Book 14: Chapter 8: True Colors Revealed, Part 4
On the fifth day of my time on the uninhabited island, I encountered a lone first-year student.
Simply running into another student wasn’t a particularly unusual occurrence. If one had been left to travel as they pleased throughout such a vast, spacious island, it’s only natural that they’d eventually cross paths with someone, be they a classmate or not. But such instances were, for the most part, merely coincidences.
However, as far as this specific encounter was concerned, things were a little different. I had been contacted via a walkie-talkie I had secretly been entrusted with, and deliberately made arrangements to meet with this student ahead of time.
After all, given the circumstances, I had no other choice but to meet up in person. I was greeted with a smiling face when we finally saw one another, a smile that I responded to with my own as I drew closer.
And then, after confirming that there was nobody else in the surrounding area, I broke the ice.
“I received your report over the walkie-talkie this morning. You’re going to explain what happened, right?”
After a brief pause with no response, I decided to tack on the first-year student’s name as well.
“Yagami-kun.”
The de-facto leader of Class 1-B: Yagami Takuya.
