First meeting of class leaders? Identity guess big oolong...

The Tian Shu Sha exam is nearing its end, with only the Class D Lord group yet to finish.

It wasn't that Room D's matches were particularly intense, but rather that the people in Room D communicated more.

Currently, the situation is greatly in favor of Class D, with five players who received the Rebel identity achieving victory.

Considering that in previous simulations, the Rebel role had the lowest win rate.

Class D has accumulated a total of 90 Class Points.

Although compared to the scores of other classes, which are close to or exceeding 700, 90 is still negligible, they were at 0 points before.

After this Tian Shu Sha exam concludes, Class D will have at least 100 CL, which has made everyone in Class D very excited!

Thus, everyone's attention turned to the final match, the live broadcast of Room D with Horikita Suzune as the Lord.

Time shifts back slightly, Room D.

Class D Lord Room:

Position 1 (Class D): Horikita Suzune (Lord)

Position 2 (Class A): Katsuragi Kouhei

Position 3 (Class D): Ayanokoji Kiyotaka

Position 4 (Class C): Ryuen Kakeru

Position 5 (Class B): Ichinose Honami

Identities confirmed.

Round 1 begins:

The distances between everyone are 11111 → 02220.

Ryuen sneered, "What an interesting group of faces. Aside from one superfluous fellow, the leaders of each first-year class are gathered here. It would be nice to play mahjong."

This Room D match was indeed the first unexpected meeting of the leaders from each class.

Horikita: "Ryuen, were Tennoji's actions all under your command?"

Ryuen laughed heartily, a smirk on his lips, "What? Horikita, do you want to cancel that contract now? You can. In this exam, if you only kill the follower scum beside you, I might consider it."

Ichinose was curious to hear Tennoji's name at this moment.

Katsuragi was curious about the so-called contract between CD.

Horikita snorted. She and Ichinose, who was in the reverse position, were at distance 0 from her this round, making them killable.

However, after consideration, Horikita believed the outcomes of other rooms were unknown. As the Lord who carried the hopes of her class, she had to play it safe.

She decided not to attack those whose identities were unclear and passed.

It was position 2, Katsuragi's turn.

Ryuen: "Heh, so indecisive. This game is only fun when played quickly. You, 1-point Lord, just wait for me to kill you."

Katsuragi could kill either neighbor this round, but he also passed without acting.

Position 3, Ayanokoji, was in the same situation as Katsuragi and also passed.

It was Ryuen's turn at position 4. "You guys are truly interesting. As agreed, I choose to kill you, 1-point Lord Horikita."

Horikita scoffed at such an open act of betrayal, considering it the lowest win rate strategy.

"No dodge." Horikita had 4 HP.

Position 5, Ichinose, followed the same steps as Ryuen, attacking Horikita.

Horikita was shocked. As the Lord, she was perfectly positioned to be attacked by two Rebels right from the start?

She gritted her teeth. In this case, her reverse position meant facing two Rebels consecutively, making the situation more difficult than imagined.

Now, she could only hope for the actions of the Traitor and Loyalist in the next round.

However, looking at it this way, could Ayanokoji be the Loyalist? Or the Traitor?

She hoped he was the Non-Faction Traitor, so Class D could still use their numerical advantage to cheat.

"No dodge." Horikita had 3 HP.

Round 2 distances: 21121 (0 triggers priority positive compensation, max 0-2)

Horikita was troubled. This round, she was distance 2 from Ryuen, so she could only choose to attack the adjacent Ichinose, who had also openly betrayed.

Ichinose did not dodge. Her HP became 3.

Katsuragi could only attack the next player in sequence, Ayanokoji, this round.

Logically, with two Rebels openly revealing themselves, they shouldn't be fighting each other now.

However, Katsuragi's objective was only to prevent the Traitor from winning alone!

Katsuragi himself was not the Traitor. With two Rebels openly revealed, it was highly likely that one was a Little Traitor pretending to be a Rebel from the start, which meant Ayanokoji could only be the Loyalist.

If one could view Katsuragi's inner thoughts from a God's Perspective, his identity had already been exposed.

Katsuragi is a rebel.

But his primary objective wasn't to kill the lord, so he didn't attack the lord in Round 1. Instead, he went for the little traitor first.

Ayanokōji was an extra person from Class D, so eliminating him early was the optimal solution for the sake of fairness.

Ayanokōji didn't dodge. 3 HP.

Horikita: "What are you doing, Katsuragi? Could it be you're the traitor? But is this how a traitor plays!?"

Katsuragi: "Horikita, you should worry about yourself first. My identity isn't important. Besides, in a normal game, it's not strange for the traitor to kill the loyalist at the start, let alone when the loyalist is suspected to be from your Class D."

Horikita was helpless. Katsuragi was right. In her eyes, Ayanokōji was indeed loyal at this moment.

Ryuen is a rebel, Ichinose is a rebel, Katsuragi is a traitor. This was her current assessment.

The worst possible distribution before the game was that two people from Class D would be in the same faction.

They would definitely be focused fired by the other three classes first, as 2v2 was much fairer than 2v1v1v1.

