Nagumo, You're the Weakest One. Didn't You Know? (cont.)

"How is the situation in your class right now?" Hachiman then changed the subject.

"Although Class A barely managed to keep their positions, Katsuragi also felt like he was facing a formidable enemy in this exam," Sakayanagi Arisu said.

He looked helpless.

But don't be fooled. Because in the VIP Exam, it was Sakayanagi Arisu who instructed Ryuen to directly eliminate the three VIP from Class A.

This resulted in Class A receiving a direct score reduction of 150 points.

There are three advantages to doing this.

1. Similar to the Hachiman scheme, if it is found that every classmate can operate, in order to prevent some incompetent teammates from making mistakes and causing the class to lose points, then deduct all the points first.

2. The exam rules state that points will be deducted for missing group meetings, and she has already lost one point during the Uninhabited Island Exam. If she loses another point, there is a possibility that the idiot will question her.

As for point 3.

Class A is in a crisis or even a delicate state. If Katsuragi is unable to regain the advantage, then he will automatically be removed from the role of Class representative.

So she's aiming to seize control of Class A without bloodshed.

This guy's specialty is winning people's hearts.

Just like now.

Hachiman thought the other person was probably referring to her heart condition, which was why she was forbidden from all strenuous exercise, but she deliberately touched her leg, which almost made him waver.

Do you want him to reveal information?

Will he attend?

"This time, my class won't target Class A," Hachiman honestly replied.

"Oh."

Sakayanagi Arisu pouted.

Hachiman is now a student in Class B, which is a delicate position. Class B has the potential to rise directly to the top, so we might soon see a fierce Matoba between Class A and Class B.

So now that the target is right in front of us, Hachiman, aren't you going to go?

Even if I gave you a chance, you wouldn't be able to use it.

Ah.

Wait a moment.

Sakayanagi Arisu suddenly realized what was happening.

If their target isn't Class A, then it must be... Class C?

Class C is Ichinose's class. Hachiman Hikigaya and Ichinose were allies, it's not unreasonable for him to turn his back on his ally. After all, friendships aren't reliable; only interests are.

So, are we going to kick Ichinose's class out of the competition?

No.

Ichinose's class is almost harmless, Hachiman Hikigaya will not immediately eliminate this weakest member.

In other words, the other side wants to challenge Ryuen's class.

Indeed.

In the competition among classes, Ryuen's class is highly dangerous. Therefore, it's possible to eliminate Ryuen first.

Sakayanagi Arisu instantly felt that she had grasped the other party's intention.

Having grasped the other party's intentions, as a member of the opposing class, it wouldn't hurt for her to sabotage things a little, right?

As she was thinking this, Sakayanagi heard Hachiman's voice.

"Speaking of which, does Sakayanagi have anyone in your class who is more physically fit than Sudō and Kōenji?" Hachiman asked.

"..." Sakayanagi.

Classmate Sakayanagi's enthusiasm for causing trouble instantly halved.

Because of this exam, Sakayanagi Arisu wasn't very confident.

Because Class A currently doesn't have any weapons that can stop the monsters from Hachiman Hikigaya's class.

Someone of Sudō's caliber would be among the top in Class A.

Not to mention something like Kōenji; aside from the Student Council President, almost no one could stop it.

In the exam rules, if you want to score higher, I personally recommend participating in projects that can significantly increase your score.

It's conceivable that if a boy and a girl participate in the three-legged race, and only Kōenji or Sudō participates, and since the rules don't specify that each person can only participate once, they can exploit this loophole to quickly rack up points, and the other classes simply can't stop them.

Therefore, their chances of winning dropped instantly.

Faced with the possibility of failing the exam, Sakayanagi Arisu's enthusiasm naturally waned.

"Furthermore," Hachiman continued, "I recently discovered a student named Kiyotaka Ayanokoji who has been hiding his true strength."

Oh.

Is that so?

Sakayanagi Arisu completely lost interest in participating.

As the chairman's daughter, she knew that there was a monster in Hachiman's class, and that monster was not one that ordinary people could defeat.

In this way.

The opportune moment and the advantageous location are gone.

If Hachiman Hikigaya can secure the team's leadership, then winning the Sports Festival this year is a foregone conclusion.

So the exam was over before it even started.

Sakayanagi Arisu then lost interest.

