Class A's Decisive Victory

The school chose this location for the first Special Exam, and besides teamwork, intelligence gathering and adaptability to the wilderness were likely also part of the assessment.

"Good morning, Classmate Hashiba." After washing up, Ichinose Honami climbed up the hillside and walked to the boy's side.

"Good morning, Ichinose."

"In a moment, Hoshinomiya-sensei will bring out the form for filling in the leader's name. Nanfang said you can fill it out."

"Can."

After nodding, Hashiba Hikaru Hashima asked, "Where is that Yamashita -kun?"

As an undercover agent sent by Class D, Yamashita Saki had no worries about food and drink after arriving here, and could even enjoy free deworming medicine and herbs, but she couldn't find a single opportunity to find out information about the leader.

One reason is that after everyone started carrying out the plan arranged by Hashiba Hikaru, they completely forgot about the base and the Key Card and never talked about them.

On the other hand, Minami Kozue, as the leader, is very reliable. Like her classmates, she does everything normally, whether it's collecting supplies or gathering intelligence, without showing any abnormality.

Therefore, Yamashita Saki couldn't find any flaws, and because she couldn't gather any information, she didn't go to meet up with Ryuen Kakeru and Ibuki Mio, as if she had completely lost contact with them.

"Yamashita -kun has been very quiet, hardly doing anything special, and he has never left the campsite on his own."

After learning that the other party was an undercover agent from Class D, Ichinose Honami naturally couldn't just sit idly by.

She arranged for her close friends Ando Sayo and Shiranami Chihiro, to keep an eye on her movements. Since they were both girls, they could rest next to her in the tent to prevent any unusual activity from Yamashita Saki.

"After all, we don't reveal any information about the leader, so she can't do anything about it."

Hashiba Hikaru smiled slightly. If Ryuen Kakeru and Ibuki Mio's infiltration plan succeeded, they could only obtain the names of the leaders of two classes at most.

Although it can cause other classes to lose points and create a score difference, it is still quite difficult to get first place. After all, Class A has used very few points so far, and in addition, the names of the leaders of the three classes will be guessed, so there is no need to care about their results.

After the last roll call of the morning, the students began preparing their final breakfast. Since there was no longer any need to conserve resources, the breakfast was quite plentiful.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Chie Hoshinomiya came to Hashiba Hikaru.

Although the final step in this activity involves guessing the names of leaders from other classes, it doesn't mean that only leaders have this qualification; other students can also write down their names.

"Classmate Hashiba, please fill this out. I have high hopes for you!"

Although Chie Hoshinomiya didn't offer any help to anyone during the week other than explaining the rules, she had actually been quietly observing her classmates.

It must be said that Hashiba Hikaru and Ichinose Honami, whom she had chosen in her heart, still performed brilliantly in this exam. This is the butterfly effect brought about by quickly integrating the class after the start of the school year. No matter what plan is promoted, there will be no resistance, and the information gathering can be completed smoothly.

"OK."

Hashiba Hikaru took the paper in her hand, picked up the pen, and began to write her name.

The others in the camp naturally noticed the commotion, as this was the most crucial part of the Uninhabited Island Exam, so everyone was a little nervous.

Just as everyone looked over, Hashiba Hikaru remained calm and wrote down the information she had repeatedly confirmed on the paper with remarkable fluency.

Class B, Totsuka Yahiko.

Class C, Horikita Suzune.

Class D, Ibuki Mio.

After finishing writing, the boy handed the paper to Chie Hoshinomiya, the young teacher who glanced at it and then began to give instructions to everyone.

"Everyone can start packing up their belongings in the camp now. Whether it's unused supplies or basic items that have been distributed, everything must be packed up and taken to the beach. And don't leave any trash here, otherwise you'll get points deducted, understand?"

"Clear!"

Looking at the time, there was only about an hour left before the 12 o'clock meeting time, so Hashiba Hikaru immediately joined the students in cleaning and tidying up.

After everything at the campsite was set up, the students in Class A lined up and headed towards the beach. After seven days of exams, everyone had relaxed smiles on their way back.

In any case, we've successfully survived this Special Exam; all that's left is to wait for the results to be announced.

The other classes were the same. When the students of Class A returned to the beach, they saw the students from other classes starting to assemble. The spot originally assigned to Class D was still empty, with only their homeroom teacher, Sakagami Kazuma, standing at the front.

"Hey, why is the teacher from Class D still standing here? Didn't their class give up on the exam?"

