Kushida: "You Tricked Me Again!"
However, having probably discovered Class C's dangerous actions, the students from Class B, who are allies of Class D and belong to the White Team, also came.
However, there were only a dozen or so students.
It's 12 members of the Katsuragi Faction, including Katsuragi himself, and then there's Kamuro from Sakayanagi's side.
A total of 13 students came.
"It seems that Ichinose and the others will have a tough time with this exam."
Katsuragi said, his gaze fixed on Nakano-kun Katsuragi. "But I don't think Ryuuen will just give up like this. So I think Ryuuen won't speak without reason; he must have come up with some kind of battle plan."
So this is what they mean by "once bitten by a snake, twice shy."
However, Katsuragi's thinking was not wrong.
He was very cautious.
"So, how do you plan to arrange this exam?"
Although it was in the form of an inquiry, you could sense that he was probably worried that Nakano Yuu and the others would also give up like Ryuuen.
Then it's not that Ryuuen's self-abandonment is just a smokescreen, but rather that there's a deeper meaning. And if we put it in the context of Class D' s slacking off... then it's truly slacking off.
It's not a big deal if one person is corrupt, but if an entire class is corrupt, it would be a devastating blow to the members of the White Group of the Alliance.
The current evaluation scores for the four classes are as follows.
1376 points in Class 1-A (Ichinose Class) of the first year.
Class 1-B (Sakayanagi Class): 1166 points.
Class 1-C (Ryuuen Class): 811 points.
Class 1-D (a group without a leader) - 0 points.
Class B is still 210 points behind Class A, which doesn't seem like much, but if they fall further behind in this exam, it will be a huge blow to their morale.
"This exam will be administered by Kushida from our class."
Nakano Yuu said.
"She used the strategy of Tian Ji's horse racing, dividing the students in the class into seed players, ordinary players, and cannon fodder players to prepare for the exam."
"Oh."
Katsuragi nodded upon hearing this.
This strategy of using Tian Ji's horse racing method can indeed help Class D gain some points.
Judging from this, Class D seems to have done quite well in this exam. They didn't choose to give up.
Then Class B can also provide some support by avoiding their own team's top players and players like Sudo and Hirata from Class D, so that both teams' players can try to get high scores in different rounds of competition.
"Then, may I ask, Kushida?"
However, at that moment, a voice came from behind. It turned out to be a petite girl with long, straight silver hair and a black beret walking over.
Her fair and delicate face was adorned with a faint smile, revealing two charming dimples.
"Classmate Sakayanagi?"
Kushida looked surprised. Clearly, she knew Classmate Sakayanagi from school as well.
"Yes, you've described the Tian Ji horse racing model, but how do you arrange the recommended projects?"
"Sakayanagi said."
"Well, actually we--"
Kushida was considering whether to answer.
On the one hand, it is indeed somewhat shameful to use the recommended projects to subsidize the cannon fodder group. On the other hand, even if the two classes are allies in this exam, telling each other everything would be detrimental to one's own class.
At the very least, in the grade rankings, they would probably be ranked last.
Actually, she felt that Nakano Yuu was a bit bad, because at first she only received Nakano Yuu's message that "proposing strategies can attract popularity," and then she shared the Tian Ji horse racing strategy in class.
But how did she suddenly become the person in charge of Class D in this Sports Festival?
So, is Nakano Yuu deliberately pushing her out to do the work for free?
Despite having a thousand thoughts in her mind, Kushida maintained her gentle and innocent demeanor.
Unlike the other students, she also knew that this seemingly petite and cute girl was actually one of the representatives of Class B, and that Classmate Sakayanagi was also Nakano Yuu's ex-girlfriend.
Even Nakano Yuu needs to consider whether he will be attacked by Sakayanagi.
In other words, Sakayanagi is actually the boss.
Furthermore, Kushida remarkable observational skills, also noticed that although Sakayanagi had deliberately come over, her gaze hadn't lingered on Nakano Yuu for even a second.
This is clearly not normal.
"It seems you have some concerns, but this time, we must cooperate well."
Sakayanagi smiled faintly and said sweetly, "After all, we're both members of the White Group now."
"Even allies have their reservations, and you want to know everything about our class, Sakayanagi."
In contrast to Kushida's lukewarm attitude, Horikita glanced at Nakano Yuu and, noticing his lack of reaction, immediately spoke up.
Horikita is aloof, and her voice isn't gentle either. Although she's quite beautiful, she only talks to Nakano Yuu.
In other words, it belongs exclusively to Nakano Yuu.
So, for the boys in Class D, she's completely unattainable. But now, standing before them is a frail, pitiful girl. The choice is clear.
"Hey, Horikita, what are you doing!"
"That girl came to us to discuss cooperation, and your attitude is just awful!"
Sure enough, some of the boys in Class D started complaining.
