Ike went to find Yamauchi. He had already understood that Yamauchi was in great danger now. If he didn't do something, then if there was an exam that required expulsion, everyone would choose Yamauchi.
He didn't have many friends, or rather, very few people talked to him, and Yamauchi was one of them.
Moreover.
If Yamauchi was expelled, then what would he do in the future? He would become the bottom.
So he immediately went to find Yamauchi.
But.
"Huh? Can't get close? Why, Ike, you're not jealous of me, are you!" Yamauchi said.
These words stunned Ike.
At this moment.
"Hey, what do you guys want to do!"
Sudo's voice, suppressing his anger, came from the cave entrance, and everyone in Ryuen Class was already accustomed to his irritable temper.
After all, Sudo was like this every day.
But this time, it was a little different.
Because the targets of Sudo's anger were two D Class students.
Ibuki watched Ike pull Yamauchi away, frowned, and prepared to go out to the beach for roll call.
But she was blocked.
Many people recognized those two, as they were the plaintiffs in Sudo's assault case not long ago: Komiyama and Ishizaki Daichi.
Of course, the result was that Ryuen Class lost the case, and these two had also been punished.
But meeting Sudo was like enemies meeting, with their eyes burning red.
It was just that.
"That's really D Class style, yelling and shouting!" Komiyama said. "Sudo, you haven't made any progress."
"What did you say?!" Sudo instantly flared up. "And who are you calling D Class?! I'm in Class C now, you guys are D Class."
"Heh heh, you only got that through schemes and tricks," Komiyama said. "Rather, Sudo, even if your Class moved up, you didn't contribute anything."
"You hateful guy! You guys framed me!" Sudo clenched his fists, but he couldn't refute.
Although during the trial, Horikita provided evidence that allowed him to turn the tables.
And the fight was a conspiracy by Ryuen Class, but… he was chosen as the target of the attack.
At the same time, his usual words and actions made people feel that he was the easiest to bully.
"Komiyama, and Ishizaki, what are you doing here in Class C?" Ibuki said, noticing that Komiyama and the others seemed to be about to conflict with Sudo.
Ibuki had already arrived at the cave.
She seemed to be preparing to go out to the beach for roll call.
In fact, Ibuki was also very sensitive to the atmosphere here; although she was taken in, there were many people in this Class who did not want her to stay.
Only a few people like Yamauchi would agree to her staying.
However, just now, the nature of the gazes from the Class C students by the bonfire, looking in her direction, had changed, looking over with some hostility.
At the same time.
Ike Kanji had also called Yamauchi away, even telling him not to have too much contact with her right in front of her.
She noticed that the Class's vigilance and hostility towards her had increased.
This was not conducive to her spy work.
Yes.
She was a spy, here to obtain the Team Leader information for Class C.
Her mind was not good, and her grades were not good, so to be promoted to Class A, she could only obey Ryuen's orders.
So Ibuki was actually seriously carrying out the orders.
"Oh? Ibuki, just one evening, and you're already speaking up for students from other classes!" Ishizaki Daichi said.
"I'm just making some gestures for them taking me in," Ibuki replied, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Heh heh, then you should just stay with them, it's best if you join them!" Ishizaki Daichi said.
"We are here to convey Ryuen's orders," Komiyama said. "Ibuki, in view of your and Kaneda's resistance to Ryuen, Ryuen has punished you two."
"You two are not allowed to return to the cruise ship!" Komiyama said.
"What do you mean?" Ibuki frowned, and from Class C, Hachiman and Horikita also paid attention.
They were speaking loudly right by the cave entrance, so it was hard not to hear them.
"You two opposed Ryuen, so it's hard to guarantee that you won't deliberately skip roll call or do something that would incur point deductions," Ishizaki Daichi said. "So Ryuen has decided to withdraw."
"We are going back to the cruise ship, and you two, just stay on the Uninhabited Island and suffer!" Ishizaki Daichi said.
