Practical teaching, all I want is your reward.

"If Sakayanagi-san hears you say something like that, she might kill you."

Hashimoto Masayoshi smiled, then stepped back, placing his hands behind his head, and said in a low voice as if sighing, "You're different from Katsuragi. Katsuragi would definitely lose to the princess, but I can't see through you..."

At this point, someone turned off the lantern, plunging the entire cave into darkness.

"I'm really looking forward to seeing how you'll help Katsuragi defeat the person the princess mentioned."

Hashimoto Masayoshi shifted, adjusting to a most comfortable position. Seemingly not intending to give Suzuki Toru a chance to speak, he said with satisfaction, "Lights out, finally I can sleep."

Like the Katsuragi faction, the Sakayanagi faction followed Sakayanagi Arisu because they believed she could lead Class A to an even greater victory.

If a more suitable option were available, most people would immediately switch sides.

Suzuki Toru closed his eyes, trying to stop thinking about it.

……

Kiyotaka Ayanokouji suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze sweeping over everyone in the tent, and unsurprisingly, he saw the boys fast asleep.

He silently got up, tiptoed out of the tent, and then went to the girl's tent, expressionlessly rummaging through a backpack.

Because the space inside the tent was too small, Class D had to leave their personal belongings outside the tent.

The reason for searching the backpack was not because Kiyotaka Ayanokouji wanted to steal anything, but to confirm one thing.

"A digital camera?" Kiyotaka Ayanokouji took the camera out of his backpack, examined it briefly, and found no signs of use or data.

Before disembarking, the class advisor will check the luggage. In principle, no one should be able to take a camera off the ship, especially since this person is not a classmate.

This is Ibuki Mio's backpack; it belongs to the C-class student they took in last night.

When Hirata Yosuke organized everyone to go out for reconnaissance and collect food, Yamauchi Haruki and the others found the badly injured Ibuki Mio in the forest.

Although Kiyotaka Ayanokoji was also present, he did nothing but watch as Haruki Yamauchi forcefully brought Mio Ibuki back.

Upon returning to the camp, Hirata Yosuke and Kushida Kikyo, after learning about the situation, immediately agreed to take in Ibuki Mio.

They couldn't leave an injured girl out in the wild, especially since Ibuki Mio said that Class C had exiled her because of some dispute.

Chapter 130 Ayanokouji's Actions

Kiyotaka Ayanokoji pointed a mineral water bottle at the digital camera and gently poured some water into it, causing damage to some parts of the camera.

To ensure that the fingerprints were removed, he deliberately wet a tissue and wiped the camera back and forth.

After doing all this, Kiyotaka Ayanokouji put it back as if nothing had happened.

When he returned to the tent, he found that Hirata Yosuke had also woken up.

"Good morning, Ayanokouji-san."

Did I wake you up?

"No, I just can't sleep. It's so uncomfortable here, my back hurts so much." Hirata Yosuke grimaced. "But I can bear this little hardship. If we hadn't updated the base before roll call, we might have had to sleep in an even worse place."

Simply occupying a stronghold in advance allows you to delay others without doing anything.

After all, the flat land next to this river was perfect for a campsite, requiring no additional preparations, and the reconnaissance team hadn't found a more suitable place for Class D.

They had no choice but to endure until after 7 p.m., when the outpost was finally reset, and then told Chabashira Sae that they wanted to use this place as their camp.

Since the outpost couldn't be used during the day, Class D quickly assembled tents and toilets at night, and then fell into a deep sleep from exhaustion.

"Because of the extra tents purchased and the temporary toilets installed at the school, plus various living supplies, I used up more than 70 exam points yesterday."

Seeing Hirata Yosuke calculating the exam points, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka added, "We also need to add that Koenji withdrew from the exam, which resulted in us losing thirty points."

“Yes, sometimes you really can’t do anything about him.” Hirata Yosuke sighed as if he had a headache.

During yesterday's reconnaissance mission, Rokusuke Koenji also volunteered to participate.

However, the other party never returned, and they only found out later when Chabashira Sae told them that Koenji Rokusuke had withdrawn from the exam due to feeling unwell.

"Although I have taken into account all the expenses, to be honest, I'm not very confident that I'll be able to save 100 points in the end."

Currently, in Class D, Hirata Yosuke is the sole mediator of all conflicts, striving to achieve a result that satisfies everyone.

“You’ve worked hard. If you can’t keep going, you can hand this job over to someone else, right?” Ayanokoji Kiyotaka asked.

“That’s a good suggestion. I’m only doing this because I like it. If anyone has a better option, I’ll be happy to give it up.” Hirata Yosuke smiled. “However, it seems there isn’t anyone like that right now. Let’s go along with everyone’s ideas until then.”

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka seemed to be deep in thought; he probably needed a suitable candidate.

As the morning sunlight streamed into Class D's tent, a new day began.

