Ryuen: "As the Tyrant of the Former Class C, I Declare War on You!"
"Furthermore, the top student from your class also came to tutor our class before," Hachiman said.
"Uh..." This Ichinose speechless.
"And then," Hachiman said, "Could you tell me about Nagumo?"
"Nagumo... senpai—"
Perhaps feeling guilty towards Hachiman, Ichinose brought up Nagumo's situation.
It's really nothing important.
Nagumo was the senior who invited her to join the Student Council and help with tasks.
As their direct senior, Nagumo seems to want to guide and assist them.
Then this time, they were informed that the exam paper was set by Class A, and that Class A already knew the exam questions.
If necessary, he can also use his status as Student Council member to engage in illegal activities.
I see.
Hachiman nodded as he listened to Ichinose's description.
It seems that Nagumo, a second-year student, is indeed making contact with Class B.
The reason for contacting Class B is quite simple.
Sakayanagi Arisu, a student from Class A, has already gone to challenge the Student Council, making it difficult for Nagumo to directly contact Class A. Contacting lower-ranking classes like C or Class D would be pointless.
But it's different when you come into contact with Class B.
Class B has the potential to reach Class A, and Nagumo was also a graduate of Class B, so to the students in Class B, he is like their senior.
So.
Building relationships is easy. And once relationships are established, control over the distance is not far off.
It's not that I doubt his skill level, but rather that I'm certain he possesses such ability.
Otherwise, the other party wouldn't be able to represent the second year.
But.
"I think it's best if our Special Exam as first-year students aren't interfered with by upperclassmen," Hachiman said. "Of course, if Nagumo is willing to help you, then even without our Class C, your Class B could be promoted very quickly."
"We in Class B wouldn't do something like that." But Ichinose quickly shook her head. "It's unfair to the others."
Oh.
Oh, I see.
So you're being quite upright.
But.
Hachiman has confirmed that if it's a real class showdown, then Class B will probably be finished.
Because.
The fact that class competition, like Hachiman obtaining anonymous point cards, shows that the school definitely doesn't want students who are upright and virtuous.
Therefore, being too upright and positive does not actually meet the requirements of this school.
So, if it really comes down to competition, Ichinose, you might end up at the bottom.
However, the Class B, which currently lacks competitiveness, is a good Class B for Hachiman.
After all, his goal is to reach A. If Class B also gets stronger, then he'll have to fight another wave of Class B, which will be very difficult.
Therefore, the current Class B, which has no offensive capabilities, is exactly what he expected.
"However," Hachiman Hikigaya said, "Do you know that man?"
Hachiman looked at the table in front of him.
A middle-aged man with short silver hair and black-rimmed glasses finished his meal, then took out a tissue to wipe his hands and left.
Although he was middle-aged, he moved with elegance and had good manners, like a gentleman.
"It feels like someone I know," Hachiman said. "I just couldn't quite place it at first."
"It seems that the faculty and staff come to eat on the third floor, and that man..." Ichinose said. "I saw him once in the elevator, when my homeroom teacher Chie Hoshinomiya, greeted him."
"Oh." Hachiman nodded.
"It seems they address each other as... Chairman Sakayanagi," Ichinose said.
Sakayanagi... the chairman, right?
Sakayanagi.??
"..." Hachiman.
Hachiman realized what was happening.
Why does the other person look somewhat familiar?
Because of the other person's short silver hair.
Among the people he knew with the same hair type, there was a dangerous individual with silver hair as well.
And the other party's identity is... Sakayanagi Arisu, Class A, First Year.
Hey, hey, hey, is this really necessary?
Hachiman suddenly realized that the competition in this class was impossible.
Because.
The father of the opponent they wanted to defeat turned out to be a high-ranking official in the school.
He is the one who sets the exam questions.
And.
I always thought Sakayanagi was a rich woman, but now I realize she really is Miss Sakayanagi.
The rich woman is indeed by my side.
P. S.: My old computer broke down, so I bought a new computer from a reputable online retailer. Instead of being shipped from the warehouse, it was shipped directly from Beijing. I placed the order on the 6th, and they said it wouldn't arrive until the 11th. I was completely dumbfounded. I asked customer service if I could get a refund, but they wouldn't, saying the 11th was the latest possible arrival date. That's not actually the case; it's already the 9th, and the logistics are stuck in Guangzhou.
