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

Chapter 19



"But the first month of admission is the customary code of conduct test, and then shouldn't they announce the results on the 1st of the next month?" Kamuro-san said quickly, she didn't think it was a matter to joke about.

"So why does the school announce it in advance?"

"Because of emergencies, such as cameras being damaged class evaluation scores will be deducted. Once this happens, the Student council will have to update it as part of their responsibilities."

"The administration of our school is the staff, and the other is student council. They are two different systems, but both parties have great authority."

"Sometimes the student council can even intervene in the special exams every month."
  
"Especially, President Horikita. He is still the kind of person who is quite upright and enforces the law impartially. So, when he finds that he needs to punish people, he will take action..... Then it is natural to announce the evaluation scores of the four classes in a timely manner."

"So, this is why Hikigaya-kun went to the student council to get a consultation."

"He wants to make the score values public by deducting points himself. This man is really.... evil."

"But Katsuragi-kun in our class didn't take it to heart at all,” Sakayanagi pouted cutely, her cherry- coloured lips pursued.
  
It seems that she is beginning to doubt the strength of her classmates.
  
Because if Katsuragi is really stable enough and hears that Hikigaya is going to do such a painful thing, then he will have to be more cautious.

Rather than becoming a situation where everyone is passive.
  
Only. "Ah...it's like this...then what should we do!!" Kamuro-san finally reacted and felt like she was about to explode.
  
Because she is also an ordinary Class A student.
  
"Just serve it cold like this." But Sakayanagi had already gained her composure, there's no need to do anything, “At this point, there is no other choice but to accept it, and our class will not lose.....After all, even if we know the test questions, some people will still fail, right?"

"So, what we need to worry about is Class B. Their strength is closest to our class." She seemed to be giving a solution, obviously in a good mood.
  
But then suddenly laughed again. Kamuro-san again thought rudely that she should do a checkup in the school hospital or something.
  
"If it really becomes like this, then I will be interested in the so-called class confrontation."
  
"Before, I was frustrated because my opponent was too weak, but now, I am getting a little excited!"

"During my lunch break, I was thinking, 'What do you mean  Hikigaya-kun by directly declaring war on us?' The result is this..."

"He really brought some colour to my campus life."

"But how's he going to deal with the remaining 20 days of this month?"
  
"Because as I said, even if the students in his class are notified of the open-book exam, some will still fail."

So. The day after the conversation between Sakayanagi Arisu and Kamuro-san.
  

During the lunch break, a new announcement was posted on the Student Council's bulletin board.

At the same time.

The first-year students were surprised to find that the student council members wearing armbands went to their first-year teaching building and wrote some strange words on the small, blank blackboard with a low sense of presence.

  First-grade Class A 996 points;
  First-grade Class B 834 points;
  First-grade Class C 611 points;
  First-grade Class D 530 points.
  
However, it was quickly supplemented, and the score of 530 points for First-grade Class D was crossed out and decreased -50 points.
  
The final score for Class D, the first grade, was corrected to 480 points.

On the other side, the bulletin board also explained the 50-point deduction for first-year Class D in the name of the Student council.

  [Hikigaya Hachiman, first-year class D, was punished by the student council by deducting 50 points from the class evaluation score for destroying the school’s camera.

  I hope you will learn from this and not do it again.
  Student Council Announcement]

Then. First grade... exploded.

___________

The first grade really exploded.
  
Today is the sixth day of enrollment for new students.
  
Most freshmen are still immersed in the fantasy that the school is great, with free tuition, accommodation, free living expenses, and direct admission after graduation.

It is simply paradise, and they hope to have a good campus life here.

As a result, now they suddenly got a confused look.
 
The first person to notice the members of the student council coming to the lower grade teaching building was Katsuragi from Class A, the first grade.

Yesterday, he and Yahiko went to the student council to submit an application for membership.

They has great authority and can sometimes even represent the school.

From what he learned from senior students in arranging students to join clubs, the student council president even has the power to directly intervene in special examinations.

