Of course, the so-called supplies do not mean that you can go fifteen steps east, six steps south, and seven steps east again and then dig up a big box under a tree containing lunch boxes for forty people.
It is far more economical and affordable, and it can be said to be an endless supply of water in a short period of time.
——A mountain stream.
The stream is about three or four meters wide and the water is not very deep. The deepest part is only up to the knees of an adult male. The water is icy cold and clear, and there are small fish and shrimps in it.
This is an excellent source of living water and even food. If we don't occupy this stronghold, it can only be said that the entire class has been kicked in the brain by a donkey.
"Okay, so our base for this week has been decided for now."
Watching the originally dim screen on the base's instrument light up and display the words [Class B's remaining usage time 7:59:55], Yukinoshita Haruno turned around and clapped her hands to the people behind her who all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
"Now that the station problem has been solved, the next step is to decide what supplies we need to purchase. Considering that our class is not that tight on points right now, although we should theoretically save as much as possible on supplies, there is no need to be stingy with the points that should be spent. The first thing is our food for the next seven days..."
Just as everyone gathered together to listen carefully to what Yukinoshita Haruno said, Sakura Airi, who was introverted and had no friends and could only squat far away under a tree, suddenly felt the branches above her head move.
Hey, it’s obviously not windy?
The girl with twin ponytails raised her head curiously and looked upwards, only to see a man squatting on the treetop right above her. There was dust all over his body, and his sportswear looked a bit tattered for some reason, with many small cuts on it.
"Wu... Wu Yi-san?" Sakura Airi stood up and was frightened by his appearance.
"Hey." Wu Yi jumped down like a cat and landed lightly on the ground, waving to her, "It seems that things are going well for you too."
"Uh, it's okay..."
Sakura Airi answered subconsciously, but quickly reacted and hurriedly moved forward to look left and right and touch.
"No, classmate Wu Yi, how did you get into this state...Are you injured anywhere?"
"No, no, I'm fine."
Wu Yi rolled up the sleeves of his coat to reveal his intact arm underneath.
"Look, you're not hurt, you're fine. I just moved a little too fast in the forest and got my clothes scratched by a branch."
After seeing with her own eyes that everything was indeed fine, Sakura Airi finally breathed a sigh of relief and kept patting her chest gently as if she was still in shock.
"Oh, that's good, that's good..."
"Okay, I have something else to talk to Yukinoshita about, we can talk later."
Wu Yi smiled, stretched out his hand and flicked the girl's forehead, then walked forward on his own.
The snap of the fingers was not heavy at all, but Sakura Airi still squatted down little by little with her hands covering her eyebrows. After a while, a wisp of hot white mist slowly rose from her head.
呲——
At the same time, in the center of the camp, Yukinoshita Haruno was still making point plans.
"The school currently provides two tents for free. Each tent can accommodate up to ten people. If we want to rest normally, it can only support seven or eight people at the same time. So I plan to purchase four more tents..."
"Three are enough, right?" someone interrupted.
The person who spoke was Yukimura, who was one of the better students in the school. When he noticed the mistake in Yukinoshita's calculation, he immediately pushed up his glasses and pointed it out.
"Of course, if we calculate it based on 5840, then buying three tents is indeed enough." Yukinoshita Haruno smiled and looked at him, "The problem is that if this is the case, we will end up with five tents, but there are 20 boys and 20 girls in our class, so how should we divide the extra tent?"
"This...is true."
In fact, before Yukinoshita Haruno finished her words, Yukimura realized what he had missed and was speechless.
But Yamauchi and Ike next to them were inexplicably excited.
"It's not unacceptable if I can live in a tent with Kushida-chan!"
"That's it!"
Disgusting...
Hearing these almost sexually harassing remarks, almost all B-level girls looked at these two funny guys with disgust. Even Kikyo Kushida, who was in little angel mode, couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.
"Yukinoshita!"
Wu Yi called out and waved across the wall of people.
Yukinoshita Haruno was stunned for a moment and then seemed to realize something. She smiled and nodded, then turned to speak to the other people around her.
