This scene is indeed quite awkward.
"But--"
Manabu Horikita walked to a corridor where there weren't many students, so even if he wanted to discuss something important...
Don't worry about being overheard.
"I don't know if you've noticed," Manabu Horikita said, "But what about the questions on your first-year exams this time?"
Is there anything wrong with this decisive battle at the command tower?
Of course.
This is because it was arranged by the Acting Chairman Tsukishiro.
The target is Kiyotaka Ayanokoji dropped out of school.
Um.
At least that's how it appears.
Even if they don't drop out of school, it will still cause disruption.
"However, I am indeed here to deliver a message to you," Manabu Horikita continued. "Normally, upperclassmen don't interfere with lowerclassmen's exams, but this time, according to my information, second-year Nagumo secretly met with first-year Sakayanagi Arisu from First Year Class B."
This time, Hachiman and his team's opponent is Class B, and Nagumo has once again made contact with Class B, his purpose is quite clear.
Is Nagumo still not giving up?
Has he forgotten how he was forced to resign, and how his successor, Kiriyama, was also fired?
"I will not give Nagumo another chance," Manabu Horikita said. "The next Student Council President, barring any unforeseen circumstances, will have to be Sakayanagi Arisu."
"Chairman Sakayanagi has been taken away for investigation on charges of abusing his power for personal gain."
"Now Tsukishiro has been parachuted in as Acting Chairman," Manabu Horikita said. "However, I only met this new chairman once before I received news that he had been sent to the hospital for treatment due to an injury."
"But he will still be the examiner for your Special Exam this time."
"It was the question he left behind," Manabu Horikita said.
I see.
From this perspective, Horikita's brother is still pretty awesome.
Feeling uneasy about the troubles at the Sakayanagi family's residence, she promoted Sakayanagi Arisu, the chairman's daughter, to the position of Student Council President.
Hopefully, she can be granted certain authority, so that even if the newly appointed Acting Chairman Tsukishiro, is not good to her, she will have the Student Council as her backing.
Manabu Horikita truly lives up to his reputation as someone who can carry 39 people.
However, this also shows that he agrees with Chairman Sakayanagi's performance.
"And now, I've received the news."
"Nagumo might make his move in this year's first-year exams. I hope you're aware of that."
After all, the older students are seasoned officers, and their involvement could very well make things even more chaotic.
So it's reassuring that Manabu Horikita has learned so little.
I'm mentally prepared.
Yeah, right!
Although I don't want to criticize Horikita's brother, he can handle his duties as Student Council President well and he does a good job as the representative of Third-year Class A. However, when it comes to things like intelligence warfare, he is far inferior. He is just too honest.
It's true that Nagumo, a second-year student, met with Sakayanagi Arisu, and even provided conveniences for First Year Class B, providing them with specialized training programs.
So why is that?
Because Sakayanagi Arisu suddenly became the Vice President despite being a first-year student, it was practically a sign that she was being designated as the next Student Council President.
Nagumo once told him that if Nagumo became the Student Council President, he would definitely expel Hachiman.
But now it's the other way around.
If Sakayanagi Arisu becomes the Student Council President, won't she expel Nagumo?
At least, Hachiman suggested that Classmate Sakayanagi expel Nagumo.
After being dismissed by Kiriyama, Nagumo became much quieter. Even when Manabu Horikita directly announced Sakayanagi as the Vice President of the Student Council some time ago, Nagumo was standing at the head of the second-year students' line, smiling and clapping.
It seemed like they were giving them face.
So, did they lose?
We did lose.
However, Nagumo was probably worried that he would be fired by Sakayanagi, so he tried his best to dispel this terrible idea from Sakayanagi.
Because he knew it very well.
It's very difficult to become the most outstanding Student Council President in history, like Manabu Horikita, who was absolutely fair and impartial.
Others will definitely use their authority to fire anyone who makes them unhappy.
So he was in immediate danger.
Either accumulate 20 million points to avoid being expelled, or... befriend Sakayanagi and try to salvage the situation to avoid being expelled.
Thinking about this, Hachiman actually found it quite funny.
Because Nagumo deliberately said those things to him before to annoy Hachiman, but now, Nagumo is tasting the bitter fruit himself.
And.
To prepare for the worst-case scenario, Nagumo would have to work even harder to amass wealth.
The 20 million spent on consecutive Forestry Exam, plus the millions of points paid to bribe Ryuen, left Nagumo with almost no points left.
So if he wants to collect 20 million points, the only way, besides squeezing the second-year students, is to continue to extract points from the school through Special Exam.
