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

Ichinose moment, realizing that when the Island Exam, their class leader, Shibata, hadn't withdrawn naturally; he had chosen to withdraw after being bitten by a snake.

The reason for this was that it was considered that Ibuki might have been sent over as a spy.

Although this possibility cannot be determined, their class has already paid 20 million points to make a deal with Nakano-kun, and it would be troublesome if they failed at the last minute.

So.

In the end Shibata chose to sacrifice himself.

Choosing to be bitten by a snake and then quit ultimately adds an extra layer of protection for the class.

Now, Nakano is probably wondering why she made this choice.

Indeed.

Watching her classmate have to sacrifice herself was definitely not her style. If danger were to be encountered, she would be willing to take the blame herself first.

Only.

"Well, I'm very happy to have come to this school and be able to live here with everyone for three years."

She said, "But now it seems that this school isn't just about making our lives enjoyable, so my classmates also need to work harder, and I will work hard for them too."

This answer was somewhat irrelevant, but Nakano Yuu understood that this meant Ichinose was now completely serious.

The reason why Ichinose Class appears weaker in the original work is because, although their overall strength is very high, they are very saintly, honest, and united. They even want to follow in the footsteps of Horikita Manabu, the Student Council President, and not give up on any student, advancing and retreating together.

This is very difficult and places extremely high demands on the class representative.

While the students in their class were united, the class representative lacked assertiveness, so this was Ichinose's fault.

And now.

No the same.

This Ichinose is indeed different; perhaps she can follow in Horikita Manabu's footsteps, or even surpass him.

After all, they're already in Class A.

"Then I'm really looking forward to it too."

Nakano Yuu said, "I look forward to you all growing up, and then accepting me."

"Acceptance?"

Ichinose blinked.

"You probably know that once you accumulate 20 million points, you can go to your favorite class. I don't really like the original Class A. I think the atmosphere in your Class B is pretty good."

They're all so kind and generous, and they'll even count the money for you after you've been sold out, which makes you feel very at ease.

"So, Nakano-kun doesn't want to stay in Class D anymore?"

Ichinose asked cautiously.

"Yes, you'll see from this exam. If they weren't so incompetent, why wouldn't they even know if they're considered VIP? It's because we were worried that if they found out, others would notice and the class would lose points."

Nakano Yuu looked utterly devastated.

This may seem like casual conversation, but it's actually conveying the message that the exam is decided. None of the students in Class D know who the VIP are, so Ichinose, don't bother trying. Even if Class B joins in the conversation, the students in Class D will still be completely clueless, and that won't change.

Therefore, Class D is not cooperating with the exam, and this will continue until the exam ends.

Ichinose was clever enough to tell from the instant her face turned sour. She had been tricked.

And at this time...

"Ichinose, what are you doing here?"

The Dragon Group members came out of the room, and Katsuragi looked up and saw Ichinose Honami and Nakano Yuu.

Katsuragi's eyes flickered when he saw Nakano Yuu, but he quickly looked at Ichinose.

As a former student and leader of Class A, he cared a lot about the former Class B, whose academic and physical abilities were comparable to theirs. Therefore, he did a lot of research on Ichinose Honami leader of Class B.

This really needs to be treated with caution, especially now.

Because it was this original Class B that pushed them down from Class A.

"Now that you knew I was coming here, you know what I'm going to say, right?"

Katsuragi was tall and strong, but Ichinose remained unmoved. "Why would you let your students disrupt the exam? It's like trying to trick people into thinking they're VIP."

"Oh."

However, Katsuragi leaned against the wall and said, "Isn't this in line with the school's requirements for the assessment? Since there are results three and four, it means the school allows this method of deliberately misleading other classes into guessing the VIP in order to pass the exam."

"And you don't need to worry too much. There are 12 groups in total, and this is how our class handles it. Regardless of whether a student is a VIP or not, they will act as if they are, and then make you guess wrong."

"After all, it's easy for various loopholes to appear in exams where it's impossible to uniformly control all students."

Katsuragi Road.

Ichinose remained silent, which caused her gaze to shift slightly, because she realized that what Katsuragi had said was very similar to what Nakano had said earlier. In other words, could Nakano actually be placed in Class A?

So why were I initially assigned to Class D?

When she noticed the difference in student levels, she went directly to Class A, but unfortunately, she didn't see Nakano there.

