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

“Horse racing group exam is over.”

“The VIP recipient of this horse group is a student from Class A. His name is Minami Setsumi. Katsuragi will be here later, and you can ask him for confirmation!”

Ryūen grinned, with the joy and arrogance of turning defeat into victory, “What kind of bad name is this?”

“And you, Class C....” Suzune now gave Hachiman a fierce glare for getting Ryuen's attention.

“The recipient of the Dragon Team's is from your Class C, right? Kushida Kikyo.”

Yay, it's me Kushida-chan!

Stop cheering girl, your name is already exposed!

Indeed, she is the favored recipient of Dragon group.

“There's also rabbit group you're in, Hikigaya. Person receiving the VIP treatment is also from your class. It's  Karuizawa, right?”

What Ryuen just said was very hateful to Suzune's ears.

She had a disdainful expression on his face, but the pride in Ryuen's eyes completely shined through.

“Hachiman...” Suzune now suddenly panicked and quickly turned her attention to Hachiman.

She had completely lost her usual calmness.

Because students in the class don't know the information about favored person in class.

But when she, Hikigaya, and Kushida checked the messages received by their classmates.

Learned identities of the 3 preferential recipients in his class.

Kushida Kikyo (Dragon team), Ken Sudo (Rat team) and Karuizawa Megumi (Rabbit team).

You can directly tell information about 2 preferential treatment recipients, and there is almost no need to doubt that Ryuen knows....

“It seems like you really understand everything....” Hachiman looked at Ryūen and sighed with a somewhat complicated mood.

“Haha, so this time I have the advantage! I have mastered rules and obtained the status of all preferential treatment members of your shitty Class C! Your goal of taking advantage of our Class D will be gone!" Ryuen had won this exam around.

“Then you go ahead and finish the group exam....”

“W-what? Don't you boy feel trouble?”

“Aren't there still two VIP recipients left in Class A who haven't been found out? So name them all. Class A was deducted 150 points, and you will no longer have 0, but 150!”

“× ×” Fuck you!

Although Hikigaya's topic was a bit incomprehensible, Ryuen soon understood.

Because this guy seemed to have seen through his purpose of deliberately inviting four class representatives over.

Purpose is to achieve result 1.

Ryuen does want points but also a lot of money.

Children only do multiple-choice questions, but he wants them all!

Although it is difficult to have both, it is still possible to achieve it if you use your identity as a favored person to threaten and put pressure on the representatives of the four classes.

“You have to know that I know the information about 3 VIP's in your class.” Ryuen deliberately lowered his voice and said in a threatening tone.

“But students in my class are all using backup phones, so as long as we don't speak up and don't return the phones to the students, then your result 1 has no chance of being achieved!Rather, as long as the students in my class don't participate, then fuck Outcome 1, you won’t get a penny! And you deliberately asked me and Horikita out together, probably because we are the most difficult to deal with.....”

"..." Ryuen had nothing to say.

Once again confirmed that Hikigaya is a really annoying guy.

Scum of Previous Class D, Hikigaya actually let the students in class use backup phones, which is really ruthless.

Even if they want to use money to defeat and bribe the students of Class C one by one, they can't do it, because people don't have mobile at all!

But, Announcement on the ship and mobile phones of all students continued to receive notifications of end of the group exams for the 3 groups.

“Exam for Cow Group is over.

Students in Cow Group do not need to take the exam anymore. Please wait for results to be announced."

“Snake group exam is over.

Students in Snake group do not need to take the exam again.

Please wait for the results to be announced.”

“Tiger group exam is over.

Students in Tiger group do not need to take the exam again. Please wait for results to be announced."

Among them, Cow and Snake Group are from Class A.

All 3 preferential treatment recipients of Katsuragi's are wiped out.

Tiger from Class B.

In less than 2 minutes, leaders from Class A and B rushed towards Ryuen's way quickly!

“Ryuen! You've gone too far!” As soon as Katsuragi from Class A arrived, he immediately accused Ryuen because he knew very well that preferential treatment of the horse, cow, and snake groups were all from Class A.

And if all guesses are correct, Class A will directly deduct 150 points.

Evaluation scores of the current four.

Class A 1258 points

Class B 1121 points

Class C 1041 points

Class D has 0 points.

After deducting 150 points, Class A is left with 1108 points.

'We're going to lose to Class B!'

Ichinose and Kanzaki also looked at him with huge doubts on their faces.

Because Tiger is....

If the guess is correct, Class B will also be deducted 50 points. If wrong, plus 50 hurray!

Kukuku.... Ryuen smiled.

“I'm just returning the favor. I mentioned cooperation to you in the Dragon group this morning, but no one paid any attention to me.....But luckily there was a black sheep in your class and gave me your list of favored candidates. I only paid 500,000 for one VIP but deducted 4 instead! Tsk, tsk...It seems that you are not very united. People in class are all bunch of short-sighted guys."

