Classroom of the Elite Volume 11

PROLOGUE

The Monologue of Arisu Sakayanagi

I can still remember the view I saw across the glass screen on that day as if it
was only yesterday.
The exterior of the facility, located deep within the mountains, I saw when
my father took me with him was dyed pure white. No, it wasn’t only the
exterior.
The corridors, the small rooms we went through was all painted in one single
white colour as far as I remember.
I brought both my hands on the transparent glass doing my very best to see
what lied beyond. On the other side, this screen seems to be some sort of
magic mirror so they couldn’t see us.
«What is it, Arisu? It’s rare to see you this interested?»
«This is an experiment to artificially create a genius. There’s no way I
wouldn’t find it interesting.»
«...That’s not a very childlike way of speaking, as usual.»
My father said while showing a perplexed smile as he picked me up in his
arms.
According to my father, anyone who went through the curriculum of this
facility would, without exceptions, be educated to become someone
exceptional. There’s no way I wouldn’t find any misgivings regarding that
point.

«It’s just, this experiment seems to have a lot of troublesome elements to it.»
«Which means?»
«It seems to be attacked from all sides regarding the humanity of it.»
«Ha, haha...»
«That being said, even I don’t think I could artificially a genius or anything.»

The moment people are born into this world, the moment they receive life,
their potential is set in stone. The fruits of chance. Then, it will sometimes
manifest in various fields. That’s the contrivance of the human world.
They can’t do more than what is carved into their DNA. They awaken by the
blood passed on from ancestors or by a sudden mutation. In other words, if
you want to create a genius, you have to do it from the DNA stage.
The ones born as an ordinary person will never escape the realms of an
ordinary person. No matter how blessed their environment is, if the student
isn’t excellent from the start of, they won’t become a genius. That has been
my belief since I was young.
That was the conclusion from seeing my fellow classmates being given top
quality education since infancy. That’s why this experiment ran counters to
my own way of thinking. That being said... It isn’t that straightforward that
DNA alone could solve it either.
«Even if there is anyone graduating this facility as the cream of the crop, will
that truly be a fruit from this experiment?»
«What makes you think so?»
«The children at the top just have the superior DNA, is what I think.»
«I see. The curriculum these children are partaking is quite intense indeed.
There is a chance the remaining victors were all excellent from the very
beginning of as you said. You really are just as wise as her. Your personality
included.»

«That makes me happy. Being compared to my mother is the highest words
of praise to me.»
I obediently and honestly took to heart what my father told me and yet again
watched the children subjects. The children with talent, the children without,
everyone was equally partaking in this education. And then at the system,
where the people dropping off, disappeared turn by turn.
«In the end, even if there are children staying until the end, they are just
blessed by their parents’ talents.»
Even if I find it interesting, it was an experiment without meaning. I couldn’t
help but feel that way.
«Who knows, it may be so, it may not be so. I also don’t know. But I can’t
throw away the possibility that these children are destined to carry our
future.»

Page 2 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

I didn’t understand what my father’s acquaintance was trying to accomplish,
me being the child I was. My sight returned back to what was reflected
beyond the glass.
«—That child, seems to have solved those tasks calmly and without any
difficulties for a while now.»
As for clearing the tasks given to them itself, all the children reflected in our
eyes had cleared the them. However, everyone had done it desperately and
with all their concentration. That should have been obvious. Whether
studying or sports, the level of the competition here was far beyond normal
children’s. Among them was a single existence exhibiting an abnormality.
A certain boy was overwhelmingly defeating his opponent in succession at
chess, which was what they were doing now. Among the children I could see
beyond the glass, he was the only existence snatching away my gaze and
heart. Seeing this my father looked somewhat happy, somewhat sad as he
nodded.
«Yes, he is Sensei’s son. His name should be... Ayanokouji... Kiyotaka if I
remember right.»
Sensei is my father’s acquaintance, and the person who is running this
facility. He was a person never yielding to anyone and I remember my father
always showed a modest attitude towards him.

«He’s Sensei’s child so his DNA must be excellent, right?»
«Who knows. At least, Sensei has never graduated from a top university or
possessed outstanding athleticism. His wife is also an ordinary woman. Their
parents never showed signs of any talents either. But, Sensei has stronger
ambitions than anyone and a never-yielding and indomitable fighting spirit,
that’s it. That’s why he has become so great. To the extent that he also, at one
time, could move the country.
«In that case— won’t that child be the perfect specimen for this
experiment?»
My father nodded with conflicting feelings at my question.
«Well... he would probably regard that child as perfect for it I think. But... as
I see it, I can’t help but feel sorry for him.»
«Why is that?».
«From the very moment he was born, he has lived within these facilities. For

Page 3 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

him, the first thing he saw wasn’t his mother nor his father, but the white
ceiling of these buildings. If he was to drop off earlier, he could probably live
with his father. Or no, the fact that he continues to stay here, results in him
getting his father’s favour perhaps. If that’s so, that is very...»
Simply put, he hasn’t received any love from his parents. How lonely and
desolate such a life must be. Even though there were a lot to gain and learn
from touching another human, leaving his talents aside. I strongly hugged my
beloved father, which made him hug me back.
«The final goal for this facility is for every educated child to become
geniuses. But it’s still in the test phase. It will continue to struggle for another
50 or 100 years. It’s not to make the children gathered gathered here to
exhibit talent when they become adults themselves, but for the future
children’s sake. Both those surviving and those dropping off are nothing
more than a batch of samples.»
A life of confinement within these buildings and their data extracted was the
life waiting for them, father said.
The face of my father as he said those words looked like he was in pain.
«Do you not like this place, father?»

«Hmm? ... Who can say? ... I honestly can’t cheer it on perhaps. If, the
children here really become superior to everyone else, if this facility becomes
the natural thing, then this must just be the misfortunate beginning, is what I
think.»
«Rest assured. I will personally smash it for you to see. I will prove that
talent is not decided by education, but from the moment people are born.»
I cannot lose to the children raised at this facility no matter what and no
matter how many. I, who has inherited the superior DNA, has to stop it.
«Yes, I’m expecting lots of you, Arisu.»
«By the way father. I think I want to start playing chess—»
I opened my eyes and sat up still half-asleep.
«What a nostalgic dream...»
It was perhaps due to the approaching confrontation. To think I was
remembering that day. But from the moment I met you until now, I’ve never
forgotten it. I was convinced that a day would come when I would meet you
again face-to-face.

CHAPTER 1

The Teachers' Battle

One day in February, before the start of the official voting exam.
During this time, KOUDO IKUSEI high school teachers continued to be busy
with their work.

They prepared for increases, expenses and graduations.
In addition, there are also the perpetrators for the final special exams that all
classes will be taking.
Moments of various factors are complex interrelated.
Every teacher has no free time, every day they are busy with work ...
However, the hearts of the teachers who are responsible for class one this
year are more complex than others.
"The above is the final special exam content for first grade students, as well
as notifications about the introduction of the new system."
A man completes an explanation of this year's special exams to all teachers.
The explanation is the same for year 2 and 3, but only year 1 is different.
"If there are teachers who have any questions, please ask."
In a tense atmosphere, he looked around the teachers who listened to his
speech.
There was silence for a few seconds.
"May I ask a few questions, Director Tsukishiro."
The atmosphere of the staff room was still filled with silence.
Mashima who is responsible for year 1 Class A, raises his hand and breaks
the silence.
Both Chabashira and Hoshinomiya who were in charge of the year 1 classes
also seemed to agree, they set their sights on Mashima.

