I have a life simulator.

As the numerous chaotic and complex thoughts in his mind were sorted out one by one, Kitagawa Ryo's pace gradually slowed down, and the campsite where their group had camped the night before gradually came into view.

After having a meal with Karuizawa Megumi, Sakura Airi, and Amasawa Ichika yesterday, they went their separate ways again. After all, with Amasawa Ichika holding the special card "Chosen One," which can increase the score by 50%, their group's current goal is to quickly get points for Classes B and D. Yesterday, they deliberately did not participate in the project directly after noticing that Ayanokoji Kiyotaka was following them, which can be considered as dragging the other party down with them and wasting half a day in a self-destructive way.

The duo of Shiina Hiyori and Ibuki Mio, who had been working with their group for two days, were no longer there. This was because they had made a promise with Ryuen Sho that Hiyori's group would be in the top three. In addition, under his instructions, Class D was in a state of near-total shutdown, not participating in any projects except those that guaranteed points. Kitagawa Ryo simply had Matsushita Chiaki from the class take the lead and pull together two other idle female groups to form a "playmate and score-boosting" group with Hiyori's group. Their task was to stick together and wait for projects that guaranteed all four groups would sign up at once, and then openly give points to one of Hiyori's groups. As long as they deliberately controlled the situation so that the three groups would take turns being last and eliminating one person, this group of twelve female playmates and score-boosting members could maintain their position for a long time.

Frankly speaking, only Class D of the current year could pull off such an operation. After all, it essentially involves investing the time, potential scores, and potential eliminations of three groups into one group. Even setting aside whether it will ultimately be profitable, getting the students from the other three groups to willingly become stepping stones and be eliminated is a rather troublesome matter for the leader.

And so, after experiencing the ultimate battle of one against eight at its peak, Kitagawa Ryo finally reduced the number of people in the camp back to the four people that the group had just formed. When he returned to the camp, Sakayanagi Arisu, Horikita Suzune, and Ichinose Honami had already gotten up. After all, apart from Sudo Ken's group, their group was the only one in Class D who needed to participate in projects as much as possible to get points, because they were now responsible for and supplying almost all of Class D's material needs.

Kitagawa Ryo's return immediately attracted the attention of the three girls in the camp. Although ten days of survival on a deserted island would be a tough test for everyone, on the other hand, it might be because they realized this in advance that they chose to team up with him from the beginning.

Whether it was Horikita Suzune, who was diligently preparing breakfast for the group and solemnly taking a sip of the hot soup from the stew pot, or Sakayanagi Arisu, who was intently studying the electronic map on her wristwatch to try and figure out the restricted areas the school would designate for the next time they would close the cordon, in order to plan the group's itinerary for the day, or Ichinose Honami, who was efficiently and skillfully making up her bed and luggage, folding and packing the tent into her backpack, they all immediately turned their gazes toward him and unanimously greeted him with "Good morning" or "Good morning" to begin the tenth day of Kitagawa Ryo's group's special exam on this deserted island.

Perhaps it was because they had shared joys and sorrows, and had even slept in the same tent for more than a week, but Kitagawa Ryo, while carefully responding to everyone's good morning greetings, inexplicably felt that the relationship between the three of them seemed to have improved a little.

"Wipe your sweat first, then wash your hands and eat."

Just as Kitagawa Ryo was somewhat stunned, Ichinose Honami smiled and took out a clean towel from her backpack and handed it to him.

As if to confirm her words, Horikita Suzune also quickly took off the apron she was wearing, and casually removed her hair tie, letting her hair, which had been tied up for cooking, come out of its restraints. She carried breakfast to the four of them one by one, and then went over to pull Sakayanagi Arisu, who was still immersed in calculations and speculations, over and put her on the seat.

Looking at the scene before him, Kitagawa Ryo couldn't help but shake his head with a smile. He felt that all the thoughts in his mind about the special exam, the course scores, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, and so on had vanished without a trace in an instant, and were completely filled by another kind of more satisfying emotion that surged up from the depths of his soul.