This is really uncool! Because the essence of this school requires students to compete with each other on a class basis.

The specific way to achieve this is to pass special examinations again and again.

Then obtain the scores, among which students who can maintain their Class A status when graduating in the third grade will graduate on behalf of the school.

Then he won a series of awards from the school. Reach the pinnacle of life.

So after discovering this, Katsuragi targeted the position of the student council.

He doesn't need to become the student council president, but as long as he becomes a member, can get more information. 'Then maybe serve my own class?!'

'Of course, I might also be able to compete for the position of president at that time.' Because the president is also a student and will graduate.

So, joining the student council in advance may help him seize the opportunity.

Katsuragi is a steady man.

So, when he found out that the student council president Horikita Manabu came to the lower grades during lunch break, he immediately paid attention.

Now. He was among the crowd of freshmen watching the operations of the student council members.

Found that the president himself was writing on the small blackboard next to the bulletin board.

  First-grade Class A 996 points;
  First-grade Class B 834 points;
  First-grade Class C 611 points;
  First-grade Class D 530 points

Well...he knows this value. Know that it represents the evaluation scores of the four classes.

The ranking of classes in this school is fluid, and only the class evaluation score is the only criterion for class ranking.
  
Whoever's class evaluation score exceeds Class A will be crowned as the new Class A.
  
In the same way, if the original Class A is surpassed by other classes, it will fall down.

  
After learning about the criteria for class evaluation scores from his homeroom teacher, Mashima-sensei, he and Yahiko went to investigate.

The two went to the first floor of the second and third grade students and saw the small blackboard and the numerical values on it.
  
It was confirmed that the second and third grade students were indeed competing in this area.
  
Among them, Class A can always distance itself from the classes behind it.

Just like it is now.
 
Class A of the first grade was very outstanding, with only 4 points deducted out of the basic 1,000 points.
  
This is a reasonable result, but it is also an incredible result.
  
Because it was a sudden reaction.

According to the news, not until the end of the month, that is, on the 1st of next month, will the points deducted from the code of conduct for the four classes be announced for the entire month.

Is it worth it? And now.
  
'Why the fuck was it announced directly?!' Did the exam end early, or did the chairman have a stroke?

____________

And here is Class B, first grade.
  
Students in Class B also heard that members of the student council came to the bulletin board to fill in data.

"Ichinose-san..."
  
Coming down from upstairs together with the students from Class B was a cute girl with short blond hair.

This is a girl from Class D of the first grade, Kushida Kikyo. She is very popular and has a strong affinity.

And has recently started to penetrate students from other classes. (without even using her special trick?)

Or rather, not just contact, she has actually become friends with Ichinose Honami, a first-year class B student.

It should be said that Kushida-san actually prefers to interact with students from outside.
  
Because the students in Class B are of high quality, almost like little angels per capita, kind, simple, and optimistic, like winners in life.

The atmosphere among the students in Class B is very good.

Even though it was only a few days, the students in Class B spontaneously trusted the same student.

In other words, it is similar to the central figure in the class.

That is Honami Ichinose. She has long strawberry-blonde hair, beautiful facial features, and a great figure.

But what's most noteworthy is her approachability.
  
Kushida-san already thinks that her affinity is at its maximum, but she still feels that she is slightly inferior to Ichinose.
  
It's only been less than a week since school started, but the number of the other party's friends already exceeds 50.

'This is really unpleasant!' Of course, she and Ichinose have now become secret agents.

So it can be regarded as a place where you can comfort yourself.

"This is..."

Honami Ichinose from Class B stared at the small blackboard filled in by the student council.

She saw her first-grade Class B score 834.
  
"This is..." And she noticed that Kushida-san was reading the information on the bulletin board.

Bulletin board? She also looked over quickly.

Then she also found the information on the bulletin board.

Hikigaya Hachiman, Class D of the first grade, was deducted 50 points from class evaluation for destroying the camera.

"This school..."

