Alex Pov:
Yesterday Ichinose joined our classroom, so now I must protect her, but I really like that she joined the classroom. Her popularity will be very useful and having her good personality will be very nice for the class atmosphere.
Right now, I'm in the cafeteria having breakfast with Albert and Ryuen, when Ibuki, Ichinose and Shiina enter the cafeteria. I wave my hand and they make their way over to our table.
Ibuki: Good morning
Alex: Good morning, how did you sleep Ichinose?
Ichinose: Good morning, I slept very good actually, by the way the thing you said about a test coming up today, are you sure?
Alex: I'm 90% sure.
Ibuki: So, then it's going to happen, dammit, I was having fun here in the cruise without doing anything.
Shiina: Yeah, I feel the same way.
Alex: Don't worry, I told you that I was going to let you have holidays, so don't worry about this test.
Ichinose: What do you mean that its going to happen then?
Ibuki: Oh, its true that you are new, well whenever Alex says he is sure more than 50%, then its going to happen.
Shiina: Yeah, all the class knows this.
Ichinose: Wow, you trust Alex a lot.
Ibuki: You will as well soon, I'm sure about that.
Ichinose: But I already trust Alex.
Ibuki: Just wait, you will understand what we mean.
Shiina and Albert started nodding.
We started talking about casual things during breakfast until there was a summoning to all the students in the cruise.
Once in the beach, we were separated, and of course when Ichinose went to our class space all the classes except class B didn't understand why.
Sakagami: Good morning class, and of course welcome to class C Ichinose.
And when people heard that, gasps and exclamations started sounding from all the classes except class B.
Chabashira: What do you mean by that? Did she change classes?
Sakagami: Yes, the director said it was a special case and she just had to pay 1 million points.
After seeing that everyone was here, they explained how the special test was going to work.
And we were told that we must stay in this island for one week. And we were given 300 points but there was a rule that seem just too interesting.
If the actual leader is not capable of continue the exam, the leader can be change.
I look around and notice the pale face and sweat of Horikita. Symptoms of illness. How would they play this?
After the explanation we were left on our own for the rest of the week.
Alex: Gather around guys.
Everyone gathered around Ryuen, Ichinose and me.
Alex: Good, now do you remember what I told you guys?
Ibuki: that you will lets us rest and have fun during the holidays.
Alex: Exactly, so now we have 300 points to spend like we want, so ready to have some fun?
All the class yelled yes which seemed weird for the rest of the classes.
Alex: Before that, we will select the leader.
After saying this I pointed at Ibuki.
Ibuki: Me?
I nodded.
Alex: Don't worry, as I said before, we are not taking this seriously, we are having fun!
And once again cheers could be heard from our class.
Alex: So, lets buy everything you want.
First thing we bought was enough drinks and food for us to survive this week.
We even bought a water motorcycle and two toilets.
Now this is life, Ichinose, Ryuen and I were laying on 3 deckchairs in the shadows while each one of us had a drink in our hands.
So, this is call lemon Fanta? Quite good if I must say.
After a few hours of the first day, a class leader came to make a deal with us.
Ryuen: kukukuku, to what do we own the pleasure Katsuragi?
Ichinose: Good morning Katsuragi.
Alex: Yo
Katsuragi: Good morning, I came here with an offer for your class.
Alex: Oh, and what kind of deal is this?
Katsuragi: An alliance with class A. We give you points, and you give us help and information in exchange.
Alex: Mmmm, Ichinose are we missing points right now?
Ichinose: Nop, from what I know, we are doing very good.
Alex: What about you Ryuen, are you missing points?
Ryuen: kukukuku, well, it all depends on how many points class A wants to offer us.
Alex: I was thinking the same thing.
Katsuragi: 300k a month until the alliance is done.
Alex: Not good enough but thank you for your offer. By the way Katsuragi, how are you doing against Sakayanagi?
Katsuragi stayed silent until he looked at me directly in the eyes.
