Classroom Of The Elite 2nd Year - Full Volume
Vol 1 Chapter 8 Part 2

A minute later than we promised, we all met in the library.

Everyone is ready to take notes and wait to get started.

There are also many other students currently studying in the library. From the first year to the third year, everyone strives to learn. I can see with a glance.

"You're late."

"Sorry, we're a little late because it's crowded."

"Are you two eating together !?"

Ike asked us, feeling suspicious since we were both together.

We did eat together, but I don't think we should say anything at all

here's.

"Yes, we had lunch together."

Like I said, you don't have to say it... With no expression

satisfied, Ike glared at me. It was as if he saw me as his rival. Without

looking at me, Horikita continued to talk.

"Hurry over."

"…good." I quietly sat down and took out my notes.

"I thought I'd need more help, but geography is very

easy."

"Chemistry is also easier than I thought."

Ike and Yamauchi spoke up.

"That's because there's a lot of rote trouble. Subjects like Math or English have questions you can't answer if you don't have a basis."

"Don't let your guard down, there might be an incident this time in this test."

"Genesis....today?"

"Current events, political or economic events that may occur in

the last few years. In other words, there may be questions that include

material not in the textbook."

"Ugh, that's a dirty game! Doesn't that render the scope of the exam useless!?"

"That's why you have to learn everything."

"I suddenly hated geography ..."

Of course, the question of current events might come up in the exam, but I think

that's something we can ignore now.

If you're too worried about things you might not be testing, you

I'm going to lose those important parts.

"Don't we start as soon as we can?"

As the conversation continued to go on endlessly, precious time was wasted.

"Yes, we are currently lagging behind because some people are already

too late."

"... Are you still having that problem?"

"It's a problem for everyone. Who is the one who comes with a thought

inductive?"

"Um .. That's the guy we learned last class, right? Uh ..."

While thinking about his answer, Ike turned the questioner around.

"Oh, that's the guy. His name makes me very hungry, so I remember."

"Francis Xavier .. or something like that right?"

Sudou could not recall the correct name.

"I remember, it was Francis Bacon!"

"true."

"Yes, this is definitely the perfect score!"

"No, not at all…"

If we continue this move for the next week, desperately studying, everyone will probably graduate.

"Everyone, take care of your health. We don't have much time to

study."

Kushida also understands that there is almost no room for error this time around.

"It's okay, it's okay if all three."

"As expected of Horikita-chan, it feels like you trust us!"

I think he's trying to say that "Idiots don't get the flu", but whatever.

"Hey, stay there, the bullshit's too loud."

A nearby student stopped studying and looked at us.

"Sorry, sorry, I'm too noisy. I am happy because I got the right answer. The one who proposes inductive thinking is Francis Bacon, you know? I won't forget it since I learned it once~"

Ike said while laughing happily.

"Well? ... By the way, are you guys in Class D?"

A group of boys nearby all looked at us at once. Moments

their reaction, Sudou was angered by the aggravation.

"Why indeed? What if we were in Class D. Do you have any

trouble with that?"

"No, we don't have a problem with that, I'm Yamawaki, in class C. Pleasantly

meet you.”

Yamawaki looked at us while laughing.

"Well, how should I say it. I think it's good that this school divides classes with abilities. That way I don't have to study with people like you."

"What!?" The one who exploded in anger was, obviously, Sudou.

"you're just angry at the truth. If we fight inside the school, I wonder which class points will be deducted. Oh wait, you don't have any points to begin with. That thing, you might get kicked out, you know? "

"You want to fight? Bring that!"

Sudou's explosion caught the attention of others in the quiet library.

If this situation gets worse, the teacher will probably find out.

"He's right if you make a distraction, we don't know what's going to happen. You should remember that getting kicked out is really possible and I don't mind that you insulted us, but you're in C class, right? This is not a class you should be proud of. "

"It looks like there's some kind of miscalculation between classes A to C. But

you're on a different level."

