Nanahara Takeshi was indeed one of the judges for the 57th beauty contest at Private Ikuei School's cultural festival.
There were a total of three special invited judges for the beauty contest, one from each grade. As he was popular and somewhat of a legendary "Famous Detective" high school student at the school, the Cultural Festival Executive Committee gave the freshman judge slot to him. That's why he was retained for the meeting today—it was for this matter.
Therefore, Kiyomi Liuli had virtually lost the competition before it even began. Even though the scoring rules of the beauty contest were quite complex and the judges' scores accounted for less than half of the total weight, as long as Nanahara Takeshi was shameless enough to give her a zero, there was a 99.99% chance she wouldn't win.
Other contestants could at least count on a baseline of 240 points from the judges, but for her, it would drop to 160. How could she possibly win?
