A New Special Exam: Cross-Year Battle Royale! 7k

The good-natured Ragdoll cat, who loves playing with people, immediately responded to her.

In that instant, the black-haired girl seemed to feel boundless happiness and joy.

Then.

She didn't even realize someone had walked up behind her.

"What are you doing?"

And now, Hachiman is standing behind her.

This was the first time he had ever seen someone actually speak to a cat in Meow language.

He paused for a few seconds, but the other party didn't respond, so Hachiman repeated himself.

"Seriously, what are you doing to my cat?"

P. S.: I've started a new chapter, please give me some razor blades, the free kind will do.

Chapter 002 A New Special Exam: A Battle Between Higher Grades! (7k)

A person can talk to a cat.

This scene might look cute if a pretty girl did it, but... it's actually quite embarrassing.

Because of the language barrier, most people wouldn't do that.

And it even uses Meow language.

So.

Putting himself in that situation and being witnessed by someone, Hachiman would only have one word on his mind. "Social death."

The black-haired girl remained silent and showed no sign of panic.

Instead, she stood up, still with her back to him, her tone remarkably calm, "What? What are you doing?"

There was no sign that he had been caught doing anything strange.

That composure is almost excessive.

If we're talking purely about acting skills, then he's on par with Kushida.

However, Hachiman confirmed at the opening ceremony that this girl should be a Class A, First Year.

It's good to get a taste of these excellent chives beforehand.

Thinking this way.

"If I'm not mistaken, you were just talking to my Ragdoll cat, right? Talking to the cat, right? You were talking to the cat, right?"

The rather excessive Hachiman then explained the meaning behind the black-haired girl's actions three times in a row.

A person talking to a cat.

Isn't this a joke?

You'll be laughed at.

But she didn't laugh. Instead, she turned around, her face utterly calm, unusually calm. "Compared to this..."

Well, compared to this, the aspect of talking to the cat is downplayed.

"I saw you on the stage during the opening ceremony. Are you a member of the Student Council?"

"There were only a few Student Council members at the school's opening ceremony. Is it because there aren't enough Student Council members, or because the school doesn't care about the new students? Neither the teachers from the classes nor the principal were present."

"Either the school administration doesn't value the new students, or they made a mistake, or perhaps this school is different from others."

The girl's voice wasn't the sweet, childhood sweetheart kind; instead, it was a steady voice with an unusual magnetic quality.

She was clearly going to be laughed at, yet she was able to bring up the topic without hesitation and analyze it with a serious expression, her eyes showing a very earnest look.

It makes people feel as if they are subconsciously compelled to listen attentively to what she has to say.

However, Hachiman someone who could get along with Kushida, who was good at perceiving and maintaining the atmosphere. He immediately understood that this black-haired girl was not only changing the subject but also trying to intimidate the other party so that they would not dare to mention or forget about her conversation with the cat.

That's a good method!

Moreover, although the reason was chosen arbitrarily, there were still things that caught her attention; she had noticed something odd about the school.

If you give her more time, she will probably discover more.

Hachiman thought it was reasonable for the other person to be a student from Class A.

"I am Hachiman Hikigaya Second Year Class B," Hachiman said. "Your attitude seems to lack respect for your second-year senior. As your senior, let me teach you a lesson."

Attend class?

The black-haired girl stared at him.

"Junior, is there anyone else in this world you care about?"

"What's the meaning?"

"It's about having your shameful side exposed, and not feeling ashamed at all," Hachiman said.

"Hehe..." The black-haired girl seemed to smile slightly. "Class A, First Year, Yukino Yukino."

She introduced herself.

"I don't think I did anything impolite."

"Also, I don't know you."

As she said this, Yukino Yukinoshita seemed about to leave, feeling bored.

"Meow!"

At that moment, Hachiman's Ragdoll cat meowed.

Yukino Yukinoshita's body seemed to pause for a moment.

