Practical teaching, all I want is your reward.

"Two things to note: do not make a sound before you see the leader, so as not to disturb Class A."

While it makes sense, Kiyotaka Ayanokouji doesn't think it's that easy to win over the leader of Class A.

However, the reality was unexpected.

He hid in the woods beside the tower, and soon saw someone walking towards him.

In an instant, Kiyotaka Ayanokouji's pupils contracted; he only saw one person.

Why is there only one person?

Something's not right. How can Class A be so confident?

As the other person approached, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji could barely hide the shock on his face.

There's no mistake, he'd recognize this person even if they were reduced to ashes.

Toru Suzuki!

Especially as he got closer and closer to the tower, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji subconsciously held his breath, and for a moment he felt a sense of tension that he hadn't felt in a long time.

It's probably not the leader; Suzuki Toru is likely here to check on the situation. The leader is still behind.

The view from here is too expansive, making it easy for others to see your photo-taking, which is too risky.

Normally, Class A wouldn't send someone here openly to check in.

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka remained calm as he silently watched Suzuki Toru walk to the tower and then take out something that looked like a key card.

Even the highest masterpiece of reason falls silent at this moment.

Chapter 141 I'll make sure he never returns! (Paying Off Debts 6/15)

No, it shouldn't be like that. It's more likely that they're deliberately trying to lure potential lurkers into making them react inappropriately. The real leader is still behind them.

Judging from Suzuki Tetsu's usual behavior, it's impossible that the other party was unaware of the consequences of this action.

Kiyotaka Ayanokouji took a deep breath. He believed in the other person's abilities. He was capable of becoming the vice president of the student council and even managing to trick Suzune Horikita. Surely he wouldn't expose the leader of his class.

So, under his slightly anxious gaze, Suzuki Toru silently aimed his key card at the card reader.

Although he couldn't hear a sound, Kiyotaka Ayanokouji felt that he heard a click, indicating that the card's status had been successfully refreshed on the machine.

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Kiyotaka Ayanokoji strained to look down the alley behind him, trying to find a figure who might be the leader, but there wasn't even a shadow of a person in sight.

No matter how he looked at it, the only person standing under the tower was Suzuki Toru, and that person was a student from Class A.

Every move he made told Kiyotaka Ayanokouji that the other person was definitely the leader of Class A.

Kiyotaka Ayanokouji felt a sense of absurdity. Could it be that the opponent he had been thinking about and being wary of all along was actually just an idiot?

No, something's definitely wrong.

This action is like raising a torch high in a dark forest while shouting at the people around you, whether they are children or Voldemort.

Compared to the former, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji was more convinced that Toru Suzuki was likely seducing him.

Whom are you trying to seduce?

Kiyotaka Ayanokoji subconsciously looked in Horikita Suzune's direction. What would Horikita's reaction be at this moment?

If it were Horikita Suzune, she probably wouldn't be able to suppress the smile on her face, and one can easily imagine her eagerly writing her name on the paper.

This is a very normal reaction. Most people, when they see their plans come to fruition, will not think too deeply about it. Instead, they will despise their opponent's stupidity.

However, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji thought of a crucial question, one that he had been pondering for a long time.

A leader cannot be replaced without a legitimate reason.

Judging from this rule, it seems difficult to change leaders, but the school has not blocked this path.

If it were reversed, leaders could be replaced if there were legitimate reasons. The only question is what the school defines as legitimate reasons.

Koenji Rokusuke used the excuse of feeling unwell, and the school staff immediately agreed to let him return to the cruise ship.

So, could a leader also use this pretext to withdraw from the exam and then have the class elect a new leader?

Thinking about this, Kiyotaka Ayanokouji finally understood Toru Suzuki's thoughts.

Losing thirty points would cause the opponent to guess the leader wrong, resulting in a gain of fifty points – it's a win no matter how you look at it.

Kiyotaka Ayanokouji felt a chill run down his spine. As expected of someone suspected to be from the White House, he was all too familiar with this kind of tactic!

But, will Horikita Suzune be able to tell?

……

Horikita Suzune was also taken aback when she saw the familiar figure appear before her.

Initially, she shared the same doubts as Kiyotaka Ayanokouji, but after seeing Toru Suzuki place the key card on the machine, she completely dispelled her doubts.

As is well known, only leaders can operate the key cards.

She only needs to wait for Suzuki Tetsu to leave, and she will soon know the final answer.

It's shameful and laughable that I could lose to someone like that!

Horikita Suzune shook her head. She felt her head was heavy and her body was fluctuating between hot and cold. She couldn't pay attention to anything else and only had one thought in her mind.

