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

"It's him?"

Katsuragi was somewhat surprised, but in his opinion, the key card couldn't be faked.

"Okay, that's the first thing. Next, there's a second thing."

As he spoke, Ryuen pulled up a second photo. It showed two students, one holding a tree branch and pointing it at Ayanokouji's throat, and the other taking something out of Ayanokouji's pocket.

You should know this person, right?

"This is!?"

The composed expression on Ge Cheng's face vanished instantly. Upon seeing the photo, he realized the seriousness of the situation.

After seeing Katsuragi's reaction, several other students gathered around and saw what was on the camera.

"Oh dear, I never expected that our class would actually steal other people's belongings. It really surprises me."

Long Yuan's strange and sarcastic voice echoed throughout the entire camp.

"This, this isn't real."

Not only Katsuragi, but even the other students who had just seen the footage on the camera were somewhat incredulous.

"Hey! Morishige, Takemoto! What are you two saying?"

The students from the two classes who were named were stunned. How did they get dragged into this?

However, when they saw what was on the screen, their faces turned deathly pale.

They were perfectly clear whether what was shown in the photo was real or not.

A deathly silence fell over the scene.

Compared to the gloomy expressions on the faces of his classmates, Long Yuan was quite happy at this moment.

Kamio did a really good job, and the thought that he would soon become her comrade made Ryuen even happier.

"Dragon Garden, what do you want? Points?"

The time displayed on the digital camera was yesterday morning. Since he didn't hand over the evidence to the school immediately, but instead came to them in person now, it means he has ulterior motives.

Based on Katsuragi's assessment of Ryuen, all he wanted was private points.

“Starting next month, each person in the class will provide me with 50,000 personal points every month. If you agree, I will delete the photos.”

As soon as Long Yuan uttered his words, he was immediately met with opposition from the students in his class.

"What a joke! How could this be..."

"Shut up, all of you." Before the other party could finish speaking, Long Yuan shouted in a deep voice, "I don't have time to play around with you here. I'm only giving you five minutes to discuss it and come find me."

As he spoke, Long Yuan walked to the side, handing the space over to the students in his class. His attitude was very firm, leaving no room for bargaining.

"Mori Shige, and Takemoto, what have you two done?"

As soon as Longyuan left, Ge Chen's underling Totsuka immediately began to blame the culprit who had caused the incident.

Because both Morishige and Takemoto were members of the Sakayanagi faction.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't you, Katsuragi, tell them to guard that stronghold at the tower?"

"Katsura didn't ask them to steal from others!"

"What did you say?"

The class immediately erupted into a noisy commotion.

Seeing this scene, Long Yuan's lips curled into a mocking smile. The class was nothing special. They looked impressive, but in reality, they were rotten inside and just a bunch of rabble.

"Enough! Now is not the time to discuss whose responsibility it is."

At the crucial moment, it was Katsuragi who stepped forward.

To be honest, he really didn't want to agree to Longyuan's request. Even if the class was eliminated in the end, he wouldn't be blamed for the failure.

Even though he signed that contract with Ryuen, the one who caused the class to suffer heavy losses was not him, but the two boys from the Sakayanagi faction.

This was arguably a golden opportunity to strike at Sakayanagi, but Katsuragi couldn't bring himself to do it; he couldn't bring himself to betray the class's interests to do so.

Kamio Tatsuya had taken this into consideration, which is why he dared to ask for so much at once, showing no fear of Katsuragi's desperate measures.

"According to my calculations, if the exam goes smoothly, our class can get more than 520 class points."

These 520 points include the 270 points the class initially possessed, the 200 points from capturing strongholds, and the 50 points from correctly guessing the leader of Class D.

The students in this class all understand this, so there's no need for much explanation.

"Whether to agree to Long Yuan's request to continue the exam, or to give up the exam now and bear the debt of 800,000 every month, let's vote. Those who choose to agree to Long Yuan's request, raise your right hand."

After saying that, Katsuragi turned around and stopped looking at the students in the class.

"There is one and a half minutes left before the time required by Longyuan. I will give you one minute to make a final choice. Please make a decision based on your own ideas."

The students in the class looked at Katsuragi as he turned around, and then some of them started raising their hands. Gradually, more and more people raised their hands.

A minute passed quickly, and at that moment, Katsuragi turned around.

The majority of people raised their hands, more than twenty-five people in total. Under these circumstances, even if Katsuragi objected, it would be of no use.

Katsuragi understood their thoughts; withdrawing from the competition now would be a huge loss for Chen Ben!

Making dumplings just for a little vinegar is actually a sunk cost!

They were just a group of students, and making such a difficult decision was still too much for them.

"I see."

Katsuragi sighed and then walked towards Ryuen.

"Our class has decided to accept your request."

"Hehehe, that's more like it, Katsuragi. A wise person knows when to yield. I have high hopes for you." With that, Ryuen took out a contract. "Please call Majima-sensei over."

Seeing Katsuragi agree to the request, Hashimoto, standing in the crowd, looked rather displeased.

Katsuragi didn't know, how could he not know?

