I was the real villain in the real teaching.

Once Class A's method is implemented, this exam will become a running game where only the 12 favored students will gain benefits.

"Thank you for your concern, Ichinose-san, but we think this is totally fine. We trust the classmates in the class, and after the exam, we can just divide the private points equally."

Having said that, Ichinose Honami couldn't ask any further questions.

Class A refuses to discuss, and Class C does not believe in group cooperation. This group discussion may be difficult to carry out. Tsukishiro Takuma sees the truth clearly.

However, all this has nothing to do with him.

Because the moment you enter this room, the favored one has already surfaced.

Tsukishiro Takuma can end the Tiger Group's exams at any time.

In the end, the group did not reach a consensus until the end of the discussion.

The students in Class A left the room first, with Totsuka glaring fiercely at Tsukishiro Takuma.

The next person to drop out of school will be you, Tsukishiro Takuma thought expressionlessly.

"What should I do next..." Ichinose Honami lay on the table, his eyes fixed on Tsukishiro-kun as if unfocused.

The people in Class C did not stay here any longer and followed Class A to leave.

However, Shiina Hiyori did stay.

"Tsukishiro-kun, shall we go back together?"

The literary girl smiled with a hint of shyness.

Seeing this scene, Ichinose Hoba quickly came to her senses and stared at the two of them closely.

"Let's go. I haven't read the book 'And Then There Were None' yet."

"You'll definitely like it after you see it."

Shiina Hiyori had a smile on her face. She had recommended many books to Takuma Tsukishiro, and found that Takuma Tsukishiro seemed to like Miss Agatha's style very much.

Seeing the two of them walking out of the room together, Ichinose Honami quickly called out to Tsukishiro Takuma: "Tsukishiro-kun, do you have time tonight?"

at night?

Tsukishiro Takuma looks very strange. This sentence can easily be misunderstood, Ichinose-san.

Fortunately, Ichinose Honami also realized this and explained, "I have something to tell you about what happened a few days ago."

Tsukishiro Takuma thought for a moment and replied, "I'm not free tonight, but I may be free tomorrow."

"It's okay. If you have time, just send me a message." Ichinose Honami said with a smile.

Thus, the first gathering of the Tiger Group ended here.

Sakura Airi watched Tsukishiro Takuma walk away with a girl she didn't know, and she couldn't help feeling disappointed. She completely ignored Yamauchi and went back to the dormitory alone.

-

"Tsukishiro-kun seems to be very popular with women."

Hearing what Shiina Hiyori said, Tsukishiro Takuma turned the book to the next page without changing his expression, and said, "It's just that you have too few friends. I usually play with boys too."

"I'll be sad if you say something like that." Shiina Hiyori rarely made a little joke, and she was a little excited.

At this time, the two were not alone in a room, but sitting in the rest area of ​​the cruise ship, where there were parasols and lounge chairs, and there were shops selling various ice drinks and food not far away.

Shiina Hiyori returned to the dormitory and gave him the novel, so he suggested coming here.

"Do you want me to introduce some friends to you?" asked Takuma Tsukishiro.

Seeing Shiina Hiyori's hesitation, he added, "They also like to read, but they are not readers of mystery novels."

"Yes!" Shiina Hiyori nodded, "I want to meet Tsukishiro-kun's friends."

Tsukishiro Takuma shifted his gaze. The girl's smile became brighter, and she also became radiant.

"By the way, Tsukishiro-kun's friend...who is the friend who likes mystery novels?"

Tsukishiro Takuma broke out in a cold sweat. He remembered that he had made up a fictitious friend with Shiina Hiyori in the library before. He didn't expect that Shiina Hiyori had not forgotten it until now.

"He's been busy lately and doesn't have time." Tsukishiro Takuma remained calm.

"What a pity, I really wanted to meet him." Shiina Hiyori's eyes were full of smiles. Of course she knew that Tsukishiro Takuma was making friends out of nothing, because this guy just said that he had no friends.

"Ahem, aren't you worried about Ryuen-san?" Tsukishiro Takuma chose to change the subject, and was also curious about this aspect.

"Are you talking about the uninhabited island?"

"Correct."

“I don’t like to get involved in class confrontations, but I don’t feel disgusted by it.”

Shiina Hiyori stretched out her little leather shoes and stepped lightly on the shadow of the parasol. She then turned to look at Tsukishiro Takuma, tilted her head slightly, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Because we are in different classes, it is understandable that Tsukishiro-kun attacked our Class C, so I am not angry at all. However, Ryuuen-kun has a big goal, so I don't know if he will be angry."

Of course he would be angry, he was just trying to control himself at the moment.

"I'm sorry to ask you that."

"Don't feel sorry. In fact, I also believe in my heart that Ryuuen-kun might be able to achieve that goal."

There was a hint of doubt in Tsukishiro Takuma's eyes. What did that goal mean?

If you want to get into Class A, you can just say it directly.

"We are lucky to be in the same group for this exam." Shiina Hiyori smiled shyly.

The preferential examination was not an obvious competition between classes, and there was also free time for discussion. She thought that next time if she had the chance, she could just sit next to Tsukishiro Takuma and discuss the novel together.

062 Hiding Yourself as a Favorer

As the first group discussion came to an end, Horikita Suzune thought about talking to Tsukishiro Takuma.

