The Exam Is Over!

"Her hands were covered in dirt, probably from when Albert knocked her to the ground. But when I looked closer, I saw there was also a little dirt under her fingernails."

Therefore, it is speculated that she probably dug a hole with her hands and hid something there."

"If it's the kind of espionage you mentioned, then that's probably how they contacted Ryuuen."

This island is quite large; I don't think she could easily find where she hid the item. So, just to be safe, she would definitely mark the hiding place. And the hiding place is probably not far from where Class B's patrol found her."

"..."

Nakano Yuu.

[...]

By Amasawa, a junior student.

That's definitely Kushida's style. He has a strong ability to observe and sense the atmosphere, yet he can ignore all of that just to win over others.

She is indeed good at and enjoys doing this kind of thing.

But.

She usually puts on an act. But now she just blurted it out.

Didn't you see Horikita looking at her with some surprise, at a behavior so different from usual?

But Nakano understood. Kushida saying such things now meant she was probably in a bad mood yesterday, and he was likely the culprit.

"The identity of the leader of Class C has been verified; it's Ryuuen."

Nakano Yuu then added.

"Huh?"

Kushida was taken aback.

"So, the reason Horikita initiated the conversation with Ibuki just now was..."

Do you think Horikita Suzune is the kind of person who likes to meddle in other people's business?

Nakano Yuu said.

Kushida remained silent.

Yes.

Horikita Suzune could never be the kind of person who likes to meddle in other people's business, but she wouldn't say she doesn't care at all either.

She had confirmed this during the tutoring group's arrangements last month. Horikita was also a top student, but she would still put in a lot of effort when tutoring struggling students, even if it didn't help her own academic progress. In other words, Horikita Suzune was a person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

Therefore, she doesn't like Horikita.

On one hand, the other person was able to be consistent inside and out, something she lacked; on the other hand, Horikita also possessed admirable qualities.

However, it's unusual that Horikita went up to ask so readily today.

So, was this arranged by Nakano Yuu?

That despicable guy.

This confirms that Ibuki was a spy infiltrated into Class B, and then, through Horikita Suzune, she first probed and learned the identity of the leader of Class C!

About ten minutes later, Ichinose and her group, who had gone to Ryuuen to verify the information, returned.

They received information that Ryuuen had indeed fallen out with Ibuki and had Ibuki away as punishment. However, if Ibuki admitted her mistake, she could return.

However, this action is undoubtedly too domineering.

Therefore, the students in Class B decided to take the opportunity to report this to the teachers during the roll call at 8:00 AM the next day.

But Nakano Yuu felt that waiting until 8 a. m. the next day to take action was still a bit too late.

The reason was that, on the morning of the second day, Nakano found an extra item in his pocket.

Reach your hand in and feel around.

Oh.

Turns out, I got a pair of underwear.

Ibuki, even after joining Class B, are you still using the same old methods? Trying to cause chaos in Class B by stealing underwear.

But by hiding someone's underwear in his pocket, are you trying to get rid of him?

The time is exactly six o'clock.

"You got up really early today."

Nakano Yuu got up, washed up, and went to his bed.

It's confirmed that there was indeed an extra pair of underwear in his pocket, and that he didn't confiscate Kushida's underwear when they were together yesterday.

So this is the new one. And he sleeps in the tent, in the outermost spot, which is also the easiest place for his underwear to be stuffed in.

In other words, just like in the original story, Ibuki Mio started to disrupt Class B by stealing underwear.

However, before that, he didn't think there were too many problems.

Because the students in Class B are indeed a collection of saints, just like those in Class D. However, although the students in Class B are a collection of saints and little angels, they are still a higher-ranking class. Therefore, it is difficult for them to become like the boys and girls in Class D who are separated and fighting against each other when this happens.

So.

Until seven o'clock, Nakano Yuu did not hear any girl scream or shout that her underwear had been stolen.

Rather, it is.

"I took my underwear out to dry yesterday, but it probably got blown away by the wind."

It can't be found now.

Such a sound appeared.

Such small voices, once raised, are quickly suppressed. Most of them come from well-behaved students in the class, and when faced with a problem, their first thought is not that someone stole their underwear, but that they themselves lost it.

