Although I don't think my class's students

But it's only the fourth day now, and there are still two and a half days until the exam ends.

Therefore, it's best to be as cautious as possible.

Only.

"Katsuragi, it seems the Ryuen's class is quite strong," Yahiko said.

He examined the camera that Ibuki had submitted, which showed Hachiman Hikigaya and Kōenji going to raid a base together.

The photo shows someone swiping their card at Kōenji.

The face of the card that was swiped was photographed.

It clearly reads the words "Rokosuke Kōenji".

As the team leader, Yahiko was well aware of the authenticity of the Leader Card.

It can be confirmed that the card swiped at Kōenji is a genuine Leader Card.

Besides, this is a camera, it can't be photoshopped.

So what Ibuki photographed was the key card for Class C.

"Their class took more than 300 points this time, we can finally clear them out!" Yahiko Totsuka, as if he had finally gotten his revenge.

"Hachiman Hikigaya is someone that Sakayanagi values highly," Katsuragi said. "And the Student Council President once offered him a position in the Student Council."

"So I didn't underestimate him after that."

"Indeed, he is a smart person and gained an advantage in the exam more astutely than I did."

"But ultimately, the goddess of victory is not with them," Katsuragi said.

Katsuragi is a cautious person.

Actually, when Class A couldn't find a base on the first day, he and Yahiko went to wait for them to come to them, and then confirmed that Kōenji was the leader.

He didn't confirm it just to be on the safe side, but now, Ibuki has provided photos.

So you can rest assured.

This exam.

Class A's initial score of 220 points + 18 points of base points + 50 x 2 (guessing Class C correctly) = 338 points.

Although the agreement with Ryuen came at the cost of 300 points in class evaluation scores.

But considering the final score, it's still pretty good.

At the same time.

It's only a 15-minute walk from Class A's camp.

In a grove of trees.

This area is not a base.

But two figures were having a secret rendezvous here.

To be precise, it's a transaction.

"Hey, you got here pretty fast." Ryuen, who was leaning against a tree, suddenly spoke up.

"After all, it's a transaction worth 1.5 million Private Points," the other party said.

Wearing a red tracksuit, tall and thin, but very handsome, he is the most handsome boy in Class A, and this is Masayoshi Hashimoto.

He was a member of the Katsuragi Faction, and then the Sakayanagi Faction.

Before taking the Uninhabited Island Exam, he had already become Sakayanagi Arisu's right-hand man.

"I didn't say 1.5 million, I said 1 million," Ryuen said.

"Well, after all, I'm taking a big risk. So I'll only tell you the class leader's information if I increase the amount by 500,000," Hashimoto said.

"Then you really are trash," Ryuen commented.

Because Masayoshi Hashimoto to reveal the information about his class leader.

With Katsuragi on Class A's side, it's not easy to plant a spy.

Therefore, the only option is to bribe the students in Class A.

Ryuen arranged for Ibuki to put on a show on the ship, but that was just to fool Class C, where Hachiman Hikigaya were. Class A, of course, also put in a lot of effort.

So Hashimoto was his informant.

"Aren't you worried about your class dropping out?" Ryuen asked.

"This time, Class B is using up their initial points, and Class B leader also leaked information, so they can't climb up. Since Class C's leader also leaked information, their base points will also be gone."

"So even if the information about Class A's leader was leaked, Class A is still the winner of this exam," Hashimoto said. "Losing by only 50 points doesn't count as a loss."

Losing by only 50 points doesn't count as a loss, does it?

Hashimoto then said...

"This school Meritocracy, so having enough Private Points is extremely important. And didn't you realize this, Ryuen? That's why you gave up on getting points in this exam and prioritized points, didn't you?"

"Then your ambitions are quite grand," Ryuen said upon hearing this.

Hashimoto is willing to betray his own class for 1 million points.

This action actually indicates that Hashimoto is collecting points, aiming to reach 20 million. With 20 million points, he can graduate as Class A student regardless of whether his current class drops out.

He is an ambitious man.

"Moreover," Hashimoto said, "Our current class is more focused on identifying a single representative than on getting points."

"I believe that even if we lose some points now, we can quickly regain them as long as Sakayanagi leads us," Hashimoto said.

"Sakayanagi." Ryuen recalled that during the old exam, Sakayanagi had arranged for someone to make him surrender and get his students to vote for her in the Student Council President election.

