Then, feigning an opening in the attack, Tsukishiro suddenly lifted his foot, kicking up a cloud of sand that blocked Ayanokoji's view.

Then, a regretful smile appeared on his face, and he reached out his right hand to strike Ayanokoji.

However, what happened next was clearly different from what Tsukishiro had imagined.

Ayanokoji immediately grabbed his right arm after shaking off his arm, stopping his movement.

"Why do you know?"

The smile on Tsukishiro's face faded.

"I didn't know until you took it out. But why were you staring at your feet in this battle where there's not a single moment of respite?"

Your unusual behavior has struck me as odd. If you wanted to distract me with sand, you wouldn't need to look at my feet.

"Besides, you said from the beginning that you wouldn't use weapons, weren't you just trying to mislead me?"

As the dust settled, Tsukishiro's right hand held a high-voltage electric gun. If hit by this thing, Ayanokoji would undoubtedly lose consciousness instantly.

Then, Ayanokoji struck Tsukishiro's elbow with his other hand, causing Tsukishiro to involuntarily release his grip. Ayanokoji then quickly caught the stun gun and simultaneously dodged Mr. Suma's attack from behind.

This time, the situation reversed, and Ayanokoji, who had obtained the stun gun, had clearly gained the upper hand.

"And the way you deliberately took my hit also made me feel that something was wrong."

Without this caution, Ayanokoji would never have survived in the White Room.

"If I could, I wouldn't want to take this risk at all. This was originally just something to be used as insurance, but your strength is enough to make me anxious. After all, we don't have much time, and I simply can't afford to waste time with you."

As he spoke, Tsukishiro looked out at the distant sea, where a small boat was approaching, led by Chabashira Sae and Tomoya Mashima.

"Do you know I called the school teachers over?"

"Isn't this the obvious thing to do? After all, this is a great opportunity to kick me out of school." Tsukishiro said this, then gave Ayanokoji a meaningful look.

In fact, even if Ayanokoji hadn't notified Chabashira and Mashima, they would still have come.

Because Tsukishiro would personally send anonymous text messages to lure them over.

After all, the exam had seen the Komiya incident Nagumo incident, both of which resulted in injuries. If we told them that students from Class 2-A and Class 2-D were in danger in Area I2, they would definitely bring their people over without hesitation.

By creating leverage over himself beforehand, he could perfectly hand victory over to Ayanokoji. This stun gun was Tsukishiro deliberately brought out.

Seeing Tsukishiro's meaningful smile, Ayanokoji frowned, feeling a little strange— Tsukishiro, does he really want me to drop out of school?

"Acting Chairman Tsukishiro, do you really want me to drop out of school? It's true, you've used some very harsh methods, but if I were you, I would probably use some more practical approaches."

"You flatter me too much. I followed orders from above and did everything I could to get you expelled. However, I failed in my plan and suffered a crushing defeat in front of you."

Tsukishiro glanced at Mashima and Chabashira, who were disembarking from the ship, and blatantly lied.

Suma Norinori remained silent. He was Tsukishiro's subordinate, not a member of the White Room, so he never asked Tsukishiro what his plan was. He was simply following orders.

Since Tsukishiro has chosen to let Ayanokoji, Suma Norinori won't say anything more.

Tsukishiro slowly stood up, as if giving up the struggle, and raised her hands as she moved towards Mashima and the others.

"Nothing happened here. I was just chatting with Ayanokoji."

Do you think that's all there is to it?

"Even if you say that, it's already a decision. You teachers can't go against it. You should be glad I didn't."

Upon hearing Tsukishiro's words, Chabashira gave Ayanokoji and Shuichi Kanda a questioning look.

Ayanokoji looked at Shuichi Kanda, who nodded in agreement.

"Then let's retreat, after all, the students' exams aren't over yet."

After watching the adults leave, Shuichi Kanda looked at Ayanokoji with a smile.

"Well done!"

Ayanokoji nodded.

"Barely acceptable"

"This is barely passable?" Kiryuin stepped forward. "This level is barely passable? You two really are Versailles masters."

