Classes A and C's Bidding War Leaves Classes B and D Stunned for a Whole Year!
Meanwhile Nakano Yuu chose to stay up all night with Horikita, waiting for Koenji to depart, to obtain "information on the facts," and then rush to meet a buyer who could offer 20 million points.
And so, the next day arrived quickly.
It was 8:00 AM.
Although many students felt they could continue enjoying their vacation, some still got up early and came to the deck.
For example, Nakano Yuu Class 1-D.
However, Nakano wasn't alone today; he had a classmate who also got up early beside him.
To be precise, Nakano Yuu got up in the morning and brought bread to the deck to feed the seagulls. Then, a classmate noticed his actions and came over to say hello.
"Nakano."
The tone suggested a lack of familiarity, but it's not unusual to address someone like that in a public setting.
Furthermore, Nakano Yuu hadn't had much contact with the other person, so they seemed rather distant. They were probably just classmates.
"Oh, Karuizawa."
Nakano Yuu also greeted the other person.
It's fair to say that Karuizawa is indeed quite beautiful, with a pretty blonde ponytail and delicate features. She truly deserves to be the cutest girl in the entire grade, aside from Sakayanagi.
Nakano Yuu continued feeding the seagulls.
Karuizawa, on the other hand, walked over to the railing.
She came over because she saw Nakano Yuu there.
Once on Banjo, gazing at the distant sea, Karuizawa hesitated, asking uncertainly, "Does this mean the ship will stop later?"
67
Chapter 67: The bidding war between Class C shocked Class D for an entire year!
"Does that mean the ship will stop later?"
No wonder Karuizawa asked that.
Because if you stand on the Banjo and look out, you can see a small green island not far away.
Students from other classes, who had been gathering in small groups on the Banjo, also noticed this.
"Katsuragi, over here!"
The students from Class A also arrived, including Katsuragi and his younger Totsuka Yahiko. Totsuka Yahiko, like Kamuro, was of average or below-average academic ability.
However, the reason why Totsuka Yahiko remembered Nakano Yuu was because he was a dropout from Class A in the original work.
However, this is only the first semester, so he will probably stay for another six months or so.
Not only Katsuragi and Totsuka, but several students from Class A also came, but there was no trace of the purple-haired Kamuro, nor even the Yamamura student they had seen last night.
"Katsuragi!"
These students all followed Katsuragi's lead.
Clearly, this is a student of the Katsuragi Faction.
The students of the Sakayanagi Faction, on the other hand, were straightforward and decisive, completely disregarding the exams.
It can be said that although this year's students are special and Class A has the strongest overall strength, as Long Ryuuen said, if there isn't just one representative speaking out, then the class's shortcomings cannot be overcome.
Therefore, this is an opportunity for Class C.
But Ryuen is not currently on Banjo.
"That's an island!"
Like Karuizawa, the students in Class A also noticed the small island in front of the ship. Just like last night, the ship was still circling the island at a constant speed.
"Could this be the Matoba the exam this time?"
Katsuragi has already reacted.
He took out his phone, tried to open the camera, and then turned on the focus function. Unfortunately, the distance between the ship and the island was still too great, and the camera's resolution was insufficient to capture the island's scenery.
"Go borrow cameras and binoculars. And remember, borrow all the binoculars and cameras on the ship."
Katsuragi made a quick decision and spoke to Yahiko. He himself then quickly took out a small notebook and a black pen to take notes.
What does he mean by that?
Karuizawa watched Katsuragi's strange behavior with some confusion.
"This trip isn't a trip, it's an exam."
Nakano Yuu explained to Karuizawa.
"Katsuragi probably believes that the small island ahead is the testing ground for this exam."
"Then he also noticed that the ship was circling the island instead of heading directly to it to dock. Given the school's usual practices, perhaps they were having the students gather intelligence in advance."
Now he wants to get the first batch of information before everyone notices, but his phone can't capture the island's specific scenery, so he needs to borrow a camera and binoculars."
"Is Katsuragi from Class A really that perceptive?"
Karuizawa said, somewhat surprised.
Although I have spent two months in this school and have learned about class competition, and even that other classes are different from my Class D, they already have clear class representatives.
But.
"Wait a minute, isn't this a terrible situation?"
Karuizawa said somewhat urgently.
