The third-year class 2 of Rintoku Gakuin participated as finalists in the "High School Business Project Competition" (VisiCon). The judge, Nakaoka, warned Mikami (Matsuzaka), "Despite what you may think, I am actually a consultant for startup companies. I'm telling you, I can't take sides."
When the students of class 2 finished their presentation on the theme of "High school students' dreams of a future business support fund," they received a big round of applause from the audience. As the moderator shouted "That was a great presentation!", Nakaoka showed her notes to the other judges and asked, "Are there any other rankings?" and said, "You see, I get to work because of my credibility."
After that, when it was announced that Class 3-2 had won, comments like "I have a new opinion of Nakaoka-san now," "Who the hell is Nakaoka!?" "Nakaoka-san is a fair person, so he should just be a good person," "What, I always thought Nakaoka-san was a shady character with a dark side, but maybe he's just a normal nice guy!?" and "I hope Nakaoka-san is on Mikami Sensei's side" appeared on social media.
On the other hand, there were also opinions such as, "The BizCon is full of collusion and favoritism, but Nakaoka is not stupid enough to overlook a truly talented student? Or is there something bigger going on behind the scenes?" and "He won the BizCon, but it seems like there is adult favoritism behind the scenes again this time. I wonder who Nakaoka's trust is so important to him."
