"I think Ryuen's plan is good. If it goes well, we can get more private points."
"Yeah, this guy turned out to be a brainiac? I really couldn't tell."
Just as the classmates were talking about it, Shiina Hiwa walked up to the short-haired girl. As the current class leader and strategist, they had a very good relationship and often discussed how to better help the class.
"Shiina, what do you think of this guy's plan?"
"It's really impressive. If we can proceed smoothly, we might be able to get a lot of points." The gray-haired girl nodded, but she thought of another problem.
"But I think Ryuen-san actually missed a point, which may be a risk."
"Oh, I don't know what you're talking about?"
Ryuen Sho knew that Shiina Hiyori was very smart, so he wanted to hear her ideas.
"According to what Ryuuen just outlined, in order to ensure the successful completion of our plan, Ryuuen needs to stay undercover on the island to monitor the situation and liaise with the selected undercover agents. Finally, you will be in charge of guessing the leaders of each class. Is that correct?"
"Yes."
"In order to ensure that the name of our class leader is not revealed, the best way is for Ryuuen-san to hold the key card as the leader. But... what if Ryuuen-san is discovered?"
As someone who often reads mystery novels, Shiina Hiwa's way of thinking is quite rigorous: "Although you can move around the island without restrictions, there is no complete guarantee that you will never be discovered, right? After all, there are always exceptions."
"Once Ryuen-san's whereabouts are noticed, our lies will be exposed instantly, and a fatal problem will ensue."
Shiina Hiyori slowly spoke to the crowd, "If someone discovers you, their first reaction will be that our class hasn't really given up on the exam, and they'll further speculate that you are the leader."
"That's a reasonable inference, right? Ryuuen-san?"
"..."
When this analysis was made by Shiina Hiyori, Ryuen Sho's expression changed instantly.
Indeed, when he first conceived the plan, it was based on the premise that he would not be discovered, but now that Shiina pointed it out, this angle is indeed quite valuable.
Although this artificial island looks large, his two original plans were to make contact with people.
Whether it is a transaction with Class B or contacting undercover members, you need to show up in person. If someone sees through the undercover and follows you, there is a certain risk of exposure.
After listening to Shiina Hiyori's analysis, Ibuki, who was standing next to her, glanced at the girl's expression and immediately spoke to everyone.
"If that's the case, then I have another idea."
"What idea?" Long Yuan raised his eyebrows.
"I'm going to stay on the island and hide, too," Ibuki Mio's eyes gleamed with determination. This was the answer she came up with on the spot. "The keycard can't be given to undercover members, so let me hold it."
"If we all stay on the island, even if someone eventually discovers our whereabouts, we can still obfuscate our plans. After all, one more person creates a level of uncertainty, and they won't be able to directly guess who our class leader is with such high confidence."
Ibuki thought about his ideas in his mind. If he really wanted to carry out this plan, he must help the class increase their chances of winning.
Besides, this guy dares to live on the island alone, so why can't I?
Because she has had a strong mentality of not giving in to men since she was a child, the short-haired girl has always maintained regular exercise. She has a good physical fitness and only needs to survive on the island for seven days. Ibuki believes that she can hold on.
"I see. It's a very good plan indeed. But if we really want to do this, do you think you can handle it?" Ryuuen's face showed a bit of contempt. "This is not camping, Ibuki-san."
"Don't forget that I am the class leader. If you can do it, why can't I?"
"Since this plan is really beneficial to the class, I must also implement my own plan to help the class win!" Ibuki Mio's attitude was very firm.
"..."
Looking at the other person's expression, Long Yuan was silent for a while, then said: "Then it's up to you. I won't be your nanny."
"Now... let's pick our undercover."
-
At the same time, in the dense forest, Mitsuru Hashima was leading the two girls over various obstacles along the way, walking towards the place he had discovered through a man-made road.
"How's it going, Ichinose-san, Ando-san, can you still hold on?"
The boy tilted his head. As a male in the team, he naturally needed to pay attention to the status of his teammates at all times.
"It's okay. I'm not too tired now. You don't have to worry about me, Hashima-san." A few drops of sweat dripped down the pink-haired girl's forehead. She was quite capable in sports, so she didn't look too uncomfortable.
"I'm fine too. This distance can't make me give in!" A funny and determined expression appeared on Ando Sayo's little face, trying to find joy in the midst of suffering.
After confirming that there was no problem with the two people's condition, Hashima Hikaru nodded slightly, and the trio continued to move forward.
