"Hey, I'll be back in a minute." I said to Ayanokouji as I took off to the bathroom.

What to do? What to do? I don't know everything that's going to happen.

Miyamura: You really changed my thoughts a lot. (telepathically to God)

God: I had to. (telepathically to Miyamura).

Students: So it was true, he didn't know everything.

On my way to and from the bathroom, I kept thinking as to what I can do to overcome this exam. The only thing I can do is sit-by and see if Ayanokouji does something or not, if he doesn't, then I will. No, I can't depend on him. I have to do some things myself.

From now, the pressure on me is real, and later on, even his father is going to come, I'm going to attract attention later on anyway, so there's a chance that he'll know about me. Argh, I had to it. I'll do it after the Island Exam, I'll give that person a last gift.

Ryuen: Who is 'that person' I wonder.

Haruka: Izumi, who is 'that person'?

All eyes were on me.

Miyamura: You'll come to know.

But first, I need to do one thing, and that is, to concentrate my mind on observing things and find loopholes in the rules. Just like him.

Sakayanagi: fufufu it's almost as if he idolizes Ayanokouji-kun.

Ike: Who is 'him'?

Miyamura: Keep watching.

After sometime, we reached the island and departed onto it. We were separated by our classes and Chabashira-sensei was explaining things about the prizes, the penalties, the manual and how you can buy stuff in exchange for points.

After sometime, the leader of the girls', Karuizawa Kei, spoke up, voicing the concerns of the girls.

"Hirata-kun, we should buy a separate portable toilet using 30 points since it would not be much comfortable for the girls to use something like that." she said, pointing at the cardboard toilet.

"No need for that, Karuizawa-san. In this exam, we should focus on saving as many points as possible. If the boys can do it, so can the girls." spoke up the professor.

"Huh? Do you even know the troubles us girls go through?" said Karuizawa.

One by one, the girls started agreeing with Karuizawa and the boys started agreeing with the professor.

Ryuen: kukuku what a bunch of defects.

Sakayanagi: fufufu you spoke the truth.

I decided to lessen the rift in the class.

"Okay, so, can I say something?" I said as I raised my hand.

"You don't need to raise your hand, Miyamura-kun." said Hirata.

Hirata, my man, I'm here to save you, you're such a kind soul, I don't want you to get caught in a brawl between these idiots.

Class 2-D: He called us 'idiots'.

Hirata: Thank you for that, Izumi.

I just nodded.

"So, I'm saying that the professor has a point....." I said.

"Huh? So are you al-" spoke up Karuizawa but I cut her off.

"Hear me out." I said as I put my hand on her mouth. She turned red for some reason.

Kei: Hah! Anybody would turn red if you do something like that out of nowhere!

Most of the girls turned red.

Sato: I wish he would've done it to me.

Matsushita: He's really good at flirting.

"I'm saying that the professor has a point that we need to conserve as many points as possible. But we do not need to do it on the cost of people's health." I said and then, I continued as I looked towards the professor, "Professor, A single portable toilet costs 30 points, the same as the penalty when a person retires. Will you take responsibility when some of these girls retire because either their health conditions went downhill due to the usage of this toilet or they weren't comfortable with it? No, right? Because that would cost way more points than a portable toilet. You can't just ask them to "tough it out" for a whole week. You guys argue about something like this and then wonder why we're called defectives. The main thing right now is to unite as a class and get through this exam."

Ryuen: kukuku if it wasn't for him, your class would've failed the exam before it evenn started.

Class 2-D hung their heads low as they realised what Ryuen said was right but then they spoke up.

Ike: But Horikita-san led us to victory!

Shinohara: Yeah!

Onodera: Don't underestimate our leader!

Ryuen: kukuku is that so?

"W-wow, Miyamura-kun. You're like a leader." spoke up Karuizawa.

"Yeah." agreed Sato.

Huh? What the hell? I had no leanings in this direction. I'll just back off.

"I'm no leader, Karuizawa, Sato. I just pointed out the mistakes so that the class can improve. It's all because I don't have the wish to stay in Class-D forever."

After saying that, I walked back to Ayanokouji and Horikita.

"You say that, but you were a total leader back there." he spoke up.

"Agreed." spoke up Horikita.

"Seriously? Not you two too!" I said.

"Now then, an important question. Who should we appoint as a leader?" asked Hirata.

Horikita is the obvious choice.

"It should be Miyamura-kun." said Sato.

"I agree." said Matsushita.

"Me too." said Karuizawa. Huh? Hirata is still your fake boyfriend! Take his name!

Some students were laughing on hearing my honest thoughts.

"If you guys want me to be the leader, then it's fine. But I, personally, want someone else to be the leader." I said.

"And who would that be?" said Horikita.

"You, of course." I said as I turned to face to face her.

"HUH?!" yelled out some of my classmates.

"Why her?!" they yelled out their concern.

"Well, she's the most obvious choice. She can stay calm in situations where most people panic, she's a level-headed person most of the time, she's saved Sudo from expulsion not once but twice which means that she cares about her classmates, she doesn't attract attention in our year so some classes might not even know about her which reduces the chances of them guessing her to be the leader and most of all, I trust her." As soon as I said the last part, Horikita's eyes widened and there was a different light shining in them.

