Classroom of the Elite

Is she going to get another arc? She's just kinda irrelevant but still in the foreground of the story for some reason.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. Geppu, geppu. If you eat three heavy meals for lunch you'd naturally be full. I thought of going on a diet but it seems like a failure". Sotomura came up to me while rubbing his belly that had swollen up from all the food he'd eaten earlier. It conveyed a completely different image from someone who claimed to want to go on a diet. He came to the location me and Yukimura were waiting in front of. "It is troublesome that the exam has started, I've barely eaten". "Is that a 'I'm currently unable to use my full strength' flag?". "...I've been wanting to say it for a while now, but can't you cut it out with that weird way of speaking?" Yukimura retorts to Sotomura. Of course, from the perspective of someone who doesn't quite understand Sotomura, his words may seem almost like witchcraft. But you just have to get used to it, I guess. On the contrary, sometimes talking in an unusual manner like that can be interesting. But if I speak out now, I might incur Yukimura's wrath and so I let him continue on with his tirade. "Pofu~ Did you not like my way of speech? What would suit you then, Yukimura-dono?". "Just speak normally" Yukimura replies to Sotomura.

(Starting the dump for the next part of chapter 2. Continued)

"Ok, from this point onwards I'll be the weakest, strongest protagonist. I'll normally have no motivation to do anything but the truth is, I have a power capable of destroying the world worthy of naming me Cheat-kun. As is the current trend". Yukimura, having given up on convincing Sotomura, simply starts walking ahead of us. Since we were slightly late, we started walking in a hurry towards our destination. "Ayanokouji, there's something I wish to ask you, answer me". He's speaking in a tone befitting a protagonist type character. "What would you like to ask?". "I was wondering what your favourite type of dialect is, since you'd surely be happy if a cute heroine were to speak in such a dialect". The way he said it itself sounded cool, but the content of the dialogue was always the same with him. "No...there's no particular dialect I like". Since I was born and raised in Tokyo, there's no way I would know about such dialects. "Have you not yet had the chance to experience the dialect of 'moe'?" he asks me. Just how many students in this school does he think possesses the attribute of such a dialect? I could just shut him off now but until we reach our designated meeting room I suppose I could kill some time by talking with him. "Do you have a favourite dialect?" I ask him.

(Continued)

"Of course, I'll tell you via my own ranking system for dialects. In third place would have to be the Kansai dialect. It gives off a strict yet rough impression. Second place would be the dialect of the beauty in the snow, the Hokkaido dialect. The use of the dialect in the 2D world is also widespread so it's a surekill moe dialect. I did say I wanted to kill time by talking with him, but none of this made any sense to me. But before I could reply in any manner, Sotomura started whistling a strange onomatopoeia sounding like 'doururururururu'. "The number one in my dialect ranking would have to be the dialect that lolis to Onee-sans all use in a versatile manner, the Hakata dialect. It's said to be the ultimate dialect with a wide variety of slangs. These three dialects are my best 3" Sotomura continues on. Unfortunately, I couldn't understand what he wanted to tell me although I did realize he was quite passionate about the subject. But it seemed it at least succeeded in killing time since by the time we finished the conversation we had arrived in front of the designated meeting room with the name of our group (Rabbit) written on a plate in front of it on the second floor. Since the exam was already underway, students crowded the corridor and gave me a sense of claustrophobia.

(Continued)

"Playtime ended yesterday. From here on out, expect to fight for yourself and for the sake of your class". Yukimura mainly directed those words at Sotomura, but I also nodded at him in acknowledgment. "Haaa...no matter how many times I look at it this is a sorry team I have". That statement came from one of the girls who entered the room, looked at us and sighed. It was one of the pretty girls of Class D (although a bit gaudy). Karuizawa Kei. Including her, 11 people were currently in our room sitting in chairs arranged in a circular formation. Given the number of chairs still left empty, I thought we were probably the last ones to arrive. I wouldn't be able to identify them from the list alone but there were several students besides Ichinose and Ibuki in the room that I recognized. There was a male student from Class A who approached me during the island test to propose an alliance to sabotage Class D. But I don't recognize most of the other male and female students in the room. It seems like we, who were rivals just yesterday, were going to be forced to cooperate in this exam.

