Real teaching, but diary flow

If that's the case... then the plan probably doesn't need to be changed.

Okay, now it's up to Masumi.

"Teacher, I am not feeling well and would like to withdraw from the exam."

So, with a smile on her face, Miss Sakayanagi Arisu, after a moment of brainstorming, her face pale, said softly.

She seems to be dying.

Chapter 198 Now, I am the biggest radical.

Miss Alice left the stage with a 30-point deduction.

Although she seemed to have done something before leaving, to be honest, Asakusa Tetsu couldn't understand why she would make such a special trip down here to suffer for so long.

...Could it be because they have doubts about the rules I wrote down?

Seriously, is there no basic trust between people anymore?!

Humph.

However, it was still quite a pity. Asakusa Tetsu thought he would unexpectedly witness the little princess surviving on a deserted island with everyone.

It turned out she only came down to confirm the exam rules, and then ran away after listening.

It's truly fortunate that Class B had no complaints; they really are the high-quality talents selected by the school.

They have a very strong sense of self-management.

They are adept at using seniority to discriminate against Class D, and skilled at selectively ignoring the shortcomings of their leaders.

Very good cattle and horses.

"Anyway, the rules are as Majima-sensei said. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me~" Hoshinomiya Chie said with a smile. "If not, I'm going to go and get some stickers with my absolute favorite Sae~"

Because of Arisu Sakayanagi, Tomoya Majima announced the 'additional rules' for the class competition well before everyone had confirmed the supplies and lists provided by the school.

That is, the rules of stronghold capture and leader guessing.

Basically, it's all stuff he's mentioned before.

The few details not mentioned are nothing more than the specific list of supplies provided, and the fact that each class is provided with an "unlimited supply" of "absorbent cloths" and "plastic bags" in the simple toilets.

These are all points that can be utilized, and at least they can be of great help to the survival of the students in the class.

However, these matters are currently unrelated to Toru Asakusa.

Asakusa Toru's job is very simple.

Explore the map and capture points.

and so.

"Anyway, give me the key card first." After glancing at the movements of the other classes, Asakusa Tetsu readily extended his hand to Hoshinomiya Chie.

This special test on the deserted island will now be divided into two battlefields.

One is the limit of survival based on the theoretical minimum consumption; the more you save the initial 300 points, the better.

Secondly, it is a competition of physical strength, speed, and search ability. The earlier you obtain the key card and expand your territory, the greater your advantage will be.

Because, 'using a stronghold occupied by another class without permission will result in a penalty of fifty points'.

He said he would run them over head-on.

"Without discussing it with everyone..." Hoshinomiya Chie shrugged halfway through her sentence: "Okay, I guess we don't need to discuss anything."

That's the good thing about Class A's atmosphere; anyone with their own opinions will receive support.

Even better, there is only one person in this class who has his own opinions.

In a sense, this most democratic class was actually the most dictatorial.

"Although I don't know what to do, I think it's fine to leave it to Asakusa-kun."

"Should we cordon off the area? Shouldn't we conceal the leader's identity? Aren't we going to have to guess who it is on the last day?"

"Yeah, yeah, wouldn't it be better to have the least predictable person as the leader?"

...Well, they still have their own opinions.

However, relatively speaking, they are very, very 'respectful' of other people's opinions.

A subtle form of respect can give people a strange feeling that they don't want to take responsibility.

But it's not the fault of these little angels; it's the fault of Hoshinomiya Chie, who had this idea.

“There’s no need to hide it.” Honami Ichinose shook her head and said, “The rule states that ‘the leader cannot be changed without special reasons.’”

"In other words, you can change it at will if there are special reasons," Chihiro Shiraha added.

Upon hearing this, Kanzaki Ryuji also showed a look of realization: "In that case, we can openly occupy the stronghold by only paying a price of 30 points."

Indeed, no matter how you look at it, this seems to be the optimal solution.

Instead of scheming and hiding one's identity as a leader, it's better to play your cards openly and honestly.

“However…” After hesitating for a moment, Kanzaki Ryuji voiced the concern he had just thought of: “Wouldn’t it be better if we pretended to be something we’re not?”

Although it seems obvious to anyone with a discerning eye that this is the optimal solution, they wouldn't have thought of it if Ichinose Honami hadn't brought it up herself.

Similarly, other classes would probably think the same way, if we subtly conceal and mislead their thinking...

“There’s no need for that.” Asakusa Tetsu shook his head. “Don’t get misled. The additional rules are irrelevant. The essence of this special exam is a ‘coloring game’.”

"So, don't waste any more time, Hoshinomiya-sensei."

He couldn't wait to show them the strength of the white gym graduates.

Great endurance isn't just something you can demonstrate when driving piles.

“…I understand.” With a strange expression, Hoshinomiya Chie nodded slightly.

Is this how it works? By avoiding suspicion about the leader's identity and using the rule of personnel changes to break through conventional thinking.

It seems that after this exam, in future special exams on deserted islands, the school should increase the cost of changing leaders.

Of course, a more likely scenario is that such an exam will be abolished altogether, and a new special exam will be designed based on the existing success assessment concepts.

