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

Well, there's no way around it, Long'er is still too authoritative!

As for Sudo himself, he looked embarrassed.

At this moment, Kamio Tatsuya really wanted to say to Sudo: Your Majesty, he's playing you for a fool.

"I don't think it's possible to teach Sudo to cook within two weeks, but since you've brought it up, it means the other party must have relented, right?"

"That's right. She lowered her requirements, allowing a guy who can cook to prepare a meal for her instead of Sudo. As long as she's satisfied, she'll agree to team up with Sudo, but the dishes must be the ones she specifies."

After Horikita finished speaking, he looked at Tatsuya Kamio, and then, as if he had thought of something, he looked at Ayanokoji.

The discussion was so natural that she subconsciously treated Kamio Tatsuya as a classmate.

In fact, she had thought more than once how wonderful it would be if Tatsuya Kamio were still her companion.

"What are you looking at me for? I can't cook." Ayanokouji noticed Horikita's gaze and tried to run away. "Besides, shouldn't we ask the all-knowing Hirata-kun for something like this?"

Yeah, Hirata is a jack-of-all-trades, he might actually know how to cook.

Tatsuya Kamio also looked at Horikita, waiting for her answer.

"It's no use. Hirata... isn't good at cooking, so it's probably difficult to satisfy him."

Moreover, that guy named Amasawa said he doesn't like Hirata, who's like a central air conditioner.

Central air conditioning, hahaha, you really dare to say that!

Ok?

Wait, isn't this Tianze a first-year student?

How did she know that Hirata was a central air conditioner?

"This junior seems to know Hirata quite well."

As he said this, Tatsuya Kamio glanced at Ayanokoji, the meaning of which was self-evident.

For students who have only been in school for a week, it can be quite difficult to understand what kind of people second-year students are.

To be able to conclude that Hirata is a "central air conditioner" in such a short time, she must either have very keen observation skills or have collected information about Hirata within this week.

Or someone must have put Hirata's information in front of her.

What Kamio Tatsuya thought of, Ayanokouji naturally thought of as well, so he looked at Horikita and asked a question.

"Horikita, has anyone been asking about Hirata lately? Especially the first-year students."

"I don't think so. Why are you asking this?"

Horikita was a little confused.

This guy still needs to practice.

Tatsuya Kamio and Ayanokouji exchanged a glance, both understanding the meaning in each other's eyes.

Since there isn't one, then it must be the second one.

Someone presented Hirata's information to this junior student, Amasawa.

As for why it couldn't be that they knew Hirata before, that's of course impossible, because Hirata wasn't like this when he was in middle school.

He was unremarkable at the beginning of his high school years, but later he became a tyrant who ruled the entire school.

Hirata became a "central air conditioner" (a term used to describe someone who is overly concerned with personal matters) after high school, so this option is eliminated.

Could the other person be a student from the white room?

Kamio Tatsuya thought it was impossible. If it was a student from the White Room, then the other party must have come with the intention of getting Ayanokouji expelled from school.

And someone who can graduate from the White Room certainly isn't an idiot who immediately self-destructs, right?

But if she wasn't from the White Room, where did she get Hirata's information from?

It doesn't make sense.

"You still haven't said why you asked if anyone had inquired about Hirata's situation. What's going on?"

"Hirata's central air conditioning behavior only started after high school, so..."

Hearing Horikita's follow-up question, Kamio Tatsuya repeated his analysis to Horikita.

Horikita nodded.

"So, you mean that Junior Tianze approached us with an ulterior motive."

"It's you, not me."

Tatsuya Kamio stretched out his finger and shook it.

"Anyway, I don't know what her purpose is. If you want her to team up with Sudo, then good luck. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

It's getting late, it's about time for dinner.

Hmm, let's cook a meal today, it's been a while.

Chapter 304 On Violence

On the third day, according to information on O, there were already more than forty pairs of partners. Apart from the ten pairs of partners from Class D and Class B who had finalized their collaborations, most of the remaining pairs belonged to Ichinose's class.

Some people from Class 1 and Class C have also formed partnerships. Class C is still unaware of the situation, but for Class 1, Long Yuan has gone straight back to his old profession.

Although the school stated that forcing students to achieve low scores would result in elimination, the rules did not explicitly prohibit students from threatening others to form partnerships.

Longyuan directly lured the students with points, then forced them to team up with students from his class, promising them 20,000 private points as a reward if they passed the exam well.

This is also to prevent the other side from going down with them and dragging everyone down with them.

A slap followed by a sweet treat—an old trick.

Of course, Longyuan, a veteran who had spent a year at the school, would not leave any evidence against him, so there was nothing to worry about.

If they really run into a tough nut to crack, Longyuan won't force it. Bringing this kind of guy on as a partner would actually be a bad thing.

Using this method, Ryuen has already recruited several students with academic abilities above B to become teammates with Ishizaki and Komiya.

However, what worries Kamio Tatsu is that so far, no one in Class 1-D has teamed up with a second-year student.

Hehe, this must be Baoquan's order. I didn't expect that this guy would still have so much authority after causing the class to lose 200 class points.

I just wonder how long this prestige can last?

Nothing special happened today. Longyuan is still doing things that can't be made public, and Class 2-C has also started to take action.

