Kapitel 654: Is Iroha ready to take action?
To avoid criticism for word count, writers will skip long speeches.
After the last bald man stepped down, the young and handsome emcee came on stage. He saw a lifeless scene in the audience.
"Students, don't be nervous!"
"The exchange meeting was originally mainly about communication between students from each school. If you are too serious, you will not be able to speak freely and show your strengths to others. Therefore, I want you to be as active as you are at this age!"
The fiery voice tried to stir up the puddle. Facing the students' confused gazes, the host held the microphone in one hand and raised the other hand high.
"So, while there's still some time before the exchange meeting officially starts, you guys come and get to know each other!"
"Pre-meeting game – identity puzzle! The rules are as follows…"
Ignoring the cries of surprised and confused voices, the host continued to explain the rules of the game.
No one expected that the organizers would suddenly launch a game.
Moreover...
"It's not written on the itinerary... No, the official start time of the event is a reminder. Since this game has to be arranged, was it intentionally postponed to 11 am?"
Shinichi muttered with enlightenment.
"Deliberately leaving clues... Specifically arranging this game... The real purpose is..."
Close his eyes.
His brain worked quickly, reconstructing and synthesizing the puzzle of truth.
Intelligence +10 appeared in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth seemed to curl up meaningfully.
Even though there is no evidence yet, Shinichi has got the answer.
"Shinichi-kun, did you find anything?"
Ichika asked doubtfully.
Just now, she was listening attentively to the host explaining the rules on stage. She noticed that Shinichi looked like he had just regained consciousness.
Faced with her probing gaze, Shinichi smiled enigmatically.
"Found? NoNoNo, these are just basic reasons, my friend..."
Originally he wanted to arouse his curiosity, but Mafuyu next to him also turned her head curiously, and wanted to hear his opinion.
On second thought, now wasn't the time to tease, so Shinichi decided to explain honestly.
"If my guess is correct, this is a test of whether we prepared beforehand."
"Given enough time and photos and basic information of all participants made public, will we get to know our colleagues who might be 'opponents' or 'friends'?"
He patted the schedule in his hands and looked carefully around his teammates and team leaders.
"The talent exchange meeting focuses on talent first, then communication... This is not a simple ice-breaker game, but a test that can influence our own evaluation. In other words, the exchange meeting has officially started from now."
"You can win every battle if you know yourself and the enemy. The only benefit of winning here is to show that we attach great importance to intelligence. As long as there are fewer people who can do the same thing, the higher our evaluation will be in the exchange meeting."
Under the attention of Mafuyu, Ichika, Yotsuba, and Itsuki, Shinichi guesses the organizer's plan, which makes everyone's spirits rise.
Because under the extremely high requirements of Shuchi'in Academy and the precise arrangements of Mafuyu, their entire team has deeply instilled the information of other schools, and even created several test papers specially prepared for this purpose.
After painstaking efforts, the result is that as long as the appearance is not much different from the photo, they can quickly say each other's names and registration information even though it is the first time they have met.
Even before this level started, they were already invincible.
While some schools are still doubtful and uneasy, the team at Shuchi'in Academy seems to have calmed down and started talking about Mafuyu's extraordinary vision and future outlook.
Of course, it was Shinichi who led the triplets to provide support, Mafuyu looked on with shame and anger, and told him to shut up.
On the other hand, the Sobu High School team heard their conversation from the seats diagonally in front.
The words of respect overflowing behind her reached her ears. Yuigahama quietly looked at the pink-haired teacher with a beautiful face, sighing in admiration.
"That sensei is not only beautiful, but she also seems to have a good mind..."
"In the first place, how can a Sensei teach her student if her mind is weak? Um, but that's what I wanted to say..."
She looked sideways at the teacher in the white coat, and Hachiman.
"It's a shame that the exception is right in front of me."
Hiratsuka took the lollipop out of her mouth.
"Hikigaya, when you say exception, do you mean 'beauty' or 'mind'?"
Hachiman asked tentatively: "If you dare, may I ask, is there any difference between the two?"
"Yes." Hiratsuka clenched her fist, and a bone-sharp sound accompanied by a friendly smile appeared very clearly in front of Hachiman.
"The difference is whether you will die a horrible death or a worse death."
"...Can't it be sad?"
Hachiman tries to put up a final fight. Even if he doesn't know what he is talking about, his attitude must always be shown.
"Sorry, no."
Just when Hiratsuka's iron fist was about to be swung at Hachiman's head.
