She Smells So Good-Why Is She Using the Same One as Me? (Continued)

"Where does this guy get his sense of superiority from?"

"As expected of Class B students, anyone who didn't know better would think you were from Class A. Oh no, you used to be Class A, but you've fallen down to Class B now!"

Yukimura adjusted his glasses and said sarcastically.

"How dare you, a mere Class D!"

The boy, formerly in Class A but now in Class B, instantly blushed and clenched his fists in anger.

"What's there to be so proud of? It's still a defective product, isn't it?"

The boy seemed to be completely enraged, waiting for Yukimura with a mixture of embarrassment and anger.

However, his hasty and incoherent words caused the people around him to frown at the same time.

Generally speaking, Class D is terrible. After all, they can't even compare to Class D, which can deduct all their points in the first month.

However, now everyone knows that Class D isn't the worst.

At least.

Now all the students in classes A, B, and C know that their class leaders have signed an agreement requiring their classes to pay 400,000 points to Nakano Yuu of Class D every month. This is the basic requirement.

Furthermore, the debts related to the sale of supplies on the island have not yet been settled. As for Ichinose's class, the situation is even more straightforward: in addition to these debts, they also owe Nakano Yuu 15 million points.

Therefore, everyone knows that even in Class D, there are dangerous individuals.

But why Student Council from the original Class A acting so rashly now?

Is this meant to anger Nakano-kun Class D? Is it foolishness, or is this Katsuragi's way of making amends?

"Everyone, please don't start arguing."

Ichinose quickly reassured her, "We're all in the same group for this exam. Even though it's temporary, we still need to cooperate, right?"

"Hehe."

Yukimura Teruhiko glanced at the former Class A members and sneered twice, but still gave Ichinose face and refrained from further mockery.

"Machida."

Ichinose turned to look at the boy from Class A who had started the conversation, "If you from Class B don't want to, I won't force you. But the school might have planted listening devices somewhere in the room when they assigned us to this group. They might even do something inappropriate that could have negative consequences for the class."

If it's just you alone, that's fine, but please don't drag everyone else into it.

Ichinose's words were anything but polite, which made the boy named Machida from Class B look even uglier.

Because he felt as if everyone was targeting him.

Even the usually gentle Ichinose has become aggressive.

"Sakayanagi doesn't look to be having an easy time either."

Nakano Yuu shook his head slightly; he had always felt that his Class D, was the worst.

However, it now appears that there are significant conflicts within the original Class A.

There are quite a few people like Machida. Although they are obedient, it is difficult for them to maintain a certain level of excellence without specific instructions.

If it were Island Exam, then it wouldn't matter if the Sakayanagi Faction students caused trouble. But since Sakayanagi has already taken the exam, the Sakayanagi Faction students causing trouble is embarrassing Sakayanagi rather than causing trouble for Katsuragi.

Would someone as proud as Classmate Sakayanagi allow her subordinates to embarrass her at a time like this?

Of course, while thinking this, Nakano Yuu suddenly noticed that none of the three students from Class B had taken out their phones even once.

I see.

That's why it's so blatant.

"So, does anyone want to be the first to introduce themselves?"

Ichinose asked a question but didn't answer, "If not, then let's start with our Class A."

"I'm Ichinose Honami Class A. Nice to meet you."

"Hamaguchi Tetsuya from Class A, nice to meet you."

"Mori Shigetakuro from Class B, nice to meet you."

"Yamashita Saki from Class C, nice to meet you."

"Karuizawa from Class D..."

"..."

Led by Ichinose, the others also began to speak.

Although we're not exactly familiar with each other, at least we can match the names with the people.

This is also a prerequisite for guessing the identity of the VIP; otherwise, how can you guess if you don't even know their name?

Even so, the possibility that someone deliberately swapped names to mislead them cannot be ruled out.

There are many ways to attract attention, and many people use this opportunity to improve their reputation. Just look at their self-introductions.

Nature.

An exam is an exam, but it's also a meeting with students from other classes.

Therefore, it's polite and aims to highlight one's personality.

And... indifferent.

Not good at getting along with people.

Nakano Yuu managed to memorize everyone's names and faces, and also analyzed their personalities.

And soon, it was his turn.

He originally hoped that when he officially met Ichinose, she wouldn't think he was a womanizer, so he would keep his distance from girls. However, he just closed the distance with Karuizawa, which was obviously unreasonable.

But this didn't stump him.

"Nakano Yuu is currently single and has five older sisters. However, I am not without romantic experience; I once had a girl I really liked, but I accidentally lost my memories of her. So please forgive me if there is anything I have to say."

"Hmm... that's quite a creative statement."

