I have a life simulator.

After waiting for about ten seconds and confirming that no one objected, Honami Ichinose also spoke with a smile:

"It seems there's no one particularly interested in being the host, so I'll take on that role for now. First of all, although I already know most of your names, the school has given some instructions, so I think it would be better to introduce ourselves. Besides, there might be some of us meeting for the first time."

Because the teacher specifically instructed yesterday that "it is essential to introduce yourself during the first discussion," Ichinose Honami naturally planned to use this method to slightly increase the understanding among the Tatsumi group members, and also to facilitate the subsequent discussion.

Upon closer reflection, the insistence on introducing oneself actually serves as a subtle reminder of the importance of "name."

Although he had already figured out the pattern of the privileged students, which was equivalent to passing the exam, Kitagawa Ryo still wanted to see how the other classes were doing. So he also introduced himself. After a round of introductions, the atmosphere was definitely not as dull as before.

"Okay, in this first discussion about the exam, I think we should start by reasoning about the exam itself. For example, if any of us have any questions, doubts, or concerns, we can freely raise them and discuss them together. This might help us get through the exam better. What do you all think?"

Ichinose Honami's ability to control the situation was quite good, but the discussion did not proceed smoothly. After all, although everyone was in the same group on the surface, they were actually there for the benefit of the class. They were already hesitant to share and exchange information with each other, especially since this group was full of talented people.

Katsuragi Kohei and Horikita Suzune occasionally cast wary glances at Kitagawa Ryo. In the last deserted island exam, they were more surprised by Kitagawa Ryo's ability to read and utilize the school rules than by Class C's victory. So even though Kitagawa Ryo hadn't said a single valuable word yet, no one knew the extent to which he had understood the exam rules.

"If no one has any questions, then I'll start by sharing my own thoughts."

It's truly remarkable how Ichinose Honami remains completely unaffected by this silent atmosphere.

"Theoretically speaking, the best solution is to pass this exam."

Honami Ichinose offered her suggestion:

"The four classes agreed to keep it a secret, and each person will receive 500,000 personal points. The preferential treatment should be distributed equally among the classes, so no one will be at a disadvantage and there is no need to worry about the class points."

Each person receives 500,000 points, and those with preferential treatment receive an additional 500,000 points. If Ichinose Honami's idea is followed, each class can amass over 20 million personal points. Keep in mind that even Class A, which currently has the highest number of points, can only acquire 4 million personal points per month.

"There is no way to guarantee that there won't be any traitors."

Horikita Suzune was the first to point out the problem with Ichinose Honami's words:

"Furthermore, compared to classes A, B, and C, class D, which already has four students who have dropped out, will earn a full two million less points. Could Ichinose-san possibly compensate for that?"

"Moreover, the purpose of special exams is to narrow the gap between classes and even to facilitate promotion and demotion between classes."

"This strategy sounds good, but for Class D, it's tantamount to missing an opportunity to move forward."

"Karuizawa-san, Hirata-san, what do you think?"

Seemingly feeling that her personal opinion wasn't enough, Horikita Suzune also mentioned Hirata Yosuke and Karuizawa Megumi at the end of her speech. Since Horikita Suzune's logic was sound throughout and she was thinking of the interests of Class D, the two readily nodded in agreement.

Anyway, the privileged students in this group aren't in Class D, so let the other three classes make a fuss.

"So, does that mean your Class D is planning to actively seek out students from other classes for preferential treatment in this exam in order to achieve result three?"

At this moment, Kohei Katsuragi suddenly interrupted, immediately pitting Class D against the other classes:

"Taking the initiative will only make enemies everywhere."

"If Katsuragi-kun thinks Class D's strategy is wrong, then I'll have to ask the noble Class A for their opinion."

Karuizawa Kei retaliated without hesitation, even making a sarcastic remark.

"I can't equate them with Class A, but I think Class A just needs to remain silent in this exam."

Upon hearing Katsuragi Kohei's statement, Kitagawa Ryo also curled the corners of his mouth.

As expected, Katsuragi Kohei also saw the biggest drawback of the discussion session in this exam—insufficient information. Under these circumstances, even if Class A withdrew from the discussion, the other three classes would not be able to guess the favored student from Class A, since no one could risk choosing one or even one of the three or four students from Class A within their group.

[Class A's decision to forgo information gathering prevents them from attacking other classes, but it also prevents them from being identified and attacked by others.]