By observing Sakayanagi Arisu's expression, Hachiman also gleaned some information.

Just like Chabashira-sensei said, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji is an overpowered character. If he could be controlled, everything would be easy, but Hachiman doesn't think such an overpowered character is easy to subdue.

And.

The other party's father still wields power; even the chairman of the board might not be able to withstand him.

The location is too high.

So, it's people like Sakayanagi Arisu who are comfortable to be around.

While the two were talking, they discovered that Masumi Kamuro, who had long purple hair, had returned.

But the other person had a tense expression.

However, both Sakayanagi and Hachiman looked outside the private room.

Because a handsome, sunny guy with short blond hair arrived.

"Originally, I just heard my classmates say that they saw a silver-haired girl and a dead-fish-eyed boy eating here together, so I thought it might be you guys."

"As it turns out," the other person said, "You two really have a good relationship."

"There's no need for you to worry about that, Nagumo." Sakayanagi Arisu left hand. "But is it really alright for Nagumo to be so relaxed?"

"Huh?" Nagumo asked, puzzled.

In his heart, he had already categorized Sakayanagi Arisu as a dangerous individual.

This guy is going to compete with him for the position of the next Student Council President.

At the same time, the opponent's chances of winning are not small.

However, the other party rejected his offer of 15 million.

So, after confirming that Class A, First Year's class evaluation score would be overtaken by Classes B and C, he received news of Sakayanagi's appearance and came specifically to mock him.

Surprisingly, Sakayanagi was still able to smile.

Hachiman said...

"The school gives out Special Exam every month, but the Special Exam at certain times are generally the same."

"For example, the Sports Festival exam for the entire grade might be held again around this time next year."

"Although the general rules will remain the same, the exam rules may change, and this year's assessment will be a large-scale competition between the Red and White Competition teams across the entire grade."

"However, next year it is also possible that we will be divided into three grade levels and compete based on the total score of each grade level."

"And at times like this, as the Nagumo in the grade, wouldn't you guys definitely get points deducted?" Hachiman said.

"..." Nagumo.

There are currently 122 second-year students.

There are 137 third-year students.

Every Sports Festival requires all students to participate, and his second-year students are the fewest, so he is at a significant disadvantage in this area.

Even if he could manipulate the grades of second-grade students, the gap was still too large compared to other grades, so in terms of total score, the probability of losing was 90%.

"You guys really know how to spoil the fun," Miyabi Nagumo said. "But Hachiman Hikigaya, is it really okay for you to be so close to Sakayanagi Arisu right now?"

"Since you're in Class B now, that means you're in the White team."

"Then this time, your class will definitely lose 200 points!" Nagumo said.

Yes, that's right.

There's another point that Hachiman needs to consider.

So, in the Red vs White team, he was from Class B and was assigned to the White team.

Class C in all three grades are White team.

Then, Class D in all three grades were in the Red team.

There are very few instances of underdogs succeeding in this school, so the advantage of Class A is still very prominent.

Nagumo is a force to be reckoned with, and he controls his second year, so he definitely won't let his class lose in the Red team.

Therefore, exposing fake news might help the Red team gain points.

In this way.

The chances of Hachiman's White team losing are almost 99%.

So even before the exam has started, the class evaluation score will be deducted by 200 points.

But.

The anti-counterfeiting plan is worth paying attention to.

Hachiman then wrote it down.

After having lunch with Sakayanagi, Hachiman Hikigaya returned to the classroom.

Afternoon classes were cancelled, and the first period of the afternoon was reserved for students to process the Sports Festival arrangements.

Then, during the second period, we will go to the gymnasium, the place where everyone had their opening ceremony when they enrolled, to explain the Sports Festival.

In other words, the entire Student Council of the school gathered there.

This was the first time that all the students in the school had met.

And now.

After Hirata finished explaining the rules, the atmosphere in the class was alright.

It's even quite popular.

For example, like this.

"It's okay, Class C has a very good chance of winning this time!"

Ken Sudō said confidently, "As long as I participate in all the events, even if I can't get first place in every single one, my total score will definitely not be low."

Ken Sudō is very confident in his athletic abilities.

Although he wasn't so arrogant as to think there was no one better than him in the school.

However, if he participates in all the projects, he does have a chance to get a lot of points.