As an artificial island reclaimed by the school, the resources and area divisions on it are actually quite clear.
Although the forests and hillsides, lakes and streams, and various natural landscapes seem to have no connection with each other, once you go deeper into them, you will find many traces of artificial development, perhaps to prevent the staff from getting lost?
But these people should have very detailed maps in their hands.
After walking for more than ten minutes, Hashima Hikaru, Ichinose Honami, and Ando Sayo, their minds constantly jumping, finally saw a bright light in front of them. After passing through the bushes covered with vegetation, a clearing seemed to appear in front of them.
"It seems to be an open space, and then... a cave?" Several people looked at the situation ahead.
"It seems we have to go inside the cave to confirm whether this is the base." Ichinose Honami wiped the sweat from his forehead.
But at this moment, two figures suddenly walked out of the cave entrance, one tall and one short.
"Hide now!"
Hashima Hikaru quickly lowered his voice and dragged the two girls to the bushes behind and squatted down.
Taking advantage of the gaps between the mottled trees, the three people peeked forward with their heads lowered, and then they saw a very eye-catching bald head.
"Katsuragi?"
Chapter 150: Cautious Katsuragi?
Hashima Hikaru, Ichinose Honami, and Ando Sayo squatted together in the bushes, peeking out through the mottled gaps. The two figures standing outside the cave not far away were naturally clearly captured by the three of them.
The bald man is naturally Katsuragi Kōhei, one of the current leaders of Class B, and the boy standing behind him is his follower Totsuka Yahiko.
Hashima Hikaru and Ichinose Honami had talked with them face to face before, so at this not-too-far distance, Pi would definitely not make a mistake. Not only that, he could even hear faint voices coming from over there.
"Katsuragi-san, we're so lucky! We didn't expect to capture a stronghold so quickly."
"luck?"
Katsuragi Kohei asked back, then said, "I actually discovered this place when I was on the boat, so I immediately brought everyone here."
"I see, Katsuragi-san is truly amazing."
"Instead of flattering me, you should pay more attention to your words and actions, Yahiko."
Although Kōhei Katsuragi was talking to Yahiko Totsuka, he was not looking at the other person's face, but was instead scanning the surrounding environment with his own eyes.
"There are too many hidden places in the forest. To prevent people from other classes from eavesdropping or peeping, you must always avoid exposing your information. You need to be more careful with your words."
"I see."
"As the current class leader and leader, in addition to serving the class, I've also been given the responsibility of supervising everyone. Do you understand?"
"I will concentrate, please rest assured, Katsuragi-san." Totsuka Yahiko nodded heavily.
"Anyway, since the school has given us a hint, we must work harder on the exam and get more points."
After Katsuragi Kōhei finished his last words, his eyes still did not move away from the bushes in front of him. The three people hiding in it could always feel each other's gazes drifting back and forth.
However, before setting off, Mitsuru Hashima had already emphasized this matter to all members of the team, so the current tense situation did not affect everyone's mentality. After squatting down, the three of them remained motionless and did not make any sound.
After Katsuragi Kohei inspected the place for a few minutes, he called on Yahiko Totsuka next to him to return to the cave together. Since this place had already become their occupied stronghold, they had to make the most of it.
After seeing the other party's figure completely disappear, the three people slowly crawled out of the bushes.
"Huh, that was incredible just now. Katsuragi-san kept looking over here. I was afraid he would come over." Ichinose Honami's pretty face had a blush on it and she was breathing in small breaths, looking quite adorable.
"Is this the leader of Class B, Katsuragi? His aura really seems special." Ando Sayo had been worried and hiding her figure timidly. She squatted at a lower angle, and there seemed to be a small piece of wood stuck in her hair.
"And...you all saw it, right?"
The conversation between Kōhei Katsuragi and Yahiko Totsuka fell into the ears of the trio almost word for word. Not only that, a more crucial piece of information was revealed.
When he was speaking just now, he was holding an emerald green card in his hand.
This is the key card held by the leader of each class.
"Yes, Katsuragi just said that he is the class leader and leader of Class B, and he happened to have a key card in his hand." Ichinose Honami gently removed the small piece of wood from Ando's hair and continued, "Could he be the leader of Class B?"
"Could it be that the intelligence collection has yielded results so quickly?" Ando also remembered the scene just now. She touched her hair and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.
"Not necessarily. I've met Ichinose-san and Katsuragi-san several times. As one of the leaders currently competing with Sakayanagi for control of the class, he tends to be more stable."
