"..."
After a moment's silence, Katsuragi Kohei finally nodded. Although he wanted to kick all three of them out, the risk of doing so was too high.
As the core member of Class A, Hashima Hikaru left a deep impression on him, and it seemed that people from Sakayanagi's side also mentioned this name frequently, so he must not leave any handle when dealing with the other party.
If he really used violence to drive them out, it would leave too many hidden dangers, which was not in line with Katsuragi's usual style, so he chose to agree to this request.
"You can go check the equipment at the base, but only one person can go."
"can."
After Katsuragi Kōhei agreed, Hashima Hikaru talked to the two girls behind him for a few words, and they all agreed to let the boy go alone.
However, when Mitsuru Hashima started walking towards the innermost camp, two boys immediately appeared behind him and followed him. They were probably sent by Katsuragi to monitor him.
After walking for a while, a vertical white metal pole suddenly appeared in front of Mitsuru Hashima's eyes. On the top was a digital screen displaying several rows of different text information.
There are information descriptions about the stronghold and precautions for operation. The timer at the top shows the countdown of time, which should be to show everyone the eight-hour stronghold cycle rules.
"Occupant of this base: Class B."
"Now that you have seen it clearly, can you leave?" the boy behind him urged.
"Of course, I'm a very disciplined person."
After withdrawing his probing gaze, Hashima Hikaru returned along the same route very decisively. However, just as he approached Katsuragi, the boy suddenly muttered to himself in a voice that everyone could hear.
"Really? It turns out the device really doesn't leave any information about the leader on it. What a boring setup."
"!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Katsuragi Kohei's expression changed slightly. He seemed to glance in a certain direction subconsciously. Although the amplitude was small, it naturally could not escape the eyes of those who were paying attention.
"hehe."
Hashima Hikaru smiled slightly in her heart, and then walked back to Ichinose Honami and Ando Sayo as if nothing had happened.
Chapter 151: A Little Warmth in the Camp
"Thank you for your generosity, Katsuragi-san. This is what a class leader should be like."
After getting the answer he wanted, Hashima Hikaru spoke to Katsuragi Kōhei with a smile.
"You'd better leave quickly. You are not welcome here." Katsuragi Kohei did not respond to the boy's compliment and coldly ordered the three people to leave.
"Okay, let's go then."
Led by Mitsuru Hashima, the two girls quickly walked out of the cave. Although they were very curious about the instrument the boy had just seen, they did not choose to ask questions at this time. The best decision was to leave quickly.
After the three figures completely disappeared, Totsuka Yahiko walked over to Katsuragi Kohei and explained awkwardly, "Sorry, Katsuragi-san, I just lost my composure..."
"I hope you really realize your mistake and never make it again!"
Katsuragi Kohei's tone was quite stern as he reprimanded Totsuka Yahiko, "From now on, until the end of the exam, if anyone from other classes comes to spy on our base, you are not allowed to initiate a conversation. Do you understand?"
"I understand. I don't think I'll make the same mistake again."
Yahiko Totsuka's attitude of expressing his determination is still very positive, but no one can really know how far he can go.
---
The three members of Class A walked a long way out of the cave before stopping. Seeing a sudden smile on the boy's face, Ichinose Honami and Ando Sayo were both a little surprised.
"What's going on? Why are you so happy, Hashima-san?"
"Because we gained a lot from this trip."
Hashima Hikaru smiled and said to the two girls, "Actually, when we saw Katsuragi Kōhei at the cave entrance just now, we couldn't tell if he was the real leader. But what I said just now deliberately revealed his flaws."
"Really?" Ando Sayo's little face showed an expression of great anticipation, and she stared at the boy's face blankly.
"Is that the last sentence that Hashima-san deliberately said to herself? I thought at the time that this sentence must have some deep meaning." A smile appeared on Ichinose Honami's lips.
"Yes, that's exactly what I said."
Hashima Hikaru looked back at the cave entrance, which was now quite far away, and explained to the two, "Although we saw Katsuragi Kohei at the cave entrance and the key card in his hand, this cannot be used as a basis for our judgment because we didn't see the name on it."
"So I guess since he took the initiative to do this, he might have done it on purpose," the boy paused and continued, "but my initial probing words just now made him almost instinctively glance at a classmate next to him."
