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

In the exam month of behavioral standard assessment, more attention will be paid to students' performance and conduct.

Follow Chabashira-sensei's instructions.

A week later, the Student council will hold a court hearing on Class C's request. If the trial fails, the class evaluation points will be deducted based on the results, and Sudo's punishment will be immediate.

Possibly suspension from school.

However, class evaluation points will still be deducted.

Moreover, one person fights three people in a fight. The incident is quite bad, so the probability of being punished is very high.

"So is there any other way?" After the first class, some students came to Hachiman's desk.

This is Yosuke's mother in the class.

The counterpart to Yosuke's mother is Kushida-san. Because she has a cute appearance and a sweet smile, and she is like a little angel.

Both of them came here. Well...

Actually, it wasn't just them, but also Horikita Suzune. Although she was sitting next to him, she looked directly over.

After all, if Sudo's beating is confirmed, that guy will be punished, and the class will also be affected, especially since everyone has signed an agreement to get 400 points.

Certainly. Yosuke's mother was probably worried about Sudo, while the others were worried about the class evaluation scores.

Everyone has priorities.

After all, everyone worked so hard to restrain themselves, and if Sudo were to take a big deduction, most people would have a psychological breakdown.

Only. Hachiman glanced in the culprit's direction who immediately left the class when it was over.

As the person at the center of the incident, Sudo seemed to feel that he was being blamed by his classmates and ran away.

Then Hachiman also lost interest.

"Regarding this matter, I think there is no other option but to accept the trial." Hachiman comforted Yosuke's mother, the only thing left was to pat the child's back.

But he restrained himself.

"So try to find information that is beneficial to Sudo as much as possible."

"For example, I think the poor kid is innocent. Class C may have suggested that Sudo beat the three of them. So, I think there may be some problem." Hachiman said, but someone interrupted his therapy session.

"But Sudo is usually grumpy and irritable!" A student came over to talk to him. "He even looks like a gangster!"

"I think the beating may be true!" the student said. Hachiman glanced at this classmate.

This is Haruki Yamauchi. It makes Hachiman feel a little speechless for a moment.

According to his latest knowledge, this guy was expelled from the school and even sent to the mountains by his parents.

Then got arrested by the police for peeping on a high school girl, and when this criminal was released, he immediately went to the adult sex shop, but well....things didn't end well.

Got executed by the men in black. Yamauchi Haruki lived no more.

"...." Hachiman. This story got dark. He looked at this boy again, with new insights.

Because after enrolling, Sudo who looked irritable but still introduced himself? A child's trick, he said?

But he quickly integrated into the small group.

It's just a small team with Ike and the others, not an active member but a little disliked by the girls.

And, this boy, Yamauchi is also a member of the small team, but now he doesn't speak up for Sudo?

Is that why he was expelled from the class? Going against his own friends?

That's why, Hachiman again realised that he didn't want such superficial friends, especially like Yamauchi, who lived no more....

"It's better to trust your classmates." So, Hachiman decided to give a life lesson,  "I believe Sudo didn't hit people for no reason, but self-defense as he said."

"Hikigaya-kun! I believe in Sudo-kun too!" This sentence made Yosuke's mother feel good. Some people would think, he even had an orgasm after hearing that.

Hirata is probably the person who values his classmates the most. That's why he came to Hikigaya-kun after class.

On the one hand, if the court case is decided, Sudo will be responsible for reducing class points.

No one wants to see this. And Hachiman also has the goal of being promoted to Class A, so the class evaluation scores are naturally very precious.

Then Hachiman and Hirata have the same idea.

Try your best to excuse Sudo, provide help, and reduce or even eliminate the matter of reducing points.

But. Hirata is trusting his classmates, and does Hikigaya-kun also trust Sudo?

This made Yosuke's mother feel very happy. However.

This was not the case, because Hachiman witnessed what happened.

So he fully knew that Sudo was indeed tricked and forced to defend himself. It's just that you can't say this now.

The recorded video shows that Ryuen of Class C wants to do something, and now his goal is clear.

Ryuen clearly used violence, but he boldly applied for a court hearing from the Student council, almost challenging the school's rules.

