These Siblings Are So Tsundere! 7k

In the form distributed by the school, in addition to the five required items, Hachiman added some other items such as translating classical Chinese, writing haiku, playing rock-paper-scissors, and Cavalry Battle to fill in the blanks and submitted them to the teacher.

The students then simply need to train and wait for the Command Tower showdown to begin.

Only.

"??"

"I don't think I've been assigned any tasks!"

"Me too!"

Most of the classmates found that they didn't seem to have any assigned tasks!

And.

Whether they win or lose, Hachiman is in charge, and the projects that take place are also handled by relevant students.

In other words...

Can they stay out of this exam?

Hachiman, acting as the commander, sends the selected project to the office and hands it over to Chabashira-sensei.

But as he walked out of the classroom, he found someone waiting for him.

Chapter 35 These siblings are so arrogant! (7k)

"Hey... Hachiman Hikigaya!"

After Hachiman submitted his project to Chabashira-sensei, he found someone waiting for him outside the office.

This is Yukimura.

As one of the few top students in the class, Yukimura was chosen as a backup plan to deal with the written exams that would be asked by Class B.

But.

He seemed to have no intention of going back to intensive study, but instead found Hachiman and said, "I have an idea."

Yukimura had an idea.

Yukimura actually has a lot of ideas.

He had expressed his opinions while on the Uninhabited Island, but when it came to the Sports Festival and Forestry Exam, his poor physical fitness made him feel inadequate.

However, for Hachiman, Yukimura is a very unique existence because Yukimura is a top student, but he is also the one who is actually in Class C and wants to look forward to Class A with the others.

In other words, they are a minority of responsible people who want to improve themselves.

Unfortunately, Yukimura Hachiman have no intention of continuing this class as Class A.

Rather, it's more accurate to say...

Although Classmate Sakayanagi wants to compete, he probably doesn't want to win.

In this way.

So what does Yukimura want to say now?

"Um?"

Yukimura said, "Do you remember Kohei Katsuragi? He seems to have lost his power now. So perhaps... we can split up Class B."

Oh ho ho, you're here too?

Do you also want to find a spy?

In that instant, Hachiman felt as if he were seeing the Ryuen of the past.

Class B was split up.

"The atmosphere in Class B is really strange right now. That loud and boisterous boy named Yahiko who used to stick around Katsuragi got expelled," Yukimura said. "And then, that guy in his class Arisu Sakayanagi, became the Vice President of the Student Council and is now in charge of Class B."

"In other words, Katsuragi has completely lost power, and he, who once held power, is likely dissatisfied with Itayagi. It is said that he was selected to become a dropout in the last dropout exam, but Itayagi lied to him and sent away his follower, so he must hate Itayagi."

I see.

Hearing one sentence, one understands the whole story; when Yukimura said this, Hachiman understood.

"Are you trying to recruit Katsuragi and make him a spy?"

"Hmm." Yukimura nodded without hesitation. "Although Katsuragi's status in Class B has declined, his strength is still very strong. So I think if Katsuragi participates, I want him to go easy on us. Of course, it's also possible that he wasn't selected by Itayagi to participate in the competition, but as long as he participates in the event, then we can all Katsuragi to go easy on us, right?"

"Then, maybe we can win one more game," he said. "That way, if we draw a game that our class is guaranteed to win, our chances of winning are very high. And with Katsuragi letting us win, if we win another game, we might even be able to get the class evaluation score from Class B!"

As soon as he said that Yukimura suddenly became radiant.

His suggestion makes sense.

This time, the battle of the command towers will be a best-of-seven series.

Winning a game against the opponent earns you 30 points. Classes that win four or more games receive an additional 100 points.

The final competition involves each class submitting 5 items, and then 7 items are randomly selected from the 10. What if you're unlucky and 5 out of the 7 items are from the opposing class? Wouldn't that be terrible?

Not bad.

Because this is the worst-case scenario.

But.

If their class can win two matches, then let Katsuragi throw one match, then Hachiman prepares a team of top students, and the top students go on to win another match.

Count them, that's 4 wins.

Therefore...

There is still a chance to win.

No wonder Yukimura has become so radiant.

