Zongman: I can modify the status bar

"Damn it! Isn't that totally not enough?" Chi felt a little discouraged when she saw the few wild fruits that Sudo Ken and his group had found. If these were all they had, then even dinner would require extra points to fill their stomachs, not to mention what would happen next. Besides, the boys on their side had big appetites.

"Even so, at least give us some, at least enough to get us through tonight's meal, even if it's just vegetables. You can't be so selfish. Think about the class, too. The points we save will go toward everyone's monthly allowance!" Yukimura Teruhiko was clearly a practical man, always able to act from a practical perspective. He just seemed to lack the art of speaking.

"Selfish? For the sake of the class? How did these words come out of your mouth! We have already made concessions at noon, why are you still not satisfied! Isn't it your own problem that you can't find food at night? Are you blaming us now? It's really funny." Shinohara Satsuki was still talking, and she was completely arguing with the boys in the class.

Hirata Yosuke lowered his head. This kind of meaningless conflict was what he least wanted to see. One of the reasons why Hirata Yosuke was so influential in the class was that he never lost his temper. How could he, who had always been sunny and cheerful, not be unpopular? But in the current situation, even Hirata Yosuke seemed to be a little bit overwhelmed...

Just as Hirata Yosuke was about to explode, a hand suddenly came up to his shoulder. It was Ayanokouji Kiyotaka. Looking at the other person's expressionless face, Hirata Yosuke finally calmed down a little.

"Pa, pa, pa." At this time, Kikyo Kushida clapped her hands to attract everyone's attention and came to the middle of the crowd.

"I understand everyone's feelings, but before that, shouldn't we first figure out where these things come from? Otherwise, it seems meaningless to continue arguing!" Kushida Kikyo finally took control of the situation, and everyone calmed down.

"Yoshi! Then let Karuizawa Megumi tell us about the sources of these supplies!"

Everyone's eyes turned to Karuizawa Megumi.

Karuizawa Megumi took a deep breath and took a step forward. "These were entrusted to me by Haruki from Class B, so they can't be considered class property. I can choose who to give these supplies to. This is the right of Haruki's girlfriend!"

……

Chapter 144: Class D is completely divided

"Um...what does entrusted custody mean? Can you explain it to me?" The people in Class D were stunned when they heard Karuizawa Megumi's announcement. Hirata Yosuke also asked with an expression of confusion.

"The right to use these things now belongs to me, but the ownership is still with Haruki. I have the final say on who to give them to and who not to give them to. Do you understand now?" Although no one can shake Karuizawa Megumi's position in the girls' group, this is the first time she has declared her hegemony in front of the entire class. When she said this, her fists were clenched tightly, but her voice did not tremble or compromise at all.

"Okay, I understand." Hirata Yosuke nodded and turned to the other side. "In this case, we have time to explore new places. As you all saw when the cruise ship circled the island, the island is actually quite large. We still have a lot of places to explore. Today, everyone also picked some wild fruits. Although the quantity is not large, I don't mind if we spend a little more or just leave it as it is."

After saying this, Hirata Yosuke and Ayanokouji Kiyotaka returned to the place where they had held their small meeting just now. Horikita Suzune was still sitting there, not knowing what she was thinking about. Maybe she was not feeling well. Ayanokouji Kiyotaka and Hirata Yosuke certainly didn't know that Horikita Suzune had been in a blood rage for the past two days. Although she was taken by Haruki to do corresponding maintenance and treatment on the cruise ship, in such a relatively harsh environment, even if her physical condition was normal, she would probably not get much better after more than a day.

Hirata Yosuke sat on the stone without saying a word, with his head lowered and his lips pursed, his face full of unwillingness.

Horikita Suzune was wearing a coat and reading a book with her arms folded.

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka looked here and there. He had never expected that the two class leaders would become like this in just one day. They were silent. Did he need to speak? Was it really to the point where he was forced to take action?

"Horikita-san, these are for you." Just as Ayanokouji Kiyotaka was hesitating whether to break the ice, Shinohara Satsuki came over with two leaves of fruit in her arms, "And Hirata-kun, these are for you."

"Huh? What are you doing..." Hirata Yosuke took the fruit with a confused look on his face.

"Hey, we all know that Hirata-kun is actually a good person. He's not the same as those guys who only think about themselves. This is of course dinner. If it's not enough, we'll have grilled fish or something later. Of course, you're the only one among the boys who has the right to go there."