Page 5 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

The man, who was the temporary Director, Tsukishiro, had long noticed that
the teachers in charge of first years had many questions. It's better to say that
he thinks if they don't have questions, it will be too bad.
This is related to his evaluation as a person.
Are they just members of the community, or are they just adults, or just a
teacher who works only to get paid?
"Is there something wrong Class A teacher, Mashima-sensei?"

Tsukishiro, who predicted the question, smiled softly.
"Compared to special exams for year 2 and year 3 students, the benchmarks
for first grade students are much higher than the average compared to
previous years. For example, voting in class ... This exam carries a high risk
of dropping out."
As a teacher in charge of Year 1 students, and considering the future of the
students, Mashima is not afraid of the temporary director Tsukishiro to
represent them and protest.
"I'm sorry for being rude, but the interim Director Tsukishiro was not here
long before I came to this school. Although I think this is an assessment you
made with reference to previous experiences, but because there were no
dropouts in year 1, you took steps - coercive steps, to make it happen. I think
it's a mistake. "
Getting a question from Mashima ...... Tsukishiro smiled as he was criticized
and showed his white teeth.
"Does it contain a lot of risk of dropping out of school? Are students worried
about dropping out of school? Is the current situation the same as special
exams so far? In the rules of this school if someone fails the exam, they will
be expelled from school. Isn't this a difficult rule for high school students
here? "
"I mean it has nothing to do. It's true, students who don't get a certain grade
will be excluded. I don't want to say that rules like this are very difficult for
students. Besides that there have been many withdrawals of students in
previous years. That is a fact."
Every year, this school has conducted several special examinations in a
standard range.
In the exam, year 1 students have tried to overcome a full year without
dropping out. Although it is not clear whether this is due to the difference in

Page 6 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

their strengths from other years, there must be a reason.
In addition, Mashima believes that it is important to use this aspect and
continue it for the following years.
But Tsukishiro's idea was different.
"Because there are many who dropped out of school in the past, isn't this the
same?"
"No. Obviously, this is different from our policy so far. I disagree with your
design of an exam that enforces a forced withdrawal."
While the other teachers were silent, only Mashima kept trying.

"Then, in the last special exam held at the end of the school year, you decided
to introduce a new system. This is something that has never been done so far,
and the reason is not explained at all."
However, Mashima's resistance was futile.
It is impossible to change this decision.
"Apparently, Mashima sensei is still a little doubtful. Do you consider the
practice carried out so far to be incorrect. Is everything wrong?"
In the staff room, Tsukishiro and Mashima repeatedly attacked one another.
However, Mashima's inferior position was clear. People like Tsukishiro are
not opponents who they can make irresponsible statements to.
"The absorption capacity of young children is greater than that of adults.
With this in mind, I have ruled out students in year 2 and 3 and restricted new
examinations to year 1 students. After all, they are year 1 students who have
not been so influenced by this school. If this new effort is successful, the test
for first year students in the next generations will be easier."
"There managed to be no drop outs for year 1 students this year. Don't you
want to end it in this situation?"
"There is no point in maintaining this kind of thing. We must think of the
future, and we must be oriented to the future."
Tsukishiro's counterattack continues.
"This school has received a lot of expectations from the government. This is a
new school for some experimental tests. Its history is still very shallow. For
this reason, I think it is more important to try a variety of things."
"Of course it's important to think about the future. However, you also have to
think that you are using the current year 1 students as guinea pigs. As the
teacher in charge of their class, this is something I cannot agree with."

Page 7 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

Mashima continued to challenge Tsukishiro, attempting to improve the
guidelines of this special exam.
However, it was the class vote exam was already set in stone.
That's why Chabashira-sensei stopped him from continuing any further.

"... Mashima-Sensei, that's enough."
Mashima held back his words.
However, once again, Tsukishiro urged him to speak.
"No problem. If there is something you want to say, I hope you will speak
your mind, I will listen. In fact, I understand what is making the teachers
worry."
"So does that mean it's possible to reconsider?"
Mashima asked Tsukishiro.
Although he spoke as if he were giving him a chance, that's not what he
meant.
In contrast to Director Sakayanagi, the interim Director Tsukishiro did not
have any intention to listen to any other opinions.
"Reconsider? I think that will be difficult. Although I am a substitute, I am
still the Director. As the Director, my responsibility is to set guidelines and
guide the school, nothing more than that. After all, I was merely hired by a
legal entity owned by the government. "
With this statement, Mashima's resistance was meaningless.
The opinions of people in schools are secondary, and the only thing that
matters is the future of this high school education institution.
"In the end, it shouldn’t matter if there are withdrawals for students because
of strict rules, right?"
"Inappropriate people must be excluded. This is the structure of society - No,
this is a natural law. And, besides that, is there an agreement for the
introduction of 'protection points'? This is all I can approve of."
The tense atmosphere began to slowly subside.
The slow morning meeting is nearing its end.
"Furthermore Sakayanagi, the current Director, was detained for suspicion of
committing an offense. If this is the case, then I cannot inherit educational
policies from such a person. Of course, I hope he can eliminate any suspicion

Page 8 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

as soon as possible and return to his original position."

With a loud clap, Tsukishiro looked around to all the teachers present.
"The time is almost up. That’s the end of that problem. Oh, yes. I'm exploring
the possibility of holding a cultural festival in the next school year? I think I
also want to ask for advice from the teachers, so please don't hesitate."
"Cultural festival? In principle, shouldn’t the school adopt a reserved attitude
towards openness to the outside world?"
For the first time, year 2 and 3 teachers asked a question.
"Such outdated parts are also a problem. To become a school that is better
known by the state, I think it is necessary to change the rules no matter
whenever needed. Of course, it is necessary to select strictly those who are
invited, so it will be nothing to worry about, this is not open to ordinary
people, after all. I will only choose among people in the political community
who know of this school. If we do this, they will not divulge additional
information to the outside world."
The caretaker director Tsukishiro ended his speech and the teacher battle
ended.
There was nothing that could be done.

Page 9 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

Part 1

After Tsukishiro left the staff room before the start of class.
"Mashima-sensei and Hoshinomiya-sensei, could you make some time?"
Chabashira called out to the two. Every time, they compete and grow
together in this school, both as rivals and friends.
Both of them did not specifically ask Chabashira's reasons, but with the
required documents, they went with her and came to the corridor that was
connected to their classrooms. They understand each other because they have
been friends for a long time.
The first to speak was Hoshinomiya.
"I am very depressed ... I will be forced to tell the students about an exam that
guarantees a drop out."
Taking a deep breath, she looked at the attendance book.
"... Who will have to disappear."
Even though it was inevitable, Hoshinomiya didn’t want to face it.
"It is not guaranteed someone will have to drop out. Even though the number
is very limited, there are still several methods."
"But to cancel a drop out, 20 million personal points are required?"
Of course, Hoshinomiya also knew that fact.
Currently, no class has that many personal points.
"It may not be a bad idea to pay 300 class points to prevent this. After all, it
can't be helped if someone is forced out of school. Usually it's a small
problem."
To cancel student withdrawals from school, 20 million personal points must
be paid or 300 class points. This time the last method was removed.
But both the teachers and students cannot accept forced withdrawals.
"Oh, I can't help but have to complain about the way Tsukishiro acts on
behalf of the director."
"Right - it makes sense for Sae-chan to think so. He suddenly replaced the
director and did something selfish like that."
Hoshinomiya, approached Chabashira and embraced her, but was driven by
disappointment.
"Even if you complain, nothing will change. If you say something excessive,
you might get fired."

