"Ugh...I'm really sleepy..."
I walk through the school building yawning. It was already spring break, and although there were students working hard on club activities in the schoolyard, there was almost no sign of anyone in the school building.
Aside from that, I'm seriously sleepy. It's only natural that I slept for less than 4 hours for 2 days.
After finishing my errands, I'll go home and sleep.
While thinking this, I continued walking down the hallway until I arrived at my destination, the student council room, and knocked on the door.
"Get in"
"Excuse me"
When I entered, Nagumo was sitting on the sofa, and I couldn't see any other executives.
"Well, sit down."
When prompted, I have no choice but to sit down.
"Then I'll take your word for it. First of all, thank you for taking the trouble to take the time."
"No. Since the graduation ceremony is over, March isn't that busy anymore. April is when I get busiest with the entrance ceremony and budget for club activities for the new year."
Of course. The beginning of a new year is full of new things in every way, so it's natural to be busy.
"So? I have a pretty good guess, but what's the story?"
“Then, let me get straight to the point: I have been asked to join the student council.”
"As expected. Is it because you came at this timing because it's a turning point called spring break?"
"Well, that's true. In addition, I want to make connections in all classes for the first year, so I just thought about building a new strategy."
Since becoming a second year student, I want to work on the student council while building connections with new first year students and laying the groundwork for becoming the student council president.
"I see. In other words, you were the one responsible for Honami's crushing defeat, right?"
"Yeah. But all I did was told Ryuen the favorite event, and the true MVP is the B-class student who won in the enemy's events."
It is true that information exists, but even with information it is difficult to win in the enemy's arena, and a considerable amount of effort is required.
Therefore, I believe that the students who win in the favorite event selected by Ichinose and the others are the MVPs.
"Well, that's true. I welcome it, but what kind of school would you like to have if you become the student council president? Is it a school where the weak disappear, like I want?"
Basically, I agree with Nagumo. It is the providence of the world that the strong have good thoughts and the weak disappear.
"That's true for 90% of people, but in my case..."
With that in mind, I will talk about my desired school policy.
"Well, I guess that's what you want. You're probably even more selfish than me."
"I won't deny it. But I was originally a weak person. Now that I've become a strong person, it's inevitable that I want that."
There are many selfish students in this school, not only Nagumo, but also Ryuen, Arisu, and Koenji, but I think I'm the most selfish among them.
But I like who I am now.
In the past, I was an idiot who worked for others for free, but I don't need that person anymore.
When I work for free, it's for myself and the people I care about, and when I help others, they'll absolutely have to pay for it.
"I see. But Honami has already been working hard as a student council officer for over half a year. In order to take the position of student council president, you need to close the gap considerably, right?"
"Don't worry. Ichinose will probably give up on being the student council president in six months."
All I have to do is expel students from Ichinose's class within six months and ask her to give up her position as student council president.
If you do that, they will gladly give it to you.
If she doesn't give in, I'll have to eat up Ichinose's class along with Arisu and Ryuen until he does.
"I guess so. I thought you would definitely say that."
Nagumo, who has a screw loose in his head, seems to understand what I'm thinking in the same way.
“There was no one other than Honami for a year, so it was a relief.”
While saying this, he holds out his hand, so I put my hand out in response and shake his hand.
"Welcome to the student council. It won't start until April, but you'll start working then."
"Of course"
No matter how much I try to get Ichinose to give up on her desire to become President, I won't be able to become the highest authority if I can't do this job.
“Oh, and will you also recruit from new first year students?”
"For the future, there will be about one to three people if juniors want to enroll."
"Well, that's about it."
Or rather, admission has already been decided. If she turns out to be better than I imagined and becomes interested in the student council, I'll bring her in.
I want to have more allies in the student council in case Ichinose doesn't give up the position of student council president because my method is dangerous.
Well, things related to the student council will only start in April. I have other things to do now.
To be more specific, there will be training at the training gym in Keyaki Mall after this.
An hour and a half later...
"Sorry, I made you wait."
While I was waiting in a private room inside the training gym, the door opened and Ayanokoji entered.
A private room is literally a training room that can be used by individuals, and it's reasonably spacious and has training equipment, and there are no surveillance cameras, so it's the perfect place for secret training.
The most expensive option is 5,000 points per hour, which is quite high.
