COTE: A Man On A Mission || Love is War?

Ryuen might backstab him.

After considering that he was in danger, Hachiman immediately came to the girls' side.

???

You can see that Suzune, who has long black hair, has quite a stern face.

The seats on the bus were assigned according to student numbers on their ID cards.

Kushida and Suzune's seats were next to each other, so 2 of them sat together, and Kushida kept showing her courtesy to her.

This made Suzune feel quite disgusted.

Because Kushida, in front of outsiders, acted like she had a good relationship with her and they were friends.

But she used the bet to force her to do things.

She felt that Kushida-san was two-faced.

In fact, Hachiman felt that Suzune had no right to be angry, 'Because she treated Kushida the same way after entering school.'

If he hadn't interfered, she would have simply used up Kushida-san and kicked her out.

Very unemotional.

However, because of the pairing exam, 2 had fulfilled their bet, Kushida did not have to drop out of school, and Suzune became her protector.

And Suzune is the kind of person who keeps her promises, so there is no need to worry about their relationship getting better or worse.

Hachiman pulled on Kushida, who seemed to be understanding and wanted to give up her seat, and patted Suzune's shoulder.

"You two are rich. Lend me 3 million yen together and I'll pay you back in a while...."

"....Borrow my pocket?" Kushida and Suzune looked over curiously.

Both of them knew that Hikigaya-kun had a huge amount of points, but did he still need to borrow some now?

In fact, Hachiman's points were enough at the beginning.

The points he earned from the school, plus the 10 million given by Chabashira, were enough to exempt him from the penalty of expulsion.

However, he paid 10 million to exchange it for cash.

So even after scanning the point card given by Chabashira-sensei, the current balance is only 17 million.

It's still a little short of 20.

Although he can borrow money from Sakayanagi.

But she is not easy to deal with, you have to ask for favors if you want to borrow money from her.

Hikigaya-kun feels more comfortable borrowing money from Kushida and Suzune, with whom he has a better relationship.

"Do you really want to... take the punishment of expulsion from class yourself-"

But 2 of them just thought about it and quickly rejected blasted idea.

Because both of them have been with Hikigaya Hachiman for a long time, knows only one situation in which this guy would be willing to spend 20 million.

That is to find a girl who cannot be promoted to Class A, and pay for her upgrade, but the price is also very high, she needs to marry and support him.

Therefore, Hikigaya-kun regards the 20 million as his long-term meal ticket for the future and would not give it to his peers casually.

"I'm actually in danger. If Ryuen insists on targeting me, I'll have to pay a heavy price if I'm expelled from school. So I have to dispel Ryuen's bad ideas first...."

His account received a total of 3 million points from Suzune and Kushida.

He also took a screenshot of his account balance.

Then he sent it to Ryuen through chat software.

And soon.

"Drop!"

Received a message on his phone.

It was a message from Ryuen.

[Fuck you....]

Ryuen knows about it, he wants to target him in this exam, but knows it will not work.

Hachiman returned the points to girls.

But over at Ryuen.

The boy with Magenta hair parted in the middle seemed to be concentrating while holding the phone.

"Ryuen-san, are you contacting other classes? Are you preparing to intervene in this exam?" Ishizaki Daichi sat next to Ryuen and noticed that he had changed from closing his eyes to looking at his phone.

"No..."

Because it's not that easy to earn points in first grade.

It was as if he had just thought of how to make good use of the bundled expulsion rule to squeeze out some money, but then Hikigaya sent him a warning.

Not just Hikigaya.

Sakayanagi also sent a message.

'These two people seem to be in sync with each other....' Ryuen's luck was just shit all day, and he knew it.

Ryuen looked at the message he received from Sakayanagi.

[Hikigaya-kun and I agreed to have a fair fight. I am a girl who keeps her promises, so I don't recommend you to get involved recklessly.]

by Sakayanagi.

Although her tone seemed polite, Ryuen interpreted it differently.

[Hikigaya-kun is my opponent. If you attack him, don't blame me for being rude....]

Something like that.

'Does this mean that Hikigaya is your opponent and only you can attack?'

So domineering.

Therefore, after receiving Ryuen's indifferent attitude, morale of Class D continued to be low.

After receiving Ryuen's reply, Hachiman did not leave the girl's seat immediately.