In the end, she met him in Class D, but he didn't recognize her at all.

"This isn't your plan, Katsuragi!"

However, at this moment, another student from Class A stepped forward.

"This is Classmate Sakayanagi's instruction!"

The student said.

Clearly, needless to say, this is Sakayanagi's Puppy; the students of the Sakayanagi Faction are quite radical. Like Sakayanagi, they have absolutely no idea what compromise means.

"..."

Katsuragi.

Therefore, Katsuragi chose to remain silent.

"It seems that Classmate Sakayanagi really participated in this exam."

Ichinose said.

"But did Classmate Sakayanagi come aboard the ship?"

Last night, Ichinose followed the information they got from Nakano Yuu, borrowed a camera, and took pictures of the group's roster.

Then, in the Dragon Group's roster, I did see the name Sakayanagi Arisu.

"They shouldn't be here."

Nakano Yuu said.

"Because if she were there, she would have come out herself while we were discussing things, instead of sending her own dog out."

"..."

Students in Class B.

"..."

The student was called a puppy.

However, the student from Class B who had just come out remained expressionless, clearly not having much objection to what Nakano Yuu said.

That's terrifying.

They're being called "puppy" and they're not even angry.

The students in this class all have some degree of masochistic tendencies.

"However, since the Sakayanagi Faction members, Ichinose Katsuragi all here, I don't need to gather you all together anymore."

"Nakano Yuu said."

"What do you mean?"

Katsuragi's expression finally changed.

"Now we're still missing a Ryuuen."

"Nakano Yuu said."

"Are you kidding me?!"

There were still students in the Dragon Group's room at that moment, but noisy sounds were coming from inside.

Upon hearing that voice, Nakano Yuu immediately went inside, because the person who spoke those words was none other than Horikita Suzune.

Nakano Yuu has already obtained the Dragon Group's member list from Horikita.

Class A: Ando Sayo, Tsube Hitomi, Kanzaki Ryuji.

Class B: Katsuragi Kohei, Nishikawa Ryoko, Ba Shinjiya and Sakayanagi Arisu.

Class C: Oda Takumi, Suzuki Hidetoshi, Sonoda Masashi, Ryuen Kakeru.

Class D: Kushida Kikyou, Hirata Yousuke, Horikita Suzune.

There are a total of 14 people.

Currently, only Kushida, Hirata, Horikita, Ryuuen, and Kanzaki Ryuji from Class A are in the room.

Kanzaki Ryuji is a handsome boy with slightly curly purple hair, and he is the vice class representative of Ichinose Class.

He seems very reliable, and he appears quite domineering as long as he doesn't clash with the male lead from the original work.

Ryuuen sat in the chair with a smug smile on his face, while Horikita looked very displeased.

"What happened?"

Nakano Yuu hadn't paid attention to their conversation, so he didn't have a complete understanding of the situation.

"Ryuuen wanted our Class D to cooperate with him, and then he even took pictures of Horikita Sado."

Hirata continued explaining from inside.

Oh.

Take a picture.

Ryuen.

You seem quite brave.

What were the terms of cooperation he offered?

Nakano Yuu.

"Could it be... that we really have to cooperate with him?"

Hirata hesitated.

"He told us to tell him the names of all the VIP."

Horikita Suzune said, "And he won't guess which class VIP, so our class won't lose points. Then he'll cooperate with us to get result one. At the same time, he'll give us half of the points he gets for guessing which class's VIP treatment is correct."

And this condition seems pretty good.

But.

"He also mentioned cooperating with our Class A."

Sitting in the corner, Kanzaki Ryuji added, "The conditions are the same: we won't guess which class it is, and we'll choose option one, the one that leads to common prosperity."

"There are only four classes in one grade, and now you actually want to team up with both Class A and Class D? Could it be that Ryuuen, this time you're...?"

Ichinose walked in, and she had probably overheard what had happened.

"Of course, it's to make money."

Ryuuen said.

"Didn't you guys notice this time? Aside from going for result one, everything else was a losing proposition."

"Especially for results three and four, even if you correctly guessed the VIP class of the opposing class, which means getting 500,000 points, the opposing class will receive -50 points."

"And if we were to argue with each other, I'm afraid only our three classes, A, B, and C, would have all their points deducted."

Ryuuen said.
