The Long Competition Officially Begins-and Tsukishiro Wants to Watch the Show! (Continued)

But... what the staff handed over... was still green.

It wasn't until I got the third one that it turned blue.

But he's a thrifty person, so the two extra green hats can now come in handy.

Considering the possibility of rainy days, he also bought raincoats for all three of them.

In this way.

After determining their direction of movement, the three began their operation.

The sand on the ground was scorching hot, but fortunately there was no strange terrain along the way, so the three of them moved forward at a steady pace of 12 minutes per area.

Then, at the 53rd minute, they picked up Satsuki Shinohara, who had been staying put after disembarking.

"I'm here!" The other person looked a little listless, but immediately waved when he saw Hachiman and the other two arrive.

Actually, waiting here alone must have made you feel a little uneasy.

However, she had good emotional intelligence and didn't say anything.

"Um, how do we start forming a team?" Shinohara asked.

"Just take out your tablet and send a team request to any one of the three of us," Hachiman said.

"Good!"

Soon, Hachiman saw that Komiyama had taken out his tablet, but he found that his tablet had received a team-up request.

"..."

Is this Shinohara finally choosing to apply to him for a team?

Although Shinohara had always hoped that Shinohara would Komiyama, it seems that Shinohara is leaning more towards him in terms of trust.

The atmosphere in this group is definitely weird.

But.

[Team formed successfully; member Satsuki Shinohara added successfully.]

Your schedule has been changed.

[Beep! The new designated area is C3. Please go to this area to check in within 67 minutes.]

It seems my guess was right; after forming teams, the system randomly selects one team's schedule to follow. And the system chose Shinohara's schedule.

The C3 region is very close to the D3 region.

So you could say you were pretty lucky.

The four of them didn't continue to be coy.

Certainly.

Throughout the process, Komiyama kept glancing at Shinohara, seemingly keeping an eye on her backpack.

I guess I was thinking about how to ask the other person to help me with their things.

While observing them, Hachiman also noticed that Ibuki seemed to be staring at his backpack as well.

"..."

No, Ibuki, you don't need that.

Hachiman hasn't stooped so low as to need a girl to help him carry his luggage.

"Drop!"

"Score +1!"

"Score +1!"

Hachiman and his group arrived at area C3. Upon arrival, they found that only one teacher remained there, holding something that looked like a barcode scanner.

You can enter a score and then scan the students' wristbands to award points.

There were hardly any other students left at the scene.

One reason is that they arrived very late, and the other is that a problem has already arisen.

The students began heading to the topics they had chosen that suited them.

Hachiman opened the map and immediately saw the topic that Majima-sensei had given as an example on the ship.

In the actual exam, the information on the topics provided on the map is much more detailed.

It includes location, content, and compensation.

Fourteen topics were presented.

The closest distance to the current C3 area is only two areas away.

In addition to the location, you can also see what the exam questions are for different topics.

Hachiman casually clicked on one of the topics.

The proposed task is a field skills assessment.

However, Hachiman discovered that this assessment was merely a skill for wilderness survival.

The content is roughly that the school prepared the tools needed to start a fire, and the participating students needed to have some knowledge of wilderness survival to make the corresponding choices. The one who could start a fire the fastest would win.

The first place winner will receive 5 points as a reward.

The second place winner will receive 3 points.

Then, no one is rewarded for placing second or below.

Hachiman then clicked on another topic suggested on the map.

The topic was an English exam.

The first-place team receives 5 points, the second-place team receives 3 points, and the third-place team receives 1 point. The teams that achieve the same ranking will receive enough ingredients for 3 people for the evening.

Then continue to look at other topics.

Hachiman discovers there is a test on geographical knowledge.

This topic is worth a lot of points.

The first place winner gets 10 points. The second place winner gets 5 points. The third place winner gets 3 points.

Therefore, Hachiman saw that the two groups of third-grade students were heading directly towards the geography knowledge test topics. And both groups of third-grade students were from Third-year Class B.

