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

There are still more than 10 minutes before results are announced.

Hachiman has returned to his class.

Grade 2, Class D.

As soon as he was brought back by Hiyori, was surrounded by his classmates.

For students, there is an inexplicable anxiety, just like wanting to know results after the exam.

Because to them, Hikigaya-kun had just joined.

Then we signed the agreement. So now, is result you see on the tablet the final?

In other words, some of them find it hard to believe.

”Hey, Hikigaya, are we really going to get +412 points?”

”Don’t lie to us!”

“So, we don’t have to worry about eating?”

Words like this are heard endlessly.

Because the first place was held by Koenji and Albert, who carried Trial Item Card, so in the end 300 goes to Hachiman.

Ryuen and his team were in third place. Even he also brought a Trial item card, so he could get 112.5 points.

So total is 412.5 points.

Adding original 300 points, will their class evaluation score return to over 700?

Many random faces thought it would take at least two or three months for Hikigaya-kun to lead people to get the full 500 points.

As a result, achieved it in this exam.

Moreover, gap with Class C was shortened at once.

In other words, maybe they will be able to get back their original position in Class C soon!

“If you’re saying 412, you’re probably wrong. You have to trust Ryuen a little more.”

Ryuen was originally standing in the front row, but he turned around when he heard Hikigaya’s voice.

“Trust Ryuen’s vision. He spent so much money to buy me here, not just to weaken Class C. The command of this exam is in my hands, and I said when I come to your class, I will make sure you can maintain a stable score of more than 500 points.”

“.....” Ryuen wanted to curse.

This b is bragging about himself.

However, Ryuen felt somewhat fortunate, because this bastard was still the same as before and understood him very well.

If he is an enemy, then fact that he is so crazy now must be risky.

But Hikigaya did not interfere this time, which means that he will not fail in exam again.

Hikigaya squatted down and wrote the class’s score on beach.

“We can probably get around 500 points in this exam.”

Only top three are relevant to the class evaluation scores.

The last place has been taken up by Class D of Grade 1.

As for Top three.

Albert and Koenji took first place, but because prize had to be divided evenly among number of participating classes, they could only get 200 points, but by stacking Trial cards, they could get 300 points.

The 412 points that classmates thought of should be due to fact that Ryuen got third place, so class could get 112 points.

But Hikigaya-kun doesn’t think so.

So he wrote it down in sand.

Ryuen Kakeru + Katsuragi are 2nd.

The reward for second place is 300 points, and half of that is 150 points.

However, Ryuen got Trial card that Ayanokoji-kun resold, so he can get 225 points at once.

Score of Class D in Grade 2 is 300+225=525 points.

“But isn’t Ryuen 3rd? That’s what it says on the tablet,” Ibuki, who was squatting on beach, was a little bit unbelievable.

“It’s second place, and you will know reason later.”

“Hachi...um, Hikigaya-kun,” While said person and others were squatting on the ground, two students arrived.

A man and a woman.

This is Kanzaki Ryuji, the slightly curly purple-haired student, and Hachiman’s potential marriage partner, Ichinose Honami, who looks like an archangel.

Ichinose greeted him, and Kanzaki nodded at him a little shyly.

“It seems like you all held on well,” Hachiman obviously praised her.

After exam this time, not many students remained on beach. There are at most twenty people left in a class.

So now it seems that classes with the largest number of students are 2A and Class 2D.

“Yeah.” As representative, Ichinose was in a delicate mood.

Both she and Kanzaki saw the number Hikigaya-kun had just written on the beach.

Class D of Grade 2 will get 525 points in this exam.

According to Hikigaya’s algorithm.

Then Class A of Grade 2 will also get 300 points.

So it becomes...

Grade 2

Class A (Sakayanagi) 1805 points

Class B (Ichinose) 1248.1 points

Class C (Horikita) 1355.7 points

Class D (Ryuen) 825 points

It can be said that Class A is even further away.

