In practice, I can issue tasks to my master.

He looked at Masumi Kamuro and the others with great interest, then scanned the Class A camp.

"There are some things that are better discussed in front of Katsuragi-kun, so I was wondering if you would mind if I ate a meal here with you?"

"Is there no food for Class D?"

Totsuka Yahiko continued to try to win over people, but in Nangong Cheng's opinion, apart from being too naive, his silly demeanor really didn't seem like an act.

In contrast, Masumi Kamuro remained quite calm.

"It's just a meal. Class A isn't at the point where they can't afford to treat guests to a meal."

"However, Nangong, you might as well tell us first, after all, Class A isn't decided by Katsuragi alone."

"Kamuro, you..."

"Shut up!"

Totsuka Yahiko's face turned as red as a monkey's bottom.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end, he was so angry that he could only turn his head away and choose to ignore it.

"Can Kamuro represent Class A?"

Although Nangong Cheng could tell that the people in Class A were putting on an act for him, there were two opposing views within the group.

The Katsuragi faction, led by Totsuka Yahiko, probably wanted to lure him into guessing the identity of Kamuro Masumi's leader, and the latter did cooperate, but there must have been other motives.

For example--

"Oh right, I almost forgot, Kamuro-kun, you're a favorite of Sakayanagi-san. She couldn't take the exam this time, but she still asked you to represent Class A in her place."

"In that case, it would be impolite of me to refuse."

Kamuro Masumi raised an eyebrow.

While it's common knowledge that Arisu Sakayanagi and Kohei Katsuragi are still vying for the ultimate leadership of Class A, bringing it up in person is a bit provocative.

However, she didn't take it to heart, because it would be pointless anyway, since everyone knew how shameless Nangong Cheng was.

"Then—" she was about to say something.

He was interrupted.

That's secondary, but the person who interrupted her was someone who was considered a genius, almost on par with those in Class D, by the students in Class A.

"Nangong Cheng".

"Was it you who put that smell on Miki Yamamura last night?"

Volume 1: Chapter 89, Katsuragi: How much did Sakayanagi give you? / Nangong Cheng: She gave it to me.

Morishita Ai's words plunged the Class A base into an eerie silence.

Especially the parties involved.

Miki Yamamura's entire face turned bright red.

She could have remained beautifully hidden, but after being called out by Ai Morishita, even her faint presence could no longer be concealed.

"Morishita, shut up."

Kamuro Masumi pressed her temples, feeling a headache coming on.

Her tone was very impolite, but that was because she knew that Morishita Ran didn't care what tone others used when they spoke.

"Why?" Morishita Ran tilted her head, her face showing an expression of utter self-righteousness.

“I think you should ask questions if you have any. Something must have happened between Yamamura Miki and Nangong Cheng last night. Don’t you want to know?”

"..."

Everyone looked at each other.

They only had a vague understanding of what happened last night, since only representatives from a few factions were there to meet Yamamura Miki at the scene.

In addition, Morishita Ai's "crazy" behavior is well-known in Class A, so under normal circumstances no one will listen to her "crazy talk".

However, this time the situation is a bit special.

"Yamamura, is what Morishita said true?"

As one of the people present, Totsuka Yahiko did notice the "strangeness" of Yamamura Miki when she returned, but at first he just thought it was because she had run back.

But upon closer examination, there are still some doubts.

Under normal circumstances, Miki Yamamura only needs to walk back, and the two-kilometer journey doesn't take much time even without running.

However, they didn't investigate this point because Miki Yamamura successfully retrieved the key card.

Now that Morishita Ran, the class's most famous genius, has suddenly said something like this, and it concerns the class's points, he can't just pretend he didn't hear it.

"Totsuka, are you doubting Yamamura?"

"I'm just thinking about the class. After all, it's a fact that Sakayanagi and Nangong-kun made a deal."

"So what did you see last night?"

"This……"

Kamuro Masumi was naturally protecting her own people.

She glared at Morishita Ran again before continuing, "Your suspicions are indeed reasonable, but even if something happened between Yamamura and Nangong-kun, that's her own private matter."

"Moreover, based solely on the facts, she did not wrong Class A; in fact, she even made contributions to Class A."

"What? Just because of a single sentence from some idiot, you're going to suspect Yamamura, or even that I and Sakayanagi colluded with Nangong-kun to frame Class A?"

The atmosphere suddenly froze.

But some people still don't care.

"I'm not a little crazy."

Morishita Ai said with a serious expression, "Yamamura Miki has Nangong Cheng's scent about her."

Kamuro Masumi sighed, then reached out and grabbed the girl's head, pressing it down firmly.

