Chabashira: So You Called Me Here to Take the Fall!!?

87

Chapter 87 Chabashira: So you invited me here to make me take the blame?!?

Because an exam was to be conducted, and the exam rules were clearly stated, the students' initiative and activity were greatly enhanced after being grouped.

So if you want to do anything, you have to get it done before 8 a. m. tomorrow.

Because tomorrow at 8 a. m., students will receive an email from the school informing them whether they have been selected as VIP.

Those VIP receive a guaranteed minimum of 250,000 points, but if their identity is discovered, these points will be reset to zero. It seems one must protect their identity and remain hidden so they can secretly collect the money later.

Nature.

There's also the option to sell your VIP status to someone else, which will earn you even more points.

However, the losses are also significant. First, it will result in a debt of 500,000 yuan, and second, it will deduct 50 points from the class's evaluation score.

A score of 50 means that the class can receive a total of 200,000 yuan in living expenses from the school each month, which adds up to more than 6 million yuan over three years.

Therefore, a single act of betrayal could result in a loss of nearly 7 million for the class.

That's truly terrifying.

It seems completely unbearable.

But just like the answer Yukimura received after asking.

[The school will only publish the results for each group, as well as the increase or decrease in class evaluation scores. This includes the Private Points earned by the respondents. The school may also provide temporary IDs and installment payment options. The identities of those VIP will not be disclosed.]

So it's still possible to be a traitor who won't be caught.

Therefore.

Once you understand the exam rules, all you have to do is wait to confirm whether you qualify for VIP treatment.

The reason I say this is because the class group chat has already started to get lively.

Because Horikita and her classmates were in the last group to take the exam, the other students thought it was an exam, but it turned out to be just a notice. So they started talking freely about the exam in the class group chat.

After all, this exam mainly involved points and evaluation scores, but there was no penalty of expulsion.

So the atmosphere was very relaxed.

I was also very excited.

Sato Maya: I hope to be one of the VIP; I would say the chances are quite high, like winning the lottery.

Matsushita Chiaki: The odds of winning the lottery are probably not that high.

Yukimura Teruhiko: Regarding this exam, I think it might be an opportunity for our Class D. Although our Class D' s evaluation score was very low, other classes might also lower their scores in this exam.

In other words, it doesn't matter if I'm not strong enough, as long as my teammates are bad enough.

Sudo: So, does that mean our class has a chance to rise to the top? Ryuuen and the others really shone in the Island Exam. I don't want to fall too far behind them!

Yukimura Teruhiko: We also gained something from the Island Exam, so at least we don't have to worry about living expenses for a year.

Yukimura Teruhiko: So everyone is welcome to share their thoughts on this exam.

Karuizawa Megumi: No? You think our class still has a chance to move up?

Yukimura Teruhiko: Definitely, after all, there are still three years left.

Kanji Ike: Rather than focusing on the current score, I think it would be better to ask Nakano if there's a way to get a living allowance like Island Exam. Because, as you can see, we only received 308,000 yen each, but we have to live at school for three years!

Yamauchi: Hmm, I agree with Ike's point of view. We should save our living expenses first.

Yamauchi: So let's just do it this way for the exam. Anyway, we only have 50 points left in our evaluation, so it doesn't matter if we reset them to zero.

Shinohara Satsuki: Why should I listen to Yamauchi?

Hasebe Haruka: Yes, I disagree with Yamauchi's statement.

Hasebe Haruka (after speaking, she was about to put down her phone when she suddenly remembered that Island Exam were over and Yamauchi wanted to confess to Sakura. As a friend, she naturally had to help, so she continued to speak): Or rather, Yamauchi, shut up.

Yamauchi (probably not expecting to be targeted): Ah, but, but I'm also a member of Class D, and my suggestion represents the voice of Class D.

Hirata Yousuke: Everyone, please calm down.

Obviously.

There's no need for deliberate misleading or communication; Class D will naturally break down the situation on their own.

Now, Nakano has collected 600,000 points from Ryuuen, Katsuragi, and Ichinose.

200,000 yen has already been paid to Kushida.

He wasn't particularly interested in taking exams that led to low incomes.

But.

Considering that there were expenses involved in this exam, Nakano still had the idea of getting some points to make up for it.

Otherwise, it would become a situation where only Kushida is making money.

That won't work.

Because brothers can endure hardship, but brothers absolutely cannot drive a Land Rover!

"So, what does Kushida think?"

"Nakano Yuu said."

