Finally, when we climbed over the mountain, we saw a small white tent on the beach not far away that was particularly conspicuous.

There is also a simple toilet and a makeshift hut nearby.

Can Sakayanagi really do all this by herself?

Tianyin accelerated and rushed down.

Gradually, a familiar figure appeared before her eyes.

The girl with the same hair color was staring at the gurgling kettle in front of her with a frown, as if she was thinking about something.

"Arisu, I found you"

"Tianyin, you are too late"

"Although it's a little late, fate still favors me"

"Hmph, you're still talking nonsense at this hour. Would you like some coffee? I have one last bottle of instant coffee here."

Sakayanagi picked up a small bowl carved out of wood and handed it to Amane.

Tianyin shook her head.

"I have too much time, it's time to go"

Tianyin glanced at the time on his watch and saw that there was only one minute left.

"Alas, we have to say goodbye right after we met. If only you could find me earlier, we could have reminisced about the past. But... Tianyin, I finally beat you this time. How does it feel to lose? Are you sad?"

Sakayanagi made the coffee with hot water, squinted her eyes and took a sip, a smug look on her face.

"Stupid Arisu, we won't know who will win until the very last moment."

Tianyin snatched the wooden bowl and drank the boiling hot coffee in one gulp.

"Hey, that's freshly boiled water... Forget it, you'd better leave quickly, otherwise you'll lose even more miserably."

Tianyin nodded, then accelerated and rushed into the sea, then floated on the sea.

"That classmate! What are you doing!?"

Two staff members suddenly jumped out from a small hut nearby and asked Tianyin in panic.

If any student is unable to get over the problem, it will be a disaster.

"She just wants to lose the qualification to take the exam. Well, the time has come, let's reveal the answer. I hope everyone won't be shocked by my appearance... But it would be very interesting, right? Hehe."

Chapter 261: Shiina Hiyori's Choice

As the broadcast sounded, this special exam that lasted for a week finally came to an end.

Upon learning the news that the exams were over, most of the ordinary students, whether on the island or back on the cruise ship, cheered.

This exam that had brought them all kinds of unpleasant memories has finally come to an end. What awaits them next is probably enjoying a relaxing vacation life on a luxury cruise ship.

With anticipation for the upcoming vacation life, most people seem to be in high spirits. Some have even begun to celebrate the arrival of the comfortable life. The cheers and noise make the beach seem to be boiling.

But there were also some people whose faces began to become solemn at a speed visibly visible to the naked eye after hearing the radio announcement of the end of the special exam. For them, the highlight of this exam had just begun.

Kōhei Katsuragi from Class A looked at the signature pad in his hand and sighed deeply.

Because the withdrawal was too sudden, Class A had no subsequent plans. From the beginning of this special exam, the seemingly united Class A could not completely unite to implement Katsuragi's arrangements. As a result, Katsuragi spent most of his energy on how to maintain the stability of Class A and neglected to observe the key card holders and lurkers in other classes.

As a result, Katsuragi was at a loss as to what to do when looking at the sign board that asked him to fill in the names of key card holders and lurkers from other classes.

After hesitating for a long time, Katsuragi finally wrote down his name in the C class column. In the C class key card holder column, Katsuragi filled in Shiina Hiyori, and in the lurker column, he filled in Ryuen Sho.

Katsuragi carried out everything in accordance with the agreement signed with Ryuuen. Perhaps this was the only list he had seen with his own eyes and could confirm was correct at the time.

As for the other parts, Katsuragi could only choose to leave them blank.

Because there is no point in filling it up, even if they have nothing to lose, Katsuragi is still unwilling to take a gamble.

The person in charge of filling out the list for Class B is Ichinose Honami. She really wants Kanzaki to take out the key card from his pocket so that they can find out who the key card holder for Class D is.

Originally, according to Kanzaki's reasoning, Ichinose also thought that Amane was the key card holder, but since Amane told her that there was another illegal use of the key card, she became less confident.

Compared to Class A, whose points have been cleared.

Class B has too many things to worry about. Class B saved 105 points in the exam alone. If they guessed the key card holder wrong, points would be deducted. If they guessed the lurker wrong, more than points would become the spoils of other classes.