In fact, the Sakayanagi class has more students with an academic level of B or above.

Because the students in their class have had a higher average quality than those in other classes since the beginning of the semester, and they have not relaxed their efforts throughout the year.

Once you choose to work with first-year students, you'll unleash tremendous power.

After school, Kamio Tatsuya went to the library with Shiina. Since he didn't have any exams to worry about, Kamio Tatsuya was quite free.

Everything is ready, except for the final push, Baoquan, please don't let me down!

Time passed just like that, and it was Friday morning.

The students have mostly started to form teams, but even so, Class 1D is still silent, with none of the forty students successfully forming a team.

Very good, Baoquan, you're using the whole class to protest against the school, that's great.

Good morning, Kamio. You're here early today.

Just as he stepped out of his room, Kamio Tatsuya ran into Ayanokouji from next door.

"It's alright, I do get up early sometimes."

The two chatted casually as they walked toward the school, and on the way they encountered a first-year student, Nanase Tsubasa.

"Good morning, Ayanokouji-senpai, Kamio-senpai."

"Well, good morning."

Ayanokouji seemed surprised to be spoken to by someone else, so he paused for a moment.

"Good morning, Nanase-senpai. It seems that no one in your class has teamed up as of this morning."

Kamio Tatsuya had no such concerns and even asked about the exam directly.

"I sought out the two senior students precisely because of this matter."

coming.

Kamio Tatsuya's heart skipped a beat. "Hosen-kun, you gorilla really don't disappoint."

"Following Baoquan's instructions, all the students in our class refused to team up with the seniors."

"So, you're planning to just let the timeline go to the last day and then let the system randomly assign teams?"

Tatsuya Kamio raised an eyebrow.

“That’s right. In that case, some second-year students might drop out. If Kamio-senpai or Sudo-senpai are willing to drop their charges against Hosen, Hosen is willing to let the students accept the team.”

Haha, you're threatening me now? Who do you think you are?

Just a first grader.

Tatsuya Kamio was fully aware of Hosen's intentions.

If the game drags on until the very end, both those who didn't get a team and those who were forced into a team will have 5% of their points deducted.

Don't underestimate this five percent. Although people with high academic ability like Tatsuya Kamio don't care, it's a different story for those with low academic ability.

For example, a student with a grade of D, according to the school's standards, has an academic ability of about 250 points.

A combination of two D-grade students can barely pass the exam, which is 501 points. However, if five percent is deducted, the score will be dangerous.

Not to mention that there are students with academic ability E in Class D of the first year. If students below B encounter students with academic ability E, they are basically doomed.

Of course, this kind of combination wouldn't happen in a normal team formation, but if the entire Class 1D really refuses to team up, then this situation is very likely to occur.

Unless the second year focuses on supporting those with lower academic abilities and leaves a large number of high-achieving students, then there's no need to worry about their antics.

However, after Baoquan came up with this plan, he did not issue any notice until today, when most of the second-year high school students had already formed teams.

The purpose is to catch someone off guard.

Kamio Tatsuya smirked at Baoquan's actions.

No way, Baoquan, I have your every move under my control. This is really unsatisfying.

Seeing the smile on Kamio Tatsuya's face, Nanase knew his answer.

"Isn't Kamio-senpai afraid that second-year students will drop out because of this? Even if the class has already found partners for students with lower academic abilities, what about the other classes?"

If someone drops out because of this, they'll all hold it against Kamio-senpai. Aren't you afraid of being resented by the other students?

Nanase's expression remained unchanged, and she spoke without any emotion, clearly just relaying Baoquan's words.

“Holding a grudge…” Tatsuya Kamio’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “Who do you think you’re talking to? Nanase-senpai, you still don’t know this school very well. Who do you think I was showing my protest letter on the forum?”

Will that protest letter actually be approved?

Nanase looked incredulous and surprised, and even Ayanokouji was somewhat puzzled, his ingrained mindset preventing him from ever considering challenging the rules.

Because in Ayanokouji's upbringing, the orders of the White Room were everything, and even though he had left, he still had to go back.

Even the reason he chose to leave the white room was because of the underlying logic that the white room had implanted in him.

The underlying logic is to make Ayanokouji, as a student, stronger.

However, Ayanokouji felt that he could no longer grow in the White Room, so he followed the White Room's bottom-level instruction—to become stronger—and came to the outside world.

"Then just wait and see. You dare to use your talents in my first special exam? If I don't teach you a lesson, you simply don't know what respect for superiors and inferiors means!"

Tatsuya Kamio sneered. Now it was time to force the school to make a decision.

In Japan, whether in school or at work, juniors are expected to show due respect to their seniors. Moreover, the Japanese workplace follows the "first come, first served" principle, and the order of entry directly determines seniority ranking.

While seniors have the responsibility to guide juniors, juniors also need to obey the arrangements made by their seniors.

A guy like Baoquan, who tries to overthrow his superiors and force his seniors to submit, will not be accepted by society because he does not abide by the unspoken rules.

What is this school for?

It is to cultivate talents who are useful to Japanese society.

To put it bluntly, it's a place for training high-level cattle and horses.

Even high-class cattle and horses are still cattle and horses!
