Practical teaching, all I want is your reward.

This is a new camera that Ryuen Sho bought for her and Kaneda Satoru using his exam points. The quality shouldn't be this bad, right?

If no one had ever noticed her identity, Ibuki Mio would have suspected that someone was deliberately targeting her.

No matter how difficult it was, with less and less time left before the exam, she had to take action.

So, yesterday, Ibuki Mio stole Karuizawa Megumi's socks.

Originally intending to steal her panties, she suddenly remembered the recent rumors about a perverted foot fetishist at school, so she simply stole her socks instead. She even deliberately sprinkled some of the fish soup she had saved inside Karuizawa Megumi's shoes, making them sticky and with a strange smell.

She casually stuffed the socks into a boy's backpack, hoping to force Class D to reveal information that would benefit her.

Next, the girls and boys started arguing, but strangely enough, Karuizawa Kei, who was known for her arrogant and domineering personality, was actually heartbroken inside the tent.

Taking the opportunity to check the luggage, Ibuki Mio carefully looked at the boys' backpacks again, but still couldn't find the key cards.

Watching Hirata Yosuke search the boys, she really wanted to help him, but it was destined to be impossible.

Chaos erupted in Class D, and the crisis of trust created some loopholes in their human wall tactic. At least the men and women maintained their distance, and the number of people was reduced significantly.

For example, Karuizawa Megumi and the others refused to get involved.

Ibuki Mio silently ruled out some people as suspects, but she needed to take the final step today.

At this moment, the girl was still sitting under a tree on the outskirts of the camp, quietly watching D class's every move.

Yosuke Hirata began arranging the food group for the day; some stayed by the river to fish, while others chose to go into the forest.

"Ibuki, do you want to come along too?"

While passing by Ibuki Mio, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka suddenly extended an invitation to her.

His invitation not only surprised Ibuki Mio, but also surprised Horikita Suzune, Kushida Kikyo, and Yamauchi Haruki who were standing next to him.

Ibuki Mio paused for a moment, then nodded calmly and agreed, "I understand. Since I've received your class's help, I can help out."

After saying that, she got up from the ground and picked up her backpack.

"It suddenly feels like I'm building a harem, it's amazing!" Haruki Yamauchi became excited for some reason, uttering all sorts of strange things to himself.

Kikyo Kushida did not refuse Ibuki Mio's joining; instead, she smiled and happily welcomed her.

Horikita Suzune had no time to care about these unimportant little things; she forced herself to keep up with everyone else.

Gradually, Horikita Suzune fell behind the group, while Kushida Kikyo and the others chatted in front.

Kiyotaka Ayanokouji also slowed down and said expressionlessly, "It's okay if you don't come with Mou, it's the last day anyway."

“No, I’ve been in the tent for a long time. If I don’t participate in your activities, people will suspect me.” Horikita Suzune pursed her pale lips. “Also, don’t mention this again.”

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka was silent for a moment: "How do you usually keep that key card safe?"

"Why are you asking this?" Horikita Suzune asked, frowning.

"I suddenly thought of a way that might entice other classes to make mistakes," said Kiyotaka Ayanokouji. "Could I take a look if it's alright?"

Horikita Suzune hesitated for a moment, then took out her key card and asked, "What's your plan?"

"You can give me the key card normally, and only take it back when you clock in. I can then subtly reveal the key card and make other classes mistakenly think that I am the leader."

Faced with Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's words, Horikita Suzune subconsciously fell into deep thought, but her mind was hazy, and the more certain the other party was, the harder it was for her to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

"What...what do you want to do?"

"Let me see the key card first."

Before Horikita Suzune could react, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka took the key card from her hand.

But at that moment, perhaps due to a slip of the hand or some other reason, the card fell from their hands.

"what!"

The moment Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's emotionless scream rang out, the people who were walking at the front all turned around to look back.

"what's wrong?"

"N-nothing, I just saw some bugs."

Kiyotaka Ayanokoji gave a vague answer to Kikyo Kushida's question, but his eyes were fixed on Suzune Horikita.

It's hard to believe that the other person could react so quickly, picking up the key card and putting it back in their pocket.

However, there shouldn't be any problems with this plan.

Out of the corner of his eye, he could see Ibuki Mio silently withdrawing her gaze.

"If you're careless like that again, I'll kill you," Horikita Suzune warned Ayanokouji Kiyotaka in a low voice.

Kiyotaka Ayanokouji ignored her reaction and immediately approached Haruki Yamauchi, and the two boys began to chat happily.

Just as he expected, Ibuki Mio did see the key card, and the girl was now somewhat bewildered.

I hadn't received anything in the past few days, but now the key card has been delivered to my door?

