★★★
Sakura was by Hachiman's side, seemingly a bit timid.
However, she was a girl after all, and carried a sweet scent.
Hachiman was already immune.
For this, he had to thank Kushida for some of their interactions, otherwise he would probably be flustered right now.
After all, he had seen Sakura's true face, that of a top-tier beautiful girl.
Hmm.
He couldn't calm down.
Rather, he had always found Sakura quite cute, so seeing her true face immediately felt very reasonable.
However.
"Hikigaya, are you really, really going to come here?" Sakura asked cautiously, or rather, lacking confidence.
Because Hikigaya was coming specifically to check things out since she said her sixth sense was very accurate and felt something might happen here.
But a sixth sense isn't 100% accurate.
Just like today, she didn't know she would come here with Hikigaya.
It was just that he solved the camera problem, and it was scary when they met the store clerk, so she was grateful to Hikigaya.
She also knew how to repay kindness.
So Sakura was still very well-behaved.
"Let's just take a look." Hachiman said. "I actually hope something happens."
His idea that Class A might launch an attack, which he told Ichinose and the others, was not groundless.
It was because the current time and opportunity were too good.
If missed, it would be a huge loss.
And the students of Class A had already used all their Class points to purchase the school's substance when they first enrolled.
Now that some time had passed, any consumption they made would make them seem more financially strained than students from other Classes.
At the same time.
The information they obtained by spending those points... was destroyed.
Admittedly, the students of Class A were formidable.
They only lost 4 points in 6 days.
However.
Hikigaya still understood that he had destroyed the advantage of Class A students.
Because if he hadn't revealed the Class evaluation points, students from other Classes wouldn't have been able to know the true nature of this school in advance.
Then, because this year's Class A students were well-prepared, they would be even better than previous Class A's, and could open up a relatively large gap with other Classes from the start.
And this was Class A's advantage.
Now, this advantage was gone.
The announced values showed that Class A and Class B only had a difference of just over a hundred points.
Class A was still leading, but this score was not safe.
So there was a high probability they would do something to maintain and consolidate their position.
It was just that Class D had not received any information from Class A yet.
So it was possible that Class A had gone to Class C's people.
They could obtain information from the sociable Kushida.
Some of Class C's students seemed to have been delinquents or thugs in middle school.
And now, Class C's representative, Ryuen Kakeru, was once a rather famous gang leader.
In fact, judging from the fact that Class C had a representative, Class C's students were actually quite capable.
Because they achieved something Class D hadn't... unity, instead of being a disorganized mess.
Hachiman had not met Ryuen, only seeing his name and face on the roster.
It was just that the methods these thugs or delinquents would use might not be acceptable to ordinary students.
It was just that Class A's target was probably Class B, but Hachiman didn't think his Class would be safe.
After all, they were all four Classes of Grade 1.
If they could be dealt with together, then they would all be dealt with.
Of course.
Perhaps Class D would be underestimated as the easiest to deal with, and thus attacked first.
And thinking this.
"That guy isn't coming, is he?"
In the corridor, a somewhat impatient male voice suddenly rang out.
...
Hachiman and Sakura were at the corner of the stairs.
And that voice was not far from here.
Hachiman's body had already reacted.
He was very fast.
He rushed forward immediately, embraced Sakura, and covered the girl's cherry lips with his hand.
"Shh."
Hachiman made a silencing gesture, probably telling Sakura to be quiet first, as he wanted to eavesdrop.
It was just that.
Eh eh eh!?
She was hugged by a boy!
Sakura was completely caught off guard when she was embraced.
But facing Hikigaya's actions, she could only nod obediently.
And Hachiman's attention was forward.
He could already see the side profile of the boy who made the sound.
From the information obtained, this was a student from Class C, named Ishizaki Daichi.
In other words, although he paid 80,000 points and only got the roster, it was already coming in handy now.
What's more, because he sold the information to Sakayanagi, Hachiman actually didn't spend a single point.
"Lend me the camera for a moment." Hachiman whispered.
"Mmm... Okay." Sakura probably remembered Hachiman telling her to be quiet, so she nodded obediently.
Actually, she also wished Hachiman would let her go quickly now.
Because this contact felt so strange, her heart was racing.
And Hachiman, holding the camera, quietly walked to the corner.
Because he was on his tiptoes, he didn't make a sound.
Then, he quietly turned on the camera's video mode.
He poked his head out and looked down the corridor.