When the voice of explanation came from behind, Yukino, who was holding her chin while thinking, spoke quietly.
"It has nothing to do with their main Sensei. The smart one is the captain of the student team, a boy named Asada Shinichi."
Hachiman watched as the iron fist stopped a centimeter in front of his hair.
"Listen to what you're saying… Even though Mafuyu-chan is smart, she's always a little stubborn when it comes to doing things, so she probably won't think about it too deeply."
Hiratsuka nodded thoughtfully, and withdrew her hand.
"Even though it's just an afterthought, I think the boy's analysis makes sense."
She scratched her hair sadly: "But it's a pity that none of us remembers the information of other schools? Even his name."
Iroha said bluntly: "Isn't releasing participant information just a simple administrative process? Who will read it if they are not interested?"
Yuigahama smiled embarrassedly: "I've never clicked on that official site..."
Yukino crossed her arms in front of her chest, raised her chin slightly, and made a calm statement.
"As long as I am greater than others, I don't care what their names are."
"Hey, in the current situation, there must be many people better than you? Although I am not qualified to say that you..."
Hachiman stabbed her self-confidence sharply.
"I don't have the habit of remembering others, because power is mutual. When everyone forgets me, I will forget everyone too!"
Yuigahama and Iroha were moved by this.
"Wow, this is a twisted philosophy..."
"Even though it's disgusting, it actually sounds reasonable..."
"Ahem!"
Yukino coughed, and her eyes were cold. Hachiman was forced to remain silent.
"Let's be frank – we've already lost two steps in this game, and there's almost no room for a comeback."
"Two steps?" Hiratsuka asked doubtfully, "If you don't prepare in advance, it only counts as one move…"
"Communications and intelligence. This is the second step."
Hachiman who was so scared earlier, his hidden eyes scanned the name boards of other school students.
He said it was a name tag, but in fact it was just a number displayed next to the school badge, their Sobu High School groups numbered 7, 8, and 9 respectively. Iroha was not a participant, so there was no name tag.
As for the team from Shuchi'in Academy behind, he saw their numbers when he greeted them earlier. The man named Asada Shinichi should be 13th. There was no need to explain further.
The registration number wasn't much use in the current situation, so Hachiman felt sorry that his name wasn't written on it even though it was a famous brand.
"That's right. If Hikigaya-kun can be useful now, no one will forget you, right?"
Yukino smiled at Hachiman with a rare gentle smile, but her words were still bitter.
"According to Asada-kun... His name should be Asada Shinichi? According to his conclusion, this was actually an intelligence war. Whether before or after the incident, the most important thing is the fact of 'getting information from other schools'."
She turned to Iroha who was scrolling through her phone with her head lowered.
"Isshiki-san, the information site on the official website should have been closed by now."
Iroha tapped the phone very quickly, and after a while, she raised her face and said in surprise: "That's right! As Yukinoshita Senpai said, I couldn't find the web page where the information was posted."
"And the current atmosphere..." Yuigahama looked around, clenching the corners of her clothes nervously.
"Even if you want to communicate with other people and get information before the match starts, it's already impossible..."
"That's right," Yukino nodded and said simply.
"We have lost the first 'win or lose', to those who know how to appreciate intelligence. Even though we are very unhappy, we can only accept it wholeheartedly."
Hachiman disdain: "Hey hey hey, you look so unhappy, and I can't even see a trace of sincerity."
"Strategically, we hate the enemy, and tactically, we respect the enemy. Don't you understand this?" Yukino glanced at him sideways.
"So, you have to win the next match, and start overclocking your poor brain from now on, Hikigaya-kun."
"Yes, yes, Yuki-onna-sama." Hachiman sighed.
"Mushrooms don't have brains, right?"
"Don't feel inferior at an important time like this, okay?"
Listening to the daily bickering between the two seniors, Iroha put down her cell phone.
She quietly looked at the short-haired boy in the back row among the girls. Although the other party didn't look very handsome, his temperament made people want to get close to him.
"Asada Shinichi...A student from a noble school. He is very smart and seems easy to get along with…"
"Could this be... An enhanced version of Hayama-senpai except for the appearance? Hikigaya Senpai version has been updated across generations?"
"Oops, a new character appeared this time, too cunning..."
Whispering that no one could understand, Iroha held her cheek.
Not long after, a sly smile slowly appeared on her face.
"Hehehe, then it's time to use the power of the student council president!"
