"Teacher."
Inside the bus, Ichinose quickly stood up and said: "If a dropout occurs, is there a remedial method?"
"There is."
Hoshinomiya helplessly spread her hands.
"This exam requires twenty million private points and three hundred class points for remediation, but your private points should not be enough now, so it's better to try your best to pass the exam."
Hikigaya also noticed.
Perhaps it was the guy from Class D that Hoshinomiya cared about, who didn't perform up to his potential.
Now Class D poses no threat to Class B, Hoshinomiya doesn't take Class D seriously at all, and she's not very interested in Class A either.
But as long as there's a possibility of dropouts in Class B, Hoshinomiya Chie will still do her best to fulfill her duty as a teacher.
"Indeed."
Ichinose furrowed her brows, thinking about the exam strategy.
The people around her unanimously cast expectant glances, waiting for Ichinose to make arrangements.
To be honest.
Hikigaya also had no idea what to do.
Although he felt that this exam was not difficult, as long as he fulfilled his duty as a corporate slave, passing the exam should not be difficult.
But if it were to switch to Ichinose's position.
Hikigaya felt like his mind was a mess.
After all.
He didn't have a clear understanding of the people in his class, he couldn't even recognize their names, let alone make any arrangements.
"... Shibata, what do you think we should do?"
Hikigaya asked in a low voice.
"Eh?"
Caught off guard by the sudden conversation, Shibata was taken aback before replying: "Listen to Honami, or do you have any ideas?"
"That's true..."
Hikigaya responded helplessly.
To be honest.
With the social skills of Shibata and others, this exam should not be very difficult for Class B, but if they want to get high rewards, it would be as difficult as reaching the sky.
The cooperative relationship between Class B and Class D.
To be honest.
Hikigaya felt a headache thinking about this crappy cooperation, it was completely like being a nanny for Class D.
Given Ichinose's personality.
She would probably consider cooperating with two classes again, taking care of Class D, and at most adding other classes.
"Hmm."
In less than a moment, Ichinose nodded and showed a brilliant smile:
"I want to make sure that no one drops out in this exam, after all, I really like this class, I really don't want to see anyone leave."
"This exam separates boys and girls, Kanzaki, Shibata, can you guys take care of the boys' side?"
"No problem."
Kanzaki nodded calmly, which was really reassuring.
"I got it, leave it to me."
Shibata assuredly patted his chest and looked back: "Everyone, it seems that the instructions say that there is only a chance to contact during lunch and dinner. If there is any trouble during the exam, you can find me at any time!"
"Then the girls' side."
Ichinose looked back at the girls: "This exam also needs to be divided into several groups, Yume-chan, Mako-chan, and others, I'll leave it to you."
"Don't worry, Honami-chan."
"I also don't want to see anyone missing from the class."
Several girls clasped their hands together, showing a happy smile.
Soon.
Ichinose and Kanzaki and others had formulated a detailed lineup.
Although the detailed situation will definitely have to wait until they get off the bus, Kanzaki and others still established groups based on three people.
Even in a strange environment, having some friends around can provide help.
Compared to other classes.
The classmates in the class B are more trustworthy.
"Hikigaya."
Kanzaki walked over to Shibata and said: "You, me, and Shibata form a group of three, and then see if we need to add other people, or just integrate into other classes with us three."
"Understood."
Hikigaya nodded.
Kanzaki and Shibata.
One is the second in command of the class and the other is the third in command.
They probably also thought about taking him, who is not good at socializing.
And yet.
Compared to other people in the class, he was relatively familiar with Kanzaki and Shibata, which indeed made him feel a lot more relaxed.
He had no right to be dissatisfied, and he would see if he needed to change his mind later.
What was more concerning was.
Hikigaya looked up at Ichinose Honami not far away, who was arranging the girls' groups with a smile on her face.
He really didn't expect.
Ichinose didn't mention the cooperation with Class D at all, she didn't want to cooperate with Class D at all.
She probably realized it too.
It's not a solution to continue like this.
If every exam she considers the cooperation with Class D, Class B will only be constantly dragged down.
At least that's the case for now.
And the last exam.
Although he didn't know how Class D did it, Class D did defeat Class C.
From zero points to the current 209 points, Class D has undoubtedly grown rapidly.
If we want to rise to Class A.
There is simply no strength to take care of other classes, Ichinose is also reflecting to some extent.
However.
Although it is like this now.
Once they separate, he doesn't know if Ichinose will continue to take care of those students who are not wanted by other classes.
After all.
Such students definitely exist.
If it weren't for Kanzaki and Shibata, Hikigaya felt that he would most likely be left to the end and mixed into a group with other loners.
In short.
Since Ichinose is reflecting her action.
It's always a good thing.
I Just don't know how long Ichinose can do something like this.
...
The bus arrived at the destination.
After handing in the phone.
Hikigaya followed the crowd of Class B and got off the bus.
Fortunately, it seemed that because Class D hadn't shown its formidable strength, Hoshinomiya didn't come to tease him again.
What caught his eye was a spacious playground, and not far away were two antique school buildings.
Everyone followed the teacher to the gymnasium, where they could see the second and third grades coming in almost at the same time.
Unlike the calmness of Class A and Class B.
Class C and Class D were still showing a noisy posture.
"I'll assume that you understood the exam content on the bus, so I won't go into detail here."
"So let's start now."
