This scene is indeed quite embarrassing.
Manabu walked to a corridor. There were not many students here, so even if he wanted to talk about something important, no need to worry about being overheard.
"I don't know if you noticed. This is about your first-year exam."
'Is there anything wrong with this Command Tower showdown? Of course, because this was arranged by Tsukishiro....Target is Ayanokoji, who should be dropped out of school....'
"I came to pass on information to you. Under normal circumstances, seniors will not interfere with exams of juniors, but, I got information that Nagumo secretly met with first-year Class B, Sakayanagi Arisu."
This time, Hachiman and his friends' opponent is Class B, but Nagumo is contacting again, his purpose is very obvious, he still didn't give up.
'Did he forget how he was forced to resign, and how even his backup, Kiriyama, was fired?'
"I won't give Nagumo another chance. The next Student council President, if nothing unexpected happens, can only be Sakayanagi Arisu. The Chairman has been taken away for investigation on the grounds of abusing his power for personal gain. Mr. Tsukishiro has been parachuted in as the Acting Director. But I only met him once, and then I received news that he was sent to hospital for treatment due to injuries..."
"• •" Hachiman had nothing to say about this matter, he can also make errors once in a while.
"But he will still be the examiner for your End-of-the-year special exam. To be honest, I don't like his way of eliminating students and the reason for doing so in your grade satisfactory."
From this perspective, Manabu is still pretty good...'I felt uneasy about the incident at Sakayanagi family, so I promoted daughter of the chairman, to position of Student council President....I hope she can get certain authority. Even if the new Acting Director Tsukishiro is against her, she still has the support of council....'
Horikita Manabu is indeed the one who can support 39 people at same time.
But this also shows he agrees with Chairman Sakayanagi.
"And now, I got the message. Nagumo might make a move in your exam. I want you to be aware of that."
After all, seniors are the veterans, and if they interfere, a high possibility that will become even more chaotic.
So it makes people feel relieved that Horikita Manabu said this.
Be mentally prepared.
'No way! Although I don't want to criticize this Horikita's brother, he can handle work of President, and also does a good job as representative of the 3rd-year Class A. But when it comes to things like intelligence warfare, he is far inferior. He is really too honest.....It is true that Nagumo met with Sakayanagi, and he will also provide convenience for the first-year Class B and even help with special project training....So why? Because Sakayanagi suddenly became the vice-president even though she was a freshman, it was almost as if Princess was being nominated as next Queen.....Nagumo once told me that if he became president, he would definitely expel me....But now the situation is reversed....If Sakayanagi gets promoted to sit on Horikita-senapi's throne, won't Nagumo be expelled? At least, I suggested that he should be expelled....'
'Nagumo became much quieter after Kiriyama was dismissed. Even some time ago, when Horikita-senpai directly announced that Sakayanagi would become vice-president of the student council, he was standing as head of second-year students at that time, and was among those who were smiling and applauding.....It seems very respectful...So did he lose? It was indeed...But Nagumo was probably worried that he would be fired by Sakayanagi, so he was trying hard to make her give up this terrible idea.....'
'Because he knows very well...It is difficult to become the best student council president in history who is absolutely fair like Horikita Manabu...Others will definitely use their authority to fire anyone who makes them unhappy. So, he was in danger all of a sudden. Either he collected 20 million points to avoid being expelled, or... he made friends with Sakayanagi, made amends, and hopednot to be expelled.....' Thinking of this, Hachiman actually found it quite funny.
Because Nagumo had said that to him on purpose before, in order to disgust Hachiman, but now, senior had to taste the bitter fruit himself.
'In order to deal with the worst case scenario, Nagumo has to work harder to make money. The 20 million points from the consecutive forest exams and millions of points paid to bribe Ryuen made Nagumo's lady purse run out....Therefore, if he wanted to collect 20 million points, apart from exploiting the second years, he could only continue to extract points from school through special exams....And the more he does this, more likely he is to be fired. As a sophomore, he has lost his value in class confrontation.'
'What the school wants to foster is class rivalry. But, Nagumo simply divides up every exam. All four classes are his, so he can test however he wants. Others don't have to think about it.....He is undoubtedly very strong, but after one exam after another, Nagumo is the only one who came out of school, and continued to suppress others from growing as a person.....So, outcome that awaited him in the end was dismissal...It should not be too far away.'

School.
"Thank you for your hard work, Nagumo-senpai."
He specially sent people to train students in her class and also gave advice.
After all, he was a senior, and he played a very good role in many aspects.
So it was not wrong to say that Nagumo helped, "No, no. I also hope that Sakayanagi-san can continue to win."
He left after saying that.
"Kamuro-san, have you contacted the 2nd-year students?"
"Here is the information you requested. Students from Class B of 2nd year, which is also where former Student Council Vice President Kiriyama fell down. Some of them are interested in canvassing for us....People are not very satisfied with Nagumo. In the past two months, he has taken too many points from them. In addition, Nagumo has lost his status as a member of student council, so they are so easy to defect to us. So should we let riot directly? Overthrow power of Nagumo Miyabi."
"Give him some time first. Also, Kamuro-san, don't trust second-year Class B so much. This was originally Class A, and there are a lot of people missing. I think troublemakers who dared to resist have been dealt with...So now they just agreed to canvass for votes, but didn't say they would defect to us. Perhaps it's just a chess piece used by Nagumo to manipulate with."
"So we don't have to deal with Nagumo?" Kamuro-san was now a little confused. 'Because didn't Hikigaya hope that Sakayanagi would expel Nagumo after becoming the student council president?'

