Yi Chen looked calmly at the changing expression on Ryuen:
"What do you want? Using the same method you use to rule your class?"
"Are you going to take me down?"
Ryuen smiled knowingly:
"It seems you are very clear about the internal situation of Class C."
"What about your own class, then?"
Yi Chen shook his head:
"As you can see."
Upon hearing this, Ryuen held his forehead and laughed out loud:
"Just as Kushida said."
"You have absolutely no presence in your class."
"You won't be able to lead your class to Class A like that."
Yi Chen looked at him indifferently, and after realizing that Ryuen didn't seem to have any hostility, he sat down on his own bed.
Ryuen said arrogantly:
"You're quite casual, kid."
Yi Chen:
"What exactly do you want? Can you just get to the point?"
Ryuen looked at Yi Chen playfully:
"Angela. Yi Chen."
"Do you think my way of managing the class is correct?"
Yi Chen said calmly:
"Correct? I suppose so. It has certainly been effective so far."
Hearing an answer he hadn't expected, many memories surfaced in Ryuen's mind.
He was stunned for a moment.
"Forget it."
Ryuen walked to the side and leaned against the cave wall:
"Tch, I really do hate you smart people."
"I originally wanted to test you."
"But it seems you already knew everything."
"I don't care anymore; I'm actually curious to see what you'll do next."
Yi Chen said calmly:
"I thought you were the type of person who just hit people at random."
Ryuen laughed with disdain:
"It depends on the situation; force is the fastest and best way to rule."
"Academic ability or whatever is completely unimportant."
Yi Chen:
"The rain has stopped, you should go."
Ryuen:
"Why should I? This cave isn't just for you."
Yi Chen looked at Ryuen helplessly:
"Suit yourself."
The two of them sat in awkward silence for a while.
Yi Chen spoke up:
"We aren't going to spend the rest of the exam here together, are we?"
Ryuen smiled when he heard this:
"Forget it. Seeing you banished here, I suppose your Class D has no hope of turning things around this exam."
"I'll find another place once the rain stops."
Yi Chen looked at the Ryuen before him, surprised to find that Ryuen was actually a normal person.
Ryuen said playfully:
"Since you think my management style is good, just wait and see my results this time."
"If you still want to transfer to our class, I will welcome you."
Yi Chen looked at Ryuen indifferently.
The rain was still falling outside, and neither of them had anything to do.
They didn't chat either, just staring at each other, both pretending to be busy.
Yi Chen simply watched the rain falling outside like fine needles, scattering in the air.
Ryuen sat on the stool Yi Chen had made, looking outside.
Ryuen looked at the rain for a moment, then at Yi Chen.
Then he paced around the cave, looking at the various odds and ends Yi Chen had crafted.
Almost an hour passed, and the rain stopped.
Ryuen watched the rain cease and picked up his jacket.
"Angela Yi Chen, the competition in this school has only just begun."
"Just watch closely as I lead Class C to rise to Class A."
After dropping this harsh threat, Ryuen's figure walked into the woods.
Yi Chen watched Ryuen leave and waved his hand helplessly.
At this moment, a sense of intrigue rose in Ryuen's heart.
Does he think I manage things well?
Angela Yi Chen, huh? Very interesting.
I thought Yi Chen would be an easy opponent to manipulate, but I didn't expect him to be this amusing.
Yi Chen looked in the direction Ryuen had left, shook his head lightly, and muttered to himself:
"Ryuen is just like a psychopath."
"I can't read him, I don't understand him, but how exactly did he convince people from other classes to turn villainous?"
"By giving them points? People from Class B and Class A shouldn't be that desperate."
"It looks like there must be people like Kushida in the other classes as well."
Yi Chen tidied up a bit and headed toward the Class A base along the muddy dirt path.
Upon arriving at the Class A base, he discovered that there wasn't even a tent left there.
Yi Chen began to explore, searching for their previous base to make an assessment.
He spotted Kito from Class A in a flat area.
At the Class A camp, everyone was standing around arguing.
Yi Chen watched quietly.
"How could we make a mistake while occupying the base?"
"It's not that, I'm sorry, I wasn't careful."
"Sigh, forget it, the points deducted aren't that many."
"Hurry up and continue the occupation."
He saw the green-haired student next to Katsuragi begin to operate the card.
Yi Chen:
In this way, the leader of Class A must be Yahiko.
Next is Class B.
Yi Chen turned and left, completely unaware that another person had also been observing Class A just moments ago.
And that person had even spotted Yi Chen.
"Class A leader Yahiko."
"Did Class D's Yi Chen see it too? Interesting."
Yi Chen went back, thinking that there was no need to guess about Class B either.
I'll just coast until the exam ends.
The fifth day.
On the night of the sixth day, heavy rain began to fall from the sky again.
Ayanokoji carried Horikita into Yi Chen's cave.
Yi Chen was extremely shocked.
He saw Ayanokoji speak calmly:
"Come with me."
Yi Chen followed Ayanokoji, looking at the Horikita he was carrying.
He thought:
"What is going on? Ayanokoji knows I'm here."
"And why did Horikita get sick anyway?"
"Is everything following the original plotline?"
"I really didn't do anything to interfere with this exam."
Yi Chen followed Ayanokoji as they trekked through the forest in the rain.
After asking, Yi Chen understood that Ayanokoji simply wanted to replace the leader with himself.
"As expected of the protagonist. Is it the plot driving things this way, or...?"
Yi Chen watched the cold, indifferent Ayanokoji with a calm expression.
Yi Chen didn't know what to think.
After all, just coasting along was quite comfortable.
The three of them soon arrived at the Cruise Ship and found Chabashira.
Chabashira looked at the two of them, and at the unconscious Horikita in Ayanokoji's arms.
Chabashira revealed a sinister smile unlike anything she had shown before.
The exam ended at noon the next day.
Yi Chen returned to his class.
He was once again met with a flurry of concern and questions.
Each class began filling out the names of the leaders of the other classes.
Hirata took the initiative to find Yi Chen and asked him to fill out the form.
Yi Chen thought for a moment.
"If I follow the plot..."
"I already saw the leader of Class A, it's Yahiko."
"I won't write down Class B; it should be the person next to that purple-haired girl."
"The purple-haired girl hasn't shown any signs of worry since they occupied the base."
Yi Chen looked at the students from Class B and recalled who their leader was.
But Yi Chen didn't write it down.
"The leader of Class C shouldn't have triggered a butterfly effect."
"Ibuki was sent out by Ryuen, right? He must have done it to find out our class leader."
"In that case, she shouldn't be able to occupy the base."
"Ryuen didn't go to other classes to fish for information."
"Instead, he appeared here in front of me."
Class C: Ryuen.
Just to be safe, Yi Chen called Ayanokoji over to take a look.
Ayanokoji looked at the answers Yi Chen had filled in with a cold expression, then nodded in agreement.
Yi Chen submitted the form.
Soon, the results of the Uninhabited Island exam for each class were announced.
Last place, Class C:
"0 points."
The three remaining Class C students on the island were left dumbfounded.
Ryuen looked on in disbelief:
"What? How is this possible?"
Kushida, too, gritted her teeth and glared at Ryuen in disbelief.
Third place, Class A:
"140 points."
The faction loyal to Sakayanagi in Class A began to glare angrily at Katsuragi.
Second place:
"Class B, 150 points."
First place:
"Class D, 220 points."
Class D erupted into cheers and celebration.
