It was quiet in the white room, footsteps can be heard as a tall figure pass by busy children. It then suddenly stops infront of Kiyotaka who looked up.

" Kiyotaka. Remember this. To have power and fail to use it ... is the behaviour of a fool. "

_________________________________

On the side of the river, Kiyotaka glance at the water where a few fishes swim pass him.

" Hey! "

" We caught some fish! "

Kiyotaka turn his head to see Ike and Sudo came back as Sudo carries a net that contains dozens squirming fishes.

Kikyo and Sato also came back with a harvest on their grasp. " Look at all the fruit we found. "

Yosuke smiled. " Great work, everyone! "

" Akabane-kun? What are you doing? " Ike ask as Karma steered a wooden bowl that contains hot water due to the small fire Karma has made in the process.

" I'm making holy water because I'm bored. " Karma replied as he continued to steer the water faster.

* Stir

Ike's expression turned into confusion. " How is it making holy water? "

Karma's face suddenly shadowed as a glint appear from his eyes. " I'm boiling the hell out of it. "

* StirStirStirStirStirStirStirStirStirStirStir

Kiyotaka deadpanned as smoke erupted from the wooden bowl. ' It's been 20 minutes since Karma starts sitting on the sidelines, to think a bored Karma would still be troublesome. '

Yosuke turn to where Karma is. " Karma, we're working on a bigger fire for the fish. Will you help Ike and Sudo for it? "

The stirring stop. Karma raise a hand. " Sure! "

Kiyotaka stare at the steaming bowl that Karma abandoned.

Everyone then started to follow through Yosuke's instructions.

______________________________

Karma, Kiyotaka and Suzune roam around the forest. It was silent between them but none cared. Kiyotaka took a look of the paper he scribbled as he try to find amongst the other classes across the island.

" It's rare to see you two taking initiative like this. " Suzune spoke up as she follow the two boys.

" It's not like we have anything better to do. This passes the time. " Kiyotaka replied as his eyes focus on the paper.

" I don't mind doing recon, but I'd personally rather avoid unnecessary movement. I don't want to waste stamina by wandering around without a clear goal in mind. "

Suzune feels a bit behind as she try to steady her distance with Kiyotaka and Karma.

" I understand how you feel, but staying shut up inside won't change the situation. Besides ... " Kiyotaka paused as he remembered their last encounter with Ryuen, to say such encounter wouldn't be pleasant.

Karma scroll his eyes to Kiyotaka before speaking for him. " It's clear they've placed a target on your back, Suzu-chan. "

Suzune ignored Karma's serious expression and sighed in anguish. She unconciously rub her arm. " That's true. "

After a few moments, they encounter noises coming from the shore of the island. As the three went out of the leaves, they spot Ichinose and figured that the area their in is the Class B island spot.

Ichinose happily brought them in. " There's plenty of fruit in the forest, and we can probably catch fish in the ocean. We've got the waterfalls for freshwater, too. "

Suzune nod in a calculative look as she observe the carefree students. " Class B never fails to impress. It's far more disciplined than I imagined. "

Ichinose let out a quick laugh. " It was really hard at first! But we rigged a few things up, and now we're making it work. "

" Ichinose-san, is it safe to assume that our relationship is one of cooperation? "

" Sure! That's how I think of it. "

" Sorry to interrupt.. " The four turn their heads to see a male student.

Ichinose smiled at the male. " What is it? "

" I was wondering if there was anything I could do to help. "

Ichinose hummed before pointing at a specific group. " Well ... why don't you help Chihiro-chan and the others over there? "

The male bowed before walking to the requested spot. " Understood. Thank you very much. "

Karma observed the male.

" He seems rather distant, for a classmate. " Suzune comment.

Ichinose answer. " His name's Kaneda-kun. Apparently, he had a falling-out with Class C and got driven out of the camp. Oh, sorry ... I'd better get back to work. Come back to visit soon, okay? "

She then walk away. Karma didn't reply as he glanced at Kaneda suspiciously. Class C huh?

" It's an upgrade from Class D in every way. I have to admit that. " Suzune said before she turn away to walk back to the forest.

Kiyotaka and Karma glance at eachother before follwing her.

To the next spot the three have to observe is Class A island spot, they hid within the area surrounded by bushes near the cave.

