I'm in a real religion, why are all the people who confess to me girls?

Chapter 222: Our Own People

The third in command of Class B has become one of our own?

Before coming here, Ayanokouji also wondered whether Tianyin would provide him with some unexpected help.

After all, it is somewhat difficult for him to accomplish these tasks alone, and Tianyin never fights an unprepared battle, so Tianyin should have a backup plan.

But before he came, most of the help he had imagined would come from the Sakayanagi faction in Class A, who might be able to provide some information about whether Classes A and B would cooperate. But he never expected that Amane would be able to instigate an important figure like Shibata, the third-in-command of Class B, to rebel.

Now if you think about it carefully.

If Shibata stood on their side, wouldn't it mean that Tianyin had planned this move against Shibata a long time ago?

The second-in-command of Class A and the third-in-command of Class B both became Tianyin's collaborators for various reasons.

In this way, Class D's short-term advantage will immediately expand to an unimaginable level.

Originally, Ayanokouji judged Amane's abilities to be that of a bright, clever, outgoing girl with a wide network of contacts.

But now if I look back at Tianyin, I can experience a different feeling.

He still underestimated Tianyin. Tianyin was a chess player who was no less skilled than him. Although they each had their own strengths in ability, it was undeniable that Tianyin was far better than him in terms of overall view.

"Then what should I do?"

Even though he had already noticed that Shibata shared the same stance as him.

But Ayanokouji still tested it cautiously.

"Ayanokouji-kun, haven't you heard of hitting the snake at its weakest point? If the intention was to get our class to make the first move so that they could have the final say, they could have used Class B's pain points to constantly stimulate them, such as failure and point deductions."

Shibata confirmed with his eyes that Ayanokouji understood, then continued speaking.

"Even if Ichinose gets angry and asks you to leave, don't worry. As long as you are thick-skinned enough to stay here and keep mocking Class B, then Class B will be helpless against you. After a long time, someone will get carried away and then you can turn the tables and take the initiative. But now you have lost such an opportunity, what a pity."

Shibata seemed to regret losing such a good opportunity.

Ayanokouji nodded with a look of being taught.

"So did Class B really team up with Class A? And why is Ichinose in Class B? I remember that Class A seemed to have designated Ichinose as the exchange student."

Seeing the opportunity, Ayanokouji threw out all his doubts, and then judged based on Shibata's answer whether he was pretending to be like this or he was really one of them.

"It is true that they have joined forces, but so far it has only been verbal cooperation. The main reason why Katsuragi reached a cooperation with Class B is to return to Class A to stabilize the situation in Class A."

Although Shibata's understanding of Class A is not as detailed as that of Ichinose who had been in Class A, it is not difficult to find out from some clues that the conflicts within Class A have reached an irreconcilable stage.

I'm afraid that even if Katsuragi goes back, he can only temporarily suppress the dissatisfaction within Class A. Once given the opportunity, those restless people will definitely find ways to create chaos and trouble for Katsuragi again.

After hearing about the conflict within Class A, Ayanokouji's expression finally changed.

This is probably the signal Tianyin is waiting for.

We lived together on the island for four days. Even if there were conflicts during that time, we endured it for more than half of the time. So what does the rest matter?

As long as there is no extremely serious bullying incident or violent conflict, judging from the average level of students in Class A, most of them will choose to temporarily endure for the sake of the final victory based on the overall situation.

This is the right choice.

But the reality is completely opposite.

Not only is there no intention of compromise within Class A, but the situation is becoming increasingly restless, as if they could explode at any time. However, even when conflicts arise on a normal day, when facing outsiders, the people of the Sakayanagi faction will more or less give Katsuragi some face in order to maintain the illusion of peace in Class A.

This time, he openly clashed with Totsuka, one of Katsuragi's subordinates, and it got to the point where he had to call Katsuragi back, which shows the seriousness of the matter.

So why are the people in Class A making such a fuss?

It can be said that it weakened Katsuragi's authority. Katsuragi was not at the A-class base. When the riot broke out, Katsuragi was still in B-class.

