As the most difficult of the three events, CPR, Sakayanagi's group had also fielded its elite.
Among the second-years, they had assigned Yukino Yukinoshita.
As for the third-years, there was Hirata, who excelled in every respect; Kushida, who was also quite outstanding across the board; the rather simple-minded Shibata; and then Masumi Kamuro, wearing her usual cold expression.
Of those five, aside from Kushida being slightly weaker, all of them could be considered super elites.
However, Kushida had her own advantage: she had an excellent memory. She could remember most of the information about the friends around her, so she was quite gifted in that regard.
Thus, despite the exam having only just begun, Sakayanagi had already deployed formidable competitors.
By comparison, the members of Hachiman's group looked somewhat shabby.
They were Ichika Amasawa, Mio Ibuki, Ryuji Kanzaki, Asako Amikura, and Teita.
Teita was even a student from Third-year Class A, so no matter how one looked at it, this was unfavorable to the group's chances of victory, because Teita could throw the match.
But.
Please don't forget that although Classmate Sakayanagi had previously bought off people from other groups, those groups had been fighting separately at the time, and basically had no spare time to watch the other groups' matches.
Now, however, only four of the twenty groups were competing, and teachers were taking photos and recording videos.
It was even possible that the process of this exam would be used as an example for future juniors to watch.
Therefore.
Unless his acting was exceptionally convincing, cheating now would leave his name in infamy.
So when Teita discovered that, as a Third-year Class A student, he had been assigned to class and was then actually sent out to compete today, he felt a great deal of pressure.
