Sakayanagi Arisu: So Lonely

Ryuen Kakeru was not afraid of this matter being exposed, nor was he afraid of causing turmoil in Class D.

He has plenty of ways to suppress those people.

Moreover, he didn't say he would take it all for himself; giving them half would be enough to keep them in check.

"Are you kidding me!"

Yahiko immediately flew into a rage. "How could we possibly agree to something like this! Do you think we're fools?"

"Katsuragi, we absolutely cannot agree to him!"

Yahiko roared, glaring fiercely at Ryuen like a vicious dog.

Ryuen never glanced at him once, while Katsuragi kept his head down, lost in thought.

He had to admit that the conditions at Ryuen were very tempting.

On the surface, if the initial 300 points from this exam are saved and ultimately added to the class score, then it's equivalent to each person gaining an extra 30,000 points every month.

For students in Class A, the amount of living expenses is not important; what matters is their class ranking score.

This is the standard for maintaining the unknown status of Class A.

Only.

Even Yahiko could see that something was wrong.

Although it seems like a good proposal, once the deal is agreed upon, Ryuen will receive 1.2 million points from Class A every month, without missing a single one.

However, in this exam, Class A cannot guarantee that they can save those 300 points.

Rather, it's more accurate to say...

Class A's initial score of 300 points has already been reduced by 30 points due to Sakayanagi's absence, and Yahiko has had 50 points deducted.

Only 220 points remain.

There is no advantage anymore.

At the same time.

This is only the first day of the exam, and it hasn't even been three hours yet.

So, there are risks in the exam process. For example, there may be any violations that happen during these seven days, or someone may have to withdraw from the exam due to illness, or there may be a problem with the final team leader guessing game.

They might guess the wrong team leader from another class, or have their team leader guessed correctly by another class.

Points will be deducted!

In other words, even if they agree to Ryuen's offer, the class's initial 220 points may end up being completely depleted.

This is a gamble.

A high-stakes gamble.

Ryuen can reap all the benefits, but Class A might lose everything.

Moreover, Katsuragi is just steady, not stupid.

This means that Class A took on the risk that should have belonged to Ryuen, which is a double risk.

This condition is completely unfair to Class A.

Even less friendly.

But Katsuragi was still tempted.

Because I can't afford to lose this exam. My repeated failures could easily cause my classmates to distrust me.

Meanwhile, Class C has occupied a bit too many strongholds. Although he confirmed that the leader's identity was Kōenji, it was still unsettling not to be able to definitively reduce the enemy's strongholds to zero.

And,

Katsuragi also needs this stable means, because as long as he stays on the island, he will definitely have to spend money. After deducting these expenses, there won't be many points left after the 7-day exam. Therefore, Katsuragi was forced to come here to exchange for supplies.

Even if they don't agree to Ryuen, their class's initial points will continue to be depleted.

Is the money being given to Ryuen off-site, or is this exam simply a forced continuation of the drain?

"So? What's your decision?"

Ryuen wore a calm smile, looking confident and composed.

He knew that Katsuragi wouldn't refuse.

Because he was well aware of the current situation in Class A, Sakayanagi Arisu, the representative of the Sakayanagi Faction, did not come, but Katsuragi's side did not gain any advantage at all.

On the contrary, it all seems to be a disadvantage.

Katsuragi is under a lot of pressure.

"The deal is possible."

Katsuragi finally spoke slowly, his voice still steady, "But three hundred points is too many, we can't use that many."

"And."

Katsuragi said, "We bear all the risks, while you bear absolutely no risk."

"So my request is that you do everything you can to find out the identities of the team leaders of Class B and Class C, and then tell me," Katsuragi said.

"Oh?" Ryuen grinned.

Katsuragi and he were thinking the same thing.

Yes.

This is the solution that Ryuen came up with for this exam.

1. First, ensure your class receives a minimum guarantee. This means trading your initial points with other classes for a fixed and stable monthly living allowance.

Since staying here will incur costs, the initial points are generally not saved, so it's better to just exchange them for money.

2. Continue the test and enter the stage of capturing strongholds and guessing the leader. The stronghold part may be more difficult, but guessing the leader can continue.

So.

"Okay," Ryuen said. "I will arrange for my people to gather information on the leaders of the other classes."

"Then I'll let you know after I confirm the results."