At same time, due to stable development of Koenji, Class C was carried away again, and Ichinose who had just returned to Class B but were about to lose it again.

What really shocked them was that...Hikigaya-kun once told her that he wanted to join her class.

But she didn’t have enough points to buy him over.

Ryuen’s class did it, and look Hikigaya suddenly brought more than 500 points to Class D.

’It feels like... there was a great opportunity right in front of me, but before I could grab it, it was taken away by someone else.’ Ichinose felt like she lost a very precious....

“Ah, Ichinose-san, you’re here too.” Sakayanagi, led students of Class A to arrive late, but although it was late, it was shocking.

Because after 14 days of assessment, no student in Class A of Grade 2 fell behind.

All are there.

It seems to have largest number of people, but also best order.

“President Sakayanagi.” Ichinose greeted trying her best not to show her sour mood.

“Well, you can just call me Sakayanagi-san,” President seemed quite friendly, “After all, we are friends.”

’Obviously, when she was talking to her Isshiki, Sakayanagi interrupted and said that she was still looking for friends. So now you consider Ichinose a friend again? Can you be so flexible?’

However, Hachiman couldn’t guess what a girl was thinking, so he chose to pretend he didn’t hear it.

However, it can be said this time second-grade exam’s second biggest winner, the biggest loser, and then the biggest winner met here.

Ichinose’s class gained nothing in this exam and even lost their place in Class B. Biggest loser.

Since Grade 2 Class C at least has Koenji and scored 200 points, they can continue to climb to Class B for a while.

It’s a small win.

Sakayanagi’s class won big.

Because of convenience store, after inventory, they made a net profit of 27 million.

As class representative, it wouldn’t be too much for Sakayanagi to just take half.

She likes to split the profits 50-50. No one objected to this.

Because following Sakayanagi means you can really get some meat to eat.

In addition, in this exam, Ryuen and Katsuragi’s team won second place, which can bring 300 points to the class.

So it’s a way to make money and earn points, and once again widen the gap with the lower classes, steady!

Although it was Katsuragi who was assigned to do work, what everyone saw was command from President Sakayanagi.

Even Katsuragi himself felt that this result was worthy of his efforts over the past few days.

The loss of points in exam on the uninhabited island last year caused him a psychological burden.

Now he has regained 300 points for class, which finally makes up for it.

Therefore, in this exam, Class A of Grade 2 won a big victory.

But real winners, Hikigaya-kun and everyone in Ryuen’s class remained polite, with stupid grin on face.

“....” Hosen.

There were only 16 students left in 1st-year Class D.

In each group, only one person was left to take exam, and others gave up first.

But he felt something was wrong.

What happened to 2nd graders? He took out his tablet and confirmed again.

That’s right. Hosen ranks second.

As a result, senior grades counted Ryuen’s 3rd as 2nd place.

Hosen felt even more confused.

Class A, Grade 1.

“Our class failed to score any points this time. But not losing is also an acceptable result,” Yukinoshita was comforting people in her class.

It makes you feel speechless, as if you are hurting them on purpose by rubbing old wounds.

This was not comforting at all!

Of 40 students in class, only 25 remain.

For them as freshmen, this exam is indeed very stressful.

“But……”

Yukino stood alone and looked in the direction of the ship. After helping Isshiki from Class C to secure 10th place in the morning, Amasawa chose to forfeit.

Without waiting for test results, she returned to the ship to rest. It seemed that you wanted to do something.

Grade 1 Class B here.

“Yagami, that bastard!”

“I’ll pain’ my room with his blood!”

People were very angry.

At the beginning, Yagami was quite popular in Class B, and was even vaguely regarded as representative.

However, Class B got nothing in these two exams, and Yagami seemed to be besieged by seniors, who thought he was the bad guy who attacked the students.

As classmates, they shouldn’t doubt such things and should stand on Yagami’s side.

However, Yagami was thought to be a stalker of Kushida-senpai last month.

Therefore, with existence of negative factors, probability of listing him as a suspect is very high.

