Arisu Sakayanagi: Weak, Pitiful, and Helpless-You Believe That? Parts 1 and 2! (Continued)

This first-year student is different from previous students, so their influence and fighting power will be much stronger than in previous years, and may even determine the outcome of the exam.

"You went to the blackboard over there to check the grades for the third graders. How are your brother's grades going?"

"Nakano Yuu said."

"Yesterday."

Horikita was able to answer this question.

"I went to the blackboard, and all their grades have been updated."

"And this is the latest value."

As she said this, Horikita Suzune handed her a small notebook.

The notebook does indeed contain the grades from the third grade.

Class 3-A, 1550.

Class 3-B, 1089.

260 points in Class 3-C.

Class 3-D: 100 points.

Compared to the numbers Nakano Yuu saw last time, there was basically no significant fluctuation. Class D were essentially beyond saving, which could be explained by the Matoba that during the holidays, more third-year students from Class D were seen studying at the library.

These students are probably ready to work hard to get into university.

Nakano Yuu seemed to have only drawn attention to how bad Class 1-D, and then did nothing more, obediently returning to his original class. However, his actions did attract the attention of some other first-year students.

Although I don't understand what Nakano Yuu means.

But now that he's taken the initiative, will the others follow suit?

For example.

"Can I ask for advice too?"

The second candidate who took the initiative was Ichinose Honami current class representative of Class 1-A.

Today, Ichinose was wearing the same school uniform as everyone else, but her natural beauty was hard to hide, and she attracted a lot of attention as soon as she entered the gymnasium.

Now, the students in the front row are looking over.

Because the groups were divided into Red Group based on all Class C, and White Group based on all Class D, Ichinose were now standing in the opposite camp from Nakano Yuu and the others.

Since it was a bit far, Fujimaki- senpai walked over directly.

"You say."

"Senior Fujimaki said."

"I'd like to ask what you think of Class 1-A, or more precisely, the current Class 1-A, the Class 1-A that was promoted from Class B."

"Ichinose Honami said."

Although Ichinose is like an archangel, treating everyone with warmth and kindness, this statement still has a bit of a sharp edge.

"Yes, they are an excellent class."

Fujimaki- senpai said, "Even though we're in different grades, I know your class successfully moved up a grade last semester."

"This has broken the school record."

"Senior Fujimaki said."

"This is the result of everyone's hard work in the class."

Ichinose was very modest. But then she pressed on, "However, I heard from the upperclassmen that after President Horikita successfully promoted from Class 2-B to Class A in the second year, she invited Nagumo, the former class representative of Class B in the second year, to join the Student Council."

"Although there's an element of chance in our first-year students' grades, I still hope to join the Student Council."

"Ichinose said."

"Um, about that."

Fujimaki- senpai probably didn't expect the new class representative of Class 1-A to be so sharp.

So he looked at Horikita Manabu with a pleading gaze.

In the Class 3-A group, Horikita Manabu stepped forward, casually adjusting his glasses.

"I, as the Student Council President of this school, congratulate you on your successful promotion to the Class 1-B, in the first year."

"You have successfully broken the school record."

"Taking fairness as an example, then I should also promote Ichinose is leading the class, to the position of vice President of the Student Council President."

"My original plan was to invite you to join the Student Council after this Sports Festival ends."

"However, since you've brought it up yourself, I can make a promise. After this Student Council concludes, I will offer you the position of vice President of the Student Council."

In other words, has Horikita Manabu been offered the position of vice President of the Student Council?

It's worth noting that Horikita Manabu is known as the most outstanding Student Council President in history, and his Student Council is the most difficult to get into. However, last semester, two first-year students joined, and now another first-year student has joined, and even... directly assumed the position of vice President.

In a Student Council, apart from the President being unique, all other positions can be multiple, so there can be two or even three vice President.

There was no violation.

But.

Although the two current vice President were not stripped of their positions, but rather a new, identical position was created, it still creates a sense of pressure.

Many students looked towards the front of the line in the Class 2-A area – Miyabi Nagumo.

Nagumo, however, remained elegant and polite.

However, it is undeniable that he knew that Class 1-B had successfully moved up to Class A. After all, during the student Student Council the month before last, the super cute junior from Class A, Sakayanagi Arisu, was a regular member of the Student Council, and he also learned that the rankings of the first year had changed when he received the exam results.

Based on Nagumo's understanding of President Horikita, he would definitely give the class that successfully advanced to the next class a chance. Therefore, Horikita Manabu would definitely invite the class representative from the original Class 1-B to join the Student Council and grant him the position of vice President.

And now, it has indeed arrived.

But what does it matter?

Nagumo then realized that Ichinose, the class representative of the former Class 1-B, was incredibly beautiful, with long, golden-pink hair and exquisitely delicate features. While Sakayanagi was undeniably cute, Ichinose was Ichinose stunningly pretty.

