Sakayanagi: If You Want to Warn Me, Watch Your Own Back, Nagumo-senpai! Part 3 (Continued)

As a freshman, he seized the opportunity to use the least valuable routine written exam as a weapon, thus obtaining the key to running for the next Student Council President.

Then he also received 100 votes from the third grade.

And now.

They also got a third-grade dog.

There's only one reason why the senior student is so obedient: the Special Exam for the third-year students this month have ended.

Sakayanagi achieved good results in this exam by assisting Third-year Class C and Third-year Class D.

Then someone became her dog.

But.

This is not good news for Nagumo.

Sakayanagi was his rival in the Student Council President election, and Sakayanagi already had 100 votes from the third-year students.

However, there are more than 100 votes for third-year students, so they can reach in and even potentially pull other votes themselves.

For example, although we are currently assisting Third-year Class C and Third-year Class D, these two classes are already among the 100 tickets that Manabu Horikita collected for Sakayanagi that belong to Sakayanagi.

So, is Sakayanagi doing all the work for free?

No, that's not the case.

Because... this is also a way of demonstrating our strength to the third-grade A or Class B, or something like that.

Then they'll campaign for votes and stuff.

For example, Third-year Class A, in order to maintain their status that they had held for three years, even though Manabu Horikita was leading the team, they were still likely to make some compromises.

As for Third-year Class B, that class has been rotten for a long time. Whoever can get them to move up, that's who we'll listen to.

Therefore, Sakayanagi's move had an impact on Nagumo.

Honestly, it would have been so much better if you had gone with him to the Special Exam in first grade, instead of leaving him behind to cause trouble.

This is what makes Nagumo sad.

This month is Special Exam for first-year students who will travel by ship to Uninhabited Island.

Sakayanagi Arisu was unable to participate due to health reasons, so she had to stay at school.

They looked weak and helpless.

There was no one else around.

After considering it for a moment, Nagumo decided to take advantage of this time to make contact with the other party.

After all.

If I can win over Sakayanagi, does that mean I can also get the same votes that Sakayanagi got?

Then the Student Council election is a done deal.

So he planned to observe the other person for a few days before making contact.

But...

The result was that the other party participated in this Special Exam for third graders.

And then there were other gains.

Why interfere with other grades' Special Exam when you can't participate in your own grade's?

"After all, I've been at this school for two years," Nagumo said. "So I've got a good grasp of the rules and boundaries."

"So, Sakayanagi- senpai, I think you should also learn a little about moderation."

"..." Sakayanagi.

Sakayanagi- sensei's movements seemed to pause.

Has she finally realized how wrong her actions were?

After all, the school promotes class competition, but it's mostly between students of the same grade, so it's really absurd for you to participate from a different grade.

So, do you finally realize that you've crossed the line?

"So if you stop now..." Nagumo continued.

But.

"I received a message from the Student Council President," said Sakayanagi, taking out her phone. "He asked me to go to the Student Council."

Is that so?

So what I was really saying just now wasn't because I was listening to him speak, but because I received a message from the Student Council President.

Then they started to show their abilities.

"Looks like it's not just me looking for you, it's the Student Council President holding you accountable," Nagumo said gloatingly. "Because you interfered with the Special Exam of other grades without authorization. You'll be punished, won't you?"

"Yes, then it seems that even Nagumo can't interfere with the class rivalries between upperclassmen." Sakayanagi- senpai said with a rather cute expression. "After all, that's what Nagumo does."

"And I'll explain to the Student Council President that Nagumo did the same thing." Sakayanagi- senpai showed a rather cute expression.

Day.

"..." Nagumo.

This made Nagumo freeze instantly.

Suddenly I realized that Sakayanagi had interfered with this Special Exam for third-year students, and in such a blatant way that it was immediately obvious.

Therefore, it is very likely that Sakayanagi deliberately exposed himself and took the opportunity to report others, so he will also be reprimanded by Manabu Horikita or even made an example of.

Then it may be impossible to directly support Third-year Class B anymore.

Yes.

Nagumo provided support to Third-year Class B, which can be considered a hidden move.

As the Vice President of the Student Council, he has the authority to run for the next Student Council President.

However, some problems may arise. For example, he is well aware that Horikita does not agree with his views, so Nagumo is prepared for the possibility that Horikita may become an obstacle on his election campaign.

