Vol 9 Chapter 2 (1/2)
The Second Question
Please answer the following question
Please write down the products formed when pentahydrate copper sulfate and barium chloride solution are mixed and heated assume that pentahydrate copper sulfate and barium chloride will completely react with each other
Kirishi+ma Shouko’s answer:
“Barium sulphate, copper chloride, water”
Teacher’s comment:
Correct The chemical equations in this reaction is
CuSO4+BaCl2->BaSO4+CuCl2
But before this, with the addition of pentahydrate copper sulphate, there will be the reaction of
CuSO4•5H2O->CuSO4+5H2O
So water’s forst the products too
Yoshi+ Akihisa’s answer:
“Table salt”
Teacher’s comment:
Why do you think this will be formed? Sometimes, sensei here really can’t catch up to Yoshi+-kun’s thinking process at all
Himeji Mizuki’s answer:
“Delace”[1]
Teacher’s comment:
…………………………………………………………Eh?
“Sakamoto! The classics teacher is here!”
“Alright! We’re going to change frolish to classics Himeji, are you ready?”
“Yes!”
Hi ready to battle The moment the classics teacher came over, she summoned
“Sensei, once this battle is over, please allow me to take part in a classics battle Summon!”
C Class, Murada Nana, Classics, 97 points
Vs
F class, Himeji Mizuki, Classics, 415 points
A little Himeji appeared in the middle of the array that appeared with Himeji’s summon—the profile of her summoned beast Just like what everyone can see, she won’t lose in terms of points
“She’s here, it’s Himeji! Follow the instructions!”
The voice that cae as the enemy commander
“““Got it!”””
Two su in front of the enemies put their enemies in front of each other to block Hi, C class’ two suether to block Himeji’s strike
At this moment, the third suaas getting ready to retreat Cheh, this is bad
“! I won’t let you!”
Himeji quickly reacted and used the hand of her su its attack target A red light seemed to shoot out from the bracelet as it chases the enemy
“Gu!”
The ene shi+eld, but it couldn’t control the strength entirely and got deflected Himeji then used the power of the bracelet to hold the eneawa ed to escape from that field
And so, Hi field The other enemies all escaped when Himeji took down one of them
“Then, it’s now a match of classics Please!”
“““Summon!”””
As the subject used was changed to classics, both allies and foes sued to succeed
“Nice job, Hireat help”
“It’s great that I could make it in time”
Once she was done, I said to Hi the scuffle just now, our forces here will be worn out even rateful for Hi
“Sorry for using up all the points just now I’ll go replenish them”
“Okay, I’ll leave it to you then”
“Okay”
Himeji went over to the teacher to take part in the replenishi+ng tests She used the power of the bracelet awa, and it’s unlikely that she would have enough points if she doesn’t go off to replenish them
“It’s the third tied subjects…”
Since it’s the third time, the enemy will more or less notice our intention The way hoo of theaas proof of it They failed in the end, but the way the re field once Hi ot If they really intend to whittle our forces down little by little, it’ll be really tough on us
“We’re going to move too…Hideyoshi+!”
“What is it? Yuuji?”
I checked the score sheets in ht Hideyoshi+ over If the enee our tactics too
“We’re changing plans You’ll hold off in participating the classics battle I hope you can assist Hie subjects”
“assist…? What do I do?”
“If there’s souy off from the side And if possible, beat him Your points can definitely do so”
“Muu…understood”
Actually, Hideyoshi+ got a high score of 110 points in classics this time, which is alht with C class like this
“The classics replenishi+ng test this time tested questions that are the best possible ones for me”
The classics replenishi+ng test yesterday tested on the tale of Genji, and the drama club seemed to have picked it for the next performance
“I will be perfor as the lead Genji this tiet to play after a while, so I have to work really hard…!”
He seriously studied the tale of Genji—the real one, to boot, to get into the mindset of the character That’s what happen when he’s an idiot who’s passionate about acting Because of this, I kno Hideyoshi+ devoted so much time and effort into drama
“But that’s not the only reason why I’ hard”
“Nn? Is that so?”
