COTE: A Man On A Mission || Love is War?

"Our students in Class C—" Katsuragi looked at the boy behind him.

"...you have my people's support," Takuro Morishige only thinks about how to save his kind, and Kaneda's plan was feasible to his ears.

"I support too!" his eldest children Yahiko said immediately.

"You have my support too, pls continue writing this book...." Shinobu Fukuyama, innocent boy from Arisu faction.

Because boys and girls are separated, it is almost difficult for Sakayanagi to command the boys, so for now, Katsuragi can only lead everyone.

And if they were unlucky enough to be expelled from school for the last place, then everyone would follow Boss Sakayanagi to regain their place in Class A, and even graduate from, but would be so unlucky to fail in the early stages.

This is not worth it!

....Shinobu found Kaneda from Class D's proposal, which was similar to paying protection money, acceptable.

"So what about Class B?" Kaneda was in a good mood because there was no bargaining on Class C's side.

If one class donates 4 million, and all 3 do it, then total amount will be 12 million.

Not only does he need to pay 3 million to the student who was unfortunately chosen to drop out, but then 1 million out of the 9 million will be returned to Hikigaya, and remaining 8 will be divided into 1 million for the entire class, and 1.1 for the person who was chosen to be the person in charge.

There would be 5.9 million left.

He and Shiina would split 3 million, and the remaining 2.9 would be used to repay Ryuen's debt.

It was a really good exam.

"We, the students in Class A, agree. But you have to make a written agreement. We don't want to be stabbed in the back," Kanzaki-kun didn't hesitate.

Although it feels like skipping an exam, their class also has disadvantages.

That is a replica of previous island exam.

It has been confirmed that identity of Chihiro Shiranami's team leader has been leaked.....Kanzaki really wanted to poison her, but Ichinose made a huge fussy...

She doesn't want Chihiro-chan to get fever, so it is even more impossible for her to accept that classmate in danger of being expelled.

Kanzaki had enough of Ichinose being an angel and listen to her moral speech every day, so just agree with Katsuragi to prevent more brain damage.

Then it was Class B's turn.

"We agree!" Mother Hirata was the first to speak.

He was the one who least wanted his children to drop out, so if just each person could pay 100,000 points to skip the course, that would be an acceptable option.

"Eh... 100,000 points..."

"I didn't actually have much left last month, new volume of Takagi-san came out you see...."

"I only got my living allowance this month... If you deduct $100,000, I won't be able to eat."

"....It's yen...Emi."

Um....Some people think it is very expensive.

"Come on guy's, don't be like that...we need your support..." Hirata had no choice but to persuade them.

Hachiman thought that if someone really disagreed, then Hirata might even pay for it himself.

Hikigaya-kun, however, chose better to remain quiet.

For him, plan proposed by Class D had no disadvantages.

With a unified, leaders of the 12 teams could be confirmed at once.

They will not face more dangerous situation of failing to elect a person in charge within the time limit and a large number of people dropping out.

At the same time, a person with 100,000 points can skip this exam, which is not expensive.

'I'm just a little envious. Class D can collect 12 million points at once. But this is also something that Ryuen can do....Because class points are 0. So you can deduct it at will, it's all 0 anyway. Other classes can't do this, unless they are willing to pay three or four hundred points in exchange for 12 million, and the 12 million here is not enough because Class D has no money...'

But all roads lead to Rome, and Hikigaya-kun is not just targeting first-year students.

His goal is 3rd grade.

As a human observer, Hikigaya Hachiman immediately collected nearby data.

"Hehe - so, I'm really looking forward to defeating you...."

There was friction among the seniors.

"President Horikita."

Nagumo's statement was simple.

As the only representative of the second grade, he had right.

"After all, we've never had a proper competition. And there has never been a real cross-grade battle, so why not have a try, President Horikita?"

"This is meaningless," Manabu refused in a very cold attitude, even Tachibana was glaring, "After all, class ranking is based on the evaluation scores of the same grade, so there is no point in competing with other grades."

