Ike, Shinohara, Kushida and Kiyotaka are in the same group for the special exam

Shinohara becomes the group leader, which gives her the ability to distribute tokens among the members of the group
The tokens are required to win the exam or avoid expulsion if the student is among the bottom placers

Shinohara uses her group leader position to threaten and humiliate Kushida, whom she knows Ike is physically attracted to

She finds a loophole in the rules and uses it to drain Shinohara of her own tokens

Shinorara is left among the bottom placers and gets expelled as a result

Ike has a mental breakdown upon hearing the results and his friends have to physically drag him away so he'll stop screaming near everyone

Ryuuen's plan to use Hiyori as bait works
Kiyotaka knows it's a trap and that it's illogical to save her but does it anyway, this is the first time Kiyotaka acts out of emotions and not pure reason

--------------------------------------------------------

She didn’t look happy that I had come to meet her.

She only gazed silently at the sea, a trace of sadness about her.

"...I felt I had to do something. If I didn't do what only I could do..."

She nudged the sand at her feet apart with the tip of her shoe. It was a small movement, but its irregular repetition spoke of how long she had been standing there.

"What only you could do?"

Certainly, in one sense, it could be called a strategy.
If it had been anyone else, I probably wouldn’t have come here.

Far off, a seabird cried as it skimmed low over the water.

“When Ryuuen told me about the seabird, I had no intention of coming here at first. No, to be precise, my instinct told me that choosing to come would be a mistake. It would definitely hurt the class. If I thought only about winning, there was no benefit in coming here at all. But if I abandoned you, then even if I couldn’t say exactly how much Class B would lose in terms of valuable strength, it would certainly affect the rankings.”

“Then... why did you come anyway...?”

Only then did Hiyori shift her gaze slightly.

She wasn't looking directly at me. Her eyes fell somewhere between the sand at her feet and the sea.

"Maybe I just wanted to know what it feels like to be swept up in something unreasonable and illogical. I was curious what kind of emotion I would feel after choosing a mistaken option I should never have chosen."

-----------------------------------------------------

Kiyotaka and Hiyori both confess their love to each other and hold hands for a while

Ichinose sees the entire interaction between Kiyotaka and Hiyori
She is consumed by hatred and swears to take out Hiyori

I understand, it's definitely that.

Wrong.
That's wrong.

It means that Shiina-san is not a mere friend.

I don't want to believe it.
But, what is in front of my eyes is...... a cruel reality.

Ayanokouji-kun stepped down from his unstable footing then turned around and took Shiina-san's hand into his.

Then he gently escorted her while disembarking.

While her expression had an apologetic tone, it was obviously very happy.


I thought it was Karuizawa-san.

If I just got her away from him I could stand besides Ayanokouji-kun.

But that was wrong.

What I really... have to do is...

So, it was you...

"Shiina Hiyori-san", I muttered.

Heavily, darkly and deeply.

I carved that name, while leaving a gouging wound in my heart.

>>288260048
“Since earlier it’s been ‘Kikyō, Kik yō’… why are you the only one calling Kushida-san by her first name so familiarly!?”

“W-Wait…!”

The sudden emotional outburst caught him off guard.
He tried to defend himself in a panic, but the words got stuck for a moment.

However, before Shinohara could continue, Ike forcibly interrupted.

“Even if you say that… I’ve been calling her that since before we started dating…”

“Then change it starting now! More importantly, Kushida-san is the girl who called me ugly in front of the class, remember? Even though she insulted your girlfriend like that, you still keep grinning around her like an idiot. Don’t you think that’s pathetic? It’s embarrassing for me!”

Eyes reddened with emotion, Shinohara shifted her glare from Ike back to Kushida.

from the chinese forum:

Shinohara kept refusing to share tokens with Kushida, saying she would hand them out just before the finish line. She also harbored intense jealousy and resentment toward Kushida. When Kushida begged her, Shinohara made her do a dogeza (prostration). Later, when Horikita contacted Kushida via radio, Kushida tried to seduce Ike, telling him that if Shinohara didn't give her any tokens when the time came, she wanted Ike to share his with her — and that she would do anything in return.

Afterwards, Ayanokōji also got Yoshida to call Kushida over to discuss the token situation. He remarked that she probably had no choice but to ask Ike for tokens now, and that Kushida currently had an expression that said she was capable of doing anything. Kushida said, "Yeah, if it comes to it, letting someone grope my chest is no big deal — at least I'd get a few tokens, right?" Ayanokōji replied, "The effect would probably be pretty outstanding." To which Kushida responded, "Though it seems that kind of secret move doesn't work on a certain someone who is nowhere to be found."

>>288261141
“How’s your leg doing?”

After that, I had Hasebe sit down on a large rock to avoid wasting unnecessary energy.

“You’ve also been constantly moving around and doing assignments, so you must’ve used up a lot of stamina too.”

“Yeah, somehow. But more importantly, are you okay, Ayanokōji-kun? …Though I guess I don’t really need to worry about that.”

“I’m managing reasonably well. What about you?”

“Who knows. I can’t really tell since I don’t know how the other groups are doing, but I think we’re hanging in there pretty well.”

At the very least, neither Hasebe nor the other students in Class A seemed particularly anxious.

A strong sea breeze blew by.
Squinting slightly, Hasebe turned her gaze toward the shimmering surface of the water.

“Do you feel guilty?”

When I asked that, Hasebe turned back toward me and paused as though thinking for a moment.

“I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel any guilt at all…”

After prefacing it that way, she continued.

“But I thought it was better than having you expelled, Ayanokōji-kun. That’s how I felt—so I can say I don’t regret it. Did my advice help?”

