He added.
"After all, it's not considered responsible to just let everyone get through the exam without any results."
“…I’ve thought about this as well.”
Katsuragi Kōhei took a deep breath.
"Mashima-sensei said before the exam that at the end of the exam we will have to guess the leaders of other classes. If we guess one correctly, we will get 50 points as a reward. In other words, if we guess all three correctly, we can still get a maximum of 150 class points."
"But all this is based on the premise that the identity of the leader of our class is not guessed." Hashimoto Masayoshi continued.
"However, the identity of our class leader has been exposed. Even if all three guesses are correct, as long as the leader of our class is identified by people from other classes, we will still not get any points."
"Um……"
Katsuragi Kōhei pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Majima who was silent beside him.
"Mashima-sensei, if I remember correctly, the rule is that you can't change leaders without a valid reason, but in our case, do we have a valid reason?"
"You can," Mashima Tomoya said, "but the prerequisite is that there must be evidence that you were attacked by the other party and the key card was taken away."
"Evidence...Mr. Majima, could you please help me check the location and movement records?" Katsuragi Kōhei said after thinking for a while.
"As a teacher, I cannot provide such help in principle."
Tomoya Mashima took out his cell phone and started operating it.
"But according to the cloud records, you and Totsuka-san did have abnormal heartbeats during that period, and then it became a heartbeat frequency that was not in your normal state. If you insist... it can be considered an exception."
"Please help me verify it, teacher." Katsuragi Kohei said in a deep voice.
As time passed, Tomoya Mashima's brows became more and more furrowed.
Suddenly, he also showed an expression of disbelief.
"According to the location records, no one has approached you in the few hours since you landed on the island!"
Volume 85: Chapter He’s coming! He’s coming!
"what is this!"
"How, how is this possible?!"
Now, not only Totsuka Yahiko and Katsuragi Kōhei, but everyone in Class A had an expression as if they had seen a ghost.
After all, showing the location records to students is already half-cheating, so Mashima Tomoya was very cautious and enlarged the display scale to the extent that only the area around the cave could be seen.
According to what was displayed on the recorder, the signal sources of Totsuka Yahiko and Katsuragi Kōhei had indeed been here.
But after staying for about ten minutes, Totsuka Yahiko's signal source seemed to have its own ideas. It shouted "I'm free" and quickly flew towards the northwest, while Katsuragi Kōhei's signal source remained in the same place without moving.
At least now no one doubted the possibility that the Katsuragi faction was crying wolf.
With this movement speed and Yahiko Totsuka's physical fitness score of only D, even if you chase him with a whip on flat ground and whip his back to pieces, he still won't be able to run away.
What's more, this is on an uninhabited island, with mountain roads and sandy terrain everywhere. Being able to run at such a speed doesn't feel like running.
This is already in the realm of flying.
"I think no one in our class has this ability..." Hashimoto Masayoshi was also confused.
Even Kito Hayabusa, the most powerful of the three guards of the Sakayanagi faction, shook his head after seeing this.
On the contrary, Masumi Kamuro next to him had a thoughtful expression.
"But I remember... the southwest direction seems to be the territory of Class C?" someone suddenly brought up.
"Class C?" Totsuka Yahiko didn't react for a moment, "Isn't that Ryuuen... uh no, this should be Ichinose's class, right?"
"Is there such a powerful person in the former Class B?" Hashimoto Masayoshi touched his forehead as if he had a fever.
"I don't think so." Mashima Tomoya shook his head slightly. "Although the average of Class C is high, there is no one who stands out. If there is anyone who can achieve this level, the only one I remember is..."
He stopped abruptly here and did not continue.
Meanwhile, Mori Shige Takuro was still trying to ask further questions.
"Who is there?"
"No, nothing." Mashima Tomoya denied, "I remembered it wrongly."
"That is to say, it is almost impossible to determine who the murderer is now." Hashimoto Masayoshi returned to the original topic.
"Then the problem is that we still have no way to change the leader for legitimate reasons, and as long as we cannot change, we still face the risk of the leader being identified at the final stage."
"...Mister Majima, is there really no other way to change the leader?" Katsuragi Kōhei was helpless.
"I just said it, as long as there is a legitimate reason." said Tomoya Mashima.
"In other words, as long as the school determines that the student is indeed unsuitable to continue taking the exam, the leader can be replaced. This is equivalent to passively giving up the right. Not only can the candidate be replaced, but even the key card can be reissued."
"Varied……!"
Kōhei Katsuragi's pupils shrank slightly and he couldn't even speak.
In sharp contrast, Hashimoto Masayoshi laughed softly.
"I see. Then I believe Totsuka-san should know what to do, right?"
"I……"
Before Totsuka Yahiko could react, Katsuragi Kōhei immediately took a step forward and waved his hand to stand in front of him.
"Stop it! Violent acts will also result in class points being deducted!"
"Acts of violence? How is that possible~"
Hashimoto Masayoshi continued to approach with a smile, and the other members of the Sakayanagi faction followed behind him, like a large army approaching.
"All we want is for Totsuka-san to leave the scene honestly. This way, we can not only preserve the class's grades, but also live a comfortable life on the cruise ship for the next few days. It is said that a short pain is worse than a long one. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"
"Hashimoto!" Majima couldn't help but shout.
"Hi hi~"
Since even the teacher had spoken, Hashimoto Masayoshi naturally couldn't continue to force the issue. He raised his hands in surrender and stepped back, but he still kept on attacking the opponent's mind.
