While Kamio Tatsuya was thinking about these things, the students in Class D started arguing again, seemingly because of the toilets.
The girls couldn't accept the simple toilets the school provided, while the boys felt they could just put up with it. The two sides started arguing directly over this trivial matter.
They really have a lot of energy. Don't they feel hot in this sun?
"Wow, the other classes are starting to move."
As expected, Class A and Class B were bothHeading into to the forest. Class C was probably still waiting for Ryuen's orders.
Speaking of which, Ryuen wants me to work with him to take down Class A. What does this guy plan to do?
These Class D guys are really useless. They're arguing endlessly over a toilet. What's wrong with spending 20 points to buy one?
Instead of thinking about how to save points, why don't they think about how to earn them?
Do they want everything?
A bunch of greedy people.
We can't count on the pacifist Hirata anymore. Is there no one in this huge Class D who can take charge?
Just as Kamio Tatsuya was about to step forward, change the subject, and move things forward, Kushida stood up.
"I think the most important task now is to find a suitable base. We can discuss the toilet issue later. After all, it's quite hot in the sun."
Kushida's connections came into play at this time. Although the boys and girls were still arguing, everyone was willing to give her face and decided to move first.
"In that case, let's all go into the forest."
With that, Hirata volunteered to carry the heavy tent, which weighed 15 kilograms.
Seeing Hirata taking the lead, the others didn't say much. They also picked up other luggage or helped Hirata carry the tent.
As for their backpacks, they were shared by the others who weren't carrying luggage.
Then, Ike walked up to Ayanokouji: "Ayanokouji, I'm going into the mountains with Yamauchi and Sudou to explore, so I'll leave the luggage with you."
Then, without giving him a chance to refuse, he stuffed the luggage into Ayanokouji's arms.
"Wait a minute, Ike. It's dangerous to enter the forest without a plan," Hirata quickly stopped him.
"Don't worry, I won't push myself and ruin my body," Ike waved dismissively. "If we find a usable base, we'll come back right away. Besides, it's not good to just stand here, right?"
"I support Ike's idea, but please try to find a place with a river and flat ground."
"Oh? Kushida, do you know about camping too?"
Ike, who was about to leave, stopped in his tracks and perked up. He looked like he couldn't wait to sit down and chat with Kushida for hours.
"Yes, I have some camping experience."
Okay, okay, fake camping experience, got it.
"Anyway, if we find a place to camp, we'll start a fire. Then everyone will see the smoke and won't get lost."
After making the necessary preparations, Kamio Tatsuya quietly fell behind the group and walked alongside Chabashira-sensei.
"Chabashira-sensei, I want to ask about the key cards. Besides the one that the leader must have, can you buy additional key cards?"
Chabashira Sae glanced at Kamio Tatsuya and then said with interest, "Although I don't know what you're thinking, I'm sorry to say that only the leader can use the key card. If others use it, they will have points deducted."
"You didn't understand what I mean. I mean, can we get something that looks like it but can't actually be used?"
In other words, a fake key card.
The rules don't say you can't make fakes. Don't blame me if you guys are too stupid.
Thirty-six strategems—replace the beams and pillars with rotten timbers, create a fake to confuse the real!
This is a substitution trick!
Chabashira Sae glanced at Kamio Tatsuya and then nodded.
This kid is really awesome.
While the others are still thinking about how to save points, he's already thinking about how to mislead the other classes into guessing the wrong leader and weaken them.
According to the theory of point relativity, if others lose points, it's the same as me gaining points!
Although there was no direct sunlight in the forest, the temperature was still very high, and they were wearing sportswear, which was really hot.
"Everyone, let's rest here for a while and wait for Ike's news. Here, we can block the sunlight, and we don't have to worry about anyone eavesdropping on our conversation."
Hirata, who helped carry the tent, put it down and suggested to the students.
The students, who had already used up their energy because of the heat, consciously stopped.
Then the students began their first topic of discussion.
The toilet issue.
"I thought about it while we were moving. I think we should set up a toilet first."
Hirata's tone this time was different from before, with a very firm feeling.
