In practice, I originally just wanted to be a slacker.

As a result, Yukimura's group now has 6 members, Kamio Tatsuya's group also has 6 members, and Kanzaki's group has 7 members.

Seeing that Tatsuya Kamio chose Koenji, Kanzaki breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this guy was also a little unable to handle Koenji, that problem child.

Then the students in the class were easily divided, and the first-grade groups were quickly formed.

In Tatsuya Kamio's group, there are three students from Class C, two from Class B, one from Class D, and the remaining six are all students from Class D.

In the other groups of Kanzaki and Yukimura, the number of students from the class was also larger.

Therefore, if the group behind them gets first or second place, the class will definitely benefit more. So the three groups tacitly decided that it was about right.

However, this must not lead to failing grades, otherwise someone could actually be expelled.

Even if Class B and Class A have the ability to exempt students from expulsion, that would cost 400 class points and 2000 million personal points. Even if you have the money, you shouldn't waste it like that.

Just after the first-year students finished deciding on the groups, the older students walked over as if they were right on time.

That's right, I'm talking about you, Senior Nagumo.

"It seemed like something went wrong on your end just now. I thought it would take you a long time, but you resolved it so quickly."

Nan Yun's words drew the attention of almost all the first-year students to him.

Moreover, his words also implied that the second and third-year students had already completed their group assignments.

"Since the whole grade has already been divided into groups, let's just start forming large groups now."

Nagumo's proposal clearly surprised and made the first-year students feel nervous.

"Nagamo-senpai, isn't that something we decide tonight?"

"That's true. The school planned for us to start at 8 p.m., but they didn't expect us to form groups so quickly, so they gave us some buffer time."

However, now that our three grade-level groups have been formed, I think forming larger groups directly would be more efficient.

Kamio Tatsuya glanced at Nagumo. Perhaps he did have that intention, but the school's preparation of an afternoon was definitely not because they didn't expect the student council to form a group at this time.

Instead, they deliberately set aside time for students and encouraged them to interact with older students.

This can be seen from the teachers' hurried reactions as they begin to act in the venue.

"Horikita-senpai, what do you think?"

"I also think this is better."

Horikita Manabu obviously had no objection to this, and seeing this, Nagumo looked directly at Kamio Tatsuya in the group of first-year students.

"Kamio-kun, what do you think?"

"I have no objection either; gathering at night is indeed a waste of time."

Kamio Tatsuya really had no objections, because when it came to understanding the upperclassmen, no one among the first-year boys could compare to Kamio Tatsuya and Ryuen Sho.

Kamio Tatsuya naturally used his student council authority to investigate the information of the upperclassmen, while Ryuen sent his underlings out to scout.

Among the upperclassmen, the most capable is undoubtedly former student council president Horikita Manabu, followed by the current student council president, Nagumo Masaru.

However, besides these two, there is another group that should not be underestimated, namely the group of Ishikura, the leader of Class 3-B.

“In that case, you first-year students will nominate the second and third-year groups, and then complete the large group process. As for the order of nominations…” Nan Yun paused deliberately here, “Let your group leaders decide by rock-paper-scissors.”

mora……

That's quite an unexpected idea.

On the first-year side, Hirata looked at Kanzaki, then at Ryuen, and felt that this might not be a bad idea.

"As far as we're concerned, we have no objections." Kanzaki agreed to Nagumo's suggestion, then looked at Kamio Tatsuya, "Kamio-kun, Ryuen-kun, what do you think?"

"I have no objection either."

Kamio Tatsuya smiled indifferently, and Ryuen did not refute him.

"In that case, let's play rock-paper-scissors."

Next, six people came out from the first grade: Kanzaki and Shibata from Class B, Kaneda and Kamio Tatsuya from Class C, and Hirata and Yukimura from Class D.

It was expected that Long Yuan would not attend; if he had played rock-paper-scissors with them, the scene would have been quite interesting.

The results of the rock-paper-scissors game came out quickly: Kaneda's team got the first pick, Hirata got the second, and Kamio Tatsuya got the third pick.