"I'm gonna start now."

Kitagawa Ryo clapped his hands lightly and smiled at the three people in front of him. This kind of feeling is perhaps the thickest filter in the world. If you hide it in your pupils and look at everything in front of you through it, including this somewhat difficult exam on the deserted island, the whole world will become bright in an instant.

Chapter 221: The Mission of the Tenth Day (6k)

Before heading off to participate in the project after finishing his breakfast, Kitagawa Ryo glanced at the real-time updated group and class rankings on his wristwatch. With nearly half of the students remaining on the deserted island eliminated, only 28 of the original 44 groups in the entire grade remained, many of which were not full groups and had already eliminated one or two members.

The names of the sixteen groups whose members were eliminated have turned gray on the leaderboard, and their scores in this special exam have been fixed. However, their rankings may still change due to the increase or decrease in the scores of the surviving groups.

Kitagawa Ryo didn't immediately look at the top groups. Instead, he scrolled the ranking list to the very bottom. Apart from Ryuen Sho, who was still holding onto last place with a score of zero, the names of the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth-to-last groups were all highlighted. After all, even the students in Class C, who had fallen into a state of giving up after Ryuen Sho went missing, dared not all drop out if their group might fall to one of these rankings that would affect the class's points. In fact, it could be said that the competition at the bottom was just as fierce as that at the top.

What reassured Kitagawa Ryo somewhat was that, apart from one team from Class D, almost all the groups struggling in this area were from Class C. After all, they didn't have Kitagawa Ryo's means of helping with supplies and saving points, so they simply couldn't save the necessary expenses. With almost all the other members of Class C who were above the safety line having fled the exam, the practice of mutual assistance between classes was also impossible. Rather, these few survivors from Class C were competitors to each other.

If Kitagawa Ryo's prediction is correct, in this situation where they are being gradually driven to the brink of despair, the students of Class C who are struggling in the punishment zone will definitely try their best to grasp the last straw. And the only group on the entire deserted island that can lend them a helping hand is actually the Shiina Hiyori group, which ranks first among all the groups in Class C.

If this opportunity can be used well, not only can these nearly desperate Class C students be temporarily brought into the class at the end of this special exam, but it can also improve Shiina Hiyori's reputation and status in the class to a certain extent.

Kitagawa Ryo was well aware that Shiina Hiyori never intended to become a class leader, but gaining as much support as possible from her classmates was more beneficial than harmful, from all perspectives.

After reviewing the latter half of the rankings and considering the implications, Kitagawa Ryo finally turned his attention to the top positions, which had been closely watched by everyone since the start of this special exam on the deserted island.

The current first place is still Katsuragi Kohei's group from Class 1-A. They are also one of the few groups on the deserted island that have been able to maintain their full team composition. The four members of Katsuragi Kohei, Hirata Yosuke, Kushida Kikyo, and Kamuro Masumi have excellent overall qualities. The combination of two men and two women also ensures that they are quite competitive in most subjects. In addition, with Ryuen Sho's hard work and support in the first seven days, their group has been in this position for some time.

The second place went to the mixed B and D class group consisting of Karuizawa Megumi, Amasawa Ichika, and Sakura Airi. After Karuizawa Megumi used the [Reinforcement] card to merge the two groups, their scores were naturally added together. Thanks to the special effect of Amasawa Ichika's [Chosen One] card and the high-quality personnel who could easily handle most types of questions, their group also made up for their score quickly over the past two days.

The gap between third and fourth place is actually quite small. Currently, the group in third place with a slight advantage is Sanada Yasushi's group from Class 1-A. Their group, along with Hashimoto Masayoshi's group and Matoba Shinji's group, are elite groups specially selected from Class 1-A to compete for high scores in this special exam, apart from Katsuragi Kohei's group.

