Demon Slayer: I was taken home by Shinobu Kocho at the beginning.

This statement is just as impactful as the explanation just given about surviving on a deserted island.

"Freedom?"

"You can even grill meat here?"

"But there's no grill or ingredients at all!"

"Let's put that aside for now. By the way, is it really okay if I don't participate?"

"I want to go back to the ship."

"Won't I be expelled if I quit?"

"Huh? Then I don't want it!"

Under the sun's heat, Tatsuya Kamio felt extremely tired. He should just say what he wanted to say; wearing sportswear under the sun is really tiring.

"As a prerequisite for this special exam on this deserted island, each class will be given 300 exam-specific points. These points can be used to purchase living supplies. A product catalog will be distributed to you later."

As Ms. Majima spoke, she held up a thick-looking manual.

"This guidebook lists all the items that can be obtained with points. Food and water go without saying, and even if you really want to barbecue, we will prepare the necessary equipment."

Even if it's not mentioned in the booklet, we will prepare it for you if it's within our capabilities.

Upon hearing this, the students' expressions gradually brightened. This was just a vacation, why bother with exams?

Why scare people? Can't you just explain that it's a good thing?

However, some people are still worried because, no matter what, it was said from the beginning that this was a special test.

"But, teacher, since it's an exam, there must be some difficulties, right?"

"No, it's not difficult at all, and it won't have any negative impact after the second semester, I promise."

"So, does that mean it's really okay to spend a whole week having fun?"

"Yes, that's your freedom. Of course, there are minimum necessary rules for group activities during exams, but..."

At the end of this special exam, all remaining points from each class will be added to the class's total points, and the results will be reflected at the end of summer vacation.

Hehe, I see. It seems that the exam where you can get a lot of points... isn't this one.

It's something to look forward to.

Chapter 106 More Than Just a Survival Game

Ms. Majima's words instantly quieted the somewhat messy beach.

After a brief shock, the students immediately became excited.

"So, if we just have to be patient for a week... our allowance will increase significantly starting next month, right?"

Yes, yes, yes, right my foot.

You've probably forgotten that you still owe Longyuan several million in debt.

Even if Class D gets high scores in this exam, it will be difficult for them to keep the points.

Your allowance will still only be 5,000 points.

However, it's not without its advantages. Once you have more points in Class D, the time it takes to pay off your debts will be shorter, and you can end the hard days of not having enough living expenses sooner.

Furthermore, although on the surface this exam doesn't appear to be a written test with a significant difference in difficulty, there's a problem...

That is, this exam is not like the written exam, which relies entirely on individual ability to fight alone, but rather an exam that greatly tests teamwork.

Since it's a team exam, there needs to be someone who can command the whole class to act together; this is the fundamental premise.

Class A has Katsuragi, Class B has Ichinose, and Class C has Ryuen. All three of them are able to keep their students in check to a certain extent.

Unfortunately, Class D received nothing.

Neither Hirata nor Kushida had that ability. Hirata, while capable of doing so, was too prone to compromise.

And Kushida...

Don't be ridiculous, she has no potential to be a leader.

As for the others, well, they're far from qualified.

From the very beginning of the exam, Class D was immediately put on the defensive, and these guys were completely unaware of it.

Know yourself and the enemy, a hundred battles will never end.

These guys can't even be friends, how the hell are they going to win?

Sometimes it's not that Kamio Tatsu is unwilling to lend a hand, but rather that these guys simply don't need anyone to help them.

If the students in Class D had been as obedient as those in Class B or at least Class C, Tatsuya Kamio wouldn't have started to slack off at the very beginning of the semester.

Kamio Tatsuya was certain that this group of people would start arguing about this exam sooner or later.

"We are now distributing the guidebooks. Although they can be reissued if lost, they will cost points, so please keep them safe."

If someone withdraws from the exam during this period, either voluntarily or due to force majeure, 30 initial points will be deducted.

Because one student was absent from the class, 30 points were deducted, bringing the initial points to 270.

Thirty points were deducted right from the start! Students from other classes all turned to look at our class, but the students in our class were not swayed by this.

As expected of Class D, if this kind of thing happened in Class D, it would cause an uproar in no time.

Ugh, I don't want to take this stupid exam either.

Kamio Tatsuya sighed, but there was nothing he could do. Until he obtained enough points to transfer classes, Kamio Tatsuya had to do things he didn't want to do.

After Ms. Majima announced the disbandment, the four classes spontaneously separated and then gathered in different places.

"So, if we just wait a week... our allowance will increase significantly starting next month, right?"

endure?

Are you some kind of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle?

All you know is to endure?

If this exam only tests patience, then the person who set the exam can die, because they are utterly incompetent.

The boys in Class D were dreaming of getting a lot of points next month, while the girls were discussing what to buy with their 300 points.

Meanwhile, Mr. Chabashira carried over a box and took out a watch from it.

This watch can not only tell time, but also detect body temperature, pulse, and even connect to a satellite positioning system.

In addition, there is an emergency contact button; simply press it to send a distress signal.

Kamio Tatsuya expressed his understanding, saying that although the island is only half a square kilometer, it is still an island with relatively complex terrain.

