People bring their own maids to the training camp

However, Chizuru didn't tell Fanbo about these supposed flaws, as that would make him seem petty and suspicious. After all, the entire B class was full of nice guys.

Therefore, Chihaya plans to bypass Class B and also bypass Kaneda, and go directly to Ryuen.

Since he is an "undercover agent," Kaneda certainly won't expose anything.

However, before Chihaya could even set off, two boys from Class C showed up at her door.

Chihaya watched from afar as two arrogant boys, each holding a bag of potato chips and showing off, took a sip of cola.

"They acted as if they were afraid others wouldn't know what Class C had done."

Hayasaka, who was standing next to Chihaya, commented as follows.

“It’s too deliberate,” Chihaya shook her head, “but the effect is very good.”

With potato chips and cola on the table, it's impossible not to be envious—if it weren't for the potential profit, who would want to play wilderness survival games here? I'm not a Bear Grylls fan.

After speaking, Chihaya walked towards the two students from Class C.

"Greetings, may I ask what brings you two here?"

"Princess Consort, Princess Consort!"

Chihaya's sudden appearance startled the two of them.

Previously, the boys looked at Chihaya with admiration, but now their eyes were filled with terror—as members of Class C, they knew all too well how terrifying the black exchange student, Albert Yamada, was. And Chihaya, such an elegant and beautiful young lady, had actually managed to defeat him with overwhelming force. If she were to cause trouble in Class B now, wouldn't she be asking for a beating? Besides, there were no security cameras in the forest.

"So, is there something you two need?" Chihaya repeated her words with a smile.

"Um, we're here to deliver a message from Ryuen-kun..." one of them said.

"I see. So what did Ryuen-kun say?" Chihaya asked, still smiling at the two of them.

As a result, the two stammered and dared not speak, bumping elbows at each other for a long time. Finally, one of them could not stand Chihaya's "pressure" and repeated Ryuen's words.

“Longyuan said: If you want to fully enjoy your summer vacation, come to the beach right now. You'd better not be shy and come to our place. We will share a dreamlike time that will make you hate your silly life.”

“Okay, thank you, student. Ryuen-kun’s words have indeed reached our Class B,” Chihaya said. “You two can go back and report now.”

The two felt as if they had been granted a pardon and hurriedly turned around and left in a disheveled state.

Chihaya watched the two leave quietly.

"Sharing a dreamlike time, Chihaya, do you understand what they mean?" Honami asked as she walked over.

“I think I have a rough idea.” Chihaya nodded and glanced at Kaneda, who was hanging a hammock not far away. “Since Kaneda didn’t participate in roll call, Class C will definitely have points deducted every time. So instead of letting the school deduct points, we might as well convert all the points into something else—I think that’s how Class C got their potato chips and cola just now.”

"Has Class C gone mad? Even leaving a few dozen points would be good. Is it really okay to squander 300 points like this?" Fanbo stared wide-eyed, looking incredulous.

"It's safe to say that no one but Ryuen could have done this," Kanzaki added. "Shall we go check on Class C?"

“I’ll go,” Chihaya volunteered. “I want to see what Class C is up to.”

"Then I'll go with you," Kanzaki said. "Can I ask Ichinose to take care of the class?"

To prevent Honoka from sailing alongside, Kanzaki decisively took the initiative.

"Okay, no problem, but you guys need to be careful when you go to Class C," Fanbo reminded him.

“No problem.” Chihaya nodded. “Oh, by the way, I found a fishing rod in a certain place yesterday. Honami, could you ask a few boys to go and get it for us? If we can catch any fish, we can save a lot of money.”

"Well, leave it to me."

Chihaya and Kanzaki then left the camp and headed towards Class C's location, which was the beach where they disembarked.

"Is Ryuen really not up to any other scheme?" Kanzaki suddenly asked.

“Of course there is, it’s just not obvious yet,” Chihaya said. “I’ll talk to him in a bit, Kanzaki-kun, you can take a look around their camp and calculate the points used by Class C.”

"it is good."

167. Class C's Strategy

On the beach that can be seen from the dense forest before leaving the forest, there are many students from Class C.

"What an exaggerated scene," Kanzaki commented. "Is it a case of implementing a 'zero-point' strategy to cut losses in time?"

“Class C’s approach has always been unconventional,” Chihaya said. “As for whether it’s the zero-point strategy, we’ll have to ask Kanzaki-kun for that.”

“Okay, leave it to me.” Kanzaki nodded.

It's not surprising that the two would have such a conversation, given the scene before them was truly extravagant.

Needless to say, temporary toilets or showers were provided, but Class C also had a canopy, barbecue sets, chairs, and sun umbrellas. Even snacks and drinks were available. Everything needed for entertainment was provided. There was the smoke of barbecue and the laughter of students. Jet skis raced across the sea, and students screamed and enjoyed themselves immensely. Just by roughly calculating the area within sight, it was clear they had spent at least 150 points.

As soon as the two approached Class C, they saw the location of Dragon Garden.

Wearing only a pair of beach shorts, Ryuen gestured to Chihaya from a distance.

“I’ll go talk to him. Kanzaki-kun, just proceed with the plan.”

Kanzaki nodded and began his work.

Chihaya went straight to Ryuen, and as she got closer, the delicious aroma of grilled meat wafted over.

"I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly, Consort." Long Yuan remained lying on the recliner under the parasol, without moving.

"Ryuen-kun has been so enthusiastic, sending someone with cola and potato chips to invite me. How could I be so ungrateful?" Chihaya said with a business-like smile, sitting down in the empty seat next to Ryuen.

"I love talking to sensible people like you," Ryuen laughed heartily. "Hey Ishizaki, get the guests some cold drinks!"

