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

”Hikigaya-kun,” Suzune turned her head and asked very coldly, ”What do you think?”

”???” Hachiman who is being lazy.

”It has nothing to do with me. I have achieved my goal,” Hachiman already suffered enough, it was time to finally rest his brain, ”There’s no need for you to try so hard. It’s only 4th month of school, and there will probably be dozens of exams like this. Instead of thinking about helping others pass, why not go and discuss it with Ichinose?”

Although the ability of Ichinose’s class is very strong.

But there is a safe solution to this test.

Since they set questions for each other, it can be concluded that there is a possibility that questions can be leaked to each other.

From this perspective, bastards can overcome difficulties together with the hostile class, set questions for each other, exchange answers, and then pass test together.

So although question was not spoken out loud this time, it was probably [group interest collaboration].

This condition is based on the assumption that hostile class will not betray.

Classes like Ryuen or C are absolutely untrustworthy because they might give fake test papers and cause a large number of students in Hachiman’s class to drop out.

This result is more tempting than any benefit, so will definitely betray.

So is there anyone who can believe it?

Ichinose Honami is a good example. Her character including her angels are oddities in this school.

They are just like saints!

Such people are very trustworthy.

So this time, just need to unite with her kind breed.

And since they are united, don’t want the students in class to be expelled, so Suzune can give them option of ”no one will be expelled”, and they will even take the initiative to propose it without any cost.

Ichinose and the others are very cheap saints.

At the same time, they are also most suitable target to sell 200 points by losing to them in the confrontation between 2 classes.

Hachiman’s idea was that Class A lost in this exam.

Since losing will result in points being deducted, it would be better to continue to gain points from the Ichinose class, with whom Hachiman frequently trade.

The class with Ichinose is the most beneficial.

This is gentle answer to this exam.

Given the purity of the poor students in Class A, if no external help is requested, some people will definitely drop out of this exam.

At the same time, Hirata will probably be in a state of mental breakdown for a while.

That is to say, almost impossible for Class A to win this exam.

What needs to be considered is, key point of this exam is... which class to give it to.

Give points to the other party and get a little kickback.

Then, Students who can keep their classes will not be expelled.

Certainly, but this is also difficult.

It’s not that 2 sides will nominate any class they want to compete, but after being issued, draw lots.

So there is impossibility.

Will this result occur? Very likely.

Because they are now Class A, occupying position of the original A.

At the same time, academic ability is also worst.

Therefore, Ryuen’s class, which also has poor academic ability, has a chance to nominate them, because both sides are full of scumbags and need to leak questions to each other.

And from the perspective of interests, the Original Class A, now Class C, will definitely nominate them.

Because as long as they beat them, Class C will have a chance to return to A status.

It is also 1st time since entering school that Katsuragi can win a battle again, which can boost low morale.

And this is 1st time Arisu Sakayanagi is in charge of Class A.

xxxxx

So now Class A is still discussing it, but Sakayanagi, perhaps, has already submitted a challenge to Class A immediately after knowing the rules.

Now in Class A. (Suzune)

”How about we challenge Class D?”

While Hachiman was thinking, his thoughts were suddenly interrupted.

Because a boy stood up with a confident expression on his face.

However, Suzune’s eyes were full of calmness.

Because although Class A is now full of poor students, Ryuen that has fallen to Class D is also riding same boat.

In order to prevent people from dropping out of school, both sides have poor students, so the only way to get through safely is to leak the test questions to each other.

However, this is actually a very stupid approach.

Because, Ryuen, that man, is not the type to cooperate obediently.

It is very likely that a test paper will be given, but it will be fake.

Then when the first subject is tested, the fake test paper will be exposed.

However, at this time, in order to obtain the real test paper, poor students in Class A can only agree to all of Ryuen’s conditions.

It is very likely that other party will make a huge request.

’So, this boy took the initiative to come to Ryuen only want to be bitten.’ Hachiman made a conclusion, he didn’t want to get involved.

”Well, let’s talk about this later.” Hirata Yosuke noticed that atmosphere was not right, and quickly stepped out to smooth things over, ”Also, didn’t Chabashira-sensei say there would be a small test? After all, we should test our actual scores first?”

”Horikita-san, what do you think?” As he said that, Hirata turned his gaze towards none other but Suzune.

”???” Suzune, how would she know?

However, his peripheral vision was glancing at Hachiman who was squating next to Suzune.

