Hikigaya's voice suddenly grew cautious. "But since there's no one else here, it's okay to tell you in advance. Hirata and the others are already discussing using half of their points to purchase the daily necessities Class B needs. In return, Class B will later pay us a large sum of personal points of equal value."

"So... we can receive personal points when we return to school, so we don't have to eat the wild vegetable set meal all the time!"

"That's right, then we'll be able to see those nerdy students in Class A staring blankly!"

166

The crisis of Class 166A.

The conversation between Hikigaya and Sakura startled Totsuka and Katsuragi, who were hiding in the dark, and their hands and feet became cold.

Totsuka and Katsuragi looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes!

Katsuragi, who is known for his calmness and prudence, also has a dark look on his face at this moment!

If what Hikigaya said is true, and Class D uses its own points to buy daily necessities for Class B, that means Class B can retain a maximum of 300 dedicated points. If the extra points gained from occupying the stronghold during these 7 days are added to that, perhaps Class B can pass this special exam and get more than 400 class points at once!

This is not just catching up with Class A, but has already surpassed Class A's current points. Now the difference in class points between Class A and Class B is only 340 points!

"Damn it! Those guys from Class D!"

Totsuka's face was filled with rage. If he was just generally angry and resentful when Hikigaya mocked him before, then now he was truly furious. Class D had zero points, so they could carry out this 'zero-point tactic' without scruples. Class D benefited, but the ones who suffered were Class A!

"Keep calm! Especially at this moment, we must remain calm!"

Katsuragi stretched out his hand to suppress Totsuka who was trying to rush down, and scolded him harshly again. At the same time, Katsuragi was also saying to himself that he must not lose his composure first!

Then the two saw Hikigaya and Sakura get up and leave. It seemed that they were planning to return to Class D's camp and find the "leader" to occupy this stronghold.

Only after Hikigaya and Sakura completely disappeared into the forest did Totsuka angrily curse, "These guys in Class D are such idiots!"

With that, Totsuka prepared to descend the ladder to seize the stronghold of the seaside cottage.

"Wait, let's wait a little longer to avoid being tricked!"

Katsuragi quickly stopped Totsuka's behavior and continued to lurk in the shadows. Sure enough, Hikigaya and Sakura turned back again. Totsuka was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. However, they soon discovered that Hikigaya turned back to take the first aid kit away!

"Damn! These are our things! And he picked the most expensive supplies. This guy is such a thief!"

When Totsuka saw Hikigaya taking away the first aid kit, he felt his heart bleeding. In his opinion, this base was already in the pocket of their Class A. Now Hikigaya took away the first aid kit, which might be the most valuable one. Isn't this equivalent to cutting flesh from him!

The two of them then waited for another ten minutes, and only came out of the darkness after making sure that Hikigaya had gone far away.

Totsuka couldn't wait to go down the ladder. Katsuragi frowned, and his already serious face was now even more wrinkled like a big "川" character.

"Katsuragi-san, that's great! There really are quite a few supplies in here, including fishing rods, raincoats, drinking water, and even a medium-sized first aid kit!"

Totsuka was checking supplies in the house, looking very excited.

Upon hearing this, Katsuragi hurried in to check, and then roughly estimated that if the supplies here were used properly, they could save Class A a lot of points.

"Let's seize this stronghold right now, and the supplies inside will belong to Class A! Then notify the rest of the class to take the items away, so those scumbags from Class D won't keep eyeing them! Hahaha, I really want to see that dead-eyed guy's expression! The duck that was about to be mouthed just flew away, that expression is bound to be amazing!"

Totsuka laughed triumphantly.

As he spoke, Totsuka took out a green key card from his arms. Surprisingly, the name written on it was not Katsuragi's, but Totsuka Yahiko's name!

"Wait first!"

Katsuragi stopped Totsuka, seemingly still considering something.

Seeing Katsuragi still hesitant, Totsuka said anxiously, "Katsuragi-san, if those guys in Class D really transfer the supplies to Class B, then our position in Class A will be in jeopardy! So every point is very important to us now!"

"if……"

Seeing Katsuragi still struggling, Totsuka added, "I know what you're worried about, Katsuragi-san. You're worried that what that dead-eyed guy said is false. I also know you want to play it safe, but the current situation doesn't allow us to do that! And if we lose, those guys from the Sakayanagi faction will definitely take advantage of the situation and cause chaos. The advantage you've worked so hard to build up will be ruined!"

"Katsuragi-san, this opportunity cannot be missed! Now is the time to take a risk!"

Every word that Totsuka said almost touched Katsuragi's heart. His original style of doing things was steady and cautious. For Class A, which is now in the leading position, Katsuragi's style of doing things is obviously more suitable. As long as they don't make mistakes, they can always maintain the lead.

