The Aftermath of the Uninhabited Island Exam / I Confessed to Aoyama

The first item on the agenda was whether Katsuragi was suitable to continue serving as the leader of Class A.

With a dark expression, Katsuragi stared at Sakayanagi on the podium, his voice unusually agitated, "You're the one who betrayed the leader of Class A's exam, aren't you, Sakayanagi?"

Although he wouldn't dare say he knew Aoyama very well, he was more inclined to believe that Aoyama wasn't lying and that it wasn't Aoyama who betrayed the leaders of Class A's exam.

Now that he's being forced to resign, he doesn't believe Sakayanagi didn't cause trouble.

That's incredibly fast.

"Is Katsuragi trying to shift all the blame onto me? Is he so attached to his position as the leader of Class A?"

With a voice as melodious and elegant as a silver bell, Sakayanagi characterized Katsuragi's accusations as shirking responsibility, and then turned around and accused him of being blinded by power to say such things.

"You spent the most personal points but still came in last place. If you have any shame, Katsuragi, you'd better hand over your position as class leader."

"If it weren't for Aoyama's strong support back then, how could you have become the leader of Class A? Classmate Sakayanagi was only considering the class's interests when she let you sneak into the position."

Before Katsuragi could refute Sakayanagi's words, Matoba Shinji and Machida Koji spoke up loudly, their criticisms directed at Katsuragi.

Totsuka Yahiko stood up, his face flushed. "If there hadn't been a traitor in the class, Katsuragi wouldn't have failed."

"Yes, yes, I also think it wasn't Katsuragi's fault."

Sitting to Katsuragi's right, Hashimoto spoke up without batting an eye, but this empty talk naturally provoked even fiercer criticism from the students of Class A, who were dissatisfied with the defeat.

Amidst the surging crowd, Sakayanagi made a downward pressing gesture with his hand.

To save face for Chairman Sakayanagi's daughter, the students, who were furious about being demoted to Class B, temporarily refrained from criticizing Katsuragi and the others.

A smile played on Sakayanagi's delicate face. "Katsuragi has seen the current situation; nobody wants you to continue as the leader."

"Until you can find evidence to prove the existence of a mole, could you please temporarily step down from your important position as leader of Class A?"

Chapter 113 Aftermath of the Uninhabited Island Exam

"Really? Katsuragi couldn't withstand the pressure and abdicated. That brat Sakayanagi is quite the charmer."

In the comfortable private cabin of the cruise ship, Aoyama played with the cool touch of a timid girl's side ponytail as she sat on his lap.

After the Class A meeting ended with one person missing, Yamamura quickly came to his room and gave a detailed report on what had happened.

Taking advantage of the sense of loss felt by the students in Class A who were about to be demoted to Class B, Sakayanagi incited many students to oppose Katsuragi's continued leadership of Class A. Many of the neutral students also joined in the opposition.

And to make matters worse, Hashimoto said that even if Class A splits up, he would still support Katsuragi as the leader.

Suddenly, apart from Totsuka who managed to speak up and defend himself, the rest of the Katsuragi Faction members fell silent, allowing the Sakayanagi Faction students to attack them.

Faced with the overwhelming trend, Katsuragi had no choice but to stand up from his seat and show that he had no intention of splitting Class A. He then quelled the anger of the other students by stepping down.

Then there's Sakayanagi, the only daughter of the school's Chairman, who was honorably elected to the position.

With a flushed face, Yamamura leaned against Aoyama's chest and asked, "Classmate Sakayanagi is the Chairman's daughter. Won't that have any impact?"

The school's Chairman Sakayanagi, who wielded the highest power, was a figure she could only dream of.

Aoyama smiled. "No problem. Maybe Chairman Sakayanagi is just thinking about having someone help him teach his arrogant daughter a lesson."

Born into a prestigious family and holding a high position, Chairman Sakayanagi is able to be referred to as a former host. Ayanokoji's father, Ayanokoji Atsuomi, was a teacher who also had compassion for homeless orphans.

He has a high opinion of Chairman Sakayanagi and will not be hostile or vilified because of Sakayanagi Arisu's willfulness.

"I think Classmate Sakayanagi is quite kind to everyone."

"I can pretend too. If I said I was a lecherous person right after school started, you wouldn't let me get close to you, would you Miki?"

Lifting the shy face of the Yamamura, Aoyama kissed her fair and tender cheek.

Because she was too shy or for some other reason, Yamamura wanted to call her Miki only when they were alone, a small request that Aoyama readily agreed to.

"If it's all Shiki, it definitely will," the Yamamura replied softly, bowing his head.

