Chapter 083: If Ryuuen Were the Commander, Hikigaya Would Be Nominated for Expulsion, Wouldn't He?!

Thinking this, Ryuen looked once more at Hachiman.

Hachiman showed no expression.

He was probably tacitly agreeing to join forces with Ichinose's class.

Indeed.

Ryuen's class was aiming for first place, so joining forces with Ichinose's class was inevitable. They did not necessarily have to feed points to Ichinose's class, but if his own class wanted a high score, it was essential. And the only way Ryuen's class could obtain points was from either Ichinose's class or Sakayanagi's class.

Sakayanagi was dangerous, so even if they wanted points from her, they might not get much in the end. That left Ichinose's class as their only option.

Besides.

For Ryuen's class to take first place while Sakayanagi's class came last, there were generally two approaches. One was to reduce Sakayanagi's class's chances of scoring; the other was for everyone else to score highly, leaving Sakayanagi's class with the lowest score.

The latter naturally required Ichinose's class to feed some points to Class D as well. They had to pull Class D up.

"Let's sign the contract," Ryuen said.

He had originally thought his class held the advantage, but Ichinose's class had been far too aggressive today. Their arguments were dangerous as well. If they joined forces now, they could prevent Sakayanagi's class from making a move.

So Ichinose's class really had been lucky this time. Their attack order had fallen right in the middle, and they happened to be able to influence them.

Still.

They had to take a shot.

Ryuen made his proposal, but he was not that charitable.

"We'll only feed your class around 100 points during the first half."

"Then, during the second half, you need to feed us Difficulty 3—that is, 150 points in the end," Ryuen said. "Don't think it's unfair. That's what the ten million
