...
And the other side.
Oreki first went to see Horikita Suzune and took away her cell phone.
Then they came to the roof of the teaching building.
This seems to be a place where Chabashira-sensei from Class D often comes, and you can find an ashtray placed on one side.
Specially used to hold the cigarette butts of the ladies' cigarettes that the irritable girl smoked.
However, the other party probably thought that Horikita Suzune was managed, and then Horikita Suzune also took action and asked Kushida to distribute old test questions, and then felt that Class D was beginning to prosper.
So there are very few cigarette butts lately.
But it's a pity.
Chabashira-sensei.
Do you think that Horikita-san is working honestly?
Horikita Suzune's cell phone was in his hand.
Horikita Suzune was careless and her phone did not have a lock screen.
So ready to use.
Oreki found the homeroom teacher's column in her address book.
Start sending messages.
[Teacher Chabashira, after thinking about it, I feel that I really cannot accept your mission. ]
[So, I am ready to defeat you. ]
"??"
Didi!
It seemed like 20 seconds passed before Horikita's phone responded.
The number labeled Sae Chabashira called.
But Oreki quickly hung up.
"Didi!"
Once, twice.
He hung up the phone calls from Chabashira twice in a row.
Oreki continued typing.
[Now please look in the direction of the physics laboratory. Don't worry, it will be over soon. ]
After typing like this, Oreki pressed the power off button on Horikita's cell phone.
And before that.
"What a surprise!"
"You asked us to get together at the same time."
The roof of the teaching building was pushed open.
Two people showed up who shouldn't have been there.
One is a man with short black hair, a straight waist, and black-rimmed glasses.
This is the president of the student council.
Manabu Horikita.
A man who stands at the top of the school's students.
The other one had blond hair and was wearing a white sweatshirt. He seemed to have just finished physical education class in the fourth period.
This is the accountant of the student council, the ruler of the second grade, and the representative of the second grade Class A, Nagumo Miyabi.
"After all, there is something important."
Oreki handed them two test papers.
Just a glance.
Nagumo glanced at Horikita Manabu, who was expressionless.
And Nagumo said, "Oreki, do you want to report it to the student council?"
"report?"
"Stop pretending, what you are giving us now is my second-grade test paper, and what you are giving Horikita-senpai is the third-grade test paper."
"Are you just going to report all students for taking the old exam questions?" Nagumo said.
"If it's a report, then I want to report it." Houtaro Oreki said. "Have you paid attention to the first grade?"
"There will be a written test on the 24th."
"But most students are not reviewing, but starting to recite the test papers they bought from the senior students."
"According to the seniors, the second month of freshmen's enrollment is a routine exam."
"And the test papers for the exam are from 10 years ago."
"So as long as you buy the test paper, even if you don't know anything if you memorize it, you can pass this test," Oreki said.
"hehe..."
Nagumo smiled.
He kind of understood what Oreki was trying to say.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
On the first day of the month, Oreki Houtaro came to the student council, which made him feel a little emotional.
As for Oreki, this guy is poisonous, and Nagumo is already prepared to avoid his sharp edge.
So he doesn't contact him.
And for the sake of his ambitious goal, he deliberately told Oreki that he had accumulated 2 million points.
It's considered a sacrifice.
However, during this process, Oreki did not touch him again.
Therefore, there is no such thing as deliberately taking away his 2 million.
This made Nagumo feel very strange.
Did you want to do this little trick?
"If you want to threaten me with reporting, it's useless."
"And will the student council accept it?" Nagumo said. "This school is very unique and cannot be judged by common sense."
"As for the test papers you got in your hands, you also know that in the past and now, the school has tacitly allowed students to buy and sell test papers. In this kind of exam, buying and selling test papers is the correct way to pass the test." Nagumo said.
While he was talking, he looked at Horikita Manabu.
Horikita didn't respond.
This is reassuring.
Because these words generally cannot be spoken directly.
And it is necessary to say this. Nagumo felt that Oreki was poisonous, so he tied Horikita Manabu to his team.
after all.
The first graders bought test papers, the second graders bought them, and then, actually, the third graders of Horikita also bought them.
This is how everyone bought it.
So it's all within the rules, and you, Houtarou Oreki, are you going to end this tradition?
"But Nagumo-senpai, have you ever considered the mood of someone who studies seriously?"
"Study seriously, but you can't get good grades, but people who buy the test papers in advance and just memorize them can get high scores."
"This is unfair to those who study seriously," Oreki said. "Since I came to this school, I want to bring fairness."
"I can understand your mood." Horikita pushed up his glasses.
"It's just that the philosophy of this school cannot be understood in one way."
"And even if you report it, the student council will probably not accept it." Horikita Manabu said. "Because the exam hasn't been taken yet, you can't prove it was a leak.
At best, these are just past test papers, just study materials. "
"And if you are dissatisfied with this, you can find that the test papers are the same after the exam is over, and then report it to the Student Council."
"If the evidence is conclusive, the student council will accept it at that time," Horikita Manabu said.
Horikita emphasized this sentence very well.
Because it is not a good thing to report again after the exam is over.
He may even be considered the enemy of all students.
Yes.
Horikita Manabu is also talking secretly.
Formal reports will not be accepted by the school.
It won't change the title or anything like that.
Oreki understood and took it.
"Yes, because it cannot go through formal channels."
"So I thought of a special method."
Saying this, Oreki raised his left hand and then put it down again.
This action seems to be a secret signal.
"What do you want to do?" Nagumo felt something was not good.
He had a bad feeling in his heart for no reason.
"What do I want to do?" Oreki said. "It's just that my hands have been hanging a little stiff, so I wanted to move them."
What a liar.
Nagumo didn't believe it and then saw Oreki taking out his mobile phone from his pocket.
What was displayed to Nagumo was a stopwatch.
"I'm only counting 10 seconds."
"Nagumo-senpai, in one minute I want you to give me 5.2 million on behalf of the second years," Oreki said.
"..." Nagumo.
???
"You asked my sophomore to give you 5 million? Why don't you just say you want to rob me?!" Nagumo felt very dissatisfied.
Because his private treasury is 5.2 million.
The 2 million he told Oreki before was just something he said on purpose.
Does Oreki want to snatch his little treasury now?
And how could such a thing be allowed?
"Then take a look," Oreki said.
Then he looked forward.
Now the three of them are standing on the top floor.
From this direction, you can see the roof of the physics laboratory building ahead.
No.
There's something on the roof.
There are three boxes, and they seem to be equipped with some kind of mechanism. The boxes can be overturned by pulling a rope or other device from a long distance.
"Could it be that--"
Nagumo felt that his ominous premonition was about to come true.
And Oreki continued,
"If in public, everyone sees the purchased test papers dropped, don't you think the school will be forced to issue new questions?"
"It is now the 14th and the school will not take the exam until the 24th, so there is plenty of time left for the school to come up with questions."
"..." Nagumo.
"…" Manabu Horikita.
"You%...*())+——" Nagumon instantly spit out in vengeance.
because.
boom--
The box has fallen over.
He doesn't know if the test paper for the first grade or the third grade was dumped.
This guy, Oreki Houtaro...has no ethics!
