If You Can't Solve the Problem, Deal with the Person Who Caused It

Kiryuin had already put down his schoolbag, and after Shuichi Kanda washed his hands, he immediately rushed over.

Then, in less than thirty seconds, her hands were bound behind her back by Shuichi Kanda, and she was pressed against a tree trunk by Shuichi Kanda, looking completely bewildered.

Chapter 321 If you can't solve the problem, solve the person who created it.

Fuka Kiryuin Shuichi Kanda pinned her to the tree in just half a minute. At that moment, she felt as if her hands were being clamped by an iron clamp, and she couldn't move at all.

Hateful!

How can we just give up like that!

Kiryuin gritted her teeth and kicked behind her, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't hit Shuichi Kanda, and each time she was blocked by him.

"Behave yourself!"

Faced with Kiryuin's relentless back kicks, Shuichi Kanda grew impatient and grabbed her ankle with his other hand.

Hmm, feels nice. This guy's wearing stockings under his pants? That's something.

Unlike Shuichi Kanda, Kiryuin felt a chill run down his spine immediately after being captured.

It's over!

Not only his hands, but also one of his feet was controlled by Shuichi Kanda, leaving Kiryuin with only one foot and no way to move.

A feeling of humiliation rose in Kiryuin's heart. She had never been treated like this before, and it was also the first time she had been in such close contact with a man her own age. The strange sensations coming from her wrists and ankles made Kiryuin feel very uncomfortable.

Although he could barely move his body, Kiryuin stubbornly turned his head to look at Shuichi Kanda.

"Let me go! You scoundrel!"

Kiryuin's words made Shuichi Kanda laugh.

"Ha! Rogue? Kiryuin, are you out of your mind? You were the one who attacked me first, weren't you? I was just defending myself."

Upon hearing Shuichi Kanda's words, Kiryuin was immediately speechless, as if that made sense.

After taking two deep breaths, Kiryuin spoke softly to Shuichi Kanda.

"It's my fault, Kanda, can you let me go?"

She was so dashing just a moment ago, and now she's all pitiful. Does that mean girls are born actresses?

"Oh, aren't you adorable? I'll forgive you since you're so sincere in apologizing."

With that, Shuichi Kanda released his hands from binding Kiryuin and took two steps back.

After all, there were outsiders here; otherwise, Shuichi Kanda would have taught her a lesson again.

After regaining his freedom, Kiryuin first stretched his wrists, then a charming smile appeared on his lips.

"Of course I'm cute! You don't need to tell me that. But you really took good care of me just now, Kanda."

After saying that, he raised his leg and swept it horizontally towards Shuichi Kanda.

However, Shuichi Kanda easily dodged it.

"I'm warning you, if you dare to lay a hand on me again, things won't be as easy as they were before."

Shuichi Kanda pointed his index finger at Kiryuin with a serious expression.

Kiryuin clearly had no intention of making another move, but his eyes were full of interest as he looked at Shuichi Kanda.

This was the first time in her three years at the school that she had become so interested in someone; it was truly an unexpected discovery.

But...

"You're quite an interesting guy. Don't lose your bet with Nagumo, okay? After all, even a cornered dog will jump over a wall, and a cornered rabbit will bite. People who don't care about their image will stop at nothing, so don't be careless."

"Thank you for your kind words. But you should be careful when you're alone."

Shuichi Kanda accepted Kiryuin's kindness and refrained from further sarcastic remarks.

"Hmm, a girl like me who is so lovable should indeed have a little sense of crisis," Kiryuin said, rubbing his fair wrist.

Looking at Kiryuin across the street, Shuichi Kanda's mind conjured up the image of another person—the guy who always talked about how beautiful he was.

This guy in front of me actually kept saying he was cute and lovable...

These two seem like they were cut from the same mold. Could this guy be related to Koenji? Hmm, that must be it!

After the second half of the battle began, Kouenji continued his rapid attacks without any slackening, maintaining a leading position and accumulating points until today, the eleventh day.

The exam ended at 5 p. m. today. Nagumo from Class 3-A ended his Intercom call and quietly closed his eyes for a moment.

