I have a life simulator.

"We've taken the stuff. D class guys, just stay in your own camp."

Seemingly having confirmed that Ayanokouji Kiyotaka had no other valuables on him, the two boys from Class A decided to let him go.

"give me back."

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka showed no sign of leaving. He faced the two of them and said:

“If a student commits acts of violence, looting, vandalism, or theft of equipment against other classes, the class to which the student belongs will be immediately disqualified, and all personal points of the individual will be confiscated.”

"Even though it's just a piece of paper, nobody wants to gamble on the consequences, right?"

However, the students in Class A weren't intimidated. The boy holding the paper even gave Ayanokouji Kiyotaka a look as if he were mentally challenged.

"The difference between Class A and Class D is that one can utilize the rules, while the other can only blindly follow them."

He tore the paper to shreds in front of Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, throwing the small fragments away. Soon, the wind swept them away, and they disappeared into the dense forest.

"Without teachers or surveillance, such accusations without evidence cannot stand."

The boy patted Ayanokouji Kiyotaka on the shoulder:

"Those flawed students in Class D, you should take note."

-------------------------------------

"Huh? Kitagawa-kun didn't leave?"

Sensing the sudden arrival of a guest, Honami Ichinose turned around and spoke to Ryo Kitagawa, who had once again come to Class B's territory.

"After all, we still need to stay behind to gather intelligence, and we need to confirm the leaders of Class A and Class D again."

Kitagawa Ryo smiled as he looked at Ichinose Honami, who was setting up hammocks. Unlike the other classes that used tents, Class B had set up quite a few hammocks among the trees around their base, which did give it a real camping feel.

Wearing sportswear, Ichinose Honami perfectly embodies a lively image. Even in the sweltering heat of midday, she still wears a cheerful smile. Kanzaki was initially busy a little further away, but quickly approached after noticing Kitagawa Ryo's visit.

"Looks like things went fairly smoothly?"

"It was indeed very tough at the beginning, but everyone in Class B was very proactive in finding solutions and tried various plans. Although the amount of work actually increased, the situation is slowly getting better."

As she tightened the rope, a satisfied smile spread across her face. She must have been thoroughly enjoying the united atmosphere of Class B.

"Is Kitagawa-kun encountering some kind of difficulty?"

"Class B and Class D have now signed a contract, so they can be considered allies. Just let us know if you need anything."

When Kanzaki Ryuji arrived at the scene, he heard Ichinose Honami's two sentences and felt a headache coming on. However, he couldn't persuade her, so he could only put some pressure on Kitagawa Ryo with his eyes.

However, Honami Ichinose really acted like a host, even solicitously inviting Ryo Kitagawa to sit in the hammock she had just set up. Ryo Kitagawa didn't stand on ceremony and even took the initiative, gesturing for Honami Ichinose to sit in the large hammock as well.

"Eh?"

Even Ichinose Honami, who is excellent at socializing, was taken aback by this incredibly natural invitation.

How much does Fanbo weigh?

"Huh? Probably around 100. I just had it tested last month."

Completely out of sync with Kitagawa Ryo's train of thought, Ichinose Honami answered instinctively.

"You're not overweight, please sit down."

Kitagawa Ryo estimated the weight capacity of the hammock, moved to the left to make room for her, and Ichinose Honami, who was already a little dazed, sat down without hesitation. Kanzaki Ryuji, who was next to her, had a feeling that the class president of Class B was about to be poached by Class C.

"How about it? It didn't collapse, did it?"

It must be said that the hammocks provided by the school were quite sturdy. Even when Kitagawa Ryo and Ichinose Honami sat together, there was no problem. Kitagawa Ryo even deliberately shook it, as if they were sitting on a swing instead of a hammock.

"It's really stable, so it seems we don't need to worry about everyone sleeping at night."

Honami Ichinose, with great interest, imitated Ryo Kitagawa by swaying the hammock, her azure eyes carrying the same gentle light as always.

"Does Kitagawa-kun need a place to sleep? If there's really nowhere else to sleep."

She must have also seen the scene when the C-class students boarded the ship in the morning. The beach, which was bustling yesterday, is now deserted. Unlike Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's way of thinking, Ichinose Honami's first concern was actually the living conditions of Kitagawa Ryo, who was left on the island.

Kitagawa Ryo couldn't help himself any longer, and he asked with a smile:

"I'm from Class C, how can you let me sleep in your Class B camp like this?"

"But during this exam, we were allies who signed a contract, right?"

Honami Ichinose waved her arm slightly and said sincerely:

"Besides, this is just an exam after all. I don't want Kitagawa to get sick because of it."

