Volume 15, Chapter 4: Surrounded on All Sides - K?enji Vs. The Free Group, Part 2

Kiriyama and the rest of the free group, led by Mikitani, were following Kouenji. "What is Kouenji's position?"

"I've looked for it three times, but it hasn't moved at all."

It is unnatural for him not to move at all, even if it is not break time.

In case you are looking for the best way to get the most out of your business, you will want to take a look at this particular website. Kiriyama also peers at the tablet to find out what caused Kouenji's inexplicable behavior.

"It doesn't seem like there is a task nearby."

"Yes. We will reach Kouenji in about 200 meters. "

“This time we will be attentive and we will make sure to catch it. Good."

"I don't need you to tell me."

Kouenji wanders off, but about six hours after they start chasing him, they are surprisingly reunited.

The reason he hadn't moved was because he had fallen asleep even though it was broad daylight.

The third year students look at each other in disgust. Mikitani walks up as a representative, looks at Kouenji's face and says with a strong tone.

“Get up, Kouenji! You've been running for more than 10 days, so you took a nap from exhaustion, right? "

Even if he didn't want to sleep, he had to. When he thought about the reason why he was asleep in the situation he escaped from, he could only think of one thing: Mikitani.

Slowly opening his eyes, Kouenji smiles and laughs softly.

“I'm sure you will agree. I am a human being like you. "

“If that's the case, then go ahead and take the rest of the day off. You must be exhausted from all this. You must listen to the kind advice of your elders. "

“Take the day off? That's kind of funny. "

Kouenji gets up, unfazed by the situation around him.Mikitani had been looking down, but when Kouenji, who is over six feet tall, got up, his gaze reversed naturally.

His eyes were full of vitality and he seemed much larger than the Kouenji from before.

“Don't… make an effort. If you could get rid of fatigue just with a little rest, no one

would have a problem. "

Mikitani, feeling intimidated, approached him.

- "Do not worry. My physical strength has already recovered perfectly. I don't want you to talk about me as a normal person. "

It is possible to take it as a mere posture, but Kiriyama directs his words to Kouenji, who seemed to be relaxed.

“You certainly look good. But like Mikitani said, you've run for the last 10 days or so with more energy than anyone. There's no question about it, since you've probably repeatedly ranked first in the order of arrival. But even if you have extraordinary stamina, you should have reached your limit by now. "

"I think that if you are reaching your limit, you are not in the realm of normal people." "You mean you haven't reached your limit yet?"

Kiriyama's suspicion intensifies, but Kouenji responds immediately.

“I have a very short dream. I have an extremely low REM phase. "

[Note: REM phase is the part where dreams occur] "What? What is that REM phase, huh? "

Mikitani lunged at Kouenji's comment, but here for the first time Kiriyama's expression hardened.

“A short dream If that's true, then we have a serious problem. "

"What do you mean, Kiriyama?"

"The ideal average daily sleep time for a human being is about seven to eight hours. It is said that the ideal amount of sleep is between seven and eight hours a day, because more or less is not enough to maintain good health. However, those who sleep little are those who are predisposed to maintaining good health, even if they sleep less than six hours. "

Sleep is an alternate cycle of REM and non-REM phases. The REM phase is the stage in which the brain is active and awake, so to speak. On the other hand, the non-REM phase is when the brain is asleep.

Since those who sleep less spend less time in REM sleep, they are able to rest their brain and body even with little rest.

"It seemed strange to me to sleep in peace, but I suppose that is what there is …" Kouenji has extraordinary physical strength, but even so, fatigue often appears after a long period of intense travel and repeated challenges.

The time remaining after reaching the designated area or when there are no tasks nearby.

By sleeping well here, Kouenji was able to keep his stamina at a high level.

If the claim that he has a super short sleep is true, it means that Kouenji is not only physically stronger than a normal person, but his resilience is also beyond normal. For the first time, a slight impatience arose in Kiriyama.

Everyone was tired and exhausted, even when they were trying to keep up.

The mere act of walking makes your legs cry out for a break and makes your heart break for not wanting to take the exam anymore.

That is the common perception of students in their deep psychology.

With that premise in mind, he thought it wouldn't be difficult to contain Kouenji. With that they thought that it would end up collapsing.