In the corridor, three boys were leaning against the wall, smoking and complaining.
"Don't worry, he'll come."
A brown-haired delinquent threw his cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it, saying disdainfully, "How could a fool who gets easily provoked by a casual remark possibly hold back after seeing the letter we wrote?"
"You're right."
The red-haired delinquent who spoke first also laughed, "If this guy wasn't so stupid, why would we even bother with him?"
"Hey, keep it down!"
Ishizaki Daichi, whom Hachiman recognized, scolded, "Sudo is coming soon, be careful not to let him hear. Otherwise, if Ryuen's plan is ruined, none of us will have a good time."
"Remember to let him beat us all up later."
"I got it."
Hearing Ryuen's name, the brown-haired delinquent trembled slightly and nodded.
"Bastards! Where are you? Come out!"
Just as the red-haired boy was about to speak, an enraged voice came from the staircase below.
"Lower your voice!"
Ishizaki Daichi cursed angrily, "Are you an idiot?"
They deliberately chose a place without cameras, wasn't it so they wouldn't be discovered?
This idiot's voice was so loud, was he afraid others wouldn't hear him?
"Quick, hold him!"
Ishizaki Daichi's face changed, then he rushed down the stairs, and the three of them together pulled another red-haired boy up.
And Hachiman, at this moment, also clearly saw the newcomer.
The red-haired boy who was surrounded was none other than Sudo Ken, from his Class.
His athletic ability was excellent, like a cheat.
He was also good at Basketball, and had already become a regular player after just joining the club.
Although he thought Class C might attack Class D first, the first target they chose was... Sudo.
...
"What exactly do you want!"
And Sudo's angry voice came through.
The three delinquents almost completely restrained him, two grabbing his arms, another tugging his collar, trying to lift him up.
To have endured until now without striking back, Sudo was already showing considerable restraint.
After all, everyone in the Class was currently restraining themselves, wanting to maintain the Class evaluation points, so he didn't want to lose points because of himself.
"Hit him!"
But the three delinquents exchanged glances, and then Ishizaki Daichi shouted first.
Then he swung his fist and smashed it towards Sudo Ken.
The other two also cooperated with a shout.
Sudo, surrounded in the middle, his pupils constricted, but Ishizaki's fist had already smashed over.
He endured it directly.
Then, almost instinctively, he broke free from the restraints, and then swung his fist, smashing it towards Ishizaki.
Ishizaki subconsciously adopted a blocking stance, but then suddenly lowered his hands, as if giving up resistance.
Thus.
"Bang—!"
Sudo Ken's fist was faster, hitting Ishizaki squarely in the face.
"Bastard! Do you want to fight? Come on!"
Sudo Ken cursed angrily, appearing extremely furious.
Because in his opinion, it was clearly the other party who made the first move now.
Even if it came out later, he would only be considered acting in self-defense.
At that time, he would definitely be exempted from most of the responsibility.
In that case, he wouldn't need to worry at all.
I have to say, it was truly difficult for Sudo to consider things to that extent.
However, unfortunately, he fell into their trap.
"Tho-those people did it on purpose."
Sakura's timid and surprised voice rang in Hachiman's ears.
Perhaps because she saw people fighting, the girl's face was a little pale at that moment.
Sakura hadn't heard Ishizaki and the others' discussion beforehand, but she had seen the fight.
"Mm."
Hachiman nodded lightly.
Even Sakura could tell.
Sudo was completely caught in the situation and couldn't see clearly.
Although he was fighting three people at once, if one observed carefully, they would find that the three people who were fighting Sudo were all holding back.
At the same time.
Although it seemed like Ishizaki Daichi made the first move, from an outsider's perspective, it was clear that even though he had two delinquents hold Sudo, the two delinquents didn't use their full strength when Sudo struggled.
In other words, they intentionally let Sudo break free and hit them!
This was not a real fight.
And now.
They were provoking Sudo, which meant they were intentionally taking punches.
"Ah~ It hurts so much!"
"Damn it, Sudo, stop!"
"Ah, you're finished, Sudo, you're finished!"
?
"Did I use that much force?" Sudo also looked bewildered.
"And Komiya, I haven't even touched you yet! Are you trying to stage an accident?!"
Komiya, who also had red hair, was already lying on the ground.
"Wh-what should we do...?" Sakura had never seen such a situation.
"Sudo fell into their trap." Hachiman said.