"Fufu....I will destroy him. But we have to wait until Nagumo Miyabi has finished training the students in our class...Also, he has to squeeze enough points from the second graders. This semester is about to end, and I can't go empty-handed....A girl needs her pocket money, after all. Don't you think so too, Kamuro-san?"
???
'You treat Nagumo as a sheep.' As Kamuro-san thought this, she heard Sakayanagi coldly added, "We need to make full use of the waste."
Does that mean Nagumo is still trash in your eyes?

Manabu just came to remind him, but Hachiman didn't pay attention.
At the same time, he also has a deployment plan for command tower exam with Sakayanagi.
Even if Nagumo provides help to her class, it will not affect test results.
However, Hikigaya-kun remembered that Suzune seemed to be more of a housewife than he was.
The weather is changing a lot now, so as a qualified househusband, you have to be prepared, "Where did you buy your scarf?"
"Mine?"
"Yeah, this dark red is girl's style. I have no taste in picking things, and the one you are wearing now is quite nice....."
She looks pretty good in it.
"...." Suzune....'Although I felt that Hikigaya-kun's question was not right, it seemed that he wanted to buy the same scarf as me....After a little thought, I learnt it should be someone he wanted to buy the scarf for.'
Suzune is a rather unique person.
Although she doesn't think so, but doesn't mind others using the same things as her.
No wonder Haruka felt depressed.
But, Suzune had gone supermarket shopping with Hikigaya-kun many times and experienced each other's complete lack of taste.
That's why, Suzune thought it would be better to tell him location of the shopping street before he asked if she could help him pick it out. 'After all, some time has passed since I waited for him to come out today. If I continue to fool around, it will delay my study time.....'
In this way.
After delivering two large bags of supplies to dormitory, Hikigaya-kun went back to the shopping street.

The next day, Hachiman arrived at lobby on the first floor an hour before getting up early to go to school and having breakfast.
This is public hall, and each student's mailbox is also here.
The facilities for second and first years were the same, so Hachiman quickly found area with the students' private mailboxes.
Even more so quickly found private mailbox marked [Kushida Kikyo].
But when he opened the mailbox, several letters fell out.
The envelope is full of bright colors.
Obviously, this is a letter confessing love or expressing affection.
Kushida-chan is like a little angel, and her popularity soared after Hirata-kun lost his shine.
So, attention girl receives also increases.
Normally, she would only receive an occasional love letter, but now gets two or three a day.
Hachiman clearly saw that one of the letters was written by a girl.
However, Hachiman has seen that Ichinose is liked by her classmate Chihiro-chan, so it's not surprising that Kushida also has a female fan.
These are all manifestations of their high popularity.
He also knew that no matter how many letters he wrote, it would be useless.
'Kushida completely rejects the idea of dating. However, with so many love letters to reject, her dissatisfaction will increase, so I will have to accompany her alone to vent her emotions again this weekend...'
Feeling that his weekend was occupied, Hachiman put his newly bought scarf into Kushida's mailbox.
Then take out your cell phone.
Send a message to other party [I sent you a gift in the mailbox, can you pick it up yourself?]
Then you just have to keep looking for another mailbox.
Hachiman couldn't decide who he would marry when he graduated, and it was obviously unfair to only prepare gifts for one person to keep him warm.
Especially, If the one who actually gets married doesn't prepare a gift for the other, and then at wedding, host asks about experience together, and they have nothing to say, may not even exchange gifts.
This is very embarrassing.
Hachiman doesn't think he is a considerate person, but at least he has to be a thorough person.
He quickly searched mailbox of Ichinose.
However, this was his first time doing this, so he was not very skilled.
So after he finished doing so, Hachiman breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as he was thinking about leaving it at that for now, he went to get his schoolbag from dormitory, but only to get bumped into Ichinose Honami who was walking out of the gate.
But Ichinose looked like she had seen something she shouldn't have seen.
"O-Ohayo...Hiki..H-Hachiman," Perhaps because there was no one else present, she did not call him Hikigaya-kun.
'Suddenly my name was called. It was used my family or Komachi. She even called "Hachiman" as an insult....'
However, being called out by a girl who was not a family member, Hikigaya-kun actually subconsciously felt embarrassed, "Well....Ohayo, you too...." he replied a little shyly.
Because exams are coming up, and he also thinks that Ryuen might do something bad to Ichinose's class, but as a student in Class C, he has no reason to warn her.
.....Hachiman doesn't think that Ichinose's class can do as well as Manabu's either.
'Because she is not that strong. At the same time, Soon first-year students will be enrolled....It is not certain whether there will be any freshmen like me who are too over the top and might set their sights on taking advantage of us, seniors....By then, Nagumo's years will be 3rd grade and no one will need to pay attention to it, but in the second grade, Ichinose's class will become the easiest target for bullying...So, at the end of this semester, please grow up a little, Ichinose.....However, I usually only meet her when I go to school. But, it is really a coincidence that we met now before 7 o'clock.....You really like to throw me in these kinds of situations, don't you?'
"Um... um—" But today, Ichinose turned her head slightly, as if trying to avoid his sight.
"After waking up, I went for a short walk. I just came back," She said absentmindedly, her eyes clearly not looking at him.
Based on Hachiman's understanding of her, she probably saw him putting something there, but didn't know when she saw it. 'Did she only see me putting something in her mailbox, or did she see putting in Kushida's as well? Or maybe she simply saw me delivering something to someone but not who it was for.....'
"....." Hachiman said nothing.
