The D Class students followed Ayanokouji to the cornfield, finished picking corn, and returned to the camp. It was already 1 PM.
"Ayanokouji, come with me for a bit. I need to talk to you."
As soon as he had some free time, Kamio Tatsuya immediately found Ayanokouji, planning to make things clear right away.
He also wanted to talk things over, thinking maybe their combined thinking could make the situation on the island clearer.
Ayanokouji seemed to have guessed Kamio Tatsuya's purpose, so they didn't waste time and went straight to the edge of the D Class camp.
Ayanokouji was very straightforward with Kamio Tatsuya. Since the other guy already knew his skills, there was no point in pretending to be clueless anymore.
Besides, everyone was in the same boat now. If they could work together, that would be good. Even if they couldn't, they shouldn't hold each other back.
"I have a few questions I want to talk over with you."
"Same here."
Ayanokouji nodded in agreement.
"First, the leader of B Class is Totsuka Yahiko. You shouldn't disagree with that, right?"
Ayanokouji nodded. This was something he and Kamio Tatsuya had witnessed together. He had also asked Ichinose about Katsuragi's character yesterday, so he was even more sure about it.
"Next is this." Kamio Tatsuya took out the fake key card. "You should understand what I want to do."
"Yeah, I think Ryuen must have worked with Katsuragi. The digital camera in Ibuki's bag is the proof." Ayanokouji said calmly. "Are you planning to trick Ibuki with this fake key card?"
"Ryuen won't fall for it, and I was outside all day yesterday. You guys were also capturing bases as you normally would. So Ibuki probably already knows the key card I have is fake."
Ayanokouji nodded. He had considered this as well.
If Ayanokouji had known Kamio Tatsuya had made a fake key card earlier, he would have tried to convince Horikita and Hirata not to capture any camps while Kamio Tatsuya was gone. That way, they could have misled Ibuki.
It was all a mistake caused by not having enough information.
"Do you think Ryuen will show the picture of the fake key card to Katsuragi?"
...
You're really dirty. Even in this situation, you're still thinking about messing with C Class.
"I plan to tell Ryuen directly that the key card is fake."
"Are you planning to work with Ryuen?"
"Not really working together, just trying to make him back off and maybe mess with C Class a little bit. After all, C Class is our common enemy." Kamio Tatsuya shrugged. "Besides, I've already told Ryuen and Ichinose who the leader of B Class is. Ichinose promised me she would write it down on the last day. I'm not sure about Ryuen."
"Do you have a problem with B Class? I thought you had friends in B Class as well." Ayanokouji was curious. He didn't know why Kamio Tatsuya was targeting B Class so much.
"To move up to a higher class, you don't necessarily need to increase D Class's points. Weakening B Class works too."
Kamio Tatsuya smiled. He didn't want to say that he was trying to get back at B Class because Yahiko was rude.
"Ryuen's plan, you've probably figured it out, right?"
"You mean the midnight plan?"
"Yeah. Since Ryuen chose to attack at midnight, that means he hasn't given up on the exam at all. Who do you think the leader of C Class is? Ibuki? Kaneda? Or Ryuen himself?"
Asked this question, Ayanokouji thought for a long time.
Kamio Tatsuya was leaning towards Ryuen himself.
If Kamio Tatsuya were doing this plan, he definitely wouldn't make himself the leader. It would make him too big of a target.
If it were him, he would probably make Ibuki or Kaneda the leader. Of course, Kaneda would be more likely.
Because Ibuki has a bad temper. If she couldn't successfully get into another class, her survival would be a problem.
Instead of waiting for her to mess things up and have to change the leader, Kaneda is more suitable.
But Ryuen's personality is different from Kamio Tatsuya's.
He doesn't trust anyone and thinks he can handle everything himself, so he's likely to be the leader himself.
Why are you thinking so long about such a simple question?
Kamio Tatsuya looked at Ayanokouji, feeling a little strange.
"I'm sorry, I can't tell you."
"Why?"
"Because I can't be sure you won't tell Ryuen my guess. If you tell Ryuen, it would put me in a bad spot."
Kamio Tatsuya opened his mouth, then laughed. You don't trust me at all.
"Very well, it seems you really want D Class to win. In that case, I won't ask." Kamio Tatsuya smiled. "What about A Class? Have you figured out who their leader is?"
"It's that girl named Shiranami Chihiro, right?"
Hearing the name Ayanokouji said so casually, Kamio Tatsuya was stunned.
What the heck? You know that too?
Did you plant a spy in A Class too?
"Yesterday, when Horikita and I visited the A Class camp, the A Class students would automatically look at her. So I think she should be the leader. I think Kaneda from C Class should figure that out soon too."
This guy is really amazing. He figured out who the A Class leader was in such a short amount of time, just by observing.
Looking at Ayanokouji speaking so confidently, Kamio Tatsuya suddenly said, "Aren't you afraid I'll tell the A Class students this information, which would be bad for you?"
"Horikita and Ichinose have formed an alliance. I wasn't planning on writing down the other side's leader's name anyway."
I see, so they formed an alliance. No wonder Ichinose was willing to take the risk to help Horikita.
But even after that incident, the alliance hasn't broken. How interesting.
I don't know what Ichinose is thinking. Why are you still hanging out with such a bad teammate?
"If you're really aiming for C Class, then I suggest you write down the name of the A Class leader."
Kamio Tatsuya's sudden statement surprised Ayanokouji.
"I thought you and Ichinose were on good terms. Why would you say something like that?"
"We are on pretty good terms." Kamio Tatsuya said calmly. "But the two things are unrelated. Besides, I'm not the one who formed the alliance with her."
"But doing that would break the alliance between Horikita and Ichinose."
So what if it breaks? They'll definitely be enemies in the future anyway. So this alliance is just going to end sooner or later.
There are no permanent friends, only permanent interests. Even if the alliance ends now, they can still re-ally when their interests align in the future.
"A king's road doesn't need allies."
After saying something dramatic, Kamio Tatsuya returned to the D Class camp.
Actually, even though that sentence sounds dramatic, it's not wrong at all.
The class battle isn't like war, because the losing side of the war might never recover, so you can take on your enemies one by one.
But this school is different. Even if you fail, as long as there are still people in your class, there's still a chance to come back.
So the worst case scenario is one class facing an attack from three other classes.
If you want to sit safely on top of the class, you need to be able to withstand attacks from three classes at once.
Therefore, in Kamio Tatsuya's eyes, alliances are a joke.
Too bad Horikita doesn't understand this, Ichinose doesn't understand it, and even Ryuen and Ayanokouji don't seem to understand.
