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

So that's how it is. They formed an alliance. No wonder Ichinose took the risk to help Horikita back then.

It's quite interesting that this alliance hasn't broken down after that incident.

I don't know what Ichinose is thinking. Why are you still getting involved with such a terrible teammate?

"If you really want to focus on the class, then I suggest you write down the names of the leaders of Class B."

Ayanokoji was stunned by Tatsuya Kamio's sudden remark.

"I remember you and Ichinose seemed to have a good relationship, why would you say something like that?"

"It's not bad," Tatsuya Kamio said calmly, "but the two are unrelated, and I'm not the one who allied with her."

“But doing this will damage the alliance between Horikita and Ichinose.”

So what if it's sabotaged? We'll definitely be enemies in the future anyway. This alliance is just a matter of whether it ends sooner or later.

There are no permanent friends, only permanent interests. Even if the alliance ends now, we may be able to form a new alliance when our interests align in the future.

"The path of a king needs no allies."

After leaving behind a cringeworthy statement, Tatsuya Kamio returned to Class D's camp.

Although this statement sounds childish, it is actually not wrong at all.

Class rivalry is not like war, because the losing side in war is likely to be demoralized, so you can deal with the enemy one by one.

But this school is different. Even if you fail, as long as the students in the class are still there, there is still a chance to make a comeback.

So the worst-case scenario is that one class is ganged up on by three other classes.

To firmly hold onto the throne of the class, one must be able to withstand attacks from three classes.

Therefore, in Tatsuya Kamio's view, alliances were nothing but a joke.

Unfortunately, Horikita didn't understand this principle, neither did Ichinose, and even Ryuen and Ayanokoji seemed not to understand it.

Chapter 117 Ge Cheng: Enemies Everywhere You Look

Tatsuya Kamio had planned to take a nap in the morning, but his plan had to be abandoned because Ayanokouji found corn.

Speaking of harvesting corn, I also saw Katsuragi and Totsuka from Ban there.

According to Ayanokouji, they apparently found the corn after Ayanokouji, but instead of taking advantage of Ayanokouji's absence to harvest the corn, they even helped guard it to prevent others from getting close.

Kamio Tatsuya was somewhat confused by Katsuragi's actions.

If it were him, he would definitely want a piece of the pie, and would immediately return to his class to organize a large number of people to compete with Class D for a share.

In any case, Class D gained corn, and Katsuragi gained emotional value, so it's a win-win situation.

This suggests that Katsuragi might be a surprisingly good person?

After sitting on the ground for a while, Kamio Tatsuya felt a little sleepy, but he didn't plan to sleep, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

Go wash your face.

The icy river water splashed on his face, and Tatsuya Kamio immediately became much more awake.

"Come out."

“I was wondering when you would leave the camp,” Hashimoto Masayoshi said, emerging from behind a tree not far away. “I thought you were about to fall asleep.”

"Sorry, I didn't sleep much last night." Tatsuya Kamio stood up from the ground. "So? What do you need me for?"

"Of course I'm here to tell you about the information on your class leader. It took me a lot of effort to find him out from the Katsuragi faction's encirclement."

Hashimoto spoke of betraying the class without any remorse, even with a hint of schadenfreude in his tone.

"Oh, it's Totsuka Yahiko, right?"

Hashimoto's expression, which had been somewhat smug, immediately froze.

"You, how did you know?"

Kamio Tatsuya directly told Hashimoto that he had discovered Totsuka Yahiko was the leader.

what?

Aren't you worried that Hashimoto will go back and tell Katsuragi about this?

First of all, Hashimoto was a member of Sakayanagi's faction and was the person directly designated by Sakayanagi to liaise with Kamio Tatsuya.

If Tatsuya Kamio told Hashimoto about this, resulting in Totsuka Yahiko not becoming the leader of the last day's class.

That basically confirms that Hashimoto is actually a traitor. He appears to be working for Sakayanagi, but in reality, he is loyal to Katsuragi.

Using Class D's fifty points to help Sakayanagi find a traitor is such a good deal.

The points will go to the class beauty, but the favor will go to Kamio.

Ah, it feels so comfortable.

However, Tatsuya Kamio believed that Hashimoto would understand what he meant.

Indeed, that's true. Hashimoto's mind is one of the sharpest in the class; otherwise, he wouldn't have been taken in by Sakayanagi as a follower.

He understood perfectly the significance of Tatsuya Kamio directly stating the name of the class leader.

It was a blatant test of his loyalty to Sakayanagi.

"I say, Kamio, you're really good to the princess, aren't you? You even went so far as to use the interests of Class D to help the princess test me."

A helpless, bitter smile appeared on Hashimoto's face.

Sure enough, this guy understood what I meant.

A look of approval appeared on Tatsuya Kamio's face.

"You've misunderstood. All I want is her favor. As for the class points for Class D, I'm not interested in that."

Hashimoto secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this person wasn't interested in class rivalries; otherwise, he even thought that Sakayanagi might not be a match for him.

Even now, he still remembers the strange chessboard he saw in the library.

"Okay, okay, I get it."

You don't know anything! Your face is full of disbelief. Don't think I can't see it.

