Ishizaki: Seriously...they should give special exams like these more often.
Hiyori: I wouldn't call it an exam, it's more like a game of sort.
Katsuragi: It's right before event selection, so maybe a warm up?
Hosen: This looks like free money to me.
Ichika: I hope they hold one for our year. Seems really fun~
Nanase: It wouldn't be bad.
Keisei and Akito already had quit for the day, as they wanted to study and go to club respectively. Haruka and Airi also wanted to hangout, so Kiyotaka was free for the day as well. He took his bag and was preparing himself to go out, when his tab glowed. He found himself with a new message.
✅ Kouenji Rokusuke from Year 1 Class C has given you a rating : 8/10
Kiyotaka almost pinched himself to see if he was dreaming or not. He looked around, but Kouenji wasn't in the classroom. He had heard from the others that only Kouenji hasn't rated anyone in the class, even though some people rated him. He wondered if it was only a rumour. Without thinking much, Kiyotaka gave him a 9/10, before heading out.
Those who knew Kouenji's nature, were absolutely stunned.
Nagumo: Color me surprised.
Ishizaki: That guy actually gave a rating?
Ryuen: Kuku even if it's Ayanokoji, I can hardly imagine him bothering to do so.
Even Kiyotaka himself was surprised. Kouenji simply smiled and didn't say anything.
Hashimoto: Oh!
Something clicked in his head.
Hashimoto: Is it because of the T-Rex thing?
The boys who know nodded in understanding.
Kamuro: The what?
Nishikawa: What is this T-Rex?
Hashimoto: Oh, just a guy thing. Don't worry about it.
Kamuro:....gross
He went to the cafeteria since he was feeling hungry. When he got there, he noticed a very unusual scenery.
Hirata was sitting alone at a table.
Kiyotaka scratched his eyes, to make sure he was seeing it right. But yes, the Hirata Yousuke was indeed sitting alone. But he could also be waiting for someone, which crossed Kiyotaka's mind, but something told him that it wasn't the case.
Seeing that something was about to occur, everyone paid attention.
He quickly got his food in a tray and approached Hirata curiously, after making sure no one was around him.
"Hey."
"H-huh? Oh... it's you Ayanokoji-kun," Hirata was surprised at first, but quickly composed himself.
"Is something wrong?"
"No. Well, it's nothing you need to concern about..."
Kiyotaka sat beside him.
"You can share if something's troubling you. Only if I am okay with you," Kiyotaka said, reassuringly. Hirata looked at him for a moment, before smiling and nodding his head.
"Alright. Well, you see..."
After hearing the situation, Kiyotaka was wondering if it was a good idea to come here.
The summary was basically: Some of the guys in their class forced Hirata to gather ratings for them. By guilt tripping Hirata saying that he will obviously have the highest rating and others wouldn't get a chance, they managed to push this troublesome task on Hirata alone.
The girls immediately glared at the supposed boys who could have done it, as they shrank back.
"Give him a break!"
"How annoying."
"Guess they will never change."
"Stop taking advantage of Hirata-kun!"
Ike: G-geez! Sorry, alright?
He and the boys had no way to refute since they were intellectually molested in the first year.
'He can refu- no, who I am kidding. This is Hirata we are talking about.'
Kiyotaka thought, before deciding to give him a helping hand.
"Please Ayanokoji-kun. I know you are going to help me, but let me do this at least," Hirata requested with a firm determination in his eyes.
Hirata: Thank you Ayanokoji-kun.
Kiyotaka: Sure.
Shinohara: I'm glad that he is not alone.
Maezono: So reliable!
"I don't mind Hirata. I am basically free and barely help out with the class matters. So I feel like I should lend a hand."
Hirata was surprised hearing his statement.
Kei: Barely? Right...
Satou: That's not true!
Keisei: Stop humbling yourself.
Sudou: Yeah dude.
Hirata: Sigh, I suppose you still think that.
Kiyotaka: No, I-
Suzune: It's no use denying it anymore.
Honami: So cute.
Ryuen: I guess the stuff he does is bare minimum in his eyes.
"What do you mean barely? You-"
Realization hit him suddenly, as Hirata started to chuckle.
"...I see. I almost forgot the type of person you are," Hirata muttered before smiling.
"Alright. Let's do this Ayanokoji-kun."
Kiyotaka nodded, as both of them soon separated to fulfill the task.
