944 Survival Game

"Huh?" Chika blinked blankly, clearly she had forgotten everything.

That's normal, because it happened several months ago. No normal person could remember it clearly.

But Shinichi is clearly not an ordinary person.

"The scene was in the student council room a week before the student council was dissolved. The day you pretended to be a corpse to surprise me but it was futile."

Shinichi reminded her again. Seeing Chika brightening up enough, but still unable to give an answer, he sighed and immediately gave her the answer.

"Although being president is tiring, there are also many interesting benefits~" Shinichi mimicked Chika at the time with a serious expression and raised finger.

"Like subsidies for university entrance, recommendation letters from the board of directors, etc. You can also use your power to do things that ordinary students can't, like organizing a survival game that the entire school can participate in. ..."

"Ah!"

Chika slammed the table: "That time! I remember!!"

"Really?" Shinichi didn't believe her and looked at her questioningly, "Then let me ask you, what color clothes was I wearing that day?"

"Uh... blue?" Chika hesitated.

Shinichi's face remained expressionless for a moment.

"Where did the blue color of the school uniform come from?"

"Mhm..."

The intense disgusted expression made Chika squat with her head on her arms, murmuring sadly: "Asada-kun is a bad example for Ishigami-kun. It's a serious crime to hate seniors..."

Shinichi reached out and rubbed her head.

Chika felt her heart beating faster, and the place he touched slowly warmed, giving her a familiar sense of stability.

"So, this is my surprise."

Ignoring her reaction, Shinichi withdrew his hand, adeptly acting like a scoundrel.

He turned on the broadcasting equipment and listened to the emcee's voice coming from the speakers, signaling to Chika not to speak for now and to clear his throat when the time came.

Shinichi spoke slowly.

"Good morning, all students. I'm the student council president, Asada Shinichi, and I'm also the one who introduced the rules for this special event."

"The next special opening event of the school festival will soon begin. Please pay attention to the following explanation."

"The theme of the event is the Heart Hunting Festival."

"I'm sure many students don't understand the importance of this theme."

He looked at Chika, who was staring at him blankly, the corners of his mouth slowly lifted, and he spoke into the microphone with a thin smile.

"Simply put..."

"Everyone, let's play a survival game."

△

"First of all, students who want to participate in this event can exchange their Student ID Cards for a basic set of equipment at service centers scattered throughout the school."

"Clean white vests, goggles, heart-shaped badges with large 'show' written on them, and simulation air rifles. These are the basic equipment for this event."

"The bullets from the simulation guns are specially made and will burst upon impact, releasing harmless liquid near water. If a bullet hits the vest, the originally white fabric will be dyed red, indicating that the person is out."

"The power of the guns has also been specially adjusted, as long as they don't hit vulnerable areas like the eyes, although direct hits to the body won't cause harm. However, as a precaution, everyone must wear goggles before participating in the event."

"Here are the special competition rules."

"As long as there is a red mark due to a bullet on the vest, you are out. Those who are out are not allowed to shoot. If you want to continue activities, you must go to the resurrection area, namely the service center, to change vests."

"The vests are paper according to their value. The difficulty level is set to a point that can be completed in 10 minutes. Only after passing the test can you be resurrected and join the battle."

"If you don't want to continue the activity, you must immediately go to the service center to hand in the vest and simulation weapons, and you are not allowed to enter or exit booths or leave the school beforehand."

"Additionally, although the battlefield is the entire school, to ensure that people who don't want to participate in the event can still enjoy the school festival, all class and club booths, including areas marked 'out of event', will be counted. In the safe area, shooting towards or into the area is prohibited, and attacking or intimidating non-competitors in any way is also not allowed. If found, school rules will apply."

"The dangerous behavior reporting office and discipline committee are waiting for such people to appear in every corner of the school."

"Finally, this survival game is not divided into several factions. All participants are enemies. As long as you shoot someone else, you can ask them to surrender all the badges they have. Since you can be resurrected, no matter how many badges you get, you can still win the game in the early stages, but in the end, it will be reversed and you will fall straight down."

"Badges can be exchanged at service centers at any time. One badge can be exchanged for a special magazine containing fifteen bullets, and ten or twenty can be exchanged for more things... For example, total final exam scores and increases in club budgets, the cafeteria working together with Totsuki Academy to provide special dish exchange coupons, etc."

"The top ten rankings will be announced on the bulletin board after the event. If the total points exchanged are the first in the school, you can also get a 'mysterious prize from the student council president'."

"This event will take place from 10 am to 12 noon, the shift time is well arranged, and most students can enjoy the event even if there are stands to attend."

"...The rules are roughly like this, and will be supplemented with broadcasts anytime. After the official opening ceremony is over, everyone can go to the service center to pick up equipment. The official event starts at 10 am. Any shooting behavior before this will be considered a violation of the rules, which will result in the confiscation of firearms and disqualification from the event."

Through the monitor screen, Shinichi looked at the students chatting excitedly in the auditorium, and could vaguely feel the lively atmosphere.

He smiled, grabbed the microphone, and continued: "There's another small Easter egg in this event. I, the student council president, Asada Shinichi, will also participate, and my badge score is fifty times that of regular badges, and I won't fall."

"In other words, as long as you can defeat me directly, you will be guaranteed fifty points."

"If you can continue to knock me down after I've resurrected, you can continue to get these fifty points."

"Of course, to ensure fairness in scores, I promise not to release any contestants, regardless of gender. During the event, I will also wear a camera on my body to monitor my actions to avoid cheating."

"So, if you believe in your own abilities and want the rewards, points, and honor, come to me."

"I will hide somewhere in the school and wait for you to take my badge."

"It all depends on your abilities."

With these words, Gol. D. Shinichi cut off his broadcast.

Although there are still some things that need to be explained later, he felt that by starting here, he could further stimulate the enthusiasm of the students, so he did it intentionally.

However, the next issue will be handled by the Executive Committee of the Heart Hunting Festival, so it doesn't matter even if he lets go.

And next, he had to become the wandering BOSS and find a place to wait for the contestants to come and get their badges.

"So, do you understand everything in detail?"

Shinichi turned around and smiled at Chika, who seemed not yet recovered.

"The event officially starts at 10 am. Before that, I'll allow you to praise me with the most beautiful words, Chika-senpai."
