Nagumo Miyabi: Damn! 7k (Continued)

So put your hands in your pockets.

"No need." Her voice came from afar, and then silence fell around them.

Is that so?

Since others don't want it, there's no reason for him to give it away for free.

So Hachiman left with the green recording pen.

"Ugh... my legs are numb again. I really hope I don't have to do meditation in tomorrow's exam."

Members of the Hachiman group, such as Ishizaki, appeared very nervous during the meditation session.

Yukimura was exhausted, like a dog.

Today is the seventh day, and tomorrow will be the real assessment, which will be a comprehensive evaluation of the six groups of boys and the six groups of girls. The top three will be rewarded, but the bottom three will be punished, and the last place may even be expelled. Expulsion here means that the group leaders of the three grades in the last place group will be expelled.

It could be said that people feel uneasy because the consequences of this punishment are so severe.

This anxiety isn't limited to boys; girls feel the same way.

"I have a feeling of unease." The person who said this was not the somewhat dangerous Karuizawa, but Honami Ichinose.

"None of the students in Class C showed much hostility. They probably felt that with the current 14+6 allocation model, even if they couldn't get first place, they wouldn't have to drop too much in the score gap. So they were relaxed and didn't target me. Ah, of course, I'm not saying that everyone in Class C is a bad person."

On the seventh day, Hachiman encountered her again during lunch. The Archangel explained her situation.

Ichinose is in Itagi's group, and there are a total of 15 first-year students in Itagi's group. However, there are 6 students in Itagi's Class A, while Class Ichinose. Therefore, she is the only student in the class. If any bullying occurs, she will be the first to be targeted.

You're blocking my way.

There was some noise from the people getting food ahead, but the person causing the noise was quite conspicuous.

She is Miyabi Nagumo, the Vice President of the Student Council Student Council is surrounded by her classmates and the person in charge of the second year. And there is also... the tyrant of First-year Class D, Ryuen Kakeru.

During these days, Ryuen stayed in Hirata's group and was ostracized by the others, but Hirata always accepted him. However, he also noticed that Ryuen seemed to have really given up his rule over Class D, so Ryuen looked like just an ordinary student.

But judging from his tone, he was still very arrogant.

You're blocking my way.

He said to Miyabi Nagumo.

"..."

This guy is arrogant.

Nagumo stared at Ryuen, at this difficult fellow to tame.

Because he had previously seen that during the holidays, he went to Manabu Horikita theories, and he thought that the other party was targeting Manabu Horikita.

He also began to try to win them over.

On one hand, it's to annoy Sakayanagi, disrupt the first-year exams, and make sure Sakayanagi voluntarily withdraws from the election. On the other hand, Ryuen's class evaluation score is 0. Since it's 0 and won't be negative, it can be used to do other things.

Therefore, Nagumo believed that they were worth recruiting.

Certainly.

On the one hand, it was also to collect votes from Ryuen.

So he directly transferred 500,000 points to the other party as a gesture of goodwill.

The other party accepted it instantly.

But after collecting the votes, he said each vote cost 200,000, and since there were 40 students in his class, that's 8 million.

What kind of outrageous demand is this?

When asked to return the 500,000 yuan, he made excuses, saying he had spent it all.

So he's a despicable guy.

However, Nagumo still didn't want to give up the 40 votes from First-year Class D.

So Nagumo said, "Speaking of which, you're the leader of First-year Class D, right? You have a good eye. How about joining the competition between me and the Student Council President? I can let you place an extra bet. Choose one to win between my group and Horikita's group."

"What's the stake?"

Ryuen seems to be interested.

"10,000," Nagumo said.

"Hehe—" But Ryuen smiled and then composed himself, "I don't gamble on anything less than 1 million. If you can't afford it, then forget it. Second year isn't all that great."

"Looks like you're really not afraid of me, huh? Don't you still owe me 500,000?" Nagumo said.

"500,000? Weren't you the representative of the second year? In the end, you even have to take back such a small amount as 500,000? And now, you can't even afford a million, and you don't dare to gamble a million."

As he spoke, Ryuen actually bypassed Nagumo and walked forward.

"..." Nagumo.

Day.

"Who is he?" Nagumo watched Ryuen leave, but in his mind, Ryuen had already been placed second on his list of the people he hated most.

The reason it is number one is because the number one is Hachiman Hikigaya.

Third is Sakayanagi.

Although Sakayanagi was his rival, she was too cute for Nagumo to be ranked first.

Therefore, Hachiman Hikigaya often ate with Sakayanagi, was placed first by him.

Meanwhile, Hachiman ran into Manabu Horikita as he was about to leave the cafeteria.

"What are your thoughts on this exam? I heard that Nagumo has been taking turns playing Joker in the first-year dorms. Has he been doing anything behind the scenes... never mind."

Manabu Horikita seemed to have something to say, but then shook his head.

"It's about your duel with Miyabi Nagumo this time, isn't it?" Hachiman said directly, "But I'm sorry, it seems you were already prepared."

"Yes, we're ready. My group is very strong," Manabu Horikita said. "At least for now, we won't lose."

Is that so?

Then why don't you just go to the exam with confidence?

As Akane Tachibana had said, Manabu Horikita was under a lot of pressure during this exam. However, since Akane Tachibana had already refused Hachiman's help, there was no need for Hachiman to help her either.

However, on the day before the exam, Hashimoto, who was in the same group, returned with a wound on the corner of his mouth.

He seemed to have gone out around 8 p. m. and didn't return until after 9 p. m.

It seems Hashimoto was attacked. And not just once.

"Hashimoto, are you alright? Should we go to the infirmary?" Yukimura asked, getting off the bed again after climbing up.

He was in poor physical condition these days, but Hashimoto, a student from Class C, had helped him, so he was very grateful.