Of the three groups, Hashimoto Masayoshi's group was probably the most unlucky. First, they were extorted by Kitagawa Ryo in the shrinking circle incident on the seventh day of the exam, losing a lot of points. Then, the other two members of the group, Morishige Takuro and Machida Koji, were eliminated one after another by D class in the following two days of the assignments. As he himself was also used as a pawn to exchange with Ryuen Sho, only Kito Hayato, who was good at sports-related assignments, was left to struggle in the group. The group's ranking had fallen from the top five at its peak to almost twentieth place.

Following closely behind Sanada Yasushi's group in fourth place is Shiina Hiyori's group, which Kitagawa Ryo has been helping to improve their ranking over the past two days. In fact, Shiina Hiyori and Ibuki Mio's partnership is quite competitive among all the groups. In the days leading up to the exam, they had been consistently ranked in the upper-middle range. After Kitagawa Ryo's deliberate support, they also rose to this ranking at a rocket-like speed. This is why Kitagawa Ryo is certain that the other students in Class C will come to Hiyori for help. After all, apart from their group, it would be difficult to find another student in Class C whose name starts with "Class C" in the top ten or even the top fifteen.

As for themselves, they are currently hovering around ninth, tenth, or eleventh place... There's no way around it; even with a 20% off discount card, the points needed to cover the entire class's supplies are still a considerable number. To maintain this ranking while bearing such a huge expense is already an amazing achievement for their group in terms of scoring efficiency.

As for Class B, which seemed to disappear in both the first and second halves of the competition, this was a unique offensive and defensive strategy of their class. After all, they could easily form an elite team from Class B that would rank in the top three, but in the end, they chose a one-on-one support strategy. Excellent students like Kanzaki Ryuji and Shibata Hayate, who could easily be placed in an elite group from Class A, were deliberately separated. This resulted in most of Class B's groups being concentrated in the upper middle positions. For example, the groups around eighth, ninth, and tenth place, like Kitagawa Ryo's group, were all from Class B.

Of course, group rankings are group rankings. After Kitagawa Ryo and his team screwed over Class A by a huge margin, Class B finally gained an advantage in the class rankings based on the sum of all group scores, although this gap has been visibly narrowing thanks to Class A's frantic counterattack over the past two days.

Unlike the neat ABCD rankings of the first seven days, the current class rankings have evolved into a BADC situation. Unlike Class B and Class A, which are getting closer and showing signs of overtaking, Class D has a considerable advantage over Class C. It is no exaggeration to say that the only group in Class C that is still consistently scoring points is Shiina Hiyori. Unless there is a dramatic reversal, Class D should be firmly locked in last place in the class rankings.

With the class rankings already decided, the only hope for Ryuen Sho, or rather Class C, lies with Shiina Hiyori's group, who wields the [Dual Blade] card. They can use its feature of increasing class points by 50% if their group ranks in the top three to stop the losses or even turn the tide.

After all, according to the school's rules, although the top three groups can get 300, 200 and 100 class points respectively, for the Hiyori group, if they can squeeze into the top three, the reward will actually become 450, 300 and 150.

Thinking of this, Kitagawa Ryo quickly recalled the class points and rankings of the four classes before the start of this special exam on the deserted island:

[Class 1A: 548 points]

[Class 1-B: 501]

[Class 1-C: 272 points]

[Class 1D: Midnight]

Thanks to the events he planned immediately at the start of the semester, the four classes A, B, C, and D this year have become the class with the smallest gap at the summer break of their first year since the establishment of Tokyo Advanced Educational Middle School. Moreover, the rewards for this special exam on the deserted island are exceptionally generous. It is no exaggeration to say that all classes have the potential to completely reverse the current situation and circumstances with this special exam. The same is true for Class D, which has maintained a zero score for almost an entire semester.

Kitagawa Ryo knew very well that Class 1-D had to achieve good results in this special exam on the deserted island. Although their homeroom teacher, Majima Satoshi, had been trying to boost the morale of the Class 1-D students, no amount of encouragement could really put food on the table. After being suppressed for almost a semester, what the Class 1-D students needed now was a resounding and exhilarating victory.

