COTE: A Man On A Mission II Love is War?

So as long as you collect all the points, you can finally graduate from Class A.

He has already thought of a way to obtain 20 million.

Therefore, even if class evaluation scores of Class D now return to 0, and there is no living allowance for the next month. It doesn't matter to him.

But now he feels a little pressure.
　　
'Because there are some stupid classmates around me, if I were really voted out by these people as a dropout, and then expelled...'

'It would be really disgusting.' The excellent Koenji Rokusuke will become a laughing stock.

"I also hope that everyone will be here when we are promoted to third grade." Hachiman continued.
　　
"After all, it is not easy to get into this school. We did a lot of hard work, and then stood out among more than a thousand people who were exempted from the exam."
　　
This is a bit exaggerated, but it is not a lie.
　　
The students in the class thought about their own written examinations and interviews before admission.

Although the principal approached them and said that they could apply for this high school that all junior high school students aspire to, they also saw many candidates before the interview and written examination for admission.

Therefore, they were almost selected among thousands of troops.
　　
And then came here. So, why do they want to drop out of school so easily?
　　
"..." And Koenji's left hand rested on the table. Suddenly, he raised his head and said.
　　
"My physical fitness is excellent and my academic ability is not bad either. If you really want to drop out of school, I suggest that you drop out those people who are useless to the class." Koenji said such things, obviously trying to fool these morons.

'In other words, I am very useful, right?' "Koenji-kun, don't worry, we will never give up on any of our companions!" Hirata's mother quickly comforted him.

"..." But he had already picked up the mirror again. It seems that Koenji no longer cares.
　　
But there was still a gaze on him. This is Chabashira Sae.
　　
She watched the development of Class D. As the head teacher, she knows this class of students better than anyone else.
　　
For example, the information about Rokusuke of Koenji Conglomerate has emerged in her mind.
　　
That's how it's described in the file.

　　[Koenji Rokusuke
　　The student has extraordinary intelligence, has motor skills comparable to those of athletes, and his family is also extremely famous.

Although he is a student with extremely exaggerated statistics in all aspects, his personality is narcissistic and conceited.

　　During the interview, he was rude to the interviewer several times. In the end, it was discovered that he did not have the ability to work together and he was assigned to Class D.

　　I hope he can understand the meaning of unity and cooperation. And can be improved. ]

In other words, the problem of Koenji Rokusuke being assigned to Class D is mainly due to the interviewer’s subjective thoughts and Kogenji’s unwillingness to cooperate.

Of course, excellent family background.
　　
And it is said that he is the only son of the Koenji chaebol, so he was born with a golden spoon.

Then the so-called team must ultimately serve him.
　　
So, as long as he can use people instead of cooperating with others, there'll be no problem.
　　
Therefore, even if the opponent's abilities are off the charts, Chabashira doesn't think he can be driven.
　　
But now, Koenji has learned how to [cooperate]. Chabashira felt a little surprised.
　　
However, she decided to continue to give the stage to the dead fish-eyed boy who surprised her.

____________

Agreement for Class D, First Grade.
　　
1. All students in Class D will continue to take the behavioral standards test this month, with the goal of obtaining a class evaluation score of 400 points or above.
　　
2. If you finally get a class evaluation score of 400 or more, everyone will be happy.
　　
3. If the score obtained is below the 400-point class evaluation score, points paid to the class teacher will be used to inquire about the specific circumstances of the deduction.

(The one Hikigaya mentioned 10,000 points, which has already been paid to the teacher)

The three students with the most points deducted will pay 100,000 as class fees (installment repayment is allowed).

4. If the whole class can achieve 400 points + class evaluation score, then in the next special examination, if there is a possibility of dropping out, the whole class will help each other to ensure the safety of this student.

__________
　
"So, your class signed such a clause?"
came the sweet voice of a cute girl.
　　
This is a private room on the third floor of the cafeteria.
　　
Hachiman was invited by a silver-haired girl, more specifically her Kamuro classmate, who was guarding the corridor outside his classroom.

Then after discovering that he was alone, she brought him over directly.

