Nagumo: Horikita-senpai, Fight for Your Pride! / Chapter 232: I Want to Worry About You ...

Horikita Manabu, who had overheard these words, broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, the third-year group assignments were already finished, otherwise the other three classes might have joined forces to deal with him like this.

At the same time, he had some doubts, wondering if recruiting this guy into the Student Council was the right or wrong decision...

Threatening to expel twenty students at the drop of a hat... I know that's not your intention, but that's still too ruthless.

So, what should we do about this?

Everyone is facing this problem now. First, the first-year students, classes B, C, and D are waiting for Class A to back down. As for Class A, they are waiting for the Student Council President's attitude.

Nagumo was also thinking of a solution; he didn't want the school to become such a ridiculous laughingstock so soon after he took office.

Yes, it's a joke. Half the students in a class dropping out after a single exam—what else could it be but a joke?

Although he really didn't want Shuichi Kanda to get away with it,... there didn't seem to be any good solutions.

Six groups have already been formed here, sitting firmly on the sidelines, not afraid at all that Class A will not comply.

"What's wrong?"

Because the standoff had lasted for too long, the teacher in charge of maintaining order at the scene came over to inquire about the situation.

"Oh, is that so..."

The teachers, having grasped the current situation, were also quite troubled; they clearly hadn't anticipated things would develop this way. After glancing at Horikita Manabu Miyabi Nagumo, the teacher representatives made a decision on behalf of the school.

"Since we've already stated that the school won't interfere, let's resolve this matter internally among the students. Since it's a matter between the students, let's leave it to the Student Council."

Perfect way to shift the blame. The former and current Student Council President both here, so why should I worry about it?

He genuinely didn't know that the person who instigated this incident was the Vice President of the Student Council. Handing this matter over to the Student Council was tantamount to sentencing Class A to death.

"Horikita Manabu, what do you think should be done about this?"

Nagumo didn't make a decision immediately, but instead passed the question on to Horikita Manabu. However, Horikita Manabu completely ignored it, simply adjusting his glasses. "I'm no longer a member of the Student Council. You're the Student Council President now, and this kind of thing should be decided by your team."

Horikita Manabu clearly didn't want to get involved, so Nagumo looked at Shuichi Kanda: "Then, Kanda, what do you think should be done?"

This is essentially asking Shuichi Kanda wants to offer.

"Just follow the rules, that's fine. Since the students in Class A can't form groups, then they should all be expelled. There's nothing more to say."

Asking for my opinion?

That's my opinion. Anyway, Shuichi Kanda loves a good show, so since we've started haggling, I'll just ask for the absolute highest price.

Shuichi Kanda's words immediately angered most of the students in Class A, who glared at Shuichi Kanda fiercely, wishing they could come up and have a real fight with him.

Nagumo also knew that Shuichi Kanda was deliberately warning the students in Class A that if they couldn't come up with a reasonable price, then they would all be expelled.

"That won't do. If twenty students from Class A drop out, this whole thing will become a huge joke in the school's history."

Nagumo directly opposed Shuichi Kanda's idea. He was hoping to use Sakayanagi Arisu to deal with Ichinose, so how could he let Class A be wiped out like this?

"Give me some face and let them go, okay?"

Since Nagumo said so today, Shuichi Kanda also felt it was about right, so he gave the signal.

"Since President Nagumo has said so, I'll compromise. If the members of Class A agree to our conditions, I'll let them go," Shuichi Kanda said slowly.

With Shuichi Kanda's speech, the bargaining officially began.

Among the students in Class A, Katsuragi immediately understood Shuichi Kanda's attitude. "Want to join our group? Sure, offer some benefits. If the benefits are enough, we'll let you join."

What do you want?

The Matoba, already weakened by the blow, was no longer of any use. For the future of Class A, Katsuragi stepped forward despite the pressure.

"Oh, Katsuragi."

Seeing familiar faces step forward, Shuichi Kanda smiled.

"Since we're old acquaintances, I'll make an exception for you. First of all, Class A has already failed this exam, do you agree with that?"

