Only Class B Is Taking the Exam Seriously! (Continued)

"You mean your Class D is going to resell the supplies? Hmm?" Katsuragi certainly knew that the basic supplies the school provided to each class were definitely not enough. For example, a class of 40 students only received 4 tents, and each tent could only sleep 6-8 people at most. The toilets provided were also simple ones, which could be used occasionally, but definitely not enough for 40 students.

Then the rules also stipulate that if you feel unwell, you have to quit, and if you quit, you will be penalized.

Therefore, the base score of 300 points cannot be maintained and must be used to pay for expenses.

All that can be adjusted is the amount of flowers blooming.

But now, what does Sudo from Class D mean? Class D reselling supplies; are they planning to exchange all 300 of their base points for supplies and sell them?

"Did Nakano Yuu arrange for you to come here?"

Katsuragi's mind worked quickly, and he immediately thought of someone.

"Yes, it was Nakano who suggested it. And it's not just about notifying you to come over and discuss the bid; I also need to find the leaders of Class B and Class C."

"That's what Sudo said."

"Why? If Class A offers you a price high enough, why don't you just sell it to us directly?"

Yahiko said.

"No, no, no, other classes definitely need to join in. Although I'm not happy with Ryuuen, I still have to go find Ryuuen now."

"That's what Sudo said."

"Because comparing prices at three different stores will definitely result in higher prices!"

"I can say that," Sudo said confidently.

"And I want to see that guy Ryuuen begging me!"

"..." x 40 people.

The students in Class A were speechless. Although they felt that Sudo had used the wrong word, as "compare prices" is not used in this way, after filtering out the conflict between Sudo and Ryuuen, the other students also felt that Class D' s idea was far-fetched. Then there was the fact that after thinking this way, Class D actually wanted to find other classes to join in.

This would only mean that Class A would have to pay more money.

"Teacher, can the supplies purchased using basic points be donated to other classes?"

Katsuragi Road.

Ms. Mashima was still responsible for distributing leader cards to the students in Class A, so she was naturally still on the beach.

"The school gives each class 300 base points to exchange for supplies, and the only requirement for these points is that the students in that class use their own base points."

There are no additional restrictions on how the exchanged supplies can be used.

Ms. Mashima, the homeroom teacher of Class A, said.

In other words, it is feasible for Class D to resell the supplies if they want to.

If Class D really gives the supplies to Class A, then Class A can save the 300 base points that they would otherwise have to spend.

Furthermore, due to Sakayanagi's absence, Class A's initial score of 300 points was actually reduced by 30 points. Therefore, they started with 30 points less than other classes.

However, if Class D can pay for their supplies, Class A might be able to earn a score of over 500 points in this exam!

The idea was quickly disseminated.

It's fair to say that the guaranteed 300 points in evaluation scores mentioned earlier by Katsuragi were already enough to excite them, and now they can even get an additional 200 points.

500 points!

"If you spend all your base points to provide supplies to other classes, then your Class D won't have many points left, right?"

However, at this moment, a student from Class A said...

This is Kamuro Masumi.

He's Sakayanagi's Puppy; of course, those in the Sakayanagi Faction know he's Sakayanagi's right-hand man.

But Kamuro, even though you're a member of the Sakayanagi Faction and can't stand the fact that Katsuragi's leadership might increase the class's evaluation score by 500 points, why are you saying things like this now?

What if we remind the students in Class D that they won't get good scores in this exam, and then they give up on selling supplies?

Alternatively, all the supplies could be provided to Class A, leaving Class D with insufficient resources.

But why remind Class D? Get the supplies first!

Who cares?

However, Sudo said, "The students in our class only want living expenses right now. Whichever class offers the most money, that's the class we'll sell to!"

Um. X41.

This turned into Matoba both the students in Class A and Class A homeroom teacher remained silent.

Indeed, my score dropped to 0 in the first month of school, and now it's only 50. Starting from the second month, I've had to rely on free meals.

For the students in this class, things like advancing to a higher grade are definitely not as important as having enough money for food.

This did indeed give the students in Class D a chance to have a full meal.

"So, you're going to go find Ryuuen next, right?"

Katsuragi said.

"Yes, I'm going to find Ryuuen. I'm going to compare prices from several suppliers. Of course, I want Ryuuen to beg me to sell them supplies."

"That's what Sudo said."

"However, Class B will also have to go. Although Class C can come up with the money right away, Class B should be able to afford it too."

In other words, Sudo had a rare moment of inspiration.

Since everyone is a freshman, they don't get many points. They mainly get their living expenses from the school. Class A and Class C transferred 1.2 million points to Nakano Yuu. With other expenses, their funds are not very abundant.

However, Class B didn't transfer any points to Nakano, so Class B must still have money left, probably more than Class C.

Therefore, Sudo will definitely go to find Class B.

"Can."

Katsuragi said he could understand Sudo's thoughts.

He also has a solution.

Bringing Ryuuen over would be perfect for planning how to divide up the island's stronghold resources. While he was busy, Ryuuen was also recording the Matoba on the island, so Ryuuen might also have intelligence on a few strongholds. It would be troublesome if both sides ran into each other at the same time.

Meanwhile, due to Sudo's arrival, Class A has not yet appointed a leader or made a leader card.

