"Please be patient, the exam results are still being announced."

Ms. Mashima noticed the unusual behavior of the students in Class A, but she asked them to calm down first.

Upon counting, he found that all 39 students in Class A were present, except for Sakayanagi, who was absent. So he sighed softly.

"Ryuuen!"

Katsuragi wasn't stupid; he cursed directly.

Because there are only 39 students standing in the area for Class 1-C, but the man with the conspicuous red center-parted hair is not there.

He knew why the other party wasn't present.

Ryuuen came to see him last night.

He said he had considered Nakano Yuu's proposal, which involved changing the team leader. So even if he obtained information about the Class B leader, it wouldn't have mattered.

Yes.

On the day Nakano Yuu forfeited, he didn't recall Ibuki, but instead arranged for Ibuki to stay in Class B. Then, Ibuki did find an opportunity to learn about the leader of Class B.

However, we couldn't take a picture, so all we know is his name: Shibata Sou. He's the athletic superstar of Class B, and he's already joined the soccer club as a regular player.

Since Class B needs to clear so many bases three times a day, they definitely need students with good physical strength, so Shibata is a perfect fit.

However, knowing this information verbally is not enough to guarantee anything, and even if the leader of Class B is confirmed, it is still uncertain whether Class B will resort to any unforeseen measures, such as temporarily changing the leader.

Therefore...

The idea that if a team leader is bitten by a snake, the team leader can be replaced, as announced by Nakano Yuu, has become deeply ingrained in people's minds.

"Then I'll withdraw tonight."

Ryuuen said.

"I spoke with Ibuki, and I think Nakano Yuu not only saw through Ibuki's identity as a spy I planted in Class B, but even suspects that I'm the leader of Class C. And I think the students in Class B probably already know that too."

"So, are you the leader of Class C? Ryuuen?"

Katsuragi Road.

"Hehe. You guessed I'm useless too, I'll just choose to abstain in a bit."

Ryuuen said.

"As a price for my withdrawal, Katsuragi, you can arrange for someone to keep an eye on Shibata. If Shibata withdraws before the exam ends, then you shouldn't write Shibata's name on the exam papers."

However, if Shibata is still on the island before the exam ends, then you should fill in Shibata's name.

Why would I do such a thing?

Katsuragi did not accept it.

"Then just wait for Class B to steal your place from Class A!"

Ryuuen said.

"And I will also instruct my students to write Shibata's name on the paper."

"Now that things have come to this, the only option is to join forces with Class B to suppress them."

As Ryuuen said this, he took out a piece of linen that he always carried with him.

Upon opening the bag, the thing that was buzzing and spinning was revealed.

It was a snake!

Katsuragi quickly took two steps back, but Ryuuen swiftly and accurately grabbed the snake with one hand and bit it into his own leg.

This means they've truly chosen to leave the scene.

He's so ruthless to himself; he's a tough guy.

Ryuuen's actions also revealed that he was the leader of Class C, and that he felt the information had been leaked, so he had no choice but to leave in order to protect the base points and minimize the points deducted.

Result.

Damn Ryuuen!

You told him to keep an eye on Class B and Shibata, but Ryuuen's target is Class A?

Katsuragi was able to deduce the composition of this 245 points.

His original prediction that Class A could get 363 points was as follows: 68 points (outpost points + hidden outpost points) + 245 points (base points) + 50 points (correctly guessing the leader of Class D).

But now it's 245 points. What happened?

It has appeared.

0 points (outpost points + hidden outpost points) + 245 points (remaining base points) + 50 points (guessed the Class D leader correctly) - 50 points (Class C guessed the Class A leader's identity correctly) = 245 points!

Therefore, the reason for this score is that the team leader of your class was guessed correctly, so you get -50 points. Also, because the team leader's identity was guessed correctly, the base points are invalid!

That's why it became 245 points!

Ryuuen!

Katsuragi never expected that he would be betrayed by Ryuuen right here!

"Then they will announce the second place."

Meanwhile, Ms. Mashima fulfilled her duty and continued announcing the exam results, "Class 1-C, 408 points."

"400 points, not bad."

"This will increase our living expenses."

In the Matoba Class C Class C, the students were quite calm. They knew that Ryuuen had forfeited, which would mean a -30 point deduction, but looking at it now, the result wasn't bad.

