Love born from hatred (Year 2/End)

Hunter or Hunted?

"I want to make Ayanokoji and Class D fall in this exam" As I said these words I could see sensei look a little spooked by them but I didn't care, at this point there is no purpose in hiding my intent to hunt down Ayanokoji and the rest of those idiots.

The exam lets me attack in many ways and with the resources which are now available to me due to Sakayanagi, I can easily reduce Class D to nothing. All that matters now is my own ambition and to fulfill that I can go all out with nothing left to hide.

Due to my vast past and current connections, I know the weaknesses of almost every student in the second year, all that's left is to assign them their individual weaknesses. Kiyo doesn't have any particular weaknesses I know that much but an area where his knowledge is lower than most is definitely Social Media or anything Entertainment related. Same could be said for Horikita which makes it a two birds one stone scenario for me.

However things won't be so easy, knowing Kiyo he's already figured out how this exam works and that means he's figured me out already too. Judging by that it means that I can't take him or Horikita off the board in this exam. This doesn't mean I'm out of options since I just need to break the support built around to protect the top players in Class D by getting rid of the disposable fodder first.

"But I know how you think Kiyo. You're going to reverse your approach and protect the fodder in this exam while hoping the capable ones pass on through their own abilities. Isn't that why you built your little study group in the first place?"

Knowing Class D's financial situation I know they don't have enough points to protect everyone within this exam and their best bet would be to safeguard the students with actual value but Kiyo's going to use his study group to cover the weaknesses of valuable students while using all the points in safeguarding the easy categories for the idiots.

"I'll just attack you where you think you're the strongest. I'll control the domain you so cockily control."

Ryuen's POV:

"I can remove Sakayanagi's support with this exam" The first thought that came in my mind after Sakagami sensei finished explaining the exam to us was this.

If I can just confirm a few things first then it will be easy to formulate my attack on Sakayanagi's class. As the old man left the class I followed him closely behind.

"Yes what is it Ryuen?"

"Just wanted to confirm with you sensei if the use of private points to play with categories is allowed in this exam?"

"What do you mean with play?"

"You know such as swapping, protecting or revealing categories either for yourself or someone else."

"I figured you would catch on, yes it is allowed."

"You can even do it with someone from another class right?"

"Yes that is correct."

"Alright then, suppose if someone protected their category that they received in this exam and someone else wanted to swap that individual's category, who would win?"

"The person who protected their category."

"Is there no way to overturn the protection?"

"Yes there is but you would need to pay double the amount to overturn someone's protection. After that you would also need to pay more to swap their category."

"I see so it's an option too expensive for most to pull off or even think about."

"Most probably won't even know about this fact but since it's you, it's only natural you figure something like this out."