Because. Generally speaking, it is unrealistic for Sudo to fight three people when he is alone.

And this is what ordinary people think too.

However, Ryuen was able to present it to the student council, which showed that he had made some preparations that were enough to convince the school that Sudo went too far and hit three people in a row.

And such behavior is probably a black method.

In order to achieve his goal, he may sometimes hurt himself, but Hachiman thinks it is possible to accomplish it.

But Ryuen's actions were somewhat similar but unlike him, he is clearly a dangerous person.

Class confrontation does not mean that you have to be upright, but if the other party is so dangerous... you have to pull down Ryuen from Class C first.

It's just a matter of how to pull it. The other party has already taken the initiative to self-destruct, so just let the other party explode.

With that, Hachiman looked at the others.

"Let's look for witnesses to Sudo's fight." Hachiman said as if analyzing. "If there is a witness, it may be possible to prove his innocence."

And this. Sakura, who was sitting in her seat, looked up from her book, and glanced at Hachiman cautiously.

Her cheeks turned red, and the obscene memory of yesterday's incident came to her mind, plus the things she did inside her room after that....

Um. Sakura kept quiet. This girl is very good.

But. "We can definitely do this!" Someone immediately responded to him.

Hachiman looked over and saw that the person who responded to him, had a single ponytail with cute facial features.

This was Karuizawa Kei.

Among the girls Hachiman has seen in this school, she is ranked second in terms of cuteness.

"..." It turned out to be Karuizawa who had been in his grudge book.

And she probably hates him too. 'So, I don't understand what Karuizawa wants to do.'

She actually cooperated with him.

Even though the class ended, most of the students were still in the classroom.

Because, they originally thought that if Sudo was deducted points for a fight, everyone's efforts would be ruined, and the living expenses for the next month might not be much.

This is really terrible, no one likes to eat that unpalatable mountain vegetable set meal.

So, they want money!

But the only way, is the class evaluation scores related to each student under the school.

Once the deduction is reduced to 0, then there will be no living expenses for the next month.

What a horror!

Because they had eaten terrible food and spent money lavishly, the students did not dare to think about having nothing next month.

In this way, although Sudo's matters have come out now.

But if someone proves that he acted in self-defense rather than fighting, wouldn't he be innocent?

Then our class evaluation scores and living expenses will not be affected.

In this way. Although they said it was for Sudo, but also for themselves, the first-year Class D students began to look for witnesses everywhere.

However, this seems not enough.

_________

Student council, the President is still on duty.

"So, you want to apply for using the bulletin board to get information?" It was Horikita Manabu's voice that echoed, inside the cold-sterile room.

Just like the last time, he was followed by Tachibana-senpai.

However, there is also a handsome vice president, Nagumo, with short blond hair in the office.

As before, the other party still placed a slutty sign with the words Vice President Nagumo on his desk.

As long as students come to the student council, they will pay attention to it.

Because he has been in this school for a while, and Hachiman also knows that the vice president's name is Nagumo Miyabi.

According to the information obtained from Kushida-san, he is not a student of Class A, but a former Class B student, and then led his classmates to achieve A.

No wonder he is such a coquettish guy.

From Chabashira-sensei, we can learn that there are very few examples of Class B attacking Class A and succeeding.

And. The other party is in the second grade, which means that he has achieved the feat of reaching A in the first grade.

In this way, Nagumo climbed up and obtained the status of Class A. At the same time, he was valued by the student council president Horikita Manabu and invited to join the student council, and was promised the position of vice president.

Only. However, Hachiman also discovered that the vice president was not only Nagumo, but also a second-year student named Kiriyama.

But this Kiriyama-senpai was a former student of Class A and was beaten down by Nagumo.

So it stands to reason that the two of them are enemies.

At the same time, Kiriyama was Nagumo's defeated opponent.

'So why, in addition, this guy was also invited?' And he is also the vice president.

'Is President Horikita that inclusive, or....there's something that needs to be balanced in the student council?' But for now, let's deal with the matter at hand first.

"Yes," Hachiman said as he headed to the student council with Hirata.

And there is only one purpose, hoping to pay points and then conduct a search to find witnesses.

