Jealous Horikita, Advancing Sakayanagi

I guessed the exam leaders of classes B and D incorrectly, plus the fact that Class D correctly guessed my exam leader, I lost a total of 200 points. I got 50 points for guessing the leader of Class A correctly, so the total points deducted were exactly 150.

More than how Aoyama replaced the exam leader, Ryuen was more concerned about how the Class C exam leader was discovered.

He takes thorough precautions before each check-in, never finding it troublesome.

Moreover, the only people in the class who knew who was in charge of the exam were those who participated in the check-in process.

"It was Ishizaki who told me, but it was unintentionally." Originally, Aoyama didn't want to pay attention to Ryuen, but Ryuen's despicable Shiina along was exactly what he wanted.

Ryuen stared intently at Aoyama. "Unintentionally?"

"Yes, it happened unintentionally, so you don't need to worry about a traitor appearing in Class C."

Aoyama placed his hand on Shiina's cute little head, rubbing it as he answered Ryuen.

This is not an unreasonable reward for answering questions.

"That doesn't sound convincing at all." Ryuen scoffed before continuing, "How did you manage to make Kaneda mistakenly believe that Shiranami was still at the camp? He swore he heard Shiranami's voice."

"Sell me Shiina and I'll tell you."

Aoyama naturally asked Ichinose and the others to keep his Voice Mimicry to perfectly mimic other people's voices a secret.

Before being fully exposed, he planned to scam people as many times as he could.

"Heh heh, that won't do. Shiina is not for sale in Class C."

"I don't want to sell myself to Aoyama either." Shiina grabbed the large hand that was messing with her head, Shiina fair face flushing red.

Sell it to him? Does that mean Aoyama wants her?

Generally, no one wants to buy something they don't like.

Aoyama playfully withdrew his hand. "Then when Shiina wants to sell, you'd better let me know first."

"We won't sell it."

"Heh heh, forcing people to buy or sell is also one of my strengths."

Aoyama let out a strange laugh similar to Ryuen's, which made Ryuen's face stiffen for a moment before turning dark. He then took Shiina away in a completely undignified manner.

Why are you so stingy, Dragon Boy?

While inwardly criticizing Ryuen for being so stingy, Aoyama had no intention of lingering on the beach. He retrieved his phone from the teacher and boarded the boat back to his room.

According to the teacher, the cruise ship will depart in two hours. Students are welcome to board the ship or stay on the beach and play in the water during this time.

The vast majority of students chose to board the ship, as everyone was exhausted after seven days and six nights of camping.

"That feels better."

After taking a warm shower and changing into a clean and comfortable t-shirt and shorts, Aoyama fulfilled the promise he had made to Ichinose.

The first thing I did after resting on the ship was to get a massage at the spa.

"Sorry, for male massage therapists, we only have male masseuses."

"Then forget it."

With a calm expression, Aoyama left without hesitation after hearing what the clerk at the front desk said.

Just as he expected, the school wouldn't go too far by allowing male students to enjoy services they shouldn't be entitled to in advance.

Therefore, Aoyama had no choice but to ask Horikita Suzune.

After a subtle hint that there would be Special Exam before returning to school, Horikita, dressed in a cool-toned, mature-style dress, obediently lured him to his room.

Horikita straightened her hair, which had been ruffled by the sea breeze. "I ran into Chabashira-sensei outside just now. She seemed to be in a bad mood."

"Perhaps it's menopause," Aoyama replied calmly.

Class B won a big victory and was promoted to Class A. He guessed that Chabashira might have been annoyed by his showy roommate Hoshinomiya and had gone out for some fresh air.

As for how Hoshinomiya came to be his roommate, that's none of Aoyama's business.

"Lie down."

"Learn."

She leaped like a fish over the Aoyama and landed in the center of the soft, fluffy bed, turning her back to Horikita.

For transactions that can be completed simply by talking, then of course you should talk as you do it.

Taking off her indoor shoes, Horikita Suzune climbed onto the bed. "Whose room is this? Why were you given this room?"

"Hoshinomiya, I helped Class B get promoted to Class A, she should at least thank me, right?" Resting his chin on the pillow, Aoyama said, "How's Class D doing? I hope no one's complaining."

You don't have to work yourself to the bone on the island for seven days and six nights, and you can still get second place.

Although he pocketed half of the more than six million exam points he sold, the remaining three million was still a considerable sum, just enough to make up for the meager class funds of Class D.

Kneeling, Horikita placed her hand on Aoyama's shoulder. "I should be the one complaining."

Today, the vast majority of students in Class D were very satisfied with the results, but she was not satisfied with the students who were satisfied with the results.

She wanted to see students who were dissatisfied with only getting second place and were motivated to strive for the top spot in Class A. She didn't think Class D could rise to Class A if she was the only one working hard.

"You really should complain, because it doesn't matter whether you prepare or not for the upcoming Special Exam," Aoyama said slowly.

Two days after the Uninhabited Island Special Exam ends, on Saturday, an explanation and commencement of the VIP Special Exam will be held.

This VIP Special Exam is somewhat similar to the game Werewolf; it doesn't test academic ability or any other skills, but rather relies heavily on intellectual competition.

"You won't let me down, will you?" Horikita continued kneading the flesh near Aoyama's shoulder bone without stopping.

"Ten thousand points a month to tutor Karuizawa. Anyway, you don't have to cook for me at night, so you're just killing time."

Feeling that Karuizawa might not be able to study so diligently, Aoyama thought he needed to find her a strict teacher, and Horikita Suzune was the perfect fit.

"If she doesn't study, just slap her hand hard."

