God
(Last day of the exam)
I woke up early again, ever since I planned out my strategy, I have to keep my eye on the time. Exactly 2 hours before each spot resets, I make a mental note of the time. I rather not make it obvious to the others what I'm doing, so for an hour and 30 minutes, I decided to see how I can help around our camp. Every time I would wake up in the morning, it's roughly around 5 in the morning, and nobody else is awake.
I was already extremely tired this specific morning, yesterday the girls wanted someone to watch over their camp for the night. Hirata volunteered for the role, but of course, at some point, he would get tired, which is where I stepped in. I decided to overlook the girl's camp for Hirata, as he went back to our own camp to rest.
As for waking up early in the morning, I have a strategy for that as well. Sadly, our watch doesn't have a feature for a timer, so I had to improvise. A person could train their body to wake up at a certain time, if they slept at the same time every day, and woke up at a specific time. However, that may not always work, so to wake up early every day, I drink a bottle of water right before going to bed. Drinking a bottle of water before bed guarantees that your body will wake itself up since you need to use the bathroom. If it doesn't work, then you probably wet the bed.
Anyways, as I stepped out of the tent, I saw how the clouds were looming over me. Seems like it's going to rain...
For my first course of action, I took a shower and ate a bit of the fruit which we still had. After getting ready, I started making my way over to the first spot I had acquired.
(Timeskip)
I had just finished regaining control of the second spot, as I was making my way back to camp, I brought to light a new discovery. A field of corn was right in front of me, I proceeded to take my sweater off and use it as a makeshift bag.
As I was gathering up all the corn, I didn't miss the clouds that appeared over me. This may be problematic....
(Timeskip)
When I finally did arrive at our camp, I set the corn down with the remaining fruit we still had. I made my over to the final machine and claimed it once again. With nothing left to do, I decided to wake up with my classmates.
I made my way over to our tent and proceeded to open it.
Light: "Hey, you guys gonna sleep all day or what?"
Sudou: "Man just let me sleep...."
Light: "Jesus, no wonder you're always late to class."
At this point, a few of the other boys were waking up.
Sudou: "Yeah, yea-wait, what did you say?!"
All of the boys immediately woke up with Sudou's yelling.
Light: "Thanks for that, you made my job easier."
I stepped out of the tent, and Hirata was the first one to join me.
Hirata: "Good morning, Yagami-kun."
Light: "Morning, Hirata.'
Hirata looked up to the sky and noticed the clouds.
Hirata: "Oh, well it looks like it's going to rain."
Light: "Yeah, seems that way. I would suggest waking up the girls and doing our tasks right now as opposed to later, so we don't get caught in the rain."
Hirata: "Yeah, that seems like a good idea."
Light: "Oh before I forget, I was able to collect some corn. I placed it right next to the fruit that we had leftover from yesterday."
Hirata: "I see, thank you Yagami-kun."
A bit of time afterward, Hirata was telling people what to do for the day. I was put into a group with Horikita, Kikyou, Airi, and Yamauchi. We would be looking for more fruit.
I noticed that one student was standing all by themselves.
Light: "Hey Ibuki, why don't you join us?"
Ibuki: "Huh, me?"
Light: "Yeah, I feel like we could use an extra set of hands. So, what do you say?"
Ibuki: "Alright, your class has done a lot for me, so I'll show my thanks to you."
I noticed the bag which Ibuki had slung over her shoulder. Seems like she might just be making things easier for me.
With Ibuki in our group, we started making our way into the forest. I noticed how Yamauchi looked as if he was trying to make his way over to Airi's side which I immediately denied.
Light: "Hey, Airi, how are you doing?"
Airi: "Oh, just fine..."
Light: "Well, it seems like the weather is acting up."
Airi: "Yeah, I don't want to get in the rain. But, in the past, I was able to take beautiful pictures of the rain from my window. It can sometimes look really magnificent depending on the point you take a photo."
Light: "Wow, you sure are versed in the environment."
I leaned in and whispered to Airi's ear.
Light: "I guess beautiful things attract one another, right?"
Airi: "Wha-I umm....thank you Light-kun...."
Airi was blushing and Yamauchi appeared to be pissed.
(Timeskip)
We ended up near a lake, as we were searching for any type of fruit. It was most common to find berries in this forest. We wanted to make sure we had enough food for the rest of the day, as this would be our final day on this island. It was fun while it lasted I guess, but the true fun will begin tomorrow.
