We're Finally Back / I Can't Believe Tachibana-senpai Is That Kind of Person!

After seven days of Uninhabited Island Exam, three days of rest on the ship, and four days of testing for VIP.

Shuichi Kanda finally set foot on Tokyo soil again. Unlike the deck on the ship where he occasionally felt the swaying, this was real land.

Although small earthquakes occur frequently, the feeling of having your feet firmly on the ground is infinitely better than being on a ship.

"A two-week vacation on Southern Island... you really can only believe half of what the school says," Shuichi Kanda said with some emotion as he sat on the bus.

"But in terms of the result, it's actually pretty good."

This time, the person sitting next to him was no longer Kushida Kikyo, but Akito Miyake.

That's right. My monthly allowance, which was originally 14,000 points, will skyrocket to over 50,000 points starting next month.

Furthermore, the class received a no-expulsion voucher, which gave many students in the class a lot more confidence.

Although the Class Points are not as high as other classes, the gap of nearly 1,000 points with Class A at the beginning of the semester still gives people a glimmer of hope.

After disembarking, the students were immediately put on buses and taken all the way back to school. After passing through the familiar marble gates, the buses drove into the school, passing the teaching buildings and stopping directly in front of the dormitory building for first-year students.

Since all the first-year students live in the same building, and considering that the students were carrying luggage and had gotten up early today, the school kindly sent them directly back to their dormitories.

Next, students disembarked in order of class. After the homeroom teacher counted the number of students and checked their luggage, they were free to move around.

After getting off the bus, the four classes were in completely different states. The students in Class A, who were still in Class A for the time being, didn't want to stay there for another second. They wanted to quickly pack their things and go to Sakayanagi to complain. They believed that Sakayanagi would definitely have a solution!

Next up is Class B. Ichinose's class has a great atmosphere because starting next month, they will be a genuine Class A. They earned over two hundred Class Points on the Uninhabited Island, which propelled them to Class A.

I was initially worried that the gap wasn't big enough, but then some idiot in Class A failed to introduce himself during the VIP Exam, causing Class A to lose another fifty points, widening the gap between the two classes to over one hundred points.

In addition, the class also gained 10 million Private Points. If we add the Private Points they had previously accumulated with Ichinose, they will probably be able to gather 20 million Private Points very soon.

Although they didn't have as many Private Points as Class D, they weren't jealous at all, since their class didn't have a Shuichi Kanda.

Next up is Ryuen's Class C. Although Ryuen lost 20 million Private Points during the VIP Exam due to his excessive greed, he also managed to figure out Shuichi Kanda's behavior patterns a little.

The next step is to avoid Shuichi Kanda's strengths and seize his weaknesses for a fatal blow. But the first thing to do is to take Shuichi Kanda out of the game.

If the other party remains on the sidelines, even Ryuen won't be able to target them. Only by drawing them into the game will there be an opportunity to deal with them.

Moreover, although Ryuen did not gain any benefits from the VIP Exam, he still reaped considerable Ryuen while on the Uninhabited Island.

Not only do they receive 800,000 Private Points from Class A every month, but they also gain over 100 Class Points. While not as many as Class D, their gains might even surpass those of Class B.

Then came Class D, and everyone was incredibly excited.

Before setting off, we were considered the worst class, someone anyone could easily step on. But when we came back, the gap between us and the other classes wasn't that big anymore.

Not only did he raise the Class Points to over 500, he also obtained a "get out of jail free" voucher consisting of 20 million Private Points.

Even disregarding the 50 million Private Points that Shuichi Kanda obtained, it was still a huge haul. Therefore, every single student in the class was extremely excited.

Moreover, seeing those arrogant Class A students looking so dejected was even more refreshing than drinking an ice-cold cola on a hot summer day.

I wonder what Sakayanagi will do when faced with Class A like this; maybe he won't take it to heart.

Class D is about to be entangled with Ryuen, which gives Sakayanagi a good opportunity. Given the right moment, Sakayanagi should be able to lead his classmates back to Class A.

Of course, the biggest winner of this trip was Shuichi Kanda. He not only made a big splash in his class twice, but also amassed a whopping 50 million Private Points. From now on, he is the richest student in the first year.

With so many points, Shuichi Kanda could finally relax and wait.

As for what we're waiting for, is that even a question?

