C Class's camp was easy to find. According to Ibuki, it was on the beach on the south side of the island, close to the harbor.
After coming out of the thick forest, Kamio Tatsuya saw the lively beach with many students.
Beach chairs, umbrellas, barbecue sets, and even cold soda!
How envious!
Ryuen, you deserve to die!
With a bit of resentment, Kamio Tatsuya stepped into C Class's territory. As soon as he appeared, he was spotted by someone from C Class.
"Um, Ryuen wants to see you..."
The person who came was a male student. His face was full of fear, so it seemed he had been threatened or violently punished by Ryuen quite a bit.
After walking for a while, Kamio Tatsuya realized that C Class was really extravagant.
According to what he had seen in the handbook before, all the stuff on the beach now would cost at least a hundred points.
So, C Class still has more than a hundred points left?
Kamio Tatsuya thought it was unlikely because if they had points left, he wouldn't have let Kaneda and Ibuki leave the camp.
Because every time someone is missing during roll call, five points are deducted, and with two people, that's ten points. It's already been two roll calls, so that's twenty points.
Even if Ryuen wants to enjoy himself, he wouldn't easily ignore those twenty points. It's too wasteful.
So, did Ryuen use up all the points?
What did he do with them?
Considering that he might be working with Katsuragi, if the points are really gone, then it's very likely they were used to help B Class.
So, what did Katsuragi give up to make Ryuen give him so many supplies?
Arriving on the beach, Kamio Tatsuya saw Ryuen lying on a beach chair under an umbrella, wearing beach shorts. On the table beside him were a walkie-talkie and a bottle of unknown liquid.
"You're planning to use that to contact Ibuki and Kaneda, huh."
Kamio Tatsuya walked up to Ryuen and looked at the walkie-talkie on the table.
"Heh, I knew I couldn't hide it from you. But seeing that you didn't kick Ibuki out, does that mean you accepted my challenge?"
"Hirata took her in. If I were the leader of D Class, that Ibuki wouldn't even be able to get close to D Class's camp."
Kamio Tatsuya looked at the relaxed Ryuen and then quietly stood under the umbrella.
"So, you're not the leader of D Class."
Kamio Tatsuya and Ryuen chatted like old friends. You couldn't tell that these two were students from enemy classes.
"Do you believe me if I said I was?"
Kamio Tatsuya didn't say anything, but he took out the fake key card with his name on it from his pocket and put it on the table.
And it was face up, with Kamio Tatsuya's name clearly written on it.
Kamio Tatsuya was thinking on the way here whether to use the key card to mislead Ibuki, but he decided against it.
If he were the leader and exposed the key card to Ibuki...
How much of an accident or stupidity would it take for a dummy like Ibuki to know he was the leader?
And Kamio Tatsuya thought that even if Ibuki took a picture of the key card, Ryuen probably wouldn't believe it.
If the leader of D Class was someone else, Ryuen might believe it a little, but Kamio Tatsuya... forget it.
Knowing Ryuen's understanding of Kamio Tatsuya, if Ibuki really took a picture of Kamio Tatsuya's key card,
That would be really screwing him over.
You ask why?
Wasn't the previous lesson enough? He already has something like a trauma response now.
Because he anticipated these things, Kamio Tatsuya chose to directly take out the key card, giving Ryuen some face, in case he wanted to go to C Class later.
Sure enough, when Ryuen saw the key card, he immediately got uneasy.
"What do you mean by this?"
"It doesn't mean anything. I've already shown you the key card. Do you think I'm the leader of D Class?"
Kamio Tatsuya picked up the key card and flipped it over in front of Ryuen, afraid he couldn't see it clearly.
So, is Kamio Tatsuya the leader?
Ryuen didn't believe it at all. Having been tricked by Kamio Tatsuya twice, he was very sure that Kamio Tatsuya was tricking him again now.
