Koenji was sunbathing, and his tone was quite relaxed.

They are truly enjoying life, which is completely different from other students who are worried about exams.

"Your Class D phones were all confiscated, weren't they?"

Ryuuen said.

"But your phone seems to still be there."

Ryuuen noticed a cell phone next to a chair at Koenji.

Upon arriving at the Dragon Group, he discovered that the students in Class D didn't have cell phones. From the intelligence he gathered, he learned that the students in other Class D groups also didn't have cell phones because Nakano Yuu had taken them away. Not only was he unaware of the information about the VIP, but he didn't even have their cell phones.

The method wasn't entirely incomprehensible: they turned the intelligence into secret information and then forbade the idiots in Class D from answering incorrectly.

However, the fact that Koenji now has a cell phone made Ryuuen suddenly wary, worried that this was a setup. Otherwise, if everyone's cell phones were confiscated, why was Koenji's phone left out?

"Did Nakano Yuu leave this for you on purpose?"

Ryuuen said.

"No, I sensed they were up to something, so I didn't go. That's why my phone wasn't confiscated. But you're saying they confiscated my phone, right?"

"Koenji said."

"That's quite interesting. When it comes to making money, I'm definitely no match for him."

Oh?

Ryuuen now understood; this guy was actually a big fish.

Not only does he have a clear mind, but he can also see through Nakano Yuu's actions.

Or rather, they would definitely be tempted. An Island Exam directly gave Nakano Yuu free points, while Koenji was still far from that.

"500,000 points. You finish the exam early, then tell me the name of the VIP."

Ryuuen said.

"And if you answer the question correctly regarding VIP, you will also receive a reward of 500,000 points."

Ryuuen said.

In other words, you can get 1 million points at Koenji.

Ryuuen also benefited; the VIP information on the phone produced by the traitor from Class B belonged to the Monkey Group, and attacking Class B would result in points being lost, whether it was their own class or the attack from Koenji.

"500,000 is still too little, I want 1 million."

Koenji, however, chose to raise its prices.

"Can."

Ryuuen didn't object, after all, you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub. And Koenji confirmed that his cost price was only 3 million, lower than other classes.

"Ha, then the cooperation is successful, and I don't need to attend the rally."

"Koenji said."

"So, do you need any other services? For example, would you like me to tell you the names of the VIP and explain the special meaning behind those names?"

For example.

Koenji Road.

"If there's a pattern in the VIP assigned to each class, then we can work backward from the known information about the VIP to obtain information on all the VIP in the entire class. So, want to hire me? 5 million! One price, 5 million, I can help you deduce the pattern."

"..."

Ryuuen.

Ryuuen admitted that the Koenji in Class D was indeed a big fish.

"I don't need you."

However, Ryuuen refused.

Because he couldn't possibly reveal the information about the VIP in his class to others. Otherwise, if Koenji leaked it and sold it for a higher price, he'd be finished.

Moreover, 5 million is too expensive.

"Alright."

Koenji didn't ask any further questions. It was just a one-time cooperation agreement anyway.

He also found those discussions boring, especially since they had to be held for three consecutive days – wouldn't that be even more boring?

"I'm in the Monkey Group. I already found out who the VIP are at the morning gathering. This exam is basically a game of finding the liars, so if it ends early, I can continue enjoying my vacation."

Saying this, he directly sent the email address that sent the school the message that he was not VIP to the name of someone he believed was VIP individual.

[The Monkey Group's exam is over. The Monkey Group's exam is over.]

Then the loudspeaker started playing.

Yes, whether you guessed right or wrong, as long as someone sent the answers in advance, it means the exam is over.

Koenji was just very confident.

Points earned.

He said.

"Also, this is the list I sent."

Ryuuen saw the message sent by Koenji.

[Shijo Ni]

It's done.

Ryuuen breathed a sigh of relief.

It's lunch break time.

They still needed to attend a gathering that evening. Nakano Yuu, on the other hand, went to the deck to drink water and feed the seagulls.

However, you rarely see students from Class A here now, but you can see students from Class B. Class A is now Ichinose Class, and both classes have received a list of VIP by other classes.

The task now is to deduce the pattern.

Under Ichinose's leadership, Class A works together Ichinose, so once they get the list, they'll probably use all their strength to deduce the pattern.