"And this student just happened to appear at the cave entrance at the same time as Katsuragi. If they were inseparable to protect the key card, then the answer is obvious."
"I see. It's Totsuka-san, right?"
Ichinose Honami thought about it for a moment and quickly came up with her own answer.
"I see. I think I understand what Katsuragi-san means. Keep the leader by your side, and then make yourself the main target to attract other people's attention, right?" Ando Sayo also followed everyone's thinking, with excitement flashing in her eyes.
"Yes, the leader of Class B is Totsuka Yahiko."
Hashima Hikaru made the final conclusion. After all, he watched the scene very carefully. When he took the initiative to mention the word "leader", Katsuragi almost subconsciously glanced to the side. There was only Totsuka Yahiko in that direction.
Human instincts never lie. In order to confirm his status as the class leader, he exposed this fact on the spot.
"In this case, wouldn't we have gained a significant advantage? As expected of Hashima-san, you really have a good brain."
"Yeah, I think so too."
The pink-haired girl stared at the profile of Hashima Hikaru, her eyes filled with affection that had never changed.
"It was just a fluke. We should hurry back to camp. We can review the situation with the remaining two teams tonight and formulate a follow-up action plan."
The trio returned along the same direction they had come. After going through it once, everyone's speed increased a lot, and they returned to Class A's camp not long after.
"It's Hashima-san!"
"And Ichinose-san and Ando-san, you're back."
When the students who stayed behind in the camp saw the familiar figure, they immediately gathered around. Everyone had an expression of great anticipation on their faces, wanting to hear if they had gained any important information.
"Where are the other two groups of students?" Hikaru Hashima's eyes swept across the camp.
"Kanzaki-kun and the others have returned, but it seems they've gone out to collect supplies again," explained the students standing closer, "and Shibata-kun and the others haven't returned yet."
"I see."
The boy nodded. He glanced at the time on his watch and then at the brightness of the sky.
Because it is summer, it will not get dark until around seven or eight o'clock. There is still some time before roll call, so we can make full use of it.
"Well, how about this, did everyone gather any herbs or plants today? I'll come and identify them. Maybe they'll be useful."
He decided to make full use of the [Wilderness Survival (Master)] he had exchanged before. Whether it was for preventing diseases or testing food safety, it could ensure that his classmates had access to more resources, which was a very important way to save test points.
"Yes, it's over there. Come with me, Hashima-kun."
"Ah."
While the boy was carefully examining the herbs his classmates had dug up from the forest, Ichinose Honami and Ando Sayo were also busy. Everyone was actively contributing their efforts to serve the class. This is what a united group should do most when facing an exam.
After the evening roll call was over, everyone finished their meal and assigned some students to carry out the fumigation with the insect repellent herbs that Hikaru Ueshima had just prepared. This not only left a lingering fragrance in the camp, but also reduced the chance of mosquitoes approaching.
Because there is a stream passing through the camp, everyone has set up temporary washing areas long ago. Boys and girls maintain an orderly system for physical hygiene, while others are cleaning kitchen utensils or organizing and counting the supplies obtained today.
Mitsuru Hashima sat on the small hill behind the camp, looking up at the scenery below. He had just talked with the other two members who went out to find a base and made an action plan for tomorrow.
"Hashima-san?"
Just as the boy was relaxing his body, a very familiar fragrance suddenly came from behind him. It was Ichinose Honami.
The other person seemed to have taken a shower and was walking behind Hikaru Hashima in a thin short-sleeved shirt. Since it was night, the campfire in the camp could only illuminate part of her face, but it did not affect the girl's beauty at all.
"What's wrong?" asked Hashima Hikaru softly.
"I want to chat with Hashima-san, is that okay?" The girl's voice was very soft.
"Of course, but..."
Just after Hashima Hikaru said the word "OK", Ichinose Honami quickly sat down next to the boy and rested her little head directly on his shoulder.
"Uh... So this is how you chat?"
"Yes, I have a lot to say to Hashima-san, is that okay?" The pink-haired girl blinked her still bright eyes and stared straight at Hashima Hikaru's face.
"..."
"alright."
Even if they are not romantic, they can still provide each other with some warmth in this strange wild environment.
