Outsider : Classroom Of The Elite

Chapter 3.2 - Leader

Day 1, 8:45 AM.

"There are multiple spots scattered around the island. Each time you gain possession of one of these spots, you will earn a single bonus point for your class. However, You can't spend any bonus points during the test period. They'll be added to your class total after the test has finished. Each declaration of possession of a spot lasts for eight hours. The class leader has the authority to declare possession." Chabashira continued to explain the rules.

"You said class leader?" Hirata asked, seemingly confused.

"That's right. This keycard is used to take possession of a spot, only the leader gets one. Also, you can't change leaders without 'having a legitimate reason' to do so. In addition to that, on the last day of the test, when we take a role, for each class leader you can correctly identify, your class will be allotted a whopping fifty bonus points right then and there."

"Fifty bonus points?"

"So if we guess all three class' leader, we get a hundred and fifty bonus points?" with this newfound hope, Ike looked at the others with joy on his face. However, his hope was short-lived.

"However, for each incorrect guess you'll lose fifty points, this is a high risk, high return game. It's in your best interests to try to find out who the other class leaders are, but also to make an effort to conceal your leader's identity."

"Whoa! That's...just a bit too much!"

Unfortunately that was more than "just a bit". Fifty class points would mean life and death in the long run.

"Sensei, sorry to interrupt you when you're talking, but that juice from earlier went right through me. Where's the toilet?" Sudou, who seemed uncomfortable suddenly appeared in front of us.

"The toilet, huh? I was about to get to that point. If you want to use the bathroom, use this."

Chabashira grabbed one of the cardboard boxes from the stacked pile. She peeled off the packing tape and took out some collapsed cardboard.

Wow.. That looks like a really comfortable office, nya~

"What the hell is that?" Sudou shouted in disbelief.

"It's a basic toilet. Each class will be supplied with 'one'. Please handle it carefully."

Hold on.

Don't tell me that even if we were to retort to using something like that, we'd only get one 'toilet' per class. It feels... disconcerting just thinking about the fact that forty students would be using the same cardboard box for seven days. What if someone were to crash land while they're dropping bombs?

"Don't tell me we have to use that?!" Shinohara raised her voice in horrified surprise. The others around her also groaned in unison. And I personally doubt the existence of a person who would be comfortable waging a war on top of that box.

"Both the boys and girls will use it. But do not worry, it comes with a single button tent that you can use when you want to change. That way, no one will be able to see you."

"That's not the problem! Th-that's just a cardboard box! This is absolutely impossible!"

She was more concerned about the fact that it was a cardboard box. Apparently forty people waging war over the same battlefield wasn't really a problem to her.

"It might be a cardboard box, but it's an especially well-made one. It can even be used in a disaster. I'll show you how to use it, so please commit this to memory."