Times are changing, and special exams also need to gradually improve.

With a little processing, Asakusa Tetsu's name was finally engraved on the key card belonging to his class.

The leader of Class 1-A is Toru Asakusa.

......

In the original uninhabited island exam, only five outposts were explicitly identified and used by each class.

The main stronghold that Katsuragi found was a cave meticulously maintained by the school.

The main base used by Class D is an area near the river that has been repaired and leveled by the school.

The stronghold occupied by Ichinose is located on the edge of a forest, guided by a giant tree.

A seaside hut with fishing gear set up below the cliff.

A high platform offering a panoramic view of the seaside.

There are only these five locations that have been clearly identified as strongholds.

That's right, the beach where Class C indulged in its pleasures did not show any signs of having a base.

But does this mean there are very few outposts on the deserted island?

No.

The occupied strongholds, the strongholds used for daily operations, and the existing strongholds cannot be easily generalized.

A conclusion can be drawn from the final exam results and the predictions made by each class leader about the points they could get before the exam results were announced.

There are at least twenty outposts on this island, and based on the overall score analysis, fifty outposts would be the most suitable number, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

This way, you can get about a thousand reward points for completely occupying the territory.

It seems like a lot, and it is indeed a lot, but judging from the perspective of recovering from a disadvantage and widening the gap, this number is not an exaggeration for what is essentially the first special test.

However, after recalling the information briefly, Asakusa Tetsu felt a particularly subtle feeling.

The design of the number of outposts and the scoring system is reasonable.

What's unreasonable is the result.

Katsuragi, a conservative, estimated that he would get 274 points by capturing strongholds during the seven-day exam.

As a friendly role model, Ichinose was not scored because she was the leader who was guessed, and there was also no estimated score.

Longyuan, who was playing the lone wolf tactic, estimated that he would get 26 points by capturing strongholds.

Well, according to his plan, he needed to hide his presence and survive in the wilderness until the very end, so this number is indeed reasonable.

However, what's unreasonable is that Class D, as the winner, only received 15 points for capturing the stronghold.

In other words, this damn idiot D class has been lazing around near the river, and hasn't even clocked in for the full 8 hours once a day, three times a day!

Asakusa Tetsu thought of this while pondering the details and wanted to give a thumbs up.

Really, that's who you are.

So you guys are the biggest conservatives after all?

The only radical here is Katsuragi Kohei?

"Fortunately, I am now the biggest radical."

Muttering to himself, Asakusa Toru stretched his body slightly, looked out at the view before him, and frowned slightly.

Although the school has carried out some renovations and construction in advance, the island is still uninhabited overall.

In other words, there are many uphill slopes and fault cliffs. Although the area is generally covered by trees, most of the area is not 'livable'.

In a sense, this is probably one of the reasons why students did not fully explore the island.

However, this means he needs to carefully consider and choose his starting point.

The capture of the stronghold required the leadership of the person holding the key card, and the class needed to make various preparations for living there for seven days in the captured stronghold.

Admittedly, he could easily sweep across the island and occupy every stronghold along the way, but none of his classmates could keep up.

Therefore, he needs to find a base with his classmates before he can begin his conquest.

...This is really troublesome.

That's why he wanted to find a suitable 'landmark' as a reference point to provide direction for his classmates.

More obvious examples include giant trees, which serve as beacons that allow the class to advance even after the leader has already secured a stronghold.

Unfortunately, there's not much to see here.

“…How about this?” After a moment’s thought, Asakusa Toru turned his head and looked at Ichinose: “You guys wait here and check the list provided by the school to see which supplies you will need to spend points to buy to meet your future needs. Calculate and plan accordingly.”

"Since there are no restrictions on the quantity of absorbent cloths, plastic bags, and sanitary products that can be provided, this should also be taken into consideration."

"Use absorbent cloths whenever possible. As for food, everyone has already eaten, so let's ignore it for now and make arrangements when I get back. If you can't wait, we can send some people out to explore and find some wild fruits and vegetables later."

Asakusa Tetsu paused slightly as he spoke of what seemed like a very ordinary arrangement.

“Of course, if you have any ideas, do it your way,” Asakusa Tetsu said. “As long as we capture all the strongholds, it will be our victory.”

He would go to the trouble of making a round trip, first traversing the forest to find the first settlement, which would then become the settlement for the students in his class.

"Anyway, I'll go first," he said.

Honami Ichinose nodded slightly:

"Bon Voyage."

As soon as he finished speaking, his steady steps stirred up a gentle breeze, and Asakusa Tetsu disappeared into the forest in just a few steps.

The students who were left in the shade to avoid the sun were whispering among themselves.

"Hey, don't you feel like Asakusa and Ichinose are getting closer?"

"Right? Right? I knew I wasn't the only one who thought that. They've definitely finally started dating, haven't they?"

"And 'Have a safe journey,' doesn't that sound a lot like a married couple?" As she spoke, a female classmate tugged at Chihiro Shiraha's sleeve. "Right? Chihiro, you think so too, right?"