Hirata is not stupid. Hikigaya-kun said his goal was Class A at the beginning, and now he has achieved his mission.

’Now Hikigaya-kun doesn’t seem to be paying attention to the special exam right now.This time, exam had a high probability of causing high scores and students dropping out, but Hikigaya-kun did not give any instructions.Not even contact me individually to make any special arrangements.’ It made Hirata’s gentle heart a little uneasy.

’I feel like Hikigaya-kun doesn’t care about the class anymore.N-Not only is he not interested in maintaining Class A, they don’t even mind if someone drops out.’

”Let’s test it first.” Suzune responded casually, there was no other way anyway. ’Besides, if you don’t know other’s real scores, can’t even pair up.’

She originally thought that she was a student in Class A after all, which was why she initially thought that she should be assigned to Class A instead of D.

’And now that I have really become a student in Class A, I want to act like one....’

Result, it hurts so much to be hit.

Horikita Suzune felt that the offer was a bit too big and might not be able to take it.

So, focus was on her own situation.

She would not feel the same embarrassment about this exam as other students did, never.

Because she is a top student who can guarantee 90 points or even above 95 points in every subject.

Therefore, even if she was the only one, she would not be expelled from school.

However, Hachiman glanced at her, who was sitting next to him.

’Horikita changed from Horikita Suzune to half of President’s sister.This is a bit of a cowardly behavior.’

However, he felt that Horikita Suzune might not realize the seriousness of this exam yet, because that girl was not being placed now.

So for Class A, situation will only get worse.

Chabashira distributed the test papers and asked students to test your own.

1st Grade Class C. (Original A)

”It seems like other classes are a bit noisy.....”

Because the classrooms were in same building, even though each class was on one floor, Class C still felt the excitement of A from Hachiman.

”Maybe it’s because of the worry about this exam?”

A former class A student said, ”Like even though people like us who don’t talk climbed up from class D, but they are still poor students.”

This contemptuous view was agreed by Katsuragi’s follower, Totsuka Yahiko, ”Katsuragi-san, why don’t we just make a declaration to Class A this time? The winner will take 200 points from the loser, and then Class A will be knocked down, and our class will have a chance to return!”

”If we talk about academic, we have the upper position,” Katsuragi sat in his seat with his hands folded, while their Class C homeroom teacher, Mr. Majima, had already announced rules of the exam.

Paired test.

Students make up their own questions.

You need to decide which class you want to compete against today, and then submit the test papers to the rival class from 6 am to 5 pm at the end of the month, which is on the 24th.

However, class evaluation score for this exam was very high, and the winner received 200 points from the loser, which meant that gap of 400 points could be shortened.

Although Class A now has a high score, Katsuragi has the opportunity to pull the other side down directly.

He suddenly felt that current situation was not so torturous.

Because for the configuration of their original Class A, probably no one needed to worry about failing the exam and dropping out.

So this pairing test is very beneficial.

Points lost in sports events may also be regained.

”We will definitely be able to crush Class A right now....Besides, most of the students in Class A have poor grades, so it may cause a large number of their students to fail.” Katsuragi’s heart turned cold after being regarded as a failure.

”It means that matching students of enemy class will drop out in groups. Among them, poor students will be executed, but even good ones may also drop out, which will weaken their strength.”

”As expected of Katsuragi-san~” Yahiko immediately praised like an excited cheer girl.

”Sakayanagi, you think so too, right?” Yahiko was a staunch member of the Katsuragi faction, so he often wanted to suppress the enemy.

Because it was obvious that all had to do was follow Katsuragi-san, but everyone split into two groups and one group insisted on Sakayanagi.

After the Sports festival, Katsuragi was disbanded.

He withdrew from the leadership and handed over the representative to Sakayanagi Arisu.

As a result, she encountered such a cool exam as soon as got on stage.

All the advantages of heaven and earth depend on this test.

In other words, Sakayanagi doesn’t need to give any instructions and can directly lead the class to a great victory!

What good luck!

”....” Sakayanagi Arisu.

Chapter 261

In other words, Sakayanagi doesn’t need to give any instructions and can directly lead the class to a great victory!

What good luck!

”....” Sakayanagi Arisu.

Girl seemed to be in a bad mood for the past two days.

“After Mashima-sensei finished explaining the rules, I sent an email to the school, declaring war on Class A on behalf of Class C. Then I paid 100,000 points and contacted the students in Class D, who  will be responsible for declaring war on Class B. After the matter is completed, I will pay an additional 300,000 points. Each student will transfer these points to Kamuro-san after class, and she will transfer them to Class D. And if both classes declare war on different targets at once, it can finalize enemy of the battle.”