Then Kiryuin shook his head, deciding to stop thinking about it; it was too much of a blow.

Then she looked curiously at Shuichi Kanda and Ayanokoji: "Speaking of which, who's stronger between you two? How about we have a fight to settle things?"

Kiryuin Shuichi Kanda, and said calmly, "I don't know who's stronger, but it's obvious you're the weakest of the three here. Want to give it a try?"

Shuichi Kanda's words angered Kiryuin.

"Kanda, you're really not cute at all."

"I'm a boy, I don't need to be told I'm cute." Shuichi Kanda glanced at Kiryuin and said lazily, "Speaking of not being cute, aren't you the same?"

"I'm cute, I just haven't met a guy who makes me feel cute."

Upon hearing Kiryuin's statement, "I'm cute," Shuichi Kanda.

"If you have the chance, please let me meet the lovely Kiryuin- senpai."

"Oh? Are you openly declaring that you want to pursue me? I remember there were rumors that you've had several girlfriends."

Kiryuin wasn't angry at Shuichi Kanda's teasing; instead, he moved closer with interest.

"Precisely because there are several, one more won't make a difference, right?"

Looking at the two people in front of him, Ayanokoji just wanted some peace and quiet, and preferably, some real peace and quiet.

Chapter 325 Exam Results: Both in Class A, but the difference is enormous.

Having resolved this final problem, Ayanokoji breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Next, all he needs to do is return to the East Coast and wait for the exam to finish; he and Shuichi Kanda's group certainly won't be able to compete for the top three spots anyway.

They didn't care about the 50% or 70% reward, since Class A was lacking in everything except numbers.

With over 1300 Class Points, he can earn more than 130,000 Private Points every month. Even after paying 50,000 in class fees, he still has more than 80,000 in living expenses.

Furthermore, Ayanokoji is currently single and doesn't spend much, so she has no shortage of money.

Meanwhile, Kiryuin and Shuichi Kanda were still testing each other relentlessly.

"I said, we should go too, the exam ends at three o'clock."

Upon hearing Ayanokoji's words, Shuichi Kanda stopped looking at Kiryuin and turned to face Ayanokoji.

"Why are you leaving? You should at least have one last meal together, shouldn't you?"

"Uh, my backpack is empty."

"Alright, let's go then."

In reality, Shuichi Kanda bag, and it wouldn't be appropriate to openly use the Gourmet Tablecloth, so the three of them teamed up and set off from I2, heading south.

According to the original itinerary, Shuichi Kanda and his group were instructed to visit H3 and I4 on the morning of the last day, with their final destination being I6, located by the sea.

So the three of them went to the beach first, and then walked along the sand towards I6, ignoring the challenges they passed by, since they had plenty of points anyway.

"Isn't Kiryuin going to participate in the research project? Today is double points!"

"No need. I've already earned enough points to get into the top 30% and earn some pocket money."

Kiryuin didn't care at all. She had been observing Shuichi Kanda and Kiyotaka Ayanokoji the whole way, constantly thinking about who was stronger between the two.

"Is that so?" Shuichi Kanda smirked. "You probably don't know that most of the boys in your class colluded with Nagumo to frame others, do you?"

Kiryuin, looking puzzled.

She had always acted alone and was unaware of what Nagumo had done to Kouenji.

Although she saw through GPS that many students in Class 3-A and Class B had withdrawn from the exam, she did not know that so many students had been forced to withdraw.

Seeing Kiryuin's expression, Shuichi Kanda smiled, a feeling of satisfaction rising within him.

" In Class 3-B, almost all the boys, except for Kiriyama, were forced to withdraw from the exam."

Upon hearing Shuichi Kanda's words, Kiryuin froze instantly, his expression stiffening.

"You mean, they broke the rules?"

Seeing Kiryuin's expression, Shuichi Kanda's face lit up with even more pleasure, and he then told Kiryuin everything that had happened.

"Yes, it's them..."

