"It's almost time, I need to leave area F9 now."

After watching the beach volleyball game, it was almost 3 PM. Shuichi Kanda decided to return to F8 first and then wait for the designated location at 3 PM.

"Hmm, let's see if there are any other suitable topics. Let's set up camp together tonight."

"Okay, let's do it at the intersection of F9 and G9," Shuichi Kanda casually agreed.

After returning to area F8, Shuichi Kanda walked eastward along the boundary between F8 and F9, and then entered area F9 after the designated area appeared, once again securing the first place finisher reward.

Now Shuichi Kanda's score has reached 23 points, which means he's no longer at the bottom.

Chapter 310 Tsukishiro: What is a Strategic Vision?

After receiving the order reward, Shuichi Kanda started looking for a place to pitch his tent. Why make life so hard?

Even with the bet with Nagumo, Shuichi Kanda wasn't worried at all. After all, the rankings weren't out yet, and he didn't even know the gap between them. Acting rashly wouldn't be being prepared; it would only be overdoing it.

We can check the scores of the top ten and bottom ten on the fourth day before worrying about the competition. For the first few days, let Shuichi Kanda enjoy camping on the Uninhabited Island.

Having set up a tent before, Shuichi Kanda spent about ten minutes setting up his single tent. Then he took out his tablet again and began to look at the topics around him.

There is a swimming event in G9 to the east, a grip strength competition in F9 near the sea to the south, and a seaside fishing event at the river estuary in E9.

After seeing these, Shuichi Kanda immediately abandoned the topics of swimming and grip strength and headed straight for the topic of fishing.

For most people, fishing might be a waste of time, but for Shuichi Kanda, there's no better activity.

Topic: [Fishing]

Category: Other

Participation requirements: Register within 120 minutes of the topic being announced.

Number of participants: Individual project (maximum of one person per group).

Registration closes when eight groups have logged in or when the registration period ends.

Victory condition: The student who catches the largest fish within one hour wins.

Rewards: 15 points for first place, 8 points for second place, and 3 points for third place.

The fish caught belong to the student.

Because the competition lasted so long, there weren't many people around when Shuichi Kanda register.

The exam was conducted by a school staff member Shuichi Kanda did not know. After Shuichi Kanda took out his tablet to register, he was told that three more groups of students needed to register before the exam could begin.

Please wait patiently until then, Shuichi Kanda. You can also familiarize yourself with the fishing rod first. However, the fish you catch now will not be counted towards your exam score. Although they will not be counted towards your exam score, they will still belong to you.

There were fishing rods available for everyone to choose from at the venue, which was quite thoughtful. After choosing our rods, it took another ten minutes or so before the place finally filled up with people.

In those ten-odd minutes, Shuichi Kanda caught absolutely nothing; not even a small fish, let alone a big one.

The students in the other groups all gained something, which made Shuichi Kanda envious.

Is this how a fisherman feels?

Damn it!

In the end, Shuichi Kanda didn't catch even a small fish, and when he left, he felt like everyone around him was laughing at him.

Damn it, if you keep fishing like this, I'm a dog!

Shuichi Kanda silent vow, then returned the fishing rod, having wasted more than an hour.

Soon, it was past 5 p. m., after which no new projects would be launched, but projects that were already underway would continue.

Ichinose and Kamuro also returned from the other areas.

"Shuichi, I saw you fishing earlier, how was your catch?"

Seeing Kamuro's mocking expression, Shuichi Kanda was exasperated. "Damn Masumi, are you doing this on purpose?"

"Hmph, you're asking a question you already know the answer to."

Shuichi Kanda snorted unhappily.

"Hey, did Xiuyi not catch a single small fish? How pitiful!"

Looking at Kamuro's affected manner, Shuichi Kanda than to pin her down on his lap and give her a good spanking.

However, not only did Shuichi Kanda's gaze not frighten Kamuro, the other party even winked at Shuichi Kanda.

That evening, Shuichi Kanda essentially mooched off the two's food, since it wouldn't be appropriate for him to eat such good food alone in his tent.

Furthermore, Ichinose and Kamuro obtained fresh ingredients from the project they participated in during the day, and they also brought cooking utensils, so Shuichi Kanda became their cook.

"I wonder how Kikyo is doing."

Kamuro, while eating his delicious dinner, was thinking about his companion, Kushida Kikyo.

"Why don't you just ask if you want to know?"

Shuichi Kanda took out Intercom and handed it over.

"This isn't a good idea."

As he said this, Kamuro took the Intercom, asked for Shuichi Kanda and Kushida's channel number, and then began making the call.

"Kikyo, Kikyo, can you hear me?"

After a while, a sound came from the other side.

"Huh? Is that Masumi?"

"Oh yeah, where is Kikyo now? Honami, Shuichi, and I are having dinner together in F9."

Hearing Kamuro's words, Shuichi Kanda was speechless. "You... you're showing off, aren't you?"

But you might get away with showing off like that, but what about me?

While Shuichi Kanda was leisurely chatting on the Intercom, on the cruise ship, Tsukishiro, the chief examiner, was sitting on the deck of his cabin, enjoying the sea breeze.

Since he's leaving soon anyway, he might as well enjoy this time while he can. After all, his life before was either spent working or on his way to work.

It's quite nice to have such a leisurely period. People should treat themselves well, especially someone like him who has entered middle age.

"Mr. Tsukishiro, today's exam results are out."

A school staff member walked over with a tablet.

"How's it going?"

"Five groups have already abstained, but all five groups have relief measures in place and no one has been expelled."

Furthermore, the Free Ride Card and Additional Card from the first and second grades all combined point to Koenji.

