Experiment / I'm the Strongest

Even though Yagami looks harmless, Aoyama is very concerned about him.

"Okay, I'll keep watch for you all night, are you happy?"

"As a reward, let me pat your head."

Sitting in the chair, Aoyama raised his hand and joked, "It's been more than half a month since I last touched Nanase's head."

He missed the feel of that pale blonde hair.

"This senior really likes to pat girls' heads."

Just when Aoyama thought Nanase would refuse his unreasonable request, Nanase squatted down and placed her cute little head under his raised hand.

And so, his hand came down.

Chapter 352 Experiment

I just planned a relaxing vacation, how did it turn out like this?

Morishita, oh Morishita, I've really fallen for your trick.

In the cool sea breeze, the sunlight, now brighter, filters through the leaves and falls on the Aoyama where people are doing their morning exercises.

He slowly exhaled, thinking with a hint of helplessness.

"Senior, you're awake so early?"

As Nanase yawned and stepped out of the tent, she looked at Nanase with some surprise, whose forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat, clearly Aoyama that he had just finished exercising.

It's only a little past six o'clock now, so if that's the case, Aoyama must have woken up around five.

Last night, she had only been touched on the head by Aoyama for less than a minute when Amasawa Ichika pulled her to the tent to say it was time to sleep, so she went to bed relatively early.

"There's no such thing as waking up early, because I didn't sleep at all." Wiping the sweat from his brow with his sleeve, Aoyama returned to his idle state, waiting for Sudo and Shibata to come and hand over the shift.

Like him were Kito Hayato and Himeno Yuki, among others.

"That's really impressive, senior."

Nanase wanted to say a few words of concern, but seeing Aoyama's energetic appearance, she swallowed her words.

Aoyama didn't look like someone who hadn't slept all night; he even had the energy to exercise just now.

"See you tonight, Nanase."

Seeing Shibata and Sudo appear in the distance, Aoyama said goodbye to his cute junior who was wearing a smile.

Under the watchful eye of someone in the boys' tent, he turned and left.

A little after 5:30, as expected, news came from Sakayanagi that everything was going smoothly.

Using the thermal imaging function of the Multifunctional Glasses, he could be 100% certain that none of the seven first-grade students had run away last night.

Why didn't you listen to my instructions?

While cooking breakfast, under Sudo's watchful eye, Yagami summoned Amasawa Ichika to his tent through Donoue and quickly learned that Amasawa Ichika hadn't left at all the night before.

With Amasawa Ichika's abilities, he didn't believe that Amasawa Ichika couldn't even sneak away.

"I hadn't even taken two steps out of the tent when my senior caught me," Amasawa Ichika replied confidently.

After thinking about it for a long time last night, she finally decided to help Yagami, but she only planned to knock out a few people and not seriously injure two of them as he had said.

However, she died before she could even leave the camp. She was captured by Aoyama, and then a Facebreaker and brought her back.

Yagami was furious. "How can you be so bad? And if you can't do it the first time, there's always a second time!"

"He was caught a second time."

"And the third time?"

"My senior said things shouldn't happen more than three times, so I didn't continue." Amasawa Ichika nodded matter-of-factly.

She had tried her best, but unfortunately, the senior was too perverted; he stared at her tent all night.

"Asshole."

Yagami clenched his fists, it was unclear whether he was cursing Amasawa Ichika or the departing Aoyama.

If Aoyama had only assigned one person to follow him, he would have lured that person to a secluded place to carry out his Sudo. However, Aoyama also assigned an extra person, Sudo, to follow him within his sight.

The exam tablet has a camera function; it would be troublesome if he were filmed assaulting a student.

"Well done, second-year uncrowned king."

At the Central Class 2-A base on the Uninhabited Island, Aoyama had just come out of the shower room when Morishita brought him a hot breakfast.

