Sakayanagi: Because I Didn't Take the Exam

"The teacher is wearing the same style of tracksuit as us now, it looks kind of novel," Hachiman said. "She looks like an upperclassman."

"I wore it on the first day of the exam," Chabashira said.

"I didn't pay much attention back then," Hachiman said honestly.

Then Chabashira handed over the form.

The column for Class C has been crossed out.

However, the other three classes can fill out the form.

"Then."

"Are you confident about this exam?" Chabashira asked.

"The bonus points for the base are still unclear, but conservatively speaking, the score this time will be 441+," Hachiman said.

Is that so?

Chabashira then took away the form for guessing the team leader.

In this way.

After completing this final step, all the students gathered on the beach at 10:30 a. m.

"In that case, everyone should be here now."

On the beach, Majima-sensei of Class A, held a megaphone in front of him.

The students from the four classes lined up neatly in front of the four small boats that were landing on the ship.

Surprisingly, there were still students in the area where Class D had said they were abstaining.

Long Yuanxiang, whose clothes were stained and whose chin had grown some stubble due to unkempt hair, looked somewhat weathered.

The appearance of Ryuen caused an uproar in Class A.

"It's Ryuen! It really is Ryuen!"

"So, the leader of Class D really is Ryuen!"

"Katsuragi, you didn't fill in Ryuen, did you! Why didn't you fill in Ryuen!"

The students in Class A only see Ryuen = 50 points.

Now some people feel that those 50 points are gone because they noticed that Katsuragi didn't fill in the name of Ryuen.

"We've allied with Class D," Katsuragi said. "It would be unfair of us to go to Ryuen."

He did not fill in the name of the team leader of Class D.

As Yahiko said, although it was confirmed that Ryuen still had ambitions, no attention was paid to how many students in Ryuen's class had actually abstained.

Therefore, the team leader may not be Ryuen, and if they fill in the wrong information, their Class A will lose as much as 68 points.

This is a risk.

And.

There is also an agreement with Ryuen.

Since they are allies, isn't it going too far to speculate about each other? I suppose Ryuen thinks so too.

Since they could cooperate on this exam, Katsuragi considered that they might be able to team up with the Ryuen's class for the next exam as well.

So this can be considered a gesture of goodwill.

But what about Class B and Class C?

On Class B's side, Katsuragi quickly spotted Chihiro Shiranam, who was the team leader.

The appearance of Ryuen was slightly surprising, but the information of the team leader of Class B that was filled out was still reliable.

Even if Sakayanagi came, he couldn't guarantee a score of 338.

"Snort."

So Katsuragi stood at the front of Class A's group, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Although I was a little surprised to learn that Ryuen himself was the team leader, if nothing unexpected happens, Class A will definitely be number one in this exam.

Ryuen stood alone in the Class D area.

But.

Ryuen, who held a piece of wood in his left hand as a walking stick, was very proud.

"You're quite an amazing guy," said his homeroom teacher, Kazuma Sakagami. "Even though you didn't get a single point."

"However, three team leaders were listed in the guessing game."

"Then, the 25th outpost also scored points. That outpost gives a 50-point bonus, and since it was captured once, it gives a total of 51 points!"

"The best possible class evaluation score for this exam is 201 points," Kazuma Sakagami praised.

"It might not be 201 points," Ryuen said, shaking his head. "Perhaps only 151 points."

"Huh?" Kazuma Sakagami, somewhat puzzled.

"Class C guessed my identity as the team leader. So I have to deduct 50 points," Ryuen said.

"I see..." Kazuma Sakagami continued. "It is indeed a bit of a pity, but getting an extra 151 points is still excellent."

So he stood still, ready to wait for the exam results to be announced.

It seems that teachers generally don't know the information about the leaders of other classes.

Hachiman thought to himself.

At that moment, Majima-sensei had already picked up a megaphone and started making announcements.

"So, first up is fourth place."

"Class D, 0 points!"

"..."

Upon hearing this result, Katsuragi glanced at the distant Ryuen and shook his head slightly.

He admitted that Ryuen was somewhat clever, and then Ryuen stayed on the island, seemingly with ulterior motives.

But the final score was 0.

It seems that Ryuen's efforts have all come to naught.

Wait a moment.

Katsuragi suddenly realized that something was wrong with this score of 0.

Since Ryuen also knew the information of the team leaders of both classes B and C, he could get 100 points. However, he did not guess Ryuen's class, so the reason why Ryuen got 0 points might be that both classes B and C guessed it.

Or is it...?

There was a problem with the team leaders of classes B and C.

Katsuragi quickly looked over.

Meanwhile, Chihiro Shiranam was still in the group, which seemed safe.

But.

Katsuragi's gaze turned towards Class C. The students in Class C were arranged in rows of boys and girls, but... on the boys' side, Katsuragi realized that he couldn't see the tallest and most athletic-looking man.

Could it be that...

Could it be that...

Katsuragi suddenly realized that his back was sweating.

At this moment, Majima-sensei continued to announce the exam results with a blank expression.

"Third place, Class A, 70 points."

"What!"

Katsuragi was just thinking that the Class C leader had guessed wrong, meaning his class still had 220 points. But now, hearing 70 points, he almost jumped up. His eyes widened, and veins bulged on his face.

"How is that possible!"

Why did this happen?!

"Wasn't it supposed to be 338 points?!"

The Class A line instantly erupted in noise.

Second place.

Majima-sensei sighed slightly, then continued to announce, "Class B, 170 points."

"170 points."

According to Ichinose's prediction yesterday, this result would be acceptable to the students in Class B.

But.

"Then comes the first place, Class C, with 491 points!"

"Whoosh!"

Instantly, the entire audience erupted in uproar.

Chapter 141 Sakayanagi: Because I didn't take the exam

On the ship.

The students in Class D totaled 37 and were enjoying the facilities on the ship in a very relaxed manner.

However, since it was during the exam period, the results of this Uninhabited Island Exam were being broadcast live on the televisions in the rooms and public facilities.

Shiina was sitting in the restaurant, but she wasn't alone; Kaneda, Ibuki, Albert, and Daichi Ishizaki.

Um.

As a small team at Ryuen, we are also paying close attention to the progress of the exam.

"Even if we get 0 points, we won't lose out if we can sign a contract with Class A," Kaneda said, pushing up his glasses.

After returning to the ship, he rested, received a massage, and had bandages applied, so the marks on his face had disappeared.

"Ryuen agreed to give us 800,000 of the 1.2 million Private Points they receive from Class A each month."

"That means guaranteeing the most basic living expenses," Ishizaki said.

"But we can still look forward to it," Kaneda continued. "Ibuki and I completed the mission, and just as you analyzed, Shiina, the leader of Class C is Kōenji."

"Ryuen also said they would try to get more information about the team leader of Class A."

"So this time, Ryuen is confident of getting 150 points."

"300 points for living expenses, 150 points for class evaluation score."

"What a great harvest! But from now on, it's time for our class to rise to the top!"

Click-click—

Shiina, meanwhile, sighed softly as she stirred her coffee with a spoon.

"Shiina, what's wrong?"

"Actually, I wanted to tell you this morning," Hiyori Shiina said. "But seeing how excited you all were, I couldn't bear to, so I let you experience the excitement a little longer."

"?"

That's what I meant.

So everyone looked towards Hiyori Shiina.

Shiina is fair-skinned with long silver hair and has the air of a literary girl.

She was also the prettiest girl in her class.

She has excellent Academic Ability, and Ryuen sometimes consults her for advice.
