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

In other words, who can dare to afford it?

Raise your curvy head!

“Hey, it's impossible for our class to be unlucky enough to have 12 VIP recipients!” Karuizawa dared enough to open her mouth at this time.

'I am a Disciplinary member of the Student Council after all!' Although, not a major position, it is very popular in the class.

Especially after the last written exam, she used her power to abuse, then helped everyone “secretly photograph” the papers.

Everyone passed the exam safely!

Even if someone had her underwear stolen on the Island, was still done by Ibuki-san, a foreigner.

“That's right!” Seeing that she was willing to oppose a big girl like Suzune, her friends Shinohara and Maya Sato with orange colour immediately began to support her.

“Since the 12 VIP recipients are divided equally, our class will only have three!”

“I don't believe an idiot like Shinohara could ever know math.....”

“Who the fuck said that?!”

But, even if all 3 recipients are guessed, there will only be a loss of 50X3=150 points.

Therefore, nonsense to say that you will be deducted 600 points or something.

And hearing her say this, people  seemed a little relieved except one who uttered that statement.

Rather, some people think so too, and now Karuizawa plus her friends are speaking out for others.

“But it's possible to be so unlucky, right?" Suzune was mildly shocked when heard none other Karuizawa and her group of bimbos using her brain for once, “Or are you willing to take a gamble on the number of VIP recipients in our class? If you win the bet, you may lose 150 points....2. And, if you lose the bet, 600 points will be reduced! Can you shoulder this responsibility alone on your head, Shinohara-san?”

“....” Shinohara-san, who still hadn't completely recovered from her being named out.

Who dares to bet?

....At first, people who just thought that 12 VIP's mentioned by Horikita were all in his class, but Yukimura, thought it was unlikely, now also shut up.

Because if he objects at this time, will he be responsible if very unlikely thing happens?

Most importantly, can he take the blame?

“So just because I don't want to gamble on this possibility, Horikita, please ask everyone to submit their mobile phones!” And watching Suzune's cold singing of the blank face, Hachiman also started to speak, preparing to make the red face of others.

“Because, you have to participate in group meetings for 3 days, no matter how good your acting skills are, the identity of recipient may be exposed. We cannot afford this loss! After all, I spent 7 days on the Island exam to accumulate such points, right? Are you going to lose everything here?!”

“Of course not, Hikigaya!”

“Then, Horikita, you made sure that no one knew about being chosen for a VIP! Since you don't know if you are a preferential one, then other classes won't find out.....”

“His voice sounds like a pig coughing......”

“???”

“H-Hikigaya-kun, it's a good plan!” Kushida's sweet whisper just came like a saviour to Hachiman's painful heart.

After saying this, she did not continue to speak, even Hachiman quietly let the students make their own discussion groups.

Besides he really wasn't in the mood to continue giving public speeches after someone rudely criticised him.

Time now is 7:46.

Still 14 minutes until eight o'clock.

'.....I have to waste another 4 minutes on them.'

“For example, during a group discussion, if we find a favored person from another class, wouldn't we also miss the opportunity to score for the class if we can't use the phone?" A boy's voice was heard loudly around the room, after he took the advice of his nearby friend.

The 1st thing to raise was the issue of self-interest, which is very Class C.

“I don't recommend you to answer either," Suzune who got ordered by Hachiman to put down every person's question, “If you guess wrong about a VIP, our class will be deducted 50 points! But since you are a member of Class C, then you must be willing to pay for 50 points deducted, come and get your phone back to answer the question!”

“According to the situation of Koenji-kun before, who made outstanding contributions to the class and can get one-third of the points....”

Maezono was now having a very bad feeling....

“So, if you are deducted because of your own fault, will be penalized half of the share until Graduation....”

💢

“Why, why is the reward only one-third, but if points are deducted, you have to pay half?!”

People felt cheated

“Listen quietly, Class A has a score of 1258, Class B 1121, and our class C has a score of 1041, not far! Every extra point you get deducted only shows you miss the possibility of rushing into Class A, which means that all the hard work of the whole class may be destroyed. Don't you need a heavy penalty to make over?”