Of course, we'll wait for the system to work its magic again!

Everyone got off the bus, and after Chabashira-sensei checked the number of people, they dispersed on the spot. Chabashira-sensei went back to the bus to check the luggage racks again before leaving.

Although the students got off the bus in order of their classes, there were still quite a few students in the dormitory lobby when Shuichi Kanda and his group arrived, mostly girls, because there was only one elevator in the dormitory.

Because the girls live on the upper floors of this apartment building, which are more than ten stories high, even a physically fit high school student would feel very tired.

For the boys, it was much simpler; they could easily walk up the stairs to their dormitories with their backpacks on.

Shuichi Kanda and the others also chose to take the stairs, but Miyake carried the luggage, Shuichi Kanda didn't have the stamina.

Although I've gained weight, my physical fitness is still not good without exercise.

However, climbing to the fourth floor was no problem at all; it was a piece of cake!

As they passed Miyake's room, Shuichi Kanda took the luggage from Miyake's hands.

"I'm going to the library later, do you want to come?"

"Going straight to studying as soon as I get back? No way! I'm planning to rest for a bit, then report to the Archery Club this afternoon." Sure enough, this guy hasn't been acting quite right these past few days; the first thing he wants to do after coming back is train.

"Okay." Shuichi Kanda nodded. "By the way, in the summer, isn't the Archery Club going to participate in the high school league?"

"The high school league is still a long way off, but there is indeed a major sports tournament to participate in during the summer vacation, and it seems that Sato- senpai is planning to let me play."

"I see. Good luck then."

"The way you're saying that makes it sound like you're not a member of the Archery Club."

"Ghost members aren't considered members!"

Shuichi Kanda was perfectly justified; he simply didn't want to participate in any major competitions with the club, as it would be tiring and wouldn't allow him any freedom of movement.

Back in his room, Shuichi Kanda casually tossed his bag onto the floor, then sprawled onto the soft bed, grabbing the remote control from the bedside table and turning on the air conditioner.

Ah, I'm finally back.

My own bed is still the most comfortable!

Chapter 143 I never expected Senior Tachibana to be this kind of person!

After the room had completely cooled down, Shuichi Kanda had rested enough.

The first thing to do is to put the unopenable Value-Added Bank and the large amount of remaining Memory Candy into the Four-Dimensional Pocket.

I will never take these things out of my pocket unless absolutely necessary.

Next, we took out the props from July: the Gourmet Tablecloth.

However, this thing is also a defective product. To make food directly with it, you must first let it eat a certain food. It's essentially a function of recording first and then copying.

However, even so, there are still limitations, namely, there is a daily limit to the total amount, but the specific amount was not mentioned.

While on the ship, Shuichi Kanda secretly experimented and found that producing enough food for several people each day was not a problem. Currently, it is known that he can produce enough food for ten people, but he has not yet had time to test the upper limit.

Furthermore, the food prepared and the used bowls and chopsticks can be recycled by putting them back on the tablecloth, which is quite convenient.

However, under normal circumstances, Shuichi Kanda is still willing to buy ingredients and cook for himself.

Although he still trusted the system to some extent, and the Gourmet Tablecloth was indeed very convenient, was it really okay to eat food that appeared out of thin air?

However, despite saying that, Shuichi Kanda is not actually opposed to consuming the items produced by the system, hoping to use them in the future.

Moreover, although this thing is not very useful at the moment, Shuichi Kanda is still very satisfied. For example, if the apocalypse were to suddenly come one day, this thing would be a lifesaver.

Speaking of the system, Shuichi Kanda sighed. If only the system's output could be chosen! If he could choose, Shuichi Kanda would really want a Value-Added Bank right now, so his assets could increase tenfold. Then he'd probably be the richest person in the entire school!

At that time, with a large number of points, he could do whatever he wanted!

After packing his things, Shuichi Kanda changed his clothes, then opened the French windows of the balcony, turned off the air conditioner, and headed towards the library.

He wanted to return the books he had borrowed when he left school; he had relied on them to pass the time during his days on the ship when he was bored.

Therefore, he made a point of wearing his school uniform when he left home.

Although it was a thin summer coat, the long length still made me feel very hot, so I moved very slowly.

"What are you doing?"

