Book 14: Chapter 7: The First-Years Start to Move
At 9:00 PM on the sixth day of the exam, several first-year class representatives had arranged to meet up together in area F9.
The representatives in question were Class A’s Takahashi Osamu, Class B’s Yagami Takuya, Class C’s Utomiya Riku and Tsubaki Sakurako, and Class D’s Hōsen Kazuomi. It would typically be difficult for such a diverse cast of students to meet up in one location given their separate Tables, but in this case, they had decided on a time and place for the meeting before the exam even started.
Furthermore, since the chosen location was on the beach, a bonfire would serve as a reliable signal for the meeting.
Despite the fact that she hadn’t really done anything noteworthy or remarkable so far, the person who had spearheaded this get-together was… Tsubaki.
The appointed time for the meeting had already come and gone, but Hōsen still hadn’t arrived yet.
“Tsubaki-san, it seems that Hōsen-kun still hasn’t arrived yet.”
“Well, he doesn’t really seem the type to show up on time. Or maybe he’s just not coming.”
The group decided to wait a little longer to see if he would show up, but before long, Takahashi raised his hand with an arm pressed against his abdomen.
“Sorry guys… I’ve got a bit of a stomach ache so I’mma excuse myself. It… It might take a while!”
