The Last Day of the Exam

He doesn't have any moral fastidiousness; it's impossible for him not to use the cheating devices he pulls out.

To prevent that little brat from going crazy, Conan's signature glasses have been put on, and the thermal imaging function has been activated.

Karuizawa looked surprised. "Eh?! Aoyama, when did you start wearing glasses? You shouldn't be nearsighted, right?"

"This is not an important question."

After making up an excuse, Karuizawa continued leading her on her way, Aoyama soon reunited with Horikita and the others.

He also chose to evade the same question Shiranami and Horikita.

Without much small talk, the group of five, with Kanzaki leading the way and Aoyama bringing up the rear, headed straight for the makeshift medical room set up at the dock.

As the drizzle continued, the group's pace slowed considerably after crossing the flat road and entering the wooded path.

The soil was so wet that you had to stand firmly on it before you could move again.

"It's still quite a distance to the dock, let me carry you, Chihiro."

Seeing Shiranami, who was walking in front of him, stumble, Aoyama stepped forward and supported her around the waist. The violently shaking lights also made the three people in front of him stop.

Shiranami was the weakest of the five, and it was normal for him to be physically exhausted due to the fatigue accumulated from not sleeping for a long time.

After gathering around and understanding the problem, Kanzaki calmly said, "Shiranami is my classmate, I'll take the voice."

"But Chihiro and I are close friends who share Naoko."

Bending down, Aoyama pinched Shiranami's still-frightened face, instantly bringing a touch of rosy blush to her deathly pale cheeks.

"Who shares a Naoko with you? And don't call me 'Xiao Fanbo'."

"Does that mean Ichinose is more important to you than me? I'm so sad." Aoyama ruffled Shiranami's hair through his raincoat. "Alright, choose between being carried in my princess carry or being carried on my back."

"Carry it! Just carry it."

Seeing that Aoyama squatted down as if he really wanted to give her a princess carry, Shiranami blushed and stomped her feet. Then she hesitated for a moment behind Aoyama before slowly wrapping her arms around his neck and pressing her body completely against his back.

Seeing that Shiranami did not resist, Kanzaki did not say much and resumed leading the way, slowing down his pace.

"Takeoff!"

Handing the flashlight to Shiranami, Aoyama supported the girl's thighs with both hands, lifting her up to stand up abruptly.

Burying her head on Aoyama's shoulder, Shiranami pouted, "Don't treat me like a child."

It's even wider than Dad's, and Aoyama has such a big frame! Are all tall people this big?

The first time Shiranami lay on the back of a boy who wasn't a relative, but a boy his own age, his desire to sleep vanished instantly, and he began to daydream.

My back was hard but warm, as were the hands supporting my thighs.

Speaking of my little steamed bun, is it completely pressing against his back? He probably can't feel it through several layers of clothing, right?

But if I don't feel anything at all, won't I be even more likely to be seen as a child? Waaah!

"Don't stop, come here for a Suzune."

As they approached the beach, Aoyama called Horikita to his side and asked Shiranami to hand over the task of lighting the way to her.

He then shifted to a position where he was supporting Shiranami's legs with one hand, took out a tranquilizer dart from his System Inventory, and quietly held it in his hand.

He had already tested this on himself as a guinea pig when he had free time at school; it was more than enough to make someone fall asleep for thirty minutes.

"Go to sleep, Shiranami."

With a slight smile, Aoyama pressed down hard on Shiranami's thigh with his left hand, and while she was distracted, he injected the anesthetic needle into the back of her hand.

Before she could even be surprised, Shiranami fell into a deep sleep, and the hands that were wrapped around Aoyama's neck became weak.

Seeing the lights of the dock, Kanzaki stopped at the edge of the woods. "We're here. What do we do now?"

"Suzune and Karuizawa, you stay here. We'll go ahead." Looking around and finding no one spying, Aoyama took off his glasses and handed them to Karuizawa. "Keep these safe and don't touch them."

"Okay, I understand."

Karuizawa placed the glasses in her pocket after receiving them with both hands, while Horikita Suzune, who witnessed this scene, quietly frowned.

Why not let her keep it? Is it because we don't trust her?

Kanzaki shone a flashlight on Shiranami's sleeping face. "No need for any preparation? You can pass the check just by sleeping?"

"It's done. Shiranami can't be woken up for now."

Aoyama adjusted his position and picked Shiranami up in a princess carry. He casually pinched her cheeks and even lifted her eyelids, but Shiranami didn't react at all.

Her adorable face, with its peaceful sleeping expression, resembled that of a newborn baby.

"When? How did he do that?" Kanzaki was very puzzled. No one would believe that Shiranami had fainted due to illness.

"Naoko."

Embracing the Shiranami, Aoyama walked out of the edge of the forest. Seeing this, Kanzaki could only suppress his doubts and provide him with light.

Within minutes, the three arrived at the entrance of the makeshift infirmary, where a tall, thin staff member on duty quickly noticed their arrival.

What's wrong with this student?

Aoyama was instructed to place Shiranami on the hospital bed for the doctor to examine him, and the unknown teacher began to ask questions.

"Perhaps she was too tired and collapsed. We couldn't wake her up no matter what we did, so we had to ask the teacher for help." While answering, Aoyama took out Key Card with her name on it from Shiranami, who was lying down.

The tall, thin teacher's expression immediately turned serious, and his gaze shifted to the doctor. "Mr. Nakamura, please examine the student carefully to confirm whether he is faking his unconsciousness."

Since they are students with Key Card, they receive different treatment than regular students.

If he was just pretending to be unconscious, then he would have no choice but to send him away.

