Chapter 50

That night Syl realized that Horikita was missing.

She never chased after Ibuki and Albert so Syl wondered when it happened.

Alas! He didn't care that much! Today was the last day of the uninhabited island exam!

Everyone was in a slightly better mood because they were almost back to civilization!

The class went back to the starting area to gather for the results.

Ryuuen strolled over as the only student left from his class.

"I thought they didn't allow dangerous animals on the island, so what's a gorilla doing here?"

Sudo heard this and was pissed. "What did you call me?!"

Ryuuen smiled. "Kukuku. I guess it's true that monkeys have bad hearing."

Sudo tried to charge at Ryuuen but was stopped by Hirata. "He's just trying to provoke you."

Sudo huffed and stopped trying to get at Ryuuen.

"So where's Suzune?" He asked as he looked around.

Sudo flared up again. "Don't call her that!!" He said as he grabbed Ryuuen by the collar.

Syl, who was listening in on this conversation smiled to himself.

"Kukuku. Get your hands off me monkey, I wanna play with Suzune right now. I wonder what face she'll make when she's faced with defeat?"

Syl chuckled. "I wonder what face you'll make."

Ryuuen looked at him with suspicious eyes. "What did you do?"

Syl smiled. "Nothing. I just enjoyed the ride this time."

Ryuuen was starting to get worried that he couldn't see Horikita now.

Then Mashima sensei started to announce the results.

"Now, on to what you all have been waiting for, the results of this special examination. In last place, we have class B with 0 points…"

Ryuuen looked shocked for a moment before realizing what happened. "Kukukukuku. Did you really do nothing, Anomaly?"

Syl smiled and nodded. "Ask your spys if you don't believe me."

"Kukukuku. Interesting, I see now." Ryuuen laughed at his own defeat.

Mashima continued on. "... in third place, is class C with 40 points."

"What?! But we should have 190 points!" One of the Class C students yelled out.

"You're right, unless… all three classes guessed our leader." Ichinose pondered aloud.

At this point Ryuuen cracked up. "Kukukuku. This is interesting."

"... In second place, we have Class A with 190 class points."

Katsuragi was suddenly assaulted with insults for not coming in first place like he promised.

He just looked at Syl and pondered something.

"... And in first place is Class D with 285 points."

"U-us?" Sudo asked.

"We won?" Ike echoed.

"We did it! HAHAHAA!!!" One of the boys called out in joy.

"How?" Matsushita asked out loud.

Ryuuen walked over. "Kukuku. Who's idea was that? I like the way they think."

Syl shrugged in response. "I told you, I had absolutely nothing to do with it, I don't even know what happened. Though, I think we can both guess based on the results."

Ryuuen laughed again. "Kukukuku. So many interesting prey around. I don't know who to eat first."

Syl smiled. "You seem awfully happy for someone in last place."

"Of course, I already got what I wanted. I also found a new playmate. Who needs an extra 100 class points?" Ryuuen replied nonchalantly.

"Remember that I got you an extra 100,000 points a month, that's like, a lot per year." Syl said as he struggled with the mental math.

"You mean 1,200,000 a year?" Ryuuen answered for him.

"Yeah! That! I knew that!" Syl quickly interjected.

Ryuuen just shrugged and walked away. "I already forgot."

Syl sighed. What an ungrateful bastard!!

He joined back up with the class.

Eventually he walked over to Ayanokoji. "How's our class leader doing on this fine day?" He asked with a smile.

"I really can't hide anything from you." Ayanokoji said helplessly.

"Did you figure it all out?" Syl asked.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Ayanokoji refused to admit anything.

Syl smiled. "Did you need my hint back on the boat, or would you have figured it out either way?"

Ayanokoji walked away. "Thanks to you we were able to guess class C, class B and class A's leaders."

Syl gasped. "Wait! Don't use me as your scapegoat! I never agreed to this!"

Ayanokoji looked back. "Don't you think it's the least a traitor could do for his class?"

Syl was speechless.

"HE'S LEARNING!!" Syl cried out in horror!

The perfect human was becoming perfecter!

How terrifying!
