What's Generally Forbidden Is Exactly What Students Want to Try! 6.5k (Continued)

"And it was at that time that their class jumped up and became Class A."

"They broke the school record," Utsunomiya said.

Clearly, in this exam, the lower-grade students, due to their lack of experience, were given the right to consult with the upper-grade students.

Utsunomiya didn't let this opportunity pass and asked for other information.

"..." Hōsen.

Hōsen originally wanted to say something, but hearing the name Hachiman Hikigaya made his scalp tingle.

It was this Hachiman Hikigaya, who caused him to lose nearly 20 million yen in protection money that originally belonged to him in his class.

But.

If Kiyotaka Ayanokoji drops out of school, then the 20 million yen will come back to him!

Hōsen is quite confident about this plan.

Thus, the group made their plans.

This Island Exam lasted 14 days, and the school even allowed small-scale conflicts, which was perfect for them.

On the other side...

After parting ways on this side of the deck, Hachiman and Kushida went to their respective groups.

The team members that Hiyori assigned to him were Ibuki and Komiyama.

The current time is 9:02.

There were 58 minutes to prepare before they were to be sent to the island at 10 o'clock.

However, the students became busy.

After finally obtaining the exam rules from the reorganized meeting of my class, I learned that in addition to the group being able to score points in the four designated movements and tasks each day, I also learned that if everyone in the group slacks off and no one completes the designated area, points will be deducted if this happens too often.

In the end, it was deducted 0 points.

Yes.

Although all the students in the school paid protection money, the First-year Class D paid the bill to replace the last five groups.

However, at that time, the last five groups in First-year Class D scored 0 points.

In other words...

If someone withdraws midway or the entire team fails, they will receive 0 points and will then have to compete with the 5 groups from First-year Class D for the last 5 groups. Therefore, they may also be expelled from school.

Maya.

That's not fair.

Therefore, all the students can only passively take this exam seriously now.

It must be ensured that the group's score does not drop to 0 at the end of the exam.

In this way.

On one hand, you need to score points on the island and reduce the points deducted. On the other hand, since you are living on an island, the level of supplies also needs to be up to standard.

Otherwise, dehydration, physical discomfort, or near starvation could force you to withdraw from the exam.

That would also be unlucky, as you would end up with a score of 0.

Then, when Hachiman arrived at the supply purchase point, this is what happened.

A large number of students were queuing to buy the supplies, so the school had to add two more windows to sell them.

While queuing, Hachiman received a booklet of supplies from the staff.

Similar to last year's Uninhabited Island instruction manual, besides the rules being printed in the manual, there are also supplies available for purchase at the supply points.

In.

"Toiletries such as toothbrushes, T-shirts, and underwear will be provided free of charge. If you run out, you can go back to the starting point and they will provide the necessary amount."

"Then they will also distribute other items for free, such as portable toilets, insect repellent spray, sunscreen, and sanitary products, which are essential items for students."

Not only that.

Hachiman held the instruction manual. It was more like a checklist than a manual.

Prices are clearly marked.

Everything from tents and fishing rods to walkie-talkies, food, and water is available for sale, and the list of items to buy seems to have expanded considerably compared to last year.

Even the props for playing games are still impeccably complete.

For example, there are stylish swimwear, beach balls, and swimming rings. Some items are also available for daily rental, where you can pay points to borrow them at a low price as needed.

However, putting aside the fun, two weeks of living on Uninhabited Island will inevitably bring up the issue of food.

Especially for water that might be vital, 500 milliliters is 100 points, one liter is 150 points. Two liters is also 250 points. If you double that, the points will be quite high.

It should be noted that the school authorities were still merciful.

That means a supply point will be set up at the starting point. Although the price will double at that time, it will provide some convenience for students.

For example, you can return to the starting point at any time and use the toilets and showers free of charge.

You can even get a drink of water there.

However, the water cannot be taken out; it must be consumed on the spot.

Even so, at least there is a place to stay in case anything happens, which makes the students feel a little more at ease.

Meanwhile, Ibuki was also carefully looking at the list of supplies that could be purchased in the manual.

She actually had no experience in wilderness survival.

Otherwise, last year on the Uninhabited Island, I wouldn't have been completely unaware that Kushida had used me to test various fruits for poison.

"Then let's use the basic supplies that Ryuen mentioned."

Komiyama and his group had just returned from the library, and as an expert in wilderness survival, Ryuen had compiled a list of supplies needed for survival.

Three bottles of mineral water, a simple personal tent (two people of the same sex can share one), a stainless steel pot, a lighter, 28 servings of compressed biscuits or jerky (enough for two meals a day), and a backpack.

