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

As for the result, just as Yagami said, the only GPS signal displayed in the vicinity was from Tatsuya Kamio.

At the same time, there is a reminder on the tablet: Depending on the weather conditions, basic mobility and tasks may be temporarily suspended. Please check your tablet regularly.

Perhaps because of this message, or perhaps because the road is in the mountains, the students didn't seem to be moving in this direction.

At least according to the GPS, only his own GPS is showing up in this area. As for Yagami, he somehow managed to disable the GPS.

It's probably completely destroyed, because the board says that minor damage won't affect the watch's GPS function.

"What's wrong? Senior, are you finally giving up now? No one's coming back to save you." Seeing the gloomy expression on Kamio Tatsuya's face, Yagami smiled again.

Yagami was filled with excitement at the prospect of punishing these outside geniuses.

"Hmph, you want my life? Then try it!" Tatsuya Kamio sneered. "But before that..."

As he spoke, Tatsuya Kamio stretched out his left hand and swung it directly at the tree trunk beside him. Then, a pain shot through his wrist, and the watch in Tatsuya Kamio's hand was still damaged.

Next, Tatsuya Kamio checked the GPS signal again using the tablet, and this time even his GPS signal disappeared.

"I used too much force at all, it still hurts quite a bit."

Tatsuya Kamio flexed his left wrist and then tossed the tablet onto the backpack lying on the ground.

"Come on, let me see how much you're worth."

After flexing his left wrist, Tatsuya Kamio extended his palm, signaling for his opponent to attack.

Yagami was somewhat confused by Kamio Tatsuya's actions. Knowing that he was facing a formidable enemy, Kamio Tatsuya had actually allowed himself to be injured first.

When the watch hit the tree trunk, the whole tree shook. The force was definitely not small; in Yagami's judgment, it might have been the full force.

Under the opposite force, it is impossible for Tatsuya Kamio's wrist to be unharmed; in fact, he probably can't even exert any force with that hand now.

"Hmph, bluff!"

Yagami sneered and then charged toward Kamio Tatsuya.

soon.

His speed was at least faster than Baoquan's, and his movements were extremely sharp without any unnecessary actions. This moment reminded Kamio Tatsuya of his sparring with Horikita last year.

At the same time, Tatsuya Kamio also started to move.

In order to get a clear picture of Iori's strength, Tatsuya Kamio mainly focused on dodging, constantly moving in small areas to avoid Iori's attacks.

Even so, it's impossible for Tatsuya Kamio to dodge all of Iori's attacks, but that's okay, he can just block the ones he can't dodge.

After dodging or blocking more than ten attacks, Tatsuya Kamio was getting a little bored.

"Heh, is this all you've got? It doesn't seem as impressive as you make it out to be. After all this time, you haven't even managed to touch the hem of my clothes."

Is this all the guys coming out of the white room are capable of? They're utterly useless.

Upon hearing the name "White Room," Yagami stopped attacking, then distanced himself from Tatsuya Kamio, his expression turning indifferent.

"No wonder Yuecheng sent me to test you; you do have some skill."

As they spoke, Yagami's gaze towards Kamio Tatsuya changed. It was an inhuman look, and the madness filling his pupils forced Kamio Tatsuya to take it seriously.

Without any further ado, Iori attacked again, his speed even greater than before, not only in movement but also in attack.

If he were to dodge rashly, he might fall into the opponent's attack rhythm, so Tatsuya Kamio began to parry each move one by one.

Sure enough, not only the speed, but also the power increased significantly.

Takuya Yagami relentlessly attacked Tatsuya Kamio, his mind focused on only one thought: to defeat the person in front of him.

This has happened many times in the white room.

He didn't want to fail; he wanted to be the winner, because the losers would be taken out of the white room, which to him was no different from death.

The white room is Yagami Takuya's only refuge. As for his parents who sent him to the white room? Heh, he doesn't have that kind of thing. He absolutely cannot lose.

Driven by this madness, he survived in the white room and became the top student of the fifth term.

I am the best student in the fifth cohort, so I will absolutely not lose, I must not lose, and I absolutely cannot lose!

