Twenty minutes later, Horikita Manabu followed Oreki to the chairman's office.
The chairman's office is a separate three-story building. The first floor is the office area, and the second floor is the reception hall.
As for the third floor, sometimes he is too busy with work, so he will stay directly in the lounge on the third floor.
Therefore, the chairman is also a very diligent person.
Oreki updated his views on the chairman.
He came to Horikita Manabu today for only one purpose - to exchange points for cash.
This is a side reward of the main quest.
[Main Mission-20 Million Points Battle]
[Task requirement: Collect 20 million points in three months]
[Task reward: Superpower physique (physical transformation) has been obtained]
[Current progress: The task has been exceeded. ]
[Private account points: 20,327,500 points. ]
[Remarks: All the points earned by the host can be entrusted to Horikita Manabu, who is about to graduate in third grade, and they are guaranteed to be converted into cash. ]
"Are you sure you want to convert the points directly into cash now?" Horikita Manabu said.
"You need to stay in this school for three more years."
"If you have enough points on hand, it's still very comfortable."
"When you graduate, you don't have to pay to convert your points into cash."
What Brother Horikita is talking about here is the convenience of having points that can be used flexibly to avoid punishment or bribe others.
And like the points in Oreki's hand, probably no one in the school can refuse.
So this is a very important card.
"I don't like to wait for so long. It's better to just settle down." Oreki said. "As long as the chairman agrees to my application, then President Horikita can also take advantage of this ride. Get the cash first."
"Am I——"
Horikita Manabu paused.
According to the school's rules, the school will acquire graduates' points in proportion when they graduate.
This is to prevent older students from transferring points to lower grades, allowing them to gain for nothing, or causing confusion.
This is a school rule.
This is also a rule that only third graders are told.
But just like all head teachers tell their students when they enroll, as long as they have points, they can buy anything in this school.
Then this regular rule can also be changed using points.
So you generally need to graduate to convert points into money, but you can do it right now by spending points.
This is an understanding and practical application of school rules.
Although there is no precedent, Horikita believes that the chairman will agree.
But there is a price to pay.
So you can really transfer the points to Oreki first, and then convert them into money and put them in your pocket first.
In this way, you only need to spend one amount to exchange points for two people.
But Horikita Manabu shook his head.
"I'd better wait," he said. "Graduation is less than a year away."
So good luck to you.
Oreki-san remained calm.
President Horikita is a very diligent person and also a very fair person.
It was clear that he had some savings in his hands, but they were not converted into money in the end, indicating that if the class was short of numbers, he might even take out all his savings.
to him.
Class A of the third grade is very important, friends, it is very important.
And it can be seen from this that he is a person who values emotions quite a lot.
So when he found out that his sister was placed in Class D when she entered school, he wanted her to drop out of school because he was worried that his sister would eventually be harmed by the rules of this school.
It's just that Horikita Manabu didn't dare to convert the little savings into cash first.
this means.
President Horikita, you have a weakness.
You don't have absolute confidence at the last moment.
And isn't this a sign of understanding that the students in the class cannot hold their position in Class A?
so.
If you don't drop out of Nagumo before graduation, then this will become Nagumo's weak point in attacking you.
Oreki Houtarou thought in his mind.
...
"Creak——"
However, the two walked towards the office, only to find that the office door was pushed open from inside.
It was Chairman Sakayanagi with silver-white hair.
His hand rested on the door.
The chairman is still the same as before. He looks very energetic in suits and ties. He wears black-rimmed glasses and short silver-white hair. He looks tall and gentle.
He opened the door himself.
However, he is not alone.
A super cute girl with straight silver hair walked out.
She looks cute.
She is not tall and wears a white silk suspender belt.
It seems that it is difficult to move around, so she needs to hold a cane.
But this person is an acquaintance of Oreki-san.
His neighbor Arisu Sakayanagi.
Judging from his actions, the chairman seemed to be opening the door for Sakayanagi Arisu, who was in poor health.
As soon as the chairman's door opened, people from both sides came face to face.
"…" Arisu Sakayanagi.
"..." Oreki-san.
Neither side looked sideways.
Sakayanagi Arisu held the cane and walked away a little without stopping.
And Oreki-san didn't have any intention of calling her back.
"Chairman, Oreki-kun has something to ask of you."
