Her tone suggested she knew more than she let on.
Had she really not used her status as a second-generation elite?
Sakayanagi Arisu noticed Kaoru Mitoma suspicious gaze and frowned slightly in displeasure.
"I have my own sources of information. It's not like you're the only one with connections to upperclassmen."
"So why not share it with everyone?" Kaoru Mitoma asked quietly.
The question clearly touched on a sensitive issue between Sakayanagi Arisu and Class A.
She avoided answering and instead turned her gaze to the students nearby.
"I don't think they stand a chance against Class A. Ichinose from Class B is naive and sweet, while Ryuuen from Class C is nothing special."
Kaoru Mitoma calmly watched the girl as she spoke with a tone that gradually carried a hint of amusement.
"Honestly, I'm not very interested until they defeat Katsuragi" Sakayanagi Arisu said softly.
"Reaching the top from the start makes life too dull. That's why I've been looking forward to your actions—and his."
It seemed she didn't even hold Katsuragi Kouhei in high regard. Fortunately, there were no Katsuragi faction students around to hear this, or it might have caused trouble.
But was it really okay for Hashimoto Masayoshi and the others to hear these words?
"It's frustrating to think that besides me, Sakayanagi-san has another plaything," Kaoru Mitoma said.
"Do I need to eliminate them for you to pay more attention to me?"
Sakayanagi Arisu looked at him with a faint smile, then whispered.
"You can only face me because I don't want anyone else to claim you first."
Kaoru Mitoma fell silent.
Was this her way of provoking him?
"Care to make a bet with me?"
"Haha, so you can get angry too?"
"For the upcoming special exam, I'm betting on Class A and the Katsuragi faction to win completely."
"You want me to help the other classes?"
"No, you can bet on a certain genius. If he can stop me, I'll willingly call you master" Kaoru Mitoma paused.
"If he can't, then you'll have to call me master instead."
Sakayanagi Arisu lips curled slightly, but she dismissed his proposal.
"Haha, that punishment won't do. Let's change it."
As she spoke, her gaze fell on Kamuro Masumi, and she added with a smile
"If you can truly surprise me, both Masumi and I will grant you one request."
Kamuro Masumi face darkened.
"How many times do I have to say it? Don't drag me into your rivalry!"
"Deal!" Kaoru Mitoma agreed without hesitation.
At that moment, the ship intercom suddenly crackled to life.
"Attention all students: If you have the time, please gather on the deck. The island is now visible ahead, and you're about to witness a truly significant sight."
As the broadcast ended, most of the students began to appear on the deck, curiously looking ahead.
Among them, Katsuragi finally came into view before Kaoru Mitoma.
However, the student beside him was a bit of a problem.
"Get lost, you inferior Class D trash!"
Kaoru Mitoma could see Totsuka Yahiko roughly shoving Kiyotaka Ayanokoji aside, arrogantly driving away the Class D students, and then securing the best spot for Katsuragi.
Seemingly annoyed by his subordinate behavior, Katsuragi scolded him a few words.
Soon after, Kaoru Mitoma glanced around and noticed that even Ichinose and Ryuuen had appeared on the deck, while Suzune Horikita arrived late, wearing a jacket with her arms crossed.
"What a beautiful sight" Arisu Sakayanagi suddenly remarked.
It turned out that an island was gradually emerging on the horizon, and as the distance closed, the surroundings grew increasingly noisy.
Kaoru Mitoma looked out and saw a lush, uninhabited island come into view.
Its highest point seemed to be only about 200 meters, with a tall tower visible in the distance.
It appeared that the island had quite a few man-made structures.
For some reason, the cruise ship didn't dock immediately but instead circled the island.
"Attention, we will soon be docking at the uninhabited island owned by our school. Please change into your sports uniforms within the next half hour and check your designated luggage, backpacks, and other personal items. Bring your phones to the deck for assembly. All other personal items should remain in your rooms."
Following the broadcast instructions, the students excitedly headed back to change.
"It seems I'll have to wait here for your triumphant return" Sakayanagi sighed, her mobility issues preventing her from participating in such activities.
Kaoru Mitoma glanced at the girl calves.
Even through her white stockings, the slender lines of her legs were visible. Her soft, full calves didn't seem particularly weak, as she hadn't yet been reduced to using a wheelchair.
"It's quite rude to stare at a woman like that, Mitoma-kun" Sakayanagi said with a hint of displeasure.
"Just taking an early look at my spoils" Kaoru Mitoma replied, averting his gaze before turning to head back to his room.
"That guy's really arrogant" Masumi Kamuro chimed in, stirring the pot. "If it were me, I'd make him kneel and call me master."
Sakayanagi tapped Kamuro's calf with her cane and then turned to Masayoshi Hashimoto, instructing.
"I'll leave the rest to you, Hashimoto-kun."
Hashimoto clicked his tongue. "Since it's an order from the princess, I'll do my best. But I'm not sure I can handle him."
"Ha, I'm not asking you to handle him" Sakayanagi chuckled. "To be honest, I'm quite curious about what kind of surprise he'll give me."
Hashimoto thought for a moment.
He, too, was curious about Kaoru Mitoma capabilities.
But for now, they also needed to go back and change.
By the time Kaoru Mitoma returned to the deck, it was already bustling with activity.
The homeroom teachers were present, instructing the students to line up by class.
"Starting with Class A, we will disembark in order. Phones are prohibited on the island. Please hand them over to your homeroom teacher" a teacher announced through a handheld megaphone.
Just as Kaoru Mitoma was about to head toward Class A, someone bumped into his shoulder.
The other party seemed to feel the pain and looked up at Kaoru Mitoma with anger, only to suddenly pause, then smile and say.
"Sorry, sorry, I didn't notice you were here."
The girl voice was pleasant to the ear. Kaoru Mitoma glanced at her. She was wearing sportswear—a white short-sleeved shirt revealing a section of her snow-white arm, paired with long pants suitable for exercise, so her calves were not visible.
However, even so, it couldn't hide the fact that a steady stream of desires was emanating from her.
[Publicly humiliate Karuizawa Kei in front of everyone!]
[Threaten Karuizawa—you wouldn't want everyone to know you were bullied, would you?]
[Lick Karuizawa Kei delicate feet until they're ruined]
[You must make her cry]
[Rather than being a parasite, be a slave]
[Kei-chan, for you, I must personally put a collar on you]
[Rub her little belly]
[Hehe, Kei-chan was born to be devoured]
…
Although the girl outfit was different from usual, there was no doubt that she was Karuizawa Kei from Class D.
