Demon Slayer: I was taken home by Shinobu Kocho at the beginning.

If they hadn't made a fortune during the preferential treatment exam, these guys in Class D would probably be eating free mountain vegetable meals every day by now.

The atmosphere in the other classes was quite different at this moment.

Most of the students in the class were briefly filled with self-doubt. They were using questions created by students in Class C, while Class B was using questions created by them.

But even so, they still failed to achieve victory, which is truly unacceptable.

"There's no need for you all to be so discouraged. The reason you find the questions difficult is because Class C asked older students for help with the test."

This is what Kamio Tatsuya told Sakayanagi yesterday, after all, he wanted to make sure the other party understood why they lost.

"Is...is it still possible to do this?"

"Is this allowed?"

The class was in a temporary commotion.

"This time it's my responsibility. I didn't expect Class C to be able to get the exam questions from Class D, nor did I expect them to choose to ask older students to give us the exam questions."

Fortunately, everyone's learning progress was good, and no one dropped out because of it.

For the class, this was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

Chapter 220 Ayanokouji, are you kidding me?

Sakayanagi's act of admitting her mistake was clearly very popular, and coupled with her cute appearance, students in the class immediately came out to comfort her.

"How can you blame yourself? We didn't think of that either."

"That's right, Sakayanagi, you've already worked so hard, not only setting exam questions but also tutoring your classmates, so please don't take this matter to heart."

"Victory and defeat are common occurrences in war; we will definitely win next time!"

……

With just a few words, Sakayanagi reignited the fighting spirit of the students and even won over a group of hearts.

Meanwhile, Class B is currently in a state of frenzy.

"We're only 18 points behind the class. If we keep up the good work and work steadily, we might be able to turn things around and become the class next time!"

It's no wonder the students in Class B thought this way, because since the summer vacation, Class B has consistently outperformed the rest of the class in every special exam.

Whether it's the deserted island, the sports festival, or this Pper Shffle, Class B is gradually gaining more and more class points.

No matter the time, they were always the victors when facing the class.

This gave them the feeling that as long as they worked hard, they would definitely win.

As for Class D, most students had only one thought: they would consider it a success if they weren't expelled.

After the exam, the students in Class C relaxed for a while, because it was clearly stated on the board that there would be no more exams before the start of winter break.

It's early December now, and there are still more than two weeks until winter break.

This period is also a good time for students to relax and unwind from the fatigue they've accumulated from studying recently.

Ryuen's actions became increasingly reckless, directing the students of Class C to gather intelligence everywhere.

This guy could have just called Ayanokouji out and beaten him up, but he didn't. As for the reason, Tatsuya Kamio can guess.

He not only wanted to find the guy who was using his name, but also wanted to push the guy to his mental limit and see the guy's panicked expression.

But this was undoubtedly impossible, because even Tatsuya Kamio had never seen Ayanokoji show a panicked expression.

If we can see it this time, it might be a gain in itself.

As for Tatsuya Kamio, aside from school hours, he spends his time either dating Shiina at the library or dating Kamuro in his room or outside.

Of course, he didn't neglect his work in the student council or his weekly exercise routine on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

"Speaking of which, Kamio-kun, your class's exam results this time were truly astonishing."

In the student council office, Nagumo was handling his work while chatting with Tatsuya Kamio.

"Well, we just promised to give the students in Class D some points, and they agreed because Class D had a decisive advantage over the other classes in this exam."

When facing Nagumo, Kamio Tatsuya speaks without hesitation. Although Nagumo takes good care of him, it doesn't mean he has to tell him everything.

Nagumo naturally understood what Kamio Tatsuya meant; the difference in the number of test takers this time reflected the difference in their abilities.

"Oh right, I remember Horikita-senpai's sister is in Class D."

"Yeah, that's right."

"How capable is she? Has she inherited her brother's strength?"

"That's completely impossible. Otherwise, Class D wouldn't still be at zero points."

Nan Yun thought about it and realized that it made sense.

"However, there is indeed a very capable guy in Class D."

This piqued Nan Yun's interest.

"Oh? You're not talking about yourself, are you, Kamio-kun? After all, you were a student in Class D at the beginning."

“Of course it wasn’t me,” Tatsuya Kamio immediately denied. “Besides, you should have seen this person before.”

"I have seen?"

Nagumo began to think about the first-year students he had seen, especially those in Class D.

"You're not talking about that guy who raced with Horikita-senpai during the sports festival, are you?"

"That's right, it's him, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka."

Kamio Tatsuya sold Ayanokouji without any qualms.

"It really is him?" Nan Yun's interest grew. "But what's your basis for this? I remember that kid didn't seem to have any particularly outstanding qualities besides being fast."

"Of course. After I joined the student council, I checked Ayanokouji's entrance exam scores and the three exams in the first semester. He got 50 points every time."

"It's no big deal. If he wasn't lucky, it was just score manipulation, something I could easily do too."

