#26 Class C's camp

Karuizawa didn't say much for the rest of the time we spent together near the campfire.

"Hey, it's time to switch" Miyake and Hasebe came to us.

Average academic abilities but pretty good athletic prowess. A straightforward, honest and quite a humble person. That was my opinion on a person named Akito Miyake.

Again average academic and athletic abilities but a good judgment ability and can use her head better than most of the class. She talks with a small number of people and is more of an introvert but still different than Sakura who just can't talk with anyone even if she wants to. She tends to avoid contact with other boys from our class. She is viewed by the boys as a part of the more attractive girls in our class, maybe she just doesn't like the attention from boys. That was my opinion on Haruka Hasebe.

This woke up the Karuizawa from her thoughts

"Ah?! Yes, thank you...and good luck" She said and hurriedly left back to the girl's tent.

"Have we interrupted something?" Miyake asked me with an awkward expression.

"No, thanks and good luck" I got up and started to slowly walk towards the boy's tent

"Are you sure? She seemed a little bit off" Hasabe asked me with a concerned expression and I stopped for a moment.

"...She needs some time to think about something. Don't worry about her, she will be fine by tomorrow" I answered and resumed walking.

..

(----Hasabe's POV start----)

"What do you think they talked about before we interrupted them?" I asked Miyake after watching Walker's back disappear inside the boy's tent.

"Huh? How should I know?" He answered with a confused expression.

I haven't talked with Miyake too much but I have a feeling that he is a decent person. That's why I don't mind talking to him.

"What do you think about Hirata's and Karuizawa's relationship?" I asked him, trying to hold a normal conversation.

"What do I think? Well...I guess nothing much, I am not really interested in other's lives. Wait...you aren't suspecting Karuizawa-san and Walker-kun, right?" He asked me with a surprised expression.

"Well, for me it seems that Karuizawa-san doesn't actually like Hirata-kun. Of course, I don't suspect her having something with Walker-kun but she might be interested in him. His appearance isn't inferior to Hirata's and he also seems to be an athletic type of guy. Moreover, I noticed that Karuizawa was occasionally glancing at him" I told him my suspicion.

"Sounds reasonable but I don't get one thing. If his looks doesn't lose to Hirata's, then why would Karuizawa-san even try to go after him since she is already with Hirata-kun?" He got hooked up into conversation and asked me with a confused yet interested expression.

"Call it woman's intuition but I don't think that Karuizawa-san and Hirata-kun are actually dating. I have no evidence but at least they don't act like that"

But why would they fake their relationship? Does Walker know about it? I couldn't help but grow more curious as I looked towards the boy's tent.

(----Hasabe's POV end----)

I quietly entered our tent not to wake up anyone and after a 10 minutes of waiting, I looked outside and saw both Hasabe and Miyake sitting near the campfire with their backs facing the tents.

I silently slipped out and approached our pile of luggage. While I was quietly searching for my bag I spotted one bag that stood out from others.

Isn't that Ibuki's bag? Heh, let's check what have you got prepared for us.

When I opened her bag I saw usual stuff like a towel and underwear but one thing caught my attention.

Digital camera, huh? I took it into my hands and started to think while I was observing it.

Should I get rid of it?...No, that would alert her.

First, why does she have it? Does she want to take a picture of our leader's card? But why would she need to take a picture? I doubt that Ryuen is that distrustful towards his own people, he would probably believe someone from his own class but who wouldn't?...OTHER CLASS!

So that's the reason why Ryuen is spending all his points. He must have made some kind of contract with the other class. But as for conditions, that's still a mystery but they must have made it formal contract on paper with signatures and other shit. That means, there is still a chance for me to find it but which class has it? Class A or B? I highly doubt that it is Class B, considering Ichinose's personality plus she doesn't have a good relationship with Ryuen. I was racking my brain when Katsugari's image appeared inside my head ?!

HAHAHA, now it all makes sense. Katsuragi needs to gain more support in his class or he might lose his position to Sakayanagi and what is the best chance for that? Of course, without Sakayanagi's presence but I doubt that with her abilities she wouldn't be able to predict Katsuragi's tactic. So that means that someone in Class A might turn against his own class.

And Ryuen isn't someone that plays by the rules, he will definitely somehow betray Katsuragi. I shouldn't think about it too much right now.

Should I at least damage its memory card?

I looked back at the boy's tent and then shook my head.

He will probably do it for me and if not then I don't care, she definitely won't take a picture of my card. As for Horikita's card, I told her to take care of it like it was the original so no one would get suspicious. It seems that the 40 points I spent at the beginning will turn out to be useful in the end.

I put Ibuki's bag back and took my own bag and then I quietly sneaked out of the camp.

I didn't travel too far away from camp because I still had to take care of those wristwatches.

I simply took a small stone from the ground and made a crack with it on my wristwatches.

This won't be enough.

I took a bottle of seawater from my bag and poured it all over it.

The display started randomly flashing and after a few seconds, display turned off.

As for why I did it so close to my camp...The school probably installed a function on it to show the last location before it broke down. If they saw that my wristwatches broke down somewhere in the middle of the forest they might go immediately look after me but if they will see that it happened inside or close to the camp they will think of it as an accident and wait until the morning.

I took off my clothes and stuffed them inside my bag and put on my pitch-black ninja-like outfit.

Now that all trouble is gone... I stood up and widely smiled.

For the first time since coming here...I can finally run with everything I got!

I started to jump from one branch to another with incredible speed but instead of getting tired I was getting more excited and speeded up even more.

It's really comfortable and easy to move in these clothes.

After only 1 minute of running at full speed, I was able to spot Class C's camp.

They have too many tents but it is clearly visible which one belongs to Ryuen, heh.

But I must say that I am quite disappointed, I thought that they will have someone on watch at night.

There was absolutely no visible light inside the camp except for the moonlight.

*sigh* I guess I will make just "small" damage for now.

I took out a small glass bottle with a purplish liquid inside. It was the liquid I made from combining water with all kinds of fruits with negative effects.

This liquid should make people have a headache and stomach ache at most after being consumed.

Now to find the place where they stored all the stuff they bought.

I started the search with the biggest tents, of course it is also possible that all stuff is inside Ryuen's tent but I skipped it for the time being.

After a while, I was able to find a tent with a few boxes with food and water in it. There was also one person sleeping inside that tent.

He is the guy that lost to me during our volleyball match back at the pool. I asked around about him after that match and learned that everyone calls him Albert.

I silently opened all the boxes and started poisoning all the food and water.

When I was done I looked at the sleeping person.

He is probably the one responsible for guarding this stuff. Albert, I already feel bad for you, if Ryuen gets the grip on what happened then your future will be miserable.

I left the tent and made my way towards the biggest tent and when I took a peek inside I spotted Ryuen sleeping on a big bed with opened mouth and hand on his stomach.

HAHA. I was having a hard time holding in my laughter, after seeing him like that. I took a quick look around the tent and noticed the radio on the nightstand.

I won't risk looking for the contract with him sleeping here. What I saw today is more than enough for me but before I leave... I took out my phone from the bag and took a quick picture of a sleeping Ryuen. Hehe, sometimes I ask myself, Am I too evil?

I decided to leave their camp but I didn't forget to silently break a few other things on my way out.

"Sweet dreams, Class C" I mumbled while I was looking down on their camp from the highest branch of the tree. Seeing the scene of their camp being illuminated only by moonlight, I couldn't help but form a maniacal smile.

I will visit Class A for sure but the question is...Should I visit Class B too? Horikita told me that we will cooperate with them but I didn't give her my word. Well, I will at least go there to find out their leader if not to cause trouble.
