Hearing these words, the corners of Kazehara Tetsu's mouth rose slightly.
That was the expression after getting a satisfactory answer.
If so, it's much simpler.
"Oh oh oh..."
Just when Kazehara Tetsu was about to straighten up, a somewhat teasing voice floated over from the side.
He kept resting his chin on the back of the chair, seemingly in a daze, but actually he raised his ears to eavesdrop...
In other words, Hoshinomiya Chie, who was listening openly, finally couldn't help but interrupt.
Her eyes, which always seemed to have a spring in their eyes, turned around Kazehara Tetsu, revealing a malicious smile.
"Kagihara, you smile so sinisterly..."
Hoshinomiya Chie curled the ends of his hair with his fingers and said in a lazy tone, "It seems like you are planning to do something bad, right? You actually have to ask such simple exam rules into such complicated and detailed questions."
"How could it be, Hoshinomiya-sensei."
Kazehara Tetsu turned around and faced Class B's "problem teacher".
"I just couldn't quite understand what Majima-sensei said on Class Meeting. I was a little slow, so I wanted to confirm it in private. After all, it's about Expulsion, so it's better to be cautious."
"Liar..."
Hoshinomiya Chie pouted and complained like a little girl, "You guy, I've seen it since Cruise Ship, your stomach is full of bad water. You talk about being slow, but in your heart you must be thinking about how to eat up other classes, right?"
As she said that, she suddenly seemed to remember something, and her eyes turned to Ichinose Honami, who was standing aside with some embarrassment.
"Hey, Honami-chan, you have to be careful."
Hoshinomiya Chie stood up from the chair, walked to Ichinose, put his arm around her shoulders affectionately, leaned into her ear, and spoke in a "whisper" volume that everyone could hear.
"This kid is really a bad boy. He's so dishonest. Teacher, I'm worried that he will bully the simple Honami-chan in the future? For example... cheating for money, sex, etc.?"
"Old... teacher!"
Ichinose Honami's fair cheeks instantly turned red, like a ripe apple.
She was frantically trying to break away from Hoshinomiya's arms, her eyes darting between Kazehara Tetsu and the teacher in a panic.
"Please stop talking nonsense! Kagihara and I... are just ordinary friends! How could something like that happen!"
Seeing Ichinose's innocent yet panicked look, Hoshinomiya Chie smiled even happier.
"Really? They're just friends... What a pity."
She glanced at Kazehara Tetsu with a hint of provocation in her eyes, "He is obviously a very charming boy."
"Okay, Hoshinomiya."
Majima Tomoya spoke up at the right time to interrupt this somewhat over-the-top teasing, frowning slightly, "This is the office, pay attention to Role Model's image."
"Hey...Majima-sensei is so rigid."
Hoshinomiya Chie shrugged, let go of the blushing Ichinose, and sat back down in his seat.
Kazehara Tetsu looked at this scene and was not disturbed by Hoshinomiya's words.
He nodded to Majima, turned around and prepared to leave.
"That...Kazehara-kun!"
Just after taking two steps, the voice of Ichinose Honami came from behind.
She seemed to have finally recovered from her embarrassment, and quickly followed her, walking out of the office door with Kazehara Tetsu and entering the slightly quieter corridor.
"Huh... I really can't stand it Hoshinomiya-sensei."
Ichinose Honami patted his chest and smiled helplessly, "I always like to make jokes like this."
"That's proof that you get along well."
Kazehara Tetsu responded casually.
Ichinose Honami sorted out his emotions and looked at Kazehara Tetsu tentatively.
"Well, if you don't mind... I would like to ask, which class is Class A planning to attack?"
This is not a secret that cannot be disclosed. After all, you have to report it to the teacher in the end.
Kazehara Tetsu looked at the straightforward girl in front of him.
"The class has not been officially decided yet."
"But according to common sense... it's probably Class C or Class D."
"After all... you have to pick the weak one. The average academic performance of these two classes is poor and their abilities are the weakest. From the perspective of obtaining Points, this is the optimal solution."
"Sure enough, that's what I thought..."
Ichinose Honami sighed lightly, with a "Sure enough" expression on his face.
"We have the same opinion."
"But in this case..."
Ichinose's brows frowned slightly, with a hint of worry in his eyes.
"We are about to face the situation of 'Lottery Draw'."
Since everyone wants to pick on the weak, Class A and Class B are likely to name Class C or Class D at the same time.
"At that time, if you are unlucky and Lottery Draw loses... the nomination will be invalidated and the opponent will be randomly assigned."
That kind of uncontrollable randomness is what Ichinose least wants to see.
"It doesn't matter."
Kazehara Tetsu put his hands in his pockets and spoke in a calm tone, as if he was talking about what to have for dinner.
"Whether it's Lottery Draw or random, it doesn't matter who the opponent is."
Whether it's Class C, Class D, or even Class B.
As long as the question is "unsolvable" enough, the defending party will collapse.
"Eh..."
Ichinose Honami looked at Kazehara Tetsu's unstressed look and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Kazehara-kun is really... not worried at all."
"I'm very worried."
"If we are randomly assigned and we are drawn to attack Class A... then it will really be Hell Difficulty. Just thinking about how to break Class A's defense gives me a headache."
She is telling the truth.
Facing all the elite Class A and Class B, it is almost an impossible task to win through this "competition of total points".
"It's okay."
Kazehara Tetsu looked at this frustrated girl and stopped a little.
"Don't belittle yourself too much, Honami."
"The overall score of Class B is actually not much worse than that of Class A. If you just look at the average score, you are also very competitive."
This is a comfort.
But it is also a cruel fact.
It's not that much different, but it's definitely a little "bad".
And in this kind of key to victory or defeat, this little gap is a natural chasm.
"Although it sounds like official consolation..."
Ichinose Honami was stunned for a moment, and then showed a smile with that sign.
"But since it was Kazehara-kun who said it, then I will accept it frankly!"
"Thank you, then I will have to work harder. I will never lose to Class A!"
She waved her hand and left in the other direction.
Kazehara Tetsu looked at her back, which looked particularly dazzling in the afterglow of the setting sun.