Currently, Koenji's score is 78 points, ranking first among all groups. Second place is held by the group of third-year student Miyabi Nagumo, with 50 points.

"Okay, I understand."

Tsukishiro seemed completely unconcerned about these statistics.

However, his subordinates, somewhat worried, offered Tsukishiro a reminder.

"Um, Mr. Tsukishiro, if Koenji really wins first place, the Private Points school alone will probably have to spend close to 200 million yen. Is that really okay?"

"Don't worry, even if it costs another two hundred million, it's no big deal. Anyway, I don't have to pay for it."

Although he was prepared from the beginning, as expected of the young master of the Kanda Family, he really knows how to have fun.

A single exam can award nearly 200 million points, and with other expenses added, it easily reaches 300 million points.

It was only because of me that no one else could have solved it.

Tsukishiro couldn't help but give himself a thumbs up when he thought about his own actions.

Before he devised the rules for this exam, he did one thing first: he visited the Kanda Family, subtly explained his plan, and indicated that the exam might cost a lot of points.

Without hesitation, the Kanda Family lent out the Saint Venus ship and told Tsukishiro, "It's alright, just go for it this time. The Kanda Family is all in."

Furthermore, it was stated that someone like Mr. Tsukishiro is exactly the kind of talent the Kanda Family needs.

With the Kanda Family's endorsement, Tsukishiro was practically sitting back and doing nothing; what did it matter how many more points he spent?

In the eyes of the Kanda Family, things that can be solved with money are not a problem at all; money is just a number to them.

To put Tsukishiro at ease, they even added an extra 500 million euros to the investment for this exam.

When Tsukishiro saw the money, he felt terrible. Back in the White Room, he had begged and pleaded for project funding, but he couldn't get much money.

However, after he expressed his desire to join the Kanda Family, the other party almost threw a checkbook at his face.

Who the hell understands the difference between these two?

So let alone 200 million, even if it were another 200 million, he could come up with the money.

For ordinary students, the connections and opportunities provided by the school after graduating from Class A are extremely valuable. However, for those with real power, it's just a matter of saying a word or even not saying a word, and their subordinates will naturally take care of it.

After all, the Kanda Family is a family that truly possesses miracles. Being able to leave a good impression on the Shuichi Kanda family is worth more than 200 million, 800 million, or even 2 billion or 8 billion.

As for dropping out of school Ayanokoji, he was already somewhat unwilling to continue, no, he didn't even want to act anymore.

What a terrible White Room! Making subordinates do such thankless tasks—can't they learn from the Kanda Family?

They're dedicating all their family's resources to serving the next head of the family!

However, at the same time, Tsukishiro also felt the injustice of this world.

Ayanokoji's father, Ayanokoji Atsuomi, devoted his entire life, even sending his own son to the despairing White Room, all in an effort to become prime minister, but to this day he has yet to become a member of parliament.

However, Tsukishiro only managed to get in touch with the Kanda Family. They could even offer him a position as a councilor as a reward. In their words, "So what if he's a councilor? Families always need political representatives. I think you're quite good at dealing with people, so you're the one."

At this moment, Tsukishiro shouldn't be concerned about how much the exam cost, but rather how to play the next exam and how to help Shuichi Kanda get more personal points.

As for the bet between Shuichi Kanda and Nagumo, Tsukishiro didn't care at all, since Nagumo couldn't win anyway.

"You can go now. Oh, and by the way, arrange a few more projects along the route leading to Koenji."

"Koenji?"

"Rokusuke Koenji from Class 2-A"

"I see."

Although he didn't know why Tsukishiro did this, as a subordinate, he could only follow Tsukishiro's instructions.

Another thought: do people really believe everything is fair? How naive!

The next day, Shuichi Kanda six o'clock, climbed out of his tent, and stretched lazily.

He still didn't choose to spend the night in the tent next door last night. After Ichinose and Kamuro were also very tired after a long day of hiking and participating in the project, and he didn't want to add to their burden.

After washing their faces and brushing their teeth with drinking water, Kamuro and Ichinose also got up.

Good morning, Masumi, Honami. Did you sleep well last night?

"Good morning, Shuichi. It feels so nice. I wonder if it's because of the seaside, but I don't feel hot at all."

Ichinose and Kamuro were both in good spirits. After all, when Shuichi Kanda was playing around with them during dinner yesterday, he secretly applied a little bit of Reverse Cream to their faces when they weren't looking, so they should have slept quite well last night.

"I feel like I slept very well, and I don't know why I feel a little cool."

"Okay, let's keep going for today."

Seeing their expressions, Shuichi Kanda smiled and handed them some drinking water, "Wash your face."

"You're actually washing your face with drinking water? Shuichi, you're so wasteful!"

However, Kamuro still used the water to wet the towel and wiped his face. But instead of feeling refreshed, he felt a bit hot after wiping his face.

"Don't worry about me. I plan to go back to the starting point around noon. The random location for today is the starting point, so I can replenish my water there," Shuichi Kanda said, pouring water for Ichinose as well.

"Oh, that's fine then."

"Well, I'm not planning to compete for the top three anyway. I just need to support Koenji."

Ichinose nodded. "Yes, Shuichi, it's up to you."

"Yes, just contact me if you need any supplies, and I'll prepare them for you."

Although they were puzzled as to why Shuichi Kanda was preparing supplies for them, Ichinose and Kamuro nodded in agreement.

After 7 o'clock, the watch gave an instruction, and then Shuichi Kanda opened the tablet. The next destination was F7, the place two squares to the north, while Ichinose and the others were at H8, which was on the mountain.

"Your next destination is in the mountains, so be careful and don't overexert yourself."

Shuichi Kanda solemnly advised the two of them, "Or you could simply bypass this place and go directly to the next location."
