Therefore, Albert had to renew the base clock-in before Class D could react, otherwise...

When Albert arrived at Class C's base, panting.

The countdown numbers above surprised Albert.

"How could this happen? No, they shouldn't react so quickly... Who could it be?"

……

D class base.

Tianyin looked gloomily at Long Yuan who was pretending to be dead and not saying a word.

"I never thought that you and I would meet again like this."

Tianyin said as she reached out and began to grope Ryuuen's body.

"Are you looking for the key card? Hum, didn't that guy Horikita tell you that I gave the card to Albert?"

Ryuuen showed a fearless look and looked at Tianyin jokingly.

"Who knows if you have another one?"

Hearing Tianyin's words, Ryuuen's expression did not change and he spoke calmly.

"How can there be two cards? Are you kidding me?"

"Are you still pretending? Now that we're just the two of us, I might as well tell you that I've seen through all your tricks. I want to thank you for working so hard for me... But you didn't even prepare two cards... Tsk tsk, it seems I still overestimated you."

Ryuuen's expression finally changed, and he subconsciously clenched his teeth just as he was about to speak.

He didn't know whether Tianyin was cheating him or not, and he had already handed the last trump card to Albert at the last moment.

He thought he had done it perfectly, but when he saw Tianyin's confident expression, a sense of uneasiness spread.

In order to dispel his inner anxiety, he could only choose to refuse to answer. He still understood the principle that too much talk will lead to mistakes.

Seeing that Long Yuan started to pretend to be dead again, Tianyin didn't care. He looked at the time on his watch. It was almost eleven o'clock.

The corners of his mouth curved up.

"How boring! I was planning to use you to kill time. Well, you are of no value now anyway. Just wait for the treatment, violator."

"What violators? I don't understand what you are saying."

Hearing this word suddenly, Long Yuan's expression changed drastically.

In the end, Ryuuen decided to test Tianyin.

He didn't believe Tianyin could see through his plan.

This time there is no superfluous addition by people like Ichinose and Kanzaki.

He had absolute confidence in his plan.

"Forget it. You're going to be eliminated anyway, so it doesn't hurt to tell you. Guess why I came back a little late? Because I went to find the school staff first. Coincidentally... I just heard that someone swam back to the island from the cruise ship. How can I put it? You're really worthy of me, Ryuen-san. How does it feel to get nothing?"

Chapter 241: Do you want me to help you get revenge?

The fire in Class A's camp was effectively contained only after the school deployed a helicopter, and it lasted until firefighters arrived and put out the flames.

But Class A's camp was ruined because of this.

Katsuragi sat cross-legged on the beach with gauze wrapped around his head, looking at the Class A camp which was still emitting black smoke.

Don't know what to think.

"Katsuragi-san, I..."

Totsuka came to Katsuragi with a guilty look on his face, and was interrupted by Katsuragi just as he was about to explain.

"Is anyone hurt?"

"Seven people suffered minor injuries and have been transferred to nearby hospitals."

When he heard that seven people were injured, Katsuragi closed his eyes in pain.

"What are the results of the investigation into the fire? It should be arson, right?"

Katsuragi didn't believe that the camp would catch fire for no reason, and the simple toilet and the tent caught fire at the same time, which showed that there was something fishy going on.

"The fire was so big...no evidence was found at the scene"

The school attached great importance to this fire and mobilized staff to collect evidence, but unfortunately there was almost no evidence of arson.

The explosion in the makeshift toilet was caused by a gas tank encountering an open flame, but it was unknown where the open flame came from.

Teacher Mashima suggested checking the surveillance video, but found that the surveillance video of Class A could not be used normally after the heavy rain yesterday. After personally investigating the scene, he found that the surveillance line had been cut by a knife.

"So you can't find any evidence of human error at the arson scene, right?"

Katsuragi sighed.

For the first time, he was disappointed with school.

If the school had strengthened the management and maintenance of the surveillance system, it would not be impossible to find the suspect.

When he thought about the fact that the cause of the incident was still because of Totsuka's barbecue party, which caused Class A to be careless, Katsuragi couldn't help but want to scold Totsuka.

But seeing that Totsuka was also covered in dust and dirt, Katsuragi could only swallow his words of blame.

"Katsuragi-san, Mashima-sensei wants you to come over."

A staff member came running to summon Katsuragi.

Katsuragi checked the time.

Eleven fifty.

Katsuragi calculated that although going back to punch in at the base now would cause the subsequent punch-in times to be later, it shouldn't be possible for anyone to dare to seize their base after such a serious disaster happened to Class A.

"I'm going to see Mr. Mashima. Totsuka, you go back and refresh the base occupation time."

"Okay...will we be held accountable?"

Totsuka asked, somewhat worriedly.

"Humph, that's for sure, unless we can find out who set the fire...but no matter who set the fire, Class A will be eliminated."

Seven people were injured and sent for treatment, which means that seven people in Class A withdrew from the exam. One person gets 30 class points, and seven people get 210 points.