“Yeah, a lot. Thanks to you, I managed to avoid taking responsibility and getting expelled.”

“I see… that’s good.”

It wasn’t a forced smile.
Hasebe smiled genuinely from the heart.

“And… um… about that… could I… call you that again?”
>>
>>288260048
>>288260235
The intense hatred coming from Shinohara.

The desire to somehow make Kushida suffer.

I had deliberately guided things so those emotions would emerge.

By disrupting the discipline of Class A, it also became easier to isolate Kushida within the group.

Everything was proceeding exactly as planned.

The environment I had created.

“Did you see Ike-kun’s face when the results were announced? It was amazing.”

During the result announcement that had just taken place, both of them had looked as though they’d been struck by lightning.

Even I hadn’t known for certain which of the two would end up expelled.

“Personally, I wanted Shinohara-san to stay, but I guess it couldn’t be helped.”

It seemed Shinohara never intended to hand over the tokens she had promised Kushida.
At an early stage, she had neatly divided them up and transferred them to Ike instead.

But that decision proved fatal.

At the very end, she reluctantly handed ten tokens to Kushida, and as a result, Shinohara ended up falling below Ike.

Satsuki Shinohara, having finished in last place, was ordered to be expelled and immediately panicked.

Meanwhile, Ike completely lost control.
Sudō and the others struggled to restrain him after he started lashing out violently.

Recalling that scene, Kushida smiled as though thoroughly pleased.

“I don’t think I did anything wrong. If things had gone badly, I might’ve been the one Shinohara-san got expelled. So all I did was get my revenge.”
>>
Kiyotaka's monologue after the exam was over

-------------------------------------------------------

The ship’s horn echoed out.

It wasn’t a sound announcing the end, but a beginning.

Was it alright to think of it that way?

Would I come to know love as an ordinary high school student… and continue to grow because of it?

Could I really change?

Something dark stirred deep within the depths of my heart.

Perhaps once I fully understood these new emotions, I might someday release this hand I now held without hesitation.

What I desired was simple.

Knowledge. Experience. Memories.
I wanted to turn all of it into flesh and blood of my own.

Everything was for my sake.

I act only for myself.

Before now, and from this point onward as well.

That was something that surely would never change until the day I died.

As if that was all she wanted to say, Kushida turned lightly on her heel, looking satisfied.

“And just so you don’t misunderstand— the only reason I left Ibuki-san alone was because I didn’t think she was a threat. There’s no other reason.”

As though making it clear she didn’t want a response, she walked away.

Horikita may have grown even more suspicious, but my impression was the exact opposite.

There was no doubt that Kushida had shed another layer of herself during this incident.
No—it would be more accurate to say she had transformed dramatically.

Once Horikita learned that Kushida had exposed her true nature in front of the other classes, she would probably come to realize it too.

“There are still plenty of things I want to ask you. I’m curious about the results of your exam as well…”

“Let’s save that for another time. If necessary, I can make time for it.”

“…Right. I’ll head back to the venue. There are too many issues we can’t leave unresolved.”

Even if the class had won, that didn’t erase the fact that they had lost a classmate as the price for victory.

Not only would they need to take care of Ike, they would also have to discuss what came next.

If I returned together with Horikita, I might get dragged into unnecessary trouble, so I decided to head back a little later.

Left alone, I remained quietly on the deck.

The special exam had been full of twists and turns, but the thing lingering most vividly in my mind wasn’t Shinohara or the others.

There was only one person:

Shiina Hiyori

Right now, my thoughts were occupied only by her.

>>288265608
I'm glad the people that complained about the anime focusing on Ike got served
>Ike isn't even relevant in the upcoming volume, Ichika and Nanase are? Why focus on the unimportant characters?
Kinu is good at writing a story that spans time, small insignificant details are important and carry implications further down the line. The same student ID for example hasn't been mentioned since Y1, but I think it's going to become relevant in Y3 second semester and cause a major upset.

I find it strange that people didn't see the Hiyori x Kiyo ship coming, both Arisu and kei noted that he had a special bond with Hiyori that was more than just book buddies. Arisu was actually jealous of Hiyori, not Kei.
Since Kiyo announced that he had feelings to Hashimoto before he even made a move on Hiyori I think it's a trap for Ryuuen, or Ichinose based on her reaction to finding out. You don't just announce your crush to the premier information broker and expect him to keep quiet about it.

Also I'd like to make a prediction, the female student that instigated a fight among the first years that Horikita had to settle as Stuco President is going to be Kiyo's half-sister, most likely maternal. I think there is going to be a mirrored situation where Kiyo witnessed Horkita looking up to her brother in Y1, and now he finds himself having his own sister looking up to him in Y3.

This may be cope from my side, but I think Kinu already finished writing Cote in it's entirety. Around Y2V7, before or after, can't remember, he'd write incessantly about what a struggle it was to write due to his hernia in the afterword, but in recent volumes he hasn't mentioned it once. The afterwords also seem a bit distanced from what is happening in the volumes, like he wrote it a while ago and is coming back to write the afterword before release.
>>288266824
Hiyori isn't as interesting as Kei, Ichinose, Arisu etc so I guess they never paid attention to her. People forget that it was Hiyori who led the unanimous vote to a safe conclusion in Ryuuen's class. She's top tier in intelligence but is just generally an unassertive bookworm. Bet she'd fool the Lord of Evil in AoB if she became that series resident bookworm instead.

People knew their mutual feelings would go somewhere.
What people didn't know what that Ayanokoji was willing to do dumb stuff for the sake of feeling emotions.

