Sakayanagi, Practically Giving Herself Away!
"Your class still has two more VIP: one is Sotomura Hideo the Rabbit Group, and the other is Horikita Suzune from the Dragon Group!"
Like a gambler, Ryuuen frantically tried to deliver a fatal blow to Nakano Yuu. "I've figured out the pattern, obtained the privilege status for all of your Class D VIP, and I even asked the teacher. There's no zero-point guarantee this time, so your class will lose points and end up with a negative score!"
"And how are you going to face the anger of your students after selling the list of VIP in your class?!"
Ryuuen said.
"Eh."
Nakano sighed softly as he watched Ryuen's excited and over-the-top expression.
"I thought you'd be a bit smarter."
"In the end, I was still scammed."
"What's the meaning?"
A sudden sense of foreboding rose in Ryuen Kakeru's heart, and he hurriedly said, "Ibuki, send the email quickly!"
"But..."
Ibuki Mio hesitated, still unsure of the VIP's identity.
"It's Sotomura Hideo! Hurry up!"
"Ding-dong!"
However, at that moment, cell phones started ringing on this side of the deck, not just one or two.
Instead, just like before, it rang out continuously.
"The Tiger Group exam is over. Students in the Tiger Group do not need to take the exam anymore. Please wait for the results to be announced."
"The Snake Group exam is over. Students in the Snake Group do not need to take the exam anymore. Please wait for the results to be announced."
"The Sheep Group's exam is over. Students in the Sheep Group do not need to take the exam anymore. Please wait for the results to be announced."
"The exam for the Boar Group is over. Students in the Boar Group do not need to take the exam anymore. Please wait for the results to be announced."
"..."
"The exam is over once all four groups have finished answering. You are free to move around. Members of the remaining groups will continue with the exam."
Less than a minute after the results of the Horse Group's exam were released, a series of text messages were sent to the members of these groups. Meanwhile, an announcement was made over the loudspeaker on the ship.
Ryuuen frowned.
Because... damn it, the special VIP in these three groups—Tiger, Snake, and Sheep—are all from his class.
However, he did not order the sending of these messages, and the students in the same class as the VIP were also unable to send messages.
Now.
Have Sakayanagi and his team already deduced the pattern?
"Ryuuen, should we send it?"
Ibuki had already prepared the message and included Sotomura Hideo's name. She was a member of the Rabbit Group, so she could send it.
"%..."
Ryuuen.
Ryuuen then looked at Nakano Yuu.
Nakano, on the other hand, opened his hands as if to say he couldn't help.
"500,000!"
Ryuuen said.
No. What happened to your fierceness just now, and your promise to never do business with Nakano Yuu again?
Why would they give money right away?
Meanwhile, Kushida watched their development with utter astonishment.
"2 million."
"Nakano Yuu said."
Ryuuen felt that his prices were jumping too fast.
However, Nakano Yuu's confident demeanor made him somewhat uneasy.
"Can."
Ryuuen said.
Because he already sensed something was wrong.
"Don't send them anymore, because this is your last chance to save your class's evaluation score. If you send them all out, your class is doomed."
"Nakano Yuu said."
"You can only wait patiently for the remaining groups to reach result one and recoup some points."
Grass!
Doesn't this mean that the VIP rule you derived is wrong? Answering incorrectly will result in a point deduction.
Or rather...
Ryuuen finally realized that he had been tricked.
P. S.: 13,500 words today, 9,500 words to repay. I'm also repaying the bounty on the old book "Oregairu's Classroom of the Elite" which I'm currently owing 133,500 words.

Chapter 93 Sakayanagi, a Free Sakayanagi!
Ryuuen realized he had been tricked.
He was basically certain that the deduced pattern was wrong, meaning that the discovered pattern was not the one the school wanted, which was why things turned out this way. However, he also suspected that the initial list of VIP from other classes was probably wrong as well.
That's why Nakano Yuu was looking at him like that. And according to the other party's reputation, although this guy was a bit shady, his information was basically accurate, so the current 2 million points also stopped Ryuuen from making any more foolish moves.
That would be terrible.
Since Ryuuen has already submitted the list of VIP for the Horse Group, it is clearly also incorrect.
Yamauchi Haruki of Class D is not VIP of the Horse Group.
And now.
Of the four groups that were eliminated by the buzzer, Tiger, Snake, and Sheep were all groups in his class that received VIP, so it's almost certain that they will lose 150 points.