“…I, want to be with you and Akihisa”
It’ll be tough to be in the sarimaced It’s true that it’s hard for others to realize this because of careless nated as higher than the standard for F class If ant to rerades
“I auys”
“Well, that’s because there’re idiots on’t s dull”
“Even though you’re showing such an unconcerned look, you’re one of us too”
Hideyoshi+ was so happy that he was cackling away In that case, we should include Muttsurini into the ranks of idiots I really find it a pity that I have to be associated with them
…However, how should I put it…
“Hideyoshi+ Don’t say that in front of the rest”
“I know It’s because you treat me as a man that I say this”
“That’s good…”
Really, that guy’s a natural-born male killer There’ll likely be another ruckus within us if the rest hear this
“Let’s not talk about this for no long do we maintain this defense? We can’t win like that”
“Sorry, but we can only continue replenishi+ng e can’t confirth”
“Enough fighting strength?”
Hideyoshi+ tilted his head and ask It’s true that it’s i
“If we pay attention, we can tell that C class is exceptionally wary of me, Himeji and Muttsurini”
“Of course, that’s because you all have enough points to beat Koyama”
During the last su on in, Muttsurini and Himeji were the ones who beat the class rep, and Hi, so they have to be wary
“And Koya to attack probably went to defend her”
“To prevent us fro them”
If that’s the case, we can’t let Hi Koyama all the time
“So this tih squad of our class, including the people being watched here”
“The strongest breakthrough? I don’t think that can beat the enemy class”
It’s true that if we can win like that, it’ll er than the enemy But after the chaotic incident yesterday, F class is severely worn out, and C class that always had the advantage will definitely have more teamwork
“We’re not going to use this team to win, but use this team to lure the enemy’s attention”
“Use this team to lure them?”
“Yeah, and then, we’ll blockforce to take down Koyama”
“F force that can take down Koyama”
“The rest of the guys fro to be wary of the people who can take her down individually, we’ll increase our numbers to crush the enemy The enemy’s only wary about these few people, but our F class doesn’t just have those people We’re going to er ones suffer”
“I see…so we’re going to continue replenishi+ng here to get enough forces to take down Koyama”
“Un, that’s the case”
Though I did say that we are going to lure th away, Koya her are still around If ant to defeat theth Therefore, we can only endure for now
“Then, I’ll go over to nated place”
“Okay, I’ll leave it to you then”
“Hideyoshi+ went over to the frontlines”
Then, I’ll be in charge of updating the class’ score sheet I have here
“…After investigations, we found that C class has a huge advantage, and F class seemed to be forced back into their own class”
Kirishi+ma-san, who returned back to A class, reported about the battle situation between C class and F class It seee from when I just came over to school
“My investigations are the sa the subjects over and over again, and it seeth they lost yesterday C class sees don’t look so good”
Kudou-san reported
Defend and replenish That’s not really Yuuji’s style at this point It’s very passive
“It’s not possible for that Saka…”
“He’s probably thinking of doing so”
Kubo-kun and Kinoshi+ta-san said so I have the sauy’s definitely not the kind of person who’ll let hi
“Then, I’ll talk about what I investigated about C class—actually, about the class rep Koyama-san”
This tiated on C class
“They turned around at the corner below to look for Yoshi+-kun, but returned back to their base at C class, seely wary of F class’ movements”
It see to capture me, who overheard the inforainst Yuuji’s actions We’re F class, so we can only win through surprise attacks For Koyama-san, it should be best for her to not try and leave her base
“But nooff to find Nemoto-kun in B class”
They don’t have to be wary of us like that if that’s the case, right?
“What are you saying, Yoshi+-kun? B class is having lessons now”
“Ah, that’s right”
We’re chatting away like it’s after school now I co lessons
“It can be said that Koyama-san returned back to C class to quickly contact Nemoto-kun at B class once he’s dismissed from lessons”
Kubo-kun deduced after hearing Kinoshi+ta-san’s information It’s true that C class and B class, which are in the third level of the new school building, arein the second level It’s really a tough thing for us to try and get in their way
“And based on Nemoto-kun and Koyama-san…based on the report from shi+mizu-sa—no, my associate, it seemed that C class’ rep Koya Frohly likely to be related to the previous incident”
Kubo-kun’s information was about Koyama-san’s own information Then, in that case…
“If there’s a letter, I guess it’s not just about ‘please come over to so and so place’”
“If so, it means that she must have spent a lot of time in it I don’t think it will be at least one or two sentences Or rather, I think it’s an explanation about everything that happens”
“…It’s a little too early to decide this”
“Yeah The enemy knew that Yoshi+-kun escaped”
“That’s true Koyaht that there’ll be an interference”
“In that case, are there any other possibilities besides explaining everything?”
