Classroom of the Elite (LN)-Vol 15 Chapter 5.5: Part 5

"Hey, Tsubaki ..."

"Anything else?"

“I don't know what kind of movements you have left, but I think you should have given detailed instructions to the five groups in case something like this happened; It wouldn't have been too difficult to get the five groups out of the way before the sophomores surrounded them, right? ”

There were a total of five groups of freshmen sent to the island, and even if someone had marked all five, it would not have been easy to catch them on the large uninhabited island.

Yagami said that it was a strategic mistake that the five groups were caught so easily.

“Even if you force yourself to flee, you can always make up an excuse later, like you got scared because you got tangled up with the grown-ups. If you had consulted me before "

"So, you say this happened because I was negligent?"

"If you want to be tough, that's what I would say."

Looking at the disgusted Yagami, Tsubaki responds.

"But now that it's over, I'll tell you ...... it's actually the other way around."

"Upside down?"

"It is not that my group has been caught, it is that I have caught the other group."

" Well I'm ... sorry, I'm a little out of my league here. "

“The five groups sent to expel Ayanokouji-senpai. Even if you can hunt him down to a position where you can see him, if there is a big difference in his physical abilities, he will be able to escape, right? Rumor has it that he has the ability similar to Housenkun's. It means that he didn't want to face the current group from the beginning. As Tsubaki speaks, Yagami bows his head.

“If you put it like this, it's like saying that the five groups that we sent from the beginning will not be able to beat Ayanokouji. This strategy doesn't make sense. "

“The first is to find out what Ayanokouji-senpai is thinking. What do you like and what don't you like? "

She hit the tablet with her index finger and explained.

“He disliked contact with the early years more than going to his assigned area. He also avoided homework with the teachers and the second and third graders. What I get clear is that he has an extreme aversion to highlighting, and is willing to take a penalty to avoid it.

"Even if it's to learn about behavior patterns, it doesn't mean that you have to catch the group."

“There is a more important meaning. Because this is how we caught the group that was trying to protect Ayanokouji-senpai. "

Hearing those words, Yagami exclaims.

“The only thing we should avoid is getting in the way of our efforts to eliminate Ayanokouji-senpai. And the only person capable of eliminating Ayanokouji-Senpai, apart from Utomiya-kun, is Housen-kun ... "

Finally understanding Tsubaki's goal, Yagami tries to find Housen via GPS.

However, there is no trace of him anywhere.

“What you see is not everything ....... Is that what you mean?"

After finishing her explanation, Tsubaki once again dispels any unnecessary distractions.

“Let me ask you one last question. If Housen-kun had not accepted this case, do you think this operation would not have been possible? "

“Hmm, not exactly. It is correct to say that we decided to carry out this operation because we were absolutely sure that Housen-kun would come on board. It seems that he was always willing to fight alone. Still, if they didn't accept the case, I would just let Utomiya-kun go. Either way, I made sure the atmosphere was perfect for one-on-one. Now it only remains for the two to face each other, win or lose, and everything will be fine."

Ayanokouji, acting alone, has no choice but to withdraw.