While he was checking the class group chat, Nakano Yuu spoke up first. They had already arrived in Horikita, and Kushida and Sakura were in their cabins on the ship.

Sakura went to take a shower, so only Nakano Yuu, Horikita, and Kushida were together at the moment.

Just like school dormitories, although all the rooms are the same style, the experience varies depending on the students. For example, the girls' rooms always seem to smell a bit nicer.

The thought that this is the home of three girls who are as beautiful as the class beauties or the school beauties naturally makes one's heart race.

Nakano Yuu realizes that he is indeed a normal, ordinary high school student.

Do I... think so?

Because she accompanied Nakano Yuu, Kushida didn't look at the class group chat out of politeness, but she never expected to be asked a question.

"Am I not responsible for cooperating with your arrangements for the exam?"

Obviously.

The person who made the judgments earlier was not Kushida Kikyou.

In other words, she just needs to wait to get the money.

They're hopeless.

"So you really have to say it?"

"Nakano Yuu said."

"You understand the core of this exam, right?"

"..."

Kushida.

Kushida immediately realized that Nakano Yuu's words weren't directed at her.

So she quickly inquired about Amasawa, the genius junior student inside her body.

[It's not a very good feeling.]

However, this is how Amasawa, the junior student, replied.

"What's the meaning?"

Kushida was puzzled.

[It seems like Nakano-senpai wants me to speak, but does that mean he might be interested in me? I've been back for two years, and back then I wasn't this close to Nakano-senpai. I'm a little worried about what will happen when I enroll next year at this time.]

Oh.

So what would your normal relationship be like two years from now?

Kushida was somewhat interested.

[But let's answer Nakano-senpai's question first.]

However, Amasawa quickly changed the subject. Kushida, who was good at sensing the atmosphere, immediately felt that if Amasawa hadn't traveled back in time, then Amasawa Ichika's normal enrollment and subsequent encounter with Nakano Yuu might not have been a pleasant and friendly Matoba, but rather a hostile one.

Meanwhile, Amasawa, the junior student, had already begun her analysis.

The school divided the students into 12 groups, and each group selected one VIP. The other students then confirmed the VIP's identity through various methods.

[It's like playing Werewolf.]

"And then what?"

Kushida asked quickly.

The core of this exam was to try to uncover the VIP status of other classes while simultaneously finding ways to conceal the VIP status of one's own class. Of course, this was done on a class-by-class basis.

[However, your Class D has special circumstances.]

Is it special?

Is it special?

Yes, it's very special.

This class is hopeless. Kushida, as a student in this class, knows this very well. While she can think about things from the class's perspective, she can't implement them effectively because the students in this class won't listen to her.

So if she had just seen the class group chat, she would have agreed with what Karuizawa said earlier. How could she think there was any hope for Class D?

I simply can't get up.

"Is the allocation of VIP equal? That is, three VIP per class? If so, is there any pattern in the selection of VIP, or is it simply a random selection?"

Kushida did indeed repeat what the genius junior had said.

Are you satisfied with this answer?

She looked at Nakano Yuu.

Are you satisfied?

If Kushida answers, then it's unsatisfactory, because Kushida wouldn't have thought of that. But if it's the genius junior's answer, then it's certain that this junior is indeed quite capable.

Because she had figured out that this exam followed a pattern.

Nakano Yuu had read the original work, but because of his involvement, the results of this year's VIP Exam were somewhat different from those in the original story.

But.

He also believed that the only regularity in the arrangements for those VIP would not change.

Since the school wants to reclaim the excess evaluation points, it instructs classes with points to compete against each other, causing each other to lose points.

However, by scattering the students into 12 groups, you have directly deviated from the original intention of class competition.

It is far too demanding to expect students who are scattered and broken into groups to discover the VIP within their groups, or to protect their VIP status from being discovered by other students.

So.

There must be a way to integrate this chaotic situation.

Therefore.

Thus, a pattern emerges.

There are patterns to the VIP, and once these patterns are understood, one can attack everyone. Furthermore, the list of all VIP obtained through these patterns can also be used to attack other classes; for example, selling the VIP list of Class A to Class B, and then selling the list of Class B to Class C, and so on.

That's why Nakano came to Kushida's room.

So.

"That's basically it. I agree with the statement that there's a pattern to VIP."

"However, Kushida, from now on, your phone belongs to me."

"Nakano Yuu said."

"Why?"

Kushida looked at him with resistance.