The more he does this, the more likely he is to be fired.
Because.
Second-year students have lost their value in class rivalry.
The school wanted to cultivate class rivalry, and Nagumo directly divided up the exams. All four classes were under his control, and he could conduct the exams however he wanted, without the others having to think.
Nagumo was undoubtedly very strong, but after one exam after another, the school only produced one final product from Nagumo.
Therefore, Nagumo continued to serve as the representative of the second year and continued to use the term "second year".
So.
Ultimately, the only outcome awaiting him was expulsion.
And that time shouldn't be too far off.
And at school.
"This time, Senior Nagumo really had a tough time," Banliu said.
Nagumo specially assigned people to train the students in their class and even offered suggestions.
After all, he was an upperclassman, and he played a very good role in many ways. So it's true that Nagumo was helpful.
"Not at all," Miyabi Nagumo said. "I also really hope that Banliu-kun can keep winning."
"Kamuro." As soon as Nagumo left, Itayagi immediately summoned Masumi Kamuro. "Have you made contact with the second-year students?"
"Here is the information you requested. It's about the students in Second Year Class B, the same class as the former Student Council Vice President, Kiriyama. Some of them are interested in campaigning for us."
Kamuro said, "The second-year students aren't too happy with Nagumo right now. In the past two months, Nagumo has taken too many points from them, and in addition, Nagumo lost his Student Council membership. That's why some students in Second Year Class B switched sides so easily. So, should we just let them riot and overthrow Miyabi Nagumo's tyranny?"
"Give him some time first," Banliu said. "Also, don't trust Second Year Class B too much. This class was originally Class A, but the number of students in the class has decreased significantly. It seems that those who dared to resist and were troublemakers have been dealt with."
"So right now they've only agreed to campaign for us, they haven't said they'd switch sides with us."
"Perhaps it's just a pawn that Nagumo is using to test the waters," Sakayanagi said.
"So we don't need to deal with Nagumo then?" Kamuro, somewhat puzzled.
Because Hachiman Hikigaya wanted Sakayanagi to fire Nagumo after becoming Student Council President.
"I'll handle it," Sakayanagi said. "But we have to wait until Miyabi Nagumo finishes training our class of students, and until he's extracted enough points from the second-year students."
"This semester is coming to an end, and I can't end it empty-handed."
Is that so?
You've mistaken Nagumo for a sheep.
As Kamuro was thinking this, he heard Sakayanagi calmly add, "We must make the most of waste."
So, in your eyes, Nagumo is still trash?

Horikita's brother was just there to give a reminder, and Hachiman wasn't paying attention to Nagumo.
He also had a plan in place for the upcoming Commander Exam with Sakayanagi. Even if Nagumo provided assistance to Sakayanagi Class, it wouldn't affect the exam results.
However, Hachiman remembered that Horikita seemed to be more like a stay-at-home husband than he was.
So I thought about it.
The weather is very changeable these days, so a qualified stay-at-home husband needs to be prepared.
So.
"Where did you buy your scarf?" Hachiman asked.
"Mine?"
"Yes. It's a dark red style for girls," Hachiman said. "I have no taste in things, but the scarf you're wearing now is quite nice."
It looks good on her.
"..." Horikita.
Although Hachiman Hikigaya's question seemed a bit off, as if he wanted to buy a scarf similar to hers, after a little thought, it was probably someone he wanted to buy the scarf for.
Horikita is a rather unique person. Although she doesn't think so herself, she doesn't mind others using the same things as her.
And.
She had gone grocery shopping with Hachiman Hikigaya many times and experienced firsthand his complete lack of taste.
So Horikita decided to tell him the location of the Shopping Street before asking if he could help him take a look.
After all, some time has already passed since we waited for him to come out together today, and spending more time going out with him would interfere with my daily study time.
In this way.
After delivering the two large bags of supplies back to the dormitory, Hachiman returned and went to the Shopping Street.
Then.
The next day, an hour before he was supposed to get up early for school and have breakfast, Hachiman arrived at the lobby on the first floor.
This is the public hall, and also where every student has their mailbox.
The facilities for second-year students are the same as those for first-year students, so Hachiman quickly located the students' private mailbox area.
They quickly found a private email address labeled [Kikyo Kushida].
However, when I opened the mailbox, several letters fell out.
The envelopes were covered in bright colors.
Clearly, this is a letter expressing love or affection.
Kushida is like a little angel, and her popularity soared after Hirata lost his luster.
Therefore, it has received more attention.
Normally it would only be one love letter occasionally, but now it's two or three a day.