It is enough to deduct all the points of Class A.

Now Katsuragi can only rely on the base points to maintain the face of Class A.

Hearing Katsuragi's words, Totsuka nodded, then walked dejectedly towards Class A's base.

They were now being housed in the staff residence, which was quite a distance away from Class A's base.

"Mr. Mashima, do you have something to talk to me about?"

As Katsuragi entered the temporary office room, he felt his shoulders sink.

In addition to Chabashira and Hoshinomiya who rushed to Class D to check on the injured, Sakagami-sensei, Mashima-sensei and Nanyun Masayuki all stared at Katsuragi.

"How is your injury? Does it affect your movements?"

Teacher Mashima first asked Katsuragi about his situation out of concern, which made Katsuragi feel a little uneasy.

Generally speaking, if you try to calm people down right away, it means that what you are going to say next will be difficult for Katsuragi to accept.

"I'm fine, except..."

He was about to say that he was attacked, but for a moment he had no way to prove who attacked him, which made Katsuragi hesitate whether to bring up the matter at this time.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Katsuragi was somewhat touched by Mashima's concerned look.

"I'm fine. You came to talk to me so late at night. Is there something you want to tell me?"

Katsuragi naturally knew that it was impossible for Teacher Mashima to call him over just to ask about his well-being. After all, such a big thing happened in Class A today. Katsuragi himself didn't believe that no one would be held accountable.

"I came to tell you, Katsuragi, that Class A's special exam is over. Due to Class A's poor management, a fire was caused, which caused extremely serious losses. We have decided to deduct all of Class A's exam points, but retain your base points. All members of Class A must leave the island and return to the cruise ship at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning."

Katsuragi had anticipated Mashima's sentence, but he had not expected the punishment to be so severe.

"Mashima-sensei! This punishment is too much. Moreover, this fire was definitely not caused by the mistakes of Class A. It was clearly arson! And even I..."

Mashima-sensei nodded.

"It was arson, but where is the evidence? Frankly speaking, the makeshift toilet has a certificate of conformity, and the wreckage of the gas tank has been inspected by a specialist. The explosion was caused by an open flame inside. The monitoring line was cut off and you were attacked. It was definitely man-made, but we need evidence because Class A failed to put out the fire in time, which delayed the firefighting by nearly three hours..."

Teacher Mashima picked up the water cup and took a sip of water.

"Three hours is enough to destroy all physical evidence. Also, we found this near the wreckage of the tent."

Mashima-sensei glanced at Nagumo.

Nanyun carefully placed a piece of charcoal that was almost burned to ashes in front of Katsuragi.

"It was this charcoal block that ignited the tent. As far as I know, your class was the only one that bought charcoal for the banquet that day, right? If this arson was caused by someone, it's very likely that it was done from within."

Mashima's attack was like a heavy hammer hitting Katsuragi's heart.

internal.

This was an answer Katsuragi had never imagined.

If it's really inside...

“I think I know who it might be.”

"Hashimoto-san has an alibi, and he was the one who rescued Totsuka and you."

Mashima seemed to have anticipated Katsuragi's answer, and explained before Katsuragi could tell him the list.

Even Katsuragi fell silent for a moment.

"Is there really no other way?"

Just when Katsuragi was still trying to get Class A exempt from punishment.

Outside, Totsuka's noisy voice could be heard.

Katsuragi looked at the time, it was 12:15.

At this time...Totsuka came back too quickly. Normally, it would take about twenty minutes to walk from here to Class A's base, and another twenty minutes to come back.

But it only took Totsuka 25 minutes to get back, which only means that Totsuka jogged all the way back.

Katsuragi couldn't help but walk out the door.

"Totsuka, what happened?"

"Katsuragi-san! Our base has been completely occupied!!!"

Totsuka shouted at Katsuragi with a sad face.

Katsuragi's mind went blank.

His body shook twice, but he finally managed to stay put thanks to his perseverance.

"Katsuragi-san, are you okay?"

Totsuka hurriedly ran over to support Katsuragi, but was pushed away by Katsuragi. Katsuragi glared at Totsuka angrily and turned back to the room.

"What happened?"

Seeing that Katsuragi looked unhappy, Mashima asked in confusion.

"Ms. Mashima, I would like to request an investigation into which class occupied Class A's base. We were caught in a fire, but someone took advantage of the situation and occupied our base. I request that the school declare their occupation invalid."

Nagumo glanced at Katsuragi.

"The rules are fair. We can't deny the other party's occupation just because they took advantage of us. After all, they are also following the rules. Of course, if the other party violates the rules, we can invalidate it."

Nagumo's words brought Katsuragi back to his senses from his rage.

He knew that since Nan Yun said so, it meant that the situation was irreversible.

Instead of continuing to argue and determine that the other party's occupation is invalid, it is better to think about how to end it.

"Then could you please find out which class has occupied our base?"

"From the number of the check-in point, it seems that someone from Class B checked in at your previous base. As for who checked in, we are not in a position to reveal it."
