Now reading: Chapter 43 from COTE: A Man On A Mission || Love is War?, a Action novel by Kiyotaka1620.

The next day, Morning.

The first class was chemistry, and the teacher was a man wearing glasses who looked introverted.

It’s just that no matter what the teacher is, their lectures are all the sa—

The sa boring tone from beginning to end, without any ups and downs in emotions, and they all just follow the instructions.

It reminds Hachiman of a subject nad History of Magic, which was taught by a ghost nad Dustbin.

Once the bell rang, students left the class without any hesitation. It’s the sa as in the previous code of conduct assessnt.

Even though it's clear that the midterm exam was about to begin, the teachers didn't even explain what content needed to be mastered to draw the key points, etc.

Therefore, the task given to his assistant, Kushida for contacting upperclassn beca even more important. There must be so kind of shortcut to save these people.

Otherwise.....yeah, Hachiman would be forced to put white flowers on most of the desks around here.

Only. As a human observer, he also discovered a place that was different from usual.

That's when he noticed that Karuizawa sitting in front always turned around and looked in his direction from ti to ti. Her location is not too close, it is in the third row of the fourth column.

And Hachiman is the last one on the window side.

Therefore, although Karuizawa may feel that her naughty actions are relatively secretive, the range of movents is actually very large.

Deliberately move the chair back, fully lean on it and sit sideways, then turn her head slightly.

Although she pretended to be staring at the scenery outside the window in a daze, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was staring at Hachiman.

Well, of course, there are not many discerning people.

After all, those who study hard are in the first two rows, and everyone else is minding their own business, so naturally they won't notice Karuizawa's abnormal behaviour.

Only. This phenonon just appeared after yesterday's water incident.

So, when Hachiman felt like he was being stared at by that blondie, he had to get serious again.

However, he also knew the reason why she looked at him so nervously. Because he fooled Karuizawa into exposing her dark secrets, especially that scar.

And this is a very important thing for her. If it is exposed, the circle of girls she has ford will probably collapse imdiately.

So, her place to stay will be gone all of a sudden. But Hachiman also promised that the other party that he would not leak it.

However, before he snitched, Karuizawa, you yourself leaked it first to a very annoying person.

Because. When the first class was over, he received a ssage.

[What happened between you and Karuizawa-san] by Kushida.

Um. Although there is no code of conduct test now, Kushida-san, can you please take the class seriously and stop stalking other people?!

'It'll seriously creep out! It's my job to observe people' So, to get this very curious person to mind her own business.

"Don't look back in the class, and just play with your phone if it's getting too boring," Hachiman edited the text ssage and sent it to Karuizawa. He directly told her to start violating her phone instead.

___________

Last night, the two of them added each other as friends in order to keep in touch. So now it's possible to send ssages directly.

Karuizawa was chatting with the girls during recess. Her phone is on the table.

"Buzz~" The sudden vibration of the phone startled her and she almost stood up.

It wasn't until she opened her phone and saw the ssage from Hachiman that she breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she turned hed head vaguely towards the back of the class and nodded her head slightly.

Then, sure enough, Karuizawa didn't continue to look at him until the next class or even the fourth class.

Um. It seems the execution power is too strong. Very good at following orders, just like Sakura who tried to say good morning to a blue-haired girl after entering the class today.

"..." Hachiman. It was obvious that he had been stared at during the first class, but now that Karuizawa stopped looking at him, he felt a sense of loss.

So, in this way, he experienced both the joy and sadness of being stalked by a pretty girl in his class.

______

It’s ti for lunch break.

Normally, you have to eat during this free ti, but the student council of this school is different.

Hachiman has gone there several tis and found that even if it is break ti, the president will always be there.

Rather, the other party is very busy.

As the president, you have a lot of authority, but... you also have a lot of corresponding responsibilities.

Very hard. However, during the lunch break, he did not go directly to the student council with Karuizawa.

Instead, he waited alone under the stairs for a while, and then she trotted over with her gaze wondering around as if making sure she wasn't being watched.

But it’s not that the other party is playing a big role.

Hachiman was just curious about the order he gave to Karuizawa after class, and she was actually able to comply with it.

Results now. She really did co over in 5 minutes as promised. Her execution ability is just outstanding, Hachiman felt that the other's party blood must have been tempered with the genes of a dog.

But it doesn't an, Karuizawa has so kind of hidden super powers. Acc, to Hachiman, this kind of aweso thing only happens in the category of science fiction.

Even though Horikita dissed so many complaints about Karuizawa's academic ability and that she was also a complete scumbag, without any sports talent and so on.

