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

Chapter 20: Chapter 20



Although he has never met before, Hachiman has some impressions of the school's chairman.

He thinks the other party is probably a pretty open-minded person.

Teacher Chabashira wanted to trick him into trading before, so he went to the school to buy the permission to convert points into cash in advance, and the school later sent him a message and granted him this permission.

And made some restrictions. It means that points are the most important. As long as you have points, you can buy anything.

But it can't completely cross the line.

Schools are flexible, but they also have bottom lines. And now it's on display.

Since the first-grade class evaluation scores are forced to be exposed, the test questions will be revealed directly, and the closed-book exam will become an open-book exam.

Is there any point in doing this?

Some. On the one hand, the scores revealed now are in line with the possible differences between the four classes after they are admitted.

But there are still more than twenty days in this month, so it becomes important whether we can maintain our advantage or stop being deducted points.

So we can examine the student's reactions more.

Hachiman felt that if he were the chairman, he would probably adopt such a plan.

This can increase the content of the investigation.

But this assumption is too false.

Hachiman doesn't know any chairman.

And he doesn't think he has such a way to rise. As a member of Class D, making more money is the most important thing for him.

If you take Class D and get promoted to Class A, you can get 10 million in cash from Teacher Chabashira.

In this process, if you can get other points, you can also try it.

"Then I'll leave first." Sae Chabashira said.

Although she received the text message from the school, she still needed to go to the meeting.

That is to say, we need to unify the caliber, what can be told to students and what needs to be retained.

The teachers are also working very hard.

___________

Watching Chabashira-sensei leave, the other two did not stay any longer either.

But.

"The plan is still the same." Hachiman said to his neighbour as they walked downstairs from the rooftop.

"The school decided to expose the content of the code of conduct assessment. This saves us trouble, otherwise we would have to summarize and fabricate the specific content of the code of conduct assessment for students to abide by."

"It is best that we can directly take the open-book test now."

"But still there is a problem that needs to be dealt with, rather a big problem that belongs to the lower class," Hachiman said.

"What do you mean?"

"When Chabashira-sensei announces the rules of this school, I will be besieged for sure because I destroyed the camera and my class deducted 50 points," Hachiman said.

"The way to quickly unite a group is to have a common enemy, but I don't want to play this role for this class."

"Then..."

Hachiman paused. "That's when I need you to step in, Horikita-san."

"..." Suzune. Only then did she understand. This guy asked her to take the blame.

__________

In this way. Lunch break is over.

After the afternoon classes were over, all first graders were left in class.

Because the head teacher received a short notice.

They will be told about the rules of this school.

"In the school, only students who graduate from Class A will get a 100% admission and employment rate. All other classes have to take their own exams. The school uses class competition to train you.

When you enroll, each class will give you the same 1,000 basic points that will be accumulated until graduation."

"And the 1st of every month is the time when the school issues living expenses."

"It's just that the monthly living expenses are no longer 100,000, but adjustments will be made based on the evaluation based on this basic score."

"In other words, according to the class evaluation scores published now, your scores are still 480 points."

"Then the living expenses each of you will receive on the 1st of next month

is 48,000. If you have the highest evaluation score, then you are Class A."

"So if your accumulated class evaluation score after any test can exceed that of Class A, then you will be the new Class A," Sae Chabashira, the homeroom teacher of Class D, told her students about the rules.

___________

And the old Class A is here.

Mashima, the homeroom teacher of Class A, is also telling the same rules.

It's just that this was the second time he taught this rule. On the first day of enrollment, this class of students used a huge amount of points to buy the school's rules from him, as well as the rules for the first month of enrollment.

Code of conduct assessment news. It is equivalent to buying inside information.

Then get the information and develop secretly, and you will eventually get a higher score than previous Class A's.

It can create a safe gap with the lower classes.

And now.

  First-grade Class A 996 points;

  First-grade Class B 834 points;

  First-grade Class C 611 points;

  First-grade Class D 530 points.

Their Class A has already distanced itself from Class C and Class D.

But Class B still has 834 points left.

So I haven't distanced myself from Class B yet.

It would be very safe if Class B only had six or seven hundred points left.

In this way. Katsuragi-san, who was following a steady path, frowned.

This made the members of the Sakayanagi Institute look at their leader, the little princess Arisu, with even more enthusiasm.

The little princess seemed to be thinking about something, her cute brows slightly raised.