Although he was somewhat surprised that Kouenji was in first place when the scores of the top few were announced on the fourth day, Nagumo was not in a hurry at that point.

After all, Koenji was only one person, while Nagumo's group had become a large group and had Reinforcement Card, so their numbers far exceeded those of Kouenji's group.

Originally, Nagumo's plan was to let Koenji get a little carried away first, then quietly assemble a large group to follow behind Koenji, and wait until Koenji was exhausted after running around for more than ten days.

Take advantage of the last two days when you can't check the rankings to make a final push and take down Koenji.

However, something unexpected happened almost here.

His movements were exposed, and the second-year student Ryuen even abandoned his top-five position to trip him up, causing the Fish Swarm Plan to fail.

Although some measures were taken afterward, there is still a gap of about 110 points between them Koenji.

If things continue as they are, ideally, Nagumo could overtake Koenji at the last minute, but for some reason, Nagumo is filled with unease at this moment.

"Nagumo, what should we do?"

As Nagumo's right-hand men, Mizoe and Rakugo from Class 3-A are currently gathered around Nagumo, along with Kiriyama from Class 3-B.

For them, the current situation is not optimistic. First, there is the loss of 500 Class Points caused by Qiao Huan at the very beginning.

It's important to understand that the difference between Class 3-A and Class 3-B in the third year is only about 700 points. And that's only because Nagumo deliberately lowered Class B's score and raised Class A's score after realizing the threat from Kiriyama.

The second is the bet between Nagumo and Shuichi Kanda. If Nagumo loses here, he will inevitably face expulsion.

Even if they lose Nagumo's Class A, they will only have a score 200 points higher than Kiriyama's Class B, and there are still six or seven months until graduation.

Based on the exam frequency of the third grade last year, Class B has a real chance to turn things around in the next six months.

Now, of the four third-grade classes, the bones of Class C and Class D have been broken, and the rest are basically a bunch of trash. Class A doesn't care, but Class B is different.

Class B still has at least Kiriyama, so their strength is relatively intact.

While Nagumo was around, they were able to keep him in check, but once Nagumo was expelled, Mizoe and Rakugo were almost certain that Kiriyama would lead Class B to start a new war against Class A.

There was no other way. After all, if Nagumo lost this time, not only would he have to drop out of school, but he would also lose all his Private Points. Putting aside Class C and Class D, those people in Class B would definitely fight for their future.

Class A, accustomed to being led by Nagumo, will likely fall into chaos immediately, and it wouldn't be uncommon for Kiriyama to successfully steal their thunder.

Therefore, they really wanted Nagumo to win this exam, so that not only would they get rid of the troublesome Shuichi Kanda, but they would also give Nagumo an extra 100 million personal points.

A victory would solidify Nagumo's position even further.

So from the very beginning, they were determined to help Nagumo win the exam.

However, they all underestimated Koenji's abilities. They thought Koenji would gradually lose his strength in the second half, but instead, he not only didn't lose his strength, he became even stronger.

This made them start to complain about the heavy rain a few days ago. Perhaps in their view, if it weren't for the heavy rain that gave Koenji time to recover, Koenji would definitely be exhausted by now.

After all, traveling for seven or eight days in a row is completely different from traveling for fourteen days in a row.

To make matters worse, Nagumo's scheme was seen through, and Ryuen, a second-year student, stuck to him like a leech, not only disrupting Nagumo's group's point-earning rhythm but also providing some assistance to Koenji.

Even when he saw Ryuen use his group's points to get a spot among the third-year students, he thought the guy was crazy.

When it comes to using the group's points, Ryuen is among the top five.

With a little effort, it's not impossible to break into the top three.

However, this guy gave up his chance to be in the top three in order to help Koenji, leaving the third-year students completely baffled.

The reason why the third graders are now helping Nagumo is partly because they are afraid of Nagumo, and partly because Nagumo promised to use their Private Points for class transfer.

This gave hope to the lower-ranked Class C and Class D, and given that there was no hope of turning the tide in the class struggle, some people supported Nagumo.

Could it be that Ryuen agreed to help Shuichi Kanda for this very reason?