Page 10 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

"Is it your turn to tell me? Isn't Mashima-kun who was just trapped? He made
us very worried. I didn't say anything excessive on that occasion."
"As Chie said. He would not care about the dismissal of a teacher. After all,
there were numerous numbers of replacements, that was all very clear.
Saying that was what she intended."
"Maybe the goal is to fire a teacher like Mashima-kun, and replace it with a
teacher who is comfortable for himself."
Both of them thought that Tsukishiro's speech in the staff room was a
warning to a rebellious teacher.
Mashima did not deny this idea.
"Sae-chan too, it must be hard after going up to the long awaited Class C, so
don't force yourself, okay?"
"You're pretty calm about our class promotion."
"I hate to say it. But, is it possible for Sae-chan to be promoted to Class A?"
Looking at her peering eyes, Chabashira averted her eyes.
Although Hoshinomiya often spoke of issues that were generally trivial, most
of her actions were considerate to others.
Chabashira who had been close to her for a long time had a good
understanding of this.
"... No. I'm not stupid enough to do this."
"That's right. If you just say you want to target Class A ... I'll change my
face."
Hoshinomiya raised her hand and made a shocking expression.
It may seem like a dialogue that has no special meaning between women, but
Mashima doesn't see their calm in it.
They are like carnivores facing each other on the savanna.
"The two of you, are still competing for that. How many years have passed
—"
"Mashima-kun, this has nothing to do with time."
"Well, nothing to do with it."
Mashima who acted as the mediator, stunned by both and can only walk
without power.
Although Mashima dared to face Tsukishiro, sometimes he would meet an
opponent he could not face.
"... Is that the case? Anyway, even though this isn't something I can interrupt,
you can't bring personal feelings."

Page 11 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

"It's not like that, right? Chie?"
"Of course not, Sae-chan."
Although they are attempting to figure out each other's thoughts, on the
surface they pretend as if nothing is happening.
"In short, what I want to say is that we must refrain from acting recklessly."
Chabashira hurriedly ended the conversation and walked into Class C.
The two watched her leave.
"You really don't carry personal emotions, right?"
Mashima asked while looking at the back of Chabashira who seemed to be in
a bad mood.
"Don't compare me to her. Oh, I really don't have any attachments. Besides, I
don't have nostalgia here. But since then, she hasn't changed, always acting
like a student. That's why her precious love continues to be in her heart."
"... You have a terrible expression."
"Oh? No, I hate showing a face like that."
Hoshinomiya pulled out a folding mirror and smiled to the mirror.
"Okay, I'm also very cute today. You think so too, right?"
"I do not know."
"That's too much. Well, it's worth it."
After Hoshinomiya put back the mirror, Mashima gave him a suggestion.
"You have to be careful. Don't be fooled. Class D this year, no, more
precisely Class C now ... is very different from previous years."

Although there are still gaps in class points, even the teachers are unable to
predict the direction of special exams in the future.
"I suppose so, but it doesn't matter, I have Ichinose-san. Then—"
"Then ...?"
"If she really rises, I will destroy her directly."
"As a teacher, interfering in student competition is not a good thing to do, is
it?"
"I won't do that. However, I won't take Sae-chan lightly."
She also did not want to be said to be irresponsible because the teacher
fought each other - Hoshinomiya said so.
"Looks like you're serious."
"Besides, I don't want to lose to Sae-chan!"
This is the relationship between the two from since high school.

As good friends and rivals.

CHAPTER 2

Last Exam of the First Year

March 8.
Now in Class C, Chabashira-sensei as the homeroom teacher will announce
the final special exam for class one.
There are 39 sets of tables and chairs for Class C.
Not long ago, there was 40, but now one less.
This was because Haruki Yamauchi had dropped out.
Not only from Class C, Manabe from Class D and Yahiko from Class A as
well.

This change, has had a big impact on all the students in year 1.
The idea of 'must have rescue steps' that have been in their hearts has
completely vanished.
While they had not yet recovered from the shock and sadness caused by the
incident, the days continued to pass by.
Chabashira-sensei appeared after the bell that signaled the beginning of
class.
There is not any extra chat in the class.
"—Then, the final special exam for the first class will be announced."
Chabashira-sensei began her explanation of the last special exam.
Even though they already knew that they could no longer hear Yamauchi's
voice.
His friends Ike and Sudou tried to accept this reality.
"For today's final special exam, you will be asked to show us the
comprehensive results that you have learned so far, including academics,
physical abilities, teamwork, and maybe luck. In short, you need to play with
your various potentials."

Page 14 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

In general, Ike would usually immediately ask Chabashira-sensei blurt out a
question.
However, he silently listened.
He had a feeling that 'the next person to drop out of school might be him.'
"This special exam, is based on the comprehensive ability of each class to
compete in the 'event selection' special exam. It will be carried out according
to the rules to determine the type of confrontation between classes, similar to
the Paper Shuffle."
Special event selection exam, the final special exam theme for the year 1s.
What is it about?
"First of all, to make it easier for you to understand when I explain it, I will
use 10 white cards and 38 yellow cards that match the number of class
students who will follow."
With that said, Chabashira-sensei arranged a blank card and stuck it on the
blackboard.
Each card is approximately the same size as a playing card.

Although there is nothing written on the 10 white cards, on the other hand,
the yellow card seems to have the name of the student on each card.
There are a total of 48 cards installed on the board.
Compared to the number of students in the class, the yellow card should be
one less. Are there any reasons?
"First, let me explain the use of these 10 white cards. You must discuss with
each other first, then set 10 'events' according to your preferences, and write
the events on the cards."
After hearing this, Ike showed a confused face.
However, seeing him trying to hold back from interrupting, Chabashira-
sensei showed an amused expression.
"If you have any questions, don't hesitate."
"N-no, but ... Wouldn't Sae-chan-sensei be angry if I interrupted in the middle
of an explanation?"
Ike's worries were obvious.
"Without your extreme jokes, how can I be calm?"
So far, Chabashira-sensei only accepts questions at the end of the
explanation, but in some cases she still let someone ask in the middle.
Most of his classmates focused their attention on Ike.

Page 15 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

Even though he felt a little confused, he still said a few things where he felt
doubtful.
"Well, that ... Event? What does it mean?"
"Written exams, chess, playing cards, baseball, and choosing anything you
think will win according to your expertise. Then it's up to you to consider and
make rules of each event."
"Hmm, can we decide freely?"
Although they were free to decide, he and several other students did not seem
to understand.
"Although you can decide freely, there are some rules in determining events.
At the extreme point, if competition and games are not known by many
people, they will not be approved as events, so unless everyone knows, it can
only be proposed. As a result, the rules of the event must be fair and easy to
understand. For this purpose, after the event is proposed, the school will
assess whether the event is appropriate and decide whether it is allowed. "
Of course, if someone chooses a special sport or game such as a personal
hobby with certain rules, which are not known by most people. Then it would
be unfair for the competitors.
However ... Even though it's like that, the rules are for us to decide.
"In addition, to avoid a draw, it is necessary to adjust the event. For example,
in the Go rule, the same amount of land occupied by both parties is a draw.
But to avoid this situation. In the placement of land half of the additional
points, determined by white. Another example, in a Chess game, although it
is difficult to get a draw, but if there is a situation where Remis occurs, it will
result in a draw. Though this is very rare, the winner must be decided in this
situation, and then we can decide the winner according to the number of
chess pieces held. Please specify in advance detailed rules like this. In
selecting this event, if you do not decide the rules of winning and losing, then
the event cannot be used. "
(T / N: Remis is a situation where the king is not discrete, and cannot move at
all and the other pieces cannot move besides the king. If there are still other
pieces that can move, the mussels do not apply, because the player has
another step besides the king. )
But, accompanying the event with win and lose rules, is too little.
Although there are countless types of events to some extent, events that can
be chosen within the scope of all the students appear to be limited.