"Maybe it's really not simple." Ichinose muttered to herself, but an invader, Kushida-san, has already heard it very clearly. he~he
  
In other words, although she didn't say it out loud, she also felt that there were various things in the school that needed to be taken care of.

___________

And Class C, first grade.

There were no first-year Class C students present.

Um. Class C of the first grade is still in the process of gathering itself.

So, it is obviously the class closest to the bulletin board, but not many people pay attention there.

And now, in the toilet.

"Ryuen, you are so fucking shameless!"
  
"Shut up! You have no choice but to obey me!"

The man with a red middle-parted hairstyle directly pressed the neck of the man who was shouting at him, and pressed the other person against the wall.
  
This is Ryuen Sho, from Class C of the first grade.

After coming to this school, he discovered that the school gives students such generous rewards.

He came up with his own, and was a delinquent in junior high school.

And now. They are also using gangster methods - violence to confiscate classes.

He is very good at smashing balls, but it is useless if he does it alone, so Ryuen aims at the one who can hit best in the class.

Albert.
  
He is 2 meters tall, mixed race, very strong, looks like a Big Mac, and the opponent's strength is also real.

Of course, Ryuen was defeated by the opponent the next day, but that didn't matter.

He used harassment tactics, harassing Albert in various ways, and even attacked the opponent when he was going to the toilet.

And now. Already desperate, Albert followed Ryuen's orders.

And now, the said person is leading him to gather the boys in the class.

As for the girls... hmm, when half the boys in the class have been confiscated, do they have any other choice?

In Class C of the first grade, Ryuen Sho will be the only one to speak.

_________

And the other side. Rooftop of the teaching building.
 
There are two benches here, one of which is shaded, and Hachiman remembers that Sakayanagi Arisu was sitting here before.

But Hachiman didn’t come here just to sit on the bench where Sakayanagi's heart was traumatised and bullied by the other party.

Thrown directly under the sun. But now there were three people at the scene. No chance to escape. 'I'm not on the rooftop, you asshole!' Indeed.
  

They are Hikigaya Hachiman, the homeroom teacher Chabashira Sae, and then there is the black-haired fox-eyed girl who is standing on the rooftop with her left hand on the elbow of the right one.

Then looking down at the crowd on the other side of the bulletin board.

Horikita Suzune. The three people who want to climb up to Class A meet here.

Chabashira-sensei folded her hands and looked down from above. Members of the student council have already left.
  
"What an incredible operation." Sae commented, quite amazed by this situation.
  
"Due to the punishment that requires intervention by the student council, the scores that were originally supposed to be announced next month are now revealed."

"There is nothing we can do about it," Hachiman said, opening his hands, he was still a good person, "If we don't intervene now, then according to normal procedures, our class's evaluation score will be reduced to 0 on the 1st of next month, and there will still be no negative points."

“....” X2

But this casual mention made the two girls present silent at the same time.
  
As the class teacher, Sae Chabashira can check the score deductions in the class every day.

As for Horikita Suzune, she is probably the only one in the class who has not had her points deducted.

Although she cannot confirm the specific items and the points deducted, she has no hope for the students in this class.  

At the beginning, the four classes all scored 1,000 points, which was barely the same starting point.

But once the 1000 points turn directly into 0 in one month, let alone promotion to A, I am afraid that even reaching Class C is a pipe dream.

"So what are you going to do next?" Chabashira-sensei glanced at Horikita, then looked at Hachiman and said, "..I can't give you more than what I am authorized to provide."

'In other words, within the scope of this, you will fully cooperate, right?'
Hachiman thought to himself. 

"On the one hand, I will report to you the progress of the mission and tell you that I am completing the agreement well.”

"Then you are so good." Chabashira seemed to praise him.

'But no, Chabashira-sensei!' Hachiman will choose to bring Horikita here to let her confirm that he's really on the side of promotion.

After confirming this common goal, she will probably be more willing to work and assist him.

Hachiman doesn't think he's strong enough to do everything alone, so if someone helps him, it will be more convenient and the success rate will increase a lot.

