"Not at all. They hid their leader very well. The check-in point in the camp was also hidden between the tents. If you don't deliberately walk over there, you won't know who checked in when passing by."

Long Yuan did not comment.

"Then in the wood-chopping competition, Class B came in fourth. The only thing that is certain is that the person who participated in the competition was Shibata."

"Fourth place?" Ryuuen nodded thoughtfully, "Tell me about the points consumed by Class B."

Jintian gave a brief account.

"That is to say, Class B was not particularly frugal in terms of points, but it did find unexpected ways to save."

"Is such that."

"Well, you can go back to the ship with them at night."

"clear."

After sending Kaneda away, Ryuen continued to think about how to reach this deal with Chihaya.

The supplies he got from the trick this time can help Class B save some points for meals, which is hard currency for both classes BD.

However, Class D is too poor to offer too many benefits. Class B is also unwilling to pay individual points, so the transaction needs to be based on class points.

This depends on Chihaya's ability.

Ryuuen still has great trust in this. What Chihaya said about targeting Class A must include guessing the leader of Class A.

In that case, maybe Chihaya will provide a leader for Class B or even Class D depending on the situation.

Although Ibuki has not been seen yet, Ryuuen is also included in the count. If Ibuki stays for one more day, we will have more information about Class D, even if it is just the rankings of the daily tests.

After confirming these, what Ryuen needed to do was to find an opportunity to meet with Chihaya and conduct a transaction. After all, he would only maximize his profits if he sold the supplies as soon as possible - otherwise, if he held three days' worth of supplies and tried to sell them on the last day, it would be impossible for him to get a good price.

As a shrewd businessman, Long Yuan would naturally not do business that would lose money.

He not only wants to make money, but also wants to make a lot of money! And how much he can make depends on the results of the tests every day.

173. I have a secret mission for you to carry out (3k)

Meanwhile, in Class D camp.

After seeing Chihaya and Hayasaka off, Suzune fell into deep thought.

Indeed, taking Ibuki in was out of sympathy and humanitarianism, because Ryuen was indeed the kind of person who would fight if he disagreed with someone. Basically, all the students in the grade knew that Ryuen got his position as the leader of Class C by relying on physics.

Even the people in Class C were not very shy about this. As long as they were not in front of Ryuuen, they might even tell you a wonderful story about the Ryuuen legend of how Ishizaki subdued Albert.

Although Suzune wasn't sure whether this was a self-torture tactic, Chihaya's reminder was by no means alarmist.

In these not-too-long 37 words, not a single time of the help that Chihaya provided to Suzune was meaningless, because the fact that Chihaya came over to remind her on purpose under such circumstances showed that this matter was by no means simple.

But how to get rid of Ibuki? Suzune didn't have any good ideas.

Although she is the leader of Class D, this "leader" is just an identity card, not a real leader. The real leader of Class D should be Hirata.

However, Hirata is the leader, but his actions are like those of the living committee. He is indispensable, but he is not able to accomplish anything in major matters. Therefore, when it comes to class decision-making, Suzune becomes more influential. This sense of separation makes Class D unable to act as efficiently as other classes, and it often takes more time to complete the same task.

Suzune herself was helpless about this. She didn't have the same affinity as Hirata, so not everyone was willing to buy into her account. After all, Suzune's indifferent attitude towards people might make people hold a grudge - especially for girls who would create several chat groups.

At this stage, Suzune needs to pay the price for her former arrogance - now she can no longer command her classmates like leaders of other classes.

However, some boys still trust Suzune. In the firewood-chopping competition at noon today, Suzune strongly requested Sudo to participate.

Sudo, who had been eager to prove himself since the midterm exam, lived up to expectations and won second place.

Class D was very satisfied with this, and they also knew that although Sudo was strong, it would still be quite difficult for him to defeat Albert Yamada, a foreign student from version C.

Sudo, who regained his confidence, suddenly became proud and said that the next competition could be left to him.

In response to this, Lingyin said that a decision needs to be made after evaluation, as not all projects are suitable for brute force.

However, before Suzune could be happy, Chihaya brought her news that Class C might have a conspiracy, which made her worry about how to deal with Ibuki - it would be difficult to convince the people in Class D if she unilaterally expelled Ibuki for this reason.

For example, if Ibuki told the students in Class D that she didn't want to see those annoying classmates and was willing to stay in Class D to help, then Suzune's insistence on asking Ibuki to leave would only be counterproductive - some girls in Class D are not good at studying, sports, or intelligence, but they are good at making sarcastic remarks.

