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

Hearing Majima-sensei's unwavering praise, the students looked relieved, especially the guys in the class, who felt as if they were being praised individually.

"Now, I will announce the results of this special exam. However, please note in advance that we will not accept any questions about the results. We hope that you will accept the results yourselves, analyze them, and apply them to the next exam."

"Now I will announce the rankings of the exam. The last place is..."

"Class - 20 PM."

20:?

Upon learning of this result, the students in the class were immediately thrown into a state of great turmoil.

"impossible!"

"There must be some mistake here!"

Has the leader been exposed?

Katsuragi felt a sharp pain in his heart, but what puzzled him even more was something else.

He looked at Class D in disbelief. Kamio Tatsuya was standing in the group, which meant that Kamio Tatsuya had not given up.

So why?

Why isn't he a leader?

"Third place, Class C, 124 points."

Ibuki was not surprised at all by this result, because it was exactly the same as her calculation.

"Second place, Class D, 180 points."

"First place, Class B, 190 points."

Upon hearing the final news, Ayanokouji was slightly surprised that Class B, whose leader's situation was guessed, still managed to get 190 points.

Did the withdrawal of Koenji and Horikita really have a huge impact on the score?

Although they didn't get first place, this result should be enough to satisfy Mr. Chabashira.

Chapter 126 Of course, it's for Masumi-chan!

After a brief silence, the students on the beach immediately started making a racket.

The crowd reacted with varying degrees of calm, anger, and surprise.

"I didn't expect that even with our tight defenses, Kaneda-kun still managed to find us."

Upon seeing this result, Ichinose immediately understood what had happened, and a wry smile appeared on his face.

Seeing Ichinose's expression, Kanzaki comforted her, "But in any case, we came in first place in this exam, and we've learned our lesson. As long as we don't repeat the mistake in the future, it'll be fine."

Kanzaki seemed completely unsurprised by this.

This guy might be trying to use this to give Ichinose a warning.

Ichinose also perked up: "Don't try to comfort me. If Kamio hadn't told us who our class leader was, we definitely wouldn't have gotten first place."

Then she sighed again.

"I owe Kamio-kun another favor."

"It's okay, I'll find a chance to return it later."

"Yes, that's what I think too."

On the deserted island's beach, after all the results were announced, almost all the students in Class D jumped up in excitement.

Although they didn't get first place, their 180 points were only 10 points less than Class B's.

Class B was also very happy. Although they didn't get many more points than the second place team, every point counts. And since Class B only had 20 points, they were now a little closer to the second place team.

But some are happy while others are sad, like Ban.

"What's going on here, Katsuragi?!"

Naturally, the students surrounded Katsuragi to demand an explanation, but not only did they only receive a mere 20 class points, they also had to pay out 70,000 personal points every month.

Based on the current results, it's clear that Tatsuya Kamio is not the leader of Class D.

This disastrous outcome made the students in the class want to tear Katsuragi apart.

The result of the class's 20 points is easy to calculate: three classes guessed the leader correctly, and two classes guessed the leader incorrectly.

In other words, neither Ryuen nor Tatsuya Kamio were actually leaders of their respective classes.

Meanwhile, the other classes, especially Class D, felt quite pleased to see their high-and-mighty class leader behaving so disgracefully.

After spending a week holed up in the cave, I still didn't get a fraction of the points that Class C, who played hard for two or three days, had. It was a complete disaster!

After enduring a barrage of criticism, Katsuragi silently approached Class D and found Tatsuya Kamio drinking water.

Not only Ge Cheng, but several students followed behind him.

"Why? I clearly wrote your name on the final result, and you clearly did not abstain, so why is it wrong?"

Seeing Katsuragi approach from a few meters away to ask him something, Kamio Tatsuya finished his water and then threw the paper cup into the nearby trash can.

Forget it, this guy is already in a terrible state, so I won't tease him anymore.

Then, Tatsuya Kamio took out the key card with his name engraved on it from his pocket.

"You mean this?" Tatsuya Kamio grinned mischievously. "I spent five points to make this thing. How about it? Pretty realistic, huh? Too bad Ryuen didn't fall for it, but you did, hahahaha!"

Fake, counterfeit!

These words struck Katsuragi like a bolt from the blue, leaving him frozen in place.

"Lost your keycard and then got photographed with a digital camera? How careless do you think I would be to do something like that?" Kamio Tatsuya mocked. "You think you can look down on me just because I'm in Class D? Katsuragi, aren't you being a bit too arrogant?"

Seeing Katsuragi's ashen face, Kamio Tatsuya prepared to add fuel to the fire.

"Oh right, on the first day, it was thanks to you standing outside the cave without moving for two minutes that I was able to see the words written on the key card."

As he spoke, he took out a telescopic telescope from his pocket.

"At first I thought you were like me, using fake cards to mislead people, but it turns out you didn't even realize there were fake cards."