However, in fact, she was not thinking about facing the exam at all.

Because she was thinking.

Hikigaya-kun gets all the information about the school from her.

And Hikigaya was able to do things that deducted points from the class and exposed the class evaluation score, and he also realized it from her.

That is to say, the class confrontation has not started yet.

She fell in love with the enemy, and not even once but twice.

'What a complicated.... experience. So, am I considered a traitor to Class A?'

Sakayanagi Arisu curled her lips.'Who would have thought?'

That she was thinking about being a traitor.

But. After all, she was aware of the gazes of the classmates around her.

Is it because they cannot take advantage of the current situation, so relying on the stable Katsuragi is unreliable.

Do I want the radical Sakayanagi Arisu to lead?

Do you want Sakayanagi-san to lead them to get ahead of other classes and then feel at ease?

But, this classmate understands their hearts very clearly.

But people, the girl you hope for has already been defeated by the Great Demon King Hikigaya.

And twice in a row. From this perspective, it is indeed a bit embarrassing.

Arisu Sakayanagi thought in her mind.

But after all, it was something she created, so she might as well finish it off.

The head teacher, Mashima-sensei, has now given up the podium to them after informing them that the conduct assessment will continue.

Arisu glanced over to Katsuragi, who was frowning.

After the students in the class were divided into the Sakayanagi Institute and Katsuragi's kindergarten, the boundaries became clear.

Katsuragi's kindergarten students sat leaning against the classroom door.

The students of Sakayanagi Institute were sitting against the window.

Even the class table moved in two directions.

There are two rows respectively.

The Katsuragi kindergarten has 20 people, while the Sakayanagi Institute has 16 people.

The remaining middle ground students were driven to the rear.

"Can I say a few words?" Sakayanagi said after thinking for a while.

And when she said this, she actually stood up holding on to the table.

"I don't think there is any need to worry."

"We are students in Class A. Whether it is an open-book exam or not, we will get high scores."

"But in other classes, I don't think they can have the same binding force. Like Class B, even if they know the rules of the exam, they will still deduct at least 150 points."

"So even if we do nothing, we can open up a gap of nearly 300 points with Class B."

"In other words, does Class A still have the advantage?"

Yes. Most of the requirements of the code of conduct require self-discipline.

If students from other classes really have this kind of self-control, they will be assigned to Class A.

And they were deducted 4 points in 6 days.

Therefore, even if this exam continues, they can still get high scores of more than 950 points.

This score has never been achieved in the history of this school, including the class A of the best student council president Horikita Manabu.

So their maximum score value has been determined.

But other classes can only continue to have points deducted.

"Now I also suggest that we stay put and get the high scores that belong to our class first." The steady Katsuragi-san finally spoke.

In other words, Class A will continue to face the exam calmly.

After informing him about this, Sakayanagi Arisu sat down.

Shaking away the thought that she was a traitor, Sakayanagi Arisu gently raised her left hand.

Holding the cheek.

As she said to Kamuro-san, even if the closed-book exam becomes an open-book exam, then... as long as the students don't restrain themselves, their scores will continue to be greatly deducted.

'So, Hikigaya-kun, how do you restrain your classmates who can deduct 500 points in 5 days?'

If he wants a group to unite, the only option is to become enemies.

You choose to be the enemy of the entire class?

And even if you do, the classmates in your class will not listen to an enemy next time. 'So how do you solve a dilemma like that?:

__________

But Hikigaya-kun hasn't done anything yet.

Not in trouble yet. When Class A finished the information notification, things didn't go well for Class D.

Because. Almost immediately after they learned that the living expenses for the next month were actually less than 100,000, and even the 100% employment and enrollment rate were fake.

The students in Class D exploded.

So I had no intention of listening to the specific items of Chabashira-sensei's upcoming code of conduct exam.

"This, this is too much, it's a fraud!"

"This school is full of crap!"

"I want my money back?!"

"Chabashira-sensei, you scammed us!"

"I'll definitely file a complaint against this shitty school!"

"That's right, I'll write a letter to the Ministry of Education, and get this school banned!"

Some students immediately objected.

"That's right, didn't they say that after entering this school, you can get free tuition, but now the admission and employment rate are all false?"

Hmm. These students focus on this. Sae immediately felt a little relieved in her heart.

"The living expenses for next month are only 48,000, which is not enough at all!"