"It's alright," Hashimoto said.

Then, without leaving a trace, he glanced in Hachiman's direction, but Hachiman did not meet his gaze.

Because he knew very well why Hashimoto was being attacked.

But he was surprised that Hashimoto could be so despicable.

Hachiman remained silent.

Because he tricked Hashimoto, making Hashimoto owe him 1 million yen, and also rented out a voice recorder he had taken from the school to him for 100,000 yen.

They hadn't considered that this kind of exam could also be used to collect intelligence evidence, so after their phones were confiscated, they lost the ability to record. Meanwhile, Hashimoto was swindled out of 1 million yen by Hachiman using a recording of his betrayal of Class C as leverage. Hachiman then reassured him, saying that he was probably the only one in the entire school with a voice recorder, so Hashimoto could use it to pull off a big scheme and earn back his 1 million yen.

Hashimoto himself does not have 1 million points.

Although Ryuen owed him, Ryuen was even more penniless than him.

So he went all out.

Hashimoto was just too despicable. He recorded his classmate's farting sound, then deliberately blurted out, "XX, you farted!" and used it to blackmail this classmate. If the classmate refused to pay, he would release the recording and play it for the girl he liked. If it were just a normal threat, that would be one thing, but this kind of thing is disgusting and shameful.

You could say they're shameless.

However, he was mostly dealing with people from Katsuragi's faction, so it didn't matter if the relationship worsened.

Thus, after Hashimoto disgusted his classmate and got his 1 million back, the final exam of the Forest Camp arrived and the results came out.

On the morning of the eighth day, the exams, which started at 7:00 and lasted until 10:00, will be held at 11:00. The results will be announced at 11:00, and at 2:00 in the afternoon, students will be put on buses to drive back to school.

However, this time it wasn't a relief for everyone to finally return to school; some students were going to be expelled.

Everyone was on tenterhooks.

This time, the huge reward points may cause changes in the rankings between classes, and the leaders of the three groups in the last-ranked group may be forced to drop out of school. At the same time, this number may also become double because they have tied a student to drop out of school along with themselves.

"First of all, I'm very happy that not a single student has fallen behind." Hoshinomiya-sensei of Class A, stood on the podium in the gymnasium, holding a microphone.

The results of this exam have been released, and she will be the one to announce them.

Because all the students, including the girls, gathered in the gymnasium, the lines here were arranged differently, according to large groups.

"What a coincidence," a voice came from Hachiman's right. "We're actually standing together."

That's the voice of a cheerful, handsome guy.

It's Miyabi Nagumo with blonde hair.

He turned to the side and smiled at Hachiman.

In Hachiman's group, the first-year students stood at the front, so the first one to stand was the person in charge, Ishizaki, and the second one was him.

But Nagumo was standing first. He wasn't the leader of his large group, but as the leader of the second-year students, he was qualified to stand in the front row.

"But Hachiman, you didn't do anything this time," he said, his tone already carrying a hint of sarcasm.

"I originally thought you would accept the challenge."

Should we accept the challenge?

"You're looking puzzled, aren't you?" Miyabi Nagumo smiled. "Do you remember why I called your name separately when I declared war on Horikita? That was my way of declaring war on you and getting you to take action."

"But right now, you haven't done anything, Hachiman."

"So," Hachiman finally acknowledged him, "You declared war on Manabu Horikita because you wanted to challenge me?"

"That was the original intention, but you didn't fight back at all. So just watch as Horikita is defeated." He said, "At the latest, I will become the Student Council President in a year. That will be the time for you to leave the school."

This is incredibly shameless. It's practically saying he wants to become the Student Council President and then use his authority over Hachiman. "You might not know that the Student Council President has much more power than you imagine. I admit I underestimated you before. You are indeed capable and have even led the class to Class A. But, Hachiman, you will soon regret not joining the Student Council."

"Then please become the Student Council President first." Hachiman said, though he didn't know where Nagumo's hostility and anger came from. "I will vote for Sakayanagi."

"..." Nagumo.

"..." The "you" in "you" is definitely a respectful form of address, but Miyabi Nagumo had already realized that people who like to use this kind of word usually look down on the other person and deliberately use it as a respectful form of address.

This is looking down on the other person.

He had already experienced this from Sakayanagi Arisu.

Hachiman also uses this title, so are these two actually the same person?

Nagumo was in a bad mood because he suddenly felt that, judging from their similar interests, Hachiman Hikigaya and Sakayanagi Arisu perfect match, so the two of them were a couple.

It makes people both jealous and envious.

"You'll see this, and Horikita will probably be forced to resign soon," he said. "His Class A will drop to Class B, and in order to graduate from Class A, he'll likely accept my help to get back into Class A. The price will be his resignation and the remaining 30-odd votes from the third year. And because of your brother's crisis, your class's votes will also fall on me. Because Horikita's sister is in your class, right?"

"And Horikita has been kind to you, so you wouldn't just watch him fall like that, would you?"

"Plus the votes from Class Ichinose," Nagumo said. "So, as I said, I'm the winner!"

"..." Hachiman felt that he saw the shadow of Ryuen in Nagumo.

Although I don't think I'll record anything useful, I'll record it anyway.

Let's see if Nagumo is from Ryuen.

Hachiman then put his left hand into his pocket.

I pressed it.

"You mean in this challenge, we're going to destroy him directly from Class A?" Hachiman then asked.

"Yes." Nagumo nodded. "And he's doomed to lose! I'm not afraid to tell you, I can control all the second-year students. To cover their living expenses, the students in Class C and Class D are completely at my mercy. And to maintain Class A's status, all the students in that class obey me. But Third-year Class B was also promoted by me. Otherwise, how do you think they could keep up with Manabu Horikita? And now the two classes are only 400 points apart."