My prediction: the special island exam announced for Y2V5 is going to have either Hiyori or Ichinose get expelled, same goes for Amasawa/Nanase, and Ayanokoji will be forced to pick a side on both disputes. I don't see how Y2V5 can avoid two immediate conflicts that cannot be solved without expulsion.

The more I see the recent chapters the more it feels like I am witnessing a trainwreck in the making. Like the author is just pulling drama from wherever he can, throwing out new loves and expulsions at random just for the hype as he attempts to quickly wrap this up.

Ichinose should win because that'd teach Koji about rage
Amasawa should win because she's the only rope left for the WR inside the school

The ship’s horn echoed out.

It wasn’t a sound announcing the end, but a beginning.

Was it alright to think of it that way?

Would I come to know love as an ordinary high school student… and continue to grow because of it?

Could I really change?

Something dark stirred deep within the depths of my heart.

Perhaps once I fully understood these new emotions, I might someday release this hand I now held without hesitation.

What I desired was simple.

Knowledge. Experience. Memories.
I wanted to turn all of it into flesh and blood of my own.

Everything was for my sake.

I act only for myself.

Before now, and from this point onward as well.

That was something that surely would never change until the day I died.

I have not read that volume yet
Are we positive it's her from the future talking about the certain events that happened in the future?
Or is she talking from the future about the past, how in the past she didn't know what was the future he was facing?

Whatever the case as i said here >>288269151
It's either her or no one

Dumping TLs for the Hiyori scene
1/X

-------------------------------------------------

“I never thought you would actually come…”

After a short while, those words finally returned in a quiet, restrained voice.

At the same time, the sound of waves softly breaking overlapped with her words.

The sea was calm, but if you listened closely, you could clearly hear the rhythmic sound of waves rolling in and out.

The sound of footsteps sinking into the sand echoed slightly later, then stopped a short distance behind her.

I slowly moved forward even more until I stood beside her.

The distance between us was about an arm’s length—close enough that we weren’t far apart, yet not so close that we touched. An ambiguous sort of distance.

“If that’s true, then that’s strange. Didn’t you decide to go along with Ryūen’s strategy because you expected I would come?”

“I wasn’t that confident. To begin with, this can’t really be called a strategy. It was simply the hopeless end reached by Class B after failing to find a guaranteed way to win this special exam.”

Without lowering her gaze, Hiyori continued staring as though tracing the horizon itself.

As she answered, her fingertips lightly gripped the edge of her tracksuit.

“As long as you belonged to Class B, you certainly shared part of the responsibility. But that responsibility should’ve been borne by the entire class. Or rather, the greatest responsibility should belong to Ryūen as the leader. There was no need for you to shoulder all of it alone.”

Only then did I finally look at Hiyori’s profile.

The fading sunlight softly outlined the contours of her face, while the shadows of her eyelashes fell delicately across her cheeks.
“Maybe I wanted to surrender myself to something irrational… unreasonable. I was curious what kind of feelings I’d have after making a mistake—a choice I normally never would’ve made.”

It wasn’t a lie.
I gave the answer that had first surfaced in my mind.
>>
>>288260130
Wait, is 50%man unironically in love with someone?
And he loves Hiyori or Horikita?
If it's Hiyori then ok I guess, much better than Horikita.
>>
>>288269877
2/X

--------------------------------

But the moment I said it aloud, a contradictory answer emerged from within me.

What I had just said was merely a façade, and I was forced to realize it wasn’t the real truth.

“No… that’s not it. I didn’t care about the outcome at all. I just didn’t want you to be expelled. I didn’t want to see a future where Ryūen wouldn’t save you—a future where you couldn’t be saved. I wanted to spend even one more second together with you at this school… that’s the reason I came here.”

“I’m not a particularly interesting person. Am I really worth being spoken of that way? Ayanokōji-kun has many friends.”

After answering that, Hiyori continued without moving her gaze.

“I even felt that waiting here like this was cowardly… No, I felt guilty for even thinking such a thing.”

“Cowardly?”

“Because… isn’t it? For me to make myself into the reason… to think I could possibly have enough value as a person…”

Shiina Hiyori slowly and quietly explained the emotions she was feeling now.

“…How horribly arrogant that would be. There’s no way Ayanokōji-kun would abandon his chances of winning just to come here for me.”

As though following the flow of her words, the grip on the hem of her tracksuit gradually loosened, and her fingertips slowly slipped away.
As though following the fabric swaying in the wind, she lightly gripped the hem once more.

“I’m unfair. Even so… somewhere inside, I still ended up hoping. Hoping that Ayanokōji-kun might come to see me… that you might come… to take me back…”

The completely opposing emotions she had been carrying were clashing within her.

“But you really did come… and that made me happy… yet I can’t bring myself to say that I’m happy…”

Each time her words broke off, the sound of the waves filled the silence between them.

Only that steady, rhythmic sound quietly marked the passage of time.

“What… should I do?”

I didn’t know whether I could answer that question correctly.
>>
>>288269898
3/X

----------------------------

But there was one thing I did have to say.

“Right now, I’m clearly aware of it. I’m in love with one person—Shiina Hiyori.”

Words that needed to be conveyed.

Words that had to be said.

Yet the moment they left my mouth, I felt a faint dryness in my throat.

It wasn’t simply because I had exhausted myself hurrying all the way here.

It was the weight of turning those feelings into words.
And the reality that the answer returned to me would not necessarily be the one I hoped for.
Right now, I was being swept away by emotions I was experiencing for the very first time.

Hiyori turned her face toward me.

