In practice, I originally just wanted to be a slacker.

"If you're not comfortable with that, you can sign a contract."

"No need. I trust your character, Horikita. If you break your promise now, it will probably become a stain on your life. If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

Yoshida's trust impressed Kamio Tatsuya.

Watching Yoshida's departing figure, Horikita Manabu suddenly spoke up: "I thought most of the students in the lower classes had given up, but I didn't expect them to be working hard in their own way."

"Life isn't just about graduating from class; people at this school take graduating from class way too seriously."

Tatsuya Kamio smiled. In fact, it was not a good thing for some people to graduate from class, nor was it a good thing for society.

Does granting those who lack ability the right to graduate from class and work or study anywhere they want lead to a perfect life?

Don't be ridiculous, people can't make money outside of their understanding.

Even if someone acquires a large amount of resources in a short period of time, when their abilities and assets are mismatched, their assets will re-enter the market in all sorts of strange ways.

Therefore, the most important thing to do during your three years at this school is not to deliberately pursue graduation from your class, but to steadily improve yourself.

As long as you have enough ability, getting promoted is just a side effect.

Even if you're unlucky and don't get promoted, you can still use your abilities to make a good life for yourself later.

That's why, after arriving in Class C, Tatsuya Kamio immediately started intensive training with them, hoping that they could at least improve their knowledge.

Isn't there a saying that goes like this?

Reading is not about making people smarter, but simply about avoiding being deceived.

The exam is on Thursday, so by Monday, there are only three days left until the exam.

On Monday morning, instead of having the students continue training inside the school buildings, the school took them to familiarize themselves with the mountain paths.

Because one of the tests on the last day was a road relay race, with a total route of 18 kilometers.

Kamio Tatsuya's group has twelve people. If the distance is divided equally, each person needs to run 1.5 kilometers. However, the school requires each person to run a minimum distance of 1.2 kilometers.

Therefore, flexible allocation is also possible, since there are students in the group who are not good at sports.

The exam route will be in the mountains, so the roads will be mostly hilly and uneven.

Going uphill is very tiring, and going downhill requires you to control your strength. If you accidentally fall, it will not only affect your performance, but you might also lose your life.

Therefore, it is very important to determine the route, so that people with poor athletic ability can run on flat roads or gentle downhill slopes as much as possible, while people with good athletic ability can run uphill slopes more often.

At first, everyone was quite relaxed when they left the school building, but as they entered the mountains and looked at the road ahead, their smiles turned into displeasure.

The second and third graders were fine; their physical development was basically complete, and they had probably taken similar exams before, so they were generally able to persevere.

But for first graders...

It can only be said that some people are already on the verge of death.

Chapter 255 A School Without Human Touch

It has to be said that walking on mountain roads is quite tiring, and in order to familiarize themselves with the route, the students have to walk the entire 18-kilometer journey.

"How long will this uphill climb last? I'm so tired."

Ishizaki led the team while complaining, but the fact that he still had the mood to complain meant that he wasn't really bothered by it.

Two students in the class were already panting.

"You guys go ahead. Koenji went into the back path. I'll go and bring him back."

Tatsuya Kamio and Koenji were walking at the very back, so Koenji's disappearance naturally caught Tatsuya Kamio's attention.

"Huh? It's really gone."

"What's that guy thinking? He really is a weirdo!"

Ishizaki vented his dissatisfaction with Koenji directly.

"Alright, save your energy." Kamio Tatsuya glanced at Ishizaki. "Ishizaki, you lead the team forward first. Albert, assist him for a bit, I'll be right back."

After giving his instructions, Kamio Tatsuya walked down the path where Koenji Temple had disappeared.

Upon reaching this point, Tatsuya Kamio understood why Koenji Temple had disappeared, because there was a sign here that read "Wild Boars Sighting".

This guy……

Did they go looking for wild boars?

Is this really something a human being could do?

Following the trail, Tatsuya Kamio continued forward, keeping a watchful eye out as he went. If a wild boar were to appear, it would be no laughing matter.

After walking about 100 meters forward, Kamio Tatsuya saw Koenji confronting a wild boar.

Is Koenji Temple blocked by wild boars?

No, quite the opposite is true; it was Koenji Temple that stopped the wild boar.

The level of a max-level human is just that exaggerated. At this point, Kamio Tatsuya was starting to believe in the authenticity of Wu Song fighting the tiger.

"Isn't this Kamio Boy? This doesn't seem to be the planned route."

"Since you knew it wasn't the planned route, why did you come here? Did you come to catch wild boars?" Kamio Tatsuya was speechless.

At the same time, they gained a renewed understanding of Koenji's strength.

"Isn't it obvious?"

While Koenji and Tatsuya Kamio were talking, the wild boar suddenly charged at Koenji.

However, Koenji simply dodged to the side perfectly. But that wasn't all. As the wild boar ran past him, Koenji actually kicked it in the head.

But the wild boar did not fall to the ground; instead, it let out a roar that sounded very angry.