Kikyou: "It really was a bit stressful for the first few days, right Horikita-san?"
Horikita: "It was only stressful when we didn't have a proper plan to overcome this exam. Of course, that changed when he decided to lead us."
Horikita looked over to me as she responded to Kikyou.
Kikyou: "Yeah, that is true. Thank you so much Light-kun!"
Light: "It was really no problem, I just wanted to help our class out the best I could."
Horikita: "I have to admit it, because of you we are one step closer to overtaking Class A."
Light: "Still focused on that goal?"
Horikita responded with a firm "yes".
Okay, enough messing around. On to the next step.
I walked over to Yamauchi.
Light: "Hey how are you doing?"
Yamauchi: "Man, you're so lucky."
Light: "Really now?"
Yamauchi: "Yes, you turned into an ikeman at this point. All the girls are constantly fawning over you, I mean what the hell? At this point, you're even on a first-name basis with many of the girls!"
Light: "Well, how about this. Since you appear to be really pissed off at me, you can push me into the river."
Yamauchi: "Really?! Hell yea!"
Yamauchi, with no hesitation, pushed me into the river. This got the attention of the rest of our group.
Light: "Jesus, I wasn't being serious. Ah, whatever what's done is done."
I got out of the river and made my way over to the females of our group. Coincidentally, the key card was visible from the right pocket of my jacket. Which gave Ibuki a clear sight of it.
Kikyou: "What happened Light-kun, did you and Yamauchi-kun fight?"
Light: "No, it was just a dumb joke."
Horikita: "You should take off that sweater. You'll catch a cold."
Light: "Yeah, you're right."
(Timeskip)
After we arrived back at our camp, I put my sweater on a rock and went to help assist Sudou and Ike with fishing.
Light: "Hey, how's it going?"
Ike: "Yagami! what's up?"
Light: "Nothing much and you?"
Ike: "Well not as good. Sudou can barely catch any fish."
Sudou: "Hey, I'm trying my best here!"
Light: "Well let me help you."
I grabbed a fishing rod and some bait as well.
Ike: "So?"
Light: "Hm?"
Ike: "Do you already have a girlfriend?"
Light: "No, sadly not yet. What about you Sudou?"
Sudou: "Nah"
Light: "Do you at least have someone you like?"
Sudou: "Not really"
Ike: "C'mon you have to have at least one person Ken!"
Light: "And you Ike?"
Ike: "Of course, Kikyou-chan is my ideal girlfriend! Man, just think about coming home every day to Kikyou-chan. Her body is amazing."
(In no man's land)
Ike: "Honey I'm home!"
A lovely wife welcomes her husband wearing a maid outfit.
Kikyou: Welcome home master! Would you like to take a bath first, or maybe have dinner, or.....would you like to have...me?"
(Back to reality)
Ike was drooling, so I decided to start speaking again.
Light: "Hey, what about Shinohara?"
Ike: "What?!"
Light: "You always argue like you just broke up or something."
Ike: "Hell no!"
Light: "Wouldn't you classify her as a tsundere. I mean, for now, she treats you coldly and in the future, she will start showing affection towards you."
Ike: "Tsuderes are actually cute! Shinohara is the ugliest girl in our class...I mean theirs now way that I would fall for her! She's so ugly, she probably hasn't had a boyfriend yet! Right, Ken?"
Sudou: "Nah, I agree with Yagami. You probably have a crush on her, you just are denying it."
Ike: "What?! No way, my two best friends turn on me, just like that?!"
Light: "I'm just saying the truth."
(Timeskip)
After I finished fishing, I went to claim the spots once more. With my sweater left behind, it was only a matter a time before Ibuki would make her move. After I went back to our camp, I claimed the third and final spot once more. I then proceeded to go to my sweater which appeared to now be dry. I checked inside my pocket and felt the key card inside it.
Sure enough, Ibuki made her move. When I set down my sweater on the rock, I had slightly adjusted the key card to be leaning a bit towards the right. When I checked it right now, it was centered in the middle of my pocket. The trick is no different than the one I used for the door handle.
Everything was falling into place, now I just need to wait.