This is a move that only Class A has the confidence to take, since they don't have the same urgent need for class points as Class D. They only need to maintain Class A's status. It seems that even after passing the deserted island exam, Katsuragi Kohei's philosophy has not changed.

"Hey, silent?"

Honami Ichinose also realized Katsuragi Kohei's idea, and she also seemed to have no way to deal with this tortoise-shell tactic.

Up to now, Class A has proposed a strategy to achieve Result Two, Class B wants to achieve Result One, and Class D is single-mindedly hoping to close the gap by achieving Result Four and finding the favored students from other classes. Although no one can convince anyone else, they have all expressed their own attitudes.

This made Class C, who remained silent, stand out even more.

especially.

Seeing Kitagawa Ryo yawning and looking relaxed, the three classes who had been completely outmaneuvered during the exam on the deserted island always felt a little uneasy.

"Hey Kitagawa, why does your Class C seem even quieter than the already silent Class A?"

Karuizawa Kei tapped the table and asked proactively.

Everyone else's eyes quickly focused on Kitagawa Ryo's face, waiting for his answer.

"Oh, I just found your discussion very interesting, so I listened attentively."

Kitagawa Ryo yawned lazily:

"I'm a little sleepy from playing games for too long, sorry."

"As for this special exam?"

Kitagawa Ryo rested his hands on his chin, speaking in a languid and mysterious tone:

"Class C has found all the privileged individuals and cleared the level."

Aside from the other three members of Class C who already knew the news, everyone else present, including Katsuragi Kohei who had been resting with his eyes closed, was shocked by Kitagawa Ryo's words. They all turned to look at Kitagawa Ryo with disbelief and even horror. Kanzaki Ryuji even kicked his chair away and stood up. Horikita Suzune's smile, which she had maintained when she repelled Class B, froze on her face. Karuizawa Megumi's reaction was even more intense; she rushed to Kitagawa Ryo's side, frowning as she asked:

"How is that possible? This is only the first day of the exam!"

"We don't need to lie."

Ryuen Sho stood up and stood between Kitagawa Ryo and Karuizawa Megumi, hands in his pockets, and laughed:

"If you don't believe me, I can prove it to you right now."

The next instant, Honami Ichinose and Yosuke Hirata's phones beeped with the sound of receiving a text message.

What made the leaders of Class B and Class D shudder was that the text message actually contained three names, and these three people were precisely the ones who received preferential treatment in Class B and Class D.

"Really?"

Because Katsuragi Kohei had lost control of the class, he didn't actually know who the privileged student was. However, seeing Ichinose Honami and Hirata Yosuke's pale face, he asked with trembling lips.

"Excuse me, Katsuragi-kun, what Class C said... seems to be true."

Honami Ichinose's chest heaved as she took several deep breaths to calm herself down. Although Ryo Kitagawa still looked relaxed, the other three classes felt that the other side had truly grasped their fate.

Unlike the leaders in the deserted island exam, the privileged members this time cannot be artificially replaced. If Class C directly selects nine privileged members outside of its own class, it can directly gain 450 class points in this special exam, while Classes A, B, and D will all lose 150 points. Keep in mind that the current gap between Class C and Class A is less than 200 points.

It could even be said that if Class C wanted to, they could achieve the feat of moving up to Class A in just one semester by the time the exams ended three days later.

"But Kitagawa, you didn't do this immediately. Instead, you took the initiative to tell us... What exactly are your plans?"

Horikita Suzune was the first to come to her senses. Perhaps she was used to being defeated, because this time she quickly overcame her frustration. Maybe this is the mindset after losing too many times.

"Intend?"

Kitagawa Ryo considered for a moment, crossed his legs, looked around, and finally spoke:

"My original idea was similar to Fanbo's; I hoped to use this exam to gain a lot of personal points."

"Do you two still remember the contract we signed before?"

Honami Ichinose and Yosuke Hirata paused for a moment before remembering that Class B and Class D had signed a contract with Class C during the start of the school year and the exam on the deserted island, respectively:

Before the end of first grade, Classes B and D will unconditionally cooperate with Class C in one operation, but this will not involve class points or student withdrawals.

"Yeah, that's it."

Seeing the thoughtful expressions on their faces, Kitagawa Ryo slowly spoke:

"If I wanted to, I could even get 83.5 million personal points in this exam."

"Eight thousand...three million five hundred thousand?"

"how is this possible?"

"Even the four classes combined don't have that many points."

Because of Kitagawa Ryo's words, a discussion with doubts broke out around him.

