Nagumo Miyabi is currently in front of the First Year students' small blackboard.
As a member of the school's Student Council, he has a considerable amount of authority, and also some responsibilities.
Just like this.
When students obtain Class evaluation points after each month's special exam, Student Council members need to update them in real-time.
It's just that when he got the data, he checked it twice in a row.
Because it's not yet one month after the First Year students enrolled, but because the Class evaluation points were announced early, the work for the First Year also had to be done now.
And the reason why the Class evaluation points were announced early is also very simple.
A student from Class D broke a camera, so the Class evaluation points had to be announced early, which was a gain for the First Year students.
Because in the past, the school rules and Class evaluation points were only announced after a month of behavioral assessment.
And one month was already enough for students to create a gap.
So now, an abnormal situation has appeared among the First Year students, and information that would only be known a month later was directly announced.
However, in just 6 days, the First Year has already formed a hierarchy of four Classes.
This year's First Year Class A is excellent, Class B's points were deducted by over a hundred in 6 days, which seems relatively normal, but Class C and Class D are extremely outrageous, having lost four hundred and five hundred points respectively in 6 days.
It's hard to imagine how many points they would have left after a normal month.
So, for Nagumo, Class D was very bad.
But now...
Horikita Manabu asked him to update the First Year students' Class evaluation points.
The previous data was:
First Year Class A: 996 points
First Year Class B: 834 points
First Year Class C: 611 points
Class D of Grade 1: 480 points
And the data provided now is:
First Year Class A: 995 points
First Year Class B: 800 points
First Year Class C: 110 points
Class D of Grade 1: 464 points
Hmm.
Because the First Year students are still under behavioral assessment, points will be deducted.
It's just that since they knew about the exam in advance, the other three Classes started paying attention and didn't lose many more points.
However, the points for First Year Class C are not right.
In other words, if he wasn't mistaken, then Class D of Grade 1 did nothing, but First Year Class C fell on its own.
In other words, a terrible Class like Class D of Grade 1 actually managed to climb up.
"President!"
This made Nagumo Miyabi unable to resist looking at Horikita Manabu.
Because this is very strange.
"What exactly happened?"
"I remember there was an incident where First Year Class C accused a student from Class D of Grade 1 of assault, right?"
"Could it be that the deduction here is because of that?" Nagumo Miyabi said in surprise.
At that time, he was in the Student Council, and that junior from Class D of Grade 1, named Hikigaya, even specifically brought his classmates to the Student Council to apply to use the bulletin board to look for eyewitnesses.
It's just that he remembered they didn't find anything then.
However, the result was that First Year Class C fell on its own.
Was there something he overlooked?
"That's where the deduction came from," Horikita Manabu said, pushing up his glasses. "First Year Class C was deducted 200 points for false accusation and deliberate fighting, and because it's a behavioral assessment, these 200 points will be doubled."
200 points doubled means 400 points were deducted. Plus, there were some daily deductions these past few days.
That's why this score appeared.
Then... it was actually because of false accusation?
Nagumo was a bit surprised, not only that the First Year had become so cunning, but also that the students of Class D of Grade 1 could discover it and even turn the tables on the other party!
...
On the other side.
At the Rooftop of the teaching building.
Blowing a cool breeze, Hachiman arrived at the Rooftop after Chabashira-sensei's notification.
As soon as he came up, he saw a mature woman in a white shirt and suit standing on one side.
What was striking was her profile, with fair skin, and it was clear she was in a good mood, her lips slightly curled up.
However, Chabashira probably noticed that Hachiman had arrived.
"First, congratulations to you all."
Chabashira then turned around and said.
The reason she said "you all" was because Hachiman had a little shadow following him, a girl with straight black hair and eyes like a fox's.
It was Horikita Suzune.
If one were to simply look at their aura, Chabashira had the feeling of a 'Big Horikita,' while Horikita also had the feeling of a 'Little Chabashira.'
It's just that.
Hachiman felt it was still different, because Chabashira-sensei might have learned to be smooth, but Horikita-san here was still a block of wood.
Although a truly strong person is solitary, Horikita could not be a strong person.