Not everything I said was true but I couldn't really care less about it. I don't really care even if I had to lie completely to them to make Horikita the leader. To make sure to do that on our last day on the island. I still remembered about a rule in the manual.

Class 2-D was glaring at me.

Ryuen: kukuku it looks like your honest thoughts are going to get you in trouble, Izumi.

Miyamura: You talking to me casually is getting me into even more trouble, you know.

Horikita: So were you actually lying?

Miyamura: Not about everything.

"So I guess that you guys understand my reasons." I said.

"Of course, Miyamura-kun. I, too, support your decision." spoke up Hirata. He really is a savior.

After a short discussion, the whole class agreed on this and they decided to make Horikita the leader. Horikita recieved the keycard with her name on it. Horikita was still in disbelief that I spoke up for her.

After that, we decided to move into the forest in search for a base. We stopped somewhere for everybody to take a breather, where we decided that some of us will form groups and go search for a base.

13 people raised their hands including me. 9 of them formed groups of 3 while the remaining 4 of us formed one group.
It was me, Ayanokouji, Sakura and Kouenji.

We moved out and I noticed that Kouenji was picking up his speed, jumping around from tree to tree like a monkey. It was evident that he wanted to lose us and go somewhere. Judging by his narcissistic personality, he's going to go back to the ship. Let's leave him be.

Ike: Huh? You knew that he was going back?!

Miyamura: Yeah.

Shinohara: Then why didn't you stop him?!

Miyamura: He doesn't listen to anybody, does he? Besides, we still won.

Koenji: Well said, Miyamura-boy, well said.

Ayanokouji was beside me, I turned around to check on Sakura who I found gasping for air.

"Are you all right, Sakura?" I said to her.

"Ah, I-I'm fine, Miyamura-kun." she said.

It looks like she's fine though, just a little tired since she wasn't all that athletic and she still volunteered to come. Sakura was mentally stronger than I thought, since she was almost sexually harassed by that store clerk. It was a good thing that I managed to reach her on time and take a photo of the incident to blackmail him to back off.

Everybody: What?!

Chairman Sakayanagi: It looks like we need to tighten the security for the students.

Miyamura: Umm....yeah, that also happened, didn't it.

Horikita: Why didn't I know about this?

Miyamura: What would you have done if you knew about it, anyway? It's not like you could've done anything.

Horikita: Hmph.

Shinohara: Thank god that Miyamura-kun saved her.

Onodera: Yes.

Sakura: Thank you for t-that again, Izumi-kun.

Miyamura: No need to thank me, Airi. I just did what anybody else would've done.

"I'm slowing you down, aren't I?" she said.

"It's fine, don't worry about it. Go at your own pace and don't push yourself too much." spoke up Ayanokouji.

"He's right. You have to last a week here, Sakura. It's fine to take things at your own pace." I said.

"I see." said Sakura as she sat down on a thick tree root which was erupting from the ground.

"Ayanokouji, I want to have a word with you." I said to him.

"What is it?" he said.

"It's a little personal. Come here." I said to him as I led him a little further from Sakura so she can't overhear the conversation.

Ryuen: kukuku this should be interesting.

"So, are you planning to do anything in this special exam?" I said to him.

"What do you mean?" he said. Acting dumb again.

If I had to say, then seeing Chabashira-sensei calling me another 'freak' meant that she was referring Ayanokouji as the first one, meaning that she knows about him and must've threatened him. I'm guessing that she must be knowing about his circumstances, so she must've threatened him to get him expelled if his father came for him. No, there's a higher chance that she did this after his father came for him, thereby, making a deal with him that she'll protect him from expulsion in exchange for his contribution towards the class. But there's also a huge possibility that she lied to him. Well, let's just see.

Everybody: What?!

Chabashira-sensei: How does he know about it?!

Mashima-sensei: It looks like we need to have a talk once we get back, Chabashira-sensei.

Hoshinomiya-sensei: Sae-chan, it's not good to threaten your students, you know~.

"I'm talking about the deal you made with Chabashira-sensei." I said. His composure cracked.

Sakayanagi: fufufu he managed to do it.

"How do you know about that?" he said.

"When the case against Sudo ended, I told her the method that you and Horikita used to save Sudo from expulsion during the exams. She said that "there are not one but two freaks in my class this year". Which meant that she knows about your abilities so it's only natural that she would try and make a deal with you." I spoke my honest thoughts.

"I see. She made a deal with me and told me to contribute to the class in this special exam." he said.

"So can I leave it to you?" I said.

"Well, you already noticed Horikita's fever, right?" he said.

"How did you know?" I asked.

"You're....thinking of doing the same thing on our last day, right?"

"I knew it. You're no joke. Yeah, that's what I was thinking."

"You're no joke either. You also noticed the cave as the ideal base, correct? Which is why you took us in it's direction?"

Ike: Huh? Why would the cave be the ideal base?

Horikita explained to them as I asked her to do it. They were shocked to see that Ayanokouji noticed so much.

Katsuragi: We managed to take it before them, luckily.

"Correct. I've also come up with someone else to bring in."

Kushida: That scene's coming closer and closer.

Ryuen: kukuku now this should be interesting.

Ike: Who?

"Who?"

"I'll tell you once I bring her in. She'll make a good courier."

"Very well." he said.

"This time, leave it to me. I have something in mind, though I'll need your help in a few things."

