Practical teaching, all I want is your reward.

Soon, students from all classes gathered on the beach, where a temporary platform had been erected.

"It's so sunny, when can we have some free time?" someone complained quietly.

At this moment, under everyone's gaze, Majima Tomoya stood on the stage with a megaphone, facing everyone with a serious expression.

"First of all, I am very pleased that everyone was able to arrive here today. However, some people are unfortunately unable to attend due to health reasons."

Although Sakayanagi Arisu wasn't very enthusiastic about Class A and was only taking it for fun, she wouldn't try to be a burden to everyone at this time.

I'm just speechless. He was just spouting nonsense at me a moment ago.

"Next, we will begin the first special exam of the year."

As Majima Tomoya spoke, a commotion broke out among the students, especially in the direction of Class D.

"Hey, what's a special exam?!"

Regarding the special exam, Class A was basically aware of everything, Classes B and C were more or less aware of it, but Class D knew nothing at all.

"From today until the end of the exam, it will last for a week, with the deadline being 12 noon on August 7th," Majima Tomoya explained to himself. "During this time, you will learn to live in a group on this deserted island, and that will be the content of the exam. In addition, this is a special exam designed with reference to real corporate training, so it has very important reference value and practical significance."

Suzuki Toru was speechless. In a certain large Eastern country, there is a wolf-like culture, and in Japan, there is wilderness survival?

"How could this happen?" someone asked, their face pale. "Does this mean we have to survive in the wilderness on this island?"

"That's right. You are not allowed to board the ship during the exam period without a valid reason. You will need to prepare everything yourself, from your sleeping quarters to your food and drinking water."

With Majima Tomoya's explanation, the first-year students gradually understood the situation.

The school will provide each class with two tents, two flashlights, and a box of matches. As for personal items, each student will receive a toothbrush and toothpaste, and sunscreen and sanitary products will be provided without limit.

Yes, it's clearly not enough.

"The theme of this special exam is freedom. Whether you want to swim at the beach or have a barbecue, it's all fine."

"Hey, a free exam?!"

"Before the exam begins, the school will distribute 300 exam points to each class and also provide you with a usage guide. You can use these exam points to purchase daily necessities, including food and entertainment items. As long as you use the points wisely, you can fully enjoy this holiday."

"Does that mean it won't matter even if I spend it all?"

"It has absolutely no impact. These are all exam points, and they won't deduct points from your class's score."

Upon hearing this, some people subconsciously revealed a relaxed smile.

However, Majima Tomoya quickly shattered some people's illusions.

"However, at the end of the exam, the remaining exam points will be converted into class points on a one-to-one basis."

The entire place fell silent, with only the sound of the sea breeze and the occasional dust kicked up from the beach.

Immediately afterwards, a considerable discussion broke out in each class, with the students in Class A almost unanimously looking at Katsuragi Kohei.

Katsuragi Kohei, however, subconsciously glanced at Suzuki Toru, only to find Suzuki casually observing the other classes.

"According to the special exam rules, if a student withdraws from the exam due to physical discomfort or other reasons, their class will have 30 exam points deducted. Since one student from Class A is absent, the exam will start at 270 points."

After explaining the punishment, Majima Tomoya said that his speech was over and each class could move around freely.

So, the students from each class gathered around their respective homeroom teachers, and Class A was no exception.

"Do we students have to solve everything on the island ourselves?" Katsuragi Kohei asked.

“Yes, the school won’t interfere with you. You can do whatever you want, and even if you encounter difficulties, figuring out how to solve them is part of the exam,” Majima Tomoya replied.

Many students in Class A looked thoughtful. If they were to use their exam points to buy daily necessities, their class would have 30 fewer points than the other classes, which was clearly a disadvantage.

"Is the only option to solve the problem locally?"

Katsuragi Kohei murmured to himself, while looking towards the distant mountains and forests. Since it was a place carefully arranged by the school, there should be plenty of food.

Chapter 121 The Leader

"This can monitor your physical condition at all times, and it is also equipped with a positioning system, so you can contact the school immediately in case of an emergency."

Majima Tomoya took a watch from a box next to him; it was one of the supplies that the staff had brought down from the cruise ship.

"Could there be some dangerous wild animals?" Totsuka Yahiko's expression changed.

"Are you scared?" Majima Tomoya looked at Totsuka Yahiko's flushed face, then smiled. "Don't worry, this is just to prevent any accidents. There are no dangerous wild animals."

Before long, everyone was wearing watches. Suzuki Toru played with one for a while; it even displayed heart rate and activity status.

It seems this isn't the first time the school has organized such an outdoor activity.

Immediately afterwards, Majima Tomokazu also handed the user manual to Katsuragi Kohei.

"There are more detailed exam contents above. Regarding the key to this special exam, you need to know how to make good use of the rules."

The last page of the user guide contained a considerable amount of information.

If a student is physically unwell or seriously injured and the school determines that they are unable to continue the exam, 30 points will be deducted from their score, and the student will be withdrawn from the exam.

20 points will be deducted for any behavior that pollutes the environment.

Roll call will be conducted at 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM every day. 5 points will be deducted for each person who is absent.