"Shiranami Chihiro's health condition prevents her from continuing the exam. The leader of Class B needs to be replaced. Who is next?"

After a thorough examination, Dr. Nakamura confirmed that Shiranami was truly unconscious after shining a small flashlight directly into her eyes and receiving no response.

After receiving a definite answer, the tall, thin teacher looked directly at Aoyama and Kanzaki.

Because the three of them came together, he arbitrarily classified them all as students in the same class.

Kanzaki stepped forward. "I am Kanzaki Ryuji from Class 1-B."

"The production of the new Key Card will take some time, Kanzaki, you'll have to wait a while."

After saying that, the tall, thin teacher started contacting other staff members via walkie-talkie and returned to his seat on duty.

"Just go back after you get the Key Card. Shiranami will wake up in about half an hour."

To give a straightforward reminder to the doctor named Nakamura, Aoyama walked into the rain again.

Chapter 107 The Last Day of the Exam

"So, is it feasible?"

Seeing that only Aoyama had returned, Horikita quickly asked a question, as she was understandably nervous about the serious matter.

If the exam leader cannot be changed, then Class D will only end up with a zero score.

Knowing Horikita was in a hurry, Aoyama didn't procrastinate. "Kanzaki is waiting for the new Key Card to be completed."

"That's good, go ahead and do it." Horikita closed his eyes, raised his hand slightly, and stood still.

After Shiranami fell into a deep sleep without anyone noticing, she guessed that Aoyama probably didn't want anyone to see what methods he had used.

"It'll be over soon."

Amused, Aoyama glanced at Karuizawa, who had quietly turned his back, Aoyama made Horikita suffer the same treatment as Shiranami.

As soon as the drug took effect, her shapely body went limp and she collapsed into his arms.

The furrowed brows on her ridiculously cute face were gone, and her previously tense expression had transformed into one of tranquility and peace.

"May I turn around now?" Karuizawa after the noise behind him had completely disappeared.

"That's enough."

After tidying up Horikita's disheveled hair, Aoyama lifted her up and nestled her sleeping face against his chest.

Then, under the lights of Karuizawa, he walked step by step toward the makeshift medical room.

"Again? Young people really know how to have fun."

When Aoyama and Karuizawa appeared at the door, the tall, thin teacher on duty couldn't hold back any longer; his serious expression seemed to contain a hint of helplessness.

This time, unlike the first time, he didn't rush to call for doctors or nurses to check on him.

Aoyama smiled. "This is the last one, teacher."

"That would be best."

As he spoke, the tall, thin teacher led Aoyama to Dr. Nakamura and had the equally helpless Dr. Nakamura immediately examine Horikita.

After going through the same process, the tall, thin teacher went to notify other school staff to make new Key Card for Karuizawa.

"You can't use that kind of thing carelessly," Nakamura, a middle-aged Nakamura, earnestly advised, pulling Aoyama aside.

He didn't know how a student from Aoyama could get his hands on that kind of thing.

But since there were no testing instruments available, he didn't want to add to his workload. Besides, the fact that Aoyama said the person would wake up in about half an hour meant the dosage wasn't high.

Aoyama nodded and shrugged. "I don't know what Mr. Nakamura is talking about, but it's all gone."

It wasn't surprising that Dr. Nakamura could figure out what was causing this level of sleep that was impossible to wake up. To put his mind at ease, Aoyama didn't mind telling a little lie.

"The students nowadays..."

After giving the glib-tongued Aoyama a few more lectures, Dr. Nakamura returned to Shiranami and Horikita's side to wait.

After waiting for a while, the Key Card with Karuizawa's name on it was ready.

When the two stepped outside, the continuous drizzle finally stopped, and the bright moonlight shone again on the Uninhabited Island.

Karuizawa looked up at the night sky. "The Tsukimi Festival is almost here."

"I'd like to invite you to enjoy the moon together then."

"Real?"

"Really." Aoyama answered casually, putting on the glasses he had taken back from Karuizawa.

Moon gazing during the Mid-Autumn Festival is a long-standing tradition, and it's good to have more people and make it more lively. He's not only inviting Karuizawa, but also other people.

On his way back, he still didn't notice anyone hiding in the shadows spying on him, as if Sakayanagi had already given up.

"Go to bed early tonight. Onodera and Kushida will take you to check out the places shortly after dawn tomorrow."

After they finished washing up, Aoyama declined Karuizawa's invitation to chat.

Although tomorrow is the last half-day of the exam, once Class D occupies the Base, the other classes won't have another chance to occupy it.

However, it's hard to guarantee that Class A and Class C won't send people to check and find out if Class D has clocked in, especially Class C.

"Your task is very important; try your best to keep up with Onodera." Aoyama took out a bottle of energy-boosting potion. "Take this with you tomorrow; drink it whenever you feel tired to replenish your energy."

He did not underestimate Shiina's vigilance and planned to create the illusion that Horikita was still around.

Therefore, the check-in time at the Base tomorrow should be similar to that of Horikita before, and this requires Karuizawa's efforts.

"I understand, I will work hard."

Aoyama rubbed Karuizawa's head as he looked up at him. "I'm counting on you. Goodnight."

Aoyama, Aoyama.

A smile appeared on her face as the girl returned to her bed and closed her eyes.

After packing his luggage, Aoyama also went to bed to rest.

The night passed in silence.

The morning of the seventh day of the exam.

As usual, Kaneda woke up according to the schedule of the Class B students.

After washing up, he found himself with nothing to do.

Apart from Class A, which was well-stocked with supplies, neither Class B nor Class C planned to make breakfast today. Therefore, he didn't need to help make breakfast for all the students in Class B as he had done a few days ago.

Are we still staying in the tent like yesterday?
