In practice, I originally just wanted to be a slacker.

Looks like I'll have to ask the board later.

Next, Kamio Tatsuya opened the O, which indeed displayed the types of item cards each student had received. After briefly browsing through the item cards of each second-grade class, he...

Kamio Tatsuya discovered that, apart from the special cards, the other five item cards were distributed almost equally.

As for the special cards, apart from the invalid card in Kamio Tatsuya's possession, the trial card is in the hands of Ayanokoji from Class 2-D, and the reinforcement card is in the hands of Asakura Asako from Class B.

Tsk tsk, there are three special cards in total. Each of the three classes (BD) has one, but Sakayanagi doesn't have any. That's hilarious.

After leaving the room, Tatsuya Kamio ran into Ayanokouji, who had just come out of the room.

Good morning, Ayanokouji.

"Good morning. Are you aiming for a top ranking in this exam?" As the two walked towards the elevator, Ayanokouji asked about the exam.

"I don't have that plan for now. What, are you planning to give me the trial card you have?"

"Of course not, there's no stipulation in our contract that we have to give you the prop cards, right?" Ayanokouji was slightly speechless.

Kamio Tatsuya nodded. Well, although the contract stipulated that Kamio Tatsuya also had the right to direct the D-class exams, it wasn't without any constraints.

"However, this exam should be Yuecheng's last chance to target me. With his interference, I'm afraid I won't be able to act as I please. So I plan to hand over the trial card. Are you willing to make a price?"

Kamio Tatsuya pondered for a moment.

If it's impossible to confirm the main team from the third year, and a final battle is inevitable, then Kamio Tatsuya would naturally want the trial card.

What do you want? Private points?

“No, that’s not it.” Ayanokouji shook his head. “The contract you signed with Class D includes a clause that allows you to interfere with the actions of all students in Class D during the special exams, and that clause will remain in effect even if the class is transferred.”

"That's right."

“I hope you can lift this restriction on me. I came to this school to pursue freedom, so I don’t want to be controlled by you anymore.”

According to the contract, Tatsuya Kamio has the right to interfere with the actions of anyone in Class D during the special exams, which naturally includes Ayanokouji.

As someone who pursues freedom, Ayanokouji naturally did not want to be controlled by Kamio Tatsuya, and signing the contract at that time was only a last resort.

Now that he has a chance to break free from Tatsuya Kamio's control, he naturally won't let this opportunity slip by.

Of course, this is only Ayanokoji's side of the story, and it may be believable, but Kamio Tatsuya naturally doesn't believe it.

Is this guy trying to cause trouble?

Well, second grade is indeed getting a bit boring, I hope you can bring me some fun.

"Let's wait a bit longer. I need to think about it because I'm not sure if I'll ultimately need this trial card."

"Okay, I hope you won't keep me waiting too long."

It's mid-June now, and there's still a month until the deserted island exam. That's enough time for Tatsuya Kamio to make his final decision.

"By the way, you're not planning to team up with anyone for this exam, are you?"

"Yes, although the advantages of teaming up are undeniable, I will definitely be targeted by Yuecheng in this exam, and I don't want to drag others down because of it."

Ayanokouji's tone was very calm, as if he were talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

"How are things on your end?"

"I'm tentatively going to play alone. If I decide to take first place later, I might team up with someone." Kamio Tatsuya's tone was very calm, as if first place was already his for the taking.

The two walked and talked all the way to the school, and then Kamio Tatsuya saw Horikita Suzune waiting at the classroom door.

Upon seeing Tatsuya Kamio appear, Suzune Horikita immediately followed him.

"Could I take up a little of your time?"

I checked the time. Since I got up a little earlier today, there are still ten minutes before class, so I have plenty of time.

"Well, what's the matter?"

"Regarding this exam, I plan to have Class 2-D take the last three spots."

Upon hearing Horikita's words, Kamio Tatsuya looked surprised and then reached out and placed his hand on Horikita's forehead.

She doesn't have a fever, so why would she say something like that?

Were you also possessed?

Horikita Suzune clearly didn't expect Kamio Tatsu to make such a sudden move, and just stared blankly as the other person reached out and covered her forehead.

After standing there stunned for two seconds, Horikita slapped Kamio Tatsuya's hand away and said in an annoyed tone.

"What are you doing?"

"It's nothing, I just find it rare to see someone like you make such a suggestion."

It's not just rare, it's unbelievable.

"Class D only has 107 points, and there were no negative scores in this exam. Even if they take the last three spots, the maximum deduction will only be 107 points."

So I want to use this condition to get some private points from all the classes in the school, since we still owe you a lot of debt.

The students in Class D are living in dire straits, and I want to do my part to improve their living conditions.

"I see," Kamio Tatsuya smiled with slight relief, and at the same time understood Horikita's thoughts.

Horikita's idea was simple: his class would take the last three spots, and the penalty for one of the three groups would be offset by an invalid card.

The penalties for the other two groups can also be halved, so they only need to pay a maximum of 600 million private points.

The fourth and fifth place winners were students from the first and third grades, respectively, who used invalid cards to fill in.

In this way, all that is needed is 600 million points plus three invalid cards to prevent anyone from being expelled from this exam.

This is a great thing for all three grades. If the classes that issue invalid cards don't have to pay, the 600 million points will be spread across the eight classes, and in reality, it won't amount to much.

Horikita University can ask each class for one million yen, of which six million yen will be used to offset withdrawals, and the remaining two million yen will be used to pay living expenses for students in Class D.