And Manabu Horikita was even more focused.
As the student council president, he knew very well that the chairman's daughter was admitted to school this year.
Assigned to Class A.
Moreover, because of work, Horikita Manabu needs to come to the board of directors frequently to report on the situation.
So he met Sakayanagi Arisu more than once.
But Horikita Manabu himself is a very fair person.
He didn't think the chairman played favorites by placing his daughter in Class A.
Therefore, Sakayanagi Arisu could hardly be rated in sports but she was eventually placed in Class A. This should be because the school rated her highly.
And Manabu Horikita also confirmed Sakayanagi Arisu's operation within the part-time work authority.
So when Oreki took the initiative to criticize Nagumo, he gave out the identity of the accountant of the student union to Sakayanagi Arisu.
Rather than borrowing flowers to send to Beauty, it was an expression of affirmation of Sakayanagi Arisu's strength.
However, although they were students in the same class, Oreki and Sakayanagi Arisu looked quite strange.
Is it a bad relationship?
He thought they had a good relationship.
Is the information provided by Katsuragi-kun wrong?
...
The chairman glanced at his daughter who was walking away, and then looked at Oreki-san.
"Oreki-kun, what do you want to do today?"
"I'd like to redeem my points for cash in advance."
"In other words, I want to get money." Houtaro Oreki said. "And it's cash!"
"..." Chairman Sakayanagi.
The chairman pursed his lips.
"You surprise me every time." said the chairman.
It should be said that they are indeed a family. Sometimes the words spoken by Chairman Sakayanagi are the same as those of Arisu Sakayanagi.
Both are the type who are interested in other people.
However, Sakayanagi-san is a very aggressive Tyrannosaurus rex, and the chairman seems much gentler.
"Generally speaking, points can only be redeemed when you graduate."
"Other situations are prohibited." said the chairman.
"But since you're here, it doesn't hurt to give you a chance. Since this is the first time I've heard a proposal like this, you can get this permission by submitting 300,000 points."
As the chairman, he can monitor students' private accounts.
Of course, because of the existence of point cards, this private account appears to be relatively distorted.
However, some abnormal or supernormal phenomena can still be observed.
But Oreki Houtaro did not use point cards.
His private account has reached 20 million.
No one in the school has collected 20 million points alone, and the effect of getting 20 million points is also very strong. You can avoid the penalty of dropping out of school, and you can also directly apply to jump to the class you want.
In other words, if you are in the lower class, you can go directly to Class A by submitting 20 million.
Cling to Class A's lap and fly together.
But what if you are in the upper class?
Then there's no need to jump.
You are in Class A yourself.
There is no place to jump.
Could it be that you want to jump to Class A of the third grade who graduated this year?
in the morning.
Chairman Sakayanagi was still discussing with the board of directors how Oreki-kun will use the 20 million.
Then some people asked whether it would be allowed if Houtaro Oreki proposed to directly use 20 million to apply to jump to Class A of Horikita Gakuin when this class graduates.
result...
Oreki-kun gave everyone different answers.
He wants to exchange it for cash.
If you graduate from Class A of Ikusei High School, you can be admitted to the university of your choice without exams or tuition. If you directly apply for a job, you will be offered a position according to your wishes.
So it's like reaping a bright future.
In the end, Oreki-san chose to ask for money.
It's like the school is being looked down upon.
But it can't be said that he is a student of Class A. If the class graduates as Class A, he can also enjoy the benefits of the school.
at the same time.
This can be regarded as an insurance.
Being able to stay in this school is not free. The school will conduct various examinations and various choices.
Therefore, it is difficult to say whether the points in hand will be useful in the end.
The school collects points from graduates and gives an exchange ratio of 0.8.
And Oreki Houtaro took out 20 million points, which means that they can be exchanged for 16 million in cash.
In other words.
In any case, regardless of whether he graduated from Class A or dropped out of school, Houtarou Oreki had a way out.
He didn't pick up 16 million in cash for nothing.
16 million in cash can be worth a house outside.
It can also bring a long period of buffering in life.
Overall, this isn't a bad choice.
"Are you sure you've made this decision?"
The chairman took Oreki to the studio on the first floor, where staff responsible for exchanges were already present.
"Yeah." Oreki nodded.