"This isn't an ordinary fight. The Class C students want to cause trouble."
"And what we can do is..."
The Class C students were using violent means, and if this was stopped here, everyone might be threatened.
Therefore.
Perhaps they had to seize this opportunity to fight back.
"And Sakura." Hachiman looked at Sakura.
"Can you remain silent about this for now?"
"Eh? Uh... Mm."
Sakura nodded.
Given her introverted personality, if she had seen such a fight alone, she probably wouldn't even dare to show her face.
...
Thus.
The next day arrived.
When Hachiman arrived at the classroom, he wanted to check on Sudo, but he found that the students in the Class seemed very uneasy.
Because.
"It's all Sudo's fault, we're going to lose a lot of points now!"
"Everyone worked so hard to control themselves and maintain the Class evaluation points, but Sudo, that guy..."
"We don't even know how many points will be deducted!"
From afar, the noisy voices from Class D could be heard.
"I told you, there were three people on their side!"
"But..."
Sudo was trying hard to explain something to Kushida and Hirata, while Ike and Yamauchi were slumped over their desks, muttering, "It's all Sudo's fault..."
Something seemed to have happened.
When Hachiman arrived, he noticed that Sakura, whom he usually teased, was looking at him nervously.
Hachiman gave her a reassuring look.
"Hikigaya." and Kushida, like an Little Angel, ran from Sudo's side to Hachiman's.
This also caught the attention of Hachiman's next-door neighbor, Horikita Suzune.
"Something big might happen."
Seeing Horikita also look over, she, being good at gathering information, immediately explained, "The Class C Basketball players filed a complaint against Sudo with the school. They said that after club activities ended, Sudo unilaterally assaulted them."
"And they hope the school makes the correct judgment. If necessary, they hope Sudo is expelled!"
...
Horikita didn't speak, or rather, she probably felt there were too many problems.
After all, she had never experienced a fight.
However, she looked at Hachiman.
Because if this matter wasn't handled properly, the Class evaluation points would be affected.
Soon, Chabashira-sensei also walked in for the daily morning meeting, but today's topic was undoubtedly Sudo's assault.
"I was acting in self-defense, self-defense!"
Sudo sat in his seat, banging on the table, trying hard to defend himself.
"I told you it's not like that, there were three people on their side!"
Sudo's face was filled with anger as he strenuously explained to his classmates, "They made the first move! I was defending myself! Self-defense!"
"But, they've already filed a complaint, you know."
Evidently, others didn't quite believe Sudo's explanation.
Because of Sudo's usual unruly behavior and his constant proactive provocations, it was hard to imagine him as someone who would only retaliate after others made a move.
Compared to that, they were more willing to believe the seemingly absurd report—
That Sudo Ken alone beat up three people from the other side.
"Chabashira-sensei." Hachiman asked.
"Class C filed a complaint against Sudo?"
"Mm." Chabashira nodded, then looked at him.
"The Student Council President has accepted it, and a hearing will be held next week. At that time, Sudo, I, and two defense attorneys will need to attend."
This was also the news she had just received.
And this news was also very critical.
Because once fighting was confirmed, there would be a large point deduction.
It would be especially scrutinized in the behavioral conduct assessment.
And if the circumstances were severe, even more absurd points would be deducted.
Therefore.
Class D now only had 480 points left, plus the one or two points deducted daily.
In other words, Hikigaya Hachiman's plan to accumulate Class evaluation points this month as a foundation... was it going to be bankrupt?
But only Hachiman knew that things were settled.
Class C was going to become Class D in this behavioral conduct assessment.
During the examination month for behavioral conduct, students' performance and character would be given even more emphasis.
According to Chabashira-sensei's notification.
One week later, the Student Council would hold a hearing on Class C's request.
If the hearing resulted in a loss, Class evaluation points would be deducted based on the outcome, and Sudo's punishment would be directly issued.
It could be a suspension.
But the Class evaluation points would still be deducted.
Moreover, fighting, especially one person against three, was a serious incident, so the probability of punishment was very high.
"So, is there any other way?"
After the first period ended, a student came to Hachiman's desk.
This was the Class's Yosuke Mama. Corresponding to Yosuke Mama was Kushida, who was called Kushida Little Angel because of her cute appearance, sweet smile, and angelic demeanor.
Both of them came over.
Hmm...
Actually, it wasn't just them.
Horikita Suzune also looked directly over from her adjacent seat.