"Yeah, I saw those people from Class D return to the Cruise Ship a while ago. I guess it was just a formality."

Is it really just a formality?

Just as everyone was gathering, something unexpected happened. Yamashita Saki, who had been with her classmates from Class A, glanced at them and then strode out, her target naturally the area belonging to Class D.

"Hey, what's going on?"

"Is this student from Class D? Why is he in the Class A line?"

Immediately afterwards, Manabe Shiho, who had been with the students of Class C, also stepped out of the line and returned to her position in Class D. After glancing at Sakagami Kazuma standing in front of her, they quietly stood in the open space behind him.

"What's going on?"

"Manabe... he's actually an undercover agent?!"

Since Hashiba Hikaru had already passed on this information, the students in Class A were not very surprised by the situation. What was surprising were the students in Class C who were kept in the dark.

"Hey, so Manabe was an undercover agent! Yamauchi, you really misjudged him!"

"How is this possible... It's not like that at all!"

Yamauchi Haruki's expression turned quite unpleasant as he reflected on his behavior over the past few days.

As for Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, he remained expressionless. After gathering information on the leaders of Class B and Class C, he told Hirata about it and then asked him to pass it on to Horikita Suzune to fill in the names.

To prevent information leaks, Ayanokoji instructed Hirata not to tell too many people, so currently, no more than three people in Class C know about this situation.

Just as everyone was surprised, two figures slowly emerged from the forest, one in front of the other.

"Oh, everyone's here. Looks like we're not late."

Ryuen Kakeru smiled and looked at everyone. Although the plan had encountered some minor setbacks, he firmly believed that the final victory would belong to him.

Chapter 170 Class A's Great Victory

After the students from each class had lined up on the beach in order, the sudden appearance of Ryuen Kakeru and Ibuki Mio surprised many students.

The news that Class D had given up the exam had already spread to the remaining three classes. In addition, everyone could see the Class D students who had returned to the Cruise Ship, so it was reasonable to assume that they had given up the exam.

However, the appearance of Ryuen Kakeru and Ibuki Mio, along with two girls from Class A and Class C, directly announced a different outcome: even after the exam points were reset to zero, they had not completely failed.

The only chance to turn things around is in the final guessing game of the class leader's name.

After Ryuen Kakeru and Ibuki returned to their positions in Class D' s homeroom teacher Sakagami Kazuma, glanced at them.

Although I had seen them before when filling out the leaders' names, I have to say that the two of them looked really disheveled. Life on Uninhabited Island is quite difficult. Ibuki, who had taken a bath once, was in a better state, just looking tired. But Ryuen, who hadn't taken care of himself at all, was truly destitute.

At this moment, the long-haired man's clothes were quite dirty, and he had a stubble beard. He exuded an unpleasant odor, but his eyes still gleamed with a desire for victory.

Sakagami- sensei gained a deeper understanding of Ryuen's personality. Although he was not yet the class leader, his willingness to pay such a price in pursuit of victory was a remarkable level of resolve.

Ibuki, standing nearby, did the same. Despite being a woman, she did just that, proving to Sakagami Kazuma her leadership qualities as a class leader, whatever her reasons.

Can these two lead the class to success?

Sakagami Kazuma suppressed this thought and waited for the next result to be announced.

Although Ryuen's appearance caused quite a stir in each class, everyone immediately quieted down when Chie Hoshinomiya walked up to them with the microphone.

The results of the first Special Exam were about to be announced, and everyone stared at the young female teacher standing at the front, eager to know what scores their class had achieved.

"Good afternoon, first-year students. It is now noon on August 7th. I hereby declare the first Special Exam over."

Chie Hoshinomiya held the microphone, her expression quite serious.

"A week has come to an end. Congratulations to everyone for successfully passing this Special Exam. During this time, our faculty and staff have witnessed all sorts of ways people deal with exams. Regardless of the results, everyone has worked hard."

"Now, I will announce the results of this Special Exam."

The young female teacher's gaze swept over the students lined up on the beach, and she uttered a rather forceful declaration.

"After the results are announced, we will not accept any inquiries or questions regarding the exam results. These results have been carefully reviewed and calculated, so I hope that after accepting the results, you can reflect on the changes in your scores yourself, which is also a very important part."

After this announcement, many people in Class C, which was next to Class D, didn't look too good. After witnessing Ryuen and Ibuki Mio return from the forest, they all realized that Manabe Shiho was the undercover agent.

Because she's an undercover agent, the three daily checkpoint swipes by Class C could potentially be seen by the enemy. Did she obtain any information about the leader?