As Kanda Shuichi passed through a multi-intersection, a voice came from behind him, and it sounded familiar.

After slowly turning around, I realized it was Horikita Manabu, a third-year student and the current Student Council President, and standing next to him was a girl with a bun hairstyle, I think her name was Akane Tachibana.

"Oh, it's President Horikita and his Sekishiko. It's been a long time."

"What Sekishiko? I do have the name Akane Tachibana, and you should call me senpai! Tachibana-senpai!"

Before Horikita Manabu could react, Akane Tachibana, who was standing next to him, immediately corrected Shuichi Kanda's choice of words, and for some reason seemed a little dissatisfied.

Shuichi Kanda seemed momentarily stunned, as if he was seeing his Sekishiko speak so much for the first time. "So this is the kind of person you are?" he thought.

Although I had met her a few times before, whether it was at the club recruitment briefing or the confrontation between Sudo and Class C, she always seemed to be the very quiet type.

It's understandable to be a little stunned when you suddenly hear so much from someone.

"Hey! Are you thinking about something rude? Or are you just delirious from the heat?"

Akane Tachibana stretched out her small hand and waved it in front of Shuichi Kanda's eyes.

"Hey~~~ Moshi Moshi~~~"

"Sigh, stop shaking, I can see you." Shuichi Kanda; what he just experienced wasn't a dream.

It's such a shame that Sekishiko —no, Akane Tachibana —is such a lively character instead of a quiet one.

"Speaking of which, are you two going on a date at school in this hot weather, wearing school uniforms?"

"Who would choose to go on a date at school? Is it you? Ah, poor girl who likes Kanda." Akane Tachibana rubbed her forehead with her right hand, looking like she had a headache.

For some reason, Shuichi Kanda felt that this Akane Tachibana was even more detestable than Horikita Suzune in some ways!

So Shuichi Kanda chose to ignore him and instead looked at Horikita Manabu.

In fact, he knew perfectly well that the two of them couldn't possibly be on a date at school, because not only Horikita Manabu, but even Akane Tachibana was holding something that looked like a notebook.

It was just a little joke, but she immediately refuted Akane Tachibana completely.

Out of respect for his senior, Shuichi Kanda let her go and instead looked at Horikita Manabu.

"That's because we used the summer vacation to renovate the Student Council Office," Akane Tachibana finally answered. "You don't seem like the kind of bright person who accumulated a huge number of points in the first semester."

"I'm so sorry I'm not smart, Tachibana-senpai, but I've already secured my qualification to graduate from Class A, something even Horikita Manabu couldn't do."

"Huh? The student council president is just worried about us ordinary students. If..."

So alike, so incredibly alike!

This kind of mindless defense of Horikita Manabu!

In this respect, Akane Tachibana- senpai, you and Horikita Suzune are exactly the same.

"Tachibana, he said that on purpose." Horikita Manabu interrupted Akane Tachibana, then looked at Shuichi Kanda, "Do you usually tease Suzune like this?"

"That's going too far. I helped her a lot, you know." Shuichi Kanda shrugged, putting on an extremely innocent look.

"Kanda, if you don't have any plans later, I hope you can keep me company."

"Chairman?"

The Sekishiko was surprised that Horikita Manabu had taken the initiative to ask Shuichi Kanda, and Shuichi Kanda raised an eyebrow, deciding to listen to what the other had to say.

"I need to return some books to the library, that's all."

"Okay, then how about you come over later... to the classroom where we met before? It's very close to the library."

The classroom we met before, the one where we confronted Class C, right?

"Hmm, is that the classroom where we confronted Class C that time?"

"That's right."

Although the answer was obvious, Shuichi Kanda asked again, just in case there was a mistake.

"I understand. I'll be there after I return the book."

Although he didn't know why Horikita Manabu wanted to talk to him, Shuichi Kanda didn't mind chatting with him.

According to Chabashira-sensei, the fact that his reckless actions on the Uninhabited Island were approved was largely thanks to the Student Council President.

So I couldn't refuse his invitation as a way of thanking him, especially since I really didn't have anything else to do.

The three met very close to the school gate, so they went to the gate together. Then Shuichi Kanda separated from the other two and headed towards the library, while the other two headed towards the third-year teaching building.

The library was quite deserted during the holiday; even the NPCs I always see in the same spot didn't respawn today.
