Finding ONE MOVE better than a machine then going around acting like you can beat a chess machine no diff and that you can visualize even nearly on the same level as it without any proof is THE MOST PRETENTIOUS FAKE INTELLECTUAL THING I've ever heard of.

It gives the same vibes when you beat your friend one time in a game when he wasn't looking after 100 Ls, then quitting to go around saying you can beat him easily 😂

One clarification this doc Is also a ressume of horikita so there would be all her feats from the strongest tò the most inrelevant if you want tò look into the good Ones only scroll at the end where there Is a ressume and analysis on her best feats.

Where would you scale her based on this knowledge and could you also explain your reasoning for that?

(The characters above are typical victims of the glaze effects)

If some fans in your fandom gather and say that a character within the fandom is no-diffing on a character in a high position without clear doc. it's a sign that the character is likely to be ruined.

Especially when they say only narrative stories and call it a methodologically perfect.

(I'm only talking about methodology)

1.When fans who know nothing about SCD do it simply out of affection.

2.When malicious larpers think they have become fans without reading it and are spaming.

Usually, after a problem occurs in number 1, number 2 occurs when fans create cool edits.

(This is a separate story from 18loh. This MF explains everything)

Especially for those who want to hear accurate explanations, it's said to be "higher than x" "what do you know?" Saying "" is highly likely to result in glazing, and in such cases, there is a possibility of exposure to the worst-case scenario,

GLAZE EFFECT

What is this? It's simple.

Due to the halo effect, people who have actually read it or have come to realize it are disappointed and pour out a huge amount of slander products.

Or, when an angry larper doesn't read properly And when reading solely to be slander.

Examples:

Usogui,

Usogui is still impressive, but due to its overly conservative nature, lack of communication, and the prominence of Type 2 described above.

it has led to...got a huge downgrade bias on YouTube and Reddit..

(you would remember it)

He is still no diffed by a completely new and out-of-the-blue characters in yt or reddit posts. (even the takers don't properly explain it)

Reverend insanity, I also like it and I'm taking it.

But objectively, no one took it seriously about

'vol1,2 fy no diffs usogui duo in every logical scaling' take in currently. Isn't it?

(You guys must have seen this a lot on YouTube Shorts. I saw it a lot on Reddit Post before signing up) (You can see it again on the new Kiyokouji posts)

What are the results?

It is not uncommon to see cases where people who hate the entire Ri.

I think I saw a post before where Light Yagami beats FY?

Another person reported it as some people say L low-mid diff.

Of course, it would be anger-inducing, (hopefully) But...

That reminds us that the glaze effect is that much more dangerous.

It damages the fandom's image and hinders proper discussion. It helps people easily create slanders.

Sherlock holmes,

Oh... this is a bit of a wound for me, but I have to acknowledge what I must acknowledge.

He was too glazed on YouTube Shorts two or three years ago.

even I saw the comment that received 15 likes who has 'Sherlock No Diffs Baku'.

Now, he even treated like a reasoning merchant or low tier 💔

Anyway, this is the end.

If there is a person who claims a toxic take in scd, it's best to persuade him quickly by one who watch,reading it. like pulling weeds. Because It can ruins the fandom's image and diminishes its fun.

Like the butterfly effect.

And even if you dislike the fandom, let's not dislike the work itself.. ❤️‍🩹

(I ran the translator multiple times, but there may be issues, so please let me know if there are any problems)

In this document I debunk the following:

1. "Love Letter Plan was good"
2. "Ayanokoji no diffs Takuya" (the Takuya he no diffed was nerfed to oblivion)
3. "Ayanokoji can't be expelled."

During the spring break, Suzune and Kiyotaka made a promise to compete against each other to see who could achieve the higher score in a written exam subject.

If Kiyotaka won, Suzune would join the Student Council. If Suzune won, Kiyotaka would, without holding anything back, use the abilities he had been hiding over the past year for the benefit of her class.

It had already been announced that even students with an “A” rating in Academic Ability would struggle to score above 90 points. With an exam of such difficulty, a draw was virtually impossible—neither of them could realistically achieve a perfect score. Suzune considered this exam the ideal stage for their competition.

