Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

To him, whether Ryuuen wins or Ayanokouji wins, it has nothing to do with him. It would be best if these guys just fight each other or even die together.

"Anyway, are you willing to accept the conditions I offer? Do you need me to find a teacher to sign a contract with you?"

"Humph, it doesn't matter if we wait until the exam is over before doing this." Long Yuanxiang said silently, "Don't worry, I will abide by your conditions."

"That's good."

Hikigaya nodded, calmly took out the key card from his arms, and handed it to Ryuen Sho.

Ryuen looked at him deeply, then took out a flashlight from his arms and shone the name written on the card - Hikigaya Hachiman.

"You really are capable of making some unexpected moves."

After seeing that Hikigaya himself was the leader, Ryuen Sho said with a surprised look on his face, "You sold the information to me so confidently? If I sold this information to other classes, or even revealed it to your D class, don't you think you would be immediately treated as a traitor?"

As the leader of Class D, Hikigaya took the initiative to sell his keycard. This behavior was obviously something that even Ryuuen could not handle.

After all, the other party's identity as a leader was exposed, and no matter what happened, most people would blame Hikigaya himself as the leader.

If Ryuuen sold this news to Class A and Class B, Class D would definitely think that Hikigaya himself had betrayed them. Otherwise, how could the identity of the leader be known to so many people for no apparent reason?

"What's the problem?" However, Hikigaya obviously didn't care about it at all. "I'm not popular in that class to begin with. Even if I'm considered a traitor, it won't cause any more trouble. It's actually a good thing for me. As for whether you will sell the news to other classes, let's not talk about Class B for now. I don't think you will sell this news to Class A."

"Oh? Why do you think I won't sell it to Class A?"

"Because you've already sold Horikita Suzune's key card to Katsuragi, haven't you?"

"This……"

Hearing Hikigaya's words that were too hellish, Ryuuen couldn't help but reveal an expression that he couldn't hold back. Rather than being anxious, it was more like a smile that was pouncing on his prey.

He finally sneered and said, "You are right. Ever since Katsuragi was defeated by you in the student council selection and failed to be selected, he has not been able to adjust his mentality. In addition, the Sakayanagi faction is eyeing him covetously. In his desperation, he has to do some risky things to seize every opportunity as much as possible."

"So that's why he signed such a senseless contract with you?"

"He's so stupid... Hehe, your description is indeed correct. Katsuragi was so anxious that he didn't even notice the loophole in the contract itself."

"He only needed to provide the key card and photo as evidence, but forgot the fact that the leader's identity can be changed. No wonder Sakayanagi looked down on him so much."

Hikigaya and Ryuuen were like two demons talking there.

In their mouths, the current leader of Class A, Kōhei Katsuragi, is like a lamb to be slaughtered, pitiful and sad.

Seeing this scene, Ibuki Mio and Kamuro Masumi who were standing nearby even felt a chill instinctively, and their bodies began to tremble inexplicably.

"Even if you tell Katsuragi that I'm the leader now, you won't necessarily gain his trust. Instead, it will arouse suspicion." Hikigaya said calmly, "And if you keep it a secret, Class A will not only lose 50 points for guessing the wrong leader, but will also be forced to transfer the points to you because of the contract. No matter how you think about it, you'll earn more this way."

"Humph, although your tone is unpleasant, it is undeniable that this is indeed the truth." Long Yuanxiang said coldly, "So, don't worry, I will accept your proposal and will not sell this key card."

"Yes, but I advise you not to think about selling this information to Class B. That would be a meaningless move."

"What do you mean?"

"literal meaning."

Hikigaya was simply giving Ryuuen a reminder, and at the same time hoped that the other party would not provoke Ichinose.

After all, if Class C found out that Ichinose was the leader, who knows what they would think, and they might even become very worried about me.

Although I know that the other party is just having an unnecessary compensatory mentality towards me, as a lone ranger, it is undoubtedly a troublesome thing for me from the bottom of my heart.