(Continued)

Naturally, it's not only our class but the other classes that were also feeling confused and awkward from this sudden arrangement. We opted to sit in the chairs since standing would just make us stand out even more. Students almost instinctively sat in groups based on classes, but Karuizawa and Ibuki both sat further out from the circle of students almost as if they were both isolated from the group. "Hmm...what's wrong?". "Did you notice something, Ayanokouji?". "...no. It's nothing". I had thought Karuizawa would confront Ibuki the moment she saw her. After all, it was Ibuki Mio in front of us who was responsible for stealing her underwear back on the island test. I thought she'd go for revenge immediately, but perhaps Karuizawa is more mature than I expected, or was it that she'd finished with her revenge already. In either case, the fact that Karuizawa did not even seem upset was unnatural. But before I could voice those questions, an announcement came from the onboard speakers installed in the rooms of the ship. "From this point onwards, we will begin with the first group discussion". Just that. A short announcement, but since no one in the group from different classes know each other well, there was no one willing to take the initiative in starting the discussion.

(Continued)

As such, an awkward air came over the room. Then, the girl named Ichinose Honami stepped up with a glowing smile and after confirming that no one else would be taking the initiative. Spoke. "I do know most of the people here, but I suppose in accordance with the school's instructions, we should introduce ourselves firstly. Since there are also people who might not know each other yet" she spoke to the group. It's definitely not easy being the leader of a group like this, one must be able to inspire students, some of whom might even be from opposing classes, and bring them all together as one to clear the exam. But Ichinose didn't seem to dislike it, in fact, she seemed to be having fun leading the group. Some students from Class A could not hide their surprise at her unexpectedly taking the lead. "I don't think there's any need for that. The school's just saying it as a formality. Only the ones who want to introduce themselves should do it" it was Machida who said that to Ichinose. "If Machida-kun doesn't wish to do it, then I certainly can't force you to. But there may be a recorder hidden somewhere in this room. If we blatantly disobey the instructions from the school, it may not just be you but the whole group that gets punished, you know?" Ichinose quickly replies to Machida. Basically, being selfish here may cost the entire group. Putting it like that, she made it so even the guy named Machida from Class A cannot help but accept her reasoning.

(Continued)

My waifu sakura is cute

Here's hoping that Keifags/Sudoposters won't ruin this thread.

She then started the self-introductions by introducing herself. I think back to the first day of high school and how I messed up my self-introduction back then. But when my turn to introduce myself to the group came, it ended up being the same, dull and monotonous introduction as that day. "Yaa~ho Ayanokouji-kun. It seems we're in the same group. Let's get along" Ichinose called out to me with a friendly and consoling voice as I get back to my seat. Once everyone's self-introductions were over and done with, Ichinose once again stepped up to speak. "So, we've done as the school instructed. How would you guys like to proceed from now on? If any of you object to me being the leader, would you please tell me so?". Ichinose spoke in a tone as if asking if anyone would like to take the leadership position from her. Of course, saying it in a way like that ensured that no one would ever wrest the leadership spot from her. There may be students among us who are not satisfied with the way Ichinose does things, but fearing the possibility that the responsibility of leadership would be thrust on them, none would speak up now.

(Continued)

For anyone wondering, this is the translation for the second chapter of volume 4.

Fucking base, thanks.

It's the part 2 of ch 2?

We both know it won't happen and they won't shut the fuck up.

Yep. He posted the end of part 1 in the previous thread.

Ahh, okay. I did right then.

>implying it's only Sudo/Kei posters that shitpost.
You're not helping.

I wasn't implying that.

Posting the undisputed best boy.

Every fucking time I come into these threads, your gay ass always post the same Goddamn pic.

