"Well..."

After tilting her head back and drinking the herbal soup in the kettle, the black-haired girl gently wiped the corners of her mouth with the back of her hand.

Feeling the warmth flowing into her stomach, she seemed to smell a faint medicinal fragrance.

"Herbal medicine belongs to the category of traditional Chinese medicine, so the effect probably won't be as fast as cold pills," Hashima Hikaru took the water bottle handed to her and explained to her calmly, "Horikita-san, you can wait and see. Maybe you'll feel much better by the afternoon."

"Well, thank you, Hashima-san."

After all, she had received a favor from the other party, so Horikita Suzune was still very polite and thanked the boy very sincerely.

"It's just a small thing. If Horikita-san really wants to thank me, remember to agree to my request next time."

Hashima Hikaru smiled slightly. As a key person with a complicated relationship with Kushida Kikyo, if he wanted to further improve Kushida's stock price in the future, he would definitely be inseparable from this Horikita-san.

"..."

After the boy finished his last words, Horikita Suzune fell silent, and the gratitude that had just risen in her heart disappeared without a trace.

"it is good..."

"Hahaha, I believe Horikita-san is a man of his word." Hashima Hikaru nodded and then said, "Do you need me to help you up?"

"No, I feel much better now. No need to trouble Hashima-san."

This was not said out of anger, but because after drinking the herbal soup, although the other party said that the effect might be slow, after sitting for a while, Horikita Suzune clearly felt that a lot of strength in her body had been restored.

So she quickly stood up from the grass, and after dusting off her sportswear, Horikita Suzune said to Hashima Hikaru, "Then I'll go back first, Hashima-san."

"Well, Horikita-san, remember to take care of yourself and be careful not to catch a cold again."

"I see."

After the last conversation, Horikita Suzune immediately turned around and went into the forest. She still had the key card in her hand, so after feeling better, she didn't want to be alone with this classmate Hashima at all. Everything still had to focus on the exam.

As for what the other party just said or what requests he might make to you later, let's talk about it later.

Looking at Horikita Suzune's decisive departure, Hashima Hikaru's lips curled up slightly.

Although he thought the [Lucky Amulet] was useless when he first met her, he discovered something very interesting when he handed the kettle filled with herbs to the girl at close range.

That is, when Horikita-san tilted her head back to drink the medicine, something strange appeared on her crossed legs. It was in the right pocket of her pants. There seemed to be a very hard object in it, which pulled her sweatpants into a square shape.

Key card?

The young man touched his chin. Although he had not confirmed with his own eyes whether the thing inside was what he had imagined, it was already a very good discovery. Perhaps if he dug deeper he would find the most crucial answer.

If you think about it this way, the [Lucky Amulet] is still very powerful. In the following period, on the one hand, you need to monitor Yamashita Saki who came to your camp, and on the other hand, you need to find out the information of the class leader of Class C.

The boy held the kettle in his hand and planned to return to the camp to have breakfast.

He did not choose to follow Horikita Suzune because the students from Class A who went out to gather intelligence last night had already found the location of Class C's camp.

After this sudden meeting, Mitsuru Hashima had some guesses, and the follow-up matters became easier to handle.

"Perhaps we'll soon be able to confirm the names of the leaders of all three classes. That's the best way to win."

-----

On the other hand, when Horikita Suzune returned to her class's camp, she clearly felt the power of the herb she had just drunk.

Because now the girl's headache has disappeared, and the symptoms of physical fatigue have also eased a lot, making her feel much more comfortable.

"The effect is so good..." Horikita Suzune murmured softly to herself.

But at this moment, a figure walked up to her. It was her usually quite silent classmate, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka.

"Good morning, Horikita-san."

"Good morning."

After a bland greeting, Horikita Suzune planned to rest for a while before continuing into the forest to collect supplies. After all, she was too weak just now, so she basically didn't get anything.

Looking at her back, the expression of the quiet Ayanokouji classmate was a little strange, because he had actually seen that Horikita Suzune was sick and was just holding on.

Because of this, he developed a fairly complete counter-plan, intending to win the exam by cutting off the source of the problem.

However, if this plan is to be carried out smoothly, the last step must be that Horikita Suzune can no longer hold on. Then he can use the class leader's physical discomfort as a legitimate reason to apply to the teachers to replace the class leader. This is the core idea for achieving a turnaround.

But looking at her current appearance, has her cold healed?

How can it be?

Did something happen that I don't know about?

A slight ripple seemed to appear in Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's eyes, which were as calm as the surface of a lake.

