In practice, I can issue tasks to my master.

Hiyori Shiina pointed to the spot on Makoto Namiya's body where the keycard might be hidden.

"Very pragmatic."

"As long as the key card can be hidden well, the probability of one in seven and the probability of one in thirty-nine are actually the same. Only a madman would gamble on it."

Nangong Cheng neither confirmed nor denied this.

But that's not the kind of thing he wanted to talk about.

"So, are you interested in joining the new Class C?"

"At least I won't force students in my class to do things they don't want to do, even if it's for the sake of the class."

Hiyori Shiina sighed.

Instead of answering, she posed a question that seemed completely irrelevant at the moment.

"Nangong-kun, do you want to graduate from Class A?"

"Shiina, what about you?"

Nangong Cheng also kicked the ball.

However, Hiyori Shiina didn't play the riddle-taker this time. Instead, she nodded generously, but then quickly shook her head.

"I think it's because my future plan is to work at the National Library, so I'll have endless books to read every day."

"So graduating from Class A would be a shortcut that would be within my reach."

Nangong Cheng nodded thoughtfully.

But then he asked, "Then why did you shake your head? Did you change your mind?"

"Because if it's Class D led by Nangong Jun, Class C's chances are slim."

Hiyori Shiina turned to the side and looked at the girls in the D class's base, and continued, "Aside from some issues with her personality, Horikita's overall strength is at the A class level."

"In addition, Kushida's social skills are also very strong, no less than Ichinose's in Class B."

"Karuizawa's physical abilities are outstanding among the girls, and she has a strong sense of unity among the girls in Class D... Just looking at the girls, Class D is already very competitive."

Nangong Cheng narrowed his eyes.

He remained true to his original aspiration and extended the invitation three times: "So, Shiina-kun, you think so highly of our class, are you really not planning to come to our class?"

Shiina Hiyori chuckled lightly: "Nangong-kun, a gentleman shouldn't appear so impatient."

"And you have to answer my questions first, and also explain why."

"I will answer you then."

Volume 1: Chapter 83, Net Warehouse Mako: I'm willing to do anything.

No one knows what Nangong Cheng and Shiina Hiyori talked about except themselves.

From Horikita Suzune's perspective, the two left for a while, and when they returned, the atmosphere seemed to have changed somewhat.

Horikita Suzune couldn't say exactly what it was.

However, she could only hope that Shiina Hiyori would be rational and not be fooled by that scumbag, Nangong Cheng.

Because currently, besides her, only Kikyo Kushida in Class D hasn't gotten together with Makoto Nangong yet. Even if the other girls haven't had anything happen with Makoto Nangong, they're probably thinking about it happening to them.

Of course, the atmosphere is usually quite normal.

But once the name "Nangong Cheng" appears in the conversation, then...

Ah, let's not talk about it.

Therefore, the time Horikita Suzune spent reading with Shiina Hiyori in the library was one of the few times she could enjoy a quiet and comfortable atmosphere.

She really had to do something.

"Shiina, let's have a chat too."

"..."

Hiyori Shiina glanced at Makoto Nangong, who blinked, indicating that she should do as she pleased.

He could guess what Horikita Suzune was thinking with his bare hands, and he wasn't worried about damaging his image.

Because he didn't have a good image to begin with.

But how to say it?

Is sincerity the ultimate weapon?

A good woman is afraid of a persistent man?

In short, Nangong Cheng wasn't worried about not being able to win over these beautiful girls; it was just a matter of time.

then.

"I'm going out for a walk. If I'm not back by mealtime, you can eat by yourselves."

He left after saying a few words.

...

...

Class B.

Honami Ichinose and his group also chose a good location as their base and successfully got through their first night.

Similarly, they also took in a student.

"Ibuki-kun, we can take you in, but due to the class's stance, we will arrange for someone to monitor your behavior. Please understand."

Kindness is kindness.

But Honami Ichinose wasn't stupid; how could she not guess why Mio Ibuki was here? Naturally, she had to be wary of her.

In addition, she felt that Class C definitely sent more than just Ibuki Mio; perhaps Class D also sent some.