However, since I make a lot of money, it's not a big deal for me, so I rent it for 2 hours.
And from now on, when I have Ayanokoji train me, I plan to do it in a private room.
"Don't worry, it's before the meeting time. We're fully prepared too."
"It's good to have a video camera ready."
"Well."
Ayanokoji muttered this while looking at the video camera fixed on a tripod in the corner of the room, but on days when I don't train at the gym, I need to review the records and visualize the best movements.
"For now, I don't know your ability, so I want to test it first. So, I'll focus on defense at first, and you can attack as you like. There's no need to be shy."
While speaking, Ayanokoji stands in the center of the room.
He doesn't have a particular stance, but I can't see any openings and can't imagine winning.
"Understood"
However, I can't move forward if I don't do it, so I take a stance, then, after a beat, close the distance between me and Ayanokoji and throw a fist at his face.
Ayanokoji tries to stop it by making a par with his left palm, but just before he can stop it, my left foot swings into Ayanokoji's side, lowering the trajectory of my fist slightly to the throat.
He then leans back to avoid the fist and blocks the kick with his right hand.
However, I had predicted this much, so I didn't panic and put my foot down, then closed the distance between me and Ayanokoji, whose center of gravity was tilted back.
Seiken punch, kick kick, chop from the top, knee kick, elbow strike, roundhouse kick
And he dodges every attack...
(Seriously this guy...)
He prevents everything with minimal movement. Moreover, instead of accepting it, he parries it.
I am also training myself to parry enemy attacks, but I know how difficult it is to parry continuous attacks.
Despite this, Ayanokouji has a cool face and is indifferent, yet he is politely accepting the situation.
I know it's a higher rank, but I didn't expect it to be this powerless.
(Damn. Then...)
I threw a backfist, which was parried, and I immediately created space, twisted my body and regained my stance, then jumped high and immediately hit Ayanokouji's head with a heel drop.
If it hits you, you might get a concussion, and if you get it wrong, you might get damage to your skull, but in this case, I'm sure you'll dodge it without any hesitation.
That was the moment I thought about it.
Ayakoji grabbed my leg as he swung down with his right hand. As a result, the momentum disappears from my legs, and my upper body follows gravity and heads towards the ground, but since Ayanokoji has my legs, I end up like a landed tuna.
Then, Ayanokoji puts his left hand around my back and slowly lowers me down, but the person in question doesn't even sweat or look tired.
"I see. I can roughly tell Hikigaya's ability."
"I see. By the way, how old are you on par with me?"
"...you're on par with me when I was 8 years old."
Seriously? In other words, my ability is on par with Ayanokoji from 2nd to 3rd grade.
I knew he was stronger than me, but he's much stronger than I imagined.
“By the way, how do you compare to a normal White Room student?”
According to Arisu, Ayanokoji is White Room's best masterpiece, but I don't know how skilled an average White Room student is.
"When I turned 13, the other members of the White Room except me were eliminated, but I think I was on par with the last one to be eliminated.''
I see. If that's true, it would mean that I'm now an 8-year-old Ayanokoji and a 12- or 13-year-old normal White Room student, but isn't a normal White Room student a complete pig compare to Ayanokoji?
The environment is clearly too different.
"In any case, I know Hikigaya's ability, and from now on, I will fight in a slightly stronger state than you and imitate your fighting style, so you can experience the areas where you are lacking.''
He shows his preparedness while casually saying something outrageous, but I have no intention of running away since it's what I wanted.
"Understood"
As if to respond, I also took a stance and launched an assault on Ayanokoji.
I definitely intend to use it as my own sustenance.
All for the sake of remaining strong.
__________
“So that’s all for today?”
"Oh, oh...I'll ask you next time."
In the private room, I replied to Ayanokoji as usual, even though I am dying.
After entering the private room, I fought him for over an hour, but lost completely.
As he declared, Ayanokoji will repeatedly attack me with a more sophisticated style than mine, and I'm sure I'll barely be able to outdo it and end up in poverty.
What's more, Ayanokoji adjusted the power of his attacks so that I wouldn't be seriously injured.
It's really a monster that he doesn't show any fatigue on top of that.
"Yeah. If I leave the gym with you, I might get in trouble, so I'll go first."
After saying that, Ayanokoji leaves.
Well, he has been attracting attention lately. Even though I had made contact with Ayanokoji at the closing ceremony yesterday, there was a high chance that he would be considered unfaithful if we left the gym together.