In the original story, there was also a student named Kaneda from Class C in Class B. He didn't cause this kind of trouble. Instead, he simply infiltrated Class B and obtained information about the leader of Class B through observation.

"After all, we need to farm outposts."

"Ichinose said."

"I heard there seems to be a slight commotion. What happened?"

Nakano Yuu asked knowingly.

"Yes, there was a slight commotion, but it shouldn't be anything serious. It's probably just a misunderstanding or something."

Ichinose Road.

Would you like to sit down for a while?

Nakano Yuu was sitting on the bed when he deliberately moved to the left, making room for him.

"..."

Ichinose.

Ichinose neither said yes nor no.

Nakano Yuu was watching Ichinose's expression.

"Actually, I discovered this this morning."

Nakano decided to confess. He took a clean pair of underwear out of his pocket.

"I don't know why, but I saw this when I woke up this morning. I think someone might have put it there on purpose. Because I'm not that kind of person."

"That's what Nakano said."

"This one."

Ichinose seemed to want to say something but hesitated, her cheeks slightly flushed, and then, as if she had finally given up resisting, she spoke.

"These are my underwear. I know you might be holding back, Nakano-kun, but this kind of thing is really inappropriate. It would be troublesome if I took the wrong ones."

Ah?

No.

80

Chapter 80 Exam, over!

Eight o'clock.

All the students still on the island went to the supply exchange point on the beach, and this time, the students from Class D were also there, but for no other reason.

"Ryuuen, haven't you gone too far?"

The students from Class B have surrounded Class C's Ryuuen, and their purpose is clear: to express their dissatisfaction with Ibuki's being driven away.

Meanwhile, Hirata- mama, the saintly mother of Class D, was also quite dissatisfied with Ryuuen's actions.

"Ultimately, it's about kicking a girl out of the camp."

Hirata felt this approach was wrong.

"Shut up."

Ryuuen, however, remained firm, saying, "This is Ibuki's own problem. If she had accepted my arrangements, this wouldn't have happened. Ultimately, this is a disadvantage of Class C; we need someone to take charge. And students who don't cooperate don't belong in Class C."

"..."

Students in Class A.

The students of Class A, who had already split into two factions, were watching this scene closely. It was fair to say that Ryuuen's words were an attack on them.

Because it's impossible for only one person to talk in their class.

Certainly.

Ryuuen isn't in the mood for that either.

"But to actually collect scraps, the students in Class B are quite the saints."

Ryuuen said mockingly.

"Aren't you afraid that Ibuki might be a spy who infiltrated your class?"

"Are you hoping that we'll abandon Ibuki too, and that she'll just be left like this?"

The students in Class B frowned.

"Besides, it's just an exam. Calling it espionage or something is a huge exaggeration."

Clearly, while the students in Class B maintained their Class B status and were aware of the competition within the class, they still hadn't fully grasped the reality.

That is, they are very upright, but their opponents may not be.

Those who cannot understand this are like lambs.

You'll suffer a great loss.

Katsuragi remained silent in Class A's camp. He knew very well that Ibuki was indeed sent by Ryuuen to spy on the leader of Class B.

Ryuuen deliberately pointed out that Ibuki was a spy in order to reduce the vigilance of Class B.

"You have to understand that Ibuki insisted on staying on the island, even if it meant being kicked out, so that Class C wouldn't lose extra points, instead of just giving up and going back to the ship."

Ichinose Honami, the representative of Class B, said.

Ichinose has a strong sense of justice, protests against Ryuuen's actions.

"So, Ichinose, are you saying you can persuade Ibuki to just forfeit?"

Ryuuen's gaze sharpened.

"I only said it was a possibility, but she didn't choose it, and you chose to give her up. That's not a reasonable arrangement."

"Ichinose said."

"Since you think it's unreasonable, why don't you Class B just accept her?"

"And here's the thing, you've already asked the teacher, and even if Ibuki stays in your camp, you probably won't lose the points for staying too long, right? Or do you want to see Ibuki get points deducted and then be scorned by all the students in Class C?"

Ryuuen said.

So that's what Ryuuen is worried about?
