The Reckless-Looking Hosen Kazuomi

The signature is Ichinose Honami Class B.

"As expected of Honami, not only is she thinking of herself, but she's also paving the way for the bewildered first-year students."

Upon seeing this, Shuichi Kanda smiled with admiration.

Although it's unclear how many people will go, it's certainly not a small number, and some might even form partnerships on the spot.

However, Horikita looked slightly anxious. Did he feel that Ichinose?

"Relax, buddy, it's just fifty Class Points. So what if you give them up? You're worrying too much."

Horikita frowned. "You'll go after school, right?"

"Of course, I love watching the excitement."

While Shuichi Kanda Horikita n't care about those fifty Class Points, Horikita was worried that those fifty points might be all it took to graduate from Class A, so she didn't want to give up right from the start.

However, Horikita simply couldn't handle Ichinose's affability and social skills.

However, Class A is not without someone who can rival Ichinose in this regard.

If we can get Kushida Kikyo's help, we won't lose to Class B in terms of recruiting top-performing first-year students.

"Kanda, if possible, could you get Kushida to help...?"

"STOP!"

Horikita was immediately stopped by Shuichi Kanda before he could finish speaking.

Should Kushida be tasked with helping to win over the first-year students?

Stop joking.

Although Kushida can do it, and she certainly wouldn't refuse if I asked her for help, Horikita, you're family, you only know your own business.

Do you know how much pressure Kushida must have been under after doing all that?

"It's your business if you can persuade her, but I will absolutely not ask her for help."

"But we can only lead the class to victory by making good use of everyone's strengths. Are you going to abandon Kushida's social skills?"

Horikita remained somewhat persistent.

"Yes, you're right. I didn't say she couldn't help you, but it's up to you to do it. After all, I've already given you control over this exam."

Horikita's breath hitched. "So, you're saying you're not planning to help this time?"

"Of course I'll help! My A+ grades mean you can assign me any task you want – isn't that helping?"

Seeing Horikita's expression, Shuichi Kanda was actually quite dissatisfied.

Actually Kushida accumulating pressure is secondary; she can just release it directly. Anyway, she usually accumulates pressure, and given Kushida's personality, she definitely won't miss any opportunity to interact with first-year students.

So whenever Horikita asked for a favor, Kushida would at most make a few requests and then agree.

Shuichi Kanda was unhappy with Horikita's insistence on his help with everything; why should he make him do things he could easily do himself?

Why not practice your social skills?

You call this shaving your head to show your resolve? You get the idea?!

Of course, although Shuichi Kanda said he would hand over the initiative to Horikita, that wasn't actually the case, because the results of this exam were basically already determined. Given that the conditions for first and second year students were the same, it was almost impossible for anyone in Class A to drop out, except for Ayanokoji.

Therefore, this exam was actually a test of self-preservation for Ayanokoji. Shuichi Kanda's sending Horikita to test Ayanokoji was just a cover for Ayanokoji.

By the way, let me reveal Ayanokoji's true skill level to her a little. It would be a shame not to use such a useful tool Ayanokoji.

After seeing that Shuichi Kanda's conversation had come to an end, Kamuro walked over.

"What's wrong? Is something the matter, Masumi?"

"Hmm, will you be attending the fan meeting hosted by Ichinose after school?"

A meet-and-greet—that's quite a vivid metaphor.

"I'm going, do you want to come?"

"Um."

Kamuro nodded.

"Okay, let's go together then."

After making the appointment with Kamuro, the afternoon classes began, and after two classes, it was time to go home.

Because the textbooks have all been replaced with electronic versions, Shuichi Kanda has stopped carrying his schoolbag to and from school lately, so he stands up as soon as school is over to head to the Gymnasium.

However, unlike Shuichi Kanda, Kamuro still prefers to use a notebook to record key points. Although the accompanying tablet can also store information, Kamuro, who is used to taking notes, will still write down notes in every class and then review them afterward.

Moreover, this exam covers first-grade material, which was all written down in notebooks.

Seeing Kamuro packing his things, Shuichi Kanda nodded to himself. Although Sakayanagi had been ordering Kamuro around for a year, he had at least improved Kamuro's academic performance. Putting everything else aside, he had to thank her for that.