Katsuragi nodded in agreement. The problem facing Class A now was no longer whether they would fail the exam, but how they could survive the crisis of being expelled.

The other students in Class A were dissatisfied, but they could only grit their teeth and accept it; they didn't want to be expelled because of this.

Seeing Class A nod, Shuichi Kanda, Kanzaki Ryuji, and Kaneda Satoru all wore satisfied smiles.

"In that case, we'll decide on the group assignments for Class A students. You shouldn't have any objections, right?"

Katsuragi nodded again in agreement.

"In that case, Katsuragi, you should know the abilities of the students in Class A, right? Select the ten students with the lowest overall abilities."

Katsuragi and Sakayanagi have been vying for Class A for so long, they must know a lot about the students in Class A. It's a good thing that he stepped forward, as it saved Shuichi Kanda a lot of trouble.

As for why candidates should be selected based on comprehensive abilities, it's because Shuichi Kanda felt that this exam should not only consider academic ability, but also athletic ability.

Otherwise, most of these seven days of activities would be meaningless. If the academic ability test is going to be completed, then all the studying would be done directly. What's the point of meditating and cleaning?

Upon hearing Shuichi Kanda's words, Katsuragi already had a guess about his thoughts, but what good did it do?

Now we are at their mercy, like fish on a chopping board, with absolutely no chance of turning the tables.

After sighing, Katsuragi turned around and selected ten students from Class A, but Shinji Matoba was not among them.

Seeing this, Shuichi Kanda pointed to Yahiko Totsuka.

"You, your Yahiko Totsuka, right? Get out, and that guy named Matoba, go in."

The two people who were called frowned, but did not disobey Shuichi Kanda's orders.

"Ike, Yamauchi, and Sotomura, the three of you will join this group."

"Huh? Why should I join this group? Didn't you just say that this group is made up of people with lower abilities than Class A?"

"Exactly, you don't mean to make one of us drop out of school, do you?"

No sooner had Shuichi Kanda finished speaking than Ike and Yamauchi cried out.

As for the Sotomura, their lips moved but they didn't speak.

"Shut up, you piece of trash! If you wanted to be expelled, you would have been expelled already. Don't forget what you did during the summer vacation!"

Shuichi Kanda's words left Ike and Yamauchi speechless; how could they possibly admit to secretly filming the swimming pool?

"And as long as you take the exam seriously, even if someone wanted to drag you down with them, they couldn't."

Then, Shuichi Kanda looked at Kanzaki and Kaneda: "You two, why don't you also choose a student who lacks confidence in passing the exam to join us?"

"This..."

Kanzaki hesitated for a moment, then shook his head. "No need."

Clearly, Kanzaki had no intention of putting his classmate in danger.

However, Kaneda, standing to the side, noticed something amiss. This group was clearly a cannon fodder squad, and it would be difficult for them to even pass.

However, Kaneda believed that Shuichi Kanda would not allow his students to risk expulsion, so he made a decision immediately.

Then, two boys from Class C who had weaker overall abilities were added to the group, thus completing the group of fifteen.

"You're in charge of this group Matoba."

"Varied..."

His Matoba turned green instantly. He could tell at a glance what level this group was at—a bunch of freaks, barely passing. Were they trying to make him explode on the spot?

Of course, Shuichi Kanda's purpose in being selected for the Matoba was not to make him drop out of school.

Since he was able to replace Katsuragi as the leader of the boys in Class A, it means that this guy has some skills. With him leading the way, even a group of weaklings should be able to barely pass.

Matoba at the nine people selected from his class, and then at the five people selected from classes C and D, he quickly began to make his own calculations.

As long as those guys from Class C and Class D don't deliberately drag the team down, this group might still be able to pass. This is Matoba's current thought, and it's also the thought that Shuichi Kanda wanted him to have.

You have no right to refuse.

"I promise..."

Matoba face looked ashen, as if he'd eaten shit, but he had no choice but to agree.

As for why Shuichi Kanda only included three people in the cannon fodder squad, it's simply because the last-place team would have Class Points deducted.

