Chapter 114: Chapter 114 A Solitary Island In The Middle Of The Sea.
Approximately an hour later, Fang Li, who was staying in the room, heard a broadcast that echoed throughout the ship.
"The ship will soon arrive at the destination. The cruise ship will dock on the private island owned by our school. Students are requested to change into sports uniforms within thirty minutes and gather on the deck after confirming their designated luggage with their phones."
"A special notice: All personal belongings except for cell phones should be left in the rooms and not brought along."
"Repeating the announcement, this ship..."
Such broadcasts resounded throughout the entire cruise ship three times.
Fang Li, lying in the room, immediately opened his eyes.
"Have we finally arrived?"
Murmuring to himself, Fang Li got up from the bed and started changing into the sports uniform as instructed by the broadcast.
The sports uniform was something the homeroom teacher had instructed them to bring before departure.
However, Chabashira Sae had instructed the students to bring winter sports uniforms, including jackets and long pants, instead of the summer sports uniforms with short sleeves and shorts, even though it was summer vacation.
It was probably causing complaints from many students who couldn't stand the heat, even though it was summer.
Nevertheless, Fang Li casually put on the uniform, even wearing the jacket.
Just after Fang Li finished changing clothes, Hirata Yousuke entered the room from outside.
"You're quick, Nanaya-san," Hirata Yousuke greeted him and glanced around the room before asking, "Where are Ayanokouji-kun and Kouenji-kun?"
Fang Li didn't have time to answer this question.
Because almost as soon as Hirata Yousuke's voice fell, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka returned.
"I'm back."
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka greeted them in a flat tone.
That dull and lifeless voice probably wouldn't leave a good impression on any girl, right?
"Welcome back, Ayanokouji-kun."
Hirata Yousuke warmly welcomed Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's return without paying much attention to his flat tone.
However, Fang Li noticed.
In Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's voice, which had never shown any emotional fluctuations, there was now a faint hint of melancholy.
Clearly, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's current mood was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.
Fang Li became curious about this side of Ayanokouji Kiyotaka.
"What happened?"
Fang Li asked directly.
"...Nothing, it's nothing."
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka looked at Fang Li, shook his head, and the imperceptible hint of melancholy in his tone disappeared.
If Fang Li didn't trust his own feelings, he might have dismissed Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's slight abnormality as an illusion.
However, before Fang Li could inquire further, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka spoke again.
"Well, let's quickly change clothes and gather on the deck."
With that, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka fell silent and took out the sports uniform from his luggage on the bed, ready to change.
"You're right, we shouldn't be late."
Hirata Yousuke agreed with Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's statement and also began changing clothes.
"Just in time!"
To everyone's surprise, Kouenji Rokusuke walked in from outside, completely soaked as if he had come straight from the swimming pool to his room.
Now Fang Li had lost the opportunity to investigate further.
"Never mind."
After suppressing this matter in his heart, Fang Li opened the room door, left the room, and headed for the deck.
...
"Is that the place?"
"It's really nice..."
As soon as they arrived on the deck, Fang Li noticed that many people had already gathered there.
The students, dressed in sportswear, gathered by the railing, pointing and gesturing towards the front of the sea.
Fang Li looked out into the distance.
And then, in the next moment, Fang Li saw it.
In front of the cruise ship, an island emerged slowly, catching the eyes of everyone on board.
"Is that the island?"
It was a solitary island situated in the middle of the ocean.
The island was covered in dense vegetation, forming a forest that occupied more than eighty percent of the island, leaving only the edges revealing sandy beaches.
From a distance, the island bathed in sunlight, exuding a vibrant green hue, truly resembled a holiday resort.
The students on the deck, after confirming the presence of the island with their own eyes, filled with anticipation, excitement, and joy.
Upon closer inspection, the central figures of the other classes were also present, gazing towards the island.
Katsuragi Kouhei, accompanied by Totsuka Yahiko, stood at the forefront of the deck. While everyone around them was immersed in excitement, they remained calm. Katsuragi not only refrained from displaying any trace of a smile but even took out a pen and paper, seemingly recording something.
Ichinose Honami and Kanzaki Ryuuji, on the other hand, gathered in another part of the deck. They pointed and whispered to each other, directing their attention towards the direction of the solitary island.
Ryuuen Kakeru, accompanied by Albert and Ishizaki Daichi, treated the two as if they were invisible, only gazing at the island ahead, a confident smile never leaving his face.
Apart from them, the rest of the students were already engrossed in the excitement, planning which beach they would play on once they arrived on the island.
Even Class D was no exception.
Among them, two girls called out to Fang Li.
"Nan... Nanaya-kun."
"Over here! Nanaya-san!"
The voices calling out to Fang Li belonged to Sakura Airi and Kushida Kikyou.
Standing together by a railing, Sakura Airi and Kushida Kikyou looked at Fang Li, one with a relaxed expression and the other energetically waving in Fang Li's direction.
Seeing this, Fang Li approached them.
"Look! Nanaya-san! We've arrived!"
Kushida Kikyou smiled happily, pointing towards the island ahead, seemingly in a great mood.
"I see it."
Fang Li nodded and then shifted his gaze to Sakura Airi.
"Why didn't I see you on the deck just now?"
Fang Li asked naturally.
After a semester, Fang Li and Sakura Airi had already become familiar with each other, eliminating the need for formalities.
Sakura Airi is also less nervous when faced with Fang Li.
"After we set sail, everyone was so excited. It made me a bit uncomfortable, so I stayed in my room the whole time."
Sakura Airi spoke with a hint of embarrassment, which was indeed her style.
Fang Li shrugged, stepped forward, and stood between Kushida Kikyou and Sakura Airi.
Though there seemed to be glares coming from Ike Kanji and Yamauchi Haruki's direction, Fang Li ignored them and continued to gaze at the island ahead.
As the cruise ship approached the island, its speed began to slow down.
It was said that this solitary island was leased by the government and managed by Advanced Nurturing High School. It covered an area of approximately 0.5 square kilometers and had a maximum altitude of 230 meters, making it quite large.
The cruise ship seemed to want the students to have a good look at the island, as it didn't immediately dock but instead circled around the island.
After the cruise ship finally docked, the homeroom teachers from the four classes also came out from the ship.
"Gather! Roll call!"
Following this command, the students began to gather on the deck, forming queues.
After about twenty minutes, all the students from the various classes had assembled.
CREATORS' THOUGHTS 
Cain_101
Cain_101 Hey, everyone! I apologize for the lack of updates over the past two days. I'm really sorry about that, but unfortunately, I fell ill. Even though I was unwell, I still had to attend college because my exams are approaching. By the time I would come home, I felt absolutely exhausted like I was going to die. That's why there haven't been any updates for the past two days. However, I'm starting to feel slightly better now, so I'm here with the next chapter. Enjoy!
Peace out! ✌
