Sakayanagi Arisu Crashes the Party-I'm Here to Take on the Student Council

"I received a report that someone stole the exam papers."

Manabu Horikita's gaze swept around the room, and his first words shocked everyone present, causing the students in Class D to panic and fidget as if they were sitting on pins and needles.

They certainly didn't steal anything.

However, there were indeed exam papers in their drawers or schoolbags!

And everyone gets one!

"Damn it..." As the person behind the scenes who obtained the test paper, Ryuen had an extraordinary idea at this moment.

He's quick-witted; he realized it instantly.

They realized just how bad the situation was.

But.

"It seems the report is true."

Manabu Horikita took in the expressions of everyone below the stage, his gaze calm, and slowly extended his hand, saying indifferently, "I don't want to search your bags and drawers, so the student over there, please bring up the test paper on your desk."

"Eh..."

Instantly, everyone in Class D turned their gaze to the direction Manabu Horikita was pointing.

There stood a delicate-looking girl with short hair named Rika.

When the Student Council President looked for the exam papers, she hurriedly and frantically tried to cover the exam papers on the table with her textbooks.

"This, this is review material, not a test paper!"

Rika, who was already gentle and timid, panicked and hurriedly tried to defend herself.

Manabu Horikita, however, merely gave a glance to the boys beside him.

The boys nodded and walked towards Rika to take her test paper. Manabe, sitting behind her, seemed to want to stop them, but then cowered back in her seat.

Smack!

Manabu Horikita took the exam paper from the boy's hand, glanced at it briefly, and instantly confirmed that it was definitely the exam paper, exactly the same.

Manabu Horikita expressionlessly flicked the exam paper and cast a threatening gaze at Rika.

Where did the exam papers come from?

"No, I didn't steal it!"

Rika became even more anxious, almost bursting into tears, and hurriedly explained, "It was Ryuen Ryuen brought it."

"Whoosh~"

All eyes turned to Ryuen.

It was indeed a test paper brought from Ryuen, but...

You can't just say this at a time like this, and Rika, your explanation is very problematic. The Student Council President did receive a report that someone stole the exam papers, but Ryuen's exam papers were bought from the upperclassmen.

Therefore, they are different concepts.

However, with the Student Council President pressure on them, no student can remain unmoved.

Who is Ryuen?

Manabu Horikita, however, paid no attention to the details and asked directly.

"I am."

Ryuen already knew that this time they had been caught off guard and had made an easy mistake, so they readily admitted it.

Manabu Horikita glanced at him and said directly, "Class D stole the exam papers, so 100 points will be deducted from your class evaluation score. Of course, you're now at 0 points, so your class evaluation score won't change."

But."

Manabu Horikita continued, "As the instigator, you will have 500,000 points deducted and receive one demerit. You must repay the deducted 500,000 points within this semester, or you will be expelled. Furthermore, anyone who receives more than three demerits will be expelled immediately."

The Student Council President went to Class D to catch them stealing exam papers.

The news spread quickly.

However, before the students could get their information verified, they heard the school's announcement.

Manabu Horikita's voice came through the loudspeakers in each classroom.

"Due to a major theft of exam papers by first-year students at our school, the exam papers for this test are invalid, and the school will use Test B instead."

"First-year Class D has had 100 points deducted from its class score for allegedly stealing exam papers and cheating. Those directly involved will have 500,000 points deducted from their personal score and will receive a demerit."

One hundred and sixty first-grade students sat in their respective classrooms, looking up at the loudspeaker above the blackboard.

The voice of Student Council President Manabu Horikita, along with the outcome of the incident, came through the loudspeaker.

Then.

"What... what does this mean?!"

For students in Class C, there are only 3 days left until the midterm exam.

Logically speaking, Hachiman promised everyone that he would buy the test papers from the upperclassmen for 100,000 points tomorrow.

But the current situation is... that we won't be taking that particular test anymore?

Ah?

"Hachiman!"

Since it was break time, Hirata left her seat and walked over to Hachiman.