It's a bit far-fetched to say that this is to undermine Katsuragi's authority. Even if the matter gets out of hand, everyone will only blame Totsuka, who is in charge of the class, for his incompetence. After Katsuragi goes back and solves the problem in a few steps, it will basically have no impact on Katsuragi's prestige.

The only explanation is that someone in Class A was trying to send some signal.

After chatting with Shibata about Class A for a while, Ayanokouji came to Class A. Since it was almost lunch time, Class A was very lively.

From a distance, you can see Katsuragi distributing lunch boxes.

After Katsuragi returned from Class B, the A-class, which had been separated into two parts, united for the first time to establish a complete camp.

This makes some things easier to do...

Ayanokouji did not choose to alert the enemy at this time. He memorized the topographic map of Class A's camp and chose to evacuate.

He needs to discuss the next specific actions with Tianyin.

Inside Class A's camp.

Kamuro, Hashimoto, and Totsuka sat facing each other.

All three of them lowered their heads and ate the lunch boxes in their hands, with no intention of looking at each other.

The two groups of people behind them with different positions are clearly distinguished.

However, after Katsuragi returned, some of the unsteady ones joined Katsuragi's team.

However, Hashimoto didn't care about these fence-sitters. After finishing his meal, he threw his lunch box into the plastic bag in front of him that was used to hold garbage.

The rice grains that were not eaten cleanly flew everywhere, and this action made Totsuka on the opposite side furious.

"Hashimoto, what do you mean?"

The green-haired Totsuka looked particularly funny when he got angry.

Hashimoto did not show any contempt for him.

"Totsuka, are you looking for trouble?"

Hashimoto's counter-attack made Totsuka a little confused.

He didn't expect Hashimoto to be so shameless. It was clearly him who deliberately threw the lunch box in front of him, but now it seemed like he, Totsuka, was bullying others.

"What happened?"

Katsuragi heard the quarrel between the two from a distance, and with a stern face, he immediately strode over.

Since the day he entered Class A, Katsuragi has always appeared as the class leader and has won the trust of many people.

This made his say in Class A almost reach its peak, and even Hashimoto was not willing to confront Katsuragi head-on.

Chapter 223: Class A in Turmoil

"Totsuka went crazy and suddenly stood up and wanted to fight me."

Hashimoto wanted to repeat the same trick, but Katsuragi Kohei's eyes were fixed on Hashimoto's eyes from beginning to end.

After being glared at by Katsuragi, Hashimoto, whose morale dropped significantly, had to give up the attack.

"I saw what happened just now. I hope that you can follow the most basic etiquette as a human being. If you can't even follow the most basic etiquette between people, I think you need to re-learn the etiquette of eating."

Katsuragi said calmly, looking towards the people standing behind the bridge itself.

"As a punishment for not following dining etiquette, I will not order any lunch boxes for Hashimoto this afternoon. I hope you can take care of your own dinner. If any of you disagree, please stand up. I will treat each of you fairly."

Katsuragi folded his arms and stared at the crowd with a stern look.

But no one dared to look up and glare at Katsuragi.

After Katsuragi glanced at Hashimoto and the people behind him with satisfaction, he snorted coldly and turned away.

Totsuka walked away behind Katsuragi with his head held high, like a victorious rooster.

"That bastard Totsuka, I really want someone to punch him in the face."

Guitou said grimly while looking at Totsuka's back.

"Don't act rashly. We can't compete with Katsuragi on our own. His prestige here is far beyond our ability to shake, so we need to be patient for now."

Hashimoto persuaded Kito very calmly.

It was obvious that he was punished by Katsuragi as an example to others, but Kito couldn't help but admire Hashimoto's attitude as if nothing had happened.

"How long will it take for us to endure this? If we don't let that guy down this time, what will we do if we encounter such exams in the future? Are you planning to change your flag, Hashimoto?"

Kamuro on the side looked at Hashimoto suspiciously.

Hashimoto's approach is really too negative.

