Because the mid-term exam papers for this month were consistently the same in the past, no teacher paid attention to this aspect. As a result, the four Class even had different teaching progress, with significant differences.
And Sakayanagi, when creating the test, had to take all of this into account.
After all, if there was a problem with the test paper, the School would not accept it. So if the content was what was taught in each Class, then even if the old questions were leaked, she could still submit this test paper. As long as the students studied, they could pass.
So this was to save face for the School.
Hikigaya's proposal was somewhat insane, but Sakayanagi Arisu was somewhat tempted.
Because, although Sakayanagi Arisu maintained her elegance when Horikita Manabu rejected her, she even thought that Horikita Manabu's rejection was only because the Class were two factions.
And she could deal with Katsuragi; not dealing with him was just because she thought it would be more interesting.
But.
Indeed.
She was rejected.
Then she would just join the Student Council herself.
This thought made her feel that School life might become interesting.
It was just very difficult to become Student Council President. Not to mention not being able to even get into the Student Council, then how could she win the election?
And as the little princess of the Sakayanagi Faction, the Sakayanagi Faction collected various information.
Among them, information about the Grade 2 was provided.
At the end of their Grade 1, the Grade 2 Class B, led by Nagumo, successfully advanced to Class A.
But Nagumo did not stop there.
He alone controlled the Grade 2.
The School wanted the students to have Class rivalries, but Nagumo was different. In every special exam, he would gather the Class representatives of the four Class, and then discuss and distribute the rewards obtained from the exam.
That's why there were such strange Class evaluation scores for the Grade 2 Class.
Class A 2000
Class B 600
Class C 400
Class D 200
In other words, Nagumo of Grade 2 Class A was not only the Vice President but also had the support of an entire Grade.
So to become Student Council President, she would have to defeat him.
And this was very difficult, but the more difficult it was, the more challenging it was for Sakayanagi.
Thus.
She decided to make a big move with this routine exam and gain a certain number of votes.
So, now she needed to work hard.
But the time left for her was less than half a month.
And in this half-month, Sakayanagi could not skip Class; she could only use her spare time to create the test.
It looked utterly miserable.
However, she quite liked such challenging things.
Thus.
There were only 3 days left until the final exam. Her task was also complete.
"Clank—"
With a soft sound, the room door opened.
Kamuro walked in.
What greeted her eyes was a pink-decorated bedroom with a small bed.
And by the table against the wall, sat a girl with silver hair wearing a beret.
Inside the female dormitory, the petite girl sat on a chair and stretched, with a computer in front of her. On the computer screen was an electronic exam paper.
Hmm.
This was her creating the exam paper.
"Phew, finally done."
Sakayanagi let out a soft breath, her rosy lips slightly parted, "Kamuro, is the tea I asked you to make not ready yet?"
A hint of displeasure was on the girl's face, as if she was annoyed by a servant's disrespect.
"Smack—"
Kamuro Masumi expressionlessly handed over the brewed black tea.
"Hmm, I still prefer this temperature. It seems Kamuro has become quite familiar with me."
"..." Kamuro.
What is this?
Who would want this kind of familiarity?
However.
"So, is there anything you want to say, Kamuro?"
Sakayanagi moved her chair back, making more space for her fair and slender calves.
A faint smile graced her pretty face, and her two fair calves gently swayed back and forth.
Anything she wanted to say?
She had so much she wanted to say!
Because Sakayanagi, do you know what you're doing? You're actually creating your own exam questions to predict the exam.
And for what purpose?
To leak the questions.
So, it's poisonous, isn't it!
Kamuro had spent a hefty 100,000 points to buy the exam paper from Hikigaya.
Of course, while she could also buy from upperclassmen, it would be troublesome if they recorded it and blackmailed her later.
So, it was better to buy from Hikigaya.
And even if discovered, Hikigaya would take the blame.
As a result, she had just spent those 100,000 points, and had only just started memorizing the paper.
To ensure she would pass, she even deliberately hid the fact that she was a poor student from Sakayanagi.
Then Sakayanagi informed her that she was going to leak the questions and then create new ones.
???
Wouldn't that make her a fool for spending so much money on a pile of waste paper?
"You are provoking the entire School," Kamuro said with a stern face.
