POV Riku
"Akira." I called out to him, making him turn to me and face me. "How many points do you think we should spend?"
He smiles at me and responds.
"A good question: How many points do you think we should spend, Riku?" Instead of him answering me, he returns the question directly to me.
"Please, Akira, I'm serious. I need to hear your opinion, after all. You're the leader, right?"
"Indeed. But remember what I said before? I make no effort to help or hinder them." He shrugs. "However, since you are asking for my opinion, I would say that I would prefer to spend at most half of our points."
"Half?" I looked at him in disbelief. "That's a lot of points."
"Not exactly." He denies it, making me analyze his explanation. "'A lot' would be if we had to spend over 150 points. Spending half the points wouldn't be a lot, but it wouldn't be a little either. It's half and half."
"So it's reasonable?" He waves at me.
"And you?"
I think and give an answer. "I think we would spend a maximum of 120 points. As we have water, we don't need to worry about spending on unnecessary resources involving water, except the water filter."
"..." He doesn't interrupt me and continues watching me from the front, while he listened attentively to my point of view.
"The options we have are; Food, beds, tents, ice, coal, fire, some ingredients, medicine and lanterns."
"And what else?"
"And what else?" I was confused.
"You said you wanted to spend a maximum of 120 points. There are still 15 left." Wait, did he make a calculation in that short space of time?
"I... don't know. What else could be useful? The only items that provide help are; Candles, mosquito repellents, and-"
"Fishing rod." We said at the same time, I turned to him. "So you knew?"
"Yes. Plus, I've never fished in my life, so I wanted to have a moment like this." He shrugs.
I smiled at his sincerity. "So are you looking to enjoy this vacation? Or are you just making up a reason to create your own vacation?"
"Both." He smiles with teeth on his face.
I couldn't help but laugh at his response. Even though he's being honest with me, for some reason, I feel like he's hiding something. I just don't know what it is.
"Oh, one more thing." He calls me. "Sae wanted to have a talk with you about the preparations."
"Okay. What about you? Are you coming with me?"
"I denied her request." What? "Hey, don't look at me like that. She knew I would deny her request, that's why she asked me to call you."
I see. It's no surprise that Chabashira hasn't gotten angry with you...yet.
"Okay. Call me when you need some company." I nod.
"I'm not isolating myself, Riku. They'll soon keep me company." By them, I think he's referring to the others who went exploring the forest, including Koenji who just made a fire.
I turn and head towards the river, where I see Chabashira standing to the side, talking to Nanase and Tsubaki. Standing in front of her, I catch her attention.
"Akira told me you needed my help." She turns to face me, her expression was serious unlike before. "What?"
"Tell me, Utomiya-kun, do you think it's right to combine our classes with each other, or separate them so as not to cause confusion?"
I crossed my arms. "What does this refer to again?"
"Well, let's just say there are some students who are... you know, perverts." I see.
"I've already thought about that possibility, Chabashira-san, I don't deny it, however. I still don't think it's right to separate our class into two groups." I argued, she looks up, waiting for me to finish explaining. "For people like Shinji, it's quite natural for him to have these types of thoughts, however, we know he's not an attitude pervert. He prefers to keep it to himself."
"I agree with Utomiya-kun." Nanase supports me as she takes a step forward. "Shinji cares more about people's well-being than his... antics. However, he is not a 'danger' in our group."
Chabashira lets out a sigh. "I know that, but it's just in case. Even if I explain this to the girls, I highly doubt they'll support it." She's right.
"So this is pretty easy to resolve." Tsubaki commented, making us turn towards her. Curiously, she is sucking on her lollipop before rolling it over her lower cheek. "We don't need to separate our classes, we just need to bring together people who are considered 'trustworthy' by the girls."
An idea crossed my mind. "Wait, does that mean-"
"Exactly." She smile. "We will separate some students who are labeled as perverts and leave them at the back of the line, perhaps at the back. While those at the front, remained vigilant and kept an eye on every rash movement. Be it from perverted students or enemies."
Chabashira nodded. "So that's all settled, though. That's not why I called you here."
'Well, that's to be expected' I thought.
"What's on your mind, Chabashira-san?" I asked.
"I'm a little suspicious of Akira." She said, leaving Nanase confused.
"Huh? With what exactly, Sae? Do you think he might betray us?"
"I don't think that's the case, Nanase-san, that possibility is extremely impossible." Tsubaki stated.