"Good way to say it, as I see it, every class but

class A just got together."

Yamawaki stopped laughing and glared at Horikita.

"For an inferior product that doesn't have a single point, you say some naughty things. Do you think you can say anything just because you look cute?"

"Thank you for your words that have no logical connection to this topic. I was never aware of my appearance until now, but I feel uncomfortable being praised by you."

"Tsu!"

Climbing the table, Yamawaki stood up.

"H-hey, it's dangerous for you to start because someone else will hear it."

The other C class students tried to hold Yamawaki back, tugging at the arm

his shirt.

"For the next test, if you get a failed sign, you know you have to drop out, right? I can't wait to see how many people will drop out of your group."

"It's a shame, but no one's going to get out of class D. Before worrying about us, why don't you worry about yourself first? If you're not careful, you might fail, you know?"

"Failed nails? Stop joking."

"We don't learn so we can avoid the sign of failure. We learn to

getting better grades. Don't join us inside! Also

feeling happy knowing Francis Bacon is; are you sane? Why are you learning things that aren't even tested? "

"Huh?"

"After all, don't you even know what will be discussed in this exam? This is why you are an inferior class."

"enough." Sudou lost his temper and grabbed Yamawaki from his collar.

"Hey hey, are you really going to use violence? Your points will be reduced.

Aren't you in trouble with that?"

"We don't even have any points to lose ~!"

With the blond woman's fair words, Sudou let go of Yamawaki.

"And you guys, didn't you provoke him too much? If this continues, what

you think it'll be okay if the school gets any news about this?"

"Pardon me, we didn't mean to do that, Ichinose" Ichinose. I remember hearing that name before.

Oh, it was a class B student who was talking to Hoshinomiya-sensei.

"Hey, let's move. If we study here, we'll be fools too."

"Y-yes." Yamawaki and his friends left the area.

"If you keep studying here, just keep quiet."

With those words, I gave a small nod, feeling amazed at his valiant gaze.

"Unlike Horikita, she's still defending this place, yeah."

"I'm not trying to create a distraction, I'm just telling the truth."

Telling the truth causes disruption, though...

"Hey... The guy said that this wasn't on the test, right?"

"… What does this mean?"

We glanced at each other.

The material that Chiyabashira-sensei will study is Age of Exploration.

We all made sure to write it down.

"Doesn't this mean each class gets a different exam?"

"That's impossible.the test should be the same for everyone in the class."

As Horikita said, all the problems in the test should be the same for five

main subjects. Otherwise, the effect of our value on points becomes unclear.

After all, does Class C inform any changes to the exam before anyone else?

Or D class is the only one not notified... From the unexpected new information, we cannot help but be confused.

What if different topics were tested in the history section of the exam between classes?

...Had its history been any different, it would have been very strange.

But if the whole test was different ...

This whole week of learning will be a waste.

Ten minutes before lunch is over. All members of the study group

pack up and head to the staff room.

Anyway, we can't continue

until we make sure that we know what is covered in this exam.

"Sensei, we have something we want to confirm as soon as possible"

"it was rather enchanting, all the other teachers were shocked."

"Sorry to disturb."

"It's okay, but we're in the middle of something. Stay calm”

He continued to write in his notebook, continuing his work.

"Last week, when you told us what was covered in this exam, did you make a mistake? Just a moment ago, the students of C class told us that their tests were different."

Without furrowing his brows, Chiyabashira-sensei listened to Horikita. Then Sensei, who was listening silently, suddenly stopped moving his pen.

"... The topics covered in the exam were changed last Friday. Sorry, I forgot to tell you."

"What-what!?"

After writing down the new scope of the test on a piece of paper, he tore through the page and handed it to Horikita. The pages of the textbook on paper were all materials that we had discussed, and Sudou and the others did not learn them.

"Horikita, thank you, I noticed my mistake, thanks also to

all of you, see you later."