In any case, it was a meaningful time for me. His slow attack was my ideal type.
I can record it with a camera and review it many times to instill the ideal movements into my body.
When I gains more skill, he will probably become a little more serious, so we will study his movements again at that time.
(...No, I have to build a body before that)
Techniques are important in order to be able to unleash strong attacks, but you also need to create an ideal body.
In the past, I was just as good as I was, and now I'm pretty confident physically, but I'm nowhere near this robot.
Having made that decision, I extended my private room, sat on a bench, and drank a sports drink.
After a certain amount of rest, I will head to the training equipment and use all my physical strength for training except for returning to the dormitory.
Ideally, I would have a slender but strong body like Ayanokoji.
It will be impossible for me to become equal to him, who has been improving himself in the White Room since he was born, while I am still in school, I still want to close the distance as much as possible.
After that, I drank a sports drink and concentrated on training until I was at my limit.
2 hours later...
"……I'm home"
"Welcome home, Hachiman-kun. I just made some tea and have some hot water left over. Would you like something to drink?"
"Then let's have some cocoa."
When I returned to my room, I was exhausted, Hiyori greeted me with a smile.
I feel like I've recovered about 20% of my physical strength just by doing that.
I sit on the bed while being comforted by Hiyori, and she places the cocoa and sweets on the table before sitting down next to me.
"From what I see, you're tired, are you okay?"
"I'm not okay at all, so I want Hiyori to heal me."
While saying this, I pushed Hiyori down and took off her jacket and skirt, revealing her pink underwear, and then hugged her.
I'm tired so I want to feel Hiyori's warmth and work on recovering my strength.
"You're so horny, Hachiman-kun. We were so close to each other yesterday, but you couldn't do anything to us, right?"
Hiyori smiles bitterly, thinking that it can't be helped, but yesterday's incident was almost a reverse rape.
When the three of them found out about the lucky lewd thing I had done to Matsushita, they turned off the highlights, chained my arms and legs to the bed, straddled me and continued to shake their hips until morning, which had quite an impact.
...Well, it wasn't that bad after all.
A strange door opened.
In any case, in addition to being tired, I had no intention of holding back after seeing Hiyori's lustrous appearance, so I hugged her and kissed her while wrapping my arms around her hips.
"Hmm... Hachiman-kun, you're sweating so much... Thuu."
"Because I spent a lot of time training. Also, Hiyori, would you like to start training from spring break?"
“Is that in preparation for the special exam that will be held next year?”
"Ah. I'm not saying you have to be in the top class, but it's better to be at the top of the bottom."
Although Hiyori has high academic ability, her athletic ability is low.
There are quite a few dregs with low academic ability and athletic ability, so it's the ones who have the ability.
However, from now on, if there is a special exam that emphasizes athletic ability and includes expulsion as a penalty, Hiyori will be in a very dangerous position.
To avoid this, I want her to have a certain level of athletic ability.
Well, in case of an emergency, I can just crush a student with athletic abilities close to Hiyori.
As long as Hiyori's expulsion can be avoided, I don't care what happens to a third person's life.
"I see...I understand. I would like to do some running starting tomorrow as well."
Hiyori makes a fist, but the gesture is adorable, so I pull her closer and put my arm around her waist.
"If you're worried, I'll give you strength. Let's do our best from now on."
"……yes"
Hiyori nods slightly. I don't know what special exams will be held next year, but I plan on getting through them with Hiyori and the others.
I will use any means necessary for that purpose.
“By the way, what about Arisu and Masumi?”
"Masumi-san is visiting the art club, and Arisu-san is going to Keyaki Mall.''
Without even bringing Masumi? Then she might be planning something bad.
Well, Arisu probably has her own thoughts on that, so let's not criticize her about that.
I've been thinking of something bad, and I'm planning on doing it during spring break.
With that thought in mind, I resumed hugging Hiyori.
Yuki Himeno was irritated. Originally, she wasn't often in a good mood, and she didn't get that irritated often, but now she was feeling irritated for the first time in a while.
"Wow, this cake is delicious, Honami-chan should try it too."
“This Mont Blanc is delicious too, try it.”
"Nyahaha...thank you."
The reason is that the scene in front of me was Ichinose eating cake with her five best friends.
