This Fat Boar Fell Asleep. How About We...!! (cont.)
Has Koenji considered the consequences?
The situation now is different from the Behavioral Norms Exam after enrollment. Back then, everyone was losing points, and there was no hope of recovery, so nobody cared who caused the point deductions.
Even Nakano Yuu spent his study time sleeping. He knew very well that even if he performed well, the class would still get a zero.
So, let's just give up.
But things are different now.
Class D still managed to get 50 points in last month's Special Exam, which used old questions.
It's the result of the whole class's hard work. The score isn't high, but losing it still carries some risk.
Do you want to know why, after Nakano Yuu tricked the students in Class D into submitting their phones, he still included the condition "[No attacks on Class D]" when buying and selling the spots?
Because the most promising and talented students in your class can really cause you trouble under certain exam conditions.
He was very clear about this.
But there's one person who doesn't know that.
The setting sun cast its gentle glow upon the cruise ship's open-air swimming pool, creating shimmering ripples on the water's surface.
Meanwhile, Koenji Rokusuke floated on his back in the center of the pool, his golden hair flowing in the water like a swaying seaweed. He closed his eyes, enjoying the tranquility of his solitude.
A glass of freshly squeezed juice sat on a lounge chair by the pool. Koenji swam to the edge, braced himself against the pool wall with one hand, and easily flipped himself ashore. Water droplets slid down his muscular abs, refracting into shimmering glimmers in the sunlight.
He picked up his juice and sipped it slowly. The sounds of other students laughing and joking drifted from afar, but he ignored them. In his eyes, these mediocre classmates were nothing more than background figures, not even worthy of his attention.
"You seem quite relaxed."
The sudden sound made Koenji turn his head slightly. It turned out that Nakano Yuu had been standing by the pool at some point, his hands in his pockets, calmly looking at Koenji.
"What's up?"
Koenji asked lazily, taking another sip of juice.
"Regarding the Monkey Group exam."
Nakano Yuu took a few steps closer. "You ended the exam early, causing Class D to lose points. That's not a good thing."
Koenji chuckled and casually placed the empty cup on the recliner, "A mere point deduction, what can those mediocre students in Class D do to me?"
Yes.
Can Class D still retaliate?
But.
Nakano Yuu opened his hand, "Under normal circumstances, it's indeed impossible, but it's also possible. For example, if it's an exam where the students in the class can choose, then you'll be eliminated."
"Oh?"
Koenji turned around, looking at Nakano Yuu with interest. "Are you warning me?"
"Just a reminder."
Nakano Yuu said calmly, "Class D is much more complicated than you think. With this attitude, you'll get yourself into trouble sooner or later."
Koenji shrugged dismissively. "Let them try. I want to see what a bunch of mediocre people can achieve."
A ripple suddenly spread across the pool's surface, and a sea breeze blew in, carrying a salty, damp scent. Nakano Yuu's gaze passed over Koenji, looking towards the distant horizon. "I hope you won't regret it later."
"Regret?"
Koenji seemed to find something amusing, "That word doesn't exist in my dictionary."
He jumped back into the pool, splashing water that wet Nakano Yuu's trouser legs. But Nakano Yuu didn't move, simply watching Koenji's figure swimming in the water.
He was calm.
To the average person, he was just there to give Koenji a heads-up. However, in reality, the original story will have Class Vote on whether or not someone will be expelled next semester.
At that time, all students, regardless of your academic ability, athletic ability, or relationship with you, will have the potential to vote for your expulsion. Yes, you can be voted out by the students in your class! As long as you are in this class, all your classmates can judge you. This is Special Exam for this school, and the exam format and content are also very unique, so it's wise to be cautious.
Nakano Yuu knows this Class D very well.
In the original story, this class, driven by certain individuals, wanted to vote for the male protagonist to drop out of school. And a large number of students agreed.
That's right.
This class wants to vote out their class's top student, and although there are people pushing for it, it's still a bit outrageous.
Nakano, who is also very protective of his reputation, is in a class full of problem children.
After all.
He was unlike anyone in the original story, and by the time the class's withdrawal exam came around, he probably already had a solid figure of over 20 million in his hands.
So.
Given that he was forced to drop out Matoba school, would his Student Council ignore him?
No, it won't.
Hirata's mother will first approach you, hoping you'll contribute points so the whole class can get through this disaster. But that's Nakano Yuu's money, and he's already announced to the class that points can be converted into cash, so this approach will likely shut them up. Because do you really want a student to spend 20 million? Who's going to pay it back then?
However, the exams are open to all, so they can still vote for him. Once they vote for him, he will have no choice but to pay the fees to avoid being expelled.
The mere thought of such an act is disgusting.
So.
Now that we have points, we need to plan ahead. For example, we need a student to share the firepower.
And now.
Koenji, you're the one who jumped out here.
What a good friend.
If you are unsociable, undermine the interests of the class, or ignore Special Exam, you will be in great danger when the Class Vote school.
Unlike Koenji, Nakano Yuu is not a lone wolf. He has the useful tool Horikita, the intelligence-gathering expert Kushida Kikyou, the leader of the gyaru (gal) group Karuizawa, and the rather cute Karuizawa. Then there's the ordinary spy Sakura Matsushita Chiaki, whom he turned against Sakayanagi.
There's even Chabashira-sensei who can be fooled with very few points.
Therefore, even if he encounters this kind of exam, although he might be targeted by some students, he is still safe. With these votes, he can protect himself.
From this perspective, the only potential threat is one person.