However, if they could conspire with someone from the opposing class to cheat beforehand, their chances of winning would definitely increase.

Yukimura said it so well.

But.

He is still too young.

Because what kind of place is Class B? The environment is even worse than that of Class C now. Yukimura goes to try to recruit Katsuragi, not to mention whether Katsuragi, with his team spirit, would agree, just the fact that Yukimura goes there means he might be discovered by the various spies in Class B.

Then report it to Banliu.

Then what's the point of trying to win them over?

Sakayanagi is known for holding grudges, so you, Yukimura, are probably the next student to drop out of Class C.

Hachiman pays close attention to these key students who want to be promoted to Class A.

Because they are merely tools on the path to Class Advancement, they will help without any promises or rewards.

It's quite pitiful that a good student like Yukimura had to drop out of school.

So.

After thinking for a moment, Hachiman Katsuragi, I don't think he's the kind of person who would disregard the overall evaluation of Class B. After all, this exam is the first year's final exam."

"They were in Class A when they entered school, and they are not too bad off to be able to return to their original position by the end of the first year."

"But Katsuragi is, after all, the representative of the class in the past, so I don't think he can't see the situation clearly."

In other words, Hachiman has already subtly rejected Yukimura, telling him that the probability of turning Katsuragi to his side is very low.

"But you can hold a grudge against someone for a long time if you hate them," Yukimura insisted.

"... I'd rather not get involved in this. If you really want to do it, then you should talk to Hirata."

Realizing that his explanations were ineffective, Hachiman chose to retreat.

"...Then I'll think about it some more." Seeing that Hachiman looked like he was about to leave, Yukimura didn't stop him.

However, he himself had made up his mind.

It's definitely possible to do that. We must go and talk to Kohei Katsuragi.

Then you should really do it.

Hachiman lifted his foot and left the corridor.

He didn't harshly refuse Yukimura or analyze the probability of failing to win over Katsuragi; in fact, he wanted Yukimura to do this.

Because.

You won't know the outcome of some things until you do them, right?

Although Yukimura's plan was terrible, even if it was terrible, it could still slightly stir up Katsuragi's rebellious spirit against Itayagi, right?

From the perspective of a student in Class C, this is reasonable, so he does not refuse.

And.

In his strategy for dealing with this exam, he also needed something to Sakayanagi Arisu.

Therefore, arranging for Yukimura Hirata to take action might have some effect.

Hachiman walked out of the school building.

Only.

"Have you been waiting long?"

Below the school building, Hachiman took a few steps forward and quickly spotted Suzune Horikita leaning against the wall, arms crossed over her chest, standing alone.

In the wintery atmosphere, she seemed a little cold. After maintaining this posture, she tugged at the dark red scarf around her neck.

It cannot be denied.

Just as I discovered when she enrolled, Suzune Horikita was indeed a genuine beauty.

Bathed in the glow of the setting sun, she hunched slightly, yet her perfect figure once again left everyone mesmerized.

Upon arriving at the school, he discovered a ton of incredibly beautiful girls, and he admitted that Suzune Horikita was the most beautiful one he had ever seen.

"What are you thinking about?" Suzune, noticing that Hachiman had suddenly stopped moving.

"No, it's just that you seem the same as when you enrolled," Hachiman said.

"... Are we the same kind of idiots? Yes, you saw me when I was at my weakest," Horikita said.

"No." Hachiman gently shook his head. "I just think you're still as beautiful as when you enrolled."

"Huh?"

Horikita looked at him in surprise, because she didn't understand why he was praising her.

What is the purpose of this?

There was no real purpose; it was just an expression of admiration for the beautiful scenery.

"Then let's go to the Shopping Street," Hachiman said.

It was time for school to end, and he asked Suzune Horikita to wait for him.

He actually knew that Horikita was probably not very satisfied with his arrangements for her.

She was merely a backup plan for the academically gifted team preparing for the written exam in Class B.

But unfortunately, Horikita.

To compete with students from Class B and win outright, you need to become a monster or have cheat codes.

Although you are very talented, it is difficult for you to win.

However, one cannot completely deny the existence of a person.

For example.

If we're comparing the amount of time one can spend studying in a day, then Horikita would definitely win.

However, the exam period certainly cannot last that long.