But Ryuen refused at that time.

However, he did not deny that Sakayanagi was indeed skilled.

But it's a pity.

Sakayanagi's health was poor, so he didn't come to the exam on the Uninhabited Island.

Ryuen also received news that, in addition to the Uninhabited Island Exam, there would be another test back on the ship.

This is why he immediately chose to cooperate with Class A during the Uninhabited Island Exam, letting Class A take over. He still had a way out and the possibility of attacking.

"The transaction is successful," Ryuen said. "The 1 million will be given to you after you return to school."

Ryuen and Class A teamed up, but he didn't give up on guessing the team leader.

He already knows the team leaders of Class C. If he can get the team leader information of Class A as well, he can get a total of 150 points!

Snort.

With an initial score of 300, he can collect 200 points, equivalent to living expenses, on his own.

Therefore...

Class D will be the ultimate winner this time.

Ryuen is the ultimate winner.

"Ibuki and Kaneda from Class D both withdrew."

"Our classmates saw the two of them go to the beach together, and then they saw them say hello to the teacher and then get on a small transport boat to go back to the ship."

The two representatives from Class B went straight to Class C's camp and spoke to Hachiman.

Having apparently rushed over with great effort, Ichinose was out of breath and lacked stamina.

Kanzaki's physical fitness was quite good, but his complexion was terrible.

Clearly, the current situation has taken them by surprise.

"Kaneda, whom your class took in, has also left?" Before Hachiman could speak, Suzune Horikita, who had recovered and was in good spirits, stood up and asked.

However, there are aspects of her statement that require further examination.

That is the word "also".

Previously, Hachiman, Horikita, and Kushida went to their class together to ask them to cooperate.

Then it was also pointed out that Ibuki and Kaneda were both spies planted by Ryuen.

So let them be careful on their own.

So even if the team leader's identity is leaked, there are ways to remedy the situation. But judging from their expressions, they seem to be still hesitant.

"May I speak to you in private?" Hachiman asked, standing up.

There was only a campfire here, and besides him and Horikita, there were several other classmates.

Because there are quite a few people eyeing the roasted corn now.

Kushida, still feeling down because her underwear was stolen that morning, stayed in her tent. Her best friend Meiyu Wang, was talking to her.

"Of course." Ichinose nodded quickly.

So, Hachiman and Horikita led Kanzaki and Ichinose into the woods.

"In the morning, I went to farm strongholds with Kōenji."

"Someone was spotted taking photos at Kōenji."

"Then, Ibuki announced her departure," Hachiman said. "She left at 8:20 in the morning."

"And when did you discover that Ibuki and Kaneda had forfeited?" Hachiman asked. "It's 12:20 now."

"..."?

Kanzaki and Ichinose both looked over at the same time.

Although they were both overly compassionate, they weren't stupid.

Ichinose was quick to realize. "Hachiman, you mean that Ibuki went to see someone else after leaving your class, right?"

"He might be going to see Katsuragi from Class A, or he might be going to see Ryuen," Hachiman said.

"Ryuen... is it still on the island?" Kanzaki frowned.

"The leader of Class D should be Ryuen. My class's base is only 50 minutes away from Class A's base, so if Ibuki quits now, the timing doesn't match up. We can only say that she went to see Ryuen," Hachiman said. "So, if your class's leader information is leaked, my class won't guess your class, but Class A and Class D will definitely guess you."

"So the loss is 100 points."

"..."X2

The two representatives from Class B fell silent instantly.

Originally, Kaneda was supposed to leave, but they were also reminded that Kaneda was a spy, which would make things difficult for them.

Kaneda left because he also considered that Class A might guess the team leader's information.

That means a deduction of 50 points.

But now, I suddenly feel that things have become serious.

It's the fourth day on the island, and they have to stay for another two and a half days. Their class still has 212 points left from their initial score.

If you factor in the consumption over two and a half days, you'll have 170 points left.

If the two classes guess correctly, then 170 will become 100 points.

Then we must guess the team leader information for Class A and Class D.

Otherwise, if everyone works hard for a week, saves money, and helps each other, only to get 70 points on the exam, they will feel terrible.

"So, your class leader's information was leaked?" Hachiman asked.

But Ichinose gently shook her head and then nodded.

Kanzaki gave a wry smile.

"Unable to determine."
