When I was teaching at the university, Brother Lu called me a pervert at the beginning.

"So I suspect that Hirata may have some kind of amazing past, which is why he has such a strange obsession with the class."

"I see. No wonder you asked me to tell you about the different points for men and women. It was to test Hirata, wasn't it?" Kikyo Kushida's eyes flickered slightly.

"Hmm, more or less!" Ayanokoji Kiyotaka replied calmly.

"Then what is your purpose in asking me to recommend you as the leader?" Kikyo Kushida asked.

"This is to complete one link in my plan, which is complicated to explain."

Judging from Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's tone, he simply couldn't be bothered to tell Kushida Kikyo his plans.

"Hmph, do you really think your plan can force out the person who's been threatening me from behind?" Kikyo Kushida looked at Kiyotaka Ayanokouji with a questioning gaze.

If it weren't for the need to cooperate in finding the person threatening her, Kikyo Kushida wouldn't want to cooperate with such a smart person, because it would make her look foolish and introduce uncontrollable factors.

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka shook his head.

"It may not necessarily force him to come out, but at least it can disrupt his plans."

Upon hearing Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's words, Kushida Kikyo frowned.

"Does that mean you're not confident you can force him to come out?"

Kiyotaka Ayanokoji nodded.

“Since there’s no way to force him out, what’s the point of me cooperating with you?” Kikyo Kushida clenched her small hands tightly. The person threatening her was like a sharp blade hovering above her head, and she didn’t know when it would fall.

“But at least during the trial on the deserted island, I can guarantee that he won’t give you any new orders,” Kiyotaka Ayanokouji said softly.

After a moment of silence, Kikyo Kushida glared at Kiyotaka Ayanokouji and said with displeasure:

"Is this all you're capable of, Ayanokouji!"

"Besides trusting me, do you have any other options?" Ayanokoji Kiyotaka said calmly, looking at Kushida Kikyo's gloomy expression.

Seeing that Kikyo Kushida remained silent, Kiyotaka Ayanokouji spoke again:

"How's the information I asked you to gather coming along?"

Kikyo Kushida glanced at Kiyotaka Ayanokouji and said:

"Apart from Horikita, who still has expectations for getting promoted to A, the others are not very interested in it. They only care about whether they can live a better life in school."

Upon hearing Kikyo Kushida's report, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji nodded.

"Hmm, not bad. Continue to stir up infighting or sabotage within the class, so that they completely lose faith in the upcoming days of the deserted island trial."

Kikyo Kushida frowned and asked:

"Ayanokoji! What exactly is your purpose in doing this?"

Kiyotaka Ayanokouji didn't say anything, but instead bent down to pick up the branches.

Seeing that Ayanokouji Kiyotaka was ignoring her question, Kushida Kikyo stomped her foot in anger, turned around, and walked towards the base.

After collecting some more branches, Kiyotaka Ayanokouji headed towards the base.

……

"Cough cough... Damn it! Why can't I light this fire!" Shinohara Satsuki squatted on the ground, one hand covering her mouth and the other fanning away the black smoke in front of her, her fair face filled with displeasure.

"What's wrong, Shinohara!" Kikyo Kushida rushed over when she saw Shinohara's disheveled appearance.

"Oh, it's Kushida!"

"What's wrong with you? Have you encountered any difficulties?" Kikyo Kushida asked with concern.

"Well, it's not a big problem! It's just that I can't seem to light this branch with a match." Satsuki Shinohara picked up a branch and placed it in front of Kikyo Kushida.

Kikyo Kushida took the branch, glanced at it, and suddenly exclaimed in surprise:

"Hey, this branch is half-damp, so of course it won't light."

Upon hearing Kikyo Kushida's explanation, Satsuki Shinohara's face showed a hint of embarrassment and anger.

No wonder she couldn't light the fire; it turned out there was something wrong with the tree branch!

"Strange, Youyuan, half of these branches you're carrying are wet!"

Kikyo Kushida picked up a branch from the ground and suddenly spoke.

"Ah! No way!" After a careful look, Shinohara Satsuki realized that the branches did indeed appear to be wet.

