บท 22: #22 Felix's searching group
"Absence at morning and evening roll calls, stealing or using violence against other classes. Pollution of surrounding areas, illness, injury... For everything mentioned we can lose our S-points. Also if we can find and secure certain spots we gain points" Hirata read out the list of rules.
"Wow, we can gain class points equal to 30.000 private points each month!" Ike said excitedly, he is one of the idiots who almost spent all his points even though he was given a warning, so it was inevitable that he will be excited about this.
"But aren't we free to use those points? I think that we girls won't be able to use the basic toilet we were given" Karuizawa said with a worried expression.
"We can't! This is our chance to get more class points, we can't spend our S-points on unnecessary things" The guy named Yukimura said aloud. I didn't have much contact with him but he is someone with good academic abilities but he has poor athletic ability. He has ragged breath when just walking.
While they kept arguing about what should we buy and not, I was having my entire attention focused on my wristwatch. I used to do a lot of things with computers and I even studied telecom engineering a bit. But I would need a lot of time and tools to break this wristwatch's functions. I guess I will simply damage it in water, even though we were told that they are waterproof, nothing working on electricity is truly waterproof. I could at least pair my watches with Matsushita's to know my class's location when I will go scout out the entire island. As for the rules about stealing and violence...They only apply if you are caught and there are no cameras on this island, with damaged watches I will have some time before I will need to report it to the school and change them for new ones. I will be able to damage my wristwatches at most 2 times, I can't make the school too suspicious. If there will be a great opportunity to damage any class I might even risk the third time.
"We also have to take care of a problem who will be our class leader, then there is a problem with guessing other leaders. A reward is surely pleasant, 50 points for each leader but if we guess wrong then we lose 50 points" Hirata mentioned other problems we will have to face.
"I think we should first find the mentioned "spots" and make them our base before we decide our leader or how to spend our S-points" Hirata suggested and everyone agreed.
Everyone entered the forest and started searching for the spots, few of the students went alone but most of them went together as group. I was part of the group led my Hirata but I stopped for a while to check something under my clothes.
"Walker-kun, is something the matter?" Hirata asked me with a confused expression once he noticed that I stopped walking.
"It's nothing..." I resumed walking and lightly smiled at Hirata. When he turned around to continue the search, I smirked.
It's still there, these clothes are actually so light that I almost forgot I had them on. I wasn't thinking about the clothes we got from school but the clothes I wore under them. I was able to smuggle in one set of clothes, if Ike or someone else knew this they wouldn't be surprised at all, after all, it was just one set of clothes. But for me, it was a treasure that would help me in my action to damage other classes. It was like a "ninja" outfit, pitch black, light and thin, covering entire body except for eyes. I bought it in the past just because I thought that training in it would be much more comfortable. I never thought that it would come in handy but it will become extremely valuable at night.
"This is taking forever, how about we split up into smaller groups?" Yukimura suggested
"Alright! I want to go with Hirata-kun!" Karuizawa shout out and raised her hand up.
"Me too!" Girls started to fight for a position in Hirata's group.
"We should split up evenly. We should name a few leaders of these small groups and then others can decide who they want to join. How about it?" Hirata suggested with helpless smile.
"Then let's start, who will volunteer to be a leader?" Hirata asked after no one had any objections
...
...
Nothing but silence.
"Hirata-kun, just name a few people, they won't volunteer anyway" Karuizawa said.
*sigh* "Alright, we can't waste our time here. Ayanokoji-kun, Yukimura-kun will you do it?" Hirata asked
"...Ok"
"No problem"
Both of them answered.
"Shouldn't we make at least one more group? I think that 3 groups are too little" Karuizawa said
"Then how about...?" Hirata started to look at every student in our class but when he saw me he suddenly stopped.
Please no, I don't want to do any babysitting... I wanted to go scout out the area alone, walking with someone else will take much more time since they won't be able to keep up with my speed and I won't even mention stamina.
"Walker-kun, are you perhaps accustomed to these kinds of situations?" When Hirata asked me this everyone turned to look at me.
"What do you mean? Surviving in the wildness?" I asked him with a little confused expression.
