"The purpose of life is to live wisely and reflectively." - Plato
School of the elite S Students Chapter 3 Destination (2)
***
I walked carrying suitcases and other things towards the lobby, next to me was Akane, she was carrying more things than me.
The two of us walked towards the exit, where the school had prepared a bus to take us to the pier.
I can see outside, with the transparent glass door, I can see the bus.
"Do you think we are in the same class?" Akane suddenly bumped into my body lightly, she walked with a smile.
"I don't know, there are so many people, the possibility is small." (Grey)
"Uh–" (Akane). I looked at him, his face which had been very happy was now the opposite.
***
The two of us arrived at the dock, waiting in line for the ship, looking at Akane's face, which was still the same as in the lobby.
"Want to buy a drink?" I lowered my head to level with Akane's face, when I said those words, her face responded slightly in surprise.
"B– But, the queue?" (Akane)
"Come on." I pulled Akane's hand, stepped out of the queue, I don't have any relationship with her, but this is the most effective way to deal with girls' bad moods, I don't care but she is useful.

We are on the ferry now, a big white ship that carries 200 students up here, in about a day or so we will arrive.
I walked out of the room on the ship, stepped towards the outside which was fenced off by a transparent glass fence, looking at the dark water below.
I mentioned a name other than Darkforth in front of the person who had already stored that name in his brain.
As long as he doesn't think about that, everything will be fine.
I don't want to look like the son of a conglomerate, and I'm certainly not the only son of a conglomerate.
A prestigious school located in the smartest country, what child wouldn't want to go to this school.
This school really only requires intelligence to enter, and my father didn't even spend any money.
I have to be a little wary at this school, I'm not very good at fighting, racing, sports, I only excel at intelligence, and I also have doubts about that.
"It turns out you're here, I was looking for you inside earlier." Akane approached me, stepped and stopped next to me, placing both pliers on the fence.
"Is the reunion finished?" (Grey)
"Actually not yet." Akane was a little uneasy. "But it doesn't matter, I want to be with you." (Akane)
"Akane, do you think there will be people who will look down on others at this prestigious school?" (Grey)
"Do you think it's just uneducated fools who often intimidate others? even an artist can intimidate others." (Akane)
"Oh, I see." (Grey)
"And yes, I wanted to ask you something." (Akane)
"What's that?" (Grey)
Akane slightly pressed her body against mine, she slightly moved closer to me.
"Is your hobby just reading?" (Akane)
"You could say I also like chess, but not very well, my rating is only 278 in online chess." (Grey)
"Oh, I see." (Akane)
"What about the name dark–" (Akane)
"Hi, Excuse me sorry." a girl's voice, I looked over my shoulder, saw a girl with yellow hair on top and a little orange on the bottom.
"Ah, yes, what's wrong?" (Akane)
"Uhm, are you his girlfriend?" She was a little hesitant when asking, her gaze had no point, she was on the verge of being embarrassed.
"Ah, no, we are just close friends." Akane widened her smile, made a move and shook her head while saying no.
"Can I get to know you?"
"You don't need to ask me that, of course you can." (Akane)
"I, Kim Yeo-na from South Korea." (Kim Yeona)
"I'm Gray Darkword." (Grey)
"Nice to meet you Grey." We both shook hands, before long he said he wanted to go to the toilet, and immediately walked away from me.
"Did you know that two South Korean women have met you today?" Akane hit my shoulder, she hit my shoulder seven times while laughing.
"Grey, why are you hiding your Darkforth name?" (Akane) she faced the dark sea again, placing her pliers on the railing.
"Do you know what family that is?" (Grey)
"No." (Akane)
"Then look for it with your cellphone before collecting it at school." (Grey)

KIM YEO-NA'S POV:
Earlier, I couldn't believe there was a man with a handsome face, black hair, brown eyes mixed with gold.
I was looking in the mirror in the toilet, seeing my face which had brown eyes, yellow hair with a little orange at the bottom.
And the girl next to him, if I'm not mistaken, is Akane Nakagawa, the person who placed third in the school entrance test.
If it's like that, should I be able to surpass that triple warning? – wait Yeona, you are ranked thirty-second.
Vwomp!!! *Sound of ship horn.
Speaker: The students are asked to gather on the main deck of the ship, we ask you to gather at 05.45.
Ah, it's time, I have to go to the main deck.
AKANE NAKAGAWA'S POV:
"That's why you hide your name?" We walked towards the main deck after hearing the announcement.
My heartbeat trembled a little.
I turned to my side, looked into Grey's eyes, he was very calm, to the point of expressionless.
"Yeah, but now you know." (Grey)
"I will hide it for you." (Akane)
"Can promises be kept that easily?" (Grey)
"I'll cover that for you." (Akane)
"Okay, I believe it." (Grey)

GRAY DARKFORTH'S POV:
"Please line up, sign at the table near the entrance to the lobby, and pick up your class card." The voice using the loudspeaker had been just babbling.
Many have already registered and are lining up to wait for speeches from school representatives.
"This is for you."
"Thank You." I took my class card, and went to line up in my class line.
Looking down at the class card, it shows I'm in class 1-2 (No A, B, C, D, E yet)
Looking for my class line, looking around me, when I turned a little to the right I saw the class 1-2 board.
I immediately went there.
"Good. Test 1...2, Good morning everyone. Today the principal has urgent business and cannot make a speech in front of you."
"I will replace him. I will start the first speech for you students."
I didn't really listen to his rubbish speech, I was a little less focused because I saw Akane in the row of girls in my class, there was also the Korean girl with golden hair.
I looked back at the person who was giving a speech.
"You are great people because you can enter this school, you will be the next generation in your respective countries." .