After all, he didn't need and rejected this unnecessary tenderness from the bottom of his heart.

The Lone Ranger doesn't need to be treated gently!

Chapter 319: Final Result of the Uninhabited Island Exam

"Humph, now you have the upper hand, you can do whatever you want."

Ryuen Sho shook his head. It was obvious that he did want to disgust Hikigaya, but now that the other party had the upper hand over him, there was naturally no way he could do anything about it.

After speaking to Hikigaya, he turned to look at Ibuki Mio and said, "Ibuki, after I leave, it will be your turn to be the leader of Class A."

"This... am I coming?"

"Do you think there are other people from Class C on this island who can serve as leaders?"

In response to Ibuki's surprise, Ryuen Sho responded calmly.

Under normal circumstances, a dictator like him who is extremely suspicious and domineering would never trust anyone around him.

He will definitely take on such an important role as a leader himself.

But now, having agreed to cooperate with Hikigaya and withdrawing from the exam, Ryuuen had no choice but to hand over the position of leader to Ibuki.

In a sense, this can be considered as progress for Ryuuen, as it can help him realize the power of others, rather than always being limited to treating others as tools and handling everything by himself.

"Ryuen, how are you going to quit the exam and change the leader?" Hikigaya asked curiously, "The school said that the leader cannot be changed without a legitimate reason."

The reason why Horikita Suzune from Class D changed her leader was because Horikita herself was sick, and she had been holding on for a week, and was tricked by Ayanokouji several times, and she was in a bad state that could not be solved without treatment.

Therefore, the school can easily prove that Class D did not lie and agree to the change of leadership.

Although Long Yuanxiang has experienced a week of survival on a deserted island and looks in an indescribable state, he still looks energetic. It is hard to say whether he can be recognized by the school.

"Haha, legitimate reasons? You can easily find a lot of these things. You don't need to worry about them."

Ryuen Sho responded calmly, a creepy smile on his face.

The meaning in his words still makes people feel a sense of cruelty just by thinking about it, proving that the other party is still the cruel leader of Class C.

This cruelty even still affects him.

"Wow!"

Suddenly, a white light flashed in the sky, followed by thunder in the direction of the sea, and then a heavy rain.

"We have to go back first."

Seeing this, Kamuro Masumi was first startled by the sudden appearance of lightning, then he quickly spoke, realizing that he could not stay here any longer.

"Let's go, take the victory you want." Long Yuanxiang didn't react to the thunderstorm at all, his expression was indifferent and cold, "Including the last time, you have defeated me twice, but don't think you can always win. Sooner or later, I will make you really regret it, dead fish eyes!"

"Haha, I look forward to that day."

Hikigaya looked at Ryuen calmly, glanced at Ibuki who had not yet realized what responsibility he would have to take on, then turned and left with Kamuro.

Ryuen Sho is indeed a dangerous man, but like Horikita Suzune, he is also a person who truly fits the school's character of strength supremacy.

The other party and Horikita may still be far away from the true top, but as long as they continue to grow, they may really be able to get close to Class A.

In contrast, Class B, which may have the most advantages at the moment, lacks a decent and potential leader.

Ichinose's flaws are so obvious that the entire Class B can't see any future.

Of course, these ideas of Hikigaya are definitely unorthodox in the eyes of ordinary people.

Especially when the final results come out tomorrow, no one will admit that Hikigaya's thinking is completely 'wrong'.

"Then I'll go back to Class A first... It's raining so hard, do you need me to take you back?"

"It doesn't matter. This level won't affect it."

Hikigaya shook his head and rejected Kamuro's kindness.

The latter looked at him deeply, as if wondering whether everything that had just happened was done by this insignificant looking dead fish eye in front of him.

But in the end, she nodded silently and said deeply: "Well, I'll say goodbye here, Hikigaya... and I won't tell anyone about what happened today, including Sakayanagi."

"It's okay if you tell her. She'll know it anyway."

