If It's a Honey Trap, Please Try Harder!
Amidst the puzzled looks of the others, Shuichi Kanda called Kamuro over.
"What's up? Do you want to see my swimsuit alone? Or are you getting excited seeing all the women in the pool and want me to give you a hand?" Since their relationship progressed, Kamuro has become increasingly outspoken.
His first words made Shuichi Kanda gasp for breath, his face darken, and he almost slipped.
"I have something important to tell you."
Afterwards, Shuichi Kanda led Kamuro Masumi to a relatively secluded place.
"Those guys in our class are planning to peep into the girls' changing room..."
Then, he explained Ike and the others' plan to Kamuro in detail.
After hearing this, Kamuro's face displayed an undisguised expression of disgust, a look of deep revulsion that was even more pronounced than his usual disdain.
The way you look at me makes it seem like you're so righteous. You've probably forgotten how you ended up in my hands...
"Aren't you going to report them?" Kamuro's face showed displeasure. "Or are you suggesting I report them?"
"No, there's no point in reporting them. Your safety is more important."
Kamuro Masumi Shuichi Kanda's words puzzled Kamuro Masumi.
However, Shuichi Kanda leaned down and whispered his plan into Kamuro's Kamuro.
A few minutes later, Shuichi Kanda returned to the corridor he had been in before, but Kamuro did not follow.
"Huh? Where's Kamuro?"
Kushida was somewhat puzzled when he saw Shuichi Kanda.
"It seems she ran into a classmate, so she went to say hello, but she told us not to worry about her."
He casually made up a lie, and no one suspected anything.
After Shuichi Kanda joined them, the group walked together towards the inside of the pool.
After seeing them leave, Kamuro, who had been hiding nearby, immediately came out and headed towards the women's changing room.
Although Kamuro usually acts very aloof, she is actually quite interested in this kind of criminal activity.
No, perhaps she wasn't interested in the crime itself, but rather in the thrill of walking a tightrope, which is why she chose to steal from a supermarket with numerous surveillance cameras.
However, her kleptomania doesn't mean she enjoys being photographed without her consent; these are two different things.
So after Shuichi Kanda told her about it, she immediately felt a surge of irritation.
Back in the women's changing room, it was empty. Anyone who wanted to swim had already left, making it convenient for her to get to work.
Pulling off the bath towel draped over her body, Kamuro Masumi took out the screwdriver that Shuichi Kanda had just handed her, removed the cover from the ventilation duct, and then took out the remote-controlled car inside.
Following Shuichi Kanda's instructions, she then turned off the power, removed the memory card from the remote-controlled car, disassembled the camera, and put it away. Finally, she placed the remote-controlled car in a very conspicuous location.
After finishing all this, she breathed a sigh of relief, took her tools, and left the women's changing room.
On the other side, Shuichi Kanda hadn't walked more than a few steps when they ran into someone they knew.
Saying he knew them wouldn't be quite accurate, because of the three boys he met, Shuichi Kanda only knew Kanzaki Ryuji.
"Hey, isn't that Ichinose? You guys are here today too?"
The guy who came over to say hello was a very sunny-looking fellow, no less so than Hirata. Looking at him, Shuichi Kanda seemed to see a male version of Ichinose Honami.
Behind him were two people: one was the handsome purple-haired guy he had met before, Kanzaki Ryuji, and the other was Shuichi Kanda he did not recognize.
He also sized up the people in Class D, and when he saw Shuichi Kanda, he nodded to indicate that he had greeted him.
Shuichi Kanda nodded in return to show his respect.
"Hey-ho! Isn't that Shibata gang?"
Ichinose seemed to be very familiar with Shibata and the others Ichinose, that makes sense, since they were all students in the same class, it's only natural that they were familiar with each other.
Shuichi Kanda was thinking this way, without reflecting on the fact that he still didn't recognize the faces of all the students in his class.
"Speaking of Horikita, what about him?"