When it comes to wisdom and scheming, Katsuragi is no match for Sakayanagi. So why was the Sakayanagi faction bullied like this?

The most crucial reason is that we have no say.

Sakayanagi's physical condition prevents her from participating in any sports activities.

This means she basically has to say goodbye to special sports-related exams.

If Katsuragi gets a lot of points without Sakayanagi this time, even those who have already joined Sakayanagi will think that Katsuragi is the most suitable leader.

In this way, Sakayanagi's prestige in Class A will continue to fade, and she will eventually withdraw from the list of candidates for the class leader.

Once everyone gets used to Katsuragi's leadership style, it becomes very difficult for them to accept other management styles.

If it was just the fading of prestige, Sakayanagi could still accept it. After all, she really had no way to take part in some special exams, and the person leading the team could only be Katsuragi Kōhei.

But what if all special exams in the future require physical fitness?

She couldn't possibly not attend any of them, right? How would that be the same as giving up?

Therefore, if one wants to defeat Katsuragi, the only way is to give him a head-on blow from the very beginning, so that his prestige will be affected and his position will be shaken.

Only in this way can Sakayanagi successfully become the leader of Class A.

Hashimoto and the others were also betting that they could defeat Kōhei Katsuragi this time.

otherwise……

They didn't even dare to think about how miserable the lives of these core members who joined Sakayanagi would be in the next two and a half years.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I changed my flag? That requires Katsuragi to trust me. Right now, I can only contact Miyako-san. I hope our hints will work."

Hashimoto placed all his hopes on the unusual situation that Katsuragi suddenly returned to Class A from Class B.

He hoped Tianyin would notice this and give them some help within his ability.

This was something Sakayanagi had agreed with them in advance. Although they needed to follow Amane's orders in everything, it was not a bad idea to make some sacrifices in order to allow Sakayanagi to succeed in taking the top position.

However, most of the people in the Sakayanagi faction did not believe that Amane could cause trouble to Katsuragi. In their eyes, Ryuuen was just a small-time gangster. Even if Amane could get the upper hand over Ryuuen, he might not be able to compete with Katsuragi on the same chessboard.

As for Ichinose? Everyone in Class A thought that Ichinose's failure was due to her greed, which led to a major turn of events that were sure to win, and ended in a miserable defeat. This was her own fault and had little to do with Amane.

In such a situation, Hashimoto did not think that everyone from the Sakayanagi faction could become Amane's helper, but with him, Kamuro, and Kito, the three of them were enough to complete some simple task arrangements.

"Why do we have to wait for others to notice the changes here? Why can't we take the initiative to find Miyako?"

Kamuro's words were like an epiphany that made Hashimoto wake up.

Instead of just sitting there and waiting for death, it would be better to take the initiative to contact Tianyin and ask Tianyin to find a way to curb Katsuragi's momentum.

"I'm going to D class tonight."

After thinking about it, Hashimoto decided to go there in person to ensure safety.

Class A is located at the westernmost end of the island, while Class D is at the easternmost end, which can be said to span the entire island.

To cross this area, you have to go through at least two woods and climb over a small hill.

It would be fine if it happened during the day, but Hashimoto had no way of leaving during the day. If he had to wait until night, the risk would increase exponentially.

After all, there was no way he could carry a flashlight through the woods.

There were only two flashlights in the entire class.

If one of them suddenly went missing, with Katsuragi's ability, he would be able to immediately guess that someone wanted to travel at night and take preventive measures immediately.

"If you go... why do I feel a little uneasy? Why don't you let Kito go with you? With Kito's ability, shouldn't it be easy for him to take you to Class D?"

Kamuro said optimistically.

"No, if there are two of us, we will be too conspicuous."

"Then why can't Guitou go alone?"

If he could only choose one person between Hashimoto and Kito, Kamuro would most likely choose Kito.

Kito's physical fitness enables him to evacuate safely even if he encounters danger in the woods. Just when Kito expressed his willingness to go, Hashimoto shook his head.