Hikaru Hashima took the initiative to move closer to Ichinose Honami so that she could lean on him better, and said gently, "Then let's chat, Ichinose-san."
"Uh-huh."
Summary and review of May
Hello everyone, this is the author.
May has come to an end. This month I have continued to update without taking any leave. I have updated about 17 words in total, which can be regarded as the fulfillment of my promise last month.
About review.
I will read every comment and post. I can accept it whether it is a discussion of the plot or a complaint, but I still hope that no swearing will be used.
During this period, readers' opinions can be roughly divided into two parts.
The first is to set the purchase of physical strength as the main direction of improvement for the male protagonist. My idea about this is actually very simple. The male protagonist does not know what special tests will happen later, so most skills will not be purchased unless there is an urgent need. Improving from a physically weak person to one with excellent physical strength in a short period of time is his initial choice.
If I make you look speechless or unhappy, it is indeed because I did not think it through clearly. I hope you can forgive me.
The second issue is about the slow plot progression. In this regard, my plan is to allocate time for the plots of each heroine. The distance between them and the development of the emotional lines all require a process, and it is impossible for them to fall in love with the hero right away.
Perhaps the description of details is not very good, so it seems a bit too slow. I will slowly speed up, so please forgive me.
About the follow-up.
After two months, although the subscription data of this book has dropped seriously, I think as long as there are still people reading it, it will not be discontinued.
Recently I found that many books of the same type have been discontinued. A friend suggested that if the data of my book is too bad, I should just stop and there is no need to continue.
But I still say that this is my first book on the shelf. It is everyone's freedom to keep the book or abandon it. If I am not capable enough to attract everyone to keep reading, then let me work hard slowly.
The key is to write a finished book as a basis for my confidence, so I will continue to write.
Tomorrow is Children's Day. I wish you all a happy holiday.
Thank you to the readers who have always supported us.
Love you guys.
Chapter 152: Ichinose, who wanted to call her by her name
Inside Class A's camp, the students have already completed the basic work for today.
After lighting the bonfire and cleaning themselves, the students did not immediately go into the tent to rest. After experiencing the sudden special exam, everyone now had a lot to say to others, so they formed small circles and chatted lively.
There are no strict rules in the manual about when we must go to bed, so it all depends on everyone's self-discipline. Besides, the class leader and core figures are not here at the moment, so everyone wants to play for a while longer.
At this moment, on the hillside behind the camp, Mitsumasa Hashima and Honami Ichinose were snuggling together. The girl handed her little hand to his, and the two communicated in a very light tone, not making loud noises.
"Hashima-san, do you think we can really win this time?"
"I think as long as we can unite as one, nothing is impossible. Haven't we already been named a class leader?"
"Indeed."
Ichinose Honami squeezed the boy's large hand, her tone tinged with relief. "Everyone was a little flustered at the beginning, but thanks to Hashima-san's leadership, we quickly calmed down. Even when we had to endure various discomforts, no one complained."
"So, I think it's really great to be assigned to this class."
Mitsuru Hashima looked out at the camp below and could vaguely hear everyone's laughter. He had already spent a semester with the students in Class A and had developed a strong sense of belonging to this group.
Although the students in Class A are not the best in terms of overall quality, they have certain qualities that other classes do not have, namely, unity and the ability to fully trust each other.
The young man had witnessed this several times. Now, under his and Ichinose Honami's leadership, everyone had smoothly passed two major exams, and the class evaluation score had stabilized at above 1000 points.
The point collection plan originally formulated has been progressing smoothly. After completing the initial sale of rules to three classes and collecting class points in the following three months, the personal points in Ichinose Honami's hands are about to break the 10 million mark.
Since the school organized this cruise trip during the summer vacation, everyone planned to collect points in August after returning to school. By then, the points should have exceeded 10 million.
As long as they can successfully collect 20 million personal points, if the classmates in the class are facing the crisis of being expelled, they can use this as evidence to turn things around. After all, both Hashima Hikaru and Ichinose Honami hope that no one will be left behind in the class.
"I think so too. It's truly a blessing to be able to meet you all here," Ichinose Honami's beautiful eyes shone with tenderness as she gazed at the boy's profile and spoke softly, "And... meeting Hashima-san is also a blessing."