Especially... Tianyin already knows who the key card holder of Class B is. If nothing unexpected happens, the more than 100 test points will be plundered completely.

In the eyes of other students, they still have 80 stronghold points, which add up to 185 class points. This is undoubtedly a huge sum of money for Class B after they have experienced punishment.

Unfortunately...all of this has become a thing of the past now.

Ichinose hesitated for a long time and never revealed to everyone the cruel reality that Class B was about to face. She didn't know how to explain that the key card that Shibata exchanged for was actually from Class D, nor did she know how to explain why Class B's key card appeared in Amane.

What is even more unacceptable is that the Tianyin they had been guarding against all night long was actually someone Tianyin did it on purpose.

Someone had unknowingly caused all of Class B's bases to be occupied by Class C.

And she was so naive that she actually thought that Tianyin let them go.

Ugh.

Ichinose sighed heavily in his heart.

In the end, only Albert Yamada's name was written on the key card holders and lurkers of Class C.

You can only take a gamble to see if you can succeed.

Class C is still recovering in the hospital because Ryuuen is injured.

The important task of filling out the list was given to Shiina Hiyori.

Compared with other classes, this task is very unfriendly to Shiina Hiyori, because Class C was the first to run out of points and was eliminated. No investigation was conducted on other classes, so Shiina Hiyori could be said to have no information to refer to.

Long Yuan and Albert, who have the most information, are seriously injured and are currently recovering in the hospital. If she goes to ask them, there will be no time at all. She must make a decision immediately.

The only hope was Albert, who made Shiina Hiyori smile helplessly, because Albert said that the task assigned to him by Ryuuen was to stay on the island until the end of the exam, and he didn't even let him see who the holder of the key card was.

Such words left Shiina helpless.

As a result, heavy pressure fell on the shoulders of Shiina Hiyori. She had to get as many points as possible for Class C without any specific intelligence support.

The only information that can be checked at the moment is the result of the lurker's spying, and this is the only information that is public in the entire exam.

Just when Shiina Hiwa was at a loss, a unique idea suddenly came to his mind.

Since I can't guess who it is, why not fill in the two options with one person's name?

For example, the people with special identities in Class A are Kōhei Katsuragi and Yahiko Totsuka.

If Shiina Hiyori were asked to fill it out, she would definitely fill in Totsuka Yahiko's name in both the A-Class key card holder column and the lurker column.

Because the identities of the lurkers are mostly known by the class leaders, and since Shiina Hiyori is not an exchange student, there is no additional bonus for guessing the identity correctly. The normal reward for guessing the lurker correctly is to obtain the remaining test points of the other class, excluding the stronghold points.

But everyone knows that Class A was eliminated with zero points, so there are no points to be deducted. It would be useless even if Shiina Hiyori guessed correctly, so Shiina Hiyori focused all his attention on who was more likely to be the key card holder.

Shiina Hiyori filled in Totsuka Yahiko's name in both columns of Class A, and filled in Ichinose Hoba's name in both columns of Class B. Compared with Kanzaki, Ichinose Hoba was more like the key card holder.

Then, in the column for Class D, Shiina Hiyori hesitated for a long time. Although Ayanokouji Kiyotaka was the only one who was found to have an identity, Shiina Hiyori still suspected that Amane was more likely to be a person with a special identity. After hesitating for a long time, Shiina finally filled in Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's name in both columns for Class D.

After receiving this answer, Mr. Sakagami was stunned for a moment. This seemingly childish answer was not something that a student like Shiina Hiyori would do.

"Teacher Sakagami, is it against the rules if I write this?"

Shiina Hiyori looked at Sakagami-sensei with some concern.

"That's fine, but... Shiina, have you thought it through? The chances of you guessing right are very low."

"It doesn't matter. We have nothing to lose right now, so we won't lose anything even if we guess wrong. So why not try a method that has a 50% chance of guessing right?"

Chapter 262: I Maybe Understand Her Better Than You

The person in charge of filling out the list for Class D was supposed to be Hirata Yosuke, but since Hirata was also recovering from an injury, this important task was given to Horikita instead.

Horikita was frowning at this time, because Tianyin should have been the one to fill out the list for such a task, but Tianyin had not been heard from since the last time Class C attacked the camp.

Even the key card was missing.

No matter how she asked Ayanokouji, his answer was always "I'm not sure."