Katsuragi: Since when do you know and how?
Ryuen: kukukuku, it seems that its not going very good Alex.
Ichinose: What is happening?
Alex: It seems that way Ryuen, we knew since day 1 and it was obvious. Just one look and you could guessed what was going on.
Katsuragi: I see, it seems I have underestimated you.
Alex: Oh, you have no idea how late you are Katsuragi.
Ryuen: kukukuku too late.
Even Ichinose was laughing.
Katsuragi: What have you done.
Alex: You will see. But I can make you another proposition Katsuragi.
Katsuragi: What is it?
Alex: Join my class and I will help you crush Sakayanagi.
Shock could be seen from his face and the two lackeys behind him.
Katsuragi: Are you serious?
Alex: I am, look at Ichinose if you want a proof.
Ichinose couldn't help but chuckle under the gaze of Katsuragi.
Katsuragi: Thank you for the offer but I prefer to fight my problem instead of scaping them.
Alex: I see, well it was a pleasure seeing you again Katsuragi.
Katsuragi: likewise, Alex.
Ryuen: kukukuku see you.
Ichinose: Bye Katsuragi!
Ryuen and I looked at Ichinose after her farewell.
Ichinose: What is it?
Alex: You must improve in mocking others.
Ichinose: Mocking?
I just sighed and lay down again.
Ichinose: What do you mean by that Alex? Alex? Stop ignoring me. Eh? Why are you looking at me like you just saw something miserable? Ryuen? Alex?
We decided to ignore her, she has time.
The next visit was from Class B.
Kanzaki came with two girls and directly went in our direction.
This time it was only Ryuen and me laying down, as Ichinose was playing beach volleyball.
Kanzaki: Good afternoon.
Ryuen: Another class?
Alex: It seems like that. Good afternoon Kanzaki. What can I help you with?
Kanzaki: We came to see Ichinose and see if you wanted to make an alliance with our class.
Alex: What do we gain from the alliance?
Kanzaki: Working together.
Ryuen and I looked at each other with our eyes saying, "Is this guy for real?"
"Don't they know that they are trying to pact with the devil?"
Alex: Are you for real?
Kanzaki: Yes.
Ryuen could help but start laughing.
I just sighed and called Ichinose over.
She seemed very happy that her previous class came to visit her and after hearing the alliance offer, she couldn't help but look at me and whisper something into his ear.
I'm guessing it's something like: "Don't worry I will try to convince him"
After the exchange of words, Ichinose asked me if they could come here and join the party, I just nodded, but saying that we didn't have enough food for another class.
And so, it was decided that staying, they could come and leave whenever they wanted.
Finally late in the afternoon the last class came, class 1D.
This time the monster was indeed here with Horikita.
Alex: Good afternoon Horikita. You took your time to come. And who is the student next to you?
Ayanokoji: Good afternoon, my name is Ayanokoji, nice to meet you.
Wow, all this was said with a monotonous voice.
Horikita: What are you doing spending all your points? Are you not taking this test seriously?
Alex: We are having fun during the holidays, its good to rest you know. The points were there to be spent.
Horikita: So, you are not planning to take this seriously?
Alex: Why would I, the difference between our classes is too big for you to catch up. Why would I try? I can just wait for the start of the school and then continue to crush your class.
I said all this with a smile.
Before Horikita could answer back, Ichinose came over.
Ichinose: Alex, some people are asking if we can have barbecue for dinner.
Alex: Oh, that's an excellent idea. Its more, I'm going to cook for all of you!
Ichinose: You know how to cook as well? I can't wait to taste your food.
Ibuki and some girls came over after hearing.
Ibuki: Did you just say that you are going to cook for all of us, Alex?
I nodded.
Cheers started to be heard all around the island. And they left running spreading what I just said to the rest of the students in our class.
Ichinose: Oh, didn't see you there Horikita and Ayanokoji.