“You fart!” When Katsuragi arrived, his follower Yahiko also came over and started blushing Ryuen directly.

“How could students in my class betray Katsuragi-san! Don't try to sway us?!”

Because lists of 3 groups in Class A were leaked, which means that if someone betrays, 150 points will be deducted.

At a price of 150, who dares to expose?

If discovered, he will be treated as a public enemy of the class.

So, Yahiko directly felt that Ryuen was trying to create a mutiny!

“I don't think people in my class will betray either!” Kanzaki also said quickly, with such a proud expression, no one could ever doubt this boy's secret intentions.

He is a relatively elegant person, but just now he thought words of Katsuragi's follower are quite pleasant.

Ryuen is farting!

How could there be a traitor in his Class B except Kanzaki?

“It seems that you do still have some brains.” Ryuen did not continue to sow discord.

“Actually, Hikigaya and the others cooperated with me. They betrayed  information about favored persons in their class. Didn't I say before? There are rules to verify!”

'Did Ryuen realize that provocation was useless and then dump the blame on Class C? It might as well be said this is ultimate goal of Ryuen's remarks just now....' Hachiman thought.

Ryuen wanted to drive a wedge between Class C and B.

The alliance contract between Hachiman and Ichinose is about to be torn up, but it hasn't been done yet.

But if deemed to have betrayed Class B here, then alliance will probably be gone.

Gap between Class A, B and C is very small, so Ryuen set the fire on purpose.

Create a label of Class C being unscrupulous.

Let Class A be more wary of them.

This is to get 3 ABC classes together, and then Ryuen’s own D will climb up from below.

From a certain perspective, Ryuen is very dangerous.

Even bigger than Katsuragi.

But, Hachiman really didn't want to comply with other party's wishes.

“Ryuen and I are not cooperating, And for this I can prove my innocence!”

“Oh? How are you going to prove yourself?” Ryuen looked over with a pathetic look towards Hachiman, not believing in the slightest, “You haven't even deduced the law of preferential treatment yet.”

“The VIP of Monkey group is someone from your Class D, right?”

“.....” Ryūen’s face was expressionless.

No reply.

“How do you know?” But Ibuki, who just kept silent for the whole time, couldn't help but put up a normal question.

Ryuen instantly felt worse.

“Then it's okay.....Thank you Ibuki for your efforts,” Hachiman's small grin now looked even worse to his partner Suzune, don't even talk about what Ryuen thinks.

“Koenji of Class C is also present in the monkey group...”

Then, he sent a text message.

And Ryūen clearly saw that person he was sending was also....

Message is very simple.

[There are still two and a half days to hold meetings and discussions.

You want to put an end to this boring werewolf game quickly, right?]

[As agreed before, person who answered correctly will get 50 points,  you can get 25 alone. ]

This is Class C's new distribution according to work. If you get 50 or more than 50 points, can take half of it as your share.

After Hikigaya said this, Ryuen's eyebrows jumped. Because, Koenji also responded quickly.

[OK]

Immediately afterwards.

Everyone's mobile phones vibrated, and the radio also made a sound.

[Monkey group exam is over.

Students in Monkey group do not need to take the exam again. Please wait for results to be announced. ]

“....” Ryuen, who aims to secure a fortune.

Good day....

Looked very serious.

Because VIP of monkey group is from Ryuen's class.

.....Although he knew the rules of preferential treatment earlier than Hikigaya.

But, he just suddenly asked Koenji to guess the favored person of monkey group, so he might guess wrong.

This kind of thing is not reliable.

Because Koenji is like a pervert, and his physical fitness is so strong in island exam that no matter which class he is in, will stay away from him.

So Ryuen felt... one of the 3 preferential treatment recipients in his class might have lost one on the spot.

If 3 from A + 1 B = 200 points.

-50 Damn Hikigaya!

Did you just let a group end the exam just because you wanted to put aside the relationship with him?

A group is worth 6.5 million private points!

It's not a lie that Ryuen already knows names of the recipients of 12 groups.

But now it is empty, because if Koenji's answer is correct, then Class C will have obtained the VIP of a foreign class.

So give time, Hikigaya can deduce the rules of preferential treatment.

Then it would be detrimental to him!

"Anyway, this can prove our Class C's innocence!It's a pity though.....Ryuen probably already knows the pattern. That's why he was able to tell your class's favored group to end the exam so directly. And now there are 3 VIP'S in my class whose identities have not been revealed. And through the information of the spies placed in Class D, I also know the information of the favoured recipients in Ryuen's, so our two classes can only maintain a pure stalemate. No more guessing, hehe”

Saying this, Hachiman stepped aside as if giving the stage to Ryuen, who is not showing any kind of expression just like before.