To ensure there would be no excuses, she made a point of reminding Kiyotaka that he had to study properly.

On the day of the exam, the chosen subject was mathematics. Suzune scored 87 points, an impressive result considering that even an A-ranked student like Yukimura barely managed to reach 84 points. The exam was so demanding that the 80-point threshold itself posed a major barrier for most students, regardless of the subject.

After all, approximately 10% of the exam covered concepts beyond the first-year curriculum, not to mention the inherent difficulty of the problems themselves. No one in the class managed to score above 90 in any subject— except for Kiyotaka, who achieved a perfect 100 points in mathematics, winning the bet beyond any doubt.

Suzune had given everything she had and was satisfied with her result, especially since she didn’t even understand what the final questions were about—topics such as measure theory and Lebesgue integrals.

The class was in an uproar. Ayanokōji Kiyotaka had achieved a perfect score on an exam designed to be impossible for second-year students like them. No one else had managed anything close. Not Sakayanagi. Not Ichinose. Not Suzune.

Yukimura, proud of his strong academic performance and one of Kiyotaka’s closest peers, was the most confused of all. Karuizawa attempted to offer a few vague explanations, but none of them convinced him. With several girls blindly backing Kei, the conversation quickly escalated into an open argument.

Hasebe, Miyake, Maezono, Shinohara, Ike, Miyamoto, Mikami, and others joined in with their own theories: that he had used a method similar to last year’s exams, that he was a mathematical prodigy who had been hiding his abilities, or even that the exam itself contained flaws.

Hirata tried to calm the situation by suggesting that those with club activities should leave to avoid being late to their extracurriculars, but the tension did not subside.

It was in that atmosphere that Suzune decided to intervene when Kiyotaka returned to the classroom.

Neither Yukimura nor any other second-year student had achieved a perfect score on that exam. So how was it possible that Ayanokōji had done it?

Suzune voiced the question aloud. Although she directed it at Yukimura, it was obvious that everyone was thinking the same thing.

Yukimura did not avoid answering. He admitted that the exam had been chaotic even for him. The final questions were, without exaggeration, impossible. And yet, Ayanokōji had solved them with no apparent difficulty. What was most unsettling was not just the result, but his attitude: he did not boast, did not explain anything, showed no pride at all. He simply remained silent.

That only made everything seem even more suspicious.

Eventually, Yukimura put into words what many were afraid to think: maybe he had cheated. Maybe he had known the answers beforehand.

Suzune did not dodge the accusation. She confronted it directly. She admitted that, from an outside perspective, anyone would think the same. If she did not know the truth, she would be suspicious as well. But she firmly stated that this was not the case.

To explain Kiyotaka’s perfect score, she said, they had to go back to the spring of the previous year, when everyone had just arrived at the school.

She reminded them that she and Kiyotaka had been seatmates, and that from very early on, she had realized he was exceptional academically—more so than herself.

Yukimura objected immediately. According to the official records, Kiyotaka had always been average. A C rating in academic ability. Nothing remarkable.

Suzune replied that this, too, had been part of a strategy.

From the very beginning, Kiyotaka had possessed the ability to achieve perfect scores—at least in mathematics. Knowing this, she had asked him to deliberately hold back during the initial exams. Not to harm the class, but to maintain a low profile. A trump card. Insurance for the future. That was how his academic ability came to be evaluated as a C.

To many, that explanation had holes. If Kiyotaka had performed at his best from the start, the class would have earned more points. Yukimura could not understand the logic behind hiding such talent.

Suzune pointed out that if he had stood out from April onward, figures like Sakayanagi, Ichinose, or Ryūen would have set their sights on him immediately. And at this school, drawing too much attention was dangerous. He would have been labeled an obstacle—a potential enemy. It would not have been strange for someone to attempt to expel him before he became a larger problem.

She reminded them of the “Class Poll.” Even while being completely average, Kiyotaka had been at risk of expulsion. Had he been a dominant figure from the beginning, the strategies used against him would have been far more precise—and far more lethal.

That led to the key question: if hiding his strength had been so important before, why reveal it now?

