Bab 144: -143- Plenty of opportunities
In fact, what Ryuen Kakeru said is completely correct to some extent.
It's summer vacation now, the students' holiday.
The school arranged this vacation plan, saying that it's for the students to enjoy their holiday.
Now, the school suddenly tells everyone that their holiday will be used for exams.
So, no matter which school it is, this will cause dissatisfaction among the students.
In other words, Ryuen Kakeru wanted to say this.
"These points should have been used for us to enjoy."
Ryuen Kakeru said this nonchalantly, as if it were a matter of course.
"In that case, why should I give up the fun I should have had, and instead run to the wilderness for what the school calls exams?"
This statement momentarily rendered Horikita Suzune speechless.
"Are you serious?" Horikita Suzune asked again, as if unable to believe what she heard, seeking confirmation.
To this, Ryuen Kakeru responded indifferently.
"If you want to struggle so hard for those few points, that's your business."
The implication is that if others want to strive, let them strive. Ryuen Kakeru doesn't want to make the effort, so others have no right to say anything.
And Horikita Suzune seemed to finally start accepting the reality before her.
Anyway, Class C did indeed squander their points for enjoyment.
That's a fact.
The squandered points won't come back.
The things bought with them won't be returned.
Even if Ryuen Kakeru is cunning, this is the one thing that can't be changed.
In other words, Ryuen Kakeru did indeed give up the points.
Only this can be confirmed with certainty.
"I understand."
Horikita Suzune took a deep breath and shifted her gaze away from Ryuen Kakeru.
That appearance was like having one's enthusiasm extinguished.
"I thought you were such a difficult person to deal with, but it turns out you're so shallow. I'm such a fool to be secretly wary of you," Horikita Suzune said.
She must be very disappointed now, right?
Hori's previous evaluation of Ryuen Kakeru must have made Horikita Suzune quite guarded and attentive towards him.
However, coming here with full guard and attention, Horikita Suzune saw her opponent's self-indulgence.
If this isn't disheartening, then what is?
Therefore, Horikita Suzune didn't conceal her disgust.
"It's pitiful for Class C to be ruled by someone like you."
Is this the only thought Horikita Suzune has now?
Unfortunately...
"Why are you disappointed over there? Woman," Ryuen Kakeru didn't mind Horikita Suzune's sarcasm at all, smirked, and said confidently, "Although you have a nice gaze, you're still not qualified to compete with me."
"What did you say?" Horikita Suzune redirected her sharp gaze back to Ryuen Kakeru.
Ryuen Kakeru remained unfazed.
"I said, you're just a woman of that level."
Ryuen Kakeru, ignoring Horikita Suzune's seemingly predatory attitude, looked at Hori with a smirk.
"If it's this man by your side, then you'll understand why I took this action."
Hearing Ryuen Kakeru's words, Horikita Suzune was momentarily stunned, then also turned her gaze to Hori.
There, Hori had not said anything about what Class C had done from beginning to end.
As Ryuen Kakeru said, Hori indeed understood why Ryuen Kakeru took this action.
This man is ultimately targeting individual points, not class points.
So, it's not surprising that all the points are being spent here.
In a sense, this is also predictable.
But...
"Regardless of points, are you really giving up on this special exam?" Hori met Ryuen Kakeru's gaze and said with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, "I thought you still wanted to play with me."
Hori's words caused Ryuen Kakeru's unabashed smile to slightly diminish, showing a slight change.
Then, Ryuen Kakeru, as if wanting to have a serious conversation for the first time, slightly lifted himself off the beach chair and sat up.
"Indeed, if I can continue playing with you, then this special exam isn't meaningless."
Ryuen Kakeru stared at Hori intently, only speaking after a long pause, as if losing his fighting spirit.
"But there's no need to rush."
After all, there are still three years until graduation, right?
"We have plenty of opportunities to play slowly." Ryuen Kakeru said, "So, this time I just want to enjoy my vacation. If you want to play, let's wait until the end of summer vacation, back at school."
With that said, Ryuen Kakeru lay back down.
That completely relaxed appearance, coupled with the cheers and laughter of Class C around them, seemed to tell others that now, they just wanted to enjoy themselves, not fight.
Horikita Suzune seemed to want to say something more.
However, Hori held Horikita Suzune's shoulder and prevented her from speaking.
"This morning, a trash named Ishizaki from your side came to our camp and told us that your classmates Ibuki and Kaneda were expelled by you. If they wants your forgiveness, they have to come back and beg on their knees."
Hori suddenly brought up such a matter.
"What do you think about this?" Hori asked abruptly.
Hori's sudden words made Ryuen Kakeru squint his eyes.
Then, Ryuen Kakeru looked at Ishizaki Daichi beside him.
"You actually did such a boring thing?" Ryuen Kakeru said to Ishizaki Daichi coldly, as if handing down a judgment.
Ishizaki Daichi's face turned pale instantly.
"I... I just felt that leaving them in the forest was a bit... so... so that's why..."
Ishizaki Daichi explained tremblingly.
Hearing this, combined with the current situation, presumably, the reason behind this is not difficult to guess.
Apparently, because of Ryuen Kakeru's reckless spending of points, Ibuki Mio and Kaneda Satoru expressed opposition and resistance to his behavior, but instead, they were driven out by Ryuen Kakeru.
Ishizaki Daichi was worried about the whereabouts of these two classmates, so he went out to find them on his own, hoping to make them come back to the camp and apologize to Ryuen Kakeru and return to the campsite.
It seems that this was done without Ryuen Kakeru's consent.
"Never mind, if those two really can't survive and want to come back to apologize, then I'm not incapable of forgiving them." Ryuen Kakeru, with little interest, withdrew his gaze from Ishizaki Daichi and said indifferently, "It's a rare vacation, and I don't want a bunch of useless people to ruin my mood."
The conversation between Hori, Horikita Suzune, and Ryuen Kakeru ended here.
"If you want to stay and play, I don't mind entertaining you guys."
Ryuen Kakeru glanced at Hori first, then looked at Horikita Suzune, grinned again.
"Especially you, woman, I really want to see you surrender in front of me."
Horikita Suzune didn't want to listen to Ryuen Kakeru's perverse words anymore.
"Let's go."
Horikita Suzune didn't engage in any further conversation with Ryuen Kakeru and took the lead in leaving.
Hori also turned around, looking at the laughing and cheerful Class C, while also watching Ryuen Kakeru lying back on the beach chair, his eyes flashing.
Before long, Hori and Horikita Suzune left the beach completely and re-entered the forest.
