Class 1-A, it's almost lunch break. Katsuragi left the classroom alone as usual. Since losing the battle for leadership, no one except Totsuka has dared to approach him.
Even so, Totsuka has been expelled from school now. Katsuragi was filled with hatred now that he is left with responsibility to become command tower. However, whether it was for the sake of the class or for Totsuka who left, he had to endure it and lead everyone to Class A.
This is your job as a leader. Although it was this sense of responsibility that caused him to lose to Sakayanagi as the leader, Katsuragi didn't think there was anything wrong with this. It was easy to guess that the person controlling the approval votes outside the first-year class was probably that guy Hikigaya. Although the other party probably just wanted to cause internal strife in Class A, or to prevent Sakayanagi's bad deed.
However, Katsuragi was still grateful. After all, he has indeed benefited from this. This opportunity to make a comeback is hard-won and must be grasped.
"Katsuragi-san," at this moment, Sakayanagi appeared behind Katsuragi with Kamuro Masumi.
Upon hearing her words, Katsuragi turned around and looked at Sakayanagi with a calm expression on his face, but he didn't take the initiative to speak anyway.
"Congratulations, Katsuragi-san," Sakayanagi held his cane with a gentle fake smile on his face,
"Thanks to the help of a kind person, Katsuragi-san got this hard-won opportunity. I only hope that you can continue to work hard for Class A and continue to make contributions."
Although it doesn't sound like anything wrong, coming from Sakayanagi's mouth, it is undoubtedly a threat. Think about it for your classmates in Class A and don't push it too far.
"Well, whatever you want me to do, it's up to you. You can also ask me to admit defeat," Katsuragi stared at Sakayanagi in front of him and spoke in a deep voice. "Anyway, I'll listen to you, okay?
"There's no need."
Sakayanagi couldn't help but grip her cane.
Katsuragi's strength is not weak, not to mention that the Katsuragi faction still has the upper hand when school starts, so it is really troublesome to continue to suppress them.
"I only have one request."
Sakayanagi's expression suddenly became cold. She took out a note from her pocket and handed it to Katsuragi. Her voice was ethereal but made people feel chilled:
"Consider 1V1 chess as the main event of Class A, I will be in charge of competing at that time."
This matter is not without its benefits.
She can appear in person as a contestant and defeat Ayanokouji's fake genius more directly.
Genius is determined by genes from birth.
No matter how rigorously Ayanokouji was trained in the white room, it was just a fake in the end.
This matter.
She had been preparing for the sports festival for a long time, and the group finally had the opportunity to compete with Ayanokouji.
There's no room for error!
Sakayanagi's words revealed an unquestionable tone.
Otherwise,
She will do whatever it takes to destroy this class.
"I remember."
Katsuragi glanced at the note and said calmly: "Sakayanagi, you seem to be very confident in chess?"
"That's right."
Katsuragi couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth slightly and said: "My grandfather has liked to teach me how to play shogi since I was a child. I am also very confident in my shogi level, and there should be many people in Class A who have their own specialties."
The implication.
Why should I make chess my main sport?
Does she really think that Katsuragi is her subordinate?
Stop threatening.
Remove her now if you can.
Otherwise,
Even if he dares to start internal strife in the class, the Sakayanagi faction can tear him apart without him taking action.
Class A no longer has the margin at the beginning of the school year.
Sakayanagi had no choice but to betray his classmate, but was kicked out of school by everyone in Class A.
However,
Katsuragi did not refuse, obviously he wants a guarantee.
Sakayanagi took a deep breath and naturally understood this, but she just felt that she had been feeling aggrieved recently:
"If I lose, the leader position of Class A will be yours!"
If you lose,
There is no point in her clinging to the position of leader.
"Um?"
Katsuragi was a little confused.
I didn't expect that Sakayanagi would actually make such a promise. Although it was just a verbal promise, this matter was obviously really important to Sakayanagi.
"Are you sure?"
"Of course."
Sakayanagi added with a calm expression:
"Otherwise, don't blame me for being cruel. Don't think that I care about trivial matters like Class A or dropping out of school."
Whether he dropped out of school, got promoted to A, or became a companion, Sakayanagi didn't care.
After hearing that words,
Katsuragi closed her eyes and fell silent. For some reason, Sakayanagi cared about this game very much, but it was obviously really important to her.
