"Oh."

While eating, even though Saki Yamashita was holding the bowl, she still did not stop to observe the actions of the people in Class A.

The longer she observed, the more she was convinced that the real core of this group was indeed that Hashima-san.

Everyone in the class showed great trust in him. Although they were just having a simple meal, there were always many classmates around him, both male and female. Even if they were just saying a few simple words, everyone still enjoyed it.

The real class leader, the beautiful pink-haired girl, was the only one who could always sit next to him. The two of them were so close that their shoulders were even touching. It didn't look like they were just ordinary classmates.

However, the students in Class A had already gotten used to it and no one cared at all.

In addition to observing these two people, Saki Yamashita was also scanning the other students in the camp. After all, her goal was to get the leader's name, but she had not seen any trace of the key card yet, so she dared not make any judgment and could only wait for the opportunity to come.

After eating and drinking, everyone gathered in the camp quite consciously, waiting for the next speech by Hashima Hikaru.

Saki Yamashita was standing nearby, and she was also curious about what plan Hashima-san would announce.

"Today is our second day on the island, and there are still five days until the exam ends. So I think we can adjust our approach to the exam. I hope everyone will take what I'm going to say seriously and remember it. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask."

"The core of the adjustment is about the occupation of strongholds."

Hashima Hikaru glanced calmly at Yamashita Saki standing nearby and said to everyone, "I think everyone can give up occupying the stronghold for now."

"The stronghold itself represents a certain risk, and the points are not high. It also requires tedious repeated check-ins. For us now, gathering intelligence is actually a more efficient arrangement."

The boy didn't mention that he already knew the name of the Class B leader, but everyone understood what he meant.

"As long as you can guess the names of the other class leaders, it doesn't matter how many strongholds they control. The extra points will be reset to zero anyway, so there won't be any pressure to compete for the rankings."

"So I think reducing the workload is actually a good thing. I can focus more on other things. As for collecting supplies, it's still a normal operation. Do you understand?"

"I understand. Let's do as Hashima-san says."

Shibata glanced at Ichinose Honami next to him and Hashima Hikaru standing in the front. After spending so much time with them, he quickly understood why the boy made such a decision.

Maybe it has something to do with the classmate Yamashita who came to the camp today. After all, she is a member of another class.

"Yes, I have always believed that the school's real purpose in this exam is to gather intelligence and supplies."

"Then let's do it this way, everyone, come on."

"come on!"

This discussion did not cause any objections and was quickly passed unanimously. Just as the students began to disperse, Yamashita Saki, who was standing next to them, was completely confused.

Her original plan was to see how the students in Class A swiped their cards at the base. She had considered the possibility of many people coming together or forming a human wall to block the view from outside.

But these methods would at least provide some rough range of candidates, and now after hearing Hashima Mitsuru's plan to abandon the base, the girl was completely dumbfounded.

What should I do if these guys stop using key cards from now on?

Look for them one by one?

Isn't this asking too much...

Chapter 158: Weak Horikita Suzune

When the sky was just beginning to brighten, feeling the chill that still lingered in the air because the sun had not yet risen, the black-haired girl with a delicate face sat up from her bed.

She glanced at the watch that she had never taken off in the past few days. The current time was around half past six. As a very self-disciplined person who never sleeps in, Horikita Suzune basically wakes up very early every day.

Today is the third day of the uninhabited island exam. She touched her slightly hot forehead and sighed bitterly.

In fact, the girl had already discovered that there was something wrong with her body. She probably had some mild cold symptoms on the cruise ship, but at that time, Horikita Suzune never thought that the school would hold such a harsh uninhabited island exam.

But now that things have come to this, her unyielding nature immediately took over her mind after the special exam came, forcing Horikita Suzune to decide to rely on her own willpower to get through the exam.

After she quietly made her bed, she glanced at the girls in her class who were sleeping soundly around her, then reached out and touched the cold object in her pants. It was the key card for Class C's exam.

Yes, Horikita Suzune is actually the leader of Class C. When the class discussed this topic, for some reason this heavy responsibility suddenly fell on her.

No matter if she was forced to do it or was reluctant, in order to prove her growth, the girl finally accepted this important task and wanted to take the initiative to lead the class to victory in this exam.

