Sakayanagi's Challenge Event: Chess

"Thinking more can't hurt, so you should organize the information about the students in your class and submit it to Kamuro these next few days. That way, you might lose fewer points."

That's right, I'm blatantly asking you for information about Class A, let's see if you'll give it to me or not.

Although this information could be obtained through inquiries, it was much more efficient for Class A to provide it themselves.

Furthermore, in order to prevent the Class Points from falling too far apart, the information that Sakayanagi and the others provided to Kamuro must have been very detailed, and it must have been true.

After all, Kamuro had spent a year in Class A and knew some information about Class A, so she could tell whether it was true or not.

Sakayanagi Arisu stared intently at Shuichi Kanda, then sighed after a long pause.

"Kanda- kun, you really don't like to suffer any losses."

"It's a loss, whoever wants to eat it can eat it, I certainly don't." Shuichi Kanda had finished speaking, then picked up his schoolbag from the ground and stood up. "I think you should be able to make your own decision about this. Please give me an answer before school ends tomorrow."

Then, he took Kamuro's hand as he stood up and left the cafe.

"This Shuichi Kanda is indeed troublesome. No wonder Classmate Sakayanagi fell into his hands."

After Shuichi Kanda and Kamuro Masumi left, Miki Yamamura finally gave her opinion.

"I always felt that his way of handling things wasn't like that of a high school student. There were many things that I was slow to realize, but he could see the crux of the matter at a glance."

Sakayanagi stood up, leaning on his cane, and sighed.

"However, his overconfident attitude might cause him a great loss." Miki Yamamura also stood up and looked at the backs of Shuichi Kanda and Kamuro Masumi and said.

"Perhaps, but we have no choice but to do as they say. We can't break the contract first, but they don't seem to care at all."

Sakayanagi chuckled softly and walked out of the coffee shop.

She didn't care about the future of Class A; what she cared about was whether she could compete against Ayanokoji in this exam.

When Shuichi Kanda let Class A decide their own projects, he was essentially giving her an opportunity, practically saying, "Submit the project you want to compete against Ayanokoji."

Although Shuichi Kanda will definitely have Kamuro throw the match, Shuichi Kanda probably won't care if it's just one event.

However, this means that Class A must not be eliminated before their submitted project is drawn.

Therefore, all the information given to Kamuro must be true, and the students of Class A must practice these skills diligently.

At least when facing Class B and Class D, we need to ensure a high win rate.

Although Shuichi Kanda didn't explicitly say it, she understood it all. However, she couldn't say these things in front of Miki Yamamura, otherwise, wouldn't she, Sakayanagi, become a traitor who betrayed Class A?

"Could I ask Miki to help me with the intelligence gathering? I'll have Hashimoto assist you."

After leaving the coffee shop, Sakayanagi ordered around Miki Yamamura, who was standing next to him.

Yamamura glanced at Sakayanagi and nodded. Although he didn't know what the two people were implying, on the surface, Shuichi Kanda's suggestion was definitely beneficial to Class A.

Class A's drop in rank is inevitable this time, so let's try to lose as few points as possible.

After Kamuro, the undercover agent, leaves Class A, they should be able to return under Sakayanagi's guidance.

Miki Yamamura believed this.

Chapter 266 Sakayanagi's Challenge: Chess

After leaving the coffee shop, Shuichi Kanda and Kamuro went back to their dormitory. Although it was already March, the weather was still very cold, and it was more comfortable to go back to the dormitory and hide under the Kotatsu.

Of course, I also need to tutor that idiot Kamuro. Although there are no exams this semester, since she's coming to my side, I should first find out about her study progress.

In Shuichi Kanda's room, the two sat side by side. Shuichi Kanda ate a tangerine while watching Kamuro's pained expression as he struggled with the problems, and then chuckled to himself.

However, although Kamuro doesn't like studying, he has made great progress this year, and for that he has to thank Sakayanagi for it.

Yeah, I feel a little guilty towards her.

"Ugh~ Is there any easy way to study? I don't want to memorize this stuff." Kamuro slumped onto the table by the Kotatsu with a look of utter despair, casually slamming the English book in his hand in front of him.

"There's no easy way. Here, have a candy to replenish your sugar levels."

Seeing Kamuro's expression, Shuichi Kanda took out the Memory Candy he had prepared beforehand, peeled off the coating, and prepared to feed it to Kamuro.

Ah~~

As Shuichi Kanda made his movements, Kamuro opened his mouth to accept the food Shuichi Kanda was feeding him.

"This candy is strawberry flavored."

Really? Shuichi Kanda hadn't paid much attention to that.

"I'm glad you like it. By the way, what do you want to eat tonight?"

Shuichi Kanda got out of the Kotatsu and walked towards the refrigerator to check what ingredients were left.

"I'm fine with anything, whatever. Just prepare, Shuichi. I'll just review my English vocabulary." With that, Kamuro picked up the textbook he had just tossed on the table.

"All right."

Shuichi Kanda nodded. Kamuro's casualness was genuine; she could enjoy a bowl of ramen with relish when taken out for a meal, completely unlike those two-faced women.

Kamuro watched as Shuichi Kanda began to get busy, a smile appearing on his lips, before he himself began to seriously memorize vocabulary words.

After memorizing for only a short while, she noticed that her memory seemed to have improved...

Several hours had passed by the time the two started eating dinner.

Shuichi Kanda the duration of the Memory Candy's effect, so he waited until the effect wore off before calling her to eat.

