Classroom of the Elite: Houtarou Oreki

But compared to Kamuro from Class A or Kinoshita from Ryuuen Class, there was still a gap.

So the chances of taking first place were slim.

As for first place among the boys...

Heh.

There was Oreki, who had kept pace with the Student Council President in last year's relay race, then the wildman-like Kōenji, and Sudou from Class C, that absolute cheat.

Was that actually an option?

The proposal was eye-opening.

Rokosuke Kōenji had been the shadow hanging over their Class B, having forcefully harvested 600 class evaluation Points in the Uninhabited Island exam.

How could they get Kōenji or Oreki to come over?

Kōenji had saved enough Points to go straight to Class A.

And he received Class A's income every month.

So he would be difficult to lure over.

As for Oreki,

he was not