Suzune explained that the situation had changed. The class was no longer the same. They had grown as a group—stronger, more united, more capable of making correct decisions. Now, they could protect their own.

She used Sudō as an example. Before, he had been a burden. Now, he had improved both academically and physically to the point of surpassing even Yukimura in the overall evaluation. In the past, no one could have protected him. Now, everyone would do so without hesitation.

The same applied to Kiyotaka. If someone attempted to target him now, the entire class could respond.

Even so, doubts lingered. Was Kiyotaka only exceptional in mathematics? Or was he still hiding something else?

Suzune did not answer. She knew she could not dispel all the suspicions of the emotionally charged Class D through logic alone, so she left space for Hirata to step in.

Calmly, he explained that “an unknown enemy is more dangerous than one who is fully revealed.” If even their own classmates did not know the true extent of Kiyotaka’s abilities, the other classes would have no way to accurately assess him. Any investigation would be futile.

Suzune nodded. Since attention was inevitable, the best course was to take advantage of it—to turn Kiyotaka into an enigma. An undefined threat.

Kei redirected the focus toward Suzune, praising her intelligence and reinforcing the narrative that everything had been done for the sake of the class. Without needing instructions, they understood the role they needed to play.

Gradually, the distrust began to dissipate. Even Yukimura stopped pressing the issue.

Thanks to Suzune’s improvisation, the groundwork had been laid. From this point forward, even if Kiyotaka revealed more of his true strength, it could always be explained as something he had been hiding from the very beginning.

(Kiyotaka's perfect smokescreen (Y1V3-Y2V12.5): This time it was the deliberately false reconstruction of Kiyotaka's "academic past" to protect his anonymity and social stability. Before analyzing the technique, it's key to understand the objective:

It wasn't to "convince them of the truth."

It wasn't to completely clear suspicions.

It was to redirect attention.

To create an acceptable explanation.

To protect Kiyotaka's "peaceful life."

To avoid future internal investigations.

Suzune doesn't tell the truth, but neither does she lie blatantly. She constructs a hybrid narrative:

She starts with real facts:

He was her seatmate.

He's good at math.

The evaluation system exists.

She introduces a central false element:

That she deliberately asked him to hide his talent and that his C grade at the OAA was a conscious strategic decision.

This is advanced misdirection, because she is not inventing something impossible, but rearranging the causality of real facts. The erroneous conclusion induced in the class leads to an incorrect but functional conclusion: “Ayanokōji was always good, but only at math, and he hid that as a defensive strategy against Suzune.” This deflects three dangerous lines of thought:

“He cheated”

“He’s a complete academic monster”

“He’s an immediate threat”

And replaces them with:

“He’s talented, but limited”

“He acted for the good of the class”

“He’s an asset that must be protected”

This was achieved by adapting to the group’s emotional state:

The class is agitated → a cold explanation won’t do

Yukimura is confused → he’s spoken to with academic logic

Others are doubtful → they’re given an emotional narrative (protection, unity)

Furthermore:

He doesn’t monopolize the scene

He lets Hirata and Kei reinforce the narrative

He turns the lie into social consensus

This transforms individual misdirection into collective misdirection.

It doesn't seek to eliminate all doubts. Suzune understands something crucial:

Suzune doesn't need to convince 100%, she just needs to defuse the threat.

She deliberately leaves questions open:

"Is he hiding something else?"

"How far does his ability extend?"

With this, Suzune seeks to:

Turn Kiyotaka into a tolerated enigma.

An active target of protection.

Prevent future problems.

And any future display of talent:

Will not raise suspicion.

Will be integrated into the already established narrative.

The class already has an official history.

That's long-term planning.

Sopistry,gaslighting,Misdirection,Mass manip)

(This part Is AN interpretation,meant tò fix this weird plot hole by using what novels implies and says directly.but since its only a theory It depends on you wheter tò consider It valid or not.)

""In volume 11.5 Suzune asked Kiyotaka if he truly wanted to reach Class A. His affirmative response didn’t convince her. Throughout the year, based on everything she had witnessed and experienced with him, she doubted his true intentions. Kiyotaka continued to claim superiority, but from Suzune’s perspective, he had contributed little to the class since the island exam. He had saved her, yes, but he had never actively used his abilities to push the class toward Class A.

