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

Although key figures from both classes were present, most of them were distracted.

Some people are always paying attention.

This is Ryuen-san.

“Our two classes will work together on this exam. Scanning code will pop up a question, and only if the answer is correct can you view reward. There aren’t many smart students in my class,” Ryuen said directly, not even hesitating to insult his own people, “So, no one can answer the question after scanning code, but there are more than 10 smart students in yours. So, I suggest that us two cooperate. I need most of your class to direct and arrange the personnel, and then gather remaining people, smart ones who can answer questions quickly.”

As he said this, he looked at Hiyori and Kaneda.

“Kaneda and Shiina from my class will also answer questions with you.”

I see. Ichinose and Kanzaki understood what Ryuen was trying to do.

According to rules of the exam, a single-player battle would be challenging and difficult, but there would be no problem if was coordinated as a class.

Like what Ryuen just proposed, both classes can send students with high brainpower to answer questions, and after solving, they can confirm the reward.

Then choose whether to receive it.

Not only is it efficient, but you can also get rewards quickly.

One person can only receive once, so the human wave tactic can be fully utilized.

And it also requires cooperation between two.

One person can only scan 4 QR codes.

If you just follow students in your class, you can scan up to 160 QR.

If you let the people who scan codes answer the questions themselves, they may not be able to answer.

So you can use Ryuen, where most people scan codes, and then a small number of smart and academically competent students are responsible for answering.

But the efficiency of a class is not high, and total number of QR codes is 425, and a class can only scan 1/3 at most.

So you may miss out on the big prizes.

“My class is not going to make money in this exam. So valuable personal and class evaluation points that are scanned can be given to you. But our entire class wants the rewards for written exam!”

Oh! Oh! Oh! Ryuen suddenly looked ferocious and unwavering when mentioned such topics, looked over with a glare.

Very serious.

Hearing this, Kanzaki-kun and even Ichinose looked towards Ryuen several times.

Previously, she had always worked together with students from Horikita’s class, and even helped to pass written exams together, but had always ignored Ryuen’s class.

There are also many students in Ryuen’s who lack academic ability.

But it seems that no one has heard them seeking help from anyone, they just fought on their own.

“.....” Ichinose felt like cooperating with Ryuen-kun’s class is more helpful than Suzune’s when it comes to benefits.

She has biasedly made opinions about Ryuen as a criminal type of person, but instead found him to be a capable guy who can lead.

“So even if the scanning solution yields 1 million private points, your class won’t want it, right?” Kanzaki asked as if confirming if he was being pardoned.

“That’s right,” Ryuen doesn’t give a shit about points, “For this exam, all the money and class evaluation scores scanned by us two will belong to your class. As for scanned personal points rewards, they range from 10,000 points to 1 million points. Our class doesn’t want any of them!”

Ryuen-san said with absolute certainty. But this is a lie.

Because students want written test scores, 50 full subjects + 5 points and 50 full subjects + 10 points.

So it is 100/425

Since Ichinose and others wanted money, they naturally aimed at private points.

However, related to personal points, there are also a lot of filler rewards such as 10,000 and 30,000 per ticket.

These are all useless.

Therefore, only 3 large 1 million point cards, 10 500,000 point cards, and 30 100,000 point cards meet their expectations.

And there are 15 photos related to class evaluation scores.

So there are only 15+3+10+30=58 cards want.

Moreover, two classes can scan a total of 316 QR code images.

You can’t choose all of them.

Therefore, in the end, Ryuen can get more of share he want.

And if you get enough, you can transfer it to other poor students.

If you transfer it, it can be worth 100,000 or 200,000 points.

It’s also a small income.

But now Hachiman himself is a student in Ryuen’s class, so he stays quiet.

In this way, Ryuen’s class wants extra points for written test, while Ichinose begins her campaign to get private points.

So, taking advantage of the little time left, began to allocate the personnel needed for exam.

Hiyori identified how many people should go to that area to search for the QR code and scan it, and then who should be assigned to answer specific questions and give solutions.

Because mobile phones are not allowed in this exam, after scanning the QR code and seeing question, you can directly take a photo with your and send it to your supervisor.

This is convenient.

Ichinose looked at Hiyori with some new insights after learning her opinions, she felt incredible noticing there are also smart people like her in Ryuen’s class.

Everyone is working hard.

And personnel arrangement for these steps becomes very necessary.

Since most of students took exam, the competition became fierce.

xxxxx

Class A, Grade 2.

When exam rules announced that students were allowed to choose for themselves, all students in Class 2A looked at their class representatives.

Sakayanagi Arisu.

“.....” She didn’t speak immediately.

For a moment, girl felt like she has entered Twilight zone.

