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

"Next, I think we can't put all our hopes on Chi and the others. We should also take some action, right?"

If other classes capture the main strongholds, the point difference will inevitably widen, right?

Moreover, if suitable campsites are occupied by other classes, Class D will have to undertake an even longer trek to set up camp.

However, judging from Ike's appearance, he seems to be very experienced in camping. Moreover, the terrain of this island is not complicated, and there are quite a few suitable places to set up camp. This was something that Kamio Tatsuya clearly saw when the boat circled the island.

Because there were several suitable campsites, Tatsuya Kamio didn't offer any advice, as finding a campsite under these circumstances would be quite easy.

"So, are there any people among you who are skilled in wilderness survival?"

Hirata looked around with hopeful eyes, hoping that someone would step forward.

"Um, if you don't mind, I can go!"

The person who stepped forward at that moment was Kushida.

Although we don't know how capable Kushida is, she has undoubtedly set a good example.

Soon a group of people enthusiastically joined in.

"Eleven people? If one more person could join, it feels like we could split into four groups."

Then Hirata continued to look at the students around him, and then Kamio Tatsuya raised his hand.

Now that the decision had been made to target the Katsuragi faction, Kamio Tatsuya felt that it was time to take action. If all their hopes were pinned on Hashimoto, the traitor, they would be looked down upon.

Moreover, there were places he wanted to go. Just now, while sailing around the island on the ship, Kamio Tatsuya noticed that Katsuragi had been looking at the caves on the mountain several times.

That must be his ideal base camp, since it's located at a high altitude with a great view, allowing him to easily observe the distribution of supplies on the island.

In Tatsuya Kamio's opinion, that was also an excellent location for setting up camp.

The twelve people were successfully divided into four groups, and Ayanokoji and Koenji were in the same group as Kamio Tatsuya.

Two roommates, what a hassle, but Tatsuya Kamio doesn't care and just pretends they don't exist.

The path through the forest was not easy to walk, at least not for Kamio Tatsu, and the lush trees made it impossible for him to go straight to where he wanted to go.

At that moment, Ayanokouji took the initiative to come closer.

"Did you discover something that prompted you to go out and explore?"

Is this guy born in the Year of the Dog?

So sharp?

However, perhaps we can borrow his power...

"When I was on the boat, I saw a tower in the center of the island, and a cave on a small hill next to it. Can you take me there?"

Ayanokouji paused for a moment, seemingly realizing their shared predicament, then nodded: "Can you keep up with me?"

"Try it."

Although he wasn't very confident in his strength and speed, Tatsuya Kamio was somewhat confident in his physical abilities.

So Ayanokouji took the initiative to walk ahead of Kamio Tatsuya, clearing a path through the jungle, while Kamio Tatsuya followed behind Ayanokouji.

As for Koenji Temple...

"Ah, how beautiful! Standing here serenely in nature, I am so beautiful... the ultimate beauty!"

The creature flew back and forth in the trees, loudly praising itself.

Strangely, even though that guy was walking ahead of Ayanokoji, their routes were surprisingly the same.

Did this guy notice too?

However, Tatsuya Kamio didn't care about him; he just wanted to get to the designated location as soon as possible.

Led by Ayanokouji, the two soon discovered a man-made road.

Following this path, the two quickly arrived at their destination, near the cave on the hill, but neither Kamio Tatsuya nor Ayanokoji chose to go out.

As for Koenji, that guy disappeared long ago.

"It seems that's also a base there."

"Who knows."

Just as Ayanokouji was about to go forward to investigate, people appeared from another direction of the cave: Katsuragi Kohei and Totsuka Yahiko from Ban.

Upon seeing the cave, Totsuka Yahiko's face lit up with joy, and he rushed inside.

"How to do?"

"Of course we'll wait for them to come out, and then check the situation."

Less than a minute later, Katsuragi came out of the cave.

Moreover, that guy was holding a card in his hand, a card that Kamio Tatsuya had just seen from Chabashira-sensei.

Is Katsuragi the leader, indicated by the key card?

Kamio Tatsuya wasn't sure, but he had a way to be sure.

From his tracksuit pocket, Tatsuya Kamio took out a retractable monocular telescope, which he had obtained from Chabashira-sensei when he asked if he could make a fake keycard; it only cost five points.

Extending the telescope to its maximum length, Tatsuya Kamio found the perfect angle to look at the card in Katsuragi's hand.

After the leader is selected, the homeroom teacher will issue a corresponding key card and engrave the leader's name on the key card.

That's exactly what Tatsuya Kamio was aiming for.

It's definitely not an easy task to read the name engraved on such a small card, even with the telescope that Tatsuya Kamio applied for.

However, Katsuragi seemed to be cooperating with Kamio Tatsuya, standing motionless at the entrance of the cave.

Thanks to this, Tatsuya Kamio found the right angle and saw the name written on the keycard—YHIKO.

Yahiko?

I didn't expect to make a gain so quickly. Katsuragi, aren't you the platoon's mole?

Your cooperation makes me feel a little embarrassed.

Chapter 108 The Liaison Sent by Longyuan?

After learning that the leader of the class was Totsuka Yahiko, Kamio Tatsuya did not rush to leave, but silently waited for the other party to leave first.

He also needed to confirm whether the other party had truly occupied the cave stronghold, just in case the card in Katsuragi's hand was a fake.

Soon, Totsuka Yahiko also emerged from the cave.

“As long as there’s a cave of this size, those two tents will be more than enough, Katsuragi-kun.”

"Ah, let's not say anything more. Since we don't know if anyone is eavesdropping nearby, I also spotted two hidden outposts on the ship. Let's go check them out."

"Yes, Katsuragi-kun."

After the two had left, Tatsuya Kamio and Kiyotaka Ayanokoji emerged from the forest.

"Is that the key card in Katsuragi's hand?"

Ayanokouji took the initiative to start a conversation, and had just asked him to clear the way, so Kamio Tatsuya couldn't ignore him and nodded.

"So, Katsuragi is the leader of the squad?"

"What do you think?"

"I don't know anything about Katsuragi, so I don't know."

Ayanokouji gave an honest answer.

"He is a very cautious person. I never thought that guy would be so careless as to show up in an open space with the card."

"Are you saying he's misleading people who might be lurking in the shadows?"

Kamio Tatsu did not answer Ayanokouji, but walked directly towards the cave.

Given the situation just now and Katsuragi's personality, anyone with a modicum of common sense could basically guess that the guy was fishing.

However, it's hard to say whether the other party is actively or passively fishing.

The next step is to confirm whether the stronghold inside the cave has been captured to assess the situation.

Inside the cave, Kamio Tatsuya looked at the stronghold that had been marked as occupied by Ban. Based on the time displayed, he could easily calculate that this cave was occupied by Katsuragi and his men.

So, will the leader be Katsuragi Kohei? Or Totsuka Yahiko?

Although he had just seen the name on the key card, Tatsuya Kamio would not make a decision so easily.

If he and Ayanokouji had entered the cave, and he were the leader, he certainly wouldn't have taken it over so easily.

He was unsure whether his and Ayanokouji's entry into the cave had been seen by others.

There's no room for wishful thinking; we should consider the worst-case scenario.

If someone saw the two of them enter the cave and then occupied it, it would mean that they had revealed that one of them was the leader.

The question of choosing one out of forty instantly became a choice between two.

Katsuragi, who is very cautious by nature, would never make this mistake. Therefore, if Katsuragi were the leader, he would never occupy the cave as a stronghold at this time after careful consideration.

So there's only one conclusion left: Totsuka Yahiko is the leader, which is why he was so eager to enter the cave and seize the stronghold before Katsuragi could stop him.

This aligns with what Tatsuya Kamio just saw, and it also explains Katsuragi's strange behavior.

Katsuragi deliberately stood outside the cave for a while with the key card in hand to guard against potential enemies, thus being forced to fish.

Katsuragi, I admit you have some ability, otherwise you wouldn't have so many students in the class following you. But unfortunately, you have a terrible teammate.

Not afraid of god-like opponents, but afraid of pig-like teammates.

Although Kamio Tatsu doesn't consider himself a god, he doesn't mind tricking Katsuragi this time.

Moreover, they are unaware that their leader has been discovered, and they are unlikely to take any action to replace him.

In other words, these guys in the class lost on the very first day of the exam.

The next step is to find a way to get Class B and Class C to write Totsuka Yahiko's name on the last day as well.

This will allow you to directly deduct 150 class points from the class score.

If you also factor in the points spent on purchasing daily necessities during work hours, you'll probably have very few points left at the end of the day.

Even though Katsuragi has been desperately occupying strongholds and gaining temporary points these days, they will all be wiped out once the leader is guessed on the last day.

Tsk tsk, that's really tragic...

and many more?

In this way, wouldn't the labor and management's plan to switch the beams and lure the snake out be completely useless?

Are they trying to scam Longyuan?

We're partners, after all. I can't possibly betray my allies.

Furthermore, Ryuen probably wouldn't believe that Kamio Tatsuya would be so careless as to reveal that he is the leader.

So, I can only fool Ichinose after all?

This doesn't feel quite right...

As Tatsuya Kamio was pondering, Ayanokouji suddenly spoke up from the side.

"Is that person outside Katsuragi the leader?"

Kamio Tatsuya glanced at Ayanokouji in surprise. Was this guy no longer going to pretend to be an idiot?

Forget it, he might be better off not pretending to be an idiot.

Tatsuya Kamio nodded: "I just saw it on the card in Katsuragi's hand, and it does indeed have Yahiko's name engraved on it."

Where do you plan to go next?

Tatsuya Kamio glanced at the time on his watch and then let out a long sigh.

"Let's go back first; we've already gotten enough for today."

The journey back was less rushed, and the two walked slowly along the path they had come from.

What are your plans for this exam?

"I've already identified the class leader, what else do you expect me to do?" Tatsuya Kamio retorted.

Kamio Tatsuya naturally decided to continue the collaboration with Ryuen, but he certainly couldn't tell Ayanokouji about it.
