Although this is Class B's camp, don't forget that Horikita was tricked by Hachiman into memorizing the entire grade's roster.

So she realized that the boy was not a student in Class B.

It was a boy named Kaneda from Ryuen Class.

"Yes, Kaneda is a student in Class D."

Ichinose smiled and explained, "It's said that he had a conflict with Ryuen and was kicked out by Ryuen. Then Ryuen and the others forfeited, leaving him all alone. Well... since we've run into him, we can't just leave him there, can we?"

Ichinose's actions and words seem very much like those of a saint.

However, this reassured Hachiman, Horikita, and Kushida.

Although Ryuen's class forfeited, Hachiman's theory at the time was that Ryuen was definitely still on the island.

Then it was also said that Ibuki was a spy.

The communication device can be identified from the small cloth bag that Ibuki buried.

And now.

There's also a student from Ryuen's class in Class B. It's now confirmed that Ryuen deliberately planted spies in other classes to obtain information about their team leaders.

Obtaining the leader information of the Hachiman class can invalidate base points.

However, Class B doesn't have many base points either, so the goal is to guess the base correctly so that Class B loses 50 points while he gains 50 points.

Ryuen's ambitions are indeed grand. They've sold out their initial points and still want to score more; this "0-point battle" is a complete sham.

"Oh, so you're a student from Class D."

Hachiman looked knowing and smiled, saying, "It's quite a coincidence that our class also took in a student from Class D. Her name is Ibuki. Like Kaneda, she was kicked out for rebelling against Ryuen. However, Ibuki's situation is worse; it seems she was assaulted by Ryuen."

"Is that so? That's really pitiful."

Ichinose pursed her lips, saying with some pity, "To run into someone like Ryuen, the people in Class D are really unlucky."

"..."

Hachiman.

He deliberately pointed out that his class had also taken in a student from the Ryuen's class, just to make you more vigilant.

But you've started to sympathize with the spies.

Previously, Hachiman had thought of not giving too much aid to Class B, keeping their score from rising too quickly so that he could defeat Class B easily. However, Hachiman now feels that even if he gives Class B a lot of points, they will all be deducted because of his saintly attitude.

I originally chose a class that seemed good to join my alliance, but suddenly I felt that Class B might also be a drag on the team.

But.

The important thing now is to cooperate. Let's first mess with Class A and annoy Ryuen.

So.

Hachiman looked around and asked, seemingly casually, "Who is your class leader?"

"..."X4

In an instant, Ichinose Kanzaki Class B, as well as Horikita and Kushida who came with Hachiman, were all stunned.

Is it something you can just ask directly?

Chapter 132 Kushida: I'm about to suffocate! (Middle!)

In the "Guess the Team Leader" game, if another class guesses the leader correctly, 50 points will be deducted. Additionally, any points already earned in the base will be reset to zero.

If the team leader's information is shared with other classes, more points will be deducted.

So now it's no use for Class B to save their initial points.

So for a moment, the atmosphere around us seemed to freeze.

But.

"First of all, let me clarify," Hachiman said, knowing his question was presumptuous. "Our two classes won't guess each other's team leaders."

"Oh."

This relieved Ichinose and Kanzaki.

Because Class C had a significant advantage in this exam, when Hachiman came to investigate, they were a little worried that their team leader information might have been leaked.

And now.

Since we're allies, we don't try to guess who the other's team leader is.

That's really reassuring.

"Oh, this one."

Ichinose, then, like an innocent and carefree girl, said without any guard, "It's Chihiro Shiranam, you should know her Hachiman, right?"

"Ichinose!"

Ryuji Kanzaki hesitated, his heart filled with shock and disorientation, unsure of what to do.

Even if two classes are allies and don't suspect each other's team leaders, there's no need to reveal their team leader's information.

He then quickly looked at Ichinose, Ichinose was still smiling.

He suddenly realized.

He knew that it was true that Chihiro Shiranam was the leader, as Ichinose had said, but Ichinose's direct statement might have been a calculated move.

Because Hachiman suddenly asked about their class leader.

So.

He said a name.