"Since no one would like to take the leader spot, can I proceed? Firstly, I believe we should discuss aspects of the exam some don't quite understand yet, or any other questions and concerns you might have regarding it. Otherwise, this ambiguous situation will continue on as it is" Ichinose said as she proposed the first topic of discussion. There was no resistance from the group to her suggestion and there were no hands or voices raised against her. Things like that can often happen when strangers gather together as a group and the fact that one can act without fear of such opposition is the mark of a true leader. Ichinose then put her hands on her hips and smiled resolutely. "I'd like to ask everyone here something and I'm going to ask everyone assuming that no one here is the "target". I'd like to ask if everyone here would like to work together to clear this exam through outcome 1. I'd like to ask you if you all think this is the best course of action or not?" Ichinose asks us. "Huh? What do you mean? Isn't that obvious?" Karuizawa was the one who replied to her question. She acted like she understood yet more likely than not she didn't, but in a situation like this, the first one who speaks their mind can decide their place in the group hierarchy, whether it be superior or inferior. Yukimura, and a girl from Class C named Manabe also seemed to realize this, replying in the same manner as if to be in sync with Karuizawa. Obviously, if at all possible, it makes sense everyone here would want to aim for the first possible outcome.

(Continued)

You were, by deliberately leaving out the other bunch of shitposters

Nah, he wasn't.

You were

>Kids fight now
Pls, stop and post your favorite girl.

Sudo x Whorikita confirmed OTP.

Sorry then, I deleted the post.

Please don't. At least start this nonsense after TL-kun is finished.

As if to agree with Ichinose's statement, one of the male students from Class B raised his hands. If I recall, the name he gave during his self-introduction was Hamaguchi Tetsuya. "I agree with her, of course, cooperating with each other as a group is the obvious course of action here" he said. It wasn't a bad question to start the discussion out with, I must admit. It seems quite a few of the students haven't noticed it yet, but by asking a seemingly casual and obvious question like this, it may be possible to discern who is not the "target" while fostering a positive attitude amongst the members of the group. If one plays it right, they may even be able to narrow down the list of suspects for the "target" at this stage. It might still be difficult to decide black or white for certain with this one question. Ichinose, the one who asked the question. Karuizawa, who first answered her. Then Yukimura and Manabe who followed up on Karuizawa's answer. And Hamaguchi of Class B. It wouldn't be surprising if the "target" were among them and boldly answered the question without missing a beat.

(Continued. I'll be back in 15 minutes)

Thanks TL-user.

Ayanokouji as moe as ever

But they're all my favourites, user. I can't just pick one.

...

Thanks user

...

I went along with them so as to not ruin the atmosphere they had right now. "We're a group after all, and our private points are all low right now anyways, I'd like to cooperate if possible. How about Sotomura?" I ask. Sotomura, whose stomach seems to now be in pain from eating too much, was rubbing his belly when I called out to him all of a sudden, causing his shoulders to jump in surprise. "Of course, I'll also cooperate since I get points from doing so too" he replies. It seems Sotomura is still trying to keep up his cool, mysterious character act. And observing all of us, were the students of Class A who only consisted of male students.

(Continued)

we back

Woah the bottom panel is perfect for the sleeping gachimuchi meme, or the meme with sleeping shaq

...

...

They seem to be calmly observing us to see what direction the group's discussion will take. "Ichinose, that question is unfair isn't it? If you're not the "target" by saying that, you manage to gather the entire group up as one against the "target", and there's no one who would blatantly disagree with you and declare themselves as a traitor after your statement. It's almost like you're painting the "target" as the bad one for not speaking out, I believe this is a very inappropriate question you've asked us". It was Machida who told that to Ichinose in a stern tone of voice.

(Continued)

I can hear it

this will be fun

I want to fuck Ichinose.