Aoyama pointed to his cheek with a hint of mockery, "Then I need Miki to prove it to me."

He's always the one taking the initiative and has no problem with it, but it's a good idea to let the Yamamura take the initiative occasionally.

Yamamura's bright ears flushed red. "Then Shiki... could you close your eyes first?"

It's already closed.

Aoyama answered quickly and closed his eyes for three seconds. When he opened them, Yamamura, as he expected, slowly offered his pink lips with her eyes closed.

Then, Yamamura mustered her courage and slowly moved to kiss the cheek she had imagined.

"Woo"

The short, weak gasp of surprise in the room lasted only a moment before disappearing, followed by increasingly heavy breathing and a sound that left much to the imagination.

After a long while, the sound of heavy breathing filled the air, and the suggestive noise finally disappeared.

Her jade-like Yamamura turned a rosy white as she collapsed limply into the embrace of the Aoyama, her eyes glazed over, revealing a seductive charm never before seen in her.

"You're so cute, Miki!"

Under the wide, deep blue eyes of the Yamamura, Aoyama lowered his head once again.

The suggestive sound rang out again.

"I heard that Class A was given four million personal points, and Class C was given two million three hundred thousand, so why did the class fund only increase by a little over three million?"

"And where did the other three million go? Horikita, did you embezzle it?"

After leaving Aoyama and receiving payment from Ryuen, Horikita immediately held a class meeting for Class D in the conference room.

She offered a half-hearted explanation for why she came in second place, and also mentioned that she would use the more than three million yuan obtained from selling exam points as class funds.

Then, Yamauchi stood up excitedly and glared angrily at Horikita.

This person must be thinking, "Why can't I be the one to embezzle these three million?" Their agitation is excessive.

Is it necessary?

Surrounded by the girls in her group, Karuizawa assumed Yamauchi's thoughts with the utmost malice, and slowly stood up.

Having been instructed by Aoyama to help Horikita, she naturally wouldn't ignore Yamauchi's actions.

"I can explain that. Those three million personal points were used to bribe students from Class A and Class C to betray their classes, and some of them were also used to hire outsiders to help."

"The reason why Class A and Class C, who paid a high price to acquire supplies, could only get third or fourth place is also because of this."

"During the seven days and six nights of exams on the Uninhabited Island, Horikita, who worked so hard, had it much harder than me."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Karuizawa not only gave a reasonable explanation, but also unexpectedly praised Horikita, who had previously been at odds with her and with the other girls in her group.

For a moment, many students in Class D looked at Karuizawa with puzzled expressions.

"If it's about bribing students from Class A and Class C, around 100,000... 200,000 points should be enough." Seeing that it was Karuizawa who spoke, Yamauchi's face turned ugly for a moment, but he continued, stammering and accusing Horikita of wasting money.

"One hundred thousand? Two hundred thousand?" Karuizawa smiled scornfully and arrogantly. "That's only a small amount to bribe you, isn't it? How pathetic. You think you can be bribed with a mere one hundred thousand points? You're quite self-aware."

"Hey, Karuizawa, don't make personal attacks. I wasn't talking about you. Besides, how could 100,000 yen possibly bribe me?"

"Heh, so it's more than 100,000? Looks like I'll have to be careful around you."

"You! You!"

In terms of sharp tongue, Karuizawa, being a girl, was far superior to Yamauchi, quickly making Yamauchi furious.

Soon, seeing the situation escalating, Hirata quickly stood up and humbly pleaded with both sides to stop fighting and to keep quiet in order to maintain peace.

Horikita tapped the table coldly. "Alright, everyone be quiet. According to my intelligence, there might be a Special Exam before we return to school."

"There's Special Exam?! What happened to the summer vacation?" Kanji Ike shouted.

In the conference room, the discussion about the missing three million was quickly replaced by a new Special Exam.

As Horikita had predicted, Yamauchi, who was no longer being paid attention to, muttered to himself that he was giving Hirata face before sitting down, taking out his phone, lowering his head, and pretending that nothing had happened.

"For the next Special Exam, could you please ask Horikita to rely on us a little more? We also want to help the class." After the incident that disrupted the class peace was quelled, Hirata also offered his suggestion.

He felt that Horikita's autocratic approach to the Uninhabited Island Exam was not a good thing.

Hirata, who had done the same thing before, still feels lingering fear about it.

Chapter 114 I Confessed My Love to Aoyama

"Kushida got assigned to Class A for reconnaissance? That's great, there must be a lot of handsome guys in Class A."

On stage, Horikita spoke to Hirata with his usual cold expression, while off stage, the students of Class D began a new round of whispers.