"Because if we had cameras and binoculars, we could see the Matoba on the island in advance, but Katsuragi from Class A just had his classmates borrow all the cameras and binoculars!"
"So what should we do?"
Clearly, she had also realized how ominous Katsuragi's actions had been.
"After all, I'm a steady man."
Meanwhile, Katsuragi had already made preparations and arranged for Yahiko and two other students to borrow the camera and binoculars.
Therefore, others cannot use cameras and telescopes to gain an early advantage.
While waiting, he walked directly towards Nakano Yuu.
Actually, he had just seen him.
Meanwhile, on this Nakano Yuu was only focused on talking to a girl from his class, Karuizawa Megumi, his girlfriend from Class 1-D in the first year, whom he had recommended.
After paying Vice President Nagumo's 300,000 points, Karuizawa joined the Student Council.
Although she was given the position of Public Morals Committee Member, which belonged to the Student Council, the position was too lowly for her to be qualified to come to the office, so this was the first time Katsuragi had seen her.
However, when they were in the Student Council, Nakano Yuu told Nagumo- senpai that he wanted to recommend his girlfriend to join, so Katsuragi thought the two of them were a couple.
Therefore, Katsuragi was quite polite and didn't scrutinize Karuizawa closely.
After all, she's his girlfriend.
But he had just been listening to their conversation.
He admitted that Nakano Yuu was indeed quite skilled; he could guess his thoughts.
But.
"Aren't you interested in this exam?"
Katsuragi said.
"Indeed, this kind of exam was very sudden, and even now I haven't obtained any more information."
"..."
Nakano Yuu.
Nakano didn't say anything, but just quietly looked at Katsuragi. This gaze gave Katsuragi a bad feeling.
Finally.
"Have you returned the points that Senior Nagumo advanced to him?"
"Nakano Yuu said."
"This..."
Katsuragi paused slightly as he spoke, explaining that last month Nakano Yuu came to the Student Council to collect a debt from him. Although Nagumo- senpai eventually paid it, Katsuragi ended up owing Nagumo- senpai 600,000 points.
Now that it's a new month, he can naturally collect points if he wants to. And he did just that, continuing to collect points from the students who supported him in the class, not for his own use, but to pay off his debts and have a reserve of points to prepare for the exams.
At that time, it will be very convenient to either bribe or arrange for people to do things.
"Only half has been repaid."
Katsuragi said.
And he did indeed start repaying the money when the school distributed living expenses to everyone, and after accumulating points, he only repaid half of it, planning to repay the other half after the exam.
This is for the sake of caution, to have some resources on hand to allow for contingencies.
"So how many points can we collect now?"
Nakano Yuu continued.
"Sakayanagi gave you command of the class, so you can collect all the points from Class A students instead of just your Katsuragi Faction members, right?"
"..."
Katsuragi.???
No.
Katsuragi frowned; he felt that something was very wrong.
He had just felt he had the upper hand, but now, he suddenly felt uneasy.
Because of what Nakano Yuu said and the tone of his voice, he was reminded of the time at the end of the first month when Nakano Yuu sold him Matoba position of Student Council secretary.
At the time, Nakano was dissatisfied because he could only collect 300,000 points, and eventually demanded an additional 1 million.
So now, can we still interpret the other person's tone as...?
Nakano-kun, does he actually have other bargaining chips that he's going to sell to him?
Katsuragi did not reply immediately.
But once Nakano-kun started talking, he really got going.
Why do you think I came to this deck so early?
"That's what Nakano said."
"Are you just here to feed the seagulls?"
Isn't it for feeding seagulls?
You still have bread in your hand.
Just now, when a seagull flew over and ate the bread from Nakano Yuu's hand, Karuizawa secretly touched it. The fact that the seagull didn't run away shows that it had been fed for a while and was no longer afraid of people.
But now she chooses to listen quietly.
"You've come to this deck now and see the island, but what you don't know is that the ship was actually circling the island at a steady speed yesterday evening."
"Nakano Yuu said."
"So, you think I didn't think of that, right?"
Forehead.
Katsuragi began to vaguely realize that he had indeed become too complacent.
He suddenly realized that since Nakano Yuu knew about the exam last night, and that the questions were related to the island ahead, he must have been well-prepared.
This morning, we brought them to the deck not to feed the seagulls, but... to extort money from them!
And at this time...
"Katsuragi, something terrible has happened!"
