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

“Isshiki-san, you’ve heard a lot of things, right? Now that you know so much, there’s no way I can let you live in peace.”

However, at this time, Tsubaki Sakurako had already thrown away the lollipop.

Look at Isshiki Iroha.

“Our goal is to graduate as Class A, and Isshiki-san, you will join and help us, right?” As a junior human observer, Tsubaki knows how to manipulate people’s hearts.

Utomiya also looked over at this time.

Oh my god!

(～￣(OO)￣)ブ Eyes so big!

Isshiki originally thought that all her classmates had given up, so there was nothing strange about her staying there waiting for the exam results to be announced.

Because her relationship with these two people was very ordinary and had almost no contact.

So it was normal that Utomiya notified other students to give up without notifying her.

Or, it is possible that Utomiya would think highly of her since she got 10th place.

So leave her alone.

’Oh my god! Are you two actually this type of people? Telling me a secret on purpose and then bringing into your camp. Goal is to move up from Class C to Class A. This kind of thing is difficult, okay?!’ Isshiki Iroha felt like she was being cheated.

“By the way, Isshiki-san, you worked so hard on this exam. Are you trying to prove yourself?” Tsubaki folded her arms and looked at her with dead eyes, “I have seen you and Ichika Amasawa from Class A acting together more than once. Have you found external help? And then finished 10th. Actually, you just want to reintegrate into the class. If you want to do this, I will allow you to join our group. Or if you have any preference you like, we will help you join.”

Is that so? There is such a good thing.

If she had the help of class representative, indeed become stable.

Or say. Hello. Now relationship has been established!

Because Hikigaya-senpai said this is a place where strength is paramount, so Isshiki is respected, Utomiya and Tsubaki Sakurako are class representatives.

Wouldn’t that mean you would just join the strongest team in class?

“Besides, you should have noticed that the number of seniors is not right. The dropout rate is quite high. So, there must be a lot of exams related to dropping out of school, and you may even encounter unreasonable exams. If a situation arises where the entire class votes for an [Unwanted Person], who do you think will be able to protect you other than us?”

“• ? •” Isshiki.

This is what Hikigaya-senpai meant when he said, if you can stick together, then clutch on thighs!

Because if there really is such an unreasonable exam, considering that she has a bad relationship with 37 students in class, it should be said that she will definitely be expelled!

“And we can then take action and force student who spoke ill of you to drop out of school.”

’This girl! How can you spat venom when you are eating Lollipop?’ Isshiki thought that it would be nice if she had a cell phone in her hand at this moment.

Then maybe recording what Tsubaki Sakurako said could help us gain some leverage.

Because, this means abandoning classmates without hesitation.

But she was not a complete newbie.

She knew that except for class of Ichinose-senpai, which was full, all other classes had sufficiencies.

The number of third graders is pitifully small.

Or maybe Isshiki noticed this at beginning, and thought that Ichinose-senpai’s class must be very united, and everyone has a good relationship with each other.

That’s why Isshiki simply abandoned her own stupid class and approached Ichinose-senpai to hold on to.

Isshiki was a little confused, “Do you think I was wronged by Shinobu?”

“I’m not sure. But my first impression was that she was a troublemaker. As for this kind of girl, it is undoubtedly a good idea to let her continue to be arrogant. Then you can use her as a backup for expulsion. And if she is wrong and what she says is right, and you are a bitch, then you will be expelled. So in the end, either you will be expelled or she will be.”

’In other words, when enrolling, has this student actually considered a plan for dealing with the withdrawal exam in future? Horrible, this woman is so horrible!’ Isshiki Iroha was convinced.

Although she thinks she is cute and a little smart, still feels a little young now.

“So what do you want me to do?!” Isshiki said immediately to save her own face.

“You have a good relationship with Ichinose-senpai from Class 2-B, and you also got to know Hikigaya-senpai from Class 2-D during this exam, right?”

’Forehead. What kind of camera are you? Why do you know all my information?’ But Isshiki remained calm, she endured, and continued to listen.

Because Tsubaki-san is still talking.

“I hope you can maintain the relationship. They are both members of student council. And President Sakayanagi once offered a price to 3rd-year seniors: joining requires 1 million yen, or her approval. And now there are two students joining the first-year Class A. If our class wants to be promoted, someone must join the Student Council. But we have, even owe Class 2-D a sum of 2 million. So, you should get along well, and who knows get our debt pardoned or increase payback time?”

’In other words, neither do you want to pay 2 million back, nor even want to give 1 million for joining student council, and you want to do it for free, right?! Eh, So stingy!’

Isshiki, however, felt that it wouldn’t be a bad thing to get in touch with Hikigaya-senpai for a while.

