In this jungle, it's incredibly easy to evade the sight of a few unprofessional guys. Once the time for capturing the stronghold is up, Kouenji can then take it over.

Furthermore, as long as the stronghold remains unoccupied, this area is a neutral zone. As long as the opposing leader has not yet captured it, the students of Class A have no reason to expel him.

If Kouenji can occupy the territory before the opposing leader does, he can rightfully expel these guys from Class A.

The only price he had to pay was exposing his identity as the "leader of Class D".

If they dare to resist, they could be charged with using another class's base.

In this way, Koenji only needs to report directly to the school and then deduct their initial points.

To avoid this, the students in Class A would absolutely not dare to act rashly, unless they were willing to give up their initial 270 points.

As the saying goes, those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to lose. Shuichi Kanda sold his shoes at the beginning, while Class A, having bought shoe covers from Ryuen at a high price, would never discard their shoes.

Therefore, even if Katsuragi knew what Shuichi Kanda was doing, he wouldn't be able to make a good decision.

Coming to compete with Kouenji? Don't be ridiculous. He would never do something like exposing the leader. And even if he did, so what?

As long as he still cares about his existing base of 270 points, he won't compete with Kouenji. If he fails to win, he will lose 50 initial points, which is not in his best interest.

Therefore, the only decision Katsuragi could make was to defend the cave, never allowing it to be lost, and to maintain his position as the leader of his class.

However, although he was holding the cave, he also had to keep a close watch on the movements of Kouenji. If Kouenji had any openings, he would take back the stronghold.

Shuichi Kanda also has some ideas about this, and he believes he will give Katsuragi a surprise.

Thus, on his first mission Kouenji seized four of Class A's strongholds, plus some remote strongholds that hadn't been occupied. Kouenji alone occupied six strongholds, which is equivalent to 6 temporary points. If he makes three trips a day, he'll have six days left.

With 6*3*6, Kouenji alone can obtain 108 temporary points, which is almost catching up with Class D's current 140 Class Points.

Although Kouenji's results were the best, he was not the first to return, not to mention Hirata and Kushida who were active nearby.

The first to return were Horikita and Ayanokoji, who were heading to the area west of Class B, so it seems things went quite smoothly.

No, it wasn't just smooth sailing; these two even "captured" the enemy leader alive.

Ichinose Honami and Kanzaki Ryuji were following behind the two when they arrived at Class D's camp. So what exactly happened?

Although seeing Horikita Suzune's sour face told me that something unexpected had happened, it still seemed a bit inappropriate to simply kidnap their leader.

"Hey, you two, wanna grab a bite together?"

After pouring a spoonful of beef curry onto the students carrying rice, Shuichi Kanda looked at Ichinose Honami and Kanzaki Ryuji who were walking over.

"This is still..."

"Then we won't stand on ceremony. Thank you for your hospitality, Kanda- kun."

Just as Kanzaki Ryuji was about to refuse, Ichinose Honami was standing next to him, smiled and agreed.

Shaking his head helplessly, Kanzaki Ryuji had no choice but to give up.

Chapter 105 The Powerful Kouenji

After accepting Shuichi Kanda's invitation to dinner, the two of them consciously joined the back of the line, took empty plates, and then got their own rice and started queuing at the very back.

Shuichi Kanda wasn't worried about the curry or rice being eaten up because he made a lot, and many people's portions weren't enough for one person.

It's okay if they really finish eating; that way, he can openly give special meals to the few combatants who went out to occupy the camp.

As a result, after everyone present had taken a serving of curry rice, only half of the curry had been used up. Considering that the boys might ask for more rice later, there shouldn't be any left over. Moreover, the people who went out all had pretty good appetites, so the portion control for this communal meal was quite good.

Even if there are any left, there won't be much.

"Hahahaha, hahahaha..."

Shuichi Kanda finished serving rice to Ichinose Honami and Kanzaki Ryuji, who had come to visit, a burst of laughter came from not far away, and then in the blink of an eye, it was right in front of them.

"It seems your work is going smoothly, Kouenji."

"Of course! With the beautiful me personally taking charge, things will naturally be done beautifully. All six strongholds have already been secured!"

