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

Nagumo is now in front of the first grader's small blackboard.
　　
As a member of the school's student council, you have considerable authority and also have some responsibilities that you need to be responsible for.

It's like this. When students receive class evaluation scores through special examinations every month, members of the student council need to update in real time.

But when he got the data, he checked it twice in a row.

Because it is not yet a month after the first grade students enter school, but because the class evaluation scores are announced in advance, the work of the first grade must be done now.
　　
The reason why class evaluation scores are announced in advance is also very simple.
　　
A student from Class D broke the camera, so he had to publish the class evaluation scores in advance, which was profitable for the first-year students.
　　
Because in the past, the school rules and class evaluation scores were announced one month after the code of conduct.
　　
And one month is enough for students to distance themselves.
　　
So, now there is an abnormal situation on the first-year side, and people have directly announced information that will only be known a month later.
　　
However, in just 6 days, the grade gap of four classes has already formed in the first grade.

This year's first-grade Class A is very good. Class B's score was deducted by more than 100 points in 6 days, which seems to be relatively average.

However, Class D on the other hand, is very outrageous, more than 500 points deducted in 6 days!

It's hard to imagine how many points they would have left in a normal month.

Therefore, Class D is very bad for Nagumo. The result... now.
　　
Horikita Manabu asked him to update the class evaluation scores of first graders.

The previous data was:

1st-grade

Class A 996 points
Class B 834 points
Class C 611 points
Class D 480 points

But now the data given is:

First-grade

Class A 995 points
Class B 800 points
Class C 210 points
Class D 464 points

Hmm.
　　
Because first-year students are still under the code of conduct test, their scores will be deducted.
　　
Just because they knew in advance that the exam was taking place, the other three classes began to pay attention and no further points were deducted.

However, there is something wrong with the scores here in first grade Class C.
　　
In other words, if he is not mistaken, the current first-grade Class D has done nothing, but the first-grade Class C has fallen off by itself.
　　
In other words, a class as bad as Class D in the first grade can actually climb up the ladder.

"President!" This made Nagumo couldn't help but look at Horikita Manabu.

Because, this is weird.
　　
"What on earth happened?" Nagumo was dumbfounded.

"I remember that there was an incident where Class C of the first grade sued a student of Class D for beating someone."
　　
"Could it be that the deduction of points here is because of that?" Nagumo said in surprise.
　　
He was in the student council at that time, and a junior named Hikigaya from Class D of the first grade brought his classmates over to use the bulletin board to find witnesses.

'I just remember that he didn't gain anything at that time....'
　　
However, it turned out that Class C of the first grade fell off on its own.

'Is there anything, that I have overlooked? Why did they explode?'
　　
"That's the deduction there." Horikita Manabu pushed up his glasses and said. "First-grade Class C was deducted 200 points because of false accusations and intentional fighting. At the same time, because it is a code of conduct test, these 200 points will be doubled."

Doubling 200 points means that 400 points have been deducted. Then add some deductions from these balances.

That's why this score appears.

Then... was it because of a false accusation?

Nagumo was a little surprised. Not only the first-year students started to become so smart, but also the juniors in Class D actually found some evidence and turned against them!

_________

And the other side.

Here is the rooftop of the teaching building.

Breathing the cool breeze, Hachiman responded to Chabashira-sensei's notice and came to the rooftop.

As soon as I came up, I saw a mature woman wearing a white shirt and suit standing on one side.

What attracted attention was her side face, with snow-white skin. At the same time, it could be seen that she was in a good mood, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

But Chabashira probably noticed that Hachiman had arrived.
　　
"First of all, congratulations." She turned around and said in an excited voice.
　　
The reason why I use you is because there is a small tail behind Hachiman, who has straight black hair and fox-like eyes.

It's Horikita Suzune.

If you just look at the smell, then Chabashira feels like a big Horikita, and Horikita also feels like a small Chabashira.

Only. Hachiman felt that it was different, because Chabashira-sensei might have learned to be diplomatic, but his daughter Horikita here was still dull.

Although a true strong person is allowed to be aloof, Horikita-san cannot be that strong.
　　
And if it is not strong enough, then smoothness can only be used as a weapon.

It's a pity that the current Horikita Suzune still has a long way to go in this course.

"I received a notice from the school about the just-concluded court hearing. 400 class evaluation points will be deducted from Class C of the first grade as punishment. At the same time, Sudo is not guilty."

"And because the sentencing was carried out by the Student council, it will probably soon announce the new class evaluation scores "

"Once the data is released, because the class rankings are fluid, the class cards will be changed soon. At the same time, from today on, you will also be students of Class C."