Totsuka Yahiko's leadership status has long been exposed, and Katsuragi's claim of 520 points is utter nonsense!

Moreover, he didn't think that guy, Tatsuya Kamio, would be so careless as to let his key card leave his side.

So all of this is very likely just a scam!

He saw the photo; the boy being controlled by Morishige and Takemoto was a student from Class D.

Is it just a coincidence that Longyuan is located there?

How can it be!

Therefore, he suspected that Longyuan and that guy had joined forces.

But none of this can be said.

Did he just tell Katsuragi that Class D had discovered our leader's identity and that we wouldn't get 500 points?

At that time, he will face suspicion from the Katsuragi faction, who will suspect him of being a spy, and they may even suspect that Morishige and Takemoto did this on purpose.

Therefore, Hashimoto couldn't say anything.

The contract has been signed!

However, if that's the case, then the class will lose too badly.

If the class leader is guessed, not only will all temporary points be invalidated, but 50 basic points will also be deducted.

If this news reaches Ichinose and Ryuen, the class will lose another 100 points. Then, if they guess the leader of Class D wrong, that's another 50 points.

That's two hundred points. If things really turn out like that, the final class's score will only be a mere seventy points!

Not only do they receive very few class points, but they also have to shoulder a debt of 70,000 points every month...

Hashimoto felt terrified just thinking about it, and cold sweat gradually appeared on his forehead.

Princess, this matter is far too serious!

However, he quickly calmed down because he felt that this might be an opportunity.

The reputation of the Sakayanagi faction suffered a major blow because of Morishige and Takemoto's affair, but if they were to fail this exam, Katsuragi would also bear a considerable responsibility.

Because everything Katsuragi just said was based on the premise that the exam could be completed smoothly.

But the result?

As a result, Katsuragi's chosen leader was exposed, and the squad suffered heavy losses.

In this way, not only the Sakayanagi faction will be criticized, but both sides can also return to a balance.

Moreover, Sakayanagi is currently on the ship, and if a second special exam is held, Hashimoto believes that Sakayanagi will definitely be able to turn the tide!

Then, witnessed by Ms. Majima, all 39 students in the class signed their names on the contract that Ryuen had prepared in advance.

As for the copy that Sakayanagi didn't sign, Ryuen generously said he didn't want it.

If Tatsuya Kamio knew about this, he would definitely praise him, because this was yet another example of his divisive tactics.

It was clearly Sakayanagi's subordinates who caused the trouble, but Sakayanagi was not punished.

The Katsuragi faction must be very dissatisfied.

"Oh, right, Katsuragi, let me give you another gift." With that, Ryuen took out a key card from his pocket, showing the side with his name on it.

"This is my key card. Now, your class will be giving me a total of 80,000 points every month. Thank you so much for your contributions, hahaha!"

With that, Long Yuan tossed the key card aside and left the camp.

Only a group of students were left there, looking at each other in bewilderment.

I don't know what Longyuan means.

They actually betrayed their own class for personal points?

Chapter 123 Abstention

On August 6th, the sky, which had been clear for a week, was filled with dark clouds, and the sky was gray and gloomy, as if it might rain at any time.

To prepare for potential disasters, Hirata led his students in taking preventative measures early in the morning.

As a member of the class, Tatsuya Kamio was naturally among them.

"Ibuki has disappeared."

As Tatsuya Kamio was reinforcing the tent, Ayanokoji quietly approached.

Ibuki has disappeared?

Kamio Tatsuya looked towards the place where Ibuki usually stayed, and sure enough, she was no longer there. She also didn't seem to be among the girls.

While Ryuen is a formidable opponent, he is indeed a great teammate. To avoid putting him in a difficult position, he even removed Ibuki.

Kamio Tatsuya doesn't think that Ibuki left because she discovered the identity of the leader of Class D, because if she could have discovered it, she probably would have done so long ago.

"Perhaps they realized they couldn't find the leader of Class D, so they gave up."

Looking at Tatsuya Kamio's nonchalant demeanor, Ayanokouji felt that something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Did he leak information about the leader of Class D?

No, he shouldn't be present when the leader is being decided.

Ayanokouji couldn't grasp Kamio Tatsuya's thoughts. He couldn't guess what Kamio Tatsuya was thinking. Wasn't he worried at all that the tea stalker would make him drop out of school?

After reinforcing the tent, Tatsuya Kamio and Ayanokoji left the camp to find food outside.

Since we can get back to the ship by noon tomorrow, Hirata suggested that we all rely on the food we find to get through the last day.

The students in Class D had no objection to this.

The more points you have left, the sooner you can pay off your debts.

Moreover, the island is very well-supplied. Even though the area has been ravaged for several days, there is still enough food to feed a class of students for a day.

Do you think Ibuki has figured out who the leader of Class D is?

Upon hearing Ayanokouji's words, Kamio Tatsuya stopped and looked at Ayanokouji.

"You can ask me any questions directly. There's no need to beat around the bush like this; it's not for you. What you really want to ask me is whether I told her about the leader of Class D, right?"

Kamio Tatsu didn't mention the leader's name either, because he had no idea who it was and hadn't paid any attention to it.