Her hair, flowing in the wind, lifted for just an instant, and with that motion her gaze settled on me.

A slight delay later, we were fully facing each other.

“I’m sorry…”

She apologized.

“I’m truly sorry…”

She apologized once more.

“I… I also… love you too, Ayanokōji-kun…”

Shiina Hiyori’s apology was for using the feelings of the person she cared about.

After saying those words, she kept looking directly at me without averting her gaze, her chest rising and falling slightly as though steadying her breathing.

No more words were necessary.

I operated my wristwatch and transferred the tokens I had brought to Hiyori.

Then, with my right hand, I gently took hold of her left hand, and together we gazed out at the sea.

The instant our hands touched, her fingertips tightened ever so slightly around mine.

The strength quickly faded, yet that fleeting movement—and its warmth—remained clearly behind.
The ship’s horn echoed out.

It wasn’t a sound announcing the end, but a beginning.

Was it alright to think of it that way?

Would I come to know love as an ordinary high school student… and continue to grow because of it?

Could I really change?

Something dark stirred deep within the depths of my heart.

>>
>>288270613
It makes sense in a way. 50%man's desire in coming to the school was to have an ordinary school life. Out of all the heroines, Hiyori fit that sort of life to a tee. Until Year 3, Hiyori's been pretty passive about the whole class competitioin thing, so 50% could just go to her and do about the only thing he liked doing in the White Room: read books. I mean, Hiyori isn't my favorite, but I can see the vision. Every other heroine is either too tied with the class competition thing or has something that doesn't jive with his normal school life desire.
>>
>>288270639
look I know you people like to joke about that but it might actually happen now that I've given it some though
because hiyori getting expelled would make ayanokoji sad, probably
ayanokoji just ruined the trust he had with his class, meaning he'll be almost alone in the next exam while everyone targets hiyori
ichika doesn't care about who ayanokoji is sleeping with, she only cares about his happiness as per volume 1 of this 3rd year

>"It's going to be an interesting fight for all the third-year senpai. Well, I need to get serious about that side of things too, to make Ayanokouji-senpai happy."

>>288270613
Hiyori’s like my third favorite girl but I don’t mind this at all. I just hope Kinu doesn’t fumble the execution especially after how he made it clear Kiyotaka sees her as a home (a place he can feel comfortable in).
It just looks bad now since he’s currently self destructing and everyone and their mother knows she’s his precious weakness.

we're a whole year worth of LN volumes after her introduction and people are still believing everything ichika tells people she distrusts
nobody actually knows what she really wants, why would she tell nanase of all people anything truthful
that line I quoted was ichika talking to herself so it's unlikely that she's lying about wanting ayanokoji to be happy
she is completely obsessed with him after all

if there's a chance that ayanokoji actually cares about hiyori then there's also a chance that he'd be sad if she got expelled
and that'd be where ichika comes into the equation
why would the next special exam include all 3 years if only the 3rd year characters mattered to the plot

But now with all this talk about Amasawa's father trying to sell her off to potential WR-esque organizations abroad and Nanase working for an anti-WR faction things are getting complicated.
Amasawa's situation is going to shit really fast.
1 - We know Atsuomi is planning to use Yagami as a bargaining chip to make her obey him for once.
2 - We now know Amasawa wants to go back to the WR but she wants to overthrow Atsuomi with Koji.
3 - We now know has made an oath with herself that she'd serve Koji for her entire life.
4 - We now know her own father trying to sell her off to WR rivals
5 - We now know Nanase offered her freedom if she abandons the WR, and Koji, entirely.
6 - We know that Koji will eventually get involved in all this.

So yeah I'd say this level of involvement is quite unprecedented for any character that's not Koji or his father. Kinusaga is a cunt for keeping the most interesting parts of his story confined to one or two chapters per volume.

Amasawa and Nanase TL dump
1/X

------------------------------------

“I intend to do everything I can to prevent that from happening, but I don’t know what the outcome will be.”

Along with Ayanokōji’s overwhelmingly superior abilities, there was also the information held by the White Room side.
Amasawa inferred that Nanase believed she herself might not make it through safely depending on how those factors combined.

“Sorry, but rotten as I may be, I’m still a White Room student. I’ve lived my life taking pride in that, and honestly, I still have lingering attachment to it. I don’t dislike Nanase-chan, but personally, I want to support the future senpai desires. Helping sensei is my true role, after all.”

What Nanase was trying to do amounted to twisting Ayanokōji’s future in a completely different direction.

Since she couldn’t determine whether that was truly right or wrong, there was no option for her except refusal.

“What is your dream? To return to the White Room together with Ayanokōji-senpai?”

“And if it is? Got a problem with that?”

Of course, she already understood that such a dream would likely never come true.

Amasawa had already been branded a failure by the White Room.

Even so, she smiled toward Nanase as though to say she was still free to dream about it.

“I understand your feelings. However, miracles do not happen. It’s a wish with a zero percent chance of coming true. No matter what achievements you accomplish, a bright future will not be waiting for you.”

“And how can you say that so confidently? Maybe I’ll awaken some incredible power from here on out.”

“This goes beyond mere ability. Do you know what your father is thinking right now?”

“My father? Sorry, but I’m completely uninterested in that kind of thing. Isn’t that unrelated?”
“What matters isn’t your opinion, but the fact that the ownership rights of Amasawa-san belong to your father.”

Nanase took back the phone she had handed over to Amasawa and began operating it.

-------------------------

“So a parent I’ve never even met in my life suddenly wants to interfere—”

“We already understand that you’re not someone your father can control. And because he understands that too, he’s been maintaining close contact with the White Room side while making preparations.”