"Got it."

He must be thinking as to how useful of a tool I am to him. Well, he's welcome to think about me in any way he wants, I only want to help him.

Ayanokouji: He really did know me and despite that, he still wants to help me.

Ichinose: What? Ayanokouji-kun thought of Izumi as his tool? But wait, Izumi still wants to help out Ayanokouji-kun, so I should let him.

Everybody: So pure!

"Let's move. Sakura's good for now." I said as I moved towards her.

"Ready to move, Sakura?"

"Yes, Miyamura-kun." she said.

We started moving once again and we arrived near the cave. We noticed someone walking out. Ayanokouji immediately covered Sakura's mouth and pulled her down while he himself sat down behind a tree and hid his presence while I did the same behind a different tree.

The girls turned red on seeing Ayanokouji holding onto Sakura in such a way as Sakura also turned red on remembering it.

Katsuragi: It was me.

I noticed Katsuragi of Class-A walk out. He looked around his surroundings and I noticed that he had a keycard in his hand. I couldn't read the name clearly, but it was surely not Katsuragi's since the name was made up of seven letters and not nine.

Sakayanagi: fufufu

I had a better eyesight than most people and it helped out in this case.

After a moment, somebody else walked out, I immediately recognised him since I remember that he was one of the people who gets expelled later on, Totsuka Yahiko.

Katsuragi: You knew he was going to be expelled?

Miyamura: Yeah, I knew that he didn't make it into the second year.

Katsuragi: Why didn't you tell me about it?

Miyamura: Did I have any obligation to?

This earned me glares.

Miyamura: Besides, I didn't even know what caused him to get expelled, I just knew that he was going to get expelled.

Sakayanagi: fufufu

"Ah! We got a good spot, didn't we? Kats-" he spoke up but Katsuragi shushed him.

He started walking towards us as I noticed his presence increasing. He checked behind a pair of bushes and then, turned around and went away. Good thing he didn't keep coming as I was nearer to him than I thought. Thanks to my past, I was able to hide my presence perfectly and so was Ayanokouji.

Everyone: What kind of past life did he live?!

He let go of Sakura's mouth and said, "Sorry about that, Sakura."

"I-It's no issue, Ayanokouji-kun." she said.

We went inside the cave to check if it was occupied. It turned out to be occupied by Class-A.

I spoke up, "Well, the spot's gone."

"Yeah." he said.

"But we got to know the leader's identity in the end, so, all's good."

"Who would that be?" he asked, testing me.

"Totsuka Yahiko." I said.

Shinohara: Huh? But wasn't Katsuragi-san holding the keycard?

"How'd you come to that conclusion?" he asked, wanting to know my theory.

"Well, I would've went deep into thinking to come to the same conclusion but luckily, my eyesight is better than most people so I saw that there were seven letters on the keycard that Katsuragi was holding. 'Totsuka' contains seven letters while 'Katsuragi' contains nine letters and since it was only those two here, it was evident that he is the leader. Besides, Katsuragi isn't some idiot who will let people see him holding the keycard if he was the leader, he just wanted us to think he was. Talk about a child's strategy." I said.

Everybody: Damn.

Katsuragi: He called it a "child's strategy'!

Hosen: This demon's eyesight can pose issues.

Nanase: I'm glad Ayanokouji-senpai found such a reliable ally.

"Good observation."

"Let's keep this a secret for now."

"I agree." he said.

After that, we went back to where the others were. It turns out that Ike and the others found a spot beside a river. Everybody started moving towards the spot and we reached there. Horikita occupied the spot. We pitched in our tents and the class was divided into teams for collecting various stuff. I took up the job for collecting firewood, along with Ayanokouji, Sakura and Yamauchi.

After we collected some firewood, we ran into Ibuki. Her face seemed to be swollen and she was covered in dirt, especially her nails. I looked beside her and saw that the area was recently dug up and filled in again. I see.

Ryuen: You already saw through her, huh? kukuku

Ibuki: This bastard!

Miyamura: To put it blunty, she didn't do good job.

Kanzaki: He's seriously dangerous.

Mako: Honami-chan found an incredible boyfriend.

Yamauchi and Sakura asked her what happened to her to which she replied that she had a quarrel with Ryueen and he threw her out.

I looked at Ayanokouji as he looked at me. I decided to do the honours.

"Stand up. You should come with us to our base camp. You can't survive alone on this island. Come on, hurry up." I said to her as I held out my hand.

"Are you out of your mind? I'm in a different class than yours and this is a competition between different classes." she said.

"True enough, but I'm not so inhuman to let someone in this state, be as they are. I want to help people when I feel that they need it. So hurry up and follow us." I said. Yamauchi and Sakura agreed with me and so did Ayanokouji.

Everybody: He's so caring!

To be honest, I couldn't care less about saving her or helping her out. She was needed in my plan for our class's victory.

Everybody: I take back what I said.

Sakayanagi: fufufu so you even made use of someone outside of your class in your class's victory.

Ike: Wait, wasn't Horikita-san the one who led to victory?

Miyamura: Yeah, it was her. I was just following orders, you know.

Class 2-D was saying things like 'Yeah' and 'It looks like it'.

Ryuen: kukuku he plays them like a fiddle.