"Wait a minute, Sae-chan-sensei!" Isn't it too late? "

"No, I don't think so, if they study next week, everything will be fine

just, right?"

Without a second thought. Chiyabashira-sensei is trying to get us out of space

staff. But no one moved.

"Even if you refuse to leave, nothing will change. You understand that, right?"

"…Let's go."

"But Horikita-chan! I can't agree with this!"

"As Sensei said, staying here is a waste of time. We're just getting started

study and study the revised material."

"But still!"

Turning around, Horikita left the room. Sudou, Ike, and Yamauchi all

follow, though reluctantly. Chiyabashira-sensei did not even glance at us when we

go awayl.

He did not even say sorry for his mistake. Most importantly, I

thought another teacher must have said something after that.

Although it was a serious mistake for a homeroom teacher, none

response from others.

My eyes then met with Hoshinomiya-sensei for a moment. With a small smile, he waved at me.

Well, I guess that's the response. However, I don't think that he just

"forget" told us about the exam.Walking down the hallway, the bell for afternoon classes rang.

"Kushida-san, I'm asking you for help."

"Hmm? What's up?"

"I want you to tell the rest of Class D about the changes to the exam." With that, Sensei handed Kushida a piece of paper.

"I don't have a problem with that, but .. Can I do that?"

"You're the best person to ask here, nor is it possible to take the test without knowing what the problem is."

"Alright I'll tell everyone about the change."

"Tomorrow, I'll make sure to revise our study plan as well."

Although Horikita pretended to be calm, I knew she felt a little anxious.

The weirdness of us studying the last few days is now nonexistent

what good.

Also, we only have about a week left until the exam. However, his biggest concern is the motivation of Sudou, Ike and Yamauchi.

"Horikita, I know it's gonna be hard, but I'm gonna rely on you."

Sudou bowed to Horikita.

"I will, from tomorrow, take a break from club activities for a week. What is

that work?"

"... that's..."

Given that we only have a week left, this is a decision

which makes a lot of sense. Although it was the best thing he could ask for, Horikita could not immediately accept it.

"Is that really no problem? It's gonna be tough, you know?"

"Learning is hard, isn't it?"

With a wide grin, Sudou patted Horikita on the shoulder.

"Sudou, are you serious?"

"Yes, I'm really upset right now, both in our homeroom teacher and the C grade kids."

I think you can call it a blessing in disguise. Because of that situation

this difficult, Sudou began to give learning opportunities.

he won't graduate if he doesn't try harder. Sudou's new motivation seems to be

have made something in Ike and Yamauchi.

"No way, I guess we'll try harder too."

"Alright, if you've prepared yourself for it, then please cooperate with me, but Sudou-kun-"

Horikita brushed off Sudou's hand from his shoulder.

"Don't touch me. If you do it again, I won't show you twelve

pity."

"... You're not cute, woman..."

"We'll do well!"

"Me too!" Kushida, also feeling motivated, stuck it out first.

"Ayanokouji-kun, you too!"

"Huh? No, I'll-"

"with various things .. what are you.

surrender?"

"... I'm thinking about it..."

"You promised to work with me? Did you forget?"

Horikita looked at me after hearing me.

"I'm not good at teaching, good and bad people in some ways, am I?"

To be honest, in terms of teaching others, Horikita and Kushida are better than me.

I am also not someone who likes to teach.

"No, your test scores aren't that good, are they?"

"There's no time, so I think it's better for Horikita and Kushida to teach together, than to do one-on-one sessions separately. Also, there's something I'm worried about."

"Worry about what?"

The events that had just happened in the staff room were too serious to forget.

At lunch, I got out of my seat with a purpose in mind. Then

I'm heading to the cafeteria.

"Where are you going?"

After seeing me rush out of class, Kushida followed. Stop in front of me, please,

he leaned over and looked at me.

"Because of lunch, I thought I'd go to the cafeteria."

"Fuun, is it okay if I come with you?"

"It's okay, but you have a lot of other people you can ask, too, you

know."