He seems to be clearly different from the students of Class D and Class C who simply went along with the flow and agreed with Ichinose. It almost seemed as if this were an interrogation and he was watching and criticizing Ichinose's words. Hamaguchi, having heard Machida's complaint, replied to him calmly "Isn't this a reasonable question for this sort of exam? Ichinose-san did not use any sort of threat to force us to cooperate or divulge information, if you don't want to all you have to do is stay silent". Hamaguchi quickly puts a stop to Class A's criticism of Ichinose. It seems civil war is breaking out amongst the group already, Machida was not surprised at all by Hamaguchi's retaliation, almost as if he'd already expected this would happen. "Indeed, we have the right to remain silent. And as such, that is what me and the rest of Class A will be doing, keep our silence". Machida bluntly rejected Ichinose's offer to cooperate. And the remaining Class A students follow his lead. And following their lead in turn, the remaining students who have not yet answered also chose to keep silent. "Perhaps I came on too strong with that question?". In response to this unexpected rejection, Ichinose smiled bitterly.

(Continued)

Me too.

You guys wouldn't last a minute inside that thing.

>a minute
I wouldn't last 15 seconds.

I wouldn't last 1 poke

"No, Ichinose-san. Your question was perfectly reasonable. But I suppose their wariness was slightly stronger than we expected. Tell me, then, Machida-kun. What questions here would you consider appropriate? We could talk about our favourite foods and hobbies, but I doubt the exam will cover anything of the sort. That would mean you have nothing to offer the group except your silence" Hamaguchi tells Machida. "Nothing else to offer? No such thing" Machida tries to respond. "I myself do not know what Ichinose-san intended with that question, but in this exam, I know that discussion between students is vital. In the case that you still refuse to keep your silence, we will have no other choice but to continue our discussion without Class A in it. At the very least, you could help us decide what topic we should start the discussion on" Hamaguchi retorts to Machida. Hamaguchi is right, exactly as he said, just by keeping silent you won't get any closer to finding the "target" or clearing the exam. Machida should know this as well, despite him crossing his arms and keeping silent. Seeing the situation as a castle gate closed shut, Ichinose tries to break through.

(Continued)

The average user wouldn't last a minute inside any one of the girls in this LN. Even Horikita, who is very likely to be a dead fish in bed, would still milk you dry in under a minute. Every other girl would cause you to cum in seconds, especially Ichinose.

Damn. I didn't expect these response.

>Horikita 1 minute
>Kushida 20 seconds
>Sakura 10 seconds
>Karuizawa 40 seconds
>Ichinose 5 seconds

>Kushida 20 seconds
Correct that to 3 seconds and it's a good list. Psycho bitches put out the best

"In that case, although reluctant, I guess we'll have to decide the leader with a majority vote. There will undoubtedly be suspicion directed at the ones who refuse to answer the question and we can name the "target" later. Would everyone be ok with that?" Ichinose broke through the castle known as Class A with those words. Horikita also thinks similarly to Ichinose, but the difference between them is that Ichinose is easily able to rally the people around her to her side. To fight a battle while receiving the approval of the people around you makes her a very powerful presence in this situation. Frankly, Ichinose already holds the majority vote in her hands the moment she took the initiative in the discussion. As far as I could tell, no one else in the school is capable of doing the same thing she does. Katsuragi and Ryuuen would not be able to do what she did. Hirata and Kushida would not be able to do it either.

(Continued)

And grey hat

And cancer-kun

And that's why Ichinose is top tier and a good rival to 50%. He already crushed Ryuuen and Kushida, Katsuragi and Horikita are easy to read. Ichinose has so much charisma and confidence.