"Is there anything else?"

"Yes, Katsuragi and Ryuen have cooperated. Ryuen gave the class enough supplies to last a week on the island. In exchange, each of us in the class will have to give him 20,000 personal points every month, totaling 800,000."

However, in exchange, Katsuragi stipulated that the students in the class could not use the 270 class points that the class possessed.

Hashimoto told Kamio Tatsuya about it without hesitation, which shows that Hashimoto was very sincere.

only……

Kamio Tatsuya began to feel some sympathy for Katsuragi.

To avoid being tripped up by the Sakayanagi faction within his class, he directly signed this points trading contract with Ryuen, his purpose being to block these guys from the Sakayanagi faction.

It's important to know that the initial points a class has can be used by anyone.

Katsuragi wanted to save as many points as possible, but the Sakayanagi faction just wanted to see him make a fool of himself and would definitely find excuses to use up those points without restraint.

As for Katsuragi stopping them, that's even more impossible.

If you dare to stop me, I'll cause trouble, or even withdraw from the exam, causing the class to lose thirty points.

Furthermore, it could also label Ge Cheng as someone who doesn't care about the lives of his classmates.

To avoid this situation, Katsuragi chose to cooperate with Ryuen, with the Ryuen class providing a large amount of living supplies. As a result, even the Sakayanagi faction had to shut up.

Since basic necessities are available, deliberately causing trouble would be unreasonable and would give Katsuragi an excuse to retaliate.

Even so, the Sakayanagi faction still wouldn't let him go, and that's how Totsuka Yahiko's information was leaked.

Moreover, his partner is unreliable, and Ryuen keeps trying to take advantage of him. In the shadows, Tatsuya Kamio and Ayanokouji are keeping a close eye on Ban's every move.

Looking around, he saw enemies everywhere, not only from within and without, but even from the students of the Katsuragi faction. He suspected that there were spies planted by Sakayanagi An.

Suddenly, Tatsuya Kamio began to understand Katsuragi's predicament.

He may not have been blind to choose Totsuka Yahiko; rather, he simply had no one left to trust.

He has no choice.

"By the way, I just saw a student from Class C at your class's camp, right?"

"You mean Ibuki, the spy sent by Ryuen?"

Kamio Tatsuya's nonchalant tone left Hashimoto speechless once again.

So you knew she was a spy? And you still let her into your class?

"Besides what I just mentioned, there's another aspect to the cooperation between Katsuragi and Ryuen: if Ryuen can provide Katsuragi with information on the leaders of other classes, they will receive an additional 5,000 points for each correct guess."

This guy really betrayed Katsuragi completely.

Aren't you afraid I'll make sure your class gets absolutely nothing?

Hashimoto had certainly thought about this issue, but in his view, it was nothing to worry about.

If we can successfully defeat Katsuragi and let Sakayanagi take control of the class, the class will eventually be able to regain the points they are currently behind.

Chapter 118 My morning grumpiness is terrible!

After exchanging information with Hashimoto, Kamio Tatsuya returned to Class D's camp. As for Hashimoto, he was so agile that most of the students in Class D probably wouldn't be able to spot him.

That night, because he had stayed up all day, Tatsuya Kamio went back to his tent and slept soundly until he was woken up the next day.

"Kamio, wake up."

"Hmm...? Hirata? Are we going to call roll?"

Hirata usually doesn't do anything to bother others, so Kamio Tatsuya immediately assumed that roll call was coming.

That's true, after all, I haven't slept all day, so it's normal to sleep a little more soundly at night.

Kamio Tatsuya responded sleepily, while raising his wrist to check the time.

7:24

There's still a long time before roll call at 8 o'clock.

Why did Hirata call me?

"It seems something's happened with the girls. Could you please get up and go outside to assemble?"

problem occurs?

Kamio Tatsuya's first thought was that these restless women were probably up to something again, and he felt his morning grumpiness was reaching its peak.

You better really have something to say!

Soon, Hirata woke up all the boys and they gathered outside the tent.

Although they didn't know what had happened, most of the boys chose to remain silent after noticing the terrifying looks the girls were giving them.

"All the boys are here, so early in the morning, what happened?"

"I'm sorry, Hirata-kun, although this matter has nothing to do with you... but there are things we have to confirm no matter what, which is why we called all the boys over."

The one who spoke was a girl named Shinohara, who was very ordinary-looking and the kind of girl that would never normally catch Tatsuya Shino's eye.

At this moment, her gaze towards the boy was extremely unfriendly and full of contempt.

"This morning, Karuizawa-san's underwear went missing... Do you know what that means?"

"Huh... underwear?"

Hirata, who is usually very calm, was clearly somewhat shaken this time.

Who is Karuizawa?

Oh, it's that hot girl with the blonde ponytail.

So, is she Hirata's girlfriend?

Her underwear is missing?

Kamio Tatsuya subconsciously looked towards Ayanokouji. You wouldn't be that heartless, would you?

Ayanokouji seemed to sense something and looked over expressionlessly, revealing a helpless expression.

Cough cough, just kidding. Even if this guy is incredibly thirsty, he probably wouldn't do something like that.