Horikita revealed part of the progress of the Class D's Uninhabited Island Exam a few minutes ago, and Shinohara Satsuki approached him with a hint of envy when he learned that Kushida was staying at the Class A's camp.

Satonaka Satoshi, Aoyama Shiki, Shijo Taiga Hashimoto Masayoshi, Taiga Shiki, and Sanada Kosei — Class A has more handsome guys than Classes B, C, and D combined, and several of them are top-tier.

Sato looked interested. "Did Kushida meet anyone? Sanada seems like a very caring person, and Aoyama is also very easy to talk to, gentle and generous."

"Yes, yes, not long after the start of the semester, we were treated to a meal by Aoyama and even received a small gift."

Is Aoyama Shiki easy to talk to? Gentle and generous? Are we the same person?

Despite maintaining a cheerful expression, Kushida was inwardly annoyed and wanted to shout back. The thought of what she was about to do made her regret her past actions towards Horikita.

"Kushida, do you want to go somewhere fun later? How about we go sing karaoke together? I remember I won first prize in a singing competition when I was in junior high."

Before Kushida could answer Sato and Shinohara, the Three Idiots from Class D, led by Yamauchi, barged into the group of girls.

They waited for seven days and six nights before Kushida, who was willing to talk to them, finally returned. He was currently in a state of great eagerness to play with the girls, ignoring their disdainful looks.

With such high popularity, Kushida will definitely be dragged out to play by girls after the class meeting. He'll have the upper hand first, but not the lower hand later.

Kanji Ike in, "We'd also like to hear Kushida sing."

"Huh? Didn't you see we were talking to Kushida? Boys, get out of here." The hot-tempered Shinohara was anything but polite.

"We're looking for Kushida, not you. Don't flatter yourself. Tell us to get lost!"

In order to play with Kushida, Kanji Ike hardened his stance and glared back at Shinohara, who was giving him an unfriendly look.

Sudo stepped forward and used his towering figure to intimidate, "Yes, yes, don't flatter yourself. Shinohara, in what way do you compare to Kushida?"

"Can you please stop saying things like that, comparing classmates so casually? To be honest, I'm very unhappy about it."

Shinohara Sato Sudo glared angrily at Sudo and his two companions, a slightly cold voice caused all five, including Karuizawa who had approached, to stare in disbelief.

This is because the quote comes from Kushida Kikyo, who has been kind to everyone since the start of the school year, never blamed anyone, and is as kind and innocent as an angel.

This was the first time the students of Class D had heard words of blame directed at someone from Kushida.

"I... I'm sorry." Shocked, Sudo immediately bowed his head and apologized, feeling guilty that he had made such a gentle girl like Kushida angry.

Kushida shook his head, feigning guilt. "I'm the one who should apologize, because—from today onwards, I won't be playing with you guys anymore."

They won't play with us anymore!??

Why? Is it Sudo's fault? Kushida is the only girl in the class who hangs out with us, this kind of thing is absolutely unacceptable!

A mental storm raged through the minds Yamauchi the three, then Kanji Ike and Yamauchi both glanced at Sudo and nodded at each other.

"If it's because of Ken, I can break off all contact with him right now, after all, he said such hurtful things."

"That's right, we feel the same way as you, Kushida. Haruki and I will always stand by you Kushida."

Each of them stood far away from Sudo. Yamauchi and Ike spoke with indignant expressions, as if they would break off their friendship with Sudo at Kushida's command.

Now Sudo couldn't even think straight anymore; he realized how big his mistake was, to the point that Kushida started blaming him and even threatened to break off their friendship.

"You two shouldn't go too far. Even if you're blinded by lust, this is still excessive."

Yamauchi, with a straight face and not a hint of embarrassment, said, "Who would forget their principles for the sake of beauty? We are simply standing on the side of justice."

He didn't even need to think about choosing between the adorable Kushida and the rough Sudo.

Sudo clenched his fist, "You little brat!"

"On our last day on the Uninhabited Island, I confessed to Shiki." Kushida spoke again, looking at the noisy group. "When Shiki- san accepted, she also made a request of me."

"He hates the boys in Class D, so he won't let me be friends with Class D. Until just now, I was hesitant about whether to listen to Shiki."

There is only one student in the first grade whose name includes the Shiki.

That was Class 1-A 1, Student Council Vice President, Aoyama Shiki.

The person involved in the rumored romance with Horikita Suzune, Karuizawa Kei's childhood friend whom she hadn't contacted for many years, has always been at the top of the academic rankings.

Yamauchi covered his head with his hands and screamed, "No way!! Kushida became Aoyama's girlfriend!"
