Chapter 138: 5.2
I noticed something unusual when the designated area C3 was announced at 7:00 in the morning. I've been doing the usual GPS scans for the past few days, and I started by looking for opponents who would compete with me for the placement point reward.
But instead, I found Utomiya, Yagami, and Tsubaki, the main members of the first year, together. Utomiya and Yagami are in the same group, so it isn't that surprising that they're together. However, the fact that Tsubaki is also present makes me think about it more. Moreover, no other members of the same group were found.
I remembered what Nanase had come to report to me the day before.
Today is the day where the first-years will implement their plan to take me down.
The group of first graders is naturally scattered across the island. Still, the position has changed significantly since I confirmed it last night. There are quite a few groups in D4 and E6 that surround me.
"Should I make my move?" I mutter to myself Although it was on this vast uninhabited island, since they could use GPS scanning, I won't be able to hide from them. I had been moving with Nanase for so many days; I should have tacitly assumed that they already knew my route.
In this case, I must avoid going directly to the C3 area, but I also need to avoid penalties for missing the designated area. Yesterday I missed two designated areas in a row. If I miss the designated area seven times in a row, how far will my ranking drop? ƒrēewebnovel.com
I don't know if they realize that I missed the designated area twice yesterday or if they're just blind, but it would really be the best time for them to attack right now.
It seems they know basic methods of fighting. It was the right choice not to attack me at night or in the morning.
If they attacked me at night when their vision was blocked, and I happened to escape, it would be impossible to catch me no matter how they used their scans. If they choose to do it in the morning, it would have been difficult to formulate a course without knowing my designated areas.
But there were so many of them.
Although I thought that it would be a group of powerful people like Hōsen that would come, this scale is beyond my imagination.
Hōsen hasn't moved from D4 since yesterday. If I went to the designated area, I would probably meet him.
If I was attacked by large amounts of first-years, the school would most likely be on my side. But then the whole school would know that I'm an unstable and strange character. That would be the end of my desire to live a normal school life. Even the teachers who didn't know the details would think that I wasn't an ordinary student.
There is definitely a teacher at the event area, so safety would be guaranteed, but it's not a wise choice to be followed there by many. There would be a way to seek refuge with other students, but I must consider that not only the first-year students but also the third-year students, who are under Nagumo's control, are my enemy.
Running away until the first years are exhausted is my only option right now. After I spent ten minutes putting away the tent and packing up my things, I ran another scan and saw the GPS responses of the first years coming towards me one by one.
Nanase's words that I would turn into a "victim of violence" once I was caught might be about to come true. The person who was directing this strategy wasn't afraid of dropping out of school. Maybe this person is mentally prepared to take full responsibility if things go wrong.
If that's the case, I'll have to avoid engaging them to the maximum extent possible. It doesn't matter if I will miss the designated area six times.
Surrounded by the river and the mountains, it is tempting to escape across the mountains, but it is not a wise option due to the terrain. It would be better to go on the south side even if it's a little dangerous.
If I decide to move away from the designated area, they might not catch me.
I took something out of my backpack and started to move.