Unlike Class A, Class B is more fragmented. At least, Katsuragi or Sakayanagi might know the list and start deducing the patterns, or even arrange for their confidants to participate, but they cannot delegate as much as other students.

So even if he wanted to ask Ichinose out, he couldn't. Right now, Kushida is by his side.

"I thought Kushida was very popular, since we're all friends and I get a lot of invitations, but she actually came all the way to keep me company. I'm really flattered."

"Nakano Yuu said."

"Hehe."

Kushida just smiled.

But you could tell she wasn't in a good mood.

Because Nakano Yuu is a strange guy. He said that he initially wanted to ask Horikita out, but he thought Horikita's acting was bad, so he asked her to come over and have her stay with him all day.

How infuriating! It's as if she's the one who's good at pretending.

"However, if you're asking for those four times back, I don't think it's really feasible right now. My guest room is occupied, and Horikita is probably in your room too."

"Nakano Yuu said."

"Don't mention this kind of thing."

However, Kushida's tone changed abruptly, "I wouldn't do that. I would never do that on a ship."

But Kushida quickly stopped talking because she noticed someone approaching. It was Ibuki with short hair.

"What's up?"

Nakano Yuu turned to look at Ibuki Mio, who was walking straight towards him, and asked politely.

But I don't have any underwear now.

"Let's not talk about this again."

Ibuki's face flushed instantly. "It wasn't me who wanted to see you."

"It was me who wanted to find you."

A somewhat flirtatious voice came from behind the girl. Ibuki Mio stepped aside, and then a man with red, center-parted hair walked out.

"Ryuen Kakeru?"

Nakano Yuu looked puzzled, then shook his head.

"Are you trying to buy information about VIP from me?"

"There is indeed one spot left."

"However, it's too late for Class B to get their lists now."

"Nakano Yuu said."

"A list? We don't need a list anymore!"

Ryuen Kakeru grinned smugly, looking completely confident of victory. "Selling one list earns you 5 million, two lists would be 10 million. You really know how to make money. But it's useless now. Anyone willing to pay you for a list is a jerk!"

"You've already deduced the pattern?"

Nakano Yuu frowned, realizing that things were not so simple.

"Hey-hey."

Ryuen Kakeru's lips curled slightly upwards, his mood pleased. "Looks like you're going to suffer a setback. Our cooperation was indeed quite effective before, but during the exam on the island, you sold the final information to Ichinose, so you're no longer the best partner. And this time, you'll reap the bitter fruit. Because I've seen through everything!"

To taste bitter fruit, but what kind of bitter fruit?

Nakano Yuu stared at Ryuuen expressionlessly, without saying a word.

He wasn't surprised by Ryuuen's current state.

"You don't believe me?"

Seeing Nakano Yuu's expression, Ryuen Kakeru chuckled, "Well then, I'll show you."

As he spoke, Ryuen Kakeru took out his phone, seemingly to send a message to some student.

And very soon.

[The Horse Group exam has ended. Students in the Horse Group do not need to participate in the exam anymore. Please wait for the results to be announced.]

An announcement came over the loudspeaker, and the members of Horse Group, not far away, looked surprised and said something like the exam was over.

"The people from Class D are the VIP in the Horse Group, right?"

Ryuen Kakeru grinned, his smile filled with the joy and arrogance of a triumphant victory. "Yamauchi Haruki, what a pathetic name!"

Ryuen Kakeru wore a disdainful expression, but the smugness in his eyes completely betrayed him.

Yamauchi Haruki is indeed a member of the Horse Group.

"Nakano-kun..."

Upon hearing Ryuuen's voice, Kushida's expression immediately turned panicked, and she hurriedly turned her gaze to Nakano Yuu, completely losing the mindset she had just been having with him.

Yamauchi Haruki.

Nakano Yuu looked at Kushida, his expression calm, lost in thought.

"How could this happen... The VIP is from the Horse Group."

Kushida was completely panicked. Clearly, since she was with Nakano Yuu, she knew the identities of the three VIP in the class.

Her current flustered behavior is worthy of an Oscar.

"Looks like you've really figured out the pattern."

Nakano Yuu looked at Ryuen Kakeru and sighed with mixed feelings.

"It seems you still don't believe me?"

Ryuen Kakeru's face darkened, and the arrogance he had originally intended to show off in front of Nakano Yuu vanished without a trace.