"No, I mean... Ever since we entered the forest you seemed extremely calm maybe occasionally even happy" Hirata said with a bit of hope in eyes.
"I simply like nature... but I guess you can say that I am a little bit experienced" There was no need to lie and make Hirata suspicious of me. Better say that I know a thing or two about surviving.
"Would you mind being a leader of one of the groups?" Hirata asked me with a pleading face.
Yes, I would mind. That's what I would like to say but I guess I won't be able to.
"Of course not but I wonder if anyone would even want to join my group..." I said aloud and looked around the students.
"I will go!" Matsushita instantly raised her hand up.
Well, at least I will be able to pair up our watches.
"Anyone else?" Hirata asked.
Silence again...
I guess no one really trusts me since I am a little bit hard to approach. That's at least what I thought until I saw one of the girls raising her thumb towards Matsushita... Do they want us to be alone? That would put me in a pretty awkward situation.
I looked at Hirata with a helpless expression that said 'help requested'
"Karuizawa-san, how about you go?" Hirata said with a smile.
"Eeeeh?!" Hirata's words made Karuizawa flustered
I noticed how Matsushita frowned and had a bit sad expression.
Well now it will be even more awkward, thank you for your help Hirata, much appreciated
"Now that we have leaders and groups, we can go search for the "spots" Let's meet up here once again after 1 hour from now" Hirata said and left with his group
.
.
.
"I guess we should go too" I said with a helpless smile after watching everyone leave except for Karuizawa and Matsushita.
"Hmph!" Karuizawa acted like a spoiled brat that didn't get any sweets.
"Hmph!" Matsushita looked at Karuizawa for a moment and then turned her head to another direction.
Huh? Even you, Matsushita? My god, this will be really annoying.
We left the meeting place and started our search.
.
.
After around 15 minutes of walking around.
I raised my hand indicating for them to stop.
"What?" Karuizawa asked me.
"Ssh!" I raised my finger to my lips to tell them to be quiet.
When they looked in the same direction as me they were surprised.
"*Deer?!*" Both of them "screamed" out in a whisper.
"*What do you want to do, Walker-kun?*" Matsushita asked me with a confused face.
"*What do you mean? Don't you see that walking food right before your eyes?*" I asked her with face 'Are you serious?'
"*WHAT?! We don't have any weapons and even if we had I doubt we would be able to catch it!*" Karuizawa almost shouted out in surprise from my words
"*Walker-kun, this time I agree with Karuizawa-san...*" Matsushita said in not too pleasant tone.
"*Oh, shut up you love-struck girl*" Karuizawa didn't like her tone so she returned fire.
"*Wha-what do you me-mean by that?!*" Matsushita turned red and threw me a secret glace if I was looking at her but I didn't care about their conversation. Well, maybe I did but not in subject of their talk.
"*Shut up, both of you*" I said in an annoyed tone.
"..."
"..."
Thank you, I might even fall in love with both of you if you can keep your mouths shut for the rest of our searching time together.
"*Girls...Wait here and promise me that you won't be looking at me or deer, simply just turn around to be safe*" I turned at them and told them my request.
"*What? Why?*" Karuizawa asked me with a suspicious face.
"*Trust me... it will be better for all of us if you won't be watching*" I said with a serious expression I rarely had which surprised both of them.
After a few seconds, they gently nodded and turned around.
*sigh* Finally, I am surprised that deer is still there after so much time wasted with talking.
I took a deep breath, crouched and slowly approached the deer. When I was about 3 meters from it I stopped.
I guess that's the nearest place I can get to without it noticing me. I could simply sprint after it from the start but I was a little worried that girls would break their promise and see me run faster than a deer which would cause a lot of problems for me.
I positioned my body so I could catch it in instant I kick off the ground.
I took another deep breath and used entire power in my leg to kick off the ground. I leaped at the deer so fast that it had no time to even react. I locked my arms around the deer's neck and with a swift motion, I broke it's neck.
It's weight was around 40 kilograms but I raised it from the ground easily with just one hand. Of course, I had to act like it is heavy because of girls so I loaded the dead deer on my back and went back to girls.
"Yo!" I called out to them and they turned around.
"WHAT?!" They both cried out at the same time when they saw me smiling with a deer over my shoulders.
