"After we set out, everyone can follow the direction I remember until you find the artificially treated location," the young man said, pulling out the island map from the manual and pointing at it. "Because we can't confirm whether these places are strongholds right now, we'll have to see them with our own eyes to understand everything."

"The core of our current plan is to find out who the class leaders of other classes are. Therefore, the goal of this wave of exploration is not to capture the stronghold, but to collect as much intelligence as possible."

"For example, what's the environment like around the base? Is it easy to be snooped on? Has the base been occupied? If so, which class occupied it?"

Mitsuru Hashima slowly raised this series of questions. This was the key to this intelligence gathering, and everyone had to understand the key points of the idea.

"If we find a base that's not occupied, we can execute the plan I just mentioned. Everyone can hide near the base. According to the rules in the manual, other classes cannot use the base without permission, so we will naturally confirm the occupation status of the base as soon as possible."

"At this time, everyone can pay attention to the situation of these class members, carefully observe their attitudes and listen to their conversations. Perhaps you can discover important information or intelligence."

"They want us to become ninjas, hahaha."

After Shibata Sa understood the core operation of this plan, he immediately laughed.

"Whether you're a ninja or an assassin, the ultimate goal is to successfully gather intelligence. That's what's most important."

Hashima Hikaru's expression was serious, and without a moment's hesitation, he added, "According to what the teacher just said, there are multiple bases on this island. We're all heading from the island's beach toward the forest interior, so without knowing the movements of other classes, this plan can continue."

"There's still plenty of time left before the evening roll call. We can confirm the intelligence by searching for a base," the young man paused, then continued, "Apart from those collecting this intelligence, the rest of the students will work hard to manage our base and ensure everyone can get through these seven days smoothly."

"From daily supplies collection, meal preparation, and cleaning, etc., only by better division of labor and cooperation can we achieve better results. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

"We'll work on this together."

Now that everyone has agreed to carry out this plan, they must show their enthusiasm now. No one does not want to achieve the final victory. It is related to the collective honor and the personal points obtained, so they must go all out.

"Okay, now let's decide on the number of people for the three teams. Let's tentatively decide on three people per team, so we'll need nine people in total."

After some discussion, a list of nine people was finally established, basically consisting of those students who were more active in the class.

The first group is Hashima Hikaru, Ichinose Honami, and Ando Sayo, the second group is Shibata Sa, Beppu Ryota, and Himeno Yuki, and the third group is Kanzaki Ryuji, Amigura Asako, and Hamaguchi Tetsuya.

Hikaru Hashima borrowed a pen from Hoshinomiya Chie, and then drew the movement routes of several points that he remembered on the map for everyone to see. These points were all in the front half of the island. In any case, there was a considerable probability of meeting students from other classes.

"Then let's go. Remember our goal and be careful to gather intelligence."

"clear."

The three teams began to walk towards the depths of the forest according to the instructions given by Mitsuru Hashima. After the other students saw them off, they continued to arrange the surrounding furnishings according to the boy's instructions. Some people also went into the forest to collect supplies and food, pushing forward the construction of the camp in an orderly manner.

-----------

At the same time, somewhere in the forest, in the camp chosen by Class D, two people were confronting each other.

On one side was Class D's current leader, Ibuki Mio, and on the other was Ryuen Sho, who had been silent for a long time. The long-haired man had a sneer on his face, as if he was mocking the girl opposite him.

"Well, I can't tell you, do you really have a plan that can help Class D gain an advantage?"

"I have just repeated the arrangements in this regard. By stably occupying the stronghold and saving basic points, we will definitely be able to gain more class evaluation points in the end." Although Ibuki was provoked by the other party, she has been the class leader for so long that her abilities have been greatly exercised and she will not let others guide her emotions at will.

"Hahaha, this is hilarious! It seems you still don't understand the purpose of the school organizing this exam!"

Ryuuen sneered contemptuously and then sarcastically said, "It would be best if I were the class leader. You're just making everyone else suffer."

