Taking It Easy! 6k

From Class A, First Year.

He is Honami Ichinose's right-hand man.

It seems Ryuen's psychological warfare tactics have improved. Meanwhile, Hachiman probably understands why the other party became a traitor.

It seems he's not the only one who wants Class Ichinose to grow by the end of the semester.

In this way.

The time came on the 27th.

The Commander Exam has officially begun.

The day before the exam, each class submitted five projects, making a total of ten projects.

Today, the school's big screen is showing seven items randomly selected by computer; this will be the final exam.

"The leaders of each class should gather in the multimedia classroom soon."

On the day of the exam, Sae Chabashira stood on the podium and spoke.

Seemingly for the sake of fairness, the school started using computers to randomly select events at 8:00 AM, and each venue needed an hour to prepare, so the students were ordered to stay in the classrooms and wait.

Now, the command center, which acts as the head of each class, needs to be present.

In other words, Hachiman has to leave the classroom first.

The exam began, and Hachiman, as the commander, went to the multimedia classroom.

Chabashira, the teacher, didn't come to the multimedia classroom, so now the multimedia classroom is occupied by Majima-sensei from Class B, Uta Itagami-sensei- sensei from Class D, and Hoshinomiya-sensei.

These are the teachers, but as for the commander, Hachiman only saw Ichinose.

She waved in this direction.

"Looks like Sakayanagi from Class B hasn't arrived yet," Hachiman remarked.

"Sorry, I seem to have overslept." As soon as she spoke, Sakayanagi Arisu's small, slender figure, leaning on a cane, appeared at the door of the multimedia classroom.

Judging from her somewhat unresponsive state, she definitely looked like she had just woken up.

"..."

Even though it was related to the first-year final exams and whether her class could return to Class A as a perfect ending to the first year, she was still as relaxed as if she had just woken up.

That's quite a bit of leisure time.

Even Hachiman had to admire this mindset.

"It's a bit colder than usual today, so I couldn't get up," Sakayanagi said.

Hachiman also noticed that Sakayanagi was wearing a dark red scarf around her neck today.

He was very familiar with this style of scarf.

I didn't expect Sakayanagi to choose this kind of scarf.

It seems that not only Horikita likes this style, but this scarf is very popular.

Hachiman recalled accompanying Kushida last week and being criticized by him for being too straightforward and needing to change his attitude towards people.

For example, if you're on a date, even if you've waited for a while, you shouldn't say, "Why are you so slow? I've been waiting for a long time." Instead, you should politely say, "I just arrived too."

So, isn't this the kind of situation that Sakayanagi is in, where we can apply the same principles to other situations?

So.

"I just woke up too."

He responded politely.

You're kidding me!

However, at that moment, the Kazuma Sakagami teacher of Class D, who was carrying a chair, happened to hear this and immediately complained to himself.

Perhaps it's a privilege of the command tower, but in the multimedia classroom, the large display screen here is already showing the class competition events.

First, it's Class B versus Class C.

Each class submitted its five actual projects yesterday, so seven projects were selected from the five plus five projects for assessment.

And now.

Seven items have been displayed on the screen.

100-meter race

1000-meter race

Abacus Mental Arithmetic Competition

English test.

Mathematics test.

Chess competition.

Go (Weiqi).

"..." Hachiman.

"..." Sakayanagi.

Sakayanagi blinked.

Because she probably didn't expect that of the seven projects selected, five were from her class, or rather... all of them were selected.

Note this result.

"Were the exam items chosen randomly this time?" Sakayanagi Arisu asked. "I'm taking this exam very seriously and don't want anyone to interfere."

"It's random," said Majima-sensei. "I entered the project into the computer and then selected it randomly."

He also found it unbelievable, because the computer's random results showed that his class's projects accounted for 5 of them.

The five projects that the two classes put forward were definitely all beneficial to their own classes.

So Sakayanagi had a stroke of good luck right from the start.

"I can ensure the fairness of the project selection," said Majima-sensei.

I see.

Sakayanagi nodded.

