Classroom Of The Elite 2nd Year - Full Volume
Chapter 2 STRATEGY ENUNCIATION CLASS D
Full-scale preparations have already begun in anticipation of the sports festival that will begin within a month. It is only natural that for 2 hours given to us once a week, it has been declared as an empty hour where we can use it as we wish. The way we spend that time is left to the opinion of the class.
There are two things we have to decide on in preparation for the actual event. How to decide participation participants for ‘Participation Universal’ event? And who will participate in the ‘Participation event only for the recommended’?
It is clear that both of these decisions will have a major effect on the outcome. Here, above everyone else, the existence of the leader of this class, Hirata, took the initiative. Chabashira-sensei who was moving towards the back of the classroom as if he was emptying the stage, did not say a word. He tends to want to keep an eye on the situation.
"In preparation for the sports festival, we will start taking action, but before starting the practice, there are some things we have to decide. I believe the most important thing is the order of participation in universal participation and participation only for the recommended. I think it's very important if we decide how to handle it”
.
"Even if you say you're gonna decide, how are we gonna do it?" From Sudou's point of view, a slightly uninteresting discussion had already begun.
"Yes, for example, the issue of participation is only for the recommended...."
Perhaps this will be easier to understand than explained directly. Hirata grasped the chalk and began writing it on the board. It seemed like he was a person capable of handling this kind of thing easily. 'Sukarela' and 'Ability' were both written there. As he explained, Hirata added a note.
"It's still a rough sketch, but basically I think it all starts with these two things. This is a 'Sukarela' system where we will follow the wishes of the participants in the participation as you want. And this is the system of 'ability' that we will determine. The system of 'Capability', where we will test your ability to increase its efficiency.we have to choose one of these two ways, right? Both have their own advantages and disadvantages. The 'voluntary' system is of course, that everyone will get the opportunity to participate as desired and that way, they can have fun. The consensus is, the desired order will be overlapping, not everyone can get it and the result will be unbalanced."
If we use a system where we let everyone have it to their liking, inevitably that will be the result. Such a way can slow down emotional selfishness well.
.
"Next is the 'Capability' system'. It is very simple and it is the optimal way to decide on the player with the highest ability. The consequences could increase the chances of winning outside of the Sukarela’ system because it only depends on strong individuals. It can reduce the chances of others winning and this system worries me if everything will end up ignoring what each wants. In theory, I think we can say the same thing also for that ‘participation only for that recomendas’. More or less I've thought about it, but if you have any ideas other than these two ways, please give your opinion"
Hirata completed his brief explanation. Even the disciples who could not understand the explanation orally, from the details written on the blackboard, could slowly understand the consequences of each system. The mind of most of the disciples must have fallen to one of Hirata's proposed plans. Especially since no other plans will be put forward.
"No matter how you look at it, we have to decide based on ability, right? It is you who know yourself the most" It seems that Sudou has no intention of choosing anything else but that when he says his words.
"If I win, then the chances of class victory will also increase. That's already a pretty strong reason." The way he said it was messy, but it was true. Sudou who has a high physical ability to use maximum strength is an indispensable element in this sports festival.
.
"That upsets me but it's true" Towards Sudou's completely nonsensical words, the girls whispered in agreement. After that, from the boys as well, words of support towards Sudou began to appear.
"I'm not good at exercising, other than setting aside universal Participation, if Sudou is willing to take over the participation event for the recommended one, then I don't mind agreeing" For students like Yukimura who specialize in academia, I don't mind agreeing to it, athletics is a weak field for him.
"Then it's decided, right? I will participate in all the events for the recommended ones" Sudou loudly said that and the disciples supported him. This approval includes students who are not athletic and who prioritize class victories.
"If everyone doesn't mind that strategy, then for events only recommended, we can do it this way"
"Wait a minute" Just before the proposal is approved.
.
"I have a complementary proposal" Horikita, who was usually silent, said that and joined the conversation. Many disciples were shocked by that unexpected voice, focusing their attention on him.
"If we have to choose between these two strategies, we have to follow the 'Capability' system as Sudou-kun said. I don't mind so far, but with that, there's no guarantee that we can win against the other classes"
"Of course it's true"
"If so, then it is clear that we should prioritize and let the most athletic people participate in the 'only for recommended' events of their choosing and for universal participation events as well, he said, so we can form the best combination to win and compete in this way. This will allow us to be able to draw out their maximum potential. If I were to put it simply, the talented ones would have to cooperate with the ordinary ones"
Basically, it meant that for Hirata and Sudou who were both talented, to avoid any disputes between the two of them, adjustments were urgently needed. Of course, if with it can win, it can also be one of the options. But simultaneously, this was also a cruel choice that separated the weak.
.
"Wait a minute. That strategy can also mean that our chances of victory will fall, right?" He is a student named Shinohara.
To obtain a higher rank, no matter how, there must be a combined coercion between weaker and stronger individuals. Inevitably because the opponent was also formidable, the chances that the weaker disciple would win were extremely low.
"I can't take it. Just because you are not athletic, if you are forced to compete with someone stronger, absolutely no one can win. The privilege is only given to the first to third positions, so I don't want to let the opportunity go"
"How else, because it's for the class"
"I know this for the sake of class ... but I don't want to lose my personal points”.
"If the class wins, there will be comparable rewards. Is that not enough?"
"You can get a huge amount of test scores if you win a prize, isn't that an unfair way to give up?"
.