Unexpectedly, it showed as unread, and she couldn't help feeling tired.

Does that guy really not need her?

Horikita Suzune patted her cheeks. She had to stay calm because Tsukishiro Takuma had already revealed some key points about the exam to her.

The key point is why the school is divided into 12 groups and what are the rules for the school to select preferential students?

At first, Horikita Suzune thought that whatever Tsukishiro Takuma said was the same as if he hadn't said anything, until she participated in the group discussion and gradually realized the problem.

Whether it was Katsuragi who adopted the silent tactic, Kanzaki from Class B, or Ryuen Sho from Class C, they all kept their eyes on the members of the same group and were wary of each other.

Horikita Suzune originally thought that she had to find the one who treated the best among the 14 people, just like in the Werewolf game.

She was almost misled.

It is impossible for the school to randomly put together 12 groups and randomly select one or two favored students. As long as the pattern is found, the answer will be obvious.

Tsukishiro Takuma said those words to tell her not to think about who was being favored in meaningless discussions, but to find the answer to the question in the rules of the exam.

There are very few clues at the moment. We only know that the names of the 12 groups are taken from the 12 earthly branches, the number of favored people is equal, and there will be discussions within the groups...

By the way, here’s today’s self-introduction!

Horikita Suzune felt vaguely that she had grasped something, but she never caught that moment of inspiration, so she thought about meeting Tsukishiro Takuma.

Too bad that bastard is gone again.

Takuma Tsukishiro was catching up on sleep in the dormitory. He chatted with Hiyori Shiina for more than two hours, and then they went back to their dormitories.

He didn't wake up until dusk.

"Are you awake, Tsukishiro-kun?"

For some reason, Hirata Yosuke was watching his expression from the side.

"Do you want to go out for dinner together?" Takuma Tsukishiro glanced at the time. It was already past six in the afternoon.

"Of course that's no problem, but can we chat for a moment?"

Tsukishiro Takuma looked behind Hirata Yosuke and found that Okitani and Sotomura were both sitting on the sofa, looking a little embarrassed. There was also a boy next to them, whose name seemed to be Yukimura.

Could it be that the matter of the uninhabited island has been exposed?

While pondering the whole process, he sat up and nodded slightly to Hirata Yosuke to indicate that he had no objection.

"Actually, I want to discuss the exam." Hirata Yosuke said, "We all belong to different groups. Tsukishiro-kun, you belong to the Tiger Group, Okitani-kun belongs to the Snake Group, Sotomura-kun and Yukimura-kun belong to the Rabbit Group, and I belong to the Dragon Group. It will be better if we can communicate with each other."

So that's what's going on. After all, the exam has just begun and a lot of information is needed.

"Have you made any progress?" Tsukishiro Takuma asked bluntly.

"No, no, the atmosphere became dull after I introduced myself." Okiya replied weakly.

Sotomura touched his stomach. He had just come back from dinner and said nonchalantly, "It's the same here. Yukimura-dono looks very anxious."

Is this guy's accent intentional?

I always feel so angry that I can't help but want to beat him up.

"I'm not in a hurry. Isn't it natural for everyone to share the information they have with their companions?" Yukimura retorted.

Afterwards, Takuma Tsukishiro also briefly explained the situation of the Tiger Group.

Hirata Yosuke smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that everyone is basically the same."

"In that case, isn't Hirata-dono also a favored person?"

"No."

"That's a shame. I thought only outstanding students like Hirata-dono would be chosen as the favored ones."

Hirata Yosuke smiled and did not continue the sentence. Instead, he changed the subject: "In fact, a favored student in the class contacted me."

"Huh? Really?"

"Well, who is that?"

"Who is it?"

Yukimura and the others couldn't help but ask Hirata Yosuke, but Hirata Yosuke just looked at Tsukishiro Takuma.

"I can tell you, but he told me because he trusts me, so please keep it a secret."

"Of course!"

Hirata Yosuke typed a line of words on his mobile phone, and then sent it to Tsukishiro Takuma and others.

"The one from the horse team is Minami-kun."

“Huh? Could it be Nanjun?”

"Aren't there two Nan-kun? Which one is this?"

"Idiot, there's only one Nanjun in the horse group."

Tsukishiro Takuma also remembered who this Nanjun was, and he now had the names of two favored people.

"The number of favored students is equal in each class, which means there are still two favored students in the class who remain silent." Tsukishiro Takuma said.

Hirata Yosuke nodded and said, "That's right, but I guess they just didn't discuss it with me."

"I envy those who are treated preferentially. I want points too." Waimura said in an inappropriate tone.

Tsukishiro Takuma asked, "Sotomura-san, who in the Rabbit Group do you think might be the one being favored?"

Waimura was a little surprised that Yu Yuecheng Takuma would talk to him. He pondered for a while and said hesitantly, "Yu Yuecheng-dono is putting me in a difficult position..."

"Who else is in the same class?"

"Besides Yukimura-dono, there are also Karuizawa-san and a girl named Aya... Aya-kouji?"

Ayanokouji Kiyoko is much more low-key than I thought. She is so cute, but no one can remember her right away.

Then, Takuma Tsukishiro asked a few more details about Ayanokouji Kiyoko, but Sotomura answered vaguely. He even asked Takuma Tsukishiro a question in return at the end.
