Chapter 118
At least for now, he can only make ordinary people ignore him as much as possible, but he has no way to stop technological means of investigation.
"Ryuen had contacted you before, right?"
The presence of Koenji Rokusuke was not unexpected; upon arriving at the ambush site, he intuitively sensed the source of all the danger.
If he hadn't known that the other party only wanted to watch the show and hadn't personally participated in the conflict, Aragaki Shun would definitely not have minded having one more person lying on the ground.
"Yes." Koenji didn't hide anything and said directly and openly, "Dragonboy contacted me and told me not to come and take over this base tonight."
Clearly, Koenji had no reason to reject the suggestion.
When Class A and Class C fight, Class B will always be the one who benefits.
Needless to say, he was extremely curious about the process and outcome of the conflict.
As for personally joining Ryuen Kakeru's gang attack... sorry, as the heir to a conglomerate, he wouldn't do something so undignified; it would be far too unseemly.
Aragaki Shun understood this, which is why he decisively chose to let Koenji go.
Violence may be the strongest force in the world, but someone like Ryuen, who only knows how to swing his fists, is at best a stray dog on the roadside. In the eyes of the upper class, he doesn't even qualify as a front man.
What does it mean to be free from fear and able to turn the tide and become the ultimate victor through relentless persistence?
If you really anger someone you shouldn't mess with, just slap them to death and don't give them a second chance to offend you.
Aragaki Shun simply couldn't understand why the other party was so arrogant, wanting to rule everything with violence. Shouldn't they at least develop to a level where they could defend against modern firearms before they even start talking?
Otherwise, no matter how strong your fist is, a single bullet can knock you down—that would be ridiculous!
After calmly glancing at the pit- Ryuen, Aragaki Shun walked to a large tree a dozen meters away and took a hidden camera from it.
Naturally, this thing is working.
"It seems Dragonboy is quite clever; he actually prepared in advance to drag you down with him if he fails."
Koenji looked at the camera with great interest, secretly admiring Aragaki Shun's keen insight.
According to Article 4 of the supplementary rules, if a student commits acts of violence, looting, or damage to equipment against other classes, the class to which the student belongs will immediately be disqualified, and all Private Points of the individual will be confiscated.
It's clear that Ryuen Kakeru's plan is that if he can't beat Aragaki Shun in a group fight, he'll use this video to prove that they were fighting each other.
Even if Class C bears most of the responsibility, as long as they can drag Aragaki Shun into this mess, they will be the ultimate winners in this incident.
After all, Aragaki Shun has more than ten times more Private Points than all the members of Class C combined.
If this huge sum of money were confiscated, both Class B and Class C would be able to breathe a sigh of relief under his pressure, and the entire situation of the first year would change.
Of course, this possibility is actually very slim, after all, the conflict itself was provoked by Ryuen and his group.

The Tyrant of Class C was actually betting that the school, in order to balance the competition among the first-year students, assigned him the responsibility for excessive self-defense.
The problem is that both the Student Council President and the Board Chairman, the top leaders of the two major official institutions on campus, are on his side... Ryuen was completely unaware of this, which is why he made such an impossible bet.
"If he wants to drag me into this, he should first explain where these pits came from and what so many people are doing lying in ambush here."
"The line between legitimate self-defense and excessive self-defense is indeed somewhat blurred, but where does he get the confidence to compare his power and connections within the school with mine?"
As for inciting public opinion and pressuring the school to deal with the matter severely... you should first recognize your reputation at Advanced Nurturing.
If a violent incident occurs, let alone other classes, just considering the students in Class C, who will they think of first? Don't they have any self-awareness?
With a cold laugh, Aragaki Shun took the camera away, then walked over to the unconscious Class C members and kicked them twice, forcibly waking up these Ryuen lackeys.
"It hurts! It hurts so much! What's wrong with me?"
"Hiss~ Why is everyone lying on the ground? What happened?"
"Ahhh!!! What happened? Where's Boss Ryuen... Wait, what's this...?"
"New New Aragaki... you... you... why...?"
The boys in Class C, their minds still a bit dazed, got up from the ground. At first, they felt sore all over, but when they saw Aragaki Shun, they immediately looked like they had seen a ghost, stammering and unable to even finish their sentences.
Some people sat on the ground and instinctively backed away, some looked around tremblingly, and some instinctively wanted to find Ryuen, the instigator of this incident. The scene suddenly became very chaotic.
