Class 1-C’s Victory, Kiyotaka’s Revelation, and Sakayanagi’s Unexpected Offer
As the Event Selection Exam commenced, the tension between Kiyotaka and Sakayanagi reached its peak.
The first event, basketball, saw an unexpected twist as Kiyotaka urged Sudo to step aside, allowing other skilled players from Class 1-C to showcase their abilities against Class 1-A. Surprisingly, the underdog team managed to hold their own against their formidable opponents.
However, Kiyotaka strategically swapped Sudo with Hondou midway through the game, shifting the momentum in their favor.
Regardless of Sakayanagi deploying her secret weapon, Hayatou Kitou, Sudo and his team emerged victorious, thanks to their newfound emphasis on teamwork—an aspect of Sudou’s leadership that even surprised Sakayanagi herself.
Class 1-C continued their winning streak, triumphing in basketball, typing, and archery, while Class 1-A secured victories in Math and English.
Amidst the mental arithmetic test, Kiyotaka uncovered Sakayanagi’s manipulation of Katsuragi, who had been coerced into loyalty under threat of expulsion for a bright student from his class.
With the scores tied after six rounds, both classes faced a decisive final event to determine their fate.
In the intense finale of the Event Selection Exam, Suzune and Hashimoto, both newcomers to chess, impressively held their ground without relying on their leaders’ guidance.
However, as the tension mounted, Sakayanagi intervened, offering strategic suggestions to Hashimoto. Soon after, Kiyotaka joined the fray, elevating the game to a whole new level.
As the match reached its climax, Kiyotaka detected something amiss and made the difficult decision to concede, resulting in Class 1-C’s defeat in the exam. In a hallway discussion afterward, Sakayanagi and Kiyotaka encountered Tsukishiro, who disclosed his interference in the exam by altering the last-minute instructions given to Suzune.
Despite his personal battle and the secret pact with the White Room looming over him, Kiyotaka chose to accept the outcome, leading to his loss in the exam.
Later, in a private chess match after school, Sakayanagi found herself on the losing end this time.
Acknowledging Kiyotaka’s genius, Sakayanagi expressed her desire to understand him better and engage in friendly competition.
She hoped to impart to him the warmth of human connection—a sentiment unfamiliar to someone raised in the sterile environment of the White Room.
