What Level Is She Playing At?

Kushida suddenly looked at a corner hidden in the shadows and said, "Student Council President, may I ask you to come out now?"

Upon hearing this, Horikita immediately looked over.

It was only then that she realized there was another person standing opposite her!

The other party didn't make a sound at all from beginning to end; they just stood there.

However, she didn't notice at all.

Suzune Horikita's expression also became tense.

Because Kushida was right; now his cold, stern face and glasses gave him the appearance of a wise man.

Isn't he the Student Council President?

"Don't worry."

As the most Meritocracy person in this school, Manabu Horikita glanced at the two of them and said calmly, "I will keep this a secret; it's my duty as Student Council President. Similarly, I will ensure the fairness of the bet. Whoever breaks the agreement will be punished accordingly. Of course, that's on the premise that the bet is upheld."

Manabu Horikita spoke, he gave Horikita a deep look.

"I..."

Suzune Horikita opened her mouth, seemingly caught in a somewhat timid state.

Kushida watched Suzune Horikita's expression.

Um.

Very good.

Manabu Horikita is the Student Council President. I learned from the upperclassmen that Horikita who has 39 students under his wing, and he is very reliable and fair.

As for Suzune Horikita, you should agree to her bet now.

Kushida Kokoro said.

Then they heard Suzune Horikita seem a little scared, and then she called out.

"Elder brother--"

Huh?

Kushida looked somewhat puzzled.

I'm wondering why Suzune Horikita calls the Student Council President "brother".

"Suzune, I'm just acting as a notary right now, you don't need to be so nervous," Manabu Horikita said.

"And Kushida," Manabu Horikita said to Kushida. "You don't need to mind my sibling relationship with Suzune. Also, don't worry, I won't target you. In fact, I'd like to let you train my good-for-nothing sister a bit, even though you've been here for a while. But I still have to say, this school isn't as simple as you think."

Despite having already defeated the first-year students and successfully reached the top of Class A, Suzune Horikita still a formidable opponent.

However, these achievements were not actually due to her own efforts.

Manabu Horikita was well aware of this.

Furthermore, Horikita's future rivals will no longer be limited to first-year students.

He will soon step down, and the next Student Council President, most likely Sakayanagi, is no pushover.

So.

If you're not careful, you'll fall into a pit and be unable to get out.

"Therefore, Kushida, you can completely trust me."

Manabu Horikita spoke frankly and made no attempt to hide his true feelings, saying calmly, "This is a gamble between you two, and I will not participate. After all, it would be very troubling for me to ruin my reputation and image because of my sister."

Yes, Manabu Horikita, as the Student Council President, has accumulated a considerable network of connections at the school.

Even many important figures have recognized his talent.

Therefore, it is certain that he will have a bright future.

As for Suzune, she didn't care if she failed once or twice.

These can all become experiences on her path to growth.

As for Kushida, although she was shocked to learn about the relationship between the Horikita Siblings, she had invited Manabu Horikita to be a witness, and now that witness was fulfilling his duty.

Therefore, she had no reason to refuse.

"I believe you," Kushida said. "However, let's change the terms of the bet. We'll use your math score from this final exam as the benchmark for the total score across all subjects. The winner will be determined by your score. And if the scores are tied..."

Kushida paused, looking at Horikita with some anticipation.

She really wanted Horikita to say something like, "If the scores are the same, I'll consider it a loss."

However, Horikita showed no intention of speaking, Kushida could only grit his teeth and continue, "Then, the bet is invalid. But I won't give up. If it's a tie, then we'll continue in the next exam."

"Can."

Horikita nodded slightly. "Then, do we need to leave behind any written evidence or something?"

"No need, I trust you."

Kushida shook his head and gave a sincere smile.

Actually, my emotions haven't calmed down yet.

Because.

Oh, I see.

Kushida understood; Suzune Horikita was the younger sister of Student Council President Manabu Horikita.

Horikita, Suzune Horikita.

Why didn't she think of that?

And she actually asked the Student Council President to act as a notary to witness her plan to bully his honest sister.

Day.

"..." Kushida.

Then.

When Hachiman ran into Shiina Hiyori who had rushed over to the movie theater, his phone suddenly received a bunch of spam text messages.

That's about it.

I'm doomed, I messed with the Student Council President's sister.

[What to do, what to do, what to do?]

Will the Student Council President retaliate against me?

Such as...

Spam texts from Kushida.

Chapter 191 This wave, on which floor is she?

In the library.

Although the final exams have already begun.

However, today is only the first day, so the Matoba everyone studying hard that I had imagined did not appear.

Hachiman also received an IOU.

I, Hiyori Shiina, on behalf of all the students in First-year Class D, borrow 1 million Private Points from Hachiman Hikigaya, which will be fully repaid in three months.

Sign.]

Hachiman said that there was only one reason why Shiina would contact him.

That means Class D is out of money.

After enrolling, apart from the first month when the Ryuen's class had 100,000 points, they lived a life of hunger and cold.

In the VIP Exam, they each received 100,000 points.

But now that two months have passed, there's not much money left.

So this month, it's the beginning of Matoba Class D has a 0% evaluation score and zero income.

"Drop!"

"Your private account has received 1 million points. Current balance: 1,019,700."

"..."

Judging from the voice message announcing the arrival of funds, Shiina indeed didn't have much money.

"I had originally considered collaborating with your class, Hachiman."

"The students in both of our classes are not very Academic Ability. In a normal exam, both classes would definitely suffer heavy losses. So the only way to avoid both classes failing is to create and leak exam questions for each other."

"However, after learning about the exam rules in the morning, Class C contacted me and gave us 400,000 points so that we could choose to fight against Class B," Hiyori added.

In other words, Shiina was reminding Hachiman that Sakayanagi Arisu of Class C, also known as Sakayanagi Class, might be about to launch an offensive.

Then make him more vigilant.

But she was clearly oversimplifying things.

Because.

Sakayanagi Arisu is a very decisive person. In order to extract points, she even applied to the school for a backup machine after discovering that Hachiman had done so. So she directly took the plane that transported the backup machine to the ship.

So.

It seems that Sakayanagi is currently in contact with Kushida, and may even be trying to train Kushida to become a spy for Class A.

But.

Hachiman picked up the books he had borrowed from the library when he arrived.

"I don't think you need to remind me of this," Hachiman said.

There's no need to remind Hiyori Shiina.

Because Sakayanagi Arisu had already begun her attack.

She contacted Kushida directly.

Although Kushida cleverly used a little trick, deliberately calling him during her conversation with Sakayanagi, let's not forget that Masumi Kamuro also called during that time.

At that time, Sakayanagi Arisu was meeting Kushida, while Kamuro was calling him.

This is no coincidence.

Rather, it's more likely that Sakayanagi had already figured out Kushida's methods and even used them against him.

He knew that Kushida would contact him.

So she deliberately talked those things to Kushida in front of him. She did it intentionally so he could hear it and confirm that she was manipulating his pawns.

So.

In this wave, Kushida's performance could barely be considered to be in the third tier.

However, Sakayanagi is definitely standing on the fifth floor.

Sakayanagi likely knew that Kushida was his accomplice, and yet he still wanted to harm Kushida right in front of him. This indicates that Sakayanagi Arisu is provoking him.

Will he respond?

The people on the other side were also waiting for his response.

Kushida arranged to Horikita at her usual spot, but Manabu Horikita left after becoming a notary.

Horikita and Kushida, however, remained where they were.

Kushida spoke first.

"Just now, you actually secretly contacted Hachiman Hikigaya, didn't you!"

"How could this be—"
