Surprised? Didn't See That Coming!

"With the change of team leader, our score is 257 points. That is to say, the value of changing the team leader is a full 87 points," Ichinose analyzed.

This also means handing over the choice.

Let everyone choose.

"Ah, if only I hadn't accepted Kaneda back then."

"But at that time, we never imagined it was a conspiracy by Ryuen." The students in Class B discussed among themselves.

"It's time to make a decision quickly," Ryuji Kanzaki urged.

Actually, Ichinose's calculation method was wrong.

Because she only calculated her own class's score; she hadn't yet factored in the fact that Class D had guessed their class leader wrong, which would result in a deduction of points for Class D.

Therefore, this is a solution that can shorten the distance between us and Class A.

That means it's not just a difference of 87 points, but a difference of 137 points.

However, Ichinose did not point it out.

In other words, she didn't actually want Chihiro Shiranam to get hurt.

Kanzaki knows very well.

He also felt that there was no point in pursuing the matter at this point. It would have been better to have refused to let Kaneda join the class from the beginning, or to have handed Kaneda over to the teacher at that time.

It was the saintly attitude of that time that led to the dilemma we face now: whether to choose to get hurt by our classmates or friends.

That is also his shortcoming.

Kanzaki decided to accept this experience as punishment and a wake-up call for herself.

"Then, let's vote," Ichinose said. "Chihiro Shiranam, thank you for your willingness to sacrifice for the class."

"But."

Ichinose looked over.

And some students had already raised their hands.

"I don't think it's necessary for Chihiro Shiranam to get bitten by a snake just for 87 points," Shibata volunteered, raising his hand.

"I think so too, and there are Special Exam every month, aren't there?"

"There is ample time."

"We may not have performed well in this exam, but I don't think it's necessary for Chihiro Shiranam to make such a sacrifice."

"The team leader's identity being leaked is everyone's responsibility; we can't just let Chihiro Shiranam bear the burden."

"Moreover, there are Special Exam every month."

"We can still try." Soon, other classmates chimed in.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Ichinose counted the votes cast by the students in her class.

Apart from Chihiro Shiranam, none of them wanted their students to be harmed.

We are all companions.

In this way.

The seventh day has arrived.

The exam is over, and then comes the day the exam results will be announced.

Chapter 140: Surprise! Unexpected!

On the seventh day, after the exams ended and the students disposed of their trash and packed up their tents according to the exam rules, all the students headed to the beach.

The exam results will be announced there.

Before that, the homeroom teachers of each class found their respective classes.

Majima, the homeroom teacher of Class A, handed Katsuragi a pen and a form.

This is the guessing game for the team leader.

As the homeroom teacher, Majima-sensei handed the form to Katsuragi. However, the actual team leader was Yahiko, meaning that it wasn't necessary for the team leader to guess.

This also reveals that the homeroom teacher actually values Katsuragi quite a bit.

Once Katsuragi received the form, students gathered around him, including Hashimoto from the Sakayanagi Faction.

Katsuragi didn't care about this, or rather, he trusted his student, and there was no way anything else would go wrong now.

On the form, the left side lists the class names (A, B, C, D), and the right side is for filling in the team leader's name.

The leader's spot for Class A was crossed out.

That's for sure, because you can't guess what you're doing.

Katsuragi took the form and then calmly and steadily wrote the names of Chihiro Shiranam and Rokosuke Kōenji on the B and C classes respectively.

However, Class D is empty.

"Is that all?" said Majima-sensei.

"Yes." Kohei Katsuragi nodded.

But it didn't end there. He picked up the notebook on the table and said, "Our Class A and Class D have formed an alliance without using any of the initial 300 points. We lost 50 points due to an operational error, and 30 points due to Sakayanagi's absence. But based on the current results, the 18 points for capturing the stronghold, the initial 220 points, and the 100 points for correctly guessing the leaders of Classes B and C, make a total of 338 points, which is enough."

This statement, which sounds like a soliloquy, seems to be an explanation for what Majima-sensei just said, "Is this all there is to it?"

But Majima-sensei's expression did not change; he remained calm. "Katsuragi, the specific results will be released in an hour, and I cannot reveal them now."

This sounds a bit strange.

But Class A isn't just full of idiots.

They quickly realized that Katsuragi's answer and behavior were actually a test of Majima-sensei, trying to get some information from him and to find out if their points were correct.

However, Majima-sensei is very strict.

She was intelligent, calm, and very fair, and directly rejected Katsuragi.

This left the students in Class A with some regret, but they also felt that this was what made a truly excellent teacher in Class A so special.