"Don't say that," Nagumo obviously didn't want to lose his face again, "I'm really looking forward to fighting with you. So can't you give me a chance? And if you do, I will agree to let the first-year students choose the groups at will this time, and I will definitely not interfere. I just want our group to compare whose average score is higher."

After hearing what Nagumo said, Manabu actually thought about, "It seems like you are threatening me. That means you promise about giving the 1st-year students a fair chance to choose team."

"Okay, I promise you, but you have to agree to my request," Manabu pushed up his glasses, Kaneda for some reason felt inferior, "You are not allowed to involve others in this battle. In other words, you are not allowed to attack other groups or sabotage the inside. Do not involve background students into our game, Otherwise, the duel will be invalid!"

"Okay. Since president wants to be good, then let's be fair," Nagumo quickly agreed to Horikita Manabu's request, but he also added a condition.

"Hikigaya Hachiman is not allowed to join our group."

???

'Curse you! Why did you have to especially use my name like this?!' As a human with a low presence, the camera was immediately surrounded by other boys.

Some of the second-year and third-year boys are looking for

[Hikigaya Hachiman].

Want to confirm who he is.

....Hachiman felt speechless, but the current development did not really harm him.

Since he wants to get huge money from Suzune's brother, it would be easier to get his name dirty around.

So it's a good thing Nagumo went to provoke.

Although Hachiman did not have direct contact with Nagumo, who had previously deceived Ichinose's class and wanted to get tickets from her.

He didn't think Nagumo would be truly upright.

So it's probably same as the sports festival, with some shady tactics.

At the same time.

Hachiman would not remind Horikita Manabu that Nagumo would definitely cheat him, because he accepted conditions so easily, which means that he knew very well how much control over the second years.....

'He could almost command all the second years, which means that it is very feasible to let all the second years cause sabotage. This kind of team-building action is most convenient for second-year students. Judging from the class evaluation scores, they do not participate in school exams at all. Almost every special exam is planned by Nagumo, and all students are required to proceed according to the plan, and class evaluation scores and personal points awarded by the school are redistributed. Maintain the status of Class A and Class B, while giving Class C and D points to survive. So are students in these classes willing?'

They want to.

Suzune is giving him tutoring during the holidays, he also borrowed a lot of books from the library for each other.

Although, he can see Hiyori refreshing there.

However, Hachiman also noticed second-year students from Class C and D gathered in the library to study.

'If these people aim to be in Class A, then impossible for them to go there to study, because in the end, no matter how many points you get in the exam, you will be directly admitted to the university you want when you graduate from Class A. But they are studying, which means have turned this school where strength is everything into an ordinary. People are now willing to go to university based on abilities after graduation....Actually, doing so is beneficial because you certainly cannot climb up by cheating, but this school offers free tuition and living expenses, which can greatly reduce the burden on family....2nd graders accepted their fate early on. Therefore, in such a weak situation, it is very likely that Nagumo will control these people to attack other groups and classes. Taking this into consideration, Horikita Manabu chose to accept Nagumo's challenge and then restrict him. This is the situation of a Student Council President...As president, he wants to ensure fairness and justice.'

xxxx

But Hachiman felt something was not right.

'Because of this kind of conservative and compromising behavior, it stands to reason that only Horikita, whom I know, would do this. Now it seems that her brother also accepts challenge when others extend it, and then he has to consider various things. Isn't this just like his sister? As expected, people from the same family tend to stick together.'

"Ah... ow——"

Among the girls in the group near the fountain, Horikita Suzune suddenly sneezed.

She accepted Hirata's advice and tried her best to protect her classmates, that is, to put the more dangerous students into more outstanding groups.

Certainly, Suzune no longer had any interest in maintaining the class.

They encountered same situation as boys.

20 girls in Class C were directly divided into two groups of 14 and 6.

Any class is invited to participate.

Ichinose knew at a glance this was a safe plan by Class C to suppress score rewards.

But she is similar to Class C and cannot accept students in her class dropping out, her situation is also about seeking stability.

Because courses in forest school are

"Morality"

"Spiritual training"

"Rules"

"Autonomy" and so on, which makes her stupid brain confused.

She cannot be sure that students in her class will not be unlucky enough to become the last group, and person in charge will also be in their class.