"...Are you threatening me?". "Don't get me wrong, we just want to discuss things with you all. You're free to decide for yourself what you wish to discuss and what you wish to not discuss. But I would like people to participate in the discussion at this stage, since it is a required condition in this exam". Machida seems to not comprehend her words and starts muttering to himself strangely. "This exam, can it really be resolved just by talking? Do you really think we'll figure out the "target" just by talking with each other? Or are you going to lower your head and beg them to reveal themselves?" Machida finally tells Ichinose. I see, it looks like Class A's approach to this exam has already been decided, but this approach doesn't seem to be Machida's. I think I'm starting to see the man acting behind Machida. "So, is there another way?". Ichinose asks Machida, having full confidence in her approach. But of course, this is something Class A already expected her to ask. "...Yes. There is a way to easily and definitively clear this exam". One of the students from Class A suddenly spoke up. Both Ichinose and Hamaguchi could not conceal their surprise at this. "...could you explain your strategy to us?" she asks them. "Sure. We are a 'group' after all so it's natural to share such information". Machida, no, the whole of Class A came up with an extremely simple strategy. "The strategy we came up with is...to not talk at all from the start of the exam until its finish" he said at last.

(Continued)

It's time for Ichinose to put the arrongant A class in their place.

>Ichinose: "Will you help us out?"
>Class Ayy:"I don't wanna, I'm gonna keep qwhyyet until its over. Hmph"
>Ichinose: ...

Now I know why they got negative points

He said it loud enough for us, sitting on the sidelines of the discussion, to hear as well. It seemed both Karuizawa and Sotomura also understood what he meant to say. "Now that's a pretty unique proposition, but how do you propose to clear the exam without any discussion at all. Or are you suggesting we let the identity of the "target" remain completely hidden to the end?". Instead of Ichinose, it was Hamaguchi who cut in and spoke out. "Indeed, the real shortcut to clearing this exam as efficiently as possible is to do so without talking to each other at all." Machida said in reply. "I can't believe this. This is starting to make us think that the "target" student is among the students of Class A and this action is being taken to help protect their identity while sharing information amongst your classmates only." Naturally, if the "target" is already in your class, there's no need to talk to anyone else nor participate in any discussion. It can't be helped that Hamaguchi would be suspicious of them after that. Not only Hamaguchi, but it can't be helped if everyone else suspects them after that.

(Continued)

>Class Ayy
holy shit my sides

...

"No. It doesn't matter what class the "target" is in, it won't affect the outcome. If we simply do not talk to each other we can win, that is the strategy that Katsuragi-san devised for us". "Katsuragi-kun?...I see" . Ichinose seemed to understand too the moment she heard Katsuragi's name being mentioned. Machida then turned towards Yukimura, who did not seem to understand his explanation, and began to explain his strategy. "There can only be four possible outcomes in this exam. I believe you have already been briefed on them all. What do you think is the outcome we should all aim to avoid in this exam?" Machida suddenly turns towards Karuizawa and asks her the question. "Ehhh...the outcome where someone figures out the "target"'s identity and betrays the group?" she replies. "Exactly, the moment a traitor emerges we lose as a group. Whether the traitor answers correctly or incorrectly, both paths lead to a loss. But, thinking in reverse, what about the other possible outcomes?" Machida looks towards Yukimura for an answer.

(Continued)

This way of doing things is radical and stupid
Sasuga Katsuragi.

Well why do you think Sakayanagi becomes leader of A class after this?

"The other possible outcomes? An outcome where a negative result does not occur?". "Indeed, there are no demerits in either of the remaining two possible outcomes. The class points will neither rise nor fall drastically, and in addition we gain a tremendous amount of private points as well. The only loser in this scenario would be the faculty. There is no need to find the "target" student. By discussing amongst ourselves, we will only end up suspecting each other of hiding the "target" and end up slipping up somewhere and make a mistake".

"We do recognize the soundness of this strategy to a certain extent, however, as long as we don't know which class the "target" belongs to, there is always the possibility that the point gap between the classes may widen further. If the "target" belongs to a certain class and ends up favouring that class, said class may gain millions of points in the form of private points. Although the class point itself will not be affected, I'm sure everybody understands the impact a difference in private points can make for a class." Hamaguchi counters Machida's points.

(Continued)

Sakura's the cutest.

