Cooperation!!

"Perhaps they're not used to being on a ship, to the feeling of not being able to step on the soil."

Horikita said somewhat timidly.

"So I started feeling unwell from the evening onwards."

In other words, they are not used to the local environment.

But Nakano secretly shook his head.

Because that's not necessarily true. In the original story, even after you arrived on the island and came into contact with the land, you still remained sick for five or six days.

"Early detection and treatment of diseases lead to better prognoses, and..."

"Nakano Yuu said."

"The exam is about to start, no later than tomorrow morning."

"Ah?"

Horikita's eyes widened slightly.

"You were sick, so you didn't notice that the ship actually arrived near a small island in the evening, and has been circling the island ever since. From here, you can see some of the island's scenery with binoculars. But it's night now, so you can't see clearly."

"That small island is Matoba we'll be taking our exam tomorrow."

"Nakano Yuu said."

"While the other classes don't yet know the exam questions, Class C each have their own corresponding plans. Within Class A, there are two factions, and the Sakayanagi Faction will cause trouble during this exam, so Katsuragi and his group won't have an easy time. As for Class C, Ryuuen has adopted a plan to forcibly control the students in his class, which seems to be an attempt to strengthen discipline. However, he only leads 37 students, and 3 are missing. These 3 might have been assigned other tasks by Ryuuen, or he might be deliberately showing off his actions to students from other classes. For now, we can assume that he might be planning a double agent operation."

"It's fair to say that Class C have all been working hard for this exam."

"But we only have one contingency plan."

Nakano Yuu looked at the sickly Horikita and said, "Get 20 million points in this exam!"

Horikita.

If Horikita felt she was suffering from acclimatization issues and unfortunately fell ill, then listening to Nakano Yuu's words, Horikita felt her mental state immediately improve.

P. S.: 13,500 words today, 9,500 words to pay off debts, 7,500 words still owed for the reward.

After paying off the bounty, I will consider continuing to repay the 242,500 words I owe for the old book, [Oregairu's Classroom of the Elite].

The original amount was over 300,000 yuan. I paid back about 100,000 yuan for the book with the silver theme, but then I found out that the silver theme had a harem, which I couldn't imagine and couldn't write. I messed it up.

I'm not pretending this time, I'm going to build a harem!

Chapter 66 Cooperation!!

After having dinner together, Nakano Yuu took Horikita to his room.

Of course, he didn't choose to let her in, after all, this wasn't a one-bedroom apartment; there were other roommates, although Yukimura Hirata's mother weren't there at the moment.

Nakano Yuu's intention in bringing her back was quite clear: to get her to take her medicine.

And he was indeed watching Horikita take his medicine.

The Island Exam are imminent.

The exam rules on the island in the original work are very simple, consisting of two parts. First, the students live together on the island, and the school will give each class 300 basic points. These points can be exchanged for living supplies, but if there are any left over, they can be added to the class evaluation score.

What students can probably do is save as many points as possible from the school's allocation and eventually convert them into evaluation points.

Secondly, it allows you to guess the identity of the team leader of the opposing class.

Before the exam begins, each of the four classes will select a leader. The leaders can use special leader cards to occupy strongholds on the island.

The island is divided into a dozen or maybe 20 outposts. The team leader can earn points by swiping their card, but at the end of the exam, there will be a guessing game for the team leader. If the class whose team leader's name is guessed correctly, the points earned from the outposts will be reset to zero, and 50 points will be deducted from the 300 base points saved earlier.

It was quite tragic.

However, if you guess the wrong name of the opposing class's team leader, then your class will lose 50 points.

These are all rules that will be announced tomorrow.

The reason why Nakano Yuu pays attention to Horikita Suzune is quite simple: this guy is an unlucky fellow.

In the original story, Horikita also falls ill during the exam, and the male protagonist deliberately chooses her as the team leader, then makes Horikita seriously ill, ultimately causing her to withdraw from the exam due to her illness.

Because of her legitimate reason of illness, other classes would naturally lose points if they didn't know she had abstained and still chose her as their team leader.

However, this is the development of the original work, and it is also the second step for the male protagonist of the original work to lead Class D.

Nakano's current goal isn't to lead the class, so there's absolutely no need for Horikita Suzune to get sick and withdraw from the competition.

Just like he told Horikita Suzune, this exam has a clear goal: to make money, to quickly gather the 20 million points he needs.

The ship is now circling the island at a steady speed, and the exam will begin no later than tomorrow.

Having read the original work beforehand, knowing the plot in advance would make things easier. And since he was in a local situation, information about the school was very important. So, what he needed to do was to obtain information in advance and sell it to suitable buyers to get points that he could directly obtain.

So what we need to do now is to gather information that can be sold for 20 million points.

"So, where do we go now?"

"That's what Horikita Suzune said."

Horikita currently has the cold medicine that Nakano Yuu asked her to buy a couple of days ago to prepare for the exam on the boarding ship in her pocket.

Just now, at the entrance of Nakano Yuu's dormitory, she had already taken the first dose of the medicine as instructed by the other party.

But since he didn't let her take the medicine directly back to the guest room, it basically meant that there were other things he wanted her to do with him.

"Get to work. The exam is tomorrow, so we need to finish everything today."

"Nakano Yuu said."

"I have some intelligence, but I need to integrate it into a product."

Oh.

Although Horikita was curious about how he knew the exam information—she'd been by his side for the past two days, and they'd only been apart for half a day—she was determined to cooperate fully for the 20 million points reward.

After all.

If Nakano Yuu can get 20 million points, then even if she takes 20%, she can still get a share of 4 million points.

That's 4 million! That's one-fifth of 20 million!