"Wait a minute!"
Hearing Ishizaki Daichi's words, Horikita stood up from the campfire.
"Horikita Suzune…"
Ishizaki Daichi murmured.
During the previous trial, it was Horikita who produced the video of them before they attacked Sudo, and then turned the tide in the trial.
For Ishizaki, it was a person he had lost to once, so he was very wary.
And Hachiman also came to Horikita's side.
"You said Ryuen decided to withdraw?" Hachiman said. "Didn't he want to make a big splash in this exam?"
"You don't understand this. Our Class has already found a shortcut for this exam."
"We exchanged all our initial points for supplies and gave them to Class A, and then Class A will pay us living expenses corresponding to these 300 initial points until graduation. So, we can go back to the cruise ship and enjoy ourselves, directly escaping this suffering-like Uninhabited Island life," Ishizaki said.
"What does this mean?"
A student didn't understand.
Hearing Ishizaki's conversation, Kouenji, who was roasting by the fire and looking at his appearance in a small mirror exchanged with initial points, glanced over.
Because this was indeed a good solution for the exam.
Of course, compared to his solo-clearing a bunch of strongholds, it was still not enough.
Because once the initial points were used up, then in the end, only point compensation would be received.
But the stronghold points he occupied could not only become Class evaluation points but also bring in income.
"It probably means that as long as you participate in the Uninhabited Island Exam, you will definitely consume initial points, so instead of consuming them, it's better to directly sell all initial points, exchange them for supplies, and trade with other classes," Hachiman explained.
"There's even this trick?"
Hearing Hachiman's explanation, the Class C students showed surprised looks.
Because wouldn't this mean that although Ryuen Class didn't get the Class evaluation point reward, they… directly cashed out the 300 initial points!
Hey, hey, hey!
Can you even take the exam like this?
You know.
Their Class treated the Uninhabited Island Exam as camping, thinking that other classes definitely couldn't compare to them.
But Ryuen's Class was even more exaggerated, directly withdrawing and returning to the Uninhabited Island, and at the same time, because the initial points were traded, they could receive compensation.
It seemed that it wouldn't be much worse than the minimum 300 Class evaluation points they received.
"So, what we need to inform you is this, Ibuki, if you are not allowed to return to the cruise ship," Ishizaki said. "Of course, if you are willing to give in to Ryuen, then returning to the cruise ship is not impossible…"
"How could I possibly bow to him?!" But Ishizaki's words were interrupted by Ibuki, and Ibuki's emotions were very agitated.
Her face still had bruises, so it was reasonable for her to say such a thing.
After all, being beaten by Ryuen and then being asked for forgiveness was simply unacceptable.
"Hmph!"
Ishizaki and Komiyama saw Ibuki's resolute attitude and stopped talking to her.
"Back at school. We won't lose the next exam!" Ishizaki declared war on the Class C students as he was about to leave.
In other words, they would skip this exam and go all out in the next one.
It was just that the Class C students were still confused about how Ryuen Class could operate like this.
Hachiman was still at the cave entrance, and Horikita was frowning.
Because she hadn't thought of Ryuen's solution.
"Our Class has plenty of supplies," Karuizawa said at this time.
"Oh," Hachiman nodded.
"…" Karuizawa.
She felt that Hikigaya didn't understand her meaning.
Because.
Since Ryuen Class could sell supplies, couldn't their Class… also sell some supplies?
They could earn some living expenses.
But Hachiman was also very clear about this.
Of course, if there were supplies, they could be sold.
At the same time, not only supplies exchanged from the school could be sold, but also wild fruits, corn, and fish.
It was just that.
If Ryuen really exchanged all 300 initial points for supplies, then at least it could cover the consumption of an entire Class.
So it would be difficult to sell to Class A.
And Class B was an allied Class.
It wasn't good to ask them for money, and at the same time, Ichinose's stronghold in Class B was a vegetable patch they occupied after waiting for the 8-hour occupation time to end.
