Chapter 160 Sakayanagi Arisu on the Ship (First Update)
[The Monkey Group's exam has ended. Students in the Monkey Group do not need to participate in the exam anymore. Please wait for the results to be announced.]
The voice of Majima-sensei came from inside the ship; it was the announcement that the group exam had ended.
"..." Ryuen.
Ryuen's expression was very grave.
Because the Monkey Group's VIP is given to the Ryuen class.
Although he knew about the VIP rules earlier Hachiman Hikigaya.
Hachiman Hikigaya only suddenly asked Kōenji to guess who the Monkey Group's VIP, so he might guess wrong.
But.
This kind of thing is unreliable.
Because Kōenji is like a monster, his physical abilities are off the charts during the Uninhabited Island Exam, and every class keeps their distance from him.
So Ryuen felt that... one of the three VIP in his class might have lost their life on the spot.
If the three VIP from Class A and one VIP from Class B who answered correctly received 150 + 50 = 200 points, then now 50 points will be deducted, leaving them with only 150 points.
That wretched Hachiman Hikigaya.
Just because you want to sever ties with him, you just let an entire group end their exam?
A single group can be worth 6.5 million Private Points!
It is no exaggeration that Ryuen has already obtained the names of the 12 groups of VIP.
But now it's all for naught, because if Kōenji's answer is correct, then Class C will receive VIP from an outsider class.
Therefore, given time, Class C can deduce the pattern of VIP.
That would be disadvantageous for him.
"In any case, this proves our Class C's innocence," Hachiman said. "But it's also a pity."
"Ryuen probably already knows the pattern of the VIP," Hachiman said.
"That's why he was able to so directly end the exam for the VIP group in your class."
"Now, the identities of three VIP in my class have not been exposed. Through information from the spy in Class D, I also know the information of the VIP in Ryuen Class. So, our two classes can only maintain a stalemate and stop guessing each other."
As he said this, Hachiman stepped aside, seemingly giving the stage to Ryuen.
But Ryuen remained expressionless.
What kind of nonsense is Hachiman Hikigaya talking about?
After you sent the message to Kōenji, didn't you ask Kōenji about the Monkey Group VIP information he filled out?
So you don't know any patterns, and therefore you have no way of knowing his VIP information in Class D.
As for spies?
Ryuen couldn't believe that any of his students would dare to betray him.
Ryuen frowned, because after Hachiman Hikigaya said that, he clearly felt his phone vibrate in his pocket.
That means I received a message.
It was probably a message sent to him by Hachiman Hikigaya.
If Ryuen wants to achieve result 1, it will definitely need the cooperation of Class C, so it's really a tough nut to crack.
But now we have no choice but to continue.
We started by inviting representatives from Class C, who were the most difficult to deal with, and we hoped to persuade them first.
Unfortunately, the plan failed.
But it doesn't matter, he can still make a profit, so he looked directly at Katsuragi and Ichinose.
In Ryuen's view, the representatives from Class A and Class B were easy targets to exploit.
So he clapped his hands gently.
"Boss!"
A tall boy from Class D walked out from the side and brought over several sheets of A4 paper.
This is Albert, who is 1.9 meters tall and has a very imposing presence. He looks like just a henchman of Ryuen, but he puts on a very good show.
"Ryuen, what do you want to do?!"
Upon seeing Albert approach, Yahiko's hair stood on end.
"Heh, are you guys in Class A really that timid?" Ryuen scoffed.
"This is an agreement, and also the pass plan for this exam. You all need to sign and cooperate," Ryuen said.
"Ryuen!" Katsuragi frowned slightly.
"Katsuragi, don't even think about refusing. You want to know the names that my students sent to the Ox Group, Horse Group, and Snake Group, right?"
"And the answer is yes," Ryuen said.
"As for the specific name..."
Ryuen took out his phone, while Katsuragi walked to the side, and then everyone noticed that sweat was dripping from his forehead.
It's clear that Ryuen's answer to the question about VIP was correct.
Class D received three VIP from Class A, so the VIP from the Tiger Group in Class B... might have been leaked as well.
So Ichinose and Kanzaki's expressions became tense.
"Don't you think this regulation is making things too difficult for people?" Suzune Horikita, who had received the agreement prepared by Ryuen from Albert, voiced her dissatisfaction from another direction.
Yes.
The regulations proposed by Ryuen are excessive.
[Agreement, I guarantee that I am willing to cooperate with Result 1. The group members who complete Result 1 will pay Ryuen Kakeru 400,000 points after the school rewards points are credited to their accounts.]
