At this point, the truth was finally laid bare.
This Special Exam was not merely a battle of wits and courage among the students. Even the teachers were inevitably drawn into it.
But that was the true Advanced Nurturing High School.
Teachers and students alike had to compete. That had always been the school culture of Advanced Nurturing High School.
People like Hoshinomiya Chie and Sakagami Kazuma had long been protecting their own classes and students. Even with the restrictions imposed by the rules, they were still doing everything they could to help their classes rise higher.
That was why Sakagami Kazuma had done everything possible to protect the trio during the previous violent incident. Even Hoshinomiya Chie had wanted to uncover the truth behind the violence between the two classes, even encouraging the students of Class B to approach Fang Li. Their motives had all been for their classes.
In contrast, Chabashira Sae had always seemed unconcerned with class matters. At times, she had even withheld necessary information from Class D, yet she had opened doors for Fang Li, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, and even Horikita Suzune. Her principles of action were extremely contradictory.
This time, that teacher had finally intervened in the competition between classes.
First, she had used points to hire Fang Li, even crossing the red line of the rules to do so. Then, she had boldly threatened Ayanokoji Kiyotaka with expulsion, completely disregarding how inappropriate such conduct was for a teacher. Chabashira Sae had made the two most capable people in Class D act in this Special Exam.
Therefore, the "beginning" that Fang Li claimed could decide everything might have traced back even earlier.
Perhaps the outcome of this Special Exam had already been decided when Chabashira Sae approached Fang Li, before summer vacation had even begun.
