COTE: A Man On A Mission || Love is War? Ch 407 – Arisu Comforting Yukino~

Student Council

“I'm Sakayanagi Arisu from Class A, 2nd year, and I'm currently serving as the Student Council President.”

“.....” Yukino “President Sakayanagi.”

“No need, you can just call Sakayanagi-senpai.”

“.....” Yukino felt like the mont she entered this office, she just couldn't help but be speechless, “...Sakayanagi-senpai?”

“• •” Arisu felt her cheeks burns.

“pfff------” Kamuro-san wanted to laugh so badly, but she had to forcibly keep her mouth shut so as to not get grounded again.

Um....As far as first impression is concerned, Yukinoshita gives Sakayanagi a good impression.

After all, she is cute and adorable, and most people would not be able to call her “senior” right away.

“...The main reason I asked you to co here this ti is to finalize the cooperation for partner exam. Since you know essence of the school, you also know that it holds special exams every month. And, being in Class A, it's lonely up there....”

“Yes.” Yukino did not deny it. 'If I was just curious about the various performances of this school yesterday, today I have been told the truth about this school....Only by graduating from Class A can you redeem the rewards advertised.'

At the sa ti, Yukino's thinking ability is not weak. 'I also understand that school will only provide such treatnt to Class A in the end, obviously hoping that students will compete....The form of competition should be special exams every month, and then there is also competition between everyone’s living expenses and classes. So, everyone needs to be mobilized. Therefore, this school should be a large-scale testing ground funded by the governnt. The goal is to cultivate talents. When it cos to talent, I actually have so doubts. Generally speaking, I was assigned to Class A at the beginning, so I had an advantage. That is, if we look at the OAA data alone, we can still see that students in Class A are the best, while the students in Class B are slightly inferior, and quality of students in Classes C and D is much lower. Although there were a few people whose panels stood out, I felt that...so points were deducted sowhere in the unified evaluation.'

'Generally speaking, quality of students in classes A and B is probably in two completely different realms from that in CD. So, I even doubted whether so-called class competition was really fair? Perhaps the real purpose is to cultivate students in Class A or B, while C and D are just to increase diversity. My reason for saying this.....'

“I'm your horoom teacher, Akeno Hijima. The first special exam you'll take is a joint written exam with second-year students.”

“Even if you enter the society, you will encounter such problems and need to cooperate with other companies or predecessors...”

'School is modeled on social experience. Is goal of this proving ground not to cultivate so-called good students, but to accelerate and mass-produce students who are suitable for society?' Yukino has various doubts which she needed to confirm.

"ow!"

At this mont, cat that was driven under the table by Sakayanagi before introducing herself to Yukino made a sound.

Then, it slipped out, imdiately attracted the attention of people in venue.

Kamuro-san quickly walked over and picked up her cat, “I'll take it out first.” To be honest, she was just waiting for any mont to escape and laugh outside.

“Uh....” But the look of Yukinoshita, who had just been thinking seriously, suddenly showed so regret.

??? Maybe she noticed that everyone was looking at her.

“Nothing,” However, Yukino said very seriously, without looking away. But, she clearly felt a little sorry about Kamuro-san's attempt to take cat away.

So, just to check, Kamuro-san then put the cat down. Yukino's facial expression seed to relax a little.

So, Kamuro-san continues to make moves to take her cat away. Kouhai Yukino's expression seed to be a little regretful again.

“….”

“....” X2

This person is a cat lover.

Almost instantly, Master Sakayanagi and her servant understood each other's minds, imdiately confird true nature of this new first-year girl.

“Then let's talk about cooperation. As you can see from this exam, difference in evaluation scores of the three classes of 2nd-year students is not that big. Even my class A can't say that we can take this exam completely easy. But I believe that if we can work together with your first-year Class A, we will achieve a win-win situation in this exam.” Knowing, there was another cat lover in her office, Sakayanagi had no qualms about teaming up with her.

“From the perspective of class's interests, I have no reason to refuse,” Yukino had no problems either, or to so say girl couldn't focus on properly what Sakayanagi just said.

'Should we say that she is sensible, or knows how to make trade-offs?' But, Sakayanagi is updating her evaluation of this schoolgirl.

“If you agree, then the matching is up to you. During lunch break tomorrow, our two classes will complete the task of forming a team. You decide the matching list. I can say that OAA data of my second-year class A is correct.”

'The OAA data for Class A in Grade 2 is correct, so does that an data for Grade 1 is false?' Yukino thought imdiately. 'It ans Sakayanagi-senpai wants to consider or ask to confirm the true academic ability of my classmates. That ans, I need to test it. That's why pairing ti will be moved to tomorrow's lunch break. This was sothing I had not considered carefully....'

At the sa ti, this was first ti that two classes had joined together.

The students in her own had all looked at data of Class 2-A and knew that compared with other classes, Class 2-A's panel is very beautiful.

Therefore, two classes combined have a high probability of getting first place in this exam.

At that ti, class evaluation scores of both will be 200

At the sa ti, how to match partners to achieve better results is also a point that needs attention.

