Ichinose, you will regret it.

Chapter 71: Miss Horikita, please don't cry.

"Withdraw all 39 people from the exam..."

Kanzaki Ryuji frowned, "This kind of thing is impossible, right?"

"It's hard."

Uesugi Gen nodded in acknowledgment. "Even if we're lucky enough to force one class out of the competition, the remaining classes will definitely be wary of this."

"And if we do this too often, the risk of our class being exposed will greatly increase, and we might even lose our qualification to take the exam."

Everyone in the tent nodded silently. Although they were aware of the possibility of doing such a thing, they did not want to do it so drastically if possible.

"but,"

Uesugi Gen changed the subject, his expression growing increasingly excited. "During this special exam, one class, by some strange coincidence, had just withdrawn most of their students back to the ship."

"Kamiichisugi, what you mean is..."

Everyone immediately thought of Class C where Ryuuen was.

"That's right. Although we don't know how many people Ryuuen has left on the island, if we withdraw Kinda Satoru from the competition, our chances of guessing the other team's leader will increase significantly, right?"

As he spoke, Uesugi Gen touched his chin and said jokingly, "And Ryuen definitely didn't understand the existence of this unspoken rule, otherwise he wouldn't have foolishly walked into the muzzle of a gun."

"As for Ibuki Mio, who's still in Class D, if possible, try to withdraw her from the competition. If not, don't force her. She's unlikely to be the leader. After all, Ryuuen can't guarantee that Class D won't write Ibuki Mio's name down in a fit of rage if they find out who their class leader is."

"The current leader of Class C is most likely still that insane Ryuuen. Given his personality, it would be a foolproof choice for him to be the leader himself. He could also capture a few strongholds and earn some points."

After listening to Uesugi Gen's story, everyone roughly understood Uesugi Gen's plan - to keep the one he originally planned to guess as the one with the greatest possibility of being the leader, and then withdraw the other more suspicious ones from the competition, artificially increasing the possibility of his guessing the leader.

"Class A..."

When he thought of Class A, Uesugi Gen couldn't help but laugh.

Class A of the first grade of Gaoyu, the class with the highest per capita quality, actually took the exam so honestly and refused to communicate with other classes.

Without communication, there will naturally be no valuable information. In Uesugi Gen's opinion, Class A is the class least likely to think of replacing the leader. In this case, all he has to do is lock on to the original leader.

Of course, Class A is also quite difficult to deal with. With more than 150 supply points, they can live a comfortable life even without collecting water and food. At the same time, the students in Class A do not move around everywhere, making it difficult to find the opportunity to attack them.

"Class A, don't worry about it for now. I have a way to deal with their class leader."

As soon as Uesugi Gen said this, the smart people present immediately understood what he meant.

"Speaking of which..."

Kanzaki Ryuji asked curiously, "You haven't told us what you did last night? Was it just this?"

Ok?

Ichinose instantly became alert and held Uesugi Gen's hand with his backhand.

Kanzaki, you bastard, stop bringing up things that are not related to the topic. I spent the whole night coaxing her into giving up!

Uesugi Gen howled in his heart.

"Ahem, um~ Not bad! I just went to get information about the leader of Class A."

Uesugi Gen admitted the matter without blushing or beating his heart.

Then he immediately turned the topic back to the special exam.

"As for Class D..."

Uesugi Gen finally bared his fangs at this point, and shouted, "From the very beginning, my real goal has been Class D."

As soon as Uesugi Gen said this, everyone present fell into deep thought again. Wasn't it unrealistic to withdraw 39 people at once?

As if he had guessed what everyone was thinking, Uesugi Gen chuckled and corrected them.

"It's not 39 people, it's just one person."

What does that mean? Why is it only necessary for one person to withdraw?

"Kanzaki, calculate how many points Class D has spent so far."

Before everyone in Class B could figure it out, Uesugi Gen called his own exclusive universal reading machine.

"Toilets, tents, water, food..."

Kanzaki Ryuji calculated silently in his mind and finally came to his own conclusion, "There are probably only about seventy points left at most..."

On the first day, even if they bought the cheapest water and food, the cost would be 10 points. In the next few days, they did not buy water, drank river water, and only bought food, which cost 7 points per meal. So far, 7 meals cost 49 points.

Add the 20 points for the toilet tent, and the total is 79, leaving 71 points.

"No, there are 41 points left. Kouenji from Class D ran back to the ship on the first day."

Uesugi Gen said with some gloating.

"I don't know if the people in Class D are greedy for points, or if they're confident they can find enough food in the next few days, so they didn't exchange the remaining points for food all at once..."

Before Uesugi Gen was halfway through his speech, everyone had already guessed what he was trying to do.

If 41 points are deducted from the 30 points of supplies, there will only be 11 points left. With this number of points, can the people in Class D last the remaining two days?

"So you've been waiting these past few days, waiting for this, waiting for Class D to use up all their points."

Shibata Sa suddenly realized.

"I said at the beginning that supplies are the true foundation of the uninhabited island exam. Without supplies, it would be impossible for the students to carry out this exam on their own."

"but,"

Uesugi Gen said indifferently, "It doesn't really matter whether one or two people withdraw. As long as these two people's withdrawals happen in the same incident and are done covertly enough, I'm afraid even Class D themselves will think it was an accident."

"Let's take a step back and say, we don't even need to withdraw the students from Class D. We can just deduct their points. With those students in Class D, it would be easy to trick them into deducting points."

