This is really bad luck.

Chapter 154: Class D wants to give up the exam?

Although they met Kushida Kikyo and Horikita Suzune on the roadside, a special exam for class competition was being held, so after a brief glance, they quickly parted ways.

Everyone knows very well that at this stage it is best not to have too much contact with students from other classes. If there is too much contact, it is very likely that information will be leaked unknowingly, so everything needs to be done with greater caution.

Entering the forest, Hashima Hikaru and Ichinose Honami continued to collect supplies and herbs on the island. After seeing that the black-haired girl looked a little strange, the boy decided to make some cold medicine as soon as possible, as it might be useful in the future.

In addition to collecting supplies, the two did not stop exploring the base and other class camps. When they came across a suitable hillside, Mitsuru Hashima would quickly climb up and observe the nearby scenery.

After a busy period, it was already noon. According to the agreement made within the class, students who went out to explore and collect supplies had to plan their itinerary according to the time shown on their watches.

After setting off in the morning, we have to return to the camp for the first assembly at noon, followed by a second assembly before dinner, and finally we wait together in the camp for the roll call time specified in the manual.

No one agreed to use the test points to exchange for dry food that could be carried with them, so in order to replenish their energy and water, they had to return to the camp.

"Guang, it's almost twelve o'clock now. We should go back." The pink-haired girl wiped the sweat from her forehead and greeted Hashima Guang with a smile, "We can't let everyone wait for us."

"Ah."

Mitsuru Hashima nodded. He and Ichinose Honami set out around nine in the morning, but they still hadn't found a suitable target.

Thinking of this, the boy couldn't help but think of the new prop that was refreshed in the system bar yesterday.

【Lucky charm.】

Although this requires 20,000 system funds, if it can really improve luck, perhaps this exam can be made easier?

Mitsuru Hashima pondered for a while and decided to try exchanging it when searching next time, hoping to increase his chances of reaping the fruits of victory in this exam.

After the two returned to the camp, the students who stayed in the camp were preparing today's lunch in an orderly manner. Although forty people were a lot of people, fortunately the kitchenware set they exchanged was designed to cope with large groups, so there would not be any particular difficulties in cooking.

"Hashima-san, Ichinose-san, you're finally back!"

When some classmates saw them come back, they quickly gathered around them, and some of them had expressions of relief on their faces.

"What's going on here?"

After putting down the resources they had collected, Hashima Hikaru and Ichinose Honami were both a little confused.

"Actually, Yonezu-san and the others discovered something very strange, so everyone is waiting for you to come back and make a decision."

"?"

"Mr. Yonezu, what did you find out?" Hikaru Hashima looked at several boys who came out from among their classmates. The one standing in the middle was Haruto Yonezu, a boy who was usually quite active in the class.

"It's about Class D."

Haruto Yonezu's expression was a little serious. After all, when he was taking his companions to the forest to collect supplies, he suddenly saw his classmates lining up and walking out of the forest. Upon closer inspection, he found that they were all members of Class D.

In order to confirm what happened, Yonezu and two classmates immediately decided to follow them, and eventually found that the students in Class D had actually returned directly to the beach where they left the island yesterday.

Not only that, they also packed up some items that they might have exchanged earlier, returned them all to the staff stationed on the shore, and then lined up one by one to walk up the boarding ladder.

"Are you saying that all the students in Class D have returned to the ship?"

Hikaru Hashima instantly understood what the other party meant, and immediately grasped the key point and asked, "Have you counted the number of people?"

"...As for this one, since we were a bit far away, we couldn't see everyone's face clearly, but it looks like everyone has gone back."

Haruto Yonezu was completely shocked by the scene at the time, so he didn't have time to confirm the details.

“No headcount?”

Ichinose Honami understood what the boy was worried about. After all, if all the members of Class D really withdrew from the exam, it would mean that Class A would have one less enemy.

"However, we later took some remedial measures regarding this."

Looking at the expressionless Hashima Hikaru, Yonezu Haruto quickly added, "After seeing them all return to the cruise ship, we immediately turned back into the forest and headed in the direction their main group had come from."

"Yes." Sumida Makoto, who had chimed in, took over the conversation and said to everyone, "The three of us kept going in this direction and finally found the place where Class D had set up camp."

"It turns out their campsite has been completely cleared. There are signs of campfires and other signs of camping, so we can conclude that this is where Class D originally set up camp."