After all, if Sudo's assault was confirmed, Sudo himself would be punished, and the Class would also be implicated, especially since everyone had now signed an agreement to get 400 points and so on.
Of course.
Yosuke Mama was probably worried about Sudo, while others were worried about the Class evaluation points.
After all, everyone had restrained themselves so much, and if Sudo caused a large point deduction, most people would probably break down.
However.
Hachiman glanced in Sudo's direction.
Class was over, and Sudo, as the central figure of the incident, seemed to have run off, perhaps feeling constantly questioned by his classmates.
So Hachiman withdrew his gaze.
"Regarding this matter, I don't think there's any other solution besides accepting the hearing." Hachiman said.
"So, we should try our best to find information beneficial to Sudo."
"For example, I believe Sudo is innocent."
"So, the Class C claim that Sudo hit all three of them, I think there might be some problem with that." Hachiman said.
"But Sudo is usually so irritable." a student came over to interject.
"I was startled by him before."
"So, about this assault, I think it might be true." the student said.
Hachiman looked at this student.
This was Yamauchi Haruki.
It made one instantly feel somewhat speechless.
Because after enrollment, although Sudo seemed irritable, and even his self-introduction?
Was it a childish trick?
But he quickly integrated into a small group.
However, it was with Ike and Yamauchi, a small group that wasn't popular and was even somewhat disliked by girls.
And Yamauchi was one of them, yet he wasn't speaking up for Sudo now?
"Let's still trust our classmates." Hachiman said.
"I believe Sudo didn't hit them for no reason, but rather, it was self-defense, as he said."
"Hikigaya-kun! I also believe in Sudo!"
This statement made Yosuke Mama feel good.
He was probably the person who valued his classmates the most.
That's why he came to Hikigaya's side after Class.
On one hand, if a decision was made at the hearing, Sudo would cause the Class to lose points.
No one wanted to see that.
And Hachiman also had the goal of being promoted to Class A, so Class evaluation points were naturally extremely precious.
So, Hachiman's and Hirata's ideas were consistent.
To try their best to exonerate Sudo, provide help, and reduce or even avoid point deductions.
However.
Hirata is standing on the side of trusting his classmates, but does Hikigaya trust Sudo?
This made Mother Hirata feel very relieved.
However.
Actually, that's not the case, because Hachiman witnessed the whole process.
So he fully knew that Sudo was indeed framed and was forced to act in self-defense.
It's just that such words cannot be spoken now.
The video taken shows that Ryuen of Class C indeed wanted to do something, and now that 'something' has surfaced.
Ryuen clearly used violence, yet he boldly applied to the Student Council for a trial, almost challenging the School's rules.
Because.
Normally, it's unrealistic for Sudo, being just one person, to fight three people.
And that's what ordinary people would think.
However, Ryuen was able to present it to the Student Council, which indicates that he had already made some preparations sufficient to convince the School that Sudo had excessively hit three people in a row.
And such an act is likely to be a dirty trick.
To achieve a goal, perhaps one might even hurt themselves, Hachiman thought that might also be possible.
However, Ryuen's actions were somewhat similar to his, yet not entirely.
He's a dangerous person.
Class warfare doesn't necessarily have to be fair and square, but if the opponent is that dangerous... then the only option is to take down this Ryuen of Class C first.
It's just how to take him down.
The opponent has already voluntarily exposed himself, so let the opponent explode.
Thus, Hachiman looked at the others.
"Let's look for witnesses to Sudo's fight." Hachiman said, as if analyzing.
"If there are witnesses, perhaps Sudo's innocence can be proven."
And at this point.
Sakura, sitting in her seat, still held up her book, then cautiously looked at Hachiman.
Hmm.
She remained quiet.
This is very good.
However.
"That's a good idea." Someone immediately responded to him.
And Hachiman looked over.
The person who quickly responded to him had beautiful golden hair tied in a single ponytail, with delicate and lovely features—this was Kei Karuizawa.
Among the girls Hachiman had seen in this School, she could rank second in terms of cuteness.
...It was Karuizawa, who was on his grudge list.
And Karuizawa probably disliked him too.
So he didn't understand what Karuizawa was trying to do.
She even cooperated with him.
Since it was after Class, most of the classmates were in the classroom.
So they originally thought that if Sudo's fight led to point deductions, all their efforts would be ruined, and next month's living expenses would be minimal.
This was truly terrible.
No one liked to eat that unappetizing wild vegetable meal.