"By the time……"

Uesugi Gen paused, then smiled, as if he was looking forward to a good show. "Class D, who were originally united by external enemies, will do what if they find out that there is no hope for them to achieve good results? Will they try their best to complete this special exam and lay a solid foundation for the next uninhabited island exam?"

"Do not make jokes."

Uesugi Gen began to question himself, "With the ability of Class D, seeing how miserable they are, and seeing the people in Class C having a happy vacation on the boat, the students in Class D, who have no sense of cohesion, will simply abandon the class and follow the example of the students in Class C and withdraw from the exam."

"By then, the leader of Class D will definitely be among the remaining people. We can slowly look for him."

After saying that, Uesugi Gen turned his head and looked in the direction of Class D's camp. His gaze seemed to pass through the tent and reach directly at Horikita Suzune.

so……

This is an exam that tests the class's ability to unite. A class that cannot unite... has no hope of winning from the beginning.

Miss Horikita, please don't cry!

Chapter 72 Class D Collapse Plan, Start!

Looking at the sky that was gradually dyed red by the setting sun, Horikita Suzune felt an ominous premonition in her heart for some reason.

This special test of survival on an uninhabited island will be over in two days, but he still has no idea about the leaders of other classes.

Not only that, Class B, which he cared about the most, was not taking any action at the moment.

Although Horikita Suzune always said that Uesugi Gen deceived her, her intuition told her that what Uesugi Gen said that day must not be groundless.

He was just waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to kill the game with one move.

What exactly will it be...

The more I think about it, the stronger this ominous premonition becomes, like a heavy footstep on a dark rainy night, approaching from afar until it arrives in front of your tent...

This strong feeling of uneasiness prompted her to review once again everything that had happened since the special exam began.

Uesugi Gen... 150 supplies...

Disagree...class internal strife...

Temporary lull...Supplies delivered...Kouenji withdraws...

Class C revels... points exhausted... withdraw from the competition...

All these clues emerged one by one in Horikita Suzune's mind like intertwined lines.

150 points of supplies... Class internal strife... Kouenji withdraws... Points exhausted... Withdrawal from the competition...

No! That's not right!

Horikita Suzune shook her head, trying to sort out the clues again.

150 points of supplies... Kouenji withdraws...? ...Points exhausted...Class internal strife...Withdrawal from the competition...

In an instant, Horikita Suzune suddenly opened her eyes and her pupils contracted violently.

So that's how it is. The reason they haven't taken any action yet is because they are waiting for our class to use up all the points?

No wonder that guy said that.

"Ms. Horikita, if I manage to wipe out your Class D this time, please don't cry."

Did that "kill" actually mean literally? Horikita Suzune thought, gritting her teeth.

She immediately stood up and carefully scanned the D-class camp, counting the number of people in the camp, while shouting loudly to all the D-class students present.

"Call back the students who are still outside immediately."

The students in Class D did not obey Horikita Suzune's orders immediately, but instead raised questions.

"What do you want to do? I'm in a hurry to take a shower. I've been exercising all day and I'm all sticky and uncomfortable."

The one who spoke was a hot girl among the girls, Maya Sato.

"There's no time to explain. Call the others back."

Horikita Suzune ignored Sato Maya's words and continued talking to the others.

At this time, the good guy Hirata Yosuke from Class D came out to smooth things over and said, "Um, Horikita-san, can you tell me why you are doing this? We are all very tired after a busy day."

"..."

Looking at the unmoved members of Class D, a feeling of powerlessness arose in his heart. Why did that guy Uesugi Gen always have a large group of people accompanying him even when he was fooling around? Wasn't it possible for him to let them move even a little?

Horikita Suzune, who understood the situation clearly, knew that they would not take any concrete action unless she explained the reason clearly, so she turned around and ran, talking as she ran.

"With our class's current points, if just one more person gets into trouble, the remaining points won't be enough for us to survive for the next two days. As long as the other classes target this point and attack us, we're bound to lose!"

Hirata Yosuke was not a fool. He quickly figured out everything. His face changed immediately. He looked in the direction where the boys from Class D were going out and ran away.

"Horikita-san, where are you going?"

The accomplice lady gave a fake, concerned greeting.

Horikita Suzune was no longer in the mood to answer Kushida Kikyo. She wanted to go find Chabashira Sae immediately and exchange all the remaining points for food!

-

"Chabashira... Sensei, please... exchange all of our class's remaining points... for food..."

At the teachers' camp, Horikita Suzune held her knees with her hands, breathing heavily, and immediately expressed her request when she saw Chabashi Sae.

"Ah, yes."

Chabashi Sae readily agreed.

But before Horikita Suzune could breathe a sigh of relief, Chabashi Sae's words made her fall into the abyss.

"But...it's only enough for one meal."

The flat voice echoed mercilessly in Horikita Suzune's ears.

At this moment, Chabashi Sae's face showed no emotion, as if the grades of his class were just an ordinary little matter.

"Twenty minutes ago, Haruki Yamauchi from your class accidentally ate poisonous berries and has been sent back to the ship."

Teacher Hoshinomiya came out of the tent and pronounced judgment on Horikita Suzune with a smile.

Upon hearing this result, Horikita Suzune's mind went blank and she fell down on the beach in a duck-like sitting position.

Lost.

The first special exam... I failed miserably at his hands.
