However, since the energy source for the shower heater is gas, their class still has a considerable number of points that need to be consumed later.

To put it bluntly, these are basically the optimal solutions that Ichinose Honami would make for the class.

With the addition of supplies such as lighting equipment and small tents for distribution, and after reducing the food losses from relying on corn and fish, they could basically keep their point consumption below fifty points.

The reason for saying all this is not to show Kikyo Kushida the class's achievements, but for the simplest of reasons.

'Price reduction'.

Since we've already used it, and since we've already stocked up on all the necessary supplies, even if we choose to accept this batch of resources from Class D, frankly speaking, they're unlikely to gain much benefit.

At most, the less than thirty points that might be consumed later can be made up for by these resources.

In other words, let alone exchanging 300 for 200, for them, even exchanging 50 wouldn't be worth it.

“…” Kikyo Kushida fell silent.

She didn't show any particular expression on her face, but inwardly she couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

Wow, this woman is definitely not as kind as she seems. She's practically trying to drive the price down to the bone.

Fortunately, I didn't really intend to negotiate with her, and I had no intention of fighting for the interests of the class at all.

However, even so, this pressure should still be felt by the other students in the class.

Anyway, I've already revealed everything.

After lowering her head and looking dejected for a while, Kikyo Kushida finally put on a sad expression, turned around and pulled her classmates to the negotiating table, explaining the situation of Class A to the other students.

"Thirty points?!?!" Chi Kanji immediately exclaimed, "That's way too little!"

"Unacceptable! Absolutely unacceptable! We're asking for a full three hundred points worth of supplies!"

"Right, 300 points of supplies should be worth at least 2 million personal points, right? And 10,000 points for 1 class point isn't unreasonable at all!"

As he spoke, the students in Class D all chimed in with their own opinions.

It's no wonder they reacted so strongly; the gap between their expectations and reality was just too large.

Especially in such recurring situations.

Their expectations were dashed because they couldn't be named, but hope was rekindled when Horikita Suzune proposed a solution involving a deal.

On the way to Class A's camp, many people even began to imagine the outcome of the transaction.

No need to suffer, no need to take exams, no need to work hard. You just need to trade goods worth 300 points. Even if you can't get the equivalent of 300 points, you can at least get the equivalent of 200 points, right?

The result was that all I got was thirty points of value, which was a huge disappointment.

"Couldn't you guys wait a little longer to switch? You don't even have this much patience and you call yourselves Class A," Haruki Yamauchi muttered, complaining.

In his eyes, although he was sure he would get something in return, he initially wanted to 'give alms' to Class A with a superior feeling of extending a helping hand with tolerance and compassion.

But when he came up there, he suddenly realized that it seemed like they were the ones who were being given charity.

This prompted him to start complaining.

However, unlike the other classmates who were complaining, Horikita Suzune realized something even more desperate.

Their supplies were already of little value to Class A, but even so, thirty class points were still a significant number. At least when class points were adjusted during the last midterm exam, Class A did not receive an increase of more than thirty points. If they could gain an extra thirty points, they could indeed better widen the gap with Class B below them.

However, this is on the premise that there are no additional rules such as extra scoring for captured points.

If we consider the number of bases they found on the deserted island, and given that Class A has now almost completely occupied it, then perhaps... the initial three hundred points will become an extremely small number for them.

They don't need to care about these thirty points at all.

That's right. Now that things have come to this, it's more accurate to say that Class A needs Class A to take over these supplies than Class A needs them.

"..." It was precisely because Horikita Suzune realized this that she hesitated to speak.

She had to come up with a statement that could decide the outcome.

Or perhaps...

"Ah, then let's go find other classes."

They abandoned Class A, who were essentially 'creditors' and 'ally'.

As if resonating with Horikita Suzune's thoughts at that moment, Karuizawa Megumi frowned and said those words.

"Anyway, the other classes will definitely need it, right? If you don't care about these few points, then just give it to Class B and Class C. Let them save more points and surpass you."

That sounded like a threat.

No, this is a threat.

Threats made in order to obtain a higher price.

but......

“Then please go ahead.” Ichinose Honami said calmly, “It’s about time we prepared for roll call.”

This is destined to be a false proposition.

They wasted a lot of time searching for a sliver of hope, and by the time they realized the problem, time was running out.

It has already taken a lot of time to get to Class A, and there is no room to rush to Class B or Class C from Class D.

Soon, the routine roll call at 8 p.m. will take place.

If you can't spend all your bonus points before then.

They will gain nothing.

"..."

Clearly, Ichinose Honami's somewhat assertive attitude made a few intelligent people realize this.

“...No need.” Hirata Yosuke finally spoke.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the other students in Class D obediently shut up.

“We no longer have the time to go and make another deal with them.” He calmly revealed the deeper meaning hidden in Ichinose Honami’s words: “That’s it.”

