Seeing Amane-san still trying to persuade others to accept the 50,000 points per person plan, Yonezu felt a warmth in his heart.
Miyako-san is not only powerful but also surprisingly kind.
He was completely unaware that Amane-san had already silently bared her fangs at him.
Chapter 309: Do you need help?
Fukuyama Shichika and Amane-san exchanged glances, and in an instant, both sides reached a consensus. Finally, reluctantly, they agreed to Yonezu's request to acquire poker card numbers for 50,000 individual points.
Class C, who had been observing for a long time, saw that Class A had agreed, and naturally, they were happy to make a profit. Since it was Shiina's order, even if something went wrong, Shiina would bear the responsibility, so what did it have to do with them? One number could be exchanged for 50,000 individual points; they had never encountered such a good thing.
"Amane-san, then us..."
Karuizawa, seeing the other classes already trading, couldn't help but feel tempted.
Class D only had a little over 20,000 points a month until last month, and now just one number could be exchanged for more than two months' worth of points. She had no reason to refuse.
However, with Amane-san here, she still needed Amane-san's approval to do anything.
"Miyako-san, I don't think it's a good thing to hand over victory to the other side like this. Although our points have increased significantly, if the favored person among us is guessed correctly, 50 points will be deducted. If we're unlucky, our points might even return to what they were before the Uninhabited Island Special Exam."
Compared to Karuizawa's eagerness, Hasebe held an opposing view. Karuizawa immediately retorted upon hearing Hasebe's objection.
"How could there be such a coincidence in the world? Hasebe-san, your worries are unnecessary. Besides, how will they verify that their method is correct? Do they dare to end the exam now? Don't they still have to wait until tomorrow for the favored person to be announced? If the favored person is really among us, we'll definitely know who the favored person is before them. Wouldn't it be fine if we just covered for each other?"
It has to be said that Karuizawa still had some cleverness.
Hasebe was left speechless by Karuizawa's words, and seeing Karuizawa's assertive manner, she didn't want to argue with her and could only shut her mouth.
However, she still opposed making a deal with Class B. She looked at Amane-san expectantly, thinking that Karuizawa's short-sightedness surely wouldn't escape Amane-san's notice.
"Haven't you seen the group chat?"
Amane-san didn't agree with anyone's statement but said something completely unrelated to the current topic.
Hasebe and Karuizawa simultaneously picked up their phones and opened Class D's chat group.
Horikita Suzune explicitly stipulated that no one was allowed to trade with Class B.
Hasebe was immediately overjoyed when she saw this message.
"Horikita-san still thinks things through."
Hasebe's spontaneous exclamation, however, drew Karuizawa's displeasure, who felt that Hasebe was implying her decision was wrong.
"What's there to be proud of? I don't think this is the right way. Although I'm not that knowledgeable, I still understand the principle that it's better to guide than to block. Horikita-san is prohibiting trading now, but there will definitely be classmates with insufficient points who will go to Class B for private transactions. Hmph, the result will still be the same."
As soon as Karuizawa finished speaking, she saw Amane-san glance at her indifferently. Karuizawa thought Amane-san was going to defend Horikita, so she pouted and lowered her head, avoiding Amane-san's gaze.
Although her relationship with Amane-san was good, she knew that Horikita held a unique position in Amane-san's heart. If she, presuming that she had been getting along well with Amane-san recently, crossed the line, Amane-san would definitely find a way to teach her a lesson. Thinking of this, Karuizawa became like a good child and stopped discussing the topic.
Yonezu, seeing that Class D was unwilling to trade, was even more overjoyed. This way, he could save a lot of points. In the end, he bought the numbers of seven people for 50,000 points per poker card number, paying a total of 350,000 individual points. Class D could only watch helplessly as people from other classes earned points, feeling unwilling. The same scenes were repeatedly playing out in all groups.
Privately, complaints from Class D students against Horikita gradually increased. More and more people began to criticize Horikita, saying that people from other classes weren't afraid of the favored person being found, so why was only their Class D afraid?
50,000 points might not be much for other classes, but for Class D students, many of whom were living paycheck to paycheck, it was undoubtedly a huge sum.
Few people could resist such a temptation.
Horikita naturally knew that many people were complaining about this, but she still couldn't understand why Sakayanagi, Katsuragi, and Shiina would agree to the trade. Didn't they want to win?
With confusion, Horikita decided to meet with the leaders of Class A and Class C to ask for their thoughts, but she was informed that they refused to meet. This made Horikita feel a sense of powerlessness for the first time.
She vaguely felt that there was a hidden hand manipulating the direction of this exam, but she didn't know who was interfering, and it was even possible that the other three classes were ganging up on Class D.
Finally, Horikita Suzune, who had been racking her brain day and night, fell ill with a fever at a crucial moment. Ayanokouji Kiyotaka temporarily took over management, but due to his lack of authority, he couldn't control the actions of the Class D students. Coupled with Horikita's illness, a large number of Class D members secretly went to Class B for private transactions, and countless pieces of important poker card number information thus flowed into Class B's hands.
The second discussion meeting quickly came to an end. Amane-san once again drew an intelligence slip, and the clue on it was that the initial sound of the favored person's surname was 'ni'.