He said Chihiro Shiranam's name, and he wasn't lying.

But.

What is real is made to appear unreal, and what is unreal is made to appear real. Ichinose told Hachiman Hikigaya, but would they dare to believe him?

I can't be sure.

Look at Horikita's expression.

"Shiranami Qian Jiu Xun? Is this bait being thrown out?"

Horikita was clearly thinking the same thing as Ryuji Kanzaki, and he lowered his head, lost in thought.

They didn't believe that Ichinose would so easily tell them the team leader's information.

And.

Although Ichinose looks like a pure white lotus flower, like an angel.

However, this is important information for my own class, and there's no need to reveal it just because of a question from Hachiman.

And.

Because Kaneda was taken in by Class B, her opinion of Class B dropped somewhat.

Because some people in your class are Ibuki and full of saints, is your Class B the same?

Horikita felt that being too saintly wouldn't be good for survival.

However, Ichinose is, after all, a representative of Class B, so he cannot be completely underestimated.

Hachiman has said more than once that she looks down on others too much, so we should be careful.

So.

Observe Ichinose carefully now.

Upon closer examination, it becomes clear that if Chihiro Shiranam was the team leader, then she had just asked Kaneda to help Chihiro Shiranam.

This is outrageous!

She didn't believe Ichinose's words at all.

Therefore, the information about the team leader Chihiro Shiranam may be false.

But.

"Thank you for your honesty," Hachiman said. "Then you should find a way to change your leader."

"Please understand the rule that the team leader cannot be changed without a valid reason."

"Because I think your class leader's information will be leaked," Hachiman said.

"Huh?" X2

These words startled both Ichinose and Kanzaki.

"You mean to say..."

"As I just mentioned, my class took in a student named Ibuki who opposes Ryuen, and now your class has also taken in a student who opposes Ryuen."

"I think they are all spies," Hachiman said.

As he said this, Hachiman looked at Horikita.

Horikita seemed to be still in a daze, so he looked at Kushida.

Kushida noticed Hachiman's gaze and said, "Actually, before we came here, we went to a place and dug up a camera and a walkie-talkie."

"When I found Ibuki yesterday, her hands were very dirty, covered in mud. It didn't look like she had fallen and gotten them, but more like she was burying something."

"So today we dug around the place where we found her and found this evidence," Kushida said.

"Is that so...?"

Meanwhile, Ryuji Kanzaki began to recall Kaneda's condition when he took Kaneda in.

Kaneda's hands were also covered in mud.

If he had been hit, he would only have been covered in dirt, but the dirt on Kaneda's hands had reached his wrists.

It really does look like something is buried there.

"This news is very important," Kanzaki said quickly.

Then his complexion became very bad.

Because no one expected that the kind-hearted Class B was only taking in students from Class D out of goodwill, but ended up being spyed.

Kaneda had already been at the camp for a day, so his class leader's information might have been leaked.

So, all the hard work we've put in to save up our initial points is going to be deducted?

"If we can change the team leader, then you can be sure you won't lose points," Hachiman said. "And then, here comes the important part."

"This time, besides investigating and telling you that Ibuki and Kaneda are spies,..."

"And another thing is to make a deal with you," Hachiman said.

"I will provide information on the team leaders for Class A and Class D the night before the exam ends."

"Then you will participate in the guessing game of the team leader, and you can get a reward of 100 points."

"Then."

"I'll take this perfect score," Hachiman said.

"What's the meaning?"

Ichinose and Kanzaki were still reeling from the fact that their saintly saint had discovered a spy, and now they were puzzled by Hachiman said.

If their class guesses correctly and gets the team leader's points, shouldn't those points be theirs?

"I have information on the team leaders of Class A and Ryuen's class," Hachiman said. "If you get that information, you can get points for guessing the team leader."

"I can give you this score, but you need to give me Private Points worth 100 class evaluation points until graduation."

"Of course, you can refuse. You can choose to obtain the team leader information for Class A and Class D yourself."

"Or," Hachiman said, "We could give up this opportunity to get 100 points for nothing."

"By the way."
