Three Geniuses! Ichika Amasawa vs. Arisu Sakayanagi vs. Fuka Kiryuin! (Continued)

"Ah..."

Meanwhile, Isshiki saw that Hachiman Hikigaya went straight to the bookshelf that started with the letter J.

"There are only two QR codes on that bookshelf," Yise said. "I already looked for it; my QR code for 10,000 points is the one on the left."

"On the other side, a third-year student has already scanned it."

"And what I saw was that he took a picture with his phone after scanning. I don't know if he actually claimed it," Isshiki said.

As she said this, Hachiman took out his phone to scan the question she was pointing out, which had been scanned by a third-year student.

[Beep! You have used your last QR code scanning opportunity.]

[Scanned out the most challenging math Olympiad problem.]

The question immediately popped up on the tablet.

The QR code that has already been answered should not bring up the question again after scanning, so the fact that the question is still popping up now means that the senior student did not answer the question.

"..." Hachiman.

"..." Iroha Isshiki.

But.

The problem that popped up was the final, most challenging math olympiad question.

"Is it that terrifying?! Why would the question bank show something like this?!" Isshiki exclaimed.

It seems that the three problems she encountered earlier were all things she could solve on her own.

Therefore, it is still unknown whether there are any patterns in the random arrangement of the questions.

"I went to see Yukino Class A, First Year before," Hachiman said. "The information she gave me was that the harder the question, the higher the reward."

Oh.

Oh, I see.

Isshiki nodded. So, in that case...

Meanwhile, Hachiman had already taken out his phone, photographed the question, and sent it to Kanzaki and his team's problem-solving group.

Very soon.

Kanzaki: Hachiman, you've solved a difficult problem. We just solved a puzzle and got 300,000 points. So your problem might have some merit too.

It's clear that Kanzaki are very excited.

"Then I'll wait for your good news." Hachiman sent the message.

Then he looked at Isshiki.

"Hehe!" Realizing she was being watched, Isshiki struck a cute pose.

But.

"Stop 'hey'ing. Didn't you want the class evaluation score? Then go to the bookshelf that starts with 'B' now."

Hachiman is not a vengeful person.

However, he was aware that the female student in front of him had given him a card once.

"Do you want to take the class evaluation score?" However, at this moment, Iroha Isshiki seemed a little unwilling.

You were the one who just offered to give me a share of the money.

"If you don't want it, then I'll sell it to someone else at a high price," Hachiman said. "I'm sure someone will want this 10."

"No, I want it! I want it!"

Yise quickly ran over and hugged a bookshelf that started with the letter B. She noticed that there were two QR codes on the bookshelf.

"I want!"

Then he took out his tablet, as if he had made up his mind.

[Beep! The reward for this QR code has already been claimed.]

Oh, this.

"Scan the one next to it," Hachiman said.

"Oh, okay." Isshiki quickly scanned the one next to him.

Then.

A classical Chinese title popped up.

"It's something I'm not good at." Isshiki was a little troubled.

"Class A used the wrong wording, B's answer is incomplete, and D is a completely wrong option, so the answer is C," said Hachiman Hikigaya at this moment.

"Eh?"

Isshiki was taken aback. "Is Hachiman Hikigaya very good at classical Chinese?"

"This is first-year material, and I passed the test," Hachiman said.

Oh, I see.

"Then let's trust Hachiman Hikigaya!" Isshiki said. He chose answer C.

[Congratulations on your correct answer! You have received 10 points in the class evaluation. Would you like to claim them?]

Oh, this.

That's a perfect 10/10 score for the class evaluation!

Isshiki wavered for a moment.

If she had chosen points earlier, could she have also found a QR code with points?

Because it's so incredibly accurate!

At that moment, Hachiman's phone also vibrated.

Kanzaki- kun provided the answer.

Let him choose D.

[Congratulations! You answered correctly and have received 500,000 Private Points. Would you like to claim them?]

Yes.

"500,000!" Isshiki also noticed this.

"You should just stick to Advanced Nurturing High School," Hachiman said. "What did you think of Sakura just now?"

"What do you think? She seems a bit introverted, but she seems to trust the senbei quite a bit."

"And then there are some girls who lack self-confidence."

"I think it's probably due to her appearance. She looks a bit plain, which might have made her feel inferior," Isshiki said.

Oh, I see.

This is the judgment of a single color.

"..." Hachiman.

So with your level of observation skills, you can imagine how difficult it will be for you to survive in this Meritocracy school.

It's worth noting that both Kushida and Karuizawa were able to determine that Sakura was actually a super beautiful girl.

So, it must be Utsunomiya's or... Sakurako Tsubaki's idea that you, Isshiki, came to contact him.

Isshiki! You actually became someone else's dog!

"Sakurako Tsubaki is a very dangerous person," Hachiman said to Isshiki.

Then he turned and left.

"..." All colors.

Ah.

It seems like things went wrong.

Or rather...

Don't believe Sakurako Tsubaki! Hachiman Hikigaya saw right through her.

Then you definitely have to stick with reliable people.

"Wait, rice crackers!"

"Actually, they have something to say."

Iroha quickly chased after him.

Just as Isshiki deliberately acted on the ship before, the person in charge of First Year Class C was not Riku Utsunomiya; Riku Utsunomiya was at most just a henchman.

The one in control is Sakurako Tsubaki.

And Isshiki, that little rascal, also discovers that Sakurako seems to be harboring a rather mysterious secret.

Moreover, Isshiki cleverly discovered that although Sakurako Tsubaki was helping Utsunomiya advance to Class A, her goal didn't seem to be that.

She was simply using this method to turn Utsunomiya into her tool.

She has things she wants to do.

So it gave Isshiki a slightly scary feeling.

"So you're saying you're a bit of a coward?" Hachiman asked.

"Senbei, you said that this school Meritocracy. If I join a strong team in my class, I can regain my footing."

"But I've discovered that the most powerful little team in my class has a problem."

So I regretted it immediately after joining.

One of her teammates is just a tool, while the other teammate's motives are unknown, and she might even be assigned dangerous tasks at any time.

"Your intelligence... is still acceptable." Hachiman originally wanted to judge her as incompetent, but her ability to see the error of her ways and immediately choose to rebel showed that her decisiveness was still commendable.

"Let's lie low for now," Hachiman said.

Hachiman never believed what adults said.

Tsukishiro's willingness to resign the month after next must mean he has made some arrangements.

So.

Perhaps both Amaza and Yagami were just assassins arranged in the open.

Perhaps there are still people from their side among these new students.

Hachiman's money-making plan has been completed, so it should be none of his business anymore.

But this school is a place that brings hope, and he felt it was also valuable to keep its peace from being disrupted.

"So what did Sakurako Tsubaki assign you?" Hachiman asked.

"She wanted me to get close to you. And then she'd take advantage of me for free," the Iroha Isshiki said. "She wants me to join the Student Council."

Ah?

These words made Hachiman Hikigaya's eyes widen.

Because.

How could someone be so shameless as to say such a thing?

Because he himself didn't do this kind of thing well!

"I'll introduce you to Kushida was in my class before," Hachiman said.

"Hehe?"

"What does 'senbei' mean..."

"Didn't Sakurako Tsubaki arrange for you to approach me?" Hachiman Hikigaya said. "So I arranged for someone I trust to contact her through you."

Oh, this.