And once this kind of thing is true, reputation of Class B in Grade 1 will be ruined.

It’s a pity that Yagami is not here now, as he gave up a long time ago.

This behaviour is perverted.

Class C, Grade 1.

“….” Utomiya stood at front of the line of boys from Class C.

On the girls’ team side, person standing in the front row is Tsubaki Sakurako.

There were only three students left in their class’s team.

Utomiya, Tsubaki Sakurako, and there’s Iroha Isshiki who has short brown hair.

It’s not that classmates gave up because of one reason or another and couldn’t support it.

Instead, after confirming their classmates’ grades, Utomiya arranged for them to give up one after another starting from the day before yesterday.

As long as no one drops out, rankings of others are not important, or they can’t even climb into the top three.

So it’s better to return to ship early and enjoy the vacation time.

After all, he will be responsible for 3rd place. That’s what it says.

“The tablet shows that Hosen is really in second place. But I told my classmates that I would get third place. But now only fourth....”

Utomiya is the class representative, but the credibility also needs to be established.

Therefore, arranging students to rest early is also a way to win people’s hearts.

So, if he showed his strength...it was perfect. But only big talk was made and it didn’t come true.

So he looked at the girl next to him, Tsubaki Sakurako in front row, who got a lollipop from somewhere and ate it nonchalantly.

However, she also noticed Utomiya-kun’s dark expression.

So she explained.

“Don’t worry, your reputation won’t be damaged. Everything went as planned, or rather, Hosen got the second place as planned.”

In other words, when Hosen first discovered that it was easy to gain points, he came to Utomiya to trade.

At that time, Utomiya did not immediately respond to Hosen but reached an agreement the next day.

Among them, he went to Tsubaki Sakurako in middle of the night to get her opinion and suggestions, and then made a deal with Hosen.

Now he won second place, and Hosen’s class became a subsidiary of C.

Then Class C will pay half of the points to D until graduation.

“Then he was finished. This time, Ayanokoji-senpai gave up the exam early, which prevented Hosen from using the one-for-one plan against him. It means that Hosen might stay in school. This is not good for us who want to be promoted. So we have to lure him in, flatter him, make him dazzling, and then we don’t have to do anything, we can just watch him get expelled from school.”



Lick! Lick!

Your actions are so cute.

“Because...Just look at 3rd place and you will know.”

The third place is Ryūen Kakeru + Ishizaki Daichi + Katsuragi Kohei + Kito Hayabusa.

Because last month, Hosen went to provoke Hikigaya-senpai’s class, and then got into a fight with Ryuen, and class lost a lot of points.

However, it was also revealed that Hosen and Ryuen knew each other and were from the same place.

Hostility towards each other.

If Hosen rushed forward so arrogantly, then Senior Ryuen would definitely not be able to sit still.

Therefore, for both emotional and rational reasons, and for both public and private reasons, Ryuen would have to get rid of Hosen.

So they really just have to watch.

Tsubaki Sakurako wants Hosen to drop out of school. And if he dropped out of school, then...

Utomiya held tablet.

Currently ranked fourth, and if Hosen is eliminated, it can move up once.

So, 3rd. Everything is under control.

Utomiya nodded to Tsubaki and stopped talking.

There was an innocent bystander at the scene.

“…..” Observe.

“.....” Listening quietly.

“…” ’Ah, so my observation skills are not as bad as before?’

Standing in girls’ team, or in other words, only 3 students in Class C, Isshiki Iroha was standing behind Tsubaki Sakurako.

She noticed that two classmates were chatting as if she was not around.

It was only then Isshiki realized that Tsubaki Sakurako, who she thought had a low sense of existence and no friends, was actually... girl easily controlled Utomiya.

’In other words, although Utomiya-kun looks smart, he is actually just a tool for Tsubaki Sakurako? Is it possible that most inconspicuous person in class turns out to be the strongest?!’

Isshiki felt that she had received incredible news.