She finally gave in and followed us to our base camp. We explained the situation to Hirata and the others. They had a talk relating to her and agreed to let her stay. I decided to move to the next part of my plan.

I called out the one I wanted in my plan, to a place secluded of the others.

"Yo, Kushida." I said as she approached me.

"Hello, Miyamura-kun." she said.

Ike: Huh? Kushida-chan?

Kushida: It's here!

"I need your help with something."

"What can I help you with?"

"I want you to reveal your true face to Ibuki Mio on our last day." I said with a smile on my face.

Shinohara: What are you talking about?

"My true face? What could you mean
by that, Miyamura-kun?" she asked.

Onodera: He's being delusional.

Ryuen: Oh, is he, now? kukuku.

I could see that it was troubling for her to keep up the act. I want to toy with her more but winning this is more important, so wasting my time on this wouldn't do it any good.

Kushida: He was thinking of toying with me?!

Ike came and grabbed my collar.

Ike: Oi Miyamura! What do you mean by 'toying with her'?!

Shinohara: Yeah!

I kept quiet.

Kei, Ryuen and Sakayanagi were watching with great interest.

Ichinose was somewhat shocked.

"Ah! I'm saying that you drop the good girl act! I'm talking about your other self, the self which tore apart your whole class back in your last year of junior high." I said as I stopped smiling and gave her an intimidated look.

Everybody: What?!

"How.....do you know about that? Ayanokouji-kun?" she said as she finally revealed her true face to me.

Ike: Oi! Oi! What is going on here?!

Sudo: Is that.....really Kushida?

Shinohara: Why am I getting chills just looking at her?

Matsushita: Kushida's bad news.

Kei: Kiyotaka knows about this?!

Ryuen: kukuku

Sakayanagi: fufufu I always thought that this was the case.

I walked up to Ichinose and held her hand as I saw that she was a little scared. She calmed down.

"Are you joking? Does he even know about the junior high incident? No, right? Besides, what is it with you and Horikita assuming that Ayanokouji tells me everything? You two are really similar in that manner, you know." I said as I smirked.

"Don't put me in the same bag as her!" she said with a dash of anger in her voice.

Onodera: What is going on here?

Miyamura: Now now, don't jump to conclusions. Just watch the video.

"Now now, calm down. I'm not lying. Truth be told, Ayanokouji wouldn't think of me as anything other than a tool." I said as I sat down on a thick root that had erupted from the ground.

Ayanokouji looked at me as I looked at him. I held one of my ears and mouthed 'sorry'.

"How did you get your hands on that information?" she looked at- no, it was more like she was glaring at me, like Horikita.

Horikita stabbed me.

Miyamura: Ouch!

Horikita: Don't you dare compare me again with Kushida-san.

"Let's just say, Ayanokouji wasn't the only one who overheard you when you were bitching about Horikita to die. Of course, I only knew about the incident that had taken place but I had to be sure whether you had changed or not, so that's why I followed up on you, to find out if you ever let your guard down." I said.

Sudo: She was bitching about Horikita to die?!

Miyamura: Calm down, that's all in the past.

"What?! But I sensed no one else there!" she said, wearing a shocking expression.

Well, that's understandable. After all, it was a lie. I already knew about it from way before. But I can't tell her about that.

Kushida: So he already knew it from way before.

"How do I say this? I'm just really good at hiding my presence!" I said.

This is a fact though.

She went quiet for a minute and then, spoke up,"I see. And? Why don't you expose me?" She put emphasis on the word 'expose'.

Right now, everybody was speechless on seeing Kushida's other self.

"Ah, I don't want to do that. Well, I'd prefer not to, atleast. I let you build up your status in Class-D so you would be useful to me." I said the truth. I was, kind of, enjoying this.

Ike: He was enjoying that.

Shinohara: He 'let' her become popular.

Matsushita: He's owning her out there.

"So you're just looking to use me like your pawn?!" she almost yelled.

'Pawns are useful, unlike you.' I wanted to say this so much but she was useful.

Ayanokouji let out a little laugh. Not everyone heard it except me and Kei. I had a surprised expression and so did she as we looked towards each other.

"Hey now, don't form your own conclusions." I said.

"Huh? What are you after, then? My body?"

"That's a good idea."

Shinohara: Huh?

"Wha-"

Why not just say it?

"Spread your legs." I said as I closed stood up and closed the distance between us.

Everybody: What?!

Ryuen: 'Spread your legs', what a classic! kukuku

Hashimoto: Go Aniki Go!

Sakayanagi: fufufu Izumi, you surprise me everyday.

Akito: Izumi, what's going on?

Haruka: I-Izumi, can you please explain?

Miyamura: Do you guys trust me?

Haruka and Akito: W-We do, but-

I cut them off.

Miyamura: Then continue watching.

Kiryuin was laughing.

Ike: Miyamura, that's going too far.

Sudo came up to me and punched me in the gut. God, it couldn't have hurt less.

Sudo: So you really are a bad person, huh!

I just kept quiet.

Ichinose looked at me with a shocking expression.

Miyamura: Continue watching.

"What?!"

"You heard me. Spread your legs. If you don't, I'll expose every truth about you."

Onodera: Disgusting.

Shinohara: I didn't think that the hottest guy in the year would be this way.

Mako: Honami-chan, I feel like you found the wrong guy.

