[A/N: I wanted to inform you all that I going to use POVs now. It's still going to be in third person mostly. But I wanted to write in first person as third person can get pretty monotunous. Also, to clarify. The below text is happening on the same day as the previous chapter. Anyway, Happy reading!]
YUTO POV
"Rei really did go on a frenzy today," I muttered to myself as I lay on my bed. It was an eerily similar feeling to that time when Suzune came to my dorm to ask me questions. Even then, I was simply lying down, staring at the ceiling. 'It would be pretty funny if Suzune came to my dorm now,' I thought to myself with a chuckle. Just then, I heard the doorbell.
'Oy oy, this is too similar. It's dead in the night.'
I walked out to see Suzune looking to her left, with her arms crossed, as she repeatedly tapped her feet to the ground. My eyes widened as I felt a broad smile creep its way onto my face.
"Suzune!" I bubbled.
"Don't shout," she said as she simply walked into my room.
"Eh?"
'EHHHH?'
'She just walked into my room, right? She just walked into my room!' My thoughts scrambled. "Stop making weird faces," Suzune cut my thoughts as I felt a warm red liquid come out of my nose. Suzune grimaced as she quickly added, "Don't you dare get the wrong idea! I just didn't want to talk outside!" My ears were numb. I couldn't hear anything she said. But I realized that I could definitely feel pain when she kicked me on my shin. "Hope that snapped you out of your fantasies," she snarled as she handed me a tissue paper.
"So what brings my ice queen into my humble abode!" I said with a smile. She suddenly shifted her posture as she stumbled on words. I sat in front of her with a curious face. I felt her become a bit pink as she made eye contact with me.
"Oh, seems like you still have a fever," I gasped as I put my hand onto her forehead. She suddenly grabbed my hand tightly as she shot a glare at me, "What do you think you're doing?" she hissed. I didn't say anything and put a forced smile on my face.
She let out a sigh as she finally spoke, "Listen, I will only say this once."
I looked into her vermillion eyes. I could see her outline get a bit red.
"Thank you."
Omni POV
Yuto looked her dead in the eye, with a straight face. "Anything else?" Horikita clenched her jaw as she pinched Yuto's thigh. "At least say welcome!" she snapped. "Hey! You're welcome! Please stop pinching me." Horikita clicked her tongue as she began walking away again. 'Too similar...' Yuto frowned at the thought.
That's when Horikita turned back. 'Oh... That's new,' he thought as Horikita cheeks flushed as she shifted her gaze to the ground. "I... allow you to be my friend," she finally muttered. Yuto's face turned to stone. He simply got up and curled into a ball in the corner of the room. Soon, sniffling could be heard in the room.
Horikita furrowed her brows, "Why are you crying?" she asked in a confused voice. This was the first time she allowed anyone to be her friend. They should be grateful! Yuto bit his lip as he stuttered, "I.... *sniff* ...thought we were already.... *sniff* ..friends..."
Horikita didn't know how to respond to that. She didn't want to hurt Yuto since he did help her a lot. That's when she said, "Then how about we be best friends!" she said in the most cheery voice she can do. It sounded more like a horse's cry though.
That's when Yuto did a 180 and asked Horikita with a very warm smile, "How about you be my girlfriend-"
He got bonked.
"Don't get too cocky, Yuto-kun," Horikita finished as she threw an icy glare at Yuto before proceeding to leave. Yuto stayed silent until she left. Then lifted his head as stary eyes appeared.
"She thanked me!"
Yuto threw his arms up in celebration and began running in circles around the room, his hands still in the air.
"What an idiot..." Horikita sighed as she heard Yuto's screams echoing through the corridor.

"What are you doing Kazuki-kun?"
Yuto removed the book from his face to see a upbeat Kushida with a straight face and answered, "Well, since the special exam is starting soon, I was catching some sleep." Yuto was confused. Kushida had been avoiding him for so long. Since the shark incident, Kushida seemed to be more and more talkitive with him.
Yuto looked at his phone as he said, "Oh, I got to go." Kushida tilted her head, "Kazuki-kun, we still have 10 mins." Yuto chuckled akwardly, "Well I have to start early as I walk slower." he pointed to his cast. Kushida chuckled akwardly aswell, "Right..."

YUTO POV
*Ding dong*
"Come in~~" a voice said behind the door. The voice instantly made me uncomfortable as I opened the door to see: Sakura, Sudo, Matsushita and Hoshinomiya-sensei.
"Looks like I am the last." I laughed softly. "Oh my!~ What a cute boy you are~." Sensei giggled. I shivered at her tone. It was so.. seducive.. I took a sit next Sudo, who patted my back with a grin. I smiled back and then turned to Sensei, who began to explained the special exam.
From my understanding, there were 8 groups. Each group had 14 people, mixed up from different classes. Then there was a VIP in each group. At the end of the exam, we must identify this VIP. But a traitor can also name the VIP before the end of the exam. If they are wrong, they get a penalty of -50 class points and the VIP's class get's +50 class points and the VIP get's 500,000 private points, but if they are right, their class gets +50 class points and 500,000 private points! That was the moment I decided that, I want that money. As long as I am not the VIP, spotting the VIP would be easy with their microexpressions and I could end the test quick and relax....