As Nanase spoke quietly and matter-of-factly, the smile gradually disappeared from Amasawa’s face.

“Re-education? Discipline? Whatever kind of future it is, bring it on.”

“If you’re truly prepared for that, then fine. However, his company is currently cornered due to discovered misconduct and severe financial difficulties. It seems there are people overseas offering large sums to purchase attractive young women, and he’s apparently scrambling to decide where to hand you over.”

Displayed on the scrolling screen was information about a man believed to be Amasawa’s father—his appearance and profile.

“So since I’m defective now, they’re just gonna sell me off? Hilarious.”

Whether it was true or false didn’t matter.
Amasawa clapped her hands and laughed as though she found it amusing.

But her eyes weren’t smiling.

It was as if she had just been told she didn’t even have the right to dream about a future anymore.

“If you cooperate with me, I may be able to save you.”

As Nanase continued sliding through the information, the screen switched to pages written in English.

There were also details suggesting the kind of contacts currently being made.

Where she might end up, and the living hell awaiting her there—something so horrific it was difficult even to put into words.
Whether it was the truth or a lie didn’t matter.

But her eyes were no longer smiling.

It was as though even her right to dream about a future had been denied.

“If you cooperate with me, I may be able to save you.”

>>288273904
3/X

------------------------

As Nanase continued sliding through the information, the screen switched to pages written in English.

“Whoa, there’s even a price attached to me. Feels like you could buy anything with this.”

“From an ordinary person’s perspective, perhaps. But to President Amasawa, it’s little more than a drop in the bucket.”

Over and over, Amasawa found herself thinking about her own life—one where she couldn’t even determine what was true and what was false.

However, one thing alone was certain.

The future being shown to her offered absolutely no salvation.

“If we succeed in changing Ayanokōji-senpai’s heart, then after graduation, you too will be placed under thorough protection just like him, Amasawa-san. If that happens, you’ll finally be able to begin a life that belongs solely to you.”

In other words, she would be allowed to stand at the starting line as a real individual.

“…Can something like that really happen?”

“It can. Certainly, Ayanokōji Atsuomi is an influential man with ties to underground organizations. However, the faction backing us is large enough to swallow that influence whole. Even you can imagine that much, right?”

“Well… if they seriously intended to protect me, then maybe.”

Amasawa didn’t simply swallow those sweet words whole.

Someone with value on the level of Kiyotaka Ayanokōji might truly be protected as Nanase claimed.

But there was no guarantee she herself would receive the same protection.

Nor did she believe she possessed that kind of value.

“Can you give me a little time to think about it?”

“Of course. I’ll be waiting for a favorable answer.”

Koenji and Meiyu
1/X

-------------------------------------

Just as Katsuragi was about to press closer toward me, an unexpected intruder appeared.

“So you showed up from a rather strange place. Don’t tell me you were watching all this?”

When Katsuragi turned around and asked that, Kōenji brushed back his hair and gave a fearless smile.

“I thought it would be rude to interrupt, so I waited.”

“You seem to be alone. Where are the other members of your group?”

“I do prefer acting alone, you see. I imagine it’ll still take a little while before the rest of the group arrives.”

Answering casually, Kōenji walked past Katsuragi and moved directly in front of Mii-chan.

“Sorry, but I’d like you to hear me out for a moment. Would that be alright?”

As he said that, he gently extended his arm as though escorting her.

“W-What is it?”

“It’s nothing much. Let’s take a little walk”

Inviting Mii-chan like that just before reaching the goal, he led her away to a secluded spot.

“What’s with that guy…”

Sanoda tilted his head in confusion.

After moving to a place where others wouldn’t overhear them, Kōenji lightly guided Mii-chan back against a large tree.

“Show me your wristwatch.”

After briefly glancing in my direction, Kōenji said that quietly.

“U-Um? What do you mean?”

“I mean the number of tokens you currently possess. I’d like to know exactly how many you have. Of course, if there’s some reason you can’t show me, that’s another matter.”

“N-No, um, yes… that’s fine, but…”
>>
>>288274323
2/2

-----------------------------------

Unable to understand the meaning behind Kōenji’s actions, Mii-chan looked confused as she operated her wristwatch.

She entered her passcode and displayed the number of tokens she possessed.

“Hm. It seems you’ve steadily accumulated quite a few tokens. However, it’s best to be extra cautious. Considering the multipliers, you’re still within the danger zone.”

As he said that, Kōenji operated his own wristwatch and made a transfer of tokens.

Both Kōenji’s and Mii-chan’s wristwatches sounded simultaneously.

“W-Whaaat!? T-This many… seriously!?”

“There’s no need to make such a fuss. Think of it simply as insurance from me. However, it would trouble me if you handed them over to anyone else.”

Saying that, Kōenji pulled her along and entered the goal area.

Still bewildered, Mii-chan followed as Kōenji flashed a bright grin, and together they finalized their goal.

“What the hell was that just now?”

The entire group was utterly unable to understand the situation.

However, there was first the matter of explaining things to Katsuragi—and then dealing with what came next.

That would have to take priority for now.

Ayanokoji and Horikita post-exam conversation
1/X

-----------------------------------------

The students had already withdrawn from the deserted island, and the ship was now sailing across the ocean.

I had laid the groundwork to make the entire group believe that Ibuki was the target all along.

Then there was the widening gap in token counts caused by Katsuragi’s so-called “fairness,” which in reality amounted to cold treatment.

And finally, there were Ibuki’s genuine emotions—her anger and impatience, born from knowing nothing.

