Oreki Houtarou's Strength-First Classroom

and.

It is not certain whether Oreki-san is telling the truth when he says that the person receiving preferential treatment is not in his class.

Therefore, we can delay the time. There will be two meetings every day, so it has just begun. Then we can also observe everyone's words and deeds and other information about those who have received preferential treatment.

Then Ichinose nodded slightly.

"In this case, I also agree that our rabbit team will move towards result 1."

"Then the same goes for our Class C." Manabe and the others have been waiting for this opportunity and said quickly.

Now that students from Class A and Class B are participating, it would be natural for them to participate as well.

If everyone moves towards result 1, then it will be the end of the final exam and a huge amount of points will be obtained.

This is an opportunity.

"If that's the case, then we, Class D...well, a few of us agree..."

Yukimura Teruhiko turned to look at the other two boys.

Tomura and Miyake nodded.

No one turns down points.

However, there was one person who did not express his opinion.

"Karuizawa, you think so too!" Yukimura read out the name of the fourth Class D student in the room.

Karuizawa Megumi.

"Ah... me. Whatever, there's nothing wrong with getting more points anyway." Karuizawa said while looking at his phone.

And this nonchalant or disengaged attitude is striking.

"By the way..."

And Manabe noticed that Karuizawa had been looking at his phone as soon as he entered the room.

but.

"Is this what your Class D cell phones look like?" Manabe said. "Everyone in our class is white, why are you black?"

Manabe said this because the mobile phone held by Tomura of Class D was also black.

"?"

"These are backup phones. Our phones were put away by Horikita-san before eight o'clock." Karuizawa-san seemed to explain calmly.

but.

"S——"

This scene made Ichinose a little confused.

Since there is Oreki-san in Class A, it is difficult to inquire about the situation.

So she felt that she could only explore again and again.

But now, in fact, all the students in Class D don't even know whether they are selected as preferential recipients, not to mention whether they know the status of the preferential recipients in their class.

and.

This is a unified strategy, so Class B students in other groups may also be troubled.

Is it because Class D took the exam?

participated.

But they are equivalent to abstaining directly.

No useful information can be obtained at all.

then.

This time the preferential candidate exam... came to a deadlock.

…

[Discussion ends. ]

At ten o'clock, Teacher Mashima's announcement came from the ship.

There are two mandatory discussion times for group members every day.

9-10 a.m. respectively.

and 9-10 p.m.

So the time to discuss it again is in the evening.

Ichinose seemed troubled because he had obtained a lot of information that made things more difficult during the first discussion.

But there was nothing her classmates could do.

Class A couldn't get the information, but Class D didn't know the information at all.

"I think not only our Rabbit team, but also other teams chose outcome 1 as the best plan." Oreki-san said. "Because if we cooperate well, it will be a plan where everyone can get a lot of points."

"Oh." Ichinose nodded.

But he could only nod.

Because as Oreki-san said, indeed, if you choose result 1, then a team can get 7-8 million points.

In total, 12 groups can obtain a total of 80-90 million points from the school at one time.

It's very tempting.

but.

If you choose this, the evaluation scores of all classes will not change.

And isn't this result what Class A and Class D want to see?

So now Ichinose almost suspects that Class A and Class D are joining forces again.

Moreover, Class D did an incredible job this time.

It’s hard to doubt that it’s a plan that students from Class D can come up with.

Then Oreki-san’s goal is to reach result 1.

Then in the next year, the special exam scores given by the school may not be high.

Then it will be difficult for them in Class B to move up.

Moreover, I have to spend 3 years in this school, although I have 3 years to work hard with everyone.

But if the gap is widened so much from the beginning and cannot be shortened, it will dampen everyone's ambition.

So this option is not what Ichinose wants to see.

Ichinose sighed softly.

"Oreki-san, where are you going next?" She noticed that after Mr. Majima announced the end of the discussion, Oreki-san watched the students from Class D leave and then began to walk toward the corridor on one side.

And this direction seems to be consistent with her——

"Go pick up Horikita-san," Oreki said.

"Will you pick up Horikita-san——"

Ichinose blinked slightly. "So you're dating—"

"I cooperated with her for this exam," Oreki said. "Our plans all lead to outcome 1."

"..." Ichinose.

So is that really the case?

Ichinose pushed his forehead gently.

So he followed Oreki to the Dragon Team in Room 203.

…

The 14-person roster of the Dragon Group is as follows.

Class A: Kohei Katsuragi, Ryoko Nishikawa, Nobu Tashiki, Koharu Yano

Class B: Sayo Ando, ​​Ryuji Kanzaki, Hitomi Tsube

Class C: Takumi Oda, Hidetoshi Suzuki, Masashi Sonoda, Sho Ryuen

Class D: Kushida Kikyo, Hirata Yosuke, Horikita Suzune

It can be seen that representatives from various classes are gathered here.

"Speak of it."

Oreki-san said. "Why wasn't Ichinose-san assigned to the Dragon Team?"

"Um?"

"Can I still choose my own group?" Ichinose blinked lightly. "Ah, you mean Ryuuen, Katsuragi-san, Kushida, Hirata-kun and Horikita-san were assigned to the Dragon Team."

"I'm also very curious, because it seems like the leaders of each class have been assigned to the dragon group."

"Then you're not here," Oreki said.

"But Oreki-san isn't in the Dragon Team either." Ichinose winked cutely. "And I'm just a member of Class B. Everyone is excellent."

Ichinose looked very humble.

but.

This preferential candidate test is regular, and class representatives gather together to compete with each other for equal strength.

Oreki believes that the school also hopes that they can compete with each other and improve.

Oreki-san, on the other hand, is easy to talk to. He feels that Mr. Mashima knows his character.

So throwing him into this kind of fringe group, he felt comfortable.

However, it is very problematic that Ichinose will be assigned to the rabbit team.

Maybe it was what the head teacher in her class was thinking about.

The reason why I think so.

look.

The dragon group seemed to be quarreling.

Standing at the door, you can see the scene inside.

There are still five or six members of the dragon group inside.

All the students in Class A have left.

But all three students from Class B are there.

The only student left in Class D is Horikita-san.

only.

Now Ryuuen is sitting, and Kanzaki Ryuji shows an angry expression.

The two girls in his class behind him seemed to be crying.

It seemed like something nasty happened during the discussion.

Look at this state alone.

Kanzaki Ryuji couldn't resist Ryuuen at all.

So if the Dragon Group's preferential treatment is in Class B, it is likely to be tested out.

So, can’t the head teacher of Class B see this?

You must know that teachers also put their strength first.

When he saw Ichinose coming over, Ryuuen immediately complained first.

"Ichinose, you are so treacherous. You have been trying to obtain information about the favored person in our class."

"Because it was Ryuuen who sent Kaneda-san and Ibuki-san here during Kojima's exam, and the purpose was to obtain information about the leader of our Class B."
