Class A: Excellent, the Plan Worked!

"Even if we can't take back the stronghold, we must confirm the enemy's identity. Once we confirm their identity, we can turn the tables on them at the last minute."

That's right, they were killed before they could even identify the intruders.

Kouenji used the blind spot of the monitors to seize the base, then made a commotion to let the monitors of Class A know that the base had changed hands. Fearing that they would lose fifty points, the monitors panicked and immediately left the base.

As for why the monitors didn't guard the stronghold, it's quite simple: they never even considered the possibility of it being captured right under their noses.

Their main purpose in guarding the stronghold was simply to prevent students from other classes from infiltrating and discovering their leader.

However, the base is so large, while Class A has a limited number of people, so they have to be spread out to monitor the entire base.

This created an opportunity for Kouenji, and Kouenji, in turn, seized the opportunity.

This has led to the current situation— Kouenji has taken over the enemy's base right under the noses of the Class A students, but the Class A students have not discovered Kouenji's identity.

However, they didn't care about that, because even though they were caught off guard by Kouenji at the beginning, they were still students of Class A.

Once you realize the situation, even if the opponent is too powerful to take back the territory, you will still have ways to counterattack.

That means sneaking into these places, witnessing the other party swiping their card, and confirming their leader. Even if you lose the temporary points that should have been earned for these territories, it's still worth it.

Damn Class D, I'll make sure you fail at the last minute!

The students in Class A were all fired up after hearing Katsuragi's plan.

"The next stronghold will refresh between 2 AM and 3 AM, but I don't recommend catching them in the act at that time."

Seeing how motivated his classmates were, Katsuragi poured cold water on their enthusiasm.

"Huh? Observing in the shadows would be much more discreet at night, wouldn't it?"

"But if the other side is disguised, it will also be disadvantageous for us. Besides, everyone is tired after a long day, and it would be too dangerous to go and monitor them at night."

Besides, if they don't come, it's just a waste of our energy. If we miss the roll call at 8 a. m. tomorrow because of it, it would be even more of a loss."

Katsuragi's reasons were valid, and they were indeed very tired. A whole day of continuous exploration had already exhausted their bodies, and they had only been too angry to feel tired just now.

Not everyone is a monster like Kouenji, so after Katsuragi persuaded them, they all gave up the idea of monitoring the base at night.

After Matsushita a bit, the students in Class A all felt a wave of fatigue wash over them.

After saying goodbye, they found a place to rest for a while before going to eat.

The first day of the Uninhabited Island Exam passed quickly, leaving everyone exhausted.

After deciding on the night watchmen for the first and second halves of the night, Class D went back to rest.

At 2 a. m., the special personnel of Class D were led out of their respective tents by the night watchmen and prepared to head towards their destinations.

Not only could they obtain temporary points, but they could also receive Private Points as a reward. With this double benefit, even Ike and Yamauchi were excited and did not neglect their duties at all.

Among them, Kouenji woke up on his own ahead of time, and judging from the expression on his face, he didn't look tired at all.

Visibility is poor at night, so even with a flashlight, you can't walk too fast.

Well, except for Kouenji. This guy moves through the forest like Tarzan in the faint moonlight, appearing and disappearing without a trace. Even if someone is watching him, they would probably just hear the leaves rustling and then be gone.

Therefore, although Kouenji had the heaviest task, he was the first to return to the camp.

The other groups returned around the same time. Although the Ike and Yamauchi groups were the closest, they were unfamiliar with the route since it was their first time, so they wasted some time.

Chapter 110 Class A: Excellent, plan works!

Because they had gone to bed early the previous day, the students in Class A woke up early in the morning, and the heat of the island made it impossible for them to continue sleeping.

Katsuragi's first order after most of the students woke up was to check whether the previously captured strongholds had been recaptured.

Meanwhile, the first group of people who went out to investigate have already returned.

"Katsuragi, those strongholds have all been recaptured by Class D. There's no one guarding them. The next time we can retake them is between nine and ten o'clock."

As one exploration team after another returned, Katsuragi gradually grasped the whole picture: Class D was planning to acquire temporary points by occupying a large number of strongholds, and wanted to use this to narrow the gap with other classes.

This is undoubtedly a good method. If implemented properly, this one exam alone can directly narrow the gap with other classes.

It must be said that the person who devised this plan in Class D was a very decisive and capable individual, and Katsuragi deeply admired him.

But you really underestimate Class A! You brazenly took our stronghold right under our noses.

Since you're so arrogant, then I won't be polite. I'm going to find your leader and write his name down on the last day, so your plans will all fall apart!

Although he had made up his mind and made a plan, Katsuragi remained calm.

"In that case, everyone take a rest first. After breakfast and roll call, we'll set off to monitor those outposts."

In Class D, Shuichi Kanda woke up much earlier than expected, at least much earlier than he would at school.

Although he still wanted to sleep, the hot summer heat gradually made Shuichi Kanda's sleepiness fade, and he also had to prepare breakfast for forty people, so he couldn't continue sleeping no matter what.

So, Shuichi Kanda rubbed his eyes, unzipped the tent, and came out.

I gave a comfortable yawn, stretched, and then took a deep breath of fresh air.

Because Class D used all 300 initial points, they bought several small tents. Although small, they were not too crowded for two people to sleep in, thus avoiding the situation of students being crammed together in the large tents.

Furthermore, when Ichinose was here yesterday, she gave the students in Class D an idea: to obtain an unlimited supply of feminine hygiene products and plastic bags from Chabashira-sensei.