"Provoking?"
But Sakayanagi said, "That's a good word, but I hope you use it to describe sounding an alarm for the complacent upperclassmen."
"I want to be the Student Council President," Sakayanagi Arisu said. "That position is the pinnacle for all students."
"And I want to see what it's like there."
"..." Kamuro.
Then you are truly arrogant.
Because she had always been by Sakayanagi's side, Kamuro knew that what Sakayanagi was doing now was a weapon to threaten the upperclassmen.
To become President, one needs votes. Just one Class or even one Grade is not enough.
So her target was the upperclassmen.
And the method was probably to target upperclassmen who were unprepared for this exam, or even relied on previously purchased old exam answers.
But she couldn't just crush them; she had to ease into it.
So, she would threaten them a little.
Thus, she started with the First Year students.
How excessive.
"Oh, by the way, Kamuro."
However, Sakayanagi looked up, paused, and then said, "You bought an exam paper from Hikigaya-kun, didn't you?"
"Huh?"
A warning sign rose in Kamuro Masumi's heart, and she instinctively took a step back, but Sakayanagi merely waved her hand, "Don't be nervous."
"You have too many weaknesses. I'm not very interested in recording them right now," Sakayanagi said.
"..." Kamuro.
Kamuro felt that Sakayanagi was particularly annoying today.
"However, since you needed to buy an exam paper, you must also want to see this paper, which will be recognized by the School, in advance, right?" Sakayanagi Arisu said.
"..." Kamuro.
Was Sakayanagi tempting her?
"What do you want me to do?" Kamuro said.
"Send a message to Hikigaya. My part is done; now it's his task," Sakayanagi said.
Kamuro was silent.
In other words, these two's insane exam leaking plan had begun.
And she also knew that the exam paper she bought was useless; 100,000 points wasted.
But now that Sakayanagi told her to do this, she had no other choice.
When you don't know anything, it's better to listen to smart people.
After all, she had no choice.
Thus.
[It has been confirmed that students from Class D have purchased exam papers from upperclassmen. The audio and video recordings have been sent to your email.]
Hachiman received the message from Kamuro.
Should he say, as expected of a Class A student?
They were all students with excellent facilities and outstanding abilities.
But in terms of espionage, they did quite well.
And Hachiman knew that this was Sakayanagi Arisu... urging him to make his appearance.
To report the Class D students for buying exam papers.
Of course, that phrasing wasn't quite right; it should be changed to: a student from Class D of Grade 1 stole the midterm exam paper that was about to be tested.
...
After School in the afternoon, Hachiman went to the Student Council.
And this time, he was alone.
"Student, huh..."
Nagumo Miyabi, the Vice President whom he had met a few times before, was also there.
"First Year, what do you want to do this time?" Horikita Manabu seemed to be absent, so Vice President Nagumo Miyabi took the initiative to speak.
Hachiman was a student who came from Class D.
And now, although he had been promoted to Class C, in Nagumo's eyes, this guy was quite strange.
On one hand, he destroyed cameras and incurred massive point deductions within six days of enrollment, but on the other hand, he actually succeeded in getting promoted to a higher Class.
And the President even invited him to join the Student Council.
This showed that the President highly approved of him.
And this matter... made Nagumo somewhat concerned.
"I want to see the Student Council President," Hachiman said.
"..." Nagumo, "I am also the President..."
"I want to see the President, Horikita Manabu, not the Vice President," Hachiman said.
"..." Nagumo.
Although he was the Vice President, Nagumo also had certain authority.
At the same time.
"If it's something ordinary, then I can also handle it," Nagumo Miyabi showed a polite but somewhat annoyed smile.
"The matter is quite big, and the Vice President might not be able to handle it," Hachiman said. "Moreover, this kind of thing will offend people, so I think it's better for the Vice President not to get involved."
"..." Nagumo. "So, what big trouble have you caused?"
If it was something that would offend people, then indeed... it might not be necessary to do it.
Especially for this ordinary Hikigaya, if it were that cute short-haired girl from before, then she might consider it.
As he said this, two figures appeared at the entrance of the Student Council office.
It was the stern, bespectacled Horikita Manabu, and also Secretary Tachibana-senpai.