(Timeskip)
My classmates had gone to sleep. I quietly made my way over to the entrance of the tent and opened it. I exited and started making my way back into the forest to claim the spots one last time. As I was walking through the forest, the rain was pouring down on me. However, in the distance, I heard talking.
"I have the picture right here."
I instinctively hid in the bushes as I was overhearing this conversation.
"Hmm, nice work Ibuki. With this, we have exactly everything that we need to beat this exam."
I heard another person start walking towards Ibuki and whoever was with her.
"Well, you finally decided to show up Katsuragi."
I peered behind the bushed as I recognized Ryuuen from Class C.
Katsuragi: "So, where is it?"
Ryuuen: "Right here."
Ryuuen proceeded to hand over the camera.
Katsuragi: "Looks like the real thing."
Ryuuen: "Are you satisfied now?"
Katsuragi: "I'll start making my way back now."
As Katsuragi started back in the direction he came from Ryuuen spoke again.
Ryuuen: "I also know Class B's leader, wouldn't you like to know?"
Katsuragi: "Unless you have physical evidence, I won't listen."
Ryuuen: "What a shame."
With that, Katsuragi left the scene.
Ryuuen: "Well I don't need you anymore. You can go ahead and join our other classmates now."
After their ordeal had finished, I left to go claim the other spots.
(Timeskip)
When I finished claiming the last spot, I needed someone I could trust to become the leader. I opened our tent and woke up Hirata.
Light: "Hey, Hirata wake up, I need to talk to you about something."
Hirata: "Mmm...Yagami-kun? What's happening...?"
Light: "It's something important."
Hirata and I made our way over to the forest.
Hirata: "What is it Yagami-kun?"
Light: "I'm dropping out of the exam."
(Timeskip)
I made my over to the beach which is where the teacher's tent was located. I spotted Chabashira and made my way over to her. As I walked alongside Hirata, I spotted Hoshinomiya as well.
Chabashira: "Yagami, Hirata, what are you both doing here?"
Light: "I came to drop out of the exam."
Hoshinomiya: "Oh no, what happened Yagami-kun?"
Light: "If I'm honest, I caught a cold and my head hurts horribly."
Chabashira: "I see, but you both are aware this will cost your class 30 points, correct?"
Light: "Yes, I am aware."
Chabashira: "If that's your decision, then it's final."
Light: "Oh, I almost forgot."
I brought out my key card and placed it on the table.
Light: "I brought Hirata here to make him the leader."
Chabashira: "Very well then."
After Hirata was officially appointed as leader, he went back to our camp, which left me alone with my two teachers.
Chabashira: "What is it you're truly planning?"
Hoshinomiya: "Oh, what is it Sae-chan, does Yagami-kun have a strategy for this exam?"
Chabashira: "That's what I believe, he's a very capable student, so I wouldn't be surprised."
Light: "Thank you for the compliment Sensei. But, I'm afraid you'll both have to wait until tomorrow to find out."
Hoshinomiya: "Oh~a surprise! I'm really looking forward to it!"
I am too.
(Morning)
I had just gotten ready in my room. I was informed by Chabashira that we could watch the results of the exam on the TV in our room.
I turned my TV on and sure enough, I could see the students lining up as the end had finally come. I saw how Ryuuen came out of the forest as the only person from Class C remaining, of course, everyone was completely shocked and Ryuuen appeared to have a cocky smile.
The Class A teacher, Masahima stepped onto the podium and he started speaking with a microphone in hand.
Masahima: "Over this past week, we observed your efforts as classes. As groups, you did a splendid job working together and finding solutions to problems. The results were splendid for this exam, good job."
The students seemed to relax with Masahima's words.
Masahima: "Now, I will reveal the results of each class."
The mood seemed to immediately tense up.
Masahima: "The lowest class is Class C, with zero points."
I could see how shocked Ryuuen appeared to be.
Masahima: "In third place is Class A with 120 points. Coming in second place in Class B, with 160 points."
Everyone appeared to be shocked and I could feel my own heart pumping as the end had finally come.
Masahima: "And in first place Class D..."
Even Masahima appeared a bit surprised with the result.
"..with 313 points."

(Hirata's POV)
As we were on the boat going back to the cruise, my class was extremely excited. I was too, I mean it's amazing how many points we accumulated.
Ike: "I still don't get it! Can someone please explain?!"