If you're ruthless enough, asking each class for two million might make those classes grit their teeth and agree, since even if there are invalid cards, if a class falls into the bottom three, points will still be deducted.

Now that Class 2D is willing to stand up and accept punishment, students in other classes will probably be happy to see it, because no one can guarantee that their students won't fall into the bottom three.

With such a large uninhabited island and such a long duration, anything could happen. Being able to avert a major disaster with minimal expense is the best possible outcome.

Therefore, this proposal can be considered very feasible.

That's why Tatsuya Kamio couldn't help but glance at Horikita a couple more times, thinking she might have lost her mind.

After all, the Horikita he knew would never have come up with such a fighting method.

Are you enlightened?

There is something.

However, this is on the premise that she really thinks that way.

"It's getting late, let's talk about the specifics after school. Think carefully about your plan first." Kamio Tatsuya glanced at the time and said, "By the way, don't trade your class's item cards yet, I'll buy them later."

"I see."

Upon arriving at the classroom, Kamio Tatsuya was met with a questioning gaze from Ryuen.

"Nan'un refuses to cooperate, but I've reached an agreement with Kiriyama. That guy will find out Nan'un's main team within the third year."

I just don't think we can put our hopes on him; the worst-case scenario is that we need to get first place ourselves.

As Kamio Tatsuya sat down, he gave his answer.

"This is not a good sign."

"Yeah, that guy controls the entire grade, so it's going to be quite difficult to take first place under these circumstances."

The main problem now is that we don't know how the scores will be calculated. If we knew that, Tatsuya Kamio and the others would be in a much better situation.

"Oh, right, I just ran into Horikita."

Kamio Tatsuya told Ryuen about Horikita's idea, and sure enough, Ryuen was stunned, clearly not expecting Horikita to have such a thought.

Then, Ryuen looked at Tatsuya Kamio with a strange expression.

"What do you see me doing?"

"It's nothing, you've really done a lot of bad things."

?

A question mark slowly appeared above Tatsuya Kamio's head. What are you saying?!

"What's the situation in the class?"

"I let them form teams freely on the premise that they wouldn't be expelled. I heard you turned down Hiyori's invitation yesterday?"

Long Yuan said nonchalantly.

"Yeah, because if Kiriyama doesn't get the information either, I might take first place myself."

"Oh dear, I never expected you to say something like that."

"What words."

"That's incredibly arrogant."

……

Ignoring Ryuen, Kamio Tatsuya went to find Shiina during the last bit of time before class.

"Hiyori, I'm afraid I won't be able to team up with you for this exam. I have things to do myself."

"oh, I understand now."

Although somewhat disappointed, Shiina still sensibly agreed. As the only student in the class with physical abilities, Kamio Tatsuya's burden for this exam was definitely not light.

After school, Kamio Tatsuya met Horikita at the library as promised, but Horikita wasn't the only one from Class D; Hirata was also there.

Seeing Hirata and Kamio Tatsuya, one knows that Horikita and Hirata have already discussed it.

Hirata's goal is to protect the students in his class from being expelled. In his view, Class D has already lost its competitiveness in the second year.

Therefore, there is absolutely no problem with over a hundred classes exchanging points for a no-expulsion guarantee for this exam.

Moreover, according to Horikita's plan, the students in Class D will also receive some living expenses, so the next thing to do is to persuade Tatsuya Kamio.

According to the contract between Class D and Tatsuya Kamio, Tatsuya Kamio is entitled to half of the points distributed to Class D each month, and these 100+ class points also belong to him.

"Good afternoon, Kamio-kun."

"Well, good afternoon. It seems Horikita has told you everything, and your presence here must also be to support his plan."

Kamio Tatsuya sat down diagonally opposite the two, forming a triangle with the other two.

"Yes, Hirata doesn't object to my plan."

"Tell me more about it."

Horikita nodded, thought for a moment, and then began to explain from the beginning.

"In this exam, the five groups of students with the lowest scores in the entire school will be expelled, and the three groups with the lowest scores will have points deducted from their class score."

Therefore, generally speaking, no one would want to be in the bottom three, even with invalid cards.

However, if you are fourth or fifth from the bottom, you will be expelled, but you will not lose any class points.

Therefore, if our Class 2D takes the last three spots, the first and third grades should be happy to send someone with invalid cards to fill in the gaps for fourth and fifth from the bottom.

Hirata and Kamio Tatsuya both nodded in agreement. With so many students in the school, there are bound to be some who feel they won't get the reward and therefore are unwilling to participate in this exam.

Therefore, if we negotiate with the first and third grades on the premise that Class 2D will be in the bottom three, the first and third grade classes that received invalid cards should not refuse.

This is equivalent to making the most of this invalid card.

The key issue is that Class 2D will be responsible for the bottom three positions.

"I have the invalid card from the second year. If you really want to take on the bottom three spots, I can give you this card."

Seeing that Tatsuya Kamio was so easy to talk to, Horikita and Hirata secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Since Tatsuya Kamio said such a thing, it meant that he also thought the plan was feasible.

Since they have an invalid card, Class D only needs 1200 million points to accumulate, which will be 600 million after using the halving card.

It seems like a lot, but if you divide it among all the students in the school, it's actually not that much.

Today, during the day, Kamio Tatsuya used O to locate the other two invalid cards. One was in Class 1-D, and the other was in Class 3-B.

Horikita's point is that classes that provide invalid cards do not have to pay the extra points, therefore, excluding Class 1D, Class 2, Class 2D, and Class 3B.

Only eight classes are left that need to pay these points, averaging 750,000 per class, which is less than 20,000 per person.
