This guy understands me!

This guy understands me so well!

"Hahaha, Shuichi Kanda, you really are the guy I click with the most! How about it? Want to join Class C? I'll gather a measly 20 million points right away and show you!"

"There's no need to say that again. I'm quite content in Class D." Shuichi Kanda smiled, declining Ryuen's renewed offer.

"However, the guys in Class A might not believe that Miyake is the leader, because I've already sent Kouenji to raid their camp."

Um?

Etc!

What does this mean?

Go, raid the camp?

Isn't Miyake the leader of your Class D? Why did you send Kouenji to raid the camp?

"Dual leadership, Ryuen, you haven't considered this possibility, have you?"

"Wait a minute!"

Ryuen's voice grew low, and then there was silence.

About ten minutes later, Ryuen's voice rang out again, trembling with excitement.

"You're really capable, Shuichi Kanda!"

"It's a pity you made a deal with Katsuragi and spent a lot of points on food, drink, and entertainment. Otherwise, you could have done what I did, simply depleting your initial points and using temporary points to close the gap with the higher-ranked classes."

The 200-point trade was mentioned by Ryuen himself, while the information about spending all the remaining points was revealed by Ibuki when she first arrived to gain the trust of the Class D students.

It was precisely because Shuichi Kanda knew that Ryuen had run out of supplies to sustain life that he recklessly, even deliberately, told Ryuen about this.

In fact, Ryuen was also seething with hatred. He really didn't have many supplies left. He planned to stay behind alone to occupy the stronghold and then guess the leader's name at the end, so he only prepared enough supplies for one person.

Therefore, even knowing that Shuichi Kanda's exam would allow Class D to gain a large number of points, he could not follow suit.

As for Ibuki's claim that Ryuen planned to spend all his points and then have Class C forfeit, Shuichi Kanda said to just take it with a grain of salt; anyone who actually believed it would be a fool.

"What a clever plan, Shuichi Kanda."

"But you're not at a disadvantage either, are you?"

"You're right, I need a seven-day supply of water and food for myself. Prepare it for me." Ryuen demanded resources without any hesitation. "Also, investigate the identity of the leader of Class A."

"No problem, and this matter has already been completed. The leader of Class A is Yahiko Totsuka, Katsuragi's little sidekick."

Shuichi Kanda answered fluently.

"Oh? So fast?"

"Of course, now that I've decided to target Class A, I will naturally go all out."

In reality, it wasn't about going all out; it was just thanks to cutting-edge technology.

This brings us to Shuichi Kanda June – the Time TV.

This tool allows you to view events happening in a specific location within a given timeframe by simply inputting the location and time. However, it's not entirely comprehensive, so it can only view events that occurred in the past and cannot yet predict the future.

However, there is a price to pay. To view the past, you need to pay 100,000 Private Points for every minute you view it. After Shuichi Kanda graduates, the price will be 100,000 yen.

However, Shuichi Kanda commented that it was just a drop in the ocean.

Based on the intelligence sent back by the exploration team, Shuichi Kanda pinpointed the time and location and then witnessed Yahiko Totsuka using the key card to occupy the cave base.

Shuichi Kanda single tent mainly to conceal the matter, since the size of that thing was rather inconvenient; it simply couldn't fit into his backpack and was far too conspicuous.

So to this day, Shuichi Kanda has not claimed it. If it weren't for the Four-Dimensional Pocket he was suddenly given in August, this thing might never have been claimed.

"I need you to provide two more things. A photo of the key card for Kouenji and a photo of the key card for Miyake. Is that alright?"

"Photo?"

Shuichi Kanda looked at Ibuki and then saw her hands covered in mud.

"I need to check if the camera works first."

So he said to Ibuki, "Could you please make room for me, or are you planning to dig it out yourself for me?"

This feeling of being completely seen through annoyed Ibuki to no end. After clicking her tongue, she dug a camera out of the ground between her legs and tossed it to Shuichi Kanda.

Shuichi Kanda took out his camera and casually snapped a picture of Ibuki before starting to examine it.

"Is Ryuen still there?"

"It seems you've already made up your mind."

"Well, unfortunately, this camera takes photos with a time stamp, so I can only give you a photo of the key card for Kouenji for now."

Shuichi Kanda shook his head in regret.

"Then let Ibuki stay in Class D. Bring back Miyake's keycard photo the day before the exams end."

"No problem, I'll have Kouenji stop all activities before the photos are taken."

It's convenient to talk to Akito because you can follow their train of thought.

If he immediately received the information that Koenji was the leader of Class D, Katsuragi, being the composed man he is, would definitely suspect that Class D might be plotting something, so he might not believe it.

However, just before the end of the exam, the leader of Class D was suddenly changed. There is only one possibility: Class D had a plan to change the leader from the beginning, and Kouenji was just bait thrown out.

Therefore, at this point, even Katsuragi would assume that Class D had found a way to replace their leader, rather than realizing that both of them were imposters.

As for Kouenji's attempt to seize Class A's territory, that was to send a signal to Katsuragi, creating a misconception in Katsuragi.

That is -- Class D is willing to expose its leader in order to occupy a large number of strongholds, and then at the last moment, it achieves the goal of replacing the leader by having the former leader withdraw from the exam.

In this way, the newly emerging leader will absolutely be the final leader!

If Katsuragi thinks that way, then Class A will lose another fifty initial points!

What Ryuen Kakeru and Shuichi Kanda have to do these next few days is to make this idea take root in the minds of Katsuragi and even the entire Class A students!

Chapter 104 Everything is proceeding according to plan (3K)

Ryuen listened to Shuichi Kanda's words, he felt increasingly uneasy. "You've already found out the name of the leader of Class A on the very first day. It seems you can't hide the name of my leader either, can you?"