P. S.: I don't have enough money to buy a new computer.
P. S.: The big update is delayed by two days; it will be updated at 11 AM on the 13th. It's not that I don't want to write, it's just... my computer hasn't arrived yet.
Chapter 94 Ryuen: As the former tyrant of Class C, I declare war on you!
Although she knew that Sakayanagi Arisu was a genuine rich girl and that her relatives held the highest authority in the school.
However, Hachiman is also very rational.
Since Classmate Sakayanagi is Classmate Sakayanagi, and she can't possibly support him, her being a rich young lady has little to do with him.
As long as lunch is provided regularly, there won't be any problems.
In this way.
Hachiman's focus remains on Class Advancement a grade.
As a student, it's quite an achievement to get 10 million points from the Chabashira.
And completing this task also fulfilled her regret, as she had been unable to extricate herself from the past.
Although Hachiman has never read any books on psychology, it is certain that Chabashira is experiencing psychological problems.
So, this can be considered killing two birds with one stone.
From this perspective, Hachiman is willing to complete the Class Advancement plan here.
Then.
Sakayanagi comes from a very wealthy family, but given her arrogance, Hachiman doesn't believe she would choose to break the rules.
Otherwise, they wouldn't say that this school is boring and they want a more interesting life.
Because she was at the pinnacle of power in the school from the very beginning, it would be very easy for her to use that power to cause trouble.
So, she probably never even considered using the authority granted to Chairman Sakayanagi.
Moreover, her familial relationship with Chairman Sakayanagi is not an added bonus, but rather a shackle for her.
Even if she wanted to use the permissions, there would be restrictions.
For example, her current status in Class A.
Yes.
Sakayanagi is physically weak and usually needs a cane to move around, so she probably has to give up Special Exam related to sports.
So if it's revealed that she's a relative of the chairman, wouldn't people suspect that she was actually placed in Class A by the chairman through abuse of power?
Although it was discovered through this period of interaction that Sakayanagi had not violated any rules, she was exceptionally outstanding in other aspects, so the interviewer ignored her frail physique and assigned her to Class A.
They were probably groomed to be representatives.
Because, in many cases, a representative does not need to do things personally, but is responsible for coordinating and issuing orders.
In other words, Sakayanagi Arisu was rightfully assigned to Class A.
However, there are always some annoying people in the world, so the fact that her kinship with Chairman Sakayanagi was publicized will also bring her trouble.
In this way.
A crisis could arise if she uses the authority granted to Chairman Sakayanagi.
Given her intelligence, she certainly wouldn't use it carelessly.
This also ensures that there are no dangerous external forces interfering with the class competition. So it's still somewhat reassuring. Moreover, Hachiman tricked her into participating in the Student Council, giving her a plan to make "school life less boring," so she probably can't focus her attention on the class rivalry for the time being.
Therefore, you can score points during this period.
For first-year students, the Special Exam written exam this month is just around the corner.
Having received the test paper, there was no need to be coy. After returning to the dormitory, Hachiman, like his other classmates, started doing practice questions.
Actually, it's quite hopeless from this perspective.
Because when doing practice questions, it's impossible to tell who created the test paper; it perfectly fits the category of one created by the school.
In other words, Sakayanagi Arisu is indeed a genius.
Although she is just a student, she already has the ability to create exam questions.
Therefore, an ordinary person using ordinary methods certainly cannot defeat her.
So, perhaps because he was doing practice problems, Hachiman thought about Sakayanagi Arisu several times tonight.
The official exam is the day after tomorrow, so for first-year students, it's basically the same: make the most of the time to practice questions.
It was only the next day.
Kushida brought some news.
That is, even though the exam is just around the corner, the students from Class D still invited her to play together.
So calm?
You should know that in his class, after receiving the test papers, most students hardly had any time or mood to play; they were just doing practice questions, frantically doing practice questions.
This is a typical reaction of struggling students when faced with exam questions.
So it's somewhat surprising that the students in Ryuen class are still so relaxed.
It's important to know that Class C and Class D are both lower-ranking classes. Although Class D... well, that is, the Ryuen's class, was originally Class C when they enrolled, so it seems that their class configuration is somewhat higher than Hachiman's.
However, it also has a lot of underachievers.
So, theoretically, obtaining the exam paper means frantically doing practice questions.
But they actually went to play instead.
