Classroom of the Elite, Kusuo Saiki

For the first time, a look of shock appeared on Kusuo Saiki's face.

"You're saying this man, whose scalp shines brighter than a fluorescent light and who looks at least thirty or forty, is a student in Class A and our age?"

Kusuo Saiki still found it hard to believe this fact.

"Hey, there's no need to be so surprised, Qi Mu."

This was also the first time that Kanji Ike had seen a hint of surprise in the eyes of Kusuo Saiki, who was usually expressionless.

Except when necessary, Kusuo Saiki rarely interacts with people from other classes, especially Class A.

"I suggest you learn some manners so you don't cause trouble for others."

Katsuragi Kohei spoke slowly to Sudo Ken, shaking his head at the same time.

"cut."

Takeru Sudo glared at Yahiko Totsuka. Although he really disliked the other man, he was also very clear that he couldn't cause trouble.

"Sudo, let's go to another restaurant."

Kanji Ike came over, patted Ken Sudo on the shoulder, and then turned to look at Kusuo Saiki.

"Qi Mu, let's go."

'Hey, hey, hey, you're acting like I'm one of your accomplices.'

Although Kusuo Saiki was somewhat helpless, he had no choice but to leave with the other party.

However, before leaving, he activated his telekinesis and overturned the plate in front of Totsuka Yahiko.

"Aaaaaaah! It's hot!"

Totsuka Yahiko's screams echoed through the restaurant.

.....

Meanwhile, on the other side of the cruise ship.

Horikita Suzune and Ayanokoji Kiyotaka were sitting in the outer booths.

"Ayanokouji, you really didn't do the recording?"

Horikita Suzune said with an extremely serious expression, while staring intently at Ayanokoji Kiyotaka.

"Spare me. You've been agonizing over this for a long time, haven't you? I can tell you very clearly that this has nothing to do with me."

Kiyotaka Ayanokoji shook his head, looking somewhat helpless, and said...

"Based on speculation, the most likely cause of the problem is within Class D itself."

"Yes, that's true..."

Horikita Suzune nodded. Although she found it hard to believe, it was the most likely option at the moment.

"Yo, Rinne."

Just then, a very frivolous voice came from the side, and Horikita Suzune immediately knew who the voice belonged to.

Ryuen Sho.

At this moment, Ryuen Sho, along with Albert, Ibuki Mio, and others, arrived in front of Horikita Suzune.

"Don't call me by my name without permission."

Facing the seemingly aggressive Ryuen Sho, Horikita Suzune didn't even look at him directly. Although this was their first formal meeting, they had already heard about each other.

"Yo."

Seeing Horikita Suzune's reaction, Ryuen Sho's face revealed a meaningful smile, while his sharp gaze fell on Horikita Suzune.

"Did you make the recording?"

His gaze was like that of a hunter who had spotted his prey.

In the days leading up to the holiday, Ryu Won-sang spent every day investigating the incident that occurred during the recording.

He confiscated all the students' cell phones and then investigated everyone's spending records. This was a time-consuming and laborious process, but Long Yuanxiang had no choice but to do it in order to find out the truth.

However, the result was not satisfactory.

Since there were no abnormalities in anyone's spending or communication records, Long Yuanxiang believes there is only one possibility now.

It wasn't a mole within the class, but rather someone from Class C who did it.

"Why should I tell you."

Horikita Suzune ignored Ryuen Sho's attitude and simply gave this answer.

"You should think about whether it's your domineering behavior in class that makes your classmates dislike you."

Beside Horikita Suzune, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka remained silent, watching them quietly.

[Since Longyuan reacted this way, then they've probably confirmed that it wasn't someone from their D class. Longyuan and D class hadn't taken any action for a while, probably investigating whether there was a mole within the class. But now they're openly appearing before us, which means they've confirmed there's no problem inside... So, was it someone from our class who did it?]

Could it be Qi Mu? There's no concrete evidence yet.

[Longyuan seems to be here to provoke us, but they're probably just testing us.]

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka made this judgment in his mind.

"is it?"

Ryuen Sho narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully observing Horikita Suzune. He had obtained information about Class C from Kushida Kikyo, knowing that the leaders of Class D were Hirata Yosuke and Horikita Suzune.

I can't see any useful information.

Long Yuanxiang thought to himself, then continued with a smile:

"I don't know how you guys managed to do it, but anyway, I've found that guy and will give him a good talking to—nice to meet you after that!"

Long Yuanxiang waved his hand, and then led everyone away.

Horikita Suzune watched Ryuen Sho's departing figure, her expression gradually becoming serious.

She had heard some things about Ryuuen Sho, and Horikita Suzune did not approve of Ryuuen Sho's behavior of using violence to rule the class.

However, like Ryuen Sho, Horikita Suzune was also very curious about the recording incident.

But at that moment, the cruise ship's public address system came on again.

"Please put on your sportswear and proceed to the deck to meet up."

"what?"

Horikita Suzune raised an eyebrow slightly; this notification was somewhat unexpected.

"After all, this school is somewhat different from others. It's easy to imagine that it's not just an ordinary vacation."

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka replied.

"Well, let's go."

.....

A few minutes later.

Almost all the first-year students had come up to the deck, including Kusuo Saiki.

"Why are we suddenly gathered together? Are we heading to our destination?"

"We agreed to stay overnight on some small island, but why did we specifically change into sportswear?"

"I'm not sure, is it some kind of event or something?"

Chapter 65: The Special Exam Officially Begins!

Students from all four classes (A, B, C, and D) had arrived on the deck. Kusuo Saiki turned to look at the distance; the cruise ship had already docked next to the island.

The surrounding students were mostly in a state of excitement and had no idea of ​​the school's true purpose in arranging this camp.

"Please disembark in order and proceed to the island assembly point—and please have everyone hand over their mobile phones to your homeroom teacher."

A teacher spoke to everyone present through a megaphone.

"Strange, are they going to confiscate phones this time?"

Some of those present who heard these words had already vaguely sensed that something was amiss.

Meanwhile, Takeru Sudo, completely oblivious to this, smiled and said to Kanji Ike and Haruki Yamauchi beside him:

"Our school is quite considerate; they prevent our phones from falling into the water."

"Hey, hey, hey, anyone with a reasonably healthy brain should be able to tell something's wrong. Even a monkey from the zoo should be able to tell something's wrong."

Kusuo Saiki thought to himself.

"Indeed!"

Haruki Yamauchi immediately gave an affirmative answer.

Are you and him from the same zoo?

......

After a series of checks, Kusuo Saiki and his classmates finally left the cruise ship and arrived on the island.

Without the luxurious environment of a cruise ship, the glaring sunlight poured directly onto everyone, and the warm sea breeze carried a faint fishy smell.

"Now let's start the roll call."

After Chabashira Sae perfunctorily completed the roll call, another man walked up to the group and stepped onto a makeshift white platform.

His name is Majima Tomoya, and he is the homeroom teacher of Class A.

"First of all, I am very glad that you have all arrived here today. However, on the other hand, although there is only one student, it is also very regrettable that someone is unable to attend due to illness."

Majima Tomoya said slowly.

"There are always guys who can't travel because they're sick, how pitiful."

Kanji Ike shook his head, his eyes filled with pity.

Beside him, Kusuo Saiki's inner thoughts were completely the opposite.

'Damn it, can't we just take sick leave? Teacher Chabashira said everyone had to participate... If I take sick leave, does that mean I can rest on the cruise ship and not have to take the exam?'
