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

“It's for temporary use," Karuizawa made her device in the air using her palm, “because all our mobile phones were confiscated before 8 o'clock....”

It was just a simple word, but it hurt quite a lot of people's hearts.

The mobile phone was confiscated before 8 o'clock....

Isn't that before information to confirm whether you got the preferential recipient was sent?

People in Class A took a breath.

They just felt like doing a good job by not participating in the conversation.

But now, isn’t this the case for you too?!

Even classmates themselves don’t know whether you are the VIP, so how can you reveal the clues and let others find out?!

Isn't this even more amazing than what Class A did?

For Ichinose, previous temptation became ineffective.

'Because there is no way to detect the favored person in Hikigaya-kun’s class.....'

Because of their frenzy, Class A's lack of cooperation and C's ignorance,  students of BD just became very tormented.

While the students in Ryuen's class didn't even seem to fully understand the content of exam, so “2-hour talk”

After it was over, Ichinose just sighed.

"I don't know how to take the exam if people continue....”

She was troubled, not just by the rabbit group she was in now, but also by worrying about the other 11 groups.

If none of Class A participated, and none of C knows the identity of guy receiving special bonus, then passing test will really be impossible.

“Hikigaya-kun, what are you...?" A person sighed and she found that Hachiman was walking up to the third floor.

If he wanted to go to the deck or go back to the dormitory, then he should go down.

She quickly caught up with him.

“I'll pick up Horikita, discussion is probably over by now....”

“Ah, you and Horikita-san have such a good relationship!” Ichinose said with a slight blush on her cheeks.

But this is probably a rumor in the school.

Hachiman and Suzune often eat lunch in the classroom, and she makes it by herelf.

Therefore, a considerable number of people misunderstood that he was dating Suzune.

“No, I just want to return the phone to her....” Hachiman destroyed good feel of love blossoming around, “I originally wanted to deceive people, but I didn't have the chance to do it...”

'......Give your phone back to Horikita-san? Could it be that what Hikigaya-kun is  holding now is Horikita-san’s mobile phone?' And Ichinose's mind is very smart.

She immediately understood what Hachiman wanted to say.

Probably if someone wanted to ask him if he was a preferential treatment person, then he would just take out his phone and show the [not selected] as a preferential treatment person].

But he was holding someone else’s mobile phone, so he might really be a VIP.

But it's also possible that he was just trying to create suspicion, and that he was actually not a preferential treatment person and was deliberately making people suspect that he was.

So treacherous.

Ichinose felt even more troubled because if students exchanged mobile phones with each other without carefully checking personal information, it would be easy to give wrong answers. '.....I have to give some advice to the students in Class B after I get back.'

But if this goes at real force, Class B seems to have no hope at all in this exam.

Ichinose was thinking about whether to come up with a list of favored candidates in his class to agree with Hikigaya-kun's continued symbiotic alliance.

It's just....this exam is also an opportunity for Class B.

Very close to A.

Teacher Hoshinomiya also hopes that she can show her abilities. But the person faced was Hikigaya-kun...

Isn't this over before it even begins?

Ichinose was really troubled.

But, Hachiman just continued to walk forward, but he found that Ichinose was now also following him quickly. 'Um? What's going on?'

"I want to persuade Katsuragi-kun to give up on Class A's non-participation plan....“ Ichinose is now walking on Hachiman's right side and parted her lips cheekily, “Or does walking with me bother you?”

She seemed to make a pitiful face.

It won't bother you.

Because Hachiman didn't know what kind of shampoo she used, but always had a fragrant smell on her body, which was really not annoying at all.

“Actually, Ichinose, what do you think of the results of the last Island exam?" Hachiman decided to pass his own time for a while.

Boom!

This was a difficult exam for Ichinose.

Not only did she take in Kaneda once, but ended up feeding a spy, who also discovered the information about the team leader.

As a result, in order to maintain the score, she had to make a deal with Hikigaya-kun....