Horikita: How and why did you do it, Ichinose?
Ichinose: What do you mean by that?
Before I could hear the rest, Ibuki came and dragged me all the way to the sea.
Horikita Pov:
Alex just got dragged away as well as Ryuen. This is the best time for me to ask her.
Horikita: How did you change between classes?
Ichinose looked at me before a smile appeared on her face, after she turned around and looked at Alex playing with the rest of the class.
Ichinose: I didn't do anything, he did it.
Horikita: You mean Alex?
Ichinose nodded.
Horikita: But why did you change classes?
Ichinose looked at me hesitating before answering
Ichinose: I needed protection and he told me that he would protect me with his life.
Wait a minute, why did Ichinose needed protection, and why go to Alex?
Horikita: Why Alex? You could have come to us or even class A.
After my comment she chuckled.
Horikita; What's so funny?
Ichinose: No, its just that before changing classes I asked the same question to his classmates, and now I understand their answer.
Horikita: What was their answer?
Ichinose had a smile on her face.
Ichinose: Alex is just the king of the school, what he says he does it, you can't even imagine how many benefits he brings to our class. Even a famous third-year student recommend me to go and ask for his help.
Horikita: The king? What benefits? And who told you to go to him instead of class A?
Ichinose: I asked similar questions, now I see what Ibuki said. Before the special test began, he said that he predicted that a test would occur in the island, the benefits are a secret only available for our class. And you know quite well this third-year student.
Before I could answer, Ayanokoji spoke first.
Ayanokoji: Are you talking about the student council president?
Wait what? My big brother thinks so highly of a first year student? Impossible.
Ichinose: Indeed.
Horikita: But why would my big brother recommend him to you?
Ichinose: He told me that he was the most capable student of all the first year and among the best of all the students in the school. But I think he is wrong.
Horikita: Wrong?
Ichinose nodded.
Ichinose: I think he is underestimating him. He told us that he wasn't even trying and what he did just in two months is amazing.
Underestimating? Are you kidding me?
Horikita: Do you regret your decision of not changing to class A?
Ichinose this time started laughing out loudly.
Horikita: Did I say something funny?
Ichinose: Oh no, my apologies, is that its just too funny the surprise.
Horikita: Surprise? What has he done?
Ichinose: That's a secret, but its already too late to do anything. He had been playing with all of us even though we didn't knew.
Horikita: Playing?
At this time Ryuen came.
Ryuen: kukukuku, Ichinose it seems that you gave her some clues about the surprise.
Ichinose: Did I say too much?
Ryuen: kukukuku, well it doesn't matter, what has been done its done. Now soon the barbecue will star, Alex has catch some fishes.
And like that he left.
Horikita: Ichinose, one last question. Do you think you can reach class A, with Alex as the leader?
Ichinose: No doubt about it. By the ways do you want to cone to the barbecue? Class B is coming.
Horikita: Thank you, we will ask our classmates first.
Ichinose: Ok, Oi Ibuki, now its my turn with the water motorcycle!
And she left.
Horikita: What do you think Ayanokoji?
Ayanokoji: He is dangerous, so watch out.
Horikita: I see, and what about this test?
Ayanokoji: He is not going to do anything; he wants to see the potential of the other classes.
I see, well Alex, let me saw you, my potential.
Alex Pov:
After the barbecue, class B and D left in the direction of their camps.
Ichinose: I didn't know you could cook so well Alex. I was amazed.
Ibuki: Indeed, I can't eat anything for one month, I'm too full right now.
Alex: Don't worry about it, we still have 6 days left until the test finishes. I will cook whenever you want. But now everyone goes to rest.
After 10 minutes, everyone was inside their tents. And I was in front of Ichinose and Ryuen.
Alex: What did your dog told you Ryuen?
Ryuen: kukukuku, she told me that Horikita is their leader. It seems that you were right once again.
Ichinose: Dog? Once again? What did you do now Alex?