Chapter 120 Sakayanagi Arisu: So Lonely

"So that's settled then. You will provide our Class A with supplies worth 200 initial points, and we will pay you a total of 400,000 Private Points every month until graduation."

Katsuragi said.

According to Katsuragi's calculations.

Since Sakayanagi didn't come to Class A, if all the food and water consumed by the 39 students each day were exchanged for points...

In a week, you'll need to use about 140 points.

Then other facilities, such as adding tents, toilets, and showers, also require points.

All things considered, 200 points is enough.

No more is needed.

Although if you trade 300 points with Ryuen, you can spend all of Ryuen's class's initial points.

The cost to one's own side is Private Points, but it causes the Ryuen's class to lose its initial points.

Therefore, when the scores are tallied at the end of the exam, Ryuen's class will definitely be in last place.

However, the Ryuen's class already has a score of 0, so it is not an object of concern.

Therefore, depleting the initial points of the Dragon Ryuen's class is already a significant blow to them. It doesn't require your own class to spend extra money.

For Class A, there are two ways to maintain their status.

First, our class achieved a very high score, maintaining a distance from other classes.

Second, let the other classes fall behind.

Therefore, if Ryuen's class doesn't improve in this exam, it will actually benefit Class A.

Therefore, there is no need to spend 300 points to do something that can be done by paying only 200 points.

Especially...

He did indeed fail this time. He had arranged for someone to contact the upperclassmen and knew that there would be Island Exam, but he failed to demonstrate his advantage.

The agreement signed with Ryuen covers the entire class, including both students who support him and those who do not.

Therefore, the cost must be spent wisely. Paying too much will make the students dissatisfied.

Katsuragi didn't want to leave any reason for criticism.

So.

Logically, if neither party has any objections, then an agreement can be signed.

But Ryuen was not willing to end it like this.

Because his plan was to sell off all of Class D and have everyone forfeit.

Then they could return to the ship to enjoy a pleasant week-long vacation.

So, the fact that Katsuragi refused to accept their 300 points but instead accepted 200 points was not in his best interest.

If all 300 points were traded, he could keep half of the income for himself and then distribute it among the students in the class, ensuring each student receives a minimum of 15,000 yuan for living expenses.

15,000 yuan is not a lot for living expenses, but it's enough to get by.

In addition, his authority over the students in the class also helps him keep them in check.

As a result, now that the score is 200, he takes half and gives each student in the class 10,000 yuan for living expenses. 10,000 yuan is not enough for living expenses. And if people find out that he took half of the income, it will cause them to be dissatisfied.

Although he is good at fighting, Ryuen doesn't want to fight all the time.

Therefore, the best solution is to let your subordinates get by and then motivate them.

Therefore, the deal that Katsuragi was only willing to exchange for 200 points was not what he wanted.

"Oh, I forgot."

Ryuen then deliberately feigned a look of sudden realization and chuckled, "Sakayanagi didn't come, right? Since she didn't come, your class should have lost thirty points from the start, leaving you with only two hundred and seventy points? Well, two hundred and seventy points it is then, how about that?"

"..."

Upon hearing Ryuen mention Sakayanagi's name, Katsuragi's face darkened, and Yahiko lowered his head, meekly agreeing without offering any objection.

However, this time it wasn't because I heard Sakayanagi's name, but because Ryuen mentioned that their class's initial points had changed from 300 to 270.

Because the actual score is not 270, but 220.

Because the scores for each class will not be released before the exam ends.

So Ryuen is unaware that they have been penalized.

"Two hundred points," Katsuragi continued. "After all, we also have to bear a lot of risk."

"Two hundred points is enough to meet the needs of a class in terms of supplies."

"And your class, Ryuen, needs supplies too, right?" Katsuragi said, maintaining his composure. "If you give us all the supplies, do you want to starve?"

Of course, they'd be left with nothing but the northwest wind.

Because Ryuen never intended to leave any supplies for his class.

Because.

Once all the points are spent and the balance is reduced to zero, it doesn't matter if the students break the rules anymore. So, the person chosen to act as a spy can be left behind, and the other classmates can go directly back to the ship.

As for spies, if they're spies, then of course they're just trying to steal supplies from the target class. Why would they prepare their own?

Therefore...

He doesn't actually need to exchange supplies.

Then let's give Katsuragi a drastic measure.

"A trade for 200 points...that's fine," Ryuen said.

"Then let's sign the contract quickly." But Yahiko, who was standing next to Katsuragi, interjected.
