Year 2 Volume 12.5 Epilogue: "A New Beginning"Anime TVJanuary 13, 2025Introduction After attending the opening ceremony, the teachers gathered in the staff room to discuss some formalities.

Soon, they would have to head to their classrooms, where the students were already waiting for them.

— Sae-chan, shall we walk together? Hoshinomiya addressed Chabashira.

It was their first conversation since they had spoken in Mashima's room during the spring break.

Hoshinomiya was one of the first to leave the office.

— Oh, of course.

Chabashira grabbed her tablet and followed her.

— You're probably curious, aren't you? About what I'm going to do next?

— Naturally. Will you share what you've decided?

— Sure. Nothing has changed. I will never let your class finish in Class A.

Ayanokoji was no ordinary student.

There was a chance he might actually find a solution. Chabashira had harbored faint hopes for this, but in the end, it proved impossible.

Ultimately, this problem didn't concern the students but the teachers.

At least, that's what Chabashira believed.

— So, you'll keep using underhanded tactics?

— I didn't say that. Let me clarify something.

If Hoshinomiya were to announce she planned to use any tricks, Chabashira was prepared to report it to the administration without hesitation.

— Earlier, I said I would resort to deceitful methods to defeat your class. I take those words back.

Contrary to Chabashira's expectations, Hoshinomiya seemed to have a change of heart.

— R-really? You wouldn't lie to me while looking me straight in the eye, would you?

— You don't have to believe me, I understand. But I'm not joking. Hoshinomiya confirmed the sincerity of her intentions once again. Hearing this, Chabashira felt more confusion than relief.

— Are those your final words? Or are you going to set some impossible conditions for me?

— Relax, Sae-chan. You can keep treating all your students with the same care as before. After all, who am I to demand the impossible from you?

— But...

— I get it. You probably want to know why I've changed my mind, right?

Right now, that was all Chabashira could think about, so she immediately nodded.

— Ayanokoji-kun convinced me. I simply agreed with his arguments, that's all.

— Ayanokoji-kun? So he succeeded?

— Of course, he did. Let me tell you, he's an outstanding student. Not only can he manipulate exam results, but also the emotions of others. He even managed to overcome my grudge. Don't you think Ayanokoji-kun really is like a joker?

Hoshinomiya had previously compared Ayanokoji to a joker.

As their conversation progressed, the situation became clearer in Chabashira's mind.

— You want to know exactly how he convinced me, don't you?

— I do, honestly. I still can't believe it...

— I understand. But don't worry, you'll understand everything soon enough.

At that moment, Chabashira and Hoshinomiya began climbing the stairs leading to the corridor with all the classrooms.

— And it's all because...

They reached the last landing, turned the corner, and found themselves in the hallway.

— Because the joker card you needed to win, Sae-chan... is no longer in your deck.

Hoshinomiya had just compared Ayanokoji to a joker and then immediately declared that Chabashira no longer had him.

This statement, of course, couldn't help but puzzle Chabashira.

— Exactly. And if that joker is now in my deck, then I finally have a real chance to win. So, Sae-chan, let's fight fairly next year, okay?

With these words, Hoshinomiya smiled boldly and placed her hand on the doorknob of Class 3-D.

— Sae-chan, why don't you check on your class?

— Check? Chie-chan, I don't understand where you're going with this...

Confused, Chabashira couldn't process Hoshinomiya's words and stood frozen in place.

Suddenly, she began to piece it all together.

— Ha-ha-ha! I can't wait to see the look of despair on your face! With that, Hoshinomiya entered her classroom, slamming the door behind her.

No, this couldn't possibly be true. Chabashira thought the likelihood of such an outcome was less than 1 percent.

She wanted to sprint to her classroom, but she suppressed the urge, slowly walking toward her destination.

Finally, she reached the classroom with the nameplate that had only appeared in her dreams before — 3-A.

Suddenly, one of the teachers rushed over to Chabashira:

— Chabashira-sensei, one of your students just transferred!

The teacher continued speaking, but Chabashira could no longer hear them.

Year 2 Volume 12.5 Epilogue: "A New Beginning"Anime TVJanuary 13, 2025Part 1The homeroom teacher was about to enter their classroom when they were stopped by a school administration representative standing beside me.

After understanding the situation, the teacher looked at me, unable to hide their surprise.

Exchanging a few more words, we entered the classroom together.

The opening ceremony of the school year had ended. It was time for homeroom.

The homeroom teacher was delayed, and the students were beginning to show signs of restlessness.

I stepped onto a stage that was entirely new to me.

On some students' faces, nervous expressions were frozen. Others looked at me with stern gazes.

However, there were also those who greeted me with welcoming smiles.

The atmosphere in this class was entirely unfamiliar to me. Unlike any other I had encountered.

Though each of them viewed me differently, none of them seemed surprised.

After all, they had been informed of my arrival beforehand.

The only one who had not been told anything was the homeroom teacher.

— I apologize for keeping you waiting after the opening ceremony. My name is Kiyotaka Ayanokoji, and I've just transferred to your class, using 20 million private points. While I cannot replace the departed Sakayanagi, if you still have the determination to fight, I assure you that I can help fix the dire

situation you find yourselves in.

I spent all my private points.

Used the private points Hashimoto had been saving for such an occasion.

And also relied on the finances of my new classmates, who agreed to contribute the necessary amount to reach 20 million private points.

Thanks to this, I was able to transfer to this class.

This class is filled to the brim with highly capable students. If I extend a helping hand, they will immediately become my allies.

A fair fight between all four classes. This is the scenario I have been aiming for all this time.

And although things didn't unfold perfectly... Now, at last, all the preparations are complete.

What lies ahead is my one-year journey in this new class.
