Ichinose Honami! Class B's Decision-Maker! Running Ahead at Full Speed! (cont.)
There was no way around it; the sun was getting increasingly scorching, so the area where the teachers were resting was the coolest.
These are students from Class D, who sold all 300 of their base points after trading with Class C.
However, this is a private transaction between students, and the basic scores can only be used by students in that class.
Since Class C are not yet stable, they have not yet redeemed supplies. Therefore, Class D can only send one student to the supply redemption point to wait and cooperate with Class C in redeeming supplies.
That's why Nakano-kun is here.
However, Nakano-kun has never liked being drafted, so he came here to get some free information from Chabashira-sensei.
As a result, I was named.
"This guy has been asking me some really weird questions since the beginning."
"I think you might pay attention to this."
"Chabashira said. Then she gestured with her lips."
"Go ahead and say it."
Do you think so?
The question was clearly directed at you; are you expecting him to just blurt it out?
However, it wasn't exactly news that needed to be kept secret, because students from Ryuuen Class and Class A had all gathered there, and the reason was probably quite straightforward.
Neither class could find a place to stay, and if they stayed in someone else's territory for too long, they would be penalized.
Therefore, we had no choice but to obediently evacuate to this public area first.
Most likely, they've come to realize the current situation.
"It's not really a strange problem."
Despite being watched by so many classmates, Nakano behaved quite well.
"The question is simply whether students are allowed to use the supplies at the stronghold freely once they have captured it."
"For example, if we pick all the apples from an apple tree, is that really okay?"
"If we pick them all, the school won't mind, will they?"
"Nakano Yuu said."
"If it's food with good economic value, can the school be responsible for recycling it?"
"..."
Chabashira.
The Chabashira n't answer immediately because he found Nakano Yuu's statement strange. What did he mean by stripping all the apple trees bare and selling them to the school? Was he really that heartless?
And.
Your Class D is still in the original beach area, and hasn't even entered a single outpost area, so you're already thinking about supplies for other people's outposts?
"That's one way to understand it."
Chabashira said, "However, your request is really outrageous. Would you like to hear what you're saying?"
So what is he saying?
Nakano was simply asking if he could take the supplies from the island.
For example, the school might be responsible for recycling, but even if they don't, they'd still like to receive a certificate stating that the fruits and vegetables are non-toxic and harmless. This would make it easier for them to find a market.
However, this statement was enough to attract the attention of Katsuragi and Ryuuen.
"Why would you want to resell supplies from outposts, or is it because you still have a chance to capture outposts and gain points?"
Katsuragi said directly.
Katsuragi is currently experiencing considerable mental anguish.
They were initially confident of victory, even believing they were about to achieve a resounding success in their opening battle.
Result.
The purchase price of 1.2 million for the telescope and camera has been paid.
Then, the deal was also made with Class D to contract out the material expenditures for his class using the basic points.
Even the 50 points that Ryuuen paid to have Class D confirm the team leader's information seem like a freebie.
Then all you need to do is capture the strongholds and honestly collect the points.
Go to the outpost to check in 3 times a day.
But.
It ended before it even began.
He arranged for Yahiko to become the leader of Class A in advance, and then had Yahiko use the leader card to raid the bases in the White Tower area. By gaining access to that area, they could find more bases.
This is his deployment.
When he returned to the initial beach area of Class A, he found that Yahiko had actually come back, but he hurriedly told him that the White Tower had been occupied.
Oh.
I see.
It's quite a headache.
However, they were not in dire straits.
So he decided to take Yahiko and first occupy the known strongholds in the area divided between Ryuuen.
He's a person who prefers stability.
But.
Upon arriving at each outpost, one would see the message: "Bclass, remaining usage time varies from 06:50 to 07:20".
All the outposts, all the outposts listed in his notebook, had been occupied by Class B in advance!
For Katsuragi, it was undoubtedly a devastating blow.
He immediately realized that something might have gone wrong, and then he realized that the students in his class were also exhausted from running around with him, so he had no choice but to come to the supplies exchange point.