Shuichi Kanda looked at Kiyotaka Ayanokoji. He noticed that Horikita Suzune was no longer in the group. Miyake and Hashikura were also missing; he wondered if Horikita had gone off to be a third wheel.
Well, no matter what, that guy wouldn't be so tactless, would he?
"Um, I don't know."
Is he genuinely unaware or pretending not to know...?
Since the other party had said so, Shuichi Kanda had no choice but to give up and turn his attention to the people in front of him.
Ichinose Honami has a great figure, yet she goes out in her school swimsuit, but Shuichi Kanda doesn't think there's anything wrong with it.
Because her voluptuous body, enveloped in blue school swimsuit water, evokes endless fantasies, it actually makes her seem even more erotic.
As for Kushida, she was wearing a red bikini, which was quite daring and very much in line with her usual lively personality.
Just then, cheers from boys and screams from girls came from not far away.
"What happened?"
Humans are generally creatures who love to join in the fun, and Shuichi Kanda is no exception.
So he followed the crowd's gaze and looked toward the center of the commotion.
At that moment, only a person and a ball could be seen flying into the air. Then, the figure delivered a powerful spike to the volleyball in mid-air.
The volleyball, propelled by immense force, crashed into the opponent's court in an instant.
Clearly, a water volleyball match is taking place in the sports swimming pool.
Shuichi Kanda, but judging from his appearance, the other person did not have the childishness of a first-year student; he should be a second or third-year student.
The person who just smashed the ball was the one being watched. He was tall and slender at first glance, but he had a six-pack and his blond hair would flow noticeably with each vigorous movement. With his incredibly handsome face, he was definitely a beautiful young man.
Her outstanding appearance and exceptional athletic ability made her popular with most girls.
"Damn it, I hate those kinds of guys the most. They have no talent or effort, but they become winners in life just because they're handsome."
Upon seeing the other person attracting Matoba, Ike and Yamauchi immediately launched into a verbal attack.
These two guys are really terrible for jumping to conclusions when they don't even know each other.
"That person is Senior Nagumo from Class 2-A. He's very popular with the girls."
Seemingly noticing the confusion on everyone's faces, Kushida immediately began to explain, but Shuichi Kanda knew she was speaking to him.
"Nagumo..."
Is this guy Nagumo?
"He's the current vice president, and supposedly he'll be the Student Council President next year. He seems to be very intelligent too." Ichinose seemed to know about him as well.
Oh right, Ichinose was the one who was brought into the Student Council by the other party, so it's normal that they would know each other.
"Fancy and overly elaborate"
Shuichi Kanda offered his opinion, which drew a sidelong glance from Ayanokoji.
Why are you looking at me like that?
"I just feel like you're not qualified to say that."
QNDYD Kiyotaka Ayanokoji, if you can't speak properly, just shut up!
Meanwhile, the others continued to watch Nagumo's performance on the field, while Ichinose continued to provide commentary to those around him.
"Rumor has it that he's just as capable as the Student Council President. In fact, last year during the Student Council Student Council President, President Horikita Vice President Nagumo competed for the position. Back then, Vice President Nagumo was still a first-year student."
"Ichinose really knows the Student Council stuff."
Kushida looked at Ichinose Honami with curiosity.
"Since I recently joined the Student Council, I know a bit about these things."
"... You joined the Student Council? I remember it was pretty difficult to join, right? Even Katsuragi and Classmate Sakayanagi from Class A were rejected when school started."
Kushida glanced at Ichinose with a surprised expression, then subtly glanced at Kanda Shuichi Kanda was talking to Ayanokoji in the back.
"Well, how should I put it? This school seems a bit special. If you haven't joined a club yet, you can get in as long as you pass the Student Council interview between April and the end of June, or in October."
However, this year's situation is a bit special. Horikita, the Student Council President, seems quite disappointed with this year's first-year students. It seems like I'm the only one who joined. But actually, I only managed to join with Vice President Nagumo's special permission."
