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

Thinking, might as well be said to be a test of people's hearts, the most unable to withstand VIP exam.

“Your time is up!”

Just as Hachiman was about to ask something else, Mashima had enough of this child's face “20 minutes are up, you can leave Hikigaya.”

This makes people feel speechless, really acts impartially.

'....But, I have already obtained the rules for the exam.' When he was asked out of Room 204,  stood in the corridor.

“Hikigaya?”

Yukimura felt there were areas needed to be discussed of this exam, both in categories of data records of  group members and rules.

'So, I want to ask Hikigaya....'

But he noticed that bot had not left but was standing by corridor window.

It's looking out with one hand and quietly waiting for something.

“I'm just here for the next group of students to arrive. Besides,  Yukimura, have you clearly memorized the list of members of our group?”

“I....” Yukimura was now feeling a little embarrassed, “I can't remember everything because I don't really know that many people.....”

"So I'll wait here....Give cameras to students in our class and let them take pictures. Because, if you can't remember the names on list, probably no one else can either!”

Oh.....Yukimura could proudly accept, left while scratching the back of his neck.

But in fact, there are still people who can do this kind of learning task.

Like Kushida or Horikita.

They had received a roster of the entire 1st grade from Hachiman, so they would know the names of the students Yukimura could not recognize.

And Kushida had even greeted the people on the list.

But, meeting time of 2 people is 8:40, which means got called in the same group.

Class was divided into 12, so there are still 10 groups of lists to collect.

Students in the class are not completely at ease, so Hachiman even has to confirm who will give the camera to them and then let snap pictures.

People in each group changed every 20 minutes, so he could not rest until 10:20 pm.

“Sorry, Hikigaya-kun, our group is so late....” When it was time to divide, 3 students came out of the room.

Two men and one woman.

Girl's appearance is a bit sweet, with brown shoulder-length smooth hair, delicate facial features, and even the look of her dress has the air of a wealthy daughter.

There is also a faint scent of jasmine perfume on her body.

She is a person who knows how to dress and groom, and lives in an exquisite way.

Name is Matsushita Chiaki, who handed over a pink device back to Hachiman.

Upon entering room, she was asked by Hachiman to take a photo.

“It's okay....” He gentle took the camera from other person's hand.

However, the classmate who returned Sakura's property back to him but did not leave immediately.

Her eyes seemed a little burning.

There are very few people available in the class, and not everyone can be asked to take photos.

Can Matsushita be used as one of those people securely talented?

In front of cabin on the Deserted island, Hachiman actually didn't ignore but listened to Kushida's talk about many things.

One of them is related to Matsushita.

Kushida’s evaluation of her is a bit pretentious.

And this kind of personality can also be understood as a cover-up, which means that Matsushita may be showing off.

“Have you understood the exam rules?" Hachiman decided to check over girl's brain first, “I'm going to send the photo to Horikita later so she can simplify it, and then I'll announce to everyone before exam starts tomorrow....”

“I think exam rules are a bit difficult, would be best if you could briefly explain them, Hikigaya-kun!”

'Does this mean that you can’t keep up with progress and not even fully understand the test questions?'

“Although we are still only Class C, it is just more than 200 points away from A. If you work harder, we may be able to catch up....” A tentative kind of response was thrown at Matsushita's head, looking for a way to convince.

“Yeah....” Her facial expression seemed a little weird, as if she had a little regret.

But, it was quickly removed like nothing ever gone wrong for her.

“It would be great if we could climb up. But I just don't even fully understand the rules yet....” She even made a small fists to smack her own forehead, and waved at Hachiman that she is going back.

“Come on, Hikigaya-kun!”

Generally speaking, if you don't understand the test questions, you won't repeat back and forth twice.

Obviously.

'....This Matsushita actually understood a lot of creepy stuff, but she was just failing on purpose.' While Hachiman was busy talking to her, a young man also came out of room 204.

This is Mashima from Class A. Put the script he carried in his bag and walked out.

Direction to go is negative 1st floor.

There is a bar for adults, where teachers go to drink.

“Work is finally done." When he arrived, head teachers of the other 3 casses were already holding a glass.

Teachers are responsible for explaining rules of this exam for privileged candidates.