In other words, I was promoted to class C, and the current Class C has fallen to D!

This kind of thing is not common in school, but this is the only one who was successfully promoted in the first month.
　　
Only. "It was very beautiful this time, I was surprised. But, Hikigaya, how did you do it?" Teacher Chabashira said suddenly, really curious what this crazy student of hers did.

She was really happy inside, to gamble on her old friend Hiratsuka's student, rather than trying to blackmail that other one, whose entrance examinations score were quite outrageous and had a quite troublesome background.

And Horikita-san also looked over.
Hachiman felt their gaze immediately.
　　
Forehead. But. How did he do it?
　　
Chabashira-sensei, didn't you attend the trial and find out about it?

However, Hachiman also knew that she probably wanted to know how he set up such a trap for Ryuen of Class C and then directly pulled it down in the dirt.

_____________

Indeed, Hachiman set up a game for Ryuuen.
　　
If I want to talk about it, I have to start from a week ago.
　　
At that time, he and Sakura were curious about her sixth sense, which Hachiman had doubts that it was a gift from Author-san?

And she thought it was best not to go to the experimental teaching building that day.
　　
And Hachiman has always felt that Class A may have joined forces with C, which is known for being naughty, so it is very likely that it will do something bad....

Just thinking about it. Together with Sakura, he witnessed the students of Class C accepting Ryuen's order to deceive Sudo.

At that time, Hachiman thought that this matter might come in handy.
　　
But how to operate it depends on how the other party wants to attack.
　　
Because fighting is a big deal but also a small thing in fact. It is even possible to hit fifty boards each.

And Ryuen actually attacked. The method was to file a court hearing with the student council and punish Sudo.

He is obviously the perpetrator but pretends to be the victim, and then hopes to let the Student council "judge".
　　
So, brave!
　　
However, Hachiman felt that Ryuen probably wanted to test the school's rules and see how they would deduct points even if this method was used.
　　
Should Class D be deducted alone, or both, even Class C will suffer?
　　
'In other words, he really accepted the commission from Class A, of blowing up the enemy's camp and even put his own class into trouble?'

'What'll his classmates do now?!' Hachiman was curious, if there would be a riot.

It's just that Ryuen, as the perpetrator, actually pretended to be the victim, and then sued Sudo for beating him up, so couldn't he use it to his advantage?

Hachiman was surprised that the other party was so bold, so he must be evil too!

His goal is to be promoted to Class A. Although with the current state of the class, it can only be said that he can barely give it a try, but he will not be able to hold on.

'But before this goal, I have to rush to Class C and B first....'
　　
Therefore, Class C is the primary target.
　　
'So naturally...if you can pull the opponent down, then seize it to kill the chicken with all your might!'

Hence the current result.
　　
Although Ryuen chose to sue in the student council, Hachiman had Sakura's camera recording the truth of the fight in Class C.

'So, isn't this just a free gift?'
　　
Because it will trigger problems such as misconduct and cheating on the student council.

And because of his contact with Horikita-san, Hachiman thought that the Student council president would also take this kind of thing very seriously.

So. All that had to be done was to bring out the evidence during the trial, and then clear the victim's name, while also convicting Class C of the false accusation.

However, the trial was initiated by Ryuen, so he may also cancel it in advance.
　　
'Therefore, if I can't let him cancel, then I must fool the other party.....'
　　
That's why Hachiman proposed to find witnesses, and then he asked his classmates, used Ichinose's connections, and even borrowed the bulletin board of the student council.

Gotta make it look presentable, if you want to scam the other party.

'And once Ryuen takes a bite of my poisonous bait, won't he be dealt with?'
　　
But these are just theories, so they still need to be practiced. So.
　　
Time went back to the day when Sudo got into a fight and Teacher Chabashira notified Class C to ask for a trial.
　　
"I hope everyone will believe Sudo and go find witnesses." He suggested at the time.

Then I entrusted Hirata to cooperate and mobilize all the students in the class to take action.
　　
Of course, with his motherly character, he values his classmates very much, and will definitely go all out.

Then he also asked Ichinose and the others for help.
　　
The atmosphere in Class B is very good. According to Kushida, there are many little angels there who are kind-hearted students who are easy to get along with.

But this also reflects that Kushida-san feels that some of her classmates are actually quite difficult to get along with.

For example, the classmate Koenji whom she mentioned deliberately before.
　　
Hachiman intuitively felt that although Kushida seemed friendly to everyone, she seemed to dislike that freeman.
　　
He was probably in Kushida's little book, and Hachiman felt that he and Horikita-san were also included in the top rank.

And he doesn't want such a high evaluation in Kushida's little notebook!