"I agree." I waved.
"Yes, you are right to think that way. But that's not what I'm trying to warn you about." She lets out a sigh and covers her face with her hands. "I believe Akira is hiding something from us... As always."
"...? Do you think he's manipulating us through this 'special exam'?" She nods in agreement and I continue. "Do you have any evidence of this? Or any suspicions?"
"I have no evidence or means to prove my theory. Just speculation and... intuition." Although I think she is wrong, I also can't help but disagree with her. "Don't you think it's very suspicious that Shinji, Akito and Yato went out to explore the island without telling us?"
"Koenji-kun and Toriyama-kun don't seem to care about our commands, Sae-san, if you were just talking about Shinji-kun and Yato, I could understand your suspicion." Tsubaki explained.
Nanase interrupts. "But Koenji-kun isn't doing nothing, right? Doesn't that mean he's just doing what he wants?"
"Indeed, Nanase. But..." I let out an internal sigh. "What raises suspicion about Koenji-kun is that he decided to follow Akira of his own free will and do nothing."
"Huh?"
"What he means is that Koenji-kun will only take action when Akira-kun does something." She explained.
"Koenji and Akira aren't doing nothing at the moment, does that explain your suspicion?" Tsubaki asked.
"Yes, not only that.. As I also think they are waiting for the others to return."
I think the same thing as Chabashira, this has been making me uncomfortable for a while now. If this is true and not just a coincidence, then... What is Akira trying to achieve with all this?
"I don't know what his goal is, so I need you to keep an eye on him..."

POV Reader
Classe-A...
"So what's your plan, Hitomi-chan?~" Asked a girl with magenta hair tied into double tails.
Hitomi Takahashi lets out an annoyed sigh. "What do you want from me now? Don't you think you've angered our colleagues enough?"
"Oh, come on, Hitomi-chan~ I was just bored, it's not like I wanted to irritate them for any lame reason." She smiles mischievously. "Besides, what do you think he's going to do?"
"Shini-kun? I believe he has a plan to come up with, however. I believe he won't go straight to the attack."
"Why?" She asked, her head tilted to the side, like a lost puppy.
"Do you remember that student I talked about a few moments ago?" Takahashi asked.
"That moment where Yamato-sensei told us the rules? Yes, I listened carefully. What's so special about him?" The girl asked curiously, as if she were aiming at a newly discovered prey.
"Well, you're a new student, right? It's understandable that you don't know nothing about him." She clears her throat and continues. "This student's name is Akira. Akira from Class-B. He is an extremely cunning and manipulative student."
"Manipulator?" She mutters to herself, her smile widening as she connects the dots.
"Exactly what you heard, Amasawa-san." Akane said as she approached them. "Remember that report involving the second years? So, Akira was responsible."
"Wow... I see. This is so fun~" She shakes her head in amusement, leaving Akane and Takahashi confused. "So all the other classes will get the 'class points', but what does that conflict involve?"
"Didn't you pay attention in the last meeting? He manipulated your entrance exam." She stated. "Remember 'OAA'?"
"Yes~"
"Well then. Akira received a grade of 101%, which was an impossible grade to achieve. At least, for the first month of class. However, he not only manipulated his grade but also his own 'OAA'. I have no idea how many points he spent, but... his 'OAA' grades are all 'C' or 'Null'."
"..." Amasawa hides her sinister smile with a sweet 'gentle' smile. "I see. So what happened to the second years?"
"Most were expelled." Takahashi said.
"Fufu~" She lets out a laugh, loud enough for her to hear and low enough for no one to hear her. She raised her head and smiled. "Alright then, what's the plan?"
Akane shrugs. "Shini-kun hasn't made any moves so far, I believe he's been waiting for an opportunity."
Takahashi turned her head to the side. "Does this have something to do with Akira?"
"No." Akane shook her head. "I mean, a little, though. Not only does it involve him but all the class leaders, including Hosen."
"Gorilla-kun?~" Amasawa let out a playful laugh, leaving the two stunned by the nickname she gave to her enemy. "Fufu~ Don't look at me like that, it's embarrassing~"
Akane lets out a sigh.
'If she says that in front of him, she'll end up dying in her first week of school.' Akane thought.
Takahashi shakes her head and turns around. "Well, depending on what his plan is. He asked for my help to regroup our class, let me know if you need help." She waved to them before leaving.
"Thank you, Hitomi-san." Akane waved her hands. She turns and faces Amasawa. "Are you busy?"