"I will arrange the time and place for forming groups, please discuss and form six groups in each grade."
"The time and place for forming large groups will be arranged to start at eight o'clock tonight. As for deciding on the group, regardless of the size, it has nothing to do with the school."
"That's all."
The middle-aged teacher holding the microphone finished speaking and walked off the stage, leaving the rest of the time to them.
Hikigaya hung behind Class B and observed Class C, and at a glance, he observed Ryuen hanging at the end of Class C.
Different from the previous group of followers.
At this time, Ryuen was alone and lonely hanging behind Class C.
This should be what Ibuki Mio said, Ryuen was robbed of the position of leader.
Probably.
There was a serious mistake on the rooftop.
As a leader, he naturally needs to be responsible for his actions.
However.
Since Ryuen was the leader who won at the beginning of school, Hikigaya didn't know if there was anyone in Class C who could match him.
In other words.
Ryuen probably felt the responsibility and voluntarily gave up the position of class leader.
So.
Now he can be a corporate slave with a calm face.
But on the other hand.
The position that was given up because of responsibility may also stand up again because of responsibility, this probably depends on the ability of the new leader.
Hikigaya looked at the front of Class C.
Several boys from Class C were huddled around the blond Kaneda, who was probably the new leader.
Hikigaya really didn't think Kaneda could be a qualified leader.
At most.
He could only be considered a bit clever.
Hikigaya felt that he could handle him now, and Ryuen's return was probably just a matter of time.
While Hikigaya was daydreaming, Class A gathered and formed a group of fourteen people, and then a leading boy walked in front of everyone.
"As you can see, we in Class A plan to form a group with these members. The current number of people in the group is fourteen as you can see, and if one more student joins, we will have the necessary number of people."
"So, we want to recruit people who are willing to join!"
Hmm?
Is there such a good thing in the world?
Hikigaya suddenly turned his head and was a bit moved, but he still had to give a heads up to the second in command.
"Hey hey hey, what are you talking about on your own? Only you guys are so cunning, right?"
Just then, Sudou's bluffing voice from Class D rang out.
Hikigaya didn't take it to heart.
Saying that others are acting on their own, the most self-willed is your Class D.
"Can this be considered acting on one's own? In our proposal, a group is composed of students from at most two classes, and the multiplier for getting first place is also me, I don't think this is a greedy proposal that only benefits Class A."
"And in this way, the remaining three classes of you can all use three quotas of fifteen people, and each class can form a similar group, isn't that okay?"
"And, our policy is that no matter what kind of group, what kind of configuration, the remaining six people in Class A will gladly participate!"
Sudou was momentarily silenced.
Hikigaya also glanced at him without a trace.
Although a very eye-catching bald head could be seen in the group, the one who spoke was actually a guy from Class A who he didn't know.
As expected.
Katsuragi had already stepped down.
But since he can still work so obediently, Katsuragi feels like he can become an excellent corporate slave.
"Shall I go?"
Hikigaya walked behind Kanzaki and said in a low voice.
"Do you want to join that group?"
Kanzaki turned his head and frowned, Shibata and others also couldn't help but look this way, and at this time, people from Class C and Class D also walked this way.
After all.
The most likely to compete with Class A is Class B, most of them want Class B to take the lead and attract firepower.
"Hmm."
Hikigaya nodded and looked at Kaneda and said, "In this case, it should be easier for you to form groups."
Actually, it's not like that.
No matter who he teams up with, it's all business, and it doesn't make any difference to Hikigaya.
Even if he teams up with Kaneda.
Hikigaya is confident that he can get along well with him. Although Kaneda was a bit ungrateful on the uninhabited island last time, he is actually quite easy to understand.
This kind of slightly clever guy.
It's really easy to deal with.
As long as you flatter him a couple of times, Kaneda will fly to the sky.
Naturally, there are other reasons for wanting to join Class A's group
"Hmm?"
Kaneda's mouth corner suddenly showed a disdainful smile, but he didn't speak.
Seventy percent of human conversation is composed of actions and expressions.
The implication of this smile is: Kid, Now I'm the leader, you're scared, right?
"Don't worry."
Seeing this, the guy from Class A also timely added:
"If you are willing to join our group, we will not let that student bear any responsibility, even if our group falls to the last place, we guarantee that we will not let that person to drop out together with the leader, of course, as long as you didn't deliberately sabotaging the exam, or not hurting other people, if it is just poor grades, we will all be tolerant."
"I won't be the person in charge."
Hikigaya was determined.
To say whether Ichinose's leadership of Class B has any advantages.
Naturally, there are.
They are cheerful, and their personalities are very good.
Even if they team up with people from different classes.
Presumably, the guys in Class B will also be like diligent little bees, doing their best to exert their own strength, and even making concessions for the sake of the team.
It's simply the fragrant contradiction among corporate slaves.
Very popular.
Presumably, whether it's Classes A, C, or D, they would all be happy to team up with people from Class B.
"Don't worry, the person in charge of this group is Katsuragi."
The guy from Class A twitched his mouth.
Please, this group is made up of fourteen students from Class A, how could you, an outsider, be the person in charge.
"So you've made up your mind?"
Kanzaki looked at Hikigaya in front of him and asked with a frown.
"Hikigaya-kun, are you okay?"
Shibata also looked worried.
"I'm fine."
Hikigaya nodded.
With Kanzaki's agreement.
Hikigaya walked towards Class A on his own.
