Class D: Yang Cheng, You're a Damn Superman!

"See? Even your boyfriend Yang Cheng thinks you girls are making a fuss over nothing."

Hearing Yang Cheng's words, the boys on Yamauchi's side spoke smugly, convinced they had scored a point.

But just as Karuizawa Kei turned to Yang Cheng with disappointment written all over her face, he chuckled and said, "Kei, I think you've misunderstood.

What I meant was that spending points on something like a Simple Toilet would be a complete waste.

If you want a toilet, I can make you something better."

After hearing Yang Cheng's explanation, Karuizawa Kei's expression instantly brightened.

She knew that someone as thoughtful and gentle as Yang Cheng would never embarrass her in public, much less disregard her feelings.

To be honest, during the months they had spent pretending to date, Karuizawa Kei had unwittingly begun falling for him.

Having suffered bullying at school and been left with psychological scars, what did she need most?

That was right-a sense of security!

And during her months with Yang Cheng, Karuizawa Kei had felt completely safe and secure.

It wasn't just when they pretended to be a couple in front of others. Even in private, Yang Cheng often went out of his way to look after her.

Karuizawa Kei had become a little addicted to that feeling of being protected and cared for.

Previously, when they were alone, she had addressed him with the polite honorific "classmate."

But now, whether they were in front of others or alone, she called him Yang Cheng with effortless intimacy.

Karuizawa Kei kept reminding herself that her relationship with Yang Cheng was only pretend.

Yet whenever Yang Cheng took care of her, another voice in her head kept telling her:

Yang Cheng doesn't have a girlfriend anyway, and he already said he and Horikita were just ordinary classmates.

In that case, there shouldn't be anything wrong with becoming his real girlfriend, should there?

"Yang Cheng, how are you going to get the girls a better Simple Toilet without using exam points?"

Faced with doubts from Yamauchi and the others, Yang Cheng turned to Hirata beside him. "It's simple. Just get me a blade. There are so many trees on this island. Why not make one ourselves?

Don't spend points on tents either. We can just use the trees on the island to build Wooden Houses."

Everyone in Class D: (−＿−;)

"Yang Cheng, please stop joking. Even if you really are that good with your hands, building Wooden Houses from the trees on this island is far too unrealistic..."

Even Hirata, who was always accommodating, thought Yang Cheng's suggestion was absurd.

No, it wasn't just Hirata and the others. Even Kushida Kikyo and Suzune, who had some idea of Yang Cheng's abilities, thought he was getting a little too confident.

Ayanokoji, on the other hand, continued watching Yang Cheng expressionlessly, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Based on what he knew of Yang Cheng, he really didn't think he was someone who only talked big like Yamauchi and the others.

"We won't know whether I can do it unless I try, right?

A long blade shouldn't cost many points, should it? Besides, this is an Uninhabited Island. We can't rule out the possibility of wild animals.

A long blade could protect us and help us cut firewood. No matter how you look at it, it wouldn't be a waste, right?"

In the end, Yang Cheng's argument persuaded everyone in Class D.

A major reason was that Karuizawa Kei had spoken up for him. The last midterm exam had considerably boosted her standing within Class D.

Since they were on an Uninhabited Island, the school had indeed prepared some weapons the students could exchange points for to defend themselves.

After obtaining the long blade, Hirata and the others also took Yang Cheng's advice and held off on exchanging points for tents and other necessities.

They didn't believe Yang Cheng could build a Wooden House with a single long blade, but what if he somehow pulled it off?

The moment the long blade settled into his hand, a familiar feeling welled up within him.

Although it was only an ordinary long blade made using modern manufacturing methods and couldn't compare to the famous swords of the One Piece World, it was more than adequate for these circumstances.

Blade in hand, Yang Cheng approached a suitable large tree and assumed a ready stance, gripping the hilt with both hands.

At that moment, everyone in Class D was astonished to discover that Yang Cheng's bearing had become completely different.

A cold gleam flashed, and a tree so thick it would take two people with their arms outstretched to encircle it was severed in a single slash!

Everyone in Class D: (￣◇￣)

As the tree crashed to the ground, every Class D student who witnessed it stood gaping in astonishment.

"He actually cut through a tree that thick in one strike!"

"I'm not fucking dreaming, am I...?"

"Are we shooting a movie? Or is Yang Cheng not actually human?"

"..."

The moment the tree came crashing down, everyone in Class D was stunned.

Even Ayanokoji's usually expressionless face betrayed a flicker of emotion.

He had already suspected there was more to Yang Cheng than met the eye, but he had never imagined just how extraordinary he was.

Even he, who had come out of a place like the "White Room," couldn't come anywhere close to doing what Yang Cheng had just done.

Such absurd physical prowess and skill went beyond the very concept of being "human."

While everyone in Class D was still reeling in shock, Yang Cheng was already swinging his blade again. In moments, he stripped the fallen tree of its branches and leaves, then hollowed out the trunk.

In just a few short minutes, a specially crafted Simple Toilet had materialized before everyone's eyes.

After finishing, Yang Cheng turned around, only to find everyone in Class D staring at him with their mouths hanging open.

Realizing that he might have overdone it, Yang Cheng offered an awkward explanation. "Actually, my grandfather is an excellent carpenter, so I learned a little from him..."

Everyone in Class D: (･_･;

Wait, what the fuck does this have to do with carpentry?

The point is that you cut down a tree in one slash! And what the hell was that dazzling swordsmanship?

"Uh, besides

carpentry, I also know a little Kendo."

"Yang Cheng, you're amazing!"

While the rest of Class D was still speechless, Karuizawa Kei, Yang Cheng's "official girlfriend," had already thrown herself at him, her face alight with excitement and joy.

She didn't know why Yang Cheng was so incredible, but this incredible boy was her boyfriend. Could anything make her prouder?

Besides, if Yang Cheng was this strong, who would ever dare bully her again?

At first, everyone in Class D was dumbfounded by the strength Yang Cheng had displayed, but their shock soon turned to delight.

If Yang Cheng was this badass, his earlier proposal to build Wooden Houses was entirely feasible.

Without having to spend points on supplies, Class D had practically won this interclass competition before it even began.
