She Seems Like She's About to Die (Continued)

Even if the school opts for security checks, he is confident he can smuggle some critical supplies, such as lighters, from the ship.

The more troublesome issues are the containers and the dwelling.

Since we can't openly carry large items, we have to find a way to build them using local materials.

Fortunately, he had already learned the basic setup method beforehand. Although he wasn't very confident that he could do it perfectly, he figured he could manage for the next few days.

If the classmates suffer a little, they'll always find a way to get through it.

Ultimately, it's just a survival exam; the school shouldn't just abandon its students.

Although we don't know the specific exam standards or how the scores will be calculated, we can always find a way to "withdraw" a few students who can't keep up and hand them over to the school to reduce the burden.

"Oh."

Ryuen Kakeru is full of confidence.

"Line up, everyone. We'll start with Class A to disembark. Also, Personal Terminal are prohibited on the island. Please hand them over to your class advisors."

The class teacher, who was maintaining order and guiding students off the ship, shouted loudly, while multiple staff members stood guard on the only way to disembark.

Looking at the disembarkation point in the distance, Ryuen Kakeru suddenly felt a little less confident.

Because, something seems a little off.

The order of disembarkation was from A to D, but it took much longer than anyone expected.

The reason is simple.

The school needs to conduct security checks.

Every student disembarking had to be checked. The teachers, armed with metal detectors, were like demons guarding the gates of hell. In addition to scanning every angle without any blind spots, they even required students to take off their shoes!

Since personal belongings are not allowed, suitcases and backpacks are naturally not permitted. Even if they were allowed, given the school's approach, they would probably provide X-ray scanning equipment.

With such stringent security checks, who exactly are they trying to prevent?

Tell me, tell me?!

"..." Ryuen Kakeru wanted to curse.

The only saving grace was that, while waiting for Class A and Class B to go through security checks and disembark in turn, he managed to observe a few patterns in the checks.

Metal detectors scan all areas, from individual hairs to the soles of feet, meaning it's virtually impossible to carry metal objects.

The separate hand checks by male and female teachers will cover most areas, and students will be asked to take off their shoes for the checks, but they will not touch private parts or hair.

In other words, boys have two safe zones, and girls have three safe zones.

Considering the metal rings in the bra, even if it gets scanned by a metal detector, it can be easily bypassed. And with a metal hair clip, one could probably slip some small items in by timing it slightly. All things considered, although the amount of supplies that can be carried is far less than originally expected, it is still within an acceptable range.

"Hey, Ibuki." So, in a low voice, Ryuen Kakeru called out, "Tell the girls not to be too nervous, and to do as I say."

He explained his plans.

But as soon as she said it, Ibuki Mio's face fell:

"Ha?"

"No, absolutely not, it's impossible, you should give up." She said the negative words one after another without hesitation, "Putting it in your hair with a hair clip is fine, but don't even think about it anywhere else."

Are you crazy? Hiding in a place like that is just too much.

The thought of having to take it from there and give it to everyone when we get to the island is disgusting.

"It's okay if you don't bring it." Unexpectedly, Ryuen Kakeru didn't force her to comply, but said quietly, "Then you'll just have to reluctantly have a boy bring it."

Ibuki Mio's expression froze instantly.

This is an absolutely open and aboveboard scheme.

Once those words were spoken, she had no chance of refusing.

Although the gender antagonism in Class C was not as severe as in Class D, it was absolutely impossible for them to use things that boys took out of their pockets.

I can't accept it.

"...I understand." Ibuki Mio managed to squeeze out those words, feeling utterly frustrated.

Although she obediently turned and walked towards the girl, she had already cursed Ryuen Kakeru's ancestors for eighteen generations in her heart.

Hesitantly, she relayed Ryuen's arrangements to the girl, only to receive an extremely resistant response.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"I... I can't accept it..."

"Shiina Hiyori, could you go Shiina Hiyori talk to Ryuen about this...? I don't want to be stuffed in there..."

Well, this reaction was clearly not unexpected.

"He said if you don't want to bring your own, then use the boys' clothes, but the way the boys bring theirs to the island is the same as for us." With a blank expression, Ibuki Mio relayed Ryuen Kakeru's words.

"..."

Silence descended.

Everyone suddenly realized what the problem was.

"... How exactly do we do it?" a girl asked softly, breaking the silence.

Ibuki Mio explained the arrangements at Ryuen in a low voice, and also instructed them to selectively allocate some of the supplies.

Some students stuffed medicine into their mouths, some hid matches, and some stuffed compressed biscuits into their mouths...

They still didn't dare to put the knife in their hands; it was better to leave that kind of thing to the boys.

It's a bit disgusting, but if it's disinfected... it should be usable, right?

Time passed by, and the students in the front row passed through security one after another.

Perhaps because the students are the main focus, although it seems strict, it's not actually as strict as one might imagine.

At least the vast majority of students in Class C passed safely.

