Uninhabited Island Exam (1) Start

After Yi Chen and Ichinose stepped out, they arrived at the restaurant on the top deck of the cruise ship, looking out at the scenery over the sea.

The two ordered a couple of premium drinks; although it was quite late, the restaurant was still fairly crowded.

Yi Chen scanned the people in the restaurant.

He soon spotted Kushida chatting with Ryuen and his group.

Yi Chen observed them quietly:

Kushida, is it?

Right, she's the traitor.

A memory suddenly surfaced in Yi Chen's mind.

There's another exam on the cruise ship, the Werewolf game?

Kushida has been betraying us from the very beginning!

How could I have forgotten about this?

Damn, I've really been living too comfortably.

I almost forgot what I came here to do.

I need to promote to Class A!

Albert noticed Yi Chen watching them and informed Ryuen.

Ryuen stood up, and the five of them walked toward Yi Chen.

Seeing Ryuen, Ichinose stepped in front of Yi Chen to protect him.

Yi Chen was amused by this gesture.

Ryuen said mockingly:

"What's wrong, Ichinose? What's with that look on your face?"

Yi Chen stepped forward:

"Is there something you need, Ryuen?"

Ryuen:

"I just saw an acquaintance and came over to say hello."

"Isn't that right, Angela. Yi Chen."

Yi Chen smiled:

"Is that so? Do you have anything else to say?"

Upon hearing this, Ryuen laughed instead of getting angry:

"I just want to see how you plan to lead Class D to Class A."

After saying this, Ryuen pulled Kushida toward him.

Kushida disgustedly shook off Ryuen's hand.

Kushida glanced at Yi Chen but didn't say anything.

The group chatted for a moment and then left.

Yi Chen took Ichinose away, simply telling her that he was a bit tired.

The two then parted ways to get some rest.

That night, Yi Chen began to think about the exam, simulating every possible scenario in his mind.

He viewed the world with the utmost malice.

The next day.

August began.

The cruise ship had been sailing for a day and a night, and soon it arrived near a small island.

Yi Chen woke up early in the morning.

Angel:

Task Issued
Uninhabited Island Class Exam
First Place: One Diamond Card
Second Place: One Gold Card
Third Place: Eradication
Fourth Place: Total Erasure

Yi Chen took a brief look at the task, having long since grown accustomed to it.

However, the Diamond Card reward for first place still made Yi Chen's heart race.

Ever since Yi Chen obtained these random cards, he felt like he looked incredibly cool.

Then, a broadcast echoed throughout the Cruise Ship:

"All students and faculty, assemble on the Deck."

Yi Chen looked out the window from inside the Cabin with a calm expression.

"Uninhabited Island."

"Has it begun?"

Upon arriving at the Deck to assemble, the students of Class D were very slow to arrive.

By the time Yi Chen arrived, the other classes had already formed their lines.

Yi Chen looked calmly at Ayanokoji, Horikita, and the others. Only nine people from Class D had arrived.

Yi Chen then looked at Chabashira.

Chabashira looked as moody as she always did.

While waiting, Yi Chen stood in place and continued to fantasize about everything that might happen during the upcoming exam.

Soon, the students of Class D arrived in dribs and drabs, with some still complaining and grumbling.

Chabashira looked at her class with a sense of helplessness.

Chabashira spoke up to quiet the entire class.

She then told everyone concisely:

"We are about to land on the island."

"Personal items are not allowed."

"All student IDs must be confiscated."

Then, Chabashira took out a watch and told everyone:

"From now on, you must wear this watch."

"It cannot be removed; removing it will result in severe penalties."

Soon, the homeroom teacher of Class A arrived at a central location.

He set up a podium.

The Class A teacher told everyone:

"The following will be a special exam lasting one week."

"Everyone will now live on the island for one week."

"How you live is up to you."

"Alright everyone, you may begin preparing to land on the island."

Everyone was shocked when he finished speaking.

Many students looked at Yi Chen.

"Was he just guessing? Is it really an exam?"

However, they only took a glance and didn't think much of it.

After all, even if they had known, it wouldn't have been useful; in their eyes, it would have just been knowing a little earlier.

Then, the homeroom teachers of all classes began confiscating the students' student IDs, mobile phones, and other personal items.

They then issued a Smartwatch to each student.

Afterward, Chabashira explained the details of this exam.

"The exam begins the moment you land on the island and ends at noon on the seventh day."

"Each class has 300 Private Points."

"You can only use these 300 points to purchase items on the island."

"Any remaining class points at the end of the exam will be added to the school's class point total."

"Furthermore,"

Chabashira took out a green card.

"Each class must have a leader."

"There are occupied territories on the island; if a leader occupies one, they can earn bonus points."

"Bonus points are not included in the currently available category."

"A territory can only be occupied for 8 hours at a time."

"This card is the key to occupation."

"The leader cannot be changed at will."

"If there is any misconduct on the island that violates student rules, points will be deducted."

"The end."

Chabashira looked gloomily at Yi Chen and Ayanokoji, letting out a hair-raising, eerie laugh.

"At noon on the 7th day, the exam will introduce the option to guess the leaders of other classes."