To this day, the class still owes him living expenses worth 98 class evaluation points until graduation.

....It can be said that she has been given a very expensive course.

“I thought this school was very sunny, and got happy to live here with everyone for 3 years......But now it seems this school not only allows me to live a happy life, but also needs to cheer for the rest of Class B....”

This answer was a bit wrong, but Hachiman already understood this meant Ichinose was completely serious.

The reason why Class B is still  B is because they are capable enough, so they can pass the exam without using any crooked brains.

In other words, must follow the general requirements honestly.

At the same time, she clearly knew that Chihiro's identity as the leader was leaked, but Ichinose still retained her.....

You must know.

If they had changed her at that time, score in the island test would have become 1221.

And because Class A guessed the identity of the leader of B incorrectly, final score would have been 1208 points.

Then Ichinose's class would be promoted.

But, she just didn't.

Class is really a different kind of existence in this school.

“Then I'm looking forward to it....You growing up and accepting me when the time comes!”

“• ! •” Ayanokoji of 2nd year.

“Accept you?” Ichinose blinked her eyes cutely, trying to ask for more.

"As you know, if you save 20 million points, you can go to the class you like. And I don't like A very much.... I think your atmosphere in Class B is pretty good!”

“.....” Hikigaya of other Universe, who just thought Ichinose's class is nothing but to be frowned upon. 'I would never go there!'

'Hey, they are very stupid but sweet, and will count money for me after being sold, which will make me feel very relieved. Moreover, if I go to Class B who still owes him money, will be as a creditor. According to the attributes of little angel in their class, there is probably no chance of me being isolated. And when the time comes, let Class B pool money to buy Sakayanagi over, even if she is in Class B, will be able to reach Class A and become very stable!'

So, this is also a method of competition. However, when she heard this kind of statement, Ichinose was very dumbstruck.....

But quickly, she asked very cautiously. "So Hikigaya-kun doesn't want to stay in Class C anymore?"

"Well, you know about this exam. If they are not too useless, why don't people even know whether they are VIPs?.....I am just worried if they find out, others will too and class will be deducted a lot of points!” Hachiman said, while thumping his chest.

And this may seem like small talk, but it actually conveys this time exam has been decided.

All the students in Class C just don’t know who is the preferential candidate, so Ichinose, don’t waste your time, even if it’s A.

Class C cooperated with you and joined the conversation, but the people are still clueless, and he will not change this.

And Ichinose is also smart enough, which can be seen from the fact that she immediately turned into a bitter melon face.

She has been served.

Knowing that it was basically impossible for their class to win this exam alone and suppress Hikigaya-kun....

Only, Ichinose is not completely defeated yet.

Because apart from her own class, she couldn't fight, and there was also whose situation was even more tense than hers.

That is Class A.

“Ichinose, what are you doing here?” The members of the Dragon Team walked out of the room,  Katsuragi looked up and saw a big girl moving in their direction.

As a student and leader of Class A, he was very concerned about B, who was very close to them in terms of academic and physical abilities.

So, he did a lot of homework on Class B's boss, Ichinose.

Class AB is very close, so now a time when special attention is needed.

Especially, the fact this time, no Ichinose in the Dragon Team was enough for him to care about.

“Now that you come here, I know what you're going to say." Katsuragi is very tall and strong, but Ichinose did not waver at all.

“Why should students in Class A refuse to participate in the conversation? It’s like Katsuragi-kun is refusing this exam....”

"You're right." However, Katsuragi leaned directly against the hard wall and said coldly, “I am refusing this exam.”

Chapter 199

"You're right." However, Katsuragi leaned directly against the hard wall and said coldly, “I am refusing this exam. It is easy for various loopholes to appear in this kind of exam where all students just can't be monitored uniformly....”

But Ichinose remained silent, which caused her eyes to shift a little, because she found that what Katsuragi said was similar to Hikigaya-kun just now.

'In other words, could Hikigaya-kun actually be placed in Class A?'