However, this special exam of the school brought about a big change. Previously, the exams were mainly based on academic ability, so the upper classes, especially Class A, always had a great advantage. But this special exam was the opposite. Instead, the two lower classes, Class C and Class D, were the ones that really benefited.

That's why they just 'eavesdropped' on Class D's strategy from Hikigaya. From Class D's perspective, this is indeed a strategy with very high returns, and it's something that only a lower-ranked class like Class D can do!

But from the perspective of Class A, this is a very bad thing.

So after learning about Class D's strategy, Katsuragi also considered whether to take the initiative and make this deal with Class D before Class B, but he immediately rejected it. Not to mention the problem of being asked to raise the price, it would be difficult for other students in Class A to accept the idea of being humble and going to Class D.

He is also a student of Class A, and he knows too well the pride of Class A students!

He also thought that this kind of transaction was a bit too risky and worried whether there might be any traps.

This has disrupted all the exam strategies that Katsuragi had previously formulated, so Katsuragi is now thinking about what to do next.

Should we continue to proceed steadily and ignore external disturbances, or be a little more radical and take more risks?

"Katsuragi-san, if we delay any longer, that dead-eyed guy will be back with the students from Class D!"

Totsuka urged anxiously, but Katsuragi remained silent. Seeing this, Totsuka didn't care anymore. After going out, he put the key card in his hand on the registration machine. Then the machine prompted that the base was successfully occupied by [Class A].

After seeing this scene, Katsuragi also sighed, tacitly agreeing with Totsuka's actions.

In reality, it was also the result of Katsuragi's deliberate indulgence, allowing Totsuka to 'help' him make the decision.

Afterwards, Katsuragi took out a communicator that had been prepared long ago and notified the students in his class to come to the beach hut to move the supplies in the house!

Meanwhile, in the distant forest, which neither Katsuragi nor Totsuka noticed, a boy with dead fish eyes hiding in the darkness saw everything that had just happened, nodded slightly, and turned away.

Chapter 167: I only think about myself.

"Hikigaya-kun, you, you're back?"

Somewhere in the forest, Sakura stood under a tree, feeling a little nervous and uneasy, her eyes looking in a certain direction from time to time. Not long after, when she saw the boy's figure appear, the girl couldn't help but jog over.

"I'm sorry, it must be very unsettling for you to be alone in the forest."

Hikigaya apologized to Sakura. In order to confirm whether the bait had been taken, Hikigaya had been hiding in the dark. Due to the natural barrier of the forest and the [Breath Blocking B] possessed by the dead-eyed boy, Katsuragi and Totsuka did not notice Hikigaya's existence from beginning to end.

"But I didn't expect to accidentally learn such important information about Class A."

Hikigaya, who was far away, naturally couldn't hear the conversation between Katsuragi and Totsuka, but he could clearly see the scene where Totsuka took the key card and placed it on the machine to operate it!

So, the 'leader' of Class A is Totsuka?

But it makes sense when you think about it. Katsuragi, such an obvious target, naturally would not choose to hold the key card himself, and the importance of the key card is self-evident, so he will definitely choose the person he trusts the most, and this person is undoubtedly Totsuka!

"So, what about that Kouenji-kun? Is it okay for him to be alone in the forest?"

Sakura asked worriedly.

"Glasses Girl, I think your worries are completely unnecessary."

At this time, Koenji's voice came from above, and then Hikigaya and Sakura saw a blond figure nimbly jumping down from the tree, even with enough strength to shake the golden hair.

Kouenji ignored the two stunned people, a confident and narcissistic smile always on his face.

"I saw a very interesting scene today. It's the only bit of fun left on this boring little island."

Kouenji pulled out a comb from somewhere and started to comb his flowing golden hair.

After hearing what Koenji said, Hikigaya realized that the other party was hiding in the dark just like him and saw the whole scene.

"In this class, there are only two people who interest me at all. Pochi Boy, you are one of them."

Kouenji said to himself, "I've completely seen through this boring exam. It's really just a boring game of playing house."

"Kouenji, are you planning on... withdrawing from the exam?"

Hikigaya immediately understood the meaning behind Kouenji's words.

"Bingo!"

Kouenji snapped his fingers when he heard that. Although he would lose 30 points for withdrawing from the exam, there was no trace of guilt on Kouenji's face, let alone the fear of being blamed by other classmates.

After saying that, Kouenji ignored Hikigaya and Sakura, threw his head back and laughed, and in the blink of an eye he disappeared from their sight.

"Koenji-kun is really hard to figure out."