And.

Although Ichinose- senpai joined the Student Council and it seems like she's been given a role, she's still just a first-year student, and besides, she's an incredibly beautiful freshman.

It will definitely add a lot of different atmosphere to the Student Council.

Working with a junior like that would probably make even the most mundane tasks more interesting.

Nagumo thought to himself.

However, while the lower-grade students were initially ignored, the upper-grade students are now starting to pay attention to the first-year students.

After all.

It's already impressive that someone like Nagumo, who took almost a whole grade to advance to the next class, could achieve that. But you first-year students, are you really that amazing? You actually achieved your goal in the very first semester of your first year!

While the original Class 1-B seemed very strong, and their successful promotion can be attributed to their achievements, for the students of the original Class 1-A, it was like a public execution.

In the current Class 1-B, the only student who was sitting spoke softly.

The girl sat alone in the chair, her gaze lowered, her hands gripping a thin black cane.

Anyone could see that the girl had a leg injury.

Her figure was so slender that it was almost understandable why she missed the trip to the Uninhabited Island, and it seemed that she was sitting on a chair provided by the school because of a leg injury. Even though other people's eyes were focused on her appearance and the figure of her holding a cane, she herself did not seem to care at all.

Weak, pitiful, and helpless.

Oh.

This is Sakayanagi Arisu, the leader of the Sakayanagi Faction in Class B. She is sitting alone, with other chairs around her, but no one is sitting down.

This is probably a sign of respect for her status.

As students of Class B, they knew very well that although this seemingly weak princess appeared timid, she possessed an aggression far stronger than that of a Tyrannosaurus Rex. She was the complete opposite of the extremely tall yet composed Katsuragi- kun.

"What happened?"

"Sakayanagi said."

Because they were sitting quietly and at a distance, and neither Ichinose nor Horikita Manabu were holding microphones, Sakayanagi could only sense some commotion ahead.

"It seems that Ichinose from Class A took the initiative to ask the Student Council President for Student Council position."

"It was a student who had just returned from gathering intelligence over there," said Kamuro Masumi.

"Did the President give it to you?"

Sakayanagi said slowly.

"It's given."

Kamuro said with a serious expression, "And it's the position of vice President, which is a challenge for our class."

This is a challenge not only for Class B, but also for the students of the Sakayanagi Faction.

Katsuragi, from the Katsuragi Faction, is at least the Student Council secretary, but no one from the Sakayanagi Faction has joined the Student Council yet.

Ichinose was able to get this position by stepping on his classmates.

The students in Class B here even noticed the sympathetic looks from their seniors in Class 2-B, who had also fallen from Class A.

Because both sides felt the same way, sharing the same fate.

"But there was some commotion before that, wasn't there?"

However, Sakayanagi continued to ask questions. She felt she vaguely heard a familiar voice.

"Initially, it was Nakano Yuu from Class D who took the initiative to ask Fujimaki- senpai for his opinion on Class 1-D. He then received a very low evaluation."

Kamuro said.

"Oh."

Classmate Sakayanagi seemed to lower her voice suddenly.

If you listen carefully, you can vaguely hear things like, "[This is an open conspiracy] [He wants to make money again, is his money still not enough]."

"Sakayanagi?"

Kamuro didn't hear clearly.

"Nothing."

Sakayanagi said, "I'm sorry that I can't be of any use in this exam because of my health."

No, you're exaggerating.

One of the Sakayanagi Faction students said, "Overall, you have provided our class with enough help."

"If it weren't for your remote guidance VIP Exam, our class would be in a much worse situation, and might even have fallen further into the Class C category!"

"Katsuragi's last exam was completely useless!"

Because the surrounding students were all from the Sakayanagi Faction, they didn't hesitate to slander Katsuragi, saying, "Now the class has to spend 400,000 points every month on Nakano Yuu."

"Katsuragi, they're talking badly about you."

Meanwhile, the students of the Katsuragi Faction Sakayanagi Faction, overheard the conversation between the Sakayanagi Faction.

However, although the Katsuragi Faction is still the Katsuragi Faction, the number of people in the two factions has changed.

Before the Island Exam, Katsuragi's position in the class was relatively secure because he had secured the position of Student Council secretary. However, due to the financial losses caused by the Island Exam and the class's decline in ranking, only 12 students remained on Katsuragi Faction's side.

It can be said that the reduction was significant.

However, Katsuragi's mind was filled with the words that Sakayanagi had said when the homeroom teacher announced the Sports Festival for the upcoming exam.

"This exam directly links first-year students with upper-grade students; perhaps it's an opportunity."

"If we seize this opportunity, we might be able to get back into Class A."

"However, due to my health condition, I have to withdraw from the entire project."

"Sakayanagi said."

Therefore, the command of this exam has to be relinquished.

In other words, Sakayanagi handed over the command of this exam to him.