"Isn't this Hikigaya? What is your request today?" After Horikita Manabu walked in, he glanced at Nagumo, then fixed his gaze on Hachiman and said.
This was rare for him.
Previously, he had wanted to invite Hikigaya to the Student Council, also with the intention of seeing if he could suppress Nagumo, but Hikigaya refused, recommending his classmate Kei Karuizawa instead.
He had practically given up the opportunity offered to him.
But now, it seemed.
It seemed that before he returned, these two had already begun to clash.
And Nagumo was quite annoyed by Hikigaya.
"I came to the Student Council today hoping that the Student Council President can handle things impartially," Hachiman said.
"Oh?" Horikita Manabu looked over.
"I want to report," Hachiman said. "I want to report Ishizaki Daichi from Class D of Grade 1 for stealing the exam paper to be used for the exam on the 25th."
"..." Nagumo.
"..." Horikita Manabu.
Almost the moment Hikigaya spoke, Nagumo understood what he meant... this was something that would offend people, and it was indeed better not to get involved.
"Among them, I not only discovered that a student from Class D stole the exam paper, but that paper was also distributed by the other party to all the students in his Class," Hachiman said.
"You are truly bold," Horikita Manabu said.
Then he closed his eyes.
"President!" Akane Tachibana looked at him.
Because she had already felt the pressure from Hikigaya's report.
As a Third Year, she naturally knew what was going on with the so-called stolen exam paper.
But.
If Hikigaya's request was not accepted, but he said that Class D students had distributed the stolen exam paper, which meant that as long as the real exam arrived and the paper was found to be the same as the stolen one obtained by Class D students, then Hikigaya and his group could continue to argue on the grounds of unfairness.
They might even question the School's fairness.
And these were all things that Horikita Manabu, as the Student Council President, did not want to see.
But what if his request was accepted?
Then the "stolen" exam paper for the First Year would have to be abolished.
So, the current First Year would have to rely on themselves to take the exam, and… perhaps a large number of them would be expelled. And this was something that neither the School nor the Student Council wanted to see.
Therefore.
This was a difficult problem.
"President—" Nagumo looked at Horikita Manabu.
"Nagumo, what do you think should be done?" Horikita Manabu retorted.
"Me?"
This was a First Year matter and had nothing to do with the Third Year.
"I think if someone makes a mistake, then it should be handled fairly."
"Moreover,"
Nagumo Miyabi said, "First Year students have just enrolled, so they don't quite understand the School's rules yet."
The meaning of this sentence was that First Year students were less likely to know about taking old exams and trying to cut corners.
So even if they took the exam seriously, they could still pass.
It seemed so.
But.
Horikita Manabu glanced at Nagumo.
Because if it was truly handled, the School would be forced to change the exam paper, and with time being tight, there was simply no time to create a new one.
Of course, it was also possible to create an extremely simple paper that everyone could pass. But such an extremely simple paper would cause them to lose face.
Therefore.
The School would be in a difficult position.
But.
To Horikita Manabu, he felt that Hikigaya was not the kind of person who would be so serious about such a matter, which meant that he might want to… do something through this incident.
Because.
The Class with the worst academic performance was Hikigaya's Class. If the School reissued the paper, how could they ensure that a large number of students in his Class would not be expelled?
Thus.
Horikita Manabu said.
"I will handle it impartially."
…
Horikita Manabu would handle it impartially.
And here in Class D of Grade 1.
Forty students were all in the classroom.
And it was Class time.
It was almost time for the written exam.
Because time was tight, everyone was diligently memorizing the answers.
And this was thanks to Ryuen's efforts.
The students of Class D obtained information from the loose-lipped Class C, learning that their Class surprisingly had an upcoming exam paper.
Rather, it was surprisingly old questions that were being tested.
And upon hearing about this… Ryuen immediately arranged for people to verify it.
And after verification, he immediately bought the paper.
However, Ryuen did not distribute it immediately, but only started giving it to everyone yesterday.
His explanation was that if it was given out too early, they wouldn't take it seriously, so he planned to do a last-minute cram session.
And because the Class evaluation point had returned to 0, many actions no longer mattered.
So now, the Teacher was lecturing, but the students were not paying attention, instead memorizing the paper.