Suzune use her hand as a telescope as she stare at the one guarding it. " We can't see what's going on inside from here. "

" Let's go have a look. " Kiyotaka says as he stands up.

Suzune looked taken back. " W-Wait! "

Karma stands up to which Suzune turns her head in disbelief. " Y-You guys.. "

" We can't afford to be intimidated just because they're Class A. " Karma shrugged.

" What are you two trying to do? There's nothing to be gained from revealing ourselves. "

Kiyotaka proceed to walk forward. " Sulking around here won't get us anywhere, either. "

Suzune let out a sigh before standing up as well.

Yahiko let out a stretch before seeing three foreign students coming towards him. " What do you want? "

As the three were close enough to Yahiko, Suzune spoke up. " We came here to scout you out. Do you have a problem with that? "

She looks at the cloth that strategically closes the opening of the cave. " How very underhanded. We're going in. "

" Hey. " Yahiko's hand blocked her.

" What? "

" This place is occupied by Class A. You're not allowed to go in. "

Karma hummed. " Oh? You've already occupy this spot? "

Yahiko nod before stating sternly. " That's right. Now leave. "

Suzune walk forward unable to back down. " But there's no rule saying I can't ever go to the cave. I can't use a spot that is currently occupied but I have the right to see what's inside. What you're doing is monopolization. I think maybe you're the ones breaking the rules. "

As the male looked defeated Suzune lay her hands to the cloth.

" What are you doing? "

Yahiko flinch. " Katsuragi-san! "

Katsuragi's upper body is unclothed as he carry a bow specifically for hunting food. He look directly at Yahiko. " I don't recall permitting you to invite visitors. "

Yahiko guiltily look away.

" I just want to see what's inside. I can't imagine how that's against the rules. " Suzune said to Katsuragi.

" Go ahead and look, then. But be prepared for consequences. One class occupies one spot, and they protect it until the test ends. " Katsuragi state.

Karma was suprised. To think he rely more on behavior affecting to each class and the confident tone that they'll find nothing out of asking their spot.

Some A-Class students started to show themselves and corner Suzune, Karma and Kiyotaka to protect their spot.

" If you try to break this unspoken rule ... there will be war. It's best to avoid that sort of trouble. "

Of course. It seems that they already know and is ready to attack ahead for intruders. Karma smiled. " Really? "

Suzune thinks it's best to retreat for now but seeing Karma staring straight at Katsuragi is never a good thing. Karma's smile stays where they are as he walk infront, closer to Katsuragi.

Katsuragi's height is big, his musculinity shows his aspects on physical combat. But that alone wouldn't prove it's efficiency. Suddenly as Karma raise his hand, it then touched Katsuragi's shoulder.

Katsuragi's eyes go wide including Suzune and Kiyotaka. The sudden speed blur the action but she was sure Karma was 10 inches away from Katsuragi.

Karma did a close-eyed smile as he muttered out. " Well, I wouldn't mind taking you on, big guy. "

Kohei Katsuragi furrows his eyebrows, he obviously heard his whisper. " You're Karma Akabane from Class-D, right? "

Karma opens his eyes, smirk now forming on his face. " Oh? I didn't think the elite from Class-A would know about a defective like me from Class-D. "

The man infront of him scoff. " Of course I know you. I heard rumors about a student from class D, who made students from other classes terrified of him, because of him unleashing a violent atmosphere, and that he did dangerous acts across school premises, if it's you then I'm suprised your still here. If you have some free time now, I'd like to discuss this situation with you. "

Suzune blink. " What are you talking- "

" Alright, let's talk. "

Suzune turn to Karma, suprised at his immediate response, should she be scared? " Kar- Akabane-kun, what are you- "

Karma smiled at Suzune before turning to Kiyotaka. " Suzune-chan, Ayano-kun, you two can go ahead; I'll catch up to you later. "

Kiyotaka nod. " Okay. Let's go, Horikita. "

Suzunea thinks for a moment, sighs, and then starts to walk away from Class-A camp. Before leaving, she turns her head to look at Karma.

" We'll go to Class-C camp, don't take long. "

Karma let out a teasing grin. " Ah, Suzu-chan worrying about me, you do have a heart! "

After those words, Suzune glares at Karma, and then leaves with a "hmph!" Katsuragi turns towards Karma Akabane.