Nagumo didn't care about this at all, and it was obviously unlikely that he could be persuaded with this.

Kamio Tatsuya thought for a moment, then continued to ask questions.

"Shouldn't Senior Nangumo have taken a small test a month after enrolling last year?"

"That's right, just like you guys."

"Do you still remember the last three questions on that quiz?"

Nan Yun's face darkened at the mention of this.

"Of course, that question was very difficult; even I couldn't solve it."

“But Ayanokouji solved it.” Tatsuya Kamio smiled. “The student who could solve this kind of problem only scored fifty points on that quiz.”

"I see," Nan Yun nodded. "If that's the case, it is indeed very suspicious."

Do you have any other evidence?

“Other evidence?” Kamio Tatsuya stroked his chin. “Nagamo-senpai should know that I’ve been training in martial arts with Horikita-senpai recently, right?”

"Yeah, speaking of which, I'm quite envious of being able to personally receive training from Horikita-senpai," Nagumo said, half-jokingly and half-seriously.

However, Kamio Tatsu took it as a joke.

"Actually, not long after the start of the semester, Horikita-senpai had a match with Ayanokouji. I just happened to be passing by at the time..."

"Wait, you said those two fought? Who won?"

Nagumo seemed very concerned about this matter, and he became quite excited.

"Well, we only exchanged two moves, but Horikita-senpai told me privately that if it came down to it, he probably wouldn't be a match for Ayanokouji."

Nagumo opened his mouth, instinctively wanting to refute, but he also understood that Kamio Tatsuya had no reason to lie to him, because he could find out the answer by simply asking Horikita Manabu.

Horikita Manabu is not the kind of person who can't accept defeat, and he would never lie about something like this.

However, this only increased his interest in Ayanokoji.

"Your Class D this year is really interesting. Not only did you have a talent like yourself, but you also have Ayanokouji, who is shrouded in even more mystery."

"You flatter me, Senior Nan Yun."

Nagumo glanced at the humble Tatsuya Kamio, then took out a stack of documents from beside him.

"After you finish your work, take this document to the principal's office."

"material?"

"Yes, this is a project I plan to implement next year. You can take a look at it in advance if you want," Nangumo said, feigning generosity.

The plan to be implemented next year.

"Could it be that?"

"Yes."

Kamio Tatsuya nodded, then finished his work and picked up the stack of documents from Nagumo's desk.

After taking out the materials, I saw a few English words written on the top cover—Overall bility.

Over ll bility, comprehensive ability.

Is this the finished product of Nagumo's soon-to-be-implemented meritocratic plan?

Hehe, I feel a bit of anticipation.

After greeting Nagumo, Kamio Tatsuya headed to the special teaching building with the documents. He had been to the principal's office a while ago and had met the school's chairman of the board there.

Then, when he went to the principal's office again today, he met Chairman Sakayanagi again.

"Kamio-kun?" Chairman Sakayanagi was a little surprised, but after seeing the documents in his hand, he understood. "You're here to deliver documents, right?"

"Yes, it's President Nagumo's policy regarding the next academic year."

"I see." Chairman Sakayanagi nodded. "However, the principal isn't here right now. Although I can pass it on for you, I'm a bit busy right now. Could you please wait here for a moment?"

Tatsuya Kamio nodded, having no objection to this.

And the current situation clearly indicates that something has happened.

So the two walked to the principal's office, where he saw a familiar face, the homeroom teacher of Class 1-D—Chabashira Sae.

Why is she here?

What happened?

"Mr. Chairman?"

Upon seeing Chairman Sakayanagi, Chabashira Sae immediately came up to greet him.

"Thank you for your hard work, Chabashira-sensei," Chairman Sakayanagi greeted him gently. "Please wait here for me for a moment, Tatsuya."

Um, we've only met once, so why are we calling each other by name?

However, when he saw the surprised and uncertain expression on Chabashira Sae's face, he immediately understood that she was ordering Chabashira.

"Okay, Uncle Mamori."

Upon hearing this, Chairman Sakayanagi gave Tatsuya Kamio an approving look, then knocked on the principal's office door and went inside.

"excuse me."

As the door closed, the corridor inside returned to silence.

"What exactly is your relationship with Chairman Sakayanagi?"

Chabashira Sae looked at Kamio Tatsuya with suspicion and uncertainty.

"Is Teacher Chabashira scared?"

Seeing the other person's expression, Tatsuya Kamio's lips curled into a mocking smile.

"Don't be so arrogant. Don't think that just because you've climbed up to the Sakayanagi family, I can't do anything to you."

Looking at the woman in front of him who was like a madwoman, Kamio Tatsuya didn't even want to pay attention to her. He just leaned against the wall and closed his eyes to rest.

Not long after, the door to the principal's office was opened again, and a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties came out.

Judging from his walking posture, Kamio Tatsuya could tell that the other party didn't seem to have any fighting experience, but his face looked extremely fierce.

Judging from his appearance, this guy is not a good person.
