Kushida Is Such a Good Actress!
Occupying a stronghold only lasts for 8 hours. You need to repeat the process.
So, Kōenji is also doing this kind of tedious work.
When occupying their own class's home base, they would arrange 10 students to form a string, and then include Hachiman, Sudō, and Kōenji.
Then have Kōenji swipe his card.
This was to guard against Ibuki.
Heading to other areas, they traveled together to Kōenji, Sudō, and Hachiman.
It seems to have provided some cover as well.
But.
The early morning rush is unnecessary.
Because back then, hardly anyone would get up. But now it's the act of swiping a card at the start of a new day.
Sudō slept too soundly this morning, so only Hachiman and Kōenji went out.
When Kōenji reminded him, Hachiman knew that Ibuki had probably followed him.
Then they probably dug up the camera she had buried. And they first found a Class C outpost, and then waited for her to come to them.
I want to take a picture.
Only the team leader can swipe the card; others will have points deducted for doing so.
Sure, Ibuki.
But.
"Then go swipe your card," Hachiman whispered to Kōenji.
"Hehe—" Kōenji immediately understood that Hachiman Hikigaya was preparing to drive Ibuki away.
So, he casually made Hachiman act as a lookout, and then he walked over to the card reader.
Show your Leader Card.
"Drop!"
A sound came from the card reader.
Meanwhile, Ibuki remained motionless in the distance. Although Hachiman Hikigaya and Kōenji were both near the card reader, she clearly captured a photo of Rokosuke Kōenji his card through the camera's telephoto lens.
Leave request: I need to take one day off. I'll update twice tomorrow.
Leave request: I need to take one day off. I'll update twice tomorrow.
Leave request: I need to take one day off. Double update tomorrow.
Leave request: I need to take one day off. Double update tomorrow.
Leave request: I need to take one day off. I'll update twice tomorrow.
Rua!
Chapter 136 Kushida's acting is really good!
Kōenji has very strong physical fitness.
They also have excellent insight.
"I was just photographed."
After swiping his card and leaving with Hachiman, Kōenji said.
"When are you planning to quit and get a replacement team leader?" Hachiman asked.
These words came out of nowhere, but they seemed to make Kōenji smile slightly.
He always thought he was a genius, and that ordinary people, being mortals, could not understand geniuses.
I can't keep up with his train of thought.
Therefore, he disdains communicating with ordinary people.
At the same time.
While in this class, he sometimes found it unbelievable that there were such stupid people around him, people who even amazed him.
But.
He won't do anything if you don't provoke him.
Rather, he was actually unwilling to do anything for this class.
However, this time, he put in the effort for the Uninhabited Island Exam, which was still tempted by Hachiman Hikigaya's idea that those who are capable should do more, and then he could use this class to get higher scores.
He needed to come to this school because of his family, and he also needed to graduate with honors in Class A.
I didn't know the true nature of this school before, but I found out after I entered and deliberately broke the rules in Hachiman Hikigaya.
Only graduating from Class A is considered a mark of academic achievement recognized by this school.
As a proud genius, he naturally wanted to graduate with the highest honors.
Therefore, upon graduation, one must either lead the class to be promoted to Class A and graduate as Class A, or receive 20 million to transfer to Class A upon graduation.
Although he himself had money, he could exchange points with upperclassmen.
However, he would be willing to earn those points himself if he could.
"It should end around the sixth day," said Kōenji. "If it's through illness, then it will require some time to heal, but I plan to catch a few snakes."
Catching snakes, huh?
That means you were bitten by a snake.
Although the island was Uninhabited Island, it had snakes, and it was because he saw the snakes that Hachiman confirmed that Horikita was very reliable.
"And you deliberately let Ibuki know that I was the team leader. What were you thinking? Are you planning to make it a guessing game about the team leader?" Kōenji said.
"It's not just that." Hachiman shook his head. "On one hand, it brings points to the class, and on the other hand, we hope to form an alliance with Class B. Then we can get points from Class B."
"..." Kōenji.
Kōenji understood: Hachiman Hikigaya had deliberately sent the wrong team leader information to Class D and Class A Ibuki, who was allied with Class D.
Then let Class A lose points.
However, if Class A loses points, it benefits Class B.
So this is doing business with Class B.
The fact that he can do business means that Hachiman Hikigaya is also collecting points.
"Do you want to go solo?" Kōenji asked.
He himself plans to go solo, and if Hachiman Hikigaya also wants to go solo, it would be a good option.
This class is simply beyond saving.
"I don't have that idea. Going solo would cost 20 million, but wouldn't it be better to convert 20 million into cash?" Hachiman said.
"..." Kōenji.
That's really short-sighted.
Kōenji comes from the Kōenji Zaibatsu and has no interest in things like being a regular student who gets a free pass to their desired university or a job as part of a school reward program for being in Class A.
Because he was born superior to others.
Ordinary people can also move up a social class by redeeming school rewards, which is very useful for both themselves and their descendants.
Result.
Hachiman thinks 20 million is more valuable.
"You seem a little unambitious, Hachiman. I thought you wanted to fly across classes," Kōenji commented.
Is that so?
However, Hachiman and Kōenji had different ideas.
Because, given the choice between 20 million and an opportunity to make a name for himself, he would still choose the 20 million.
Because standing out from the crowd can also lead to various problems.
But 20 million is a real and tangible amount.
And.
Do you want to transcend social classes?
Hachiman believes that besides personal effort, there is another avenue.
That is it.
If he could meet a wealthy woman who was willing to support him, wouldn't that be a leap across social classes?
Ordinary people need to spend a lot of time and effort to accumulate a certain economic foundation, and then they have a little chance of crossing social classes through hard work.
This fact is truly cruel.
So, feeling that it was too cruel Hachiman and Kōenji continued to farm bases.
Around seven o'clock, the two returned to the base.
The students had already woken up.
The sky looked like it was about to rain but didn't.
However, the air on the island is very pleasant.
The students have already started washing up and
Hachiman discovers that Ibuki is still in the camp.
And.
"Morning."
Ibuki, sitting by the fire, actually took the initiative to greet Hachiman.
"Good morning," Hachiman replied.
"Are you the team leader?" Unexpectedly, Ibuki spoke to Hachiman Hikigaya.
At the same time, the topic was surprisingly straightforward.
Hachiman thinks he might be a straight man, but this Ibuki seems to be a super straightforward woman.
Because it was practically written all over her face that she already knew the information about the team leader in his class.
Didn't you see the look of surprise on Suzune Horikita's face after she washed up and came over to the fire?
In other words, she did indeed take a photo of the moment the card was swiped at Kōenji.
"Why do you say that?" Hachiman asked, maintaining a calm expression.
"Because you just came back from outside with Kōenji, didn't you?" Ibuki said. "Usually you guys are always taking care of Sudō, and Kōenji is also swiping his card at the base."
"And Sudō didn't go with you today," Ibuki said.
"..." Hachiman didn't say anything this time.
Ibuki seemed to be in a good mood, and she continued...
"However, I think your class would better be careful. You've captured so many strongholds this time; if they guess who the leader is, all your efforts will be in vain," Ibuki said. "Because you took me in, I can keep my mouth shut. I won't tell anyone, but you'd better be careful too."
"Then thank you." Hachiman said, his expression turning slightly somber.
"... So, do you believe me?" Ibuki continued to ask.
"Of course I believe you," Hachiman Hikigaya said. "Because you can't possibly be faking it with Ryuen. The injuries on your face haven't even healed yet."
"..." Ibuki.
Ibuki and Ryuen were indeed putting on an act.