Only. "Hey..."
　　
Hachiman and Kushida were sitting in the cafe, and she probably thought that he was looking at her just now, so she deliberately showed a cute smile.

Horikita-san, on the other hand, frowned slightly and sat alone on one side.

It's rare that she doesn't have a vocabulary book to recite today.

It's just that Horikita doesn't know anything, and then she was told that Sudo had a fight and Class C asked for a court hearing.

Once this matter is confirmed, they will probably be deducted a lot of points, so for her and those who want to be promoted.

For Hachiman, it was a terrifying incident! So until now she is frowning.

Hachiman glanced over at her. He told Ichinose and Kanzaki that this month is the code of conduct test for the new students.

So, some black operations can be carried out. For Class A, this is an opportunity to let other classes fall.
　　
The same goes for Hachiman.
　　
Ryuen actually applied for a court hearing to the student council in a high-profile so they could intervene, and this fact could allow him to be found guilty of false accusations.

Then Class C is likely to fall in this code of conduct exam.

At the same time, Sudo's ability to beat people can be fully exploited.

And now is the time to take advantage.
　　
Thinking this, Hachiman glanced at her again. Horikita seemed to be still deep in thought.

So he waved forward, and a girl with a criminal-like figure, strawberry-blonde hair and a boy with slightly curly purple hair appeared.

Outside the coffee shop.

And when they saw Hachiman and the others, they quickened their pace.
　　
Kanzaki is a little introverted, but Ichinose is quite outgoing.
　　
"Hikigaya-kun, Horikita-san, Kushida-chan!" Although they had only met once, Ichinose completely remembered their information.

Even used -chan for Kushida, who felt a little flattered that the leader of Class B treated her like this.

But, she didn't know that Ichinose did it intentionally to let Hikigaya-kun know that she knows Kushida....yeah.

At this time, Kushida-san didn't know, that it would later become a part of her dark history.

"Ichinose, regarding the incident of Sudo hitting someone in our class this time..." After calling Ichinose over, Hachiman looked at his assistant, Kushida.

She nodded her head cutely, immediately understanding her boss's intentions and then explained what happened to Ichinose and the others.

"That's it...and the people from Class C..." Ichinose nodded, seriously. She doesn't have a good opinion of people like Ryuen, who are famous for smoking opium, "If our Class B can help, then let's also look for clues."
　　
"Really? Thank you..." Kushida-san couldn't hold back now, and took the initiative to hold Ichinose's hand.

And Hachiman looked at her actions.

'...Because, Kushida, was I not the only one, whose hand had been held like this?'

It felt a little cheap. Of course, this may be because he was unable to become an important person to Kushida-san and was treated like an ordinary person.

The mood is a little subtle. But.
　　
Hachiman didn't ask Ichinose and the others out to help them find witnesses.

Which means she herself wanted to do suck his dick?

"Ichinose, I think you need to be careful," Hachiman said, in a serious tone, and thought that the other person was not taking them seriously, "I believe in my classmates!" Then, he said such lies with a straight mouth.

There was not even a single weird movement in his facial expressions, and his tone was very clear, so it was very hard to tell whether it's a lie or not.

And, Hachiman was confident in his skills that he could even fool that girl Sakayanagi into thinking that the sky was green and not blue....

"So when Sudo hit someone, I think it was an attack from Class C." His face now looked grim, and he pretended to be quite angry.

Um. In other words, is Class D already taking risks for them?

Kanzaki and Ichinose looked at each other and then said. "So what do you want us to do?"
　　
"Just try to find witnesses." Hachiman said, obviously wanting to use these social beasts, "And this time, your class owes us a favor."

In other words, although it is an alliance, it can make the students in Class B feel a little guilty, so they will work harder when they are needed.

This is not a glamorous approach.
But it has to be used.
　　
When Hachiman was in class, he discovered that there were so many scumbags, and then he felt that... once there was an exam related to academic ability, then... he would definitely need the help of Class B.

In this way.
　　
This can be considered a variety of uses of Sudo events.
　　
But. "No, I owe you a favor this time, Hikigaya-kun." Ichinose shook her head at his statement.
　　
And these words made Hachiman look over. Because.
　
It's obviously a class matter, but Ichinose, you want to repay it with a personal favor?
　　
Does this mean that in your heart, the class is greater than yourself? Hachiman concluded in his mind, feeling a little complicated.

Because he could never do that, Hachiman doesn't care about Class D, he just wanted to scam his teacher, Chabashira-sensei.