"I understand your desire to think that way, but it's also strange. From the beginning, even without relying on the special value of the value, it will not be a problem if you learn as usual. Besides, if the odds remain below 3rd place, there will be no problem even if you don't win the prize, right? First, this contest is not easy even if you can win a prize with your athleticism, don't you think?"
The two insisted and showed no signs of giving up. In particular, Horikita used it for profit and stubbornly attacked.
“Not everyone is smart like Horikita-san, don't think everyone is the same!”
'Right, it's true' such an opinion in favor of Horikita resounded in the class in small numbers. Horikita's efficiency-focused opinion was favored by athletic students beginning with Sudou, as well as students who wanted to move up to Class A and students who had problems with sports.
Shinohara, while still looking frustrated, seemed to have lost her will to argue. Most likely, there were disciples like Shinohara who thought that they might at least still be able to stand at the 3rd position.
.
Being united with strong disciples like Sudou, or paired with non-athletic students in cavalry battles and triple leg races, it is a fact that victory will be tenuous.
"That's enough, Shinohara, if we lose because of you, do you want to take responsibility? Huh uh?"
"That's ...."
In these sports festivals, it is dominated by high athletic ability. Sudou, who is seen as being below everyone else when it comes to academia-capable circles, is emitting a strong light here and wielding authority. The ability to prioritize the plans that Horikita and Sudou proposed was a powerful plan and not an easy thing to destroy. Shinohara no longer had the ability to object. A conclusion quickly approached.
"Just be honest. It's very troublesome to have to talk to a fool... You yourself don't seem too interested in this situation. If you're part enough to play with your phone, why not think about how we can win?”
"It doesn't matter if I hand it over to you and Hirata, does it?" I turned off my phone screen and put it in my pocket. The discussion was over - only when I thought about it.
.
"Ahh... May I take a little time? I object, as Shinohara said, why get other people in trouble? Are you saying that by doing that, you can make the class work together?" The one who said that was Karuizawa. As if protecting Shinohara, she glared at Horikita.
"To be able to work together, means exactly that. Do you understand?"
"No, I don't understand, Hey, what do you think Kushida-san?" Karuizawa called out to Kushida, who was 'unusually' silent and watching over the situation. Kushida looked a little surprised but immediately after thinking about it she made her statement.
"It's a difficult matter, I think I can understand the feelings of the two, like Horikitasan, I want to win as a class. As Shinohara-san said, I also want to leave behind a possible victory for everyone as well" Saying that, she continued speaking.
"If there is an alternative plan, then combining both of their opinions would be an ideal form. A way for both people, who can occupy the first position and people who are at the bottom will be convincing"
As she replied like that, I could hear many voices approving of her from inside the classroom. At that current, maybe before he had guessed that a similar statement would definitely be made, Horikita immediately interjected.
.
"Of course I've thought about it, a way that can be accepted by both parties, which is for students who feel that they don't need test scores to get a higher rank, which is for students who feel that they don't need test scores, use the personal points they get from it to compensate for the points lost from the bottom ranked disciples. The whole class will share the advantages and disadvantages. If it were like this, there would be no complaints, right? "
A plan, in place of one that would lower the chances of victory, weighs the risks in case of defeat. If it's like this, it will make a little approval to the opposing ones. Of course, that would still leave a bottom 10 problem throughout the bunch.
"Oh, that doesn't matter, does it? There will be no losses, no matter how much we monopolize in this way” Sudou says that while scorning and laughing as if saying 'very sad'.
"But that's just for points, right? The chances of winning a prize are down. What is everyone thinking?" Even in that situation, Karuizawa still voiced her disagreement. Then call the girls in Karuizawa faction.
"..... If it was Karuizawa-san, I think I also objected" One by one, the girls who followed in Karuizawa's footsteps began to show their resistance.
.
"Are you all stupid? Focused just because he objected? It really doesn't make any sense. This is a test, so it is clear that we must build a strategy that is based on efficient winning. The other classes have absolutely no fools like you”
"That must be something Horikita-san couldn't understand, right? Right now I'm objecting, there are also those who are against it, so think about those people as well, I won't accept it if this competition is decided in an impartial way" The influence of Karuizawa who had already united the girls was strong and the supporters of the plan that prioritized class victories in favor of Horikita were no longer there.
"Calm down, you two. If we can't agree on our opinions then we have no other choice but to take the most votes" It's inevitable that it will end this way. To fix the dead end situation, Hirata denied it like this.
"I think we have to fairly settle this by taking a vote"
"If Yousuke-kun says so, I agree..."
"... that's right, I also think it's not the time to fight with each other. Anyway, I've protested, hopefully you'll all make the right decision"
.
Horikita sat down in frustration and glared at me.
"Ayanokouji-kun, can you silence him?"
"There's no way I can silence him, right?"
"Recently, you've been in contact with Karuizawa-san, right? Isn't that what caused him to act spoiled?”
"No, wasn't Karuizawa the kind of person she was from the beginning, wasn't she?"
Perhaps Horikita managed to be convinced at that moment, she secretly uttered 'of course' However, he could not hide his annoyance towards Karuizawa who could not give his basis and to the girl who changed their opinion based on their feelings.
"The plan that focuses on the talent that Horikita-san proposes and the plan that emphasizes the individual is just like Karuizawa-san's opinion. Which is better? should we decide by raising our hands? If anyone finds it difficult to choose, I accept non-participation" Horikita's plan of preferential treatment to the potential. Karuizawa's plan that respects every individual and cares for everyone.