"Although I have many friends that I can eat with, you have no one, and you usually talk to Horikita-san first, you didn't say anything today. Didn't you say yesterday that you were worried about something in the staff room? Whatisit? "

As usual, Kushida listened to the surroundings; or rather, observed

surrounding him.

Honestly, I thought it would be annoying if someone was always like this, but I thought it was okay if it was Kushida.

I just know

the secret was by chance I wouldn't do anything bad.

"I can tell you, but will you promise not to tell me

someone else?"

"Keeping secrets is a strong point for me!"

We walked to the cafeteria. Shortly after, we entered the crowd

cafeteria and get to the meal ticket machine. After buying tickets for two people,

I moved out of the ticket vending machine and didn't line up at the counter. From there, I looked at the fingertips of the students who were buying their food.

"What's that?"

Kushida looked at me curiously.

"There is a possibility that this will result in an answer to what I am

worry about."

I saw all the students who were buying lunch. After about 20

student, I found my target student. The student bought the food and walked

to the table with heavy steps.

"All right, let's go."

"What?” Quickly swapping our tickets for a meal, I approached the student and

sit.

"Please, excuse me, you.. senpai right?"

"... Huh huh? Who're you?" Secretly looking, he looked at me, uninterested.

"Are you a second year? Third year?"

"Third year, you're first year, yeah."

"I'm Ayanakouji-kun from Class D. Senpai, you're also in D class, aren't you?"

"What does this have to do with you?"

Kushida looked at me in wonder, asking,

"How did you know?"

"Because he's limited to eating free food, it doesn't taste good, does it?"

Senpai is eating a free plant-based diet.

"What, makes me feel upset."

He tried to get up with his efforts, but I stopped him.

"There's something I want to ask, if you listen to me, I'll show you

my gratitude."

"…Thank you?"

My little voice is gone because of the crowd of the cafeteria.

The nearby students were also engrossed in their conversation with friends

them.

"Did you still have a problem in the middle of your first semester?

Or if you knew someone who had all the test problems before,

can you tell us who he is?"

"Hey, do you understand what you're saying?"

"Nothing comes as a surprise, I don't think it's against school policy to use old test problems to learn."

"Why are you asking me?"

"It was easy, I think it would be easier to cut a deal with someone without points. To be honest, free vegetable food is not so good. Of course, it makes a difference if you really like to eat that food. What are you gonna say? "

"…How much?"

"10,000 points, as far as I can give."

"I don't have a problem, but... I know someone who can do it. If you want to ask him to help, you need at least 30,000 points."

"30,000 is too much, I don't have that kind of money."

"How much do you have?"

"... 20,000 points."

“So, 20,000 points... No, 15,000 points will do. No less."

"15,000 points, yes ..."

"If you want to ask a stranger about past problems, you must

very desperate. After all, the school expelled all those who failed, I

I've lost a lot of my friends."

"I understand... All right, I'll pay 15,000 points."

"Then, good deal. Of course, you have to pay first."

"i don't mind, but if you renege on your words, I won't forgive you, I'll make sure you get kicked out."

"... All right, I don't want any bad records. If rumors arise that I'm blackmailing a kouhai, I probably won't be forgiven."

"Now, senpai, since I will pay 15,000 points, can you

give me the facility? I want to see the answer to that mock test."

"Alright, I'll include it. Well, I think whatever you're trying to do

it'll be useful, that's for sure."

Senpai seemed to understand what I was thinking.

"Thank you."

Senpai quickly left his chair. I don't think he wants to be the center of attention.

"H-hey, Ayanokouji-kun.. What is it... doesn't matter?"

"No problem at all. Point transfers are allowed by school rules, so there's no violation."

"Not a problem, but isn't it dishonest to get the last year?"

"Don't be honest, I don't think so if the school doesn't allow it, there's got to be

the rules are there, I also confirmed something else when I just spoke

with senpai the third year. This kind of transaction is not strange. "

"Huh…?"

