Just as Ayanokoji Kiyotaka was about to reveal the most important secret he had kept until now, Fang Li interrupted him.
No.
Rather, it was Fang Li's actions in the very next second that cut off Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's next words.
Fang Li suddenly raised his head. At some point, he had picked up a stone and hurled it with all his strength.
"Whoosh...!"
The stone tore through the air like a bullet and struck heavily into a corner of the forest.
"Smack!"
A crisp sound immediately came from that corner.
"Ow...!"
A cry of pain rang out from there as well.
"—!"
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka instantly shut his mouth and understood the situation.
The situation was simple.
Someone was hiding here.
Hiding near Class D's camp.
And whoever would do something like that naturally could not be from Class D.

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka got out of the hammock.
Almost at the same time, a shadow appeared in the corner of the forest where the stone had struck, hurriedly preparing to flee.
But how could he possibly get away now that he wanted to run?
By the time Ayanokoji Kiyotaka got out of the hammock, Fang Li had already vanished from the tree.
"Rustle...!"
Amid the swaying of the canopy, Fang Li dropped from a tree directly in front of the fleeing shadow, appearing before him.
"I was wondering who it was. So it's you, you piece of trash."
Along with Fang Li's bored voice, the fleeing shadow was shoved back by a hand that appeared before him, landing on the ground.
Only then did Ayanokoji Kiyotaka catch up and see the shadow's true face.
"You're..."
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka spoke in surprise.
"You're Ishizaki from Class C, right?"
That was right.
The newcomer was Ishizaki Daichi of Class