Although I thought so, in these few short days, troubles happened one after another in Class C.

The first one was the arrogant student Kouenji. After the first day of the exam, he chose to withdraw from the exam alone, which directly resulted in the class score being deducted by 30 points.

These points are precious and can be converted into class evaluation scores, but they were wasted just like that. In addition, the attitude of the classmates in the class when facing this exam is also a bit outrageous. Many things can be overcome by endurance, but they have to use points to exchange for supplies.

Unfortunately, Hirata, as the class leader, has no way to deal with this. Although he has a gentle personality, he simply cannot refuse requests from his classmates, especially girls. Therefore, so far, Class C has consumed a considerable amount of points.

As for the last thing, it was the short-haired girl who was sleeping in the corner of the girls' tent. She had short light green hair and her schoolbag was placed next to her.

Her name is Manabe Shiho. She is not a student of Class C, but was "picked up" by her classmates yesterday. Although Horikita Suzune also heard the news that Class D had given up the exam, she was still a little surprised to see everyone accepting members from other classes so easily.

Although she had doubts in her heart, the girl did not have a good solution. Class C had already occupied a stronghold, so they had to maintain an eight-hour interval to swipe the card. No one, including herself, could accept giving up the extra points in the stronghold.

So the only thing she could do at the moment was to keep a distance from the other party at all times, and carefully hide her key card to prevent any exposure.

After taking a deep breath, Horikita Suzune walked out of the tent to wash up. After doing all this, she decided to go out and collect some supplies first.

On the one hand, it was early morning and the weather was still quite cool. If she waited until the sun came out, she would probably feel even worse with her weak body that was already suffering from a cold.

On the other hand, the students who were collecting supplies were divided into simple groups in the class, and the black-haired girl's group member was the classmate Kushida, whom she disliked very much, so Horikita Suzune decided to go first.

After collecting the amount needed for today, she can rest for a while in the camp.

This was a simple rule that Class C implemented at the beginning. Everyone had to serve the class. It was impossible to wait for others to prepare meals for you. You had to make your own contribution. Although some people were lazy, everything was progressing smoothly overall.

Having spent two nights in the forest, Horikita Suzune's initial discomfort with the unfamiliar environment had long since dissipated. The only thing that made her feel uncomfortable now was the dizziness caused by the illness. However, the current symptoms were not very severe, so she felt she could hold on for a while.

After wandering around in the forest for a while, Horikita Suzune felt her head was a little dizzy, so she found a relatively clean tree to lean against.

Although a cold is not a serious illness, it is still quite uncomfortable when it really breaks out. Not only will it make people feel weak all over, but it will also cause a series of symptoms such as sore throat, dizziness, etc.

"call."

The black-haired girl squinted her eyes slightly and felt that her dizzy head was not getting better, so after touching her forehead, she stared at the front with a dull look.

But at this moment, Horikita Suzune heard the rustling sound of shoes stepping on the bushes, and then a figure appeared in front of her.

"Hey, Horikita-san, why are you here alone?"

This voice... sounds familiar.

The black-haired girl tried hard to open her eyes wide to see clearly who the figure standing in front of her was.

It was a boy, holding a bag in his hand, looking at himself with a slightly surprised expression...

Hashima Hikaru!

Horikita Suzune quickly recognized the other person. After all, the boy's figure and appearance were quite recognizable.

"Hashima-san?"

"It's me, but looking at you like this, are you really sick?"

Mitsuru Hashima looked at the black-haired girl who was half leaning against the tree. There was an abnormal blush on her delicate face, and her breathing seemed a little irregular.

Thinking of their previous meeting, the boy quickly concluded that this guy must have a cold.

When the other party approached, Horikita Suzune felt inexplicably nervous. Although she was not in a good state, she still understood that she and the boy in front of her were currently in a class rivalry, and she still had the key card in her pocket.

"Don't be so nervous, I just want to check on your condition."

Hashima Hikaru smiled faintly. Although the black-haired girl was a member of another class, he could ignore her. But when Horikita Suzune really couldn't hold on and fell down, judging from the girl's own abilities, the combat effectiveness of Class C would definitely be greatly reduced.

But doing so is not in line with the principles of a young man. Even if it is for victory, there is no need to be so inhumane.

"What do you want to do..."

