The Command Tower Exam Begins: Facing Off Against Arisu Sakayanagi! 8k
Of course, he concealed the fact that he was hospitalized.
However, he didn't completely lose.
Even though he only stayed at the school for a week, as long as Sakayanagi Narumori didn't return, his Special Exam plan would continue.
Therefore, even though he was not present, he would still be the chief examiner for the next exam.

Chapter 33: The Commander Exam Begins, Showdown with Sakayanagi Arisu! 8k
I've already made a promise with Classmate Sakayanagi to have a showdown in the next exam.
Hachiman also understood why Sakayanagi had kept Katsuragi.
The Class Vote school puts a lot of pressure on you, especially since you've been spending so much time with your classmates.
But.
There is a way to avoid feeling guilty.
That is, to remove those who are not very useful to the class. So, the Yahiko Totsuka had not made any significant contributions to the class.
This makes it seem reasonable that everyone is doing something excessive.
At the same time, the fact that the strong character Katsuragi was initially mentioned as someone who should be expelled from school was changed to Yahiko, which made everyone feel the magnanimity of Little Princess Sakayanagi.
He seemed to have an incredibly broad mind, even able to tolerate the leader of the opposing faction.
Those who remained realized that Sakayanagi had eliminated the useless people, so they had no choice but to excel and avoid being abandoned. Therefore, they became even more loyal and hardworking.
From this perspective.
Classmate Sakayanagi seems to be quite skilled at psychological manipulation.
She probably kept Katsuragi behind to preserve a useful pawn.
So she's preparing to fight him.
He should respond politely as well.
In this way.
Hachiman invited Hirata out.
"How have you been feeling these past few days?" Hachiman asked.
He had seen two people who confessed in class.
One is Honami Ichinose. After her self-destruction, Ichinose's popularity and reputation did not decline, but Hirata's popularity plummeted.
It should be noted that two weeks have passed since the Class Vote the withdrawal exam.
However, a third of the people still dared not speak to Hirata, even those who had been helped by Hirata in the past.
This is natural.
The two have completely different dark histories.
The story of Ichinose is regrettable, but Hirata's past is terrifying to hear.
Because the seemingly gentle Hirata didn't save his friend, and instead used violence to bully the entire class and grade.
It even became a topic of gossip in his local area.
"I've finally said what's on my mind," Hirata said. "It feels so liberating."
"And."
"I'm going out."
He said, "Just like you said, I was running away, and then I met my friend."
"He attempted suicide by jumping off a building, and suffered severe damage to his physical functions. When I found him, he was undergoing rehabilitation training."
"Even walking was difficult; I almost didn't dare to get close."
"But he eventually forgave me."
"He also wasn't sure if he would have the courage to help if I were the one being bullied."
"However, being in a situation is one thing, but the ultimate fact is that I didn't help him," Hirata said with a sigh.
"Then I could only watch him do his rehabilitation training. After graduating from this school, I might go on to study medicine," Hirata said. "His body has lingering effects, but I hope I can help him in the future. I regret not helping him in the past, and I didn't want to do nothing in the future either."
"It's good that you have a goal," Hachiman said. "Then cheer up. I've been to the school library, and it has a lot of books on this topic. If you aspire to study medicine, you can start laying the foundation now."
"I understand." Hirata nodded.
In this way.
Hirata should be a valuable asset in the next exam.
Hachiman thought to himself.
Thus, Hachiman waited for the Special Exam on the 1st of next month.
The students continued to have peaceful and stable days.
However, Hachiman also had to deal with the lingering issues from the withdrawal exam.
He already knew that Class Ichinose had made a deal with Sakayanagi.
Let them cast their 40 votes of Appreciation Vote for Sakayanagi Arisu, and then Sakayanagi will cover the shortfall in their Class A's 20 million yen.
This money is a loan to them, not a free gift; it's just that we're waiving the interest.
Even though they could have sold the votes, the saints in Class A still felt that Little Princess Sakayanagi had done a great favor.
Therefore, I am grateful.
They just started with zero points each, all in order to raise the money.
Including Honami Ichinose.
Hachiman tried to give Ichinose money, but Ichinose did not betray her classmates in Class A and continued to live on zero points with everyone.
They eat unpalatable free mountain vegetable meals every day.
Meanwhile, the students in Class A were also caught off guard, as their quality of life suddenly plummeted. However, they did encounter many third-year students from Class C and Class D who were also enjoying the free mountain vegetable meals. This brought them closer together, and subtly, because the Student Council President was about to resign, some of the third-year students even suggested voting for Ichinose.
That's absolutely heartless.
You should know that these students from Third-year Class C and Class D in the third year were actually bribed by Classmate Sakayanagi, and were actually conquered by the personal charm of the students from Class A.
Upon receiving such a message, Hachiman could only pat his head in dismay.
Since Sakayanagi Manabu Horikita guaranteed Sakayanagi's 100 votes, they should ultimately be honored.
This is the credibility of Manabu Horikita.
However, he still has a chance to turn things around.
That is, both Nagumo and Kiriyama withdrew from the Student Council President election.
However, he still holds a spot as a candidate for Student Council President.
Hachiman learned from Kamuro that Yahiko Totsuka was expelled from Class B, also Appreciation Vote for Ichinose, so Ichinose's popularity is really quite terrifying.
Only.
If he gives the nomination to Ichinose, then Ichinose will still lose.
Because Sakayanagi has 100 votes from the third grade and 118 votes from the first grade.
Furthermore, since Sakayanagi previously helped Class Ichinose with 20 million points to cover their shortfall, they probably wouldn't feel comfortable not voting for Sakayanagi.
So Classmate Sakayanagi has won over the Class Ichinose's favor.
In this way.
The next Student Council President can only be Sakayanagi Arisu.
Since Sakayanagi has a very high chance of winning, there is naturally no need for him to risk trouble.
In this way.
Time flies, and the students in Class A finally came to an end their days of being penniless.
And on February 1st.
There are still more than 20 days until Manabu Horikita, the third-year Student Council President, resigns.
The students arrived at the classroom early.
Then, I'll get some attention from Hachiman.
Sae Chabashira had put on a thicker coat because of the weather, came in.
Chabashira-sensei was a little different today because she was wearing white stockings and high heels.
This was a very new experience for Hachiman.
He had always hoped that Horikita would occasionally wear white stockings, but unfortunately, this guy only ever wore black stockings.
It turned out that Chabashira-sensei was the one who changed into white stockings first.
However, not every student is Hachiman Hikigaya.
Most of the students felt nervous.
It should be said that only 20 days have passed since the withdrawal exam. Although some students have started to study diligently to prepare for the new exam, there are also those who have started to slack off. In addition, for some reason, the school did not remove the desks Yamauchi. So every day, the empty desks Yamauchi serve as a reminder that someone has withdrawn from school and that no one is safe.
So.
This has made them so afraid that they're dropping out of school.
Therefore.
I receive my living expenses from the school on the 1st of every month, which makes me very happy.
However, I also feel anxious.
Because Special Exam will be announced.
And there is the possibility of being expelled from school.
And now.
Chabashira said, "First of all, this is a tradition, and I think you all know that. However, there's only one exam left until the end of this semester. You can treat it as a final exam."
The school system did not cease operation despite the hospitalization of the Acting Chairman Tsukishiro.
"As Special Exam at the end of this semester, you will be asked to demonstrate the combined results of what you have learned so far, including intelligence, physical strength, teamwork, and perhaps luck. In short, you need to unleash the various potentials you possess."