Whether it was the group of Sudo Ken, Yamada Albert, Yukimura Teruhiko, and Miyake Akito, who had once again pushed themselves to fifth place, or the other students who were willing to trust their leader's arrangements and opted for a conservative strategy, abandoning most of the topics and even willingly handing points to Shiina Hiyori and the other students from another class, they were all essentially hoping that the class could break free from its long-standing slump.

Thinking of the honest thoughts that their homeroom teacher, Majima Tomoya, had shared with him, Kitagawa Ryo took two deep breaths. In essence, he and Karuizawa Megumi were the same kind of people. Unlike Katsuragi Kohei and Ryuen Sho, who had actively aimed to become class leaders from the first day of school and possessed the confidence and even ambition to do so, neither he nor Megumi initially had much awareness or attitude towards this. It was only as time passed and their bond deepened that they gradually developed this awareness.

Needless to say, Karuizawa Megumi, who was in Class B, was in a different world. Perhaps due to the influence of a certain missionary leader named Kanzaki, Ichinose Honami was not assigned to Class B but came to Class D. In this world line, Class 1-B led by Karuizawa Megumi was not significantly different from Class B led by Honami. Although this consistent style of doing things did have considerable hidden dangers, I felt relatively at ease leaving it to Megumi.

Kitagawa Ryo himself was the same. Class 1-D, excluding students like Yamauchi Haruki and Ike Kanji, had shown a good performance throughout the semester. Perhaps with examples like Sudo Ken preceding them, most students were trying to change themselves. Considering it was relatively early in the summer after their first year, this was already quite good growth.

"Everything is ready, we can set off."

Honami Ichinose's energetic speech interrupted Ryo Kitagawa's thoughts. After receiving Ryo Kitagawa's promise that he would leave school with her again after the exam to face his mother, Honami, who had temporarily suppressed the gloom in her heart, returned to her usual self. However, looking at the other's bright smile and energetic figure, it was as if she herself had been given some kind of boost to willpower or physical strength.

"Hmm, south or east?"

Kitagawa Ryo nodded in agreement, and while asking Sakayanagi Arisu's question, he also carried her luggage on his back. Although Arisu's heart disease problem was completely resolved in the last simulation, her physical condition was still below average at this stage. Therefore, the other three members of the group had been taking care of her intentionally or unintentionally these days.

Their group is currently in area E8, which is northeast of D9, where the school's main base is located. However, since the west and east sides are already covered by dense restricted areas, the group only has two options for moving east and south. Going east means facing the huge mountain range that runs from northwest to southeast across the center of the uninhabited island, while going south means facing the beach.

Since the restricted area will be refreshed again tomorrow, the eleventh day, we must be extra careful in choosing our routes and campsites today. The sneak attack from the school on the seventh day has already served as a reminder to all students, and no one wants to fall into the embarrassing situation of waking up to find themselves surrounded by the poison circle.

What is Liang's primary goal right now?

Sakayanagi Arisu did not answer Kitagawa Ryo's question immediately, but instead asked a question back quickly, her beautiful, bright purple eyes looking up provocatively, as if she had already guessed what he was thinking.

"If we can get Hiyori into the top three, then Ryuen and the remaining students in Class C will completely side with us in the upcoming exams."

As Kitagawa Ryo spoke without hesitation, Sakayanagi Arisu confirmed the situation in a similarly light tone. Without asking why Kitagawa Ryo had brought up Ryuen Sho, who had lost his freedom of movement, she simply pointed to a spot on her wrist and said:

“Okay, then let’s go south first and then east, and look for people in the area around F9. Chiaki already communicated with me last night. If we want to snipe Sanada Yasushi’s group, the chances of encountering them are highest in this area.”

"Should we call any other available groups to come over?"