Who knows, Ryuuen might have gotten a good deal.

Therefore, bringing Ryuuen over now will prevent him from taking advantage of his busy schedule to seize the Ryuuen that Katsuragi knows about and has marked.

And.

Katsuragi stood with his back to Sudo, his hands behind his back, and secretly took out a small notebook and pen, writing a few words.

[Yahiko, I'm entrusting this to you, White Tower]

Because he had to be wary of Sudo, he couldn't write much.

Katsuragi felt that his younger brother Yahiko wasn't the smartest person, but he was definitely someone who understood him.

He only mentioned seeing the White Tower to Yahiko. Therefore, Yahiko should have been able to understand what he meant.

This is so that while Yahiko is with Sudo looking for Ryuuen in Class C, Yahiko can find the homeroom teacher to make a leader card, and then go to the White Tower area to clear out the White Tower base first.

Once he controls the White Tower, he can discover more strongholds. Even if he has to share resources with Ryuuen, he will still get the most.

He is a cautious person, so he does cautious things.

Thus, he quickly followed Sudo to Class C's area to disrupt Ryuuen. At the very least, he couldn't allow Ryuuen to select a leader and then seize the point while he was busy.

"Katsuragi, you bastard..."

As for Class C, Ryuuen was indeed being interfered with by Katsuragi.

He had already asked the homeroom teacher, Sakagami, to make a leader card, and the leader card was in his hands. Yes, he had chosen himself to be the leader of Class C.

He only trusts himself.

The reason for this speed is to get ahead of others. The exam rules are consistent with the intelligence he bought; by obtaining information about the strongholds in advance, he can truly gain benefits.

However, Katsuragi and he monopolized the cameras and telescopes, so Katsuragi also knew some information about the outposts. But the resources of a small island are limited, so the number of outposts is also limited.

On the ship, using his own binoculars and camera, and with the help of his students, he located approximately 11 locations.

However, Ryuuen believes that Katsuragi should also know some information.

So what he had to do, and what he could do, was to be fast, fast, fast, and one step ahead of Katsuragi.

So after being informed of the exam rules, he quickly selected a team leader and obtained the team leader card. Now, all he had to do was go and capture the points.

As it turned out, Katsuragi actually brought Sudo with him.

How can he farm outposts like that? If he tries to farm outposts, he'll be exposed immediately.

After all.

The rulebook states that "[the team leader cannot be changed without a valid reason]", meaning that once a team leader is chosen, they cannot be easily changed.

Once the team leader's identity is exposed, not only will their base score be reduced by 50 points during the team leader guessing segment at the end of the exam, but the bonus points they can get for occupying a stronghold will also be reset to zero.

Therefore, one must not reveal their identity as a team leader.

The news Sudo brought was even more disgusting.

Class D was actually planning to sell supplies at a high price, but they still wanted to compare prices from different vendors before selling.

This plan is indeed quite good. In this exam, every class has a base score of 300 points, which looks very good. If the points can be saved and not spent or deducted, they can be incorporated into the evaluation score.

It looks very tempting.

But.

There are just too many points that need to be deducted from this account.

Points are deducted for withdrawing due to illness, for missing daily roll call, and even for polluting the environment by urinating or defecating indiscriminately. Then, points are deducted for correctly guessing the team leader, and even more points are deducted for guessing the leader of another class incorrectly.

Deductions, deductions, deductions—all points are being deducted!

Therefore, he felt that a basic score was not secure.

But 300 points is a lot, it's too tempting. So he was thinking about how to make these points have a more practical meaning.

For example... even though the points are lost, can the remaining points be retained?

So he came up with the plan of the "0-point challenge".

In other words, he was willing to provide supplies to Class A, but Class A had to pay him a large sum of points. As for the ratio, it was simple: he would sell 300 points to Katsuragi and then have Class A pay Class C the corresponding living expenses until graduation.

This way, passing this exam will allow students to directly achieve financial freedom within the class.

In short, the most correct, reliable, and cost-effective approach is to directly obtain the points.

Not only that.

Even if you get zero out of the basic 300 points, it doesn't mean the exam is over; you can continue.

Because there's also a segment where you guess the team leader and capture strongholds to earn points, this exam is practically a godsend.

But the moment that thought crossed my mind, it was damn well stopped.

Nakano Yuu from Class D is indeed his lifelong rival!

They've actually sent students from Class D! This guy wants to make money off these base points!

So.

Since they share the same idea, is it necessary to tell Katsuragi that they can provide Katsuragi with supplies? After all, the two classes did manage to buy out the goods together on the ship. They can be considered temporary allies for now.

But it's impossible now.

Because you have to compare prices from different vendors, if only one person is selling something, it's a rare commodity and can be sold at a high price. But if two classes are selling the same thing, it's hard to get a good price.

If Class D is cheaper, then Katsuragi will definitely choose Class D.

"Now Class D is preparing to sell supplies to Classes A, B, and C."

Ryuuen said.

So Nakano Yuu is truly his nemesis!

He can choose not to go, but if he doesn't go, and Class A or Class B manages to buy the supplies, then Class A or Class B will save basic points.

And that damn Nakano Yuu must have planned to sell all the base points, leaving none for his own class, so maybe both Class A Class B can buy enough supplies for a week's living expenses.