Horikita stopped what she was doing. "Where are you going to eat tonight from now on?"

She didn't care much about whether or not Karuizawa was taught to study; all she wanted to know was whether Aoyama had another cook.

She guessed that Aoyama would find an excuse to renew her contract, so why did Aoyama say he wouldn't need her anymore before she even said she wouldn't cook for Aoyama?

Where should I eat?

Aoyama pictured Ichinose in his mind, and unable to refuse her warm invitation by the river, he Ichinose to try her cooking.

"Ichinose said she used to cook a lot, and her skills were pretty good."

Horikita's mouth gaped slightly. "Ichinose?!?"

She also recalled that day on the Uninhabited Island, when she happened to run into Ichinose, and they went together to look for Aoyama.

It was around that time that she told Ichinose that Aoyama would soon stop having dinner with her in her room, and that topic was brought up by Ichinose.

They've created their own trap.

Horikita Suzune suddenly felt that this word suited her very well.

Chapter 112 The Jealous Horikita, the Advancing Sakayanagi

You're so kind to Ichinose.

You're so good to Karuizawa.

As Horikita Suzune's gaze fell upon Aoyama's profile, she felt a surge of irritation rising within her.

She learned from Ichinose that Aoyama hadn't managed to steal any personal points from Class B this time; however, under his manipulation, Class B became the biggest winner of the Uninhabited Island Exam.

She treats Ichinose like her own daughter, but treats me like a stepmother, making me pay the price for everything I do.

Karuizawa, who suddenly appeared recently, also seems to trust me more than I do, judging from her actions last night. Today, she even generously offered me 100,000 personal points for a month to be her tutor.

With a cold expression, Horikita began to press hard on the soft flesh near Aoyama's shoulder bone.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! You hit me too hard!" Aoyama cried out.

The result of Horikita Suzune pressing so hard on such a stressful spot near the bone was waves of considerable pain.

He felt he hadn't said anything wrong, so why did Horikita seem angry?

"It's normal to feel pain."

Aoyama looked up and saw Horikita's indifferent face. "Don't lie through your teeth, lovely Suzune- san."

Isn't he clearly angry?

Horikita usually has a cold expression, but after spending more time with him and getting to know each other better, he could tell that Horikita was currently angry.

Even when she's angry, she's still cute.

Horikita rolled her eyes at him. "Smooth talker."

"I'm just telling the truth."

He sat up abruptly Aoyama carefully listened to Horikita Suzune kneeling before him.

The fitted dress accentuated her slender waist, and her partially exposed calves were encased in black stockings, creating a beautiful and alluring silhouette. Her delicate face, as still as a deep pool when she was serious, held a pair of beautiful, fox-like eyes that were clear and confident.

A beauty as picturesque as a painting.

Horikita slightly turned her head to change the subject, "How do you know that it doesn't matter whether you prepare for the upcoming Special Exam or not?"

She felt a little uncomfortable because Aoyama's gaze seemed quite aggressive, but she didn't feel any dislike.

"The upcoming exams will not test physical or academic ability; they will focus more on reasoning and judgment."

"Here's a little tip: having completely trustworthy allies makes for very clear benefits of cooperation."

Based on the Paper Shuffle Special Exam rules, Aoyama offered some advice.

In the next Special Exam, if the two classes trust and cooperate with each other, they will be able to start in an invincible position.

"Even if you're the Student Council Vice President, this isn't something you should know." Horikita looked at Aoyama suspiciously. From Aoyama's words, she could tell that Aoyama seemed to be completely familiar with the rules.

This is just too outrageous; even an open-book exam wouldn't be this bad.

Aoyama smiled and replied evasively, "I only know what I'm supposed to know."

Again, I play the riddle-maker, the hateful Aoyama Shiki.

But wouldn't it be best to collaborate with another class?

Horikita frowned. "The Class Ichinose is no longer a suitable partner."

The Uninhabited Island Special Exam has ended. While the Class Points have changed for each class, the order of two classes has also changed.

[Class A: 1140]

[Class B: 1323]

[Class C: 1012]

[Class D: 476]

On September 1st, the nameplate for Class Ichinose will be changed to Class 1-A.

Forming an alliance with Class Ichinose, which is essentially Class A, would be a win-win situation but wouldn't really help the class get promoted to Class A, since Class D's Class Points would increase while Class A's Class Points were also rising.

The most suitable partner class for Class D right now is the Katsuragi class, which is essentially Class B.

Aoyama took out his phone and glanced at the text message he received. "I suggest we don't rush to find a class to cooperate with. I'll wait until this matter is settled before deciding whether to target Class A in this exam."

"What's up?"

"Will there be a change in leadership of Class A? If Sakayanagi takes over, I'll have to give her a good beating and let her experience the taste of defeat."

Horikita looked somewhat curious. "You seem to really dislike Sakayanagi?"

There are very few rumors about Class 1-A- year students. The most popular one is that Aoyama Shiki and Sakayanagi Arisu and are in a antagonistic relationship.

As for why the groups were hostile, it wasn't mentioned at all.

"Just think of her as a hidden Koenji, and her personality is even worse Koenji's."

"That's certainly quite annoying," Horikita nodded in agreement.

Even Kushida, who could be friends with Yamauchi, kept his distance from Koenji, which fully demonstrates just how outrageous Koenji was.

And Sakayanagi, who is on an even higher level, is an unknown and terrifying existence.

While Aoyama continued chatting with Horikita...

In a small conference room on the cruise ship, a class meeting of Class A, devoid of any mention of Aoyama, quietly began, thanks to Sakayanagi's initiative.