"By the way, do you still need me?"

"I don't care if you are physically strong or not, shut up …"

If you're looking for the best way to get the most out of your business, you'll want to take a look at the following.

"I'm not here at all, don't worry about us."

He avoided direct expressions as much as possible and tried to keep things smooth. Mikitani was even more frustrated by such a tepid attitude, but he complied.

"You seem quite belligerent when you say that."

He didn't seem to heed the third year's advice or threats.

In the middle of the conversation, when the third designated zone was announced, Kouenji glanced at his tablet and immediately started walking in that direction.

"I'm not one to accept advice, Kiriyama." "It may be true."

"And he's probably bluffing when he says he has a super short sleep."

However, while many students have already lost a lot of effectiveness, Kouenji has maintained a good pace almost unchanged from the beginning. It is evident that he had constantly trained his body every day and also considering the special exam on the uninhabited island as one more part of his training. This is how he analyzes it.

“It's useless, I'll change my strategy. We will seal the matter. "

At this point, Kiriyama finally made up his mind and instructed each of them to hunt down Kouenji.

However, Mikitani's lips pursed in dissatisfaction.

“I'm the one in charge now. Don't interrupt the circle, Mikitani. "

"Tch, …"

While they were puzzled by Kouenji's steady pace, the third-year students began to expand widely. The 18 formed a circle with Kouenji in the center.

Also, Kiriyama called his friends while communicating with them by walkie-talkie. Without thinking about what was going to happen next, Kouenji kept walking.

He do not stop moving or stay still.

Kiriyama had three plans in total: The first was simply to persuade Kouenji to give up his top streak using words, which of course included surrounding him with various people to pressure him. The second strategy was to keep Kouenji in a circle and move on. The third strategy was to get ahead of Kouenji's task.

With six groups free and Kiriyama, a total of seven groups interfering, the obstacle to participating in tasks inevitably becomes quite high. Also, if they all stick around just to crush Kouenji, they can lower the chances of his winning the task.

Each task has different participation requirements, but the pattern was fixed.

There are two types of tasks: "Each task is open to a different number of players" and "Each task is open to a group of players".

In the latter case, a free group that does not have all its members together does not meet the participation requirements, but most tasks that require group participation basically

require two or more members. In other words, Kouenji, who is working alone, can only participate in assignments that require the participation of one person, so the third-year students here can participate as well.

For a time, the third-year students followed him without any distraction, but gradually they grew impatient.

Kouenji's speed was so fast that it could be mistaken for a foot race if you looked closely, and just keeping up with him consumed a lot of stamina. The simple act of walking at the same speed was beginning to make them feel extremely tired.

When they were forced to adjust to the unusual speed of the march, they felt a wave of exhaustion. It would be so much easier if they just ran.

"Kouenji! Don't be so harsh!"

Mikitani yelled impatiently, judging that he was only thrusting forward with empty energy.

"Well, well, they're getting noisy. So, let me pick up the pace a bit." With these words, Kouenji started running again.

“Don't let him get away this time! Surround him!

The third year students who had been chasing him while keeping their distance simultaneously approached Kouenji. I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure they can figure it out.

"No way, no way, no way …"

The third-year student's words were drowned out by the wind. Kouenji's legs were as fast as if he was running in a well-kept field. He was as fast as a sprinter as he glided through the trees. Most of the twelve members of the free group were proud of their physical strength and in the OAA, their physical abilities are above a B.

These are the soldiers, so to speak, that Nagumo and Kiriyama have brought together to monopolize many of the tasks.

"Chase him! Don't let him escape!" "Wait, Mikitani, don't act on your own!"

"Shut! I won't let him get away twice! Catch him and drag him! "

Ignoring the instructions, Mikitani and the others went after Kouenji.

"Moron…"

Kiriyama, who had momentarily wondered if he should hunt him down, calmly looked at his tablet and rethought his strategy.

It was hard to believe that Kouenji had started running for no reason. They should consider whether his goal is a designated area or a task.

“There is a task at E3 that Kouenji can participate in. But the reward is 8 points for first place or … No wonder the reward for first place of 10 points is the highest priority, but where is the designated zone for the… guys? "

D4 is the most likely direction, but it could also be any other random zone. "This is not a good place to analyze …"