"Thank you." Hirata Yosuke smiled bitterly. There was nothing he could do about it. Although in the eyes of some boys he was no different from a traitor, most people with a little bit of common sense would understand his situation. He played a very important role as a buffer zone between boys and girls. If it weren't for him...

"You're welcome. If there's nothing else, I'll go back and prepare dinner." Shinohara Satsuki put down her things, informed them, and returned to the girls.

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka watched the girls busily preparing dinner, which was in stark contrast to the boys on the other side. It seemed that the boys and girls in Class D had completely split apart. They had already quarreled over some things yesterday, and today they were even more separated into two sides.

Also, the opening remarks he had just come up with with great difficulty were interrupted by Shinohara Satsuki and then forgotten. Ayanokouji Kiyotaka is not the type who is good at speaking. Even if he has good ideas in his mind, if there is a problem with the expression, it will make a mess, such as his self-introduction at the beginning of the school year.

"Ayanokōji? Here, you can have this. I don't have much of an appetite." Hirata Yosuke handed the fruit he had just received to Ayanokōji Kiyotaka.

"Thank you." Ayanokouji Kiyotaka took it and thanked him. He had no reason to refuse. It was already difficult, and he had done too much exercise today. However, looking at Hirata Yosuke's listless appearance, if he continued like this, he would probably collapse soon.

I don’t know how long it took, but the sky began to darken.

"What do you two think?" There was only the sound of a book slamming shut, and it was Horikita Suzune who broke the ice first.

She had thought the two would express their opinions, or ask if she had any ideas, but after such a long time, and it was too dark to read, no one spoke. Horikita Suzune also had many questions, because Haruki had never mentioned these to her. She didn't even know that Haruki had hidden so much food. When she and Ayanokouji Kiyotaka went there, they only saw some basic facilities in the tent and the sleeping luggage, but they didn't know anything else.

All Haruki had told her was "Take Class D to the best of your ability to complete the exams and fulfill your responsibilities as a leader..." She really didn't know anything else.

She didn't even understand why almost all the members of Class B quit.

"Well, anyway, the food problem of the class has been solved. Although the solution may be... but it has relieved a lot of pressure for us. What do you think, Ayanokouji?" Hirata Yosuke adjusted his mentality and his expression looked much better.

"Well, I have a similar opinion. On the surface, it did only help the girls' group, but in the end it helped our entire class. At least in the short term, we don't have to worry about the material problems of the girls' group, and even if the remaining boys need to spend some money, it will reduce a lot of expenses." Ayanokouji Kiyotaka still spoke in a formulaic manner, but there was really nothing wrong with what he said.

As of now, Haruki's material support has indeed helped Class D temporarily overcome the difficulties, but you can't delve into why Class D is in trouble...

"Ha..." Horikita Suzune was speechless looking at the two people in front of her. She was only sitting here discussing with these two relatively reliable guys in order to lead the class to complete the exam as much as possible as Haruki said. Otherwise, she would have been idle or gone to find Haruki. As a result, this guy didn't say a single key word, which made people angry just by looking at him.

"Haven't you ever thought about where all the food for Haruki comes from? And why are all those strongholds you mentioned before occupied by Class B? And what about the summary of our gains from scouting other classes this morning? There are still so many things to do, how come one or two of you are in this state?" Horikita Suzune's words were sharp, and she was about to start scolding, but the education she received did not allow her to do so.

"Well, that's true. Then you can first tell us about the situation of the other three classes. This will also help with the subsequent progress." Hirata Yosuke said gently.

……

Chapter 145 We Have Spies Here Too

"Hmm?" Ayanokouji Kiyotaka saw Horikita Suzune staring at him, and an inexplicable sense of oppression made it difficult for him to breathe. He had just said that he wanted to summarize the situation of investigating other classes, but now she was staring at him for what.

"Oh, okay, then let me tell you about the situation in other classes." Ayanokouji Kiyotaka was helpless. He had originally wanted to slack off. It was already very hard for him to sit here with Hirata Yosuke and the others, and now he was asked to work hard.

"Thank you for your hard work, Ayanokouji-kun." Hirata Yosuke said to Ayanokouji with a smile.