Watching all of that unfold up close, Shinohara and Ike came to a conclusion:

As long as they stayed above her, there was absolutely no way they themselves would be expelled.

What mattered was a benchmark that guaranteed survival.

Not the number of tokens held by the decoy, Ibuki, but the token counts publicly shared with the entire group—the real targets were the amounts held by Shinohara and Ike.

“I did feel like Ibuki-san had earned more tokens than expected. There were students whose actual holdings were lower than the numbers that had been reported…”

Shinohara and Ike themselves had earned relatively few tokens individually, but they also possessed the pooled tokens absorbed from Kushida.

Even split evenly in half, those still became additional stacked tokens for them.

“Adjusting all of that must’ve been troublesome.”

While acknowledging the effort involved, I explained to Horikita what had happened near the end.

As the final day approached its conclusion, Shinohara and the others began imagining something:

If it was Ayanokōji, then maybe he had already made some kind of move.

Until the moment everyone reached the goal and transfers became impossible, they kept watch to prevent Katsuragi and the others from making contact.

But their suspicions still didn’t disappear.

Were the tokens Ibuki possessed really lower than theirs?

They wanted somehow to confirm the true numbers being held.
>>
>>288274350
2/X

-----------------------

To make sure there was no deception in the token counts displayed on the wristwatches…
There was no way to fake the display, making it the only method of seeing the exact token count with complete certainty.

That was why no tokens could be transferred to Ibuki until the very last possible moment.

The plan prepared by Ayanokōji and the others was layered in two stages:
Ibuki would be the one expelled, and even if something unexpected happened, Kushida would become the fallback expulsion candidate.

As the goal drew closer, both Katsuragi and I sensed that the timing for saving Ibuki would become extremely delicate.

We had run through several simulations beforehand.

Everything depended on how Shinohara and the others would act.

In that situation, the main plan had been to have Yoshida—who had been stationed near the goal—quietly make contact with Ibuki and secretly transfer tokens to her.

If that proved impossible, then the backup would be to pick some kind of quarrel with Ibuki and prevent her from reaching the goal in order to buy time.

And among the contingency options, there had also been the possibility of using Kushida as a backup plan.

However, because the unexpected event occurred where Ibuki insisted on punching me, Sanada—who had already been sharing information with me—was quickly sent toward Yoshida to explain the situation.

Including the tokens Katsuragi had received from Ibuki, enough tokens were transferred to ensure she would survive.

“So you were prepared for me retaliating while giving advice to Shinohara and the others, huh?”

“Yes… I told them that Ibuki-san being cornered was exactly what you wanted, Ayanokōji-kun. And depending on how things developed, the target could just as easily shift toward Shinohara-san and the others…”

“You weren’t wrong to contact Shinohara. You managed to see through the possibility that my attempt to expel Ibuki was actually a bluff.”
>>
>>288274364
3/X

--------------------------

“It just felt strange to me. Even if Katsuragi-kun said he intended to expel Ibuki-san, I couldn’t imagine him accepting something like that unconditionally. Nor could I imagine him moving ahead on his own while ignoring Ryūen-kun. So then…”
…that maybe they’d been told someone from another class would be expelled instead. Once I started thinking that way, the most likely target became our class. That’s why I repeatedly told Shinohara-san and the others to pay close attention to Ibuki-san’s token count and confirm it if possible.”

“In reality, Shinohara handled it surprisingly well despite her forceful approach. She did manage to confirm the numbers themselves.”

“But… in the end, I still couldn’t protect her. I didn’t want anyone to get expelled… even though I truly felt that way… things just don’t work out so neatly.”

“The presence of Ichinose in the same group was unavoidable. Being able to smoothly establish cooperation, while also uniting everyone around the goal of placing highly as a group, was a major advantage. On top of that, having the leader’s group receive substantial rewards created an even greater synergistic effect.”

“However, this special exam had a dual nature. Reaching the goal quickly was advantageous for winning, but if you considered the possibility of losing, then reaching the goal later became more advantageous instead. Achieving both at once wasn’t easy.”

Since reaching the goal only required a majority of the group, Horikita technically could have chosen not to cross the goal line herself while holding onto the phone.

But there were limits to what one person alone could manage.

More than anything, she probably also didn’t want to lose even a single token.

“If I had personally led Shinohara-san and the others directly to the goal, maybe the situation could’ve changed.”
>>
>>288274373
4/X

-------------------

“Maybe. But in the end, changing who got expelled would never have been simple. The moment you help one person, some unseen someone else becomes the next one pushed into last place. From that situation onward, shifting into a structure that could protect both Class with 100% certainty was practically impossible.”
“…You’re right. because after that, there’s no way of knowing which class—or which person—would become the sacrifice instead…”

If there was one truly fatal flaw, it was probably that everyone had been forced to fight on the stage I had prepared.

Everything had revolved around Group 3, and the physical distance between groups became a major constraint.

“If it was you, couldn’t you have targeted Kushida-san or Wang-san instead? From our class’s perspective, losing them would’ve been a much greater blow. So why didn’t you?”

“I simply chose the easiest targets to eliminate.”

That was my answer, but the real reason was different.

As for Kushida, I had only made her appear to be an expulsion candidate. From the very beginning, I had no intention of removing her.

At the very least, she was incomparably more capable than Shinohara or Ike, and Mii-chan was also sufficiently useful.

Furthermore, another possible role for Kushida had newly begun to emerge.

What mattered to me was also developing Class A.

If too many side branches grew freely, the plant itself would spread wider, but the fruit it bore would become smaller.

That was exactly why, within Class A, it was necessary to carefully choose which individual branches should truly be cultivated.

