Real teaching, but diary flow

The orderly queues, the neatly arranged facilities, and the food, while not plentiful, were not scarce either.

Under the command of Arisu Sakayanagi, who was holding a walkie-talkie, everyone in Class B was performing their duties.

"..."

Almost the instant she put away her flashlight, someone noticed her arrival and approached her with a sneer... no, a sneer.

"Hey, hey, hey, who do I think it is? Isn't this that bug from Class D?"

"What, your class doesn't want you either, so you have to come and rely on us?"

Amidst the sarcastic remarks, Horikita Suzune grasped the key point more keenly than ever before.

......also?

"But unfortunately, you'll end up like that guy, kicked out like trash."

"If you don't want to be reported for illegally using another class's base and get points deducted, get out of here and don't even think about gathering any information about us!"

It's hard to imagine that such a quality came from someone who was originally rated as an A-class student.

However, Horikita Suzune was already used to it.

Being discriminated against as a member of Class D is common. They were already severely discriminated against by Class B when the exam rules were announced upon disembarking today.

What they said wasn't wrong; the other people in Class D were indeed trash, like bedbugs.

"Where is your leader?" Without even looking up, she asked calmly, "I'm here to discuss business."

Although it is clear that the woman in the middle is giving orders, she cannot be simply identified as the leader.

Because she remembered that the leader of Class B should be Sakayanagi Arisu, who withdrew from the exam right at the beginning.

"Talk business? You?"

Just as the mocking voices were about to begin, Masumi Kamuro approached and stopped them.

"Sakayanagi tells you to go and do your jobs." With a blank expression, Kamuro Masumi, after driving away the standard villainous thugs who had inexplicably appeared in her class, raised the walkie-talkie in her hand.

Arisu Sakayanagi's soft laughter could be clearly heard through the walkie-talkie.

"Anyway, tell me why you're here, Horikita from Class D."

Chapter 206 Sprint! Sprint!

On the cruise ship, Arisu Sakayanagi gazed at the calm sea at night and said with a soft laugh:

"The business you're talking about... you're not planning to exchange goods for a contract with us, are you?"

Wow... we're really late.

Surprisingly, it wasn't Ryuen Sho from Class C who chose the zero-point strategy, but Horikita Suzune?

What is she thinking?

Since you've chosen the tactic of simply copying what was revealed in the diary, why do it now, right after the roll call?

There's no way to figure out what the defective products are thinking, but oh well, they came at the perfect time.

Even before the tactics were finalized, Sakayanagi Arisu had already prepared for the arrival of a batch of supplies from Class C.

Now that Long Yuanxiang's tactics have been exposed, she should make good use of them.

Why refuse to use other people's help to solve the problem of supplies, which is an unavoidable issue no matter how you look at it?

She waited for most of the day, but Long Yuan from Class C never showed up, let alone proposed a deal.

The only one who arrived as usual was Kaneda Satoru, the 'self-proclaimed expelled C-class spy' who had been beaten black and blue.

Because I had been waiting for most of the day, I got carried away and kicked that guy out.

......cough.

Looking back now, I shouldn't have done that.

Leaving Kaneda Satoru behind would be a perfect opportunity to 'report' him for misusing our class's base, resulting in a hefty 50-point deduction for Class C.

While reminding herself not to let her emotions get the better of her, Sakayanagi Arisu turned her attention back to Horikita Suzune on the other end of the walkie-talkie.

"...Yes, if you already know, you don't need me to explain further." After a moment of silence, Horikita Suzune nodded gently.

Come to think of it, Sakayanagi Arisu also seems to be a holder of the diary.

In other words, she knew about the plan she wrote in her diary yesterday.

In that case, the difficulty of communication is probably not as great as you might imagine.

Horikita Suzune knew very well that she was not good at negotiation.

But one thing she understood was to hold firm to her bottom line and not let the other party see through her easily.

The key to negotiation is nothing more than this.

"Well, anyway, let's talk about the conditions you can offer and the rewards you want in return." Sakayanagi Arisu's lips curled up slightly.

Masumi didn't warn anyone else about their arrival.

In other words, only 'Stupid Sister' came to this negotiation.

Hehe, then don't blame me for taking advantage of her.

......

"Ishizaki Daichi."

"To!"

"Kaneda Satoru."

"arrive."

"Ibuki Mio".

"arrive."

The roll call ended somewhat listlessly, and all members of Class 1-C were present.

Nodding in satisfaction, Kazuma Sakagami put away his terminal and sat back down, waiting like a fixed NPC for Ryuen Sho's next move.

"Alright, the roll call is over. Now tell me about your situation."

Long Yuanxiang raised an eyebrow as he glanced at the three spies he had sent out who returned at different times.

