COTE: How Life Should Be

Chapter 6: Give Up

The past few days went on normally with not many problems, from what I heard Class B is doing well, everyone in Class C had retired but I doubt that, and Class D was a complete dysfunctional mess. It looked like in hindsight we won this exam not spending a single point, but that's not the truth.

The week had finally passed by and we were now on the beach lined up.

Class D was split boys from girls, looks like they had a lot of problems, Horikita wasn't looking too good.

Class C was nowhere to be found.

Class B looked enthusiastic the same with us.

"First off I want to congratulate all of you for making to the 7th day, after this your free to take a long rest. Now, over this past week, we, your teachers have closely watched your efforts in this special test, there were some students who took on the challenge head-on, there were some who devised schemes to tackle the test, many things have happened, but overall, the test
results were splendid, good work" He praised

"We will not accept any questions regarding the results, no exceptions. We would like you to accept the results you have been given, analyze them, and use them to help you for the next test" He added

Just then Ryuuen had emerged looking confident

People started to question wondering how he was still here

"Now then in last place is Class D with 0 points"

As expected they immediately got upset and started blaming one another

"In third place is Class A with 120 points"

"How!?"

"What happened!?"

A lot people started to question how we ended up in third, the answer is simple: Ryuuen outsmarted the other 3 leaders

"In second place is Class B with 140 points"

They looked a bit disappointed thinking that everything was going well for them

"In first place is Class C with 170 points"

"Kukuku! All of you stood no chance"

"What's the meaning of this Ryuuen!" Katsuragi said

"Nothing personal baldy, but you got tricked just liked all the other fools, now get out of the way losers!" He made his way back to the ship

Class A now had a total of 1,150 points, Class B with 850 points, Class C with 700 points, and Class D still with 0 points.

When we got back to the ship everyone in our class was now gathered In a hall, we were waiting for one more person

"How disappointing"

Here she is

She made her way to my side and wrapped around my arm

"Now then explain yourself Katsuragi-kun" She grinned smugly, she was enjoying this

"I apologize, losing the island exam was my fault, I had made a deal with Ryuuen that all of us owe him 10k points a month for the rest of the first year"