Hearing this, Kushida glanced at Shuichi Kanda, who was still arguing with Kiyotaka Ayanokoji, then nodded without saying anything.
Just as the group was chatting and watching the game with little interest, the volleyball, which should have been on the court, flew straight toward the shore, immediately causing a scream from the audience.
"Danger!"
Upon seeing the ball's trajectory, Kushida immediately cried out in alarm, because the ball was flying straight towards Shuichi Kanda's face.
Fortunately, Shuichi Kanda has good dynamic vision. Although his physical abilities are average, dodging a volleyball is not a problem for him.
With just a slight tilt of his head to the side, the volleyball grazed past Shuichi Kanda's hair.
Then, Sudo jumped up and caught the flying volleyball. As expected of a Basketball pro, well done, Sudo.
"Sorry, sorry, that was a mistake. Could you please throw the ball to me?"
Nagumo took two steps toward them and said with a smile.
Mistake?
Haha, what a coincidence that you made that mistake! Why did it fly straight at my head? Do you think I'm an idiot?
"Since it was a mistake, there's nothing we can do about it."
Shuichi Kanda smiled, then reached out and took the volleyball from Sudo, before letting it fall freely.
Then, as the ball landed at his calf, Shuichi Kanda kicked it towards Nagumo's face.
Unfortunately, Nagumo also managed to dodge the volleyball kicked by Shuichi Kanda.
"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, my foot slipped."
But the way he read it in a monotone tone just sounded so fake.
Sure enough, some people immediately became anxious after these words were spoken.
"Hey, you bastard, that last move looked like it was intentional, didn't it?"
The boy who had just been teammates with Nagumo angrily berated Shuichi Kanda.
Then, Shuichi Kanda and then focused his attention back on Nagumo.
"I already said I didn't do it on purpose, Senior Nagumo, don't you believe me?"
"Of course I think Kanda did it on purpose." After a slight silence, Nagumo smiled brightly. "But since it's a misunderstanding caused by volleyball, how about we resolve it with volleyball?"
As he spoke, he took the water volleyball from the classmate over there, tossed it in the air, and gave a provocative look in his eyes.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not in good health. I have a congenital heart condition and can't do strenuous exercise. So I'll have to decline Senior Nagumo's kind offer."
Shuichi Kanda was not fooled by Nagumo's provocations; he knew very well how to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses.
Even though his body has now recovered to a normal level, Shuichi Kanda would never try to be strong in such matters.
"Oh? Kanda, are you scared?"
"Say what you will, I'm not going to joke about my life." Shuichi Kanda still had a lazy expression. "But if you insist on comparing yourself to us first-year students, I do have a proposal."
At this point, a barely perceptible glint flashed in Shuichi Kanda's eyes.
Chapter 160 If it's a honey trap, please intensify the attack!
"A proposal?" Nagumo became interested in Shuichi Kanda's words.
"That's right. Since Senior Nagumo is so eager to play a game of water volleyball with us first-years, how can we refuse?" Shuichi Kanda smiled. "How about this, one of us will send someone to play against Senior Nagumo? What do you think?"
"I'm not willing to play with just any Tom, Dick, or Harry." Nagumo clearly didn't want to waste his energy on these people; the only one he wanted to torment was Shuichi Kanda.
In fact, the two had no grudges against each other. The previous greeting was just that they wanted to see who this guy was who could earn 50 million points in a single exam.
The other person then hit him in the face with a volleyball, which made him quite angry.
"How about this? I'll put up one million Private Points. If Senior Nagumo wins, I'll give Senior Nagumo one million Private Points. Of course, if Senior Nagumo loses, he'll have to pay me one million Private Points too."
Seeing that Nagumo didn't want to play, Shuichi Kanda immediately activated his money power.
Seeing Shuichi Kanda's expression, Nagumo narrowed his eyes and began to observe the group of people on Shuichi Kanda's side.