In fact, this is not the case.

Only by graduating as Class A can you get the honor of school, go to the university you want without tuition and exams, get the job you want.

But now that Suzune is shouting that people might rush into Class A, the suppression on students in the class is getting very strong.

Only, there are also who want to contribute to the class, or if they do, get some of the points like Koenji.

Don’t have to worry about their living expenses in the future.

But, hearing Suzune's ominous words, responsibility is also great.

Because payment is shit. The exam hasn't ended yet.

It will be confirmed next month that if you don't get points deducted, you can get 100,000 yen in living expenses.

So how can it be possible to not just take out 100,000 points for this bet, but you have to give your share every month.

“This is unfair!” A bot stood up immediately.

“Previously, didn't you say that only one-third of the bonus points are taken, and 2/3th are given to the class? Now you want more, then ask others if they are willing to share points deducted for your stupidity?” Suzune's cold-like stance, not even hearing other people's desperate complaints expression remained unchanged.

To her, this kind of rebuttal meant nothing.

The bot who stood up immediately noticed that his peers had lowered their heads.

Obviously he doesn't want to.

Why should everyone share the points you deducted?

“.....”

Although they hate to admit it, most students would not want their living expenses to be deducted in vain.

“Horikita-san——" Hirata, who likes peace, quickly stood up, knew that if continued, cracks would appear in his class.

Whether it's extra points or deductions, he thinks it's normal.

If he cares about it one by one, won't be able to rest in peace.

“This is indeed my mistake....” Suzune had also discussed it with Hachiman at the beginning, so she didn't want to be a stubborn donkey all the time.

At the same, also knew that she couldn't push these classmates too hard, added a little more..

“There has been such a deviation....Let's make a formal agreement...” Suzune clenched her pink fists, and took a deep breath to exclaim her next words, “It all started when Koenji-kun opened up his personal advantage and then class rewarded him with points...But this road has a very good effect. Koenji-kun gave our class more than 300 points...And now, I think you don't want to fall down like this.... If you have a chance, please try to get into Class A!”

“As long as everyone performs well individually and obtains a class evaluation score of 50 or more points, certain individuals will now receive living expenses worth half of the class evaluation score until graduation, which they achieved....Of course, if our class's points are deducted too much and these cannot be saved, we can only temporarily suspend it...But what can be confirmed is part of the score must be placed at the end For example, Koenji-kun, if our class's evaluation score is reduced to only 200 points, then everyone will still have to pay him 100 points worth of living expenses.....That is to say....I want to ensure that students who contribute to the class are rewarded...And as long as they get rewards for the class, not treat them badly. Do our best to honor such people!”

"Horikita-san, this method doesn't seem very good... If the class evaluation scores are divided like this..." Hirata did not get notified of this in advance.

"But this plan is pretty good, isn't it?" Koenji, who participated in the rally but did not speak, only took out a mirror and looked at his beautiful face.

Now also decided to agree with Suzune, he was actually looking forward to this class.

Reward and punishment system.

It can effectively prevent some idiots from deducting points significantly, and at the same time, it also provides rewards, allowing some capable people to sharpen their heads and rush forward.

Because everyone knows this is a rubbish class.

Let’s not talk about whether we can rush to Class A. Even if we rush up, definitely fall.

'So, I really got no hope for this defective class.....'

Chapter 194

However, Reward and Punishment system proposed by Suzune now can ensure they will be cashed in after doing contributions.

This is worth looking forward to.

It allows some capable people to work hard, and then restricts some fools from deducting points.

Even such a rubbish class might be mobilized.

Of course, the only reason he would agree is... Suzune's proposal guarantees his reward, and Koenji is a vested interest.

“Of course you said because you can get the money, Koenji!” Sudo who always pays a lot of focus on this guy's words retorted immediately.

“Then Red hair-kun, why don't you go score the points yourself?”

“As long as it's a sports-related test, I can definitely get points!” Sudo was pretty confident about his future.