This list alone has already cost 3,500 resource points.

Hachiman brushed up on his wilderness survival skills last year.

Although he saw the list of supplies provided by Ryuen, he was not so optimistic.

Because Ryuen's list only included 3 bottles of drinking water.

According to him, a stream can be seen on the map.

So you can go there to replenish your water supply when it's insufficient.

But.

Are there really that many people who can accept water from the wild? When Ryuen uses water for drinking, they manufacture filtration devices using locally sourced materials.

But ordinary students may not be able to do this.

Although, as the manual just mentioned, one should return to the starting point to replenish water, the entire island has 100 areas. Who can keep returning to the starting point to replenish water?

Therefore, 3 bottles of water are still not enough.

And.

There was no air conditioning in this area while we were queuing, so even on the ship, we could feel the heat.

The scorching sun was clearly baking the water and the boats, and naturally the islands were no different.

Then you need to quickly move to the designated location to score points according to the instructions.

Both the energy and physical strength will be severely depleted.

This would increase the risk of heatstroke and dehydration.

So, although Ryuen mentioned that we could go to the water source to secure it after the exam started, it's also possible that he would collapse before even reaching the water source.

So Hachiman mentioned it in the class group chat for Second Year Class D.

The students in the class chose to stock up on more water.

Each person can now carry five bottles of water. Additionally, each group will receive an extra bottle-type water purifier at a higher price.

Each person should retain at least 200 resource points to support GPS location tracking, which will be available starting on the sixth day.

Even with this arrangement, it still seems a bit inadequate.

Because if they have the Lead Card, their resource points will increase from 5,000 to 10,000.

But...

Currently, apart from those in Second-year Class A, the number of Lead Card remaining outside is also very small.

So, Second-year Class A still not making any moves?

They finally moved.

"Beep beep!"

Everyone's phones received a mass text message.

The explanation is that Second-year Class A took the lead, indicating that even if the students cannot decide on the supplies to buy in a short time, it doesn't matter. Second-year Class A has collected all the supply points in the class and purchased a large amount of supplies, which will be sold at the starting point of the initial port.

The prices at the school's supply points will double after disembarking, and the convenience store in Second-year Class A does not use supply points for payment, but rather Private Points.

In other words, everyone can replenish their supplies according to the size of their wallets.

This is really good news.

So, the expensive, simple water purifier that costs 4000 resource points on the ship can be saved; it can be purchased from the shop in Second-year Class A after disembarking.

Looking at it this way, I immediately felt much more at ease.

But Hachiman knew that these students would soon find out how ruthless Second-year Class A was.

The 5,000 resource points distributed by the school are different from the initial points distributed to each class last year. The purchasing power of these 5,000 resource points is equivalent to the value of Private Points in the school. In other words, it takes 100 resource points to buy a bottle of mineral water.

However, at the convenience store in Second-year Class A, the bottled water that costs 100 points on the ship will require 500 or even 600 Private Points to purchase.

Of course, you can choose to ask the school for water at the starting line, but you can't take the water with you.

Therefore, although the market for Second-year Class A has been affected, it has not disappeared.

"The students in your class are really good at budgeting."

While the students were busy buying supplies, the teachers were idle at this time.

They gathered together and waited for the exam to begin so they could collect the students' phones.

So Sakagami-sensei said to Majima with a hint of sourness.

"They started by using the resource points obtained from the school to exchange for resources, and then sold them at a high price using their Private Points."

"Regardless of how well they performed on the exam, this income alone is enough for them to make a fortune," Sakagami said.

Actually, he couldn't find topics to talk about with Chabashira, and when he went to Hoshinomiya, Hoshinomiya was really mean; she would only talk to him about topics he liked, or she would ask, "Did you say anything just now?"

Sorry, I wasn't listening.

So Sakagami-sensei approached Majima from Class A.

He, Majima, Hoshinomiya, Chabashira were all students in the same year.

Both he and Majima graduated from Class A, but now Majima is teaching Class A, while he has become the homeroom teacher of Class D.

"..." Of course, Majima-sensei knew that his class of students was different from others.

Therefore, it is normal to adopt certain tactics.

However, he also had some concerns.

Since Sakayanagi and the others chose to open a small shop, it means that most of the students in Class A chose to give up and abandon this exam.

Just get a passable score.

However, this was not a complete surrender. He noticed that Sakayanagi had arranged for Ryuen Katsuragi Second Year Class D and Daichi Ishizaki.