"So we decided not to join because we are Class A. For this kind of exam, we just need to maintain our class status!” Katsuragi said calmly, he really had enough of making own reputation go down.

This is indeed a safe approach, but it must have been done after failure in the exam.

Because if he loses here, it will be over.

So you have to cherish the feathers even more, love every point and don't let it be deducted.

This school's class ranking ABCD is based solely on  evaluation scores.

Students who are initially assigned to Class A will have a sense of superiority and pressure.

If they fall, will be laughed at and prove their own incompetence.

And if you climb up quickly after falling, still have morale.

But if you fall for a long time, like Ryuen, who has been Class D for a long time.

Now that you call Ishizaki or others Class D members, students will get angry at you.

He was originally a student in Class C or something like that.

This is an example before our eyes.

So, Katsuragi's under a lot of pressure.

“Not just for this exam, I will continue this policy even for future battles!” Katsuragi now seemed to have noticed Hachiman, so he looked away.

“I have heard about your class Reward and punishment system, so Hikigaya, you have worked really hard to get into Class A....It's just that I won't just watch you climb up!” Katsuragi showed himself as a true member of Class A.

But it is just a pity that both Hachiman and Sakayanagi ignored a bald child like him very early.

'....I think Katsuragi is the easiest one to bully.' So, Hachiman just kept a polite smile in response to his newfound fighting spirit.

“Are you kidding me?!”

There were students in the room, noisy sounds came out.

Just hearing this voice, Hachiman immediately walked inside, because the person who said such words was none other than Horikita Suzune.

It stands to reason.

The conversation of the Dragon Team in Room 303 should have ended, but the students have not yet moved out completely.

The one who just walked out was Katsuragi from Class A, while Hachiman’s members are still inside.

Total is 14 people.

Now there are only Kushida, Hirata, Horikita, Ryuen, Kanzaki Ryuji from Class B in the room.

Ryuen sat on a chair with a smile on his face, but Suzune looked very unhappy.

"What happened?" Hachiman didn't pay attention to their conversation just now, so he didn't have a real understanding of the situation at the scene.

“Ryuen-kun wants our Class C to cooperate with him, and he also wants to take photos of Horikita-san....”

Taking pictures again.

'Ryuen, do you really like photographing girls that much?'

“What are the conditions he gave?”

“Does it mean that Hikigaya-kun..... really wants to cooperate with him?" Hirata became a little hesitant, even his voice during the last word was quite not good.

“He asked us to tell him the names of all the VIP recipients!” But Suzune really felt disgusted inside, just wanted to spit her facts out, and vent, “And he will not guess the preferential ones of our class, so that will not be deducted points....”

“He also wants to cooperate with our Class B!” Kanzaki, who was sitting in the corner, also took the opportunity to explain, “The conditions are the same. He will not guess our class and choose the answer method of Result 1, which means that everyone here will answer questions together on the 3rd night, and share the results with 500,000 private points every month! There are four classes in one grade, and now you actually want to join forces with Class B and C....”

“Could it be that Ryuen-kun, this time you are..." Ichinose walked in, and she probably heard what happened.

Unexpectedly, Ryuen proposed the same plan as Hikigaya-kun.

“Of course it's Class A! You also know that school is ranked according to class evaluation scores. In the end, only students in Class A can get everything after graduation, and other classes are just trash! So don't even deny it, you definitely not want to stay behind forever, but take a look....” Ryuen wrote and drew on the paper, “Class A scored 1258 points, while B 1121, Hikigaya scored 1041 points, and Class D..... 0 points.”

“...Look, the difference in scores between 3 classes of ABC is very small, but the distance between you and my class is too far, so what's the harm if I pull down Class A for you?” Ryuen paused for a moment, his sharp gaze now fell straight towards, “Ichinose, you guys will be directly recommended to Class A!”

If Ryuen gets the list of three preferential recipients from Class B, and then he guesses correctly.

