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

Other side.

Shopping street, Keyaki shopping center. Outside an open-air cafe.

Hikigaya-kun wasn’t meeting any girl, but a boy.

The opponent’s presence is very low, and even OAA data appears very ordinary.

However, his strength is No.1 in this school.

“After seeing my results, no freshman will take initiative to team up with me....It should be said that at least after all upstream has been snatched up, it will be my turn.” These are sequelae that are not usually manifested.

As ceiling of white room, his result is very ordinary.

“And because of this, Tsukishiro will definitely arrange his men to not let go of this opportunity. So, anyone who approaches me and starts a conversation with me could be a dangerous signal....Having said that, if I hadn’t decided on a partner, there’s a good chance that I would have teamed up with the assassin.”

“The plan to pass the exam is 501 points, but one person can only get 500. If I team up with an assassin, although his or her level cannot drop too much due to the rules, there is still room for decline. And Chief examiner is still Tsukishiro, so unless I get full marks in all subjects and a total score of 500, I won’t be able to pass the exam. Because as long as I get 500 points, any slack from 1st-year students in my team will be considered invalid.....”

“But if you do this, you will become extremely dazzling, right?” In other words, even so, is he still pursuing a free life?

“.....” Kiyotaka again sighed heavily for sixth time, to be honest found it surprisingly comfortable to have a person he could talk about this kind of thing.

“Since you came out of the White Room, do you have any information from there?” Hachiman thought so because Tsukishiro had failed once, and this time it was impossible not to arrange for someone to come in for the new students to enroll.

Therefore, Children must be among these 160 students.

Although this exam, as Kiyotaka just said, unless he gets full marks in all subjects, no matter who he is paired with, he can be guaranteed to pass safely.

But he will shine. So, he didn’t want to team up with White Room students.

If you don’t team up with WR students, don’t have to get full marks in all subjects to get 500 points.

“I have basically mastered all the information on OAA, from gender, age, photos to their data. And I wondered several times if there was even a White Roomer inside. From what I understand, such people do not distinguish between genders. Both men and women are admitted, so we cannot start from this point. At the same time, students in White Room will be subject to strict and harsh physical control, so the obese person is unlikely to be him. Of course, it is also possible that he made sacrifices and gained weight two or three months before school entry....There are two obese people in the OAA system. They may or may not have been sent by Tsukishiro. At the same time, the academic ability of WR students is much higher than that of ordinary people, so they can get full marks in entrance examination and even control their scores at will. So, simply distinguishing between Class A and Class D is not very effective.”

“....Aren’t you very talkative today?”

“Really? I might be enjoying and looking forward to this kind of company more than I initially thought?”

“....Why are you asking me that?”

“• •” Kiyotaka....“Ahem...In other words, the more you know, the worse it is.”

“I want to really laugh at your miserable situation.”

“....Huh? Wait, that will seriously hurt my feelings!”

“Don’t try to make your voice sound excited with that kind of tone. It feels creepy.......”

“Right. But, It’s just how I naturally sound like.....”

“That’s even worse, Ayanokoji.”

“You don’t need to rub it in.....” He already knows.

“I can’t imagine you ever crying.”

“• ! •” Kiyotaka.

If he doesn’t take the initiative to attack, White Roomers will come over on his own initiative.

Therefore, person who would take the initiative to contact him would be suspicious.

At this time, will there be such a white-room student who will come directly to your door?



“Gomen nasai~ I couldn’t help but overheard seniors conversation. You seem to be good friends, and trying to help Senpai in a difficult situation!”

At this time a girl came over. When Hachiman looked, he saw a girl with twin ponytails.

Purple twin ponytails.

Gorgeous purple pupils, lovely face.

Hachiman had seen this person before. ’To be more precise, I had seen her yesterday at the opening ceremony, when she was standing in the line of girls from 1st-year class A. She’s quite interesting too. Maybe a foodie....’

It was Hachiman who noticed that she was holding a cup of mango sago milk tea in her left hand, and was carrying two bags.

The bags are transparent, and you can see two drinks in one of the bags, one of which is Komeda Coffee and the other is Uncle Milk Tea.

The other bag contained several servings of 85°C taro bread.

“Who are you?”

Hikigaya-kun, however, acted as if he was meeting other person for the first time.

While Kiyotaka maintains a depressed low-key presence.

“I’m just a peculiar junior school girl.” The other party introduced herself like this, “But I’m a good student, my academic ability is A! It seems that two seniors haven’t decided on a partner yet, right? Since you have to team up anyway, I suggest that it’s best to team up with someone you like! Hai Hai!”

Oh? Now, even Kiyotaka looked over because this junior school girl didn’t seem to stop talking.

“And I like strong people!”

“....A strong one?”

“That’s right. It’s not about being strong mentally, but being strong physically. I like people who are strong in a fight, so I hope my partner is also very capable. If it’s just words, I can’t agree with it. So, if the two seniors are interested, would you like to join my ring?”

“• ? •” Hachiman.

“• ? •” Kiyotaka.

“.....” Ichika blinked her eyes twice, as if she isn’t actually in a dream, or hallucinating. She could have sworn their actions were similar to twins!

“...Eto....To be honest, I’m actually gathering the strongest sophomores right now, and then we’ll have a fight. In the end, I’ll team up with the strongest one. hehe~”

Um. She is cute and her academic ability is ranked A.

There are probably many 2nd-year students who want to team up with her.

As a human observer, Master Hikigaya-kun decided to say something. ’Because, girl, you are not independent and special, you are actually a yandere!’