Yagami's attacks became faster and stronger, which surprised Tatsuya Kamio. This guy had actually unleashed his full power during the battle.

Are you kidding me?

How could I possibly encounter something like this? Did I somehow transmigrate into a battle anime?

Even so, Tatsuya Kamio's rhythm was not disrupted. He continued to deflect and block attacks methodically, and even had time to open the attribute detector to check Iori's attributes.

Sure enough, compared to before, Yagami's power speed has now reached 7.5.

Damn it, is this going berserk?

"Oh, right, let me tell you something else, Kamio-senpai. I was the one who did what happened to Komiya-senpai and the others. They were just lucky, though, that they didn't die in that situation."

Upon hearing this, Tatsuya Kamio remained expressionless.

Are you trying to provoke me with this?

Kid, you're too green.

And do you really think you've got this in the bag?

After this exchange, Kamio Tatsuya realized one thing: although this guy was fast, faster than Horikita Manabu, his experience was nowhere near that of Horikita Manabu.

I don't know how Horikita trained, he's so good.

Taking advantage of the moment when Yagami was speaking, Kamio Tatsuya seized the opportunity when Yagami was wide open and kicked him in the stomach, sending him flying several meters away.

Kamio Tatsuya didn't use his full strength in that kick, because it's hard to control; he probably used about 80% of his power. But even so, it definitely hurt Iori.

After being kicked by Tatsuya Kamio, Yagami knelt on the ground, clutching his stomach and curling up like a shrimp.

Sure enough, it worked!

Even so, Kamio Tatsuya remained vigilant and did not even approach him.

The Japanese are very cunning. What if they smear dirt in my eyes while I'm passing by?

After all, this technique is their ancestral earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a type of magic that allows one to escape through the earth).

Once he loses his sight, even Tatsuya Kamio wouldn't be a match for Yagami, because he hasn't been trained to fight in the dark.

So Kamio Tatsu watched Yagami from a distance, and then his eyes fell on a pebble that had fallen under a tree.

Since you're not coming over, I won't either. But I hope you can withstand my flying stone attack.

Thinking this, Kamio Tatsuya bent down, picked up a few pebbles, and then threw one of them hard at Yagami.

Meanwhile, Yagami rolled on the ground in the distance to dodge Tatsuya Kamio's pebble.

"Heh, isn't that pretty agile? You were trying to play dirty tricks just now, weren't you?" Kamio Tatsuya sneered, then picked up another pebble and threw it at Yagami.

Not just one, but one after another.

Because Yagami had just been kicked hard by Kamio Tatsuya, he was still a little sluggish and was hit several times by the stones that Kamio Tatsuya threw.

The blow that hit his knee, in particular, made him kneel down.

"I thought you were so great, but is this all you've got?" Kamio Tatsuya mocked Iori while throwing pebbles at him.

Looking at Yagami kneeling on the ground, Kamio Tatsuya walked towards Yagami step by step, keeping an eye on Yagami's hands as he went.

His movements are different now than before. Before, Yagami was covering his stomach, and Kamio Tatsuya couldn't see his hands.

But now it's different. His hands are on the ground, within Tatsuya Kamio's field of vision, so even if he tries to play dirty tricks, Tatsuya Kamio can counter him immediately.

As Tatsuya Kamio approached step by step, Yagami began to exert force with both hands, even digging into the ground.

At that moment, Tatsuya Kamio suddenly stepped forward and kicked Iori in the chin, knocking him over and leaving him lying motionless on the ground.

Is this guy dead?

Kamio Tatsuya tilted his head, deciding not to get any closer. Instead, he activated the attribute detector. Hmm, the attribute is still there; he should still be alive.

So he must have fainted. Of course, it's also possible that he's seriously injured and about to die. After all, Kamio Tatsuya's kick just now had about 80% of its force. According to Kamio Tatsuya's judgment, it's very likely that even his jaw was broken.

But what does it matter? Anyway, nobody knows it was Tatsuya Kamio who did it.

Throughout their battle, Tatsuya Kamio was never injured, so no trace of Kamio's skin would ever get on Yagami's body.

As for other traces, they will soon be washed away by the heavy rain that follows.