"Masumi, are you doing okay with your studies?"

"Are you questioning my evaluation on the OAA?" Kamuro showed a disdainful expression, a rare occurrence for him. "Although I wasn't very good at studying when school started, thanks to Sakayanagi, my academic ability is pretty good now."

Shuichi Kanda had certainly read Kamuro's information, and his abilities were not bad.

2-A Kamuro Masumi (Kami shoot hit shoot u Ma shoot umi)

First Year Results

Academic ability B (70)

Physical ability B+ (79)

Flexible thinking ability C-(43)

Social contribution C+(57)

Overall ability B-(63)

Although her flexible thinking ability is only average, her academic ability has caught up, and it has truly improved by a significant level compared to when she started school.

However, her weakness lies in science, since her humanities have already been enhanced by Shuichi Kanda using Memory Candy, so Shuichi Kanda plans to tutor her during this period.

He also needs to keep an eye on Miyake, Hasebe, and Sakura, since Yukimura has been sent to assist Hirata, and he might not be able to manage things here.

"Since Masumi is so confident, then I'll have to give you a test."

Seeing Kamuro's disgusted expression, Shuichi Kanda surge of warmth.

"Bring it on!"

"Then let me ask you, in history..."

And so, the two of them, one asking and one answering, unknowingly arrived at the Gymnasium.

With the Gymnasium in sight, Shuichi Kanda, seeing Kamuro's increasingly smug expression, grinned mischievously and then asked a rather obscure question about science.

As a result, Kamuro immediately fell silent, and his smug smile froze on his face.

"You still have a long way to go, Masumi."

Shuichi Kanda smiled smugly, then patted her head.

"Snort!"

Kamuro snorted in dissatisfaction. "Can't you just give me a break? That damn Shuichi, it seems the pressure I put on you this weekend wasn't enough!"

Chapter 289 Hosen Kazuomi's Seemingly Reckless Actions

Because their classes were located in different places, and because neither of them deliberately sped up their pace, there were already quite a few people there when Shuichi Kanda and Kamuro arrived at the library.

I glanced at it and saw that although there were less than a hundred people, there were at least eighty, and most of them were first-year students, with only a small number of second-year students. Excluding the students from Class Ichinose, there were probably only a few.

But this is to be expected. Being told to take a written exam as soon as school starts, and that failing it will result in expulsion, is something no one can handle.

Therefore, most of the first-year students came to the Gymnasium. Since they were not yet familiar with the campus, they treated it as an opportunity to get acquainted with the environment.

However, according to the information Shuichi Kanda obtained from the OAA, the people gathered here are mostly those who are not very confident in their academic abilities, but there are also students with B- or higher academic levels.

When Shuichi Kanda and his group arrived, Ichinose were already chatting with the first-year students, and it seemed like they were getting along quite well. Even the students who weren't academically strong received kind treatment from Ichinose.

"Honami is still the same Ichinose," Kamuro remarked, looking at Ichinose.

"Yes, it's normal for first-year students to feel uneasy when they are told they are about to take an exam that could lead to expulsion as soon as they arrive at this school."

However, some people may not intend to take it seriously at all, and in this case, someone needs to soothe their tension or give them a wake-up call.

Shuichi Kanda nodded, quietly watching Ichinose Honami, who was talking to a first-year student not far away. She was truly dazzling.

"Furthermore, in terms of academic ability, the overall level of Class B is very high. Compared to our class, which has 12 students with D-level academic ability, the worst student in Class B is only C-."

However, although the overall academic level of Class Ichinose is relatively high, there are actually not many students with a B grade or above. At most, there are only one or two more students than in Class D, because grades are really harder to improve as you go further in life.

"So Honami should be able to attract quite a few students with good academic abilities, right?" Shuichi Kanda's lips curled up slightly.

"That's her skill, what are you so proud of?"

Seeing Shuichi Kanda's expression, Kamuro became displeased again, to which Shuichi Kanda could only smile helplessly.

Soon after Shuichi Kanda and Kamuro Masumi appeared at the Gymnasium, people began to pay attention to them.

