Luring You into the Trap

There are probably five or six Horikita and seven or eight Kushida.

As for the boys, none of them are as outstanding as Sudō, but there are five or six who can rival Ryuji Kanzaki.

Therefore, Class A's combat strength is indeed considerable.

The Ryuen's class is quite fierce.

Ryuen himself was a skilled fighter in the past, and there were also Daichi Ishizaki, Komiyama, and others.

And all sorts of rebellious hot girls.

The glamorous girls in Ryuen class easily outshone the glamorous girls in Hachiman class.

Among these girls, three are members of the track and field team and are considered professionals.

As for the boys, Albert, the former follower of Ryuen, is still the one who is really unfair.

In Horikita's little notebook.

In terms of pure strength, Horikita doesn't think anyone in this school can compare to him.

"The strength of the Ryuen class..."

After school, Horikita organized his materials, feeling somewhat heavy-hearted.

If we go to the competition normally, the quality of students in my class will be much lower compared to students in other classes.

Seeded player Sudō will make a sacrifice, while Kōenji will not participate.

This is really a headache.

"Then let's begin the plan," Hachiman said. "We can contact Kushida now."

"Arrange for Kushida to appear."

"We've just appeared in Class D's area, so Ryuen should think we're going to take this exam seriously."

In other words, when you went to investigate Ryuen's class, you were actually trying to attract Ryuen's attention and create momentum for Kushida's appearance?

Chapter 171 Inviting the Enemy into the Trap

The roof of the teaching building.

"That was a real surprise."

Ryuen in First-year Class D, went up to the rooftop as the sun was setting. He then saw a girl with short blonde hair with her back to him, staring blankly at something.

Ryuen immediately pointed out the other person's name.

"Kikyo Kushida".

"It's unbelievable that someone as lovable as you would become a spy for Class B," Ryuen said.

Kushida sent him a message saying that if Ryuen needed her, she could sell him information about Class B during this exam.

Certainly.

It's unreasonable to contact Ryuen directly; there's only one reason why they could arrange to meet with Ryuen.

The two have worked together once before.

It's not really a collaboration.

During the VIP Exam, Hachiman Hikigaya did something terrible.

That meant confiscating all the cell phones in the class except for his.

He then made the students use the spare phones while confiscating everyone else's phones.

Therefore, most students have no idea whether they are considered to be VIP.

However, Kushida participated in that action. Therefore, she learned about the VIP in her class.

Then, during her lunch break that day, she contacted Ryuen.

They are willing to sell information about the VIP in a class to the other party.

What they are selling is the information that they themselves are the VIP.

However, Kushida didn't have his own cell phone at that time, so Ryuen could verify his identity.

Meanwhile, Ryuen was still racing against time with Sakayanagi Arisu regarding their betting agreement, and since Kushida couldn't produce any evidence, they naturally wouldn't bother with him.

However, when they later learned about the VIP pattern, they deduced that the information given by Kushida was correct.

She was indeed one of the VIP in her class.

So from this perspective.

Kushida is the class spy.

Moreover, he betrayed the class on his own initiative.

"I have my reasons," Kushida said. "And I hope that Hachiman Hikigaya and Horikita won't be able to climb up."

"If we give them a little more time now, they'll definitely go to Class A," Kushida said. "I can't accept that!"

"Is that so?" Ryuen pondered for a moment.

Kushida Horikita is in the same class as Hikigaya and Hachiman Hikigaya, and is one of the representatives in the class, but she doesn't want the class to move up in the rankings, which seems strange.

However, Ryuen believes this is reliable.

Kushida's betrayal during the VIP Exam was enough to drag Hachiman Hikigaya Horikita's class down.

Therefore, the other party's betrayal is real.

He must actually be unhappy with Horikita and Hachiman Hikigaya.

There's probably some kind of entanglement or something.

However, even someone from Ryuen wouldn't directly trust a person.

"And for this Sports Festival, Kōenji has already publicly stated in class that he disdains to participate." Kushida then revealed another piece of information.

Upon hearing this name, Ryuen couldn't help but touch his hair.

Since Kōenji is a recognized monster, it would be excellent for the other classes if Kōenji himself did not participate.