That’s why she questioned the extent of his abilities—especially since his only known major victory had been more due to Ryuuen’s carelessness than a true display of overwhelming skill.

There was also the fact that her brother acknowledged Kiyotaka’s talent. Suzune had never seen the full extent of Kiyotaka’s capabilities—until he lost to Sakayanagi. That’s why she wanted to test him herself.

Determined to gauge his true potential, she proposed a bet based on academic performance.

Throughout the year, Suzune’s test scores had consistently been higher than Kiyotaka’s. While men often had an advantage in physical ability, when it came to strategy and tactics, she believed she could gain the upper hand.

She had fought admirably against Ibuki despite being in poor condition, and she had also seen Kiyotaka face her brother. Based on those experiences, she confidently believed she could defeat him in an exam.

So, using a weak threat, she challenged him—to see who would achieve a higher score in the upcoming test. That way, she would uncover his true ability""

Gurl be so for real right now🤥🤥

Somethings Is fishy..🧐🧐

Suzune is perfectly aware of Kiyotaka's academic abilities. It's something she's known since volume 1,

Something he revealed again about his knowledge, even making jokes about it in volume 6.

Suzune was willing to place Miyake and Hasebe under Kiyotaka's tutelage. A position of responsibility she had only entrusted to Hirata and Yukimura (and Kushida, but for Suzune's plan), people who were in the top percentile... No, who were always at the top of the class. That meant that, in Suzune's eyes, Kiyotaka was on the same level as them.

She mentioned on several occasions that Kiyotaka himself held back a lot during exams. Even if Kiyotaka denied holding back, Suzune never believed him.

So, Suzune, to recognize the depth of Kiyotaka's abilities, didn't need to administer such a test. Was that really her goal?

Suzune herself states it in the same chapter. Her goal was to free him from his restrictions so he wouldn't have any excuse to hold back during the ANHS especial exams. And if not completely removing his shackles, then at least forcing him to remain at the top of the class and not just average.

However, there was a problem that Kiyotaka himself acknowledged. If he revealed his abilities out of nowhere, he could become the target of accusations from his classmates. Therefore, he couldn't make an excessive revelation, but rather a gradual increase with a coherent explanation of how his strength grew so much.

In this way, Kiyotaka was freed from his constraints, allowing him to use his abilities more openly and increasing the class's power, just as she had wanted.

They made a bet: if Kiyotaka won, Suzune would join the Student Council. And if Suzune won, Kiyotaka would, without hesitation, use the abilities he had kept hidden for the past year for the benefit of his class.

Suzune makes it clear that what she wanted was for Kiyotaka to use his strength in class instead of plotting from the shadows. However, she already achieves that simply by forcing him to demonstrate his abilities, thus giving him a framework for future actions.

It means that Suzune was guaranteed to win, regardless of the outcome.

Even while they were talking in volume 11.5, it can be seen that Suzune openly provokes him to prove that he is more than just talk.

The mockery worked and led her to suggest the bet that got them into that situation.

That's why I say it's strange. This seemingly foolish move, intended only to showcase Suzune's arrogance (strange because it faded throughout the year), allowed her to accomplish every single one of her objectives.

So, am I saying that Suzune manipulated Kiyotaka?

COTE is in the first person; almost everything we know is from his perspective. This means that if he's deceived in any way, it will never be mentioned in his monologue, so the readers wouldn't know either. Kiyotaka greatly underestimates Suzune, to the point that Suzune's acting can fool him, as shown in volume 6.

And it's not as if he had completely fooled him. Kiyotaka himself realizes that something strange was going on:

He even mentions in volume Y2V2 that Suzune exceeded his expectations and that he was pleased with how she handled the situation. Kiyotaka, in volume 11.5, was already aware of Tsukishiro's threat and knew he would have to work hard if he didn't want to be expelled, which meant proving his abilities. It's possible that Kiyotaka took advantage of Suzune's intentions to reveal himself, since he didn't see it as a threat at the time, but rather as something that benefited him. This is something he confirms in that same conversation.

