After all, this is a large-scale exam that lasts for two weeks, and there's nothing that can be done even if it happens on those days. Moreover, because the last few places have already been confirmed, some students who don't have much desire for the Private Points reward have gradually withdrawn from the exam.

However, these people all had one thing in common: before withdrawing from the exam, they all sold their scores to Ryuen Kakeru from Class 2-D for 100 Private Points per point.

After obtaining these points, Ryuen squandered them recklessly, checked the distribution of people on the island, and then issued orders to sabotage Nagumo's path to earning points.

This feeling was so amazing that even Ryuen couldn't stop.

"You're quite capable, Ryuen."

Seeing the ever-widening score gap between Koenji Nagumo, Shuichi Kanda expressed his sincere admiration.

"Hmph, Nagumo's methods aren't exactly sophisticated."

Ryuen was lying on the beach above the starting point. He not only used his personal points to recover the scores of the students who withdrew from the exam, but also bought the resource points they possessed.

Therefore, even if Ryuen doesn't go out to participate in research projects, he has enough food to eat, and the starting point has an unlimited supply of water resources, so Ryuen lives a very comfortable life.

As for his points, he had already used them up by the second day, so there was no need to worry about them being deducted.

Furthermore, he sent members of his team, Ishizaki and Albert, specifically to put pressure on Nagumo.

Although this person is not good at academic subjects, he has never lost in physical ability subjects.

All Ishizaki and Albert needed to do was follow Ryuen's orders to cause trouble for Nagumo and earn supplies along the way.

Ryuen himself was at the starting point, issuing orders to each group via Intercom to sabotage Nagumo.

In addition to causing trouble for Nagumo, the students from Class A and Class D in the second year, and Class D in the first year, also had to arrange manpower along Koenji's route.

If Koenji participates in a project but there aren't enough participants, wouldn't that be a waste of his time and reduce his efficiency in earning points?

So the current situation is:

Ryuen Nagumo were trying to sabotage each other and hinder each other's progress in gaining points. However, Ryuen didn't care at all; as long as Koenji could participate in the project, he was sure he could get first place.

But Nagumo is different. He might be able to do it once or twice, but if it happens too often, he's doomed. He simply can't keep up!

After all, not everyone is Koenji.

Starting from the seventh day, after three days of competition, we arrived at the tenth day. The score difference between Koenji Nagumo's teams had reached over 270 points!

The situation is clear!

Chapter 320 Amasawa Ichika: This is a miracle!

After a short rest at the starting point, Shuichi Kanda and Ayanokoji set off again, this time without Nanase.

Although Nanase's stamina was pretty good, after several days of running, she was starting to fall behind Ayanokoji and Shuichi Kanda's pace.

Moreover, it's indeed inconvenient to bring a girl along when you're out and about, and of course, there's also the most important reason.

Tsukishiro is planning to leave.

However, he didn't want to just leave without doing anything; at least in the end, he wanted to fulfill his obligation to see Ayanokoji off.

Of course, whether or not he can be sent away is not important; what matters is that he tried his best.

Even if someone in his line of work is about to change jobs, they still have to do the tasks assigned by their former employer well. Even if they fail in the end, it doesn't matter, because human resources are sometimes limited.

Because if I fail, it can only be because you, Ayanokoji's father, raised your son too well, not because I didn't try hard enough!

It's okay to fail; as long as others see your efforts, that's enough. But you absolutely cannot do nothing. Sometimes, what superiors need to see isn't the result, but the attitude.

So Tsukishiro told Shuichi Kanda about his plan: on the last day, he would ambush Ayanokoji.

The specific method is quite simple: the final direction of the itinerary in Ayanokoji's watch is different from everyone else's.

Furthermore, people who team up with Ayanokoji will automatically choose Ayanokoji's route, instead of having a 50% probability.

That's why when Shuichi Kanda teamed up with him, their route changed to Ayanokoji's route. It wasn't a matter of probability; it was predetermined.

However, to prevent outsiders from entering, Tsukishiro contacted Shuichi Kanda through his subordinates, asking him to send away the others who were traveling with him, such as Nanase.

After all, although Nanase knew about the White Room, she only had a vague understanding of it, and it was better not to expose some things.

Day 6, a very quiet place near the lake, noon on the tenth day.

"Eel rice!"

After a clear voice rang out, a steaming bowl of eel rice appeared on a tablecloth placed on the lawn.

Although she had seen it many times, Amasawa Ichika still found it incredibly incredible.

"Alright, alright, Ichika, it's time to order."

Jingu Yuki, a first-year student who had once followed Shuichi Kanda, picked up the bowl and placed it on the makeshift table.

"Then I'll have -- 'Tonkotsu Ramen'."

"You never get tired of eating ramen Ichika day, do you, Ichika?"

"I'm eating a piece of eel," Jingu Yuki teased.

Ichika, on the other hand, didn't care at all, because when they trained in the White Room before, although every meal was nutritionally balanced, the taste was really not good.

Moreover, Ichika rarely eats high-calorie foods like noodles, so she plans to eat until she vomits.

Besides, Jingu Yuki's "Gourmet Tablecloth" is really useful. Not only can it make you eat hot ramen on this deserted island, but it's also incredibly delicious.

While enjoying her delicious ramen, Ichika thought about the Matoba when Jingu Yuki found her.

At that time, Hosen had just been expelled from school and had just been disciplined by Shuichi Kanda. She was still a little unsettled when Jingu Yuki performed a "miracle" in front of her.

From then on, she became good friends with Jingu Yuki, or rather, good followers?

Amasawa Ichika didn't care about this.

What she cared about was simple: whether she could escape the White Room.