The Kouenji who had just descended from the sky smoothed her beautiful long hair and then struck a graceful pose.

Upon hearing Kouenji's words, Shuichi Kanda smiled and couldn't help but Kouenji.

"So, beautiful Kouenji- san, would you like to take a shower first or have some food first?"

Koenji, who had expected to take a shower to refresh himself, gave Kouenji Shuichi Kanda unexpected choice.

"Eat! I could smell the curry from far away; it won't taste as good if I wait for it to cool down!"

After serving the meal at Kouenji, Sudo and Miyake returned from the southern beach.

"Kanda, Miyake and I have captured four camps in the south. It'll be midnight by now."

Before the person even got close, Sudo's loud voice started shouting, while Miyake was relatively calm.

Because Miyake had previously observed the island's terrain from the watchtower, finding it was relatively easy, and the two of them made a great haul.

However, after hearing Sudo's words, Horikita's expression turned somewhat ugly. Come to think of it, she didn't seem to have reported how many camps she had occupied.

It seems they suffered a setback at Ichinose's hands. It's possible that all the bases in that area have fallen into the hands of Class B, which is why Horikita brought Ichinose back as well.

After serving rice to the two of them, Shuichi Kanda served himself rice. There was no other way; as a chef, you either eat early or eat last.

While eating, he asked Miyake and Sudo about the trip.

Overall, everything went smoothly. The people from Ryuen seemed to have discovered the two's whereabouts, but they didn't do anything about it. It seems that the guy has no intention of breaking the agreement for the time being.

On Kouenji's side Shuichi Kanda handed over all authority to him, saying that as long as they didn't fight, he could do whatever he wanted. In response, Kouenji said, "Shuichi Kanda, although you are not as beautiful as me, you are still quite a beautiful person."

Okay, okay, stop praising me.

I know I'm handsome, why would I tell everyone?

The final question is about Class B. Since the other side came directly to the camp, Shuichi Kanda decided to talk to Ichinose in Ichinose to see what they were up to.

So, after handing over the task of cleaning the kitchen utensils to Hirata, Shuichi Kanda led Horikita Suzune, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji, Ichinose Honami, and Kanzaki Ryuji, the two guests from Class B, to a slightly quieter spot to sit down.

"So, you two aren't just here to freeload, are you?"

Kanda Hide started the conversation in a half-joking tone.

"Sorry, I didn't capture any outposts."

Horikita Suzune answered the question, but Shuichi Kanda had already considered this.

The reason is that after Class Ichinose occupied the initial stronghold, they did not immediately occupy other strongholds. Instead, they waited until they had almost finished taking care of everything before occupying the nearby strongholds.

Just as Shuichi Kanda had predicted, Ichinose immediately explained the reason, which was exactly the same as Shuichi Kanda's guess.

Then, feeling that she had not completed her mission, Horikita, somewhat agitated, went directly to Ichinose Honami, the leader of Class B, and proposed an operation to exchange supplies for bases.

Proposing this operation meant informing the other party of the multi-leader strategy, which is why they weren't surprised by what Rei said when Kouenji returned.

As for why the other party came directly, it's probably because they thought Horikita Suzune had no decision-making power.

After understanding the whole story, Shuichi Kanda knew Ichinose's thoughts.

"So, Ichinose, do you agree to cooperate with us?" Shuichi Kanda smiled. "Let me tell you what we can offer."

Next, Shuichi Kanda named a large number of supplies, including various food ingredients.

Because he had so many points, Shuichi Kanda exchanged everything except necessities for food. The school was right; 300 points of supplies were enough for the students to squander on the island for seven days.

In addition to the ingredients that can be purchased with points, there are also the island's own resources. Based on today's exploration, the island is very rich in resources, including orchards and even a large cornfield.

These areas have already been occupied by Class D, so to be honest, they have more food than they originally bought. Therefore, Shuichi Kanda plans to use these discovered resources to exchange with Class B.

"We only want the points for the stronghold, and the resources on it. Take whatever you want."

Faced with Shuichi Kanda's generosity, Ichinose was somewhat tempted. To be honest, Class B was already exhausted after organizing the well base and could not possibly carry out a large-scale exploration like Class D.

