The Exam Is Over! (Continued)

If you're so worried, why are you still throwing Ibuki, who could potentially lose points, around everywhere?

As expected, Ryuuen's focus was solely on the score. He was an extremely ruthless person.

"The teacher said that as long as it's with our class's permission, Ibuki's overnight stay won't cause Class C to lose points."

Kanzaki Ryuji, the vice-class representative of Class B, took over the conversation.

"Heh, you guys are really foolish. If it were me, I wouldn't take in students from other classes. Of course, you've already done it before, so I'm afraid the information about the Class B leader has been leaked."

Ryuuen clearly intends to further inflame the atmosphere, and even drag Class D into it.

But at times like this...

"Actually, if the students in Class A also want to take care of someone, then they can also take in Ibuki from Class C."

At that moment, a student suddenly spoke up.

"Because this is beneficial to Class A."

"..."

Katsuragi.

"..."

Totsuka.

"Why, why should students from Class A be taken in?"

Katsuragi's younger brother, who wasn't very good at controlling his emotions, immediately spoke up.

Katsuragi knew something was wrong with his impatient nature.

He wanted to hide the fact that Ibuki was the person he and Ryuuen had arranged to spy on the leader of Class B, but Totsuka was too impatient and easily seen through.

Therefore, Katsuragi believed that what Nakano Yuu had just done was a test. If Katsuragi and the others did not know that Ibuki was a spy, they certainly would not have reacted so strongly. However, if they knew that Ibuki was a spy, they would definitely have resisted Ibuki's arrival.

So, this was discovered through testing.

Katsuragi sighed inwardly.

"Because I don't really trust Ibuki."

Nakano Yuu said.

"She just arrived at Class B's camp last night, but my underwear is gone."

"I clearly remember where I put my change of underwear, but it's gone."

"Nakano Yuu said."

"This is something I've never encountered before in Class B. So I strongly suspect that Ibuki did this. That's why I refuse to continue being with Ibuki."

"..."

Ryuuen.

Upon hearing this, Ryuen almost looked at Ibuki with a strange expression.

Because he sent her to Class B to verify the identity of Class B's leader, but instead she went and stole Nakano Yuu's underwear?

Ibuki's face flushed instantly, clearly a mixture of shame and anger.

"So, Ibuki, can you swear you didn't steal the underwear? If you really did, I won't treat you too badly. After all, you could have just asked me for underwear."

Nakano-kun said.

"%..."

Ibuki.??

Ahh.

Then, Horikita saw that yet another girl was almost driven crazy by Nakano.

But.

She didn't think Nakano Yuu would suddenly do such a thing to a girl who had been hit.

In other words, something might have happened this morning. For example, the underwear might have gone missing, but it's unlikely that Nakano Yuu lost it, since probably no one would steal a boy's underwear.

That would be like being an incurable pervert.

However, since he brought this up, there must be some connection. So, after Ibuki infiltrated Class B, he had already begun espionage activities, which might even be related to underwear. If he wasn't stealing boys' underwear, then he must have been stealing girls' underwear?

She vaguely heard someone say that underwear was missing in the morning.

So, did Ibuki do this? Then why would Ibuki steal a girl's underwear? She's a girl herself, she has underwear too... Or did she actually steal another girl's underwear, and then Nakano Yuu found out...? No, based on Horikita's understanding of Nakano Yuu, would he be so willing to say something like this in public...? So, the only explanation is that Ibuki stole another girl's underwear and then framed him.

So he held a grudge.

Horikita quickly began analyzing the situation.

[Nakano-senpai's underwear shouldn't have been stolen.]

"..."

Kushida.

"I know, and I wouldn't take his underwear. That would make me a pervert, and Ibuki is a girl, she wouldn't do something like that."

[So, it seems that Ibuki- senpai did something that angered Nakano-senpai.]

"..."

Kushida.

"That's certainly possible. That guy is definitely unusually vengeful."

In a very short time, the clever students had already grasped the meaning.

Ryuuen also realized what was happening.

So, does that mean Ibuki was discovered to be a spy as soon as he infiltrated Class B?

Ryuuen soon heard Nakano Yuu continue speaking.