Page 16 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

"So, let me set an example and practice what I just said. Ike, what are you
good at? Anything is fine, don't hesitate."
"Hmm ... what can I do ..."
He didn't immediately answer the program he was good at, but he thought
about it first.
"In that case, I think I am quite good at Rock–paper–scissors."
Hearing it like a joke, his classmates laughed.
However, Chabashira-sensei took the answer seriously and wrote ‘Rock–
paper–scissors’ on the white card.
"In that case, let's assume that Rock–paper–scissors is the chosen event."
The class did not think that it would be taken seriously and Ike and his
friends immediately became confused.
"How do you want the rules?"
"Then ... Win in three sets of games to win?"
Chabashira-sensei followed Ike’s instruction and added the rules to the white
card.
"Most people already know about this event, and the rules are simple and
clear. As a result, the school would not mind using this event."
"That really can be adopted."
Although this event originated from spontaneous response, there were no
problems with the school.
"Next, do this 9 more times, and 10 events have been selected."
Chabashira-sensei took the chalk and wrote it on the blackboard.
"The exam schedule is also very important. This special exam is roughly
divided into three stages:"
Special Exams
March 8, the day of the announcement of the special exam. On the same day,
determine the class’ opponent.
March 15, determine 10 events. Announce 10 events and their respective
rules.
March 22, the 'election day' special exam day.
"B-but sensei. If there are more than 20 events, wouldn’t it be very time
consuming?"
"Each class must re-select 5 out of 10 events on the day of the 'event
selection' special exam and submit it after the 'wish'. In short, the battle
program will be reduced to 10, not 20."

Page 17 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

Hearing this, Horikita asked.
"That is, out of 10 shows, 5 of them are a hoax ... Does that mean that false
information is being transmitted to the opponent?"
"It can also a role like that. 10 events that have been determined will
automatically select 7 events randomly by the school mechanism that has
been prepared. The process is like this."
Chabashira-sensei explained what was on her mind.
Compared to the previous special exams, the time for this particular exam
takes seems to much longer.
The reason why in the end they chose 7 events, was because they had to
guarantee a winner and loser.
Because the number of events is odd so there will be no draw, the winner will
be determined by four wins of seven events.
"Even if a class wins before the completion of all 7 events, the game will
continue until the final event. However, this is related to changes in class
points. That is, even if the result is determined, they still have to compete
with each other. The deadline for the submission of the 10 events is on the
14th of Sunday. However, it is mandatory for the school to check whether the
program can be adopted. It is safer to make the schools review the events one
by one as soon as possible."
"What if, until the 14th, we are unable to choose 10 events?"
"In this case, the school will set a pre-prepared event for you. But don't
expect it to be suitable for your class. This will only be a disadvantage for
you."
It seems that it would be better to assign 10 events directly.
"There is another point. The same class cannot register two identical events.
If you have registered a football event with a winning rule with a difference
of 2 goals, and you choose a football event by determining the winning result
using the penalty kick as another event. The school will consider it invalid. I
hope you keep this in mind. "
"Can I cancel a program that was decided?"
"This is not permitted."
"Then ... I want to ask about students who will be participating in the day of
the exam. No matter who, or how many times someone participates, is that
okay?"
"Regarding the rules about this program, if explained verbally, it might be

Page 18 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

difficult to understand in some places. For this reason, the school has
prepared a sheet of paper containing detailed
notes about the rules. Furthermore, whether you will copy or do something
with it, you are free to do as you wish. Horikita, the answer you are looking
for is also well written in it. "
Although schools can also prepare paper for the appropriate number of
people, perhaps this is a form of consideration.
If there is only one piece of paper, classmates will have to gather and read the
contents together.
This makes it easy to guide everyone to talk and discuss it as class partners.
"The 10 events decided by each class will also be announced on the 15th. I
have written them on the board. After all, if you did not know what event
your opponent has chosen and what rules there are, it would be very difficult.
"
This means we can study and practice for one week and take action.
There seems to be a battle to predict what the other party will choose on the
day of the exam.
"Then, after the exam ends on the 22nd, there will be a day off on the 23rd.
After that, the graduation ceremony on the 24th and closing ceremony on the
25th, then you will be able to enter spring break without worrying."
Enthusiasm can be very different depending on whether we end up winning
or losing.
In short, I generally understood the explanation of the special exams chosen
for this event.
However, from Chabashira-sensei's expression, it was vaguely seen that she
still had something important to explain.
"In addition to event decision making, there are other things that are also very
important. That is, to lead the class, one person must be a 'Commander' in
this special exam. Students who become Commanders cannot directly
participate in the event. I hope you all remember this. "
"Commander ..."
So, is that why there are 38 yellow cards?
"This is an important position that needs to be addressed in a responsive way.
You must understand that the Commander is allowed to interfere in all events
and help, such as changing players, working on problems that the participant
cannot solve, and not just sports, even if it is Go and Chess, the Commander

Page 19 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

is given room to interfere. "
Is not that just to test the basic skills of students. But the Commander's
involvement?
"The way for Commanders to intervene is also decided in the rules. I think, if
you use Rock–paper–scissors as an example ... You can set it as 'when the
Commander can participate, and can only do it once' or 'the Commander can
replace players' You can set the method of participation. "
The same interventions in general will be allowed for the events.
In the case of baseball or soccer, if we make a commitment to a change of
players, the Commander will play the role of a coach.
Even though there are 7 events, the 'intervention' factor will be a very
important part.
"The Commander will receive personal points individually when he wins, but
will also be responsible for defeat. Then, when the class is defeated, they will
assume responsibility and be expelled from school."
Is this a mechanism to force the losers out of school?
"In this special exam, the Commander is very important. If you don't have a
Commander, the test will not begin. If you cannot come to a decision about
the Commander, come and talk to me, I will appoint it for you."
The form of this test is to ask for an individual.
As a result, the 'protection points' I obtained in the voting exam the previous
day would be a large factor.
It is very clear that there are many eyes and emotional feelings directed at me
now.
Because I am the only person who holds 'protection point' which can cancel
an expulsion.
If I hold this 'protection point', I can avoid being kicked out of school even if
I am defeated as a Commander.
But ---
Is it really the best choice to ask me to take the role of the Commander so that
no one leaves school?
Or is it better to ask talented students like Horikita to become Commanders
and increase the chances of winning even if it's only 1%? For students, they
must choose which is better.
If there are students besides myself who voluntarily serve as Commanders,
I'm afraid that most students won't object.