Looking at the boy who was getting closer and closer, Horikita Suzune glared at him, but her body was powerless, so she looked like a cute young animal. Although she wanted to look aggressive, there was no sense of oppression at all.

"Snapped."

Hashima Hikaru reached out and touched the other person's forehead, and it felt a little hot. If he didn't take medicine immediately, the condition might get worse.

"!"

Feeling the masculine's aura coming towards her and his hand on her forehead, Horikita Suzune's expression changed and she was about to explode on the spot.

But the next second, the girl felt the other person's hand move away immediately, followed by a very calm word.

"I don't know why you insisted on going this far, Horikita-san, but I did agree to Horikita-senpai's conditions. If something really goes wrong with you during this exam, I'm afraid he'll come looking for me."

"So I'm giving Horikita-san an idea. You stay here and don't move while I go get something. Is that okay?"

"..."

"A cold shouldn't affect your hearing, right, Horikita-san?" Hashima Hikaru looked directly into the other person's purple-red eyes and spoke slowly, "Do you understand what I mean?"

"What are you going to do?" the girl asked weakly.

"What else can I do? Go get you some medicine."

Mitsuru Hashima put his hand on the girl's shoulders, then moved Horikita Suzune to sit on the flatter grass nearby. If you are weak, sitting is always better than standing.

"Then I'll take it as your consent. Wait for me here."

After saying this, Hashima Hikaru quickly turned around and ran away, leaving the black-haired girl sitting there with a dazed expression.

Get me some medicine?

But cold medicine should require points to redeem.

She reached out and touched her forehead. The temperature from her fingertips was quite obvious. It turned out to be a serious condition.

"Phew, this is really embarrassing..."

Horikita Suzune sighed. Although she didn't like the fact that Hashima Hikaru always used her brother's affairs to force her to do things she didn't want to do, after hearing what the other party said just now, the girl inexplicably had some other feelings in her heart.

Is he worried about me?

Or is it because you received favors from your brother that you are helping me?

Horikita Suzune was a little confused, but since it had come to this, she would just accept the arrangement of Hashima-san for the time being.

Anyway, I have agreed to the other party's embarrassing requests several times before, so I might as well treat it as an equal exchange.

--------

On the other side, Mitsuru Hashima, who was running at an accelerated speed, recalled what happened in the morning. After waking up today, he directly spent 20,000 system funds to exchange for the [Lucky Amulet] that was refreshed in the [Trading Store].

The boy then left Class A's camp alone early, wanting to see if he could use the good luck of this [Lucky Amulet] to detect some key information.

As a result, no information was found, but instead he met a young girl in the forest who looked very weak due to illness.

Mitsuru Hashima took a look at the item description and had a somewhat amusing expression on his face.

【Lucky Charm】

[After wearing it, it can improve the host's luck value, and perhaps unexpected lucky events will happen at some point. ]

"Really? So this is what they call a lucky event? It's not what I expected."

Chapter 159: Surprised Ayanokouji Kiyotaka

After sitting in the open space for about ten minutes, Horikita Suzune soon heard the sound of shoes stepping on the bushes again, and the tall figure of the young boy appeared in her sight again.

"I'm back, Horikita-san."

What Hashima Mitsuru was holding in his hand was naturally the herbal medicine he had made last night by combining several different plants. After mastering the [Wild Survival (Master)], he made several batches according to the ingredients as a backup, just to prevent his classmates from getting headaches and fevers.

However, I didn't expect that the first person to use it would be a classmate from another class.

"This is a herbal medicine I made myself. It can cure colds." Mitsuru Hashima handed the herbal soup in a kettle to the black-haired girl, indicating that this was the medicine he brought.

"Did Hashima-san make this himself?"

There was a hint of strangeness in Horikita Suzune's eyes. She had never expected that the other party had such ability.

"Why, you don't believe me?" the boy shrugged and replied casually, "I lived in the wild when I was a child, so I have some knowledge of some medicinal plants."

"I don't have any cold medicine, so I can only use this instead."

"..."

"Horikita-san doesn't want to drink this?" Hikaru Hashima raised his eyebrows.

"Of course not, I'm just a little surprised."

Horikita Suzune slowly shook her head. As someone recognized by her brother, the girl simply felt that her assessment of his ability had risen to a higher level.
