Summary
Arisu suggested Kiyotaka that for this special exam, she wanted to skip their duel as it was an exam between the members of a class and only thing outsiders can do was give praise points. She asked if they can have their duel in the next special exam to which Kiyotaka accepted.

Arisu seemed glad that it turned out like that and told that she was worried about what would happen if he refused. Then she tells him that since it is a temporary truce, she won't do anything that might hurt his trust for her. She thought it was better to instil the sense of rightfulness then having him on guard for a surprise attack. And if by any chance her actions lead to any harm to him, she would accept it as her loss.

Having confirmed her intentions with him, she thought she could use 'that' without reserve now and was looking forward to the results of the exam after it ends. After that time, she wanted to settle her duel with Ayanokouji