So, they wanted money!
But the only way to get money was through the Class evaluation points related to each student, provided by the School.
Once it was deducted to 0, there would be no living expenses next month, right?
How terrifying that was.
Having eaten unappetizing food and spent lavishly, the classmates couldn't even imagine a month with nothing.
Thus.
Although Sudo's matter had come up now.
But if someone could prove that Sudo acted in self-defense and not in a fight, wouldn't he be innocent?
Then everyone's Class evaluation points, everyone's...
Thus.
Although they said it was for Sudo, it was also for themselves.
The students of Class D of Grade 1 began to scatter everywhere to look for witnesses.
However, this still seemed insufficient.
...
Student Council.
The Student Council President was on duty.
"So, you want to apply to use the bulletin board for information recruitment?" said Student Council President Horikita Manabu.
Just like the last time they came, Horikita Manabu was followed by Akane Tachibana.
However, there was also a handsome Vice President with short golden hair, Nagumo, in the office.
As before, he still had a nameplate on his desk that read "Vice President Nagumo."
Whenever students came to the Student Council, they would pay attention.
Since he had been in this School for some time, Hachiman also knew that this Vice President's name was Nagumo Miyabi.
From information obtained from Kushida, he was not a student of Class A, but was once a student of Class B, and then successfully led his Class to Class A.
He is an outstanding successful person.
No wonder he's so flashy.
From Chabashira, it could be understood that even the examples of Class B successfully reaching Class A were very few.
Moreover.
The opponent is a Grade 2 student, which means the opponent completed the feat of reaching Class A in Grade 1.
Thus, Nagumo climbed up to gain the status of Class A, and at the same time was valued by Student Council President Horikita Manabu and invited into the Student Council, granted the position of Vice President.
It's just.
However, Hachiman also found that Nagumo was not the only Vice President.
There was also another Grade 2 student named Kiriyama.
And this Kiriyama was once a student of Class A, defeated by Nagumo, so logically the two would be rivals, and Kiriyama was also Nagumo's defeated opponent, so why were both Nagumo and Kiriyama invited in?
And the latter also held the position of Vice President.
So.
Is President Horikita being inclusive, or... is there something that needs balancing in this Student Council?
But for now, let's deal with the matter at hand.
"Yes." Hachiman said.
He and Hirata went to the Student Council together.
And there was only one purpose: to pay points to find witnesses for Sudo's fight, and if there were witnesses willing to testify, they would be given a certain amount of points in return.
After all, the trial is next week, so everything that can be done this week must be done.
Gather the strength of the entire Class, and even the entire School, to find witnesses!
"Um, Student Council President, I think Sudo from my Class is innocent, and one person fighting three people, that doesn't make sense." Hirata quickly said.
"So there might be some misunderstanding."
"The specific details will have to wait until you defend him at next week's trial." the Student Council President said calmly.
"Is that so."
Although rejected by the Student Council President, Hirata did not give up.
So he voluntarily paid points, hoping to find witnesses to the fight.
He wanted to post this search information on the bulletin board.
And of course, this required a fee.
However, Hachiman knew very well that such a search was meaningless.
Because he and Sakura were the witnesses.
But Sakura is a good student, and she's well-behaved.
If he doesn't make her come out, she won't.
And all of this was to show that Class D of Grade 1 was actively trying to handle the situation.
However, while recording, Hachiman noticed that the expression on the Student Council Vice President's face seemed a bit subtle.
"Is something wrong, Nagumo-senpai?" Hachiman asked.
"Heh... nothing." Nagumo shook his head.
"It's a total of 20,000 points. Scan the QR code here."
But he seemed to be secretly laughing.
Yes, he was.
Because Class D had another incident.
First, Hachiman broke the camera, then he printed the entire Grade's roster for making friends, and now it's one person fighting three.
It could be said that Nagumo had witnessed all three incidents.
Then he just wanted to shake his head.
This batch of new students is truly hopeless.
Nagumo thought to himself.
...
But these efforts were not yet completely over.
And the next day.
After School in the afternoon, Hachiman asked Kushida to invite Ichinose Honami out.
The reason was simple: Ichinose is the representative of Class B, and now Class D was in trouble, so as a partner in the B-D alliance, Ichinose naturally felt obligated.
This was also a test of the alliance between the two Classes.
So, Ichinose's connections also joined in.
Searching for witnesses to the Sudo incident.
Thus.