"What exactly do you want to say?" Ibuki suppressed the anger in his heart and asked the other party's purpose.

"I've come up with a great plan, but it requires the cooperation of everyone in the class," Ryuuen Sho said with a grin, "and if we execute it this way, our class will be the final winner!"

"Oh, who can't brag?"

"Of course, this isn't just empty talk, it's a unique strategy with multiple safeguards. It just requires someone to suffer."

Ryuen Sho looked at the homeroom teacher Sakagami Kazuma standing next to him and said to him, "Teacher, if I call a student from another class over now, it shouldn't be considered a violation, right?"

"It doesn't count. You can shout whatever you want." After hearing what Ryuuen said, Sakagami Suzuma suddenly felt some expectations for him.

"That's good."

Long Yuanxiang paused, then turned his head and shouted towards the woods nearby: "You can come over now."

As soon as the voice fell, there was a rustling sound in the woods, and then a figure emerged from it. It was a blond boy with a ponytail. He also had a smile on his face, as if he had been here a long time ago.

"who is this?"

"I think he's from Class B... I think his name is Hashimoto Hashimoto."

When this boy appeared in the camp, Ibuki Mio was stunned at first, and then she shouted at Ryuen Sho.

"Are you planning on betraying our class?"

"Of course not. This person is here to cooperate with us. He's an ally."

Ryuen Sho slowly shook his head and said to Ibuki Mio, "If we want to win this exam, we still have to focus on guessing the list of leaders from other classes."

"And this Hashimoto-san is here to give us the name of their class leader."

"what!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the students in Class D were shocked, and everyone's face was filled with disbelief.

This is undoubtedly a betrayal!

Chapter 148: Ryuen Sho Plans to Survive in the Wilderness

In the D class camp, all the students including Ibuki were speechless at what Ryuuen Sho had just said. In this big framework of class competition that everyone is well aware of, facing such an important special exam, how could there be someone who would actively betray his own class leader?

What's more, they are members of the original Class A and are the first batch of students selected by the school before the start of the school year.

Such an unreasonable situation made everyone feel unbelievable.

The blond boy, Hashimoto Masayoshi from Class B, glanced at the expressions of everyone in the camp, but he didn't really have much reaction in his heart. As Sakayanagi's right-hand man, he could make such a decision naturally because he had received the other party's instructions in advance.

To explain why we chose Class D as our partner, we actually have to start from the cruise ship.

When she first boarded the ship, Sakayanagi had actually guessed that the school might hold a special exam. Although she could not participate due to physical reasons, she could make a plan through remote control in order to combat the influence of the Katsuragi faction in the class.

Sakayanagi was in a very bad mood because she was being suppressed by Class A for several consecutive months. However, since they had agreed to the rotation system of class leaders at that time, Katsuragi Kōhei was the one who formulated the strategic guidelines for the class until the first special exam.

This steady bald man is cautious and obviously prefers a defensive strategy between offense and defense. Therefore, he has not implemented any overly proactive attack plans since the beginning of the school year and has not caught up with Class A's class evaluation scores.

This special exam is obviously a good opportunity. The task that Sakayanagi assigned to Hashimoto is to find a way to make Katsuragi suffer a big setback in the special exam, preferably to seriously damage his prestige.

After this special exam is over, it will be Arisu Sakayanagi's turn. She plans to use this time to complete a major integration of her classmates, and then she can devote herself to dealing with Class A, which is ranked ahead, and take back the ranking that originally belonged to her.

After hearing the school's announcement that day, Hashimoto Masayoshi met a man on the deck. That man was Ryuen Sho, who had never given up fighting for control of the class since the beginning of school.

Perhaps because the other party was involved in two suspension incidents, Hashimoto remembered the other party's name, but what he did not expect was that the other party took the initiative to find him at that time.

"You're a member of the Sakayanagi faction, right?"

"Yes, I wonder if you have any advice?"