However, perhaps because Ichinose hasn't recovered from the shock of her defeat in the special exam, she is more timid than usual.
(Hey, what's the point in licking each other's wounds like this? I'd rather improve myself than lose and lick each other like this.)
Himeno murmured while clicking her tongue inwardly.
She can't help but play with others, but she gets tired of playing with her class because it takes so long each time.
Himeno herself had no intention of licking each other's wounds with Ichinose and the others, nor did she have any intention of watching them.
Originally, Himeno was wandering around for a change of pace, but she ran into Ichinose and six others near Keyaki Mall.
They are the members of C class who don't hate Shiranami, and they were invited to join the party.
I declined, complaining in a roundabout way about the class vote, saying I didn't have any points, but I was told they would buy it.
When she asked where she had earned the points, she was told back that she had secured thousands of points by arranging for girls in other classes to use their own useful personal items.
Himeno was also taken aback by this.
She thought to herself that if they were going to go that far, they should have just thrown out someone in the class vote from the beginning.
Himeno was sure that she wouldn't be expelled because she was a little above average in sports, studying, and class, and had never clearly held them back.
Of course, I was dissatisfied with Ichinose's relief campaign, but I didn't want to complain and become the target of criticism, so I reluctantly offered my points instead of objecting.
From Himeno's point of view, she would rather cut off one of her classmates from the beginning than sell her personal belongings to other people to gain points.
But that's not what I dislike most.
On the day of the class vote, when Himeno heard that Hachiman and Arisu should have discarded Shiranami, she was convinced, but Ichinose does not approve of that opinion and she has no intention of changing her mind.
When she made that decision, I thought, "What an idiot!"
It's good to lose. Because everyone loses sometimes.
It's okay to have wrong ideas.
Because people are creatures that grow by making mistakes.
But I can't forgive her for not trying to change her wrong thinking.
Ichinose's idea would be a fine idea in a normal school, but in this school with a meritocratic policy, it is a wrong idea, but she has no intention of changing and will stick to the policy of helping the weak.
And it is clear that as long as you continue to follow that policy, your class will continue to deteriorate.
There are demons in the same grade, such as Arisu, Hachiman, and Ryuen, who have no sense of ethics at all, but they will happily make fun of their class.
From Himeno's point of view, she didn't want to be seen as an idiot and live with zero points, so she accepted an invitation from Hachiman to become a spy and sold all the information about the end-of-year exam, and when she went to a karaoke house with a group two days before the exam.
I slipped a laxative into their drink under the cover of my sluggishness.
However, Himeno has no regrets.
There is no benefit to riding the mud boat called Ichinose like this.
To be honest, I was completely displeased with participating in the above-mentioned fatigue party.
Currently, there are around 20 students in Class C (although they will almost definitely fall into Class D next month) who are dissatisfied with Ichinose.
The only people who are not dissatisfied are Ichinose's best friend and the weaker student in her class.
Although Himeno is the one who is dissatisfied, she reluctantly agrees to participate because it is clear that it will cause trouble if she politely refuses.
(However, if I am considered to be Ichinose's best friend, my classmates won't suspect me of being a spy, so it's not a bad cover.)
"How about you, Yuki-chan? The shortcake is delicious."
"...Then I'll take it."
While I was thinking about that, Yume Kobashi, who was sitting next to me, served me a cheesecake, and when I took a bite, the sweet taste spread in my mouth.
It's this familiar sweetness that irritates me.
"It's quite delicious..."
"Good. I need to eat a lot to cheer up the new school year."
(In that case, cut out Shiranami! If you do that, our chances of moving up to A class will increase.)
I replied to Kobashi's murmur. As Himeno, she believes that if Ichinose cuts Shiranami out and expels her, there is a greater chance of her being promoted to class A.
There are two reasons.
Ichinose is losing because she prioritizes her friends over winning, but I don't think there is that much difference between her and the three demons in terms of simple potential.
Another reason is the quality of the soldiers.
Ichinose's class won the sports festival among first-year students, and even though they lost, they came close to A class in the paper shuffle exam, so it is clear that the quality of the soldiers is high.
If Ichinose changes her policy to cut down the weak and mobilizes high-quality soldiers, she will be able to win the special exam.
I became a spy because I didn't think Ichinose would change her mind.
While Himeno was thinking like this, a beep sounded and Ichinose took out her cell phone, but her eyes widened and her lips trembled.
