The Special Exam Begins!

It was as if some taboo had been violated.

"Don't worry, Kamuro."

Nakano Yuu called out the other person's name.

"Even if Classmate Sakayanagi sees this, I'll say it's all my fault."

"Of course, she shouldn't be angry because you're around."

Nakano Yuu added.

"Based on my understanding of her, she wouldn't see you as a rival in love."

Hateful.

Kamuro, already disgruntled about dropping out of class, became even more unhappy.

"However, the atmosphere in your class doesn't seem to be very good right now."

Nakano Yuu added.

I suppose it was just making conversation out of nothing.

Because there were still a few minutes before the movie started, which meant awkward small talk.

"Whose fault do you think this is?"

However, the mere mention of Kamuro makes him react like a cat whose tail has been stepped on.

"Mom, do you have to be so nervous?"

However, Nakano said...

"Anyway, Sakayanagi will cover for you, or rather, she's been waiting for this moment, when Katsuragi suffers a defeat... that's when she'll make her move."

"So, everything is still within Sakayanagi's prediction; Sakayanagi will direct the second exam."

"Nakano Yuu said."

I think she'll contact you.

"What are you saying all of a sudden? How could there possibly be a second exam...?"

Kamuro's expression remained unchanged, but soon, her cell phone rang in her pocket.

It's a ringtone.

And this was an incoming call.

Nakano Yuu then watched as she took out Sakayanagi Arisu's phone.

It would be strange to call a student "at school" at this time, so it must have been Sakayanagi who called through other channels.

So it was a call from Sakayanagi!

It's here!

Nakano-kun felt that he and Sakayanagi were really a good match. He had just mentioned her and made her a topic of conversation when she called him.

Kamuro glanced at Nakano Yuu, then answered the call.

But.

"It took several seconds for them to answer my call."

As soon as the call connected, Sakayanagi Arisu's voice came through the phone, "Kamuro, you're being naughty."

"Let me guess, you're with Nakano-kun, aren't you?"

Good afternoon, Nakano-kun.

Sakayanagi's voice came through.

"Or would it be better to call you 'ex-boyfriend-san'?"

"..."

Nakano Yuu.

All right.

Such a poor fit is quite alarming.

Chapter 84: The VIP Exam Begins!

Nakano obediently walked away, keeping a four-seat distance from Kamuro, and waited for Sakayanagi and Kamuro to finish their call.

About five or six minutes later, the movie started.

However, Kamuro handed him the phone, meaning that Sakayanagi was looking for it.

But now the call has ended, and we're still in the movie theater with the sound incredibly loud. How can we continue the conversation?

Thinking this, Sakayanagi's phone screen lit up; a message had been sent.

To be precise, Sakayanagi used other people's phones to call hers, and now she's even borrowing other people's phones...

Now, Nakano-kun is also quickly typing on Sakayanagi's phone.

[Nakano Yuu: Now that your phone is with me, whose phone are you using right now?]

[Sakayanagi: Oh, it seems Nakano-kun's possessiveness is still quite strong. Don't worry, this isn't a boy's phone.]

[Sakayanagi: But you can remember this number. It's from a kind and gentle upperclassman.]

Although Sakayanagi sometimes says the opposite of what she means, since she borrowed someone else's phone and then used it to send messages, it was very easy for the phone owner to see it.

Therefore, what Sakayanagi is saying now is probably the truth.

So, what kind and gentle upperclassmen will there be in the second year?

Nakano is thinking.

The upperclassmen in the second year can be divided into three categories: ordinary ones, those who are considered beautiful girls and have received attention from Nagumo, and those who completely ignore Nagumo.

Although Sakayanagi didn't take the Island Exam, he had a lot of time at school to interact with older students.

However, Classmate Sakayanagi probably won't associate with ordinary students.

After all, birds of a feather flock together, and if subordinates are incompetent, one will also be affected.

So she might choose students who are good-looking, capable, and have some useful qualities.

So, the fact that she's using this senior's phone to send messages suggests that this senior might have some feelings for her. She probably wants to use the other person's phone.

In the original work, there are only two well-known upperclassmen in the second year: one is Miyabi Nagumo 'Asahina Nazuna childhood friend and classmate.

The other one is the female version of Koenji from the original Class A, who also has a nickname, Beautiful Sister. Her name is Kiryuin Fuuka.