"What about the second aspect?" Chabashira decided to ask what the other thing was. She was really curious about what he's going to do next.
  
"I'm just waiting for you to receive the notification from the school." Hachiman also didn't disappoint.

"My actions have exposed the evaluation scores of the four classes in advance, so the school will definitely take measures."

"The method can be to terminate the special examination for the first month of the freshmen in advance. Then Class D can get these 480 points. This is the most desired result."

"Of course. The school may also continue the assessment. And this is very painful. And if it is the latter, if you want to continue the exam, then I have to make some arrangements."

Saying this, He paused, obviously feeling quite stressed, because if his classmates weren't dumb like a pig, it wouldn't have happened, “After all, this exam is....too stressful for our class."

Of course, it is! All three of them had no opinion on this point.

Because if they do nothing, the students in Class D will lose all their points.

Too cruel. From the beginning, there was nearly a thousand points difference between Class A, who already knew the exam rules.

How to pursue this? So we have to lay down the basics.

If the school ends this code of conduct exam early, this goal can be achieved.

"It stands to reason that the gap between the four classes revealed now is almost the same as in previous years."

"The gap between Class A and Class B is more than 100 points, while the gap between Class C and Class D is three to four hundred points between the upper class." And the scores released are real-time scores.

  First-grade Class A 996 points;
  First-grade Class B 834 points;
  First-grade Class C 611 points;
  First-grade Class D 480 points.

The distance between them barely matched the situation in previous years.

"But." Chabashira added. "This year's Class A is so outstanding."

That's right. Only 4 points were deducted after 6 days. What a monster!

But everyone also knows whether Chabashira has anything to say.
  
That’s because Class D is too shit compared to the past.

Because. It is now the sixth day of enrollment, and Class D only has 480 points left.

So if they do nothing, then the score of Class D in this session will be 0 points in the first month.
  
Both Hachiman and Horikita Suzune are paying attention to Chabashira-sensei.
  
Sae felt that she was also feeling pressure at this moment.

"Beep!" At this moment, she looked at the phone with all her attention scanning every single detail.

Her brows furrowed slightly. "The school has sent us new orders.”
  
"Instructions have been issued for the homeroom teachers of the four first-grade classes to inform the students of the school's rules. However, the conduct assessment will continue this month." Saying this, she looked at her two famous students, Hachiman and Horikita, the ghost couple of Class D.

"Unfortunately, our wish didn't come true."
  
"The school is not satisfied with the score situation that has been revealed. Instead, it has decided to carry out the first month's code of conduct assessment to the end."

"In other words, although your operation exposed class evaluation scores in advance, but the school just treated the incident as an emergency,"
Chabashira was also quite displeased, it would be much better, if the school just put a seal on it.
  
"And they have a very bad impression of Class D."

Same. A student in Class D was deducted points by the student council for destroying a camera.

The responsibility of the Student council is to announce the results after deducting the scores.

Literally speaking, the school will not think about whether the student did it intentionally or whether he had discovered the true nature of the school and then took the initiative to do such a thing.

"So is there any other information?" Hachiman asked.
  
"Yes." Sensei, nodded her head. There's no need to hide anything from her hard-working employee, "The conduct exams are also allowed to be announced."
  
"The school allows teachers to list the assessment items."
  
"But the specific deduction points will not be listed."

Oh That's it. 'Then I can only say that the plan had a minor miscarriage.'

Because Hachiman had never thought about the charity the school would do, it was expected that they would choose to continue the assessment.
  
Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone out of his way to ask Kushida-san to spread rumors.

The purpose is to spread rumors and then be proven that this school is so cruel, so that students can be forced to restrain themselves for their own sake.

Only. This school is quite interesting.
Very humane.

They might not be willing to end the assessment that was supposed to take a month.

However, the content can be announced.

In other words, even if it is an emergency, they will deal with it unexpectedly, and have opened the book for you, so can you do it?
  
Therefore, Hachiman felt that the chairman of the school must be someone who really wanted to engage in education. 'Want to know people's hearts?!