So it's not exactly that she deceived or manipulated him, but rather that she took advantage of Suzune's strategy to reveal her abilities, just as she wanted.

This struck Suzune as odd, but she accepted it because it suited her. However, it still left her with doubts about Kiyotaka's intentions and his past—something that would haunt her in the future.

Wouldn't that make sense?

In Summary: Suzune has broken off her friendly relations with Class B because she wants to reach Class A, and the point difference isn't as high as it once was, which would make them enemies.

This means she needs to make the most of her inner strengths. Kiyotaka is her greatest inner strength, but he's restricted by chains that limit his abilities, called "Normal Student."

Suzune must break those chains so Kiyotaka can use his abilities freely. So she provokes him into a bet: if he loses, he'll be forced to work. This benefits her, because to win, he must openly display his abilities.

This way, even if she loses the bet, she ensures that the chains known as "Normal Student" are broken, thus achieving her goal. Something that ultimately worked.

I've been working on a doc for the first arc of RoT, and I've just finished the retelling portion. Images are stuff from the doc. Could really use some help with fact-checking the story details before finalising.

Good early morning (at least where I live), everyone.

The creator of The Ultimate Library of Docs, u/BudgetPosition6080 (hypervenomxetreme2.0), and I have teamed up to create a remastered version of the library document with improved aesthetics and organization. We intend to go beyond simply storing SCD documents, it will actually become a comprehensive compilation of various SCD-related content.

Old library link -> The Ultimate Library of Docs
Current library link -> The Ultimate SCD Library

The current library link will also be available inside the old library. Once we've moved all the documents (especially those focused on SCD), the old version will either be deleted or archived (I can't say for sure yet) and will be fully replaced by the new one.

The rules for adding verses/docs are included in the new library document, but I'll mention it here as well: if you would like to see your document be added, please contact the discord accounts hypervenomxtreme2.0 or mcbacon_ so the document can be submitted.

And yes, I know, I know... the banner might not look that great. It follow the same aesthetic as the verse banners, though. On that note, feel free to message us if you're a great banner designer, because I'm not exactly the best at it lol.

The Ultimate SCD Library

Murder in the Crooked House is a Japanese mystery novel by soji shimada. The story takes place in a strange, crooked mansion where a series of murders happen under seemingly impossible circumstances.

The main appeal is figuring out how the murders were actually carried out. The story involves a lot of deduction, deception, strategy, and clever use of the mansion’s unusual structure, with various clues and details gradually coming together to reveal the truth.

This volume shows that Mitarai is far more than just a reasoning machine. He has feats across a wide range of categories, including Strategy, Deception, Manipulation, EI, AC, and more, many of which have yet to receive much attention.

Updated Scaling Categories LINK

I have already done one before, but there were several mistakes in definitions and IMO some categories that were not needed, for example, Social Skills and Social Integration, although obv they are different, there is no point in using both, since Social Skills could just be used as part of Integration so yeah, this new doc of categories fixes these kind of mistakes. But not only that but adds few new categories that I have thinking of using but did not.

This Is the strategy from y2v10 during the match between arisu and suzune where horikita Tricks sakayanagi and manipulates the situation in order tò make koenji move as She wants.

STRATEGY EFFECTIVENESS:

● Suzune took a calculated risk by leaving Koenji unprotected in round 4 (when

he already had two mistakes and was on the verge of elimination). Her

intuition proved correct: Koenji wouldn't put his fate in the hands of others

and would respond correctly to save himself, giving her points in the process

● She tests Koenji's Protection Point as a resource to be used, indirectly

warning him that if he doesn't defend himself, he could get hurt, and getting

him to stop depending on her (as in Y2V5) by removing the pressure of his

promise

● To demonstrate that Koenji would play seriously if cornered, Suzune

attempted to set a trap for Class A. If Sakayanagi continued to nominate him

without Suzune using a protection, Koenji would succeed and grant

automatic defense points to his class. However, this specific trap proved

ineffective against Sakayanagi. She immediately deciphered Suzune's strategy

and stopped nominating Koenji in round 5 to avoid "giving" him points. Although Sakayanagi read Suzune's intentions, the objective of neutralizing

the attacks on Kouenji was fully achieved. From turn 5 onward, Kouenji's

name disappeared from Class A's target list. This benefited Suzune, who

could then use her five protections on those who needed them.