It turned out that Ryuuen had encountered the same thing as him.
Furthermore, the time records of the card readers encountered at Ryuuen were also strange. The actual interval between card swiping at two adjacent checkpoints was only about 5 minutes, but such a speed is not something that ordinary students can achieve.
So he also hoped that there might be a problem with the card reader's settings.
But now.
It seems, it seems the card reader is working fine.
"..."
Ryuuen stared intently at Nakano Yuu.
At least, Ryuuen believed that Nakano Yuu would sell off whatever he could. So he wasn't surprised that Nakano Yu would say something like that.
For example, in that apple orchard he came across, if he picked all the apples, and if he wasn't eating them himself, he might be able to sell them for cash.
After all, those apples were excellent in both taste and appearance. However, Ryuuen felt that he probably wouldn't have thought of that aspect.
Therefore, in terms of monetization, he admits that Nakano Yuu is more impressive than him.
But now... you bastard?!
You want to sell supplies, specifically supplies from the outpost? Your class is practically guaranteed a zero on this exam, and you're still thinking about taking over the outpost?
Do you still have strongholds to occupy?
"I have not occupied any strongholds."
Nakano Yuu honestly replied.
"But I've partnered with Class B. After the students from Class B take over the stronghold, they'll give me 70% of the supplies."
"Therefore, I have the right to use most of the supplies in the strongholds they occupy."
"If the apple is something I can pick, then I want to pick it and take it with me when the exam is over."
"Nakano Yuu said."
"Mentioning Apple."
At this moment, the homeroom teacher of Class C suddenly interrupted.
"Ryuuen, I suddenly received a deduction notice. You have been deducted 10 base points for eating the apples that were taken over by Class B without permission."
Forehead.
Ryuuen's expression instantly fell silent.
"Katsuragi, you guys aren't being careful enough."
At this moment, the homeroom teacher of Class A also spoke up.
Clearly, neither group noticed that the stronghold had already been occupied by Class B, and then they took advantage of the stronghold's supplies: Class A received Fragrant Pear, while Class C received apples.
Katsuragi couldn't deny that the Fragrant Pear from Class A were picked by his own people who thought he had found a base, deliberately to show off the benefits of following the Katsuragi Faction.
The plan backfired, and by the time he discovered the camera, it was too late.
So now -5 points.
However, deducting only 5 points is still within an acceptable range.
Only.
"So, Class B really did occupy that many strongholds?"
Katsuragi Road.
"It's impossible for Class B to have intelligence on so many outposts. And it's also impossible for them to arrive at another outpost and swipe their card in just a few minutes."
"This is easy to explain."
"Nakano Yuu said."
"I gave them to them."
"Why would you think that I, having spotted the ship circling the island beforehand, would simply ignore everything and sell you the camera and binoculars?"
"Naturally, it's because there's nothing left to see."
"Nakano Yuu said."
"As for getting from one outpost to another in less than 5 minutes..."
"Nakano Yuu said."
"What if the student didn't act on their own?"
"They asked Koenji to guide them."
As for the Koenji here, Nakano-kun only mentioned the name, but Ryuuen and Katsuragi immediately understood.
As a fellow male, no one is unaware of the sudden appearance of a super fit man on the ship.
Furthermore, Koenji even had a direct competition with Sudo, a sports student, and won perfectly.
Even Katsuragi thought Koenji was a monster.
The speed of such a monster is indeed beyond the comprehension of a normal human.
At the same time, Katsuragi also noticed that there were many tall trees on the island, so Koenji might not take the same route as them, such as jumping directly from tree to tree like Tarzan.
Students with exceptional physical abilities are not incapable of doing such things.
Therefore...
Kouenji Rokusuke.
Class B.
Is it really that interconnected?
Why did you choose to cooperate with Class B?
Katsuragi said in a deep voice, and Ryuuen had already gotten the answer. Although he didn't speak, he also wanted to know why Nakano Yuu would choose to trade with Class B.