"Mm~ No, I don't have a group yet."
"Good. I would like to ask for your help. We need to find water and food." She rubbed her chin as she thought.
"Water, I think it's possible~"
"I hope you're not thinking about seawater." Akane's face twitched.
"Opss...~" She smiles.
"Hahh..."
'What am I going to do with this one?'

POV Hosen
We stared at Akira as he disappeared from view, probably returning to his group.
"So..." I turned to face her. "What do you think?"
"Phew..." She lets out a sigh. "I don't know, it seems too good to be true."
We agree on that.
"But..." She continues. "I don't think your decision was a mistake, if that's what you're trying to tell me about."
I snorted at her response. "Don't give me that shit. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about."
She shrugs. "If he's lying? I don't think so. That's not part of him." My eyes closed to millimeters, squinting at her. Making her frown in discomfort. "What? You think I fell in love with him?"
"Kuku. I never said this, but as you've made clear, you're fucking in love with him." I decided to provoke her, to get some results. Which doesn't work out what I expected, she just covers her hand with her face and shakes her head.
"That's not it, you idiot. Akira doesn't strike me as someone who lies, he just acts cunningly when it's convenient. And no, I'm not in love with him. He's not my type, although he is very attractive."
"Ha! If that's what you believe, fine, no need to be embarrassed." I turn away, ignoring her irritated look. "Let's get them ready."
"Prepare them? Don't tell me-"
"Exactly what you heard..." I interrupt her with an evil smile. "Let's invade Class-B's territory."
Her eyes widen in disbelief before flashing me a mischievous smile. "I see where this is going."
"I think yes."
She jumps to the side in excitement.
"Just letting you know that we still haven't taken perfect care of the situation in our class."
I already imagined she would say that from the beginning.
"Don't worry about the details, I'm sure we can work this out one way or another." I frowned with a huge smile.

POV Hito
let out a huge yawn while stretching, Lara, who was next to me, looked at me sideways.
"Is this time for bed?" She frowned, displeased. "Then what you will do?"
"Huh?" I looked at her in disbelief. "How?"
"Isn't that obvious? You have nowhere to go, depending on what happens in this exam, you'll have to help our class." She explains. "However, knowing you, you won't make the slightest effort, right?"
I shrugged. "I don't know what you're talking about, I'm just an ordinary student, not a demigod."
She pursed her lips. "You understand me, this is a perfect exam to make us move up in class. We can't let our guard down even for an instant."
"Yes, I know. It's not like we have enough time to cut onion skins." I joked, resulting in me being slapped on the back of the head. "Ow~"
"Idiot."
Letting out a small laugh, I walk over to our tent. Arriving close, I take out a basket and walk into the forest.
"Where do you think you're going?" Lara interrupts me.
"Sayori-chan asked me to pick some fruit near the river, so I thought it would be a great opportunity to explore some new areas."
"... You'll end up getting lost along the way, it would be easier to have a companion. We have some groups, if you want, you could choose one of them-"
"No thanks. I'll do it myself." I stop her, raising my hand close to her face before lowering it and turning around. "Tell Leo I'll need his help before sunset."
"Leo? What will you need his help for?"
"That he will know." I responded with a riddle. "By then, I'll be back. Bye!"
I knew she would try to get some words out of me if I didn't respond to her "expectations", so she would ask several questions until she was convinced. That's why I chose this type of work.
As I searched the forest a bit, I noticed that the fruits had a good color. You could tell that many were not poisonous, including the blackberries. I raise my hands and collect them one by one, analyzing them and placing them in the basket, to make sure I don't end up mixing the poisonous fruits with the good ones.
Of course, I won't leave these fruits lying on the floor, it would be a waste. I prefer to harvest and fertilize them, after all. Like what use am I going to make of poisonous fruits?
"Phew... I think that will be enough." I sighed in relief before getting up from the floor and holding the basket in my hands. "I wonder how much sugar it takes to-!"
*Crack*
Hearing the sound of breaking branches, I hide behind the trees. I waited for a few seconds before the person landed on the ground, he wasn't close to me and didn't even seem to have noticed me. Raising my hand, I pull the branch to the side, giving me a good look at the face of the person in front of me.
"According to the direction of the sun, the West is right there, that is, I am... towards the southwest of the island..." He takes a pencil and starts scratching the sheet, which I assume is a map that he is doing. "Right... It's not too far from here."