Chapter 160: The Man Who Changed His Action Plan

As the sky grew brighter and roll call time was approaching in the Class C camp, a group of students began to line up and walk out of the tents yawning. Although they had been told to get up early as much as possible, everyone basically stayed on time. After all, they had to start working after roll call, and they all agreed that they wanted to rest for a while.

"Well then, we'll start the roll call. Everyone please line up."

As the class leader, Hirata was responsible for counting the number of students in the class. He held a brown cardboard, stood in front of everyone and began to read out everyone's name one by one. Except for Koenji, no students in Class C were absent, so he quickly completed this regular task.

"Then we'll have breakfast. After we finish, I'll trouble you all to go to the forest to collect supplies. As usual, we'll work in groups of two."

Although he has a soft style of doing things, Yosuke Hirata has good organizational skills. He was a class leader in junior high school, so he is already familiar with these things.

Horikita Suzune got up early to complete the collection of supplies for the day, so she could have rested in the camp. However, after drinking the herbs given by Hashima Hikaru, the girl obviously felt much better, so she didn't plan to do nothing and wanted to explore the island alone.

After all, in addition to the base, Horikita Suzune understood that if she wanted to gain more class points, then the mechanism of guessing the leaders of other classes was very important, but Class C had not yet mastered the names of the leaders of any class, and was still lacking in intelligence.

"Horikita-san, do you want to explore other classes' camps?" Hirata was a little surprised after hearing Horikita Suzune's idea. "But you..."

"I'll be back before the base clocks out, so don't worry, Hirata-san."

The black-haired girl raised her slender wrist and glanced at the time on her watch. There were still several hours before the next check-in at the base, so she could definitely do more.

"Well then, we all still have faith in Horikita-san's abilities."

Hirata Yosuke smiled, glanced at Kushida Kikyo who was surrounded by classmates, and asked Horikita Suzune, "So, Horikita-san is going to act together with Kushida-san?"

"No need. I've already completed my share of material collection for today. Let me go gather more important intelligence on my own later."

"Well, I understand. Then I'll look forward to Horikita-san's triumphant return."

As the class leader of Class C, Yosuke Hirata needs to stay in the camp at all times. After all, although the classmates in the class seem very united these days, there are actually a lot of frictions between boys and girls. In order to eliminate these problems in time, he must always pay attention to everyone's situation.

There is also the classmate Manabe who entered his camp. Although Hirata Yosuke agreed to take her in, he never stopped observing her. After all, she is a classmate from another class, and no one knows what she is thinking.

However, regarding this matter, someone volunteered to contact him and wanted to take the responsibility of monitoring the other party. That person was Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, who had always had little presence in the class.

After taking a look at the handsome young man who was helping to carry wood in the camp, Yosuke Hirata felt that there should be no problem in giving this task to him.

For some reason, he always felt that Ayanokouji was a very capable person, but he never showed himself much.

Handing the wood to Ike Kanji who was doing his homework, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka wiped the sweat from his forehead pretending to be tired. In fact, this amount of exercise would not make him sweat at all, but he still needed to put on a show.

He actually noticed that Horikita Suzune had left the camp, apparently to collect some information.

After greeting her in the morning, Ayanokouji had been observing her and finally confirmed that the black-haired girl's physical condition had really recovered a lot, and she was completely different from her previous sickly state due to a cold.

After a quick mental weighing, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka decided to adjust his plan. Now that the opponent's body has recovered, the countermeasure plan of changing the leader will not work.

[Let's start with that undercover classmate.]

In fact, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka judged that this guy was an undercover agent as soon as Manabe Shiho arrived at the camp, because yesterday morning, he and Yamauchi Haruki, who were collecting supplies together, actually saw the large group of Class D returning to the cruise ship.

At that time, Ayanokouji immediately conducted a headcount. Although it seemed that everyone had withdrawn from the exam, there were only thirty-six people.

If no one had withdrawn from the exam early, it would mean that in addition to this classmate Manabe, there were at least three other students from Class D on this uninhabited island. This was the basis for him to formulate the previous plan to change the leader, and a series of operations would be carried out later.

But now that Horikita Suzune's body has recovered, it is necessary to adjust the plan in time.

The conversation in the cruise ship theater flashed through Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's mind. He wanted to be more serious and at least help Class D achieve a great victory. After all, he couldn't guarantee whether what the female teacher said was true, so he had to show his attitude.

Manabe Shiho, who was being silently watched by several people, did not eat and drink for free in the Class C camp. As a selected undercover member, in order to temporarily integrate into this group, she restrained her strong personality and helped everyone collect supplies and make fire to cook like an ordinary high school student participating in club activities.