But Hachiman also gave the other party a message. 'My first-grade class D is ready to continue taking the exam.'
　　
In other words, by signing an agreement, all rewards and punishments are applied to ensure restraint.
　　
The code of conduct assessment is not a test of students’ intelligence or academic ability. It is an assessment of student's self-discipline ability.
　　
Therefore, as long as self-discipline is ensured, points will no longer be deducted.
　　
Maybe they can do this like the students in Class A.
　　
'Will the students just follow it well?
After all, they are students in Class D....'
　　
Just being able to sit down and sign this agreement also shows that the students in Class D have a certain determination.
　　
Therefore, it is surprising even to find the determination of Class D students.
　　
After all, 500 points in 5 days, this ability to deduct points even surprised past seniors!
　　
Then you actually want to challenge for 25 days and only deduct less than 80 points?
　　
Although the content of the assessment is almost what a good student should do, it is not about doing questions or forcing students to answer questions in class.
　　
But if all 40 students are individuals who can have points deducted, a strong binding force is needed.
　　
"This is indeed an agreement with achievements." Sakayanagi praised the other party for this thinking,  "But I'm curious, are the students in your class so easy to control?"

'Of course, they are not!' From Horikita, Hachiman, to Koenji and Hirata, four people exploded one after another just to reach this agreement.

It makes people think that there is a gathering of heroes, but it is actually a meeting of carrots.

Because this problem does not occur in other classes. For example, Class A has only deducted 4 points for 6 days, and Class B is probably reflecting on it and feels that it can no longer relax.
　　
So, the atmosphere in other classes is much better.
　　
It's not like Class D, just to save some class evaluation points as much as possible, it will turn into a war.
　　
"It's difficult to just talk, so I chose this," Hachiman said. Then he picked up the phone and showed the screen of the phone to Sakayanagi Arisu.

That is the interface of the school forum.

[Which window in the cafeteria offers the worst free meals? ] by Hikigaya Hachiman.
　
And when she clicks in, she will find that the senior has replied to him.
　　
[Make it clear that you should never go to window 3. The free meal there today is terrible. ]

"The students in my class and I went to window 3 to get free meals and then sent them to class." Hachiman said.

"One serving for each person. Then everyone felt that it tasted so bad. If you ate it every day, you would go crazy."

"If you don't have points, the school also provides relief food, but the taste is very bad and even cold."
　　
"Although there is an option to buy a microwave and heat it up, for people who really don't have the money, a microwave is not affordable."

"I directly let them experience such a meal for themselves, and then everyone became bound."
　　
"After all, it is easier to endure hardship for one month than it may be for the next three years." Hachiman said, looking quite tired.
　　
"Oh." Sakayanagi understood. So that's why, when he was invited over, the boy just watched her eat.

'I thought he had awakened some fetish, but it turned out that Hikigaya-kun had already eaten....' She reflected on herself.
　　
Because class D’s dinner today is a free mountain and vegetable set meal.
　　
When getting information about this school, Sakayanagi also knew about the free relief project, and Katsuragi even went to try it out.
　　
But she didn’t even look at it.
　　
After all, she was born into a well-off family and was admitted as a student in Class A. It was impossible for her to be reduced to that.

However, occasionally browsing the school forum, you will find that the seniors in the lower classes have also done research and development on these things.
　　
For example, raising funds to buy a microwave oven, or if the salt in the meal does not taste enough, go to a convenience store to buy salt yourself.
　　
If the food is too salty, use water to reduce the salt taste.
　　
These are some common sense of life.

__________

"Um... is Hikigaya-kun here?"
　　
At this time, a blond-haired boy appeared at the door of the box.
　　
The golden hair has a hint of green. But the whole person gives people the feeling of a pretty sunny boy.
　　
And this is the little sun-like figure from Class D, Hirata’s mother.
　　
"This is a classmate of mine, his name is Hirata Yo..." Hachiman was about to introduce him.

"This is unnecessary." But Sakayanagi refused directly. As the representative of Class A, students from Class D could not attract her attention.

Rather, if it weren't for Kushida-san and Hikigaya's own performance when she entered school, she might not have interacted with him.