"Is that Kanda- senpai?"

"The OAA results show that Kanda has A+ grades in all three areas except for his athletic ability. He seems to be an incredibly talented person."

"And he's the only student in the second year with an A+ in academic performance."

These whispers naturally reached Shuichi Kanda's ears, but soon a rough voice rang out from the Gymnasium entrance.

"Yes, it's all because of this Kanda- senpai that what should have been a mere deduction of points turned into expulsion."

Upon hearing the voice, Shuichi Kanda frowned and then turned his gaze to the doorway. A tall, burly boy with dyed yellow hair, but an arrogant and nonchalant demeanor, appeared in the doorway. Judging by his size alone, he was practically a gorilla.

Beside him was a girl with long blonde hair, a very pretty face, and an outstanding figure. Although she was not as tall as Kamuro, her bust was just as impressive.

Looking at the two people over there, Shuichi Kanda recalled the information he had seen about them in OAA. The man who looked like a gorilla was named Hosen Kazuomi, and the blonde beauty was named Nanase Tsubasa. They were both freshmen and in Class D.

Besides these two, there were many students following behind them, who could almost certainly be identified as students from Class D. Judging from the way the two were walking in front, either the one named Hosen or the one named Nanase Tsubasa should be the leader of this year's Class D.

Hosen's words immediately changed the expressions of many students in the Gymnasium, and almost simultaneously they all became hostile towards Shuichi Kanda.

"Yeah, so what? You don't expect me to come and beat you up, do you?"

Almost instantly, Shuichi Kanda realized that this was Nagumo's scheme. Logically, it was impossible for a first-year student to know about this, since neither Tsukishiro nor the teachers would reveal such things.

However, since Hosen knew so accurately that it was Shuichi Kanda changed the school rules and also knew what the original rules were, it could only be that Nagumo, who knew the inside story, revealed it to him, which is very much in line with his style.

Whether it was a direct revelation or an indirect one, it didn't matter, because Hosen had recklessly barged into the battlefield Shuichi Kanda and Miyabi Nagumo.

"Oh? You think I wouldn't dare?"

Hosen laughed wildly as he walked towards Shuichi Kanda, but Kamuro immediately stepped in front of Shuichi Kanda.

The commotion on Shuichi Kanda's side had already attracted the attention of most people in the Gymnasium.

Horikita and his group, who had also come to scout ahead, also arrived. Not only was Sudo there, but even Ayanokoji was among them.

"Of course you dare, but you'd better think carefully about the consequences of your actions."

Shuichi Kanda glanced at him and said indifferently, then moved his feet slightly, pulled Kamuro aside, and put on a mocking smile.

"You don't really think that just because Nagumo vouched for you, I can't do anything to you, do you? He told you that violence was allowed, so you're acting so recklessly?"

"With your measly 25 points in physical ability, what makes you think you can be so arrogant in front of me!?" Hosen's face broke into a sinister grin again, and the moment he saw that smile, Shuichi Kanda step and stood directly behind Ayanokoji.

Seeing Shuichi Kanda's actions, Ayanokoji was speechless. What the hell are you doing?

However, it was too late to complain now, as Hosen had gone berserk and was already attacking them.

"Are you going to take a punch from me for him?"

Kamuro, who was standing nearby, wanted to step in to stop them, but was immediately grabbed by the arm and pulled back by Shuichi Kanda.

Holy crap, Masumi, what are you thinking? Even if your physical fitness is rated B, what can your 1.6-meter height do against this 1.9-meter-tall gorilla? The basic physical fitness levels for men and women are right there.

And so, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji was directly used as a shield by Shuichi Kanda and placed at the forefront.

Horikita, who came with Ayanokoji, was also worried, but he managed to hold back when he thought of Ayanokouji's glorious history of beating up Ryuen and others.

Perhaps it's indeed time to take a good look at his abilities. This is a good opportunity; since he could take care of that Albert, dealing with this Hosen shouldn't be too much of a problem.

However, to everyone's surprise, Ayanokoji didn't even flinch at Hosen's punch, nor did he even raise his hand to block it.

Shuichi Kanda was taken aback. Was this guy planning to take a heavy punch head-on?
