On the fifteenth day, Class C did not put up a new options board.
Ryuuen had pinned that record sheet beneath the whiteboard.
The blank space for the first segment of independent preparation remained uncleared.
Ishizaki moved it into today's losses column, but did not start recording again.
"Not betting on windows today?" Gu Heng asked.
"Betting on people," Ryuuen answered in front of the whiteboard.

"What do you guarantee, who bears the responsibility, and who is accountable if there's a deviation?"