As long as he wrote Kamio Tatsuya's name on the last day, he would definitely have fifty points deducted.
But this also means that Kamio Tatsuya might be involved in this exam.
"Didn't you say you weren't interested in class battles?"
You actually believe that?
You shouldn't be that naive...
"Heh." Kamio Tatsuya smiled and didn't answer. "By the way, I'm here to tell you the information about the class leader."
"You know who the class leader is?"
Ryuen's tone changed a bit. It's only the second day of the exam. How did you do it?
"Totsuka Yahiko, Katsuragi's little follower."
Him?
Ryuen immediately made the connection.
"Ha, why should I believe you?"
"Believe it or not, it's up to you. I've already told Ichinose the same information. She promised me that she would write Totsuka Yahiko's name on the last day.
As long as you also write Totsuka Yahiko's name, then B Class will have one hundred and fifty points deducted because three classes guessed the leader.
Plus the points needed for the B Class to survive, they probably won't have any points left in the end, which will be a lesson for those elites."
After hearing Kamio Tatsuya's muttering, Ryuen fell into a brief silence before speaking: "I'm afraid your plan will fail. Albert, go get that thing."
That thing?
Soon, a piece of paper appeared on the table between Ryuen and Kamio Tatsuya, looking like a contract.
"What is this?"
"Take a look."
Kamio Tatsuya picked up the contract and read it, then fell silent.
The contract was simple. Ryuen would give up two hundred points worth of living supplies in this exam, and B Class would pay Ryuen eight hundred thousand private points every month afterward.
At the same time, there was an additional agreement.
If Ryuen could accurately provide the identity of the leaders of other classes and tell B Class, then B Class would give Ryuen an additional five thousand points every month on top of the previous amount.
Below were the signatures of Ryuen and all the students in B Class except Sakayanagi. All thirty-nine people in B Class were there.
So, he guessed right. The missing points from C Class were indeed given to B Class, and B Class paid eight hundred thousand private points every month.
So, B Class's two hundred and seventy points were completely unused?
In that case, even if the leaders of the remaining three classes are guessed correctly, B Class would still get one hundred and twenty points.
That's very different from the expected zero points.
What?
You say Ryuen and Katsuragi are working together, so they won't write each other's leader's name?
Don't be naive. Backstabbing is Ryuen's specialty.
Although the contract clearly states the content of the cooperation, it doesn't say anything about not attacking each other.
Of course, all of this is based on the premise that someone from C Class can survive until the last day.
C Class has basically used up all its points. Once the resources here are exhausted, they will all return to the ship.
So, is Ibuki the leader, or is Kaneda the leader?
Kamio Tatsuya looked at Ryuen, wanting to seek an answer from him.
But when he saw the fighting spirit in Ryuen's eyes, he immediately understood.
This guy...
Isn't he planning to hide himself and become the leader?
Hiding in plain sight?
Pretending to go one way while secretly going another.
Ryuen, how much do you like the Thirty-Six Stratagems?
But why would you tell me this directly? Are you showing off?
Getting off track, let's rethink the way to deal with B Class.
"I have an idea?"
As soon as Kamio Tatsuya spoke, Ryuen looked wary.
"You gave Ibuki a camera, right? If you use that camera to take a picture of this key card and then give it to Katsuragi, do you think he'll believe it?"
Since Katsuragi asked Ryuen to use the camera to record the key card, it proves that he didn't think about the fact that key cards could be faked.
In that case, you can completely use this fake to mislead him.
"Ibuki, that incompetent one!" Ryuen cursed at the air, but he quickly realized, "You didn't tell the students in D Class about this?"
Because if the students in D Class knew about this, Ibuki would definitely be kicked out. After all, how could someone who was kicked out of the class still have a camera?
Since no news has come yet, that means the students in D Class still don't know about this.
But since this guy came up with such a method, it means he isn't afraid of the key card being seen at all.
So he's really not the leader.
So dirty, this jerk!