It seems that third-year students still hope to get points in this exam.

So this is Third-year Class B, who are working hard.

As a junior, Hachiman also hopes that the seniors will break free from Nagumo's influence and return to their fighting spirit.

Only.

"Hachiman, which topic are we going to work on next?" Shinohara asked.

What topic should we choose?

Now everyone has one point, so there's no need to compete for the top three. The top 50% of groups will receive a reward of 50,000 points, and the top 70% of groups will receive a reward of 10,000 points, so there's no need to compete for those either.

Because this is a maximum of 60,000 points, and then it's split equally among 4 people, meaning each person only gets 15,000 points, nobody would be interested.

So you can just get a few points every day to keep the group active and then slack off.

But now it seems that Shinohara doesn't think so.

Instead, they seem to be using them as leverage to rack up points.

But now, facing the trusting gaze of his former classmates, Hachiman couldn't bring himself to say that they were going to give up now.

So he said.

"Let's go take the English exam."

Although that topic was a bit further away and didn't yield many points, Hachiman remembered that Horikita's initial disembarkation point was in that area.

So if you're lucky, you might run into one.

Furthermore, according to the map, there is a section of river in that area, making it suitable for camping at night.

"An English exam?" However, as soon as he said this, Hachiman noticed that the expressions of his companions around him seemed to freeze.

Um.

These are all academically weak students; it's really asking too much of them to take the exam.

"I will be in charge of participating later," Hachiman said. "The English assignment only requires one student from each group to participate."

"That's fine." Komiyama immediately raised both hands in agreement.

Actually, he would approve of Hachiman chooses.

This was Ryuen's instruction, and at the same time, he felt relieved.

He had already picked up Shinohara, and he knew that Ike from Class C had been bothering Shinohara lately, occasionally spotting the two of them meeting in the Shopping Street, so he was worried that Shinohara would be pursued by someone else.

We have to make a show of it.

In this way.

After a long journey, Komiyama finally got his wish and received Shinohara's luggage, earning Shinohara's gratitude.

But Hachiman thought of was something Classmate Sakayanagi had once said.

That means a simp won't get any affection.

Especially in matters of love.

Of course, these are just some of the things Kushida usually says in his speech.

She has many friends and has witnessed many couples break up and get back together.

But.

Even though you understand this so clearly, why don't you want to have a normal relationship when it's your turn, Kushida?

On the other side...

"Ah Qiu—"

Once inside the woods, the little angel with medium-length golden hair sneezed.

"Kikyo, are you alright?"

"Are you feeling unwell?" The petite girl with twin ponytails asked with concern as she walked alongside Kushida.

Because this exam lasts for 14 days, and if you feel unwell, you will be forced to withdraw, so maintaining your physical condition is very important.

"No, no. It's probably just someone talking badly about me," Kushida said.

"Huh? There are actually people who would say bad things about Kikyo?" Meiyu Wang found it unbelievable.

But Kushida changed the subject.

She knows who usually talks about her; it's either Hachiman Hikigaya or Suzune Horikita, and now there are also Ichika Amasawa and Yagami Takuya.

"But Miu-chan, is it really okay not to take the [English exam]?" Kushida asked.

The topic has emerged.

"If you take the English exam, you'll definitely get a good score," Kushida said.

"Oh, not at all. Actually, there are many people who are very good at Academic Ability." Meiyu Wang was quite modest. "Besides, we've already checked in at the first designated area and got the points. Now we should be picking up Ichinose as agreed."

Ichinose, Ichinose and her classmate Chihiro Shiranam.

Then, because the two classes are taking the exam together, Kushida's group and Ichinose's group will be combined into a larger group after the exam begins.

According to Ichinose's plan, both sides would first take the first designated area to check in and score points, and then head to the starting point to meet at the supply point.

Then, there are some suitable assignments for Meiyu Wang that have appeared now, so she can complete the assignments first and then meet up with Ichinose.

"Mmm." Kushida respected Meiyu Wang's opinion.