Page 20 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

On the other hand, everyone will hang on to me if no one wants to be a
Commander.
"How do we decide which class to face?"
"Students who are Commanders in each class will gather in the multipurpose
room after school today. That is to determine someone by a lottery and let
them choose their desired opponent. You have to discuss which class will be
chosen before the draw."
The class that wins in the lottery has the right to determine which class to
fight, and then the remaining two classes will automatically face each other.
"It's best to choose Class D, because we have a high chance of winning."
"Of course, if you choose a class D opponent who has poor overall abilities,
the winning percentage will increase. However, it is not always the best to
fight the lower classes."
If this is the case, then the chances of the other three classes choosing Class
D is also very high - Chabashira-sensei said so. After the fall of Ryuuen, it
was very easy to deal with Class D.
"The most important thing in this exam is not working together, but to take
advantage of the strengths of each class."
Whether we fight with class A or class B, we don't need to worry.
In other words, as long as we choose a good event for our class, we have a
higher chance to win.
However, the higher the difficulty, on the contrary the more advantages the
class has.
When we heard Chabashira-sensei's comments, no one smiled.
At present, Horikita is constantly imagining in her mind - now Class C has
the opportunity to challenge Class A and B with a chance to defeat them.
"However, this statement won't make you better. That means, if you lose this
test and class D wins ... You will fall back down."
Chabashira-sensei took the chalk and wrote the current class points on the
board.

Class points on March 1
Class A · 1001 points.
Class B · 640 points
Class C · 377 points
Class D · 318 points

Page 21 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

Class C and Class D’s points only slightly differ. In other words, even though
we have been promoted to Class C within a year, we will return to Class D if
we lose this last special exam.
That means, in the eyes of the students, they must obtain victory.
"Next, let's talk about changes related to class points ... Each event will raise
or decrease class points by 30 points. If it is 7 consecutive wins, the class will
get 210 points. If you win 5 times and 2 times losing, you will get 90 points
from the opposing class. And the school will give 100 class points as the
prize. "
That means, we can gain up to 310 class points.
According to the results of this event, we can get points from enemy classes.
This rule is also quite desirable. The number of points in the upper class that
cannot be reduced so far can now be reduced as much as possible. Depending
on the settings and results of the event, it is possible to move up to Class B
and possibly down to Class D.
"If the opposing class points are insufficient, the school will fill in the
insufficient points. That is, the class points will become negative but will be 0
on the surface. However, the class must pay back the points in debt to the
school."
In a form that cannot be seen, it means that the class points will be 0 or
negative.
However, this time all classes have more than 210 points, so it seems we
don't need to worry about this problem.

Part 1

After Chabashira-sensei left, there was still a little free time in class.
The students see the paper in front which contains the rules of the event.
"Excuse me."
Horikita broke into the crowd and photographed the note with her cellphone.
In order to return to her seat and see it early, she takes this initiative.
She sat on her chair and looked through everything.
"I'll show you, even though you might not be interested."
"Thank you for your consideration."
Thens he sent two photos in the chat application.
“Special event selection exam and rules for deciding an event.”
・ About small events, complicated events, and rules restrictions.
Overly detailed rules are not permitted.
In matters such as written examinations and other events, the school will
issue questions to ensure fairness.
According to the content of the event, it is forbidden to set game rules that
are too far from the basic rules.
・ About the facilities that can be used.
On the special examination day, the Commander will see the process of the
event in the multipurpose room. In addition, the gym, the field, facilities at
the school, such as the music room and science room will basically be
available, there are also some exceptions.
・ About event boundaries and deadlines.
Only one event per class can be selected for events rated as equal. Events that
are too long or have no time limit may not be allowed.
・ Regarding the number of people needed to participate.
The number of people needed for the event must be different for 10 events,
except for substitute players.
The minimum number of participants for one event is 1 and the maximum
number is 20 (excluding substitute players).
There must be at least two events with more than 10 people in each class
including reserves.
・ About the conditions of participation
Each student can only participate in one event and cannot participate in more

Page 23 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

than one event. However, if all members in the class have participated, they
can participate more than once.
・ Regarding the Commander's role.
The Commander has the right to interfere in the seven events. The way of
intervention is determined by the class that determines the event. This
intervention can only be done with school approval.
The rules are roughly divided into these five categories.
The number of participants in each event, between 1 and 20 people. Events
that require 20 participants are quite limited, but that can be entered in several
ways. If almost 40 people have already played in the event, then they can
play a second time, and even students can play three times depending on the
situation. Although we try to reduce the number of participants and use some
elites to compete, we must change the number of participants depending on
the type of event. That will be increasingly difficult.
"Really, the school is making us prepare for the special exams with hard
work."
"Yes, but this is probably the biggest event of the year."
This is a difficult mechanism to win unless many students participate and
work together.
This is somewhat similar to a sports festival, but this time it's not just good
physical strength that will benefit. Depending on the point of view, there are
battles that use academic abilities, flexible ways of doing things, or doing
things in dexterity. This advantage also has the potential to shine.
We not only have to recognize our own strengths and weaknesses, but also to
find out the strengths and weaknesses of other classes is the key to the test.
Taking into account the selection of these events, the special exam time
arranged by the school is also very clear. It is important to listen to the
opinions of all parties to maximize the power of the events in this special
exam.
In addition, in our class, there are still people who we are unsure whether or
not they will participate in the events. If one person cannot participate twice,
we must make adjustments in this regard.
After understanding the entire description, Horikita still showed an
unsatisfactory expression.
"You don't seem to be satisfied with this special exam."
"Yes, there are a number of things, many of which make me dissatisfied,

Page 24 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

especially what class program to choose on that day is the key to winning or
losing. It can result in a pretty big loss if we end up with competing in events
prepared by the opposing class. "
Because of the absolute trust in the event that they have prepared, they will
attend the shows.
In addition, compared to attending other classes chosen by the program, of
course, they want to compete in their own events to ensure results.
"The school will collect 10 events and notify each class, and then lock 7
events on exam day. Isn't this more fair?"
Indeed, from the point of view of justice, Horikita's opinion is correct.
"The lower classes have a lower chance of winning, but if luck is with them,
the lower classes can also defeat the upper classes."
But, in general, the higher the class’ skill level, the better in many ways.
"That's for sure ... there is a view like that. After all I don't really like this
special exam."
She muttered-
It is time for students to understand the event through discussion.
But Hirata continued to bow his head and wait for time to pass.
"He was still the centerpiece of the class a few days ago."
"Are you trying to say that this is my fault?"
"It's hard to say."
Even though this was Hirata's own problem, no one could understand his
problem, including himself.
"Oh, I want to confirm something before discussing it."
At this moment Sudou spoke. While Hirata continued to stay motionless,
even though the discussion was about to begin in class.
After Sudou looked at me, he began to look around the classroom.
"Many people could not accept the results of last weekend. Right, Kanji?"
"... Well, that's unacceptable, I don't understand at all. Everyone is confused,
why the first place in the praise poll was Ayanokouji. How did you end up
getting 42 praise votes?"
Many of the students' lines of sight are directed at me. It was not an exception
from the Ayanokouji group.
"This means you get a lot of praise from other classes, right?"
At the end of last week, I didn't get the chance to explain.
I had predicted that they would bring this up sooner or later.