"You're not going to write my name on the last day, are you? Or is the name you gave me for the leader of Class A wrong?"

Hearing Ryuen's wary voice, Shuichi Kanda smiled. Here they come; Class D's last weakness is about to be eliminated.

"Of course not. If you don't believe me, we can draw up a written agreement."

Ryuen considered for a moment, then made up his mind. "Okay, you can send someone over tomorrow. Anyway, given your physical condition, it's probably difficult for you to come here."

Why does NM's Ryuen resort to personal attacks in its speech?

After hanging up the phone, Shuichi Kanda smiled.

"Akito, and Sudo, you two can set off now."

"That's it?"

Sudo was still somewhat skeptical.

"Yes, there's no need to sneak around when capturing outposts. Even if your keycard is exposed, Sudo, it's fine. I want Ryuen to know that I can not only create two leaders, but also more leaders."

Although he didn't quite understand, Sudo decided to do as Shuichi Kanda said, and Miyake naturally had no objections.

Although the collaboration seemed to be going smoothly, in reality, if it weren't for Shuichi Kanda's sudden and unconventional move of having multiple leaders, Ryuen would probably have stabbed himself in the back at the last minute.

Shuichi Kanda still had a lot of faith in that guy's character, though in a negative way, of course.

So, with both of them targeting Class A, Shuichi Kanda obtained information about the leader of Class A, while Ryuen instructed Class A to write Akito Miyake's name at the last minute.

This is cooperation, and whether or not one can gain any other benefits from this cooperation depends on their own abilities.

Shuichi Kanda chose to acquire a large number of temporary points and then convert them into Class Points.

Ryuen extracts a large number of Private Points from Class A, and they do so every month.

Of course, the cooperation can't end there. We've already secretly sabotaged Class A, how could Class B possibly escape unscathed?

So Shuichi Kanda would also tell Class B about the leader of Class A, so that Class B could also jump on Class A's corpse a couple of times.

However, this would leave Class B in a dominant position. But it doesn't matter, because Ryuen has also planted spies in Class B, and the leader of Class B can no longer be protected. Therefore, Class B will also suffer a severe blow.

Although he really wanted to betray Ryuen as well, since Ryuen had offered a signed document, it effectively shut down Shuichi Kanda's plan.

With his methods, he wouldn't give Shuichi Kanda any chance to betray him. Conversely, Shuichi Kanda was also afraid that Ryuen might just be guessing the leader of Class D by sheer luck.

Therefore, this agreement will stipulate that the two parties cannot guess who the leader of the other's class is, nor can they leak each other's information.

Therefore, this collaboration between the two will not result in them stabbing each other in the back when it comes to dividing the spoils.

So, if this plan goes smoothly, then Class C and Class D will both be winners, Class B won't lose too badly, and Class A...

Never mind, that scene feels a bit cruel.

After speaking with Ryuen, a fire had already been lit at the pond. Once the flames were burning and the smoke from the bonfire was visible, Koenji and the others who had gone out for their activities wouldn't get lost and could quickly find their way.

Although we don't need these things for cooking, some people in the class have bought fishing rods and nets, so maybe we can catch some river fish.

In that case, we can use this fire to grill fish.

After using the points, the entire set of kitchen utensils was set up in no time, and even a rainproof canopy was installed.

Some girls are washing vegetables right now; it seems the boys in this class are all the kind who can't cook.

In fact, with Horikita's help, Shuichi Kanda could easily make curry for forty or more people.

However, Horikita went to occupy the base near Class B, so someone else had to come and help out. And this person who came to help out turned out to be Kushida's best friend, Wang Xiaomei.

It's clear that the other person is very meticulous in handling the ingredients, using filtered river water to thoroughly wash them. They seem to be someone who knows how to cook.

That's true. For an international student, if they crave food from their hometown, cooking it themselves is much more reliable than buying it from outside.

"Thank you all for your help. You can leave the rest to me."

Looking at the pile of vegetarian dishes and a piece of beef brisket already placed on the table, Shuichi Kanda already had an idea.

Is curry really considered a dish?

Sometimes Shuichi Kanda thinks this way because the steps are just too simple.

Today I made curry beef brisket.

Although the steps are simple, it still takes quite a while to marinate the beef brisket from the very beginning.

Moreover, making curry for more than forty people at once is even more difficult.

Fortunately, Shuichi Kanda, so it wasn't too difficult, just a bit energy-consuming.

"It smells so good!"

"Yes, yes, I can smell it too!"

Because they had been busy, the students had eaten breakfast on the ship but not lunch. So when the aroma of curry wafted out of the pot, almost all the students subconsciously swallowed.

Then everyone waited for the curry to finally be ready.

Looking at this bunch of hungry little guys, Shuichi Kanda moment.

"Stop standing around here. The curry needs to simmer for another ten minutes or so. Can't you serve the rice in the meantime?"

Upon hearing Shuichi Kanda's reprimand, the students scattered and began to fill their plates with rice.

This is the person who has provided me with food and clothing for the past seven days on this island. I can't afford to offend him. Do I still want to eat? Hmm?

The rice is cooked in a large kitchen appliance. As long as you control the amount of water and rice, you can cook a large amount of rice at once, which is definitely enough for 40 people under normal circumstances.

As for the rest, it's fine. At worst, you can just add water and cook it into porridge the next morning. With the freezer, there's no need to worry about it spoiling.

While the cooking operation was in full swing at Class D's camp, Kouenji had already arrived at the camp near Class A's.

After observation, Kouenji discovered that all the nearby strongholds had been occupied by Class A, and that they had even arranged for people to stake out the area to prevent others from sneaking in.

"How unattractive, Class A."

But who is Kouenji?