As for the two from Class B, they were really unfortunate, one ranked fifth and the other sixth.

Haha, it seems neither Shibata nor Kanzaki is very good at rock-paper-scissors.

Without hesitation, Kaneda chose the group that included the former student council president, Horikita Manabu.

Next was Hirata, but somewhat surprisingly, he didn't choose the group with Nagumo, but instead chose another group.

There are quite a few third-year students in this group, so it seems he knows a lot about the older students.

Next was Tatsuya Kamio's turn, but he didn't choose directly. Instead, he looked at Kaneda and said, "Kaneda, I'll give you my chance to choose."

Kamio Tatsuya's words surprised all the first-year students.

"This……"

"Hey, Kamio-kun, isn't what you're doing a bit inappropriate? Sacrificing your own group to benefit another group." Kanzaki gave a wry smile.

"Really?" Tatsuya Kamio looked completely innocent. "You guys can do that too? I have absolutely no objection."

Kamio Tatsuya's actions may indeed weaken the group, but they also present an opportunity to make the other team in Class C stronger.

"Furthermore, we don't know much about the upperclassmen, so even if we choose first, we might not be able to select a team with strong overall strength."

Kanzaki was utterly exasperated by Tatsuya Kamio's sophistry.

"But Kaneda-san didn't hesitate at all when he chose Horikita-senpai's group, and Nagumo-senpai's group is still on the field now."

Kanzaki's meaning was clear: if Kaneda and his group were to join the groups of the former and current student council presidents, their advantage would be too great.

“If that’s the case, then Mr. Kanzaki doesn’t need to worry, because I don’t intend to choose Mr. Nagumo’s group.”

Kaneda adjusted his glasses. "Although Nagumo-senpai is very strong, his group has most students from Class C and Class D, so I chose the group of second-year student Goda-senpai."

Kaneda's words seemed rude, but the students in Class C and Class D of Nagumo's group were not angry because of it.

Kanzaki nodded, indicating his agreement with Tatsuya Kamio's decision to transfer the selection qualification.

Next up was Yukimura's group, which was paired with Ayanokoji's. Yukimura immediately and without hesitation chose the group that included Nagumo.

The next four group choices were all from Class B, so Kanzaki unhesitatingly chose the group that seemed the strongest.

And so, the grouping proceeded smoothly. The upperclassmen group that Kamio Tatsuya belonged to was mostly composed of students from Class C and Class D.

However, Tatsuya Kamio didn't care. It was better if the other person was a bit useless, as that would make it easier to control him.

"We meet again, senior. By the way, I haven't asked you how to address me yet."

Kamio Tatsuya even saw an acquaintance here, the one whom Kamio Tatsuya had tricked into talking about in the cafeteria at the beginning of the semester.

"My name is Yoshida Arata, nice to meet you."

When the other person saw Tatsuya Kamio, they greeted him helplessly, which made his classmates look at him with new respect.

This guy actually knows some of the most popular people in the first year; that's quite impressive.

While Tatsuya Kamio was still communicating with the senior students in his group, Nagumo suddenly made a suggestion in front of everyone.

"Horikita-senpai, we happen to be in different groups, how about we have a competition?"

"..."

Horikita Manabu did not respond to Nagumo's proposal, but instead cast a sharp glance at him.

Meanwhile, a sigh of silence came from the third graders, who seemed to have become accustomed to such things. Fujimaki from the third grade stepped forward and came to stand in front of Nagumo.

Fujimaki once hosted the sports festival and was second only to Horikita in strength in the third grade. He was also from the basketball club. I heard Sudo mention that he was very strong when we were in Class D.

"Nagamo, how many times has this happened? Stop it already."

"What do you mean by 'the number', Fujimaki-senpai?"

"Of course, it's about things like you provoking Horikita to fight. I've never interfered in past matters, but this is a large-scale special exam that includes first-year students, so I hope you won't treat it like a game."

