AYANOKOUJI POV

Me {After a lengthy period of preparation, the day of the first years' special exam had finally arrived. As per the rules, the commanders of the losing classes would be expelled from the school. However, this time, they would be stripped of their protection point instead. The two commanders in charge of the defeated classes would lose the protection point that they had earned during the provisional exam. Depending on the outcome of the exam, there was a good chance that the standings of each class would be affected. Meaning, if we win this exam we'll become class A come the 2nd year}

Horikita [Today, I want you to forget about all the notes and pointers I've given to you]

Me {As I waited for morning homeroom to begin, Horikita spoke up from her seat beside me}

Horikita [Choose whichever five events you want, and then pick whoever you want to participate in them]

Me [If I take charge and mess up your plans, wouldn't the rest of the class be unable to adapt to it?]

Horikita [I never told anyone which events they'd be participating in. I simply said that I'd be making those decisions pragmatically depending on the situation, so that shouldn't be a problem]

Me {In other words, she had throughly set the stage for me to compete without running into any issues}

Me [Don't blame me if something goes wrong]

Horikita [This is a class competition. Even though the commanders are allowed to intervene, the exam boils down to the strength of our class as a whole. The opponent we'll be facing is class A, led by Sakayanagi-San. The most formidable opponent in our school year. Even if you lost, it's not like anyone would blame you]

Me [I'll make the most of your efforts]

Me {As I got up from my seat, ready to go do what I needed to do, Horikita left me with a few words}

Horikita [The odds of chess getting chosen are 7 out of 10. A 70% chance isn't exactly low]

Me {That's right, over the past few days Horikita and I took some time to play matches of chess against each other. Since my first pick wasn't here, I had to settle with her}

Horikita [In the end, I hardly even won against you, even with you going easy on me]

Me {It was true that the number of times she had beaten me were few and far between. However, there was no need for her to keep track of it}

Me [Nobody is stronger than me, even when I'm going easy on them. Remember that]

Horikita [You sure have a lot of confidence in yourself]

Me {Having wrapped up my conversation with Horikita, I set off to go fulfill my duties as commander. The remaining students were pretty much on standby in the main classroom, waiting to receive instructions from the multipurpose room. After an event is announced, the participants would then change their clothes and go to the designated location. The finer details of the event wouldn't be shared on the monitors, so the students in the main classroom would have to wait for the participants to get back to learn what happened}

AYANOKOUJI POV

Me {I headed over to the special building and went to the designated location for the commanders. There, Sakayanagi and Ichinose, who had arrived before me, were engaged in idle chatter with each other. From the looks of it, we weren't allowed to enter the multipurpose room yet}