"Hmm!" Ayanokouji Kiyotaka nodded. "Then let's introduce them in the order of our investigation. First up is Class C. They seem to have taken a different approach. Simply put, they fully utilized the theme of this survival test - freedom. So on the first day, they basically used up all their points on barbecues and fun at the beach. If our guess is correct, everyone will voluntarily withdraw when their supplies are exhausted. Anyway, their points have been used up, there's nothing to deduct, and it won't affect the rest of the day. That's about it."

Surprisingly, Hirata Yosuke was not as shocked as Horikita Suzune at that time. Perhaps this was because he was a person who had seen many storms.

"I see. This is indeed a feasible plan. The whole class can enjoy the beach party first, and then continue their vacation life back on the cruise ship. This will also help boost the morale of the class. Very impressive!" Hirata Yosuke not only quickly accepted this situation, but also figured out the follow-up of Class C. It seems that he had indeed considered the class-related matters that Ayanokouji Kiyotaka had talked to him about before, otherwise he would not have accepted the status quo so calmly.

"Hey! Aren't you shocked at all? That's 300 points, and they were all spent in an instant. If they are crazy, are you crazy too?" Horikita Suzune seemed very unhappy with Hirata Yosuke's reaction, so her words were a little harsh.

"A little bit, but it's okay. As Ayanokouji said, the core of this survival test is freedom. As long as it's within the rules, there's no problem. Class C's operation is also a correct answer. I also admire the leader of Class C for having such courage and ability to lead the entire class..."

Hirata Yosuke's eyes flickered as he subconsciously glanced at Ibuki Mio, who was in the girls' camp. "But being able to convince the majority of the students is impressive, and to actually put such a bold plan into practice. In comparison, our situation is much more difficult."

Horikita Suzune and Ayanokouji Kiyotaka both understood the hidden meaning behind Hirata Yosuke's words. The conflict just now could perhaps be blamed on Haruki's meddling, but the contradiction buried between boys and girls had already become a powder keg that would explode sooner or later even if no one touched the fuse.

"I have a general understanding of the situation, which means we don't have to worry about Class C for the time being. They are just here to play and will probably leave soon. Compared with Class C, I am more interested in Class B. They have occupied so many strongholds, have so much material, and have provided us with so much funding. Ayanokouji-kun, are you ready to continue?" Hirata Yosuke narrowed his eyes and looked at Ayanokouji Kiyotaka.

"Well, to make a long story short, everyone in Class B except Haruki has withdrawn." Ayanokouji Kiyotaka didn't want to waste time talking, there was no point in saying more, so he just gave Hirata Yosuke a blow.

Hirata Yosuke narrowed his eyes and was stunned. "Um, can you say that again?"

"All the members of Class B have withdrawn, and only Haruki is left." Ayanokouji Kiyotaka seemed to have already anticipated Hirata Yosuke's reaction. Seeing that the other party was so shocked, he was actually a little proud.

"Uh... okay, I understand. Can you tell me in detail what happened?" Hirata Yosuke tried to accept.

"Well, there was another thing before that. Haruki is the leader of Class B, so strictly speaking, Class B is not out." Ayanokouji Kiyotaka added expressionlessly.

"Well, I roughly guessed it. When the whole class quit, there was still one person left. That Haruki is very likely the [leader]. Maybe the school has made similar assumptions or regulations. It may not be unprecedented to want to take a loophole-taking approach like Class C to end the survival test. But the price is the strange unspoken rule that the class [leader] cannot quit..." Hirata Yosuke was actually thinking about this aspect. Ayanokouji Kiyotaka was a little overwhelmed. He had never thought of this.

"Well, to put it simply, Class B had a conflict over some things and ended up parting ways on bad terms. As for the reason for this conflict." Ayanokouji Kiyotaka took a deep breath.

"It's a spy!"

"Spy? What does that mean? Is there a traitor inside Class B?" Hirata Yosuke was no longer sleepy and immediately became excited. He could not imagine that Class B, which had always been harmonious and civilized, would have a traitor who had messed up the entire class.

"Don't be impatient, just listen to me slowly." Ayanokouji Kiyotaka comforted Hirata Yosuke, "I'll be frank, we actually have spies like this here..."