In this regard, Shuichi Kanda was actually somewhat relieved. Although Class D was known as a garbage dump, it unexpectedly had such a super warrior who could be put to good use.

On the other hand, although the average quality of Class B is much higher than that of Class D, there is zero top-tier combat power comparable to Kouenji.

If Kouenji is considered a top-tier athlete in terms of physical ability, then Sudo is a first-tier athlete, while Class B doesn't even have a first-tier athlete.

The most outstanding fighters in the class are only at the level of Hirata Miyake, so although Class B achieved some results on the first day, they were far inferior to Class D.

Chapter 106 Under the influence of sweet talk, Class B was lured into joining the cause.

Shuichi Kanda's conditions were too much for Ichinose Honami to refuse. In fact, she hadn't come to negotiate; she had only come to check on the situation in Class D.

Before she could even speak, Shuichi Kanda had already showered her with a barrage of sweet words, including support in terms of various equipment and wild resources from the island.

These are things that Class D discovered during their exploration today, and now the other party says they can give them to Class B for free.

Upon hearing about such abundant resources, not only Ichinose Honami, but even Kanzaki Ryuji standing nearby became restless.

Goodness, if all these things really fall into the hands of Class B, it could save them dozens of initial points.

Instead of going to the trouble of capturing those outposts, it's better to just take these readily available supplies.

Although the number of temporary points will definitely be more than the value of these supplies, they are still temporary points. If someone guesses the leader's name at the last minute, then all those things will be lost.

The aid that Shuichi Kanda providing now is real, tangible resources!

Ichinose Honami didn't have much ambition for this exam, was immediately interested.

It's not that our army is ineffective, but that the enemy has given us too much!

Oh no, we're allies!

Not the enemy!

"Okay, I understand. Since Kanda has said so, I'll agree." After thinking it through, Ichinose Honami readily agreed.

Seeing that Ichinose Honami agreed so easily, Shuichi Kanda raised an eyebrow; he still had many tricks up his sleeve.

For example, we haven't even used the fact that our class can cover everyone's lunch in your class as an incentive.

Meanwhile, Kanzaki Ryuji seemed unfazed, as if he had grown accustomed to Ichinose Honami's actions.

Horikita Suzune secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Ichinose Honami's reply. After all, this base was a task assigned to her, and if they couldn't reach an agreement in the end, she might feel even more useless.

She then clenched her fist, realizing she was still far from being good enough, before looking at Shuichi Kanda.

Is this why your brother values you?

That decisiveness is something I lack!

Hey, I advise you not to overthink it. Your brother values me for more than just that.

"Oh, right, since you're so agreeable, I'll give you another big gift."

Shuichi Kanda smiled, as if to say, "You guys got a great deal."

"No, that's too kind. We're already very grateful that you're allowing us to freely use the resources in the area occupied by Class D."

"That won't do. Some of the territory we've occupied originally belonged to Class B."

"But we've already obtained a lot of resources from Class D."

Ichinose Honami quickly waved her hand in refusal. Although the two sides were supposed to be cooperating, it seemed that Class B had been taking advantage of Class D all along.

No, to be precise, it was a one-sided assistance from Class D, even though we were the superior class. Therefore Ichinose Honami felt very embarrassed.

"No, no, no, please accept this generous gift. At least let me finish speaking first."

Shuichi Kanda's expression was very serious, and his tone was very firm.

Just kidding! If you don't listen, I'll give Class A an even bigger blow. This time, I'm going to give the left-behind girl a huge surprise.

After hearing what Shuichi Kanda said, Ichinose Honami was a little embarrassed, but after exchanging a glance with Kanzaki Ryuji, she nodded and decided to listen to what Shuichi Kanda had to say first.

"Please do, Kanda- kun."

It's safe!

"Ichinose Honami, you guys must really want to move up from Class B to Class A, right?"

"Of course! It's just that we didn't seize the opportunity during the last Midterm Exam, and to be honest, the students in the class were quite discouraged."

Ichinose Honami squinted and smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

Sigh, is Kanda planning to scold me for missing the chance last time?
