Still..."
And then, "Your phones will be confiscated and in exchange, you'll wear these wristwatch." Chabashira-sensei continued the briefing with a wristwatch in her hand. "Those who take them off without permission will be penalized."
"They're being especially careful now, putting their guard up." said Horikita. "Yeah. They wouldn't be going this far for a mere beach trip." said Ayanokouji. "You ever went on a beach trip?" She asked. "Nope. I've never even went to the beach before until now. Yes you can say it's my first time to see what a beach looks like." He replied.
Alright chit-chat's over as a middle-aged man of average height with gray hair and green eyes stood on a wide support with Chabashira-sensei standing on his left and with Chie-sensei and Sakagami-sensei on his right. "I'm Mashima. Class A's homeroom teacher. First off, I'm glad that we made it here safely today. But at the same time, it's a shame that one of you was unable to join us due to illness."
Katsuragi knew what he's talking about and Yahiko is daydreaming while looking at the blue skies. Honami, Ryuuen and Ibuki listened attentively with Ryuuen having a small glare on his face. Now continuing, "And now, I'd like to start the year's first special exam which will be a test!"
A lot of students had mixed reactions upon hearing this. "The testing period will be one week. You'll be living as a group on this deserted island. There, you'll have to make your own decisions from here on out. Now, let the survival begin!"
"Time's up for vacation, huh? Hope my kitten can bear with my absence for a while." Ayanokouji thought because in reality, the real vacation begins and it starts with that special test.
Oh my...I think I turned Yahiko into a rival to fight for Honami but she still prefers to hang out with Ayanokouji pissing him off. He's deifnitely gonna be picking fights with Ayanokouji in future chapters. And it starts with a expanded lunch scene in the restaurant.
Now I cut the theatre play scene short to focus on the big issue regarding student and teacher 'negotiation'. And the fantasy of Ayanokouji and Honami is just the beginning, more fantasies between them will happen but only in the girl's mindset. Ha! Ha! Also, I added a piano scene. I heard many wrote about him playing the piano in Wattpad which is fascinating.
Not to mention that I got Kikyo to wear that daring swimsuit. So daring that it made many boys' summer memorable. And the kitten was snuck on board to keep Ayanokouji company and as usual, extended dialouges and scenes.