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka lowered his voice and then quietly pointed at the girls' camp. Although it was just a rough direction, Hirata Yosuke was not stupid and immediately understood what Ayanokouji meant. Horikita Suzune was watching coldly on the side. These speculations were discussed by her and Ayanokouji Kiyotaka on the way. If only one person were to expose it or do something extreme, it might end up like Class B. The situation in the afternoon would be a bit dangerous. Fortunately, everyone in Class D still wanted to pass the exam and get some points. Otherwise, after Koenji withdrew from the exam without permission, those with ulterior motives would definitely not be content, and they would not even quarrel over whether to spend points to solve the problem of food. So it seems that the situation in Class D is not that bad.

"You mean the spy is from Class C, right?" Hirata Yosuke also lowered his voice and glanced at Ibuki Mio in the corner.

"Although this was all information provided to us by Haruki from Class B, they showed us the special key card with their name engraved on it, and also said that Class C had already known this information. Therefore, I personally think that the idea that Class C had planted spies in other classes is very credible."

Hirata Yosuke nodded, "Indeed, at least if we take extra precautions, it should be fine. Later, Horikita-san can go and remind the girls to pay more attention to Ibuki Mio's movements."

"Okay, I understand." Horikita Suzune was surprisingly honest.

……

Chapter 146: Transaction Advance

"Okay, in that case, we should probably reassess Class C's intentions. We shouldn't rush to consider Class B's intentions, or more directly, Haruki's. After all, given the current situation, he's definitely helping us. Perhaps the cooperative relationship previously established between Classes B and D is still continuing with him. If he needs our help, we can help him within our capabilities."

Hirata Yosuke slowly got into the state, and the negative emotions caused by the class division just now were completely gone. Horikita Suzune also nodded at his analysis.

"If possible, I hope you two can go out for some reconnaissance tomorrow, especially Class C. According to your calculations, they have used all their points for fun, so they won't be able to last long. Then there's Haruki from Class B. If it's convenient, you can ask him what he thinks." Hirata Yosuke took a deep breath. Perhaps because he was thinking intensely, his forehead was already covered with sweat.

"Then it's about Class A. Please help me..."

"As for Class A, their camp is set up in a cave, and the entrance to the cave is covered with a curtain made of opaque material. You can't see what's going on inside from the outside. In short, it's very suspicious." Ayanokouji Kiyotaka didn't know what tricks Class A was playing, so he could only explain it this way.

"Okay, it seems that Class A has some serious problems. However, the other party hasn't done anything out of line for the time being, so it's better for us not to make enemies for now." Hirata Yosuke felt that his brain was not enough. As for why several strongholds were occupied by Class B in succession, he no longer had time to think about it, and the meeting ended.

Next is dinner time and evening roll call.

As expected, the frugal class in Class D didn't spend any extra points on food, relying instead on the wild fruits that Sudo's group had picked that afternoon and some leftover rations. Even when things were tough, they felt less miserable once they realized they could earn a lot more points each month.

Earlier.

Class C camp.

sandy beach.

"Are you saying that everyone in Class B has withdrawn except for the leader Haruki?" Ryuuen's sharp eyes were like a poisonous snake, stabbing fiercely at Kinda Satoru who had completed his spy mission.

"Yes, these are the photos I took at this time." Kinda Satoru handed the digital camera to Ryuen who was lying on the bench, and then stood beside him respectfully.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect to get it so quickly. Well done!" Ryuuen laughed heartily, his eyes still sharp, as if he couldn't believe it. After all, it was too easy. It had only been a day, and Class B, always known for their unity, had been wiped out so easily. He was also shocked. But the photo of the special key card engraved with Haruki's name was right in front of him, and no matter how suspicious Ryuuen was, he had no reason to deny it.

"Well, Ryuen-san, if possible, I think you should trade with Class A as soon as possible. Otherwise, it won't be long before this news becomes known to everyone, and then..."

Before Kinda Satoru could finish his words, Ryuen suddenly jumped down from the bench, grabbed Kinda Satoru by the collar, and glared at him fiercely, "Are you telling me how to do things? I'm not so incompetent that I need someone to direct my actions. Know your place!"

"I... I know." Kinda Satoru was so frightened by the sudden questioning that he broke out in a cold sweat. Ryuen's status in the class was absolute hegemony, and almost no one was not afraid of him. What was even more terrifying was the black bodyguard beside him. Not to mention the big burly guy, it would not be a funny thing to be drunk by this guy if they really fought.

"Hmph!" As Ryuuen let go, Kinda Satoru fell to the ground, breathing in the fresh air in big gulps. He felt like he was suffocating just now.

