Room 72

This is the overall seventy-third chapter of You-Zitsu manga series.

Summary
Suzune asserts that she is not useless because she outperforms her classmates in both written and physical tests. Kiyotaka comments that it would be acceptable if she were just another student, but as the class leader who hoped to lead her classmates to Class A, she needed to be prepared for anything. She angrily demands that he provide evidence to back up his claim.

He points out that, while it is true that there is nothing that can be done about the D-class situation, this is because she did not plan beforehand. Kiyotaka advises her to decide which option is more preferable: one in which Sudou is absent from the festival while she focuses on improving her ranking, or one in which she brings Sudou back and he leads the class to victory in the sports festival. He believes that there is no need to even think about it because Sudou has contributed more to the sports festival than anyone else. Kiyotaka claims that she is wasting the chance to have a unique weapon of her own. He tells her that there will be more special exams like this one in the future, where there will be a limit to what she can accomplish alone. He leaves her alone after urging her to ponder his remarks.

During the break, Ike and Yamauchi bring lunch boxes for everyone. Ike wonders whether Kushida will eat with them or if she has gone to search for Sudou. While they were talking, Hirata approached them and asked if he and Kei could join them for lunch.