"No need. If a group that isn't strong enough comes over, it will easily cause us to lose members. We also need to try our best to get points in Sudo and Ichika's groups."

At this point, Kitagawa Ryo shook his head and glanced again at the Sanada team, which was still leading the Hiyori team by a narrow margin:

"Moreover, I feel that this group is performing a little differently than at the beginning of the exam. Their scoring efficiency has improved significantly. Either Class A has also specially assigned a group to help them score, or someone is deliberately saving their strength for the second half. Just like Ayanokouji, he has quietly risen to seventh place, making many students suspect that the card he got is actually the 'Chosen One'."

"By the way, do you know Honami, one of the members of Sanada's group?"

Referring to the information displayed on his wristwatch, Kitagawa Ryo read out the names of 'Morishita Ai, Satoshi Satoshi, and Yamamura Miki' one by one. Looking up, he saw Ichinose Honami speaking thoughtfully:

"Morishita-san, Satoka-san... they all seem like the normal type of students in Class A, the kind who are good at academics and sports. As for Yamamura-san, I don't usually have much contact with her, but I feel that she is a bit introverted."

"That's good. Let's not delay any longer and set off. We'll know what kind of team they really are once we meet them."

Seeing that even Ichinose Honami, who was extremely popular in the grade, couldn't give a clear answer, Kitagawa Ryo didn't press the matter further and nodded, ending the conversation.

"Today's task is to prevent their group from scoring as much as possible while we do our own, so that Hiyori can quickly move up to and solidify their third-place position."

As he spoke, he turned his head again and smiled encouragingly at Horikita Suzune, who, having not had a chance to interject the entire time, had begun to devise a lunch menu using the ingredients the group currently had:

"The task for area F9 is to shoot balloons. If we really encounter the Sanada group there, we'll have to trouble Suzune a lot."

Including the other party's simulation, he had taken Horikita Suzune to several temple fairs or cultural festivals with similar activities. Apart from repeatedly losing at goldfish scooping, it must be said that Horikita Suzune was quite talented in games that tested reaction speed and observation skills.

Horikita Suzune naturally saw the newly presented topic displayed on her wristwatch. She seemed to recall some past memories and nodded slightly, appearing to have no problem with it.

After determining their course of action and destination for the day, Kitagawa Ryo's group quickly made their way towards the designated F9 area. With Kitagawa Ryo's two hands, he easily lifted Sakayanagi Arisu onto the last cliff, and then, with the help of Ichinose Honami and Horikita Suzune, who had already reached out and placed their hands (which were not actually necessary), he climbed up as well. Finally, the F9 area, located on the beach, came into view.

[Project Title: Shooting Balloons (Team)]

[Topic Type: Other]

[Project Description: Each group must participate with all members. Registration will close one hour after four groups have registered or the project is announced.]

The registered groups will shoot balloons as a group, which will be divided into two rounds: fixed target and moving target. Each person will have ten shooting opportunities per round (the maximum time limit for each round is three minutes, and scores exceeding the time limit will not be recorded). One point will be awarded for each shot on a fixed target and two points for each shot on a moving target. The average score will be calculated after the two rounds, and the ranking will be based on the scores.

Example: Group A has a total of 33 points, Group B has a total of 28 points, and Group C has a total of 15 points. Therefore, C is greater than B, which is greater than A.

Project Awards:

First place: 2,500 points.

Second place: 2000 points.

The group with the lowest average score will be ranked last in this project. If multiple groups have the same average score, a tiebreaker will be held until a first-place and last-place group are determined.

The group that finishes last must select one member to withdraw from the exam within the allotted time. If no selection is made by the end of the time limit, the school will randomly select one member from that group to be eliminated.

Because there was nowhere to hide on the beach that could be seen from this side, Kitagawa Ryo's group noticed the Sanada group, who had just finished registering, as soon as they arrived. They quickly went up to them and successfully registered with the teacher in charge of registration for this project. Then they heard the teacher say:

"In that case, there's only one last group left."

