Then, when 2nd-year teachers announced the exam rules, freshman also came into contact with exam for the first time. 'Because I have never experienced this before, taking it very seriously.....'
But there was one student who seemed particularly different.
He is a first grader, but feels like he is in kindergarten instead of high school.
He felt it whether it was teacher's poor skills or his classmates who took this simple course so seriously or even didn't understand it.
Out of place.
As someone who had been brought up in White room, he was puzzled by the low level of education in the outside world.
Even feels like a waste of time. Being in a place like this really kills his mood.
Having received an elite education since childhood, he knows what happens to those who fail.
He also always worked hard and supported others, but no matter how well he did, the instructors just looked at him indifferently.
Because there is only one person who meets all standards of criticism.
'Damn you, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka!'
Fourth Generation test subject, but he was the only one who passed.
From then on, success of all the children was measured by Ayanokoji"s records.
One day, an instructor who liked him told him that he could take him to see Ayanokoji from a distance.
'After seeing him just for a couple of minutes, I immediately felt unfairness of the world, experienced a sense of inferiority....'

Present
'This Ayanokoji actually stayed in a place like this...Kindergarten. Staying here would only turn people into garbage.....! Perhaps, after having been in this state for a year, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka has become inferior? In other words, he can be defeated!'
'No, he has become the strongest in Demonic 4th Generation, but now I can really defeat Ayanokoji Kiyotaka. I know I will!' Even though he had such thoughts, he never showed it.
"Then let me explain the rules of this exam here—"
The teacher on podium has also finished announcing the rules.

It was lunch break time. Hachiman was going to Student council, so he put on Vice-president's armband that Sakayanagi had asked him to wear.
"Ding Di——"
His mobile phone received a forwarded text message.
[Students who are confused about the joint written test for 1st-year and 2nd-year students can gather in gymnasium in afternoon to discuss.]
by Ichinose Honami.
Just one glance and Hachiman understood. Ichinose wanted to conduct this exam in a peaceful manner.
For second-year students, this exam was very difficult, as most of the students in Hachiman's class were poor students.
So they just wanted to pass the exam, didn't care about getting a high score.
But Ichinose's class is different.
The difference in number of top students between her and Sakayanagi's Class A is relatively small.
They are of a type with relatively close strength.
She haven't given up on Class A, so naturally, want to work hard on this exam with a difference of 200 points.
However, since examination rules for this time have been announced, 1st-year students will know truth about this school in advance.
Then if you examine the questions carefully, you will find it is not favorable for 2nd graders, but is very lenient for newcomers.
Therefore, first-year students might seize the opportunity to manipulate.
Then you may need to pay points, just like Koenji, if you want the cooperation of first-year students, you have to pay 100,000 or 200,000 per person.
But there are ways to do it without spending any money. One of them is hers.
Treat first-year students with friendliness and gentleness, because although the advantage lies, there is no guarantee that all first-year students are profit-driven.
So you can impress them with gentleness. This is what only Ichinose can do.
Conquer the enemy without fighting.

