So, Sakayanagi's Handpicked Selection, Then?

"Of course, I want to destroy your hopes, just as you destroyed mine. But what's past can't be changed, so I also want you to know that Class D is Class D, and there's no way to climb up. Even if you do, I'll crush you."

Despite her cute appearance, Hoshinomiya-sensei unexpectedly uttered terrifying words.

This is similar to Kushida kicking the railing and cursing Horikita; they make no attempt to hide their malice.

Nakano Yuu realized from this that it wasn't that Hoshinomiya-sensei was concerned about the danger he posed to Ichinose Class, but rather that Hoshinomiya-sensei himself wanted to target Chabashira and thus wanted to crush any hope Chabashira-sensei have.

That's really weird.

It's clear that the kids educated at this school are not good children.

So, Nakano used the same tactic he had used on Kushida: he took out his phone and started recording!

"The reason I assigned Ichinose to the Rabbit Group is simple: to help her connect with Nakano. Ichinose is beautiful, has a great personality, and is the school's most beautiful girl. Do you think any ordinary guy could resist her charm? Even just a brief encounter can quickly spark a liking. That's a powerful weapon for girls."

"That's what the Hoshinomiya said."

"..."

Chabashira remained silent.

"And Nakano-kun will soon have collected 20 million points, won't he?"

Hoshinomiya, however, continued speaking without any attempt to conceal her intentions.

"If he becomes Ichinose, he'll most likely end up in his girlfriend's class, right?"

"After all, in this competitive atmosphere between classes, couples from different classes are more likely to run into problems, so to ensure the relationship, it's definitely better to be in the same class."

So.

The reason Hoshinomiya assigned Ichinose Honami to the Rabbit Group was... to seduce Nakano Yuu, who had the ability to transfer classes, using romance and her good looks.

They removed Nakano Yuu from Class D and then moved her to her class.

Her intention wasn't to strengthen her class or weaken Class D; it was purely to retaliate against Chabashira.

They wanted to completely eliminate any chance of Chabashira being promoted.

Grass.

So this guy is absolutely insane.

They actually want to assign Ichinose to do this kind of thing.

Even though Ichinose who was going to seduce him, Nakano Yuu still felt uneasy.

Because Hoshinomiya-sensei, as a teacher, is unqualified. And although Chabashira also has a serious illness, at least she made the other party realize the situation and had no choice but to give up. But Hoshinomiya, that guy Hoshinomiya has no bottom line.

Under such a homeroom teacher, the students' lives are miserable.

They were treated as something crueler than tools.

"Hoshinomiya, your behavior has gone too far."

However, Mr. Mashima, with a strong sense of justice, frowned and said...

"Isn't what you're doing a bit too much for your own students?"

Is that too much?

However, the Hoshinomiya said.

"I was simply giving Ichinose a chance to take the initiative."

"I'm not that unreasonable."

She said.

"My goal is indeed what I just said, and Sae knows very well why I did it."

And Mashima- sensei fell silent.

Actually, he knew it too. Because in the past, they were students in the same batch.

Chabashira Hoshinomiya's class climbed from Class D to Class B, and in their final semester before graduation, their scores were less than 300 points away from Class A.

At this time, the school held a very special withdrawal exam, and Class B was ultimately unable to receive the corresponding reward due to the opposition of one of the students in Chabashira.

In the end, Mashima- sensei's Class A unscathed.

It's fair to say that Class B was a tough opponent for them back then. If Class B hadn't underperformed at that time, Class A might have really been in danger.

Therefore, it was normal for the students in Class B at that time to harbor resentment towards Chabashira.

However, Mashima didn't feel there was much of a difference, because ultimately, aren't all three students in both classes now taught at this school?

But.

"I know, Ichinose has a crush on Nakano-kun from your class."

However, Hoshinomiya suddenly added.

All eyes turned to them.

98

Chapter 98 So, does that mean it's Sakayanagi's Choice?

"I know, Ichinose. She has a crush on Nakano-san from Class D, so I was just encouraging her."

"That's what the Hoshinomiya said."

When she said that, everyone's eyes turned to her.

Hoshinomiya continued, "That child, although very well-behaved, isn't very proactive, and doesn't even understand that love is about taking something away."

"And Ichinose probably understands what I want her to do."

All right.

Nakano remained silent.

So, he thought that seeing Ichinose so unguarded in the room where they were discussing things yesterday meant that it might not have been just that she ate too much for dinner and then went to sleep because she was sleepy.

He noticed a detail: after he woke Ichinose up, she checked her phone before the students from Class B arrived.

This action is somewhat strange.

However, if that's the interpretation, it's not surprising.

If Ichinose accepted Hoshinomiya's advice and began to make her move, then her falling asleep unguarded in front of him was not a coincidence, but rather intentional.

If it was intentional, then it would explain why Ichinose had arrived a few minutes earlier, was asleep when he came to the Rabbit Group's room. And she was so alluring; at least, an ordinary student wouldn't take off their coat just to doze off.

Secondly, after she and her classmates finished sending the message, the students from Class B arrived.

Therefore, it is highly likely that she had arranged for students to keep watch for her in places like the corridors outside, and that she would not allow other people to come over, but would let him come over.

So this is a special event specifically for him: [Ichinose is asleep].

So, did he actually miss an opportunity to be seduced? So, is it actually okay to touch Ichinose's thighs?

With this in mind, Nakano-kun couldn't sleep well that night.

However, the class group chat exploded the next day.

At 9 o'clock sharp, the points rewards from the school's exam were immediately distributed. Students who had earned points received a transfer of money through their Student ID Card.

Students who want to hide their points can also send an email to the school to have their point cards forwarded.

However, there have been changes in Class D as well.