This made Katsuragi’s eyes widen.

’Because....Eh?So fast? And even the possibility of Class A being declared war by others and then being determined using the final draw was blocked?’ Katsuragi felt educated.

Of course very quickly.

Because what Sakayanagi can think of, there are probably people in other classes who can think of it too.

The favorite class of this exam is A.

Everyone wants to fight against A.

Because they have the worst academic ability, not exchanging test papers can allow them to gain points from each other and may even cause students to drop out of their class.

By exchanging test papers, you can also ensure that no one drops out of your class.

At the same time, you can also be sure to get a reward of 200 points.

xxxxxxxxx

Here in Class A.

Sae checked her phone.

“I’m sorry to tell you. I just received an email from the school.”

“1st-year Class D has challenged Class B. And, Class C has declared war on you.”

“Because they are all decisions that do not overlap with each other.”

“So the class you’re going to play against has been decided. You can only fight against Class C!”

“How could this be—” The news instantly made the students, who had just started doing exercises to test their abilities in order to be assigned partners, furious.

But Hachiman rested his chin on his left hand.

He was absolutely certain that Katsuragi from Class C was incapable of making such a direct and quick decision.

So, probably the work of Sakayanagi.

This little loli has been left alone for a long time.

It’s time for her to take action.

As for Hiyori, she directly launched her attack on Class B.

Although Ryuen might not do it, she was very realistic at the time and probably chose to declare war on Class B.....

Her class is full of poor students, they will definitely fail the exam normally.

So, Hiyori can only take the test based on leaked questions.

As for such magic, she and Class B were helping each other.

However, if they compete with Class B, not only can they get the test papers to prevent students in their class from dropping out, they can even sell the scores for a good price.

Rather, Class D can only choose Class B. Now the class evaluation score is 0 and there is no money for food.

School is over in the afternoon.

“Do you want to help too? You’re pretty strong in Japanese?”

In the coffee shop, Suzune looked at the boy sitting next to her with some surprise.

Class C’s challenge to Class A has been accepted by the school and cannot be changed.

So even if they don’t want to, have to face off against Class A.

Then according to rules, students in Class A need to be given examination papers for 8 courses.

Although everyone has the freedom to make test papers, there are not many top students in Class.

Hirata also brought Suzune here.

But when she arrived at the agreed location, Suzune found a familiar person there.

This is Hikigaya Hachiman.

As a top student who studies for 10 hours every day, Horikita Suzune also knows Hachiman’s grades.

Know the other party’s strengths and weaknesses in each subject.

Then she discovered that other person’s Japanese score might be even higher than hers.

Just like how Wang Meiyu always gets full marks in English, Suzune thinks that she can also assign the Japanese test paper to Hachiman.

“Don’t wanna...” But Hachiman directly refused, ”I have already found my goal when I entered school. Anyway, Class D has been promoted to A, so I want to take this opportunity to relax.”

In order to lead these guys in Class D to A, Hachiman didn’t know how many brain cells he had exhausted.

What’s more, it is easy to conquer a country but difficult to keep it.

Hachiman can lead Class D to  A, but he doesn’t think it can maintain such grand position.

Even if he was there.

Moreover, Hachiman didn’t think the school would let Class D continue to stay in Class A’s place.

Just look at the scores of this exam.

He asked Kushida to find out the test scores of senior students during this period.

The conclusion - A pairing test at same time last year.

However, the test questions at that time were set by school, and rules were somewhat different from their current ones.

But score is only 50 points.

Winner takes 50 from the loser.

The school’s rejection of Class D has been confirmed.

In addition to this kind of examination, it is possible to take some other measures.

For example, the rule of deducting points for violations, which Hachiman originally thought had been abolished, may be quietly reactivated.

And if this is really the case, Class D has the ability to lose all points within a month.

Hachiman firmly believed this.

“If you’re not here to help, then why don’t you go away?” Suzune frowned, somewhat puzzled.

Because Hirata made an appointment with top students in Class A to meet here.

Then discuss how to formulate test paper.

After all, can’t rely on the poor students to make, so can only let a few of them with good grades do it.

So burden is also huge.

Even after four months, there has been some growth, and Suzune has finally learned to share her lunch boxes.

However, still needs to improve in getting along with others.