"Hirata, did Ichinose send you a message alone?" Hachiman walked towards Hirata.
"Eh? Ichinose-san? No....What's the matter?"
"Nothing...." Hachiman returned back to his seat.
He noticed that Suzune, who was sitting next to him, was drilling a hole into his forehead.
In this new semester, teacher allowed students to exchange seats. Some did so, but on his side, Suzune remained the same.
Hikigaya-kun is not the kind of person who gets bored easily. 'So, I don't mind fact that Horikita is still my deskmate.....'
But, Hachiman asked, looking at the outstanding-looking girl beside him, "So what do you think about Ichinose? Answer me, it's been a year. Let me judge your growth....."
'Actually, I feel a little guilty. Because I didn't complete Horikita-senpai's mission....I will probably leave this class soon, so Horikita will have to stay here in the future. Does she have any ability to protect herself? I need to check it out.....'
"Uh...ah....I mean, I mean..I..uh..." Suzune was fidgeting violently on her desk, and couldn't make out any comprehensible words.
Hachiman stared at her.
"…." Suzune pursed her lips, realised boy was serious about knowing the answer to his question, so even though she was uncomfortable, "I saw Ichinose-san once during holidays, and I am pretty sure she is growing everyday....but if I had to compare, my p-previous bra don't fit me anym-----"
"....."
"• ? •" Hachiman stared at her with multiple questions marks on his face, and seemed to be at complete loss.
".....What? D-Don't tell me, you want to chec----"
Beep!
"....." Suzune received a text message on her mobile phone, she hurriedly lowered her gaze as to avoid further embarrassment.
[ I think H-Hikigaya-kun was talking about exchange meeting organised by Ichinose-san.....hehe~] by Sakura Airi.
"• ! ×" Suzune wanted to find a hole to crawl her face into.
"....." Hachiman who doesn't know what to say in response.
They stopped talking.
xxxxxxx
Several minutes later.
"....I think Ichinose-san is being a Virgin Mary again. After all, first-year students have just arrived at this school. Even if they know exam rules, may not take seriously....So, instead of exploiting, she is helping others to treat exams in the right way. I don't know if she is a fool, but at same time, her class's academic ability is not bad, so it doesn't matter how we pair them with students with low scores.....It's just extending a helping hand to the first graders. And those who would attend such exchange meetings should not only be poor students, but also students with good academic ability.....Since school's details have been announced in advance, they will most likely provide some experience for the new students....So, she can probably attract a lot of people with both kinds, make connections for upcoming exams...."
"Um--" Suzune's analysis is okay, but Hachiman needs to take her more seriously.
'....I don't mind Ichinose's saintly actions. Most of her actions are probably to win people's hearts. Of course, I also have saintly ideas.'
The only thing that Hachiman cared about was Ichinose's exchange meeting.
'Does it mean that many exams for senior grades were not allowed to be disclosed to junior grades in past, but are now completely open? There is no doubt that it was Tsukishiro who spoke, and has completely messed up the school. The score for this exam is only 200 points, but next exam may be more. The reason I say because lowest score reward for this exam is 0 points, so there will be no deductions. So, maybe just an appetizer. Then, next exam might be worth looking forward to.....'
"Then, if it were you, what would you think of Ichinose-san's exchange meeting?" After Suzune finished answering, she looked at Hachiman again, but you can keenly notice her cheeks were pink.
She was brought here by him last year, so she wanted to see his understanding.
After all, her brother is no longer in school, and he is the only person she can rely on now.
"What about me? Well, exchange meeting can be held in a grand manner....But I guess it's not about popularizing data to first-year students, but about collecting information from them...After verifying the information,...sell it to students in Class D, because their grades are also very bad, and need the information of these freshmen the most. Of course, you can also sell it to Class A and C, because these two are still in target Class A, so I can attract their bidding....Of course, the most direct way would be to use exchange meeting as an excuse to trick the first-year students into signing an agreement which states they will be paired up with 2nd-year students for exams according to our arrangements. Since they are still freshmen, not on guard enough, so it is possible we will succeed. This can make a lot of money."
"....." Suzune was speechless, "As expected of you....."
But Hachiman shook his head, knowing this method alone is not enough.
Tsukishiro broke the rules, so he wanted to go to Ryuen's class and get points.
One is that people are very well-behaved. Another is that special exams of this school are basically different, but there are also a few fixed similarities.
One of them is a behavioral norms test for freshmen in first month of admission, and other is a test on old questions in second month.
Also, when going to Deserted island, although test questions may be different, Hachiman feels that exam on the ship should be tests where school may give students some points by going easy on them.
When new students enter the school and take exam on the island, even if there is no preferential examination, will be other exams that require money.
From this perspective, he can snatch legitimate points that first-year students receive from school.
If Tsukishiro does not follow the old plan, then his plan to rob will fail.
'Therefore, I have to find Tsukishiro again and ask him to give first-year students a test similar to preferential treatment test as usual.....'
"....So, uh...we are not talking about earlier...you know regarding your br---"
"Hikigaya-kun, I will make you one of my family's special dishes in my restaurant after leaving this school, if you promise not to talk about this incident ever again."
"....Yes, of course! We have a deal, Horiki-----"
"Ding ding!"
Hachiman received a message. It wasn't one Ichinose sent just now.
It was sent by Ryuen.
[The information of First grade Class D is being sorted out, but there is a bastard in it, pay attention.]
After Ryuen sent this message, he added a note..A screenshot of the OA system was sent over.
He is a tall and sloppy man with yellow hair.
[This guy and I are from the same place. I have heard of him before. Although we have never fought, I know he is a tough nut to crack.]
[I think his goal is to take control of entire D Class.] Hachiman stared at the other party's name written by Ryuen.
Hosen Kazuomi.
Both name and photo matched.
It was head of first-year class D that Hachiman met at opening ceremony yesterday, and he looked very similar to Ryuen.
In other words, there is no mistake.
Someone has already taken over 1st-year class D and made it into like Ryuen's.
The power of one person is small, but is worth seeing.
If they want to gain benefits from the first-year students through various withdrawal exams Tsukishiro conducts against Ayanokoji, they will have to control an undercover class.
This opportunity showed up. Hachiman was puzzled when looking at the photo of Hosen on his phone.
Because how do you get in touch with this person?
"Why would a first-year come to second-year's build----?"
"Hey...watch it, you bumped into me!"
While Hachiman was still talking to Suzune, he noticed some commotion in corridor near the entrance.
"Second year, Class B, Ike Kanji? I heard you guys climbed up from Class D, but you're not that great....You are the same as what is written in the OA system, what a garbage!"
A very arrogant voice was heard, and when he looked towards this arrogant person, found two unfamiliar faces.
The arrogant boy standing at the door now is named Hosen Kazuomi.
Tall stature, who don't pay much attention to dressing. He unbuttoned all the buttons of his coat and undid his collar.
The neck that was not washed very clean was exposed.
The way he walks is a bit arrogant.

Hachiman was looking at a bull, and behind it there was a blonde girl, who is quite beautiful.
She has blond hair and a great figure.
Face looks comfortable. She is a beauty. But soon, following Hosen, girl also opened her mouth, "Dear 2nd-year seniors."
"I'm Nanase from the first year class D, and he is my classmate-----"
She paused her sentence, and even closed her mouth, because that guy with a loose collar introduced himself, "Hosen."
Since they had announced their names, students who had just obtained OAA system immediately began searching for information about the two freshmen.
Both of them were indeed first-year students in Class D, just as they had claimed.
Ike, who had just been hit, spoke immediately to save his face, "You are freshmen, what are you doing here in sophomores? This is 2nd grade teaching building?"