"Sorry, let's discuss what else is needed first. I'll be right back."
So the two of them soon came to a secluded place behind a tree.
Wu Yi didn't intend to keep the secret, and simply flipped his hand and showed the key card of Class A to the girl like magic.
"Totsuka... Yahiko? You just snatched someone else's class key card?"
Yukinoshita Haruno smacked her lips slightly.
Although I knew that this guy's actions were all unconventional, but directly snatching the key card... He is simply a lunatic! Well done!
"What's the point of robbing or not? Can you please talk properly? This is called keeping it for safekeeping."
Wu Yi defended herself somewhat dissatisfiedly.
"I just happened to see the people from Class A looking for a base, and I was afraid they might get lost on the island, so I went over to check. I was going to jump down and pat their shoulders to say hello, but when I fell down, my hands just happened to touch the back of their necks. Maybe they were too weak and got scared, so they fainted. And this card just happened to fall in front of me. I thought it would be easy for someone to pick it up if I left it alone, so I kept it for them and will return it when the time is right."
"Hi hi hi~"
Yukinoshita Haruno really didn't want to argue with him, "I only have two questions. Whose broken bracelet is that on your hand? And...how many points do Class A have left?"
"Totsuka Yahiko's, one hundred and twenty." Wu Yi said concisely.
"…Sometimes I'm glad you're not from another class."
Yukinoshita Haruno quickly understood the logic and couldn't help but rub her forehead. After a while, she put her hand down.
"Okay, so what do you need me to do now?"
"Give me our class's key card, and also the class leader's bracelet." Wu Yi said bluntly.
"The key card is not with me." Yukinoshita Haruno hesitated for a moment, "And I'm not the leader of our class. I'll go get her over."
"Okay, I'll wait here." Wu Yi said.
After a while, Yukinoshita Haruno came over with another girl with long black hair and a somewhat cold expression.
When Wu Yi saw it for the first time, he was even stunned for a moment.
It wasn’t because of the other person’s outstanding appearance, although she was indeed quite pretty, with a slender and well-proportioned figure, but the main reason was... he didn’t even remember there was such a person in his class.
"This is Horikita Suzune from our class." Yukinoshita Haruno gave a brief introduction.
"Oh……"
Wu Yi responded woodenly, then stretched out his hand and spread out his palm.
"Please lend me the wrist with your bracelet."
"Wrist? What are you going to do..."
Horikita Suzune frowned and stretched out her hand in confusion, obviously not realizing what was going to happen next.
The next second, Wu Yi took the initiative to move forward and grabbed the girl's wrist.
"you!"
Horikita Suzune was startled and subconsciously tried to pull her hand back to fight back, but the big hand holding her wrist was like an iron vise, holding it tightly and not letting her pull it away.
Wu Yi seemed unaware of the girl's resistance and even let out a soft "hmm".
"Why is your pulse beating so fast? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, no..."
Horikita Suzune looked away.
"Okay, whatever you want."
Wu Yi continued to feel her pulse, slowly adjusting her breathing and heartbeat.
"By the way, our school's student council president is called Horikita Manabu. Do you know him?"
“…What does it have to do with you?”
Horikita Suzune turned her face away, not wanting to answer this question.
The next second, she suddenly felt a lightness on her wrist.
"All right."
With a click, Wu Yi fastened Horikita Suzune's bracelet onto his own wrist and raised the key card he had just taken from the former's sweatpants pocket.
"Well then, I will continue to torture Class A. See you later."
“Wait, you…!”
Horikita Suzune then realized what had just happened. She quickly took two steps forward and was about to chase after him and scold him, but the person had already run away and disappeared.
Volume 84: Chapter Internal Conflict
Still in the familiar cave, all the members of Class A who had dispersed to find a base gathered here except Arisu Sakayanagi who did not take the exam, and at the same time learned the bad news that the key card was stolen.
"What! The key card was stolen by someone else!? Say it again!!!"