It's already the tenth day of the exam. After several days of hard work, he has brought his group into the top 20 or 30. With only four days left, as long as one member shows up in the designated area and checks in, they can ensure that the group doesn't fall into the bottom 10.

Therefore, apart from the only male member, Ishida, who was responsible for clocking in, the other members of the group were quite idle.

"You really used me as a pawn, but this is trouble I caused."

Aoyama placed his palm vertically on Morishita's head and let it fall naturally. He then delivered a chop to the hand of the instigator, who was holding breakfast in both hands and had nowhere to hide, looking completely innocent.

If Morishita hadn't suddenly started causing trouble, he wouldn't have had to stay up all night watching Yagami to prevent him from doing anything reckless.

Compared to Ayanokoji, the obsessive and arrogant Yagami is more dangerous to ordinary students.

"The uncrowned king is bullying a weak woman!" Morishita shouted expressionlessly.

"A king should not concern himself with the opinions of his subjects when making decisions."

With another chop to the neck, Aoyama took the breakfast from Morishita and started eating. After finishing, he forcefully ripped off the electronic watch fixed to his wrist, right under Morishita's gaze.

Then, he placed the watch on Morishita's wrist, making it appear as if it were being worn.

"I'm testing something. Press the button on your watch first."

Aoyama opened the tablet and began using the score to search for his GPS location.

"The watch's GPS location still works even after being forcibly disassembled," Aoyama said, looking at the results. "Keep the watch monitoring your pulse and heart rate, and see if any staff members come looking for you."

He wanted to make sure that forcibly dismantling the GPS watch would be noticed by the school.

"Just wear it like this for now. If no one asks about it after three hours, then smash the watch until it stops working."

"After you break it, notify Katsuragi and have him search for and record Ayanokoji's location every half hour."

He took the tracksuit jacket and tore it apart, Aoyama used a strip of cloth to tie the watch to Morishita's wrist.

If Yagami or Amasawa Ichika has a communication channel with Ayanokoji, then Ayanokoji will know that he stayed up all night. So when he catches up on his sleep later, that will be the perfect time for Ayanokoji to cause trouble.

It's uncertain Ayanokoji will cause trouble, but if they don't get into the top three, all the points Katsuragi's team has accumulated will be useless.

"Are you worried that Ayanokoji will cause trouble?" Morishita raised his hand with some curiosity and looked at his wrist, which was wrapped in a cloth.

"To prevent problems before they arise, and also to put some pressure on him."

Even though they didn't score any points yesterday, Katsuragi's group only dropped to third place on the leaderboard, undoubtedly putting them in Ayanokoji's sights.

The continuous deduction of points can only mean that someone in Katsuragi's group has been using GPS to locate one or more students.

"We'll talk about the rest after I wake up."

"Would you like me to serve you in bed, Your Majesty?" Morishita bowed with his hands clasped, just like a favored concubine in a period drama.

"No, Masumi it would be fine if Empress Masumi returned from fishing."

Waving goodbye to Morishita's antics, Aoyama went into his tent under the shade of the trees to rest.

On the other side, in a corner of Uninhabited Island.

Ayanokoji did know what Aoyama had done last night, but the person who informed him was neither Yagami nor Amasawa Ichika.

"Chairman Tsukishiro asked me to remind you that there's not much time left before the exams end. If you want to stay at this school, these next few days are your last chance."

Hidden in the shade of the trees, Sima Kedian spoke solemnly to Ayanokoji in sunlight.

This large-scale Uninhabited Island Exam is Tsukishiro's last dance in Kouiku; soon, Sakayanagi Narimori will make a triumphant return.

"I can also provide assistance if necessary. I was one of the combat instructors in Yagami's class."

He tossed a walkie-talkie to Ayanokoji, and Sima Kedian, the homeroom teacher of Class 1-D, disappeared into the shadows.

Chapter 353 I am the strongest

All I want is a carefree school life, why is that so difficult?

Looking up at the scorching sun, Ayanokoji closed her eyes for a long time before opening them again and walking into the shade of the tree where Sima Kedian had just been.