There is no punishment for this exam.

Of course, if participation fee is 15,000, and then because you don’t find QR code or don’t completely solve the problem, and in the end you only get a consolation prize of 5,000 points, which is also called a punishment, then it is meaningless.

“Ryuen and Ichinose have joined hands,” Katsuragi said at this time with a look of complete disbelief, as if he really couldn’t understand how those two people hit it off so easily.

“Because one person can only scan four QR codes, having more people is also a tactic. They joined forces, we will be at a disadvantage in numbers.” Katsuragi-san is still the same as before, just as stable, providing his military advice to class leader.

“.....” Sakayanagi looked around with eyes full of doubt. ’But do I need to take every special exam?’

For their second-grade class A, gap between them and the next was 500 points.

This time, only reward for the exam is a maximum of 100 of class evaluation score.

There is no need to fight, if you ask Sakayanagi’s opinion, who is a lazy person from her birth.

If you interact with her deeply like Kamuro-san, you even find her a bit more introvert type of girl.

Especially since this is an exam for three grades together.

There are 12 classes competing for these 100 points.

Sakayanagi’s attention was just on the 3rd-year students because she noticed that people were getting lively.

Kiryuin Fuka, who had just skipped a class, was calling on students from her own, and also students from Class D of 3rd grade.

And words released are also very beautiful.

“We’re going to sweep all the valuable rewards for this exam! If you get a bonus based on written test score, it will be given directly to you.”

Then also random arngements for those who get rewards.

Looks very confident.

But this means Grade 3-A and 3-D are preparing for a joint exam. Let’s take a look at direction of Class A in Grade 1.

“• •” Arisu changed her view, and kept staring at people’s faces, as if she just noticed these guys in her school.

“.....” Katsuragi found this very strange, but he kept mouth shut.

“Everyone will take test. Then, once exam starts, everyone will go to different areas to search for QR code.”

“Everyone scans four QR codes. Students with odd Roll no, please take a photo of questions and send it to me, and students with even numbers, please take a photo of the questions and send it to Amasawa-san.”

“We two will be responsible for answering the questions. The points obtained will be arranged in a coordinated manner.” Yukinoshita is now going so high with new momentum, as if she just got hatched.

The girls in Class A of 1st grade also seem to be full of energy.

Now two A have begun to rise.

As 3rd member of Class A, Sakayanagi still feels this is not enough to arouse her competitive spirit.

“• •” Observe quietly.

“• ! •” Katsuragi doesn’t know what he should do anymore, so he looked towards a more experienced person.

“.....” Kamuro-san ignored his questioning gaze, as if to convey message of “Don’t bother me.”

Wow....

Because rewards for this treasure hunt game are not that generous, but there are still many competitors.

At the same time, if you want to make a lot of money, you have to find a super academic tool person to solve the problems.

Now in Class 2-A, Sakayanagi Arisu is the most suitable and smartest person who can solve problems

That is to say, use brain.

It’s just after exam rules were announced, Sakayanagi saw herself struggling to answer questions.

’Because why should I do this kind of labour? Still, I can’t think like that completely. After this ship, we will go back to school. Although 13.5 million private points were collected during uninhabited island exam, my income increased. But the expenses will also increase when I return to school. After all, I have to raise a puppy and treat people to meals, which all costs money...needs to be earned continuously. So now it is thrown at my face, and it would be impolite not to accept it. I am a genius after all. Even if other 38 students in class each scanned four QR codes, for me it would only be 152 questions, which was much easier than self-study university content last month. So, Hikigaya-kun, if your class chooses to form an alliance with Ichinose-san, perhaps she will arrange ten or even fifteen top students to serve as pioneers in answering questions. But, I have told you many times that gap between geniuses and ordinary people cannot be shortened by quantity. Why don’t you understand?!’

“💢” Sakayanagi found her mood to be very rotten when she got news that Hikigaya-kun is now cooperating with a girl none other than Ichinose whose knockers are too big when compared to her own fla-----

She suddenly gave her order in a very cold tone, “Just like first-year class A plan, after the exam begins, you will search for QR code and scan it, then take a picture of question with your phone and send it to me. I will give you the answer.”

That is to say, with Sakayanagi as the core, a genius for solving questions is launched.

“Are you sure you don’t want to join forces with Horikita’s class?” But Katsuragi still felt that human wave tactic was worth a try.

“What do you think Horikita-san’s class has now?” However, Sakayanagi just gave a sneer laugh, “Just now when announcement was made that they could choose whether to participate, but Koenji-kun had already left. And now there are only ten minutes. Do you think we can cooperate with her class and arrange their actions?”

Forehead.

“Besides, don’t forget I am a genius!”
