章節 109: -108- The silent clash
"Look... look over there!"
"Isn't that Katsuragi from Class A?"
"And Ichinose and Kanzaki from Class B."
"Ryuen from Class C is also there..."
"Isn't the one in the middle the Nanaya from Class D that has been talked about recently?"
"Th... those few people actually gathered together?"
"It feels really intense..."
On the deck of the cruise ship, students began to notice the situation here and whispered to each other.
And vaguely, students from various classes began to move towards the positions of their respective leaders.
Even Ike, Yamauchi, and Sudou came over here.
"Why is Nanaya with those guys?"
"I heard those people are tough from other classes."
"Are they planning a group fight?"
The three of them made such expressions with extreme puzzlement and surprise.
Naturally, facing this situation, Kushida Kikyou and Hirata Yousuke also came over.
"What's everyone doing here?"
"Can we join in too?"
The two central figures of Class D on the surface came to Hori's side, as if worried about what might happen to Hori, and stood by Hori's side.
On the other hand, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, who was originally closest to Hori, somehow withdrew at some point, reducing his presence to nothing and blending into the crowd.
This guy, as always, stayed away from the limelight, pushing his reclusive tendencies to the limit.
But Ayanokouji Kiyotaka did not leave, but observed the situation from the crowd.
Obviously, this big shot who had been pretending to be a sheep was not completely indifferent to the current situation.
All the central figures of the first-year four classes gathered here, emitting an atmosphere of confrontation, which made everyone unable to ignore it.
If Horikita Suzune were here, she would definitely pay attention to this scene.
But Horikita Suzune was not on the deck, but remained in her room, reading books in her solitary style.
Later, the proud girl would surely regret not being present.
Because the beginning of the class competition was unfolding here.
The central figures of the four grades in the first year were all gathered here, initiating their first confrontation.
Once again, Horikita Suzune fell behind others.
Of course, for the people present, perhaps, the name Horikita Suzune was just the name of a stranger.
Now, everyone gathered here because of one person.
That's Hori.
"...I just came to say hello to Nanaya, I didn't expect it to attract so much attention."
Katsuragi Kouhei said in a low voice.
"How lucky, I'm also here to say hello, but not because of you, but to continue the game we didn't finish last time."
Ryuen Kakeru inserted his hands into his pockets, not even looking at Katsuragi Kouhei, but staring at Hori as if targeting prey, smiling.
"The game mentioned by Ryuen always gives people a dangerous feeling. If possible, I really hope you can restrain yourself a bit."
Ichinose Honami seemed to kindly remind him. The reason she came here was partly attracted by the combination here, and partly to do something to guard against Ryuen Kakeru and to extend a helping hand to Hori?
"If possible, I also hope that everyone can get along well. Having a good relationship is the most important thing."
Hirata Yousuke sincerely expressed his hope, permeating his gentle personality to the end, while also protecting Hori in front of students from other classes.
"In the end, everyone came here because of Nanaya-kun, right? Nanaya-kun is really popular."
Kushida Kikyou, as if unable to see the tense atmosphere on the scene, only admired Hori's attractiveness, smiling sweetly.
"This really doesn't make me happy."
Hori seemed to reject all the goodwill and malice of everyone present, not showing obvious alignment with any side, but standing apart as if detached from the situation, appearing independent.
It is precisely this independent behavior that attracted all the central figures from various classes.
"I see, it seems that Hoshinomiya-sensei asked us to pay special attention to you for a reason. I think I understand now."
Kanzaki Ryuji calmly made this analysis.
As for the others, they couldn't intervene in this tense atmosphere at all.
For example, Totsuka Yahiko, who had always been arrogant.
And Ishizaki Daichi, who had been defeated by Hori.
Both of them seemed to be deterred by the dangerous atmosphere on the scene, silently swallowing their saliva.
Yamada Albert was quite calm, but he silently followed behind Ryuen Kakeru, not expressing anything, like a living bodyguard.
Even Karuizawa Kei, who was planning to approach, seemed reluctant to get close to this tricky scene and stayed with her friends.
The surrounding students unconsciously stopped discussing and held their breath.
It can be imagined how much pressure it is for bystanders when the central figures of the first-year four classes gather together in confrontation.
Only the people involved still behaved as they did.
"Speaking of which, Sakayanagi-san isn't here, right?" Ichinose Honami politely asked Katsuragi Kouhei, "Is she on the ship?"
"She should be in her room, right?" Kushida Kikyou also said with concern to Katsuragi Kouhei, "I heard Sakayanagi-san's health has always been poor, so traveling outside should be very difficult for her. I wonder if she needs help?"
The two girls simultaneously expressed their concern for another central figure in Class A.
"Don't worry," Katsuragi Kouhei said without changing his expression, "Because of her health, Sakayanagi did not participate in this trip plan and is now at school, so she won't be here."
This is truly an unexpected piece of news.
However, for this news, Ryuen Kakeru smiled.
"Is this okay, Katsuragi?" Ryuen Kakeru said happily, "Without Sakayanagi, Class A seems to be in trouble."
After all, others might be kept in the dark, but the people here are not ordinary people. They understand that this summer vacation is an important turning point for the four classes in the first year.
The absence of another central figure from Class A is indeed not a good thing for Class A.
But Katsuragi Kouhei countered it like this.
"I think it's better this way," Katsuragi Kouhei said, "There are many contradictions between me and Sakayanagi in our principles. Without Sakayanagi, Class A's actions won't be hindered by our differing ideologies and unnecessary disputes."
From this perspective, this is indeed a good thing.
"That's what he said." Ryuen Kakeru turned his head, looking at Hori and said with a smile, "What do you think, Nanaya?"
What do I think?
Isn't it obvious?
"It's quite regrettable," Hori said with a wry smile, expressing his thoughts.
"I also really want to meet Sakayanagi," Hori's words were sincere.