That doesn't seem to be the case, because according to the information gathered by the third-year students, Ryuen isn't the kind of person who would easily submit to others.

You're the kind of person who, if pushed to the brink, would fight to the death to get your blood splattered all over you.

So even now, they still can't figure out why Ryuen would go to such lengths to help Shuichi Kanda, even refusing Nagumo's offer of 20 million points.

But at this point, that's no longer important.

The important thing is how to surpass Koenji in these last two or three days.

Conventional methods are probably not going to work, so there's only one possibility left—if you can't solve the problem, then eliminate the person who created it!

However, even so, one should try to avoid rough behavior. If a third-year student were to suddenly attack Kouenji and cause him to be injured and forced to leave the field, that would obviously be a problem.

If violence is used to prevent him from ranking among the top students, the school will definitely investigate the matter.

Everyone is working hard to graduate from Class A, and no one wants to drop out because of something like this.

"Kiriyama."

After thinking for a while, Nagumo made up his mind.

Do you have a solution?

Kiriyama, who was standing to the side, had a sudden thought and asked.

"Take some men and surround Koenji. Don't go too far; just make sure he can't move freely," Nagumo instructed matter-of-factly. "However, if you get the chance, don't hold back. Being defeated by him or defeating him are both good options."

Upon hearing Nagumo's words, Kiriyama's heart skipped a beat, and then he nodded.

"I understand, but you should be aware of Koenji's actions; I'm not sure I can succeed."

"Just do your best." Nagumo didn't seem to care about Kiriyama's answer. "But don't go easy on me, okay? Remember, you signed a contract with me. If you don't take it seriously, you'll be expelled along with me."

Kiriyama nodded, his face grim. "I know, you don't need to remind me!"

Watching Kiriyama's departing figure, Mizoe stepped forward. "Nagumo, can Kiriyama still be trusted?"

Mizoe did not doubt Kiriyama's abilities, but he did not fully trust Mizoe's loyalty.

"He had no choice. That man is the kind of person who would abandon his classmates for his own future, so why would he choose to drop out of school so easily?" Nagumo looked at Kiriyama's departing figure, his eyes revealing disdain.

"But if he really isn't a match for that Koenji..."

Nagumo paused for a moment, then narrowed his eyes. "Then I will personally take care of Koenji."

"Alright, let's get started. Let's get some rest today; we still need to rack up points tomorrow."

On the other side, Kiriyama took away all the boys from Class 3-B, which was all the strength he had to stop Koenji.

"What should we do? Kiriyama, that Nagumo guy is up to no good."

Mikitani, a student in Class 3-B, said this to Kiriyama while looking at Koenji's location on the tablet.

"We don't have a solution yet; let's find Koenji first."

Although Mikoto is a classmate, Kiriyama still doesn't intend to tell him about his plans.

After eleven days of wilderness survival training, most students were experiencing peak physical and mental stress.

Apart from students who intended to win, most students chose to withdraw or partially withdraw from the exam.

On the twelfth day, at 6:30 a. m., before the first location was announced, Kiriyama had already led all his forces to surround Koenji.

"How's the situation?"

"There seems to be no movement inside the tent. He's probably sleeping soundly. If he's sleeping all day because of health reasons, then we're at ease."

Mikitani started talking to the members of the fringe squad.

"I say, wouldn't it be better to surround him before he comes out? If we prevent him from packing his things, that guy Kouenji shouldn't be able to move."

The members of the independent squad also agreed with the suggestion made by Mikitani.

"That's right. If we hinder him from packing his things, it will slow him down his journey to the designated area. But what if others see us doing this? How are we supposed to explain it? We can't adopt a strategy that's obvious to others; we must do everything we can to avoid any behavior that violates the exam rules."

Kiriyama rejected Mikoki's suggestion without even thinking.

"We just need to do a GPS scan to confirm that no outsiders are present, right? Anyway, we have plenty of points we can give up."

Mikoki seemed somewhat dissatisfied with Kiriyama's rejection of his proposal, and thus vehemently objected.

Kiriyama, on the other hand, looked at him as if he were an idiot.