[Class 1-D Group (41 members including the homeroom teacher)]

Yamauchi: I'm so envious! You guys have reached the required points. Honestly, you should have gotten an average score on this exam.

Sudo: I think we shouldn't divide it equally, since the points are already in everyone's accounts.

Matsushita Chiaki: I think what you need to focus on is that our class got 0 points again.

Yukimura Teruhiko (adjusting his glasses): Yes, I also wondered why we suddenly got 0 points. It wasn't because everyone's phones were confiscated, so we couldn't answer first and therefore wouldn't have made a mistake.

Sotomura: The students in Class B said that there was a pattern to the VIP, and they deduced the pattern, so they know the information about the VIP in our Class B.

Kushida Kikyou (As expected, she got 0 points in her class, but she'll pretend she doesn't know anything): Is there a pattern to the VIP?

Yukimura Teruhiko: Judging from the exam results, our class lost points, so there are only two possibilities: we answered incorrectly, or someone else answered correctly.

Hirata Yousuke (Just as Nakano-kun said, Koenji is in danger): Now that the exams are over, let's not dwell on it. After all, overall, we're doing pretty well.

Yamauchi: Of course not! You guys keep taking the test and the one who got result one refuses to share the points, so now I've lost my monthly allowance of 5000 points. Bang!

Yamauchi: Who did this? The class lost points, I can't accept that. I'm going to investigate!

Yukimura Teruhiko (adjusting his glasses): Let me check the test results. There were 6 groups. In the first round, 6 groups competed to answer questions, and 4 groups answered correctly, while 2 groups answered incorrectly. So, were any students from our class among the groups that answered correctly? To be precise, were any of our class's VIP guessed correctly?

Minami Setsuya: I am VIP of the Horse Group.

Yamauchi: Are you VIP? You're so lucky.

Minami Setsuya: I have received the 250,000 points sent by the school, so although my group's exam is over, it's not because someone answered correctly and caused our class to lose points.

Minami Setsuya (showing off a message indicating a payment of 250,000 points): This is the school points statement I received.

Yukimura Teruhiko (frowning): That's strange. Since your status VIP wasn't exposed, and our Rabbit Group's VIP was Karuizawa, but they were eliminated in result one, while the Dragon Group's VIP was Kushida, but Dragon Group were eliminated in result one as well.

Yukimura Teruhiko: Looking at it this way, none of the three VIP were guessed. So how did they manage to get points deducted?

Hirata Yousuke (nervously): Maybe there was a mistake somewhere, but since the exam is over... let's not dwell on it.

Shinohara Satsuki: Hirata, although 50 points isn't much, if the school made a mistake, we have to win it back for our class.

Yamauchi (Why is Hirata like this!): Exactly, if the rest of you were willing to split the points equally, I wouldn't care about the 50 points. But you're not sharing the money, and then we don't even have our monthly allowance. I can't accept that. @Ike, Kanji, what do you think?

Kanji Ike: I have diarrhea. I ate too much this morning, and my stomach hurts.

Shinohara Satsuki: Ike, don't say things like that at a time like this. It's disgusting.

Kanji Ike: It wasn't on purpose, I just ate too much...

Yukimura Teruhiko: @ Chabashira-sensei, Chabashira-sensei, are there really only 3 students in our class VIP? Could you be mistaken? Or perhaps someone took their phone during the exam?

Chabashira Sae (she got tagged again. But this time it wasn't Nakano Yuu who contacted her.)

Chabashira Sae (quickly browsing the class chat history): Since the exams are over, I can give you some information. The arrangement of the VIP is systematic, and there are only 3 students in each class.

Chabashira Sae: And you all entrusted me with 39 cell phones, and no one asked me for theirs. However, when I was entrusting the phones, Nakano Yuu took his own. So, when you all took the phones, I was still entrusting 38 phones.

Kushida Kikyou: So, the mole is Nakano-kun?

Nakano Yuu (peeping on the screen, Kushida, is this how you shift the blame? You just texted me to come to his room as soon as you got back to school, and now you're in a bad mood): I'm from the Rabbit Group.

Karuizawa Kei (Why did Kushida attack Nakano-kun? But let's support him first): Yes, Kushida, didn't you understand the exam rules? You can't answer questions using other groups' phones.

Kushida Kikyou: Sorry, I didn't think that through. @ Horikita- kun, what do you think?

Horikita Suzune: Chabashira-sensei only kept 39 phones, and even if Nakano-kun took one, there would still be 38 left. That means there's still one student who has a chance to answer.

Yukimura Teruhiko: So we can rule out the questions where our class's "VIP" was guessed correctly. That leaves only those who failed to answer in the first round. And who are the people who can still answer now?

Ken Sudō: Damn, so it was you, right?! Koenji!

Sotomura Hideo: Is it Koenji?

Yukimura Teruhiko: It should be Koenji, because Koenji didn't come to the cafe as required, and Chabashira-sensei didn't ask him for his phone afterward, so...

Yukimura Teruhiko (he deduced it!): Only Koenji is a suspect!

Sudo: @ Kouenji Rokusuke, why did you answer first, and even got it wrong? Do you know that you cost the class 50 points!

Yamauchi: @Kogenji Koenji, pay me back!

Hirata Yousuke: Everyone, calm down. Koenji probably didn't do it on purpose.

Kouenji Rokusuke: You guys are really noisy. I did answer the questions for the Monkey Group test first. But I don't regret it.

Everyone:...????

Sudo: Koenji, what did you say? You don't regret it? So you did it on purpose?

Koenji Rokusuke: That's all for now. I'm going back to school this afternoon, so I'm going to enjoy the last days of my vacation.

Sudo: Koenji!