"Okay, Ryuen-kun!" Ishizaki, who was passing by, responded and quickly ran back with two bottles of cola.

"Since it's a beach, there's naturally no tea for you to drink. You don't mind if you want Coke, do you?" Long Yuan asked.

"Of course, thank you for your generosity, Ryuen-kun." Chihaya had no objection, took the cola, and snapped open the tab.

"Would you like some barbecue?" Long Yuan asked again.

"of course."

"Ishizaki!"

"Coming right away!" Ishizaki immediately took on the role of errand runner again.

"Of all these people, only you, Consort, are here to enjoy yourselves. The others are all fools who refuse to have fun even when offered free of charge."

“Yes, I have no reason to refuse free food and drinks,” Chihaya said with a smile. “Kansaki-kun in our class is calculating the points you’ve used, so I’m sure Ryuen-kun won’t refuse, right?”

"Do as you please. Anyway, I've spent it all. After all, I kicked two guys out of the class who didn't obey me. I'd rather spend it all than let the school deduct all my points."

“A wise choice, but unfortunately it left a flaw—ah, thank you, Ishizaki-kun.” As he spoke, Ishizaki brought over a full plate of grilled meat and handed it to Chihaya.

"Then tell me, what flaw did I slip up?" Ryuen waved for Ishizaki to leave, then stared at Chihaya.

“It’s simple. Since two people were kicked out, besides Kaneda, who was taken in by Class B, there should be another person, right? And I think that person probably wandered around near Class D’s camp and will most likely be taken in by Class D,” Chihaya said calmly. “Then why didn’t we send anyone to Class A?”

"Two guys who dare to defy me are already a lot; not everyone dares to defy me."

"That's too far-fetched, Ryuen-kun. Kaneda-kun is like the strategist of your Class C, and the other person sent to Class C must also be one of your core members. Let me guess—is it Ibuki-kun? She's usually very impatient, and anyone who knows her would never doubt that she would have a conflict with you."

Chihaya paused after speaking, then put a piece of grilled meat into her mouth.

"The students in your class are not very good at grilling meat."

"There are no maids here to grill meat for you, young lady."

"That's true, it's a pity my maid isn't here." Chihaya sighed, then put another bite of meat into her mouth.

"It's quite interesting that Ryuen-kun, you conquered the fighting type of people, including Ishizaki-kun, Yamada-kun, and Ibuki-kun, with your strength. Kaneda-kun, who is the intellectual type, actually dared to resist you. You are indeed a man."

"..."

"Excuse me, Ishizaki-san, could you please get me some more potato chips or something?"

Ishizaki glanced at Ryuen, who nodded, and Ishizaki quickly brought over potato chips.

"Could you please get me another bottle of water?" Chihaya smiled. "Room temperature is fine."

"Wait a moment," Ishizaki said, running towards a tent.

A short while later, a bottle of room temperature water was brought out.

Chihaya took the water and smiled meaningfully at Ryuen.

"That tent probably contains surplus supplies," Chihaya's meaningful smile didn't fade. "Now, I'll have to guess blindly, okay?"

168. For reference only.

"That tent probably contains surplus supplies. Well, I'll just have to guess now, okay?" Chihaya glanced at the tent Ishizaki had just visited.

"Suit yourself." Long Yuan shrugged, his expression unchanged. "It's just a way to avoid being exposed to the sun. You can go in and take a look if you want."

"Is that so?" Chihaya stared at Ryuen, but the latter showed no flaws. "Never mind, there's no need for that."

"Hmph, I've already said I was just leading my class in enjoying the summer. I've used up all my points, which means I'm not your enemy in this exam. You understand?"

"Of course, after all, Class C starts at midnight and doesn't seem to be planning to check in and claim the stronghold."

"Surviving in the wild on this scorching deserted island? Don't be ridiculous. To get a measly hundred or two hundred class points, you classes have to endure hunger, heat, and emptiness. I can't help but laugh just thinking about it."

“Class B currently has 860 class points, while Class C only has 640. If Class C gets 0 points in this exam, the gap with Class B will widen to about 400 points.” Chihaya analyzed while eating meat. “So what’s the reason that you, Ryuen, are sitting on the sidelines? Your two ‘spies’? Obviously not. Guessing the leader is a high-reward but low-accuracy activity. That must just be a bonus in your plan, so you must have a main plan.”

Ryuen remained silent, but Chihaya noticed a subtle movement in the arm that was behind Ryuen's head.

“Now let me reveal what I call my blind guess, Ryuen-kun—” Chihaya then lowered her voice, “You made a deal with Class A, didn’t you? Class A deliberately chose a cave that was out of sight, just to avoid other classes seeing how they spent their points, right?”

"..." Ryuen fell silent. Things had developed to this point, and even if he denied it, Chihaya wouldn't believe him.

"Well, it's just my personal speculation after all," Chihaya's voice returned to normal volume. "It's only for reference at best."

“What a formidable woman, Princess.” Ryuen sat up. “It’s interesting that someone with such a mind would willingly serve under Ichinose.”

"Fanbo and I are friends, and we don't have a superior-subordinate relationship, which is different from your Class C."

"Hmph, it's just a game of make-believe," Long Yuan said dismissively.

"That might be how Longyuan sees it, but even so, aren't you leading Class C forward in your own way instead of just thinking about your own promotion?"

"whispering sound."

"Anyway, just take this as a joke, Ryuen-kun. Your plan has nothing to do with me. What I can tell you is that I'm currently not too happy with a certain student in Class A, so I want to target Class A a bit." Chihaya smiled and said, "I think Ryuen-kun should understand what I mean. Just like you said, you are not our enemy in this exam."

“Of course.” Long Yuan relaxed a little. “But you had better protect your leaders. Don’t blame me if I guessed it.”