Aside from a few students who weren't calm enough, and Ryuen, who appeared calm but was caught for carrying metal objects, there was Ryuen.

"Why were you carrying a knife?" The teacher, frowning, questioned the knife found on Ryuen Kakeru.

The atmosphere in Class C suddenly became quite tense.

Fortunately, Ryuen Kakeru remained calm, and he said in a very composed manner:

"Cutting fruit? What, can't I bring it?"

"No, didn't I say that personal belongings are prohibited?" The teacher confiscated the knife, saying, "Besides, carrying a knife is too dangerous, so I'm taking it away."

"Really, why wasn't it detected during security check before boarding?"

What would a student want to do if he carried a knife with him?

After making a few casual complaints and checking it again, the teacher ultimately allowed Ryuen to pass.

Ryuen Kakeru glanced at Class D, who were finally starting security checks and disembarking, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

This time, I will definitely be victorious.

He was that confident.

The midday sun was scorching, just as the diary had described. On this day, when the sun was at its highest point during summer vacation, the Uninhabited Island Special Exam was about to begin.

Hiding in Kamuro Masumi's shadow, Sakayanagi Arisu somewhat dazed.

Sweat dripped and condensed on the ends of my hair, and the feeling of heat rolled up in waves.

She regretted it.

Given her physical condition, she didn't actually need to disembark in the first place.

Even if someone loses 30 points at the start due to absence, no one will dare to complain at all.

But, because of the Diary's provocation, because of her competitive spirit...

To confirm whether the rules of this Special Exam were as described in the Diary, and whether that guy had concealed any crucial rules.

She came down.

Even though she was supposed to return to the ship after confirming the rules and explaining her plans to Kamuro Masumi, she still got off.

Although she regretted it on the spot, she still got off!

This is a victory!

"First of all, I'm glad you all arrived safely today." Just after the last person from Class D disembarked, their Class B homeroom teacher, Mashima Tomoya, finally cleared his throat twice and began to speak.

Predictably, the rather tedious opening remarks are about to begin.

Therefore, Sakayanagi Arisu interrupted without hesitation:

"There's no need for further explanation, teacher. Let's announce the rules."

She was going to faint if he wasted any more time.

"..." Seeing his class leader speak like this, Mashima Tomoya was silent for a moment, then shrugged. "Well, it seems some students already know what the school is going to do."

"Now, we'll begin the first Special Exam of the year."

As soon as the words were spoken, the students in Class D became restless.

"Ha?"

"Special Exam?"

"I've never heard of such a thing before?"

"Didn't we agree on a vacation?"

"Hahahaha, you mediocrities, no need to panic." In the agitated Class D, only Koenji Rokusuke tossed his dazzling blond hair and laughed heartily, "Look around you, it seems you're the only ones who don't know about this."

Following his words, the students in Class D couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the other three classes.

As expected, just as he said, Class A, Ichinose was, showed no surprise whatsoever, while Class B, Sakayanagi Arisu, actively urged their homeroom teacher to announce the rules, and Class C...

Class C's reaction was rather strange. They seemed unsurprised by the exam, but subtly, they seemed a little... unaccustomed to being on the beach?

Many girls seem to be frequently adjusting the position of their clothes.

In short, just as Koenji said, it seems that only Class D was completely unaware of the true nature of this Uninhabited Island trip.

"... ha?"

"You, you all knew there would be an exam?!" Yamauchi Haruki was dumbfounded. He turned his head and glanced at the students in the other classes, blinking his eyes, completely stunned.

The students in Class B scoffed:

"A defective product is a defective product. The implication is so obvious. Did you really think it was just a normal tour?"

"As expected, Class D truly deserves its reputation for getting a zero in the first month of school."

The mocking laughter rose and fell, but was quickly silenced by Sakayanagi Arisu slamming her cane heavily on the ground.

"Okay, let the teacher finish explaining the rules first, then you'll have plenty of time to laugh at them," she said.

Although she also wanted to laugh at those idiots in Class D, especially Horikita Suzune who had already obtained the information through her Diary but had no intention of sharing it with her classmates.

However, she was in a hurry to get back to the ship, so it would be better to appropriately stop her inappropriate remarks.

... I really don't understand why Horikita Suzune hasn't been able to integrate and lead Class D by now.

Is she not planning to become the leader?

Sakayanagi Arisu's doubts were quickly replaced by Mashima Tomoya's explanation of the rules.

First, the exam schedule is seven days, no problem.

Secondly, there were the initial supplies: two tents, two flashlights, and a box of matches for each class, unlimited sunscreen and sanitary products, and a toothbrush for each person. The Diary didn't mention this, only saying that they were basic supplies that were not very useful.

Then came the 300 points, the guidebook, the penalty for absence, and most importantly, the 'additional rules'.

Surprisingly, all the content was consistent with what had been mentioned in the Diary before.

... He didn't lie or hide anything this time?

A strange light flashed in Sakayanagi Arisu's eyes.