Only.
　　
It is undeniable that she has been absent from school due to health reasons, so she has been longing for campus life in her heart.
　　
I had too high expectations for this school at the beginning, so after discovering the essence of the school, I was in Class A without any pressure at the beginning.
　　
Sakayanagi's interest waned.
　　
But now, because of Hikigaya, even the class competition, which I was not interested in at first, has become slightly more interesting.
　　
She was a little curious that Hikigaya wanted to use such a scattered class as a weapon.
　　
Then he declared war on her. She wanted to see how far he could go.
　　
But. At least, she won't be defeated.
　　
Although she looks sweet and cute, Sakayanagi Arisu is now full of attack power.
　　...

And Hirata, who was not introduced, has already taken the initiative to step forward.
　　
"Can you lend me Hikigaya-kun?" Hirata-san said.
　　
As a person with a high IQ and EQ, Hirata seemed very polite when he found Hachiman with girls from other classes.
　　
But this politeness is not used in the right place.
　　
"Please feel free to do so," Sakayanagi said, politely.

"But please don't get me wrong. After all, Hikigaya-kun and I are not familiar with each other!" She gently shook her head, and said with a tsundere attitude.

Then, probably after finishing her meal, she looked quite elegant, grabbed her cane and left.
　　
Masumi Kamuro, who had been staying aside, followed her even though she was reluctant.
　　
But Kamuro-san’s eyes were fixed on Sakayanagi’s back.
　　
Because she wanted to refute what this girl just said. 'Are Sakayanagi and Hikigaya really not familiar with each other?'
　　
'Obviously before, you were complaining that Hikigaya-kun should pay for a meal with you and even for the private room...but then you didn't even ask any points for the Yangzhi nectar you just served him?'

And boys are really scary creatures. 'Don’t you feel embarrassed if you ask a girl to treat you?'

Because Sakayanagi left but the private room was still there, Hirata sat down.
　　
This is a bit stressful.
　　
Hachiman didn't think there was anything strange when he sat across from Loli Sakayanagi.
　　
'I even think the other person is cute when she eats. But, what are two boys doing in a private room together?...
　　
Something always feels wrong.
　　
"Hikigaya-kun" But Hirata looked straight at him, very emotional.
　　
Um. This Hirata classmate took the initiative to help him today and prevented Hachiman from being attacked by the idiots in the class.

Hachiman still remembered this favor.
　　
"You and Horikita-san hope to be promoted to Class A, right?" Hirata-san said after sitting down.
　　
OK. This person, like Koenji, saw through the reason why Hachiman and Horikita were trying hard to ask their classmates to save their class evaluation points this month.

It's for promotion to Class A. Only.
　　
"I also hope to be promoted to Class A with everyone, so if I can help, I will definitely assist." Hirata said with a smile.

"As for discussions like today, I hope you can talk to me for a while before doing it. I will try my best to cooperate with you."

That's what he said.

Hirata's statement is reasonable, and he is also very smart and understands the positioning of some students in the class, so a discussion like today's criticism meeting is not as good as a peaceful performance.

"So Hirata also hopes to climb up the ladder, and then the goal is to graduate from Class A?" Hachiman asked.

"Yes." Hirata nodded. "It is fate that I came to this school and met everyone. Although it is a pity that I was assigned to Class D, if I can make progress together with everyone, I think it will be a good experience."

It should be said that it is indeed Hirata's mother who has always been gentle, it makes people feel that he is shining.

But is this what you really think?
Hachiman thought to himself.
　　
He felt that Hirata-san was lying.
　　
Because being promoted to Class A or something like that may seem glamorous for your own growth, but I'm afraid that with your classmates, this is not what you really think.
　　
In fact, when Hirata took the initiative to stand up and snatch Horikita-san's rescue, Hachiman had already discovered it.
　　
Hirata, not just for him, but for any classmates to stand up.
　　
Just like after Koenji was singled out, Hirata also used a strong attitude to defend him.
　　
So, Hirata, you want to protect all your classmates.

No matter who. And this state is obviously not normal, so Hirata-kun, you are no less dangerous than Kushida-san.