That's why we need to support Third-year Class B.

In a class rivalry, how could Third-year Class B possibly influence Third-year Class A?

If they can influence Third-year Class A, then they have President Manabu Horikita in their grasp, because they've worked so hard for so long and certainly don't want to fail in the end.

So this was an arrangement made by Nagumo.

As a result, before this arrangement has even been fully implemented and become useful, it's likely that Sakayanagi's side will be implicated and need to be dealt with.

Moment.

Nagumo wondered if he had been tricked.

So the two of them went to the Student Council together.

Student Council.

Today is Saturday, but for a dutiful Student Council President, it's also a day of working overtime.

Manabu Horikita sat in his seat.

His gaze remained calmly fixed ahead.

"Class competition is a mechanism adopted by the school to cultivate students and hope that they will grow through competition."

"But once you participate in a battle that is beyond your age group, it undoubtedly interferes with this."

"Then it's not just the school that might take action; I can't just sit idly by either."

"Because this is an act that undermines fairness and justice."

"I don't want this to happen again," Manabu Horikita said.

"As for Sakayanagi, you will write a guarantee that you will not repeat the offense. In addition, if I find that others continue to interfere, I will punish them severely."

Sakayanagi Nagumo went to the Student Council and, as expected, were reprimanded by Manabu Horikita.

Sakayanagi wrote a guarantee stating that he would no longer interfere with the Special Exam for third-year students.

They simply wrote a guarantee and did not impose any other punishment.

However, Nagumo also knew that Horikita was indeed using the Sakayanagi incident to put him in a difficult position.

Because he also interfered with the Special Exam for third graders.

Horikita's statement was that if anyone continued to interfere, they would be punished, meaning that the past matter would end there.

If he continues to support Third-year Class B, his situation will become difficult.

"President, they've gone back." After confirming that Sakayanagi Nagumo had left, Akane Tachibana, the secretary, quickly returned to report.

Today's Student Council are essentially working overtime, and this overtime is voluntary.

Although he was invited by Manabu Horikita to join the Student Council, none of the other students were as dedicated as him.

And.

The parts that needed to be completed were things that other students couldn't do or were prone to causing problems with, so Manabu Horikita did them himself.

Akane Tachibana is Manabu Horikita's classmate and his right-hand woman.

She also admired Manabu Horikita, and then felt... somewhat guilty. Although she was also a student in Third-year Class A, during Special Exam, it wasn't just her, but the entire class that was actually dragging Manabu Horikita down.

Manabu Horikita not only has to worry about class affairs, but also has to be in charge of Student Council affairs, which is very hard work.

So she tries her best to help whenever she can.

There were no complaints.

At the same time, he was also a confidant of Manabu Horikita.

"Mm." Manabu Horikita nodded.

"I hope they won't interfere with our grade's Special Exam this time," Akane Tachibana said. "Sakayanagi- senpai did a really good job this time."

Actually, things weren't right in Third-year Class B from the very beginning of this semester.

It was as if they had received special assistance, and they were able to perform exceptionally well in the exam.

This is strange.

They were students who had been competing for more than two years, so they knew very well that Third-year Class B was not that outstanding.

Manabu Horikita concluded that Third-year Class B was being supported by Nagumo using the resources of the entire second year.

That's going too far.

What is your second-grade intervention and third-grade Special Exam work?

However, Nagumo's actions were rather subtle, making it difficult to find fault with him, while Kiriyama Manabu Horikita deliberately brought into the Student Council, was unable to suppress Nagumo.

So there's nothing we can do about Nagumo.

But this time, Nagumo will no longer be able to support Third-year Class B.

As a student in Third-year Class A, I breathed a sigh of relief.

"I hope so," Manabu Horikita said. "Besides, the two of them seem to be starting to clash."

"But then, a problem arises."

Manabu Horikita had a slight headache.

If his rejection of Nagumo stemmed from his unwillingness to accept Nagumo's principle of Meritocracy solo after becoming Student Council President, is it really a good thing that Sakayanagi has appeared now, or even become the next Student Council President?

Because.

Manabu Horikita specifically looked it up.

Indeed.

Sakayanagi's blatant interference in the third-year Special Exam this time seems to have left a loophole.

This would allow him to use this as an excuse to suppress Nagumo.