Facing Fujimaki, who walked up to him, Nagumo was not intimidated at all. Instead, he stared straight at him without backing down.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with that. In this school, it doesn't matter whether you're a first-year or a third-year student. It shouldn't be surprising if anyone wants to declare war on anyone else, right?"

Furthermore, the rulebook for the special exam doesn't explicitly prohibit it. Or perhaps, Fujimaki-senpai is willing to be my opponent?

Faced with Nagumo's unreasonable and irrational behavior, Fujimaki was dumbfounded. This guy was truly shameless.

"I'm talking about basic morality. Even if it's not written in the rules, there are some things you can do and some things you can't do, that's only natural."

Even though you're the student council president now, not everything will go as you wish.

"Hehe, that's not very interesting."

After speaking, Nagumo suddenly looked at Tatsuya Kamio and asked, "Kamio-kun, which side do you think is right?"

……

Kamio Tatsuya, who had only intended to be a bystander, was speechless when Nagumo suddenly passed the buck to him.

Chapter 242 Horikita-senpai, there are no innocent people here.

Nagumo's passing the buck drew everyone's attention to Kamio Tatsuya, and the students from different grades looked at Kamio Tatsuya with different expressions.

Some people gloated, some looked puzzled, and some gave unfriendly or warning looks.

However, the looks in these people's eyes could not change the answer that Tatsuya Kamio had already prepared.

"It's not that I don't understand senior Nagumo's unreasonable behavior, but this is a school where strength is paramount, right?"

If you want Nagumo-senpai to shut up, just defeat him with your strength.

Nagumo glanced at Tatsuya Kamio, as if to say: Is this your answer?

Haha, not a bad answer.

Then, Nanyun looked at the third-year students with a grin on his face again.

"Horikita-senpai, what do you think of Kamio-juni's opinion?"

Just as Horikita Manabu was about to answer, Kamio Tatsuya spoke up again.

"But since this is a school that values ​​strength above all else, why don't you two seniors have a fight? The one standing on the field at the end is the winner. After all, Senior Nagumo is quite tolerant of violence, isn't he?"

Not many people know about Nagumo's tolerance of violence, and he has never publicly acknowledged it; most of the information comes from private sources.

Now that Tatsuya Kamio has publicly brought this matter to light, he wants Nagumo to express his opinion.

Not only Tatsuya Kamio, but many students also looked at Nagumo, hoping to get answers from him. Nagumo gave Tatsuya Kamio a meaningful look and then began his long speech.

"Indeed, I don't dislike using force to resolve things. We're all in the prime of our youth, and it's perfectly normal for us to fight."

Nan Yun smiled and continued to explain his point of view: "For example, the conflict between Class C and Class D last year, if it were me, I would not have pursued it."

However, if it alarms the school, that's another story. But even so, as long as no student is seriously harmed, I will not expel them because of this.

At most, I'll issue a suspension; I don't plan to deduct class points or individual points.

Then, he turned his gaze to Tatsuya Kamio.

"Kamio-kun, are you satisfied with this answer?"

“I have no objection, because force is also a part of strength.” Kamio Tatsuya completely agreed with Nagumo’s statement.

He disagreed before because he couldn't fight back then, but now that he can, he naturally agrees with the idea that force is a form of strength.

"However, while I am relatively tolerant of fighting, it is a different matter if it is a one-sided use of force. That is not a fight, but bullying. And I will never tolerate bullying."

Nagumo's next words left Kamio Tatsuya speechless.

Tsk, you wouldn't be doing this on purpose because you can't beat Horikita-senpai, would you?

"As for fighting Horikita-senpai, I think it's better to forget about it. After all, I know my own limitations."

I'm no match for Horikita-senpai in terms of physical strength, which is why I proposed a duel during the exam.

As expected, Nagumo readily admitted that he was no match for Horikita in fighting, without showing any sign of humiliation.

He even came up with a reason for constantly provoking Horikita Manabu.

This guy is flexible and adaptable; there's a reason he became the student council president.

"Hmph, you only dare to challenge Horikita and Nagumo by choosing projects you're confident in. Even if you win, don't you feel like you won unfairly?"
