Ichinose, you will regret it.

That guy... is really smart. I couldn't possibly come up with such a bold plan.

Horikita Suzune turned her head and stared blankly in the direction of Class B's camp.

He must have decided to do this since the first day of the exam, otherwise he wouldn't have said that to remind me.

However, this plan was not without flaws. In the process of implementing the plan, he had to make sure not to kill all the people at once, otherwise he would have no leader to guess. At the same time, he had to make sure only one person was left, so that he could guess the leader with 100% certainty.

So, there are only me and Hirata left, and Ayanokouji who ran off to who knows where?

Horikita Suzune reorganized her logic.

three people.

I, Hirata are in the light, and Ayanokouji is in the dark...

The three of them reached a balance with each other.

First of all, it is impossible for Uesugi Gen to withdraw himself and Hirata from the competition at the same time, otherwise from his perspective, he would have no leader to guess.

At the same time, if Uesugi Gen withdraws himself from the competition, he will transfer the leader to Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, so he will lose 50 points for guessing the wrong leader.

If the person he chose to withdraw from the competition was Hirata, he would wait for the opportunity to get out of Uesugi Gen's sight and wait until the last moment of the exam to withdraw from the competition. In this way, he would still be deducted 50 points for guessing the wrong leader.

Obviously... it was all planned...

Horikita Suzune bit her lip, lay down on her side, and casually hugged her luggage.

As a result... that guy didn't withdraw me from the competition at the last moment. Instead, he ran over to me with a smile and said something like, "We are friends, right? Do you want to come and live with us?"

Friend? Friend, you big-headed ghost!

Without saying a word, he asked the people in our class to withdraw from the competition. As a result, when it came to the last step, I didn’t even try when it was my turn. What’s going on?

We are friends, yet you lie to me every day? Not a single word of truth comes out of your mouth!

At this time, the calm voice sounded again.

[The leader of Class C is most likely Ryuen Sho, but I'm not sure if he'll come up with anything based on our class's situation. To avoid such an unexpected situation, it's better not to write about Class C.]

"As for Class A's leader, it's that Totsuka Yahiko. Their class was incredibly unlucky, as I happened to spot them. And given Katsuragi's style, it's unlikely they'll ever change their leader."

"Also, the information that you are the leader of our class has already been leaked through that Ibuki Mio. The final answer will be revealed tomorrow."

So, there is nothing left for me to do now?

Horikita Suzune turned over and looked at the pitch-black tent roof.

He was so arrogant at the beginning, and he even reminded himself to bring the medicine with him. But in the end, he was defeated miserably in front of him, admitted defeat and ran back to the boat.

Can I...really defeat him and get promoted to Class A?

Horikita Suzune gave a wry smile.

This is the mean voice of Uesugi Gen. in his mind.

[Ms. Horikita, please don't cry if you lose.]

You're the one crying! Horikita Suzune stiffened her fists.

Decided!

Horikita Suzune sat up.

At least beat that guy once and give him a punch.

76

Chapter 76 Let’s go, I’ll take you to win this exam!

"Uesugi-kun, have you made up your mind? Leaders of the other classes, the exam is less than an hour away."

Ichinose, who was sitting next to him, saw Uesugi Gen still fishing leisurely and couldn't help but remind him.

"This..."

Uesugi scratched his head and smiled sheepishly at the class, "I have absolutely no idea."

"..."

All the students in Class B except Ichinose: "You idiot, are you kidding me? Go to hell!"

"Mom, please be patient, please be patient."

Uesugi Gen raised his hand, retracted his smile, and revealed a confident look, "Because I'm still waiting for someone to tell me."

"Oh, is the teacher here?"

Uesugi Gen waved towards Hoshinomiya.

"Gen-chan, how about it, have you decided who to write about?"

Mr. Hoshinomiya handed the form for filling out the other class leaders to Gen Uesugi.

"Hmm~ This~"

Uesugi Gen turned around and asked, "How much time is left until the end of the exam?"

"Less than 30 minutes."

"In that case..."

Uesugi Gen stood up and faced the class, "Come on, I'll take you to win this exam!"

Uesugi Gen led everyone in Class B towards the top of the mountain.

"I remember this is Class A's area of activity. Could he be telling us the information about their class leader?"

Shibata Sa, who was walking behind, muttered.

"That's almost it."

Uesugi Gen led everyone in Class B to the highest peak of the entire uninhabited island. Standing here, they could overlook the entire uninhabited island.

"Could there be an immortal who will tell me—"

Shibata Sa was halfway through his words when he suddenly looked somewhere, his eyes slowly widened, and a smile slowly appeared on his face.

"Hey! Look, isn't that—"

"Haha, so this is possible?"