A day later...
"Why the fuck am I the VIP?!" I racked my head while looking at my phone.
Give me comments if you are ok with POVs or want me to continue in third person
Omni POV
Yuto's mournful mood changed abruptly when his phone rang and Suzune's name was displayed. "Oh, it's Suzune," he remarked as he answered the call.
[Where are you?]
"'I'm on my way, remember I'm injured?" Yuto fibbed softly.
[Hurry up, we need to talk.]
"'I'm here,"' Yuto announced, gesturing to a nearby table. Ayanokoji and Horikita acknowledged him with a wave. Yuto took a seat next to Horikita and grinned playfully.
Horikita opened her mouth to speak as she said, "Nice weather, isn't it?"
The three turned around and saw Ryuen, Ibuki, and Albert. "Suzune, are you the VIP?" Ryuen asked. Horikita frowned as she replied, "You know I'm not going to tell you that.-"
But Yuto quickly cut in and gave Ryuen a fierce look. "Hey, Five-Fingered Forehead-kun," he warned, "Don't you dare call Suzune by her first name."
Ryuen's eyes narrowed as he met Yuto's gaze, and he ignored Horikita's attempt to speak. "Hey Suzune, tell your crippled dog here not to stick his nose where he doesn't belong." Horikita grimaced as she looked at Ryuen, sighing, "Don't call that masochistic idiot my dog." She glanced at Yuto, who blinked his eyes in delight. Ryuen looked at Yuto's expression and started laughing maniacally while Horikita pinched Yuto's thigh
Ryuen finally stopped laughing as he looked at Horikita with a straight face, "You should know why I'm here. Tell me, what did you do at the island exam?" Horikita scoffed, "As if I'd tell you that." Ryuen giggled, "Yeah, right," and took a picture of Horikta, who immediately stood up, "Don't take my picture!" Ryuen started laughing and waved his cell phone in the air. He opened his mouth to say something, but didn't have time because Yuto knocked the phone out of his hand with the stick. The phone fell into the sea.
Ryuen narrowed his eyes and glared at Yuto, "How dare you..." Yuto chuckled as he said, "What do you mean? I did the world a favour by erasing the mess you had in there!" He paused and frowned as his narrowed eyes took on a purple hue, "You should be glad I didn't break a bone or two," he growled in a low voice. Ryuen's face instantly burst into laughter: "What's a crippled dog like you supposed to do?" he gaped. Yuto had his emotions under control and simply stared at Ryuen, who then stood up and walked away with a grin.
Yuto sighed and looked at Horikita.
"Huh?"
She was blushing! "Suzune! I think you have a fever again!" Yuto panicked while Ayanokoji sighed, 'How stupid can he be with Horikita?' Horikita just stared at Yuto's worried expression as she thought, 'That was actually pretty cool...

"Heyy! Kazuki-san, wait up!" Hashimoto called out. Yuto turned, a playful glint in his eyes. "Oh! If it isn't that lolli's steed!" he teased with a mischievous grin. Hashimoto chuckled, brushing off the quip, before getting to the point. "You're also in the cow group, right?"
Yuto's expression shifted, his eyes narrowing slightly, though his tone remained upbeat. "You seem awfully perceptive..." Hashimoto laughed, trying to diffuse any tension. "Hey, come on! It's only natural since you've garnered Sakayanagi's attention!" Before Yuto could respond, Hashimoto steered the conversation elsewhere. "Seems like we're here."
As they entered the room, Yuto's gaze fixated on one individual, a grin stretching from ear to ear. Reo Kondo felt a shiver course down his spine as he locked eyes with the last person he wanted to encounter. He fought back the urge to cry.
Claiming a corner seat beside Matsushita, Yuto exchanged waves with his acquaintance before surveying the room. Each occupant scrutinized him with keen, cautionary eyes, likely heeding the warnings from their respective class leaders. Yuto chuckled awkwardly, attempting to break the tension. "Hey guys, care to offer introductions?"
They exchanged glances before nodding assent.

YUTO POV
"I didn't care much for introductions, nor did I pay attention to them. I glanced at Kondo, who had been avoiding my gaze every time I looked at him. I could end the exam right here if I wanted to. All I have to do is tell Kondo to name a random guy the VIP as the traitor, and I would win. However, doing this would risk Ryuen suspecting rats in his class. I couldn't allow that for a mere 50 class points. After all, in the island exam, it was very easy for us to maneuver around Ryuen, as Ishizaki had told us his entire plan.
That's how I concluded. I wanted to end the exam early. I placed my elbows on the table as I relaxed my chin on my wrist. Everyone directed their attention to me.
I narrowed my eyes to look serious as I spoke, "Listen, everyone." I paused, "Honestly, I don't plan on wasting six hours of my life pointlessly discussing who the VIP is or what case we should go with."
A few people gulped as they waited to hear what I would say next. "I want to end all the discussion today! So here is what we will do!" I said in a cheery voice. They all were shocked at my sudden change in expression. I turned my head to Yume Kobashi from Class B and began, "Kobashi-san, are you the VIP?" Yume looked shocked but she calmly replied, "Why would I tell you that?"
I put on a frown expression as I pushed a paper across the table to the classes. Hashimoto raised his brow as he looked at me, "Kazuki-chan, are you saying you want to go with Case 1?" I nodded as I said, "I plan to use this room as my resting place for the next 4 days, and it's the only one which shall benefit all the classes."
Hashimoto continued as he looked at the paper, "This contract states that no one will name the VIP until the end of the exam. In exchange, Class D shall form an alliance with the respective class for 3 months." I nodded as Hashimoto continued, "Then what is the point of all of this when you can just learn about the VIP on the last day?" I raised a brow as he pulled out a deck of cards, "I told you, didn't I? I want to relax and play here instead of having pointless discussions."
Hashimoto started chuckling as he replied, "And what if we don't take the contract?"
I narrowed my eyes as I said in an intimidating tone, "Then you shall be declared as Class D's enemy."
I'm sorryy (┬┬﹏┬┬). I intially wanted to end the exam quick as I told with Kondo naming a random guy the VIP, but I saw a comment and decided to rewrite the whole thing, to make it 'interesting'. Plus I binged watched Oregiaru for the first time which was amazing. Anyway, is exam is still going to be quick but interesting this time.