Kei: Kiyotaka did the same thing. Wait a minute, this means....

The 1st year fangirls were shocked on seeing me like that.

Kushida was going to speak up for me but I signalled her to stop.

"Tch" she clicked her tongue as she spread her legs. Hmmm....so she would go that far to hide her other self. Even though I did not have any decisive proof, she still did it to prevent it from spreading, even as rumours, as others might consider it. This will be useful.

"Sigh I'm joking."

Everybody: Huh? What?

Ichinose: Oh thank god.

Akito and Haruka: He didn't do anything. Phew.

"Huh?"

"I was just testing you."

Everybody: Seriously?

"Seriously?"

"I think of you as a friend, you know."

Ichinose: He thinks of her as friend.....

Ike: So you didn't do anything to her.

Miyamura: Nope. That's why I told you guys to keep watching.

Sudo let go of me and returned to his seat without an apology. Well, I didn't expect one from him, anyway.

"Don't joke around."

"I'm not. I'm telling you the truth. Everybody has two sides, Kushida.
There are no exceptions. That's why, I accepted you as you are, as a friend does."

Kushida: He says that but does he really?

Everybody was somewhat shocked as they saw me accept Kushida's other self too.

"Are you kidding me? You're asking me to believe that shit?" she said as she wore a disgusted expression, as if looking down on a cockroach. Ouch.

"Well, yes. Even if you do not want to believe it, it is the truth. If I wanted, I could've told everybody about your other self or the junior high incident. But I did not, because a good friend does not do that." I said.

She went silent. It doesn't look like she's buying it, but truth to be told, I did think of her as a friend, she's still better than those people from my past. Ugh, I don't even want to think of them.

Kiryuin: Izumi, just tell us about your past already.

Miyamura: It will come, senpai. Just wait.

"What do you want from me, then?" she asked me as she crossed her hands and leaned against a tree.

"So you're willing to help me out?"

"I don't have much of a choice, do I?"

"Well, yeah. But I never planned to reveal your information about your past or about you."

Everybody: What?!

Sakayanagi: fufufu

Horikita: So wait, why reveal it to her that you know?

Miyamura: Who knows.

"What?"

"Yeah, this isn't a threat. It's more of a negotiation. You help me out whenever I need it, I'll keep your past a secret."

"You're pretty fucked up in the brain department, huh? What's the proof that I won't betray you?"

Professor: Exactly!

"Huh? Well, I have no proof. How do I say, it's my instinct." I said.

Hosen: This demon....relies on instict?

Like hell it's my instinct. I know that she won't betray me because even if I said that I won't reveal her past, she has no proof that I will stand by I say. Either way, I succeeded in creating and taking the benefit of doubt in her mind. I have the photo of Kushida making Ayanokouji hold her breast, clearly trying to take advantage by threatening him of putting a false rape allegation on him, in case she decides to betray me or my plans, I'll spread the photo with the truth.

Everybody: What?!

Ike: Ayanokouji's touched her breast?!

Ayanokouji: Ah shit. Here we go again.

Kei: She did what to Kiyotaka! Also, he al-already held her breast?!

Ryuen: kukuku so that's what you were trying to do. (laughing)

Mashima-sensei: He's applying psychological warfare like it's nothing.

Chabashira-sensei: Thank god he helped out in that exam.

"Oh yeah, by the way, I have the photo of you making Ayanokouji touch your breast so I don't think it's a good idea for you to threaten him anymore." I said.

"Tch." she clicked her tongue.

"Just tell me already, what do you want me to do?"

"I want you to reveal to Ibuki your true face and give her the keycard with Horikita's name on it. I don't care if you have to lie to her or anything to make her believe that you're betraying our class. I'll create the circumstances for you to do it, so don't worry about any of our classmates seeing you confronting Ibuki." She had an expression of confusion on her face.

Shinohara: What is going on here?

"You just said that you want to help out the class and yet, you want to handover the keycard to her?!"

"Yeah, that is why I'm asking you to do it. I'll explain everything to you after the Island Exam is over, so don't worry about it."

"You really like keeping secrets, huh?"

"I just don't like people who have the habit of doting into my life the whole time, like, get a better hobby."

Ayanokouji: I can relate.

"This side of you, does Ichinose know about it?" she asked me, to know if my own girlfriend knew about it.

"What do you think?" I asked for her views.

"I don't think so. She's a pure soul in and out. If she knew about this side of you, she never would've fallen for you."

"I see. What about you, would you have fallen for me after knowing this side of me?" I asked her in a teasing manner.

Akito: You didn't give up teasing even in that situation?

Miyamura: I couldn't.

"Hmm....who knows." she said. Wait, I expected her to deny it.

Everybody was shocked as they saw that Kushida didn't deny it. Ichinose hugged me, to show other people that I'm hers as she pouted.

Mako: He may have used underhanded tactics but he didn't do anything. He was just testing her so it's fine. He's a good guy. He's looking out for his class too.

"In any case, how am I supposed get the keycard from Horikita?"she asked me.

"Don't worry about it. I'll get you the keycard."

Horikita: Wait, I lost the keycard. How did you....oh, I see. (looking at Ayanokouji)

Ayanokouji just shrugged.

"And the main thing, what if Ibuki spreads the word about this side of me?" she asked with a serious expression on her face as she narrowed her eyes.