"I heard that Sakayanagi and Katsuragi from your class are fighting fiercely. How about we make a deal?"

When Long Yuanxiang saw the other party stop, he knew that this was a very suitable opportunity and he must find a way to increase his authority within the class.

"What deal?"

"Don't you realize what we're about to face? There might be a very important exam coming up."

After hearing the broadcast and seeing the cruise ship circling the island, Long Yuanxiang also guessed that the school might be preparing to hold some special exams. However, he currently had no bargaining chips, so he could only use this discovery as an anchor for his proposal of cooperation and put forward his own plan.

After hearing Ryuen's guess, Hashimoto Masayoshi on the opposite side immediately realized that this guy had some ability. Anyway, his plan required a partner, and perhaps this was a good opportunity.

So the two of them had a basis for communication and reached an initial cooperation plan.

After the detailed special exam rules were revealed, Hashimoto Masayoshi immediately understood what to do, so he found the Class D camp alone while his classmates were searching for supplies.

"Ryuuen, is what you just said true? Is this guy really here to provide the name of the leader of Class B?" After hearing the other party's explanation, Ibuki's pretty face showed obvious distrust.

"Of course, I've already said that he is currently our class's partner, and he came here just to complete the cooperation."

Long Yuanxiang smiled, his eyes swept over the other people in the camp, and said in a deep voice: "I have always emphasized that I am the most suitable person to be the class leader. I will prove it to you in this exam!"

"This Hashimoto-san is only part of the plan. After he tells us who the class leader of Class B is, we will also need to obtain the names of the leaders of Class A and Class C."

"As long as we get the names of all the class leaders, victory in this exam will be ours!"

"Is such a thing really possible?"

"According to the rules, the name of each class leader should be the most important secret within the class. How can it be so easy to find out? Are you kidding me?"

The classmates were a little bit unconvinced. After all, Long Yuan had always given people the impression of being a violent gang leader. Now he was actively using his wisdom to make suggestions, which caught everyone off guard.

"Before I explain my plan, let's have this Hashimoto-san tell us the name of the leader of their class. I'm sure everyone is curious about why you made such a treacherous decision, right?"

Ryuen Sho did not respond to everyone's doubts, but instead signaled with his eyes that it was Hashimoto's turn to perform.

"That's true, but the reason is not complicated at all. I simply reached a cooperative relationship with Long Yuan-san. We each get what we need. Is this reason acceptable to you?"

Following the ideas he had discussed with Ryuen earlier, Hashimoto explained to the students in Class D, "I've personally checked the leader's keycard, so there's no way it's wrong. However, since it's Ryuen-san I'm working with, I can only tell you the name."

The blond boy looked at Ibuki who was standing next to him and realized that she was the current leader of Class D. However, helping Ryuuen improve the class's prestige was the reward she wanted, so he had no choice but to do it.

"you!"

After hearing the other party's obvious hint, Ibuki Mio's face became anxious, and she immediately said: "Ryuen is not the class leader of our class. If you have any cooperation plans, please tell me."

"Hey, why are you so anxious now? It won't matter if I'm the only one who knows. Didn't I already tell you that I will help Class D win this exam?"

After seeing the other party's anxious expression, Long Yuanxiang thought that his plan had begun to take effect. He looked at the expressions of others and realized that everyone should be thinking about the pros and cons of this matter, so he prepared to add fuel to the fire.

He first glanced at Hashimoto Masayoshi, then instructed the students in Class D, "Since Hashimoto-san has decided to tell me his name, let's go somewhere else first. I'll come back after I get the answer."

The two men walked out of Class D's camp and found a secluded place to talk.

"I can tell you my plan, which will definitely help you achieve your goal."

"All ears."

Hashimoto Masayoshi smiled slightly. When they were on the boat, the two of them only established a basic intention of cooperation, and he was not very clear about Ryuen Sho's specific plan.

After Ryuuen finished explaining, the blond boy nodded and said thoughtfully, "That's a good idea indeed. Let's do it according to your idea."