"Ishizaki!" Ryuuen shouted while lying on a chair, and saw a boy of medium build with a silly look on his face running towards him.

"Long Yuan-san, are you looking for me?"

"Go, take this..." Long Yuan said halfway and thought for a while, "Forget it, I'll go myself, you come with me."

"Yes!" Ishizaki agreed nervously.

"As for you, just move around freely. You shouldn't be leaving for long." Ryuuen glanced at Kinda Satoru who was sitting on the ground, then took Ishizaki back to the tent to change clothes. After all, it would be inappropriate to go meet a partner in just shorts.

Kinda Satoru brushed off the sand on his body and then stepped aside. Under normal circumstances, he would have joined his classmates who were having fun, but he would not do that now because he was hypnotized by Haruki.

What he said just now was just to test Ryuuen and feel his attitude. If possible, maybe he could even follow Ryuuen to Class A's camp, but Ryuuen was too cautious. Although only Kinda Satoru's cognition was changed a little, other parts of his body were basically unchanged. No matter how powerful Ryuuen was, he would not be able to find anything wrong, so he did not achieve his goal.

However, even if he didn't know all of Ryuuen's plan, Kaneda Satoru, who was carrying out his mission, could guess a thing or two. Since he and Ibuki Mio were asked to go to classes B and D respectively to investigate the identity of the leader and they also needed to take photos with a digital camera or obtain the original body of the special key card, it was no surprise that they had reached some kind of cooperation with Class A.

Haruki had already received this information from Arisu Sakayanagi, but he had not yet received the specific details.

However, he actually didn't know the situation of Class C, because not long after the test started, he and Ibuki Mio were nominally "driven away". He only just found out that everyone was having so much fun. It was so ironic.

After that, it was time to understand the situation as best as possible and report it to Haruki.

On the other side, Ryuuen and his follower Ishizaki had already changed their clothes and arrived at Class A's camp, the cave.

"Hmph, Ryuuen, you're quite efficient. It hasn't been long since you got the title of Leader of Class B." Katsuragi Kohei was discussing with Ryuuen in a corner, while their respective followers, Yahiko and Ishizaki, were responsible for keeping watch.

The two of them each guarded a direction, and even the students in Class A had to stay away. This was an absolute top secret and could not be known to others. What's more, not all members of Class A were Katsuragi Kōhei's men, there was also the Sakayanagi faction. Although Arisu Sakayanagi herself was not here, there was no guarantee that the people who were here would not cause trouble.

This shows his caution as the current leader of the class!

……

Chapter 147: All Occupied

"In that case, the deal is half done." Ryuen extended his hand towards Katsuragi Kohei in front of him, with a barely noticeable viciousness on his face.

"Okay, nice to work with."

The two reached an agreement on the current situation, but even Ishizaki and Yahiko who were around them did not know the specific details.

A satisfied Ryuen walked away with Ishizaki, while Katsuragi continued to watch them with a frown.

"Mr. Katsuragi, this guy is so anxious, it feels a bit suspicious!" Yahiko also noticed something unusual on the side.

"Indeed, but the photo is indeed correct, and he also said that Class B should have been defeated by now. We can go to Class B's camp to investigate tomorrow and draw a conclusion then." Katsuragi is never influenced by his feelings. His judgment is entirely based on clues.

"I see! You are worthy of me!" Yahiko continued to flatter.

……

At night, on a big tree in the forest.

A girl's voice mixed with some noise came from Haruki's intercom.

"Today, Ryuuen took people to Class A's camp. That's about it."

"What are the specific contents? And where are the people he brought with him?" Yaohui also wanted to know the result of his trial by fire, so he was a little anxious.

"I'm not too sure about that. They went to a very secret place, and it wasn't convenient to eavesdrop, so my people didn't know what they talked about. But the person Ryuen brought was probably not the one you mentioned. This guy looked quite strong, and he wasn't wearing glasses." Arisu Sakayanagi said slowly.

"Okay, then I roughly understand what's going on. Is there anything else you want to report?" Yaohui walked along the tree trunk to the ground.

"Hmm...there's also the leader of Class A, Totsuka Yahiko, and that's it..."

"Okay, I got it. I'll hang up first..." Yaohui hid the walkie-talkie. Although it was no problem with his fighting ability, it was indeed a bit cumbersome to hold this thing in his hand. It would be very troublesome if it was damaged.