As the rules show, during the next 3 days of discussion twice a day, students were highly autonomous, so now the teachers had nothing to be responsible for.

In this way, After finishing their work, 3 teachers can be seen drinking or enjoying holidays from job.

“Wow, it's so damn comfortable!” Class B's homeroom teacher Hoshinomiya Chie ordered a large glass of beer, and then finished it in less than 10 seconds.

Mood seems to be very good.

“Hoshinomiya, don't you think behavior is unladylike?”

The head teacher of Class D, Sakagami, gently pushed up his glasses and made a painful remark.

He also had a glass of beer in front of the table, but his movements were delivered more elegant.

“Well, since Sakagami-kun is the only boy around, there's no need to worry...hehe~” But Chie just put down her cup and opened her mouth again with a slight huff, “....Because, you are not even within my scope. So, I don't need to show off in front of you!”

“.....” Sakagami, who just called ugly, '....During the Island exam, I felt that Chabashira was very pretentious, and then I didn't even want to talk to her.'

Now, feels that he shouldn't talk to Hoshinomiya of Class B either.

Turn over his face to look at Mashima who was now walking over.

“Mashima, you came really late today. Is it because of getting worried about being responsible for explaining the rules to Class C? Indeed, the students must be quite difficult for you to deal with. For example, can't even understand the rules....haha”

“Possibly, but my work is done.”

“Why so damn serious, aren't you even a bit worried?” Sakagami who is really not in a good mood for the past months, felt like he should poke others a little, “You must know there are a total of 12 preferential candidates. So, even your Class A might be overtaken!”

The score of Class D is 0 points.

If you want to catch up, you have to take at least several exams.

But Class A is only 100 points ahead of B, and only 200 points ahead of C, which is a dangerous situation.

“If you got even surpassed by Chabashira's Class C, then your class may become famous! Worse than my own!”

“Sakagami, keep your tongue in check!”

This school is a competition between classes, so very reasonable for there to be fluctuations.

But it would really be shameful for Class A to fall so quickly.

After all, good students were created in the beginning for Only A.

So in fact, if Class A really falls down, will be somewhat comforting to Sakagami's wounded heart.

He was originally in charge of Class C, but not only he dropped, but even got 0 points.

According to the normal progress of this school, CD class may be changed, but if becomes 0 points, it will usually be in the 2nd or 3rd grade, so it is very embarrassing to have 0 points now.

Going to visit other grades is a bit shameful for him.

“About this... If others can surpass us, then we, Class A, can afford to lose...” Even being felt a huge sense of crisis, Mashima just held down his hair with one hand.

Today he is responsible for informing the students of Class C about the exam rules.

Who previously ranked last in a set of evaluation criteria, which means there are many idiots, so this job is not easy.

But after Hikigaya Hachiman of Class C used the damn camera, even got passed on.

Each group will take a photo of group list as they come in.

So, from this point of view, Class C has upper hand once again.

Even possible that results will become outrageous.

So, his position of Class A is indeed unstable.

Even so, Mashima didn't have any selfish intentions or even illegal operations.

At this time, he just looked at Chie from Class B who is quite erotic, “Hoshinomiya, what are you trying to do? You regulated students in your own class, right?”

"Eh? Mashima-kun, what are you on about now?” Chie seemed to be unaware of doing bad things.

“Don't try to be careless...” Only, Mashima knows the weird habit of this girl very well by now.

“You changed list of groups this time. Normally, we would arrange representatives from each class into the Dragon group, but you arranged Ichinose in your class to go to the Rabbit group, right?“

"Ah... I think Ichinose-san is very cute, just like a little bunny, so I put her with rabbits!”

“Is this really true?” Mashima looked at her with an open hint of distrust.

“Ah haha, really honest!” But Chie just continued to respond with a cheer leader's attitude.

And, Chabashira who only spoke once to reprimand Sakagami of not breaking the lines, just drank quietly by herself, but her brows were slightly furrowed.

When allocating student lists, as a rule, Leader's of each class will be placed in the dragon group.

After all, competition makes people grow in evaluation.

Put heroes in the strong group.

Only, when she made the choice, she didn't put Hikigaya in dragon group, but rabbit.

Result, Chie actually put Ichinose in the same group.

'In other words, is Chie guarding against me? Class B going to attack Hikigaya's pawns?'