Amasawa Ichika, 15 years old, was conceived through in vitro fertilization. She has never met her father since birth, and the person who carried her for ten months and gave birth to her was just a woman who wanted money.

He lived in White Room from birth, and then received cruel education in the White Room from the age of two.

Fortunately, she successfully completed the tasks assigned to her by the instructors.

As a child, there is always a sense of anticipation when completing tasks assigned by adults. Yes, it's the feeling of wanting to be praised. Amasawa Ichika is no exception.

But she never received any praise, not even once, despite her diligent efforts in completing her tasks.

No, this is already the limit. It can't even beat the control group, let alone Ayanokoji.

That was the first time she had heard the name Ayanokoji, and the first time she had ever heard the term "control group".

However, at that time, she was too young to know who Ayanokoji was, nor did she understand the meaning of the control group.

But as she grew older and her education deepened, she gradually began to understand.

I, Amasawa Ichika, am not what others expect.

However, she continued to strive to receive more education and break more records, but no matter what, she could not beat her control group— Yagami Takuya.

Not to mention the legendary genius, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji.

Is Ayanokoji strong?

Very strong!

How powerful is it?

Amasawa Ichika didn't know.

Because she had never faced off against Kiyotaka Ayanokoji.

Her comparison, Yagami Takuya, was also very strong, but at least she could see the difference between the two. However, Ayanokoji was not like that.

To paraphrase the instructor in the White Room: You can get 99 points because your ability is only 99 points, while Ayanokoji can get 100 points because the course's maximum score is 100 points.

That was the pinnacle of all the students in the White Room; even without knowing whether they were holding back, they were already the strongest.

Later, the strongest one broke free from the control of the White Room and came to a school called "Advanced Nurturing High School".

In order to expel Ayanokoji and bring him back to the White Room, Amasawa and Yagami's group of students were also sent to this school.

Then, Amasawa saw scenery he had never seen before and ate food he had never eaten before.

Then he successfully met Kiyotaka Ayanokoji.

How to put it? He was very inconspicuous, extremely inconspicuous, but Amasawa Ichika knew that it was just a disguise.

However, it didn't matter to her anymore at that time. After seeing the scenery outside the White Room, Amasawa Ichika had no desire to go back.

Moreover, she understood very well that money was essential for a comfortable life in the outside world.

So when Tsukishiro Nagumo issued bounties for Ayanokoji and Shuichi Kanda respectively, she did not hesitate to choose to expel Shuichi Kanda school and then get the 20 million yen.

That's why she collaborated with Hosen, or rather, to improve Hosen's plans.

The plan to stab himself and then frame Shuichi Kanda was originally Hosen's idea.

As for why she didn't choose Ayanokoji, it's because she knew Ayanokoji wasn't so easy to deal with.

To everyone's surprise, Shuichi Kanda proved to be far more formidable than Ayanokoji, not only defeating Hosen but also nearly getting expelled himself.

If she were expelled, her plans for freedom would be ruined, so even though she wasn't expelled on the spot, she was extremely fearful during that time.

Until she met Jingu Yuki, or rather, Jingu Yuki took the initiative to come to her.

That time, she witnessed a 'miracle'.

Then, a few days later, she received a notification from Tsukishiro that she had been 'fired' from the White Room.

It was from that moment that she realized just how amazing this seemingly carefree girl named Jingu Yuki was, so she decided to take good care of her!

"Ichika, Ichika!"

Jingu Yuki's shout brought Amasawa back to his senses.

"Hey? What's wrong?"

Seeing Amasawa Ichika, Jingu Yuki smiled helplessly.

"If you don't eat soon, the noodles will get soggy!"

Wow!

As for the outcome, neither of them knew who was taking care of whom.

Of course, Shuichi Kanda was unaware of what was happening here. At that moment, he was with Ayanokoji distributing supplies, mainly food, to the Class 2-A and Class D, as well as the Class 1-D, who were still on the island.

Water is too heavy for the two of them to carry, and there are many projects that reward water. At this stage, basically every project will give water.

These people have been preventing Nagumo from getting points, so he basically doesn't participate in tasks that can earn him food; he just participates when he happens to be passing by.

Shuichi Kanda and Ayanokoji's task was to participate in a project with generous food and water rewards, and then leave these items for the students under Ryuen's direction.

This test is not only a test of endurance, but also a test of resources. Without sufficient resources, even Koenji wouldn't last more than a few days.

There are only three and a half days left in the battle with Nagumo, and we absolutely cannot afford to falter at this point.

However, starting from the tenth day, the gap between Koenji Nagumo's group began to slowly narrow.

Nagumo has begun to take measures.

The method is quite simple: divide the group into 15-person units, take on any available projects, and ignore any projects with other participants unless you are confident in your ability to complete them.

In this way, as long as you participate in the project, you are guaranteed victory; if you don't participate, you can keep those troublemakers temporarily stuck at the project site.

After all, Ryuen couldn't completely abandon this approach given the challenges they faced, since GPS tracking also required points.

Therefore, Ryuen was caught off guard, allowing Nagumo to turn the tables.

Koenji's performance remained consistent, and the gap between the two groups remained around 240 points.

Ryuen remained completely unfazed. After all, it's good to give people a glimmer of hope; seeing their despair is all the more pleasing to the eye, isn't it?

By evening of the tenth day, Shuichi Kanda and Kiyotaka Ayanokoji had found a place to set up camp.

"What a wonderful place!"

"Unfortunately, someone's already taken."

In the jungle of area B5, there is a fairly open area with a flat surface, which makes it a good place to set up camp.

Furthermore, judging from the traces left at the scene, students had camped here a few days ago, and there is currently a single tent standing there. However, it's a bit strange that, despite the heat, the entrance to the tent is closed.

Well, there's still plenty of space.
