Ryuuen's Taunt! Ryuuen: This Time, I'm the Winner!

The VIP reveal their identities, then answer questions together at the correct time, and everyone receives a reward.

This is something that probably only the students in Ichinose Class could do. Because everyone knows that the students in their class are all little angels with extremely high moral standards.

So wasn't what she just did a test, or was it purely out of kindness?

"Threats or intimidation are not allowed. The only way to resolve this exam is through discussion and conversation. And you, Class B, have refused... So, can we treat you as suspects? Can you accept that?"

Ichinose Namiho has been active.

Are you threatening us?

The students in Class B seem somewhat impulsive, but some, like Machida, back down after a little provocation.

However, it cannot be denied that their current stern faces make it impossible to tell whether those VIP are actually among them.

Because.

Even if they aren't physically present, if they make people feel like they're among them, they might rush to answer incorrectly.

This would cause the class that answered first to lose points because they answered incorrectly, while causing other classes to lose points, which might allow their class to return to Class A.

So.

In other words, you can't trust anyone in Class B right now. They're all actors. They'd love for people to guess wrong.

He's a liar, he's a scumbag!

Even from head to toe, the same rhetoric is used.

Conflicts arose as soon as the discussion began.

They disregarded the good behavior expected of students in the original Class A during their first month of school.

This was clearly a deliberate act.

The evidence is that they never took out their phones from the moment they entered the room.

Nakano watched them act with his arms crossed.

At the same time, it became clear that Classmate Sakayanagi must have taken over the authority to administer the exam.

Because if it were just Katsuragi, he would probably only be able to reliably tell everyone to shut up, rather than rushing in and attacking people indiscriminately like this.

"Hey hey--"

Ichinose seemed a little nervous.

"So, what should we do now?"

There's really no way around it. The behavior of the students in Class B has been entirely misleading and manipulative.

"It seems they've gotten themselves into a predicament."

Nakano Yuu finally spoke; it was as if the room had been completely silent just moments before, filled with a cacophony of intrigue and backstabbing.

So what can we do now?

As for Class C and Class D...

The students in Class D were daydreaming, Ibuki from Class C was reading a book, and the other three gyaru were playing on their phones.

Well, these two groups are playing on their phones; they have no idea that Class A and Class B have already fought each other.

If that's the case...

"By the way, doesn't anyone in Class D use their phones?"

Suddenly, Ibuki from Class C spoke up.

"Oh, this?"

She seemed to be speaking to Karuizawa. Karuizawa glanced at Nakano Yuu and then replied.

"Our cell phones have all been confiscated."

"To be precise, it was confiscated before 8 o'clock."

It was just a simple statement, but it caused a great deal of harm.

Because the students in Class A and Class B changed color at the same time.

If the phone is confiscated before 8 AM, doesn't that mean the information confirming eligibility for VIP hasn't been sent yet?

The students in Class B gasped.

Their outstanding acting had just troubled Ichinose, who felt she had done a good job. But now...

Isn't that the case with you? Even your classmates don't know if you're VIP, so how can you leave any clues or let anyone discover it?

Isn't this even more ruthless than what Class B did?!

Karuizawa's gaze returned to Nakano Yuu.

Obviously.

Was this instructed by Nakano-kun?

While the other students in Class D might assume that this was Chabashira-sensei's doing, Karuizawa knew it was his arrangement.

And.

"Yes, our Class D's cell phones were confiscated from the very beginning."

Therefore, none of the students knew about their VIP status.

Nakano-kun grasped the situation at this point in the routine.

"However, I must inform you that there are only three students in our Class D VIP. And the entire class of students in Class D is determined to achieve the best result. Therefore, we will only get our phones back during the final exam assembly on the last day."

This is truly surprising news.

Thus, due to the lack of cooperation from Class B or the complete ignorance of Class D, the students in Class C became very anxious, while the students in Class C seemed not to have fully understood the exam content. So, after the two-hour "conversation," Ichinose Honami sighed.