In other words, Class B's Little Angels had vegetables to eat.
They could also be self-sufficient in food.
So selling supplies would at most be icing on the cake rather than sending charcoal in the snow, not earning much.
And they had been at this school for more than 2 months, so logically they should have some understanding of this school, but there were still so many saints in their Class.
Then trading with other classes would yield living expenses to be equally divided among everyone, not Class evaluation points.
Hachiman didn't really want to make an effort.
So.
Promoting the Class to Class A, and in this process, taking a portion of the Class evaluation points to get this large income, that was what he wanted to do.
It just needed some attention.
Besides Ibuki, Ishizaki also mentioned someone named Kaneda who also remained on the Uninhabited Island.
And then.
Did Ryuen really withdraw?
Hachiman felt that if Ryuen really sold the initial points, then he would not withdraw.
And if Ryuen did not withdraw, and really sold all the supplies to Class A, then everything would be easy to do.
He acted on his thoughts.
"Sudo!"
Hachiman looked at Sudo on the side, "You run fast, go to the beach and see if Ryuen's Class really withdrew."
"Alright!"
Sudo was very fast, he ran out in an instant.
And he was also very dissatisfied with Ryuen Class, so he also wanted to know if they really withdrew as Ishizaki and the others said.
So he grabbed a flashlight and prepared to run towards the beach.
And Ibuki was still there.
Logically, she was going to the beach for roll call, but now she suddenly received the news that the Class had withdrawn.
So if the Class withdrew, there was no point in her going for roll call.
After hesitating for a moment.
"I'll go too," she said to Sudo.
"…" Sudo, Sudo looked back at her, "I'm fast, you might not be able to keep up!"
"I'm not slow either!"
And Ibuki said.
Saying that, she went straight ahead. From her back, her speed was indeed not slow.
Then.
Half an hour later.
Sudo returned.
"Ryuen and them..."
"They actually..."
"When I went, only ten Ryuen Class students were still on the beach, but when they saw me, they immediately got on the shuttle boat," Sudo reported.
"So at least ten students withdrew," Hirata, who had already finished showering and just came out of the bathroom to find the commotion, said with a sigh.
A student withdrawing due to physical discomfort would result in a 30-point deduction. So, under Sudo's gaze, at least 10 students withdrew, which means... even if Ishizaki and the others were lying, Ryuen Class would definitely lose 300 points.
With an initial score of 300 points, Ryuen Class would truly be at 0 points.
"And what's incredibly absurd is that they took all the free supplies provided by the school with them. It seems they were determined not to leave any supplies for Ibuki," Sudo said.
This made everyone fall silent for a moment.
They felt that Ryuen was truly a ruthless person.
"So Ryuen Class has truly given up on the exam."
"But they also made deals with other classes, so they can still receive their rewards."
Because of the arrival of Ryuen Class students, there were now over 30 Class C students gathered around the bonfire.
Meanwhile, Karuizawa drew circles on the ground with a small twig and said, "Since Ryuen Class has withdrawn, does that mean their Team Leader has also withdrawn?"
This topic was actually worth discussing.
Because the rules stated that the Team Leader could not be changed without reason.
So, if the entire Class withdrew, could it be considered that the Team Leader no longer existed?
However, Ibuki was still on the island, so it didn't count as the entire Class withdrawing. Therefore, it was almost certain that Ryuen Class's Team Leader was not eligible to withdraw.
But now Ibuki, the spy, had also returned.
Staying in the cave.
Answering directly would alert the enemy.
Hachiman believed that Ibuki was sent by Ryuen to be a spy and obtain their Class's Team Leader information.
So, since the mission was underway, Ryuen would certainly not stop here.
It was very likely to continue to the subsequent Team Leader guessing phase.
Hachiman also had his eyes on the points from guessing the Team Leader.
He and Ryuen were practically thinking alike.
However, he might have thought a little deeper.