Because he came here specifically to borrow money, also felt that points he had were too few.

1.5 million/ month is still not enough.

Maybe he can get some in this exam.

If his guess was correct, then exam was a crucial test for 3rd graders, similar to the exam in which Chabashira-sensei had been stuck for the past few classes where he voted to drop out.

So the score will be shaken.

President Horikita also asked him to help when necessary.

As for helping out, Hachiman was willing to do so because he was taken care of by Manabu's sister's food.

But he also has some different ideas from Manabu.

Although he is truly excellent, Hachiman doesn't think it's natural that he can graduate after working so hard.

He may not accept money from Suzune's brother, but the same cannot be said for others.

So Hachiman said to his little sister, "You have recorded the evaluation scores of your brother's class, right? Tell me about it...."

At the end of March, seniors will graduate, but only those from Class A will be recognized and get various benefits.

However, Class A in school is fluid, and as long as the evaluation score rises, it is possible to knock Class A down even on the last day.

As a younger sister, Suzune is very concerned about her brother's situation.

That is to say, when class evaluation scores fluctuate every month, she will record ranking of the third-grade class evaluation scores.

"That's the value."

Suzune handed him a palm-sized notebook.

She did keep records.

Hachiman checked and found that her handwriting was very delicate.

Grade 3

Class A 2254 points

Class B 1830 points

Class C, 310 points

Class D: 0 points

Well, a semester has passed since the first day of school, and it seems 3rd years have also experienced fierce score reduction exams.

At least, Hachiman found that evaluation scores of classes were declining.

'Class C and D can be ignored, and it is certain that Sakayanagi intervened. As for Class 3-B, Nagumo paid such a huge price during Sports and brought Class 3-B up....'

The gap between Class A and B is 400 points.

But combined maximum score and deducted points in this exam may result in a score difference of 400 or 500 to 600 points.

So, this is breaking point.

This exam can determine the final class evaluation score.

If Class A holds on and gains enough advantage in this exam, then in 3 months before graduation, when another exam is held, status as Class A will be absolutely solid.

On the contrary, if they lose here, it is hard to say whether Horikita Manabu can graduate from Class A.

This is a competition between Class A and B, and no matter which one comes out on top, they will be recognized by the school.

So this is very different from Chabashira's class.

"This special exam is a training session with the main purpose of spiritual growth.

To this end, you will start with the basics of survival in society, confirm whether you can successfully build relationships with people you don't usually interact with, and learn that point individually."

That's what Chabashira-sensei said, let's dig into her words.

[Surviving in society]

'This meant exam was extremely important. Do ordinary students need to take the test to see if they survived?'

So after comprehensive consideration, Hachiman came to the final result. 'Simply put, this time school probably gave 3rd-grade Class B one last chance. This is significance of exam. Can Class A of Grade 3 defend its title? If not, they will be surpassed! However, if dig deeper into the scale of exam, I found that even first and second graders were involved. Therefore, it is impossible to bribe people without spending money. This is something that 3rd-year graduates of the school need to understand. They need to be more tactful in dealing with enemies and know how to gain supporters on their side....Because society may be much more cruel than our scene. That is to say, the plan to pass exam is also related to spending money. So my idea of making a little fortune can be regarded as taking a ride.'

"That is to say, the more important exam is, more chances you have to earn a lot of money. So girls, be prepared and work hard! It's impossible for this class to graduate as A, so I suggest that you two also collect 20 million points and go solo!"

Who are your little ones!

Kushida-chan glared at him.

She didn't believe this bastard again!

Hikigaya-kun had said that she would graduate as a member of Class A, so she had to fulfill her promise.

As for the status of Class A, she either has to graduate with the rest as Class A, but this is difficult, so Hikigaya-kun will give her the 20 million yen needed to be promoted to Class A when necessary.

And now.

If she accumulates 20 million points and finally uses it to graduate from Class A, then she still has to marry him after graduating from Class A as stated in the agreement!

'Does Hikigaya Hachiman want to marry me and graduate from Class A by collecting my own pocket? He wants everything without even spending a penny? Forcing me to work even more to get 20 million? Not use your own for my transfer? Scumbag!'

However, since Hachiman is willing to help her make money this time, she is still willing to look forward to it.