“Yeah, for example…”
“…She prepared a few letters or so”
“And send the are better here, and ancient people do use this es”
“In this situation, there’s too many possibilities”
The conversation continued
“…”
“? What is it, Yoshi+-kun?”
“Nothing…I just feel that everyone’s really smart”
And I thought just now that these people were completely useless I can see now that they’re really A class people
“I say, who do you think I am?”
“Someone that resembles Hideyoshi+”
“Let’s play baseball then, Yoshi+-kun I’ll be the batter, you’ll be the ball”
“That won’t do, Kinoshi+ta-san The bats in high school baseball are erous?”
“Slon, Yoshi+-kun You’re saying that you won’t mind if it’s a wooden bat?”
“I’ll change what I said Everyone, beat Yoshi+-kun with metal bats”
“Ku…! Isn’t it against the rules for everyone to gang up on me like that…!”
“In other words, you’re just worried about going against the rules of baseball?”
“…I’ll be the second batter”
“I’ll be the third batter then~”
“Even Kirishi+ if the person hi about the details to our plan If they prepared a letter or so, on’t have much time left”
“…Un, that’s enough for the jokes now”
“Oh yeah~ what do we do?”
Everyone went back to thinking, see to consider the actions to be taken later As for the shocked expression on Kinoshi+ta-san’s face, perhaps I was mistaken there
“Then, how about this?”
Since we’re going to talk about detailed plans, let me raise one
“assassinate Nemoto-kun and end all communications”
“““…”””
Everyone just shot retful expressions That’s weird I do feel that this is the fastest and simplest way to deal with this
“Yoshi+-kun…let’s not talk about the rules of the su war first That’s violence on your part…”
“It’s still plausible if the other party did so bad I don’t think it’s suitable to take such actions in this situation”
da that I’ve become numb to such violence
“Tha, that’s definitely a joke As for other es?”
“Well, that’s the only option”
“More apt”
“Better than assassination no matter what”
I finally got their agreement this time That was close, real close I nearly ended up rated as a ‘dangerous person’
“But Yoshi+-kun, there’s so I hope you can take note of”
“Hm? What is it, Kubo-kun?”
“We can assist you, but it’s really hard to interact with the ene a su war”
“Yeah It’s nothing if you’re the one taking action directly, Yoshi+-kun, but they’ll be talking if we take action”
“Ah, that’s right”
The rules of the su with the wars of other classes is forbidden But about this ‘in principle’, if C class and B class work together and got a better vantage, it won’t be counted as going against the rules
For example, in our current situation, it’s okay to prevent the letters That’s because there’s no direct interference in the su war between C class and F class But when interfering, if a student of C class is rendered iainst the rules That’s because students eren’t directly involved in the war between C class and F class weakened C class’ strength In other words, it’ll be tough for Kubo-kun and the rest to take on C class’ students If it were the other side starting it, it will be a little better, and there’s still roo, they will be forced to take a certain level of penalty
“What are you worrying about, Yoshi+-kun? The et directly involved”
“…And our intent is to swap letters without being found out It’s alright”
“Yeah~ we’re just saying hello to you We won’t be able to help out if so happens”
“Un, understood”
I already got the war, and it’ll be really bad if I ended up getting everyone punished I have to take note of this
“Then, as for the details—what should we do?”
“Yeah…”
Kubo-kun put his hand at his chin and pondered,
“We have to take a look at the actions we can do based on this situation There’re roughly 2 of the sent out The second’s to switch the letters”
“Meaning?”
“The forer unable to take action You’re the only one who can do this, Yoshi+-kun It’s a simple act that doesn’t break the rules”
“In other words, Yoshi+-kun will have to use a su battle to send the C class student to the remedial room”
“…The one in charge of passing the e will definitely have used up points”
I see I ainst such an enemy
“Another thing we can do is the swap the letters We can help out here”
“…However, these will be the only letters we can swap”
The latter is different froer, but for the latter, we interact with the eneet the letter, and make a fake one In that case, we’ll need several conditions to be fulfilled
“These will be the only two ideas we can use We won’t have enough people if many students are to interact with B class’ rep, but I think that thewar is 3 people Even so, it’s hard for us to succeed at the same time”
“That’s true…”