Upon hearing the teacher's words, Kitagawa Ryo's eyes flickered slightly, and then he curled his lips into a playful smile, because he had already spotted Totsuka Yahiko alone on the beach not far away.

Just as Kitagawa Ryo was about to go over and try to get some information out of this designated idiot in Class A, he heard a familiar voice coming from behind him.

"...I should have made it in time."

Kiyotaka Ayanokouji, who also came here alone, calmly filled in the last spot for the assignment.

It's another three-on-one situation where A faces C.

Judging from the current situation, it seems that Kitagawa Ryo's group, which wanted to ambush Sanada's group, has been surrounded by Class A.

But Kitagawa Ryo showed no sign of panic. Instead, he calmly narrowed his eyes and began to examine the air rifle, a prop for this project, placed on the table in front of him.

This was not a premeditated plan orchestrated by Class A or Kiyotaka Ayanokoji himself, as was the previous one targeting the groups of Megumi Karuizawa and Hiyori Shiina.

Judging from the expressions of the three group members in Class A, it's easy to deduce this conclusion. Both Sanada Yasushi and Totsuka Yahiko had either a furrowed brow and a somewhat unsure expression, or a clenched-teeth expression of defiance. Moreover, the latter's expression seemed to be directed at Ayanokouji Kiyotaka himself.

However, it doesn't seem to be entirely a coincidence.

After all, to be honest, he already had a pretty good idea of ​​why these three A-class groups would come to the F9 area to participate in this project at this time.

"So, all four groups have successfully registered."

"I hereby declare the project officially commence!"

Chapter 222: One More Meeting? (7k)

As it turns out, Kitagawa Ryo's earlier guess about Sanada Yasushi's group, which had made a rapid rise in the group rankings in the past two days, was not wrong. The reason why they were able to surpass Hashimoto Masayoshi and Matoba Shinji's groups, which were at the same level in their class, was not only due to the purely accidental luck of those two groups, but also because of the late-game efforts of the group members and the intentional resource allocation from Katsuragi Kohei.

It has to be said that the feelings of all the students in Class A of the first year were like a rollercoaster ride during the three or four days from the seventh to the tenth day of the exam on the deserted island. First, they were suppressed for the first half of the exam by Class B because of Kitagawa Ryo's scheming, which cost them a lot of points and resources. Later, they were also disturbed by the rumors spread by Ishizaki Daichi, who was instructed by Kitagawa Ryo.

However, after experiencing the large dinner organized by Katsuragi Kohei and featuring their homeroom teacher Chabashira Sae, and the Hashimoto Masayoshi-Ryuen Sho incident deliberately planned by Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, most of the students in Class A quickly adjusted their mindset and began a counterattack in a united and indignant manner.

In Class A's recent comeback offensive, Sanada Yasushi's group stood out as the most outstanding team. With Morishita Ai's sudden increased activity compared to the first half of the course, Sanada's group, which scored frequently on many tasks, quickly caught the attention of Katsuragi Kohei.

After realizing that Shiina Hiyori's group, which was fiercely competing with their opponents for the third place in the group, was being tricked into giving away points by Class D, the bald man still gritted his teeth and followed suit. He sent out a weaker group from Class A, led by his confidant Totsuka Yahiko, to help Sanada's group score. This is why Totsuka Yahiko appeared in the F9 area at the same time as Sanada and his group, and he was the only one left in his group. The other members had already been eliminated.

It's somewhat ironic, really. Although the group that comes in last place in the project usually eliminates members in order of weakness to ensure the competitiveness of the remaining groups, the other students in Totsuka Yahiko's group had to consider the presence of the class leader, Katsuragi Kohei, and the cunning Totsuka Yahiko who might tattle on them later. So they deliberately left Totsuka, the weakest member of the group, until last. However, this choice made Totsuka's position in Class A even more awkward.

There is no better way to distract yourself from your pain than to hate a specific person when life is not going well, and for Totsuka Yahiko, the best target for that is Ayanokouji Kiyotaka.