"I don't know how we're going to conduct the exams if things continue like this."

She was troubled, but not just by her current Rabbit Group; she was worried about the other 11 groups because, by all accounts, Class D were employing the same strategy.

Then there's really no way to take the exam.

Of course, if this is the case, then everyone leaving would be beneficial for Class A, where Ichinose is.

Because it doesn't involve deducting evaluation points, you can even get millions of Private Points for free to pay off your debts.

But.

She knew very well that things wouldn't go that smoothly.

In this way.

"Nakano-kun, what's wrong with you...?"

As she sighed, she noticed that Nakano Yuu was walking upstairs; if he were going to the deck or back to his dorm, he should be going downstairs.

She quickly caught up with him.

"I'm going to pick up Horikita."

Nakano Yuu.

"Her discussion is probably over."

"Ah, you and Horikita are really close."

Ichinose Honami's cheeks flushed slightly as she spoke.

But this is probably a misunderstanding.

They misunderstood that he was dating Horikita or something like that.

If you misunderstand, aren't you angry? This made Nakano Yuu a little insecure; he suspected that in the year he had lost his memories, he and Ichinose were the real couple.

Possessiveness between couples can be very strong.

But.

Just like when he lived on a small island, he brought a bunch of girls to her class.

She's angry, she's angry, but why isn't she angry?

"No contact."

"Nakano Yuu said."

"As I mentioned in my self-introduction, I've lost the memory of a girl I really liked, and I won't date other girls until I remember her."

"Oh."

Ichinose, it was unclear whether she understood or not. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she lowered her head. Even if she looked down very carefully, she still couldn't see her toes.

So, Nakano Yuu went with her to the Dragon Group's gathering.

Since she caught up with him, it means she probably figured out that although he announced in the group that the Class D students' phones had been confiscated and that none of the Class D students knew about the VIP treatment information, he actually knew about the VIP information for the Class D students.

So his going to the Dragon Group now might be to use this bargaining chip to do something.

If that's the case, then she absolutely cannot miss the class that will be at the forefront of this exam.

In this way.

"Then I'll go too."

She said.

"Yesterday, my students said that Classmate Sakayanagi's name is also on the Dragon Group's roster."

"Today's performance by Class B might have been arranged by Katsuragi, but I think Classmate Sakayanagi might also have played a part in it."

"Because it's very aggressive."

"Ichinose said."

Obviously.

She clearly had some understanding of Sakayanagi and was extremely familiar with her style.

As she walked, she suddenly noticed that Nakano seemed to have stopped.

"So, is it that traveling with me is bothering you?"

She seemed to be looking hurt.

It won't bother you.

Instead, I was a little surprised.

Because Ichinose always has a pleasant fragrance, and he recognized the shampoo from that brand—it was his favorite—and because the brand was quite niche and hard to find, it turned out they were using the same one.

90

Chapter 90 Ryuuen's Provocation! Ryuuen: This time, I am the victor!

Nakano Yuu then took Ichinose with him to the Dragon Group's territory.

But.

He does have things he cares about.

That is, the Dragon Group is usually a place where class representatives and leaders from each class gather.

But neither he nor Ichinose were assigned there. It's understandable that Chabashira was already giving up. But Ichinose?

Nakano Yuu concluded that the homeroom teacher in Ichinose Class was the problem, and that the teacher had deliberately instigated Ichinose to do this.

However, we don't have much time left, so let's change the subject.

"Ichinose, what do you think of the results of the last Island Exam?"

Nakano Yuu suddenly said.

"To be precise, how did you manage to get your partner to withdraw on their own?"

"You should know that the identity of your class leader may not have been revealed. Even if it has, Ryuuen and the others will worry that you might use the 'evil bite' tactic to forfeit, making them uncertain and unable to make a firm decision about the identity of your class leader."

"After all, their score wasn't as high as expected, so they hesitated."

Uh-huh.