"Have you made enough of a scene?"

Why say it now of all times?

She had reason to suspect that this amazing person was deliberately causing trouble, after all, there weren't many people in Class A who would be willing to talk to Morishita Ai, Yamamura Miki was one of them.

But then Morishita Ai pulled a crazy stunt on Sakayanagi Arisu, and the little devil was furious, so she made her shield Yamamura Miki from this amazing person.

After a while, they might start holding grudges against each other.

"Nangong Jun, I'm sorry you had to see this."

"fine."

Nangong Cheng waved his hand, looking completely indifferent.

He had only heard of this extraordinary young woman before, but had never met her. This time, he could say that he had finally gotten to know her.

how to say……

Seeing is better than hearing.

He's truly an amazing person.

However, it must be said that her unusual thought process is sometimes quite counterintuitive, making her arguably the most unpredictable student in Advanced Education.

So he had to say something.

such as--

"This Morishita classmate in your class is quite interesting. I've met people who call others by their first names before, but this is the first time I've seen someone like her... with such high purity."

Nangong Cheng glanced at Yamamura Miki again, thinking to himself that he couldn't let her bully the person he had his eye on.

"Has she always been like this?"

"Ah... um..."

At this moment, Masumi Kamuro felt a sense of misfortune for her family, but what could she say?

Although she knew that Nangong Cheng would eventually discover that Class A had such a genius as Morishita Ran, it happened much sooner than she had imagined.

Moreover, although Morishita Ai has intermittent bouts of madness, she guessed correctly this time—Yamamura Miki did indeed have something happen with Nangong Cheng last night.

Since things have come to this point, let's put this dangerous topic aside for now.

"Although it's rude to say that, she probably won't care about it, so if you don't know what to say, just ignore her."

"is it?"

Nangong Cheng neither confirmed nor denied this.

Although Ai Morishita's character model is not bad and she is a high-scoring beautiful girl, this "god-like" attribute is just too abstract.

If he were to actually lay a hand on her, it would give off a feeling of wanting to do something drastic.

But if we don't do it, it would be a waste of resources.

Nangong Cheng decided to wait and see for the time being, and then find an opportunity to recreate the scene with Yamamura Miki last night to observe Morishita Ran's reaction in that regard.

As for now...

"By the way, what are you having for lunch today?"

"It's almost lunchtime, isn't it?"

He didn't want to talk much about what happened last night, so he simply went along with Masumi Kamuro and moved on from the topic.

Whether others will continue to have doubts is none of his concern.

"Yes, what should we eat?"

Morishita Ran broke free from Kamuro Masumi's grasp, and then, for reasons unknown, hid behind Nangong Cheng and repeated the same sentence.

"How would I know what to eat... Totsuka, hasn't Katsuragi returned yet?"

Kamuro Masumi ignored Morishita Ai and instead looked at Totsuka Yahiko.

Because Sakayanagi Arisu was absent from this deserted island exam, Katsuragi was in charge of all the arrangements for the exam.

For example, the distribution of resources.

Katsuragi brought back a large amount of supplies on the first day, which also indicated that he had reached some kind of deal with Ryuen. The price was that he would have to pay Class C points for the corresponding supplies every month thereafter.

At that time, some people in the class naturally had objections because Ge Cheng made the decision without consulting them.

If the promises made weren't quite good, and if things hadn't already fait accomplied, Class A might not have been so harmonious.

However, judging from Nangong Cheng's visit to Class A today, it didn't seem like he was just a guest, so it was hard to say what would happen after Ge Cheng returned.

"should……"

"I am back."

Just as Totsuka Yahiko was thinking about how to explain why Katsuragi hadn't returned by lunchtime today, the latter's voice suddenly rang out.

"Katsuragi-kun..."

Katsuragi Kohei glanced at Nangong Cheng, then gestured to Totsuka Yahiko to be quiet.

"Nangong Jun, may I ask what brings you to Class A today?"

"It's about the exam, of course."

Nangong Cheng narrowed his eyes.

Although he knew whose name was on the keycard of Class A in the original story, he still wanted to play it safe, considering that many things might change if he interfered.

The premise of showing off is not to backfire; he doesn't want to become a disgrace to time travelers.

"Katsura-kun, this Totsuka-kun jumped out and blocked me when I was taking over the base, which means that your Class A knew I was coming from the beginning."

"Therefore, I wouldn't believe he did this without your instruction."

Katsuragi Yasuhiro's expression remained calm.

He explained in a serious tone, "Nangong Jun, Class A and Class D are inherently competitors."

"Whether Yahiko did it on his own initiative or on my instructions, from a standpoint of position, he did nothing wrong."
