Volume 11.5, Epilogue: Intro - The calm before the storm

The situation with Matsushita the other day, and before that, the problem with Horikita and Ichinose. As well as the establishment of a cooperative relationship with Chairman Sakayanagi, Chabashira-sensei and Mashima-sensei.

Also, the conversation with Acting Director Tsukishiro. Many things happened around me during the spring break.

First of all, I had to remain vigilant about Tsukishiro. Unlike other problems, ignoring him will only cause the situation to worsen. The next thing I know, I might be receiving a dropout notice.

Therefore, right now, the only thing I could do was to cooperate with the other teachers to try to respond to that.

That person said someone from the white room would be enrolling into this school. Although this is not something that was guaranteed to happen, the possibility was high.

Tsukishiro could not casually enter the corridors or classrooms at any time he wanted, so he could only attack me through indirect means, such as exams.

But students on the other hand, regardless of whether it was the corridors or classrooms, they could move freely.

At any time, they can set up an environment to come into contact with me, giving them an opportunity to expel me. Also, they are more beneficial as they could collect more information.

If what was said becomes a reality, this would be considered the biggest change that happened around me.

Next, there was Horikita and Matsushita, the so-called internal problems of the class. They questioned my true abilities and also wanted to learn more about my potential.

Although Horikita decided to compete against me one on one, there was nothing that needed to be done as of now. The same was true for Ichinose, it was also a matter for the future.

For now, I only have to care about next year’s battles, and calmly do what needs to be done.

However, these were only the things that had happened around me.

As for my own changes, they were minimal.

Yes——that was until today.

The spring break was also nearing its end, with only two days remaining.

Before the students welcomed the upcoming battle, enjoying the final day of rest, I started to make a firm resolution for action as I sought a great change.

If you wanted to move forward, then you had to take advantage of it now.

It was just past 6 o’clock, and the sun had just begun to set. It was now the time when day switched to night.

Having said that, if that’s possible, there’s something I wanted to ask you all.

For example, if there was someone of the opposite sex you liked, how could you open up a path towards a confession?

If you were handsome or beautiful, then you could just cut all corners and confess right away.

As long as they replied to me, “I feel the same way!”, then it would be worthy of celebration.

However, not many people met such conditions. They had an inferiority complex when it came to their complexion, personality, and body shape.

Those three factors could serve as obstacles to the road to confession.

In short, using a “confession” as a gateway to love was not that simple of a matter.

Because of this, I would have to seriously let my imagination run wild, and think hard in order to raise the success rate of the confession.

Was the success rate 10% or 20%? Or could it be, say, 50%?

There will be times where it reached 80-90%, or the rate of the confession might even approach 100%, but we couldn’t be sure.

Even so, we still would feel uneasy.

Because we were afraid that if the confession failed, it would affect our relationship with the other tremendously.

Although the number of people who did not care about this and would just move forward was not small, but for high school students, school was all they had. They would generally be fearful of the possibility of their relationships that had been built within the small world known as school being destroyed.

So they would think ahead about what could be done to raise the success rate, by even 1%.

Then they began to put effort into increasing the success rate.

First of all, start with what you could, such as changing your hairstyle to the type the other person liked, dress nicely, or start working out. It was also possible adopt strategies such as eating a meal together or giving a present.

Using all means to increase the probability.

The probability might increase from 1% to 99%, but if it failed, the chances might reduce from 99% to 1%.

In order to understand the feelings of the other, you had to do your best.

That was the process before a confession.

Then——as for me, I had experienced it all the same.

Thinking and worrying like other men and women.

However, such things were not limited to love.

Generally speaking, all things had a sort of invisible probability, and that would change everyday according to various phenomena. Just like studying harder to enter high school or college, it would change the chances of being accepted.

And the degree to which how one understands this principle could greatly change the understanding of the situation.

Exams and confessions were only the middle stage. Even if you succeeded, it did not mark the end.

It would be better to say that more things will happen after that.

If you suffered a setback before graduation, it could lead to being expelled, and you might also break up due to unfaithfulness or violence.

This was how I thought about the future. A month later, half a year later, one year later.

Sometimes, unexpected things might happen, but I didn’t like to act out suddenly.

What’s more, those were related to those actions that I did.

Then, let’s return to the main topic.

In fact, all the things I’ve done so far was to change a “certain probability”.

Needless to say, this is obviously to increase the success rate.

As for what the success rate was, maybe it would be revealed today.

If my predictions were correct, it was about time for someone to contact me.

The phone I was holding started to ring

An 11 digit number appeared on my device’s screen.

The number which was not registered on my phone belonged to Karuizawa Kei.

“It’s me, I’m sorry for making you wait.”

After she called multiple times, I finally picked it up.

30 minutes ago, I called Kei, but she didn’t answer it. Now, she called back.

“Nevermind that, what’s the matter?”

“You sound a little dissatisfied.”

“Not really, it’s not really dissatisfaction, it’s more like I wanted to confirm something.”

“Is it about me not contacting you after calling you out?”

On the day I met Hiyori, I called Kei, but in the end, I didn’t tell her anything.

At that time, I only told her that I would contact her when I remembered.

In the end, I didn’t contact her until the end of the spring break on purpose.

“So you still remember? What, are you deliberately trying to annoy me?”

“About the thing, can we meet up and talk about it?”

I said this and cut short the topic.

“Huh?”

“About the thing I told you I would tell you once I remembered, I’ve thought about it. Can you come over now?”

“Seriously…you sure know how to pick a good time….Well, it’s not impossible, but if we’re seen by others, I won’t be responsible.”

At this time, there were many people leaving and entering the dormitory.

The probability that Kei was seen coming to my room was very high.

“You don’t need to care about that.”

I told her it didn’t matter if she was seen, and asked her to come over.

“I know. Oh yeah, I’ve got something to do at 7 o’clock, so I don’t have much time.”

“I’ll try to be quick, it might take 10 to 20 minutes.”

“Then there’s no problem, I’ll see you later.”

After saying this, Kei hung up.

Now——let’s get started.

I’ve done my preparations. I looked around my room, which was tidier than before.

For once, I looked into the mirror.

Faced with my reflection having such a serious look, I immediately looked away.