After all, from his own perspective, the two of them were nothing more than Katsuragi Kohei's followers. And when it came to so-called 'loyalty,' Totsuka Yahiko felt that he was Katsuragi's most loyal supporter. But Katsuragi just completely trusted, no, let him do whatever he wanted. Especially the scene in the middle of the deserted island exam where he had to publicly apologize to Ayanokoji Kiyotaka in front of nearly half the class was still haunting Totsuka Yahiko's mind.

The resentment that had been building up since the start of the semester had blinded him to the fact that he couldn't even notice that their group of four's total score was still less than that of Ayanokouji Kiyotaka acting alone.

Of course, he might have noticed it too, but he would soon deceive and comfort himself with reasons such as "Katsuragi Kohei is intentionally taking care of him," "He was lucky to get a lot of research projects," or "Maybe he got a special card from the 'Chosen One,'" stubbornly and even obstinately believing that the two of them were actually at the same level.

"What is Totsuka doing? He looks like he's about to eat people."

Satoshi Rinaka, a student from Class A who was waiting to go on the sidelines, watched as the first student to participate in the project gritted his teeth, revealing a ferocious expression as if he was about to devour someone on the spot. He also watched as Yahiko Totsuka, who was pressing the trigger heavily with each colorful request as if it were his father's murderer, made a somewhat surprised remark.

"That goes without saying, it's definitely because of Ayanokoji Kiyotaka."

Standing next to him with her arms crossed, Morishita Ran sneered. As the key contributor to Sanada's team's sudden surge in the second half of the special exam on the deserted island, this girl exuded an aura that could be described as dignified or even domineering. However, what bothered Kitagawa Ryo more was the detail that she addressed Ayanokouji Kiyotaka by his full name. After all, in Japan, where social etiquette is highly valued, it is considered impolite to address someone by their full name so casually.


Seemingly noticing Kitagawa Ryo's gaze directed at her, Morishita Ran slightly turned her head, giving him a look that was both provocative and inquisitive, before turning back to him with a cool air.

Kiyotaka Ayanokouji, who was also waiting nearby to go on stage, overheard the entire conversation. Although he was subconsciously a little concerned about why the girl was calling him by his full name, he was more satisfied with the girl's actions over the past few days than with this question that he could investigate and confirm later.

In a sense, this is one of the key reasons why Atsuomi Ayanokouji asked him to choose Class A at the beginning of the school year. Thanks to the best students, the depth and breadth of talent in Class A is indeed unmatched by the other three classes. Rather, characters like Yahiko Totsuka are extremely rare. Morishita Ai, who emerged in this special exam on the deserted island, is the model that Kiyotaka Ayanokouji himself expects for the students in Class A.

After secretly marking the other person with a 'toolbox' tag, Kiyotaka Ayanokouji also thought with a touch of melancholy about his previous crush, Masumi Kamuro. It was a pity that even though he had caught the other person stealing at the beginning of the school year, Ryo Kitagawa interfered. Otherwise, his control over Class A wouldn't be limited to Kohei Katsuragi, and he wouldn't still be resented by Yahiko Totsuka for this.

"Six points for the stationary target, four points for the moving target, Totsuka Yahiko's team has a total of ten points, with an average score of ten!"

Soon after, Totsuka Yahiko, who seemed to have reached the maximum level of hatred and was about to unleash his vengeful rage on the balloons in front of him, actually only scored ten points, that is, six out of ten on the fixed target and two out of ten on the moving target, and finished the two rounds somewhat embarrassedly. The second group to appear, Sanada's group, also began to enter the field in an orderly manner, and began to raise their air rifles and aim at the balloons according to the instructions of the teachers present.

Because they were drawn as the last group to go on stage in the initial lottery, Kitagawa Ryo's group started chatting idly during the somewhat long wait.

"Speaking of which, how did Arisu figure out that Sanada's group would be in the F9 area?"