Katsuragi turn his body to the opposite direction. " We'll go somewhere else. "

Karma nod. " Lead the way then. "

Karma together with some Class A students stop at an area surrounded by the bushes. They certainly cannot be interrupted. The students stand behind the latter with wary as Karma stares at Katsuragi.

" So, what do you want to talk about? "

Katsuragi slightly glares at Karma. " I want you to stop attacking other students. "

Karma blink. I that really all. " And why should I do that? "

" They're your seniors. You must respect them. "

The first year infront of him snort. " Well, Katsuragi, I think you know what type of guy I am based on those rumors. So, what will you do, to make me listen to you? "

As to take on that challenge, Katsuragi bow his head. " If you won't listen to me willingly.. "

Katsuragi then starts shooting his fist towards Karma to which the latter dodges easily. It was a spect of a view but the help of the air forming towards Karma's direction, it wasn't hard to cent the blow.

" ... I will make you. "

Karma's eyes widen. " Okay. But, what will happen if I win? "

" I will do anything you ask of me, except for points and class disturbance. " Katsuragi replied.

" And let me guess, those at the back will not interfere, make sure that we will fight fair and square and hold our own end of the bargain, right? "

Katsuragi nod. " That's correct. "

Karma punch his fist. " Well, in that case... "

He lick his lips as he looks at his target straight in the eye.

" Let's begin. "

Both Karma and Katsuragi the start to lunge at one another. Arm to arm, blow to blow.

The two are locked in quick hand-to-hand combat, with Karma effortlessly dodging and blocking all of Katsuragi's moves. Karma felt as if his moves are still a bit rusty. He needs more warm-up then, he trusts that his partner would help with that.

Karma use his arm to block off the blow when it comes to the side of the bodies. When they gain a distance between each other, Katsuragi raised an eyebrow.

" When will you fight back? "

Karma jump backwards to gain distance. " Don't worry; I'll start to get serious soon. "

That statement makes Katsuragi's eyebrows twitch. Karma goes on the offensive and trades blows with Katsuragi until he kicks him in the groin. Bent over in slight pain and with his back turned, Karma prepares to finish him off.

' Too easy. '

Suddenly, Katsuragi throws dirt at Karma's eyes, seemingly catching him off guard and making him fall back. Katsuragi holds Karma up and prepares to land a final blow.

' To think, you'll be more dangerous, your still a Class D first year. This will surely finish it. '

But with his guard down, Karma thinks it's a time for him to get a taste of kaarma and toss dirt to Katsuragi's eyes.

As soon as Karma was drop to the ground he lands a kick in the gut, having thought of this too and covering his eyes with his hand, and therefore paralyzing Katsuragi.

With no ability to see, he temporarily blind, he'll then make use of the tools around him. Katsuragi takes a tree branch from the ground and tries to slash at Karma with it. He then drops it and focus on the foosteps and noises with his eyes close.

* Scrunch

' There! ' Katsuragi tightens his fist and punch only to feel air. His eyes furrowed before hearing noise coming from behind him.

Too late to turn around, he felt a hand going to his mouth dragging him down to the ground. Legs twisting his body, he grunt as he was forced to kneel down. Karma who has the advantage pulls Katsuragi's arm above and clips his legs directly to the point Katsuragi can't stand up.

Karma smiles in victory.

" Looks like I won. " Karma smirk. " To think a Class A can't beat a first year is a bit sad. "

Katsuragi grunts in pain and dissatisfaction. He tugs his body harder but Karma squeezes his arm. The man let out a hitch of air before relaxing his pained body.

" Yes... You win. Now, what do you want from me? If I can it done- "

Karma's smirk widens. " My only condition is that you stay put and don't move... "

Katsuragi open his eyes. " Huh? What are you- "

He sees Karma takes something out from his pockets.

" So that I can work on my art. "

Taking a look at the materials Karma is holding made Katsuragi sweat a bit. " What are those? "

Karma tilt his head. " Don't you know? This is Chilly and spicy paste, sadly I don't have wasabi. I will put them in your nostrils. "

After that statement, Karma smiles, while Class-A students are shocked.