He is a good athlete.

Although not as good as Koenji in terms of physical fitness, he can be ranked at the top of his grade, even among boys in school. 'So, naturally I have a boost of confidence in myself!'

“In short, if no one objects. As long as the reward or deduction exceeds 50 points and is caused by personal reasons, you can be rewarded or punished....For this exam, after you have read the information that Kushida-san just sent, my suggestion is that everyone in the class should hand in their mobile phones....”

“The fuck?”

“You just told about doing personal work to get rewards!”

“Don't talk in a confusing way only to visit previous location!”

“SHUT UP!!”

“If you really want to enter the stage of guessing the recipient, you don't have to submit your mobile phones!”

'....It's just that I didn't say it because of already obvious. Hell is wrong with these people?!' Suzune complained furiously in her heart.

Student's POV

'After looking at the information Kushida gave me, I finally understood a little bit about what the test questions were about.....'

'Then I also found that it was super cool to be a preferential recipient, and if I could guess the identity of VIPs in other classes, I can also increase my living expenses.'

'But if you guess wrong and get deducted points, the compensation you have to pay is enough to drink a  large pot.'

So, today's students have now become worried about losing points, but not of the class, just because of their own mistakes.

Don't want to take responsibility.

3rd POV

“So let me say it again now, you hand over all your mobile phones and will be sent to you after the exam. What do you think? As for the exam period, you can use this black mass-produced machine to contact and resume after the exam is over?....Hachiman” Suzune now completed her mission, and looked towards another silent boy to do his part.

“Those two are really dating....”

“Even called using his name!”

And everyone found that said lover was holding a bag in his hand, which contained the same black mobile phone as one issued by the school.

“Are you so well prepared?” Koenji Rokusuke sat in his seat and watched the guy's performance with a grin on his face. '.....Although, Horikita girl seems to be quite straightforward, offends everyone in the group without any hesitation.'

But he doesn’t think it was Suzune’s idea alone.

Now looking, it turns out that it was Hikigaya-boy's plan behind.

Although it was obvious this was two people's long-awaited plan, and might even do something, Koenji did not stop them.

For him, 100 points are actually not stable, because if students in Class C do not change and easily lose points, then even his income would be gone.

So, his current state is one of perfect coordination.

“It's just that if one of us is selected as VIP----” But a random boy feels a little dissatisfied with this kind of approach, “school's reward...”

“If no one discovers your identity as a preferential recipient, then school will naturally put the reward points into your private account, so you don't feel ignorant, and when the exam is over, you will find that your account has an extra 500,000, right?”

50...500,000!

“And other people don't even know about this 500,000. You can use it secretly!”

Devil's whisper....

Hidden?

“Now that you said that Hikigaya....”

“Come on guys, put your phone away quickly!”

“It's almost eight o'clock!”

“Look, I will even give you my own first!”

“Hurry up and put away your damn phones!”

More people agreed.

'....It seems that explaining the relationship between personal interests is more useful.' Hachiman thought to himself.

Only, fact that classmates in Class C love money so much is a bit like him.

He also thinks exams can be more used to vibrate money-loving.

After all, not many opportunities to obtain large point rewards.

That's what Hachiman was thinking.

Started walking down and taking out another empty bag. It is used to hold mobile phones.

If a classmate submits, he will give the other party a backup device.

It's just that from Koenji, Hachiman didn't even collect the other party's....

After everything was done, time quickly came to eight o'clock.

Restaurant here.

Class C's POV

After submitting mobile phones, students in Class C also got free time to move around and group meetings according to the rules later.

'So, now I can finally choose to go eat or back to the dormitory....'

But most of the students were in a good mood.

'Because I got a backup phone, also avoided the painful experience of not having a mobile available for these three days. At the same time, I don’t know if I am a preferential treatment guy, don’t need to worry about my poor acting skills.'

Points in the class can be maintained.

If you are lucky, may even be selected as a VIP recipient.

And because themselves don’t know whether they are preferential recipients, how could students in other classes guess the identity of their heroes?