___________

The purpose of finding Ichinose and the others was to consolidate the BD alliance. The above is what can be used in the Sudo incident.
　　
Then came the day of the trial. First grade class C is here.
　　
Ryuen Sho, the class representative of Class C, warned the three people, Ishizaki Daichi and the others who were beaten by Sudo.

It was their plan to fight this case. The reason is that a few days ago, Ryuen was busy gathering classes, but he was informed of the rules of this school.
　　
There is class ranking, and then class evaluation scores, although the basic scores of the four classes at the beginning are all 1000 points.
　　
Seems fair. But, the results announced were that Class C only had 611 points left in 6 days.

How to do this? Over the past few days, their Class C's evaluation scores have dropped steadily, and even though they know the rules of this school, the code of conduct test is still going on.

Although the assessment is self-discipline.
　　
And by ruling the class, Ryuen can restrain the students in the class so that there is basically no deduction of points every day.

It's just that this is not very safe and there may be other ways to get their points deducted.
　　
But the monthly living expenses are related to the class evaluation score.

　　
Ryuen was born as a gangster and a delinquent. Before entering this school, he was also the leader of a local gang.
　　
Then he naturally understands the importance of winning people's hearts.
　　
Being able to hit others only means they obey you for a while, but if both parties can benefit, then the other party will be driven by you.

So. When a student of Katsuragi's kindergarten, wanted to hire them to do some dirty work.

Ryuen immediately spotted the opportunity to monetize the unreliable class evaluation scores.
　　
That is to agree with the people over at Katsuragi and get the living security of his class.
　　
The price he proposed was 1.2 million points per month, and they would be responsible for attacking other classes.

It's just that this price is still being adjusted. The current price that Class A can pay him is 800,000 points every month.
　　
It is equivalent to 200 class evaluation points obtained by a class.
　　
But every month is a special exam, which is related to the class evaluation score, so it may not be able to hold on.
　　
'So, no matter how you look at it, it's a good deal to just take the money!'

In this way, this resulted in the Sudo beating incident.
　　
Before attacking Class B, let's practice with Class D first, they are garbage anyway, who would care if one or two disappeared?
　　
"This time, we will do as we promised in advance." Ryuen said in a serious tone, not wanting to leave any openings, "Whether points are deducted or not, there are students from Class A who can pay for us."

In fact, Ryuen is going to drag Class B into the water in this code of conduct assessment, and then bear the consequences.

But Class A will bear part of the loss of class evaluation points, with their private points.

It could be said that Class A only wanted to guard against Class B, and looked down upon Class C and Class D, who had suffered huge points deductions in just a few days.

But it doesn't matter, because Ryuen's target is also Class A.

He is a gangster and his academic performance is not good.

It is already very difficult to get chances like these. Very rare.

As long as you can counterattack from the bottom, you can even reach the sky with your hard work.
　　
There is no need to miss this opportunity.

However, it is only valid if you graduate as Class A of the third grade at the end of your graduation.
　　
The criterion for position in Class A is.....Right, it's just too much..
　　
Therefore, the time is still long and Ryuen feels that there is no need to rush. He can first accumulate personal points to pay for living expenses.
　　
And the head teacher also said that you can buy anything in this school with points.
　　
So as long as you have money, some illegal operations that are not recognized can also be carried out.

So. As long as Class B is pulled down, even if the class evaluation score of Ryuen's class is reduced to 0, there will be no shortage of basic living expenses.

Class A will pay. Then because they had living expenses, the group of people in the class continued to be determined.

It's a good plan.
　　
"But?" Ryuen suddenly frowned for some reason.

"What's wrong, Ryuen-san?"
　　
"..." Ryuen, seemed a little shaken, "I feel a little uncomfortable. The sixth sense seems to be telling me that something is wrong."

"Is it that sixth sense?" Ishizaki Daichi turned around and said, slightly surprised, that their leader also has this special ability which was rumoured to be monopolised by girls.

They implemented Ryuen's plan to frame Sudo, and after everyone came into contact with him, they were beaten by Ryuen and suffered injuries.

It looks quite pitiful. And even before they went to the trial, the testimony had been rehearsed several times, so it was definitely a good one.

The most important thing is that even though Class D tried so hard to find the so-called witnesses, they still couldn't find them.
　　
Therefore, the advantage lies with them in Class C. Even just looking at the injuries on the three of them, one would think that Sudo is an abomination.

"Haha, I'm just kidding, I don't have that little girl thing." Ryuen scoffed, as if it's a very disgusting thing to have, "This is our first battle in this school and I'll give them a good fight. But if something goes wrong....you won't be able to survive!"

"Hmm... I understand." X3

Ryuen adopted a violent rule in Class C. Therefore, most students in the class are afraid of him.
　　
With that, the three people Sudo was fighting with and their homeroom teacher, Sakagami-sensei, headed to the student council's courtroom.

