"This world is a mirror to our own minds." -Baruch Spinoza
School of The Elite S Students: Chapter 7.
[09.00] February 16
"Good Morning, today is the opening day of the class competition, which will last for four weeks..."
"Four weeks, huh?"
I'm not sure, just yesterday Tanaka Sensei said that this would last for three weeks, but today he said four weeks.
To top it off, I'm sure there will be a secret competition, which is deliberately not announced to the students, however, for now any competition is good to increase the solidarity of this class.
And also, our undirected or unknown goals are also a factor in making secret exams or competitions more visible, but not everyone can think of this.
Still, I'm making plans about students who are not up to par in terms of academic or physical skills.
About who we will fight will be given while we are traveling on the ship.
Some people like Hashimoto Yukina, I don't think he is an ordinary person, he knows my name, obviously when he knows my name he definitely won't dare to challenge me, but he is different.
Mizuha Kinoshita, a quiet girl with rumors saying that she was ranked first in the entrance exam, a mysterious and difficult girl to guess, but still, I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't fought her face to face.
Charles Smith, the leader of one of the very dominating first classes, made his debut by provoking a student from my class to fight.
However, Charles is very dangerous with his physical strength, there is no way Hashimoto and Chitose can attack me.
"With this, I declare the Class Competition officially begins!!!"
There was thunderous applause, followed by us queuing to get on the ship.

I am now on the back deck of the ship, with a view of the sea and my school island which is getting smaller.
I've taken my room, right next to Tom Carter and Kirigaya Amane's room.
This way my plan should start, starting by moving Kim Yeona to f5 (chessboard)
Bringing Lee Chaeyeon to win in her name, and my class, making my class into class 1-B is enough, it's too far for 1-S and will definitely be filled by Yukina Hashimoto.
With this I will start playing around.
"Here it turns out you are, we were looking for you."
Tom came over to me who was leaning against the ship's railing, holding a red drink in my hand.
"What is it?"
He came and leaned on the barrier next to me, holding his drink too, Tom was unusual in approaching me.
"I want to– no, I mean a classmate to take you to a cafe to party tonight, do you want to?"
Party huh? Tonight I have a few plans to meet someone, besides, a party won't be needed when you're at war, I'll decline.
"I can't tonight."
"Ah, okay then, I'm not forcing you."
He walked away from me, slightly waving his left hand upwards.
Birds flew above me, lots of birds flew but some fell, making me question a little about my statement when I was little.
Are Humans Equal?
We can see in animals where the disabled will be killed because nature is very deadly, they get bad treatment, different from normal ones, they are always on top, especially the talented ones.
But if in life there is a term that those who cannot adapt will lose to those who adapt quickly, this is also the case in this school.
Seeing that the weak are oppressed, and the strong are worshiped and respected, the weak will always be weak, and the powerful will always be powerful, whatever the time, even if it has been a decade, not a century.
The weak without strong thinking will not be able to become powerful either, because they are deliberately put under and continue to be under.
Those in power will always be respected and admired, those who are weak will try to climb to the top, but because of their shallow thinking, they will only be able to remain at the bottom.
Those in power will continue to use the weak to remain weak, I often saw people who were talented but economically challenged in racing before I entered this school.
Many people still become criminals to survive even though they know it is a bad act and if they are caught the punishment is not commensurate with what they took, but still, thieves must be arrested.
If they were equal, in economics, thinking, talent and so on, it is clear that the world would be destroyed, no one would become rich making expensive buildings unsold, there would be no great minds, there would be no theories such as Relativity, the Law of Paradox, and so on.
The absence of thieves also makes the police's job less, there is no one to lead if their thinking is the same as other humans.
What I mean by equality is only world equality, where there are many more things that could be called equality.
In other words, all this is not fair, then equality does not exist.
Equality is just nonsense, where this equality is only used to make the low remain low, because they feel equal to the high.

[20.45] February 16.
"Do you think equality exists?"
"What are you asking that for Gray Darkworth."
I was on a cruise ship, on the roof, we were in the highest position, looking down with a view of the blue glowing swimming pool.
"I'm curious."
"Huh, I'm not sure the smartest kid in middle class would ask something like this. but surely, there is no such thing as equality."
"I already guessed."
In this way, I can see his view of the world, even though he only sees two percent of it, his view is very rational.
And people who are rational tend to be smarter than people who often mix their thoughts with feelings that are not needed.
It's been a long time since I read mystery, psychology and other books that changed my perspective on the world. This world is a mirror for our own minds.
"I didn't expect that you weren't at the top of the entrance exam, was it on purpose?"
I was in thirteenth place during the entrance exam, obviously I can't be said to be the top person among the cockroaches, if I haven't entered the top ten in the entrance exam.
"It's a terrible coincidence, right? At that time I started studying less often, so it's natural."
"You're right, back then you did more racing than touching books." Yukina grinned a little.
My goal here is just to go to the invitation to meet him, after this he should ask something related to the competition.
"What is your purpose in asking me to meet here?"
"About the commander of your class, who is he?" His face with a slight smile on his mouth.
Commander yes, Kim Yeona is the commander of my class, but if she knew this it would be a problem, but why did she ask that?
Wasn't it clear during the opening ceremony that it was explained that the commander should not be known for the next four weeks?
Commanders also cannot be replaced if there is no special need or emergency. I won't give it.
"Never mind, you don't have to tell me, just think of it as a small reunion of our high school."
Whatever it is, it seems like he really wasn't serious about asking that question, wouldn't it be very suspicious if he suddenly asked that question?
"As much as I want to go back, I can't wait to fight you in the competition later, don't hold yourself back later, goodbye."
Yukina left the place, she walked down from the stairs, with a smile, as usual she was a person who was smiling but not powerful.
Was that just an unimportant conversation?
I was observing the floor below me or the swimming pool where there were still many people swimming tonight.
I turned slightly to the left, towards the small bar there, I saw a girl with black hair and purple and blue eyes.