"I see."

After hearing this explanation, Mitsuru Hashima nodded. If the campsite had really been confirmed, then it could be used as a basis for making a judgment.

After all, every student who quits will lose 30 points for the exam, and if a maximum of ten people have all the points deducted, and the camp has been cleaned up, it is unlikely that there will be anyone left here. This is unreasonable.

"So, everyone in Class D has really given up on the exam..."

Ichinose Honami still found it a little hard to believe. After all, this was the first special exam held since the start of the school year. As the last-place class, shouldn't they work harder to get a good class evaluation score in the exam?

"It should be." Mizu touched his hair. After handing this information to the two core figures in the class, he didn't need to deal with the rest of the matters.

"So, what do Hashima-san and Ichinose-san think? Should we give up on gathering intelligence on Class D now?"

"I need to think about this carefully. What do you think?"

Hashima Hikaru stroked his chin and glanced at the students in Class A: "I want to hear everyone's opinions."

"I think it should be true. After all, the camp is gone, and so many people have already returned to the ship, so the points must have been deducted directly."

"Yes, regardless of whether there are still people left on the island, Class D is destined to be last in this exam."

"Shouldn't we focus on Class C now? They're the only ones left."

Listening to everyone's inner thoughts, Hashima Hikaru turned her head to glance at Ichinose Honami beside her. The girl was also thinking about how to deal with the truth of this matter.

After all, she didn't see the team boarding the ship with her own eyes, but the three boys who saw it were unlikely to lie about such a thing, and they had always trusted Ichinose Honami, the people in their class.

"What do you think, Ichinose-san?"

"...I think that since the students in Class D have abandoned the camp, and many of them have already returned to the cruise ship, we can temporarily give up collecting intelligence on them." The pink-haired girl pursed her lips. After all, it would be a pure waste of energy to let everyone continue to collect intelligence on a class that had already given up on the exam.

"Well, I agree with that." Hashima Hikaru nodded and said to everyone in a deep voice, "Since Class D has already given up, and we already have information on Class B, in the next few days, I would like to ask all the members who are collecting information to focus most of their energy on Class C."

"However, in order to ensure that our final prediction of the leader list is correct, we still need someone to monitor Class B. This is to confirm the leader's physical condition and to prevent the possibility of a leader change mid-course. Do you understand?"

"clear."

The students in Class A immediately expressed their attitudes actively. After learning that Class D had given up, everyone was in a very good mood. After all, they already had the name of Class B's leader, Hikaru Hashima. As long as they could get the name of Class C's leader, victory in the exam would belong to their class.

"Well, everyone come and help with the cooking. After lunch, we'll continue with the next round of resource exploration."

When everyone started to get busy again in the camp, Mitsuru Hashima walked to the open space where he had just placed the herbs. As a storage place for the resources that had been cleared, he needed to check the harvest of half a day.

After exchanging for the skill of [Wilderness Survival (Master)], the boy did a lot in the past two days. In addition to teaching everyone how to identify some edible wild vegetables and fruits, he also collected some herbs and made insect repellents, etc.

In addition, Hashima Hikaru also conducted multiple patrols around the camp and carried out a series of checks and fill in the gaps, such as placing some shrubs that can make noises in various subtle places to better alert everyone.

After all, apart from the stronghold, other places on the island can be moved freely, so it cannot be ruled out that members of other classes will be lurking nearby to observe the situation in the camp.

"Hashima-san."

Ichinose Honami's voice called out from behind.

"what happened?"

"Would you like to come with me this afternoon to visit the former D class campsite?" Although Ichinose Honami had just agreed to the next arrangement, she was still a little concerned if she hadn't confirmed it with her own eyes.

"Okay, after checking the camp, let's go back to the beach and investigate everything."

Hashima Hikaru smiled, and in his heart he quite agreed with the girl's idea.

"Ah."

Chapter 155: Helping others? Letting the wolf in!

After lunch, the students who were assigned to collect intelligence and obtain supplies set off again. Hashima Hikaru and Ichinose Honami walked out of the camp together as planned. They had just asked Yonezu Haruto about the general direction of Class D's camp, so they knew how to go.

During such an important exam, it is never a bad thing to be cautious.

The two of them walked along the path in the forest in the direction pointed by Yonezu. After spending a night on this uninhabited island, both Hashima Hikaru and Ichinose Honami began to get used to the feeling of walking through the forest, and their steps became more steady.

