Somewhere in ANHS
Nanami POV
My mission continues as I continue to slowly convince the other 2nd years to join me while others who are loyal to Nagumo persist. I sighed at the thought of these people. I already predicted that Nagumo will eventually rule the school with an iron fist. He's seriously going to be an unstoppable raid boss if I don't find more allies. Right now, I'm playing on my Nintendo Switch playing Pokémon Sword and I've caught every Pokémon including the legendary's. Man, I wish beating Nagumo is as easy as catching Pokémon. As I continue to walk the halls even if I'm focused on my game, I felt a strong aura passing me by and I immediately stopped.
"fufu, you know you should watch where you're going, you might accidentally bump into someone" a voice of a girl said
"Ohh I know who you are, you're Sakayanagi Arisu from Class 1-A right?"
"Impressive, even if you are glued to that device of yours, you know who I am"
"Well, did you know that I've practiced playing on multiple consoles at the same time which allowed me to learn how to multitask. The same goes to how I played the real-time strategy game Starcraft 2 where I multitask constantly like having both my armies simultaneously attack multiple bases as well as forcing my opponent's army to spread where I can play aggressively as well as baiting my opponent in a bad spot. So, multitasking has become second nature to me, so even if I'm strategizing my next move, I've also grown accustomed to knowing about people's names through their voice as long as have information on them of course" I explained
"Well, you're an interesting one" she said
"You know that video games can affect both your memory and learning at an increased rate, there is a study on that, I suggest you look it up"
"So, you enjoy video games this much?"
"Yeah" I replied while currently beating the Eternatus for the 2nd time
"What's your name?" she asked
"I'm Nanami Chiaki of Class 2-A"
"So, this means you're a senpai?"
"Yep"
"fufufufu, ohh I've heard that name, you're one of the 2nd years that got nearly 100 on the midterms."
"Yeah"
"You show an addiction to video games and yet you managed to get good scores in the process"
"I mean you could say video games are like my second teachers. At least for me" I said
I heard Sakayanagi giggle slightly
"You really are interesting maybe you might be as interesting as Ayanokouji-kun"
Ayanokouji? there's that name again, I wonder if she knows him.
"Ayanokouji, you say?"
"Yes, you could say that he's a masterpiece"
Masterpiece? what does she mean by that?
"It's nothing although I hope you do entertain me a bit."
"Are you trying to challenge me is what you're trying to say?"
"Maybe, I mean I arrived in this school for only a few months and already I met so many interesting rivals. I wouldn't mind putting you on my list as well" she said as I finally looked at her and she was wearing that smug smile. Seriously why is this giving me every villain vibe imaginable just by seeing that smile?
"I mean you're not the type that plays video games so why challenge me?"
"I want to test you in a different way if you are capable"
Ohh great Nagumo is already a pain in my bottom and now I have a loli that reminded me of one of those MMO games with a loli class in it. I don't know why I play those games but at least they're MMO's.
"Well, I'll be on my way, see you later" I said as I waved goodbye
"Same to you Nanami-senpai"

Speranza
Ayanokouji POV
It's been 3 days now and it seems that Class S are relaxing on their own as of now. But unfortunately for me I have to be on high alert since whoever this Mastermind is, he's from the White Room and he could be lurking anywhere.
"You look lonely today" a girl's voice said as she walked toward me, and it was Horikita.
"Ohh hey Horikita, it's been a while"
"Like I care about your presence. It seems that Class D came second to your class. I'll give it you; it is impressive but if I hadn't retired, I would've somehow gotten ahead of you." Man, she really is delusional sometimes, but I'll ignore that.
"You know we only got more points in that exam because we took more spots on the island, your class managed to get the names of the leaders correctly except of course our class. Which doesn't mean that you managed to beat us or anything"
"Tch! talk all you want; I've got some better things to do" she said as she walked off.
"Attention all students this is an important announcement. The special exam is starting soon. The school has sent emails to your smartphones. Please be advised to check your phones, as all of the information will be there"
Special exam? well, I was anticipating something else but given the nature of this school. I think special exams like this could be more frequent than expected. I checked my phone and according to the email we are all assigned to a designated room at our assigned time and those who are late for more than 10 minutes may be penalized and we should gather at Room 205 by 18:20 today.
"Whaatt!! no way!!" I heard a voice and I headed towards the one who shouted, and it was Sora.
"What's wrong Sora-san?" Kirigaya asked
"N-nii...Nii is in a different room with me..."
"Hey let me see" Kirigaya looked at their phones as I too checked out their phones as well. Both Sora and Shiro's rooms are different as well as the time. For Sora, it's Room 202 at 19:00 while Shiro's time and place is 18:50 at Room 206.
"Are you guys alright?" He asked
"Well...uughh...y-you s-see..."he was stuttering while holding Shiro's hand tightly. He's usually pretty calm but seeing him like this is new to me.
"...Nii and I have never been separated before" she said with lowly tone
Almost everyone: huh?
"What do you mean by never been separated before?" Katagiri asked
"Yeah, what's the problem there?" Kei joins in
"W-we literally can't be separated" Sora said
"Why not?" Yuuki asked
"It's complicated...." Sora said
I don't know what happens if they're separated but I assume this means bad news.
"C'mon it's not that bad, you make it sound like it's the end of the world or something" Kei jokingly said
"Not funny Kei-kun" Kaguya said as she approached Shiro
"Hey it's okay. I know it must be tough, but it wouldn't hurt to at least work on your own right?
Both Sora and Shiro are still trembling. May be there is an adequate reason why they can't be separated but they couldn't tell it.
"Hey, listen, whatever happens you'll be fine besides you and I are on the same room together" Yuuki said as she showed her phone.
"Hey Sora-san, you and I are on the same room. Don't worry so much" Kei said
"That's not the problem, you see, Shiro and I had never been separated before since we were kids" Almost everyone in Class S was shocked by what Sora said
"Is that true?" Yuuki said while covering her mouth in shock
"Yeah, so you could say Shiro, and I can't stand being apart for a second or two." Sora said with a sad tone.
"So, you've never been apart for that long?" Tatsuya asked
"Yes" siblings said in unison
"C'mon don't think of this as a bad thing, think of it as an opportunity to learn how to be independent" Kei said
"Exactly, you can't succeed in this world if you rely on others too much" Katagiri said
"They're right, this is your chance to practice being apart and working as your own unit" Kaguya said
"Besides I saw you two together all the time, I think guys should start practicing working by yourselves" she added
Although they were hesitant. Their words did motivate them a bit.
"Alright, we can do this besides we're Blank and Blank doesn't lose to anyone, no not just Blank together but as myself Sora, I won't lose to anyone."
"That's good to hear, and you Shiro-san?" Kei asked Shiro
"If nii says it's fine then I'll do it as well"
"Because Blank never loses and so will I" she said
"That's great anyways we should all head into our respective rooms now." Kei said as everyone nodded. +
While I was walking, Katagiri, Kaguya, and Akise are also with me.
"You guys have the same destination?" Akise said
"Looks like it?" Kaguya said with a smile
"Looks like you and I are teaming up huh?" Katagiri said with a smile
"I guess so"