"We still have 270 bonus points."

"Domineering," he said softly.

"One hundred and twenty points. Please state the supplies you need within this range. I will take the liberty of planning out the supplies that can be exchanged for the remaining one hundred and fifty points, and then take them to trade with Class B and Class C."

"This can be considered a 'priority cooperation'."

The content mentioned in Hirata Yosuke's final words was undoubtedly the content written in the previously signed contract.

They will prioritize collaborating with the Ichinose crew.

"As for the compensation..." To be honest, this is what they should pay the most attention to, and what they should not compromise on.

but......

"I choose to believe you, Ichinose-kun." Hirata Yosuke raised his head and smiled.

It was clearly the kind of bright, sparkling smile that belonged to a handsome, sunny guy.

"..."

But for some reason, Asakusa Tetsu could subtly sense a hint of...sorrow in Hirata Yosuke's smile.

This guy is so pitiful.

Being stuck with this group of people in Class D is truly the worst luck imaginable.

PTSD is like a sensitive area that is repeatedly poked and prodded like a toy, and the kindness shown to others is never met with any sincere gratitude.

Even so, he still shouldered the responsibility of being a master of stress management. With Horikita Suzune being incompetent, Kushida Kikyo neglecting her duties, and Ayanokoji Kiyotaka continuing to act like a pig, he took the lead and bore all the pressure of the class.

Um, I'm sorry, I need to retract my previous statement in my diary that you are a low-tier version of Hayama.

You are very powerful.

Asakusa Tetsu silently made the sign of the cross in his heart.

Before a contract could be signed, Hirata Yosuke rushed to deliver the supplies ahead of schedule and used his remaining reward points to exchange for other supplies.

Although the supplies have not yet arrived, we can already announce one thing.

Class D, Year 1, withdrew from the exam.

Chapter 204 Zero points is so satisfying, zero points is so satisfying, zero points is so satisfying!

To put it bluntly, Hirata Yosuke's actions were entirely based on Ichinose Honami's personal character and arbitrary decisions.

Ichinose could have easily accepted the supplies they were trading for, but she offered an extremely low price.

This situation may occur if there is no prior discussion and signing of a contract.

However, considering that even when Ichinose was on the verge of dropping out last time, she still tried her best to come up with a contract that was acceptable to both parties.

Yosuke Hirata decided to trust him.

After all, she was right; their supplies were indeed not essential for Class A.

Ichinose is a good person, but she would not betray her class because of the kindness of others.

It's understandable that she needs to secure as many benefits as possible for her companions.

Soon, the numbers on the account were cleared, and Chabashira Sae silently crossed out one item after another from the shopping list.

Although someone seemed to have suddenly come up with the idea of ​​encouraging them, "They only need thirty points anyway, so why don't we save the rest and use it to buy some fun things before going back?", Hirata Yosuke, holding the guidebook in hand, resolutely refused.

Don't linger.

You'll regret it.

At 8 p.m., roll call began, and the equally distributed supplies were gradually unloaded from the cruise ship.

"Little Sail Wave~"

"arrive."

"Xiao Che~"

"Here!"

After a short break from negotiations, Class A of Grade 1 stopped what they were doing and joined together to complete the roll call for the first day of the exam.

"Yes, very good, no one is absent."

As for Class D of the first year...

"Ah, the grilled fish smells so good, I'm so envious of them."

"It's alright, we can eat whatever we want on the boat later, let them eat their grilled fish here!"

"Hehehe, my soft bed, I'm back!"

"..." The murmurs of discussion continued. After a moment of silence, Chabashira Sae said expressionlessly, "...Class 1-D is completely absent."

"Total deductions: 195."

Although she said some terrifying things, the students in Class D were still laughing and joking.

After all, they already had a score of zero.

"Zero points is so satisfying! Zero points is so satisfying! Zero points is so satisfying!" As if finally releasing his long-suppressed nature, Xu Tengjian roared wildly, tilting his head back: "Zero points is so satisfying—"

Being assigned to Class D put too much pressure on him. He had thought this summer vacation would be a relaxing trip, and he did intend to relax a bit and not be too tense.

But what no one expected was that the deserted island cruise vacation was a lie told by the school, and what was revealed after the veil of falsehood was a real special exam.

The tension intensified, especially after they disembarked and suddenly realized that everyone except their Class D seemed to know about the upcoming exam.

What happens if I don't perform well? What happens if I fail the exam? If I fail again this time, will Class D be permanently relegated to the bottom?

This thought had been lingering in Su Tengjian's mind ever since he disembarked.

But now, I finally don't need to think about those things anymore.

They got zero points; they were the worst class, D.

Haha! Haha! Haha—

...I want to die.

Class D is no longer a viable option; don't expect to benefit from the class's connections and gain employment advantages.
