Although Tingtian-san revealed Sakayanagi-san's bribery plan, this kind of thing is not rejected now.

because.

This exam does not involve class evaluation scores, which means there will only be point rewards.

And since Sakayanagi is willing to spend the money, it doesn't mean that it is unacceptable.

and.

Each group is made up of classes, so if Group 1 wins, the students in their class can also get rewards.

At least it can be considered as bringing benefits to other students in the class.

If it can be done on a class basis, then the rewards will be divided equally among the class.

In other words, Kanzaki and the others chose to abstain because of this reason.

To take away the 200 million points given by Sakayanagi.

If you think about it carefully, this operation makes sense.

The students who were originally angry suddenly became quiet.

just.

The question now is-

"We did accept the money," Kanzaki said. "But we informed Hikigaya about this. This was his instruction."

In other words, this was not a private action by Kanzaki and his team, but a decision made by the team leader, so it was the team's strategy.

And then there it is.

"We have already cooperated with Group 1 for this exam, and the points Kanzaki and the others have earned will be redeemed after the exam."

"Doing this will also reduce our chances of winning, so this fee is for the entire team," said Hachiman.

In other words.

The 200 million points Kanzaki and his team earned were divided equally among the group.

There are 20 members in the group, and if the 200 million is divided equally, then each person will receive a reward of 10.

and.

What Sakayanagi can get in return are points, which are much more practical than shopping cards and can be used directly in the cafeteria or other places in the school.

It does look good.

This fee is an additional fee, but normally speaking, the current situation of the group is 7 wins and 2 losses, so there is still a chance to compete for second or first place.

If you come in first, you will get a reward of 20 yuan, but if you come in second, each person can get a shopping card of 2 yuan from the school.

The total reward is 20.

It seems to be much easier.

After all, first place isn't that easy to win, but second place should be no problem - right?

The students seemed to accept it.

but.

"Hikigaya-san, you actually have other considerations, right?" At this time, Amasawa, a junior from Hikigaya's group, suddenly spoke up.

She sat on a chair with her hands on the table and a cute smile on her face.

Tianze is the deputy team leader of the group and should be the person closest to the team leader.

but.

Before the exam started, it was not until Kanzaki and the others volunteered that Ichika discovered that Senior Hachiman and Senior Kanzaki had acted on their own.

In other words, Xiao Yixia is a little dissatisfied now.

Or were you worried that she would leak the information, so you didn't tell her in advance?

It can be seen that Xiao Yixia is not in a good mood.

Sometimes Hachiman feels that Ichika and Sakayanagi are somewhat similar.

The brighter the smile, the worse the mood.

"Accepting Sakayanagi's bribe isn't exactly a legitimate thing to do. That's why I didn't let Kanzaki and the others leak the information," Hikigaya said. "Besides, even if we lose a game now, I don't think our team will miss out on first place."

"Sakayanagi-san, as the leader of Team 1, will definitely not let the team continue to lose."

"so."

Hachiman said. "She'll make Group 1 one of the top three."

"Then the threshold for third place is losing three times."

“Even if the other groups have a low loss record, she will pull them down.”

"So, our two-loss record doesn't look too bad."

In other words.

Losing three times means they're in the top three. Even if the Hikigaya team loses two times, it's not impossible for them to take first place, or it's the most likely scenario.

Does this mean that Hikigaya-san was actually planning to get Sakayanagi-san for free from the very beginning?

The students around were a little surprised.

I know that Sakayanagi-san is the president and Hikigaya-san is the vice-president, and that they should have a good relationship, but Hikigaya-san, you are being too heartless.

just.

Compared to ordinary classmates, Yixia suddenly started thinking.

And Shiina, the smart one in the group, also started to think.

According to Hikigaya-san's idea, even if they don't compromise now, Sakayanagi-san will arrange other means to make Group 5 lose.

and so.

It’s better to take the money now.

Simultaneously.

It should be noted that Hikigaya-san knows Sakayanagi-san very well, so he will be able to understand Hikigaya's intentions more deeply.

So is this the actual situation?

Is such that.

If the team rejects Sakayanagi's deal this time, there is a 50% chance of winning.

And if you win with this 50% chance, you can have a steady chance of getting second place.

but.

Only 50% is not safe.

Simultaneously.

Based on Hachiman's understanding of Sakayanagi, he didn't think that Sakayanagi would let Group 1 get third place as he said.