Sakura sighed from the bottom of her heart. It was not so much that Kouenji was the one being excluded by everyone in the class, but rather that he was the one who excluded everyone else in the class.

"well enough."

Hikigaya looked at Koenji's departing back with a sneer on his face.

He originally thought that Koenji was a weirdo, but after this incident, Hikigaya had a rough understanding of what kind of person he was.

Honestly, is Koenji a 'weirdo'?

I guess many students would give a positive answer, but if you ask someone like Yang No, the answer would be different.

Ultimately, it is the class gap between the two that leads to different perceptions. It is no secret that Koenji comes from a chaebol family. To put it bluntly, Koenji's starting point is the end point that most students in this school may never reach in their lifetime.

Why do so many students flock to Gaodu Yucheng High School?

Of course, it is because you can freely choose your career direction after graduation. To a certain extent, this is a "shortcut" for the working class to move to the middle class, or even higher!

But this 'shortcut' is worthless to some people, like Haruno or Kouenji, who simply look down on the 'shortcut' that most students are rushing to take.

The reason why everyone thinks Koenji is a "weirdo" is because everyone's thinking is completely different.

From the beginning of the school year until now, Kouenji has clearly been indifferent to class matters, so why did he suddenly agree to Hikigaya's 'request' today?

It can't be because of Hikigaya's charm, right?

And judging from the frequency of changing girlfriends every week in Koenji, it doesn't seem like Nantong.

So if you think about it carefully, you will find that the essence is still a question of [interests].

Hikigaya's 10 personal points are worth exchanging for Koenji. After all, although Koenji can still be seen dating girls in restaurants in the past few months, the frequency is far less than the first month of school!

But if it were Class D, they wouldn't be able to offer any leverage to get Kouenji to act, and they'd even have to do 'free' labor? How could Kouenji, who came from a wealthy family, agree to such a thing?

The reason why Kouenji agreed to Hikigaya this time was somewhat due to luck, but a big reason was due to the poor environment of Class D.

Just like what Horikita Manabu said at the beginning, in this school, one must learn to deal with problems using the mindset of "gains and losses". Even Haruno is not a "good person" who will give alms and help others without asking for anything in return. The only difference between him and Koenji is that their goals are completely different.

Yang No's goal is interpersonal relationships and status, so she is willing to "selflessly" help other students.

Koenji is more realistic and practical, and he values his own interests more.

This does not mean that one is better than another, it's just that everyone has different goals, family backgrounds, and educational purposes. In essence, they are all the same kind of people.

It sounds very cruel to analyze the relationship between people in this way, but Hikigaya cannot deny that this is the simplest, most direct and clear method, because compared to other complicated things, interests are the purest and simplest!

That is what is called rationality!

This is also what Hikigaya learned from Haruno, Horikita Manabu, and those high-ranking people in Sobu Junior High School!

If you really go out into society, Yang Nai will be the kind of "good boss" who will ask you to work overtime voluntarily, without you even knowing that you are being pimped, and even require you to help her count the money after being sold.

Kouenji is likely to be the kind of "black-hearted, cold-blooded boss" who only cares about immediate interests and can abandon you at will after completely squeezing out your value.

Therefore, Hikigaya was not surprised that Koenji chose to withdraw from the exam. As long as he had enough personal points, he naturally didn't need to care about the exam anymore. After all, for someone like Koenji, the so-called "group" was nothing more than a hypocritical excuse to exploit others. In the end, didn't he only serve a few people?

In other words, from the very beginning, Kouenji had shown through his actions that he hated the "group". Even if he was not there, he estimated that Kouenji would choose to withdraw from the exam!

Because in the final analysis, he has been a selfish person from beginning to end.

Just like the first impression that Koenji gives people, he is narcissistic and only cares about himself!

Chapter 168: Do you have such awareness?

"Hikigaya-kun, you're back?"

As soon as Hikigaya and Sakura returned to the camp, the sharp-eyed Hirata couldn't wait to come forward to show his concern.

This is a base near the river, and now it has become the base for Class D to be stationed. What surprised Hikigaya was that this base was discovered by Ike, who said he had rich camping experience.

"I heard from Kouenji-san that you were injured. Is everything okay?"

Hirata was unexpectedly concerned about Hikigaya's physical condition, and was reluctantly relieved when he learned that it was only a minor strain.

"It would be troublesome if Hikigaya-san got hurt. We are currently discussing how Hikigaya-san, Horikita-san, and Kushida-san will represent Class D and conduct a specific transaction with Class B."

"trade?"

Hikigaya immediately understood that Hirata had agreed to his plan. He had thought that this matter might fall through, or that they might try to use some kind of democracy to collect everyone's opinions, and then it would turn into a meaningless discussion with everyone saying their own thing.