Except for the parties involved, Kōhei Katsuragi and Yahiko Totsuka, everyone else in the cave had a look of disbelief on their faces, whether they were from the Sakayanagi faction or the Katsuragi faction.
It should be said that in such a situation where they are concerned about something, no one can remain calm about this kind of news.
Even the A class teacher, Tomoya Mashima, who came to investigate the situation, was surprised.
"Yes, Yahiko and I were attacked by an unknown person when we were exploring this cave. When we woke up, the key card and Yahiko's bracelet were taken away, and my bracelet strap was also damaged. Currently, our class has 120 points left for the exam. That's what happened."
Katsuragi Kohei said all this in front of everyone in Class A with his arms folded over his chest and his eyes closed. Then he shut his mouth and said no more. His whole body exuded an aura of "everyone is responsible for their own actions, and if you want to kill or cut me, come to me", which was quite similar to the style of Boss Qiao who was subjected to the three-knife and six-hole punishment.
"No... that's not what you said!"
A boy wearing glasses was so angry that he laughed.
Takuro Morishige is a member of the Sakayanagi faction and a subordinate of Hashimoto Masayoshi, one of the three major guards of the Sakayanagi faction. He usually acts as a mouthpiece and a vanguard.
"Katsuragi, are you kidding us all? It's only the first day of the exam and you haven't passed the exam in the morning. You've lost your key card and you only have 120 test points left. And you're just going to brush it off with a "that's how it is"? Don't take on a job you don't have the skills to do!"
"Morishige, what are you talking about?!"
Hearing his boss being said like this by the minions of the opposing faction, Totsuka Yahiko immediately became unhappy.
"You always say that you shouldn't take on a job that you don't have the skills to do, but why didn't I see Sakayanagi from your side come to take the exam? Besides, the 30 points at the beginning were deducted because of your Sakayanagi faction!"
"Oh, right, right, because our Sakayanagi faction was deducted thirty points, that's natural." Morishige Takuro changed the subject, "But because your Katsuragi faction recommended the virtuous as relatives, we were deducted 150 points!"
"you……!"
Totsuka Yahiko wanted to continue arguing, but Katsuragi Kōhei put his hand on his shoulder and stopped him from continuing.
"That's enough, Yahiko. You don't need to speak for me anymore. Besides, what Morishige-san said is right. This failure is indeed caused by me, and I will take responsibility for it."
"Responsible? With your current state, how are you going to take responsibility..."
Morishige Takuro was stopped in the middle of his words. Hashimoto Masayoshi, who had been silent, laughed and put his hand on his shoulder and stood up from the ground.
"Well, there's no need to be so tense. Arguing won't lead to any result anyway. Just be calm. There's nothing that can't be solved through a good discussion."
His seemingly peacemaking words quickly became sharp as his tone changed.
"Then the first problem is that we don't have the key card now, and we can't occupy the base either, so how do we solve the accommodation problem for this week?"
"It's not completely unsolvable. I've already asked Chabashira-sensei about this..."
Kōhei Katsuragi repeated what Chabashira Sae had said before in front of everyone.
"Well, that means as long as people from other classes don't find out and come to occupy it, we can keep using it."
Hashimoto Masayoshi nodded slightly, seeming to accept this statement.
"Then the second question is, we only have 120 test points left, and we need at least 20 points to feed a class for a day, which means we will have no food one day out of seven. How do we solve this problem?"
"Can be solved."
Katsuragi Yasuhei stood still.
"Because of the environment I grew up in, I can make my own bow and arrow for hunting, pick branches to make fire, and pick fruits as supplementary food. I will prepare meals for the whole class on the last day within six days, so that even if the points are only enough for six days of food, we can still survive these seven days."
"Is it."
Hashimoto Masayoshi smiled with an ambiguous tone.
"Then the last question, Katsuragi-san, please answer it truthfully. How do you plan to make up for our lost points? You know, even if other classes don't take up any points at all, if they live a little more frugally, they can basically save about a hundred points in the end. But we will use up all the test points just to survive at the minimum. In this case, why don't we all withdraw from the exam as a class?"
