Oreki Houtarou's Strength-First Classroom

[The rabbit group goes to 204, the dragon group goes to 203, the snake group goes to 205, the horse group goes to room 206, the sheep group goes to room 207...]

It's already nine o'clock in the morning.

It is a step-by-step group discussion twice a day in the examination rules, providing time for group members to identify and find preferential treatment in the group.

Oreki-san didn’t pause.

Get ready to go to Room 204 where the announcement will be made.

"Then I'll go to the monkey group." Kamuro-san said.

The room number for the monkey group is 209.

Although they are both on the second floor, they are in two different directions.

So the two of them ran towards their respective room numbers around the corner.

…

Since he spent some time with Kamuro-san, Oreki trotted over.

but.

Different from last night, room 204, which is more than 30 square meters, has a lot more people.

Most of the rabbit team members who came here to comply with the exam rules have arrived.

Takemoto-san and Machida-san, both students from Class A, have already arrived.

Three students from Class D also came.

And Class D is here.

The first thing I saw was a slightly fat boy, then a boy who looked inarticulate, and then a boy wearing glasses.

And Oreki has seen the list and information of the entire grade.

So I recognized it all at once.

These three people are Hideo Tomura, Akito Miyake, and Teruhiko Yukimura.

Then we can also know some general information. Sotomura is good at computers, Miyake Akito seems to be very good at bow and arrow, and Yukimura Teruhiko is the top student in Class D.

His academic ability is lower than that of Horikita Suzune.

And finally there is Megumi Karuizawa.

But Oreki-san circled around and couldn't see Karuizawa.

But I also saw a few girls.

Those are students from Class C.

They are all girls, and they are basically acquaintances.

There are clearly three classes of students in the room, but these students don't seem to interact with each other.

There are open chairs in the room, but they sit in different positions.

There is a dull atmosphere.

"Oreki-san, here—" Machida-san waved to Oreki.

There is no problem sitting together as students in Class A.

Oreki sat down, but there was an empty chair to his right.

but.

The atmosphere hasn't changed.

But it makes people feel like they have seen spring.

because.

The original situation of students in several classes being separated from each other has been changed.

"Hello - everyone."

"And Oreki-san."

This is a cute and energetic greeting.

And this girl, who is smiling like an angel that makes people bump into each other, is the most popular girl among the first graders.

Honami Ichinose.

Not only because she is cute, nor because she is big, but her temperament and atmosphere make people want to get in touch with her.

Because this is the first-year archangel, Honami Ichinose.

Have quite a few friends.

Has considerable affinity.

at the same time.

He is also the only student who has a good relationship with students in all four classes.

So as soon as she arrived, the atmosphere immediately came alive.

And in this case.

The students are basically here.

but.

The list of 14 people currently in the Rabbit Group is as follows.

Class A: Takemoto Shigeru, Machida Koji, Oreki Houtaro.

Class B: Honami Ichinose, Tetsuya Hamaguchi, Ryota Beppu.

Class C: Mio Ibuki, Shiho Manabe, Nami Yabuna, Saki Yamashita.

Class D: Miyake Akito, Karuizawa Megumi, Sotomura Hideo, Yukimura Teruhiko.

Thirteen people have come, and the one remaining is Karuizawa Megumi.

And Karuizawa is really late.

She was obviously late and seemed to frown when she saw the people in the room.

And she also glanced at the boys in her class.

The boys also glanced at her, but pretended not to notice.

But she didn't seem to have anything to say to them. Although they were in the same class, Karuizawa's relationship with them was average, or not good at all.

A boy accidentally bumped into Karuizawa's desk and caused her pencil to fall to the ground. She scolded the boy directly.

Quite fierce.

As a result, she was quite unpopular among the boys in the class.

Even though... she looks quite cute.

And people like Yamauchi who only look at her face will judge her as a dirty and old hottie.

It's just that her cute appearance is genuine, because almost all the boys in other classes focus on her, probably because they are comparing themselves with the girls in their own class.

Karuizawa's gaze seemed to circle the room.

Leave it here with Oreki.

"There is still an empty seat here." Karuizawa-san seemed to be muttering.

but.

Just when Oreki thought she was sitting next to him, he found that she had moved the chair to one side.

Keep a distance from him.

"..." Oreki-san.

Chapter 085 Are you here to consult me? Isn’t there only one result for the exam?

Karuizawa-san seems to have a hard time getting along with the boys in the class.

Just ignored them.

Then she saw that there was an empty seat next to Oreki-san, so she sat directly over, but then moved the chair away.

Maintained distance.

Small actions can cause great harm.

But Oreki-san also knows that Karuizawa is very fond of him.

Whether it is from the precognitive dream or the state displayed by the other party, they are consistent.

And now the action...

Probably because they are not in the same class, and Karuizawa still has a preconceived idea that he helped her in the past, and she didn't want to trouble him, so she has been using her own way to protect herself.

And now, doing this is also pretending that you don't know him.

Although I knew this, I felt a little disappointed when I found out that she had moved the chair away.

but.

As a person with keen insight, Oreki knew that if she just pretended not to know him, or acted a little bit like he was approaching him, this was what ordinary girls might do.

Then she won't stand out.

only.

Now I deliberately pretended not to know him, and even moved the chair away, which meant I needed to show off.

Why do you need to show off?

In other words, besides him, is there anyone else in this room who needs Karuizawa's attention?

Who needs to be shown her relationship with him that they pretend they don’t know each other?

Still saying something happened, she couldn't handle it.

So Oreki-san recorded it first.

…

Karuizawa's move to move a chair was just a small move, and not many people paid attention to it.

After all, there is an exam to be conducted now.

And now.

How will the exam be conducted?

"Anyway——"

"Although I know most of you, it seems that some of you still don't know each other."

"Why don't you introduce yourself." Archangel Ichinose Honami from Class B said.

She is very good at setting the mood.

Especially at this time, the person who takes the initiative to speak first can easily take control.

But it's not her character to be so strong.

So maybe it means that Class B this time actually wants to take it seriously.

And then get the win.

Of course.

Previously, Oreki-san only asked them to provide information about the group members, but after the exam, he did not ask for cooperation or any other requests.

So now Ichinose's performance is her own idea.

Class evaluation scores for the four classes are as follows.

Class A 1801

Class B 970
