"The fact that it's specifically marked that reaching 3000 points will directly trigger the formal exam is blatantly telling us that those six 3000-point items are the 'monster targets' that Su Wei and the others will have to deal with tonight. They're just temporarily inactive."

"To get a high score, besides positional warfare, you have to gamble with your life."

Matsushita Chiaki's eyes gleamed:

"Compared to those monsters, I'm actually more curious about what the 'ghost' representing 2500 points really means. No need to touch it... it sounds like a living thing?"

Hirata Yosuke turned to look at the silent Ayanokoji:

"In any case, it's best to discuss this with everyone first and not touch any props for the time being. If someone accidentally starts the formal exam ahead of time, our test will not only lose its meaning, but we will also be in a dead end."

Kiyotaka Ayanokoji did not respond.

He simply stared at the countdown numbers on his wristwatch and the distant beams of light representing Class D's color.

Just then.

Kohei Katsuragi, the representative of Class A, walked alone to the front of Class D's camp.

He stated his purpose frankly:

"I'm sure you've already guessed what the 3000-point item represents."

"I have reached a temporary agreement with Kaneda from Class C and Kanzaki from Class B. Until we have a complete understanding of all the items, for everyone's safety, none of the four classes should touch any items for the time being."

Katsuragi looked at Hirata:

"Now, only Class D has not yet given a reply."

Hirata Yosuke agreed almost without hesitation:

"I think this proposal is very reasonable, and it's what we want. But let me make it clear from the outset: if anyone breaks the agreement to steal high-score items, we're sorry we can no longer abide by the agreement."

Katsuragi Kohei nodded: "Of course."

Just as the leaders of both sides were reaching a preliminary "ceasefire agreement," and everything seemed to be moving in the direction of peaceful development.

"Hirata."

Kiyotaka Ayanokoji suddenly spoke, his gaze sweeping over Hirata, Matsushita, and Koenji.

"Time is running out. We must get to our position first to prevent anyone from raiding our base."

"But before the game begins..."

He raised the wristwatch in his hand:

"Has anyone thought about how to allocate our initial 10000 base points across the four people's wristbands?"

"Actually, it depends on what your ultimate goal is in this test."

On the way to Class D's position, Rokusuke Koenji took out his personal vanity mirror and casually adjusted his blonde hair.

"If you don't want to compete for a ranking, you can just stay in the base. With 'infinite' points when you make contact with the enemy, you can rest easy for these sixty minutes."

"Kōenji-kun, you make that sound too easy." Matsushita Chiaki sighed helplessly.

"Since we've already come to participate in such a dangerous test, whether for our safety afterward or for the reward... who would be willing to give up? If given the chance, we would definitely want to win."

"After all, only first place doesn't count as a failure."

Hirata Yosuke pondered for a moment, then continued:

"Perhaps we could try concentrating all the points on one person?"

"The other three will stay at the base to guard against sneak attacks. This way, the person who goes out will be invincible against the other classes as long as no one touches the props."

"No."

Kiyotaka Ayanokoji rejected this seemingly safe suggestion without hesitation.

"According to the rules, the bracelet will be locked after one duel, and you must return to the base and touch the position to unlock it. If you give all 10,000 points to one person, that person will have to return after one duel."

"In this complex container terrain, if you also have to find props, there simply isn't enough time."

Ayanokouji paused:

"Besides, I don't think people from other classes will honestly abide by the agreement."

"Faced with items that don't immediately appear to be the highest-scoring, I doubt anyone would truly let them go. After all..."

"So-called agreements are meant to be broken."

After hearing this, Rokusuke Koenji stopped looking in the mirror.

He raised an eyebrow, looking at this classmate who, like Su Wei, had initially failed to make a significant impact, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes:

"Hehe...not a bad understanding."

"However, Boy, you can't let that make you neglect the base's protection. What if one of the classes gets too caught up in the collective mentality and decides to launch a surprise attack on the base?"

"Even if it costs one person their life, as long as the others can reach our position and gain those 10,000 base points... such a suicide attack is not impossible."

Koenji offered his own conclusion:
