The Great Teacher's Skill-First Classroom

They were going to fetch water.

The fire had already been lit, and a simple stove was made with some large stones.

On top of it is a large pot for steaming and cooking.

And Kushida was the first to step forward and volunteered to cook dinner for everyone else.

The students in Class C gathered together, busy and having fun.

Well, it's actually quite joyful.

The school provided some bread and some barbecue ingredients for exchange, so they wouldn't go hungry. But for them, wouldn't picking fresh food be more like camping?

So there was a camping atmosphere here in Class C.

However, Ibuki Mio was sitting on a large rock outside, hugging her knees and watching everything quietly.

Although he was not allowed to stay, it was natural for him to be isolated by others.

After all, she is a student in Class D.

"Your name is Ibuki, right?"

A dark shadow blocked the evening glow, forcing Ibuki Mio to look up.

Just this one glance made her alert.

Just as Horikita recognized her at first sight, she also recognized Horikita.

Ryuuen specifically instructed them to keep an eye on Hikigaya Hachiman and Horikita Suzune from Class C. Horikita Suzune was also very famous in their class because during the Sudo assault incident, according to information from the court, Horikita Suzune had recorded the scene of Ishizaki Daichi and the others beating Sudo, and then deliberately waited until the court hearing to reveal all the evidence.

The Longyuan class suffered a great loss, and even dropped directly from Class C to Class D.

So Horikita Suzune is someone who needs attention.

And Horikita is also a girl, so the probability of coming into contact with her as a spy is relatively high.

According to Ryuuen, Horikita and Hikigaya are threats in this plan.

"What's up?"

Ibuki Mio glanced at Horikita, then quickly lowered her head with a cold voice.

"Were the injuries on your body caused by Ryuen?"

Horikita took a step back and used the sunset light to see the red and swollen marks on Ibuki's face.

It can be seen that the person who beat her hit her very hard.

Perhaps they are trying to leave traces that cannot be restored in a short time, only in this way can they gain trust.

"It's Albert."

Hearing Horikita's question, Ibuki Mio's eyes showed excitement and her body couldn't help but tremble.

"Albert, the half-blood?"

While on the deck, Horikita witnessed Ryuuen's henchmen grabbing Ibuki.

Horikita frowned slightly and asked, "Did you know each other before?"

"He was a classmate from junior high school. But he's become Ryuuen's lackey."

Ibuki brought her knees together and hugged her calves tightly, as if she was feeling a little cold.

"I see."

Horikita nodded in understanding.

No wonder.

Since they knew each other in junior high school, they found it incredible that Albert would be a dog for someone like Ryuuen.

And also because he attacked her without any regard for the friendship between junior high school classmates, did he feel bad?

But regarding such words... Horikita Suzune actually didn't believe a single word of it.

She has confirmed that Ibuki came here as a spy.

What Albert said about her was also unreliable.

Because Albert is Ryuen's follower and carries out Ryuen's orders.

So it is more likely that Longyuan will fight.

Therefore, Ibuki was talking nonsense.

But Hikigaya Hachiman had just told her that she should learn to control her emotions and not show her thoughts directly on her face.

"Wash your hands."

Sighing, Horikita took out a water bottle and handed it to Ibuki Mio.

"Ok?"

Ibuki Mio seemed a little surprised, and looked up at Horikita, her slightly dry lips slightly parted.

"My hands are covered in a lot of dirt. They're very dirty."

Horikita said calmly, "We'll have dinner soon. You don't want to be forced to leave because of a stomachache from eating something unclean, do you?"

"..."

Ibuki Mio was a little bit unbelievable and asked in a complicated tone, "Why are you so nice to me?"

"You ask why,"

Horikita paused for a moment and said softly, "Just consider it a gesture of kindness on my part."

"But I am your enemy, right?"

Ibuki Mio's voice became slightly louder, and she sounded extremely excited.

"Even if he's an enemy, he's a respectable one. The reason you're so reluctant to quit the exam and return to the ship is because you don't want Class D to lose points because of you, right?"

Horikita turned her head away, her fair face stained with a light pink.

I don’t know if it’s because I feel ashamed for praising others or because of the excitement of lying.

It was as if Ibuki Mio was acting with her to gain her trust.

The same is true for her.

"Are you all idiots?"

Ibuki Mio lowered her head again, her tone somewhat lost, "Everyone is just a pushover. This is simply impossible in Class D."

"So we're Class C, right?"

Horikita said this and unscrewed the bottle cap.

And Ibuki Mio did not resist. Maybe she didn't like dirt, so she cooperated and stretched out her hands covered in mud.

Clear water flowed out of the bottle. Ibuki reached down to catch it, rubbing his hands together to wash off the dirt.

"Um, Ibuki-san."

The cute girl with golden hair who had been waiting on the side came up with an angelic smile on her face. "Dinner is not ready yet. Have some fruit first."

As she spoke, the girl handed over a variety of fruits held in leaves in her arms, and said a little embarrassedly, "Because I don't know what you like to eat, I picked one for each of you."

This is Kushida Kikyo. She went to pick fruit with the others in the group that Ibuki was brought back.

"I……"

Ibuki Mio opened her mouth and looked at Horikita and Kushida in surprise.

She never expected that these two guys would be so nice to her, a girl from another class.

But she still didn't say anything, and just silently took the fruit handed to her by Kushida.

……

"came back."

At the cave entrance, Hikigaya, who had been silently observing the situation, said.

Horikita Suzune has come over from Ibuki's position.

"Ah."

Horikita nodded slightly, sat down next to Hachiman, and said softly, "Her hands are covered in dirt, probably from when Ryuuen knocked her to the ground. However, I just took a closer look and saw a small amount of dirt under the nails of her ten fingers.

So, we can rule out the possibility that he fell to the ground and grabbed the dirt during the fight. It seems more likely that he dug in the dirt with his hands for a long time."

Horikita Suzune explained that the reason she contacted Ibuki was to check on Ibuki's condition.

From this point of view, Horikita has made progress.

Hachiman continued, "If they're really digging, then they're probably hiding something. If I'm not mistaken, that might be a way to contact Ryuuen."

"Don't you carry a communication device with you?" Horikita asked.

"Our class has secured so many bases this time. Ryuuen probably knows that our class will be prepared for things like spies."

"After all, if you lose over 300 points, it would be difficult for any class. That's why students like Karuizawa and Sato would spontaneously refuse Ibuki's admission."

"So Ryuuen wouldn't let Ibuki carry it directly," Hachiman said. "If they were searched, the plan would fail."

"Ah."

Horikita Suzune nodded.

Then he thought for a moment and said, "This island forest is huge. I don't think she can easily find the hiding place. So, to be on the safe side, she must have marked the hiding place. And the hiding place is probably not far from where Yamauchi found her."

Horikita quietly presented her analysis, but she still seemed uncertain and uneasy.

She wanted Hachiman's approval.

"Now that you've thought of it, let's do it."

Hachiman clapped his hands and stood up. "Like I said, you'll have to stand on your own sooner or later."

"But," Horikita Suzune suddenly said, "Just now when I was meeting Ibuki, I saw Kushida give Ibuki a portion of each variety of fruit."

"Kakaohara Temple has occupied quite a few strongholds, and there aren't that many fruit orchards. We can only taste the fruits that Kushida and the others brought back. But they brought a lot for Ibuki."

Is it.

She saw Kushida and the others picking the fruits and then distributing them.

It seems to be a fruit after the meal. And it has not been distributed yet.

It is divided into 40 portions, and because of the limited quantity, each person can only get one portion of each type of fruit, and some types cannot even be given to each person.

But Kushida just gave Ibuki a portion of all the varieties.

Ibuki was treated preferentially.

"Kushida always seems to be very friendly," Horikita Suzune said, "but her actions are even worse than those of Karuizawa and the others."

"Karuizawa and the others will also worry that Ibuki is a spy sent by Ryuuen's class to obtain information about their class leader."

"But it's really bad that Kushida gives preferential treatment to Ibuki," said Horikita Suzune.

"Oh."

"Well," Hachiman said. "Kushida-san is truly a saint. Remember what she said when she enrolled? She hoped to become friends with everyone."

"She has strong communication skills, which allows her to interact with third-year students," said Hachiman.

"But," Horikita Suzune thought Kushida was being too sanctimonious. "Some students in our class haven't considered the risks of Ibuki sneaking into the class, and they even believed Ibuki's claim that he was assaulted because of a disagreement with Ryuuen."

"I don't understand how determined the other classes are to get points. They'll stop at nothing to get points."

In other words, in order to gain the trust of the class they were trying to infiltrate, the Ryuen class even resorted to beating up their own members, leaving them injured.

This is to win in a special exam.

This is the strategy of the Longyuan class and their determination to take the exam seriously.

Although using harm is shameful, one can feel that the other party is using any means necessary to conduct the exam.

But looking back at the performance of some of my classmates.

The dogs shook their heads.

Many people have not yet fully entered the atmosphere of taking special exams seriously.