'But now, isn’t her ability to follow his orders to extres a very good thing?!' Hachiman thought about his good luck as he watched Karuizawa arrive.

"Let's go to the student council. I will introduce you to the president.” Hachiman said with a small smile, on his face. It even sounds nice while saying this, introducing other people to a big shot.

"Hai...Arigatou." Karuizawa said, while her body was fidgeting awkwardly, “But why would the student council president give you the position directly? Could it be ne...ahem you are acquaintances?" She stopped herself from using the word 'nepotism', because it sounds rude, doesn't it?

It's like doubting the other party, so Karuizawa pretended to clear her throat at that mont. 'There's no need to offend Hikigaya-kun, who's offering a free job in the student council.'

"You also know about the student council?" Hachiman looked over in surprise, unaware about her sudden change of emotions towards him.

"Of course, I do. Because girls also discuss the student council matters. For example, if the current president is very cold.... does he have a sullen personality and other stuff like that?" Karuizawa crossed her arms, in annoyance as if she found herself being insulted by his surprised look.

'I don't live under a rock, so of course I know about the student council!' Her eyes seed to be conveying this ssage to Hachiman.

Okay. You girls are not discussing the sa thing at all.

"He promised a position before but I want to transfer it to soone else, and since it's not , the value of the position has dropped." Hachiman then decided to explain his own circumstances.

There is obviously a difference between a secretary and a disciplinary committee mber. It's just a fishing position, not that important like in that novel of Magical high school.

______

The two ca to the student council together. It was empty, but the president Horikita Manabu was working alone.

It's really hard work.

Horikita looked at Hachiman, and then glanced at the girl, with a single ponytail behind him.

"Hmm!" Karuizawa seed surprised.

She was probably intimidated by the president's calculating gaze, it seems like a judgent.

So, Hachiman explained the reason why he brought Karuizawa here, which was to fulfill the position ntioned in the Horikita University.

But. "So." Manabu pushed up his glasses and looked at the boy with rotten eyes, "Have you decided?"

"Yeah" Hachiman nodded, not caring about his searching gaze at all, he said while bowing his head "Arigatou gozaimas, for your support, but I feel that I am not qualified for such an important position, so please transfer this job to my minion, Karuizawa who is behind ."

"Haha..." The president seed to smile at this statent.

“....minion” A small voice was heard but both of them ignored it. Because, Manabu feels like he's having a headache. He would grant Hachiman the position in the Student Council, on the one hand, being recognised for his abilities.

And the other side. He also has so intentions of his own. Manabu is already a third-year student and will soon step down from his position as president.

However, if there is no intervention, then the next student council president may be Vice President Nagumo.

Horikita University recognized Nagumo, but did not agree with so of his revolutionary ideas.

For example, this is a school where strength cos first. Manabu supports the school's class competition thod, but that slut called Vice President is more extre.

He directly feels that the strong people must gain more benefits, and small fries like Airi must be wiped out. In this way, he wants to change the class competition to an individual model.

And once he retires, there is a high probability that Nagumo will take office, and use it to spy on the girls wearing swimsuits from outside the window.

His own thod of relieving stress. Wants to recruit beautiful girls in the student council, make his own harem.

So, even if the hope is relatively small, Manabu still hopes to have a solution that can be cracked.

That's why I considered recruiting Hikigaya to the student council. Only to be rejected.

But now.

"If you still want to keep this position even if you don't co, it's a bad exchange for you,” Manabu still wanted to fight to the bitter end, making him realise how a great opportunity was being wasted.

But Hachiman didn't even change his expression, so he couldn't help but rub his forehead. 'Why are these people always rejecting ?' First Kiryuin and now him.... It's really hard work!

“Since the position has been transferred to Karuizawa? From today on, you will be a mber of the student council, and your position will be the Discipline Committee mber."

“Ah... yes." Karuizawa, who was busy thinking about the President's hateful remarks of this job being a waste of ti, replied hurriedly.

She was now appointed as the Miscellaneous fish of this shitty departnt of the Discipline committee.

__________

In this way.

Arrangents for Karuizawa to join the student council were completed and the two ca out together.

"Although it's just an inconspicuous position." When Hachiman realised that this girl was lost in thought, while looking at him with a weird look, he imdiately started talking about the sweet benefits of this job, "And don't have to do a single thing....But you can still get the honor of being the only student council mber among the first years."

“In other words, As long as you show your identity, Manabe and the others will stay away from you...” He again looked at her face, her eyes seed to have beco much softer than before.