If a student engages in acts of violence, looting, or damage to equipment against other classes, the class to which the student belongs will be immediately disqualified from taking the exam, and all of the student's personal points will be confiscated.

……

After they finished reading the exam rules, Majima Tomoya spoke again: "If all the exam points are deducted, your points will remain at zero, and you will not have negative scores."

Katsuragi Kohei nodded, then asked, "Where will the roll call take place?"

"School regulations stipulate that class advisors must accompany you, so please determine the location of your campsite. I will set up a checkpoint there before taking attendance. Also, once the campsite is determined, it cannot be changed without a valid reason, so please be careful."

Next to Majima Tomoya, you can see a lot of supplies, and even a computer, which is probably used to monitor students at any time.

"If you understand, let's now explain the additional rules."

Totsuka Yahiko's eyes widened in surprise, and he exclaimed, "There are rules too?"

“Because this is a reward program prepared for you.” Majima Tomoya said calmly, “We have set up many outposts on this island. As long as you occupy an outpost, you can get exclusive use rights, but only for eight hours.”

It's not just about the right to use it. According to Majima Tomoya, each time you occupy it, you will receive an extra reward point. However, the reward points cannot be used during the exam and will be accumulated after the exam ends.

The user guide provides even more detailed instructions.

1. A special key card is required to capture a stronghold;

2. Each time a stronghold is captured, one reward point will be awarded, which can be used freely.

3. Using a stronghold occupied by another class without permission will result in a deduction of 50 exam points;

IV. Only leaders may use the key card;

Fifth, leaders cannot be replaced without a legitimate reason;

6. The occupation rights of a stronghold will be renewed every eight hours.

……

“You need to identify a leader as soon as possible. I will then distribute key cards with the leader’s name engraved on them,” Majima Tomoya said. “On the last day, you can also guess the leaders of the other classes.”

If you guess correctly, you will steal 50 points from the opposing class and cause them to lose all their reward points. If you guess incorrectly, you will lose 50 points.

According to this rule, protecting the leader is of paramount importance, and the leader should not be allowed to wander around outside at will, exposing themselves to other classes in order to check in at a checkpoint.

"What punishment will be given if someone who is not a leader forcibly uses the key card?" Suzuki Tetsu suddenly asked.

Katsuragi Yasuhira looked surprised, but Majima Tomoya calmly replied, "Violations will result in the deduction of corresponding exam points. If someone forcibly uses the key card, you will deduct 50 points."

Suzuki Toru indicated that he understood and remained silent.

"Although there are still many doubts, I think we should act quickly," said Kohei Katsuragi. "It's too hot to just stand on the beach now, and we might get heatstroke. Let's move forward and explain as we go."

“Well, we’re not familiar with this place,” someone asked naturally.

Holding the user manual, Katsuragi Kohei explained, "There's a simple map in the manual, so we can look at it as we go. I also observed the terrain on the ship earlier, so it should be fine."

These words surprised many people. While others were admiring the scenery, Katsuragi Kohei was observing the terrain. He truly was a man with leadership skills.

To this, Totsuka Yahiko put his hands on his hips and laughed smugly: "Hmph, see? This is our Boss Katsuragi!"

Katsuragi Kohei was already numb to his subordinate's flattery. He immediately directed everyone to move the supplies on the ground, which included sanitary products, cardboard boxes, tents, and other items.

Immediately afterwards, Class A left the beach and began heading towards the forest.

At that moment, Suzuki Tetsu noticed that Class C had also started moving, but they were strangely heading towards the other side of the beach.

Class B stayed behind to discuss things, while Hoshinomiya Chie went over to Class D and pestered Chabashira Sae. It's estimated that both classes will have to wait a while before they can set off.

Before Suzuki Tetsuya could look for long, Katsuragi Kohei immediately came to his side.

"Suzuki, I want you to be the leader and in charge of checking in at the outposts."

Upon hearing this, Suzuki Tetsu felt many eyes on him, especially those of the Katsuragi faction students, who were somewhat bewildered.

After all, he had close ties with Sakayanagi Arisu and had long been labeled as a member of the Sakayanagi faction.

Even if they're not part of the Sakayanagi faction now, they'll be hers sooner or later.

"You want me to go and seize a point right now?" Suzuki Toru immediately understood Katsuragi Kohei's meaning.

"You can refuse if you don't want to, but I'll leave the camp work to you." Katsuragi Kohei's idea of ​​making him the leader was simple: he didn't trust anyone else with the key card.

This key card can only be given to someone he trusts.

Suzuki Toru looked troubled, not because the task was difficult, but because it was too coincidental.

A while ago, he drew a thing that was practically a map cheat.

“Okay, let me be a scout first.” Suzuki Toru readily agreed.

Before Katsuragi Kohei could speak, Hashimoto Masayoshi interjected, "I'll go too, it'll be good to have more people around."

Katsuragi Kohei looked at Suzuki Toru and, seeing that he showed no sign of resistance, pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, but you two need to be careful. If you run into anyone from another class, leave immediately."

Both of them were on Sakayanagi Arisu's side, which made Totsuka Yahiko show a very dissatisfied expression, but since Katsuragi Kohei had agreed, he couldn't say anything.

Subsequently, Katsuragi Kohei gave Majima Tomoya the name of Suzuki Toru.