In reality, Kiyotaka wanted to observe something, as well as kill some time.
The first group Kiyotaka approached was a bunch of third year girls. There were four of them, chatting and relaxing in the cafeteria. They looked like they were just about to leave.
The girls who saw themselves on the screen became excited.
"Excuse me."
Hearing his monotonic voice, the girls stopped talking and looked at him. Kiyotaka saw curiosity in their eyes. He quickly took out a picture of Hondo in his tab and showed it to them.
Hondo: M-me?!
Sudou: Oh man, I've this bad feeling.
Shinohara: So it starts with you, huh?
Hondo became extremely anxious about being rated so openly. Moreover, the group Kiyotaka had approached were complete hotties of the third year.
"You don't have to rate him. Could you please just tell me your honest impression and how much would he get out of 10?" Kiyotaka asked.
He decided on this approach earlier. Instead of persuading, asking for their opinion should be good enough. If their opinion is high, then he could try and persuade them.
"Hmmmm...." the first girl looked intently for a moment, before giving a reply.
"I guess a four, if I am being generous."
An arrow struck Hondo's heart.
The second girl looked at the tab and instantly showed a '3' with her fingers. The third one took a few seconds and hesitantly gave a '2'.
Two more arrows struck.
Hashimoto: This is just public execution.
Ike and his friends became worried, not for Hondo, but for themselves when their time comes.
Asahina: How mean...
Finally, the last girl grabbed the tab and stared at it for a while, before her face morphed into disgust.
"What the hell?! You guys actually rated this mob?" she threw the question towards her friends, who all just shrugged in response.
The arrows were blown away by a powerful cannonball, as Hondo became completely downtrodden. His friends tried to cheer him up.
Mori:...deserved?
Chiaki: I think, it was too much.
Mii-chan: T-they shouldn't have forced Hirata-kun.
Hashimoto: That was very rude. Do it again.
"I guess, it's a no?" Kiyotaka asked, confused.
"Hell no!"
He nodded and silently took his tab, while giving Hondo a funeral in his mind.
Amikura: T-this is a bit...
Himeno: Is it bad to feel amused at this?
"Wait!"
Before he could walk away, one of the girls called for him. Kiyotaka looked back and curiously titled his head.
"What's your name?"
"Ayanokouji Kiyotaka from first year Class C, senpais," he politely introduced.
The girls giggled, as they took out their tabs, quickly typing on it. Kiyotaka's tab vibrated showing four new messages.
✅ Izanami Yui from Year 3 Class B has given you a rating : 10/10
✅ Watanabe Fumiko from Year 3 Class B has given you a rating : 10/10
✅ Kanata Chiyo from Year 3 Class B has given you a rating : 10/10
✅ Takahashi Sayoko from Year 3 Class B has given you a rating : 10/10
"See you around Kohai~"
"Bye bye~"
The group of girls walked away giggling and laughing, as our protagonist stood there like a wall.
'...what just happened?' he thought as he looked down on his tab.
Yui: Oh my~
Chiyo: Good job, me!
Kiyotaka felt glares, not only from his peers, but also from the upperclassmen.
Honami: Is this how...Karuizawa-san feels like?
Kei: Mouu!!!
Shibata: T-this is beyond me. How did he even do that?!
Hashimoto: He casually rizzed them up before we could blink. I doubt even Kouenji could do that.
Kouenji: Hoh? Are you challenging me, Snake-kun?
Amikura: First impressions do matter here the most I guess.
Asahina: I think I get I how they feel. Ayanokoji-kun has this impression of an innocent and adorable guy.
Fumiko: Yes yes!
Sayoko: I totally know right?
Hearing them say this, Nagumo tried his best to not burst out laughing. Even Manabu felt oddly uncomfortable.
Ryuen:...Innocent?
Ibuki:....Adorable?
Hiyori: Hehe I agree.
Suzune: They are quite misguided.
Kiyotaka: Let them be.
For now, we can conclude that Kiyotaka had failed his first task....successfully.
After exiting the cafeteria, Kiyotaka was looking to see if he can find anyone else.
In the meanwhile, he received more messages.
✅ Ishizaki Daichi from Year 1 Class D has given you a rating : 10/10
✅ Yamada Albert from Year 1 Class D has given you a rating : 10/10
✅ Shiina Hiyori from Year 1 Class D has given you a rating : 10/10
He more or less expected Hiyori's, but a full rating from the former two? He honestly had no idea.