Otherwise, a sentence like ”If you are not here to help, then why don’t you go away?” is enough to end the friendship.

“I just came here to drink coffee.” Hachiman made no secret of his perverted intentions and said very seriously, “I don’t have many goals right now, so I want to enjoy some pure school time! And later on, I’m even going to go watch a movie!”

Suzune had not expected this kind of enjoyment of campus life and the freedom to do so.

“Speaking of which, more people are coming here to spend money.” Hachiman looked around and then nodded.

”Isn’t that a matter of course?” Suzune glanced at the others calmly and said in a normal voice, ”Because the points for this month have been distributed, except for Class D, the students in each have received more than 100,000 points, so it is natural they will be a little extravagant. However,”

Suzune paused, then narrowed her eyes as if quite even more confused, “But even so, after living in this school for about 4 months, I’m sure most students won’t dare to spend money carelessly anymore, right?”

“Maybe....” Hachiman dealt with it ambiguously, but he didn’t take it seriously in his heart.

If it were any other class, they would definitely save money, but students in his class would definitely go shopping, and even fall into the pit where they can spend all the hundreds of thousands of points in a month.

And the other classes.

Of course, Ryuen’s must be out of money.

Because he has no money to pay him back this month, Hachiman still has an IOU from Ryuen worth 8 million.

As for Class C, it was originally A.

The class was initially divided into the Katsuragi and the Sakayanagi faction, and both were similar in that, although they did not save money, would give points to their own representatives.

In other words.

This is one of the reasons why Sakayanagi is so rich and doesn’t have to worry about points.

She has many ways to gain.

Therefore, the points will be concentrated in the hands of Katsuragi or Sakayanagi.

Former has now transferred the rights of class representative to Sakayanagi, so the points will naturally be concentrated in her hands.

The real manifestation is...

After declaring war on his class today, Sakayanagi now seems to be even more extravagant.

The meal that Kamuro-san ordered for him was also more expensive.

Class B is Ichinose’s.

The atmosphere in Class B has always been very good, so they must have accumulated a considerable amount of wealth in the past few months.

Afraid everyone has more than 200,000 points.

And these points are very likely to go to Ichinose or Kanzaki.

Certainly, it’s not that Ichinose and the others forced them to collect the points, but probably after they realized the importance, started to take them seriously and save.

Improve the foundation and risk resistance of her class.

Although seems to be a good thing.

This was also the reason why Hachiman wanted to buy out the agreement with Class A that he had obtained from Ryuen at a lump sum price of 20 million yen from Sakayanagi.

It was just to squeeze the huge amount of points from girl.

Make her class lose ability to resist damage.

But he didn’t expect that class could be promoted to A so quickly.

Therefore, no reason to go against Sakayanagi Arisu anymore.

“Sorry to have kept you waiting, Horikita-san, Hikigaya-kun.”

At this time, a young man with short, light green hair walked in and looked at the two of them with a slightly apologetic look.

This is the gentle Hirata.

”No, we just arrived.”

Because his name was specifically called, Hachiman greeted the other person, and then saw the others following Hirata Yosuke, ”Wang Meiyu, Yukimura.”

Thin boy wearing glasses nodded slightly to show his friendliness.

If don’t count Hachiman, Koenji, and Ayanokoji, then Yukimura is actually boy with the highest IQ in the class.

At the same time, he also has a strong nose of class honor and is a top student.

He should have been pillar of the class.

It’s a pity that his halo was overshadowed by an even more shining halo.

As for Wang Meiyu, she is a petite girl with dark blue twin tails.

She is Kushida’s best friend.

She is very good at English.

It is rumoured that she has never scored less than 100 points on an English test paper.

Moreover, from Kushida’s usual complaints to vent her emotions, Hachiman can know that she seems to have a crush on Hirata Yosuke.

“To be honest, I thought at first that you, Hikigaya-kun, wouldn’t come just like Onodera-san.....” Hirata walked over with a chuckle, looking relieved. ”But it’s really great that you’re willing to help. In this case...”

“No, I think you misunderstood, Hirata-kun.” Before the other party could misunderstand, Hachiman quickly reached out to interrupt him and said, “I’m actually just here to drink coffee.”

“.....” Hirata-kun

“....” Suzune. ’This guy has no shame.’

But Hachiman seemed a little surprised, “Kushida didn’t come?”

Making test papers for the class, kind of “serving everyone” seems to be her daily mojo.