After roll call at 8 a.m., Hirata Yosuke was assigning tasks to everyone, including setting up the camp as soon as possible and sending people out to collect food.

However, no one expected that the people from Class C would take the initiative to come to them.

"Hehehe, the trash in Class D is indeed living the life of savages."

Several boys from Class C stood on the outskirts of the camp, holding potato chips and casting mocking glances at them. They occasionally nibbled on the chips, clearly watching the spectacle with amusement.

"Damn it, are you planning to come here to scout or to provoke us?!" Sudo Ken rolled up his sleeves, his expression hostile.

"Hmph, a gorilla whose head is full of violence." Someone scoffed, looking at Ibuki Mio not far away, "Hey, idiot, I didn't expect you to hang out with this kind of trash."

Ibuki Mio pursed her lips and silently turned away, hiding in the shadows of the tent.

"What are you talking about!"

“Longyuan said that if you bunch of trash want to enjoy a wonderful holiday, you’d better come to the beach. We’ll share a dreamlike time that will make you hate your stupid lives.”

"What kind of nonsense is this?"

After provoking them for a while, the students from Class C left Class D's camp before they were attacked.

Kiyotaka Ayanokoji then looked away, thought for a moment, and then found Suzune Horikita.

"Would you like to go and have a look together?"

"It's really strange to hear such words from you."

"Anyway, there's nothing else to do."

Perhaps needing some time to consider, Kiyotaka Ayanokouji waited a few minutes before Suzune Horikita slowly emerged from the tent.

"Are you feeling unwell?"

“This has nothing to do with you,” Horikita Suzune said coldly. “I don’t have much time, let’s set off now.”

Kiyotaka Ayanokoji nodded, and then called over Kikyo Kushida.

"what do you mean?"

"Because Kushida is very popular, things will definitely go smoothly with her around."

Although Horikita Suzune looked terrible, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka felt that since he hadn't been hit, it could be taken as her consent.

So, Kiyotaka Ayanokouji and his group quickly arrived at Class C's camp.

Just as the people in Class C said, Class C is enjoying their holiday time, surfing, having outdoor barbecues, playing beach volleyball, and enjoying various food, drinks, and entertainment items, roughly estimating that they have spent one or two hundred points.

Not only that, in response to their arrival, Long Yuanxiang announced that Class C would not participate in this special exam, and would immediately withdraw and return to the cruise ship after using up their exam points.

Some people attempted to rebel against his extravagant spending, but they were met with violence and were eventually exiled.

Because it was only Ryuen Sho's side of the story, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka only listened to it superficially.

Next, they arrived at Class B's camp.

The enemy camp was in the forest, surrounded by dense trees. They probably lacked a suitable place, so they chose to set up hammocks in the trees.

Class B's experience was similar to Class D's; they both witnessed Class A occupying the stronghold ahead of time.

Ichinose Honami originally intended to abandon this place, but since there was no more suitable place, and there was also a well here, he had no choice but to set up camp on the spot.

Compared to Class C's tendency to give up, Class B is clearly planning to hold on until the very last moment.

Their point usage was almost identical to Hirata Yosuke's, with spending around seventy points.

Class B spends more on various tools, while Class D spends on tents, toilets, and other more comfortable items.

Moreover, some members of Class B know about wilderness survival. For example, they know how to effectively cool down the area by sprinkling water around the campsite and reducing the heat during the day, or they can go fishing on the beach.

What bothered Kiyotaka Ayanokoji was that Class B had also taken in a student from Class C the previous night.

Because they are currently strategic partners, the two sides exchanged their intelligence with great pleasure.

Then, the last stop will be next.

After passing through a lush forest, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji finally saw a valley and the cave below.

His gaze swept over the area casually and then he saw the students from Class A gathered around Suzuki Toru.

What's happening here?

Wait, how come he saw a tuna?!

Chapter 131 Look at Me

Tuna are pelagic fish that rarely appear near the coastline. This is an uninhabited island near the high seas where the school is located, so encountering tuna is not impossible.

The question is, how exactly is Class A going to catch this tuna?

"Hey, there are some weirdos here. Which class are you from?!"

Before Kiyotaka Ayanokouji could even get close to Class A, someone immediately noticed them.

"Don't be nervous, we mean no harm. We just want to exchange some information with the Class A members." Kikyo Kushida smiled, trying her best to keep her gentle voice from upsetting Class A.

At the same time, her gaze fell on Suzuki Tetsu, silently calculating how to reveal Horikita Suzune's identity to him later.

"Isn't that Kushida? What do you mean by exchanging information?" Someone recognized Kushida Kikyo. "It's fine to play around sometimes, but we can't just hand over the victory or defeat in the exam."

Although Class A did not let their guard down, the atmosphere immediately eased considerably.

It seems that having a foreign minister is indeed very convenient; Ayanokoji Kiyotaka began to admire his own choice.

"Haha, that's not what I meant. Have you heard about what happened in Class C?"

"About Class C?"