And if one is not strong enough, then one can only use smoothness as a weapon.
It's just a pity that Horikita-san still has a long way to go in this lesson.
"I received a notification from the School regarding the recently concluded trial. Class C will be deducted 400 Class evaluation points as punishment."
"At the same time, Sudo is innocent."
"And because the Student Council made the judgment, the new Class evaluation scores will probably be announced very soon."
"And once the data is announced, because the Class rankings are fluid, someone will quickly come to replace our Class plaque, and at the same time, starting today, you are also students of Class C."
In other words, the plan to advance to Class A, now because Class C itself dropped, and now Class D of Grade 1 has been promoted to Class C.
And this kind of thing is not common in the School, but succeeding in promotion in the first month is unique to this one.
It's just.
"You did very well this time, I'm surprised. But."
"Hikigaya, how did you do it?" Chabashira-sensei suddenly asked.
And Horikita also looked over.
Hachiman immediately felt their gaze.
Uh.
But.
How did he do it?
Chabashira-sensei, didn't you attend the trial and find out?
However, Hachiman also knew that Chabashira probably wanted to know how he set up such a trap for Ryuen of Class C and directly brought Class C down.
...
Yes.
Hachiman set up a trap for Ryuen.
And to tell the story, it started a week ago.
At that time, he and Sakura were curious about her sixth sense, she felt it was best not to go to the experimental teaching building that day.
And Hachiman always felt that Class A and Class C might have already teamed up, and Class C was known for its delinquents, so it was very likely that they would do something bad to Class D.
Just as he was thinking this, he and Sakura witnessed students from Class C, under Ryuen's command, deceiving Sudo.
At that time, Hachiman felt that this matter might come in handy.
But how to operate it specifically depended on how Ryuen would attack.
Because fighting, whether big or small, can actually be small. It's even possible for both sides to be equally at fault.
And Ryuen indeed attacked.
He used the method of proposing a trial to the Student Council and punishing Sudo.
He was the perpetrator but pretended to be the victim, and then hoped the Student Council would "adjudicate."
How bold.
However, Hachiman felt that Ryuen probably wanted to test the School's rules, to see how the School would deduct points even if this method was used.
Whether it was only Class D that would be deducted, or both sides, or even Class C, and so on.
So he indeed accepted Class A's commission, dragging other Classes, or even his own Class, down, trying to widen the score gap.
It's just that Ryuen, as the perpetrator, actually pretended to be the victim and then counter-sued Sudo for assault, so couldn't that be exploited?
Hachiman was surprised that the other party was so bold, so he would also be a bit bolder.
His goal was to be promoted to Class A, although with the current state of the Class, it could only be said that they could barely try to 'touch porcelain' a bit, they couldn't hold it.
But before that goal, then they had to first rush to Class C, Class B.
So Class C was Class D's primary target.
Then naturally... if they could pull the other party down, then they would seize the opportunity to pull the other party down.
Thus, the current result.
Although Ryuen chose to appeal to the Student Council, Hachiman here had Sakura's camera recording the truth of Class C's fight.
So it could be manipulated.
And Ryuen himself was too bold.
Not only did he set up a trap to frame Sudo, but he also pulled the Student Council into it.
So isn't this just giving it away for free?
Because it would trigger issues like misconduct and deceiving the Student Council.
Having interacted with Horikita's older brother, Hachiman believed that the Student Council President would also attach great importance to such matters.
So.
All that needed to be done was to present the evidence during the trial, clear Sudo's name, and at the same time, solidify Class C's charge of false accusation.
However, the trial was initiated by Ryuen, so Ryuen might also cancel it in advance.
Therefore, he couldn't let him cancel it, so he had to trick the other party.
That's why Hachiman suggested looking for eyewitnesses, then asked classmates for help, entrusted Ichinose's connections, and even borrowed the Student Council's bulletin board.
It had to be made to look legitimate.
And once Ryuen took the bait, bit the hook, couldn't it be dealt with?
It's just that these were all just theories, so they still needed practice.
So.
Time returned to the day Sudo's fight was announced by Chabashira-sensei, and Class C demanded a trial.