In other words.

Sakayanagi, the bad loli, might want to make all the top-ranked groups lose 3 games.

In this case, Group 1 will have the opportunity to play overtime and then win first place. Even if Group 1 loses at that time, she can give Group 1 another chance to win first place, then the reputation she wants will be achieved.

So by that time, what Sakayanagi had to do would be done.

Even if he is behind, he must be strong and have a chance to get the first place again. This is the Sakayanagi Arisu that Hikigaya knows.

If we find out that she has this intention, then the risk of losing 3 games in the group is very high. Therefore, in this situation, the best way to deal with it is to take points from her.

……

After the explanation, the atmosphere in the group seemed pretty good.

Perhaps because he had just betrayed the group, Watanabe from Ichinose's class very tactfully went to the playground to check on the arrangements for the next round of exams.

And soon, he ran back.

And this time, he brought back the exam schedule.

"Next round, byes!"

Is it.

Bye.

Then it's time to rest.

Hikigaya looked around and found that all the students were there except Yamamura. However, because of the explanation, even though Kanzaki and the others had betrayed the group, the atmosphere around them was still good.

This is what Kanzaki and his team can do. They can directly take out the 200 million points that were bribed and divide them equally with the members of the group.

in this way.

Hikigaya temporarily left the classroom and walked outside.

It can be confirmed that the test result that Sakayanagi-san wanted was definitely not the so-called third place.

She will make the 200 million points she paid this time worthwhile, so it is very likely that the top-ranked groups will all suffer three defeats, and finally three or two groups will compete for the first place.

However, there are also some victims in Sakayanagi-san's chess games.

And now, Hikigaya-san is walking towards the victim.

Then, I easily found the person at the vending machine I met last night.

From Hachiman's perspective, he could see a girl with a ponytail sitting on a bench next to the vending machine. She held a bottle of water in her left hand, her right resting on it, her eyes downcast, as if she'd encountered some kind of trouble.

"Squeak-"

Hachiman deliberately increased the volume of his footsteps, causing Yamamura, who was lost in his own emotions, to react immediately.

"Well, I'm actually - sorry." Yamamura noticed Hachiman's figure. She originally wanted to make an excuse, but seemed to have given up and chose to apologize.

She said she was not feeling well and wanted to go to the toilet, so she should be heading to the toilet, not here.

But this kind of defense became nonsense, so she finally chose to apologize.

"I received an order from Sakayanagi-san that if I compete as a competitor and encounter a Group 1 event, I will need to forfeit," said Yamamura-san.

In other words, this is Shancun's confession.

If she just said Sakayanagi-san's order like that, would that mean she was betraying Sakayanagi?

however.

Sakayanagi issued the order, but she did not obey it. Instead, she ran away when Hachiman called her to go on stage. So, is this also considered as disobeying Sakayanagi's order?

Or maybe it would be considered as betrayal to Sakayanagi.

“I feel like I haven’t made any progress since I came to this school,” she said.

Her tone was somewhat lingering.

This made Hikigaya, who had been praised by Yukinoshita's sister, Ms. Haruno, immediately recognize that this Yamamura-san might be hoping to receive psychological treatment.

"..."

Hachiman hadn't even started college yet, nor had he majored in psychology, but he found that he needed to have knowledge in this area now.

Hachiman has a special feeling towards Yamamura-san. On the one hand, she is a flaw of Class A, and Kamuro-san basically cannot control her, but Yamamura may still be developed as a spy for Class A.

Of course, this is the plan of Longyuan class.

As for Hikigaya, if he hadn't entered this school, he probably wouldn't have any friends even if he stayed in Sobu High School.

So I can understand that I am often alone in the mountain village, but I still struggle to maintain the feeling of not being excluded.

And now, she seemed to be in confusion.

"Actually, when I met Kamuro-san last night, I knew that Sakayanagi might have given you some kind of instructions," said Hikigaya-san.

"So you asked me to take the exam today—"

Yamamura's attention seemed to be drawn immediately. Then she shook her head. "Hikigaya-san was trying to comfort me. I'm sorry I made you worry."

"I've been paid by Sakayanagi, and I can go to Class A," Hachiman said to himself. "But before that, I will end my agreement with Ryuuen. That means I will lead Ryuuen's class to make a push for Class A."