This person is probably Cat slave.

Hachiman immediately determined the other party's composition.

But.

It was a rare opportunity to connect with a student in Class A, First Year. At the same time, Hachiman believed that if the student continued to think and explore, he could potentially become the leader of her Class A, First Year.

If you can communicate with the leader, everything will be easier in the future.

So.

"Are you sure you want to leave like this?" Hachiman asked.

"I don't think there's any need to stay," said Yukino Yukinoshita.

"Is that so? There's no need for that. But I just recorded you meowing at my cat," Hachiman said.

"..." Yukino. "So what? It's just a voice..."

"It's just that my voice isn't very good. But how about this..." Hachiman said.

Then he took out his phone, which had a video recording function. He installed a video processor, edited and processed the video, and the final product was a cute music video.

These words made Yukino Yukinoshita stare at him for several inexplicable moments.

Because she doesn't have any friends, she's not very good with mobile phones, but that doesn't mean she doesn't know what a video is. She's quite knowledgeable about computers, so she immediately realized that the video Hachiman clicked on was actually a composite.

And it's about her.

It's her video!

It's a video of her talking to her cat.

If it were just a recording, that would be one thing, but repeating her meows like "Meow X1, Meow X2, Meow X3, Meow X4... Meow X5..." into a tune is really going too far.

Not only hers, but also the meows of a cute, fluffy, blue-eyed Ragdoll cat. Did this guy record the scene just now and then compose it into a meow chorus?

One can imagine that if this video were released, then she probably... really has no one she cares about in this school?

"You're truly despicable," Yukino Yukino said. "So, what are you going to do now? Or rather, what do you intend to do?"

Thus, the girl named Yukino was forced into a disadvantageous position.

"Let's exchange contact information first," Hachiman said. "If you can become the Class representative in your class, then you'll be useful to me."

"And if you can't do that, then even if you're willing to help now, you're useless."

"..." Yukino.

So this school really has a problem.

Again, the school administration didn't show up, and all we saw were students. Moreover, the Student Council President's behavior was also strange; he only said less than five sentences during the opening ceremony before it was over.

He seemed quite nonchalant.

However, this is a prestigious institution that all students aspire to attend, and it is funded by the government, so it should not behave in this way.

So... was it intentional?

Is it because this school is different from others?

Tuition fees will be waived, and each student will have 100,000 points on their student ID card on their mobile phone.

According to the homeroom teacher, these points can be used as money for consumption, with 1 Private Points equal to 1 yen.

Even if you run out of points, it's okay, because the school will add Private Points to everyone's student ID on the 1st of each month.

But.

Yukino did the math herself.

If one student earns 100,000 points a month, then 40 students would earn 4 million points.

If a grade has 4 classes and 160 students, then the expenditure would be 16 million.

Keep in mind, this is only a first-year student; there are also second- and third-year students in the school.

Therefore, the school takes away nearly 50 million yuan in cash from the treasury every month.

This kind of thing.

Will it be allowed?

And... do these ordinary students really deserve to earn so many points?

Feeling something was amiss, she decided to go to the Shopping Street.

I think that I can see older students in these public areas and observe them through their words and actions.

Then I became fascinated by Hachiman's cat.

"..."

So, sister, what exactly did you send her here for?

Although somewhat reluctant, Yukino simply added Hachiman's contact information.

After all.

Although she probably doesn't know anyone at this school, if this video gets out, she'll probably be Social death.

Although I don't care about my classmates, if someone with ulterior motives spreads this outside of school, to my older sister or someone else...

Yukino couldn't bear to imagine that scene.

"Once you become friends, you can find each other via GPS," Hachiman said.

"Snort."

Yukino Yukinoshita seemed about to turn away indifferently.

But.

"This is a rare opportunity, would you like to play with the cat?" Hachiman said. "I just brought it out to keep watch, it's overweight and needs more exercise every day."

"..." Yukino.