However, as long as the opponent's bottom line is not touched, he can be used as a helper.
　　
Hachiman originally planned to use his desk partner, but today.... although Hirata snatched the spot, it turns out that his popularity in the class and  ability to influence public opinion in the class are quite good.
　　
So, think about it a little bit.
　　
"This is because I didn't think well." Hachiman said. "My target is indeed Class A, so can Hirata help me?" He extended an invitation to this helpful mother.

"Haha..." Hirata seemed stunned for a moment, then said with a smile. "With pleasure."
　　
The two held hands together. Please don't misunderstand.

___________

And the other side.

On the way back to the dormitory.
Horikita Suzune is like a lone wolf, walking alone.
　　
Only now, there was a little angel with short blond hair following behind her.
　　
This is Kushida Kikyo.
　　
When introducing herself, she hoped to become friends with all the classmates and spend meaningful campus time together.
　　
"Can you please not trouble me?" Horikita Suzune said.

"..." Kushida.

________

Today was also the day when Kushida Kikyo hit a wall.
　　
'And didn't you, Horikita Suzune, ask me to release rumors before and then have a good relationship?'
　　
'But after my job is finished, you throw me away like a used condom?! That's not polite at all.
　　
'So, Horikita Suzune, do you know her dark history? And yet you are still so ignorant' Kushida was planning to retreat today. Only.
　　
She picked up her phone after being annoyed by Horikita and had to retreat after being scolded.

"Eh..." She let out a surprised sound.
　　
Then she said to Horikita Suzune who was about to leave, "Hikigaya-kun and Hirata-kun are actually holding hands in the private room on the third floor. This is really a rare combination!"

She said in an excited tone.

"Oh." But Horikita-san was very cold and just walked straight ahead.
　　
This made Kushida stop and stare at the other person.
　　
Horikita Suzune was still as cold as ice.
　　
'I just thought that Horikita-san and Hikigaya-kun had a good relationship, but looking at it now, I think he was treated as a tool by Horikita-san just like me.....
　　
'She is really a girl with a bad personality...' Kushida thought to herself. This girl is also very rude, always cursing other people inside her mind, but her brows are also furrowed slightly.
　　
'Because Hirata-kun's effectiveness is similar to me.' Both of them are the glue in the class, eager to help others.

Only. Since the effects were the same, it was surprising that Hikigaya chose to find Hirata instead of her.
　　
Kushida wants to become friends with her classmates.

At present, Horikita Suzune's progress is very small, and on Hikigaya's side, this guy has high requirements.

'What he wants is a true friend, and this kind of friend is almost impossible to find.' Therefore, Hikigaya-kun is considered a very difficult target to attack.
　　
As a result, after she put him aside, the other party went to find Hirata who was similar to her.

"..." Kushida was thinking about the difference.

___________

And the other side.
　　
Hirata also played a role as a partner who wanted to be promoted to Class A.
　　
His suggestion was that before being promoted to Class A, he hoped to build up a team.

This advice is very pertinent. If you know yourself and your enemy, you will never be in danger.
　　
As for the students in Class D, apart from those who cannot be used, there are also problem children with extremely large deviations.
　　
So far, we know Suzune Horikita, Hirata and Kushida.
　　
So is there anyone else who can help?
　　
"So the person you recommended is Sakura Airi?" Hachiman said.
　　
"I think it's better to start with the people you want to contact at the beginning." Hirata said.

?
Hachiman was puzzled.
　　
"Usually Hikigaya-kun always stare at Sakura-san, right? But she's blocking it with her books," Hirata decided to reveal his bullying actions.

"..." Hachiman. 'Is he trying to warn me in a roundabout manner?'

'This is really an injustice! By the way, am I usually so obvious?' So, the boy who was marked as a creepy stalker decided to reflect.
　　
However, he also knows that this school arranges special examinations every month.

If you want to advance to A, the most important thing is the class evaluation score, and this can only be obtained by flexibly responding to the special examinations every time.
　　
'Even though I was able to retain a score of 400 points this month, there was still a gap between me and other classes.'
　　
'So, I have to be prepared to fight several battles.' Then it is also necessary to obtain information about classmates and prepare a combat plan.
　　
'But, how do I get in touch with Sakura?' Because she seems to be more afraid of him.

________
　　
Until, Hachiman picked up a camera.