Hikaru Hashima stroked his chin and slowly analyzed the situation to the two girls, "And that behavior just now seemed deliberate. Taking the key card and saying he was the leader was a bit too blunt."
"So what does Hashima-san mean?" Ichinose Honami blinked. Having been with him for so long, the girl could probably guess what he was thinking.
"Of course we're going to go in and take a look. The manual stipulates that you can't use an occupied base without permission, but it shouldn't be a violation if we go in to confirm the occupation status."
"I see. This is also part of gathering intelligence. It also allows us to take the opportunity to spy on their situation." Ando Sayo nodded and quickly understood how to operate in order to gain the greatest benefit.
"Then let's go in together. I'll stand at the front, and Ichinose-san and Ando-san can just stand behind me." Hashima Hikaru anticipated the various situations that might arise and advised the two girls, "As the class that has already occupied this stronghold, they will definitely not give in. There might even be a conflict."
"Ah...are they going to chase us away?"
"Haha, since Katsuragi Kōhei is a leader who follows a prudent strategy, he probably wouldn't do something so foolish," Hashima Hikaru smiled and continued, "If he instigates the students in the class to use violence against us, that would be a violation of the rules."
"But nothing is absolute, so everyone should just follow me to prepare for any unexpected situations."
"Yeah, we understand."
The two girls nodded, then followed Hikaru Hashima into the cave. As a base set up by the school, this cave was probably formed naturally, but the interior must have been slightly modified to make it more convenient for students to store supplies.
After walking in the cave for a while, the footsteps of the trio instantly alerted the students in Class B. Some of them had already seen several strange figures walking in.
"Please wait a moment!"
The person who spoke was a boy. After seeing Hikaru Hashima and the two girls, he quickly used his body to block the three of them and said with a stern look on his face.
"We have occupied this stronghold. You can't go any further."
"Don't get me wrong, we're not here to seize the stronghold. We're just here to confirm its occupation."
Looking at the other person's expression, Hashima Hikaru said with a smile, "This doesn't violate the rules. Are you planning to forcibly deprive me of this power? That would be unreasonable."
"this..."
While the boy was hesitating, many students had already walked out behind him, led by Katsuragi Kohei.
"Hey, Katsuragi-san, good afternoon."
After seeing the serious square face, Mitsuru Hashima chose to greet him with a smile.
"Hashima-san?"
Katsuragi Kōhei stood at the front of the Class B students, and everyone else quickly lined up behind him, blocking the trio's view if they wanted to peek behind them.
"There's also Ichinose-san and one of your companions."
"Katsuragi-san, do you still remember me? It's an honor."
Although Ichinose Honami felt the tense atmosphere at the moment, she felt safe in her heart because Hashima Hikaru was by her side.
"What are you planning to do? This stronghold has been occupied by our class."
Although Katsuragi Kōhei had previously invited Hashima Hikaru and Ichinose Honami to form an alliance, it was no longer the time when school started, so the hostile attitude he showed was quite obvious.
"We certainly won't break the rules. The occupation of the stronghold is first come, first served, and we have accepted this fact."
Hashima Hikaru looked at the serious expression on Katsuragi's face and suddenly changed the subject, "But the rules don't say we can't come to confirm the occupation status of the base."
"Although you found the base first, words alone are not enough. If you want to prove that Class B has indeed occupied this place, of course you must let us see the base machine with our own eyes. Otherwise, what will happen if you are cheating?"
After the boy said this, Katsuragi didn't have time to respond, but Totsuka Yahiko, who was very close to him, had already angrily retaliated.
"What nonsense are you talking about? We have occupied this place a long time ago. This is an indisputable fact!"
"So, since you've already occupied this place, why can't you let us check the equipment?" Hashima Hikaru spread his hands helplessly. "We're all members of the upper class, so I think you should all understand the importance of rules."
"Inspecting the equipment isn't against the rules, and we have no intention of seizing your base. Do you understand what I mean?"
"you..."
Yahiko Totsuka, who wanted to continue arguing, was given a look to shut up by Katsuragi who was standing in the front, so he stopped talking.
"Hashima-san, is your purpose here to check the equipment?"
"Of course, I'll leave right after I finish watching. I won't stay any longer."
Hashima Hikaru still had a smile on his face as he slowly said to him, "Everything we did was in accordance with the rules. Could you please give me some relief, Katsuragi-san?"
