Chapter 42 - The Island

The first year students of Koudo Ikusei High School currently at the dock waiting to enter the ship. A big luxury ship, its not surprising for our school to rent the whole ship for our 'vacation'.

But for one student, he know this is not your ordinary vacation to spent their holiday.

This vacation is meant to be their next test.

Ryou sitting at the bench near the dock watching his classmates and first year students get excited on their trip with this luxury ship.

At least he already give his friends a hint about 'something' going to happen on their vacation.

Many girls take a glance to him, but in his current serious mode, they are not brave enough to get near him.

"Hey hey, look at him, he is so cool!"

"From which class is he?"

"Ah isn't he is from class 1B?"

"Ohh... handsome and smart too."

"Lets ask his number."

"But he look so serious, i don't want to disturb him."

Ryou ignore those girls conversation and calmly looking at their situation. Planning how he can get as much points as possible.

Then, a girl finally muster her bravery to come to him.

????: "Hello..."

Ryou: "Hmm? Hello, may i help you?"

????: "I'm Yajima Mariko from class 1C. Um... can i know your name?"

Ryou: "I'm Hiroki Ryou from class 1B."

Yajima: "Ah..etto... my friends over there want to know your number, if you are..."

She is not finished yet but Honami walk Ryou and call him.

Honami: "Ryou, what are doing here? Eh? Sorry, am i disturbing you?"

Ryou: "Just looking around. Hmm... Yajima-san right? What was that you're asking about?"

Yajima: "Ah.. haha.. its nothing, see you later Hiroki-kun."

and she is back to her classmates.

"How is it? Did you got his number?"

"Unfortunately not, his classmate came to us."

"Too bad..."

Honami: "Aren't you popular Ryou, getting hit by girls?"

Ryou: "I'm not doing anything here. What about you? Aren't those boys asking your number too?"

Honami: "Ahh... no, thats... i..i reject them. I don't give my phone number to random person!"

Ryou: "Oh, really?"

Honami: "Really, i'm a hundred percent sure!"

Ryou: "What are you 'sure' about?"

Honami: "About... hey, you are just directing me and going to ask the same question again!!!"

Ryou: "Hahahahaha... just kidding! Lets get ready, we will be called on board!"

Honami: "Ryouuu!!!!"

..

A blue sea and sunny day, a perfect time for vacation with this big and luxury ship.

No one gonna say no if they're offered this chance.

A group of class 1B girls lead by Honami and Ringo are on the deck enjoying the beautiful view.

Yui: "Beautiful!"

Io: "Indeed."

Shiroi: "I'm fullfiling my dreams now."

Yume: "I must say, this is one of the best view if ever seen."

Fumino: "I agree with you Yume-chan."

The girls feel relaxed watching the beautiful view in front of them.

Their schedule for these 2 weeks vacation will be like this.

In the first week, they're going to make the most of their summer vacation by staying at a pension built on a desert island.

Then, the following week going to sojourn on the cruise boat. At 5 am, the first year students will take the bus simultaneously and head towards Tokyo Bay, then the passenger ship will leave from the port where the students boarded.

While eating breakfast in the liner's lounge, the students could behave as they pleased. Additionally, a very fortunate thing was that all the facilities on the ship could be used free of charge. For them, this is like a luxury vacation without using any of their points at all.

On the other side of the ship, the boys are doing the same thing.

Hotaru: "This is going to be a perfect vacation if i have girlfriend here."

Ao: "Hmm... i must agree with you Hotaro-dono!"

'What the hell are you talking about, this is going to be a test. This Hotaru always baiting his friends to talk about this kind of things' Ryou thought.

Ryota: "You are really desperate to get yourself a girlfriend aren't you Hotaru?"

Hotaru: "Why shouldn't I? I'm not a handsome, smart and popular like that guy over there!" He said as he pointed at Ryou.

Ryou: "Why you must include me?"

Hotaru: "Shut up you riajuu! I hope you fall from the ship!"

Ryou: "Oohh... thats good idea, we can swim and have fun!"

One hit!

Hotaru: "Look! Look Sho, this riajuu is bullying me!"

Hotaru try to find an ally.

Sho: "There, there Hotaru. Lets throw and feed him to the shark!"

and he got one.

Ryou: "Don't you know there are no shark in this place?"

Double hit!

Sho: "Uwa... Ao, look! This riajuu is bullying me and Hotaru!"

Ao: "Don't worry, he will need us later in desserted island."

Oh a random mob has joined the fight.

Ryou: "Well, as long as i can find myself a good place to stay, i can hunt and find the food by myself."

Triple hit! Ryou smirked at them.

Ao: "Jun-sama, we need your help!"

Jun: "Don't you know we will be in a team? Lets not let him inside our place later."

Ryou: "Actually, i don't mind sleeping with bunch of boys, but i prefer not too close with guys when we're sleeping. Who knows who's things is gonna touch your back. Huh?"

They look at each other and shuddered by their wild imagination.

Wiped out!

Ryou laughing looking at them shuddered by his words.

This side of him make all of boys in his class feel like they can be friend with him, he never differentiate others.

He just enjoy teasing them, very much!

..

"Attention to all the students! Please gather on the deck. You'll be able to see the island soon. For a while, you will be able to see a very meaningful and splendid scenery". a sudden announcement heard by the entire passengers in the ship.

A few minutes after several students started to gather, the island appeared. The students enthusiasm also increased greatly when the island could be clearly visible to the nȧkėd eye and the distance shortened more and more. The ship was not directed to the island, it passed through the pier and the ship began encircling around the island. The area lent by the country to manage the island is 0.5 km. The highest altitude is 230m. It's a very tiny island if seen from the perspective of Japan's totality as a country, but if seen by a hundred and a dozen people on a cruise, it was even too big.