"What should I do? I only have 10,000 points left. No more money will be distributed until the 1st of next month!"

But soon! Yes, the topic has been turned here.

Because it is related to next month's living expenses.

It's very true, classmates of Class D.

Hachiman was sitting in his seat, and he noticed that Horikita Suzune, who was sitting next to him, took out a small notebook and began to record the notes informed by Teacher Chabashira.

Although she had already read it on his mobile phone, she still recorded it seriously.

What a serious person.

And Hachiman knew that there was still a balance of 93,000 points in her personal account.

In other words, there are still more than 90,000 points left.

Very economical. By comparison.

It is now the sixth day of school, and after the students got a huge sum of 100,000 yen in their hands, they immediately started spending money and buying.

Not just girls, but boys too.

  All kinds of comics, buy them!

  All kinds of books, buy them!

  All kinds of light novels, buy them!

  Just buy them all!

Then there are game consoles, computers, clothes, and then all kinds of food and so on.

Therefore, everyone has very little living expenses left.

Because they were thinking that there would be another 100,000 points coming in next month, so everyone basically squandered it without any limit.

For example, the little angel Kushida-san bought several kinds of perfume.

She probably doesn't have much money either. And now.

Sensei actually said that the points won't be credited until the 1st of next month, and there are no more 100,000, only 48,000 left?

'Directly reduced by half! The fuck is going on?!'

"By the way, didn't the bulletin board say that Hikigaya was deducted 50 points?" Ike suddenly said.

"Kushida-san, you saw it then!"

"Ah... um." Kushida-san probably didn't expect to be mentioned, and there seemed to be a hint of hesitation on her face.

Because if she made the announcement of the student council at this time, Hikigaya-kun might be attacked by his classmates.

After all, he was deducted 50 points.

And these 50 points come from the class. And this score concerns all classmates.

As a result, he was deducted 50 points by himself. 'So, is Hikigaya-kun taking drugs?'

This made her hesitate. But after Classmate Ike pointed it out, most of the students focused their attention.

She was with Ichinose-san at that time, and was also... the first person to notice the student council's punishment announcement for Hikigaya-kun.

But in the current situation, there was no way she could help.

So he just nodded. Hachiman knew, that Kushida-san is unreliable.

Only Horikita is a useful person.Then Hachiman looked at the person mentioned.

She caught the other person's look and seemed to sigh slightly, then put down the pen.

"About this."

Just when Horikita Suzune was about to stand up to make a rescue, someone stood up and said.

"I hope everyone will be quiet."

'Why? Didn't you see there's a riot in the class?!'

"First of all, Chabashira-sensei is still announcing the content."

'Oh, then why are you still talking? Please sit down, Hirata-san!'

'Let, Horikita Suzune do her job!' Hachiman wanted to complain, and throw his eraser at this clown's head.

"Then..."

"I don't think Hikigaya-kun should be involved. Although the camera was damaged, if it weren't for him, then Chabashira-sensei wouldn't have informed us about the nature of this school, right?"

With that said, Hirata looked at Chabashira. He is very popular in the class and has helped many people during this time.

So both boys and girls trust him.

Then everyone looked at the teacher.

Chabashira-sensei nodded calmly, "According to the past situation, notification will be made on the 1st of next month."

Hirata seemed to be reassured, and then said to everyone,"So, if it weren't for Hikigaya-kun, then we might still be kept in the dark. "

"I think this is Hikigaya-kun's credit, we shouldn't target him. After all, out of 1,000 points, all of us deducted more than 400 points in six days." He continued, fooling his classmates with a sunny smile on her face, "...So, what we should think about is what to do next."

Hirata's words are reasonable.

At the same time, he directly pulled out the method of assigning blame that everyone was deducting points, and directly shared the responsibility for Hachiman's broken camera, deducting 50 points and possibly siege.

When Hirata said this, Ike seemed a little embarrassed when he mentioned Hachiman's 50-point deduction at first.

But Hachiman noticed that the black-haired and fox-eyed girl sitting next to him kept staring at him.

Her eyes were bright. She seemed to be asking.

You already have a candidate to help you, so why bother making her do more hard work?

'Don't you know I studies 10 hours every day?! Do you want me to get more stressed by dealing with these idiots?'

This meaning appeared in Hachiman's eyes.

Because. Hirata really wasn't arranged by him.

Rather, it is the other party's own actions.

