Classroom Of The Elite 2nd Year - Full Volume
Chapter 2's
It is possible that by stimulating him like this, he will strive to the maximum and achieve better results in this exam.
"I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll work hard and get Sakura for myself!" Yamauchi excitedly said it.
"Yes Yamauchi, you can do it, if it's you, you'll make it" I pushed him.
"Oooooooohhhhh! I will definitely win this test!"
Somehow it felt like I managed to direct his anger in a different direction towards this exam. Maybe his anger towards me will return when the exam is over, but for now it seems like I can already avoid trouble. If there was one scary problem here, it must be the fact that Yamauchi would be overzealous and aim for that "target" head-on.
"I'll tell you this just in case but ..." I decided to tell him this for his own sake.
"What?" he asked me
"It's nothing, but if you find ‘target’ in your group, don't let another class beat you with a punch" I told him.
"Of course” But it would be better if Yamauchi did not find ‘target’. Leverage long-term profits to take advantage of short-term gains and all that.

The fact that only Class A is guaranteed by 'continuing education or working' after graduation, it is certainly difficult for other classes to work with them.
Class B and Class D hold hands to defeat Class C and Class A. That means instead, Class C and Class A can form alliances to defeat Class B and Class D. With that in mind, when all these classes were forced into one group, what would happen? It's almost like trapping carnivores and herbivores in one cage. There is no good way to make a group into such interdependence.
But, with pure chance, it is possible that such unity between classes will occur. As long as people have strong personalities like Hirata or Ichinose who lead. But it is still a difficult task.
Class A does not participate in the second discussion period. But since Class A was deliberately silent, it was also impossible for the other classes to have serious discussions and time slowly passed in silence. I began to observe how the students from each class reacted. Not that everyone had bad intentions, but most disciples looked after themselves in an attempt to stay on the safe side.
"So for now, since this is our second meeting, I think we should get down to his business as soon as possible because the number of meetings we have to gather like this is very limited" Ichinose once again took the initiative. As expected of Class B. The silent Hamaguchi and the other Class B disciples were the same. Always strive to start an alliance together without hesitation.
It's almost like I'm looking at Hirata. However, that does not mean that Hirata, Ichinose and his group will definitely emphasize the victory for Class B in this exam and since the other students are still on guard, heavy air is falling on us. Everyone became increasingly suspicious, increasingly wary. However, the three Class A students were free from all worries as they casually played their phones. There's no rule that says you can't contact other groups.
Rich is rich and poor is poor, nothing else but that. Class A can be weak because they dominate all competition. I imagine their defeat during the exam on the island will cause a change in their behavior but it looks like Katsuragi is trying to portray the 'quiet' image of her class to another class. Thinking about it carefully, this was indeed a very effective strategy.especially for someone working alone like me, I could not break through the walls that Class A had installed.
"I don't really think that we need a solution now, but I agree with the need to discuss. Class A might try to get away from all this, but I believe in the importance of finding my own 'target". Yukimura said as if in agreement with Ichinose. If the "target" is in another class, this is an opportunity that cannot be wasted or maybe this attitude is an attempt to disguise the fact that Yukimura is actually a "target"
"But can you really find them just by talking? I don't think so. 'Target' is hard to find or rather the exam itself is hard to do" Karuizawa spoke.
"I understand your concern, Karuizawa-san, but isn't this just a matter of point of view? The exam on the island and the current exam, this is meant to be a surprise for the student, don't you agree?"
"Surprise?" Karuizawa asked.
"If the sun rises then you can hand it to me, that's my forte. Mo-e-a-g-a-r-e !!!" Sotomura suddenly shouted. It seems like he's making a misunderstanding. It wasn't sunrise, they said surprise.
"Well .. yeah it's fun".
"That's exactly why we need to talk more comfortably, like a group of friends. You will only suffer if you wake yourself up in a shell like Machida-kun over there" Ichinose tried to convince Karuizawa.