Then, the people he arranged guessed the VIP of the Horse Group wrong, so they deducted 50 points.
That means 200 points were deducted directly!
The exam has already paid out 2.5 million to the traitor in Class B, 1 million to Koenji, and 2 million to Nakano Yuu.
Damn it, I should have just ignored everything. Even if I honestly got penalized, it would only be -150 points, since there are only three people in my class VIP. Then I could have kept everyone else from answering first, and I would have been basically safe.
But this is the result.
"..."
Ryuuen.
Ryuuen realized he had gone too far.
But.
Damn it, why did this happen?
"Ryuuen!"
Ibuki noticed that Ryuuen's face was tense and ashen.
"Go find Hashimoto Masayoshi!"
Ryuuen said.
"That guy lied to us! He gave us the wrong information!"
It has to be said that as expected of Ryuuen, even though they are about to lose, they still provide some information.
For example, the source of the information he obtained was Hashimoto Masayoshi from Class B.
So.
The person who betrayed Katsuragi before should also be this Hashimoto. After all, Ryuen wouldn't immediately choose a new trader; there needs to be a certain level of credibility before he would choose to abandon the correct information from Nakano Yuu.
"Hashimoto Masayoshi?"
Kushida, however, knew this student.
After all, boys tend to rank the list of beautiful girls, while girls also pay attention to handsome boys. Hashimoto is the face of Class B, and his looks seem to attract girls. He also has a good relationship with a girl named Maezono from Class D.
It seems they're about to develop into a romantic relationship.
Maezono's appearance was below average, while Hashimoto was of above-average looks. Kushida felt they weren't a good match, but Maezono insisted that Hashimoto had confessed his feelings to her. She suspected something was amiss. After all, pretty girls might choose an average-looking guy as their boyfriend for various reasons, but guys are different; given a choice, they would definitely choose a pretty girl.
"Yes, it must be him."
"Nakano Yuu said."
He remembered that in the original story, Hashimoto was indeed the traitor in Hashimoto 'Island Exam, and also the one who betrayed Sakayanagi.
And they have two records.
Firstly, betraying the class indirectly led to the unfortunate expulsion of the dog -Kamuro.
Secondly, they blindly idolize the original male protagonist, believing that only he can Salvation them. They then hope he will come to their class, and in practice, they succeed. However, both Katsuragi and Sakayanagi are driven away, leaving a leaderless class with a protagonist who treats everyone as mere tools.
So, will this class really be safe and lucky?
If Sakayanagi doesn't value the class much and treats it like a toy, then the new monster Hashimoto brought in isn't there to Salvation them either.
However, none of this concerns him, since the original male protagonist is no longer around.
However, Hashimoto -san should still be given more attention.
Hashimoto is because, besides blindly idolizing the original male protagonist, Hashimoto is also a truly self-serving person who only cares about himself.
He had placed bets in Katsuragi Sakayanagi, and also secretly contacted Ryuuen to Ryuuen bets there. He even had private conversations with the original protagonist, hoping to place bets with him. In other words, he was a so-called spy for four parties.
Now, Ryuuen has said that he paid 1 million points to acquire information about Totsuka Yahiko as the team leader.
However, in the original story, Hashimoto was also a traitor, but he only asked for 500,000 yen.
It's fair to say that, thanks to Nakano-kun's arrival, even intelligence and information have become more expensive.
Nakano Yuu and his friends soon encountered Hashimoto, who had been punched to the ground by Ryuuen.
Because Hashimoto was nearby, Ryuuen found him almost without needing to confirm anything.
"Hey, Ryuuen, what are you doing!"
There were also students from Class B on the Banjo, two of whom were from the Sakayanagi Faction and three from the Katsuragi Faction.
The reason this is so clearly confirmed is that Katsuragi Faction Totsuka Yahiko to lead the team, and when Hashimoto was beaten, he and his students just watched.
Meanwhile, the members of the Sakayanagi Faction went to help Hashimoto.
"What I do is not your question!"
Ryuuen said.
"Damn it, they sold me fake news!"
"Fake news? What fake news?"
Hashimoto wore an innocent expression.
"Heh, still trying to play dumb, huh? The information you gave me about the VIP in the Monkey Group is fake. The VIP isn't Shijo Ni."
"..."×N.
Upon discovering there was a reason behind it, the classmates who had initially been protecting Hashimoto began to look at Hashimoto.
They probably never expected there would be a spy in their class.
"Hashimoto, have you betrayed the class?"
