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

Same test questions were also notified to other second-year students.

Grade 2 Class C here.

“If you finish on time, you can get 100 points for evaluation, but if you exceed the time limit, you will lose 300 points.”

For a class full of little angels, punishment for this kind of exam is a bit overwhelming.

Especially since everyone’s goal is still to graduate in Class A.

“Ichinose, I really hope you start to grow up and stop dreaming....” Kanzaki noticed that Ichinose seemed to have been frowning since Teacher Hoshinomiya Chie announced the rules.

“I wonder if there are any excessive requirements in five questions. For example, just like last year, we were asked to vote to expel someone from school,” Ichinose directly asked a painful topic.

Ah this....

This is her way of thinking.

Rather than thinking about scoring points, protect classmates.

This was something that Student Council President Horikita Manabu had accomplished in the past, not only maintaining Class A, but also bringing all the students to graduation.

But even Kanzaki discovered this was an extremely difficult and horny road.

Then, if you put your classmates first, you will lose some points that you could have earned.

So it’s difficult to breathe.

“Sensei, can expulsion protection quota be effective in this exam?”

???

Oh, it’s Himeno Yuki!

“• •” People stared at her face with no emotions behind.



“What? Can’t I ask questions? Or this right only belong to Ichinose-san?”

To be said, girl is worthy of being a cold flower duplicate of Suzune, moment she opened her mouth, directly offended many people who actually worships Ichinose Honami!

“Oye, Himeno-san, aren’t you being too rude?!”

She ignored many complaints like that, and face directly turned in direction of teacher, “Can you answer my question?”

“💢”

“.... It’s okay. Yuki-chan only wants to help our class. She is asking a good topic, I also want to know about this!” Ichinose looked very embarrassed after being pointed out like this in a bad light.

In fact, she also doesn’t know what to do, because ever since 2nd year started, Himeno Yuki is always like this whether in class or social outings.

It’s like she just let the water go now.

“We don’t know the specific contents of exam either. But what we can confirm is that Protection quota will take effect in this exam.”

Of course it will work!

“I will leave school this month, and also be responsible for dealing with the troubles I caused.”

“Including the protection quota that was launched last year because of my unauthorized claim.”

This was what Tsukishiro said.

Therefore, Acting Chairman wants to remove the protective titles of four classes.

As for without protected quota...then perhaps only option left is for students to drop out.

Many girls gave Himeno a look of contempt, for opening a painful scar.

But she was pretty cool, her grades top class, physical fitness more than average, ask good questions related to special exams in class, help a little bit where she can, then let her mouth run cold.

That’s right, she is not afraid of these random people voting her out who has shown no merits of own!

Their class lost to Ryuen in Commander exam, so Ichinose’s protective quota was removed.

hehe~

No wonder, people thought Himeno was targeting Ichinose, in fact she really was doing it on purpose!

Take revenge for giving her a headache dealing with your meetings!

Now there is an exam that requires people to drop out, doesn’t their class have any other choice but to spend 20 million private points to protect this student?

At end of the treasure hunt, class received a reward of around 4 million, which was very exciting.

Himeno Yuki was part of that question solving group! So fuck these guys, who have complains about her personality!

She is a real introvert from another world!

Then class’s assets also reached an astonishing 13 million.

Looks amazing.

As a result, have to take it out again for this exam, and then even... will be in debt again?

Because only 20 million can offset penalty of dropping out of school once.

“.....” Kanzaki Ryuji first looked at Himeno Yuki with a blank face, and changed towards Ichinose again.

Initially he felt that Ichinose was not in a good state, now he also became extremely depressed.

He recalled that during Commander’s Tower exam, he was a spy and gave Ryuen an opportunity to take advantage of him.

Then he hoped to warn his classmates not to be naive, but there was a price to pay.

He lost the exam, and then Ichinose also lost protection quota that could save her from expulsion.

But putting it here...if we don’t give Ryuen’s class a chance, then Ichinose’s protection will still be there, so it is possible to save these 20 million points.

Therefore, he became sinner of the class again?

Kanzaki-kun silently kept the mask of pain on with his left hand inserted into his hair.

hahah!!

As for Class 2A.

Teacher Mashima finished announcing the rules for this exam.

Then he waited for students’ reactions. According to past experience, if Sakayanagi took lead, would be over quickly.

That is indeed case this time.

“Well, the exam rules have been announced. I cannot rule out questions related to expulsion. And to prevent any confusion at that time, I have decided to choose one student to drop out. Then other students don’t need to worry.”

....what did you just said?

Is this feeling of horror?

“There are five questions in total, and we will discuss them all. So, I’ll deal with it later. You can do whatever you want from now on.”

“Why…why is this happening——”

There was panic in Class A of Grade 2.

Because Princess Sakayanagi has made her decision. As long as the exam question includes the option of abandoning classmates, she will definitely choose it.

There is also a possibility that I will be abandoned by the little princess.

“…” Sitting in his seat, Hashimoto’s heart couldn’t stop beating.

Because he remembered that he had made little princess angry during exam on the uninhabited island.

Fortunately, he made amends in time, so now he would probably be the one to be expelled.

’Why are there so many dropouts in this school? It’s really annoying!’ Hashimoto thought that he might as well contact Hikigaya to increase his chances of being kept.

It’s time for lunch break.

This month’s special exam will be held tomorrow, and students are somewhat absent-minded.

Came to 3rd floor.

Today, Sakayanagi-san didn’t take the initiative to invite him to lunch, and Hikigaya-kun is thick-skinned now, so he won’t take the initiative to approach her.

Received a message from Hashimoto, who seemed to want to treat him to a meal.

But it would be weird for two boys to eat together, so Hikigaya-kun refused.

Today is special exam and it has just been announced that Hashimoto has contacted him. It might be a trap.

After all, he had some points in hand, so there was no need to mistreat himself, so Hachiman went to more expensive 3rd floor to dine.

While he was lining up, he noticed that a young female faculty member in front of him seemed a little absent-minded too.

The reason was that other party didn’t notice and stepped on him.

’Aaaah! This feeling, I can finally rest with peace of mind now!’

“Oh, Hikigaya. It’s you.” Maybe because of the feeling on her feet, other party realized her impolite behavior just now, so she apologized.

Chabashira-sensei, you should have apologized honestly at this time instead of saying, “Oh, Hikigaya, it turned out to be you.”

It sounds like since they are familiar with each other, no need to apologize.

Chabashira still looked a little absent-minded, but she noticed that Hachiman seemed to be looking at his own shoes with some surprise.

Um....There was a shoe print on it, was obviously her masterpiece.

But she doesn’t like to owe others things.

“I stepped on you. If you are not happy, step back...” However, Chabashira stopped talking as she found that instep of her left high-heeled shoe, was stepped on quickly.

“That’s it, we’re even now.” Hikigaya said as he retracted his own foot, “You said so, I’ll step back if you’re not happy with me.”

“.....” This made Chabashira suddenly wake up from her dazed state, cause obvious shoe prints on Hachiman’s right, and left of her own.

What a pair!

“No one has invited me to dinner today, but Chabashira-sensei will treat me, right?”

“.....” Sae-chan opened her mouth, but didn’t know what to say anymore, so only her lips moved and nothing else.

This is how it happened when Kamuro-san felt that she didn’t need to queue up to get food for Hikigaya today, and her workload was halved.

She was in a good mood, and saw Chabashira waiting in line in front of her, and discovered that dishes ordered by her were actually the same ones she had prepared for Hikigaya in the past.

“• ? •” Kamuro-san felt incredible.