"But it's advantageous for you, Katsuragi, to take in Ibuki, because you're not as easy to talk to as Class B. So as long as Ibuki stays in your camp, Class C will lose points."

"Or perhaps we could give Ibuki some food, and if Ibuki accidentally eats something like croton oil, she'll have to leave because she's feeling unwell."

Therefore, Class C had to lose points as a result.

"Nakano Yuu said."

"Class B can't do this, but you Class A— "

"This--"

Katsuragi didn't reply immediately, but looked at Ryuuen with a slightly strange gaze.

"..."

Ryuuen.

Ryuuen knew perfectly well that Ibuki's spy status had been exposed; as expected, nothing good ever came from associating with Nakano Yuu.

And.

Based on the Nakano Yuu just gave to Class A, then they can definitely trick Class C.

So this is because he failed to attack Class B, and also lost 30 points (Ibuki was forced to forfeit). In addition, in order to contact Ibuki and confirm the information of the team leader card, he also paid 20 basic points to exchange for a walkie-talkie and camera for communication.

That means we'd lose 50 points!

"Everyone, please calm down."

At this moment, the student who had stirred up the conflict spoke up again.

"Regarding the team leader, I actually got some information from the teachers yesterday."

"Nakano Yuu said."

"What?"

Ryuuen's face darkened.

Katsuragi looked over with a heavy gaze and then said.

"Our Class A would never do what you just described. I demonstrated my integrity, and all of Class A's points were earned cleanly!"

Oh.

That certainly shows great character.

"Then Katsuragi, you really are a good person."

"Nakano Yuu said."

"I thought you and Ryuuen were not only working together to purchase information, but Ryuuen were also eyeing the stronghold points occupied by Class B. After all, if you do nothing, your Class A will fall behind after the exam."

"And isn't this the situation you didn't want to see?"

"Nakano Yuu said."

Therefore, Class A is rife with suspicion, so naturally they cannot act as openly and honestly as Katsuragi suggested.

"..."

Katsuragi.

Katsuragi was speechless.

However, he still noticed that when Nakano Yuu suggested using Ibuki trick Class C, some students in the class were somewhat hesitant.

So all he could do was sigh.

"Tell me, what intelligence did you obtain?"

"Um."

Nakano then got back to the main topic.

"It's about the change of team leader."

"Change of team leader?"

Ryuuen immediately said that he was starting to have a bad feeling.

Why can the team leader be changed?

The manual rules state that [the team leader should not be changed without a valid reason]. Therefore, once a team leader is selected, they cannot be changed. So, we must be careful and protect the team leader's information from being leaked.

"Actually, yesterday, Horikita Kushida, and I discovered the hidden hideout."

"Nakano Yuu said."

"I came to ask the teachers about how many points I could get for finding hidden strongholds, and then I suddenly thought of something: what happens if the team leader has an accident and has to Matoba?"

"The teacher's response at the time was that if the team leader encountered any physical threats, such as being bitten by a snake and not being able to catch the snake or determine whether it was venomous or not, then the school would definitely accept the team leader's decision to abstain and return to the ship for treatment."

"Since the team leader was forced to withdraw, a new team leader will need to be selected."

"In other words, it is possible to change the team leader in this way."

"Nakano Yuu said."

No?

If there was an ominous feeling about Ryuuen and Katsuragi from the beginning...

So now we can confirm that Nakano Yuu from Class 1-D is toxic.

Nakano Yuu's example is terrifying: the leader of Class D. If he had guessed correctly, he could have ensured that every class would have gained 50 points.

In order to obtain this score, Ryuuen paid 2 million points specifically to confirm the identity of the team leader of Class D.

But now it's said that even a stable team leader position can change.

Even if a spy were sent to Class B's camp to obtain information about Class B's leader, it would still be impossible to confirm whether that leader would be replaced.

So if they fill in the wrong team leader information, not only will they not get any extra points or be able to clear Class B's base points to zero, but they will also have 50 points deducted from their own score.

Furthermore, the information regarding the team leader for Class D has also changed. Does that mean that guessing two classes incorrectly would result in a deduction of 50 x 2, or 100 points?

If they're going to lose so much, then there's no point in them buying Class D supplies to live on.

This is probably the worst exam I've taken since starting school.