“I think we should go somewhere else....”

“You stole my words, Hikigaya.”

Both of them feel scared.

Other side.

In a store, shop was temporarily booked by people from Ryuen’s class.

They paid 100,000 points and could use it freely for 2 hours.

The first-year students were also attracted by the 200,000 bait released by Ryuen.

The cakes provided are very delicious.

If the partnership is successful, 200,000 points will be directly transferred to them, and credited to their account as soon as the contract is signed.

If you want to get the money, you have to sign an agreement.

The content of the agreement only applies to this special exam and doesn’t seem to be anything deceptive.

The account number on student ID card that Ryuen placed on the table is also very attractive.

[Name: Ryuen Kakeru

Class: Grade 2, Class D

Private points: 8,562,400]

For a first-year student who is just in the second day of school and whose account balance is being depleted due to purchasing daily necessities, this is really a lot of money!

And Ryuen pushed a few black point cards onto the table.

“This is.....” The junior student was puzzled.

“Point card. If it is a transfer by a single person, will be easy to detect whether there is any illegal operation. So anonymous point cards are the best solution. And now you can inspect the goods.”

After all, this junior only enrolled on the second day, and just now he attended an exchange meeting with senior Ichinose and gained some knowledge about this school.

So he is still a newbie and naturally cannot compare with an old fox like Ryuen.

However, he had just secretly used the OAA system on the tablet to check situation of Ryuen in front of him.

There are so many poor students.

There are only 6 students with a grade of B- or above.

It looked quite miserable, so in an exam like this which was simply a test of academic ability, he naturally had no choice but to spend money to buy a partner.

“At the same time. If you can attract a student with academic ability above C+, I can give you a referral fee of 50,000 points if you can get a C+. And if you recruit a B- student, I can give you an additional 70,000 points as a referral fee.”

“Will you really give such a generous reward?” The junior student found it a little unbelievable.

“Tsk...Please check the academic ability of the students in my class yourself. In order to avoid dropping out, I can only give up a little bit of profit. We will sign an agreement for insurance.”

So that’s it, junior felt a little relieved. But he wants to inspect the goods first.

[Ding! The credit limit on this point card is 200,000 points. Do you want to scan it?]

It seems like it can really be scanned into student ID card like a recharge!

“Today, second day, your class evaluation score has changed from 1000 to 955, and your first-year behavioral norms test will last for a month. How many points do you think your class will have left after a month? How much living expenses can you get from the school?”

This junior is a student in Class B of Grade 1.

Then during lunch break, he found out that his class evaluation score had been deducted, and just now passed by first grade blackboard and found that data had been changed again.

If it’s lunch break.

Grade 1, Class A, 982 points

Class B, 955 points

Class C, 903 points

Class D, 166 points

But it just became

Class A, 979 points

Class B, 948 points

Class C, 890 points

Class D, 0 points

That is to say, after one afternoon, his class score dropped by another 10 points.

Although, he learned about the specific assessment of behavioral norms at the exchange meeting, scores will definitely drop because he is not allowed to play with mobile phones or whisper in class, etc.

These things are very difficult.

All 40 students must do this to avoid being deducted points.

Therefore, he felt that at end of a month, class evaluation score would be at least 200 points less.

Then, living expenses will be reduced by another 20,000 points.

It’s time to think for yourself. So, it happened quickly.

Under the temptation of points, this junior immediately recruited four students with academic ability C+ and one student with academic ability B.

The 6 people reviewed the agreement together, felt there was no problem, and signed their names.

In fact, it was because this junior was a little more careful that only people in this private room were Ryuen from Class D of second year and a senior named Ishizaki.

There were six of them, facing two sophomores.

Then even if Ryuen-senpai changes his mind, they still have the advantage.

“Then, let’s match them up.”

After signing the agreement they could get 200,000 points by pairing up, Ryuen said again.

In other words, the pairing and team formation must be successful before money can be exchanged for goods.

Looking at the point card that Ryuen placed on the table.

The six first-year students looked at each other, nodded, and then followed Ryuen’s instructions and chose names of the second-year students in Class D designated by Ryuen.

Then, invitation to form a team was sent.

Very fast. The students in Grade 2 Class D agreed immediately.

“Then you can give us the point ca----”

“For you? what point card? Kuku.......” However, Ryuen laughed even more loudly, which scared the shit out of juniors, “You guys are taking a test on behavior standards, don’t you know that? If the point trading incident is reported, how many class evaluation points do you think will be left? One person will definitely lose 30 points, but the six of you will have 180. You will bring your class down 720,000 yen per month, a total of 25 million in three years. Do you think your classmates will agree that you fools have suffered such losses and will treat you fairly in the future? It’s laughable if you don’t even know that!”

Oh my god. In other words, Ryuen-senpai is not going to give a single cent?

“So, if I don’t give you money, then you won’t be breaking the rules,” Having said this, Ryuen tore up his copy of two copies of contract on the table.

In other words, if the evidence is destroyed, no one will report them.

It looks like they did not harm class in terms of rating score.

?????

The first-year student who was initially tempted finally reacted.

“Liar, liar! Ryuen-senpai is a liar?!”

“You scammed us! Give our money!”

The voices of cheated junior students could also be heard from other private rooms.

Just when six first-year students thought that Ryuen was going too far, people noticed a 2-meter-tall black mixed-race boy walking in from the door.

That’s Ryuen’s bodyguard.

Forehead! What the fuc----!