Then, combine them to make a simple mattress and place it under the tent.

Thanks to this, Shuichi Kanda was able to get a good night's sleep. Although it wasn't as comfortable as the bed at school, it was still quite good for a camping trip.

As for the large quantities of feminine hygiene products and plastic bags, they can eventually be recycled.

After taking Shuichi Kanda heard a familiar voice.

"Are you awake? If you are, come and help."

Um?

Horikita- san, you're up so early! And, help? Help with what?

Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw Horikita already busy in the makeshift kitchen, clearly preparing breakfast.

"Are you going to cook for me? But even so, I won't give you any extra Private Points."

Horikita Suzune didn't stop what she was doing even after hearing Shuichi Kanda's words.

"I just feel so useless. It was all thanks to you that we were able to successfully take over Class B's base, so I wanted to do something in return."

Okay, Horikita- san, whatever makes you happy.

"I'll go wash my face by the river first, you go ahead with your work."

The river water was very cold in the early morning. The moment his fingers touched it, it brought a coolness to Shuichi Kanda's somewhat feverish body. Then, he scooped up a handful of river water and splashed it on his face, which made Shuichi Kanda feel refreshed.

Camping is so great!

Back at the camp, Horikita Suzune was still busy.

For breakfast this morning, it was oden, and Horikita Suzune was currently skewering the ingredients onto a skewer.

To make oden, all you need to do is prepare the broth, skewer the ingredients, and cook them in it.

At that time, students can simply take whatever they want to eat.

But...

"Are you preparing so much food to feed everyone for seven days?"

"Is it not allowed?"

Horikita Suzune turned her head and looked over, her face full of confusion.

Sure, of course you can. It's just eating oden for seven days in a row, right?

After using a hairband to fix his slightly damp bangs to his forehead, Shuichi Kanda also began to help Horikita Suzune with her work.

As time went on, most of the students woke up from their sleep.

Of course, some people are also attracted by the aroma of the food.

Horikita's culinary skills had also been recognized by Shuichi Kanda; that pot of broth was incredibly delicious, and after boiling, the aroma it released filled the entire camp.

"Is today's breakfast oden? It looks like a big feast."

"No, no, I'm hungry, I really want to eat!"

"Let me help too."

Go wash your hands first!

Horikita Suzune's oden won unanimous praise, and even Kushida didn't find any fault with it, so it seems to be really good.

No, is it possible that she thinks Shuichi Kanda did it?

However, that's not wrong, because the broth was made by Shuichi Kanda, who also added red dates and ginger.

Even though it's summer, sleeping on the ground inevitably exposes you to moisture, so drinking some of these things is a good idea.

At nine o'clock in the morning, after lunch and roll call, the students were free to do as they pleased; some went to the river to fish or catch fish.

Some people choose to explore the island; since it's an artificial island, there shouldn't be any large wild animals, and it's safe as long as they don't get lost.

Meanwhile, Kouenji and the others were all ready to launch their attack.

On the north side of the island, near the Class A cave camp, a number of Class A students are lurking in ambush.

They were waiting, waiting for the student from Class D to appear here.

That despicable fellow, I must see through your true colors.

Apart from Katsuragi himself, most of the people who came this time were students of the Sakayanagi Faction.

Most surprisingly, Yahiko Totsuka did not travel with him this time.

Because the time it took to occupy the camp inside Class A's cave was almost the same as the time it took to occupy these places outside, Katsuragi was scared.

He feared this was a trap set by the enemy, a feint attack.

If the enemy manages to seize the cave because the leader of Class A is not there, then we will truly suffer a complete loss, losing everything.

Therefore, as the leader of Class A, Yahiko Totsuka could not leave the cave under any circumstances, and had to prioritize the safety of the base.

As for changing the occupation time, that's even more insecure.

Since the enemy dared to occupy all the strongholds outside the cave right under their noses, they might be able to steal their homes while they were sleeping.

That was when I truly felt like crying but had no tears left to shed.

In fact, Shuichi Kanda had considered such a operation, but in the end, even he himself felt that it was a bit insane, so he abandoned the idea.

If you actually do that, the white-haired loli will probably cry.

Okay, actually, Shuichi Kanda wasn't worried about the white-haired loli crying, but rather that those guys in Class A might do something desperate, and then his side would probably be dragged down with them.

No, the worst-case scenario is that all four classes are wiped out.

Therefore, it's always better to leave someone a way out and give them hope, even if that hope is fabricated by Shuichi Kanda.

Five minutes left.

Looking at the time on his bracelet, Katsuragi concealed himself in the dense bushes, even regulating his breathing to be extremely faint.

This time, we must see through their true colors. As long as we don't let them discover our true intentions, we can turn the tables at the last moment.

However, if they are unfortunately discovered, the enemy may try to replace the leader at the last minute. Therefore, this operation requires not only seeing the enemy's appearance but also avoiding being discovered by them.

Five minutes felt incredibly long for Katsuragi; every second felt like an hour, as if he were under a spell.

Even so, Katsuragi maintained his own rhythm without showing the slightest impatience. At this moment, he was the hunter, but if he didn't stop, he might become the prey.

"Whoosh!"

A strange sound rang out above Katsuragi quickly looked up and then a figure flashed into his field of vision.

The figure was heading in the direction of the card reader at the outpost that Katsuragi had been watching.

"Bang!"

A dull thud came from beneath the figure's feet, and at the same time, Katsuragi took in the figure's appearance.