"A correct guess rewards 50 points, while an incorrect one deducts 50."

The students were all shocked, and a continuous stream of murmurs began.

Yi Chen, meanwhile, gazed into the distance at the Uninhabited Island.

Soon, the school sent speedboats to transport the students to the island.

On the boat, Yi Chen examined his watch, feeling it was no different from a fitness tracker, just with a slightly more advanced GPS.

Upon arriving on the island, the school provided each class with basic survival supplies.

It was just a backpack containing toiletries, a tent, matches, and the like.

There were also bags for disposing of waste.

The students groaned at the sight.

They began to complain and bicker about one thing after another.

However, Yosuke Hirata, the leader of Class D, stepped forward.

Hirata began to explain the arrangements and plans to the students.

Yi Chen, on the other hand, kept looking toward the distant forest to observe.

Yi Chen thought to himself:

What did Ryuen mean yesterday? And Kushida?

With the knowledge from the Bear Grylls survival manual, survival shouldn't be a problem.

I need to get a good grasp of the terrain soon and find as many occupied areas as possible.

Then, I'll see if I can spy on the leaders of the other classes.

To secure the rewards and avoid accidents, I must take more initiative.

Ayanokoji watched the distracted Yi Chen from the side.

He walked up and whispered:

"What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"

Yi Chen said indifferently:

"Since we just arrived at the Uninhabited Island, I'm not very clear on the internal layout. It'll take some time to figure it out."

Ayanokoji looked at Yi Chen calmly:

"After the ship arrived here, there were hints given about the island."

Yi Chen looked at Ayanokoji as if waking from a dream:

"Damn, I didn't pay attention. Why are you reminding me?"

Ayanokoji didn't speak again and walked over to Hirata to listen to his arrangements.

Yi Chen watched Ayanokoji.

Internal monologue:

Was I just treated like an idiot? Or is he just too lazy to answer?

Whatever, it doesn't matter. I'll just have to take it one step at a time.

Soon, a conflict broke out over at Hirata's side, and Yi Chen walked over to take a look.

Osamu asked Yi Chen:

"Yi Chen, don't you also think we shouldn't waste our points?"

Yi Chen saw the group of students led by Karuizawa looking at him:

Yi Chen thought to himself:

Nice one, Osamu, shifting the blame onto me.

But Yi Chen still said calmly:

"Spend what needs to be spent. Points can be earned anyway, so just save what you can."

The girls who wanted to spend the points cheered upon hearing this:

"Yi Chen-kun is truly different from those pretentious, selfish people."

Osamu, Yamauchi, and a few others who felt the points shouldn't be spent recklessly retorted:

"Yi Chen, how can you side with the girls?"

"Let me ask you, if the class points are all used up, how will we increase our living expenses later?"

"And you girls, what do you mean by 'selfish'? Aren't these points meant for all of us to use together?"

"Even if you want to buy them, doesn't the whole class need to vote on it?"

Yi Chen looked at himself, feeling as if he had fallen into a whirlpool of public opinion.

Yi Chen looked helplessly at Horikita and Ayanokoji.

Horikita, meanwhile, wore a look of schadenfreude.

Ayanokoji signaled that he was unable to help.

Yi Chen felt somewhat helpless, wanting to say something but holding back.

The two groups of people just stared at Yi Chen like this.

Airi stepped forward, trembling as she said:

"Yi Chen-kun is right. What needs to be spent should be spent, and it's impossible to judge how much will be left right now, so there's no need for everyone to argue."

Yi Chen looked at Airi as she stepped out, feeling deeply grateful inside:

That's amazing, Airi. Since you're being so good to me, I will definitely protect you.

Yi Chen stood up, shielded Airi behind him, and spoke calmly:

"How about this, let's stop with the back-and-forth. We have 300 points; let's just take out 100 to use for the next seven days, okay?"

"We won't touch the remaining 200. Besides, it's absolutely impossible to get through this exam without spending a single point."

Most of the students felt that Yi Chen made sense, and Yi Chen was usually a decent person anyway. He treated everyone the same and didn't play any double-faced games behind people's backs.

Everyone's trust in Yi Chen was still okay.

Seeing this, Hirata also hurriedly stepped out to smooth things over:

"Student Yi Chen is also right; expenses are definitely going to happen. We will try to save as much as we can."

"Student Osamu wants to save more points for the class out of good intentions, after all, everyone's living expenses will increase."

"Karuizawa is also right on her side; after all, they are girls, unlike us boys who can be more careless."

"So, no one has any issues. Let's go with Yi Chen's method. I think that's fine, especially since it seems we might still be able to earn points."

"Let's use a maximum of 120 points."

The girls cheered upon hearing this, and the boys, seeing Hirata step in, also thought about it and decided, "Let's just settle it like that."

Seeing this situation, Yi Chen felt a sincere sense of admiration for someone like Hirata.

Back at his previous school, the class monitor would always form cliques.

Unlike Hirata, who treated everyone equally.

Yi Chen looked at Hirata and thought to himself:

What kind of person is Hirata, anyway?

After Hirata settled everyone down, he led them onto the island.