2-) STRATEGY EFFICIENCY:

● Absolute preservation of protective slots (Resources)

○ In a 20-turn exam where the class has only 5 protection slots per

round to defend 37 students, permanently allocating a slot to Kouenji

would have reduced their actual defensive capacity to only 4 slots.

■ By not protecting him in turns 1, 2, 4, and 5, Suzune saved vital

defensive resources, allowing her to use those free slots to

protect other vulnerable students or those who needed to keep

their motivation high (such as Keisei Yukimura or Ken Sudou).

● Utilizing the Kouenji Protection Point as an alternative resource

○ Instead of depleting the class's collective resources by protecting him,

Suzune structured the strategy so that the cost of any failure would

fall on Kouenji's own individual resource (his Protection Point). This

minimized the potential damage to the rest of the group at zero cost

to the class.

● Management of the psychological factor and reaction time

○ Although Suzune's lack of immediate explanation created tension and

suspicious glances in her own class, this opacity was necessary for

reasons of efficiency. Had she openly explained the plan to her

classmates, Kouenji would have discovered her damage control

strategy. The silence allowed him to execute the move quickly and in

real time without interference.

3-) STRATEGY EXECUTION:

● Phase 1: Setting the Scene and Narrative Induction

○ At the start of the exam, Suzune determines that a student is only

eliminated after accumulating three incorrect answers. Based on this,

she calculates that Kōenji is not in immediate danger of expulsion

until he makes at least two mistakes in a row.

■ In order not to waste her protection slots (limited to five per

turn) on a high-achieving student from the very first round,

Suzune consciously decides not to protect Kōenji in Turn 1 and

distributes the protections among colleagues with a higher risk

of failure.

● Phase 2: Tolerance of Kōenji's disinterest and group containment ○ During Turn 2, Kōenji is nominated by Class A. True to his apathetic

attitude, he hands in his answer sheet blank, making his first mistake.

■ Faced with Kōenji's inaction and her classmates' discontent,

Suzune maintains a firm and composed demeanor. Showing no

signs of weakness or agitation, she prevents panic or disunity

from spreading within the group, stabilizing the class's

atmosphere while actively gathering information in her

notebook and on her phone.

● Phase 3: The assumption of extreme risk and the execution of the "pressure

trap"

○ In the fourth defensive round, Sakayanagi raises the difficulty of the

"Gourmet" category to level 2, seeking to corner Kōenji (who has

already accumulated two failures and is on the verge of elimination).

○ Despite common logic dictating that she should protect Kōenji to

keep her promise not to let him be expelled, Suzune decides not to

include him on the list of protected students. With this, she executes a

plan with a double purpose:

■ Knowing that Kōenji is extremely intelligent and will not want

to ruin his own destiny or lose his personal "protection point"

obtained on the deserted island, Suzune corners him to force

him to answer seriously.

■ He intends to tempt Sakayanagi to continue attacking Kōenji,

thinking he is unprotected, with the expectation that Kōenji

will respond correctly and thus give his class easy defense

points.

● Phase 4: Success in activating Kōenji and the dilemma of the protection point

○ The pressure pays off. Backed into a corner and without Suzune's

shield, Kōenji is forced to write for the first time, correctly solving the

Gourmet Level 2 problem and saving himself from elimination.

■ Behind her apparent "betrayal" of her promise to protect

Kōenji, Suzune had a trick up her sleeve that she didn't reveal

to the class to prevent Kōenji from finding out. Kōenji

possessed an individual "Protection Point." In the event that her

class came in last place and Kōenji was eliminated, Suzune

planned to force him to use up this point to avoid expulsion.

Since she had never promised to protect Kōenji's "point" (only

his continued enrollment at the school), the strategy

guaranteed absolute safety for the rest of the class without

technically breaking her promise.