“It turns out that someone actually comes to tell us the answers to the exam!”

……

The students in Class B, who were a little confused just now, are now almost shouting with excitement.

"From the very beginning, there was a blind spot on this island that no one noticed."

Uesugi Gen smiled and raised his hands, shouting, "Let's all call out his name together!!"

Everyone in Class B made a trumpet shape with their hands and shouted in unison.

"Kanzaki!!!"

On a giant cruise ship at least several hundred meters away from the uninhabited island, Ryuji Kanzaki was waving at this side with a telescope.

"I see. If we can see what's happening on the island from the boat, then the island should also be able to see what's happening on the boat."

Ichinose muttered to himself.

"Yes, that's why I said that only he can do this."

As long as you can see people, there are many ways to communicate information, but whether the information can be conveyed accurately is another challenge.

At this time, Uesugi Gen also took out the high-precision telescope he had specially exchanged and looked at Kanzaki Ryuji.

"Come on, Kanzaki, tell me the answer to this special exam!"

Following the secret code agreed upon by the two, Uesugi Gen gradually translated what Kanzaki Ryuji wanted to express.

"Class A, 0 people have returned to the cruise ship, 39 people are on the island. The original leader is Totsuka Yahiko. There is no leader replacement. The current leader is Totsuka Yahiko."

"Class C, 39 people have returned to the cruise ship, 1 person is on the island. The original leader was Ryuen Sho, but there is a leader replacement. The current leader is Ibuki Mio."

"Class D, 38 people have returned to the cruise ship, 2 people are on the island. The original leader, Horikita Suzune, has been confirmed to have returned to the cruise ship. There is a possibility of a replacement leader. The current leader is either Ayanokouji Kiyotaka or Hirata Yosuke."

"Has Miss Horikita returned to the ship?"

Uesugi Gen whistled loudly, "Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, you are really capable."

I feel a little bit wronged. If I hadn't promised your brother to take care of you, I would have withdrawn you and Hirata from the competition yesterday.

Well, consider it a reward for your hard work!

Seeing this scene, everyone in Class B finally understood the full picture of Uesugi Gen's plan. Everything he did was to get as many people back on the ship as possible. Whether the leader was replaced or whether the leader was hiding on the island could be confirmed by whether the original leader returned to the ship. In the end, as long as one person was sent back to the ship, it would be enough for both parties to exchange information.

This method will never make you guess the wrong leader!

Gen Uesugi casually wrote the name of the AC class leader on the form, raised his hands and spoke loudly.

"This victory belongs to our Class B!"

"Oh!!!"

On the way down the mountain, Ichinose, still a little confused, asked Uesugi Gen a question.

"Hey, Uesugi-kun, Kanzaki-san only returned to the cruise ship yesterday, right? How did he manage to find all his classmates in such a short time?"

Uesugi Gen put his hands on the back of his head and said, "Because of the 300 million."

"300w?"

"Yes, didn't I tell you that I spent all the three million? Actually, I had it on the ship from the beginning. Kanzaki only needs to take my password and find someone to match the password, and then he can take out the three million. Three million, one night is enough time for Kanzaki to know the list of everyone who has returned to the ship."

"I see……"

Ichinose suddenly realized.

Is this time finally here...?

As Uesugi Gen intentionally slowed down his pace, the two of them soon fell behind the team.

The fragrance of Ichinose's hair mixed with the aroma of soil after rain kept entering Uesugi Gen's nose.

Uesugi Gen slowly stretched out a hand, held Ichinose's tender little hand, looked into the distance, and spoke softly.

"Hey, Fanbo..."

Ichinose's heart skipped a beat and his palms began to sweat.

This is the first time he called me by this name...

"Is there something wrong, Gen-kun..."

Ichinose also responded in the same way.

"I've said it before, leave this exam to me. I'll prove to you that I can achieve the greatest victory with the smallest loss."

Uesugi Gen grabbed Ichinose's shoulders with both hands.

"I know you don't like doing things that require others to sacrifice, Fanbo. Just let me do it. Just stay behind me and help me take care of everything in the class. I won't let you go through that kind of pain again."

"Yuan Jun..."

A thin mist formed in Ichinose's eyes.

"So, Fanbo..."

Uesugi Gen looked at Ichinose affectionately and finally revealed his long-planned purpose.

"Please let me be the monitor of Class B!!!"

"Ah~"

Ichinose's expression froze, then she slowly came to her senses, her signature sweet smile appearing on her face.

"No, Uesugi-kun, because Uesugi-kun is too radical."

After saying that, without listening to Uesugi Gen's response, she raised her long hair and walked to the front of the team.

"Ah~"

Uesugi Gen looked at Ichinose's back.

Why is this different from the plot I imagined?