Page 25 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

The problem is that I can't tell everything here.
My position in this class is at the lowest level, in my current position, there
was nothing I could say.
"I'll explain it to you."
Horikita takes the initiative.
"Wait, we want Ayanokouji to explain it himself ... Me and my friends ... But
he is no longer here."
"I don't think Ayanokouji-kun can explain it himself."
Horikita stood up and started talking, as if she was trying to protect me.
" ... So what ?"
"Maybe Ayanokouji-kun himself doesn't know what happened."
"You said ... Ayanokouji himself doesn't know?"
"Yes, simply put. This was all planned out by Sakayanagi-san. Regarding
why she did this, I tried to deduce myself. Let me explain myself about the
reason. "
To explain step by step, Horikita answered the question in a way that is easy
to understand.
"First, after she saw Yamauchi-kun as a target, she told him that she would
give her class’ voice of praise to convince him. In fact, there was no doubt
after Yamauchi-kun said it himself at the last moment. So there must of been
a promise like that. But instead, she decided to give a voice of praise to
another student. "
"M-maybe like that. But, why she gave it to Ayanokouji?"
"Then what do you think? Sudou-kun."
"That ... for example, Ayanokouji is actually a very great person, so
Sakayanagi thinks that he deserves praise ..."
"Do you see any great things about him? I have the impression that he is a
student who could run fast. Nothing more."
"That ... Well, I suppose so too."
"He didn't get good grades in the written exam, and besides his fast running,
he has no ability that I can see in other sports. Even if you observe other
things that aren't accompanied by his foot speed, there is no good picture to
talk about . "
These words are fully consistent with the understanding of the people around
me. There is no denying evidence.
"In other words, your assumptions are incorrect."

Page 26 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

Horikita did not hesitate to emphasize.
"Do you want to say that he was only chosen by chance? This would be a
little strange."
"Try to think about it. If Ayanokouji-kun was a great person, would you
deliberately give him a 'protection point'? No fool would give it to a difficult
opponent. If there were exceptions, it would have gone to 'Ichinose' who had
already many predicted from the start that she would end up with a lot of
praise. "
In fact, a total of 98 praise votes have been received by Ichinose. This is the
result of the idea 'it's better to send it to someone than to gather it to
strangers'.
"I'm sure there are no fools who give 'protection points' to tough opponents."
Said Horikita.
"Right, it's impossible to do that."
With an explanation from Horikita, so Kei, Sakura, and many other boys also
agreed.
"Even though I don't know why Yamauchi-kun was Sakayanagi-san's target.
If I assume that she wants him out of the school, then I would be able to
understand the series of problems that have occurred. As planned, let's look
back at what Yamauchi-kun did before in class. us. He formed a targeted
Ayanokouji-kun, and then Sakayanagi-san gave many voices of praise to
Ayanokouji-kun, so she could get Yamauchi-kun expelled from the school. "
"In other words ... Haruki was expelled, all because of Sakayanagi's plan."
"Yes, and the choice of Ayanokouji-kun, was merely a coincidence. She
wanted to choose someone who was inconspicuous and would not harm Class
A. Maybe through these two considerations, she ended up choosing
Ayanokouji-kun."
This explanation was very useful for me.
They couldn't find a way to get away from me in Horikita's explanation.
"That's what I thought. She was aiming to take out Yamauchi-kun resulting in
why she protected Ayanokouji-kun."
Sudou and Ike had no choice but to convince themselves.
Even so, Sudou still couldn't take it.
"Is it because I support him like this, which makes you very upset?"
Horikita looked at Sudou and asked.
Sudou did not answer directly, but averted his eyes.

Page 27 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

"I support him because I realize that the reason why Yamauchi-kun left
school is not because of him, but because of myself. "
Horikita was the one who exposed Yamauchi's strategy in class and forced
him into a desperate situation.
"If you want to blame someone, then you should blame me."
"That ..."
Sudou cannot blame Horikita.
In fact, he also knows that unneeded students will be expelled - there is no
way to prevent this.
However, no matter how well it is explained, it is difficult for everyone to
accept.
Because now, I did end up getting a 'protection point'.
Because only I am in the safe range in the upcoming exam.
"This special exam... Can I recommend myself as the Commander?"
I saw an opportunity and said this.
Although Sakayanagi has not contact me, this time, it is guaranteed that she
will be a Commander.
So, I have to act as the Commander to match my agreement with her to
compete with her in this exam.
"It's true, in the class vote, I gave distrust to my friends, so by becoming the
Commander of this special test, I want to dispel any suspicion."
"Ayanokouji ......"
Sudou looked at me in surprise.
"This proposal is very good, as no one will be expelled, and there is no need
to be suspicious of Ayanokouji."
This will lead to nobody dropping out of school. Because of that Ike
supported to let me be the Commander.
"Wait a minute, I'm very happy with Ayanokouji-kun taking the initiative to
become a Commander, but I mind letting you serve as the Commander."
The person who unexpectedly raised an objection to this problem, was
Shinohara.
"If we ask Ayanokouji-kun to be the Commander, no one will leave the
school even if we lose, because we have 'protection points'. But doesn't this
mean that we surrender to defeat from the beginning? It feels like we will just
be preparing for defeat. After all, Ayanokouji-kun is a very ordinary person,
as Horikita-san said. "

Page 28 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

In other words, she doesn't think we can win with the instructions I will be
giving as Commander.
"If we are confronting Class A or Class B, we will have to face Sakayanagi-
san or Ichinose-san? The position of the Commander seems very important.
If we let Ayanokouji-kun do it, we have no chance of winning. If we lose, we
will return to Class D. You know? "
Some students expressed their agreement with Shinohara's opinion.
"I think it would be better to recruit candidate Commanders for now."
However, this position risks dropping out of school. I'm afraid no one will
raise their hand easily.
If it's a normal situation, we might be able to count on Hirata, but this time, it
seems to be impossible.
Up until now, Hirata had not participated in the discussion, but only kept his
head down.
If you have to say that under these circumstances, the only student who isn't
afraid of dropping out of school to become a candidate for Commander is ...
Everyone looks at Horikita.
However, in the current circumstances, maybe-
"Sorry, but I also want to avoid the risk of dropping out of school ... If,
Ayanokouji-kun is a candidate, I want to say something about that ... As
Shinohara-san said, when it comes to battles against Class A and B, there is
no guarantee that we can win at this stage. "
"But, Horikita-san, you doubted Ayanokouji-kun's abilities before, but now
why do you want him to be the Commander?"
Hearing these words, Kei suddenly interrupted.
"I thought, maybe because I had tried to help him prove that he had nothing
to do with Yamauchi-kun's withdrawal from school. As a thank you, he might
volunteer as a Commander. "
In some ways, Horikita smoothly blocked my escape.
Not surprisingly, there was an intention from Horikita to force me into the
Commander's position.

In her eyes, my abilities were far higher than any other student.
Instead of handing over the Commander to students who can't do it, it's better
to encourage me to be more stable. She made this judgment. Even if I lose, I
have protection points and it won't be a problem.

Page 29 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

"Are there no other candidates for the Commander?"
If there are objections, then people who want to be Commander can say it.
But there are no other students who want to risk dropping out of school.
"Even though Ayanokouji-kun is the Commander, we can also have a
thorough discussion with everyone beforehand. On that day, he will act
according to the instructions and planned patterns. There will be no big
difference with that."
Students who do not want to think too much, gave their approval.
"However, it's almost time for class to end. The school won't give us time to
discuss it. I suggest that we find time to gather and discuss it."
Because Hirata doesn't care, it's likely that Horikita will have to carry heavy
responsibilities in the class.

CHAPTER 3

Opponents

During lunch break that day, almost all students in Class C gathered in class.
Students who did not bring a bento, went to buy their lunch, but will soon
gather again.
As a student who buys my lunch, I left the classroom temporarily.
I went to a place where there were no signs of people around and made a call
to two people.
One of them already sent an email over the phone beforehand, so I
immediately found them.
And the next one -
After doing this work, I bought my lunch and returned to the class.