Mr. Mashima, homeroom teacher of Class 2-A, was already standing on the platform again, holding a megaphone.

The chief examiner of this exam, Acting Chairman Tsukishiro, can be seen standing on the side with a warm smile.

But, Mashima-sensei’s voice was as steady as ever.

“Now, let’s announce results of this special exam. Everyone can just stay where you are and relax. The exam is over.”

“First of all, we have seen your efforts in the 14-day assessment on the uninhabited island, and we are very happy that there are still so many students who have persisted.”

“I hope everyone can have a deeper understanding of themselves, their strengths and weaknesses, and learn something from them.”

”And now. Announcing the results.”

Everyone looked at outstanding head teacher of Class 2A.

The students in 2-A were excellent and they automatically formed two teams.

Unlike last year, this year President Sakayanagi took lead.

In 2nd-year Class B, Ichinose and Kanzaki are also at top of the list.

But two of them could only smile.

Obviously, from second-year D class area, watching the scores calculated by Hikigaya, they knew about losing a good opportunity....again

Ryuen’s class has found a treasure.

But, Ichinose didn’t get anything in this exam, and even... had to fail class.

So there must be something wrong with her mood.

In Class D, except for Komiya, all 38 people are present.

“I didn’t feel it before, but Hikigaya going to Class D. It might be a big loss to us....”

Because Class D and C are very close, or in other words, students of Class C are next door.

Hachiman stood in the D-class team, and some of the C-class students finally responded.

However, there are not many students left in Class C. But more than half of them are acquaintances.

Because that’s how this class is. If you give up early, then if you fail exam, you will blame each other and put the responsibility on others.

Therefore, it is very important to leave no room for gossip.

Especially when some people know that Hikigaya-kun has left, the class will become more difficult. So it is important to protect yourself.

And that’s what these sensible people left behind.

“Ryuen-kun and his team spent 20 million points to buy Hikigaya-kun over....I feel a little regretful. Because I think he is actually very important.”

Like this, someone will speak up for.

???

Kushida-chan looked over in surprise. ’Because the person speaking now is Chiaki Matsushita, didn’t you hate him very much before? What give?’

In fact, no one in Karuizawa’s group was injured, but considering Shinohara’s situation, Sato was arranged to give up and return to the ship to look after her.

So now it’s Matsushita and Kei who stayed back. Even blondie herself also looked over in surprise.

Miss Matsushita. If it was Horikita Suzune, Hirata, or even Kushida who said this, it wouldn’t seem strange.

But why do you say that, Chiaki?

Perhaps noticing many girls staring over, she felt a bit unfortunate, “Ah... um... Actually, I just saw Hikigaya-kun calculating the scores. Class D is standing up. But hasn’t Ryuen-kun always been losing before?” Matsushita is no fool. She noticed the atmosphere around her and said quickly.

Seems reasonable.

Everyone nodded.

[Hasn’t Ryuen-kun always been losing before?]

Even Ryuen heard this, but pretended not to hear because it’s true. But ordinary people still don’t understand that he lost because he met that guy Hikigaya.

Now that opponent has become a teammate, no point in losing!

However, Ryuen can understand why the other party loves money so much.

Because this kind of class is hopeless.

Ryuen thought that if he was in the next class, he would probably give up right from the start.

But Mashima-sensei continued to announce it.

“Just like you know. The first place group You will receive 400 class evaluation points, 1 million private points, and +1 dropout protection spot.

Second place

You will receive 300 class evaluation points and 500,000 private points.

Third place

You will receive 150 class evaluation points and 250,000 private points.”

“Then……” Mashima-sensei reviewed the exam rewards for everyone and made the announcement.

“Now let’s announce scores of the third place winner, Utomiya Riku. He received 150 points for the class evaluation alone. Because of Trial card, he received a total of 225 points, and 325,000 personal points!”

After Mr. Mashima’s announcement, students felt dizzy for a short time.

Then was a commotion.

“What the hell?!”

”Shouldn’t Ryuen be the third?! Why is it Utomiya!?”

Hosen found it incredible.

He looked at tablet and it clearly said that he was in second place and Ryuen was 3rd.

Utomiya was clearly behind!

There’s something wrong.

“…It’s over!” However, a cry of surprise seemed to come from the direction of Class D, Grade 2.

“Did you, Ryuen, violate the rules during the exam?” It seemed that a student was asking said boy.

Hosen’s muscles calmed down a lot after hearing this, his face became very perverted.

Suddenly understood.

’Ryuen, this bitch, must have violated the rules and was deducted points or disqualified.

He deserves it! Fuck, yeah!’
