After leaving a list, Kaoru Mitoma and Katsuragi Kouhei departed from Class C camp.
Ryuuen picked up the list and glanced at it, unable to help but sneer.
It was indeed quite stingy, adding up to only about a hundred points. He had originally wanted to squeeze some personal points from Class A, but who knew they would be so penny-pinching.
Though he was displeased, Ryuuen couldn't do anything about Class A, as there were no extra clients.
After the incident with Amikura Mako, Class B was unlikely to do business with him and Class D was a bunch of broke students with no resources to exploit, barely able to afford food, let alone have any desire to spend.
"What should we do next?" Ibuki Mio, who had been observing the entire process, finally spoke up beside Ryuuen.
"Hmph, of course, we prepare the next plan. You and Kaneda come here" Ryuuen waved to Kaneda Satoru not far away, then called over Ishizaki Daichi and Albert.
"Now is the time we need you, so don't let me down."
Ibuki Mio initially felt confused, but she quickly realized what Ryuuen was planning.
This guy would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

With some time left before the stronghold ownership updated, Class A camp was mostly set up, just waiting for Class C supplies. Before that, Class A had been starving.
Katsuragi Kouhei didn't let everyone idle either, sending many out to search for edible food.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kaoru Mitoma secretly exchanged for the automatic hunting machine he had drawn not long ago.
Though he had mentally prepared himself, seeing the actual machine before him still left him in utter silence.
"This is the automatic hunting machine?" Kaoru Mitoma reached out, but it didn't even acknowledge him, completely ignoring its owner.
In this situation, the wishing machine seriously informed him that this was the deadliest predator, despite its small size.
*****
"Don't mess with me, this is a cat, right?" Kaoru Mitoma said, his face dark with frustration.
It was even smaller than his palm.
The Wish Machine refuted his statement, emphasizing that this terrifying killing machine would bring back a considerable amount of prey for him.
After listening, Kaoru Mitoma wore a skeptical expression, which annoyed the Wish Machine so much that it refused to speak to him.
Since the boss was so insistent, Kaoru Mitoma had no choice but to let the automatic hunting machine go out and hunt, hoping it would yield some results.
He hoped it wouldn't catch any small insects.
After doing this, Kaoru Mitoma wandered around the area for a while before returning to Class A campsite. The focus of the campsite was mostly inside the cave.
Katsuragi Kohei had actually laid out sanitary pads on the ground.
He had flattened cardboard boxes first, placed them at the bottom, then laid the sanitary pads on top, and finally pressed another layer of cardboard on top, trying to make it as comfortable as possible for lying down.
Now that they had supplies from Class C, Katsuragi was considering whether to buy blankets to prevent some students from getting cold at night, as the cave was too cool.
The free tents weren't wasted either, they were also set up inside the cave.
One tent could accommodate eight people, and they planned to take turns sleeping in them.
To prevent mosquitoes and dampness, Katsuragi had originally planned to buy insect repellent and moisture-proof items, but with the supplies from Class C, he could wait for now.
As for the water issue, it was quite troublesome.
Katsuragi planned to have Class C purchase drinking water and food, while water for bathing would be collected from the nearby river.
Class D had chosen a campsite downstream, while Class A was closer to the upstream.
Although the two classes were currently unaware of each other.
Near the campsite, there was a wooden cabin that served as a base and contained tools like fishing rods.
Katsuragi planned to assign a few experienced students to handle fishing.
Seeing that Class A situation was looking good, Kaoru Mitoma decided to take it easy.
All he had to do next was check in at the base and find the other leaders, and this special exam would basically be over.
Just as he was resting for a while, Kamuro Masumi approached him.
"There are wild fruits here. Do you want to eat some?"
Kaoru Mitoma looked at the fruit in her hand. It was small and delicate, like a strawberry, but dark purple.
He couldn't help but ask "Do you think this is edible?"
Kamuro face darkened, and she said irritably.
"I found these with Morishita and the others. Eat it or don't!"
"No, I'm just worried you might get sick from eating it."
"I'm worried too, that's why I'm giving you some."
"…"
No wonder you're being so nice—you're using me as a guinea pig.
"Don't worry, these are black bean tree fruits. They're edible" Morishita Ai chimed in, kindly reminding them.
"Does Morishita know a lot about the wilderness?" Kaoru Mitoma asked, surprised.
However, Morishita shook her head.
"Yamamura Miki told me about it. She seems to have seen this fruit before."
Yamamura Miki?
Hearing the name, Kaoru Mitoma recalled a girl with a side ponytail.
He had noticed her before, but he never had the chance to strike up a conversation.
"Are you satisfied now?" Kamuro said.
"Or are you still worried I'm trying to poison you?"
Kaoru Mitoma awkwardly smiled.
It seemed Kamuro already knew the answer.
"Of course, I wouldn't refuse something my good friend gives me. Let me have a taste."
"Too late, you can only have two" Kamuro Masumi said with a smug smile as she picked out the two smallest fruits and shoved them into Kaoru Mitoma hands.
Kaoru Mitoma silently placed the fruits in his mouth, then stared at her without blinking.
At first, Kamuro Masumi was confused, unsure of what he was doing. But then her cheeks flushed red, and without hesitation, she kicked at him.
"Damn it, how can you be so perverted just eating a fruit?"
Kaoru Mitoma dodged her kick, swallowed the fruits, and asked.
"Who's being perverted?"
"Can't I just find it disgusting?"
Kamuro Masumi was furious.
Doing something like that in front of her felt as if he were licking her fingers.
This pervert was getting worse by the day!
Today, she was determined to teach Kaoru Mitoma a lesson.
However, just as the two began to fight, Totsuka Yahiko shouted in annoyance.
"Hey, hey, hey! You two idiots, stop running around! I'm trying to start a fire here. Can you not keep circling around me?"
To avoid inhaling too much carbon dioxide, Class A could only start a fire at the entrance of the cave, and Totsuka Yahiko was in charge of this crucial task.
Well, he had been at it for half an hour and still hadn't managed to produce a single spark.
Suddenly scolded, Kamuro Masumi finally regained her composure.
She glared coldly at Kaoru Mitoma and decided not to chase him anymore.
Kaoru Mitoma nonchalantly walked out of the cave and saw Class C bringing over their supplies.
He glanced up, estimating that the timing was about right.
Earlier, he had noticed on the Marauder's Map that both Class B and Class D were staying near their respective bases, clearly choosing them as their campsites.
However, due to the exam rules, they could only wait anxiously for the ownership to update.
The condition was that both classes had to make it in time for roll call.
Since Kaoru Mitoma had checked in at the base at noon, the update would occur around seven or eight in the evening, coinciding with roll call.
If they didn't make it, they would have to find another way.
