Class C was the first to see the new version of Class D's public table.
Ryuuen did not ask who was carrying out Class D's current action.
That personal field did not appear on the public table at all.
Ishizaki placed the version page beside the observation column.
"One personal source verification has been completed."
"The current personal action is still ongoing."
"The second Class Preparation item is also waiting," Ryuuen said.
He looked at Class C's already locked preparation page.
The class's next preparation item still lacked one source verification.
The external observation column remained behind the public version.
Ishizaki wanted to move the observation column to the front.
"Class D is occupying resources."
"Following them now may be more valuable than completing our own class's preparation."
Ryuuen held down the edge of the observation column.
"Value is judgment, not order."
"Finish the preparation that has already been locked first."
Ishizaki frowned. "What if Class D's action ends by the time we're done?"
"Then that is the price Class C pays for its own ordering."
Ryuuen did not frame this missed chance as a concession from Class D.
He had the recorder open their class's preparation page.
The first item was confirmed to come from Class C's own prior arrangement.
The person responsible for the second preparation item had also left a record on the page.
They had no official school status and did not belong to Class D's public table.
After verifying the source, the recorder marked the first item as complete.
The external observation column still could not move ahead of the class's preparation.
Ishizaki wrote the loss from this immediate comparison beside it.
"Class C observation: delayed due to locked class preparation."
"Observation target: Class D public status."
"Personal fields: invisible, no inference made."
Ryuuen glanced