"She wasn't too surprised, and she quickly

agreeing to listen to what I said, maybe this isn't her first negotiation, she not only got the answer to the midterms, but even a mock test, there's no harm."

His eyes were amazed.

"Ayanokouji-kun, you're completely different, I'm surprised."

"It's just an assumption to make sure that Sudou and the others are not expelled."

"But this may turn out to be pointless. The last question is the question of the past, right? This year's test may have absolutely nothing to do."

"The problem may not be exactly the same, but there will definitely be some similarities.

The last mock exam gave me that clue."

"Hint?"

“You see that there is a very difficult problem and an easy one, right?"

"Yes, yes, it is the last issue of each section. I'm not at all

understand that question."

"When I looked into it afterwards, it was a problem learned in

second and third year. In other words, they weren't expecting years

first to solve the problem. Isn't it useless

throw away those kinds of problems that cannot be solved? Possibly

for reasons other than to really test us. If the problem on the mock exam was exactly the same as the previous mock exam, what would happen? "

"... If I see that problem, I'll be able to test the results."

The same goes for the middle semester.

Soon after, I got a message from a third-year senpai with a

appendixes. That's an old test.

First, I checked the mock test. The main question is, whether three

the last problem is the same?

Kushida also tried to look at my phone.

"What them? Are they the same?"

"It's completely identical, the problem, the sentence, and all the words are the same."

"That's awesome! If we show this to everyone, it will be an easy success! Don't show it only to Sudou-kun, but also others!"

"No, we won't show it to Sudou, Ike, and Yamauchi."

"K-why? You've gone far with a lot of points."

"If they hear that these are test questions, they will

losing all motivation and focus. Most importantly, overconfidence is the biggest problem. The part-time period may not be the same as the mock test, there is a possibility of different problems in the middle of the semester. "

It is important to remember that this old test is an assumption.

"Then what will you use for them?"

"Let go of this problem the day before the exam. Then we tell everyone that this problem is about the same as this year's exam. What will everyone do at that time?"

"That night, everyone will try to memorize his question!"

"That's how it is."

Students who do not understand the basics

maybe not memorizing

all problems in one day.

But, it is not difficult to understand the problem

earlier. We're not trying to get the highest score on the next test.

We try to avoid failure. If we ask too much, then,

the plan might fail.

But with this, we might be able to get everyone to graduate in Class D.

"Hey ... when are you thinking of getting this old test?"

"Because we found out that the test was different, but I have a guess

that old test may be similar since the midterms have been announced."

"Eh !? Since the beginning !?"

"When Chiyabashira-sensei first mentioned midterm, he

speaking in an unusual way. Although he knows Sudou and his values and

his other attitude, he spoke with great conviction. In other words, he confirmed that there was a sure way to save them."

"Is that ... an old test?"

The reason why Sudou, Ike, and Yamauchi were all accepted into this school, regardless

from their academic ability, it must be connected to this somehow.

If they can't get good grades by studying hard, this

it's kind of a way out for them. In other words, maybe everyone

get perfect grades by getting old tests. That's the most

i'm understand.

"... Ayanokouji-kun, you're really observant, aren't you?"

"I'm just sneaky, I don't think that I can get through the middle of the semester without

any help, I'm looking for a way to pass definitely”

"Fuun." As if there was something on his mind, Kushida smiled mischievously.

"I'm asking for help, can you say that you got the old thing? Tell me that you got an old test from third-year senpai that you got from him"

"I don't have a problem with that, but .. do you mind that?"

"I want to avoid trouble, after all, I don't want to stand out,

our classmate trusts you, it would be much better if you told someone else."

"…Well, if you say so."

"Thank you, I don't have to stand out."

"Then let's keep this between us a secret."

"Yes, that sounds good."

"Don't you feel there's trust between us when we share secrets

like this?"

"well, don't know, I hope so."

"Thank you."

Kushida answered briefly. But I think I don't know his thanks

what's for.