It's just that they have already arrived, and it seems that only Sudo from Class D, the first grade, is here.

"Sudo!"
　　
"Why, can't you find someone to be your defender?" Komiya said directly, looking from above.

"You three guys!" Sudo was instantly annoyed.
　　
So, no one in Class D cares about this guy? Of course they don't.
　　
After class in the afternoon, Hachiman followed Chabashira-sensei to the trial room.
　　
But. Who will serve as the defense attorney in this Sudo incident was only decided last night.

Although Hirata's mother and Kushida's sister both wanted to help Sudo.

But. As a defender, they can't do shit and only hope that the other party will show mercy.

Then in the end, Sudo was deducted points, so would some students blame him and say he was completely useless?

Um. There are some students who think so.
　　
So, when Hirata held a meeting in the class hoping that some students would nominate themselves to be Sudo's defender, no one was willing.
　　
It wasn't until Hachiman and Horikita raised their hands that Hirata felt at ease.

________

Only. "I always feel that Hirata-kun seems a little too gentle." said the girl with long black eyes and straight eyes who was following Hachiman.

This is Horikita Suzune. She and Hachiman enter as Sudo's defenders.
　
However, Hirata, who has always been so eager to help everyone, did not appear as a defender. This is very strange.

You must know that no witnesses have been found yet, which means that there is a high probability that Sudo will be deducted points.
　　
"Because I showed him a piece of evidence." Hachiman revealed some dangerous things, "Although no witnesses were found, that's because I was that ghost person and recorded the conversation between Ishizaki Daichi and others from Class C before they called Sudo out, which can confirm that they were instructed by Ryuen."

"So. If this information is exposed, then that monkey will be declared innocent immediately, because it's not Sudo's fault that he doesn't have a good brain," Hachiman said, revealing his small but evil smile.

"..."

"Really?" Horikita Suzune was really shocked, she found it incredulous, but was slightly disappointed in her heart.
　　
This game turned around in an instant.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" She asked, slightly confused and irritated, about being kept in the dark.
　　
If I had said it earlier, I would not be able to play Ryuen, the other party would have canceled the trial.

Because your attitude is too straight, like a piece of wood. Anyone would know that there's something fishy going on.

Why don't you look panicked? So.

"Then what about Chabashira-sensei--" Straight daughter Horikita, also noticed that her teacher seemed to be quite calm.

Now walking in front of the two of them on high heels.
　　
Click click click. Even the sound of high heels is very rhythmic.
　　
She must be a mature big sister, and her walking posture is pretty good-looking.

"I told Chabashira-sensei that I was a witness the day after the Sudo's incident," Hachiman said, trying to reassure her, knowing his daughter was getting jealous again, "But since Ryuen made such a big fuss and we are still in the code of conduct test, if he bites my poisonous bait...then the other party may lose a lot of points."

That's right. In other words, this is Hikigaya Hachiman's attack power.
　　
This guy actually wanted to grab Class C's tail and wrap it around their neck to suffocate them.

This guy's solution to the problem is still so different. Only, Horikita Suzune didn't ask any further questions, already knowing that her father is a crazy person inside her heart.
　　
So, she obediently made her way to the trial room behind Hachiman like a follower, staring at his head.

Very curious to open Hachiman's head with her compass, and take a look at what's inside?

She wants to know about the difference between herself,  Chabashira-sensei and Hirata.

'Because, why would Hikigaya-kun leak that kind of critical information to Chabashira-sensei or Hirata-kun instead of me?'

'Is it because Hikigaya-kun still doesn't believe me?' Suzune, wasn't impressed about this impartial treatment, and frowned cutely.

_________

In this way, the court meeting of the two classes began.

At the round table, the people from Class D and Class C were confronting each other.

Chabashira was staring at the male teacher of Class C, but don't be mistaken, it's not that kind of mating interaction between owls.

This teacher wore glasses, he was quite thin and had long fingers on his hands.

When he sat down, he naturally looked like a teacher. This is a bit uncomfortable.
　　
But, the boy smiled and seemed confident.
　　
Ishizaki Daichi and the others didn't look nervous at all, but it could be noticed that until a week later, they were still deliberately wearing the gauze they used after the injury.

At least they looked pitiful after doing enough to get beaten.
　　
And Hachiman knew very well that Sudo was a victim and a grumpy old man.

Because of his usual conduct, there were relatively few students who wanted to believe him.

This time he was tricked, but if something happens next time, it will also be detrimental to Sudo.

So, in this way, the stakes were very high for both parties.
