Bab 294: -290- That much-anticipated future
First Year Student Dormitory, Advanced Nurturing High School.
After returning to his room, Nanaya Hori first took off his jacket and took out a memory card from it.
Holding the memory card, Hori approached his laptop, inserted the card into a card reader, and plugged it into the computer.
Soon, a video feed began to display on the laptop screen.
"Wow, Sakura-san, you have such a great figure."
"Please... please don't stare at me, Ichinose-san."
"What's the big deal? We're all girls here. Kushida-san, don't you also think Sakura-san has a great figure?"
"Yes, it's truly enviable, but Honami-chan's figure is also quite nice."
"Not as good as Sakura-san's. What do you think, Horikita-san?"
"From visual observation, that seems to be the case. However, I think you're not easy to deal with either."
In the video, the voices of Horikita Suzune, Kushida Kikyou, Sakura Airi, and Ichinose Honami could be heard.
It was a video of a group of girls changing clothes in the locker room by the swimming pool.
Hori watched as the girls undressed completely, revealing their attractive figures, and changed into swimsuits. He couldn't help but smirk.
"They actually set up hidden cameras, those idiots."
The culprits behind these recordings were naturally Ike Kanji, Yamauchi Haruki, and Sudou Ken.
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka had informed Hori about this last night.
"Those three plan to secretly install cameras in the locker room to spy on the girls in our class. I believe this could potentially cause a significant rift between the boys and girls in Class D, so I wanted to ask for your help to stop this."
Last night, Ayanokouji called Hori to inform him of this matter.
That explained why those three idiots had been unusually excited and sneaky all day.
Considering Ichinose and Sakura, Hori agreed to help with this matter.
After the group dispersed, Hori returned to the swimming pool to retrieve the memory card from the camera.
Those three fools, eagerly waiting to enjoy the sight of the girls' bodies, were probably screaming and wailing in their dorms right now.
"I can't believe they did something like this."
Hori sighed, turned off the computer, removed the memory card, and held it in his hand, hesitating for a while before finally deciding not to destroy it.
"I'll keep it as a souvenir."
Hori made a decision that Ayanokouji would surely regret asking for his help if he found out. He put the memory card away.
Afterwards, Hori took a shower, read a book for a while, and when it was almost midnight, he lay down on his bed and took out his phone.
The screen displayed "23:59."
In other words...
"In one minute, the summer vacation will be over."
The second semester would begin in one minute.
The class points and personal points earned during the summer vacation would be added to each class's and each student's accounts in one minute.
At that time, Class D would be just one step away from Class C, and Hori would receive more than seventy million points.
Staring at the time, Hori smiled.
"Today was quite an interesting day."
Indeed, many things had happened today, and he had met many interesting people.
Nagumo Miyabi, who intended to revolutionize the Advanced Nurturing High School and transform it into a true meritocracy.
Ayanokouji's father, who once stood toe-to-toe with Hori's adoptive father and is now planning to stage a grand comeback, aiming to control the entire world.
And Sakayanagi Arisu, whose reputation matched the rumors—aggressive and deserving of her title as a radical.
"On the last day of summer vacation, to meet so many interesting people is quite unexpected."
These interesting people would significantly influence Hori's upcoming school life.
Nagumo saw Hori as the biggest obstacle to controlling the first-year students.
Ayanokouji's father had also set his sights on Hori and would likely take action outside the school, unwilling to waste the opportunity of having the next heir of the Nanaya clan in the school.
Sakayanagi's declaration made it clear that Hori had become her target, and she would take action to defeat him starting tomorrow.
These people would come at Hori, becoming his enemies.
Additionally, Hori had other opponents.
Since his second defeat to Hori on the luxury cruise, Ryuen Kakeru had been lying low. Whether he had given up on fighting or was preparing a trump card to strike Hori at the critical moment was unknown.
Horikita Manabu, wanting Hori to join the student council to counter Nagumo, would certainly take action regarding this matter.
And then there was Ayanokouji Kiyotaka.
This master of pretending to be weak and defeating the strong secretly might be planning something in the dark, possibly to Hori's disadvantage.
One after another, these opponents and potential threats reignited Hori's long-dormant fighting spirit.
Hori couldn't help but feel excited.
The thought of the unpredictable second semester and the high-level, extraordinary opponents aiming for him rekindled his battle spirit.
"Speaking of which, there's also the matter with Ichinose."
After today's ambiguous interactions, Hori's relationship with Honami Ichinose might undergo unprecedented changes.
How would Sakura Airi react to this?
Additionally, Hori had been meeting privately with Karuizawa Kei daily to treat the scars on her abdomen.
The conflict between Horikita Suzune and Kushida Kikyou was still brewing and ready to explode.
All these things told Hori that the second semester starting tomorrow would be even more eventful.
Hori truly began to look forward to it.
He looked forward to the changes in his school life and the unpredictable future.
How far could he go under the "rules" of this school?
Would there really be someone here who could defeat him?
These thoughts made Hori feel that the future was full of excitement.
"Coming to this school was indeed the right choice."
The enjoyment that he never experienced even within his clan continued to come at him.
"Let me look forward to it a bit."
As Hori said this, the time on the phone screen changed from "23:59" to "00:00."
A new day had arrived.
The second semester had begun.
Starting today, Hori would face new challenges.
As for how these challenges would affect Hori, others, the school, and even the world, no one knew.
But one thing was certain.
Here, Hori would undergo changes unlike any previous Nanaya.
Whether these changes would be good or bad would have to wait until then to be evaluated.
Until that much-anticipated future arrives.