So their territory is close to here? That would be a problem, I need to investigate this as quickly as possible, however, I can't do that. Not today. If I'm correct in thinking, they are preparing themselves, probably so they don't get caught in a trap. Or that there is an intruder.
"Okay... I think I better get back soon, it's starting to get dark..." He muttered before turning around and running towards the woods.
Out of curiosity, I leave my basket on the floor and decide to follow him right behind. If I'm correct, he must have memorized a good part of this island, detailing it while scribbling that map, meaning he's going back to his class and warning them. What it boils down to is that I can't let my guard down, if they're already preparing, that means there's a chance we'll be caught off guard the next morning, maybe not tomorrow, but maybe the third day... or in the near future.
And that's why I can't let this information go for free, even if it's not much, I can at least know where their territory is.
*Tap*
I run at full speed, causing my hair to fly back as a gust of wind hits my face. The sound of my footsteps pounding and stepping on the grass echoes in my ears. I have to be careful, if he notices that I'm following him, I'll be left without valuable information. Although that I may know in the future.
At least I thought it would be easy...
"What...?" I slowed my steps and dragged my foot across the ground, leaving a trail on the ground. Turning around, I look around the forest. "Where did he go?"
His footprints ended here and I don't see any other tracks or footprints of his, as if he was already planning to flee without leaving any traces or clues for anyone exploring the place. However, this kind of trick doesn't work for me. I jumped onto a tree and started climbing the branches. Sparing the effort, I look around the surface and see him jumping from branch to tree, making me smile and let go of the branch I was holding. Making me land on top of a branch, while I jumped from branch to branch. The person I'm chasing is not just any person, he seems to understand survival perfectly, not only that, but he also created a way to deceive the person who happens to be in the middle of the trail he passed.
I know that.
I noticed the broken branches and the footprints being covered by the dirt. It's pretty efficient, I'd say. If it weren't for me, I would be lost in the forest. Which is impossible to happen.
"Oh... A river?" I whispered before stopping moving and watching my target's next move. He was crouched on the ground while holding a branch in his hands and scratching the ground. I was hiding next to the trees, close to the leaves. However, just as I was trying to get a good look at what he was doing, he quickly turned towards me, which instinctively made me hide in the leaves. "Heh... heheh... It seems I underestimated your keen instincts."
He almost reminded me of Akira.
Tilting my head to the side, I look in the corner of my eyes as he stretches and throws the branch he used to the ground. He jumps onto the rock and starts running again, which I do the same before jumping off the tree and landing on the ground.
"It looks like we've arrived..." I observed, noticing that there was a river next door and some students around, including I see Akira sitting near a log next to a student with blonde hair. "What he is doing?"
I couldn't help but be curious about Akira's planning, if he is indeed preparing something against our Classes. If that is the case, the chances of victory over our class are almost zero. Even with my help, I couldn't consider that I could beat him, it would be a battle of equals.
To be specific, it would be a 50/50 chance.
I scratched my head in frustration before turning around and following my roundabout. Now that I know where they are, I don't need to stay here any longer, it will only end up drawing their attention to me.
I started running until I reached the same place where I was, my basket was still on the floor and looked like it hadn't been touched or moved from the floor. Which is already a good sign.
"Hahh... I wonder what they prepared for us." I muttered, thinking about Lara and my classmates. As soon as I turn around, I see a person standing in front of me with her arms crossed. "...I thought I said I didn't need help."
She frowned, a little offended by my response. "Don't be stupid. It's getting dark, you idiot. What did you expect?"
She's right, looking at the sky, it seems a little dark to me.
"I apologize for the concern, it took a while to separate the good fruits from the poisonous ones, so judge me." I hold the basket towards her, pretending to be offended, making her look up.
"Did you really do that?"
"Why do you seem surprised by this?"
"I mean..." She rubs her chin gently with her fingers. "You never cared about that kind of thing..."
"..." I tilted my head to the side, it took a while, but I started to understand. "Don't worry, I'm not inhuman. Now let's go."
"...Eh?" Her eyes widen in surprise as I walk past her and carry the basket of fruit in my hands. "Before we progress..."
She quickens her steps and stays next to me, following my steps next to each other.
"Did something happen while I was gone?" I asked, curiously.
"No, nothing at the moment." She shakes her head and rolls her eyes in my direction. "What I wanted to know was if you found anything interesting."
I see.