If these witnesses are willing to testify, a certain number of points will be rewarded.

'After all, the trial is next week, so I have to do everything I can now!'

'Gather the strength of the entire class and even the whole school to find witnesses!'

"Um, Student Council President, I think Sudo-kun in my class is innocent, because it's against common sense for one person to hit three people or something." Hirata said quickly, being a little nervous.

"So there may be some misunderstanding!"

"The specific matters will have to wait until next week when you defend him during the court hearing." But the Student council president was quite calm.

"Really?" Although he was rejected quite outright, Hirata did not give up.

And, proactively paid the points in the hope of finding witnesses to the fight.

Post the information you are looking for on the bulletin board.

And this of course requires a fee.

However, Hachiman knew very well that.... there was no point in searching like this.

'~Hehe~ Because me and Sakura are those ghost witnesses!'

Grass!

But Sakura, who got reprimanded by Hachiman after recording the evidence, is now a good girl, very well-behaved.

Even Hachiman was surprised, how quickly she understood everything when he ordered her. Turned over a new leaf.

If Sakura is not allowed to come out, she will not come out.

And these are all to show that first-year Class D is working hard to deal with it.

However, while recording, Hachiman noticed that the expression on the Vice president of the student council seemed a little subtle.

"What's the matter? Nagumo-senpai." Hachiman asked, slightly curious.

"Heh... no." But Nagumo shook his head. "The total is 20,000 points. Scan the QR code here."

But he seemed to be snickering. Yes.

Because something happened again in Class D.

Earlier, Hachiman broke the camera, and then he came to print the roster of the whole grade just to make friends, and now his classmate is beating up three people by himself.

It can be said that Nagumo has seen all three things.

Then he wanted to just shake his head. 'This year's freshmen are really hopeless.' Nagumo, thought in his heart.

But such efforts are not completely over yet.

____________

And the next day.

When school was over in the afternoon, Hachiman asked Kushida to ask out Ichinose Honami.

The reason is also very simple.

Ichinose is the representative of Class B, and now Class D is in trouble. As a partner of the BD Alliance, she is of course obligated.

This is also a time when the alliance between the two classes is tested.

Therefore, Ichinose-san's connections also joined in. Looking for witnesses to the Sudo incident.

Use the other party to roam around the school like a fool, Hachiman didn't even feel bad doing this.

________

In this way.

First-year Class D is running for Ken Sudo and doing everything they can.

But. Very helpless. Because no witnesses were found at all.

The experimental building where Sudo fought had no cameras. So everything went to its worst.

__________

And just like that, the time came for the day before the trial.

Canteen private room on the third floor.

"Thanks for the hospitality," Hachiman said, with a gloomy face.  He always likes it very much, when the other party treats him with free food. But well...

Today's lunch is a treat from Sakayanagi, and the set meal is 2,200 points.

Generally speaking, students will not eat so expensively, but Sakayanagi is a rich Lolita.

And she agreed to it. Besides, Hachiman didn't think the meal was free.

because.

Immediately after that Sakayanagi Arisu opened her mouth, "Then since you ate my food, Hikigaya-kun, your class seems to be involved in a court fight. Can you talk about the progress?" She said, as if just waiting for the perfect moment.

"It would be a pity if you fell like this." She said, while looking sad. "After all, I just declared war on you, and the result will be declared immediately."

The first-year class D students began to go out to find witnesses for Sudou.

'I hope the other party will testify, which made quite a fuss, and even other classes will know.'

Especially Class A, which has many eyes and ears.

Certainly. "It took all the efforts of the class and Ichinose's classmates, but we did not find any witnesses," Hachiman said, with a helpless look.

Sakayanagi also couldn't do much, but nod her head in understanding.

Rather, the students in Class D's search for witnesses this time have been heard in several classes.

But it's a pity. Could not find it.

So, many contacts and resources were wasted, but no witnesses were found.

For Class D, Just a very bad situation.

"Once the fight is confirmed, your class will not be able to move up," Sakayanagi declared with a sigh.

Because if there was a fight, and it was a one-on-three fight of a bad nature, then Sudo might gift Class D a 200-point deduction.

so. Hikigaya-kun, is this how your Class D is going to be sent? What about the war?