Even after the exams were over, Amane still hadn't returned to Class D, which made Horikita feel a little uneasy when facing an important decision.

However, under the urging of Chabashira-sensei, she had no choice but to fill out the list.

First of all, let’s look at Class C. Albert’s identity should be confirmed. After all, Albert is the only member of Class C left on the island. Anyone with a normal brain can guess that Albert is the last person in Class C with a special identity.

So Horikita wrote Albert's name in both the key card holder and lurker columns of Class C.

After doing all this, she looked at Ayanokouji beside her somewhat unnaturally.

Ayanokouji didn't say anything, but just waited quietly for her to continue filling out the form.

When it came to Class B's turn, Horikita hesitated again. Although he and Shibata were partners, they tacitly agreed not to mention the specific situation of their respective classes.

The subsequent actions of Class D against Class B were all handled by Amane alone. Now that Amane has lost contact, it is not an exaggeration to say that Horikita is completely in the dark about the situation of Class B.

Seeing that Horikita was still taking a long time to put pen to paper, Ayanokouji asked.

"What's wrong?"

"Class B, we don't have much information about Class B right now, so why not just leave it blank... Ayanokouji, what are you doing?"

Horikita watched in surprise as Ayanokouji took the signature board and wrote down the names of the key card holder, Kanzaki Ryuji, and the lurker, Ichinose Honami, in the two columns of Class B respectively.

After finishing writing, Ayanokouji handed the signed book to Horikita without saying a word.

"Why are you so confident? Did Tianyin tell you that?"

Horikita couldn't understand how Ayanokouji could tell who the key card holder and the lurker of Class B were.

"intuition"

Horikita couldn't accept the answer given by Ayanokouji.

"That's ridiculous! Are you going to use something like intuition for something as important as an exam?"

In response to Horikita's question, Ayanokouji nodded.

"That's right. We've already used up all our exam points. Even if we guess wrong, there's no penalty. If there's any impact, it's just that we might earn a few points less. So why can't we take a gamble? If you don't dare to take a gamble with a 50% chance of winning, aren't you being too cautious, Horikita?"

What Ayanokouji said did make sense, but Horikita felt uncomfortable listening to it. After thinking about it, she found that she couldn't come up with a better answer than Ayanokouji. Even if she did, it would just be to swap the names of Ichinose and Kanzaki. But in this way.

The chances of winning are still 50%.

It can be said that there is no fundamental change in Ayanokouji's behavior.

Thinking of this, Horikita didn't say much and acquiesced to Ayanokouji's behavior. When she arrived at Class A, Horikita finally had a smile on her face. Amane told her that Tozuka Yahiko was the holder of the key card, and Katsuragi Kōhei was the lurker.

Since Tianyin said this to her, it means that Tianyin is basically sure of success.

But just when Horikita was about to fill in the list, Ayanokouji blocked the space with his hand.

"Ayanokouji, what are you going to do this time? I am following Tianyin's arrangement this time. Tianyin may have already obtained definite evidence..."

"I understand what you mean, because I was there at the time and saw the key card with Totsuka Yahiko's name on it with my own eyes."

Ayanokouji's voice was a little muffled.

"Since you saw it too, why did you stop me?"

“Because what you see with your eyes may not be true”

"Huh? Ayanokouji-san, please don't say something confusing at a time like this."

Horikita began to get a little impatient, she felt that Tianyin seemed to be hiding something from her.

"There was one person in Class A whose name was not mentioned from the beginning."

Ayanokouji took out the list of peepers that he was asked to fill out yesterday. Ayanokouji chose to give up peeping, but he discovered a problem.

That is, in the uniformly printed list of class members of each class, there is an option for Arisu Sakayanagi in Class A.

If Sakayanagi never came to the island, why did the school include her name when printing the list? What if a lurker chooses to spy on Sakayanagi?

What's more, the school has never mentioned that Arisu Sakayanagi missed the exam. The source of this news was heard on the cruise ship. Arisu Sakayanagi did not take the luxury cruise ship for vacation due to poor health.

In addition, everyone has the stereotype that Sakayanagi cannot participate in sports activities due to physical reasons.

So after not seeing Sakayanagi, I assumed that Sakayanagi was absent from the exam.