"Really!"

Meanwhile, in Class A's camp...

"How is that possible!"

"Why did this happen!"

"It shouldn't have been like this!"

The Class A's ranks instantly erupted in noise, no less than those of the Class C.

But.

"Calm down first."

Katsuragi said with a stern face, "We still have the pride of being students in Class A. Don't act like students from a lower-ranked class."

"It won't be like that for a while!"

However, a sharp voice rang out among the students in Class A.

These are students of the Sakayanagi Faction. Therefore, it is perfectly normal for them to choose to attack Katsuragi of the Katsuragi Faction.

But.

This was just a previous infighting between different factions, but now, they really want to attack.

Because, even though Sakayanagi didn't come, he still handed over command to you, Katsuragi, didn't he? And everyone was made to pay money, and everyone was told to follow your instructions to pass the exam, so they all did. But now, what's the result?

You have to understand, they're not even as good as the students in Class C now!

Now Class C is scoring higher than Class A!

"Therefore, the winner is announced!"

The examiner, Mr. Mashima, continued to announce.

At this point, only one class had not been called on.

The students in this class were all in their best condition to welcome the occasion.

"First place, Class 1-B, 616 points!"

"Whoosh!"

Instantly, the entire audience erupted in uproar.

It's conceivable that Class B's score won't be low, but does it really need to be this high?

600 points!

He actually got 600 points on a single exam!

Ichinose wore a satisfied smile, as did everyone else.

"We are number one!"

"Six hundred points! Six hundred points! Now we're safe!"

"Shibata, thank you for your hard work!"

The students in Class B were quickly swept up in excitement and cheered, while some students who knew the truth were grateful for Shibata's efforts.

Because of his abstention, the class retained the base points and thus obtained this score.

So.

Next.

Congratulations on achieving such scores on this kind of exam!

"That's what Mr. Mashima said."

"Then, barring any unforeseen circumstances, you will be the new Class A when you return to school."

"The school ranks classes based on only one criterion: the evaluation score of each class."

"Once you rank first in the evaluation, you'll be in Class A."

"That's what Mr. Mashima said."

In other words, let's look at the facts: once again, a case of underdogs defying their superiors and Class B successfully advancing to the next level has occurred in this school.

"So that's how it is."

"Hateful."

Katsuragi, however, stared wide-eyed like a gambler who had lost everything, demanding a detailed breakdown of the scores and deductions!

"Unfortunately, that's not possible."

However, Mr. Mashima said...

"In many assessments, the examiners will not disclose all the detailed content of the exam; you will need to think about and grasp it yourself."

Professor Mashima refused Katsuragi's request.

"Ma, if you really want to know, that's fine too."

However, at this moment, the teacher of Class B stepped forward.

Obviously.

This was also a first for Hoshinomiya-sensei; it wasn't her first time leading Class B students, but rather she had already led two classes before.

However, her students in the past were not so motivated, so this was her first time becoming the homeroom teacher of Class A.

I feel honored to be a part of it.

"What ever."

Upon seeing Hoshinomiya step forward, Mashima- sensei yielded, relinquishing control to her.

Since the exam results were announced, the Class A he led could no longer be considered the original Class A. Therefore, after returning to school, he became the teacher of the Class B.

Whether or not to release the detailed exam scores is beyond his control.

In this way.

Not only Katsuragi, but even the camera was focused on the detailed breakdown of the scores in the examiner's hand.

Class A's 245 points = 0 points (outpost points + hidden outpost points) + 245 points (base points including points deducted for Sakayanagi's forfeit and violations) + 50 points (correctly guessed Class D's leader) - 50 points (Class C correctly guessed the leader)

Class B's 616 points = 376 points (base points + hidden base points) + 220 points - 30 points (basic points consumed daily, including Shibata's forfeit) + 50 points (guessed the Class D leader correctly)

Class C's 408 points = 88 points (outpost points + 3 hidden outpost captures) + 250 points - 30 points (base points including Ryuuen's forfeit and camera purchase) + 50 points (correctly guessing Class D's leader) + 50 points (correctly guessing Class A's leader)

Class D's score of 0 = (Outpost points + Hidden Outpost points) + 0 points (Remaining base points) - 150 points (Leader correctly guessed by Classes A, B, and C)