"She won't. Even if she does, I'll back you up, besides, it's not like they'll believe her if she does. If need comes to be, I'll explain the entire plan to the whole class and make it seem like you acted the way you did, under my orders. We also have another card at hand, if she does spread it, we'll spread an even bitter rumour about her on the school forum. That'll take the focus off of you." I said.

Ibuki: Oh boy, good thing I did not spread any rumours about her.

"That's a good idea. Rumours like?" she asked.

"Hmmm....like she has an ass hair fetish. Or perhaps, she's got a crush on, i don't know, Ike and Yamauchi?" I said.

Everybody was shocked as well as on the verge of laughing, they tried it so hard to control their urge to laugh but in the end, everybody ended up laughing.

Ryuen: kukuku that would've ended her social life in the school.

Sakayanagi: fufufu you come up with the most intriguing ideas, Izumi.

Kiryuin: hahahaha

Ibuki- This asshole!

Akito: Dude, seriously?!

Hirata was laughing nervously.

Ike: I don't know why but I feel pretty insulted right now.

Ayanokouji: You don't like to hold back in these things, do you?

Miyamura: You know me, I can't.

Horikita: He's a menace to society.

Koenji was laughing narcissistically.

"You degenerate human." she said as she gave a sinister smile.

"Oh my, you're one to talk." I said as I smirked.

"So I think that we have ourselves a deal?" I said as I put out my hand.

"Yeah." she said as she shook my hand.

"Let's go back now, before other's start to get a little too suspicious." I said.

"Yeah." she agreed.

After making this deal with Kushida, I updated Ayanokouji with what had happened and also told him that he was free of the shackles of Kushida putting a fake allegation on him as I had a picture which proved otherwise. He was surprised when I told him that I was there and that I had concealed my presence.

A few days had passed and finally, the underwear incident took place. Ah, the class was drifting apart again. Well, I took this into account when I thought about my plan.

The girls demanded that the boys' be checked, along with their bags.

Shinohara spoke up, "Hirata-kun and Miyamura-kun are the only ones who we trust that didn't do this!"

"Huh?! Why only those two?!" spoke up Ike in irritation. Seeing as the person he had taken a liking to, was trusting two other people.

Onodera: Oooo~

Ike and Shinohara looked in opposite directions, flustered.

"Well, isn't it obvious? Hirata-kun is Karuizawa-san's boyfriend, there's no need for him to have done that and for Miyamura-kun, he's dating the cutest girl in our year, so there's no need for him to do that anyway." spoke up Shinohara in my defense.

Well, Honami really was the cutest, but I don't think that our situation was going to be the same after this island test. I had made up my mind to do it after this exam finishes anyway.

Ike: To do what?

Miyamura: You'll see.

Honami was nervous as that scene was going to come up at some point. I squeezed her hand to make her realise that I'm still here despite what happened in the past.

After that, me and Hirata started checking the bags of the boys and once it was Ayanokouji's turn, Hirata checked his pockets and turned towards me, I understood what he meant and I signaled him to be quiet and he did as I said, I felt that he would've been quiet even if I hadn't said anything.

Shinohara: What is going on?

Still, I had successfully kept the situation under control but the girls still wanted the boys' tent to be shifted on the other side of the river, even after Hirata and me informing that we did not find anything in the boys' bags.

Me and Hirata were given the task of putting away our tent on the other side of the island. I accepted it since I did not want the situation to worsen.

In the midst of it, Hirata asked me, "Do you really think that Ayanokouji-kun did not do it?"

Omodera: Ayanokouji-kun did not do what?

Miyamura: The underwear was found in his bag.

Class 2-D: What?!

Kei: Kyah~! I wouldn't have minded it to be Kiyotaka but....we weren't dating back then.

Shinohara: That creep!

Onodera: Pervert!

Miyamura: Calm down. He did not do anything. Ibuki was the one who put it in his bag.

Shinohara and Onodera: Oh

Class 2-D was now glaring at Ibuki who glared back at them.

I suppose I should answer him honestly.

"Yeah. I know that he's not that kind of a guy." I said.

Ayanokouji: Thanks for that.

Miyamura: I just spoke the truth.

"What do you think about him?"

"Huh?"

"I meant to ask, what are you views about him?"

"Hmm...if I had to say, he's the most reliable person in our class. Second is you, Hirata."

Class 2-D: The most reliable person in our class, just as Hirata-kun says too.

"I see, if you think that, Miyamura-kun, then it must be true. And, thank you for the compliment, but I'm not all that reliable."

"That modesty is what makes you so reliable." I spoke and Hirata gave a nervous laugh.

Both of us had a small talk while we shifted away our tent to the other side of the river. I really enjoyed it, these kinds of things from time to time, weren't bad.

Hirata: He enjoyed talking to me.....

It was now the second last day, or more like, night. Everybody had went to sleep and then, I sensed someone coming out of the tent.

Ike: What were you doing so late out at night?

Miyamura: Waiting for someone.

"It went as I planned, here." he said to me as he handed me the keycard.

Class 2-D was shocked on seeing who that person was.

"And, what did you want to talk about?" he asked me.

"Did Horikita notice that the keycard is missing yet?"

"She did."

"I see, I'll take care of everything else for tomorrow. But I need you to come with me somewhere, right now." I said to him.

