Nanami POV
"Are you even sure you can do this?" Horikita-senpai asked me
"Of course, you told me to unite the 2nd years against Nagumo, so I have to get enough people as possible." I said while playing on my phone. This time I'm playing Candy Crush and so far, I'm at level 1556. Yeah, it's one of those cliche puzzle games but I do enjoy it a lot and I enjoy eating candy so that's a good combination.
"You are quite determined Nanami, but you think that you can convince "her" of all people to join you?" he asked
"You'll never know until we try right? no matter how many times you fail a level, you can just restart over and over until you get it" I said as I tried completing level 1556 again after failing.
"Even with these video games, your words hold a lot of wisdom" Horikita-senpai said
"Thanks, I guess" I said with a smile
As we walked, we finally arrived at the person that I was looking for.
"There she is" I said as I pointed to a girl. She has long platinum hair and crimson eyes. She gives off this vibe of extreme confidence. I've only talked to her a few times, but she always seems disinterested and says she's better than everyone. Which is kinda the reason why I need Horikita-senpai to help me convince the girl known as Kiryuin Fuka of Class 2-B
"Ohh it's you president and gamer girl, what do you want from me?" she asked sounding disinterested as usual.
"Listen Kiryuin-san, I really need your help. After all you do hate Nagumo as much as I do" I said
"Yeah, I remember, but I don't care if Miyabi will soon be president by next year. This school has been pretty boring since I came here so why would I help you?"
"Well, I can't risk seeing anyone getting expelled by him. Especially if he starts expelling my classmates and me." I said sounding sorrowful
"If you want to ask someone for help then you don't need me, besides I've got better things to do than sticking into Miyabi's business" she said. I heard that she's arrogant from the other 2nd years, but her grades are very impressive. I know she would be smart enough to help me take down Nagumo in the future.
"Do you see, it's a waste of time convincing her. Let us leave Nanam--"
"Wait"
"hmm?"
"If you're not interested in helping me, then are you interested in Class S?" I asked
"Class S? ohhh I see what you mean. Yes, I've heard of Class S. To be honest ever since I heard of the creation of Class S for the 1st years. I was intrigued. The class is full of geniuses no doubt. In fact, they're the only one that interest me in this school as of now" Kiryuin said
"So, what if I tell you that if you help me then I can get you to meet these kouhais for yourself, especially with this boy named Ayanokouji"
"Ayanokouji?" she asked
"That's right even the student council president himself praises this particular kouhai" I added
Kiryuin was silent for a bit until she spoke
"Very well, if this Ayanokouji is good as you said. Then he might just be an interesting kouhai" she said
"Exactly, if you agree to join me. Then I can get you to meet Ayanokouji Kiyotaka himself"
"Fine, I'll help you as long as I get to meet this kouhai" *phew* mission accomplished.
"Deal" I said as we both shook hands.
After all that, I went back to my room. It's filled with many consoles and some snacks that I bought and even a punching bag to test my strength sometimes when I'm learning martial arts from the games I play.
"*sigh* tough day huh Chiaki?" I started to talk to myself for a bit
"Ohh well once Class S returns from their trip at sea. Then I can get to work" I said as I begin to play "The Last of Us" on the PS4.

Speranza
Yuuichi POV
The next discussion will happen in the next few hours or so. While I left Kiyotaka with Karuizawa, I plan on blackmailing Manabe and her stupid friends so that they can follow through with my plan. That plan is to make everyone answer wrong. As I was walking, I met up with Kaguya and Akise who were waiting for me in the corridors.
"Hey where's Kiyotaka-kun?" Kaguya asked
"He's got something to discuss with Karuizawa" I replied
"So, what are we gonna do now?" Akise asked
"Simple, we find Manabe and her friends and show this" I showed them the video of Manabe and her friends beating up Karuizawa. Kaguya had a slight terrified look on her face and Akise was remaining calm.
"I see planning to blackmail them huh? why not just report them to the faculty?" Akise questioned
"That's not necessary, besides..."
"We need them for our plan after all"
After minutes of walking, we managed to find Manabe and the others. Let the show begin.
"Hey, Manabe right?" I called her out which got their attention
"You're Katagiri-kun, what do you want from us?" she asked
"What do I want? actually, it's what we want. We saw you guys beat the s*** out of that Karuizawa girl. Quite fun for you I must say"
"Huh? what are you talking about?"
"Yeah, we didn't do anything to her" a random girl said
"Ohh really now, what if I told you that I have actual evidence of that incident and I can simply report it to the school"
"Yeah right"
"Where's your proof if you think we did something to Karuizawa-san?" Manabe scoffed at me
I smiled wide knowing that these girls are in for their own demise. They noticed my looked and started looking confused
"What's with the creepy smile?" she asked
"Ohh nothing much" I said as I showed her the video recording on my phone.
"Huhh!???!!" the girls were now in shock upon seeing the video.
"w-w-wait how did you get that?" Manabe now quivering in fear asked. Perfect just like how I planned it.
"Is this the proof you're looking for?" I said as my grin grows ever wider
"Hold on, we can talk about this"
"Yes, there is something to talk about. I want all of you to be on your knees and bow before me" I demanded
"Why on earth would we do that?" a random girl asked
"If you don't then I can expel all of you here and now, do you want your lives to be ruined in one fell swoop?!!" I asked as now the girls are now terrified at me.
