EPILOGUE
The Line Between the Winner and the Loser
The event chosen for the sixth battle was 'Archery', 2 vs 2. Through Akito's struggle, Class C
won. Since we played an event proposed by Class C, we were able to take the victory, making it
3 wins and 3 losses.
Sakayanagi did not make specific instructions, but only silently watched the event.
It seems that she really was hoping that it would end up as 3 wins and 3 losses.
Now, arriving at the seventh and final match.
And the event that is chosen, will probably determine our fate -
'Chess' Number of participants needed is 1 person. The time limit for chess is 1 hour (negative
time limit)
Rules · Based on standard chess rules. However, the deadline will not be extended after 41
steps.
The Commander can give instructions at any time, within a 30 minute time limit.
This time, there are no rules that add time to each subsequent step like the rules in the Fischer
random Chess.
(T / N: Fischer's Chess random rule, starting time is 5 minutes, plus 5 seconds for each step)
It's possible to adopt a slow Chess strategy. Since Chess games usually last more than two
hours, it is normal.
"With 3 wins and 3 defeats, this leads to the 7th being the determining match. Is there anything
more exciting than this? Especially with Chess as the final event. However this is a blessing
compared to the rest of the events."
Sakayanagi intends to intervene immediately and give instructions to her teammates.
This time, we might intervene at the same time.
Judging from the rules of the Commander's intervention, if I used half of my ability, I might not
be able to win.
"Isn't this a miscalculation for you, such that Class A was forced into this situation?"
"That's right. I have to admit those sporting events placed a lot of pressure on us."
Sakayanagi had made reasonable comments for the previous 6 matches.
"However, this seventh battle is not the same. For the most part, the strength of the Commander
will determine victory or defeat."
"Unfortunately, I'm also quite good at playing chess."
After that, Sakagami-sensei and Hoshinomiya-sensei will witness our battle.
It's better to first place a line of defense.
"Oh ... this is coincidence. That means, I could have failed in this Chess match."
But the most important thing in this game is the opening. We both will let our chosen students
duel first.
I chose Horikita Suzune from the list of students who had not yet participated.
On the other hand, the student chosen by Sakayangi was Hashimoto Masayoshi.
"Of course Horikita-san will appear. As a top student, she hasn't played so far because you
deliberately saved her for the final event."
"Besides, I don't need to save her anymore."
Horikita and Hashimoto who were notified of each class, started walking towards the venue.
"Don't you two feel thirsty?"
Hoshinomiya-sensei, worried about the two of us who haven't stood up from our seats since the
beginning of the exam.