Suzune's leadership is quite unstable. Once someone questions her, she will have a hard time moving forward.

"Oh." Lingyin couldn't help but sigh.

"Horikita--" Just then Ayanokouji appeared, and he noticed that Suzune closed her mouth at the right time when she sighed.

"Ayanokouji-san." Suzune's eyes lit up when she saw Ayanokouji, "I have a secret mission for you to carry out!"

"......Please allow me to refuse!" Ayanokouji refused without thinking. Just kidding, her, Horikita Suzune's secret missions are usually troublesome things, and anyone who does them is crazy. Not everyone is the famous V or the yellow-haired traveler.

"You have no room to refuse, Ayanokouji-san." Suzune rejected Ayanokouji's refusal, "You took the initiative to use the second place award without authorization, so you need to be responsible for this exam! Instead of just blending in with the crowd and doing odd jobs!"

"......Alas." Now it was Ayanokouji's turn to sigh, "So what do you need me to do? Just so you know, don't expect me to do anything difficult."

"I don't intend to ask you to do anything difficult, okay?" Seeing that Ayanokouji's attitude softened, Suzune smiled slightly, thinking that Ayanokouji had made up his mind. "I hope you can get Ibuki-san back on the ship. It's simple, right?"

"Huh? I'm going to?" Ayanokouji pointed at himself, "How can I possibly convince her?"

"Don't try to persuade her. You can use other methods as long as you can get her to go back to her own class." Suzune said, "Chihaya came here just now, and she hinted that my class C is most likely using a self-torture tactic."

"I understand. You are worried about being questioned by your classmates, so you leave this matter to me, right?"

"With great power comes great responsibility, Ayanokouji-san, I believe in you." Suzune said to Ayanokouji seriously, "I will keep your hidden strength a secret, so I'll leave this matter to you."

"......" Ayanokouji was helpless and could only obey the order and leave.

Although he has extraordinary abilities, Ayanokouji also needs to think a little about his approach.

Suzune gave him one day to have Ibuki return to his class before the test at noon the next day.

Considering Class D's current sympathy for Ibuki, it would most likely not be accomplished through words alone, so Ayanokouji planned to try another approach and use some despicable means to achieve his goal - Suzune hadn't given him any specific methods anyway.

......

On the other side, Suzune went to find Hirata after defeating Ayanokouji.

"Is there anything you want to talk to me about, Horikita-san?" Hirata smiled as always.

Because Chihaya and Hayasaka had just been here, Hirata guessed that Suzune might have received some news and came to discuss it with him.

"It's like this. When I was chatting with Chihaya just now, she told me a way to make me more comfortable when I sleep at night."

"Really? How many points does it take?"

"No need to count. When we are assigned to a temporary toilet, there is a rule that says there is no limit on plastic bags, right?"

"You mean-"

"Yes, we can be a little unreasonable and ask the school to prepare more for us. In order not to waste resources, we can just stuff an unused plastic bag into another one and return the intact one."

"What a clever idea! I'll arrange it right away!" Hirata said and left in a hurry, probably planning to call a few boys to arrange this matter.

----split line----

After leaving Class D, Chihaya took a look at Class A's camp from a distance.

"There should be a check-in point inside the cave, otherwise there would be no need to choose such a place just to hide the supplies sent by Class C." Chihaya said, "Then Class A probably used their personal points to purchase these supplies from Ryuen."

"Is it a good deal to exchange class points for personal points?" Hayasaka asked, "Aren't class points more important?"

"That's what I said, but don't forget how to use your personal points."

"You mean 20 million personal points can be used to transfer classes? Wouldn't that mean sacrificing the interests of the entire class to fulfill one's own—"

"No, for Ryuuen, what he pursues is definitely not to graduate from Class A alone." Chihaya shook her head. "The advantage of graduating from Class A is that you can freely choose your ideal university or go directly to work. So can you imagine Ryuuen choosing the above two?"

"......" Hayasaka was silent for a few seconds, "I can't imagine going to college or going to work."

"So for Ryuen, Gaoyu is more like a place for him to prove himself. Which one can better prove his ability: relying on the class's resources to advance to Class A or leading all the members of Class C to advance to Class A?"

"Wait a minute! According to what you mean, Ryuen's plan is to collect enough personal points!?" Hayasaka's eyes widened, and the usually calm maid was also shocked, "That's 800 million points! Didn't they say that no one has even collected 20 million points since the school was founded?"

Chihaya didn't comment.

"This person is so scary..."