"Is it that place?" he said.

"It's that place." I said.

"Then you don't have to worry about it. I took care of the camera."

Ike: Huh? What camera?

Shinohara: What's going on? Why does Ayanokouji-kun have the keycard?

As expected of Ayanokouji.

"Well, that's not surprising in the least."

Well, I had already dug the hole again, where we had found Ibuki, to check it's contents. When I saw the receiver, I understood that Ryuen was still on the island, despite his whole class retiring, depending on what Ayanokouji had told me about Ryuen having one, too. That's why I told Ichinose the truth about the guy they had taken in and asked her to take care of his reciever using water since the weather was rainy. I wanted to give her that tip as a gift to her for what's about to come.

Everybody: What?!

Ryuen: kukuku so you both came together and saw through my plan.

Sakayanagi: fufufu they toyed with you dragon boy.

"I'll take care of everything tomorrow so you can take it easy." I told him.

"Thanks." he said. I don't really know if he meant it or not since he said it in a monotonous voice. Typical Ayanokouji.

Akito: That's a fact.

Keisei: True enough.

Haruka: I agree.

Kei: Me too.

Horikita: He couldn't be more right.

Manabu: He's correct.

Amasawa: He knows him well.

Ayanokouji: Oi.

The last day arrived, and it was about to start raining, I had handed Kushida the keycard early in the morning and gave her the instructions of when to talk to Ibuki about it.

Ike: Why did you hand it over to Ibuki?! Did you want our class to lose?!

Miyamura: We still got the first position, didn't we?

Shinohara: That must've been the doing of Horikita-san.

Matsushita: These people are such fucking idiots.

Kushida: Are you guys idiots?

Everybody was shocked on seeing Kushida being her normal self. Even I was shocked on seeing that she spoke up for me.

Kushida: He's literally doing everything to help the class. Watch the complete video before blaming him of betrayal.

Everybody went quiet.

As it started raining, everybody was about to go into their tents but unfortunately, someone had removed the pegs which were holding the tent in place. It was me. Tee-Hee~

Sudo: That was you?!

Miyamura: Yeah. (laughing)

Now, the rain got faster, creating chaos and chaos leading to anarchy. I had managed to get my hands on the manual and I burnt it, because of the chaos, nobody paid heed to my deed. I threw it beside the tent and gathered some leaves that I found to be dry and lined them up which lead to the tent. The fire increased despite the rain getting heavier, since I had sprayed some perfume on the manual and the dry leaves. I walked away, quietly and gave Kushida the signal to take Ibuki someplace secluded. Soon, they noticed the fire and they went to try and extinguish it while moving away the tent, Kushida took Ibuki's hand and led her away somewhere while Horikita made a frowning face. Losing the keycard, and this chaos added upon it, she would be thinking that she has failed to do everything alone, well she was bound to, anyway. Kushida came back and showed me a thumbs up, indicating that her mission was over. I only nodded and walked over to Horikita. I only said one thing, "Oi, where's Ibuki?" and she immediately realised what I was trying to say. She looked around and saw Ibuki disappearing into the forest and ran after her. She's tough enough to carry on seven days on an uninhabited island with a fever, good thing Ayanokouji helped to worsen her health conditions, and now, she's going to have to fight Ibuki for the keycard.

Sudo: Ayanokouji did what?!

Horikita: Calm down, Sudo. He did nothing wrong.

Sudo: B-but...

Horikita: Shut up.

I left the place after helping them to put out the fire. I went the same way that Horikita did. After continuing on my path for a few minutes, I noticed Horikita lying on the ground. I picked her up and started walking towards the place where the teacher's were stationed. I had no need to talk to Horikita, she'd already lost her consciousness and there's no point in talking to her now, even if there was, I couldn't really care less.

Matsushita: Wow, that's cold.

"Wow, why are you bridal carrying her?" joked Chabashira-sensei as we reached them.

Sudo was lifeless.

Hoshinomiya-sensei: Sae-chan, it's rare seeing you make a joke~. (elbowing Chabashira-sensei)

Chabashira-sensei gave her a chop on the head.

"Rare for you to joke around, Sensei." I said and then, I continued, "Anyways, I want Horikita to retire. She's having a high fever. I think that the school would also not want one their students to die on an exam conducted by them." I put pressure on the word 'die'.

Matsushita: He's turning colder by the minute.

Mako: Honami-chan's found an interesting guy.

Kushida: To say that with a smile on his face is........

Kei: No wonder Kiyotaka and Izumi are such close friends.

"Very well, but you will lose 30 points."

"I know. I understand."

After getting Horikita retired, I stood there.

"Anything else you want?"

"I want to change our class's leader."

Everybody: What?!

Ike: Was that even possible?

Shinohara: I don't think that was allowed.

Ryuen: kukuku so that's how you did it.

Sakayanagi: fufufu

Katsuragi: He's dangerous.

Kanzaki: I knew this bastard is no joke.

Nagumo: This asshole......

Kiryuin:, He surprises me everytime.

She looked at me with a surprised expression.

I continued, "I believe that the leader herself retiring is a justifiable reason to change the leader of our class."

Matsushita: True enough.

Sato: I agree.

"Who do you want the new leader to be?"

"Who do you think is standing in front of you?"

The 1st year fangirls: So cool!