Class A -150 points.

It will become 1108.

Class B can be promoted to A if they do nothing.

Pick it up for free.

“.....”

When Ryuen said this, even Ichinose seemed to hesitate slightly, but this hesitation did not turn into wavering,

“We, Class B, will not join your schemes! Because it was YOU, Ryuen-kun who sent Kaneda-kun here during Island's exam, and the purpose was to obtain information about the leader of our Class B!” Ichinose won't forget the culprit of her old scars, that made her feel ashamed....gets overworked by Kanzaki-kun to discuss class matter.

'Because she has been tricked before, does she think Ryuen’s proposal looks sweet but is actually poisonous?'

This is true.

If Ryuen betrays midway and Class B's favored recipient is guessed, then pressure on Class A will be reduced, and Class B will be reduced to  C.

"But is it really okay for you to do this?" After being rejected by Ichinose, Ryuen didn't seem to be in a hurry, "You have to know that even your class teacher wants you to be promoted to Class A, and the gap between is so damn big, it literally broke her heart! Don't you know yet? The members who originally stayed in the Dragon Group were you and Kanzaki, but after the last exam's score was revealed, you were actually thrown into another group....And what kind of students are in that other group? Ordinary, random boy players....just rubbish students!”

"Hey, Ryuen!" X2

Kanzaki and Hirata were furious at the same time, because Ryuen's words also meant that he scolded the students in both class respectively.

“Haha——” But Ichinose just kept smiling like a fool, “This and previous exams were all decided and assigned by the school, so it's not that Sensei had any other ideas.....”

"You really don't know." Ryuen actually laughed like a damn pig in her face, “Exam rules this time are indeed the school's regulations, but teachers can choose which students to assign to what group. So as the boss of Class B, Do you know the reason why you were transferred to a group like the Rabbit?"

He decided to give it a try.

"Probably because I was there." Hachiman suddenly interrupted, and this interruption made Ryuen shut up immediately and even start thinking.

So the class teacher of Class B actually felt that Hachiman Hikigaya of Class C was better than Class A.

Are other random students very scary?

Indeed, one small island test directly turned the huge tide of the battle and scored 491 points, which was simply insane!

So, head teacher of Class B sent the strongest player to pass the new exam.

And if there is such a Good vs Excellent, then.... not dragon group that is strongest, maybe the Rabbits are jumping around with a hammer to cook Rice balls....

“.....”

Ryuen didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, because he suddenly felt that he was boring in the so called excellent Dragon group.

And he initially considered this, why is there no Hikigaya Hachiman from Class C among the students in Dragon Group? 'But mediocre people like Hirata and Kushida, are you kidding?!

In the Dragon, there is Katsuragi, him, and Kanzaki Ryuji.

This is the top combat power, but Hikigaya Hachiman is not here, and even Ichinose, which makes him feel uncomfortable.

From the information obtained from Sakagami working on his computer, group can be arranged by the teacher to a certain extent.

And he also learned that Hikigaya and Ichinose are both in the rabbit group.

He felt that just a teacher of Class B doing something out of pity.

But, it’s really not that simple, probably feel that Hikigaya Hachiman is the most dangerous....

So in fact, eyes of this teacher, Class C is now on high alert.

This performance made Ryuen very unhappy, so he originally wanted to mock Ichinose for being thrown into the garbage group, but Hikigaya just interrupted and stopped him from doing a good job of having fun.

So, was Hikigaya Hachiman just born to restrain him?

“Hikigaya, you are really a powerful guy....” Ryuen said in a dull tone, “Although I also like to follow women, but you follow me regardless of whether it is Ichinose or Horikita.”

"..." Speaking of which, Hachiman really couldn't deny it, because he had really been with Suzune during this period.

'...Sometimes, I would also have dinner with a girl named Sakayanagi. It's just Ryuen, can't you be more polite?! It doesn't matter if you have good luck with your love life, but it's such an unpleasant thing to say!'