Ishizaki: Heh..
Albert: 👍
Hiyori smiled happily.
While thinking about it, he saw Manabe Shiho of Class D walking towards him. Kiyotaka remembered seeing her friends in the cafe, so he figured she must be going there to meet them. He thought this was a good opportunity.
"Hello."
"H-huh?!" Manabe was surprised initially, but rolled her eyes in annoyance when she recognized him.
"What?"
"Could you give me your honest opinion on this guy?" Kiyotaka showed a picture of Miyamoto.
Miyamoto was caught off guard, before yelling loudly.
"Yamerrrooo!!!"
"Huh? Are you asking for-"
"No. I just want your opinion. Nothing else," he ensured.
Manabe gave him a suspicious look as she looked at the tab. After staring for a few seconds, she spoke.
"Ten."
"Huh?"
"Huh?!"
They were stunned for a second.
Kiyotaka was genuinely baffled for a moment.
"...times zero."
Saying so, Manabe huffed and quickly walked away.
The glimmer of hope was gone, as Miyamoto collapsed on the spot, next to his friend Hondo.
Azuma: She almost gave me a heart attack.
Nishimura: Heehe, how mean...
Giving a second funeral in his mind, Kiyotaka looked for his next target.
Looking around aimlessly, he found himself face to face with a familiar person.
"Ara~ if it isn't Ayanokoji-kun?"
Kiyotaka silently cursed his luck as Sakayanagi Arisu, leader of Class A smiled at him. Hashimoto and Kamuro were also with her.
Arisu: Oh my, why would you think that Ayanokoji-kun? I feel upset.
Kiyotaka: Sorry.
Hearing the most monotonic apology ever from him, caused Arisu to get looks of pity instead.
"Oh, hello," Kiyotaka curtly replied and was about to walk away.
"Hey King, Since we met anyway, let's rate each other," Hashimoti suggested with a sly smirk.
"....king?" Kamuro muttered in confusion, but decided not to poke her nose.
Kiyotaka nodded, while silently cursing Hashimoto in his mind for that stupid nickname.
Hashimoto: Oops.
Kamuro: Guy thing, huh?
Hashimoto: Yep.
Hashimoto immediately brought out his tab. Arisu followed his actions and used hers as well.
"Aren't you going to rate too, Masumi-san?" Arisu asked.
"Don't wanna."
"C'mon, don't be so stiff. It's just a silly game anyways. Why don't you take this chance to show your true feeli- Ouch!" Hashimoto screamed as Kamuro twisted his ear. She never got a good feeling whenever Hashimoto opened his mouth.
Kamuro looked away.
"Bastard."
Hashimoto: Is she embarrassed?
He whispered to Arisu.
Arisu: Fufu definitely.
Honami: Not another one..
Watching their antics, Kiyotaka felt a vibration as he looked at his tab.
✅ Sakayanagi Arisu from Year 1 Class A has given you a rating : 10/10
✅ Hashimoto Masayoshi from Year 1 Class A has given you a rating : 9/10
✅ Kamuro Masumi from Year 1 Class A has given you a rating : 8/10
Kiyotaka reciprocated their ratings as well.
Arisu: You don't have to hold back for me, Hashimoto-kun.
Seeing how he didn't give him a ten, Arisu spoke. Hashimoto just smiled in response.
Kei: Kamuro-san gave you quite a high rating.
Since they knew Arisu was his childhood friend, it wasn't surprising to see her giving a ten.
Kiyotaka: Must be luck.
Ike: Suspicious...
'Hm, since they are here...'
Kiyotaka opened the casket and brought out Miyamoto again.
He explained the situation to them before showing the tab.
Miyamoto: NOOO, NOT AGAIN! LEAVE ME ALONE!!!
The guys genuinely felt bad for him at this point.
"Hmm, seems pretty average, no maybe lower...." Hashimoto mumbled a bit before deciding.
"Four, I guess?" he said.
"I will be neutral and say five," Arisu followed.
The two of them looked at Kamuro, as if telling her to give a rating.
"Ugh, fine." She properly looked at the picture this time and told Kiyotaka.
"Two. Take it or leave."
"Damn, brutal..." Hashimoto whistled.