"Shut up!" Aragaki Shun coldly snapped, and the commotion immediately vanished.
These thugs who succumb to violence will slide to their knees faster than anyone else when faced with significantly stronger violence.
In addition, Class C has always been a poor class, and Ryuen has never had enough Private Points to spare, let alone spare money to do good deeds.
So when the members of Class C saw the disheveled Tyrant, who was already unconscious, right in the middle of the path, a strange feeling naturally welled up in their hearts.
This is the drawback of maintaining rule entirely through violence: when a leader is defeated by stronger violence, the foundation of his rule will naturally crumble silently.
Of course, these thugs, who weren't very bright, weren't thinking that far ahead. Right now, they were just instinctively obeying Aragaki Shun, the victor and the stronger one.
"Ryuen tripped and fell while rushing to grab a spot. To prevent any internal injuries, please take him back to Class C's camp and have the teachers send him back to the cruise ship to rest!"
Without any politeness, Aragaki Shun pointed at Ishizaki Daichi and Yamada Albert, instructing them to pull Ryuen up, or simply drag him away if they felt uncomfortable doing so.
The students of Class C exchanged glances, and under the indifferent gaze of the Leader of Class A, they finally obediently walked to the center of the path.
Seeing the disheveled state of the Tyrant of Class C, Ishizaki Daichi swallowed hard, feeling a lingering fear.
How serious must the injuries be? With so many of them making such a commotion, why couldn't they wake up the leader of Ryuen?
Without daring to think too much, Ishizaki and Albert quickly worked together to lift Ryuen out of the pit.
Aragaki Shun calmly observed the group's actions, then turned to Koenji and said, "I'll go to Class C's camp to handle the aftermath. I'll leave the remaining outposts to you to take over."
Koenji Rokusuke glanced thoughtfully at the timid Class C members and nodded, but inwardly he was troubled by the upcoming class competition.
Now that he'd been transferred to Class B, he wanted to have a good match with Aragaki Shun. However, it seemed that both Class C and Class D had become subservient to Class A, and turning the tide in this situation wouldn't be easy.
"Hey~ Ryuen has to withdraw from this Uninhabited Island Exam due to injury, so his leadership position will be invalid. You now need to decide on a new leader for Class C."
When Aragaki Shun arrived at Class C's camp with the unconscious Ryuen and the group of thugs, the Class C members were initially surprised, but quickly accepted the reality.
Sakagami Kazuma looked particularly dejected. He had just asked the others who had gone out with Ryuen, only to hear them all insist that Ryuen had been injured accidentally while fighting for the capture point.
Hehe~ It's a lie that's so obviously fake, but no one can expose it.
In fact, even Sakagami Kazuma was unaware of Ryuen's plan.
But by simply recalling this tyrant's style of doing things, anyone familiar with him can easily understand what this group of people were up to.
Judging from the current situation, Ryuen has, unsurprisingly, suffered another predictable defeat.
In this way, the other members of Class C who were acting with him would naturally choose to accept the explanation that Aragaki Shun gave off offhand.
Otherwise, it would be a minor issue if Class C withdrew from the exam due to violence; what's even more unacceptable is that all of their Private Points would be confiscated.
That won't do. Even if they have little savings, it's still a real source of living expenses!
Having given up on advancing to Class A, their only hope now is to use this money to make their lives a little easier in Advanced Nurturing.
"Is Ryuen badly damaged?"
Upon hearing Sakagami Kazuma's words, someone stepped forward with a flicker in their eye.
Aragaki Shun glanced at the other person and found their name in his memory— Tokito Yuya.
Although he was an insignificant nobody, the other party seemed to have other ideas at this moment.
"According to the school doctor's examination, Ryuen had multiple injuries, suspected to be caused by a fall from a height."
The school doctor advised him to rest for at least a month and not to move around freely during that time.
The homeroom teacher of Class C sighed; he had already noticed that many students in the class were behaving strangely.
Naturally, Ryuen, as a tyrant, was not popular in the class. Almost no one on the field cared about his injury; they all subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief because they had been free from oppression for a month.
"Hey~ the exam isn't over yet, hurry up and decide on a new leader so I can go make the Key Card."
"Give it to Ibuki."