"I didn't expect Guang to agree with my idea. I thought you would think it was a waste of time."

Ichinose Honami leaned against Hashima Hikaru's shoulder and expressed her doubts with a chuckle.

"Being cautious is a good quality, especially in an exam like this where you need to pry into the opponent's intelligence. I think it's quite good to have such an attitude. As expected of Ichinose-san."

However, after he said this, Ichinose Honami did not respond, but stared at his face silently.

"..."

Hikaru Hashima immediately realized what was happening, smiled, and then said, "As expected of Honoka, you consider things very comprehensively."

"I think as long as we all work together, we will definitely be able to win this exam."

After the boy called out her name, Ichinose Honami's pretty face blossomed into an even brighter smile, and she expressed that she would definitely lead everyone to win this exam.

"Well, that's what I thought too."

After walking for more than ten minutes, the two finally arrived at the place that Yonezu Haruto mentioned, which was where Class D had originally camped.

After passing through the towering bushes, you will see a fairly wide open space that has been artificially opened up. Although there is no stream flowing through it, it still looks quite nice.

There are many trees and vegetation surrounding it, which not only provide shade but also prevent students from other classes from snooping.

"This must be the trace of the campfire."

Mitsuru Hashima squatted down and carefully touched the black substance remaining on the ground with his hand. To light a bonfire, you need to pile up wood underneath and have something to start the fire.

Although the air in the forest circulates frequently and there is not much residual scent here, it can be judged from the various traces of activities on the ground that people have indeed lived here.

"It seems to be true."

Ichinose Honami walked over from the shade of the tree next to her, holding a transparent plastic bag with an introduction to the types of meat products written on it.

"These should be the supplies they exchanged. It seems they forgot to clean them up."

"Well, you really gave up on the exam?"

Hashima Hikaru couldn't help but think of Ibuki Mio's face. Would this short-haired girl who looked more unyielding than any boy really agree to such a class strategy?

Or do they feel that such an exam is ultimately unwinnable, and it is better to give up early rather than suffer?

Except for selling the rules to Class D at the beginning of the school year, the boy spent the next few months in contact with Shiina Hiyori, and it was in the library, so he was not quite sure what the current situation in Class D was.

"Anyway, we've checked everything here. Next, let's go back to the beach and take a look."

Hikaru Hashima stood up and brushed the dust off his pants. Since he had decided to confirm the information in this regard, he had to do it to the end.

When we returned to the beach at the bottom of the island, there was basically no change. Large tents were placed in the shade, and people in work clothes were walking around, some staring at the computer screens in front of them.

Since the school dares to hold a seven-day survival test here, the relevant guarantees naturally need to be turned on around the clock. Whether it is watches or various stronghold instruments placed in the forest, these all need to be monitored constantly.

"Look over there."

Ichinose Honami and Hashima Hikaru stood under the shady tree, looking out at the cruise ship deck ahead.

As expected, there were actually quite a few students playing and joking on the deck. Everyone looked very relaxed. Some of them were leaning on the railing with a drink in hand, enjoying the sea breeze, appearing to be in a very leisurely vacation mood.

"..."

Ichinose Honami naturally saw the scene on the deck and murmured to herself, "Looks like we can go back now. They really have given up."

"Well, let's go."

After confirming both links, Hashima Hikaru and Ichinose Honami returned along the same route. It was still early for dinner, so they could continue walking around.

However, by coincidence, the two people who were moving in the forest actually found their classmate Shibata and two other girls beside a wider road.

"Hashima-san! Ichinose-san!"

When the two extremely familiar figures appeared in his field of vision, Shibata rushed towards the boy as if he had seen a life-saving straw.

"What's wrong? Why are you so excited?" Hikaru Hashima ignored the enthusiastic Shibata Sa and turned his gaze to the other two girls. They both had expressions as if they wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.

"What are you doing..." Ichinose Honami was also confused, but soon she saw a strange figure under the trees in front of her.

It was a girl holding her backpack. She had brown pigtails and was sitting on the ground without saying a word.

"This is?"

"We found her when we were collecting supplies just now. She's Saki Yamashita from Class D."

Shibata took the two of them to the open space nearby and explained in a low voice.

"Class D? Didn't everyone in Class D withdraw from the exam?" Ichinose Honami's expression changed slightly, and he immediately asked, "Could it be that this student hasn't given up on the exam yet?"