Kiyotaka slowly put back Miyamoto inside the casket and closed the lid. At least, it seemed a little better than ten times zero.
Miyamoto: Thanks...Ayanokoji.
He had already accepted his fate.
Hondo: At least someone like Sakayanagi-san gave you a five.
Ike: That's pretty good, I would say.
Chiaki: No. I am pretty sure she didn't even look at the tab.
After parting with them, Kiyotaka continued on his little mission. This was starting to get a little fun.
This time, the boys who were on the scale of low ratings glared at him.
Miyamoto: I take that back. Fuck you, Ayanokoji.
Hondo: Yeah!
Akito: Hey now. It wasn't him to begin with.
Ryuen: Kukuku but I agree. Seeing you guys getting verbally screwed is really funny.
Ishizaki: I hope they won't show mine.
Except those guys, mostly everybody was enjoying this video.
He approached another female senpai this time.
"Hmm, a 3 honestly," she said while looking at Yamauchi.
"Really?"
"Yeah. He's not really my type."
"A three's not bad for him."
"Pretty low, still."
Kushida: A three?! Is she smoking weed or something? That's too high!!
Kiyotaka nodded, as something came on his mind.
"How would you rate yourself, senpai?"
"A 10 of course!"
An instant reply. Kiyotaka was intrigued.
"Do you think others will agree?"
"Meh. I don't care about what other's think. Confidence is key," she proudly said and walked away.
Kiyotaka noted that in his mind.
Seeing her face, some of the boys held themselves back from making a moment comment. Some things are better left unmentioned, after all.
This time, he approached a male senior. He showed him the same girl he talked to a while ago and asked him how he would rate her.
"Uhh....I don't know man... looks like a fucking lizard to me."
Was the senpai's nonchalant reply.
The thing that was on their mind was put into words.
No one could hold back, as the boys burst out laughing uncontrollably. Even the girls had to restrain themselves.
Ryuen: Kukukuhaha where is that lizard?
Hiyori: S-so mean...
Asahina: S-sadly, sh-she was expelled l-last year...
She tried her best to keep herself from laughing, since it was a sensitive topic.
Shibata: Pfft! He didn't even consider her a human-pffft hahaha
Amikura: T-that's rude, Shibata-kun.
Himeno: What's the worst he could say, they thought.
Onodera: Sudou-kun...
She muttered in concern, seeing him and the other guys almost out of breath.
Suzune: I don't get how this is so funny...
Kiyotaka: You are a good girl, Horikita.
"Hmm, a 5...no I guess a 6," said another female senpai, looking at Ike's photo.
Ike had looks decent enough to earn him a 6, but if she knew his personality, the rating would probably be in the negative, is what Kiyotaka thought.
Hondo: Way to go, having a rating much decent than us.
Miyamoto: Traitor...
Ike: C-cheer up guys. At least my personality's shit.
Shinohara:....did you just sound proud about that?
Ike: N-no! That's what Ayanokouji thinks. I am still improving!!
Maezono: A negative rating is necessary.
Azuma: Agreed.
He looked at his tab to see 50% battery still remaining. Just that moment, two new messages arrived.
✅ Asahina Nazuna from Year 2 Class A has given you a rating : 9/10
✅ Nagumo Miyabi from Year 2 Class A has given you a rating : 7/10
Kiyotaka wondered if it was Nagumo's way of telling that he is watching.
Without thinking much, he gave Asahina a full rating, while giving Nagumo a 8/10....very reluctantly.
Kiyotaka: How annoying.
Asahina: Seven is a bit too low Miyabi.
Nagumo: I can see that. I was probably still confused about his presence.
Asahina: So how would you rate him now?
Nagumo:...nine, maybe?
Asahina: Still confused, huh?
After that, he proceeded to carry on with his task.
"How would you rate yourself?"
"....a four? Nah, that's too much. Three will do."
"An eight I guess. Only if I had a bit more confidence."
"Ten, if I was more outgoing. But, seven will do for now.
"Six, maybe? It's my favourite number too."
"Five. I was born neutral."
"I am broke."
"The most relatable one so far."
There were many voices of agreement.
"As high as my english score."
"My rating would be close to zero in that case."
Again, many agreed with that.
"I've been in Class D for three years. Does that answer?"
Maezono: We got a promotion by the second semester though.
Mori: It doesn't mean our suffering had lessened.
"Rating? Who does that shit? I am fine with just