If the ex-girlfriend of the former leader of Class A were to encounter a situation related to dropping out of school, Classmate Sakayanagi might try to interfere with him.
Hmm.
Therefore, don't break up with a girl easily, or she'll hold a grudge.
Thinking this, Nakano Yuu returned to the restaurant, while Koenji, who was in the swimming pool, surfaced and watched Nakano Yuu's figure.
His mood remained unchanged.
But for some reason, the conversation left a strange feeling in his heart, like an undercurrent suddenly appearing in a swimming pool, stirring up the calm surface.
He knew that Nakano was no ordinary person, but his words had a certain foresight.
In other words, can those mediocre people in Class D really screw him over? With those mediocre people?!
Nakano-kun is being far too cautious!
Anyway, once he collects 20 million points, he won't need to stay in Class D anymore.
With these thoughts in mind, Koenji felt much lighter.
Because his Student ID Card account now has 5 million. A quarter of the way there. Easy peasy!
Little did he know that on that day, even he, who had always enjoyed a smooth and carefree life, would feel pressure for the first time in his life.
7:30 PM.
The discussion is scheduled for 8-9 PM.
Nakano Yuu decided to head to the Rabbit Group's room ahead of time because he had confirmed that Ichinose had arrived, and had been there for about 10 minutes.
You can see her enthusiasm for dealing with the exam arrangements of these schools.
Actually, Nakano Yuu saw Ichinose at the restaurant in the evening. Since she had other companions with her, he didn't approach her. It was clear that they had probably already spoken with Sakayanagi.
So they weren't in high spirits. Ichinose even comforted the students in the class.
Her compromise was to decide on outcome one to ensure that the two VIP would not be identified.
From this perspective, the seemingly impossible path in the first grade has somehow come full circle, which is quite ingenious.
However, the sacrifices were significant. Two classes have already had points deducted, and Ryuuen was even more unlucky, losing an additional 50 points. As a result, six other groups also lost their chance to advance to the final round.
So even if everything goes smoothly in the end, the remaining half of the students will receive less than 10 million points from the school combined.
With such fixed exam results, no student would be enthusiastic about the twice-daily assemblies anymore. They would simply wait patiently for the final day to receive the results, then split the money, and that would be the end of it.
However, facing a discussion where everyone would become passive and lose their composure, Nakano Yuu chose to arrive at the Rabbit Group's room half an hour early.
Since they started following her from the evening, Nakano Yuu noticed that Ichinose had a little tail following her around. It was Sakayanagi 'Kamuro personal puppy.
Kosaka Sakayanagi acted swiftly; he had only just finished a phone call with her and inquired whether Ichinose knew her when she arranged for Kamuro to follow them.
The specific identification method was that Nakano Yuu thought Kamuro was following him, so he took the initiative to step forward. Normally, if a stalker is discovered, they will panic and run away, as evidenced by Sakura. But even though he, the one being followed, appeared and even got close to her, Kamuro didn't run away.
This means she wasn't following him, so the only person she could really be following is Ichinose Honami.
In the original work, Sakayanagi Arisu had this kind of hobby, liking to arrange for her students to follow people. Yamamura, whom we met at the coffee shop, was able to do such a good job of spying. On the one hand, Yamamura was introverted and had a low profile. On the other hand, Sakayanagi discovered this characteristic and then put her in the job of following people.
However, the fact that Sakayanagi would arrange for Kamuro to do such a thing means one thing: congratulations, Kamuro, you've now entered Sakayanagi's red line, and can be considered one of her reliable friends for now.
Then, by becoming someone Sakayanagi trusts more, there will be more things I can do for him.
Thinking this way.
Nakano Yuu pushed open the door to the Rabbit Group discussion room. He knew that Ichinose Honami had entered the room 10 minutes ago, and that she should be the only one inside now.
However, upon opening the door, an unexpected scene unfolded before their eyes.
A cute and charming young girl is sleeping on the Banjo inside; this is Ichinose Honami.
Her long, golden-pink hair cascaded down like a waterfall, a few strands gently resting on her cheeks, trembling slightly with her breath. Her long eyelashes cast a soft shadow beneath her eyelids, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, as if she were having a sweet dream.
Her uniform jacket was casually draped to one side, her phone was clutched in her hand, and the collar of her white shirt was slightly open, revealing her fair neck, making her appear both languid and unguarded.
The ship's floor was made of wood, so it didn't appear dirty.
The issue wasn't about whether it was dirty or not; rather, she was wearing a short skirt, which made the bottom of the skirt partially visible.
So.
Can you see it? No, you can see it.
I saw it!
It was blue and white stripes, which surprised Nakano-kun. He felt she might be better suited to something sexier, like red. Pink would probably work too.
Oh.
Should we wake her up?
But that doesn't seem right either.
After all, she looked like she was just resting, then she arrived early, and then she probably felt sleepy after dinner.
Everything seemed normal.
After Nakano entered, he remained quiet and didn't even move, because he knew very well that if someone was a light sleeper, they would wake up at the slightest sound.
Then you won't be able to see such beautiful scenery anymore.
And her thighs are so smooth and beautiful, isn't that super cute?
Nakano admitted to the charm of this beautiful girl who was ranked first in her grade.
Some people can be very deep sleepers, so much so that they wouldn't even know if someone touched them while they were asleep.
Hmm.
Nakano noticed that although Kushida was quite nice, he was completely useless in front of Ichinose, while Horikita never showed him her underwear or anything, and always acted very composed.
Therefore, my resistance in this area is still quite weak.
In other words...