If she works with Nakano Yuu four more times and encounters such opportunities four more times, she will be able to complete her goal of collecting 20 million points, and then her brother will approve of her.

"1. We need to prepare enough valuable intelligence to sell for a high price for tomorrow's exam."

"2. We need to find buyers who can afford this price in advance."

"Nakano Yuu said."

"And now we need to accomplish the first thing."

Suzune nodded.

So the two of them went Banjo together.

At this time of day, most students are out eating, watching movies, plays, or getting massages. However, the Banjo isn't completely deserted; for example, there are people on the deck with the swimming pool right now.

There was a corner there that exuded an aura that made people afraid to approach, an aura of philosophy and intimidation.

Horikita noticed that Nakano Yuu was actually walking straight towards that direction.

And there sat the person she found utterly exasperating: Koenji Rokusuke.

He has excellent grades and is extremely athletic, even surpassing Sudo, a sports student, but he is also extremely free-spirited and willful.

Suzune doesn't target anyone specifically, but she doesn't like Koenji.

Because the other person liked to say things like "I'm so beautiful" or "I'm the most beautiful," and also liked to put their feet on the table, Suzune didn't like this kind of ill-mannered behavior.

Right now, Koenji Rokusuke is occupying two recliners all by himself, and the reason there's no one around is probably because of his size.

Abdominal muscles, defined waistline, and muscular physique.

Even her breasts are amazing.

His excessive physique and excellence made other boys feel intimidated.

However, Nakano Yuu wasn't interested in muscles.

Meanwhile, Koenji Rokusuke was drinking orange juice, and then, somewhat narcissistically, he was looking at himself in a small mirror.

"Hey, isn't this Nakano-kun? What's up? You're here to have some fun today? Want to play in the water?"

Koenji took the initiative to greet him, "Or did you see my skill level and couldn't resist wanting to have a match with me?"

"Sure, the red-haired boy challenged me to two matches during the day, and I beat him decisively both times. But I have plenty of stamina; I can always maintain it until I'm at my peak and then unleash it at any moment."

Kouenji Rokusuke was showing off his achievements. The "red-haired boy" he was referring to was probably Sudo. Sudo was the athletic superstar of Class D, Sudo always thought he was the best, easily defeating some of the weak boys in Class D. He couldn't even understand how those boys could be so weak, but he easily lost to Koenji.

Driven by his competitive spirit, Sudo wanted to fight Koenji and would sometimes take the initiative to contact Koenji.

Now, with a swimming pool on the ship, it's naturally the perfect setting for the competition.

However, aside from letting the other students from other classes who also came to the pool confirm that Class D actually has a sports freak like Sudo and a monster like Koenji, there's no other benefit to Yi's actions.

Of course, if it's a sports-related exam, then Nakano Yuu won't stop the two of them from freely demonstrating their abilities.

After all.

Ordinary people are no match for monsters, but if there aren't strict limits on scores or participation, then Class D's two monsters will attract the attention of students from other classes. Add to that another monster with hidden strength, and victory will be decided. Then they can rake in money from students in other classes who want them to slack off.

"Oh, really? Then you're very strong."

"That's what Nakano Yuu said casually."

"..."

Koenji.

Koenji quickly put down his small mirror.

"I'm serious, I can go all out against you, but I held back against the red-haired boy, after all, he's only slightly stronger than a mortal."

"Although I don't know why you usually perform physical feats like ordinary people, I really want to challenge you."

Upon hearing his words, Horikita, who was standing next to Nakano Yuu, immediately turned to look at Nakano Yuu.

Because, well, Nakano Yuu is actually quite strong in terms of stamina, endurance, and athletic ability, so why does he sometimes pay her to carry his shopping bags?

"Of course, it's so that we can sell our [strengths] for a good price at the right time without making a move."

"Nakano Yuu said."

"And let's not forget the characteristics of our class."

"The more capable you are, the more work you'll do. The more you showcase your abilities, the more likely you are to be assigned to these tasks for free or at a low price by the class, without actually receiving more in return."

"Nakano Yuu said."

"..."

Koenji.

This time, however, Koenji did not respond.

He knew Nakano Yuu; after all, people in high society don't have such a large circle, so they would inevitably have some contact with each other.

He also knew what the situation was like in Class D. He always thought he was a genius, while everyone around him was just an ordinary person. If he didn't work hard, the ordinary people wouldn't be able to catch up. But he still worked very hard, so the ordinary people couldn't even see his tail.

However, now that Nakano Yuu has said so, the other party's intention in coming to find him is quite clear.

"So, do you have any plans on your end that can earn a lot of points?"

As the heir to the Koenji Zaibatsu, Koenji came with a mission: his father wanted to make contact with Kijima, the person who supported Ikusei High School and is now the Prime Kijima.

So he came in, using this opportunity to see his father, as a parent, meet the Prime Minister of Kijima when he was in second grade.

The two sides have already finalized this agreement.

Naturally, as the heir to the Koenji Zaibatsu, Koenji Rokusuke, having entered this school, would naturally graduate with the highest honors. And to be considered outstanding at this school, one only needs to achieve one thing: become a graduate of Class A.

However, he was assigned to Class D after enrolling, but he didn't care. He didn't care at all about other people's opinions of him because he knew he was the strongest.

Moreover, in order to cope with this predicament, he prepared a year before enrolling in school by posting a photo of himself as the heir to the Koenji Zaibatsu on his company's website.

This way, students at Ikusei High School will know him. Then he will use 20 million in cash to buy 20 million points to complete the game. 20 million in cash is no problem for him, as his own company has long exceeded that revenue figure.
