Upon hearing Vegeta's plan, not only Sayaka but also Kenzo and Junko were left puzzled. They couldn't quite grasp the reasoning behind Vegeta's seemingly random selections.
However, being seasoned individuals, Kenzo and Makoto quickly pieced together what was happening. They observed Vegeta's selection of four beautiful women, and considering that Sayaka and Miku were also quite attractive, they began to speculate on his intentions.
Vegeta, meanwhile, paid no heed to their suspicions. His motives were multi-layered.
First and foremost, he had a personal interest. He found Sayaka and Miku quite charming and wanted them close by. Additionally, the four women, including Saya, could be considered the "main characters" of this world. Their abilities and luck were presumably quite good. Having them around could increase the chances of Sayaka and Miku surviving this ordeal.
However, Vegeta wasn't just acting out of goodwill. He had made it clear that the group's final rewards would be split 50/50, ensuring that he got his fair share.
Another reason for his choices was to test a hypothesis. Vegeta wondered if "protecting" these main characters would trigger any hidden quests or benefits. By having the four follow Sayaka and Miku, not only would the four protect the two, but they would also gain a degree of protection themselves—a win-win situation.
Moreover, among the group, Kenzo was the most likely to survive, aside from Vegeta himself. He had been through three scenarios already and had proven himself capable. Vegeta saw potential in Sayaka, even though she was still inexperienced. Her growth in such a short time was commendable.
Meanwhile, a well-dressed man with glasses named Hiroshi, who had been observing Vegeta from the crowd, felt a burning desire for power. However, seeing Vegeta's overwhelming strength and cunning, Hiroshi hesitated to make a move, fearing for his life.
Unaware of Hiroshi's thoughts, Vegeta glanced at the time and continued, "There are seven people still in the school who haven't joined us. Your first task is to expel them or eliminate them. After that, your job is to clear and rebuild the school, making it self-sufficient."
With these orders, Vegeta took off, flying out of the school grounds, leaving everyone in stunned silence.
Kenzo quickly took charge, firing a shot from his Desert Eagle into the sky to assert his authority. The loud bang and Kenzo's confident demeanor reminded everyone of Vegeta's earlier dominance. Nobody dared to defy Kenzo, the appointed leader.
Under Kenzo's direction, the rebuilding efforts commenced smoothly. The seven people Vegeta had mentioned were swiftly dealt with, driven out of the school without hesitation. Some tried to resist and were met with lethal force from Kenzo.
For Kenzo, who had been through three otherworldly scenarios, killing had become almost routine. He even took the time to advise Sayaka and the others, who looked pale and queasy, about the harsh realities of their situation.
...
Meanwhile, Vegeta had no knowledge of these events, nor did he need to. If the group couldn't handle such basic tasks, they didn't deserve to survive.
Vegeta's next destination was a large shopping mall. In this chaotic world, he needed to secure enough food. Saiyans, while immensely powerful, were also practical beings. They had lifespans similar to humans and needed food to survive, just like anyone else.
Arriving at the mall, Vegeta saw a group of zombies attacking two people. Without hesitation, he fired a ki blast, wiping out the zombies instantly.
The sound of the explosion attracted more zombies, but Vegeta had no intention of lingering. A few powerful punches sent shockwaves that blew the zombies away, their heads bursting like overripe melons.
Another few hundred points were added to his tally, and Vegeta, unfazed, swiftly entered the mall.