I nodded. "I didn't find nothing that would help us, however, I can assume that we are being spied on." Saying this, her steps slow down and she stops, forcing me to do the same and turn my head to the side, looking into her eyes.
"What are you insinuating?"
"I'm trying to say that, it's possible that there is someone exploring this island, right now."
"This is impossible."
"Saying that it would be impossible is what makes it impossible to imagine." I frowned.
She raises an eyebrow, realizing I'm serious. "Can you prove that to me?"
"No, but I can warn you that I felt another presence as I searched every leaf and tree I found." I declared.
I'm not lying, there was more than one presence at that moment. In my theory, there would be two spies.
"Hmm... That sucks. If what you say is true, then we're at a disadvantage. For now." She sighs before walking past me, making me follow close behind.
"Do you have any plans?"
"No... I need to think a little." She rubs her temples.
"I recommend keeping someone on watch overnight, just in case." I said, she nods in agreement with my point.

POV Akira
I was sitting on a tree trunk next to the river, I thought it would be good to take a break. At least, that would be what I would call a break. So far, I've caught 3 fish, it's not a lot, but it's not a little either.
"Akira-dono." I hear a voice behind me, turning my head to the side and looking over my shoulder, I see Shinji, he was crouched next to me with his legs bent on the floor. He takes out a paper and places it next to me. "We searched the entire island and found spots that would be of interest to you."
A smile appeared on my lips at his response.
"I believe so, I appreciate the help, Shinji." He nods before standing up and sitting on my right side. "...Would you like to try?"
"Huh?" He looks confused at the fishing rod in my hands before smiling and shaking his head. "Of course, I've never done this before in my life."
"There are two of us, apparently..." I let out a tired sigh.
"What's that ugly face, Akira? Come on, you're doing much better than anyone who tried fishing." Hiro said, pointing to the students behind us, who looked exhausted. "I know, you only caught 3 fish, however, look at the size of this one. That's an impressive feat in itself."
He takes the fish out of the bucket and lifts it in his arms, the fish was no more than 77cm long.
"I know, Hiro, it's just a bit tiring. I think now I understand why they talk so much about having patience and concentration when fishing." I fixed my hat.
"Okay..." Shinji muttered to himself, he grabbed some bait and put it on the hook. He holds it by the handle and swings it back and forth, before throwing the hook toward the lake. "I think I'm starting to understand..."
"When the fish is about to take the bait, don't be hasty. Pull it slowly and release, this will make the fish tired." I explained, making him nod. Satisfied with our interaction, I take the handle of my fishing rod and place it on the ground. I stretched before feeling someone's presence, I looked at a tree in the corner of my eyes. I might not be seeing anything, though. I feel like someone is watching us from afar. "Good..."
"Mmm?"
I extend my arms and take the paper that Shinji left next to me and put it in my pocket.
"I'm not going to do nothing, Shinji, that's how I said it before."
"You won't, but you will make them do it for you. Of that I'm sure." He stated with a smile on his face.
"What do you think Chabashira-san and Riku-kun will do, Akira-kun?" Yato asked, he was lying on a beach chair.
"I don't feel like ruining your surprise." I threw a lump of coal on the fire. "But if I had to make a deduction, it would be spectacular."
Akito lets out a laugh at my response and crosses his arms. "'Spectacular' you say? Sometimes I don't understand your game."
"Don't worry, it won't be difficult, I'm sure you'll understand little by little."
"Fufu~" Hiro laughs ironically and leans on the chair. "It's inevitable, you won't make any tragedy."
"Tragedy? I think you meant something else-" He cuts me off.
"You understood me."
"..." I smiled, raising my arms, I remove the hat from my head and walk towards my tent, before being stopped by Yato.
"Wait, Akira." He stops me, making me turn my head. "I didn't ask this before but... What are you going to do about Chabashira and the others?"
"Now that you say that..." Akito chimes in. "That's right, wouldn't they immediately become suspicious when they noticed our interactions?"
Shinji who was fishing, just laughed in response. Along with Hiro who just puts his hands behind his head, supporting his head.
I smiled and replied. "For the obvious reason, they already suspect our intentions." Stating, his eyes widen a little.
"Are you serious?" I nodded. "This is a problem?"
"No, actually it would just be annoying." I shrugged. "On the contrary, it would only give me the advantage."
"Okay... What's the riddle?" Yato asked.
