The first-place reward was the largest, so betting on the right first-place finisher meant everyone benefited.
So.
Since they were being greedy, naturally they wanted the biggest prize.
So if they could obtain information about first place, then... naturally, they wanted it.
"I want fifty percent of the extra rewards from your class in this exam," Oreki said.
"Okay," Hiyori immediately agreed.
"And I also want your classmates' Extra Cards, Lead Cards, Trial Cards, and Hitchhiker Cards," Oreki said.
That was quite an outrageous demand.
He was taking Class C's item cards for free, then demanding half their earnings as well.
As Class C's strategist, Hiyori had compiled the information after receiving the item cards sent by the school and discovering that every student's item cards had also been updated in the OAA system.
This time, Class C's students had been rather fortunate. Six students had Hitchhiker Cards, and they also had five Extra Cards.
At the same time, Kaneda had a Trial Card.
Their luck seemed pretty good.
And all of those could serve as capital.
But now.
Was Oreki going to sweep away all those chips in one go?
Still.
"I understand. That's fine," Shiina said.
Although Oreki's price was excessive, this was only the Uninhabited Island exam.
Based on the information they had obtained, the school held a charitable event once every year.
It would adjust both class evaluation points and Private Points to the maximum.
It was an opportunity for clever students to earn rewards.
So, just as last year, there would likely be something similar to the VIP Exam later on, with opportunities to gain the most points.
In other words, the current Uninhabited Island exam was just an appetizer. The real money would come afterward.
With that in mind, this was merely a taste.