"Don't just decide that. Also, I've received objections from Ike."
The person speaking was Yukimura Teruhiko, that's right, the guy who got first place in the written test.
But as soon as this guy opened his mouth, Kamio Tatsuya knew why he was assigned to Class D. He's a total bookworm, good for nothing besides studying.
Considering that the upcoming exam, which could earn a lot of personal points, might also require some say, Kamio Tatsuya decided that he should stand up and say a few words at this time.
"Then can I ask Yukimura what your reasons are for opposing setting up a toilet?"
"Kamio-kun?"
Hirata was a little surprised but also happy at Kamio's sudden remark.
Although Kamio Tatsuya hadn't shown much in class, every time he took action, he really solved the problem.
Therefore, Hirata was very happy that Kamio Tatsuya could stand up.
But compared to Hirata, Yukimura wasn't so happy.
"Of course, it's to save points, is there any need to say that?"
"In other words, you think that one simple toilet provided by the school is enough for all forty people in the class to use, right?"
Kamio Tatsuya didn't rush to refute Yukimura. Instead, he followed the other party's words.
Arguing with a guy like this will get you nowhere. He needs to use language to make the other party realize his mistake.
Commonly known as—talking him down!
"That's right, as long as we use it properly, there's no doubt it can meet everyone's needs."
I see, Kamio Tatsuya nodded. If we're idealizing, one toilet could indeed meet everyone's physiological needs.
But this is just idealizing.
"Yukimura, I think you've had a few upset stomachs in your life, right?"
He thought Yukimura would answer this question immediately, but he actually started thinking about it.
This guy…
He's pretty sick.
"I have."
"In that case, can you guarantee that you won't have an upset stomach in these seven days? You know, according to Ike's plan, we're going to catch fish and pick fruit to eat.
Can you guarantee that the toilet will be empty when you have an upset stomach? Even if you can guarantee your own physical condition, can you guarantee the physical condition of others?"
A series of questions made Yukimura blush. He really wanted to say "yes" forcefully, but reason told him that he couldn't.
"That's right, you can't do it, and neither can I. If the toilet isn't empty at that time, there's only one measure we can take, which is to go in the wild.
Shouldn't that be considered polluting the environment? Polluting the environment results in a deduction of twenty points, while setting up a toilet is only twenty points. Do you understand now?"
To be honest, Kamio Tatsuya didn't think two toilets would be enough.
Because he always felt that going to the toilet was contagious.
In his previous life, when he rented a place with his friends, they often ran into each other when going to the toilet.
If conditions allowed, Kamio Tatsuya would have wanted to dig a row of latrines on this island. The sanitary conditions might be a little worse, but at least they wouldn't have to hold it in.
After being told off by Kamio Tatsuya, Yukimura compromised immediately. After all, he was someone who could do well in his studies and had the ability to distinguish right from wrong, unlike those three idiots.
"Thank you, Kamio-kun."
"You're welcome, I'm also a member of this class."
Well, for now.
Then, after Hirata confirmed the location of the toilet with Chabashira-sensei and other issues, he started the next agenda.
"Next, I don't think we can put all our hopes on Ike and them. We should take action too, right?
If the main base is occupied by other classes, it will inevitably widen the point gap, right?"
It's more than that. If a suitable place for camping is occupied by other classes, Class D will have to travel further to camp.
But looking at Ike, he seems to have a lot of camping experience, and the terrain of this island isn't complicated. There are many suitable places for camping. Kamio Tatsuya saw this clearly when the ship went around the island.
It was because there were several suitable places for camping that Kamio Tatsuya didn't say anything to remind them. Because in this situation, it's still easy to find a campsite.
"So, are there any people among us who are proficient in wilderness survival?"
Hirata looked around with hopeful eyes, hoping that such a person would stand up.
"Um, if you don't mind, I can go!"
The person who stood up at this moment was Kushida.
Although he didn't know how Kushida's action ability was, she undoubtedly played a good leading role.
Soon, a group of people eagerly participated.
