The Unanimous Special Exam Begins!

June 5th.

All the students returned to Advanced Nurturing High School after their two-week luxury cruise vacation.

Then, because I returned to school on Friday, I ended up enjoying two extra days of holiday for nothing.

But today is a day when I have to go to the classroom to study as usual.

Only.

"Oh, it's been so long since I've had class, I actually miss it a bit."

"I always felt overwhelmed when I saw a book before."

"Me too. I've occasionally thought that studying is quite nice."

"And."

One student paused for a moment, then chuckled, "It makes me feel very safe."

Yes.

I feel very at ease.

Since there are no Special Exam this month, according to the rules of the last Uninhabited Island Exam, it's a two-month consecutive exam.

Then on the 1st, all the students received their living expenses from the school.

Even Hachiman received 82,500 Private Points.

Of course, this is just what I received.

Half an hour later, Hachiman's bill was updated.

I obtained 1.2 million Private Points from Second-year Class A, 200,000 Private Points from Ichinose's class, and then... I got another 887,200 Private Points from my own Second Year Class D.

This means that Hachiman can earn 2.28 million Private Points every month without doing anything.

This really puts me in a great mood.

Hachiman has now come out of the dormitory and is heading towards the teaching building.

Just as I was passing by a small platform with steps, someone suddenly called out to me.

To be precise, the other person didn't say anything, just stood there quietly, while the surrounding students subconsciously avoided them.

A flower on a high mountain.

When Hachiman looked at the other person, these four words came to mind.

Hachiman only knows two people who can be addressed in this way.

One of them is Horikita, and the other is Yukino Yukinoshita.

Both of them are extremely good-looking, and they also act quite aloof.

However, Horikita has already gone to the classroom, so the only person who can be here now is Yukino Yukinoshita.

Although he called her "junior," Hachiman realized that she must have already studied the first-year material, because Hachiman had seen her borrowing second-year textbooks from the library several times.

Suzune Horikita is a bookworm who is obsessed with studying, but she is so focused on her studies that she doesn't feel it's all for nothing, even though she spends a lot of time on them.

She borrowed books from older students because she had already self-studied the material that required her to attend classes, thus allowing her to advance her learning pace.

As for Yukino, a first-year student, she is currently borrowing books for second-year students.

However, Hachiman doesn't believe that Yukino Yukinoshita is someone who is solely focused on studying.

The reason was that he often saw her reading books related to cats.

It's possible that the book's title is related to cats, or that the content of the book is related to cats.

She even borrowed all the cat-related comic books.

He is a true Cat slave.

So, the reason she's learning second-grade material... is probably not because Horikita has reached a certain level in her studies and needs to borrow textbooks that haven't been distributed yet.

In other words, Yukino actually... has some problems?

However, Hachiman has seen many problem children and is now quite emotionally stable.

Rather, it's only when the other party has absolutely no problems that people find it difficult to use.

Now, Yukino Yukinoshita, stands on the steps with her backpack slung over her shoulder. A gentle breeze blows by, making it impossible to take one's eyes off her.

Hachiman felt that the other person was probably waiting for him.

Because aside from restaurants and Shopping Street, this is the place where students from different grades might meet.

The classrooms for the three grades are in separate, independent buildings, but the platform is shared.

"That--"

Watching Hachiman Hikigaya walk up the steps below, Yukino tried to speak.

"Today," Hachiman said proactively, "It's just a normal Student Council activity."

"I will go to the Student Council office at noon."

"I will now guide you in your work," Vice President Hachiman said mercilessly.

It's like being interrupted.

However, Yukino nodded.

"Good."

So she turned and headed straight to the east, while Hachiman went to the west.

Head to your teaching building.

This sense of separation and disconnect gave Hachiman a strange feeling, a feeling that Yukino shouldn't be his junior.

They had only taken two steps away.

"Hachiman Hikigaya."

He was greeted by someone.

