Even Some Class D Students Are Struggling. That's Nice, I Guess, But It Won't Help! (Continued)

Then there are more detailed rules attached.

For example, Classmate Sakayanagi here from Class A is good at chess.

Chess (1 player) playing time limit is 1 hour (overtime will result in loss) rules·Based on standard chess rules.

Command Tower·Instructions can be given after the team member has played 20 hands, and the time consumption is limited, with an upper limit of 30 minutes.

Then there is Abacus Calculation.

Abacus Calculation (2 people) Time 30 minutes. Rules: A number will appear on the screen every 0.0 seconds. Add them all or mix addition and subtraction. There are 15 questions. The correctness and speed will be competed. The class with the first place wins.

Command Tower has one opportunity to change the answer to any question.

The third item is English. However, the English test of Class A is not a cloze test but a test based on the scope of the first grade. It is a complete paper.

This instantly increases the difficulty.

The exam lasted only 30 minutes, which can be said to be a bit stressful.

Just looking at the rules of the exam is a headache.

However, the projects produced by Class D also overlap with those of Class A.

Among them, Class D also has English cloze, but Class D is simpler, just a simple cloze. There is probably someone who is very good at this project.

And chess--

Stopping at the bulletin board, Sakayanagi Arisu said to classmate Oreki, "I didn't expect that Class D would also choose chess."

"Do you think we have a clear understanding of each other?" She said with a smile. "I didn't expect that Class D would also be a master of chess."

She is indeed cute.

But Class D is not such a master.

Rather, what is chess to them? Is it similar to chess or something like that?

I don't know anything about it.

Therefore, this is not a coincidence, but he specifically asked Horikita to write it.

And Horikita Suzune has been selected as the chess player of Class D.

There is only one reason.

Arisu Sakayanagi chose to challenge Class D, perhaps out of jealousy, or perhaps because he hoped that the students of Class A would not be too proud.

Regardless of whether it is a business matter or a private matter, Oreki classmate does not want to see a fight between the two sides.

And Arisu Sakayanagi likes chess very much, and the final test item probably also includes chess.

So.

Oreki did this because he hoped that she could understand what kind of person Horikita was through chess.

There is no need to start a fight.

Considering this, classmate Oreki said.

"Actually, classmate Horikita has decided to participate in the chess project by herself." Oreki said. "She will learn chess from scratch and then face this exam head-on."

Class D If chess is also selected, then Class A's chess project is also selected.

Then among the final 5+5 selection of 7 competition events, there is a high probability that chess can be selected.

"Really?" Arisu Sakayanagi said. "Then we can only let Kamuro be the chess player of our class."

"Although I think classmate Oreki is more suitable, but classmate Oreki is not a newbie, so it seems rude to classmate Horikita." Arisu Sakayanagi let out a cute laugh.

"..." Oreki.

He felt that he still underestimated the thickness of Classmate Sakayanagi's face.

Because when the other party taught him to practice chess, apart from touching his hands, he didn't really learn much.

So he is actually a newcomer here.

Therefore, Kamuro didn't know that he was suddenly assigned a troublesome test item, and he had to practice chess starting from today.

On the other hand, student Oreki headed to the library.

Arisu Sakayanagi usually doesn't play chess with him for the sake of playing chess, but the chess exam will be broadcast live.

If it rains too badly... you won't be able to see anyone.

So I have to take advantage of the two weeks left to catch up and put it on the shelves.

Then it became like this.

"Beep!"

"Student card!"

"[Introduction to chess] [Special techniques of chess] [Chess that even novices can understand]."

Oreki classmate borrowed five or six books.

"It's really an incredible amount." And here in the library, a silver-haired girl sitting in a permanent seat looked over in surprise.

As long as it's time to rest, you can basically find her here on the first floor.

And she just saw that classmate Oreki searched for several books, and then moved all the books over.

"So Oreki's class has decided that chess will be regarded as a formal exam?" Shiina Hiyori said.

During the day, she also went to the bulletin board and saw the 10 exam items submitted by Class A and Class D.

Two of the classes have a chess program.

"Probably." said classmate Oreki. "There is a huge gap in strength between Class A and Class D, so this is the only one that can interest Arisu Sakayanagi."