Alex: Its nothing, we have a dog in class D after she tried to incriminate me of rape.
Ichinose: Who would do something like this?
Alex: Kushida.
Ichinose: What!?
And so, we began to explain her what happened and my guess of the plan of class D.
Ichinose: I see, so that's the plan of class 1D, very intelligent.
Alex: Yes, it is.
Ichinose smiled in my direction.
Ichinose: But not enough for you not to predict it.
Alex: Indeed.
Ichinose: And what about class A and B?
Alex: Class A leader must be one of the two lackeys of Katsuragi and class B its Hamaguchi. During the barbecue he couldn't help but look for the spot of this place. Really, your previous class is just horrible Ichinose.
Ichinose: I see.
Ryuen: kukukuku, now we can rest for the test.
So, we decided to do that.
Time skip:
The days passed and we were having fun until the last night, when the bug I planted in the teacher's tent caught what I wanted to. Now let's just have fun.
The time for identifying other classes leaders came and without too much of a thought I wrote their names.
In the present we are separated into classes once again.
Sakagami: I see that you had fun during this test class.
Class C: Yes sensei!
Sakagami nodded and went back to the rest of the teachers.
Chabashira: Now we will announce the results of the test.
In 4th place: Class A with 120 points
In 3rd place: Class B with 140 points
In 2nd place: Class C with 200 points
In 1st place: Class D with 225 points.
Now from the crowed of students gasps and cheers could be heard.
Although class D results were amazing the most shocking result was class C.
Because they lost all the points and did not do anything during the test yet they got 200 points.
Ryuen: Now that's a good reaction. Kukukuku.
Ichinose: I'm starting to like these reactions as well.
Alex: What did a told you guys, we would have fun during the holidays.
Class C: Yes Alex!
All the classes were looking at us.
Chabashira: Ok now we can start to go back to the cruise.
But before anyone could move, I raised my hand.
Chabashira: Yes, Alex?
Alex: Sakagami-sensei, I think its time to show the surprise.
Chabashira, the teachers and the rest of the students looked at me with confusion
And then various laughs could be heard from different people.
Sakagami-sensei, Ryuen, Ichinose and the rest of my classmates.
Ryuen: Now this is going to be an excellent reaction. Kukukuku
Ichinose: Can't wait to see it.
Sakagami: Are you sure Alex? You could show the surprise afterwards.
Alex: No need to wait, we have already had some fun.
Sakagami: Ok, let me call the director.
Chabashira: Alex, what is the surprise you are talking about?
Alex: In a few minutes you will see.
After a few minutes, Sakagami came back with a huge smile.
Sakagami: It done. Please everyone come and get your phones, in a few minutes a message will be sent to some of you.
And so, we got our phones, and after a few minutes the first exclamation came.
Chie: Are you kidding me right now?
Tomonari: There must be a mistake.
Chabashira didn't say anything and just looked at me.
And so the message came.
To class B students: You have been demoted to class C.
To class A students: You have been demoted to class B.
And to my class: You have been promoted to class A. Congratulations!
Shock could be seen and heard around the classes. Except from class D which didn't know what was happening.
Sakagami: Now please, everyone move to your new spots.
And that's when shock appeared in the faces of class D students.
Class B students move to the spot of class C, class A moved to class B and class C moved to class A.
Sakagami: Let me show you the new score.
Class A: 1208 points
Class B: 1124 points
Class C: 803 points
Class D: 265 points
Chabashira: Sakagami, mind to explain how did this happen? What did you do?
Sakagami started laughing.
Sakagami: To tell you the truth it wasn't me, it was Alex.
And once again everyone's gazes were on me.
Chabashira: Explain what happened.
Alex: I'm not oblige to.
Sakagami: He is right Sae, now everyone, you can come back to the cruise. First class 1A.
And with those words we started to walk under everyone's gazes.
Now let me show you what is the definition of domination.