Kushida: "I agree with Kanji, does anyone know what actually happened with our points?"
I decided to speak up for my friend. He deserves recognition after what he accomplished for our class after all.
"It was Yagami-kun, who did it."
Kushida: "It was Light?"
"Yes, he didn't explain his plan to me in full detail, but he's the reason for us getting as many points as we did."
(Flashback)
"Huh? Y-Yagami-kun, why are you dropping out?"
No, why? I wanted us to get the best possible result.....the others might be mad.....but I can't say no to someone who wants to drop out.....
Light: "I need you to trust me on this Hirata. I have a plan, all I need is you to turn into the leader once I drop out, can you do that?"
"I-I can do that...I trust you Yagami-kun....you want what's best for the class....but what do I tell the others?"
Light: "When they wake up, tell them that everything will be explained during the results. If they still have questions they can ask me directly. I'm counting on you, Hirata."
Hirata: "Alright, I'll do my best."
Light: "One last thing, the leader for Class A is Yahiko and for Class C it's Ryuuen."
I was stunned, how did he know?
(Flashback End)
Ike: "Seriously? That's my man! I always knew he could do something great like this!"
"Oh my god! He's perfect!"
"How should we thank him?"
"We have to find him first."
My classmates, mainly the girls started to converse. And the main topic of all the discussions was Light Yagami.
(Timeskip & POV change)
I was on the top deck of the cruise. I feel as though I'm about to be bombarded with questions.
I saw Chabashira making her way over to me.
Light: "Well, what do you think Sensei?"
Chabashira: "That was a magnificent result. I'm pleased, you really are extraordinary, Light Yagami..................or should I say Light Ayanokouji?"
Well, she already knew. Not really a surprise to me.
Light: "You knew Sensei?"
Chabashira: "Of course, but I have no plan to share what I know, so you don't have to worry about it. Just keep doing what you do and we'll both get along just fine."
Light: "Thank you for not sharing that information, it's really sensitive stuff which might make things more difficult."
Chabashira: "Well seems like you have company, I'll take my leave now."
Sure enough, my entire class minus Koenji had gathered at the top deck.
Light: "How's it going, guys?"
I suddenly found myself overwhelmed with questions.
"How did you do it?!"
"What happened?"
"How are you so smart?"
"What did you even do?!"
Hirata: "Wait, guys a single question at a time. I'll ask for everyone, what did you do Yagami-kun?"
Light: "Simple, I correctly guessed the leader of Classes A and C. Then every single day, I would claim 3 different spots for one point a spot. Every 8 hours they would reset, so I simply went back to regain them once more. It was just basically that."
My class was stunned.
"Dude, you're so awesome."
"You're really intelligent!"
"Amazing!"
I ended up chatting more than I thought I would with my classmates.
(Timeskip)
I was walking on the top deck, as I was approached by Kikyou. During the time I was talking with my other classmates, she had hardly said a word.
And now here we are, alone.
Light: "Kikyou?"
Kikyou: "Light..."
Kikyou dug her face into my chest
Light: "Are you feeling alright? Their nobody else here right now. As I said before, you can lean on me..."
Kikyou: "You really are amazing aren't you...Light? Easily conversing with people and being extremely intelligent to find out a solution like that...I'm envious.....but I'm also happy....."
I started patting her head as I let her continue.
Kikyou: "I'm happy because.....I finally found someone that is like me.....you truly want what's best for our class and aren't afraid of anything....."
Light: "No, I am afraid of something....."
Kikyou: "And what would that be?"
Light: "Innocent people getting hurt....I can't stand to see people like you, trying to help anyone you can, but in the end, you just get hurt...I don't want you to have to suffer anymore. I promise....by the time we graduate...your life will be filled with nothing, but absolute joy...I promise..."
Kikyou: "Thank you Light, thank you...."
......

.......................The truth is this...I strive to achieve absolute greatness. Nobody will stand in my way. I will beat this school, no matter what it takes. However, that isn't my main priority.....my main priority....no my main vision is to be God. I will be absolute, my enemies will fall before me....this way, no one that is innocent has to suffer.....anyone that's truly innocent wouldn't go against me. That's the way it is..... Airi? Hiyori? Ichinose? they're innocent, people like my father however, deserve to die....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
....call me a sociopath.....I can't deny that I am one.........