Hamaguchi is right, private points are also extremely useful. One can buy test scores, for instance, or even change classes depending on how one chooses to use them. Hamaguchi is correct in assuming that the "target" may choose to favour their class to use those private points in such a manner. But this argument won't work against Class A, after all, Katsuragi must have already realized the "trick" hidden in this exam. They would not have boldly proposed this strategy to us otherwise. "Think about it carefully, the school would definitely not give any class an unfair advantage in an exam like this. To the point they emphasized their impartiality before the exam's start during the briefing. Of course there's no denying the fact that there is only one "target" in each group but that is not important. The important thing is that every class has an 'equal' opportunity to have the "target". There's no denying the fact that in this exam, both Class A and Class D would start equally at the same starting line" Machida says. For those advocating Katsuragi's strategy, they would naturally insist that there would be no discussion and allow points to be equally distributed amongst the classes regardless of which class the "target" belongs to.

(Continued)

Best boy

How does he even survive with his measly 52 points? The guy doesn't seem like the type to work hard for points at all. How does he afford the basic necessities he needs to survive?

>I'm rich, I'll let you pay for my dinner bitch

prostitution?

He's a scion.

But Hamaguchi responded to Class A's unexpected proposal promptly. "I admit the school made sure every class starts out equally in fairness. And if you take their word for it, certainly you're train of thought is not wrong. But, we cannot be certain of that fact yet". It was the hard truth, but Hamaguchi did his best to voice it anyways. The school would certainly try to avoid bias by not assigning the "target" student to specific classes. That much would be easy to guess for anybody. "I believe you understand as well, but by talking amongst each other now, we will only create suspicion and doubt and could cause a breakdown in our group relationships. There is indeed the possibility that you will find the "target" this way, but you also run the risk of a traitor emerging and causing the group to suffer for their own sake." Machida continues.

"You're right, it's not a bad thing if we all profit while having the school lose out in the process" Ichinose says as she accepts the strategy Katsuragi devised for the exam. Machida was looking at us with a face that seemed to be saying he was the one who proposed the logical course of action, but it doesn't seem like Ichinose is willing to meekly accept their strategy. "But to execute that strategy will be difficult, perhaps even more difficult than if we simply talked with each other. I will not talk, I will not doubt and I will not betray. Unless every student here can abide by that, that strategy is pointless. Since the school already gurantees anonymity for the students, trust between each other also becomes an issue. It would be great if the points can be equally distributed between all of us at the end, but couldn't there also be a risk of someone breaking that trust and taking the points for themselves?". In that case, one student in one class would get the points for themselves while hiding it from the rest of the class. It would indeed bring about an awkward atmosphere.

I'm going to sleep for a while. I'll continue translating tomorrow. In this thread if it's still up, or I can make another if not.

Okay thanks TL-user.

Thanks based TL-user sleep well.

Last for Horikita best girl.

Pastebin updated.

thanks as always user, sleep well.

Sudo pls.

Is there a better scan of this?

I second that, user.

Holy shit, where is this from? The Karuizawa SS? That Kei though, I want to touch those heavenly thighs so bad.

Kiyotaka will soon get to fuck this raw every night. Why didn't Hirata-kun take her virginity while he had the chance? Now Kiyopon's going to go 100% on her.

GoogleDrive user here will be updating shortly.

Kei is a pitiful girl.
She is like one of those woman who are completely dependente on their husband and would completely fall apart if they were to lose them. Accepting even other woman by the husbands side to avoid this outcome.

Oh god, she is perfect.

Yes, her SS, but I can't find the raws anywhere. And chinks only have Horikita, Kushida, Ichinose and Sakura's SS from vol 4.5

Nope.
Don't know but that drawing looks like the manga artist.

Is this it?
buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/x512687403

I think that's from vol 4, the "most important person in these 3 years" one

Nevermind, that's the one

Want me to try and get it?

If it's a physical copy it might not be worth it, user. If it's a digital version that you can rip raws from then it's definitely worth it. I'd wager TL-user will be willing to suspend the current translation to translate the SS if you can provide us the raws. Kei's SS shouldn't be that long anyways.

SSs are very short, probably 1 or 2 pages.

He can scan it.

This, fuck kei.