"And Ryuen-kun's handling is very clever." Sakayanagi said, as if she was impressed or pretending to be, Hachiman wasn't sure, "The students in his class are really injured. I think  Sudo-kun in your class is really a warrior."

Actually not. Hachiman understood that Sakayanagi was indicating that Ryuen from Class C was a thoughtful person.

Generally speaking, when Ishizaki Daichi and the others fought with Sudo, they were definitely not injured at the time, but they showed scars afterwards, which made people understand the seriousness of the matter.

In fact, from this point of view, Sakayanagi-san is probably a kind person.

Because she gives an entry point. That was the extent of injuries suffered by Ishizaki Daichi and the others over at Ryuen.

You can call the camera to record the changes of Ishizaki and others before and after.

Then it was confirmed that injuries caused by Sudo was not that serious.

And Hachiman also looked at her quickly, "...Hmm" but the girl just retained her elegant posture.

As one of the representatives of Class A, this incident was not her fault.

It was the plan of Katsuragi's follower Totsuka Yahiko. Originally, Sakayanagi proposed a plan that would stabilize Class A's score by doing nothing.

It's just that Yahiko and the others feel that they can't draw too many points away from Class B, and everyone has paid points to get the essence of this school.

Not only is the result now known to everyone, but the code of conduct exams are continuing.

So other classes can also exercise self-restraint. Although it is impossible not to deduct points, it should be less.

This puts a lot of pressure on Katsuragi and the others who want to firmly maintain their status in Class A.

So, this time there was a move to hire students from Class C.

As a student of Class A, Sakayanagi didn't want to sign the agreement that Ryuen brought, which required long-term gains and benefits for completing the task.

So, isn't the failure of Ryuen or something like that certain?

It's just that Hikigaya and the others seemed to have done everything they could to find witnesses, but they didn't seem to think that much about the upcoming trial.

Slightly regrettable. 'But, is this really the case?'

Ever since Hikigaya-kun's last self-destruction of the school's camera, which forced the class evaluation scores to be exposed in advance, Sakayanagi felt that this guy was unusual and his methods would be unimaginable.

So, she also wants to know a little bit about his methods for this trial. And she had just revealed a plan to him.

Betrayed the class again. But.

"But." Hachiman said, with a small smile "Sakayanagi, do you believe in higher power?"

"Higher power? ....Do you mean luck?" Sakayanagi blinked her eyes cutely, but then frowned, because of the unexpected question.

"Not exactly," Hachiman denied, but continued to explain, "This time Ryuen arranged for Komiya, Ishizaki and others to plan a fight with Sudo, and then I happened to record their conversation about framing him!" Even his eyes got brighter by the end of the sentence.

"..." Sakayanagi. Really?

'Are you a fool? If you have the evidence, then why are you looking for witnesses all over the school...'

The whole class participated, 'Oh no, this is just a performance to give Ryuen-kun, a peace of mind!'

It seems that the steady actions of the Katsuragi's kindergarten are already over, before they could gain colour.

So, on the day of the trial, it had just ended.

Ryuen Sho, a first-year class C student, was informed that 400 points had been deducted from the class evaluation score because of false accusations.

At the same time, Ryuen Sho, Ishizaki Daichi, Komiya, and Kondo were suspended from school for a week because they deliberately planned fights and made false accusations, and wasted the time of the Student council.

And because of this, first-grade Class C changed classes with first-grade Class D due to a drop in class evaluation scores.

Hachiman's class was promoted to Class C.

Becoming the first class in the history of this school to be promoted successfully in the first month.

______________

"..." Nagumo.

Members of the Student Council will update class evaluation scores.

After each special examination, the scores of the four classes ABCD will be updated. And he was responsible for the transcription. Only.

"Why?" Vice president, Nagumo Miyabi stood in front of the small blackboard with a piece of chalk.

Because. Class D of the first grade was promoted to C, and not even a month has passed after enrolling.

This made Nagumo feel a little dazed.

'Did I actually make a mistake? The students in Class D of the first grade are actually very cool, right?'
