Return Journey: The Notorious Volume 16 Exam Is About to Begin! (Continued)

After doing that, Hachiman put down his phone.

"Hachiman seems quite troubled." At that moment, a girl with silver hair and very fair skin was looking at him curiously.

Um.

This student is the class beauty of Second Year Class D, Hiyori Shiina.

"Something came up," Hachiman said.

The Ryuen's class is currently having a class reunion.

But Hachiman had a subtle feeling in his heart.

Because.

Ah.

So is he being pursued by a fanatical stalker?

And it doesn't seem like he has an excessive sense of self; even if he took it as true, it wouldn't be a problem.

"Shiina." Just then, two students from Class D walked over. "Ryuen wants to see you."

"Hmm." It's an old habit at Ryuen; after the exams, they always do a review and consolidation.

This time, the original plan was to give all the students in the class with Academic Ability difficulties extra points as a lifeline, and even make a million or two million, but the result was a loss of 500,000.

Then.

Hiyori went to report the situation.

The reason I stayed here just now was Hiyori I noticed that Hachiman looked like he'd just been won over.

Hachiman President Sakayanagi or Horikita, and sometimes he can be seen interacting with Ichinose or Kushida. Occasionally, he can also be seen having meals with Karuizawa.

However, no one was found to be biased towards him.

So who is so brave?

On the other side...

The exams were over, and the people on both sides, who had been busy all morning, were taking a break.

On one side is Class A, First Year, and on the other side is Second-year Class A.

However, the Class Representative of Second Year Class A met with the new representative of Class A 1A.

"As students of Class A, you have done very well," said President Sakayanagi. "However, having two Class representative in one class is not a good thing. In other words, having two Class representative means that you cannot speak with one voice, and this will definitely cause some problems in the Special Exam in the future."

"I know," Yukino Yukinoshita replied directly. "I will resign."

"Do you feel unhappy?"

Sakayanagi asked Yukino. Because Yukino was the one previously chosen as the Class representative.

It was abolished after only two months.

"Won't."

Yukino said calmly, "Amasawa has more ability than me. I think it would be more appropriate for her to lead the class."

"Then you are truly an honest person," said Sakayanagi-senpai.

"Then I don't need to stay here any longer, right?" Yukino said.

"Yes." Sakayanagi nodded.

"Farewell." Yukino nodded politely, then left like a lone wolf.

Sakayanagi-senpai watched her retreating figure.

However, he had already analyzed Yukino's actions in his mind.

In other words, Yukino Yukinoshita actually has a strong desire to graduate from Class A.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have stepped down so easily; Amaza must have made some kind of promise to her.

Sakayanagi-senpai thought to herself.

But.

"You came here to meet your senior, but Ichika Amasawa, you've been touching your phone the whole time."

Sakayanagi-senpai, however, was somewhat dissatisfied.

Although Yukino Yukinoshita is as aloof as a cold flower, she has always been very well-mannered and has shown her enough respect.

But the junior in front of her didn't seem to take her seriously.

She was supposed to be a new Class representative to meet her senior from Second-year Class A, but she had been playing on her phone the whole time.

"I was doing something important," Ichika Amasawa said. "And now that it's finished, I can finally relax."

Ichika Amasawa, then put down her phone as well.

"The reason President Sakayanagi called me here is probably because she wants to promote me," said Ichika Amasawa.

She changed her address for Sakayanagi from "Sakayanagi-senpai" to "President Sakayanagi".

In other words, she now identifies herself as a member of the Student Council, and she is indeed a member of the Student Council, serving as Disciplinary Committee Member.

The price paid for the deal with Yukino.

But.

Sakayanagi realized that this guy didn't seem to respect him much.

She knew from Hachiman that this guy was White Room student, and might even be a genius who could rival her. Then she too became a free agent, so aside from this school being a place to stay, she had nowhere else to go after graduation.

So she rarely thought of attracting customers.

But this guy doesn't seem to be on her wavelength.

It's not Kamuro, who is unruly and easy to train.

Instead, it's this Ichika Amasawa, who is naturally proud and simply ignores you.

President Sakayanagi thought to herself. However, she decided to give Hachiman some face.

"Vice President Hachiman put in a good word for you," President Sakayanagi said. "And you've become the new Class representative for Class A. Don't you think it would be inappropriate for Yukino to continue as the Student Council secretary?"

"After all, you're just a Disciplinary Committee Member right now," Sakayanagi said.

"So you chose to keep Yukino's position, and then promoted me to another secretary or accountant in the Student Council?" Ichika Amasawa said.

"..." Sakayanagi.

He pursed his lips.

Dissatisfied.

Because.

This guy steals people's words.

A normal person would understand that Yukino has a higher status, and as the Class representative, she cannot lose to her, so removing Yukino position is the best option.

Alternatively, they could apply to switch their positions, making Amaza the secretary and Yukino the Disciplinary Committee Member.

Then, if Sakayanagi uses both kindness and severity, he can close the distance between himself and Amaza.

However, Amaza guessed her thoughts directly. He only promoted Amaza, without removing Yukino her position.

Is this the White Room student?

But.

"I've promoted you to secretary of the Student Council," Sakayanagi said. "As a recognition of your abilities."

"Then I'll arrange for you to follow me around. Yukino will be assigned to follow Vice President Hachiman."

"There are some tasks that require your assistance," President Sakayanagi said.

However.

"I see..."

Sakayanagi could see that Ichika Amasawa's expression seemed somewhat disappointed.

Is it dissatisfaction with having to be with her for a long time?

But please bear with your dissatisfaction.

President Sakayanagi's mood improved somewhat after that.

The Treasure Hunt Game exam is over.

The teachers gathered again on the lower level of the ship.

However, at this time, the number of teachers here reached 10.

"The exam on the ship is finally over."

Some teachers breathed a sigh of relief.

Actually, there are teachers for all three grades here.

Then, not being stupid, they discovered that the students in their grade had made some progress in this exam.

"Speaking of which, Teacher Takahashi, you seem to be in a good mood," said a second-year teacher.

Teacher Takahashi was the teacher of Third-year Class A. Third-year Class A had climbed up from Class B in the first year under the guidance of Nagumo, and had never fallen back down since.

It is one of the few classes in this school that has successfully turned a corner.

However, after Nagumo was expelled by the former Student Council President, the students of Third-year Class A seemed to become very uneasy.

This mood also affected their teachers, so Teacher Takahashi was often seen in a bad mood.

Surprisingly, I'm in a pretty good mood now.

"Um."

"I never expected that they would choose a path that leads to success," Takahashi said.

"At first, I thought the class would definitely drop out."

"But not anymore."

Is that so?

The teachers knew that the reason there was funding for this exam was because Acting Chairman Tsukishiro had sold several Class Advancement spots on behalf of the board, and one of those spots was taken by Third-year Class A.

It seems that the entire class pooled their resources to buy a student from Third-year Class B.

And then this exam.

The Chairman Tsukishiro prepared 10.5 million, and the students contributed over 6 million themselves. The total prize pool for the Treasure Hunt Game was 16 million.

Although nearly 1.6 million points remained unclaimed, the students had already won a victory.

Moreover, they also engaged in private transactions.

As a result, several classes achieved great success in this exam, one of which was Third-year Class A.

The newly recruited students have demonstrated their exceptional talents.

That's probably why Teacher Takahashi is in such a good mood.

Only.

If the students in your class aren't very good, then buy a reliable one.

This is also a possible solution.

"If there's nothing else to discuss, I'll take my leave now," Chabashira said.

She came here, had a beer, and then turned to leave.

Sae Chabashira.

A young, single female teacher.