● Phase 5: Psychological deterrence and exam stabilization ○ Although Sakayanagi manages to decipher Suzune's intentions after

Turn 4 and decides not to nominate Kōenji again in Turn 5 so as not to

give Suzune any points, the main objective is successfully achieved.

■ By demonstrating that Kōenji will respond seriously when

under real threat of elimination, Class A identifies him as a

useless and high-risk target for wasting attacks. Suzune

manages to definitively neutralize nominations against Kōenji

for the remainder of the round, winning the psychological bet

and ensuring her class's stability without expending valuable

protection resources on him.

4-) STRATEGY RESILIENCE: Suzune has a contract that obliges her to protect

Koenji, which means she doesn't have one of the 5 slots when fighting against other

classes.

● Suzune knew that Kouenji possessed great academic ability and keen

intuition, but also a free spirit that would prevent him from willingly putting

in the effort. She endured him handing in blank exams in the early rounds

(accumulating two mistakes and nearly being eliminated) without panicking

or giving in to the pressure to protect him. On turn 4, when the difficulty of

the "Gourmet" genre reached level 2 and Kouenji was just one mistake away

from being eliminated, Suzune firmly maintained her decision not to protect

him. This resistance forced Kouenji to take the pen and answer correctly

himself to avoid the risk, proving the soundness of her prediction.

● In the worst-case scenario (if Kouenji had failed and been eliminated), the

strategy would still be immune to the exam's expulsion rule. Suzune planned

to force Kouenji to consume the "Protection Point" he had earned during the

deserted island exam. This way, even if the class came in last place and

Kouenji was the candidate, expulsion would be avoided without harming the

other students.

5-) STRATEGY SHIELDING:

● The biggest weakness of having to look after Kouenji was that it reduced her

protection slots, leaving her with only 4 slots to protect the other 37 students

in the class. Suzune mitigated this weakness by interpreting her promise

literally: she promised him "freedom" and "not being expelled," but never

promised to safeguard his personal Protection Point. By not protecting him,

she freed up the 5 slots for vulnerable students.

● Sakayanagi knew of Suzune's promise to Kouenji thanks to leaks from

Hashimoto, and planned to use the "Gourmet" genre to force Suzune to

spend turns protecting him. Suzune actively countered this by not protecting him, turning Kouenji into a "trap." If Sakayanagi attacked him, Kouenji would

be forced to respond well to save himself, automatically granting Suzune's

class defense points.

○ Upon realizing this protection, Sakayanagi understood that continuing

to attack Kouenji would only benefit Suzune. Therefore, on turn 5,

Sakayanagi completely avoided nominating Kouenji. Suzune managed

to stop the opponent from attacking her most troublesome piece

without having spent a single protection resource on it.

● Suzune didn't explain her tactic to her classmates despite their distrustful

glances and the internal tension. She knew that if she revealed her plan to

force Kouenji to use his Protection Point, he would have realized the trick

long before and avoided falling into the trap.

6-) STRATEGY FORESIGHT:

● Before the critical rounds begin, Suzune carefully analyzes the terms of the

protection and freedom pact she has with Kouenji. Her foresight allows her

to decipher that, although she is obligated to prevent his expulsion from

school and allow him to act as he pleases, the exam rules offer her a loophole:

Kouenji possesses a personal "Protection Point" obtained during the deserted

island exam. Suzune anticipates that, should her class place last, she can

legally use Kouenji's Protection Point to nullify any expulsion, formally

keeping her word without needing to expend her limited exam resources.

● Suzune anticipates Kouenji's psychology and egocentrism. She knows that if

she grants him unconditional protection from the first turn, he will

continually submit blank sheets and contribute nothing. Therefore, she

foresees that the only way to force him to participate seriously is to leave him

unprotected just when he is on the verge of elimination (with two

accumulated failures). She accurately calculates that Kouenji will consider

losing his personal Protection Point "too troublesome" and will be compelled

to answer correctly out of pure self-interest.

● Suzune anticipates that Class A will try to exploit Kouenji's perceived

weakness. Her long-term plan involves deliberately leaving Kouenji exposed

with an invisible "shoot me" sign to lure Class A into attacking him on his own

turf (the Gourmet genre), transforming her class's apparent vulnerability into

a source of free defense points thanks to the correct answers Kouenji would

be forced to give.