After saying this, the student from Class B quickly turned around and left.

Hashimoto knew very well that everything Ryuuen was doing was to enhance his authority in the class, so he had to produce results. He didn't have to worry about him denying his actions after telling this guy his name. As long as the plan was carried out smoothly, the Katsuragi faction would suffer a huge blow.

After Hashimoto left, Ryuen Sho returned to the camp. Facing everyone's gazes, his expression became even more complacent: "Now that I know who the leader of Class B is, it's time to explain the plan I have in mind. Don't you all want to win this exam?"

Although Ibuki Mio was unhappy, she glanced at everyone in the camp and found that after Hashimoto's appearance just now, her classmates seemed to agree with Ryuen Sho's attitude, so she had to suppress her emotions temporarily and wanted to hear what this guy's plan was.

"My plan is to create the illusion that the class has given up, and then use a desperate counterattack to achieve victory!"

"Everyone should understand after reading the rules. As long as you live on this island, you will always be subject to the rules and your points will continue to be depleted. Therefore, the normal way to deal with it is to try to be patient and reduce the use of points."

"But don't forget, the rules state that once your exam points reach zero, no further points will be deducted. This means that after reaching this stage, you can move around the island completely without restrictions."

"Ryuen-san means... that he plans to hide on the island?" Someone quickly understood his idea. It was the class's strategist, Shiina Hiyori.

"That's right. Conventional methods won't work if we want to get the names of the leaders of other classes. We can have most people forfeit and return to the cruise ship, creating the illusion that our class has given up on the exam," Ryuen Sho looked at Ibuki, who had a serious expression, and continued, "And those who remain on the island will be our ambush. Furthermore, to ensure the perfect plan for finding the leaders, we'll also need to send undercover agents to the other two classes."

"Undercover?"

"The purpose of being an undercover agent is to sneak into other classes' camps and find an opportunity to secretly check the names on the key cards," Ryuen Sho looked at Sakagami Kazuma standing next to him and asked him, "Even if most of the class has returned to the cruise ship, those who remain on the island can still take the exam, right?"

"Yes, there are no restrictions on this rule," Sakagami Kazuma nodded. "If your goal is to guess the leader in the final stage, then the students who remain on the island must include the leader."

"Of course, this is the key to victory."

Ryuen Sho looked at Shiina Hiyori who had just spoken. After arriving on the island, the students in Class D had already discussed the candidate for leader, and it was none other than Shiina Hiyori, the class's strategist. They did not choose Ibuki Mio as the class leader, also for the purpose of reducing risks.

"The core of this plan is the lurker on the island. Since I have to suffer, the best candidate is me who proposed this plan!" Long Yuan's tone rose a lot. This was an idea he had thought of a long time ago. In order to increase his authority in the class, he would not care about suffering this little bit.

"This is the awareness I have. Whether it's spending the night on the island or finding food, it's all up to me."

"How about it? Do you understand what I mean now?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone in Class D froze. If they really did this, the others would return to the cruise ship to live a comfortable life, but Ryuen Sho would have to survive alone in the wilderness on the island, which was not an easy task.

"I see. If we really follow this idea, it can indeed achieve unexpected results. It seems you have given it careful consideration, Ryuen."

After Sakagami Kazuma understood the operation mode of this plan, he highly appreciated Ryuen Sho's idea. Class D is now ranked last in the class. If they don't take drastic measures, they will not be able to catch up with the classes in front.

Just when everyone was silent, Long Yuanxiang then proposed to everyone how to implement this plan. There was a very important temptation in it that no one could resist.

This is his deeper purpose in taking this exam, which not only allows him to gain authority in the class, but also to obtain the most crucial benefits.

Chapter 149 Ibuki Mio: I am the leader!

After Ryuuen explained all his plans, all the students in the class fell silent, because he had taken almost every aspect into consideration. If the plan was successfully implemented, perhaps Class D could really make a comeback.