Then, the relaxed expression on Koenji's face slightly faded.

"Kamio boy, I remember you run really fast, right?"

"What's wrong?"

Kamio Tatsuya was puzzled. Just then, he felt the ground tremble and saw a large number of dark shadows appear in the distant forest.

What the hell!

A herd of wild boars!

There must be at least **.

Without saying a word, Tatsuya Kamio turned and ran, while Koenji ran in the other direction.

It seems that even a fully leveled human is no match for a herd of wild boars.

In reality, Koenji didn't intend to run away; he was just trying to attract the boars' attention. However, perhaps it was because Kamio Tatsuya turned and ran away.

Some of the wild boars still chased after Tatsuya Kamio.

Next, Kamio Tatsuya thought of the students on the mountain road outside. Although he was confident in his speed and could escape smoothly, those students would probably have a harder time.

With that in mind, Tatsuya Kamio sped up and chased after the group.

Soon we could see the group moving forward at a rather slow pace.

"Run! The wild boar is catching up!"

Upon hearing Tatsuya Kamio's shout, Ishizaki and the others' first reaction was not to run away, but to freeze in shock.

Wild boar?

What are you talking about?

However, their faces immediately turned to horror, because not far behind Kamio Tatsuya, a massive army of wild boars was charging towards them again.

"Ugh!"

After letting out a strange cry, Ishizaki took off running, and the others followed suit, running up the mountain.

"Those who can climb trees, climb up now! If we keep going like this, we're bound to be attacked by wild boars!"

In the blink of an eye, Kamio Tatsuya had caught up with the group, with the boar squad hot on their heels.

As for Koenji, no one knows where he went. But thanks to his disappearance, only five wild boars remain behind Kamio Tatsuya.

But even if there are only five, they are not something they can handle.

If it's just one, we can barely manage if everyone works together, but with five, we'd better run away quickly.

"There's a house up ahead, let's hide inside."

When Ishizaki, who was running in the lead, saw the house, he immediately greeted everyone.

At this moment, a middle-aged man came out of the house and, upon seeing this scene, immediately told the students to hide inside.

Then everyone perked up and ran into the house. Unfortunately, some students fell behind. Two students from Class A and one student from Class B fell to the ground at the crucial moment because they were too nervous.

Finished!

This was the sentiment of everyone present, and the students in the class also showed expressions of fear.

Faced with its prey, the wild boar charged straight at it, and even opened its mouth to bite the student.

A student instinctively raised his hand to block, and unsurprisingly, his hand was bitten by the wild boar, and blood immediately gushed from his forearm.

"what!"

The screams lasted only a moment before abruptly ceasing, as the attacked student had already lost consciousness.

"boom!"

Just then, a gunshot rang out behind Tatsuya Kamio and the others, and a middle-aged man inside the house came out holding a hunting rifle.

Hunter?

You could tell from the faint white smoke rising from the gun barrel that he had just fired a shot.

The wild boars seemed startled by the gunshot, and immediately lost interest in the two people on the ground, turning around and running into the forest.

After the wild boar left, the man who appeared to be a hunter immediately went to check on the two men's injuries.

Fortunately, neither of them appeared to be in mortal danger at this moment.

Unfortunately, both of them were seriously injured. The broken legs were a minor issue, but the real concern was the potential for internal injuries.

"Uncle, can I borrow your phone for a moment?"

"Take this, I need to give them first aid."

"Thank you."

Kamio Tatsuya took the phone and immediately dialed the number on the board, then briefly explained the situation.

Not long after, Majima Satoshi, the homeroom teacher of Class B, arrived by car, accompanied by Hoshinomiya, the homeroom teacher of Class B, and several medical staff.

Several people's faces didn't look good.

They never expected the wild boar riot to happen, let alone that students would be injured as a result.

"What exactly happened? Wild boars shouldn't be leaving the forest to attack people this season."

With a helpless expression, Tatsuya Kamio recounted what had happened at Koenji Temple.

"Expel him! This kind of student must be expelled immediately!"

Upon hearing this, the person on the board trembled with anger.

Besides his concern for the students, another reason was that his dream was almost ruined by Koenji.

In other words, Kamio Tatsuya is fast. If something were to happen to Kamio Tatsuya, his ambition to be promoted from Class C to Class A would probably be shattered immediately.

"I understand. I will report this to my superiors. A car will come to pick you up later. You can go back now."

Majima Tomoya's expression was also not very good.

Parents bring their children to school to attend classes, not to help them survive in the wild.

Although they have the ability to suppress the incident even if something goes wrong, Majima Tomoya, as an upright teacher, feels that doing so is not the right thing to do.

Not long after, the car that was supposed to pick up Tatsuya Kamio and the others arrived. On the way back to the dormitory, no one spoke, and the atmosphere in the car was very heavy.

After all, someone had almost died in front of them, and at this moment, as students, they could not possibly smile.

Soon after, the vehicle picked up the second group, the third group...

No one spoke until they returned to the dormitory, until Tatsuya Kamio spoke for the first time.