7-) STRATEGY ADAPTABILITY:

● At the start of the exam, the ideal plan dictated that Suzune should

permanently spend one of her five protection slots on Kouenji, limiting her defense to only four teammates per turn. Demonstrating a high degree of

adaptability to the rules, Suzune decides not to protect him in the first

round, assessing that with zero mistakes, Kouenji is not in immediate danger

of elimination. This allows her to dynamically free up her five slots to protect

students who are genuinely struggling with the genre.

8-) STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT: In this exam, Suzune faced a serious initial dilemma: a

prior agreement with Kouenji in which she promised to grant him freedom and

prevent his expulsion from school. This threatened to permanently waste one of her

five protection slots on him during the 20 turns, leaving her with only four for the

other 37 students.

class comes in last place and the leader has to nominate them from

among the eliminated students. She also remembers that Kouenji

possesses a Protection Point earned during the deserted island exam.

1. Her promise stipulated that she wouldn't expel him and would let him

act freely. During the exam, Suzune didn't impose any restrictions on

him (thus upholding his freedom). Regarding expulsion, Suzune

reasons that she never promised to protect his Protection Point. If

Kouenji were to be eliminated and the class came in last place, she

could nominate him for expulsion, and Kouenji would be forced to use

his Protection Point to save himself. In this way, no one in the class

would be expelled, and the promise would remain intact.

1. Suzune knows that Kouenji will maintain a "1% uncertainty" and won't

blindly leave his fate in anyone's hands when he's on the verge of

elimination (2 failures).

9-) TACTICAL COMPLEXITY:

● Layer 1: Surface Appearance Layer

○ Outwardly and in front of her own teammates, Suzune appeared to

break her promise to protect Kouenji by leaving him unprotected in

the crucial round of the Gourmet genre (Difficulty 2), when he had

already accumulated two failures for handing in blank sheets.

■ Suzune deliberately chose not to explain her true intentions to

her classmates to prevent Kouenji from discovering her plan.

She accepted the temporary cost of her classmates' distrustful

glances and the apparent loss of credibility to keep the tactical

trap intact.

● Layer 2: Everything else

○ Sub-Layer 2.1: Direct Psychological Layer ■ Suzune knew that even if someone is guaranteed 99% safety,

people always retain 1% doubt.

● By refusing to waste a protection space as if he were "a

baby", Suzune forced Kouenji to take the pen to avoid

being eliminated.

○ Technically, Suzune kept her promise to "let him

act freely" (by not imposing any restrictions on

him) and avoided spending a permanent

protection slot, freeing up that slot to defend

other vulnerable students in the class.

○ Sub-Layer 2.2: Financial Shield Layer/Expulsion

■ Suzune's promise was to "prevent Kouenji from being expelled,"

not to "protect his Protection Point."

● If her class finished in last place and Kouenji was the

only one eliminated, Suzune planned to force him to

spend the Protection Point he earned on the deserted

island exam. This way, the class wouldn't be expelled if

they lost the exam.

○ It made the wound of a hypothetical defeat much

less deep, removing Kouenji's personal

protection before he could cause further harm to

the group through his lack of cooperation.

○ Sub-Layer 2.3: Quick Trap Layer to the Enemy Class

■ By leaving Kouenji on the verge of elimination without

protection, Suzune symbolically set a target for Kouenji that

said "shoot me".

● Suzune anticipated that Class A would spend their

points to aggressively attack an unprotected Kouenji in

Gourmet Level 2. Since she knew that Kouenji would

respond seriously in order not to be eliminated,

Kouenji's correct answers would have granted Suzune's

class free defense points at the expense of Sakayanagi's

resources.

○ Sub-Layer 2.4: Information and Counter-information Layer

■ Class A believed they had the advantage because they knew

(through Hashimoto's information gathering) about the prior

agreement between Suzune and Kouenji.

● Class A attacked assuming Suzune would be forced to

protect Kouenji. By breaking this pattern and not

protecting him, Suzune completely dismantled the tactical scheme Hashimoto had tried to set up, throwing

the attackers into confusion.