While it's unlikely that there are any wild beasts or similar creatures, the terrain alone could pose a danger to students who lack wilderness survival experience.

Furthermore, the watch cannot be removed by the student before the end of the exam, otherwise they will be punished. This is, of course, for the safety of the students.

If students encounter problems during such exams, it would be a major issue for the school, since students are there to learn, not to risk their lives.

No one signed a life-or-death contract.

During the explanation, the students all received watches and put them on their wrists.

"Is this okay? Will it get wet or break?"

"Don't worry, this watch is completely waterproof, and it can be replaced free of charge if it is accidentally broken."

Kamio Tatsu was not surprised by this, because judging from the teachers' proficiency, this should not be the first time that an exam for uninhabited islands had been held.

Perhaps second and third graders are taking similar exams on other islands, just like first graders.

"Tea Pillar Teacher, we're going to be living on this island for a week. If we choose not to use points, we'll have to figure out how to survive on our own, right?"

"Yes, the school will not interfere with your decisions at all. You will have to prepare your own food and water, and even the tents will be provided if there is a shortage."

Thinking about solutions is also part of the exam content; even if you asked me, I wouldn't be able to answer you.

"No problem," Chi said with enthusiasm. "We'll just catch some fish in the river and pick some fruit from the trees for food. We'll make our own place out of leaves and wood. Even if it ruins my health, I'll still do my best."

Hehe, upon hearing Ike's words, Kamio Tatsuya thought of the TV series he had seen in his previous life.

The story goes that when food is scarce, people go hunting in the mountains. Each person can hunt a thousand catties of meat a day, and a hundred people can hunt a hundred thousand catties of meat.

At that time, Kamio Tatsuya wanted to curse the screenwriter.

Let's not even talk about whether a person can hunt a thousand catties of prey in a day, or the issue of preservation.

Is there really 100,000 jin of prey on the entire mountain?

Similarly, if Chi's method works, won't other classes follow suit?

The island is indeed quite large, but with four classes totaling 159 people, Kamio Tatsuya doesn't believe that the island has enough food to satisfy so many people.

Even if there is enough food in total, how can these lazy students catch enough food to feed the whole class?

Most importantly, Kamio Tatsu didn't think the school would just sit idly by and let students mess around and ruin their health.

As expected, before Kamio Tatsuya could finish his thinking, Chabashira Sae rejected Ike's plan.

“Ike, I’m sorry, things may not go according to your plan. The last page contains the deduction review items, which will be extremely important information symbolizing this special exam. Whether or not to make use of it is up to you.”

Upon hearing what Mr. Chabashira said, Hirata, who was holding the user manual, quickly flipped to the last page and checked the deduction items.

The record contains only four items.

If a student is deemed unable to continue due to obvious physical discomfort or serious injury by the school, 30 points will be deducted, and the student will be withdrawn from the exam.

○ Deduct 20 points when you discover any behavior that pollutes the environment.

Roll call will be conducted at 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM every day. Five points will be deducted from each person who is absent.

○ If a student commits acts of violence, looting, or damage to property against other classes, the class to which the student belongs will be immediately disqualified, and all personal points of the individual will be confiscated.

Apart from Type 4, the other three are designed to prevent students from misbehaving.

“Chi, you are free to do whatever you want, but if ten students fall ill, you will lose all your points this time, and everything will be for naught.”

That's right, this isn't the first time we've held this kind of exam, how could it be so incomplete?

With this, the Patience Conference has declared bankruptcy. Congratulations!

"In other words, there's no other way but to use a certain amount of points for consumption."

At that moment, a girl in the class said this.

Kamio Tatsuya remembered this person because Kushida had mentioned his name when he was venting his emotions in his room.

Her name is Shinohara, and she is a friend of Hirata's girlfriend, Karuizawa Megumi.

Kushida not only called her an ugly woman, but also said that she was always self-righteous.

Whether it was self-righteousness or not, Tatsuya Kamio felt that what she said was correct, but it was quickly refuted by the brilliant students of Class D.

"I oppose a war strategy that compromises from the outset. We should try to be patient from the beginning and then endure until we can no longer tolerate it."

"But it would be troublesome if my health collapsed."

"Don't say such discouraging things. Exams are all about endurance!"

Damn it, keep those kinds of words to your body.

See? These guys are really arguing. Hirata is completely useless; he can't reach a consensus with either side.

They only compromise and try to find a balance between the two sides.

However, this fragile balance is likely to collapse with the slightest external intervention, and as for Kushida, her character design dictates that she cannot step forward at this time.

What's needed at this time is a strong leader, someone who can subdue all the opponents, and Ryuen from Class C is a good fit.

But Class D...

No.

While the students were arguing, Kamio Tatsuya quietly took the exam instruction manual from Hirata and started reading it.

In addition to things like tents or cooking utensils, they can even provide ready-made food.

In addition to these, there are also items such as walkie-talkies, digital cameras, parasols, barbecue sets, and even jet skis.

Furthermore, Tatsuya Kamio remembered that Majima-sensei had just said that even if something wasn't in the handbook, it could be purchased with points as long as the school could get it.

After hearing the rules, Horikita Suzune raised her hand and asked, "Chabashira-sensei, what would happen if someone forfeited after all 300 points were used up?"