In the next round, Ayanokōji counter-attacked Katsuragi with One Slash. He didn't dodge, leaving Katsuragi with 3 HP.

Ryuen: "Ah, what a shame. I couldn't kill the lord."

Ryuen's true identity was actually a loyalist!

He attacked the lord at the start partly because he disliked Horikita, and partly to gauge everyone's identities.

For example, now, he was only unsure whether Katsuragi or Ayanokōji was the traitor.

If Ichinose was a traitor pretending to be a rebel, then the other side would be two rebels fighting each other, which would also be interesting.

Because Ryuen acted as a rebel while being a loyalist from the start, the identity suspicions among the four people in Room D became the most complicated.

Ryuen's range this round was 2. Besides Horikita's 2, he could kill others with a range of 1, but would he kindly help his lord kill the enemy?

"Kill Katsuragi."

The difference between choosing to kill Katsuragi or Ayanokōji was not significant for Ryuen, but for some reason, he wanted to kill someone from Class A more.

Katsuragi didn't dodge. 2 HP.

At this moment, in Katsuragi's eyes, the identities of the other three were preliminarily clear:

Ayanokōji is loyal, Ryuen is a traitor, Ichinose is a rebel.

It's stable. They wouldn't kill the lord together at the start, would they?

Katsuragi was confident in his judgment, so his goal was simple: kill Ryuen first!

If he could land a finishing blow on the lord later, he would prioritize it. After all, the traitor must not win!

As for Ichinose, she couldn't kill anyone, so it didn't matter. She called out.

Round 3 range: 12220

Ichinose: "Another turn where I can't move. Hi~"

Horikita had no choice but to attack Ichinose, who was openly a rebel, leaving her with 2 HP.

Rebel Katsuragi Kōhei fell into deep thought. Should he kill the lord or the loyalist this round?

His rebel teammate, Ichinose, had a range of 0 for two out of three rounds.

Quickly killing the lord seemed difficult.

And Ryuen, who he saw as the traitor, was still at full health of 4 HP? While Ichinose beside him only had 2 HP.

Could it be that the traitor Ryuen would snatch the buff?

The traitor was at a great advantage. This was the situation Katsuragi least wanted to see.

And he, a rebel, was caught between the lord and the loyalist. Was he supposed to kill the lord himself?

Right! Katsuragi hadn't killed the lord yet. In Horikita's eyes, he was the traitor.

So he wouldn't kill the lord. He would pretend to be the traitor! Let everyone focus fire on Ryuen, the real traitor.

It was a shame for his teammate Ichinose, as Katsuragi could accept the lord winning even if he had to throw the game, but he couldn't accept the traitor winning alone.

Katsuragi: "End Turn."

Horikita: "Hmph, you finally figured out how a traitor should play?"

Katsuragi's actions did arouse a hint of concern in Ryuen.

And so...

Ryuen the loyalist's perspective currently believes: Ichinose is a rebel, Ayanokōji is a rebel? Katsuragi is a traitor?

Katsuragi the rebel's perspective currently believes: Ichinose is a rebel, Ryuen is a traitor, Ayanokōji is loyal.

Horikita the lord's perspective currently believes: Ichinose is a rebel, Ryuen is a rebel, Ayanokōji is loyal, Katsuragi is a traitor.

Ichinose the rebel's perspective currently believes: Ryuen is a rebel, Ayanokōji is loyal, Katsuragi is a traitor.

Except for Ichinose's rebel identity, everyone else's was completely wrong!?

What about Ayanokōji's perspective?

He was clearly the real traitor.

As everyone knows, the traitor is the easiest identity to determine, as long as you find the loyalist.

But in this Room D game, on the surface, from Ayanokōji's perspective, the loyalist should most likely be Katsuragi.

However, Katsuragi is now pretending to be his little traitor identity?

Could he be the loyalist?

No, looking back from Ayanokōji's perspective, Katsuragi was exposed in the first round.

Katsuragi was 2 distance from 2, himself 2, and Horikita 0.

If he were the loyalist, did he choose not to kill himself, who was ranked, in order to protect the secret?

Not only that, he didn't kill anyone among the Class D members he could have reached on either side.

Then that's too disloyal. Did he not want to win this game at all?

And if he wasn't the loyalist, he didn't kill the leader, nor the extra people from Class D, and couldn't be the traitor.

So, it's very simple... What if he's the traitor?

Thus, Ayanokōji's current perspective is:

Katsuragi is the traitor but pretending to be the traitor, Ryuen is the loyalist but pretending to be the traitor, Ichinose is the traitor but being baited.

All correct!

Actually, it's not something to be proud of for the traitor to guess others' identities correctly.

In another two rounds, the current identity misunderstandings in Room D will be resolved, and these intelligent leaders will all figure it out.

Ayanokōji also has no interest in deepening their misunderstandings further.

Ayanokōji is indifferent to the outcome of this game.

The loyalist originally had the least HP, and he, now a traitor with 5 HP, is actually the true loyalist of Class D. This game is likely to be a win for Class D due to internal chaos.

What Ayanokōji is considering more at this moment is some other hidden meaning behind this preferential treatment exam...