Class D of Grade 1 ran around for Sudo Ken, doing everything they could.
But.
It was very frustrating.
Because no witnesses were found at all.
There were no cameras in the laboratory building where Sudo fought.
So everything fell into the worst state.
...
Thus, the time came to the day before the trial.
Third-floor cafeteria private room.
"Thank you for the meal." Hachiman said.
Today's lunch was treated by Sakayanagi, a 2200-point meal set.
Normally, students wouldn't eat something so expensive, but Sakayanagi had money.
And she was the one who agreed to order it.
Moreover.
Hachiman didn't think this meal was free.
Because.
"Well, since you've eaten my food, Hikigaya, your Class seems to be caught in a trial fighting incident now." Sakayanagi Arisu said.
"Can you tell me about the progress?"
"It would be a bit regrettable if you guys just fell down like this." Sakayanagi said.
"After all, I just declared war on you, and now I'm about to checkmate."
The students of Class D of Grade 1 began to move out to search for witnesses for Sudo.
They wanted someone to testify.
It caused quite a stir.
So, even other Classes would know.
Especially Class A, which has many eyes and ears.
Of course.
"We put in the effort of the entire Class, and we also asked Ichinose for help, but we couldn't find any eyewitnesses." Hikigaya said.
Oh.
Sakayanagi Arisu nodded.
Rather, the actions of Class D students in searching for eyewitnesses were heard about in several Classes.
But unfortunately.
They didn't find any.
They wasted so much connections and resources, yet still couldn't find an eyewitness.
Then, for Class D.
It was simply a terrible situation.
"Once the fighting incident is confirmed, your Class won't be able to climb up, will it?" Sakayanagi said.
Because if there was a fight, and it was a vicious one-against-three, then Sudo might cause Class D to lose possibly 200 points.
Therefore.
Is your Class D, Hikigaya, going to be finished just like that?
"And Ryuen's handling of it was very clever." Sakayanagi Arisu said.
"His Class's student was genuinely injured. Your Class's Sudo is truly a brave one."
Actually, not really.
Hikigaya understood that Sakayanagi was indicating that Ryuen of Class C was a meticulous person.
Normally, when Ishizaki Daichi and the others fought Sudo, they definitely weren't seriously injured at the time, but afterwards, they showed their injuries, making people realize the seriousness of the matter.
In fact, from this point of view, Sakayanagi is probably a benevolent person.
Because she gave him an entry point.
That is, the injuries of Ishizaki Daichi and the others from Ryuen's side.
They could obtain the changes in Ishizaki and the others before and after by retrieving camera footage.
Then prove that Sudo didn't injure them that badly.
However.
Hikigaya quickly looked at her.
"...Hmm." Sakayanagi Arisu maintained her elegance.
As one of the representatives of Class A, this incident was not something she did.
Rather, it was the plan of Totsuka Yahiko, Katsuragi's follower.
Originally, Sakayanagi proposed a plan where Class A would do nothing and still maintain a stable point value.
It's just that Yahiko and the others felt they couldn't create too much of a point difference with Class B, and everyone had already paid points to understand the true nature of this school.
As a result, now not only does everyone know, but the behavioral assessment exam is continuing.
So other Classes can also self-regulate now.
Although it's impossible not to lose points, they should lose fewer points.
This puts a lot of pressure on Katsuragi and her Faction, who want to stably maintain Class A's position.
Thus, there was this incident of hiring Class C students to act.
And as a student of Class A, Sakayanagi did not want to sign the agreement Ryuen brought, which stated that they would receive long-term benefits for completing the task.
So, isn't it a foregone conclusion that Ryuen will fail?
However, Hikigaya and the others seemed to have done everything, like looking for eyewitnesses, but for the upcoming trial, they didn't seem to have considered that much.
It was a bit regrettable.
But was that really the case?
Ever since Hikigaya's self-sabotage last time, which destroyed the camera and led to the early exposure of the Class evaluation points, Sakayanagi felt that this guy was unusual, and his methods would be unimaginable.
So she wanted to know his methods for this trial.
And she had just revealed a plan to him.
However.
"However." Hikigaya said, "Sakayanagi, do you believe in luck?"
"Luck?" Arisu frowned slightly.
"Yes, luck." Hikigaya said.
"Ryuen arranged for Komiya and Ishizaki to plan the fight with Sudo this time, and I happened to record their conversation about framing Sudo."
"..." Sakayanagi.
