70 Chapter 69: Wouldn’t it be okay to attack at a quick pace?

=======================

(A/N: Hi everyone! announcement related to milestones, I decided to change the first milestone which previously had to touch 50 powerstones to be changed to 100 and then it will be a multiple of 100 for the next milestone. Sorry for this decision because I don't want to be too hasty in writing and also writing is just my hobby and I have a real job so I want to enjoy the writing process more. Once again I want to apologize for this milestone change!)

========================

Many students would have smiled happily as they looked at their mobile phones, which had returned to their hands after a two-week absence. For young people living in the modern age, mobile phones have become indispensable tools.

A luxury cruise ship sails gracefully across the vast ocean, offering students a summer vacation for the next while.

Whether you want to enjoy the pool, indulge in lavish meals, or go to the deck with a view of the sea, it's all up to you. But it's not about doing whatever you want. You need to enjoy within the boundaries of the established rules. For example, it is prohibited to leave the cabin after 10PM unless there is a special reason.

While there are no students breaking the established rules, there are somewhat strict penalties in place just in case.

Now, let's enjoy the cruise.

But when you think about it, there's really nothing to do.

Just then, I received an email.

The sender was Fuuka Kiryuuin... Kiryuuin!?

Fuuka Kiryuuin: Would you like to come to the pool?

Jin: Well, okay.

After Finishing the chat, I decided to head to the designated location. I could rent swimwear, so I put on white surf shorts and a black hoodie-style rash guard.

As I looked around, I noticed that the pool was bustling with students playing volleyball or enjoying themselves with friends. I thought it might be hard to find someone, but it wasn't. I spotted a woman exuding a noticeable aura, sitting elegantly on a deck chair with sunglasses on her head, sipping a drink.

"Over here, Horagasaki."

She beckoned me, so I lay down on the beach chair next to her. Since I also had sunglasses, I put them on and ordered a drink, meeting Kiryuuin's gaze.

"You look really cool with sunglasses and a drink... But it seems quite unsafe here."

I was wearing brown aviator sunglasses with teardrop-shaped lenses and holding a glass. Indeed, students observing Kiryuuin and me from a distance probably wouldn't want to approach.

"You and Ayanokouji formed a splendid alliance during the survival test on the uninhabited island, I2."

It seemed Kiryuuin had been watching from afar and mentioned the incident.

"Oh, did you... see it?"

"Hehe, don't worry about it. I won't go around telling others. But you're amazing. I'm getting more and more interested in you."

She stared at me as if she could see through me. It was a bit uncomfortable, but I changed the subject.

"Things have become quite complicated. You should be careful too. Nagumo is probably keeping an eye on Ayanokouji. "

I noticed Kiyotaka from a distance, and when I looked in that direction, oddly enough, various third-year students were looking at him. What did he do to Nagumo? Did he do something after getting second place?

"As expected of the Student Council President, he's quite popular."

"He seems to have played an unusual card. In terms of individual abilities, a guy like Nagumo is one of the top students in this school. Academic ability A, physical ability A, resourcefulness and thinking ability A+, social contribution A+. He's flawless."

"That's true. He's like a cheat at OAA."

"Hehe, it's like you're saying OAA is meaningless."

"Maybe, but there might be students with high abilities who haven't been standardized."

"That's possible."

There are quite a few students like Kiryuuin and Sudou who maintain an A+ in one ability, but there is only Nagumo with all A grades, and very few students have two A+ grades.

"With his originally high academic and physical abilities, and his achievements in rising to the position of Student Council President, Nagumo didn't have formidable enemies among his peers. The only one he acknowledged as having equal strength in this school was Horikita Manabu , but he graduated and is no longer here."

Kiryuuin took a breath and picked up the glass on the table.

"For Nagumo, Ayanokoji should have been nothing more than a toy. But something happened during the uninhabited island test that triggered him and made him serious."

"Ah, poor guy. Kiyotaka is also a struggling person."

"Yes, that's why you and Ayanokouji need to be careful. If something happens to him, Horagasaki, you're the only one who can stop it. I'm sorry, but I can't help you with this matter."

"Well, as long as he doesn't ask for help, it's a different story."

"That's true. I've been enjoying myself freely for three years, but... I have a little regret about my school life. If this school had a retention system for upper grades, I might have considered it."

"Geez, you want to repeat a year... you're something else."

"Hehe, anyway, how do I look in my swimsuit?"

While saying that, Kiryuuin struck a sexy pose and showed it to me. Honestly, it's hot. I mean, I want to do it here, it feels great. Really really great. Super great~ But if I say that, she'll probably be creeped out, so I said what I thought.

"You're cute, and you're my type. Oh, did you invite me just to show that off?"

"W-What are you saying! If that's the case, what will you do?"

"In that case... will you marry me?"

"W-What are you saying! Stop kidding around!"

Blushing, Kiryuuin hastily left the scene in an uncharacteristic manner.

I saw something nice. She's cute.

I also left the scene shortly after and as I was walking down the corridor, a student called out to me.

"Hey, Horagasaki-kun?"

The one who called out to me was Yume Kobashi from Ichinose class . Until now, we would have just passed each other without saying anything, but the uninhabited island test, albeit short, seemed to have changed our relationship.

"Yes?"

"Uh, sorry for the suddenness, but actually, the girls in our class are planning a post-exam party tonight, and I thought, why not invite Horagasaki-kun too? We also invited Ayanokouji-kun as a thank you for helping us, but he declined."

Well, it would be tough if I were the only guy among them, but now that he's declined, I'm the only guy left.

"What do you think?"

"I'm... okay..."

"Please! I think meeting here was fate, you know?"

It's hard to refuse when she says that, and she's crying... It might be an act, but...

"Uh, I'll come just to make an appearance..."

"Really! Thank you! Then, please wait in room 5034 at 8 o'clock!"

Oh man, I thought it would be on the deck or somewhere, I didn't ask about the room. Well, I guess there might be other guys there. As I thought about not wanting to go, before I knew it, 8 o'clock arrived. Damn, should I have refused? It's my fault for giving a half-hearted answer.