In fact, yesterday, when Kushida-san was asked to spread the rumors, Hirata-san was very enthusiastic.

In order to investigate the authenticity of the rumors, he went to the football club himself, and then used the price of joining the club to obtain the second prize from his seniors.

Number of first graders and third graders.

After confirming that, after coming to this school, a large number of students dropped out.

But he also got a new piece of information.

Horikita Manabu's class in Class A of the third grade is the only one among the upperclassmen which still has 40 students in the third grade.

No one dropped out of this class. The above is the information obtained by Hirata-san, and then shared with everyone.

The information is all in the class group.

And now, did Hirata-san actually stand up and defend Hachiman when he was attacked?

Only. It's a pity. Be kind to others and help others. These are pretty good qualities.

'But Hirata, you are assigned to Class D, first grade.

It was judged as a place of garbage, so you didn't say anything about your past.

What caused the examiner to ignore all your shining points after reviewing your information, and then assigned you to Class D?'

Therefore, although Hirata-san stood up to help, Hachiman felt pressure.

But remember the favor of the other person.

With this in mind, Hachiman turned his attention to the girl sitting next to him on the left.

"..." Suzune. Um.

Her eyes are bright now, because there seems to be no room for her to interrupt now.

According to Hachiman's plan, once he is besieged by students in the class, or even said that he will be deducted 50 points and asked to pay for it himself, Horikita-san will be asked to stand up and rescue him.

The method of relief was also similar to Hirata-san's.

As the saying goes, one cannot blame everyone.

But in the entire class, except for Horikita Suzune, everyone else made small moves in class, and even Hirata-san was not exempted.

So, just push the responsibility away, everyone is deducting points, so why should we attack Hikigaya-san's 50 points?

It's just that this plan is now used by Hirata, and it is very effective.

Hirata's popularity was very high, and no one objected when he said that he shared responsibilities equally.

Everyone also looked away from Hikigaya Hachiman.

However, at this moment, what Hachiman thought about was what would happen if Horikita-san stood up.

So can you get results so quickly? First of all, she is not popular, except for being extremely beautiful and having a cold temperament.

Unless Kushida-san licks her with ulterior motives, then she has no popularity.

Therefore, it is difficult for students in the class to hesitate and agree with Hirata when he speaks like this.

  ...

"Then we will announce some of the information that the school allows for free openings." Teacher Chabashira watched the students become quiet, and then continued to inform the information.

"It is the first test that every new student faces after admission."

"The assessment lasts for one month."

"A class is a unit, and the basic score of all classes is 1,000 points, and then various points will be deducted from these 1,000 points based on your standard behavior."

"The specific items are that you are not allowed to be late, leave early, play with mobile phones, read novels in class, sleep in class, etc..."

"After school, you are not allowed to litter and damage the environment... "

"Fighting is a felony."

"Code of conduct -"

"..." This was like a code of conduct, which made everyone confused.

But finally someone understood.

"Wait a minute!" a girl said.

It's a girl with a blond ponytail sitting in the front row.

She's a pretty cute hottie. And this was Hachiman's classmate who had impressed him several times and had fallen in love with him.

Karuizawa Kei. It seems that in the past two days, she has become the boss of the hot girls she hangs out with.

"Chabashira-sensei, this means that from today to the end of this month, we must abide by these codes of conduct. Do we have to stick to it for a month?" Karuizawa-san asked.

"Yes." Sae Chabashira looked back at her and said. "Normally, it will be announced after you have finished the exam a month later. Now, because of Hikigaya's ridiculous mistake, the points have been passively exposed this time."

"This is also the first time in the history of this school."  

"It's just that you are lucky and can see the changing scores in advance, but the exam has not stopped."

In fact, Teacher Chabashira spoke for Hachiman.

At this time, the eyes of the surrounding classmates who had just left because of Hirata-san's rescue gathered again.

The little angel Kushida who was exploring the school with Hachiman on the first day of school also came over.

One of the eyes blinked slightly.

It seemed to be saying something like "Did you destroy the camera on purpose? It was actually for the sake of the class."

In other words, did she finally understand that he was not the kind of boy who made trouble, but that he did it on purpose?

In order to publish all current scores to the public.

'But Kushida-san, it's no use even if you blink so cutely now. '

'You didn't help me just now, and already made me think that you are unreliable.' Hachiman thought to himself.