"That's why it's interesting, whether it's Ryuuen or Sakayanagi." Chihaya glanced at Class A from a distance and turned away, "Katsuragi is still too young."

"Do you know the leader of Class A?"

"I don't know yet, but I guess it won't be Katsuragi. He probably knows that he is very popular, and he dares to trade with Ryuen, so at least he can't reveal any flaws. In that case, it would be more reliable to find a member of Katsuragi's faction. People from outside the class may not even notice him, and they may not even know his name."

"So it's not dangerous for you to be the leader?"

"That's true, but my position as a leader makes it very convenient for me to trade. After all, if I guess correctly, it will be 50 points. If one side gains, the other side loses, and the difference can be 100 points. It is precisely because of such a high return that Longyuan decisively chooses the 0-point strategy."

Chihaya stopped walking after leaving Class A's camp.

"Aren't we going back?" Hayasaka asked doubtfully.

"No, wait for the big gift package that Sakayanagi will give us." Chihaya said calmly.

"So you weren't playing with your phone while eating?" Hayasaka suddenly recalled Chihaya's behavior, "You usually don't play with your phone while eating."

"Yes, I am reporting back to Sakayanagi." Chihaya nodded.

"So, Miss, what is the price?"

"The price? Just some insignificant promises and information."

Before Hayasaka could answer, a girl in sportswear appeared in front of the two.

"Kiyasu Jinmuro-san." Chihaya gave the visitor a business-like smile.

174. Transactions

"Kiyasu Jinmuro-san." Chihaya gave the newcomer a business-like smile, "Is it okay for you to come out openly like this?"

"Nothing, it's free time now." The person who came was Masumi Kamuro from Class A, a die-hard Sakayanagi faction.

Although their attitude is extremely bad, they are indeed from the Sakayanagi faction and can be trusted. There is no need to worry that they are sent from Katsuragi's side to ambush.

"There is a check-in point in the cave. I don't need to tell you. You should know this." Kamuro pointed to the cave in the distance. "As for the leader, I can tell you now, but I can't guarantee whether there will be any changes in the future. In addition, I can only tell you verbally and cannot provide any evidence."

"I don't need evidence, but Kamuro-san doesn't have to tell me yet."

"Huh?" Kamuro was puzzled. "Isn't that what you came here to listen to?"

"I want to guess who the leader of your class is." Chihaya smiled slightly, "First of all, it must not be the Sakayanagi faction but the Katsuragi faction, and he must be trustworthy enough."

Kamishiro remained silent, his expression not changing. His analysis was his analysis, but it had no practical meaning until he mentioned the person's name.

"Totsuka Yahiko." Chihaya gave a name with a smile.

Kamuro tried his best to control his facial expression, but the moment Chihaya reported Totsuka Yahiko's name, Kamuro's subconscious reaction could not be faked.

Chihaya's smile widened.

When Kamuro realized that her expression management had been exposed, she simply gave up. After all, her mission was to tell Chihaya about this matter, so she had no intention of resisting.

"What a surprise! How did you find out?" Hayasaka was amazed. "We don't seem to have much contact with Class A, right?"

"The secret cannot be revealed, but thank you for your hard work, Kamuro-san. If anything happens, I hope you will help me."

"Well, then I'll go back." Kamuro turned and left. She felt that her trip was meaningless.

At the same time, he complained in his heart why the leader chosen by Katsuragi was easily seen through by Chihaya.

After watching Kamuro leave, Chihaya put away her polite smile.

"How do you know the leader of Class A?" Hayasaka asked curiously.

"I don't know. I just put myself in Katsuragi's shoes and made a choice while testing Kamuro." Chihaya said calmly, "Even if I make a mistake, it won't have any impact. She will tell us the correct answer in the end anyway. And if I guess right, the Katsuragi faction will definitely be evaluated lower in the eyes of the Sakayanagi faction. Maybe this can also test the attitude of Class A. Maybe Class A will change its leader later."

"Why would you change the leader? Didn't Sakayanagi want you to help fight Katsuragi?"

"If Class A changes its leader, it will be a way to stop the loss. What if Sakayanagi has a backup plan? On the surface, he lets us suppress Katsuragi, but secretly he wants to pit us as well."

"...Is her mind so dirty?"

"Probably not, so don't worry about it." Chihaya walked away, "Let's go, let's go talk to Ryuen and see if he has anything good to trade with us."

----split line----

When two people are looking for each other, they will naturally meet.

"Gui'an Ryuen-san, you really did stay on the island."