Of course if you take it not as a 'test' but as a 'vacation' it will become easier to discuss among your group. It's just a matter of the corner of the field as Ichinose said. The more positive your thinking, the easier it will be to complete the exam. But after hearing what Ichinose said, Machida started laughing.
"You're free to do whatever you want, but you're very unlikely to find a 'target' like this. I don't know where ‘target’ is but if they haven't teamed up with their classmates yet, they will definitely make the decision to hide themselves in order to earn points and maybe 'target' actually in Class B. That can happen too. Can you really trust them?” Ask Machida. He said those words as if wanting to shake the hearts of the disciples gathered there.
"The same can also be said for you, Machida-kun" Ichinose told him.
"...of course" For a moment, Machida broke eye contact with Ichinose. More precisely, his eyes wandered to a disciple named "Morishige" who was sitting beside him. But then he quickly returned eye contact and once again exuded the image of Class A's 'quiet' to the group.
"We're not too fixated on who the target is, we get 100,000 points given to us every month, nobody in our class is interested in the 500,000 points prize for this exam"
"Really, so you told me you didn't want any extra points? Not that the school imposed a limit on the number of points you could get" he replied.
"That's stupid, you can hallucinate as you want, but don't accuse us of being that insignificant" Machida told him. Ichinose, who kept smiling at Machida throughout the argument, gave the impression of me as a formidable opponent.
Although Machida claims that she will not participate in the discussions, she is still lured by Ichinose to answer them. And as long as he spoke, information would definitely leak from him. Using Karuizawa and Yukimura to lure Machida, Ichinose continues to gather information from Class A all the time. I wonder if Machida has noticed?
Meanwhile, Karuizawa continues to sigh and play her phone. There is no rule that says a person should not use their phone during the exam discussion period, but it is bad behavior by doing so while the goal is to find a "target". Or is Karuizawa actually part of the CIA or the FBI and relaying information to Hirata via cell phone? If true, I would have respected him a lot, but I doubt that.
Of course Karuizawa never tried to do anything so this kind of action should look normal, but since the exam started, I noticed something was wrong with Karuizawa. Karuizawa acts differently, and reunites with Ibuki and his arguments to Manabe's group. And I realized something. None of his actions back then were 'ordinary' things from Karuizawa. In Class D, whether his reputation was good or not, there was no denying that he, along with Hirata, brought the class into one. Normally he would bring us together to be one to complete this exam, whether we had the capacity for it or not, but he never showed such signs.
Hirata is Hirata no matter where he is, and Kushida has always been Kushida. But Karuizawa has definitely changed. Or maybe he feels inferior to Manabe and his group who are above him in terms of the school-level system. What we need right now is for Class D to move up through the sequence not just by collecting more points. Compared to classes like A and B, Class D is still very lacking in compactness. Karuizawa Kei, someone will be indispensable for such compactness is the existence that controls the students of Class D.
That's my assessment at the moment. That's why I'm worried about him right now. I have to determine whether he will become a useful existence or a useless existence for me. I can't take my time on this given that the exam period itself is short. Depending on the situation, I might have to use force with him. As soon as 1 hour had passed, Class A left the room. It seemed like they intended to maintain their silent attitude until the end. Ichinose sighed and said
"alright... I think this is going to be a tough test. What about you, Ayanokouji-kun? Is this hard for you?" he asked me The person who called me that was so shocking was a student named Ichinose Honami. The girl who rules class B. He was always calm, smart and attractive. It seemed like he had noticed that I had not given any special opinion on the exam and called out to me.
If I happened to be in the same class as him, I would have already fallen in love with him. She's very charming. Not only Class B, but the boys from other classes must also have really fallen in love
to him. In the popularity rankings, the,
Ichinose and Kushida will be tough rivals.
"Honestly, I'm the type to just sit back and relax in a test like this" I told her.
"It's still too early to give up, let's work together to achieve in a positive direction!" Ichinose.