As the glue that holds the class together, the students also received more than half a month of extra lessons.

Some progress has been made.

However, many students still lack Academic Ability and need to pass exams.

So, does the announcement we're hearing now mean that old questions won't be on the exam?

"The story about stealing the exam papers is probably one thing," Hachiman said. "Because no one would be stupid enough to just go to the office and steal the exam papers. So it's probably because Ryuen and his Ryuen were reported for buying old exam papers."

"So, in other words, we're going to use Paper B now, so the previous one can't be used, right?" a female voice interjected.

This is Suzune Horikita.

Suzune Horikita appears very imposing whenever she is not facing her brother.

But now.

It's a little disappointing.

Because.

The test paper that I worked so hard on was discarded.

"That should be the case," Hachiman said. "Because the Student Council will announce this directly, it shows how much importance the school attaches to this matter. So the old questions probably won't be on the test again."

"After all, it has now been revealed that the Ryuen's class knew the exam questions."

"If other classes do poorly on the exam and then cause trouble, it will be embarrassing for both the school and the Student Council."

So what should the students in Class C do?

Without the exam papers, a number of students would still face the risk of failing.

After all, we've only been studying for a little over ten days, and it's impossible to make rapid progress in such a short time.

On the other side...

Class A, First Year.

"What kind of tricks is Ryuen up to this time?" Yahiko Totsuka, Kohei Katsuragi's lackey, said as he listened to Horikita's voice coming through the loudspeaker.

"However, he also bore the punishment himself," Katsuragi said. "That shows how unwise Ryuen could be."

"After all, they were just students in Class C, not to mention they've now fallen to Class D," Yahiko Totsuka said. "And now, since the old questions can't be used, it's an opportunity for us in Class A."

Is this an opportunity?

Yes.

Manabu Horikita has already stated that the school will use the B exam paper for the test.

Therefore, we must follow the normal exam rules. For Class A, everyone has good Academic Ability and is a top student.

Therefore, if they take the exam based on their true abilities, then Class A should be able to receive a perfect score of 100 in the class evaluation.

But.

Is that really the case?

A girl with long purple hair, wearing a hair clip, had no smile on her face and always looked tense, yet she didn't seem to care.

Because.

The school never prepared any B test paper; this is just a pretext.

Therefore, the real exam paper should be the one Sakayanagi Arisu, the one she received yesterday and has already started memorizing.

Most of the students in the class are top students, so there's nothing to worry about, but it's precisely because these are all top students that it's disgusting.

Because top students have very high average scores.

At the same time.

The passing grade is also very high.

It was unsettling, but I feel at ease now.

Thinking this, she looked at Sakayanagi Arisu the front seat.

Classmate Sakayanagi rested her elbows on the table, a smile on her face.

Right?

This guy is probably going to challenge the Student Council during lunch break.

And here in First Year Class B.

"I really was saved by Hachiman," Ichinose said.

Because they also obtained the test papers filled out by Suzune Horikita and the others.

Not only did they receive the exam papers for free.

They were then told that it would be best to send the materials to the students three days before the exam as contact information.

They said they were worried that sending it to classmates in advance might cause some unforeseen circumstances.

Otherwise.

If the old questions are sent out in advance, then the Student Council President can definitely catch them red-handed as long as he brings people over.

Just like the current Ryuen's class.

Therefore, Ichinose felt somewhat lucky.

But.

"Then, is it possible—" Kanzaki said. "It's Hachiman Hikigaya ... um... we can't assume that. Because it wouldn't do them any good."

Kanzaki frowned, but quickly smoothed it out herself.

I had no idea that I had removed a correct answer.

Chapter 85 Sakayanagi Arisu: I'm Here to Take Down the Student Council

Because the first-year students' exam papers were leaked, the exam questions had to be changed.

This caused immense suffering for students who had prepared to memorize exam questions from the outset.

After all.

The thought of being expelled for failing an exam is terrifying, isn't it? It's not just the mental pressure, but also the Academic Ability pressure.

"I should have studied more."

There was more than one student in Class C who shared this view.