"Well? I'm waiting?"
They were all trembling in fear, what a sight to behold. I wish Kiyotaka were here to see this. People end up always getting their backs against the wall when despair is right around the corner. They act all high and mighty thinking that they can get away with everything only for it to come crashing down. Ryuen thinks that by sabotaging our class, he can beat Class S. But we already knew the cheap tactics he would pull so we pulled our own against him without realizing it.
"A-a-alright we give up" Manabe said as she slowly kneels down and bowing her head and the rest slowly joined. Seeing them bowing before me like I'm their king is truly satisfying.
"What should we do for you Katagiri-sama" Manabe said while bowing
"eh?"
"Katagiri-sama? well, that's weird to call him that" Kaguya said also puzzled by this development
"Hey who asked for your..." before she could finish, I glared at her, and she suddenly bowed her head down again
"I'm very sorry, I'll shut my mouth"
"Wow Yuuichi, you just made all the girls bow before you. I didn't know you were a ladies' man" Akise said teasingly while chuckling
"Ugghh thanks I guess anyways" I crouched down to Manabe and told her what I need her to do
"Listen, I want you and those two in my group to do one simple thing."
"And what would that be?"
"I want you to give this answer to the faculty since he's the VIP" I gave her a small paper containing the name of the VIP.
"Huh? Yukimura is the VIP?"
"Shhhhhhh, don't say it out loud besides, just do as I say, and I'll let you all go scot-free"
The final meeting
We were all back at the meeting room for one final time. It was already evening, and we need to end this now.
"Ok everyone given what Hikigaya-kun did in the previous meeting. He's right, no student from Class B is the VIP." Ichinose said as her Hamaguchi and Beppu showed their phones.
"Hold on you're going along with what Hikigaya did?" Machida asked in shock
"That's right I think it is better that we showed our phones to prove that we don't have a VIP among us" Ichinose said. I guess Ichinose decided to follow through with Hikigaya's initial strategy from before.
"Are you serious?" Sotomura asked
I looked at Kiyotaka, Kaguya and Akise and the three of them nodded.
"I understand, then I'll go along with this strategy as well" Kiyotaka showed his phone
"I agree with Ichinose-san, here" Kaguya also showed her phone.
"The same here" then Akise
"Fine, I'm in as well" Ibuki now joins in as well. looked at Manabe and the others and smirked slightly, they noticed it and flinched a bit.
"Alright, here!" She showed her phone along with the rest.
"I want points too so here" Karuizawa showed hers as everybody else showed their phones.
"You can't be serious" Machida said
I noticed that Yukimura was trembling a bit, of course I actually know what happened to him on why he's in this state.
"I'm sorry you guys, but please don't report this to anyone even if you know"
"Wait so that means..."
Yukimura showed his phone
"I'm the VIP"
Almost everyone was in shock. However, Class S already knew that Yukimura was not the VIP and I happen to give him my phone just an hour before the meeting
*Flashback*
3rd person POV
Yukimura: you want me to what?
Yuuichi: I'll give you my phone and I want you to pretend that you are the VIP.
Yukimura: wait but this means you're the VIP, right?
Yuuichi: exactly so if you want to have free points then I suggest you beg the group to not report you.
Yukimura: but I...
Yuuichi: listen if you don't want to be labeled as trash or anything, it's better if we all work together, okay? You do want the points, don't you?
Yukimura: *sigh* I do
*Flashback ends*
I gave him my phone to pull this little show, this was my plan after all so pretty much. Class S has everyone here in the palm of our hands.
"Please everyone! we must not report Yukimura. We'll clear this exam together" Hamaguchi said. haha is he serious? given that my plan is to betray the group in the first place, why the hell would I let any of you have the fun. I want the points for myself, simple as that.

Ayanokouji POV
It's 11:00 PM as the results of the exams are in and as expected. Thanks to Yuuichi's plan, the four of us betrayed the group and walked away with the 50 class points. Karma's group also did the same. Tatsuya's, Light's, and Kei's group all completely betrayed the group leaving us with 250 class points in total. With that, Class S has officially topped Class A. Class C did manage to pull through with points of their own, looks like Ryuen's plan worked on the other groups. Class A is starting to fall down. Class B was neutral. All seems as expected, however...
"Look at this, guys" It was Asuna sounding a bit shocked while looking at her phone. As we looked at the results it seems that Class D somehow managed to get 2,000,000 private points and even a 50-class point increase.
"Wait you can't be serious?" Karma said
"My hunch is that Koenji must've something to do it since he is the only competent one in Class D after all" Sora said.
"I guess the narcissist is as clever as I thought he'd be" Kaguya said with an irritated tone
"Yeah, but why 2 million, was there another traitor in Class D?" Kazuto asked as almost everyone was in shock.
"Yeah, where did that come?" Kei asked sounding bewildered himself
"Could it be him?" I heard Yuuichi mumble something next to me.
"What do you mean?" I asked
"Ohh it's nothing, I think we should discuss this somewhere private." he said. Yuuichi has been acting strange for the past few days. He's been going off somewhere and hasn't even talked to anyone in this class about. I wonder....
