Then there's nothing for Class C to do. Class D doesn't care about this exam, but only Class C has to use their own class's base points to buy supplies.

Under such circumstances, without access to Private Points, even climbing the ranks would be extremely difficult for him.

"Then let's go find Class B, and it would be best Ichinose refused."

Ryuuen Road.

That class is incredibly stingy.

His plan to rush Katsuragi to take over the stronghold and then sell the supplies failed, leaving only one option.

Katsuragi understood what he meant.

This means that they will suppress Class B, and the two classes will continue to work together to divide up Class D's resources.

This way, neither class will have to spend the 300 base points.

Although it might seem like they were pulling Ryuuen's coattails, it also prevented Class B from catching up.

As the class representative of Class A, Katsuragi couldn't resist the temptation.

"Can."

Katsuragi said.

"We can compile information about the outposts and then claim 64 points."

"The condition is that 60% of the base locations must be in my class."

"No."

Ryuuen immediately spoke.

"At least 55 points. I have intelligence on 16 outposts."

"Heh, you think there are 16 strongholds?"

Katsuragi laughed.

Ryuuen, of course, didn't know exactly how many outposts there were. What he observed from the ship, and what Shiina and Kaneda analyzed, were all places along rivers, flat areas, and...

These places are all suitable for camping.

Under the current exam rules, the "base" should include these locations.

They concluded that there should be at least a dozen, but they actually found around 11-12.

"We'll talk about it later. Let's go and get the supplies for Class D first."

Katsuragi, however, did not dwell on it further, and Ryuuen nodded.

The two classes joined forces to buy out all the intelligence in order to suppress Class B. Now that they can also control all of Class D' s supplies, Class B will basically have nothing to do in this exam.

So let's team up with one class first and then wipe out that class.

Then, all he needs to do is eliminate Class A.

Thus, the three of them headed together to Class B's area.

"..."

Sudo.??

Hateful.

Sudo watched their conversation. He had originally intended to ridicule Ryuuen, but after explaining his purpose, he found himself completely unable to join in Katsuragi and Ryuuen's conversation.

But throwing a tantrum would make him seem foolish.

So he had no choice but to endure it for now.

So the three of them set out and found Class B's area together.

The students of Class B also arrived at the beach area by small boat. However, to their surprise, there were only about ten students on the beach when they arrived, and the basic supplies allocated to Class B were also placed there.

How did you all end up together?

Among the students on the beach was Ichinose Honami.

Ichinose noticed them and immediately came over with her classmates.

"What's going on in your class?"

However, Katsuragi said...

Only a dozen or so students remained.

"Oh."

But Ichinose spoke with a heavy tone.

"We just learned the exam rules, and we also found out what your class was looking at on the ship."

"Right now, all we can do is try our best to get the students onto the island and search for information about the base."

"However, for safety reasons, we've arranged for groups of seven."

"Ichinose said."

Is that so?

That's really tragic.

Katsuragi and Ryuuen exchanged a glance. It could be said that Ichinose was quite clever. She knew that Classes A and C had information about the base, while Class B was lacking in this area. So, they could only make up for it by working hard and personally going to investigate and obtain information.

But.

The distance between one outpost and another takes at least ten to twenty minutes. This is assuming you know the outposts; simply exploring them will only take even longer.

The beach where Ichinose were docked was 30 minutes away from the nearest Ichinose, so they were probably wasting their time and would likely only find one or two outposts.

But.

"Then let's go over and talk."

Katsuragi said.

"Class D is selling supplies. They're asking Class B to come too."

While Class B is currently conducting reconnaissance of the base, this also shows that they are diligently preparing for the exam, unlike those who took shortcuts.

"About selling supplies...?"

Ichinose seemed completely unprepared for this turn of events.

"Can supplies still be sold?"

Noticing her expression, Katsuragi and Ryuuen both knew that things were settled.

Class B is very honest; they not only don't take shortcuts, but they also take the exam seriously.

Chapter 71 I won't take a single penny? No, I've already succeeded!

So, about fifteen minutes later, things changed on the beach where Class D was located.

While waiting for Sudo to inform the other classes, the students in Class D simply set up their tents. However, perhaps due to a lack of skill, they failed halfway through carrying and dismantling the tents.

After all, it was only a dozen minutes, and most of the students didn't have much camping experience.

"Actually, I still think you should listen to me, and this beach is too soft for us to camp on."

Some people have camping experience, such as Kanji Ike.

However, not many people in the class listened to Kanji Ike, so when he said that, they were even less willing to listen.

After all, setting up a tent is a novel activity for many people, so they want to learn how to do it themselves.

"By the way, Nakano-kun, do you have any camping experience?"

At this moment, Matsushita, from the Karuizawa camp, suddenly asked a question.

Oh.

Does this mean they're paying attention to Nakano Yuu?

Or perhaps it was discovered that after Chabashira-sensei explained the exam rules, he actually arranged for Sudo to contact students in other classes.

While Matsushita may appear to be just an ordinary gyaru (a type of female stunner), she actually possesses hidden strength in the original story, claiming she can go toe-to-toe with the original male protagonist. Of course, she likely underestimated the protagonist's strength and overestimated her own.

However, Matsushita was considered a student in Class D who had good insight and talent.

Now, she took the initiative to ask him.

Does this mean he's interested in Nakano-kun?

"Just bear with it."

Nakano Yuu said.

"If we're lucky, our class might be able to get straight back to the ship. So there's absolutely no need to worry about tents or anything like that."

Is this for real?

The students around him looked at him strangely.

He probably meant that after selling all the basic points, our class would have no points left to deduct.

"So even if we stay on the island, it's still a zero, and if we go back to the ship, it's still a zero."

At this moment, Horikita Suzune said this.

"So he thought he could go straight back to the ship."

"Huh?"

The other students were taken aback, including Kushida, who quickly asked Amasawa in his mind.

[Horikita Manabu is right, there were many points deducted in this exam, but one rule is that you won't become a negative score after losing all 300 base points.]

[Therefore, it's also possible for Nakano-senpai to sell all 300 base points and go for a 0-point run.]

[Since I got a zero, giving up the exam and returning to the ship is also a viable solution.]

"I don't think that will work."

However, at that moment, a voice came.

"You'd better stay on the island."

The voice was somewhat arrogant, but the students in Class D were familiar with it, because it belonged to Ryuuen from Class C, the notorious troublemaker.

Among the students in Class D, there were some from the same area as Ryuuen, so Ryuuen didn't need to spread the word; the average student in Class D already knew that Ryuuen was annoying.

"Ryuen, your request is rather..."

Hirata immediately came to greet him.

"Get out of my way, you're not in charge now."

However, Ryuuen spoke coldly and ruthlessly.

"What did you say?!"

Hirata remained silent, but Kanji Ike, who had been ignored by the other students, immediately spoke up, also feeling that Ryuuen had gone too far.

Although Sudo had said before that Ryuuen was annoying, he didn't expect her to be this annoying.

"Roll!"

However, Ryuuen gave him a cold look.

"Forehead."

So, Chi shrank behind the student next to him.

"..."×N.

The surrounding students watched this scene speechlessly, instantly feeling that Chi was a coward.

Yamauchi Yamauchi Ike, who had just been hiding behind him. But Yamanouchi didn't say anything.

Because who knows if this Ryuuen will resort to violence? He doesn't want to get beaten up for nothing.

So hurry up and sell your points so that Ryuuen can leave.