"They will be spying on me, while you will do your best to help the Class. I will only help you indirectly." I held a piece of paper to my fingertips, making them look at the paper I held. "I just send you a message, it's that easy."
"No, it's not that easy." Akito said. "If they're going to be monitoring us both night and day, what would be the point in communicating with us through...messages?"
"Haven't you noticed yet?" A provocative smile appeared on my lips. "Sae and Riku may be the leaders of our Class, however. They still don't have the trust of our classmates."
"...Wait! You don't mean..."
"Heh... Correct." My smile widens. "Although it's not much, a good part of our Class trusts me more than Riku and Sae."
"So how do you know who's trustworthy or not?" Yato asked.
"You'll soon know." I turn around before throwing a can of soda in his direction, where he catches it with his hands and removes the piece of paper that was stuck to it. "Let's go our own ways for now, until then, do whatever it takes. Have a good night."
I kept moving until I reached my tent, I extended my arms and lowered the zip of my tent, giving me a good view of some books next to my bed. I breathe a sigh of relief and close my tent behind me, I slide my hands into the bottom hem of my shirt and pull it up, exposing my bare pecs. Throwing my shirt on the floor, I squat down and bend my knees, I turn my body before lying down on the bed.
Of course, I didn't forget my goal. I just wanted to lie down for a bit and reflected on my mind, if I want this plan to work, I need to meditate and concentrate. Right now, I am creating 209 plans simultaneously. Among these 209, only 114 can fail or do not work very well. Now among the remaining 95, they might even make it, though. It has some loopholes and may end up failing in the end. So I need to be 100% sure it works.
"Hah..." I sighed and lifted my top, slipping my hand into my pockets, I took out the paper that Shinji had handed me. "Okay... Let's see how this goes."
Opening the piece of paper, I see a detailed map, every record and every piece of information told from the middle to the end. There are 7 flags, among the 4, they have already been obtained by our classes. According to the rules, each of these flags can get 10 points. Therefore, in 1 day we can obtain 30 points for a single flag, and among the 7 flags, we can obtain 210 points. Specifying; To occupy a field, a keycard is required. Once it is occupied, you have to wait for the time to run out, which in this case takes 8 hours. Each day has 24 hours, 3 occupations are required each day. Result in 30 points per day.
I bite the bottom corner of my cheek. "I think I'm going to have to make a mess."

POV Hosen
Looking up at the hazy sky, I can feel the force of the wind hitting my body. Which means it will rain soon, maybe tomorrow morning.
"Kukuku... Everything is ready." I started to laugh mischievously before turning around and facing my companion. "What do you think?"
She grimaces at my question. "Are you really asking me? *Sigh* Okay... I believe it's a good plan, although I'm still curious if you really believe in it."
"I don't believe him, but I can't miss an opportunity like this. You saw what he said before, right?"
She crosses her arms. "Are you talking about him not participating in this exam? I heard. But I don’t completely trust him."
I snorted at her response. "I don't blame you for being suspicious, but I believe he's not lying."
"Are you sure? He didn't trick them before?"
"That’s why we went after him without knowing his abilities." I raise my hands. "It was like he said; arrogance has a greater price."
"And then?"
"If it really is a trap, then we will fall into the trap." I said, leaving her stunned by my response.
"W-Wait a minute...Wouldn't that be a stupid idea?" She fidgets as I walk towards our class. "Hey! Explain it to me! This could become a problem for our class."
I showed her a huge smile on my face. "If it is a trap, so be it, because I have also prepared a counterattack."
She looks at me in disbelief, her eyes widening a little before pursing her lips. "Hmm... I don't know what kind of plan you're coming up with, but I hope this isn't something that will lose us points."
"Do you think I would do such a thing?" I asked, knowing the answer.
She raises an eyebrow in response, looking at me with those eyes that say 'Are you serious?'.
"This is quite obvious."
"So you're right to think that way, though..." I walked past her and retrieved an ax from the table and rested it on my back. "You are wrong, I will not commit any act of violence." For now.
"That's surprising to see you say that..." She mutters and lets out a laugh as she approaches me. "Your words are as true as a fish breathing out of water."
"Pff... Fuck you."
"Hah! Sorry, I just thought it was weird seeing a side of you like that... like that." She points at me, as if to say I've changed.
"Make no mistake, I'm still the same as I am and was before." I pull out the ax and lift it into the air, bending my arm, I squeeze the handle with my fist and land a blow on the tree trunk. "However, you wanted to tell me something, right?"