"I hope everyone trusts Sudo and goes to look for eyewitnesses."
He suggested this at the time.
He also entrusted Hirata to cooperate and mobilize all the students in the Class to act.
Of course, with Hirata's personality, he values his classmates very much, so he would definitely go all out.
Then he also invited Ichinose and her group out.
The atmosphere in Class B is very good, according to Kushida, there are many Little Angels there, all kind students, very easy to get along with.
But this also reflects that Ms. Kushida feels that some of her classmates are actually quite difficult to get along with.
For example, Kouenji, whom she deliberately mentioned earlier.
Hachiman instinctively felt that although Kushida seemed friendly to everyone, she seemed to dislike Kouenji quite a bit.
Kouenji was probably on Kushida's blacklist, and Hachiman felt that he and Horikita were also on her list.
It's just.
"Hehe..."
Hachiman and Kushida sat in the cafe, and Kushida probably thought Hachiman had just been looking at her, so she deliberately showed a cute smile.
And Horikita was sitting alone on one side, slightly frowning.
Rarely today, she wasn't holding a vocabulary book to recite.
It's just that there was nothing she could do, she didn't know anything, and then was told that Sudo fought and Class C demanded a trial. If this matter was confirmed, they would likely be heavily penalized, which for her and Hachiman, who wanted to be promoted, was simply a terrifying event.
So she was still frowning until now.
Hachiman glanced at her.
He had told Ichinose and Kanzaki that this month was the new students' behavior examination.
So this month, some operations could be carried out. For Class A, this was an opportunity to make other Classes fall.
Similarly, it was the same for Hachiman.
Ryuen was so high-profile in applying to the Student Council for a trial and involving the Student Council, and seizing this point could solidify Ryuen's charge of false accusation.
Then Class C would very likely fall in this behavior examination.
At the same time, Sudo's assault could also be fully utilized.
And now was the time to utilize it.
Thinking this, Hachiman glanced at Horikita. Horikita seemed to still be in thought, so he waved forward, and a girl with a good figure and long golden-pink hair and a boy with slightly curly purple hair appeared outside the cafe.
And when they saw Hachiman and his group, they quickened their pace.
Kanzaki was a bit reserved, but Ichinose was quite outgoing.
"Hikigaya, Horikita, Ms. Kushida!"
Although they had only met once, Ichinose remembered all their information completely.
"Ichinose, regarding our Class's Sudo assault incident..." And after calling Ichinose over, Hachiman looked at Kushida.
Kushida then explained the course of events to Ichinose and her group.
"I see... and people from Class C..." Ichinose nodded, "If our Class B can help, then we'll also look for clues."
"Really? Thank you..." And Kushida proactively took Ichinose's hand.
And Hachiman watched Kushida's actions.
Because, Kushida, wasn't holding his hand the only one?
He felt a little cheap.
Of course, this might also mean he couldn't become an important person to Kushida and was treated normally.
His mood was a bit subtle.
However.
Hachiman invited Ichinose and her group out not just to ask them to help find eyewitnesses.
"Ichinose, I think you need to be careful," Hachiman said. "I believe in my classmates."
"So, Sudo's assault, I think it's an attack from Class C."
Uh.
So, Class D is already bearing the risk for them?
Kanzaki and Ichinose exchanged glances, then Kanzaki said, "Then what do you want us to do?"
"You just need to try your best to find eyewitnesses," Hachiman said. "And this time, your Class owes us a favor."
In other words, even though they've allied, making the students of Class B feel a slight sense of guilt will make them work harder when they are needed.
This isn't a glorious method.
But it's necessary.
When Hachiman was in Class, he found that there were so many poor students, and then he thought… once they encounter an exam related to academic ability, then… they will definitely need the help of Class B.
Thus.
This can also be considered multiple uses for the Sudo incident.
But.
"This time, I owe you a favor, Hikigaya-kun," Ichinose said instead.
And these words made Hachiman look over.
Because.
It's clearly a Class matter, but Ichinose, you want to repay it with a personal favor.
Does this mean that in your heart, the Class is more important than yourself?