If that were the case, wouldn't Class D really be able to overtake them?

Why are you looking at me like that?

After feeling the gazes of several students from Class C, Ryuen Kakeru sneered at them, "You'll understand how foolish your actions were once the results are in!"

"Ryuen, I think I understand what you mean." Hirata, as the class leader, looked at the other person's face and said, trying to appear calm, "Are you saying that you've already written down the names of our class leaders?"

"Of course, the results have already been taken back, so there's no point in denying it now."

"But that doesn't guarantee your scores will be higher than ours, does it?" Hirata Yosuke said seriously. "Our class still has a lot of exam points left, while so many of you returned to the Cruise Ship; your Special Exam points should have been reset to zero."

"So you're really naive. Do you think we only got the title of class leader?"

Ryuen Kakeru smiled dismissively. He ignored Hirata and instead turned his attention to the Class A team standing on the far left.

Although it was a bit of a pity that he didn't get the name of the class leader of Class A in the end, his goal for this exam was not to get first place. As long as he could improve the class ranking, he would be qualified to strive for the class leader position.

Ryuen felt that many of his plans were not going smoothly because he did not have complete control over the class, so he wanted to eliminate this problem and completely gain control of Class D.

"This guy..."

Several boys in Class C were somewhat unhappy. After all, they had all agreed to take Manabe to Class C's camp, and it would be terrible if the information were leaked.

"Now, the first class to be announced is the one that came in last place in this Special Exam," Chie Hoshinomiya's gaze fell on Sakagami Kazuma calm. "Class D, 0 points!"

"!"

"What?"

Why was it zero?

Upon hearing this, Ibuki's expression changed abruptly, while Manabe Shiho and Yamashita Saki beside her also showed expressions of utter surprise. They exchanged glances, completely bewildered as to why this was the case.

As for Ryuen Kakeru, his face immediately darkened, and his previously smug expression vanished instantly.

Seeing their expressions, just as the boys in Class C were about to say something sarcastic, Chie Hoshinomiya's voice continued without pause.

"Next is the third-ranked class, Class B, with 120 points."

"Then the second-ranked class, Class C, got 125 points."

After this information was released, the classrooms became noisy.

Then Chie Hoshinomiya revealed the final result.

"As for the first place in this exam, it belongs to Class A, with a score of... 390 points."

After explaining all the scores and rankings, the young female teacher continued, "The results are now announced. Please prepare to line up to return to the Cruise Ship."

"Ah?"

"There are so many? That's wonderful!"

"That's amazing! Now we've really widened the gap between us and Class B."

After hearing the results announced, everyone in Class A beamed with joy. They all knew that with Hashiba Hikaru's help, the points needed to exchange for supplies were very few, only about 60 points, but they never expected to get so many points.

After hearing the answer, Ichinose Honami silently pondered in her heart.

If you guess the names of the leaders of three classes correctly, that's 150 points. Then, adding the 60 points deducted for resource consumption, the remaining exam-specific points are 240.

So it seems the operation to conceal the leader's information was very successful.

Meanwhile, in Class B, many students who did not belong to the Katsuragi Faction began to shout loudly.

"Hey, Katsuragi, what's going on?"

"We all agreed to sign a contract with Class D, so how are you going to explain this now?"

With a somber expression, Katsuragi Kohei ignored everyone's questions and instead turned his gaze to Class A standing to the side, where many possibilities began to surface in his mind.

As for the remaining Class C students, many were not quite clear about what had happened, but since they hadn't come in last in points and Class D had gotten zero points, their current rankings were still very stable, so they quickly lined up and headed towards the Cruise Ship.

Just as Class A, led by Ichinose Honami, was preparing to return to the Cruise Ship, Hashiba Hikaru glanced at Ryuen Kakeru standing there and smiled.

Actually, after seeing Ryuen Kakeru at the cave entrance that day, he guessed that the other party was willing to lie in wait on the island alone in order to increase his prestige in the class and thus compete with Ibuki Mio for control of the class.

Regardless of any unknown changes that may have occurred behind the scenes, given that their class scored zero points this time, it will likely not be so easy for Ryuen to become the class leader.

However, this undercover incident reminded Hashiba Hikaru that perhaps she should send someone to keep an eye on the true situation of their class, so that she could better deal with it next time.

After keeping these thoughts to himself, the boy was quite satisfied with the exam results.

Class B scored 120 points, while they scored 390 points, creating a difference of 270 points.
