She felt it was necessary to tell Sakayanagi Arisu about what had just happened.

Of course, since it was Class C's home turf, she still needed to avoid it a little.

It would be too strange to openly discuss with Sakayanagi Arisu how to deal with them.

"...There's no need to kick me then," Hashimoto Masayoshi muttered under his breath.

Sizzle, sizzle.

A report with a slight static noise came from one side of the walkie-talkie onto the cruise ship, and Sakayanagi Arisu fell into thought.

With her cane gently tapping the deck beneath her feet, Sakayanagi Arisu pondered on the deck where the signal was excellent.

The threads in her mind intertwined, and her speculations rose and fell, only to be overturned by her again.

Ten minutes later, just as Kamuro Masumi was getting a little impatient, Sakayanagi Arisu finally spoke softly:

"He's going to take over our class's stronghold."

There is only one possibility.

Words, timing, attitude—virtually all the clues point to this outcome.

Upon hearing this, Masumi Kamuro panicked a little.

If the class's stronghold is captured...

"Doesn't that mean—"

“That’s right, we’ve all been using other classes’ bases illegally.” Sakayanagi Arisu nodded slightly: “...What a clever scheme.”

"Why aren't you worried at all?" Hearing Sakayanagi Arisu's seemingly nonchalant voice, Kamuro Masumi was a little anxious, but also seemed not so anxious: "Do you have a way to deal with this?"

If that weren't the case, why wouldn't Sakayanagi Arisu be completely calm?

"......No."

"Then what are you trying to calm down for?!"

“Because panicking won’t help,” she said.

Chapter 212 Ryuen Sho: I fuck your mother Sakayanagi Arisu!!!

The biggest lesson Sakayanagi Arisu learned from her diary was not to have strong emotional fluctuations over meaningless things.

After all, she has a heart condition.

So, although it sounded like a hopeless situation, she surprisingly didn't get very angry...

Weird.

Her hands, gripping the cane, had turned slightly white.

What?!

How can there be such a huge loophole in the rules?! And how come I only just discovered it?!

Isn't it a bit crazy to occupy someone else's stronghold?

This is a special exam for deserted islands, not a special exam for base attack and defense!

What a stupid exam rule.

I'm furious!

But as she said, getting angry was useless; no matter how she calculated the time, they couldn't make it in time. The time it took for Class B to occupy the stronghold was indeed just a few minutes later, as Ryuen had predicted.

She had to admit that she had indeed neglected the check-in process and hadn't thought about it much.

This was her oversight.

"..."

All Sakayanagi Arisu can do now is pray that whoever is left in the class camp will get up at this time and stop Asakusa Toru.

"Let the demon go back and see if he can make it in time." With a sigh, Sakayanagi Arisu said softly, "If he can't... there's nothing I can do."

So what if I die? So what if I die? I might as well skip this stupid exam!

Sakayanagi Arisu became somewhat self-destructive.

......

The campfire was still burning by the river, but it looked rather precarious because no one was adding fuel.

"Where did everyone go?" Blinking her eyes and groggily getting up, Ms. Morishita Ran looked at her class's rather quiet and empty campsite and couldn't help but feel a little confused.

While puzzled, she couldn't help but wonder: "What if a bear suddenly jumps out from the side?"

After all, the special exam on the deserted island was incredibly boring. Apart from the initial few hours when she felt a sense of novelty, she couldn't muster any enthusiasm at all.

They were either collecting wild fruits, trying to catch fish, or grilling fish and boiling water.

The heavier tasks, such as setting up tents, assembling equipment, and moving things, were evenly distributed among the boys, but to be honest, it was quite boring.

Isn't there anything more interesting going to happen?

"—Click."

As if in accordance with her wishes, the crisp sound of a branch being broken by footsteps came from not far away.

Looking in the direction of the sound, Morishita Ai's eyes widened, and she held up her index finger:

"It's a voice recorder!"

“...It’s me.” Asakusa Tetsu paused slightly. Morishita Ai’s appearance surprised him a little, but upon closer inspection, it wasn’t so surprising.

After all, this is Class B's camp, isn't it normal for her to be here?

“The sound was too loud, and…” He showed no embarrassment at being pointed at, but instead casually walked over and reached out to snap off her outstretched finger that she had been holding out for so long: “Don’t point at other people.”

"That's really impolite."

As Asakusa Tetsu folded his fingers, Morishita Ai's expression went from slight hesitation to sudden interest.

"Hehe, then you're very polite." She lowered her voice and shrugged.