"What's wrong, Honami-chan?"
When Shiranami senses that something is wrong with Ichinose and talks to her...
"It's from President Nagumo... Hikigaya-kun has joined the student council. It looks like he's aiming to become student council president..."
"Oh! ”
Hearing this, Shiranami and the other five members widened their eyes, and Himeno narrowed her eyes.
Ichinose and her friends, who like to get along well, would be horrified that a man who is said to be the most intelligent of the first-year students is aiming to become the student council president.
(I need to be careful because some students may drop out of our class in the second year. Let's do our best so that Ichinose doesn't find out when I abandon my classmates.)
Seeing the gloomy faces of Ichinose and the others who were licking their wounds, Himeno felt refreshed and tried to find a way to betray the class without causing a stir.
In the end, the party ended with a bad aftertaste due to the news of Hachiman joining the student council.
"Ugh...I'm really sleepy..."
I walk through the school building yawning. It was already spring break, and although there were students working hard on club activities in the schoolyard, there was almost no sign of anyone in the school building.
Aside from that, I'm seriously sleepy. It's only natural that I slept for less than 4 hours for 2 days.
After finishing my errands, I'll go home and sleep.

"So? I have a pretty good guess, but what's the story?"
“Then, let me get straight to the point: I have been asked to join the student council.”

"Well, that's true. In addition, I want to make connections in all classes for the first year, so I just thought about building a new strategy."

"Don't worry. Ichinose will probably give up on being the student council president in six months."
All I have to do is expel students from Ichinose's class within six months and ask her to give up her position as student council president.
If you do that, they will gladly give it to you.
If she doesn't give in, I'll have to eat up Ichinose's class along with Arisu and Ryuen until he does.
"I guess so. I thought you would definitely say that."
Nagumo, who has a screw loose in his head, seems to understand what I'm thinking in the same way.
“There was no one other than Honami for a year, so it was a relief.”

I want to have more allies in the student council in case Ichinose doesn't give up the position of student council president because my method is dangerous.
Well, things related to the student council will only start in April. I have other things to do now.
To be more specific, there will be training at the training gym in Keyaki Mall after this.
An hour and a half later...
"Sorry, I made you wait."
While I was waiting in a private room inside the training gym, the door opened and Ayanokoji entered.
A private room is literally a training room that can be used by individuals, and it's reasonably spacious and has training equipment, and there are no surveillance cameras, so it's the perfect place for secret training.
The most expensive option is 5,000 points per hour, which is quite high.

As if to respond, I also took a stance and launched an assault on Ayanokoji.
I definitely intend to use it as my own sustenance.
All for the sake of remaining strong.
__________
“So that’s all for today?”
"Oh, oh...I'll ask you next time."
In the private room, I replied to Ayanokoji as usual, even though I am dying.
After entering the private room, I fought him for over an hour, but lost completely.
As he declared, Ayanokoji will repeatedly attack me with a more sophisticated style than mine, and I'm sure I'll barely be able to outdo it and end up in poverty.
What's more, Ayanokoji adjusted the power of his attacks so that I wouldn't be seriously injured.
It's really a monster that he doesn't show any fatigue on top of that.
"Yeah. If I leave the gym with you, I might get in trouble, so I'll go first."
After saying that, Ayanokoji leaves.
Well, he has been attracting attention lately. Even though I had made contact with Ayanokoji at the closing ceremony yesterday, there was a high chance that he would be considered unfaithful if we left the gym together.
In any case, it was a meaningful time for me. His slow attack was my ideal type.
I can record it with a camera and review it many times to instill the ideal movements into my body.
When I gains more skill, he will probably become a little more serious, so we will study his movements again at that time.
(...No, I have to build a body before that)
Techniques are important in order to be able to unleash strong attacks, but you also need to create an ideal body.
In the past, I was just as good as I was, and now I'm pretty confident physically, but I'm nowhere near this robot.
Having made that decision, I extended my private room, sat on a bench, and drank a sports drink.
After a certain amount of rest, I will head to the training equipment and use all my physical strength for training except for returning to the dormitory.
Ideally, I would have a slender but strong body like Ayanokoji.
It will be impossible for me to become equal to him, who has been improving himself in the White Room since he was born, while I am still in school, I still want to close the distance as much as possible.