“If you want to blame someone, blame me instead of yourself.”

Just after saying that, I sensed someone approaching from behind.

“I think that’s a little different, don’t you?”

“The one who decided the expulsion wasn’t Ayanokōji-kun.”
>>
>>288274388
5/X

--------------

Perhaps she had seen us stepping out onto the deck, because the person emerging from the darkness was Kushida.

Since I had already noticed she was eavesdropping, her appearance didn’t surprise me.
“I could’ve simply kept the tokens Sanada-kun gave me and crossed the goal with them myself. If I had done that, the one who’d have been expelled would’ve been Wang-san, after all.”

Kushida voluntarily revealed the events that had taken place behind the scenes—things she had originally thought didn’t need to be mentioned.

The intense hatred coming from Shinohara.

The desire to somehow make Kushida suffer.

I had deliberately guided things so those emotions would emerge.

By disrupting the discipline of Class A, it also became easier to isolate Kushida within the group.

Everything was proceeding exactly as planned.

The environment I had created.

“Did you see Ike-kun’s face when the results were announced? It was amazing.”

During the result announcement that had just taken place, both of them had looked as though they’d been struck by lightning.

Even I hadn’t known for certain which of the two would end up expelled.

“Personally, I wanted Shinohara-san to stay, but I guess it couldn’t be helped.”

It seemed Shinohara never intended to hand over the tokens she had promised Kushida.
At an early stage, she had neatly divided them up and transferred them to Ike instead.

But that decision proved fatal.

At the very end, she reluctantly handed ten tokens to Kushida, and as a result, Shinohara ended up falling below Ike.

Satsuki Shinohara, having finished in last place, was ordered to be expelled and immediately panicked.

Meanwhile, Ike completely lost control.
Sudō and the others struggled to restrain him after he started lashing out violently.
>>
>>288274398
6/6

---------------

Recalling that scene, Kushida smiled as though thoroughly pleased.

“I don’t think I did anything wrong. If things had gone badly, I might’ve been the one Shinohara-san got expelled. So all I did was get my revenge.”
As if that was all she wanted to say, Kushida turned lightly on her heel, looking satisfied.

“And just so you don’t misunderstand— the only reason I left Ibuki-san alone was because I didn’t think she was a threat. There’s no other reason.”

As though making it clear she didn’t want a response, she walked away.

Horikita may have grown even more suspicious, but my impression was the exact opposite.

There was no doubt that Kushida had shed another layer of herself during this incident.
No—it would be more accurate to say she had transformed dramatically.

Once Horikita learned that Kushida had exposed her true nature in front of the other classes, she would probably come to realize it too.

“There are still plenty of things I want to ask you. I’m curious about the results of your exam as well…”

“Let’s save that for another time. If necessary, I can make time for it.”

“…Right. I’ll head back to the venue. There are too many issues we can’t leave unresolved.”

Even if the class had won, that didn’t erase the fact that they had lost a classmate as the price for victory.

Not only would they need to take care of Ike, they would also have to discuss what came next.

If I returned together with Horikita, I might get dragged into unnecessary trouble, so I decided to head back a little later.

Left alone, I remained quietly on the deck.

The special exam had been full of twists and turns, but the thing lingering most vividly in my mind wasn’t Shinohara or the others.

There was only one person:

Shiina Hiyori

Right now, my thoughts were occupied only by her.

>Afterword

It’s been half a year. This is Kinugasa.

I’ve continued writing while taking care of my health, and thanks to that, I’ve been recovering steadily and have been able to properly dedicate time to work again.

Now then, a little about the main story. In the previous two school years, the first semester always ended with Volume 4, and then moved on to Volume 4.5 as usual. However, in the third-year arc this time, Volume 5 will begin on the return ship. I think it’ll become a story involving the first-year and second-year underclassmen as well. We’re aiming for an October release next. I’ll do my best!

A small side note: deciding who gets to be on each volume’s cover was actually something I struggled with quite a bit until midway through the second-year arc, and sometimes it stayed undecided until the very last minute. But for this third-year arc, the covers have actually already been decided far ahead in advance. Some unexpected characters are planned to appear on future covers a few volumes from now, so when you see them and think “Oh?”, please remember this little comment.

Also, the anime is currently airing, so please check it out as well.
It has become a source of motivation for my writing, and I look forward to it every week.

And this time, although it’s unrelated to Classroom of the Elite, I have an unusual announcement to make.
“It has been decided that I’ll be releasing a new work this September!”

This time as well, I’ll be teaming up with Tomose-san. I treated him very well recently, so I’m sure he’ll work hard on the illustrations for this one too.

Wrong, 50% straight up said Hiyori was his first love
>>
>>288279643
To those of you thinking, “Wait, wasn’t your health bad?”
Yes, actually, this work was something I had been writing little by little for a very long time. Ideally, I wanted to announce and release it much earlier, but due to health issues dragging things out, it ended up taking this long.

(If you look back at older afterwords, you might notice some subtle hints about it.)

This work is something that carries very deep personal significance for me.
I hope I’ll get a chance to talk about those circumstances somewhere else someday.

Thank you very much for your continued support.

Well then, let’s meet again sometime later this year. Everyone, please take care of your health!

some theories that are being posted in chink forums
tsukihiro is a spy from another faction working in the white room
he recruited nanase and now he's trying to steal amasawa from ayanokoji's dad because she's the first success case of social engineering among white room students
the story about amasawa's dad selling her off is probably a lie
the goal is to strip the white room of their future leaders and then block ayanokoji's dad politically, leaving the white room with no choice but to be absorbed and taken over
ishigami and tsubaki are working for ayanokoji's dad, they want him and amasawa to return to the white room after graduation
amasawa only wants to return to the white room if ayanokoji comes with her and he assumes the position of leadership
ayanokoji has already accepted that he will return after graduation
amasawa will believe the story nanase told her and try to make ayanokoji defect with her

This is the dumbest, most forced and most contrived plot "twist" in the entire novel.