"Anyway, let's stop here. I won't use coercive means. Although this is entirely the fault of your Katsuragi faction, we are all classmates after all. It will not look good if we make too much trouble. But if possible, I believe that most of the students in the class still hope that you can take responsibility."
"After all, necessary sacrifices are often unavoidable."
At the end he added this meaningfully.
But this move of retreating to advance pushed the entire situation in an unstoppable direction with no room for maneuver.
Is it wrong to say that the Katsuragi faction is solely responsible for this mistake?
No.
Since the Katsuragi faction is fully responsible, is it wrong to ask the Katsuragi faction to take responsibility?
nor.
So right now, Kōhei Katsuragi is faced with only two choices.
Otherwise, he could just take responsibility and the simplest solution would be to sacrifice Yahiko Totsuka.
As long as Totsuka Yahiko is sacrificed, Class A will still have a chance to struggle in this special exam.
But if they did that, not only would Class A lose another thirty points, but it would also shake the Katsuragi Faction's confidence in Katsuragi.
If you can’t even protect your loyal brothers, what kind of boss are you?
If they want to have the best of both worlds, the only way is to find the person who attacked them and disclose the evidence to the school.
However, such an operation is nothing but a pipe dream for Katsuragi in his current situation. Unless a miracle happens, it will never be realized.
Or there is the second option, which is to just take everyone together and frankly say that you can't solve it and can't take the responsibility, so everyone just goes back to the boat and enjoys the summer vacation happily as if nothing happened.
But if Kōhei Katsuragi dares to do that, he will no longer have any leadership position in the class.
Really, it was a complete failure...
For the first time ever, Kōhei Katsuragi felt powerless from the bottom of his heart.
In fact, even Sakayanagi Arisu, who had been attacking him relentlessly since school, had never caused him such pressure.
"I will take responsibility for this."
The sudden voice of Yahiko Totsuka broke the almost frozen silence.
"I will catch a cold and have a fever in the next few days. If the school determines that I am unable to continue taking the exam, I can replace the leader with a legitimate reason."
“Yahiko you…”
Ignoring the surprised look of Katsuragi Kohei beside him, he held his head high and his eyes were bright.
"I have made up my mind. Please do not stop me, Katsuragi-san. In exchange, I will trouble you to find the leaders of other classes... So, Hashimoto-san, do you have anything else to say?"
"Of course... no, as long as you can do what you say."
Hashimoto Masayoshi smiled and spread his hands.
However, just as everyone was shocked by the immeasurable deep affection between the master and servant, an unexpected "beep" sound came from the direction of the cave entrance.
"Oh my! They hid the entrance of the cave so well and stuffed so many things at the door. I could see it from a distance. I thought it was a treasure cave, but it turned out to be a cave for people."
A mocking voice sounded, and Wu Yi walked in slowly with his hands in his pockets, appearing in front of everyone in Class A in a dignified manner.
"It's really interesting that we found such a hidden place but didn't occupy it... Well, this place now belongs to our Class B."
"Everyone, please leave consciously, okay?"
Volume 86: Chapter : Kill Them All
When they saw who was coming, the one who reacted the most was not anyone else but Masumi Kamuro, who had been watching coldly with his arms folded.
"You are... Wu Yi from Class D?"
"Poke, they just said that they are now Class B."
Hashimoto Masayoshi beside her immediately corrected her with a laugh.
However, Kamuro Masumi didn't even bother to look at him, let alone reply. His brows just became more and more furrowed, and his look of disgust was about to turn into a look of disgust.
But don't get me wrong, it's not that she has any dissatisfaction with Wu Yi, it's just because of her natural appearance, even when she is expressionless, she has a look of disgust. If she frowns slightly, it will be more obvious, so she often gives people the feeling that she is difficult to get along with.
Of course, for some people with special hobbies, this may also be a reward.
"Well, actually it doesn't matter whether our class is B or D."
Wu Yi leaned against the rock wall at the cave exit and smiled sideways: "The important thing is that this is now our class's territory. Please leave immediately, Class A. Otherwise, it will be considered as occupying his class's base without permission."
"……I see."
Katsuragi Kōhei closed his eyes and nodded solemnly, then turned to everyone in Class A.
"Then please follow me."
"..."
No one answered, only Totsuka Yahiko seemed to be taking the lead and moved closer to the former.
A few seconds later, rustling sounds were heard and people in the cave stood up one after another, but they were all from the Katsuragi faction.
The members of the Sakayanagi faction, led by the three great guards, remained where they were.
It was not until all the people from the Katsuragi faction had left the cave that Mashima Tomoya, the class teacher, glanced at Hashimoto Masayoshi and the others and briefly urged them.
"time to go."
"Um……"
Since the teacher had spoken, Hashimoto Masayoshi naturally couldn't waste any more time. He could only smile helplessly and shrug.
"Okay, let's follow."
However, when they came out of the cave, they were surprised to find that the scene they had expected, where the cave was surrounded by students from Class B like a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers surrounding the Flower-Fruit Mountain, did not occur.
To be precise, there was no one outside.
In other words, this Wu Yi came alone?
Well… since he came alone, and the cave was just occupied by Class B as a base, doesn’t that mean that the leader of Class B is Wu Yi?
Hashimoto Masayoshi was the military strategist among the three guards. He quickly figured this out and glanced back at the other party with some surprise.
"Since I dare to appear here, I am not afraid of being discovered by you."