Kamio Tatsuya's words made Katsuragi's face turn ashen. Was the problem really here?

When the cave camp was first discovered, Katsuragi did not intend to occupy it, but if there were people around at the time, it would have been easy to identify the two leaders of the squad.

However, because he didn't have time to stop Totsuka Yahiko, he lingered outside the cave for two minutes with the key card in order to guide the enemy who might be hiding in the dark.

To his utter surprise, Tatsuya Kamio, the sixth brother, actually exchanged for a telescope as soon as he arrived on the island.

"So, you figured out who our class leader was on the first day of the exam?"

Some people in the class couldn't believe it was true.

"Yes, you were already defeated from the first day of the exam. And I even told Ichinose and Ryuen about it. How about that? Weren't you surprised?"

Kamio Tatsuya wasn't intentionally provoking Katsuragi and Ban's students.

But if he doesn't do that, those bastards in Ban will probably turn their anger on Kamuro after criticizing Katsuragi.

After all, his relationship with Kamuroku was common knowledge.

Masumi-chan, I've made such a huge sacrifice for you, how do you plan to repay me?

No, she's so dense, surely she can see it?

After the exams, the students were also given the right to return to the cruise ship.

Afterwards, the cruise ship will stay at this port for another two hours, during which time you can choose to take photos on the beach or something.

However, students who have just finished a week of grueling exams probably don't have that kind of mindset anymore.

"Hey everyone, thanks for your hard work during this week on the deserted island."

Just then, a leisurely voice caught the attention of the students in Class D.

On the deck, Koenji stood with a drink in one hand, smiling as he greeted the returning students of Class D.

"Kōenji, you bastard! Because of you, we lost thirty points! Otherwise, we could have gotten first place!"

"Calm down, Chi Boy. I'm not feeling well and have been bedridden. There's nothing I can do about it, right?"

It's a lie!

Given Koenji's physical condition, it has absolutely nothing to do with being sick.

After Class D criticized Koenji for a while, Horikita also appeared, but compared to Koenji, Horikita's expression was much uglier.

Look, this is what someone recovering from a serious illness should look like!

"I'm very sorry, everyone."

Horikita immediately began apologizing, a stark contrast to Koenji's attitude.

In addition to Hirata's previous statement, Horikita was not actually scolded by the students in the class.

Many students even believe that Horikita's withdrawal was meaningful.

He even praised Horikita for his decisive action.

Unfortunately, while some people are praising him verbally, they're probably cursing Horikita to death in their hearts.

Seeing the harmonious atmosphere, Kamio Tatsuya yawned and then walked into the cabin.

All he wants to do right now is take a shower, have a meal, and then go back to his room and collapse on the bed.

Unfortunately……

The shower went smoothly, but he was stopped by someone before he even reached the restaurant.

"You must have had a tough exam, Kamio-kun."

Looking at the white-haired loli in front of him, Tatsuya Kamio suddenly remembered that Sakayanagi had also come aboard.

"Oh," Tatsuya Kamio replied casually, then looked around. "Where's Masumi?"

"Oh dear, I'm right in front of you, but all you care about is where Masumi is. It's really heartbreaking."

She even deliberately put on a tearful expression.

Could you please be a little less dramatic?

"Then you can continue to get hurt. I'm going to eat." Kamio Tatsuya took a step to the left to pass Sakayanagi. "After all, I'm not like you, eating lavish meals on the ship every day. After seven days of torture, I'm almost malnourished."

"Of course, after all, Kamio seems to have grown taller recently."

Wow, you have good taste, a white-haired loli.

Speaking of this, Tatsuya Kamio was in a very good mood.

When he first transmigrated, he was anxious about his height, but now he doesn't feel that way at all.

At 177cm tall, he's definitely tall for a Japanese person.

He also felt he could grow taller.

You need to grow to at least 183cm tall, because that's how tall you were in your previous life.

Speaking of which, his appearance seems to have changed a bit recently. He looked in the mirror while taking a shower just now and felt that he looked more and more like his past life.

System, do you know what's going on?

[The appearance reflects the heart. The body repair potion works by repairing the body based on the soul; this is a normal phenomenon, so please don't be alarmed.]

Oh, I see... what a load of rubbish.

You should have said something like this sooner!

"By the way, thank you for what Kamio said to Katsuragi on the beach just now."

Because of those words, the responsibility for this exam fell entirely on Katsuragi and Totsuka, and even Morishige and Takemoto's matter was temporarily forgotten.

This can be considered a major blow to the Katsuragi faction, which is why Sakayanagi expressed his gratitude.

However, Sakayanagi was not concerned about Katsuragi's failure, because she was confident that as long as she took over the class, she could get back what she had lost sooner or later.

"How come you know so much even though you didn't even get off the ship?"

"After all, I have a group of excellent chess players..."

Sakayanagi said with a smile.

You were thinking of talking about chess pieces, weren't you?