International human trafficking are you fucking kidding me, did the retard really write this and told himself that it was a good way to revive the white room plot?

He picked a fan favorite character too, to sell more volumes I bet.

Fucking retarded I can't with this.

that's not as fat fetched as you think bro. Her father is an ass, in volume 0 he was going around impregnating girls and sending the children they did not want to abort to the WR so he could get ride of them.

Ayano's dad also made a career killing people left and right, and doing the dirty work for politicians. Plus he had contanct with the Yakuza and other gangs.

we should not be surprised if Ichika's father, after getting fked deep in dept, decides to be a dick and he sells her very talented daughter to be used by criminals at a high price.

How is Ike's voice grating? Genuinely curious what do people think.

For a story where the worst that can happen - and has happened - to any of the young characters is expulsion a sudden rape/death threat feels completely uninvited.

It's a massive escalation in stakes and consequences and has no place in an otherwise mundane high school setting.

To me it's looking like a White Room ending more and more. Assuming Nanase isn't bluffing then the only way for Ayano to save Ichika is to return to the White Room on the condition that Ichika comes with him.
Again, assuming Nanase isn't full of shit, Ayano not returning and living his life however he wants is a good ending for his character. And that's not what Horikita said his ending was going to be like.

So Hiyori is his girlfriend now, right? The last scene was them walking away holding hands as Ichinose was seething.
She's certainly becoming a target, as everyone would wonder why the hell Ayanokoji threw the last exam. Would be better for her if he's actually forced to protect her out in the open.

Kikyo Kushida Bonus Story (SS): Despite the Suspicion

1/3

I moved quickly to solidify my footing in the third group. As always, dinner on the first day of the special exam was the perfect chance to befriend girls from other classes and build smooth relationships.

However, my plan was promptly disrupted by that guy showing up.

"Mind if I join you?"

The speaker was completely unexpected—Ayanokouji. A boy suddenly butting into a group of girls.

Even if he had no ill intentions, I still found it incredibly annoying. Not to mention the Class D girls were right there, which made it even worse. Those rumors had already reached my ears. Apparently, Class D's leader, Ichinose, has feelings for Ayanokouji. I didn't want any harmful misunderstandings about our relationship getting back to Ichinose through one of her close associates—Amikura.

But since she'd already shown interest, I had no choice but to force a polite response while wearing this feminine mask of mine. I cheerfully agreed, then quickly moved away to put some distance between myself and the other girls.

"What is it, Ayanokouji-kun?"

I asked, wanting to figure out why he'd suddenly called me over.

"Didn't you say you wanted to discuss some things we need to do starting tomorrow?"

This guy's words are always half-truths, putting me instinctively on guard. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if he was scheming to ruin all my efforts.

"I never said that... and besides, with your abilities, you don't need my help at all. What a pain..."

"Is that so? I thought that as long as you showed your usefulness within the group, it'd satisfy that desperate need for recognition and performance you have, Kushida."

[...]
>>
>>288296536

2/3

He replied with his usual expressionless face. That really pissed me off, but for some reason, even so, my loathing for him no longer ran as deep as it used to. Even though during the special exam he was someone I genuinely wanted to erase completely.

"Don't make me laugh. Still, it's fine. If I were being praised like this in front of Shinohara and the others who already know my true nature, do you realize how pathetic that would be? They'd just keep mocking me."

Seeing his attitude, I had a pretty good idea of what would come next.

"I know that Shinohara-san and Ike-kun are just a bunch of useless garbage too..."

I muttered dejectedly, as if being assigned to the same group as those two incompetents had been unavoidable.

"Anyway, you seem to be doing quite well in your new class, Ayanokouji-kun."

"With Sakayanagi gone, I don't have much choice, do I? Even without me, things should be fine."

"Sounds just wonderful, doesn't it?"

"You seem to have something on your mind. If there's something you want to ask, just ask."

"I don't have anything to ask."

That's what I thought, but then something that had been bothering me suddenly surfaced.

"There have sure been a lot of rumors about you lately, Ayanokouji-kun. I don't think all of them are true, but plenty of people from Class D keep spreading them to other classes."

Like how Ichinose has feelings for Ayanokouji. Like how maybe something happened between them, bringing them closer. It's absolute nonsense. Still, ever since I heard about it, I've been inexplicably irritated. Talking about this won't change a thing; it only adds to my burden.

"But..."

[...]
>>
>>288296548

3/3

Thinking about it further would only make me more uncomfortable, so I decided to change the subject.

"How should I put it... letting others know my true self always backfires, but... having an honest talk like this once in a while sometimes makes me feel so much more at ease, so much freer."

And with that as my excuse, I ended the conversation and prepared to leave.

"Alright, I'm heading back to the girls. I really don't want to attract any more unnecessary attention, especially from Shinohara."

"It must be tough, living a double life."

Even though it's none of his business, I didn't want him to just casually say it like that.

"You're only just realizing that now?"

For my own sake, I continue to wear this mask.

But lately, I've started to wonder.

How long will this go on?

Until my school life ends? Until I step into society? Until I get married? Or until I'm buried three feet beneath the yellow earth?

This mask—just how much longer do I have to keep wearing it?