Those who violate this rule will be punished with 10 million points.
Name: XX
This agreement applies to a single student.
It seems that the remaining groups are required to go for result 1. Once result 1 is achieved, each group will only receive 100,000 points, while Ryuen will receive 400,000 points.
Although Ryuen had grasped the patterns of those VIP, he could still manipulate his students to forcibly end the exam at will.
This makes people feel restricted.
Hachiman's class has not yet deduced the pattern of the VIP, and the Monkey Group just now was also due to the existence of the cheat code, Kōenji.
Therefore, Class C is at a disadvantage in comparison.
However, this does not mean that we should agree to such conditions.
Moreover, this agreement is clearly intended to be sent separately to the remaining members of the group.
Hachiman looked towards Ryuen.
"Ryuen, the terms of your agreement this time are excessive. Our class may not be able to cooperate," Hachiman said.
"Me too!" X2
The representatives from Class A and Class B exchanged glances and then spoke in agreement.
"Hehe..."
Ryuen simply smiled at this.
"Think carefully about the essence of this exam."
Ryuen said, "There are four test results. One is to answer first and the other is not to answer first. If no one answers first, then the best solution is for everyone to receive points. If someone answers first, then everyone loses points."
"What does it mean if a group gets 50 points for answering correctly in the quiz? For 40 students, that's only 200,000 points a month, and 2.5 million a year. But if we go towards result 1, which is... well, let's say a group has 13 students, then that's 12 x 50 + 100 = 7 million points. So this is clearly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for everyone to accumulate points. Are you guys out of your minds thinking about choosing the score?"
"But didn't you already forcibly end 4 groups?" Ichinose asked, posing a fundamental question.
Judging from the current situation, she actually felt less nervous after reading the agreement.
I was very flustered at first.
She received a message from Hachiman right after the exam started.
She was asked to share information about the VIP in her class.
Speculation is the deduction of rules.
If Class C grasps the pattern, then it will be harmless to Class B.
However, this is also an opportunity for Class B to get closer to Class A, and even Hoshinomiya-sensei is very interested in it, so she can't give it up.
But who could have imagined that while everyone was still hesitating, it was Ryuen from Class D who had grasped the pattern?
Then the class was in a passive state.
It can be confirmed that the information of the Tiger Group's VIP in Class B has been leaked, so Class B will have 50 points deducted.
However, this result is not the worst.
Because.
The three VIP in Class A were probably guessed.
So the current score is
Class A: 1258 - 50 x 3 = 1108 points
Class B: 1121 - 50 = 1071 points
Class C: 1041 + 50 = 1091 points
Class D: 150 + 50 - 50 = 150 points
Then.
Ryuen's current proposals are all about taking money, not points, so Class B's points haven't actually been deducted much. Although their ranking has dropped, the point differences between Classes A, B, and C are very close.
There were many more exams afterward, so this time Class B didn't fall too far behind and lose the chance to compete with Class A.
Therefore, if she can ensure that the remaining two students in Class B VIP are not guessed, then she can accept this outcome.
After all, the patterns have already been figured out.
Only.
Just like Horikita said, if we go for result 1, the school will reward each person with 500,000 yen, but Ryuen wants to take 4/5 of it. It's simply inhuman. I don't want to accept it, and I don't want to convince my classmates.
So Ichinose is arguing for the sake of arguing.
"..." Ryuen.
Ryuen glanced at Ichinose.
Actually, he hadn't initially thought he could get all the representatives to agree to his conditions.
The fact that he guessed four groups at once was because he was fooled by Hachiman Hikigaya.
Moreover, Hachiman Hikigaya just instructed Kōenji to waste another group.
However, now is clearly not the time to say such discouraging things.
"According to my plan, it seems like you're at a disadvantage, losing most of your points at once, but there's one thing you need to know!"
Ryuen said proudly, "Could you have accumulated this many points under normal circumstances? I've even left each of you with at least 100,000 points. That's already a tremendous amount of leniency."
As she said this, Ryuen first looked at Katsuragi, seemingly preparing to defeat Katsuragi first. "The three VIP for Class A have already been chosen, and I won't be trying to snatch the other VIP."
"So your position in Class A can be retained, and that's something you guys, Katsuragi, desperately need, right?"
"So, being able to maintain our position in Class A and even ensure that everyone gets 100,000 points is something we can at least explain to our classmates, right?"