" WHAAAAAAAT?!! "

Yahiko began to stutter in utter disbelief. " B-but you can't- "

They can clearly see a tail and some horns formed on Karma. " Oh, but I can. I suggest you not to interfere, unless you want to recieve the same treatment, my victory is fair. "

Karma then shows them his phone, which has a recording of their previous conversation, making them shiver. Karma's point makes Class-A students flinch and bite their lower lip. The students all gulp as they helplessly watch Karma opening the lids.

" Well, with that out of the way, let me start my work. "

Karma then sits on Katsuragi in cross leg position, stopping him from moving his hands. Karma then starts to put chilly and spicy paste in Katsuragi's nostrils making.

To make sure there is big space for the paste to go in, he pulls Katsuragi's nose wider.

" Up to this point I've been on guard with you, and now you're helpless, so there's nothing in my way. As soon as I put them in, I'll plug your nose, fill your mouth with pepper that's a thousand times spicier than regular chili, and then put a gag in your mouth, and that's it! Now, Katsuragi, it's time to show your restraint. "

The pastes let out a squish sound before an audible noise can be heard across the island. A scream, a scream that can never be forgotten to those who heard them.

" Kekekeke~. "

Suzune suddenly stop walking.

Kiyotaka noticed. " What's wrong. "

" I think I hear something just now. "

____________________________

Suzune let out a frown. " You've got to be kidding me. What is Class C thinking? "

The thought soon disappeared as lights and cheers flood the scene infront of them. It's like the Class C are really on a vacation. The electro-pop music, barbeque, beach ball, swimwears, they're all bought by points.

" Um.. " Both Kiyotaka and Suzune turn their head to see Komiya infront of them.

" Ryūen-san wants to see you. "

Suzune hesitantly look at Kiyotaka before she walk towards where Ryuen is laying down. To the fact a leader is relaxing under the umbrella, the absurdity can be called as reckless.

" Hey. " Ryuen turn his head to the two Class D students.

Suzune cross her arms. " You seem to be living the high life. "

Ryuen smirk. " Oh, we are. It's our summer vacation, and we're going to enjoy it. Right? "

He ask Komiya, Ishizaki, Kondō who were kneeling under the heap of the sun. " Y-Yes, sir ... "

Suzune's face grew stern.

Ryuen grab a bottle before taking a sip. He then frown. " Ichizaki. "

" Y-Yes sir.. " Ichizaki run towards Ryuen.

Ryuen then pour the bottle on Ichizaki's head. " It's warm. "

" I'm sorry, sir. "

Ryuen then turn his head to Suzune. " For just 100 or 200 class points, you people will endure starvation, heat, and exhaustion ... Just the thought of it makes me want to laugh. "

" I was a fool to come here on my guard. " Suzune said.

" Who's the fool here? Is it me? Or you? " Ryuen sit up facing towards them with a glare before snatching the cold beer from Ichizaki's grasp.

" Um.. Ryuen-san. "

Ryuen turn to Komiya. " Nani? "

" W-we have another visitor. "

All eyes then fall on the red-headed boy with golden eyes, who waves to the direction of his classmates. " Ohayo, Ayano-kun, Suzu-chan! Sorry I was late. "

Suzune drop her arms. " Karma-kun, what did you talk about with Katsuragi? "

Karma wave his hand. " Ah, well that's a secret! "

Kiyotaka began to speak. " That scream earlier, was it you who did it? "

Suzune turn to Kiyotaka with wide eyes before glaring at Karma.

" What did you do? "

Karma scratch his neck with a sigh. " Let me show you. "

He then grab his phone from his pocket.

Suzune didn't get what the male is saying. " Show us? What do you- "

Karma then shows them a photo of Katsuragi, in whose nostrils were chilly and spicy paste, making all who sees that gape on disbelief. Kiyotaka shake his head.

Kakery Ryuen then starts to laugh. " KUKUKUKUKU!! "

Suzune shakily turn to Karma. " K-karma-kun... Did you do this? "

Karma proudly exclaimed. " Yep. He challenged me to a fight, and lost, so based on our contract, I could do anything with him, and so I chose to make my work of art. "

Ryūen then stops laughing and starts to look at Karma directly, making him stare back.