"This……"

Hearing Hikigaya's self-destructive words, Kamuro was stunned at first, then an obvious helplessness appeared on his face, and he turned and left.

“Is this really the right approach?”

When only one person was left, Hikigaya stared at the dark forest, as if staring at some huge darkness bred by this school.

Right and wrong seem to be completely torn apart in the face of the law of supremacy of strength, and it is difficult to see clearly.

Everyone turned into wild beasts, and the only option left was to fight each other.

However, that was the last option that someone like Hikigaya wanted to see.

"Alas, these things have nothing to do with me after all."

"Right and wrong, what does it matter?"

"I just want to go home and see Komachi..."

Muttering to himself, Hikigaya gave up on overly complicated thinking, quietly blended his thoughts into the dark forest, and disappeared.

……

8 month 7 day.

The last day of the special exam on the uninhabited island.

The life on the uninhabited island, which seems long but is also short, has finally come to an end.

For most of the students taking the exam, what they experience during this week is enough to leave an extremely deep impression in their memory that will be unforgettable forever.

This experience of survival on a deserted island is too miserable and too complicated for anyone to be summarized in just one or two sentences.

The only thing to be thankful for is that this survival in the wild on an uninhabited island did not really happen. It was just a trial given by the school that lasted only one week.

When the exam time was over, the complicated and terrifying trial ended just in time.

At about 10 p.m., all the students taking the exam were gathered on the beach of the island and were called by their teachers.

"We are now summarizing the test results. Please wait a moment." A message came over the cruise ship's broadcast that everyone could hear clearly. "Since the test is over, if there are students who need to drink a drink or use the restroom, please go to the rest area."

Hearing the broadcast, all the students gathered in the rest area and found that there were tables and chairs arranged there so that they could get a good rest.

Hikigaya found a chair and sat down, looking at the class members around him without attracting anyone's attention.

At the moment, everyone in Class A is generally very confident, with obvious smiles on their faces, even including the leader Kōhei Katsuragi.

He seemed to be impatient for his victory and wanted to see Class A gain a huge amount of points as soon as possible to help him consolidate his position and overwhelm the Sakayanagi faction.

In contrast, although Class B was also very confident, the entire class, under the leadership of Ichinose, revealed an indescribable unity.

Even after the exams were over, most of the students in Class B still sat together, discussing various details of life, sharing leftover food, and giving each other some help within their ability.

In contrast, the empty space of Class C highlights the fact that this class is deserted.

In most people's eyes, Class C should be a state where all members have left and no one survived.

As for Class D...

Even though the exams were over, the chaos in the class continued.

After all, among all the first-year classes, Class D encountered the most chaos, from the quarrels over living problems at the beginning, to the quarrels over the stolen underwear incident, to the sudden fire, and Horikita Suzune's departure...

The successive blows pushed the class to the brink of collapse time and time again.

Nowadays, everyone just hopes to get a decent result, so that most people will not collapse completely and can maintain a decent mentality.

"Hikigaya, you're here."

Just as Hikigaya was observing his surroundings, Hirata Yosuke suddenly appeared.

Ever since Hikigaya proposed changing his leadership role and helped solve the problem of Horikita's key card being stolen, he has often appeared beside him.

If the other party hadn't openly had a girlfriend, Karuizawa Megumi, Hikigaya would have suspected that he was gay.

Wait, the relationship between Yosuke Hirata and Megumi Karuizawa seems fake, right?

This guy can't be really gay!

"Hikigaya-san, you've worked hard." Hirata Yosuke had no idea what Hikigaya was thinking, nor did he notice that he had suddenly shifted his position. He spoke to himself, "Thank you so much for this week. Without you, this class would have collapsed long ago."

Hirata made these words of consolation as he appeared, and then handed one of the two paper cups in his hand to Hikigaya.

"..."

Hikigaya took the paper cup of hot water and for a moment he didn't know how to respond to Hirata's reaction.

After all, he is not as good as the other party imagines.