"OK."

"As long as everyone agrees on result one, it will be fine."

Honami Ichinose's tone was somewhat bitter, and Suzune Horikita immediately realized what was going on, but she was still a little confused:

"If you use a contract to guarantee that Class B and Class D won't betray you, what about Class A?"

"Class A? Class A will only agree to Class C's requests."

Karuizawa Megumi glanced at Katsuragi Kohei and added:

"Don't forget, it's not just Class C and Class A that have similar point counts now; Class B and Class A also have about two hundred points."

"If Class C is willing, we only need to provide Class B with one preferential treatment spot from Class A."

"Tsk tsk, a student in Class A of Grade 1 is going to be relegated to Class C in the first semester of school."

"Can the prestigious Class A accept this contrast? They have no choice but to agree, since it's just personal points."

Under Kitagawa Ryo's guidance, everyone present also understood his wildly imaginative plan:

[Class C is responsible for providing all the privileged individuals. They use contracts to guarantee that Classes B and D will not betray them, and threaten Class A to comply. After forcibly getting all twelve groups to achieve Result 1, all personal points will be transferred to Kitagawa Ryo. There are a total of 156 students in the entire grade. Excluding Sakayanagi Arisu who did not participate in the exam, there are 12 privileged individuals among the 155 students. They can obtain 143 x 50 + 12 x 100, for a total of 83.5 million personal points.]

If the plan succeeds, it means that the school has been reaped more than 80 million points without changing the points in each class.

After realizing this, everyone also realized the huge gap between themselves and Kitagawa Ryo, after all, this was a full 83.5 million points. The highest point record among previous students was only 12 million, and that was under the premise of fraud.

Twenty million for a single class transfer is more than enough to transfer four people, or even more.

Someone swallowed hard, bringing the crowd back to their senses from their reverie over the enormous figure.

"but."

"As I just mentioned, this was my initial idea."

Kitagawa Ryo leaned back in his chair and turned to look at Shiina Hiyori. He knew that if he insisted on doing this, Shiina Hiyori would also choose to support him.

However, Kitagawa Ryo still cares about what Shiina Hiyori said last night, because it was the first time he had felt such a strong desire from Shiina Hiyori.

Everyone has wishes they want to fulfill.

Kitagawa Ryo looked at all the eyes that were on him, and he smiled little by little.

Karuizawa Megumi wants to earn 20 million points to transfer to Class C.

Horikita Suzune wants to overcome herself and gain recognition.

Kohei Katsuragi wants to regain his position in Class A.

Honami Ichinose wants to work hard for the students in Class B.

Hiyori Shiina wants to reject everything about Kei Karuizawa; she will never accept Kei Karuizawa transferring to Class C.

Long Yuanxiang wants to lead everyone in Class C to Class A.

…………

Outside this room, the other students probably all have their own wishes.

At Tokyo Advanced Educational High School, where points can buy anything, 83.5 million points are enough to satisfy most people's desires.

"I heard that the teacher who explained the exam yesterday described it as a game of werewolves."

Kitagawa Ryo opened his arms and said loudly:

"Let's have a real werewolf game on this cruise ship."

“I will open a new transparent account as a prize pool, with a prize pool amount of 83.5 million personal points. There will be a total of 12 participants, who need to be eligible to participate and contribute 1 million personal points to the prize pool as a participation fee.”

"The total entry fee of 12 million will be used to entrust the school to monitor the entire game to ensure fairness."

Points can be used to buy anything, including school staff and even the equipment itself.

"In addition to my own entry, the school will randomly place eleven invitations inside the cruise ship this afternoon."

"By 8:00 AM tomorrow, all those who have an invitation letter and successfully deposit one million personal points into the prize pool will be considered to have successfully registered. If not all invitation letters have been collected, the school will randomly select participants."

"At 8:00 AM tomorrow, all participants will begin the game after confirming that everything is correct."

"To ensure fairness, all participants will not meet in person throughout the game, and their voices will be processed using special equipment so that no one knows each other's true identities until the game ends. Please rest assured."

"Of course, in addition to receiving a guaranteed spot in the competition, I will also be under the supervision of the school and will not have any special privileges or the possibility of cheating."

The winning team will split all the prize money in the prize pool equally.

Kitagawa Ryo looked at everyone who was completely speechless and just staring blankly at him.

He knew very well that no one would refuse such a game, because they absolutely did not want to see Kitagawa Ryo gain 83.5 million personal points for nothing.