After that, I drank a sports drink and concentrated on training until I was at my limit.
2 hours later...
"……I'm home"
"Welcome home, Hachiman-kun. I just made some tea and have some hot water left over. Would you like something to drink?"
"Then let's have some cocoa."
When I returned to my room, I was exhausted, Hiyori greeted me with a smile.
I feel like I've recovered about 20% of my physical strength just by doing that.
I sit on the bed while being comforted by Hiyori, and she places the cocoa and sweets on the table before sitting down next to me.
"From what I see, you're tired, are you okay?"
"I'm not okay at all, so I want Hiyori to heal me."
While saying this, I pushed Hiyori down and took off her jacket and skirt, revealing her pink underwear, and then hugged her.
I'm tired so I want to feel Hiyori's warmth and work on recovering my strength.
"You're so horny, Hachiman-kun. We were so close to each other yesterday, but you couldn't do anything to us, right?"
Hiyori smiles bitterly, thinking that it can't be helped, but yesterday's incident was almost a reverse rape.
When the three of them found out about the lucky lewd thing I had done to Matsushita, they turned off the highlights, chained my arms and legs to the bed, straddled me and continued to shake their hips until morning, which had quite an impact.
...Well, it wasn't that bad after all.
A strange door opened.
In any case, in addition to being tired, I had no intention of holding back after seeing Hiyori's lustrous appearance, so I hugged her and kissed her while wrapping my arms around her hips.
"Hmm... Hachiman-kun, you're sweating so much... Thuu."
"Because I spent a lot of time training. Also, Hiyori, would you like to start training from spring break?"
“Is that in preparation for the special exam that will be held next year?”
"Ah. I'm not saying you have to be in the top class, but it's better to be at the top of the bottom."
Although Hiyori has high academic ability, her athletic ability is low.
There are quite a few dregs with low academic ability and athletic ability, so it's the ones who have the ability.
However, from now on, if there is a special exam that emphasizes athletic ability and includes expulsion as a penalty, Hiyori will be in a very dangerous position.
To avoid this, I want her to have a certain level of athletic ability.
Well, in case of an emergency, I can just crush a student with athletic abilities close to Hiyori.
As long as Hiyori's expulsion can be avoided, I don't care what happens to a third person's life.
"I see...I understand. I would like to do some running starting tomorrow as well."
Hiyori makes a fist, but the gesture is adorable, so I pull her closer and put my arm around her waist.
"If you're worried, I'll give you strength. Let's do our best from now on."
"……yes"
Hiyori nods slightly. I don't know what special exams will be held next year, but I plan on getting through them with Hiyori and the others.
I will use any means necessary for that purpose.
“By the way, what about Arisu and Masumi?”
"Masumi-san is visiting the art club, and Arisu-san is going to Keyaki Mall.''
Without even bringing Masumi? Then she might be planning something bad.
Well, Arisu probably has her own thoughts on that, so let's not criticize her about that.
I've been thinking of something bad, and I'm planning on doing it during spring break.
With that thought in mind, I resumed hugging Hiyori.
Yuki Himeno was irritated. Originally, she wasn't often in a good mood, and she didn't get that irritated often, but now she was feeling irritated for the first time in a while.
"Wow, this cake is delicious, Honami-chan should try it too."
“This Mont Blanc is delicious too, try it.”
"Nyahaha...thank you."
The reason is that the scene in front of me was Ichinose eating cake with her five best friends.
However, perhaps because Ichinose hasn't recovered from the shock of her defeat in the special exam, she is more timid than usual.
(Hey, what's the point in licking each other's wounds like this? I'd rather improve myself than lose and lick each other like this.)
Himeno murmured while clicking her tongue inwardly.
She can't help but play with others, but she gets tired of playing with her class because it takes so long each time.
Himeno herself had no intention of licking each other's wounds with Ichinose and the others, nor did she have any intention of watching them.
Originally, Himeno was wandering around for a change of pace, but she ran into Ichinose and six others near Keyaki Mall.
They are the members of C class who don't hate Shiranami, and they were invited to join the party.
I declined, complaining in a roundabout way about the class vote, saying I didn't have any points, but I was told they would buy it.
When she asked where she had earned the points, she was told back that she had secured thousands of points by arranging for girls in other classes to use their own useful personal items.
Himeno was also taken aback by this.