Even the usually optimistic Ichinose was taken aback by Nakano Yuu's antics.

However, it was visibly her expression that seemed much more relaxed.

"Whee--"

Meanwhile, a girl in Class C with a single ponytail was laughing. Her self-introduction was Manabe. Nakano Yuu wasn't interested in her because she was the first student to drop out of Class C in the original story, and he had no interest in interacting with students who were about to drop out.

However, he also noticed that Ibuki Mio was staring at him.

Ibuki doesn't seem to get along well with the other members of Class C. Although there are four of them, Ibuki sits a little distance away from Manabe and the others. And when Manabe and the others whisper to each other, they don't include Ibuki.

Was it just that Ibuki kept staring at him?

Is she still after his underwear?

Of course, what Nakano Yuu was referring to was Ibuki infiltrating Ichinose Class as a spy, and then deliberately creating conflict to steal Ichinose's underwear and frame him for it in order to obtain information. And during the roll call on the beach, he directly accused Ibuki of stealing his underwear.

And now.

Let's just say it's a case of enemies being extremely hostile to each other.

They have both slandered each other.

However, Ibuki did indeed frame him, so Nakano-kun has no reason to be weak.

So, should we just confront them head-on?

"Speaking of Ibuki, after I left the island, did you stay?"

Nakano Yuu asked, as if making a question.

"..."

Ibuki.

Ah.

Ibuki then lowered her head to read her book.

She brought a book she had borrowed from the library. But she knew that if she spoke up, she might be falsely accused, so it was better to keep quiet for now. She really didn't want him to say in front of everyone that she had stolen his underwear.

And she couldn't refute it.

As a result, Karuizawa found that the difficult-to-manage Ibuki had become obedient.

In short--

Ichinose finally regained control of the conversation, saying, "Since everyone knew the rules last night, my personal opinion is that it's better for everyone to choose result one."

In other words, if everyone posts their answers regarding VIP status together between 9:30 PM and 10:00 PM on the third day, each of us will receive 100,000 points without losing any class evaluation points. What do you think of this suggestion?

Because Machida, who had just jumped out of Class B, was rendered speechless by Ichinose's Ichinose words, Ichinose Namiho has now taken the lead.

And the choice she made was quite wise.

No one will suffer any losses. Everyone receives 100,000 Private Points, while the VIP receives 250,000. Everyone will have money to spend.

But.

That, however, warrants some skepticism.

Because the option she chose would likely involve VIP, choosing this option would prevent that VIP from being identified and having points deducted.

And it was because of her words that the students in Class B immediately became wary of her.

Certainly.

Nakano-kun also noticed this.

Before Ichinose became obsessed with love in the original work, her intelligence was intact. In this VIP Exam, she even performed exceptionally well, and even guessed that the VIP for the Rabbit Group was Karuizawa Megumi.

Now.

This seemingly gentle Ichinose is using psychology.

If the VIP is in her class, then choosing option one is perfectly reasonable. But what if the VIP isn't in her class?

She made this suggestion, which is very beneficial to the VIP, so it is a good solution for that VIP, and he may be delighted.

Ichinose's serious demeanor now suggests she's trying to observe this.

So what seemed like a friendly suggestion actually had a trap. Perhaps she finally realized that although she had climbed up to Class A, both Result 3 and Result 4 of this exam only had the option of deducting points.

Therefore, it seems that both Class B Class C are targeting them this time.

Ichinose is under a lot of pressure too.

"I agree. After all, the chance to get 100,000 points for free is not often."

Nakano Yuu immediately asked, "Yukimura, what about you?"

"Me? I agree too."

This time, Nakano Yuu and Horikita's plan kept all the students in Class D from knowing who the VIP were, and their goal was to achieve result one.

Now that someone is taking the lead in pursuing outcome one, they naturally agree.

I also think peaceful coexistence is the best approach.

The slightly chubby classmate from Sotomura said the same thing. Or rather, this plan was too good for him, because if everyone sat down together and went with the first option, each person would receive 100,000, VIP would receive 250,000, which would completely solve his financial crisis.

He had previously pawned his computer, but this time, with the 70,000 points he received after finishing his Island Exam, he could redeem it.

Then add another 100,000, and we'll have enough for living expenses!

"Hello--"

However, some students in Class B were still dissatisfied.

Machida has shut up, but the other two haven't.

"Wasn't that question rather cunning? Was it an attempt to identify who received VIP?"

This student directly pointed out the possible meaning Ichinose's question.

"But this question isn't mandatory, so let's remain silent."

"Huh? Is that a tricky question?"

The person asking the question, Ichinose Namiho, looked troubled. "Isn't this a peaceful choice that leads everyone towards common prosperity?"