Then, looking at Hachiman with some regret, he said, "In official matches, luck sometimes plays a big part."

"I have no objection," Hachiman said.

"Is there still one person missing?"

Majima-sensei glanced at his watch.

There were less than five minutes left until the official exam at 9:00. If the command center withdrew, the class might face a do-or-die situation without any support from the command center.

You will be at a significant disadvantage.

"You must be Ryuen," Ichinose said.

The commanders of the four classes had met each other before.

That was before. Yesterday, Ryuen's Class D temporarily changed its command structure, removing Ryuen Kaneda.

So the fourth commander we're waiting for now is Ryuen Kakeru.

Yes, the rules require the command tower to be set up within a specified time, but they don't say that the command tower cannot be changed. Ryuen took advantage of this loophole.

However, Ichinose and the others already knew about this yesterday, so it can't be considered a surprise victory.

Ichinose was looking at the match schedule between her Class A and Class D.

Seven events have been selected: five sports events such as relay races and rope skipping competitions, plus two written events. Although Class A cannot use the tactic of overwhelming their opponents with Academic Ability, they are not afraid of having more sports events.

Class A has many students who are good at academics or have high Physical Ability.

They've been on guard against Ryuen, so Ryuen shouldn't be able to pull any tricks. But why hasn't it arrived yet?

In such a fair match Ichinose does not want to take advantage of her opponent.

"Then please wait a moment," said Hoshinomiya-sensei.

So everyone had no choice but to wait, but the longer it dragged on, the worse it seemed to be for Class D.

Meanwhile, the homeroom teacher of Class D, Kazuma Sakagami, couldn't help but smile slightly.

Clearly, as a teacher who was popular in the class, he already knew about Ryuen's plan.

So now he looks at Ichinose with pity.

"I'm sorry, I'm late." However.

Just like when Classmate Sakayanagi came in, a girl with incredibly fair skin, giving the illusion of seeing a snow woman in winter, walked in.

When she entered, the previously confident Itagami-sensei was immediately shocked.

He probably didn't know that Ryuen wasn't the final command post either.

But others were also shocked.

For example, Ichinose who cares most about this.

Her class and Ryuen's class were rival classes.

Yesterday, Ryuen wanted to change the leader of the command center, which was a reasonable option. Ryuen was the Ryuen who received the exemption from expulsion for Class D, so naturally it should be Ryuen. Therefore, the previous arrangement to Kaneda over was just to shake her judgment.

But now, a different person has come.

Is Ryuen trying to keep that exemption from expulsion spot and then offer up her classmates as sacrifices, or does Ryuen actually have a more ingenious plan?

This made her very uneasy.

In particular, it's impossible for Ryuen to sacrifice Shiina.

"Since you're here, let's start the exam right away." However, there are also teachers who don't understand romance. Majima-sensei of Class B, said expressionlessly.

They seemed completely unsurprised that the fair-skinned girl was here.

But not everyone can be like him.

"Why--"

Ichinose looked surprised. "Why is Hiyori here?"

Hiyori.

Her full name Hiyori Shiina.

The Ichinose can call her Hiyori indicates that they have a pretty good relationship.

On this point, Hachiman can attest to it.

Shiina also told Ichinose about the agreement he offered.

However.

"Because I am your enemy," Hiyori said, her dimples slightly showing. "Right now, I'm participating in this exam as the commander."

"Or is it that, Ichinose, this change alone has already shaken you?" Hiyori asked, looking at her with a strange expression.

"The procedures for replacing the command tower are reasonable." Majima-sensei seemed to know what Ichinose wanted to ask, so he answered without wasting time. At the same time, he immediately ordered the exam to begin.

Perhaps it's strange that Class D keeps changing command towers, but if he can't even handle this situation properly, then he'll leave Honami Ichinose with a bad review when he graduates.

Certainly.

This is not something he should be responsible for.

"Then, the final Special Exam of the first semester of first grade, the Commander Exam, will officially begin!" Although Hoshinomiya-sensei felt that the situation was not good, the seven exam items had already been selected.

Judging from the exam items, Ichinose still have the advantage.