From the urging before the Uninhabited Island Exam, he guessed that Tsukishiro might not be able to stay at Kouiku and would be expelled from the school.

Sima Kedian's performance just now undoubtedly confirms this.

Ultimately, I can't slack off and wait for the trouble to leave on its own.

Opening her tablet, Ayanokoji once again noted down the current scores of each group on the leaderboard.

According to the intelligence provided by Sima Kedian, Aoyama is currently sleeping at the Base in the center of the Uninhabited Island, while Yagami has also effectively drawn fire, diverting most of the second-year students' forces.

Once it gets dark today, Aoyama will likely do what he did last night: restrict Yagami's movements tonight.

Tomorrow morning might be a good time to launch an attack.

After locating a student, Ayanokoji put away his tablet, having already made his plans.

He didn't want to act so rashly, but Tsukishiro had given a strict order, and if he didn't take any action, he wouldn't be able to give an explanation.

"May the evil artifacts left behind by the monstrous beings perish under Morishita's great power!"

Three hours later, after confirming that the staff had not found any evidence of the watch being changed, Morishita, following Aoyama's instructions, picked up a stone, jumped up, and smashed the watch to pieces.

The electronic watch, shattered into countless pieces with its battery ejected, was clearly no longer functional.

"Has she always been like this?" Kamuro asked Shiraishi, somewhat speechless, after witnessing Morishita destroy the watch.

"... I think so."

With a helpless smile, Shiraishi shifted his gaze from the smug Morishita to a certain boy's tent.

Judging from Morishita's behavior, it's easy to tell that the man who was fast asleep was about to cause trouble.

The target is unknown: either the arrogant Yagami or the recently disappeared Ayanokoji.

"I'm going back to fishing. Shiraishi, are you coming or not?" After spending a while in the Aoyama tent, Kamuro, who had been sitting there for some time, also got bored and decided to continue fishing to pass the time.

"I'm planning to take a nap later, thank you for the invitation Kamuro."

Having other plans, Shiraishi shook his head and declined Kamuro's invitation.

"Then I'll go. I'll leave the housekeeping to you." Morishita immediately jumped up Morishita followed Kamuro away, not even glancing at the so-called evil artifact that he had just been concerned about.

Before long, the two figures disappeared from Shiraishi's sight.

"Tsubaki Sakurako Sakura, please let me know if anyone is coming back."

Shiraishi called out to Tsubaki Sakurako, who was sitting alone in front of the tent, and after receiving a positive reply, he went into the tent where Aoyama was.

Gazing at that beautiful face even in sleep, she slowly sat down, waiting for Aoyama to wake up.

Half an hour later, Aoyama opened his eyes.

Because it wasn't the familiar scent of Kamuro, he had been awake the moment Shiraishi entered.

After vaguely sensing that Shiraishi was watching him, he couldn't fall asleep.

"What time is it now, Shiraishi?" Without his digital watch, Aoyama couldn't immediately tell the time.

After answering the question at 11:10, Shiraishi continued, "The current situation doesn't require you, Shiki, to take any risks. As far as I know, Acting Chairman Tsukishiro isn't exactly a rule-abiding person."

Destroying a GPS watch is clearly not a good thing for Aoyama. If he gets caught in the act or if evidence is left behind, he will likely be expelled from school.

With a large number of personal points at his disposal, Aoyama, who basically controls the entire second year, has no need to take this risk.

"The tree may wish to be still, but the wind will not cease; I merely struck first to gain the upper hand." Aoyama reached out and rubbed the Shiraishi, and from the Shiraishi's expression, she could tell that it cared about her.

"The expenses for this trip to the Uninhabited Island far exceeded the school's original budget, and Tsukishiro, who forced the approval afterward, will definitely be held accountable."

"I reckon Tsukishiro will be packing his bags and leaving as soon as the cruise ship docks."