As soon as Hachiman turned around upon hearing the voice, he felt a chill run down his spine.

Because the two girls who appeared below the steps were first-year students.

One of them had golden hair and a very sunny disposition; she was Nanase in First-year Class D.

However, the other junior who came with Nanase was a real challenge.

Because.

The other party is one of Hachiman's contract partners, Ichika Amasawa.

The current Class representative of Class A, First Year, and also... a former White Room student, possessing genius talent.

They are extremely strong in intelligence, basic knowledge and skills, and even emotional intelligence.

On his first night back from the ship, Hachiman was about to rest, the other party showed up at his door.

Then.

Hachiman fulfilled his promise to her on the island.

He signed the agreement with her.

If Ichika Amasawa hasn't changed his mind by the time he graduates, then they'll agree to marry. She, in turn, will be responsible for earning money to support them in the future.

Actually, Hachiman initially decided to make his choice when Ichika Amasawa graduated.

In other words, Ichika Amasawa has more time to consider.

But Amaza refused.

According to her, before her, there was Kushida-senpai who had signed a contract with him.

The contract with Kushida-senpai will definitely take effect when Hachiman graduates.

So if she chooses to marry Kushida after graduating from Hachiman, wouldn't she have to marry a divorced man to fulfill her contract?

She refused.

This statement even made Hachiman feel a little embarrassed.

Because he never considered that divorce might be an option after marriage. If divorce is possible after marriage, then such a marriage is better off not existing.

But he also understood what Ichika Amasawa meant.

I hope to start on the same footing as Kushida and have the same opportunity to be chosen.

But.

She didn't know.

In fact, not only did Hachiman sign an agreement, but Kushida and Ichinose also signed a marriage registration form with Hachiman.

If you've confirmed your feelings for each other after graduation, you can directly take the marriage registration form to the ward office to register.

But.

Hachiman did not have Ichika Amasawa sign the agreement.

Ichika Amasawa's performance was outstanding, and Hachiman had no doubt that she was capable of supporting him and even living a very comfortable life.

Therefore, in theory, giving her the marriage registration form is a very reliable option.

But.

I also felt somewhat uneasy.

Because if the marriage registration form is submitted in advance, it will still be valid.

Therefore, there is a possibility that the game might be leaked without permission.

Although his goal is to be supported by someone in the future, he is content to be a stay-at-home husband.

However, if the other party is too proactive, it can also feel like pressure.

Therefore, he did not sign the marriage registration form with his Ichika Amasawa.

Another reason is that Hachiman discovered that although Kushida had been tricked out of a lot of information by Amaza, he was actually able to keep some things to himself, which is quite impressive.

Good morning.

"This is quite an unexpected combination," Hachiman Hikigaya said seriously after being greeted.

He noticed that although he appeared with Nanase, Amaza did not greet him first.

In other words, Amaza probably doesn't want to actively reveal their close relationship in their daily lives.

"I ran into Amasawa in the elevator," said the honest Nanase.

"Are you sure it was just a coincidence?" However, Ichika Amasawa immediately saw through Nanase Tsubasa's explanation. "I went to find you on purpose."

"And you agreed to it."

Ichika Amasawa said, "After all, I am a student in Class A now, but according to the information I have, the Class A status of the second and third year students is not stable, and they have all fallen down."

"And I don't want to have that experience."

"Therefore, ensuring stability and maintaining a leading position is quite necessary," Ichika Amasawa said. "Then, wouldn't acquiring an ally be a good solution?"

"So."

"Nanase- san, admit it, we've already formed an alliance," Ichika Amasawa said.

"Amasawa." Nanase seemed to be somewhat resistant to the alliance.

Because of the current situation, after Hōsen was removed from the class, the class atmosphere and cohesion have improved, and even the five high-achieving students who had previously chosen to leave have stayed.

So.

She still wants to develop her career independently.

However.

"But your class currently has a score of 0 in the class evaluation. If you don't do something to earn some points, you won't have any living expenses."