If Class A loses 30 class points, Sakayanagi will give up the fight for the leadership position, although it is just a verbal commitment.
"Okay."
Katsuragi looked calm and nodded: "Let's sign a contract. When the time comes, you will be fully responsible for chess and I will not interfere.
Although he hopes for Sakayanagi's loses.
There is no reason to refuse such a good thing. Sakayanagi obviously never thought she would lose, and she took out the contract she had prepared from her pocket without hesitation. There is nothing more important than the confrontation with her childhood sweetheart, Ayanokouji. Katsuragi's expression was calm, but he felt a little unhappy in his heart as he took the contract. He carefully read it several times before nodding to sign and putting the contract away.
Sakayanagi also had a good handle on him, knowing very well that he would not refuse such a good thing.
"Katsuragi-san, can you answer a question for me?" she asked.
Katsuragi was silent for a moment, then said: "What?"
"Do you expect me to win or lose?"
Katsuragi was silent for a moment, then said "I hope you can win."
"Caring too much about your companions is both your strength and your weakness. You don't really think you can be promoted to Class A this way, do you?"
"Naturally," Katsuragi crossed his arms across his chest without giving in, and said in a calm voice,
"If we need to abandon our companions to maintain our status as Class A, it only means that our strength is no more than this, and there is no need to continue to be attached to Class A."
"Well, I really hope everyone in Class A can have the same awareness as you..." Sakayanagi said, then turned around and left with Kamuro Masumi.
It's a pity. Not everyone is as upright and aware as Katsuragi. Even if you don't get promoted to Class A, you still have to protect your friends. This is why Katsuragi will never win. Looking at Sakayanagi's leaving figure, Katsuragi turned around and left without caring. There were some things that people like Sakayanagi would never understand.
"How's the check going?" Sakayanagi asked softly in the corridor. Although the most important thing now is the duel with Ayanokouji, she has not forgotten the person who voted for Katsuragi. If it weren't for this person, how did things become like this?
"I originally thought that the last time I went to Hikigaya, it was the first time in my life that I felt suffocated, but I didn't expect that this time I would feel even more suffocated," she said.
"Yes, I found it," Kamuro Masumi followed her casually and said,
"I heard Kushida from Class D say that Hikigaya asked her to buy praise vote, which was for Katsuragi. Although I don't know about Class C, it must be about the same."
"Hehehehe"
Sakayanagi couldn't help but laugh out loud. This time, Class B can pass the class voting exam in this way. Naturally, it surprised her.
This is obviously not something that a good girl like Ichinose can come up with. It must be that Hikigaya. She didn't expect it. It's this guy again!
Fine. Sakayanagi had to admire Hikigaya's courage. The idea of directly forcing the school to make concessions was indeed something she had never thought of.
Moreover, they actually took action to prepare for Class A's exam at the same time. It forced her into this dilemma. Unlike the fake genius Ayanokouji, Hikigaya is a real genius!
However.
There is also a gap between one genius and another!
Sakayanagi Arisu takes pleasure in outsmarting those who are considered geniuses, making them realize the real gap in their abilities.
"Kamuro-san,"
Sakayanagi Arisu said softly, "During this period, you should first train with Katsuragi and the others.
"And what about you?"
"I'm going to find that 'genius' and have some fun!"
Sakayanagi Arisu took the term 'genius' very seriously. She had been checked and thwarted by him so many times, and not retaliating properly was not her style.
"Are you going right now?"
"Of course."
"Do you want me to accompany you?"
"No."
Sakayanagi spoke softly and walked toward Class B with her hands clasped.
Originally, she wanted to wait until Ayanokouji was dealt with before having fun with Hikigaya, but she didn't expect that the other party would be so impatient.
Then she wouldn't hold back.
Looking at Sakayanagi's petite back, Kamuro Masumi helplessly shook his head. It was obvious that Sakayanagi was really angry this time.
Or perhaps,
it was Hikigaya who had piqued her interest.
Not only did they pass the exam in this way, but they also forced Class A into a deadlock.
Kamuro Masumi was truly impressed.
It's a pity.
Sakayanagi is not an easy character to get along with.
Do you think Hikigaya can sit back and relax by letting Class A continue to fight among themselves?
He couldn't be more wrong!