Before she could think for long, Haruki Yamauchi scooped up a handful of mud and suddenly poured it on Suzune Horikita, covering her completely in dirty mud.

Under Horikita Suzune's murderous gaze, Yamauchi Haruki dashed back to the camp, shouting something about "Long live the harem."

Faced with this sudden turn of events, the team seemed unable to continue.

Even after forcing themselves to stay alert, they searched the forest for an hour without finding any food, so they had to return to camp.

Since there were many girls queuing in the shower room, Horikita Suzune simply took a bath in the river. She put on her school swimsuit, ran to a secluded corner, and went into the river.

So, before noon arrived, Ibuki Mio stared blankly at the backpack and clothes that the other person had placed in the tent.

Although I don't understand the situation, I should be able to take it, right?

Chapter 146 The Runaway Girl

"Oh no! Fire! We're going to die!"

"We must have angered the residents of the deserted island!"

"Get the school to deploy rescue helicopters quickly, or the whole island will burn down!"

A panicked sound came from Class D's camp. Ibuki Mio, who had just obtained the key mission item, was taken aback. She looked suspiciously at the wisp of smoke rising from behind the toilet.

"Don't worry, everyone, it's just that the guidebook was burned!" Hirata Yosuke arrived at the scene immediately, and many students calmed down upon seeing him.

What is going on?

Ibuki Mio was confused; she hadn't set the fire at all!

"Why...who did this...Why can't everyone get along?"

As Hirata Yosuke muttered to himself, the students of Class D looked at each other in bewilderment. Without a doubt, someone must have started the fire; there was no way such a spontaneous combustion could have occurred in this environment.

Seeing Horikita Suzune rushing towards them, Ibuki Mio knew she couldn't stay a second longer.

He immediately grabbed his backpack and, taking advantage of everyone's attention being focused on the fire, ran into the forest without hesitation.

Soon after, lightning flashed faintly in the sky, accompanied by a rumble of thunder, and rain fell from the sky like bullets.

The weather at sea is unpredictable, especially in summer. Warm monsoons from the far southeast have brought abundant rainfall all the way to Japan.

As Ibuki Mio walked, she suddenly stopped and looked back, just in time to see Horikita Suzune.

What was the reason for catching up?

Horikita Suzune was slightly out of breath; her physical condition was deteriorating, but she believed she could still hold on, so she forced herself to ask, "You should know best about this matter. You did all of this, didn't you?"

"I don't know what you're talking about," Ibuki Mio denied her question.

"I'm sorry, although there's no evidence, I'm certain you're the one who stole the socks," Horikita Suzune said. "What you did today undoubtedly proves my point. If you don't want to suffer, please return my things to me."

Ibuki Mio ignored her and turned to run away, which startled Horikita Suzune, who quickly chased after her.

However, the former's agile figure darted left and right through the jungle, making it even more difficult for the weakened Horikita Suzune.

"If you don't stop, I'm going to resort to force to solve this problem!"

Upon hearing Horikita Suzune's voice, Ibuki Mio replied somewhat coldly, "Heh, try it if you dare."

After saying that, the petite girl stopped. In front of her was a large tree with a handkerchief tied to it.

Horikita Suzune tried to calm her rapid breathing, and with a serious expression, she assumed a karate stance; she was serious.

We will absolutely not let this guy escape!

A few minutes later, Ibuki Mio turned her gaze away from the unconscious Horikita Suzune, squatted down, and dug out a bag from under the tree. Inside were a digital camera and a walkie-talkie.

Since the camera broke down for no apparent reason, she simply hid here.

After about half an hour, Long Yuanxiang emerged from the depths of the woods.

"Why is there still one extra guy?"

"She chased after me, but I've already taken care of her."

"Tsk, another mistake has occurred. You've disappointed me too much, Ibuki."

Faced with Ryuen Sho's accusation, Ibuki Mio just snorted coldly and did not refute his words, after all, she also had her own reasons.

Where's the key card?

After taking the key card from Ibuki Mio, Ryuen Sho examined it for a while, then said, "Katsuragi, aren't you going to come and take a look?"

Then, Katsuragi Kohei also emerged from the depths of the forest.

"Your methods are really simple and crude."

This was the first time Katsuragi Kohei had ever witnessed someone stealing a card and then assaulting the victim.

"Just tell me if it's genuine or not?" Ryuen Sho smiled fearlessly. "With this key card, your chances of defeating Sakayanagi will be even higher."

“…As agreed, we will fulfill the terms of the contract.” Katsuragi Kohei silently returned the key card to Ryuen Sho, ignoring his deliberate provocation.

"That's good. You made the right choice." Long Yuanxiang extended his hand to him.

After shaking hands for a while, Katsuragi Kohei turned and left.