If too many points are added, Class Points Class A will lose fewer points; if too few points are added, this group might not get last place. So, it's important to find the right balance.

Anyway, now that five more weaklings have been added to Class A, this group has undoubtedly become the weakest group in terms of average ability among the first-year groups.

As for why they don't just select their elite members, form a team, and have them sign a contract to voluntarily become the last one...

Of course, the remaining members of Class A still have value, and we must give Matoba hope—a hope that even with that bunch of trash, they can still get into the top three.

The subsequent team formation became easier. Class A currently has ten people left, while the other three classes have fifty-five people remaining, including twenty from Class B, seventeen from Class C, and eighteen from Class D.

First, each of the three classes (B, C, and D) will form a team of nine people. Then, two people will be selected from each of the other three classes to form a scoring team.

The candidates for Class A are mostly individuals with good overall abilities. As the initiator of the plan Shuichi Kanda prioritized selecting two people from Class A: Katajo Kohei and Masayoshi Hashimoto.

Next up are Class B and Class C. Of course, these two classes won't let Shuichi Kanda choose their best talents; instead, they'll just shove two weaklings into their class.

Class B sent in two random people, while Class D sent in even more outrageous ones: Ryuen Kakeru and Daichi Ishizaki.

Looking at these two, Shuichi Kanda's eyebrows twitched. They were really causing me trouble.

However, Shuichi Kanda without hesitation, not caring at all.

Anyway, I can throw garbage into their seed team, right? Compared to being a loser, who can be more loser than the students from Class D?

After this round, Class A has 4 people left, Class B has 7 people left, Class C has 4 people left, and Class D has 5 people left, which is enough to form two teams of ten people each.

To be fair, the remaining people are actually quite capable, much better than the likes of Ike and Yamauchi.

After all, the weaker students were either put into the cannon fodder team or thrown into the elite teams of other classes to drag them down, leaving only those whose strength was in the middle of the class.

After randomly dividing them into two teams, the first-year group work was completed.

Shuichi Kanda's group has a total of fifteen members.

Class A: Masayoshi Hashimoto, Katsuragi Kohei.

Class B: Kawada Takashi, Kawahara Shusaku.

Class C: Shuichi Kanda, Hirata Yosuke, Akito Miyake, Rokusuke Koenji Kiyotaka Ayanokoji, Sudo Key, Makita Susumu, Yamamura Hideki, Yamamoto Yuya.

Class D: Ryuen Kakeru, Daichi Ishizaki.

Shuichi Kanda naturally attended as the group leader, while Hirata Yosuke did not take on any other group leadership roles.

After all, when Shuichi Kanda was forming the groups, he had already separated the students who might cause problems. At least the seven worst students had been relegated to other groups by Shuichi Kanda.

Seeing these people, Shuichi Kanda thought to himself, "Damn it, they're all familiar faces. The only strangers are those two from Class B."

In terms of overall strength, this group can be described as quite strong. Shuichi Kanda not only considered academic ability but also athletic ability.

However, there are many conflicts among the members here.

Ishizaki and Ryuen were beaten by Ayanokoji, Sudo was framed by Ishizaki, Koenji is an eccentric and unconventional person, and the two from Class A were even coerced into joining the group.

Although he has good abilities, if conflicts arise, winning first place will be a pipe dream.

Chapter 234 A gentleman conceals his sword within himself, revealing his bluntness to others!

Chapter 235 Ishikura: I just wanted to beat him once, what did I do wrong!

Ishikura naturally knew about this first-year student who suddenly appeared, the Student Council vice president, Shuichi Kanda.

Although third-year students are no longer in the Student Council, that doesn't prevent them from knowing information within the Student Council.

Even though they are about to graduate, if any disputes arise, they will still be subject to review by the Student Council. Therefore, they will have some knowledge of the Student Council's information.

The person they knew the least about was Vice President Shuichi Kanda.

Aside from knowing that he was personally recruited to the Student Council by Horikita Manabu, he knew nothing about Shuichi Kanda.
