and Class ATakahashi Osamu、Ishigami Kyo, Class BTakuya Yagami, Class CRiku Utomiya, Class DKazuomi Hōsenwere jointly given a special exam to "have Kiyotaka Ayanokouji expelled during the inter-grade exam." Along with Housen,Amasawacooperated to implement the plan to have Ayanokouji expelled.
For certain reasons, she is very concerned about Ayanokouji.After coming into contact with him, it turned into loathing.
During the lunch break on the second day after the inter-grade exam was announced, she went to Class 2-D with Housen and met Kiyotaka Ayanokouji for the first time,Suzune Horikita、Ken Sudoand others. During this time, Housen and those from Class 2-CKakeru Ryuenand others had a dispute, and Nanase persuaded Housen to stop before things escalated. Before returning, Housen again with another studentTakuya Yagamistarted a dispute, and in coordination with the homeroom teacherShiba Katsunoristopped Hosen once again. Just as they were about to leave, "silently and naturally,"but was still noticed,she cast a searching glance at Ayanokouji.
On the third day of the inter-grade special exam, Nanase happened to run into Ayanokouji and used aself-proclaimedperfect smile to strike up a conversation. During their talk, Nanase revealed to Ayanokouji that Hosen intended to take complete control of Class 1-D, stating, "I will never yield to violence." Finally, Nanase,in order to set a trap for Ayanokouji,proposed a meeting between the two classes.
On the fourth day of the inter-grade special exam, Nanase spoke with Ayanokouji and Horikita in the library, confirming Hosen's control over Class 1-D for them. In response to their request to "negotiate with Hosen," Nanase called Hosen; however,to make the plan to trap Ayanokouji seem more realistic,Hosen flatly refused to negotiate with Class 2-D.
On the fifth day of the inter-grade special exam, Nanase spoke with Ayanokouji and Horikita in the library again, proposing to negotiate with them in secret on the grounds of "ousting Hosen to become the leader herself,"to test whether the two cared about the future development of Class 1-D., Horikita rejected Nanase's proposal, so Nanase officially entered into a cooperative relationship with the two and proposed that she "would definitely bring Housen to meet on Sunday." Afterward, Nanase tentatively asked Ayanokouji, "What kind of person are you, Senpai?" Ayanokouji did not answer, so Nanase said, "I always thought Ayanokouji-senpai was an evil and dirty person, but based on our current contact, Ayanokouji-senpai is an ordinary person." Finally, Nanase obtained information about "Protection Points" from Ayanokouji.
On the seventh day of the cross-grade special exam, Nanase and Housen met Horikita, Ayanokouji, and Sudou at the designated location as agreed, but due to Housen's exorbitant demands and loathsome attitude, it led tothe plannedbreakdown of negotiations. As the other three were about to leave, Housenin order to ensure the plan to entrap Ayanokouji proceeded smoothlyprovoked them again, making Horikita determined not to cooperate with Class 1-D.
Subsequently, Housenpretendedto realize he couldn't gain any benefits, and thus proposed to go at 22:00 toa place where no one could see and there were no surveillance camerasbehind the dormitory building to negotiate, and Horikita agreed to his proposal. However, after the negotiations began, Housen went back on his word and used violence against Horikita and Sudou. Housen took outwasAmasawaAyanokouji's stolenchef's knife, intending to stab himself to frame Ayanokouji and get him expelled. However, Ayanokouji did not fight Housen as expected; instead, he saw through Housen's goal and voluntarily let the knife pierce his own palm to control Housen. To prevent himself from being expelled, Housen had no choice but to agree to the demand for cooperation with Class 2-D. Because of the wound on Ayanokouji's hand, there was enough evidence to tell the school that Housen did it to drag him down, preventing Housen from intentionally scoring 0 to cause Ayanokouji's expulsion. Thus, taking advantage of Housen's pride, he proposed that Housen partner with him in the cross-grade exam. Nanaseexpressionlesslywitnessed the entire process. To avoid targeted retaliation against Class 1-D by Ayanokouji and the others, Nanase explained the special exam to "expel Kiyotaka Ayanokouji" to the three from Class 2-D and said, "I don't think Ayanokouji-senpai is suited for this school."