As for dinner, Shuichi Kanda made fish soup to nourish Kamuro's brain and relieve the soreness in her brain caused by absorbing a large amount of knowledge in a short period of time.

The next day, Shuichi Kanda was about to leave for school on time as usual when he saw Kamuro Masumi waiting for him at the door.

"Good morning, Shuichi."

Shuichi Kanda for a moment when he saw Kamuro, then he understood.

Good morning, Masumi. Has your suspension from school ended?

"Well, because he turned himself in and compensated for the damages, he was only suspended from school for two days."

The two were obviously referring to Kamuro confessing to the school that he had stolen something from a convenience store.

"Don't do that kind of thing again."

Looking at Kamuro, Shuichi Kanda spoke with a slight warning.

"No way! I only did these things to get Shuichi's attention," Kamuro immediately protested, then suddenly covered his mouth.

Shuichi Kanda moment.

Did it get my attention?

"So... you deliberately stole something in front of me?"

Seeing the dangerous expression on Shuichi Kanda's face, Kamuro guiltily turned his head away. How could he have let something slip like that?

Snap!

Kamuro's body stiffened for a moment after being hit in a sensitive area, then returned to normal.

"Kikyo is right, you need to be taught a lesson too."

"You can't beat me anyway." Kamuro didn't care about Shuichi Kanda's actions at all. She was just caught off guard by the sneak attack, and now she was actually looking forward to it.

Kamuro's words angered Shuichi Kanda, as he recalled the humiliating memory of being pinned down by Kamuro when school started.

No, I need to collect some interest, and then he reached out and placed his hand on Kamuro's waist...

"Then I'll teach you a lesson, and you dare to resist?"

"Ouch, it itches so much..."

The two of them walked to the elevator while playfully bickering. When they looked up, they saw Kushida Kikyo looking at them with a resentful gaze.

Is it really okay to flirt like this so early in the morning?

"Is Kikyo jealous?"

Kamuro straightened his slightly disheveled uniform, then stepped forward with a mischievous grin.

"What... what do you want to do?"

Seeing Kamuro's appearance, Kushida became somewhat nervous.

"What are you doing? Doing this?"

Snap!

Crisp and resonant.

At the same time, Kushida's face quickly turned red.

"It feels really good, no wonder Shuichi loves it so much."

Kamuro rubbed his fingers together as he sighed.

Kushida was no pushover either, and retaliated by striking the same spot on Kamuro.

Seeing the two people, Shuichi Kanda really wanted to join them, but there were security cameras in the elevator.

Of course, that's not important. What's important is that the surveillance footage here can be viewed on displays on other floors...

However, Masumi has always been aloof, obedient, and occasionally rebellious in front of me. How come she's suddenly so close to Kikyo?

So that's what happened after I chased after him that day, right?

Shuichi Kanda was very curious.

Although the Time TV could be used to rewind time, Shuichi Kanda still preferred to hear them tell the story themselves.

After parting ways with Shuichi Kanda, Kamuro resumed his usual aloof expression and headed towards Class A.

The moment she appeared at the entrance of Class A, the atmosphere in Class A fell silent for a moment, and then most of them looked at Kamuro Masumi with hostile eyes.

Kamuro was prepared for this, after all, he was a 'traitor'.

However, she didn't care. Anyway, she would only be in this class for a few days before leaving, so being treated with hostility for a few days was nothing.

With her backpack on, Kamuro arrived at her seat and took out her textbook to prepare for the first lesson.

"Here, take this."

When Kamuro took out his textbook, he was struck up a conversation by his classmate Miki Yamamura, who was holding a folded piece of paper.

"What's this?"

"These are the topics that Classmate Sakayanagi came up with for Class A, and she even listed the people who are good at these subjects."

So fast?

Kamuro was slightly surprised, but still accepted it.

"Please tell Sakayanagi that I will give this to Shuichi."

Miki Yamamura nodded, then walked towards Sakayanagi, apparently to report the news.

Kamuro opened the paper and looked at the problems prepared by Sakayanagi: Mental Arithmetic, Chess...

It really is an obscure subject. Mental Arithmetic aside mental arithmetic, Chess is something that people wouldn't bother learning unless they were interested in it.

In any case, even Kamuro himself didn't know the rules. As for the other three items, they were all academic tests: a math test, Chemistry Test, and English Test.

Then, Kamuro saw the event that Sakayanagi was to compete in: Chess.

Chess is a game agreed upon by Sakayanagi and Shuichi Kanda. If this game is drawn, Shuichi Kanda will send Ayanokoji to play, while Sakayanagi himself will play for Class A.

However, Kamuro Masumi thought of a problem.

If Class D challenges Class C, and then Class C responds, and in the next round Class A draws the Chess event...

For some reason, the thought of this Kamuro makes me want to laugh.

Meanwhile, after Shuichi Kanda arrived at the classroom, the atmosphere in Class C was also very lively, with most of the discussion revolving around the exam.

You can even see quite a few people playing games, like Rock Paper Scissors- scissors.

"Rock, paper, scissors!"

"Tch! Chi won again!"

Many people looked at their losing hands with regret on their faces.

"Hmph, I'm the King of Rock Paper Scissors!"

Although Ike received a lot of criticism during the Class Vote, the students began to selectively forget about Ike's past act of secretly filming the girls' changing room because of Hirata's subsequent smoothing things over.
