Kururugi POV
Lelouch and I are currently walking to where Class C is. To be honest, I am quite nervous having to deal with Ryuen again ever since our last encounter with him. But if he does try anything to harm us, then I won't hesitate to take action if necessary.
"What do you think is Ryuen's strategy here?" I asked
"We won't know until we find out but knowing him, he might have something up his sleeve" he said
"What could that be?"
"Let's find out" he said
"Lelouch"
"hmm?"
"What made you choose this school anyway?"
"Well for one, just the fact that this school is renowned for being great. This school exceeded my expectations for sure. The living standards here are quite luxurious for a high school student. Not only that, but the school also boasts about having some of the best students. I actually feel like this school might just give me the challenge I need, a simple goal for me to look forward to."
"I see. It's a bit strange to see you enjoying yourself given how apathetic you are in having a normal life"
"hmph, you are right but originally I didn't want to enroll because of Nunally but she was insistent of wanting me to enroll here and not worry about her. She said that it would hurt her more if I didn't follow through with my ambitions in life than not seeing each other for 3 years."
Lelouch with a bitter smile explained. I couldn't help but be happy for him.
"Well, I'm sure Nunally will be fine" I said assuring to him
It must've been hard for him to choose either his ambitions or his sister. In the end, Nunally did convince him otherwise. I know that he's sad about having to not see his sister, but since Lelouch decided to go to ANHS, I wanted to follow him as well. Make his new school life worth it.
"I think we're here" Lelouch said
We both looked around and we saw an unexpected sight. Class C looked pretty relaxed, in fact they're setting up a barbeque, they have umbrellas set up, and all the other things as well.
"Wait, are they serious? look at the items they have there" I said
"Yes, it seems that they must've thought of the same idea as we did"
*Flashback*
3rd person POV
Kururugi: Wait? why do we have to waste all 300 points?
Kei: Well Ayanokouji-san and I knew that even if we used our 300 points for this entire week, it wouldn't be a problem since according to the rules in this manual, even if we lose all 300 points, the effect will be negated since there is no chance in hitting negative values.
Lelouch: So, you're saying that by using up all of our points, it wouldn't matter since we'll be able to gain more by taking certain spots and guessing the leaders?
Ayanokouji: Exactly, that's why I plan on having Tatsuya, Kirigaya, Light, and Ryuzaki to search for the other spots. Giving us more bonus points. As for figuring out the leaders, Katagiri and I will be on it.
Lelouch: A divide and conquer strategy? not bad Ayanokouji. I must say you impress me with this level of thinking of yours. I guess we can just simply buy what is necessary such as beds, toilets, and other goods like water and food without a problem.
Ayanokouji: Also remember, Mashima-sensei said that the theme of the exam is freedom. So, we decide on what we should do on this island for the entire week.
*Flashback ends*
"Yes, looks like they figured it out too" I said
"Well, I guess we should go say hello then" Lelouch said
We walked towards where Ryuen and Class C are, and as we look around, they really have spent their points given the things such as food and other resources are not found on the island and were bought using the 300 points. We were now with Ryuen, and he noticed our presence.
"Ohh it's you Lelouch"
"It seems that you're enjoying yourself in this vacation of yours" Lelouch said
"Of course, we spent our points on the first day so we can relax ourselves, is that a problem?" Ryuen said
"Not really, but don't get too comfortable just because you're on vacation. I know you're plotting something"
"kukuku, is that so? if you're referring to how I'm going to figure out who the leaders are and taking spots then why would I reveal something like that to you?"
"I'm not here to force you to spill your plans to us since we know you're planning something foul given your methods"
I can sense the tension between Lelouch and Ryuen. I'm still quite in awe by their aura. I've known Lelouch for a long time and I know when he gets serious about dealing with an enemy. He'll do whatever it takes to defeat that enemy and submit to him.
"You're right but do you know what I'm planning?"
"So far all I see is a tyrant building his pathetic empire." he's really trying to get into Ryuen's skin as I noticed his veins on his head slowly showing itself.
"Fine talk like that, soon enough your class will crumble" he said with a smirk
"And what makes you say that?"
"Don't worry about that, go back to wherever you come from I'm busy here" he said as he walked away.
Lelouch seemed a bit puzzled by what he said but since he expects Ryuen to try something at some point within this week then we should keep our guard up.
"Suzaku, let's head back and report everything" he said
"Understood" I said as we went back to our camp.
Ryuen has plotted the same idea as our class but given that he's managed to figure this out himself means he's knowledgeable despite his use of violence. We definitely shouldn't underestimate him.
Meanwhile at school
3rd person POV
Manabu Horikita, the student council president, is currently walking with Tachibana around the halls. Of course, they are currently in school since the exams are for the first years this time around. As he quietly walks, a girl suddenly and accidently bumps into him. As the girl did, Manabu looked at the girl.
Manabu: *sigh* you should stop playing games while walking you know that? you might accidently bump into someone unknowingly.
???: I'm sorry Horikita-senpai, it's an uncontrollable habit of mine.
Manabu: then try changing it.
???: I'm trying to *pouts*
Manabu: you sound like you're in a bad mood again, let me guess it's something to do with him.
???: yeah, that Nagumo broke my 3rd Gameboy in just a month, and I had to waste points to buy another one. He's a real jerk, seriously why is he even part of the student council anyways?
Manabu: Even with his behavior and arrogance, he is an honor student from Class A showing a lot of promise.
???: yeah, he is smart and hardworking I'll give him that, but he just annoys me.
Manabu: fine I'll go talk to him but please put away that game at least for once.
???: sir yes sir, Horikita-senpai