This thod is indeed working, so Hachiman continued fooling Karuizawa into thinking that this shitty job of fishing is the best thing that could have ever happened to her,

"They are students in Ryuen's class, and by this ti he already understands the school rules very well. So, there's no need to worry about the President being rude and talking nonsense....His standards are just too high, but it's indeed a very good thing like I explained earlier....so, you should be grateful.”

Indeed, Hachiman hoped that this girl would take his words seriously, so he also didn't make any joking statents and said with the best serious expression he could muster.

"I understand." Facing Hachiman's mouth full of lies and poison, Karuizawa can only nod her head gently, very grateful. Then she also seed a little embarrassed, as if suddenly rembering sothing "Um...thank you."

"..." Hachiman. He never knew this special skill of deceiving small people will ever co in handy one day.

"I also have my own goals about being promoted to Class A, so I need soone to help."

"Ah... well, this." However, Karuizawa also understood. So students in the class do have problems. Then being promoted to Class A with such strength is a bit stressful.

Rather say. Her current appearance is all disguised, but the real her has probably been observing others.

Then it beca clear that so students in this class seed to be excellent, but there were also so... who were just....better to be discarded before they started polluting other people, which was unprecedented in the past.

"So, you don't have to fake relationships with others to gain influence.”

"Just being the only one in the first grade who was accepted by the President, Horikita Manabu is already enough of a deterrent," Hachiman then even threw the na of his deskmate's brother in his sche.

"Even though you're still an idiot, being a big bad girl of the Discipline would be enough to break so people's headlights.....” He then even tried to pat the other's party back, to make it look even more professional.

"Hey!" But Karuizawa shouted lightly, and hit her opponent's head with a small Karate-chop.

“Ow! What the- ” Hachiman groaned in pain, but it was very clear to her eyes that he was just pretending to be injured.

“Don't think I have forgotten about the fact that you called your minion earlier?! She said in anger, her eyebrows slightly frowned, but he thought she looked quite cute.

“I don't know what you're talking about?”

“Do you really want to be beaten up?!”

“...I'm sorry”

“You should be, besides that issue of being in a.... relationship”

"Yes, Hirata told about this," 'It was more like dropping his own problems on my head.' But Hachiman didn't say it out loud, "You want to fake a relationship with him to gain his influence, and get a strong foothold among the girls in our class, right?"

"No." But Karuizawa surprisingly shook her head at his statent, "I didn't say anything like that to

him...I just revealed that I was bullied before and wanted to seek help. Then he said that he would find a way." She was also hearing this statent for the first ti herself.

Karuizawa was planning on doing sothing like this, but she didn't implent it yet.

Eh? Hachiman's eyes widened in utter shock. Because.

Is that so? Hirata’s mother!

'So, that bastard said those things on purpose and hoped that I would help Karuizawa, right?!' Hachiman realised that he was being emotionally manipulated by that son of a bitch.

____________

School was over that afternoon.

"Katsuragi-san, there is a new announcent on the bulletin board."

Here in Class A of the first grade, their last class in the afternoon is chemistry, and Katsuragi is still sitting in his seat.

But most of the students in Class A have already left the classroom. So went to the cafeteria, and of course club activities.

As a student in Class A, they are simply a role model among students. We all love learning, join the club to get extra points, and of course, want to maintain their position.

Very greedy. But if you ask Kamuro-san regarding this matter, she would definitely kick your nuts with a disgusted expression. 'Kiss my ass already! Who the hell loves learning?!'

So, don't say anything about being a top academic in front of Kamuro-san, if you want to have children in the future!

This way, the students began to actively collect various kinds of intelligence.

Of course, as a student in Class A, there are also so problems, that is, Katsuragi feels that the conflicts between students from the two parties have increased.

It's like the seats in the class have been spaced apart, and a white line has been drawn on the floor with a permanent marker.

It was divided into Katsuragi's kindergarten and the Sakayanagi Institute. And this is not a good thing.

But at this ti, his supporter Totsuka Yahiko trotted over and reported the news.

"Is this about the student council again?" Katsuragi asked, with his eyes full of hope. 'Did the president finally change his mind? Am I being appointed?!'

The student council of this school has considerable authority. It is said that as the student council president, you can even have a certain decision making power in the special examinations every month.

And isn't this terrible? If you encounter an unfairly biased scum who wants to deliberately target Class A, then the pressure load of his classmates will explode in an instant.

Of course, the chances of this happening is similar to growing so pitiful amount of hair on Katsuragi's head.