So from this point of view, as long as become preferential recipients, they can get money from the school.

After the mobile phones were confiscated, students in Class C were not dissatisfied, but hoped they would be selected as preferential treatment recipients.

Even wishes all 12 VIP's are in his class, because in that kind of case, probability of being selected as a VIP and receiving a 500,000 point reward reaches about 35%.

This is truly a beautiful thing.

Even Hachiman and others also left the restaurant.

7:57

3rd POV

In 3 minutes, school will send the names of the preferential recipients.

So, they have more pressing matters to deal with..

Hachiman, Suzune plus Kushida started taking action, entered a dormitory.

A girl with pink hair was already standing there.

Relieved to see coming.

This is Sakura Airi.

Not all the students in the class went to the restaurant, Hachiman entrusted Sakura to stay in the dormitory to provide support.

“Thank you for your hard work Sakura!”

Let her stand at the door. Because what is to be done next cannot be known to other students.

That is to confirm whether mobile phones have received the message of being selected.

Need to obtain the list of VIPs in the class and then figure out pattern.

Rather, all the arrangements for this exam are based on the premise that it has legal shortcuts.

If the list of favored candidates in the class is not 3 but other numbers, then exam can be declared to end like this.

Suzune and Kushida also knew this, just entered the room instead of being polite to Sakura.

One person is responsible for 13 mobile phones.

Start waiting.

Time at 8 o'clock when all mobile phones will receive message.

Student's mobile phones are not turned off, but some have set up a lock screen.

However, once a message is received, there will be a prompt that will pop up for nearly a minute even if the screen is locked.

Requires keen eyesight and quick hands.

Very quickly.

“7:59:58 seconds!"

"Everyone pay attention!"

'At eight o'clock, I started checking the information on my phone!'

xxxxxx

Other side.

8 o'clock.

First grade class A is here.

Katsuragi did not force students to gather in a fixed room or location, and then check the information on the student's mobile phones one by one.

However, he also made an arrangement, that is, people who were selected as preferential treatment recipients needed to send the information to him for reporting.

[I'm sorry that you were not selected as a preferential candidate, but please continue to work hard on the exam. ]

Kamuro-san checked the information she received from school and found that she was not selected as a preferential candidate.

She is not the type who is good at using her brain, but also knows that the preferential treatment person is worthy of the name.

If you are selected as a VIP person, as long as the information is not leaked, you will most likely receive a reward of 500,000 or 1 million private points.

And Sakayanagi gives her 200,000 a month.

Although this is a large amount of money, but 500,000 that was chosen by luck, there is no harm in taking it.

She's out of luck.

“Looks like I wasn’t chosen”

While she was thinking this, a tall handsome guy with short blond hair quietly walked over from the front.

This is Hashimoto.

Also the mainstay of Sakayanagi's faction and very good at collecting information.

And now, he came to Kamuro with his mobile phone.

Show the other party information that he has not been selected as a preferential treatment recipient.

It seems to be a sign of loyalty.

You must know that Kamuro is Sakayanagi's right-hand man.

Came as they watched each other go.

“On Island exam, don't you think Katsuragi lost a bunch of points?”

“Maybe, it was just a mistake on Katsuragi's part....That's why class's final score was changed to 70 points.” Although he said this, even Hashimoto felt a little guilty for lying.

Then, he also cursed Ryuen very loudly in his heart.

At the beginning, Katsuragi's predicted score was 336 points, and he accepted Ryuen's 1 million, so he betrayed his class.

According to his calculations, 18 points from the stronghold points would be deducted, and then Ryūen guessed the leader’s information.

Maximum loss is 68 points.

Result now is... 336 directly turned into 70 points.

The biggest reason... is that other classes also guessed Yahiko's name.

So, Hashimoto brought 168 points deduction to his Class A for just 1 million points.

This kind of thing... once discovered, he will definitely be finished!

Boy himself is a student of Class A.

Although it would be safest to collect 20 million points, he does not think that his Class A will fall off so easily.

The Result is so dangerous! His mentality is also a bit explosive.
