Chapter 110 A Tense And Extremely Intense Confrontation.

"Look... Look over there!"

"Isn't that Katsuragi from Class A?"

"And there's Ichinose and Kanzaki from Class B."

"And Ryuuen from Class C is also here..."

"Is that the D-Class student Nanaya who has been talked about recently?"

"They... They actually gathered together?"

"I have a feeling something big is happening..."

On the deck of the cruise ship, the students started to notice the situation and began whispering among themselves.

Gradually, students from different classes started moving towards their respective leaders' positions.

Even Ike Kanji, Yamauchi Haruki, and Sudou Ken came over.

"Why is that guy Nanaya hanging out with them?"

"I heard those guys are really skilled in their respective classes."

"Are they planning to fight?"

The three of them expressed their confusion and surprise.

Naturally, facing this situation, Kushida Kikyou and Hirata Yousuke also came over.

"What's everyone doing here?"

"Can we join in too?"

The two prominent figures of Class D approached Fang Li's side, as if they were concerned about what might happen to him, standing by his side.

On the other hand, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, who was initially the closest to Fang Li, had somehow withdrawn and faded into the crowd, reducing his presence to almost nothing, blending in with the crowd.

As always, he stayed out of the spotlight, fully embracing his reclusive tendencies.

However, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka did not leave; instead, he observed the situation from the crowd.

Apparently, this big shot, who had been playing dumb all along, was not completely indifferent to the current situation.

All the central figures of the four first-year classes were gathered here, emitting an atmosphere of tension and confrontation that was hard to ignore for anyone.

If Horikita Suzune were here, she would definitely pay attention to this scene, right?

But Horikita Suzune wasn't on the deck; she probably stayed in her room, reading books in her lone wolf style.

Later on, that girl with a strong sense of pride would surely regret not being present.

Because the start of the class competition was unfolding right here.

The central figures of the four classes gathered here for the first confrontation.

Once again, Horikita Suzune fell behind compared to others.

Of course, for the people present, the name Horikita Suzune might just be a stranger's name.

Now, everyone had gathered here because of one person.

That person was Fang Li.

"...I just came to greet Nanaya, but I didn't expect it to attract so much attention."

Katsuragi Kouhei said in a deep voice.

"How coincidental, I also came to say hello, but not because of you, but to continue the game we didn't finish last time."

Ryuuen Kakeru inserted his hands into his pockets, not even glancing at Katsuragi Kouhei, as if he had locked onto his prey, his gaze fixed on Fang Li. He grinned.

"The game Ryuuen-san mentioned always gives a dangerous vibe. If possible, I hope you can be more restrained."

Ichinose Honami offered this kind reminder with seemingly good intentions. The reason she came here was partly because she was attracted by this group and partly to be on guard against Ryuuen Kakeru's potential actions, extending a helping hand to Fang Li.

"If possible, I hope everyone can get along well and have a friendly relationship. That's the most important thing."

Hirata Yousuke expressed this hope sincerely, embodying his gentle nature, while also protecting Fang Li, his classmate, in front of students from other classes.

"As a result, everyone came over here because of Nanaya-san's presence. Nanaya-san is really popular."

Kikyou Kushida appeared as if she couldn't see the intense atmosphere and instead expressed her admiration for the attraction on the other side, smiling quite sweetly.

"I can't really feel happy about this."

Fang Li seemed to dismiss all the goodwill and ill intentions of everyone present, even when facing the central figures of all the first-year classes. He didn't show a clear preference or lean towards any side. Instead, he remained detached, appearing independent and unique.

It was precisely this independence that attracted the central figures of various classes and factions to him.

"I see, so Hoshinomiya-sensei wants us to pay special attention to you. I think I understand the reason now."

Kanzaki Ryuuji calmly made this analysis.

As for the others, they couldn't really intervene in this intense atmosphere.

For example, Totsuka Yahiko, who always acted arrogantly.

And Ishizaki Daichi, who had been put in his place by Fang Li before.

Both of them seemed to be intimidated by the dangerous atmosphere at the scene, silently swallowing their saliva.

Yamada Albert, on the other hand, remained calm, silently following behind Ryuuen Kakeru, not expressing anything, like a living bodyguard.

Even Karuizawa Kei, who was planning to approach from nearby, seemed reluctant to get close to this thorny situation and stayed with her friends.

The surrounding students unconsciously stopped discussing and held their breath.

One can only imagine the pressure felt by the central figures of the four first-year classes gathered together in a confrontational manner.

Only the people involved continued to behave as they were.

"Speaking of which, it seems like Sakayanagi-san isn't here," Ichinose Honami politely inquired to Katsuragi Kouhei, "Is she on the ship?"

"She should be in her room, right?" Kikyou Kushida also expressed her concern, saying to Katsuragi Kouhei, "I heard Sakayanagi-san has never been in good health, so it must be tough for her to go on a trip. I wonder if she needs any help?"

The two girls simultaneously showed their concern for another central figure in Class A.

"No need to worry," Katsuragi Kouhei replied calmly, without changing his expression, "Due to her health condition, Sakayanagi didn't participate in this trip. She's currently at the school and won't be here."

This was quite an unexpected piece of news.

However, Ryuuen Kakeru seemed to find it amusing.

"Is that so? Katsuragi?" Ryuuen Kakeru said with a happy expression, "It seems like A-Class will be in trouble without Sakayanagi."

After all, while others might be kept in the dark, the people here were not ordinary individuals and understood very well that this summer vacation was a crucial turning point for the four first-year classes.

Having another central figure from Class A absent was definitely not a good thing for them.

But Katsuragi Kouhei had a different perspective.

"I actually think it's better this way," Katsuragi Kouhei replied, "Sakayanagi and I have many conflicting principles. Without her, A-Class's actions won't be hindered or delayed by unnecessary disputes caused by our different ideologies."

From this perspective, it could indeed be considered a good thing.

"That's what he says," Ryuuen Kakeru chuckled as if he were scoffing, then turned his head and looked at Fang Li, asking, "What about you, Nanaya? How do you see it?"

How did he see it?

Wasn't that obvious?

"It's quite a pity,"

Fang Li smirked and expressed his genuine thoughts.

"I really wanted to meet Sakayanagi-san."

That was Fang Li's sincere statement.