"Eleven people? If one more person could participate, I feel like we could divide into four groups."
Then Hirata continued to look at the students around him. Next, Kamio Tatsuya raised his hand.
Since he decided to target the Katsuragi faction, Kamio Tatsuya felt that he should take action now. If he put all his hopes on Hashimoto, the mole, he would be looked down on.
Moreover, there was also a place he wanted to go. When the ship was sailing around the island just now, Kamio Tatsuya noticed that Katsuragi had been looking at the cave in the mountain several times.
That should be his ideal base, right? After all, it's located high up and has a good view, so he can easily observe the distribution of supplies on the island.
In Kamio Tatsuya's judgement, that's also an excellent place to camp.
The twelve people were smoothly divided into four groups. In the same group as Kamio Tatsuya were Ayanokouji and Koenji.
Two roommates, that's troublesome, but Kamio Tatsuya didn't mind just pretending they didn't exist.
The road in the forest wasn't easy to walk, at least Kamio Tatsuya wasn't very good at it, and the trees were lush and green, so there was no way to go straight to the place he wanted to go.
At this time, Ayanokouji took the initiative to come over.
"Did you discover something, so you're preparing to go out and explore?"
Is this guy a dog?
So sharp?
But, maybe I can borrow his strength…
"When I was on the ship, I saw a tower in the center of the island, and there was also a cave on the small mountain next to it. Do you have a way to take me there?"
Ayanokouji was silent for a moment, as if he thought of their similar situations, and then nodded: "Can you keep up with me?"
"Let's try."
Although he didn't have much confidence in his strength and speed, Kamio Tatsuya was somewhat confident in his stamina.
So Ayanokouji took the initiative to walk in front of Kamio Tatsuya and cut a path through the jungle, while Kamio Tatsuya followed behind Ayanokouji.
As for Koenji…
"Ah, how beautiful, I, standing leisurely in the middle of nature, am really too beautiful… the ultimate beauty!"
That guy was flying around in the trees while praising himself loudly.
But strangely, that guy was clearly walking in front of Ayanokouji, but the routes of both sides were surprisingly consistent.
Did this guy also discover it?
But Kamio Tatsuya was too lazy to care about him. He just wanted to get to the designated location quickly.
Under Ayanokouji's leadership, the two soon discovered a man-made road.
Following this road, the two quickly arrived at their destination, near the cave on the small mountain. However, Kamio Tatsuya and Ayanokouji didn't choose to go out.
As for Koenji, that guy disappeared long ago.
"It seems that's also a base."
"Who knows."
Just as Ayanokouji was about to go forward to investigate, someone also appeared from the other direction of the cave. It was Katsuragi Kouhei and Totsuka Yahiko from Class B.
When he saw the cave, Totsuka Yahiko's face lit up, and he rushed in directly.
"What should we do?"
"Of course, we'll wait for them to come out and then confirm the situation."
After about a minute, Katsuragi came out of the cave.
And that guy was holding a card in his hand, a card that Kamio Tatsuya had just seen from Chabashira-sensei.
A key card, is Katsuragi the leader?
Kamio Tatsuya wasn't sure, but he had a way to confirm.
From his sportswear pocket, Kamio Tatsuya took out a telescopic monocular, which he got from Chabashira-sensei when he asked if he could make a fake key card, and only needed five points.
After extending the telescope to its longest length, Kamio Tatsuya found a good angle to look at the card in Katsuragi's hand.
After selecting the leader, the homeroom teacher will issue the corresponding key card, and at the same time engrave the leader's name on the key card.
Kamio Tatsuya was aiming for this.
It's definitely not easy to see clearly the name engraved on such a small card, even with the telescope that Kamio Tatsuya applied for.
But Katsuragi was standing at the entrance of the cave without moving, as if he was cooperating with Kamio Tatsuya.
Thanks to this, Kamio Tatsuya found a good angle and saw the name written on the key card—YHIKO
Yahiko?
I didn't expect to gain something so quickly. Katsuragi, are you the real mole of Class A?
You're cooperating with me so much that I'm a little embarrassed.
