Holy crap, I'm in a group with Ichinose! Then, Karuizawa, act like we're strangers!
"And now it's day 11, with 3 days left before we go back. If we're going to take the exam, then time is running out."
"So the details of the second exam should be announced tonight."
"Nakano Yuu said."
"This is just my speculation. The school will probably announce it soon."
And it was almost at the moment Nakano said that.
"Didi--"
An announcement from the school played on the ship.
[This is to inform all students that the school has just sent out an email with contact information for all students. Please check your mobile phone and follow the instructions. Also, if you have not received the email, please contact the relevant faculty or staff member. As the information is very important, please do not miss any confirmations. To reiterate—]
Upon hearing this, Horikita quickly took out his phone and indeed received a message from the school.
Then her gaze fell on Nakano Yuu.
"The second exam is about to begin."
Yes.
Exams, exams, more exams.
As students at this school, we never lack Special Exam!
P. S.: 12,000 words today, 8,000 words to pay off a debt from the old book "Oregairu's Classroom of the Elite and Supremacy", I still owe 173,000 words.
P. S.: Taking advantage of the event's monthly pass waiver being lifted, I'm opening a Supreme Bounty. This will help me save up for the massive update next month.

Chapter 85 Holy crap, I'm in a group with Ichinose! Karuizawa, you better keep your distance from me!
An announcement came over the ship's loudspeaker, and the voice of Hoshinomiya Chie new homeroom teacher of Class A, came through.
Yesterday's results were announced by Mr. Mashima, the original homeroom teacher of Class A. However, now that the Uninhabited Island Exam are over, a new Class A will be created.
Therefore, the examiner has now become Hoshinomiya-sensei.
Very realistic.
Her voice is different from Mashima's; it's more pleasant to listen to.
"To all students, please note that the school has just sent out an email with contact information. Please check your mobile phone and follow the instructions. To reiterate—"
"Snort."
Nakano Yuu shook his head slightly, as expected.
The second exam has begun.
[Special Exam is about to begin. Students, please assemble in your designated rooms at the designated time.]
Those who are more than ten minutes late will be penalized. Please assemble in Room 204 on the second floor before 6 PM tonight. The meeting time is approximately twenty minutes. Please use the restroom and put your phone on vibrate or turn it off before coming to the assembly point.
Nakano Yuu took out his phone from his pocket, looked at the email sent by the school, and seemed to be deep in thought.
He was thinking about room 204, which seemed to be the room the male protagonist in the original novel was assigned to.
In other words, he had indeed taken over the other person's role.
But.
He was also different from the other party. For example, he would not help Class D. At the same time, he had no weaknesses, could not be manipulated, and did not even have a father who did not value family ties.
His father, Nakano Maruo, intended for him to be the wallet for his five stepsisters, but he also said that it was okay if they didn't accept; he would find another way.
However, I heard Horikita's voice coming from beside me.
She was also looking at the messages she had received on her phone.
"Since a time and place, as well as the required time, were specified, it means that the time and place are not the same. In other words, this exam will be conducted separately for everyone."
"If that's the case, then it can't be a written test or anything like that."
For a regular exam, there's no need for all this trouble; just gather everyone together.
But since they are separate...
Then there's only one possibility.
Besides other classes, they probably also need to be wary of their own classmates.
So, what exactly is it?
Horikita seemed to be muttering to himself.
But if you really want to mutter something, then don't say it out loud, Horikita, and don't stare straight at him like that.
Therefore...
Horikita has gone bad; he's learned how to get information from him now.
However, it seems that Horikita isn't the only one with this idea.
Because.
"Ring ring!"
Nakano Yuu's phone suddenly rang; someone was calling.
"Nakano Yuu."
Ryuuen's voice came through the microphone, "You've already received the email from the school, haven't you?"
What time were you told to meet?
Nakano Yuu.
"It's six o'clock."
"My time is 8:40."
Ryuuen said.
What are you trying to say?
Nakano Yuu.
"What intelligence do you know?"
Ryuuen spoke quickly; clearly, he was there to buy information.
"No intelligence at present."
Nakano-kun honestly replied.
Are you sure there isn't any?
Ryuuen Road.
"I can give you 200,000! I'll give it to you right now."
"..."
Nakano Yuu.
"What kind of person do you take me for?"
"The only thing that's certain is that the school seems to want to separate the students; I suspect they might be regrouping them. However, we'll have to wait until the first group of students takes the exam tonight to decide on the specifics."
"Nakano Yuu said."
"The rule of dividing students into different time slots is somewhat justified, which restricts the use of mobile phones. In that case, I suggest borrowing a camera. It should still be useful."
"That's enough."
However, Ryuuen quickly said...
"..."
The call then ended.
Meanwhile, 200,000 points were deposited into Nakano's personal account.
But as soon as one call ended, another rang.
"Is that Katsuragi- kun?"
"Nakano Yuu said."
"If you want to purchase the information in advance, that's possible, but Ryuuen just paid me 200,000 points."
"Our class can too."
Katsuragi said.
"Give me the information you gave to Ryuuen."
"OK."
Nakano Yuu then informed the other party that the school's exam might group students into four classes, and that although cell phones were not allowed, cameras could be used by exploiting a bug during the initial rule explanation.
In other words, since the students are grouped, they may not be able to fully grasp the specifics of the exam rules, but having a camera can solve that problem.
After Katsuragi's call ended, Nakano-kun's personal account gained another 200,000 points.
But.
Just as Nakano Yuu was about to talk to Horikita, another phone call came in.
It's Ichinose Honami from Class B.
Then.
After three phone calls, all conveying the same message, 200,000 points were sold each time.
"What's wrong?"
After the three phone calls ended, Nakano Yuu looked at Horikita Suzune.
"..."
Horikita.
Horikita's lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but then found herself unable to speak.
Because.
This guy really knows how to make money.
But.
"The fact that these three classes are so proactive shows that they've realized that since there's an exam, they either gain points or lose points, so they need to gain an advantage and hold onto their points in this exam."
"Nakano Yuu said."
"Ichinose were in Class A when they returned to school, but now a new exam has suddenly appeared. This could potentially disrupt the current situation."
"The former Class A, who have been suppressed, might be able to seize the opportunity to return to Class A, while Ichinose and the Ichinose are worried about not being able to hold onto their positions. As for Class C, Ryuuen definitely wants to seize the opportunity to climb up."
"Nakano Yuu said."
So that's why, right after the exams were announced, the class leaders of these three classes took the initiative to call Nakano.
"So now we..."
Horikita seemed somewhat hesitant about selling Nakano Yuu's information for 600,000 points.
Based on her experience, it seemed she could earn more.
In other words, although Horikita has now scored 6 million points in the Island Exam, directly completing one-third of the 20 million points required to transfer to another class, his desire to make money has not diminished; on the contrary, it has become even stronger.
"Since the students are being divided into groups to take the exam, I don't think it will end tonight. So tonight will at most be just a notification of the exam rules."
"So this is 600,000 points earned for free."
"Nakano Yuu said."
"So, what time were you notified to meet?"
8:40
Horikita said honestly.
