52 Chapter 52

The next day.

Syl was walking by when he saw someone nagging Koenji to start helping out the class and pull his own weight.

Syl smiled and waited until Koenji was alone.

He popped his head out. "Yo! What's my second favourite perfect human doing here all alone?"

"Fufufu. It's refreshing that someone else realizes my perfection."

Syl chuckled. "You betcha, anyway, I got a deal for you."

Koenji didn't even look at Syl. "I already agreed to finish this exam. It happens to align with my goals."

Syl shook his head and pulled out his phone. "You seem to have misunderstood." Syl showed him the screen of his phone with an email ready to be sent with the name of the participant who was the target.

Koenji looked at it and didn't say anything. Though he did seem slightly taken aback.

Syl smiled. "You want the private points right? Well, I want to get the class off my back for the uninhabited island exam and want a few private points. If you make a deal with me to split them 50/50 then I'll let you answer the question instead."

"Fufufu. What if I refuse?"

"Then I'll hit send and get all the private points for myself." Syl replied simply.

"Fufufu. Horikita girl and Hirata boy would never let you go if you got the question right, didn't you just say you wanted to go unnoticed."

Syl shrugged. "I'll just say I was bored and took a shot in the dark. I thought that this person was suspicious and just happened to guess right."

"Fufu. That is undeniably something you would do."

Syl nodded. "Plus, that isn't my main reason for this."

"Oh? Do tell."

Syl smiled. "It would be boring if I gave them the answer, this is way more interesting. This is also needed."

"Fufufu. I can't say I care for such a trifle. However, you intrigue me."

Syl smiled wryly. "I'm getting that a lot lately. I feel like I attract all the wrong people…"

"Fufufu. Very well. We have a deal."

Syl didn't even bother to get it in writing or try to shake on it. He just smiled and walked away.

"See you later, Koenji."

Syl received an email that his special exam was over 5 minutes later and 250,000 points 6 minutes later.

He walked home.

When Syl arrived at home Akito and Hirata were all over him.

"What happened? How did you get your target?" Hirata asked hopefully.

Syl shrugged. "I don't know man. Koenji just guessed someone. I had no clue it was him and I was in that group."

"Damn, I wish we could find some way to figure out who it was. Maybe there is a connection."

Syl changed into his pink bunny suit as Hirata responded.

Akito looked over. "I really like the outfit."

Syl smiled. "I got an extra pair of slippers if you want."

Akito pointed at himself. "Really? I can have some?"

Syl nodded and pulled out a pair from his bag. "I got you blue ones. Ayanokoji has red ones and Albert has purple ones."

Akito smirked. "Thanks."

Syl nodded before turning off the lights. "I'm going to bed."

The next day.

Syl was strolling through the halls when eventually Ayanokoji stopped him.

"Hey Syl."

Syl paused and turned back to face him. "What's up?"

"Did you do something to Ichinose?"

Syl smirked. "I gave her a little advice, why?"

"She's been acting strange the last few days. I was just curious as to why so I asked her and she muttered something I couldn't really hear, I only heard her say your name."

Syl chuckled. "I just gave her a little lesson on chistianity, the 10 commandments and the seven deadly sins."

Ayanokoji didn't believe that for a second. "Alright, well. I'm going to leave first, Horikita wanted to talk to me about the exam."

Syl stopped him for a moment. "How's everything going?"

Ayanokoji answered. "It's fine, things are progressing smoothly so far. Thought I don't know who the target is."

Syl smiled. "Really? I do. It's pretty simple."

Ayanokoji sighed. "I'll pretend I didn't hear that."

Syl chuckled. "I heard that Kei's having a rough time in your group. Look out for her, okay? Don't let anything too bad happen to her."

Ayanokoji was silent for a moment before nodding. "Since when did you call her Kei?"

"The island. Don't worry, we aren't dating or anything, you still have a chance." Syl replied calmly.

"I'm not trying to date her. No, first of all, she's dating Hirata."

"And Kushida's an angel."

Ayanokoji didn't reply. "I'm going first."

He walked away before Syl could stop him again.

A few seconds after Ayanokoji left Ichinose walked up to Syl.

What were the odds?

Very good!

They were in the same group after all…

Anyway!

Ichinose walked up to him with a concerned look on her face. "Are you alright? That was a really high fall! You could have gotten seriously injured!"

Syl smiled. "Don't worry, I'd never get hurt by something like that."

"Stop messing around! How could you be fine after that?"

Syl smirked and walked away. "I'm just built different."

"What? What does that even mean?" Ichinose stood still, confused.