"Although this is an artificial island that the school has cleared, it is easy to get injured in the jungle."

Ryuji Kanzaki chimed in from the side:

"Ichinose, who is currently advising students from other classes, is probably the one who is most seriously injured. Even though everyone said they would help you get some medicine, you stubbornly refused."

Upon hearing Ryuji Kanzaki's words, Ryo Kitagawa frowned and asked:

"You are hurt?"

"It was just a little scratch from a tree branch when I was moving things, and it's already been taken care of."

Honami Ichinose smiled sheepishly. She rolled up the sleeve of her tracksuit, revealing several abrasions on her forearms. Although they had been cleaned, the wounds had not yet scabbed over, and the streaks on her fair skin looked quite unsightly.

"wait."

Kitagawa Ryo jumped off the hammock, and a few minutes later he returned to the two of them with some wild grass in his hands:

"This is plantain. Its leaves, when crushed, can effectively treat abrasions, cuts, or minor burns. When used internally, it can also help relieve phlegm and cough. You should be able to use it."

"I didn't expect Kitagawa-kun to have this kind of knowledge."

Honami Ichinose accepted the unassuming little grasses with some surprise:

"It just so happens that one of the girls in the class has been coughing a bit these past couple of days."

You should take care of yourself first.

Kitagawa Ryo looked at Ichinose Honami, who habitually put others first, with a slight headache, and sighed before saying to Kanzaki Ryuji:

Do you have any tools here?

Ryuji Kanzaki immediately understood Ryo Kitagawa's meaning. He turned back and grabbed a fairly smooth twig. Kitagawa simply crushed some plantain leaves, squeezed out the juice in his hand, and sat down next to Honami Ichinose, whispering:

"Do not move."

The next instant, his right hand, saturated with plantain juice, was pressed onto the injured areas on Ichinose Honami's forearm.

Although the action seemed a bit forceful, Honami Ichinose only expressed her dissatisfaction slightly, and in the end she obediently let Ryo Kitagawa apply the medicine for her.

"Consider this a small way of repaying my kindness to Class B."

Kitagawa Ryo offered this explanation, and Ichinose Honami responded with a smile:

"it is good."

Ryuji Kanzaki was also confused at this point. He had initially firmly believed that Ryo Kitagawa was a spy who had come to gather information about Class B. After all, although Class B and Class C had signed a contract, it did not stipulate that the two sides could not suspect each other. If Ryo Kitagawa used his status as an ally to gather information about the leader of Class B, he could easily turn around and betray Class B. Based on his impression of Ryo Kitagawa, he was certain that the other party was capable of doing such a thing.

However, as an observer, he noticed a fact: from the moment Ichinose Honami showed her wounds, Kitagawa Ryo seemed to be acting entirely for Ichinose Honami's sake. Neither her actions nor her eyes showed any scheming. Her heartfelt gaze was just like that of the students in Class B when they looked at Ichinose Honami.

Could it be that Class C is genuinely cooperating this time?

Ryuji Kanzaki tentatively drew this conclusion.

"Then I won't keep you any longer."

After applying the medicine, Kitagawa Ryo also left Class B's base.

Unbeknownst to the members of Class B, Kitagawa Ryo went straight to another pre-arranged location after leaving.

"The plan is progressing steadily, and Class D can enter now."

He smiled at the girl in front of him.

Chapter 30: Class A's Utter Devastation

In a broad sense, Hashimoto Masayoshi belongs to the Sakayanagi faction in Class 1-A, but in reality, he did not join because he agreed with Sakayanagi Arisu's ideals. He simply believed that Sakayanagi Arisu would win the confrontation with Katsuragi Kohei and become the actual leader of Class 1-A. Hashimoto Masayoshi simply chose the path that was most advantageous to him.

Compared to Kamuro Masumi, whose weakness is in the hands of Sakayanagi Arisu, he defines himself as a knight protecting Sakayanagi Arisu, and respectfully calls her "Princess". This sounds very much in line with Hashimoto Masayoshi's seemingly frivolous personality. However, beneath this superficial appearance, Hashimoto Masayoshi himself is also secretly working, gathering information to pave the way for what's to come.

Royal power is not eternal, and the status of Class A will not remain stable forever.

Hashimoto Masayoshi sat cross-legged on the ground and thanked Kamuro Masumi for bringing the food. Class 1-A's daily meals were now provided by Class C, and each serving cost ten points. The taste wasn't exactly delicious, but it was more filling than fruit or similar food.

