After hearing the method Kamio Tatsuya suggested, Ryuen went silent for a short time.
Since this guy dared to do this, it meant he wasn't the leader of Class D, or rather he wouldn't be the final leader of Class D.
Was he planning to change the leader's identity at the last minute?
Or was this key card a fake from the start?
No matter the situation, Class D would probably have a hard time breaking through.
Also, in Ryuen's view, Kamio Tatsuya showing the key had another intention: I've already shown you the key card, so don't bother with our class, since I can make a fake one, I can make a second one.
In simple terms, it was to discourage them.
Should he call Ibuki back?
No, with her personality, even if he told her, she wouldn't come back right away.
Otherwise, that punch would have been for nothing.
In reality, Ryuen was overthinking things. Discouraging them was just a side effect. Kamio Tatsuya's main goal was still to trick Class B.
There were many ways to target Class B. The most direct way was to increase Class D's class points and exceed Class B.
However, weakening Class B's class points was also a method.
That way, even Chabashira Sae wouldn't be able to say anything.
As for whether this would inadvertently trick Class C, Kamio Tatsuya said he didn't care. He had already given a thorough warning.
If they still fell into the trap, then Ryuen was an idiot.
In addition, it couldn't be ruled out that Kamio Tatsuya actually wanted to trick Class D and deliberately tell Class B the leader's identity.
However, Ryuen quickly dismissed this idea, because the look in someone's eyes when they want to stab someone can't be hidden. On the ship, Kamio Tatsuya looked at that Totsuka Yahiko with that kind of look.
"You really are a nasty guy."
Since he said that, it meant Ryuen had agreed.
"Same." Kamio Tatsuya smiled. "I'll cooperate with her in the last two days."
"Hmph, of course I know. A key card obtained after only one day of sneaking in, even that blockhead Katsuragi would suspect it."
Ryuen picked up the drink on the table, took a sip, and then put it back down.
"Hey, Ishizaki, the drink isn't cold anymore. Get me a cold one, and get this bastard one too."
Hearing Ryuen's order, Ishizaki, who was playing beach volleyball, immediately ran towards the tent.
"What do you mean 'bastard'? We're partners, at least, aren't we? You dogshit king."
Kamio Tatsuya took the cola Ishizaki handed him and said, dissatisfied.
But Ishizaki's become quite perceptive lately. He even knew I wanted to drink cola.
"Okay, it's almost time. I should go too. And you have new guests coming."
Kamio Tatsuya glanced at Ryuen, and then looked at Horikita Suzune and Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, who were walking towards them.
The reason Kamio Tatsuya came out alone was that he didn't want to bring Ayanokouji.
As a result, this guy tricked Horikita Suzune into bringing him here.
With this combination, Ryuen would definitely treat Ayanokouji as a follower.
However, Kamio Tatsuya didn't plan to remind him, because Ayanokouji was currently an ally, so he might as well take this opportunity to see what he could do.
For example, whether he could see that Ryuen was the leader of Class C.
Honestly, Kamio Tatsuya really admired Ryuen's strategy this time.
While other classes needed to endure the high temperatures and harsh living conditions, only Class C could have fun to their heart's content.
And after they spent all their points and returned to the ship, Ryuen alone would bear all the responsibility, and then put on an amazing comeback.
If Ryuen really did it, then even if Class C had accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction before, it would probably vanish in an instant.
And Ryuen's level of support in Class C would reach an unprecedented level.
Although their positions were different, Kamio Tatsuya really hoped that Ryuen's great feat would succeed.
It's a pity that, even if Kamio Tatsuya did nothing in this exam, with Ryuen in the open and Ayanokouji in the dark, his failure was perhaps inevitable.
Kamio Tatsuya picked up the cold cola on the table, opened it, and took a sip.
"For the sake of this cola, I'll give you a word of advice: try to trust others. Taking everything on yourself isn't a good thing."
"Hmph, I thought you were going to say something important."
Ryuen didn't take Kamio Tatsuya's words to heart at all.
At this time, Horikita also walked over with Ayanokouji.
After seeing the cola in Kamio Tatsuya's hand, Horikita frowned.
"Why are you hanging out with someone from Class C?"
This guy was as nosy as always. Her one sentence ruined his already good mood.
"Does who I hang out with concern you?"
Kamio Tatsuya retorted to her, and then left directly.
Garbage Class D, he didn't want to stay for even a second.
"Tatsuya."
Just a few steps away from Ryuen, a girl still wearing her sports uniform ran towards him.
"Hiyori, aren't you going to play with your friends?"
Clearly, the students of Class C were all having fun, but Shiina was wearing a sports uniform and didn't seem to be playing at all.
"Hey, Ryuen, no one in Class C is bullying Hiyori, right?"
Hearing Kamio Tatsuya's words, Ryuen didn't know what to say.
You really are nosy.
"No! I'm just not good at sports." Shiina sighed. "If only there were books."
"Let's not disturb Ryuen's guests. Let's go for a walk over there."
Kamio Tatsuya glanced at Ryuen and the two uninvited guests from Class D. Kamio Tatsuya took the initiative to pull Shiina away from here.
"Okay."
Looking at Kamio Tatsuya and Shiina Hiyori leaving hand in hand, Horikita's brow furrowed.
He didn't know if she was worried that Kamio Tatsuya would leak Class D's information, or for some other reason.
"Is there anything Tatsuya wants to play? Feel free to say so."
Play, huh? Kamio Tatsuya looked at Shiina and then shook his head.
Although there were many toys here, most of them were related to sports. Kamio Tatsuya could have fun, but if he did, Shiina would probably just have to watch Kamio play.
"Let's go sit up there. I remember there's a well-maintained lawn up there."
Kamio Tatsuya pointed to the outskirts of the forest not far away.
That was one good thing about the artificial island: the lawns were well-maintained.
"I didn't expect this lawn to be so soft."
Lying on the lawn, Kamio Tatsuya rested his head on his arm and looked relaxed.
Speaking of which, if they camped here, they wouldn't need to put toilet paper under the tent at night.
"Yeah, and the sky is so blue."
Shiina also lay down next to Kamio Tatsuya, looking at the clear sky, and then stretched out her hand.
Well, white and tender, it must taste good.
"It's nice to just blankly stare at the sky like this sometimes."
"I guess so."
"Tatsuya, I woke up really early today."
"Can't get used to sleeping here?"
"Not really, I'm just not used to the lifestyle here. After it gets dark, I don't know what to do at all, so I went to the tent to sleep early."
"I see, then do you want to sleep for a bit now? It's quite comfortable here."
"Then will Tatsuya sleep with me?"
Uh…
Miss Hiyori?
Saying that will cause misunderstandings, you know.
Kamio Tatsuya rarely fell silent. Shiina didn't continue speaking. The two of them just looked at the blue sky, the white clouds, and the birds that occasionally flew overhead.
Looking at the blue sky, feeling the salty sea breeze, Kamio Tatsuya's eyelids began to droop, and then he gradually lost consciousness and fell into a dream.
"If Tatsuya was in Class C, we could often look at the sky like this together."
Kamio Tatsuya, who was lying on the side, didn't reply.
"Tatsuya?"
Shiina called out softly, but didn't receive any response.
"He fell asleep."
Looking at Kamio Tatsuya's face, which had softened because he had fallen asleep, Shiina's face also showed a faint smile.
"Good night, Tatsuya."