"...I was kicked out by those guys in Class B." Kaneda Satoru shrugged. "They're pretty wary, so it's probably impossible to sneak in this way."

As expected, although Sakayanagi left, it doesn't mean that the original Class A group would be less wary. It would be abnormal if they foolishly accepted the enemy class's explanation and happily took them in.

“Class D…” Ishizaki Daichi scratched his head, feeling a little unsure how to describe it.

But after glancing at Longyuan, he still said, "Class D, sigh, Class D."

“That group of people were arguing from the very beginning. I didn’t dare to come out from the side and say anything. I could only hide in the back and watch them argue.”

"They argued about some pointless things for most of the day, and then it seems they elected someone, Horikita Suzune? Anyway, they openly and legitimately elected Horikita Suzune as some kind of leader."

Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in Long Yuanxiang's eyes.

To think they overheard it so easily, it seems Class D is even worse than I imagined.

In that case, even if he didn't infiltrate Class D, Ishizaki Daichi would have fulfilled his mission.

"Haha, I knew I hadn't misjudged you." Laughing, Ryuen Sho patted Ishizaki Daichi's shoulder forcefully to encourage him.

only......

Daichi Ishizaki's expression became even more subtle.

"No, no, Brother Longyuan," he stammered, "I haven't finished speaking yet."

Long Yuanxiang: "Hmm?"

"In short, after they chose their leader, they went to look for a base, but they couldn't find one no matter how hard they looked."

"Therefore, since it is past 8 a.m. and the stronghold has not been occupied, roll call cannot be taken, so they... will all be absent."

Upon hearing this, Long Yuanxiang's eyes widened in astonishment.

Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap.

Because roll call wasn't possible, everyone was absent?

Such an imaginative loophole in the rules—and it wasn't even developed by Long Yuanxiang?!

Very well, he's already a little jealous of Class D's talent.

It's a wonder these guys, forty men in eight hours, couldn't even take over a single stronghold.

However, this also means that... Class A has indeed occupied almost all the strongholds.

It's not just the seaside outposts I've seen; perhaps the entire island has been taken over by them.

...That was really ruthless.

If I had hesitated any longer, or if I had been unlucky enough to end up behind the guy who captured the stronghold...

Who knows, I might also be forced to leave like Class D.

"They said they were going to trade supplies with Class A, but I realized I was running out of time for roll call, so I came back. I guess they're already planning to drop out of the exam," Ishizaki Daichi added, ending his description of the situation.

...Selling supplies? Withdrawing from the exam?

The feeling of having your plans executed by other classes... is quite subtle.

But if it's Class D, then it doesn't matter.

Shaking his head, Ryuen Sho and the other two also turned their gazes to the returning Ibuki Mio:

"In the end, only you are left, Ibuki."

It can be said that Class B and Class D are both irrelevant.

The important one is Class A.

In this exam, they will have to face Class A, who have an absolute advantage in capturing strongholds.

"..." Ibuki Mio was silent for a moment before she spoke: "Give up, Ryuen, you can't win."

Long Yuanxiang's expression changed instantly; he rolled up his sleeves and clenched his fists.

"Hoo hoo?" Raising an eyebrow, Long Yuanxiang revealed a violent side: "If you can't say anything, don't blame me for being impolite."

Showing fear for no reason is not a good thing.

“You’re the leader of our class, right, Ryuen?” Ibuki Mio sat down on the ground without looking up and said, “With your personality, even Albert wouldn’t be able to gain your trust.”

"Not to mention others."

The only possibility is Hiyori, but that's only a possibility.

"What do you want to say?" Ryuen Sho squatted down, staring straight at Ibuki Mio.

“What I’m trying to say is, stop hiding it, it’s pointless.” Ibuki Mio sighed and said, “Class A immediately found the loophole in the leader rule. As long as they can get rid of the original leader at the last moment with a ‘legitimate reason,’ they can replace the leader for a mere thirty points.”

"The advantage of finding this vulnerability first is unimaginable. You should have figured it out by now, right? That's why Class D couldn't find the base and couldn't call out names."

"That's right, they took it all."

“Oh right, by the way, the current leader of Class A is Asakusa Tetsu,” she said.

The moment that name was mentioned, all the confusion that had been nagging at Long Yuanxiang vanished.

Sure enough, it was that guy.

I was just wondering who could always beat me to the punch, figure out the exam rules first, and come up with this strategy.

It was him.

......Oh.

Ryuen Sho sneered, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by Ibuki Mio's additional words.

“By the way, if you still want to send someone infiltrate, then choose someone else,” she said. “I think I’ve already been discovered, they just haven’t said anything yet.”

"If I stay with Class A and get reported for using someone else's camp without permission... I don't want to take that responsibility."

That's what she said on the surface, but only Ibuki Mio knew her true intentions.
