Section 5
"This is very useful information. We definitely want to try to see what kind of questions the school will accept. ”
After I separated from the rest of the group and returned to the dorm room, I immediately contacted Horikita.
His goal was to pass on Yukimura's information to Horikita and request further instructions to move forward.
“Hirata and I have been working on the matter for Class C, but I wonder how far we've progressed with the trap question. I'll share information with you. It's great that everything
something seems to be going well, but can we be sure that Kaneda-kun is the one who will be creating the questions in Class C? ”
“There are absolutely no guarantees. But considering the questions that Kaneda might make is just that it's a way to answer the questions during a study session. There shouldn't be any harm in doing that, right? ”
"That's right. If this exam is full of difficult problems, even we might have to try our best to get 80 or 90 points. ”
If it ends up being harder than the tests given by the school, then there will be a limit to how high we can score on it.
“By the way, how is the learning group developing today? If you don't mind, can you tell me about it? ”
It wasn't something I needed to hide, so I told the truth about what happened today. But I exaggerated it a little. I explained to him that I was friends. Horikita listened and did not care about that aspect at all.
The only thing he noticed was that there were many similarities between Miyake's and Hasebe's academic abilities.
"They didn't seem to have done it on purpose, but it was still quite a coincidence."
"really?"
It's not uncommon for two people to sometimes have something in common, but for this to be similar this is very strange.
"I'll keep an eye on them as much as possible, it seems easy enough to control."
"Please do. Besides, there's something else I want to ask you. When Yukimura-kun's study group is off, please come to my study group to keep an eye on everyone? ”
"It's not something we agreed on at first, is it?"
“It makes no difference. You don't need to teach, I just want you there to organize. "
Setting is an unclear word. It's very vague if I don't know what he means by that at all. To me, it was as confusing as the meaning of the term 'less than a lover, but more than a friend'.
"...... Set up like what?"
I asked, to which he replied with a deliberate.
“The problem is that compared to how many teachers there are, there are too many people to teach. Anyway, I can't keep an eye on everyone. I want you to monitor if everyone is learning
well done. ”
“The school teachers manage to teach dozens of students all by themselves. Don't naive. ”
“That might be true, but the teacher couldn't keep an eye on everyone by himself, so the students ended up falling behind like Ike-kun. Even if the classroom is equipped with surveillance cameras like here, the situation remains the same. In class, their attitude was successfully faked, but in the end, they did not focus on their studies, so we were forced to experience desperate situations like the one we are facing now”.
I thought that I had given him a bold and resolute response, but in one breath, he managed to strike back and tear down my argument.
“Yukimura-kun is struggling because he is not used to teaching, but I am having a hard time due to the large number of students in
my part. Ike-kun and Yamauchi-kun are particularly troubled because they are less attentive than kindergarten children. ”
Ike and Yamauchi seem to be attending study sessions, but seem to also be doing whatever they want to do during them.
"Do you mind?"
"No."
"Good."
"I can skip the evening session, right?"
"It's okay. A night session is much better than a day session. Although compared to the boys I faced, some girls were a problem in the group. ”
I-i understand. Is it a situation where the girls plan to not participate, choosing to do so with Hirata? Even if Karuizawa is his girlfriend, it won't
it was bad to interact with such a handsome man, and it might not be a bad thing for the people under Karuizawa's control to increase the popularity.
I didn't really take part in it, but the interesting part of their study group came to mind.
Come to think of it, Sudo's name did not appear as one of his complaints.
"Has Sudo been acting up?"
“Yes, he studied seriously. Although the level has not been enough to reach high school students. ”
Putting aside the content, he seems to have been working on improving his attitude.
"Please take care of me from tomorrow."
At least, I sure don't have a good feeling about this.
“By the way, other than the problem with the study group, I want to make sure of something else. How's Kushida? ”
"What do you mean?"
"definitely. I think he will be able to help at his best. He also promised to attend study sessions every day. ”
That's not what I want to ask, but from Horikita's point of view, she doesn't seem to have anything special to say about it. After all, it was only the first day of the study session, so he should not have the chance to reach the bottom. But from my point of view, it's also true if I can't sit back and just watch the matter.
"Have you started making questions for Class C yet?"
"of course. As a basic guideline, I plan to combine the opinions of Hirata-kun and Yukimura-kun to make a question. At first I wanted to ask more people to help, but more and more people were working,
the higher the risk there would be someone who would leak it to Class C, so this was a very troubling situation for me. ”
True, the questions and answers that come with it are key points for Class D defense. Even if we try to plan an attack, if our defense is defeated, we will not be able to defend. The problem is that our questions should not be leaked in any way. Maybe we will meet someone who wants to find information.
“Although so, it will be difficult to definitively get rid of outsiders given Kushida's character and his actions so far. Is
you can't attend the evening session? It will be difficult for you to meet with Hirata about it. ”
“Well, I can't deny it, but she can't act on her own either. I think that as long as we avoid asking for his help with regards to the questions, he will not do anything beyond bounds. ”
It's just mutual speculation. The actions that Kushida will take are something that neither of us can predict.
"This question and answer is the lifeline of Class D. Don't forget that if this were to leak, Class D would definitely lose."
This is something I must consider separately from
desire to draw Kushida to our side.
The current state of affairs will not allow for us to leave it unattended.
"I'll avoid publishing it, but it may not be enough to solve the problem."
“I'm not worried about the question-making process, but who came after we made the proposal to the school. As long as questions and answers are confirmed to Chabashira-sensei the day before the final exam, the enemy will find out what it is. ”
During sports festivals, Kushida has used techniques like this to view the participation tables. Most likely Ryuen will ask for this from Kushida again.
"That is, there is no way out other than by talking to him."
“Even then, what will you do if the information is leaked to Class C?”
"That situation .. I don't want to think about it."
“You can't help but think about it. It involves the entirety of Class D. No matter how much we learn and improve our score, if they get almost 100 points across
board, we have no chance of winning. ”
If our answer is really remembered by the opponent, we lose.
“Yes, I understand that you are anxious, but I also have some countermeasures that I have thought of myself. Now
it's past 10, I want to ask at least one more question before I go to bed. So can I close now? ”
I agreed with him and ended the call. I found out that my phone battery was running low, so I connected it to a charger attached to a socket in my bed.
The current problems are similar to those we face during sports festivals. This is because the questions we make act as the lifeline of our classes for the final exam as the participation tables do during the festival. Ryuen and Kushida will not use the same strategy with each other. They will think of a different strategy.
Horikita said she would think about countermeasures, but I don't know how far they would go. He must try to convince Kushida.
I'm not trying to laugh at Horikita's strategy at all. It's more like there's not much else to say
about it.
It's just hypothetical, but if I'm going to win Kushida over to my side, I should have guessed it like I did with Karuizawa. No, I had to do more than that to get Kushida to his knees. However, I still don't know the details of the past
Kushida, so it's not an option for me in this situation. Plus, there's no guarantee that I can successfully threaten her because the way each of us is about is very different. They may seem similar, but they are not exactly the same.
"……What will I do?"
Unfortunately, I can't think of any other way right now.
After I turned off my phone and rested for a while, an email arrived. It was a message from Ryuen.
After the sports festival, I had requested Ryuen's email address from Manabe from Class C, and sent her an audio file. I haven't
got a response from Ryuen until now.
[Who are you?]
This sentence is the only thing written.
"Another meaningless email ..."
I'm a good enough person to give Ryuen an answer. I used a free address that couldn't be traced. She should
can understand such a thing, and maybe the game Ryuen is playing.
I decided to ignore the emails and go to bed.