"Damn it, what are those boys doing! They can't even pick up a twig when I ask them to, they're so stupid!"

Outraged, Shinohara Satsuki grabbed the half-wet branch and walked towards the boy, her face filled with anger.

Upon seeing this, Kikyo Kushida's eyes flickered slightly, and she turned and walked towards Kei Karuizawa.

"Hey, can you guys be a little more careful? These branches are all wet! They won't light at all!"

Shinohara Satsuki threw the wet branch in her hand on the ground, put her hands on her hips, and looked at the people in front of her with a accusing gaze.

"What's wrong with you? We worked so hard to collect these branches! How could they not catch fire!"

Ike Kanji stepped forward, staring wide-eyed at Shinohara Satsuki.

"Heh, if you don't believe me, just light a match and see for yourselves!"

Satsuki Shinohara took a box of matches out of her pocket and handed it to Kanji Ike.

"Hmph, let's try it then. Do you think I wouldn't know what I picked up?" Chi Kuanzhi took out a branch from the woodpile and lit it with a match.

Before long, the branches were easily ignited.

"See! I told you the firewood we gathered was fine!"

Chi Kuanzhi immediately started shouting, and the boys behind him murmured in dissatisfaction.

"I think it's because you don't know how to light it, that's why you're blaming the firewood."

"Exactly! I think Youyuan is just too comfortable at home. He can't even do something as simple as starting a fire!"

Hearing their disdainful remarks, Oshihara Satsuki's face turned red with anger.

"What's going on? What are you all arguing about here?"

The commotion here also caught the attention of Yosuke Hirata.

"Hirata, it was Shinohara who deliberately caused us trouble! He said the firewood we collected wouldn't start a fire."

"It's clearly because she's too stupid and doesn't know how to order!"

"That's it!"

"No! I didn't wrong you! That firewood I had was really wet, it wouldn't light!" Satsuki Shinohara was almost in tears, and hurriedly shouted at Yosuke Hirata:

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Kushida. She saw it too!"

Chapter 76 A Disunited Class

"What's wrong? Youyuan, why are you crying like this!"

When Matsushita Chiaki saw that Shinohara Satsuki was emotionally unstable and had tears on her face, he was startled and quickly went over to comfort her.

"What's going on! Why did you make Youyuan cry!"

Karuizawa Kei frowned as she watched Shinohara Satsuki cry, and yelled at Ike Kanji and his group.

"What does this have to do with us! It was clearly Youyuan who provoked us first!" Ike Kanji looked at Karuizawa Megumi with dissatisfaction.

"No...no, I didn't provoke you!"

Upon hearing Ike Kanji's words, Shinohara Satsuki wiped away tears from the corners of her eyes and shouted.

"Ha, it was you who first came over and falsely accused us of having a problem with our firewood!" Yukimura chimed in from the side.

"That's it!"

"It was clearly Youyuan who came here to provoke us!"

"There's clearly nothing wrong with our firewood, yet she insists on framing us!"

The boys behind them shouted angrily. They had worked so hard to collect the branches, only to be wrongly accused by the girls. How could this not make them feel disheartened?

"Hirata, what exactly is going on!" Karuizawa Megumi turned her gaze to Hirata Yosuke.

So Hirata Yosuke told Karuizawa Megumi what had just happened.

She frowned, squatted down, and rummaged through the pile of firewood for a while before suddenly saying:

"Look, there are some wet firewood mixed in with these dry firewoods!"

When Ike Kanji heard Karuizawa Megumi's words, he was also startled and squatted down to search through the pile of firewood.

"This...this shouldn't be happening!" Chi Kuanzhi looked at the damp firewood in his hand, turned to the boys behind him, and asked:

"Didn't I tell you how to distinguish between dry and wet firewood? Why are you still picking the wrong kind!"

"No...no! We were very careful when we were gathering firewood, there's no way we could have found wet firewood!" Yukimura said, somewhat incredulously.

Before they started collecting firewood, Ike Kanji had already warned them, and they had been collecting it very carefully. How could they have found wet firewood?

"Hmph, I think it's you boys who aren't paying attention!" Matsushita Chiaki glared at them and shouted.