Similar to Koenji, she possesses exceptional physical abilities, athletic talent, explosive academic abilities, and an extremely clear way of thinking. She is a noblewoman from a famous family.

However, she is rather unconventional and prefers the life of an ordinary person.

Although she came to this school, she didn't work hard for her class, showing no sense of collective responsibility. She just watched as her class was surpassed by Nagumo's class and fell to Class B. This was true of Koenji, Nakano Yuu, and now Kiryuin. They didn't come to this class to become workhorses and sacrifice for it; their first consideration was the value of their actions—whether they wanted to help the class. In other words, having absolute strength meant having more choices, and then they made their choices. There's nothing more to say about that.

Since Kiryuin- senpai is, after all, a noble lady, it's not difficult for Sakayanagi Arisu, who is also a member of high society, to know her and make contact with her.

However, Kiryuin- senpai isn't exactly described as "gentle and kind." If I had to describe her, I'd say she's "rebellious and free-spirited."

In the original story, the protagonist was simply being harassed by the Chairman, so he took the initiative to jump down and fight the Chairman with martial arts.

It completely disregards normal rules.

Therefore, the "gentle and kind" upperclassman that Sakayanagi mentioned can only be Asahina Nazuna, the childhood friend from Class 2-A, Nagumo's class.

The senior student in the original work, although she has a certain level of sophistication, is surprisingly pure-hearted, believes in destiny, wants to encounter true love, and is also prone to tears.

Let's say it can achieve what Sakayanagi described as "gentleness and kindness".

Considering that Sakayanagi has no feelings for Nagumo, the probability of her being with Nagumo's childhood friend increases.

Thinking this way.

Do you know this number?

Nakano Yuu typed out the phone number that Sakayanagi had just called, word by word, into his phone and then forwarded it to Kushida.

[Read]

The other party's read speed is still quite fast.

But.

For almost 30 seconds, the message "The other party is typing" did not appear in the chat box.

In other words, Kushida saw his message but completely ignored him?

"Regarding the upcoming Special Exam."

Nakano Yuu added something.

This time, the message he sent was quickly marked as "read." Clearly, Kushida was probably spying on him.

"It's not a first-year student's number."

Kushida's message finally arrived.

"I have most of the first-year students' phone numbers, and I've edited them and put them in a document. These numbers are different from ours; they should be in the second-year format."

Oh.

Oh, I see.

So you're practically a born informant.

Moreover, collecting the phone numbers of an entire grade level without making a sound is indeed quite impressive.

Nakano Yuu discovered other uses for Kushida.

"Does anyone know specifically who's in the second year? This is very important to me."

Nakano Yuu continued texting Kushida using his own phone, but his attention remained focused on Sakayanagi's phone.

Kamuro has already given Sakayanagi's phone to him, and doesn't seem to be taking it back immediately, meaning that no one knows what he will do with Sakayanagi's phone.

So he opened the album, which is where photos taken with the camera are stored.

Unfortunately, Classmate Sakayanagi doesn't have a single selfie.

Or rather, there isn't a single photo!

Hey, hey, hey, this phone is over two months old, and you haven't taken a single photo? You don't have to take photos of yourself, but you could at least take some pictures of your pet once in a while.

As Nakano Yuu was thinking this, a message notification popped up at the top of his phone.

[Nakano-kun, are you looking at my phone's photo album?]

[Unfortunately, I'm not the type to take selfies. So you're probably going to be disappointed.]

[However, since you've done that, it's only fair that I check your phone after you return from school.]

As you know, I'm not one to like being taken advantage of.

So, if you don't want to suffer a loss, you have to look at his phone?

Is this an excuse to check his phone?

This is terrible!

So, is this how you borrow his phone? The real purpose is to check it!

Nakano Yuu understood that, just as he understood Sakayanagi, Classmate Sakayanagi probably knew what kind of person he was.

Nakano then became obedient and continued to send messages to Sakayanagi using Sakayanagi's phone.

[Nakano Yuu: So, since you specifically contacted me using a second-year student's phone, is there something you need?]

[Sakayanagi: I'm here to congratulate you. Because of your performance, I have to take the second exam.]

"..."

As expected, Classmate Sakayanagi's ultimate move was originally planned for this spot.

But.