She thought to herself that if they were going to go that far, they should have just thrown out someone in the class vote from the beginning.
Himeno was sure that she wouldn't be expelled because she was a little above average in sports, studying, and class, and had never clearly held them back.
Of course, I was dissatisfied with Ichinose's relief campaign, but I didn't want to complain and become the target of criticism, so I reluctantly offered my points instead of objecting.
From Himeno's point of view, she would rather cut off one of her classmates from the beginning than sell her personal belongings to other people to gain points.
But that's not what I dislike most.
On the day of the class vote, when Himeno heard that Hachiman and Arisu should have discarded Shiranami, she was convinced, but Ichinose does not approve of that opinion and she has no intention of changing her mind.
When she made that decision, I thought, "What an idiot!"
It's good to lose. Because everyone loses sometimes.
It's okay to have wrong ideas.
Because people are creatures that grow by making mistakes.
But I can't forgive her for not trying to change her wrong thinking.
Ichinose's idea would be a fine idea in a normal school, but in this school with a meritocratic policy, it is a wrong idea, but she has no intention of changing and will stick to the policy of helping the weak.
And it is clear that as long as you continue to follow that policy, your class will continue to deteriorate.
There are demons in the same grade, such as Arisu, Hachiman, and Ryuen, who have no sense of ethics at all, but they will happily make fun of their class.
From Himeno's point of view, she didn't want to be seen as an idiot and live with zero points, so she accepted an invitation from Hachiman to become a spy and sold all the information about the end-of-year exam, and when she went to a karaoke house with a group two days before the exam.
I slipped a laxative into their drink under the cover of my sluggishness.
However, Himeno has no regrets.
There is no benefit to riding the mud boat called Ichinose like this.
To be honest, I was completely displeased with participating in the above-mentioned fatigue party.
Currently, there are around 20 students in Class C (although they will almost definitely fall into Class D next month) who are dissatisfied with Ichinose.
The only people who are not dissatisfied are Ichinose's best friend and the weaker student in her class.
Although Himeno is the one who is dissatisfied, she reluctantly agrees to participate because it is clear that it will cause trouble if she politely refuses.
(However, if I am considered to be Ichinose's best friend, my classmates won't suspect me of being a spy, so it's not a bad cover.)
"How about you, Yuki-chan? The shortcake is delicious."
"...Then I'll take it."
While I was thinking about that, Yume Kobashi, who was sitting next to me, served me a cheesecake, and when I took a bite, the sweet taste spread in my mouth.
It's this familiar sweetness that irritates me.
"It's quite delicious..."
"Good. I need to eat a lot to cheer up the new school year."
(In that case, cut out Shiranami! If you do that, our chances of moving up to A class will increase.)
I replied to Kobashi's murmur. As Himeno, she believes that if Ichinose cuts Shiranami out and expels her, there is a greater chance of her being promoted to class A.
There are two reasons.
Ichinose is losing because she prioritizes her friends over winning, but I don't think there is that much difference between her and the three demons in terms of simple potential.
Another reason is the quality of the soldiers.
Ichinose's class won the sports festival among first-year students, and even though they lost, they came close to A class in the paper shuffle exam, so it is clear that the quality of the soldiers is high.
If Ichinose changes her policy to cut down the weak and mobilizes high-quality soldiers, she will be able to win the special exam.
I became a spy because I didn't think Ichinose would change her mind.
While Himeno was thinking like this, a beep sounded and Ichinose took out her cell phone, but her eyes widened and her lips trembled.
"What's wrong, Honami-chan?"
When Shiranami senses that something is wrong with Ichinose and talks to her...
"It's from President Nagumo... Hikigaya-kun has joined the student council. It looks like he's aiming to become student council president..."
"Oh! ”
Hearing this, Shiranami and the other five members widened their eyes, and Himeno narrowed her eyes.
Ichinose and her friends, who like to get along well, would be horrified that a man who is said to be the most intelligent of the first-year students is aiming to become the student council president.
(I need to be careful because some students may drop out of our class in the second year. Let's do our best so that Ichinose doesn't find out when I abandon my classmates.)
Seeing the gloomy faces of Ichinose and the others who were licking their wounds, Himeno felt refreshed and tried to find a way to betray the class without causing a stir.
In the end, the party ended with a bad aftertaste due to the news of Hachiman joining the student council.