Kamuro Masumi was a beautiful girl, and Hashimoto Masayoshi seemed to have a slight crush on her as well. However, this didn't mean he could eat calmly under her strange gaze. After only a couple of bites, Hashimoto Masayoshi asked somewhat helplessly:

"Is there something on my face? Or am I just too engrossed in looking at it?"

"No, please enjoy your meal."

Kamuro Masumi seemed to realize that her behavior was somewhat inappropriate, and quickly stood up and sat in another corner of the cave. Although it was close to dusk, the temperature outside was still not low. Most of the students in Class A were lazily enjoying the cool air and eating in the cave, while Katsuragi Kohei had taken a group of his confidants to occupy a stronghold, so he was not in the cave.

While absentmindedly eating her own meal, Kamuro Masumi secretly glanced at Hashimoto Masayoshi. Even in the deserted island environment, the other party still paid attention to his appearance, with his golden slicked-back hair neatly combed and meticulous.

Although Kamuro Masumi initially mentioned Hashimoto Masayoshi's name to Kitagawa Ryo, their relationship couldn't really be described as familiar; they were merely working together for Sakayanagi Arisu. Kamuro Masumi herself wasn't particularly good at communicating with people, so she made a simple and direct decision—

Cut first and then play.

Perhaps this approach would be more effective, since people are more likely to express genuine feelings when faced with such unexpected and sudden events.

Filled with curiosity and a hint of anticipation, Kamuro Masumi was already getting excited. After all, she was the kind of person who loved seeking thrills and was even willing to steal to satisfy her need for excitement. Thinking about what was about to happen, she quickly finished her food, thinking she might lose her appetite later.

Just as the students of Class A in the cave finished their dinner, Katsuragi Kohei's bald head suddenly appeared, followed by five or six students. Leading them was his loyal follower, Totsuka Yahiko. The group seemed to be exhausted, and as soon as they entered, they found a place to sit down.

"Did you discover any valuable intelligence today?"

Katsuragi Kohei wiped the sweat from his shiny forehead and asked the A-class students in the cave in a calm tone.

"Katsuragi, we saw a D who came all the way over here today..."

Just as a boy was about to report about Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, he smelled a subtle odor. Given the rudimentary shower facilities and the fact that so many people were sleeping in one cave, it wasn't surprising that everyone had developed a slight body odor over the past couple of days. Besides, he was a student in Class A; how could he possibly not...?

"Hashimoto? Did you eat something wrong?"

Well, he couldn't hold back after all, and turned around to question Hashimoto Masayoshi, who was sitting next to him.

"Ah...sorry, my stomach...it feels a little uncomfortable."

At this moment, Hashimoto Masayoshi was in no mood to argue, and forgot about maintaining his usual image. Clutching his stomach, he dashed out of the cave and headed straight for the makeshift toilet placed outside.

"What happened?"

Katsuragi Kohei, who was sitting near the cave entrance, was about to continue listening to his classmates' reports when a sound from nearby suddenly drowned out the boys' voices. All the students in Class A in the cave fell silent, and an awkward atmosphere gradually spread.

"Did Hashimoto eat anything unclean today?"

Katsuragi Kohei subtly shifted his body further inside.

"Hashimoto and I went fruit picking together today, and I didn't see him steal any. Besides, the fruit on the island should all be cultivated by the school. Didn't we eat some yesterday?"

Another boy raised his hand to answer.

Is the water you're drinking unclean?

"It's already boiled, okay?"

"Could it be that there's something wrong with Hashimoto's health?"

"Weakened?"

The other students started discussing it amongst themselves, but no one took it too seriously. After all, everyone has experienced diarrhea; it's just that Hashimoto Masayoshi happened to be acting a bit strangely at this time.

"Ahem... Before we discuss these things, could someone please give me a hand?"

Just as the students in Class A were using this as a topic of conversation in their otherwise dull lives, a weak voice came from the makeshift toilet.

So everyone in Class A focused their attention elsewhere, turning their gaze to Katsuragi Kohei, who was sitting closest to them and was currently the class leader.

"Yahiko, lend a hand."

Katsuragi Kohei stood up without hesitation, with an expression that said, "I am the leader of Class A, and it is my responsibility to protect the students of Class A." He then led his follower Yahiko out with an air of righteous indignation.

Two minutes later, the two men carried the exhausted Hashimoto Masayoshi back to the surface. Just as Katsuragi Kohei breathed a sigh of relief, Hashimoto Masayoshi managed to raise his hand again:

"Um... I think I want to again..."

Katsuragi Kohei took a deep breath, but stopped halfway through the action.

He silently helped Yahiko Totsuka carry Masayoshi Hashimoto back to the temporary toilet.

"Sorry, it seems... you'll have to hold them back for a bit."