If soone has ulterior motives, they will not be able to climb to the position of student council president.

Only. The announcent of the student council list.

"It seems that a new mber has been added, and the other person is a first-year student.” Totsuka Yahiko said excitedly, looking at his bald head slightly in awe, "So is it possible that, Katsuragi-san, have finally made his grand entry in the student council?!"

"About that..." Even though Katsuragi wanted to think that the President may have finally opened his eyes. But this kind of thinking is just superficial, and he didn't want to be disappointed.

Only, Katsuragi didn't have the heart

to persuade Yahiko because his previous application for the student council was already torn by the president.

And Yahiko also knows this.

But I'm afraid even after seeing that, Yahiko felt that maybe there's still so hope, and he also had a fanatical admiration for him.

And this feeling makes him pretty excited inside, so Katsuragi didn't try to stop him and savoured this new kind of ejaculation technique.

And this ti. A student from Class A spoke. "Isn't this interesting? Katsuragi was directly rejected by the student council twice, but soone else got accepted." The other party said.

This person has beautiful yellow hair, is tall and thin, but most importantly a snake-like personality, who wants to bury his eggs inside every main character's mouth.

Masayoshi Hashimoto.

"Hashimoto!" But Totsuka Yahiko imdiately glared at him, with an intensity of murder.

Because Hashimoto was the first person to join this kindergarten earlier, but after it was discovered that he had also applied his na in the Sakayanagi Institute.

And so ti later, he directly transferred his na, not wanting to play with these small children, and get advanced education.

Yahiko understood imdiately. This blonde piece of shit, is a traitor to their kindergarten! And now, he must be deliberately causing trouble for Katsuragi-san.

Felony! Must be purged.

"I didn't say anything wrong," Hashimoto didn't care about his outbursts, as if already familiar with this kind of behaviour, and said cooly, "I just received the ssage that the new council mber is a student from first-year Class C."

“First-year Class C...the original Class D, those defective products." Yahiko frowned, finding this statent absurd, "That class was terrible, but because of Ryuen's own failure, they took advantage."

"Yahiko, don't say things like that openly!" But Katsuragi decided to interrupt him, at this point.

Because on the one hand, speaking ill of others is not the behavior of an outstanding Class A student. At the sa ti, he also thought deeply.

That is, I received news that Sakayanagi Arisu often eats with a boy from Class C.

The opponent is Hikigaya Hachiman.

Um. Katsuragi already rembered this na. This boy was a delinquent who broke the school's cara, and then went to the student council for consulting about the repercussions.

But this student was not only noticed by Sakayanagi, but even the student council president extended his olive branch to him.

So. Was the failure of Ryuen's previous attack on Class D because of this guy nad, Hikigaya?

"Sakayanagi, is this why you're paying attention to Hikigaya?" Katsuragi now finally decided, that he couldn't gain any new information, so asked the best person who may know about this.

Because there is now a new mber inside the student council, which ans that Hikigaya finally chose to join.

"What do you think?" But Sakayanagi, who was also still in the class, decided to send the pot back with a cute smile.

'Gather your own information! Why would I tell you about Hikigaya-gun without a single benefit to myself?! Indeed, Sakayanagi was obviously the one who was paying for Hachiman's lunch from her own pocket.

There's no need to tell, Katsuragi-kun.

"The announcent says that the new mber of the student council is a person nad Karuizawa Kei from Class C of the first grade." A student had already gone to the bulletin board. He said such an outrageous thing, that imdiately blew Katsuragi's mind away.

"..." Katsuragi. Eh.

In other words, Hikigaya really turned down the invitation for the position of secretary offered by the student council president.

Instead, he would recomnd other people in his class to join, but that would only be assigned to the disciplinary committee.

So, he can't understand it. Because compared to the disciplinary committee mber who is like a bastard, the position of secretary is more profitable.

'Does this guy have no brain? Is there sothing wrong with him?!'

"Haha——" But Sakayanagi just gave a small chuckle, after hearing this news. She held her cane and stood up, then glanced at Kamuro-san.

"..." Kamuro-san.

Right. She then went to pick up Sakayanagi's schoolbag with her, in this way she was carrying two people's load.

Now that she has been serving Sakayanagi for a month, Kamuro probably understands what the other party wants to do.

This girl probably thought that the na Karuizawa Kei is unfamiliar, so she decided to investigate this matter herself.

But, Kamuro-san also had second thoughts about her suddenly taking initiative, and this kind of thoughts cannot be leaked to other people at any cost.

What a troubleso call-maker.