"This time she pretended to be Command Tower, which can be considered a trick on her, so I took care of her mood a little bit." Oreki said.

"Oh." Hiyori nodded lightly. "Then will classmate Oreki come on stage?"

"Probably not." Oreki said. "I prepared this book for Horikita Suzune. Horikita will become Class D's chess player."

"Arisu Sakayanagi seems to be hostile to classmate Horikita this time." Oreki said. "I hope they can reconcile through playing chess."

Oh.

That's it.

Hiyori nodded slightly.

By the way, Sakayanagi's little princess will be jealous.

I thought she was that kind of super generous person, because some photos of classmate Oreki were circulated from Kikyou Kushida and Sakura, and Classmate Sakayanagi seemed to have participated in the purchase.

But this channel has never been discontinued.

As a result, he actually becomes jealous of an honest person like Horikita Suzune.

A little surprised.

After all, no matter how you look at it, Classmate Sakayanagi can win.

Oh no.

Could it be said that classmate Oreki actually prefers Horikita Suzune?

Actually no.

Oreki classmate just helped the weaker party.

He has always chosen the middle ground.

So.

In the evening, Horikita Suzune was called out and asked to completely master the rules of chess in a short period of time, and Oreki would give her chess guidance starting the day after tomorrow.

And classmate Oreki said so.

"The only winning projects in your class are Sudou and Kōenji."

"So the guarantee is only 2 wins. And this is without me showing up."

"This exam will take 7 rounds."

"At the same time, every exam will be broadcast live. And this live broadcast can be seen by classmates in the class, and may also be seen by people who are not classmates in the class." Oreki said.

In other words, I don't ask you to win, but don't lose too badly, right?

Although she was sure that she was the loser from the beginning, she was still a little unconvinced.

"I accepted this challenge." Horikita Suzune said.

She believed that her academic and athletic abilities were not bad, but she stayed in this school for almost a year and was beaten many times, so she did not deliberately participate in academic or athletic events.

She also knows that she cannot win with her own strength.

Because we are facing Class A, we cannot obtain absolute crushing power.

But now, the only thing that can participate is chess, which the whole class can't do, and in fact, she can't do it either.

So.

The game of Command Tower exam between Class A and Class D was laid out.

But.

"Didi!"

Oreki classmate received the message here.

But after just one glance, he put down the phone.

"Can I just ignore it?"

Student Horikita has been asked by Oreki to familiarize himself with the rules of chess, and is placing the chess pieces and accepting his guidance.

Oreki is different from Yanagi in that he doesn't touch other people's hands excessively, so he only gives formal guidance to Horikita.

Horikita is a newbie, and so is he.

But it does not prevent him from reading a lot of books, watching a lot, and reciting a lot of chess records. As long as the number reaches a certain level, he can feel the feeling of "enlightenment".

This is a quick fix.

This is also how classmate Oreki hopes that classmate Horikita will master it and then present it to Classmate Sakayanagi.

If Horikita is asked to learn chess, then she will learn chess. So, how can such a well-behaved person pose any threat?

"It was a classmate in the class who reported that Yukimura of your class made a private appointment with Katsuragi." said classmate Oreki. "Probably he wanted to get from Katsuragi the five items that Class A would really take the exam for."

"Yukimura Did they do such a thing?" Horikita was stunned.

"Generally speaking, you can't survive in this school if you are too upright."

"But you'd better not touch some things." said classmate Oreki.

There is another reason why Arisu Sakayanagi would declare war on Class D so easily.

Class D has too many spies, so the project and even the strategy planned by Horikita may have been betrayed.

Therefore, Class D will definitely fail in this exam.

And this is probably why Ayanokoji said without hesitation that as Command Tower he would not be able to perform and would just wait to lose.

The enemies are all in the base camp, so this kind of battle cannot be fought at all.

And Katsuragi was asked out by Yukimura, will Katsuragi be incited to rebel?

It's really nothing to worry about.

No need to worry at all.

Katsuragi was asked out by Yukimura of Class D.

"Although my time is not very valuable, I can't be asked out casually." Katsuragi came to the shoe cabinet.

Then he looked at Yukimura Teruhiko who asked him out.