...I told you to keep your voice down, not to run like you're in an underground rendezvous.

Asakusa Tetsu was speechless.

However, if the other party is Ai Morishita, then it's not so hard to understand.

"Of course, I'm super polite." As he said this, Asakusa Tetsu looked around, searching for the location of the base's screen.

Seeing him looking around, Morishita Ai didn't stop him, but asked curiously:

What are you looking for?

"Find your class's hideout."

"What are you going to do?"

"Take it."

"Are you the leader?"

"I'm."

The conversation went surprisingly smoothly; she asked a question, and he answered it simply.

The fluent conversation made Morishita Ran blink and pause for a moment in surprise.

But soon, a smile returned to her face.

"Come, come, come over here!" she said, waving her hand repeatedly. "I'll take you to find it!"

She wouldn't be so interested if Asakusa Toru didn't speak, or if he said something else.

But he said he was coming to take over our class's base!

Then I'll have to be the guide.

Anyway, even if I don't lead this route, I can easily spot that dilapidated outpost with just a quick glance.

After all, the location of this outpost in Hechuan is right by the river.

I really want to do something for the class...

Her small frame couldn't withstand a punch from Asakusa Tetsu.

Besides, it sounds interesting, so it's probably okay!

"Asakusa-kun! This way please!" Straightening her back, Morishita Ran raised her hand in salute, then bent down and extended her hand in one direction.

Quite subtly, Asakusa Tetsu detected a hint of 'Please come in, sir' in his words.

And so, in a perfectly legitimate manner, Asakusa Tetsu took out his key card and swiped it lightly on the outpost, which had already finished its countdown and become 'unoccupied'.

"drop."

A slight sound and a green light appeared, and then the occupation information on the screen changed instantly.

Surprisingly...relax.

"But is this really a good idea?" Looking at the brightly lit 'Class A' sign on the base, Asakusa Tetsu casually asked Morishita Ai, "Shouldn't you shout to wake up your sleeping classmates and try to gather everyone's strength to stop me?"

"Are you some kind of final boss?" Morishita Ran retorted, putting her hands behind her back, leaning forward slightly, and raising her left leg to assume a one-legged stance.

She maintained her balance for a few seconds, lowering her raised leg before falling, and then spoke:

"Ghost Head isn't here, so even if I wanted to stop you, there's nothing I could do."

"Ah, that seems to be an idea." As if she had suddenly thought of a good idea, Morishita Ai clasped her hands together: "It seems like we can just wake everyone up and make them hug the terminal!"

“But that would probably require advance preparation, and there definitely wouldn’t be enough time.” She shrugged.

So it's okay.

We can't really expect her, this delicate and beautiful girl who gets up at night, to do anything, can we?

"I see." Asakusa Tetsu nodded in understanding. "In that case, it shouldn't matter if I go to the teacher now to report you for using my base illegally, right?"

The calm tone seemed to convey something terrifying.

Morishita Ai blinked, her expression slightly frozen: "Eh?"

"You can play like this?!"

"Could it be..." she paused slightly, "that you're actually a genius?!"

Is this an unexpected or expected reaction?

Anyway, Asakusa Tetsu didn't seem particularly surprised.

It should be said that this is probably how he imagined Morishita Ai to be.

That's why he spoke so calmly about what should be absolutely intolerable behavior for the students of Sakayanagi's class, perhaps so that he could see her speaking with wide eyes, completely ignoring gains and losses, and speaking with great enthusiasm.

but......

"The word 'genius' has become a derogatory term."

"why?"

"Hmm... how should I put it, let's just consider it a feeling."

He couldn't very well tell Morishita that because that rich girl in his class was always agonizing over stupid questions like whether someone was a genius or not, or whether they were born that way, and then acted like a genius while doing a bunch of ridiculous things, he felt that "genius" was a derogatory term, right?

“That really gets the feel of it.” Morishita Ai nodded in deep agreement.

A gentle evening breeze blew, and the campfire crackled and popped nearby.

A gentle breeze blew through the forest, making a sound like weeping.

However, the darkness in the sky seemed to be gradually dissipating.

I imagine it will be dawn soon.

"Well, anyway, I'm going to report it."

Asakusa Tetsu estimated that it was about time to leave.

Whether it's the situation at Long Yuanxiang's location or the countdown at other bases, it should be almost over.

He didn't want to turn Sakayanagi Arisu's loss into a double loss. If the other side had any sense and used this time to take over his other bases, even though he would lose all his points for violating the rules, he could still gain some points by protecting the bases.