Moreover, the person they were complaining about was someone their class relied on – Horikita, who had confiscated everyone's phones and demonstrated considerable strength and aggression during the VIP Exam.
But there's nothing we can do about it.
Clearly, they were fooled by Sakayanagi's cute appearance.
After all, Sakayanagi's delicate and frail appearance easily arouses a boy's protective instincts. Not to mention that Sakayanagi is using a cane, looking like she has difficulty walking and has trouble getting around.
Add to Gaga Sakayanagi Yanagi's seemingly friendly but actually fake smile, and all of this makes these simps feel like they have a chance.
Are you all idiots?
Sudo retorted angrily, "This girl is one of the leaders of Class B! During the previous VIP Exam, she mastered the rules of VIP and controlled everything. Do you really think she's like Kushida?"
"What?! Sudo, you're just jealous, aren't you?"
"Huh? I despise you bunch of delusional idiots?"
Sudo, enraged, laughed instead.
Nakano Yuu remained silent; these boys were incredibly stupid.
Whether it's true or not, isn't it deliberately exposing one's weakness to fight amongst themselves in front of outsiders?
To be fair, these sycophants' names could be written down one by one, and they could be expelled from school when the time is right.
However, due to this commotion, the free discussion between the two classes was temporarily interrupted.
Nakano Yuu asked Kushida to ask them to talk after school.
After all, some things can't be announced directly.
P. S.: Combining two parts. I'm going out for drinks, so I'll start with 11,500 words today. I'll also write 7,500 words to pay off my debt, leaving me with 151,500 words still owed.

Chapter 104 Kushida: You tricked me again!
Because the event is temporarily suspended, Class D plans to arrange a meeting with a representative from Class B after school.
Now, everyone has returned to the classroom.
"Then it's decided to use the Tian Ji horse racing strategy. Tomorrow after school, the whole class will have a physical test. Although there are many events, we'll only test the 100-meter race first."
Kushida returned to the classroom and began to speak to her classmates.
"At that time, seeded players will be selected, and regular students and cannon fodder groups will be assigned accordingly."
"Then, in order to prepare for the exam, we will do some targeted training."
"Yes, yes Kushida."
Because it was suggested by the adorable little angel, none of the classmates objected. Those who had objected earlier were appeased and granted the right to participate in the recommended project.
However, some students still had their minds on the gymnasium.
"Speaking of which, is Kushida cuter or Classmate Sakayanagi- san from Class B cuter?"
"I think Classmate Sakayanagi is probably cuter. She makes you want to protect her."
"Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm actually very kind-hearted."
"..."
Kushida.
Suddenly, I was used for comparison, and I even lost the comparison.
But Kushida pretended not to hear, or rather, even if she did hear, she didn't care, because the ordinary boys in the class couldn't sway her heart. Or rather, it would be unacceptable for her if these idiots had feelings for her and wanted to confess to her.
Doesn't this person know how to look in the mirror? At best, these students are only comparable to someone like Shinohara Satsuki.
Um.
Shinohara, besides being a student in the Karuizawa Gal Team, is probably also the weakest student in the Gal Team, which is why she objected when the story of Tian Ji's horse racing was mentioned earlier.
As a result, Shinohara's reputation has already declined in Shinohara's Kushida, both in terms of looks and ability.
Certainly.
There will also be people who are interested in these topics.
For example, right now.
"What are you doing."
After Horikita returned to class, she noticed that Nakano Yuu had taken out a small notebook and started writing down the names of the boys in the class.
While she was in a daze, she had already written five or six.
Boys like Kanji Ike, Yamauchi, Hondo Ryotaro were all considered to have very low standing in the class.
"It's just a marker."
Nakano-kun calmly stated.
"..."
Horikita.
"You're not holding a grudge because those boys were flirting with Sakayanagi in the gym, are you?"
Horikita- san knew that Sakayanagi Arisu was this guy's ex-girlfriend.
Although they've broken up, Nakano Yuu doesn't seem to have completely severed ties with his ex-girlfriend. For example, on the ship, he said things she couldn't understand, such as, "[That guy Sakayanagi is trying to sway me, but I also have expectations for it, so the battle is either a normal class competition or an invitation to bed?]"
It can be said that...
The words were strange; he recognized each word individually, but when they were put together, they were completely incomprehensible to Horikita.
The ultimate conclusion is that Nakano Yuu might still be lusting after his ex-girlfriend.
This behavior, resembling a child holding a grudge and recording a rival's comments, is quite conspicuous.
"I didn't act rashly or impulsively."
Nakano-kun said maturely, "It's just about selecting some backup students based on their actions. In the future, when there's Matoba where they have to drop out, they can be used as expendable resources to fill the gap left by dropping out."
"And I am a lenient person, so these records will become the criteria for their expulsion."
I see. They started gathering material for the class... no, to prepare for Special Exam later.
Is it possible for someone to suddenly request to drop out of school?