"You need to bring another pledge of loyalty," Ryuen said. "Bring your class's competition form, and... before that, bring the recording of your class's discussion."

Although Kushida looks a bit strange, if used properly, he could help the class climb to the top in this Sports Festival, and even Hachiman Hikigaya.

He Ryuen was unwilling to suffer three consecutive setbacks.

Because.

Ryuen truly regrets it.

The bet with Sakayanagi Arisu was too greedy. Sakayanagi bet that if he could deduce the pattern before Sakayanagi left the ship, then Sakayanagi would stop asking for money. If he couldn't do that, he would have to work for the other party.

Therefore, if the information from Kushida had been adopted at the time, and the pattern had been deduced from the fact that Kushida was VIP, it might have been possible to know it ahead of time.

This is a loss of 30 million.

So it's not that he still has to share money with Hachiman Hikigaya, but Hachiman Hikigaya has no choice but to cooperate.

Ryuen decided they couldn't miss any more news.

Very soon.

After coming down from the rooftop, Kushida went about her usual activities with her friends.

There seemed to be nothing unusual about it.

But.

That evening, she returned to her dorm and sent a message to her Hachiman.

"He wants to record the conversation as evidence, so let's record it," Hachiman said. "You can secretly record the class meeting the day after tomorrow."

"Why not tomorrow?" Kushida finished showering, sat on the bed, turned on the speakerphone on his phone, and talked to Hachiman.

At the same time, you can hear the sound of an electric fan blowing hair from time to time.

"Ryuen just asked you to give him your pledge of loyalty, and you just handed it over immediately? Don't you think that's too easy?" Hachiman said. "Ryuen is a cunning man. So I have to pretend."

Is that so?

Kushida carefully put away the electric fan.

But haven't you managed to get the other person under your control several times already?

And you're a very cunning guy.

Even though she teamed up with Sakayanagi during the VIP Exam, she still arranged for her to deliberately reveal that she was VIP treatment recipient to Ryuen, which was an extremely dangerous move.

If Ryuen accepts this information, then Hachiman Hikigaya, you might lose.

In fact, Ryuen did not accept this intelligence.

So you've got Ryuen's intentions figured out perfectly, haven't you?

Then.

She then used the loss caused by Ryuen's previous disbelief in her information to increase Ryuen's trust in her now.

Therefore...

Hachiman Hikigaya is indeed an annoying guy.

Kushida had originally placed Hachiman Hikigaya at the top of his list of hated characters, but suddenly felt he couldn't do that anymore.

There's no need to keep offending the other party.

So they knocked the opponent off the top spot and put Suzune Horikita back in.

And the same.

"Ryuen, do you think Kushida is trustworthy? Is it possible that he's a fraud? How could Kushida betray his own class?"

The small base of Ryuen.

He gathered his small group and informed them that Kushida was going to betray their class.

Daichi Ishizaki scratched his head. He was one of the ordinary people who was also greeted by Kushida. He thought Kushida was a little angel for talking to someone who looked like he only knew how to hit people.

Then they also regard the other person as an angel.

Result.

But now we've learned from Ryuen that... Kushida is a spy for Class B.

I felt a sense of disillusionment for a moment.

"What do you say, Ibuki?" Ryuen asked, turning to Ibuki.

"I?"

Ibuki thought about it for a moment.

Before the Uninhabited Island Exam, Kushida was probably the only girl from another class who would interact with her.

While they were on the Uninhabited Island, they also gave her fruit.

He's a good person.

So now he's a traitor?

"At first I thought Kushida was a good person," Ibuki said. "So I don't really understand why she would do something like that."

"But getting information about Class B is very advantageous for us, isn't it?" Ryuen said.

"Actually, I wanted to do this once," Ryuen said. "We've been thwarted by Hachiman Hikigaya several times, but now is a chance to completely crush his class."

"I don't want to give up."

"Isn't he really craving a spot in Class A?" Ryuen said. "Then let him fall back to his original, lowest position."

As he said this, Ryuen looked at Kaneda.

Kaneda seemed to be thinking, so Ryuen looked at the girl with straight silver-white hair.