After hearing Shuichi Kanda's words, Kiryuin really wanted to find Kiriyama and strangle him immediately. He had such a huge advantage, yet he still managed to create such an ugly situation.

Although she didn't care whether she graduated from Class A or not, she still had to make a living!

Nagumo's actions not only landed him in trouble by getting him expelled, but also dragged down Class A and Class B.

Disputes between students should ideally be decided by the Student Council President.

However, this whole affair was orchestrated by the Student Council President, so the Student Council has no right to intervene. The most likely outcome is that the school will simply announce the result.

Nagumo, the mastermind, was expelled on the spot, and will probably also have her Class Points deducted, but she doesn't care about that.

What she cared about were the other accomplices; what if they also had their Class Points deducted...? Even Kiryuin didn't want to think about the consequences.

Given their offenses, the punishment will likely be severe. What if Class B runs out of Class Points? How will they manage their living expenses then?

There are still more than six months until graduation, how am I supposed to live without any financial security? Do they really expect me to work hard? Damn it! Garbage Kiriyama, go to hell!

Seeing Kiryuin gradually put on the mask of pain, Shuichi Kanda felt even more pleased.

At 3 p. m., the 14-day-long Uninhabited Island Exam finally came to an end, and the students boarded the school's transport ship at the beach and returned to the port in the D9 area.

As soon as he disembarked, Kiryuin went to find Kiriyama in a fit of rage, and one could imagine that a bloody battle was about to unfold.

Shuichi Kanda and Ayanokoji returned to the ship early, took a good shower, and changed into comfortable casual clothes.

Damn it, let whoever wants to wear the sportswear wear it; Shuichi Kanda says he doesn't want to see it for at least a month.

At six o'clock in the evening, the setting sun dyed the sky red, and Shuichi Kanda's phone received a message from the school.

[All students who successfully passed the exam have safely returned to the ship. The results will be announced in ten minutes. Students who are interested should gather at the cinema.]

Upon seeing the news, Shuichi Kanda headed straight for the movie theater; he was naturally interested in it.

Inside the movie theater, there were fewer students than expected, mostly second-year students, with very few third-year students, and the number of first-year students was about the same as that of third-year students.

"Shuichi, here, here!"

Shuichi Kanda entered the movie theater, Kushida Kikyo excitedly waved her arms to greet him, with Kamuro Masumi Shuichi Kanda next to her.

There were other students from Class A around them. Although they looked a little tired, they were all very excited.

As for Ichinose, she was surrounded by her classmates, who were talking to her.

"You guys are up pretty early."

Shuichi Kanda walked over and sat down next to Kushida.

"Actually, after Ryuen squandered all of Xiao Mei's and my points, we withdrew from the exam," Kushida explained.

Before we'd even exchanged a few words, Chabashira-sensei appeared in front of us with her tablet. And although she was wearing sportswear when I last saw her, she'd changed back into her usual office lady uniform.

"Quiet, the exam results will now be announced."

As Chabashira-sensei's voice came from the speakers, the movie theater fell silent.

"First of all, congratulations on successfully completing the fourteen-day assessment on the Uninhabited Island. I'm sure you've learned a lot and grown during these days."

At this point, the students in the movie theater all nodded subconsciously.

"I hope you can keep it up in the future." After rambling on for a bit, Chabashira-sensei looked around, paused for a moment in Shuichi Kanda, and then returned his gaze to his tablet.

"Now, announce the results."

A tense atmosphere immediately filled the movie theater, especially among the students in Class 3-A. After losing Nagumo, their performance in the last two days was not good, so they didn't know if they could keep their top three positions.

The second-graders, on the other hand, were calm and collected, even showing a hint of anticipation.

"Third place: the first-year Jingu Yuki's group. The group consists of two people, both students from Class A. They earned a total of 200 Class Points, and each student earned 500,000 personal points."

Upon hearing this, Shuichi Kanda paused slightly, because he recognized the somewhat familiar name.

How did that stalker manage to get third place after teaming up with Amasawa?