She wins!

Next, Horikita Suzune felt that she only needed to do two things.

One option is to fill in Suzuki Toru's name before the exam ends, and the other is to sell this information to Class B in exchange for enough personal points.

So she watched silently as Suzuki Toru left without making a sound.

Strangely, Suzuki Toru seemed to glance in Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's direction before leaving. Did he discover something?

Horikita Suzune tried her best to stay awake. Since the other party didn't react at all, they probably didn't notice her and Ayanokoji Kiyotaka.

A few minutes later, she came out of the woods and went to the check-in device. Sure enough, she saw the countdown on it, which meant that Suzuki Toru had updated her status.

“I didn’t expect the leader of Class A to be so careless.” Kiyotaka Ayanokouji appeared beside her. “Generally speaking, we either choose to send someone to guard this place, or we cautiously abandon it.”

Horikita Suzune frowned slightly at his insolence and calmly said, "Class A is not an insurmountable force. They also make mistakes. Being overconfident is not necessarily a good thing."

Kiyotaka Ayanokouji looked at her silently. Did this girl really understand what he meant?

Was my hint too subtle?

I initially thought Suzuki Toru was after Horikita Suzune, but now that I think about it carefully, that might not be the case.

Kiyotaka Ayanokoji recalled that moment just now, when he had also noticed Toru Suzuki's gaze.

The other person's eyes were undisguised, as if they could see through the forest, spotting his presence at a glance, and revealing a hint of amusement.

Although it was only for a fleeting moment, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji realized that he had been exposed.

Not only was he exposed, but the other party was actually targeting him.

It seemed that Horikita Suzune was out of the question, and Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's mood became somewhat somber.

Speaking of which, there's still a bugging device in his room that hasn't been dealt with.

No one knew who installed it in his room, nor when it appeared. By the time Ayanokoji Kiyotaka noticed, it was already July.

He didn't remove it immediately, so as not to alert the people behind it.

I've heard that some listening devices can be used continuously for two or three months, so Kiyotaka Ayanokoji plans to dismantle them again during the summer vacation to see if he can find any clues.

Now, he suspects it was Toru Suzuki's doing.

"How are you feeling?" Ayanokoji Kiyotaka suddenly asked with concern.

"I'm perfectly fine, don't overthink it." Horikita Suzune appeared calm and composed, but fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Her body couldn't take it after just half an hour of hiding in the woods.

"You're not planning to keep going until the exam is over, are you?" Kiyotaka Ayanokoji continued to ask.

Horikita Suzune was silent for a moment: "If I give up now, wouldn't all my efforts have been in vain?"

In other words, she really will endure it until the exam is over.

Kiyotaka Ayanokouji's eyes gleamed. Faced with Toru Suzuki's invitation, his brain was working at full speed, considering potential targets around him.

The other party was suspected to be someone from the White House, so he dared not let his guard down at all. He even began to suspect that Chabashira Sae might also know some inside information, which was why she was threatening him at this time.

"We're going to Class B next. Ichinose-kun should be happy to know this, but unfortunately there are no photos."

Horikita Suzune planned to complete the transaction as soon as possible and then return to the camp to rest, as her body couldn't withstand being outside for too long.

Kiyotaka Ayanokouji followed behind her in silence, a general plan gradually forming in his mind.

Regardless of whether Suzuki Toru is a member of the White House, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka will ensure that he never leaves alive!

Chapter 142 The Turmoil in Class D (Paying Back Debts 7/15)

They thought Class B would agree, but they were rejected.

"Although I really want to believe you, I'm afraid it won't convince you to take the risk of filling in Suzuki-kun's name based on just one sentence."

Faced with Horikita Suzune's suggestion, Ichinose Honami felt a little apologetic, because that wasn't actually her reason.

“You can fill in his name before the exam ends, and pay the individual points after the exam results are released.” Horikita Suzune had no choice but to back down, knowing that her words sounded weak.

Unfortunately, the school doesn't allow students to bring cell phones onto the island, so she couldn't possibly have any evidence.

Either steal Suzuki Toru's key card, or... wait, she can invite Ichinose Honami next time, right?

"What if I answer incorrectly?" Ichinose Honami asked matter-of-factly.

Horikita Suzune, on the contrary, said, "According to the update schedule, he will come again around 2 PM tomorrow. Why don't you ambush us again?"

Honami Ichinose paused slightly, realizing that she couldn't refuse this suggestion.

“I’ll go with you.” Ryuji Kanzaki, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up.

At this point, Ichinose Honami had no choice but to agree.