Asahina: Oo~Izumi, so cool.

"Very well."

After I recieved a keycard with my name on it, I turned around and was about to walk away but Chabashira-sensei spoke up, "I'm seeing new surprises with you everyday."

"They're going to keep coming. So don't die from the shock, sensei." I said the word 'sensei' in a seducing manner at which, Chabashira-sensei smirked.

Ryuen: He doesn't even let go of the teachers kukuku.

I walked away and gave the news to my class. They were shocked to hear that, I walked over to Hirata and told him that I was the new leader, but I asked him to keep quiet about it. I also explained to him about how I was able to become the leader.

Onodera: Hirata-kun, you knew?!

Hirata: Yes, but I was asked to keep it a secret.

The next day arrived and all of the classes lined up on the beach. Everybody was shocked to see Ryuen come out of the bushes as they had thought that the whole of Class-C had retired.

Ryuen: kukuku it sure felt good to see those surprised faces.

Miyamura: Yeah and when the results were announced, you were the most surprised one there.

Ryuen: You demon kukuku.

Mashima sensei came forward with a speaker phone and announced, "I'm going to announce the results for the Island Special Exam."

"Last place, Class-C, 0 Points."

Ryuen wore a shocking expression.

"3rd Place, Class-A, 120 points."

Murmurs could be heard about, as Class-A were bickering amongst themselves in shock.

"2nd Place, Class-B, 170 Points."

Class-B was happy and was not surprised in the slightest. But then all of the classes focused on us, as they all understood what was about to come.

"1st Place, Class-D, 235 points."

All of Class-D was in shock and yet they jumped from joy and gave each other high-fives.

The other classes were in confusion as to what had just happened. They couldn't believe that the class they were looking down upon, had beat them to it.

Ike: Haha! It sure felt good that day!

Ryuen: Even though you did nothing? You defect, kukuku.

Ike couldn't refute what Ryuen said.

After the results were announced, I understood the reason why Ibuki had a camera, why Class-C ended up with 0 points while Class-A lost only a certain amount of points by naming the class leaders' wrong.

Katsuragi: You saw through that?!

Ryuen: No shit.

Miyamura: Yeah, it was easy if you connect the dots, to be honest.

Katsuragi: He's not someone we can take lightly.

I walked over to Hirata and he spoke up, "Thank you, Miyamura-kun. I couldn't have done this without you."

"It's nothing special. I did it for the class. Just don't tell them it was me."

"May I ask why, Miyamura-kun?"

"Well, It's better this way. Besides, I was under Horikita's orders."

Horikita: Really, now?

Miyamura: Really.

"Really, now?" he asked.

"Really." It was quite convenient to use Horikita's name for everything, honestly.

After returning to the ship, I was called out by Ayanokouji as he was about to go to meet with Horikita.

We reached the deck where she was waiting for us.

I yawned as I was feeling sleepy from the tiredness. Even though I had been given exceptional physical prowess, I still felt tired from spending an entire week at an uninhabited island, well, anybody would, to be honest.

"Why are you here too, Miyamura-kun? Don't tell me...." she said.

Ike: Wait, what is going on?

Sakayanagi: fufufu you really are defects.

Ike: Huh?! Does that mean you know what's going on?!

Sakayanagi: fufufu, of course, I do.

Ike: Oh yeah, then tell me!

Sakayanagi: It's simple. Horikita-san did not do anything in the Special Island Exam. It was all Izumi-kun and Ayanokouji-kun who did everything and led your class to victory. Horikita-san was just a puppet for those two.

Class 2-D: What?!

Matsushita: It took them this long to figure it out?!

Kushida: What a bunch of trash.

"That's right. It was his plan that we decided to carry out." he said.

"What in the hell happened on the island?" she asked.

We told her everything about the plan. Except how Ibuki got hold of the keycard and about Kushida's involvement. We lied to her about how Ibuki got her hands on the keycard. About the partnership between Class-A and Class-C.

Horikita: Why did you not tell me?

Miyamura: There was no need to.

After explaining everything to her, she asked me, "Who are you?"

"What do you mean 'Who are you?' I'm Miyamura Izumi, of course." I said and then, I continued, "Sorry for making you retire. But it was the only way for this plan to work and for you to learn."

"Wait, for me to learn what?" she posed the question.

"For you to learn that you cannot do anything by yourself. You're not that strong. Fit that into your mind. You have to depend on the class." I said.

Ryuen: kukuku so he's the reason that she started to lead the class.

I had also decided, I'm not going to hold back now. I'm going to use my strengths to the fullest. The abilities given to me, I'm going to make full use of them so we can get to Class-A, even sooner. Though, I'm going have a little fun in the next mid-term exams.

Horikita: Wait, is that why......

Miyamura: Yep, that is why.....

After saying that, I walked away with Ayanokouji. Horikita was left speechless, as now, even she understood what I meant and agreed with me.

I saw my classmates running up to her and giving her their thanks. She was shocked at first but realized what was happening when they said that Hirata told them that it was all Horikita's plan. It went good, all things considered.

Now then, let's head over to that place. I split up with Ayanokouji who was going to take a nap in his room as I headed off to meet up with the person whom I had called.

"Yo, Honami." I said to her as I reached her.

She turned around said, "Hello, Izumi."

Ryuen: kukuku now this should be interesting.