But there are two people who are absent from class.
One of them is a man who always has never interfered, Koenji Rokusuke.
And the other one is Yosuke Hirata.
In the classroom, 37 people are left gathered.
"Hirata-kun doesn't seem to want to participate."
"It seems so."
I could hear voices of concern, but time continued to pass by.
Discussion to determine the events must be done more than once.
"What do you think! Koenji has never taken it seriously. Right?"
I can understand the feelings of Sudou who wanted to be angry and upset.
Or, there should be some students who may have some hope, and think that
Koenji is at least more serious on the surface.
However, the reality is not going well.
No, or should I say that humans cannot change easily?
Even if it's Koenji, he still mixes with the present.
But I don't think he will always be to act like this.
One day, there will be an exam like voting again.

Page 31 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

At that time, Koenji himself has to pay for his actions.
"Don't mind him, just start. Damn." Said Sudou.
"If you are angry, you will only suffer."
"We're back on topic, I've asked sensei to copy the manuals about the rules of
the program. I'll give it to everyone. Read these instructions carefully after
eating, and then have a special discussion after school."
Horikita had no choice but to take the initiative now because no one was
leading.
"Even though I'm eating, if there's something you don't understand, you can
ask me questions."
There seems to be no doubt on Horikita who has read the manual repeatedly.

Page 32 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

Part 1

After school that day. The class ended without questions.
After, Chabashira-sensei announced to the students who was the Commander
to immediately come to the corridor, then walked out of the classroom.
The person who first got up and left was Hirata.
"Uhm ... about the upcoming exam, we want to discuss it—"
A girl named Nishimura tried to talk to Hirata.
However, his voice didn't reach Hirata who left the classroom without a
glance.
"Hirata-kun ..."
Hirata showed a strong attitude when rejecting her directly in front of
Nishimura and other students.
To say that the only exception is Koenji. There was a pair of refreshing
expressions on his face or rather that he did not see the commotion. He just
continued to stare at his cellphone.
"I ... am going to the toilet for a while. I'll be right back!"
The person who stood up and said that was Wang Mei Yu - most people call
her Mii-chan.
Even though he said she was going to the toilet, she was actually worried
about Hirata and followed him.
"Because it's useless, it seems like only I can do it."
Horikita prepares to lead.
"Sorry, I'll ask you later. I still have business as a Commander."
"Well, you will be choosing our opponent for the class in the multipurpose
room. If you have the right to choose, you must choose Class D."
"I understand, but don't expect too much from that."
I got up and left the class.
Because I have a responsibility as a Commander, I went to the corridor.
"Is that you? Ayanokouji? As the Commander?"
Chabashira-sensei who felt helpless sighed, and her line of sight seemed to
turn in the direction where the two people went.
"I am the Commander."
"...... Is that so?"
After joining Chabashira-sensei, we went to a special building together.

Page 33 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

"To decide the class, I have to go to a special building."
"Because you still need to explain the rules for exam day and how to use
them."
Because the special building was very quiet, the sound of our footsteps were
very loud.
"It was already a big problem getting protection points, but being pushed into
the position of Commander. You really suffered."
"I was not encouraged, I volunteered."
Chabashira-sensei stopped.
"... You?"
"Is that weird?"
"Don't you hate being conspicuous?"
Chabashira-sensei doubted it herself.
"Only if there is a difference between being a protector or not."
"So, like that. That is, you have no way of refusing, at that moment."
Students who have protective points are most likely to be Commanders.
If I refuse to become a Commander, then only I am in the safe zone.
The only difference is being pushed down a cliff or jumping off a cliff.
"However, in any case, being a Commander will have a big responsibility. If
you give up that responsibility, class C will be defeated."
Because there was no one else around, Chabashira-sensei spoke more freely.
"Are you threatening me?"
I saw Chabashira-sensei who smiled softly.
"What do you think? But, I'm really looking forward to it. Finally, I will be
able to see the full extent of your abilities."
Chabashira-sensei who is targeting class A seemed to have high hopes for
me.
"I cannot guarantee victory."
"Is that true? Unfortunately, I can't imagine a situation where you will lose. ”
After that, I did not continue the conversation with Chabashira-sensei.

Page 34 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

Part 2

Function room in a special building. It seems to be the core of this special
exam.
"Looks like three people besides you have arrived."
The door to the room opened. What caught my attention was the teacher who
was in charge of each class and several students. Class A is Sakayanagi,
Class B is Ichinose, Class D is Kaneda.
As expected, they were all students with protection points.
In the room, there was 2 computers and a large screen placed directly
opposite of one another.
"We will decide which class to face when the Commander of each class has
gathered. Everyone will draw a lot from here. Students who get the red circle
on paper will get a choice."
Lottery box.
Mashima-sensei brought it to us and urged Class A to take the first draw, but
Sakayanagi refused.
"There are blessings in the leftovers, so I have no problem being the last.
Please continue with Ichinose-san."
"Oh. I won't hesitate ---"
Class B Ichinose picks first. Then Class C and class D in sequence. The
marked paper is not folded, and the results can be known immediately after
being pulled. Class D, the last Kaneda, gets a paper with a red mark.
In other words, class D has the right to choose an opponent.
"Mashima-sensei, it looks like the last paper doesn't need to be confirmed."
Mashima-sensei raised the last remaining paper. Of course, there is no red
circle there.
"Oh, it looks like there's no luck with leftovers."
"Is that so? I'm always unlucky in the draw."
"Of course, for Class A, no matter who the opponent is, you don't need to
worry, right?"
"There is no such thing, I want to avoid your class if conditions permit,
Ichinose-san."
I myself do not know whether what Sakayanagi said was a lie or her sincere
words.

"Can you tell which Class you would like to choose?"
At Mashima-sensei's request, Kaneda nodded slowly.
Class D should have had a discussion in the morning and after school.
Discuss which class you want to fight.
"Then I'll say it. We, Class D - I hope to play against Class B."
What Kaneda said, was an unexpected declaration of war.
"What about Class B?"
"Ok."
After receiving their second confirmation, Mashima-sensei decided for
another class.
Because Class D has chosen Class B opponents, it is automatically a match
between Class A and Class C is decided.
"I thought you would choose class C, but why choose class B?"
Sakayanagi asked Kaneda for a reason.
"If we want to turn things around now, at least we have to take points from
the upper class. But, even though I like that, I still want to avoid fighting with
class A."
"Is that so? For me who wants to avoid the strong Class B, it is also very
helpful. I wish good luck for Class D."
Sakayanagi nodded and thanked Kaneda. However, there are a number of
tricks behind the formation of this situation. Of course, it was pure
coincidence that Kaneda had the right to vote, but no matter who got the
draw, it would be the same result.
Previously, I contacted Ichinose and Ishizaki after school.
Then I made a request to compete against Class A.
I only hoped to choose Class A as an opponent, but Ichinose agreed to give
up Class A because of my request. As for Ishizaki, it seems that the real
policy is to choose Class B, so there will be no contradictions here.
All this for the sake of fighting against Sakayanagi from Class A.
The only thing that might be a nuisance is if I end up having the right to
choose.
Because Horikita said that she wanted to choose Class D, if I get a lottery
then I have to find some reason for choosing Class A.
The odds of drawing are 1 in 4, so I don't need to worry. In other words, the
interaction here is only in the same direction to determine the outcome.
Sakayanagi also had to understand that I had done some work in preparation.