If Yagami's watch were still functional, the school would most likely have sent a helicopter to rescue him, but unfortunately...

Kamio Tatsuya shook his head, then, before the raindrops fell, he put the tablet back into his backpack, slung his backpack over his shoulder, and left the scene.

Damn it, you're ruining my chance to earn points.

Kamio Tatsuya cursed under his breath, then quickly ran towards the starting line. There was no other way; his watch was broken, and he needed to get a new watch if he wanted to regain his score.

As for whether Yagami will live or die, that depends on his luck.

Chapter 334 Back to the Beginning

Before leaving, Tatsuya Kamio used GPS again, but there was still no GPS signal in the area, and not only that, there was very little signal in the surrounding area as well.

Furthermore, it is very likely to rain in the future, so places like the mountains are quite dangerous, and under normal circumstances, no one would come here.

Therefore, Tatsuya Kamio doesn't need to worry about Yagami being discovered by others immediately, and even if he is discovered, it won't matter.

After cleaning up some of the traces at the scene, Kamio Tatsuya looked at his broken watch on his wrist, then unleashed all his power and rushed towards the starting point at top speed.

Moreover, in order to save time, Tatsuya Kamio chose the shortest route, which was to climb over the hillside that runs across the island.

Currently located at G3, based on previous experience, Tatsuya Kamio made a rough judgment of the direction and headed towards the southwest.

With all his abilities activated, he crossed the mountain in just one hour.

However, because his watch was broken, Tatsuya Kamio was unsure of where he was, and because of the weather, he couldn't tell which way to go.

Based on the route he had taken before, Kamio Tatsuya could roughly determine that he was currently at E6 or F7, as both of these locations were at the foot of the mountain.

If only we could find that river nearby, we could just follow it to reach area E9, and then head straight east to reach D9.

Anyway, let's find that river first.

With a sigh, Tatsuya Kamio considered using his computer's GPS to check his current location and ask someone for directions, but immediately gave up.

Even if you check, you won't know where you are right now.

It would be great if I could run into other students so I could ask them for directions.

After glancing at the hillside behind him, Tatsuya Kamio chose to proceed in the opposite direction from the hillside.

Perhaps it was Tatsuya Kamio's luck that came into play, as he encountered a group of students in less than ten minutes.

"Eh? Masumi?"

After spotting people in the distance, Tatsuya Kamio breathed a slight sigh of relief. At least he wouldn't have to wander around the island like a headless fly anymore.

The commotion caused by Tatsuya Kamio's arrival also drew the attention of Masumi and the others, who were discussing something.

It's been seven days now, and the Sakayanagi group has successfully formed a six-person team. Besides Sakayanagi, who has been staying at the starting point, there are five other people here.

Besides Kamuro, Ichinose, and Hashimoto, who were the first to meet me, two more people joined: Shibata from Class B and a boy named Ninomiya.

"Tatsuya? What a coincidence, to run into you here."

Kamuro was clearly delighted to see Tatsuya Kamio on the island, and his smile was almost impossible to hide.

What's wrong with you? Have you run into trouble?

"Yes, Ichinose's watch is broken."

Kamuro gave a brief explanation, while Ichinose, standing to the side, gave a wry smile and then raised his wrist.

"I fell by the river this morning, and I think I hit a rock around that time, which made the heart rate measurement and GPS functions completely unusable."

Wow, the GPS function stopped working so easily?

I wish I hadn't used so much force back then. Although I'm fine now, it really hurt a lot at the time.

“Looks like we’re in the same boat. My watch also broke while we were hiking through the mountains.” As he spoke, Tatsuya Kamio held out his hand, revealing his obviously broken watch.

"Are you OK?"

Upon seeing the watch's terrible condition, Kamuro immediately changed his expression and grabbed Tatsuya Kamio's hand to examine it.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Tatsuya Kamio patted Kamuro's head with his other hand. "By the way, where is this place? I just crossed that mountain, and now I'm a little unsure of the location."

"This is E6, or more precisely, the southwest corner of E6," Shibata answered the question. "Let me take you back. Without GPS, it's quite difficult to move around on the island, isn't it?"