But what made her unhappy was that there was a boy named Haruki Yamauchi in the class who kept taking the initiative to talk to her. If she hadn't seen the undisguised desire in this guy's eyes, Manabe would have thought she was exposed.

"Manabe-kun, how about I help you? Things like carrying wood are actually best done by boys."

As one of those who supported keeping the short-haired girl, Haruki Yamauchi had actually had some erotic fantasies in his mind for a long time.

what is this?

This is a hero saving a beauty!

The girl who was bullied by the class leader and excluded from boarding the ship discovered her whereabouts with her own keenness and strongly agreed to keep her.

Moreover, after the other party entered the camp, their attitude towards him was obviously different from that of others.

Could this be...my spring coming?

"No, I can do it myself. After all, I can't eat and drink for free."

Shiho Manabe shook her head slightly and refused Haruki Yamauchi's help.

Although she always appears to have a strong personality, like a bad girl, she can also play the role of a good girl, but she just doesn't want to do it usually.

"It's okay, I'm very strong and can do this." Yamauchi Haruki was not discouraged and took the wood from Manabe's hands, and gave her a smile that he thought was the most handsome.

"..."

Shiho Manabe looked at the other person deeply and finally agreed to his request. For a big-talking person like Haruki Yamauchi, continuing to entangle with him would only cause more trouble.

"Then I'll go help the girls with other things."

"Well, good luck, Manabe-san."

Haruki Yamauchi nodded at her, looking quite cheerful.

"Hey, you're not really into Manabe-san, are you?" His good friend Ike Kanji noticed Yamauchi's behavior and leaned over to him and asked quietly, "This is a student from another class."

"What's wrong with students from other classes? Is there a rule against socializing with students from other classes?"

"That's true, but I still think Kushida-chan is cuter."

As a staunch fan club member of Kushida Kikyo, Ike Kanji has no intention of abandoning his beliefs for the time being.

"But Kushida-chan is so popular, we don't stand a chance."

"Oh, yes..."

While the two of them were sighing, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka was still silently carrying the wood. Since he guessed that this Manabe-san might be an undercover agent, he would have to confirm the information more carefully when he swiped the card at the base later.

Before the eight-hour limit of the base was about to expire, Horikita Suzune had already returned to the camp. Everyone understood the next arrangements, so their expressions were a little solemn.

"Then let's proceed according to the original plan."

Yosuke Hirata ordered the boys in his class to hold hands and form a big circle, with the card swiping machine at the innermost part covered, and then asked the girls in the class to form an inner circle and stand at the innermost part.

If you look from the side, you can see that the outside of the card machine is crowded with people, and you can't tell who is swiping the card.

Horikita Suzune was surrounded by several girls in the class who were taller than her. She looked around quickly with a serious expression, and when she found that Manabe classmate was not looking at her, she quickly took out the key card from her pocket and quickly stuck it on the base equipment.

[Ding! The stronghold has been successfully captured. The time has been reset. The remaining usage time is 07 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds.]

After hearing the sound of the base being refreshed, the girls in the innermost layer began to pass messages out layer by layer. After several minutes, everyone in Class C slowly dispersed and returned to normal.

"Huh, it's so hot to be squeezed together like this every time."

"It can't be helped. After all, it's for the base points. Karuizawa-kun, please stop complaining."

"Oh, I don't know how many points our class will have left after the exams. The points we get every month are really not enough."

"Hopefully, it will get better after enduring this week."

While the students in Class C were discussing, Ayanokouji noticed that during the occupation of this stronghold, Manabe, a student from another class, did not even look in their direction.

Did you find out who the leader was a long time ago?

This was his first judgment. This classmate Shiho Manabe came to their camp yesterday afternoon, so Class C had refreshed the base in the early morning.

Because it was a girls' tent, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka could only ask the key holder Horikita Suzune about the situation in the morning. The other party replied that she swiped the card after confirming that Manabe Shiho was asleep.

Was it exposed at that time?

Originally, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's plan was to deliberately reveal the leader's name to her, and then have her tell this name to the students in Class D who were still on the island, and finally implement the plan to change the leader so that they would lose points.

Now that Horikita has recovered, the original plan can no longer be used. However, if this plan is not carried out, the information will be exposed in vain, and no benefit will be gained. In addition, 50 points will be deducted.

[We must pay attention to her every move. Now that she knows the name of the class leader, she should be passing on information soon.]

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka decided to monitor the other party's every move from now on. After all, he possessed energy that ordinary people could not match. When the leader had been exposed, he had to obtain the name of the leader of the other class in order to stop the loss in time.