It is also a test for them. If they don't do well, then in next cross-grade exam, Class A of Grade 2 may abandon them.

In fact, by doing this, she might beco a puppet, but since she has not yet fully adapted to this school, Yukino feels that so compromise is necessary. 'Especially, I can't be kicked out of Class A in the first month.....'

So, Yukino nodded and agreed, it's just she was actually a little curious and wanted to confirm, “I heard that second-year Class B used to be D, but then climbed up, and even stayed in Class A once. Can you tell the specific information?”

President Sakayanagi then glanced at Yukino seriously for the very first ti after entering her office. She was taking this very lightly at first, 'Is it because this junior girl is interested in school record created by Class B of 2nd grade, or is it because she t soone from Class B of 2nd grade sowhere and... wants to know the other person's information?'

Beech Shopping Center. Hachiman is still drinking coffee with Kiyotaka.

'Oh no, It should be said. I was still staring at this girl from Class A, Grade 1, who had applied for position. I was a little lost in thought....Because this schoolgirl with purple twin tails is probably not soone who admires the strong, but is actually a yandere.'

“.....” Ichika who was called scary, and people really wanted to get away from her, “Senpai is so rude!”

“I think you may have misunderstood, Kouhai. You made a mistake inviting us. First of all, my classmate Ayanokoji is very average in all aspects of his OAA data.”

Only just after saying this, Kiyotaka feels a little bit sad inside, but he ignored this unknown feeling.

“I never learned how to fight. So we probably can't participate in your boxing championship. Besides, you should have heard about Hosen's incident. Fighting is prohibited in school,” Hikigaya-kun politely declined this offer.

“Is that so? Then my thinking was not clear,” The schoolgirl with purple twin ponytails nodded in understanding, “I went to a junior high school with bad security. The people there were very good at fighting. That's why I wanted to see this school. There are so many students from various backgrounds. Maybe there will be so very good fighters here. But, I think my judgnt was correct. Hikigaya-senpai should have learned so judo or sothing....”

She looked at Kiyotaka who had a low lonely presence on the other side, seed to be very sad-looking, “This Ayanokoji-senpai must be very good at fighting!”

“…”

'Then you have strong insight,' Hachiman looked at the familiar schoolgirl who shalessly sat down on an empty spot.

“But now that I can't fight anymore, I don't have option of choosing who to team up with. So, Do you two seniors need to team up with ? My academic ability is A.”

“What is your na?” Hachiman took out his tablet and prepared to open the OA system to query the other party.

When twin-tailed schoolgirl was about to say her na, Hachiman found a request to form a team on his tablet.

[Yukino Yukinoshita from Class A, Grade 1, wants to join a team with you. Do you agree?]

[Agree/Reject]

“….” Hachiman clicked “Reject”

'Because, Yukinoshita is not ant to be used in this kind of place. Moreover, I clearly exchanged contact information with her yesterday, but I didn't ask her to team up with . At the sa ti, if it’s so easy to form a team, doesn’t that an you owe the other party a favor?'

Hachiman has seen Yukinoshita Yukino's OA data, and her academic ability is A.

[Your team application quota for today has been used up, please co back tomorrow.]

Student council.

The girl with long black hair looked at rejection notice on the tablet expressionlessly, “...I was rejected.” She said to President Sakayanagi beside her.

“....” Sakayanagi, “Yeah, I saw it.”

For so foolish reason, now she even felt a strange companionship with Yukino, after she was rejected directly on the spot, “It seems that Vice president has his own goal of forming a team.....”

Since it is a combination of Grade 2 Class A and Grade 1 Class A, but there are only 39 people in Sakayanagi's, so there will be one person vacant.

So, she arranged for Yukino to team up with Hikigaya Hachiman.

But unfortunately, politely declined.

“But there is one thing I think we shouldn't hide,” Putting down the tablet, Yukino said again.

“What?”

“In fact, I am not the most outstanding person in all aspects of Class A of first grade, and the most suitable person to be representative. I am just acting on her behalf.”

“What do you an?” This was the first ti Sakayanagi heard this statent. 'I checked OA data of Class A in Grade 1, and it looked pretty good on the data panel. But if we talk about excellence in so aspects, junior girl Yukinoshita in front of is doing well....So, is there anyone in her class who is hiding themselves?'

“There's a very powerful person in my class. That girl...She's a genius. Although I am a little unconvinced, she is very strong.”

Is it very strong? So how strong is it?

“Although her academic ability is only A, knowledge she knows should be enough to get 100 points in every subject. The reason I said that is because I saw her go to the library on her first day of school and borrow two books that only college students could understand. However, she didn't borrow them; just read them on the spot.”

That is to say, Sakayanagi began to collect information. 'This is a specially trained person. So... are you from White Room? If yes, then ordinary talents really cannot compare to her.'

“So, what's her na?”

“Ichika Amasawa, First-year Class A. But she's very independent, so it's hard to be sure whether she'll put our class first.....”

In other words, she is a very free person.