But.

At that moment, Hashimoto, who had just surrounded them, suddenly spoke up.

"Class A was crossed out here because they can't guess their own chances, right?" Hashimoto said. "Then why is Class D, who already forfeited, still able to fill out their form?"

Um?

The students around him were stunned for a moment, and then Katsuragi's eyes widened immediately; he had already figured it out.

"Majima-sensei, I think I need to think about it some more." He took back the form for guessing the team leader.

Class A and Class D formed an alliance and agreed to pay Ryuen 1.2 million Private Points each month.

Class D was responsible for providing them with living supplies so they could retain their initial points. However, in practice, Class D sacrificed this opportunity. It was subsequently announced that Class D had forfeited.

However, Ibuki and Kaneda were left behind to gather information about the leaders of the other classes. Katsuragi knew this.

Then Ibuki and Kaneda completed their task, obtaining information about the leaders of the other two classes, and came to report. They then withdrew shortly afterward.

Logically speaking, Class D should have ended like this.

But.

The fact that the leader of Class D can still be guessed means that... Class D hasn't completely given up on the exam.

They also participated in the guessing game for the team leader.

This is something that Ryuen didn't mention, meaning that Ryuen might have ulterior motives.

"I think Ryuen is definitely still on the island," Hashimoto said. "So Katsuragi, why don't you just write Ryuen's name? That way our class can get an extra 50 points."

"But you'll lose 50 points if you guess wrong," Yahiko Totsuka said at this moment.

"In the end, the students in Ryuen's class abstained, but we didn't check whether all the students in Class D abstained."

"So the leader of Class D might not be Ryuen. If it's written wrong, who will take responsibility for the points deducted? Hashimoto, can you take responsibility?" Totsuka said immediately.

He was a die-hard fan of Katsuragi and naturally supported Katsuragi.

The reason for criticizing Hashimoto was that he initially thought Hashimoto was also a supporter of Katsuragi, but it turned out that Hashimoto was Sakayanagi's dog.

Therefore, to Totsuka, Hashimoto was a traitor.

"Of course I can't take that responsibility, I just brought up the possibility." Although Hashimoto was rebuked, she wasn't upset.

Instead, he spoke in a relaxed manner.

He brought it up on purpose so that if the leader of Class A was guessed, he could clear himself of suspicion.

Since he's gone to such lengths to report Ryuen, no one would suspect that he's actually a traitor to Class A and went to make a deal with Ryuen.

Meanwhile, on Class B's side, Chie Hoshinomiya also brought over the form for guessing the team leader.

Then Ichinose and Kanzaki quickly filled in the forms.

In the ABCD question, Class B cannot be filled in, and Class C is left blank, but classes A and D are filled in.

"You guys are really decisive," Chie Hoshinomiya said. "And, without seeing how you did anything, you were still able to fill in the information of the team leaders for other classes."

Because she took the form, less than a minute later, the form was returned to her.

"This..." Ichinose touched her hair, seemingly a little embarrassed.

Because they made a deal with Class C in private, the information about the team leaders of Class D that is being filled out now is a product of that deal.

Only.

"Speaking of which, you went to the White Tower before, and then why did you leave so quickly?" Hoshinomiya asked.

What she really wanted to ask was, "You all know that's a stronghold, it's worth 51 points, why don't you want it?"

"This..."

Kanzaki said, "That place is too dangerous. Our class still has some starting points, so if we lose points, it might not be worth it. That's why we didn't go to occupy it."

Oh, I see.

Indeed.

The reward is 51 points, but if you are injured and have to withdraw, you will indeed lose 30 points.

However, if the team leader gets injured and loses points at this time, then the class actually benefits.

Hoshinomiya thought to herself.

Chie Hoshinomiya also taught Class B last year, but the students in that Class B weren't as harmonious as the current class.

This class is like a gathering of little angels.

They are all good children.

Currently, both Kanzaki and Ichinose are still considered good kids.

But.

"Then I look forward to your progress," said Chie Hoshinomiya. "Especially you, Ichinose."

Although everyone is an angel, seemingly harmless and even saintly, the more times they are beaten, the more likely they are to turn evil, which might have a surprising effect.

After all, there are still many Special Exam to come, and this exam wasn't significantly different in terms of difficulty.

Then.

Class C here.

The students in Class C had already removed all the tents. Then everyone started cleaning up the surrounding trash.

The division of labor was fairly reasonable, so no one was idle.

Hachiman was also sweeping leaves, and Sakura and he were working together to help open the black garbage bag.

And Sae Chabashira also came here.