Thus, Class C's objective became quite clear.

"Fanbo, I don't think we should keep her here."

It's not just Wangcang Mazi.

The boys, represented by Ryuji Kanzaki, were actually not too willing to keep Mio Ibuki, since the risk was too great.

"Because if she really couldn't stay on the island, she could have chosen to withdraw from the exam just like her classmates, so she specifically came to our base today, which is obviously for ulterior motives."

"..."

Honami Ichinose, of course, understood this principle as well.

Since Class C currently appears to be starting with a score of 0, just like Class D, there's no need to worry about the penalty of withdrawing from the exam.

"What do you think, Ibuki-san?"

"..."

Mio Ibuki said she couldn't help it.

Putting aside the fact that this was Long Yuan's order, she couldn't just leave like this, even if the situation was very unfavorable to her, just so that the class could get good scores in this exam.

So she chose to remain silent.

Honami Ichinose nodded knowingly, then turned and made a decision.

"Mako, arrange for a few more girls to keep Ibuki company, and report back immediately if anything happens."

"Kansaki-san, could you arrange for a few strong boys to search for Class D's hideout? If you find it, have them pass on a message."

Wang Cang Ma Zi hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to trust her best friend's judgment.

Ryuji Kanzaki, on the other hand, wore a thoughtful expression, trying to guess what Honami Ichinose was thinking.

He was just about to turn around and arrange for the boys to split up when suddenly, a boy unexpectedly cut in—

"No need to look anymore, just tell me directly."

The person who came was naturally Nangong Cheng.

Although he said he was just taking a stroll, he certainly wouldn't be wandering aimlessly; he would naturally come to check out Class B's location.

Looking at Ibuki Mio inside Class B's base, Nangong Cheng also greeted her.

"Ibuki-kun, having a leader like Ryuen makes it difficult for you to carry out this kind of mission."

"..."

Ibuki Mio's expression changed slightly, but she still chose to remain silent.

Ichinose Honami, on the contrary, showed a happy smile and quickly came to Nangong Cheng's side.

"Chengjun~"

"Why don't you stay for lunch?"

Although it is a question, the tone is affirmative.

Nangong Cheng nodded.

It would be too much trouble to go back and forth, so he decided to stay in Class B until the base refreshed before leaving.

As for Sakura Airi and the others...

These things also have a cooldown period; waiting a while before doing them will give you a better experience.

"Let's go outside and talk first."

Honami Ichinose gave Asako Amakura and Ryuji Kanzaki a look, then took Makoto Nanami's hand and walked out.

The two walked for about two or three hundred meters before stopping under a large tree.

"one……"

Before Nangong Cheng could finish speaking, he felt a sudden impact in his arms; it was Ichinose Honami who had hugged him tightly.

The soft touch and the intoxicating fragrance of her body were all arousing his body, which was already satiated with the scent of meat.

Fortunately, he didn't let desire defeat his will.

"Ichinose?"

"..."

The girl remained silent, but increased the force of her blows.

Such displays of emotion only made Ichinose Honami seem adorable, and Nangong Cheng quite enjoyed the experience of this position, so he deliberately pretended to be confused.

"Awoo!"

"Sigh~"

Nangong Cheng exaggeratedly gasped.

Looking at the girl with her head buried in his neck, he slapped her lightly in annoyance.

"Snapped!"

"Awoo!"

The tingling pain didn't make Honami Ichinose let go; instead, it made her change position and bite out a symmetrical tooth mark.

Just as Nangong Cheng was about to say something, he felt a different sensation on his neck, like a wounded animal licking its wounds.

Okay, okay, is this how you play it?

"Snapped!"

"Humph……"

A faint sound, barely audible, reached his ears, and Nangong Cheng's hand abruptly stopped in mid-air.

His gaze shifted downwards, but he could only see that head of beautiful hair; he couldn't see Ichinose Honami's face.

He knew exactly what the girl was thinking; all she wanted was for him to call her name.

Nangong Cheng's eyes darted around, then a sly smile appeared on his lips as he leaned down and whispered in Ichinose Honami's ear.

"Sailing Waves~"