Thus, the opponents of each class are decided.
"Now I will explain the system for a special examination day. In this
multipurpose room, you will use two similar computers. In this competition,
all Commanders will be assigned to select participants from each event using
that computer in real time."
The computer screen on the left is projected on a large monitor.
When Chabashira-sensei operated the computer, Mashima-sensei continued
to explain.
"For example, this is a list of Alass A students. Move the mouse, drag a photo
of the selected student's face and place it on the frame of the event. If you
make a mistake or want to change it in the middle, use your mouse to put the
face photo back outside the frame. You can repeat it. It's also possible to tap
the screen with your fingertips. "
"I feel like this is a TV game show."
"Really ~"
The atmosphere of dialogue between Ichinose and Hoshinomiya-sensei
seemed pleasant.
"There is a time limit for selecting students in each event. The amount of time
that counts down now is the time of your choice. The more people you need,
the longer the election time you have. You can immediately understand that
you have 30 seconds to choose each person . "
In other words, an event that requires 10 people has 300 seconds.
"If you do not finish within the specified time limit, the computer will
randomly select students based on the number of students who have not
played. Be sure to pay attention to this. Conversely, if the electoral time is
passed, students' photos will be removed from the event frame."
In other words, we must not exceed the allotted time.
"After the exam starts, the big screen will display the exam in real time."
The screen displays a chess match that appears on TV. This is a reference
image.
"After the exams begin, the Commanders' intervention conditions will be
displayed on a computer screen as text messages."
The big screen has been changed to a computer.
The screen shows 'Pause, Commander can repeat this step.'
This is an explanation of 'Commander intervention'.
"When you can confirm content, you can intervene by clicking on this

Page 37 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

condition. Remember that!"
Then the big screen switches back to the game.
"The instructions given by the Commander are not carried out in the form of
calls, but the computer will automatically read the text in the form of chat. If
you enter text and press Enter, it will be sent directly to the participant's
headset."
After that, the computer will automatically read the messages and deliver the
instructions. The reason for not receiving this form of call might be to
prevent inappropriate behavior. The example just mentioned is the
intervention 'Commander who can take this step again.' If the information is
combined skillfully, it can also convey instructions 2 to 3 steps.
"If the Commander takes action against the intervention, it will be considered
a violation of the regulations in place."
Moreover, it's better to have published information that will be carefully
reviewed by third parties.
"At each event, only one person is allowed to use the headset. Even if it is a
team battle, there is only one person who can receive instructions from the
Commander. Who is the person who uses the headset is also appointed by the
Commander."
There is more to be done than I imagined.
Even though general content has been predetermined, the Commander must
always consider unexpected situations.
"The Commander can intervene at any time in accordance to the event’s
rules."
We can freely use our own computer to view, replace, or enlarge or reduce
images.
For example, observing students participating in an event or preparing for the
next event. So, the Commander must do many things.
"The above is the role of the Commander and how to operate it. Do you have
any questions?"
Mashima-Sensei sent a glance to everyone, but there seemed to be no doubt
from us.
"So, this is the end of today. If you want to reconfirm the method of
operation, you are allowed to go to the multipurpose room with your teacher.
Time is limited to the week before the test. Thus the explanation of the
Commander is finished."

Part 3

After returning to the dormitory, I told Horikita which class we would be
against, in chat form, and then I began to consider the role of Commander. In
other words, this is my first time facing a school exam.
To be honest, if this was an individual battle, it would be impossible for me
to lose.
However, my task for this special exam is to direct all the students in the
class.
Fighting can only be done within the class’ skills.
Even an extraordinary strategist, like Sun Tzu, who directs an army of
children to fight against adults, the chance of winning would be one in ten
thousand.
Although only the 'intervention' that the Commander can use is the key, in the
end, there must be a main premise to serve the battle.
In other words, I need to understand the potential and possibilities of all of
Class C.
Who likes who, who hates who, who is good at doing something and who is
not good at anything.
If I don't understand these things, there is no chance of winning.
And regarding my ability to gather information and leadership, I am quite
low in class when counted from the lower caste. I don't know anything, like
Shinohara and Onodera's favorite food.
So what should be done first?
I don't need to think about it. Of course, I want to ask people who know my
class well.
Even though it sounds simple, it can't be avoided.
Those who fulfill these requirements include 'Kei', 'Hirata' and 'Kushida'.
Not just asking one person, I also want to ask all of them about the situation.
However, seeing the current situation, only Kei would be willing to help me.
Hirata is now in an impossible situation. As for Kushida, it would be due to
the impact to her reputation caused by the voting in the class. Even though

Page 39 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

she didn't show his expression at all, she should be quite angry with Horikita.
I don't know how much she doubts me, but I'm sure that his vigilance is far
greater than before.
It was around 6:00 p.m. when it was dusk.
A visitor rings the doorbell.
I didn't think about anything and welcomed the visitors to the room.
"...... Hello."
The visitor ... Karuizawa Kei, was still wearing a school uniform.
"Are you still in school?"
"However, I'm different from you, I have many friends. Besides, I'm the
protagonist of today. "
Kei uses rather strange words and directs her gaze at me.
"Kei is the protagonist? Why?"
When I showed a confused expression, Kei looked a little angry.
"... How can you feel fine? Compared to this, it's very rare for me to come out
at a time like this. You also said you don't need to worry about anyone else.
Don't you have problems if others see?"
Kei seems to be quietly looking around my room.

"No problem. After all sorts of unexpected changes, as a result, their needs
are greatly reduced."
"Because Hashimoto-kun from Class A and senior students have also seen us,
right?"
"Almost like this."
"My relationship with Kiyotaka, it will be open to the public, little by little
...... Is that okay?"
"No problem. "
Was it because of my quick reply, she felt calmer, and heaved a sigh of
relief.
"If it's like that, it can't be helped."
Indeed there are some actions that are easier to do when my contact with Kei
is unknown.
However, the situation gradually began to change.
Also, from now on, compared to behaviors such as spying, it's easier to take
action on the bright side.
"But ...... we are boys and girls of the same class, aren't we? If they find out

Page 40 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

that it is just 'the two of us', strange rumors will arise."
I thought she was someone who did not care about that kind of thing?
"This time I assume responsibility as Commander. Isn't it natural to call Kei
who is the central figure in the class?"
To make sure, I added these words.
"Hmm ... Well, that's true."
At this stage, it seemed like Kei was still worried.
"Why did you take the role of Commander? Even though you have protection
points, you're not the type to feel guilty about it, right?"
Is that a good thing to know about me?
"Regardless of how you want to mention it, after all, I have to show the
impression that I'm worried about my classmates. Besides, Yamauchi just left
school, and I'm still under suspicion in class. So doing this is the best
choice."
"Is that all?"
"Yes."
"If I got the protection point, I wouldn’t be the Commander, no matter what
anyone says."
Because Kei had built such a position, even if she protected her 'protection
points', no one would blame her. That is good.
"Putting that aside, tell me the details of the people in the class."
"First of all - where should I start? I don't know all about it? Especially the
situation of boys."
"That doesn't matter. I'll ask Kushida and Hirata after that."
However, that would only be another perspective.
Whether it will really be needed or not, the situation is still unknown at this
time.
"Of course, if you can hear it from them, you will be able to understand
everything in class ..."
When Kei said that, she thought of the circumstances that made it difficult.
"Apart from Kushida-san, how is Yousuke-kun doing? Looks like he's really
frustrated."
"Are you worried too?"
"Of course. No matter who everyone is in class C, Yousuke-kun's current
situation is difficult to accept."
A Class C where Hirata does not exist. There will definitely be lots of