Ignoring the bewildered expressions of the Class C members, Aragaki Shun directly spoke up to help them make a choice, instructing the Class C homeroom teacher to change the new leader to Ibuki Mio.
"You just need to register your name. I and Koenji will complete the final round of capturing the strongholds tomorrow morning."
Seeing the blue-haired girl step forward with a displeased expression, and with no objections from the others in Class C, Sakagami Kazuma sighed and finally went to make a new Key Card in frustration.
He knew that once Ryuen Kakeru was completely defeated and returned in a sorry state, the tyrant's rule over Class C would come to an end.
Their prestige was built on violence, and after suffering defeat after defeat last semester, even the last vestige of their prestige has been destroyed... In this situation, besides their die-hard loyalists, who else would be willing to continue obeying Ryuen's orders?
No one is born inherently inferior. What right does a leader who shows no kindness to his own people, only oppression, and achieves nothing in external affairs have to stand above everyone and act recklessly?
The key question now is: Does Ryuen still have any die-hard fans in Class C?
After this Special Exam, where will their class go from here?
Unaware of Sakagami Kazuma's inner turmoil, Aragaki Shun surveyed everyone in Class C's camp, pondered for a moment, and then gave direct instructions:
"I need you to sign a contract that will transfer all the base points from Class C's exam to me as a thank-you fee."
"I kindly saved him from danger, so it's not unreasonable for me to take some of his points as a reward, is it?"
Ibuki Mio: "..."
Class C students. "..."
I don't even know how to describe this. Does this so-called "rescue" mean beating someone so badly they have to be in a hospital bed and recover for at least a month?

Do you have any objections?
The Leader of Class A had a cold expression, and his body exuded an extraordinary sense of oppression.
"Ultimately, these stronghold points earned by Ryuen will never end up in your hands."
"Furthermore, I've already devised a test plan for the first year. As long as we follow the plan, everyone in the first year will benefit."
"But now, because Ryuen withdrew from the exam, and because of the camera he redeemed, Class C's temporary points will be reduced by 50 points. That means your monthly living expenses will be reduced by 5,000."
Aragaki Shun crossed his arms, and although his question wasn't loud, it was enough to make everyone in Class C's ears ring.
"Ryuen is incompetent. Do you want to fall into Class D along with him?"
"The choice must be made: friend or foe?"
188. The Uninhabited Island Exam has ended; the total score for the grade is 1730.
On the morning of August 7th, Aragaki Shun completed the final round of capturing strongholds.
When they returned to Class A's camp, Ichinose Honami was leading everyone in packing up and dealing with the remaining trash.
"Finally, we're leaving this place!"
Kobashi Yume wiped the sweat from her forehead and stretched wearily.
"I think it's fine. Although it's a bit less convenient than campus life, everyone is having a lot of fun, right?"
Wang Meiyu smiled; she didn't find the exam particularly difficult.
The girl had many wonderful memories on this Uninhabited Island, and if it weren't for the school's fixed schedule, she wouldn't mind staying there for a few more days.
Kobashi Yume: "..."
What else could she say? You and Chihiro sleep in the Cabin with the class monitor every day, and you have so much fun every night that you probably don't even want to go to school anymore!
The energetic girl with short, light blue hair hesitated, looking at her newly acquainted friend, before finally offering a meaningful, soft word of advice:
"Xiao Mei, I'm not trying to be mean, but you and Chihiro have been sleeping in late these past few days."
Even if some games are very fun, you should still pay attention to your health and play in moderation.
Even without experiencing it firsthand, Kobashi Yume could sense Aragaki Shun's unfathomable and almost limitless physical prowess.
What normal person, after running nineteen laps around the island in seven days, scrambling to find footholds on various hills, forests, and rivers, can still be energetic enough to comfort two young girls every night?
This level of energy is almost exaggerated!
Books say that women have an advantage in that kind of thing.
But now it seems she really has to worry about her two friends' nightlife.
If they don't exercise restraint, one day these two lewd girls will be tormented to death by the class monitor.
No wonder Chihiro so generous in sharing with others; every time she and Asako are invited, they are exceptionally enthusiastic, making Chihiro wonder if the other person has some kind of unusual hobby...
"Waaah~ Yume, what are you saying? Be careful, or Chihiro and I will tie you up and throw you into Aragaki-kun's bed, so you'll be stuck in bed the next day too."
