Chapter 8 - A New Month

It's the end of the month and my theory is already confirmed.

We are all seated in class, i decided to stop looking through the window and check the points allotted in our student's account.

*Ding*

Notification could be heard, as it resounded in the classroom. I checked my student account and saw 1,300 points added to my current amount which was 166,000. in total is

My points at the end of last month was about 86,000. I blackmailed Osamu Wakura into paying me 50,000 points every month, i made her start with paying me 80,000 points in order for the video of her goons to not be revealed to the school as it equals expulsion.

In total is 166,000 points.

Chei Hoshinomiya, walked into the class with a smile on her face and some papers grasped in her arms.

" Miss Chei-chan, we noticed the point in our account quite lower than the one promised by the school" the boy named Mako Akimura expressed.

"I never said anything about the school promising you a 100,000 points every month, infact you were higher than most of the other class only the students of class A surpassed you guys in points". Chei was choosing her words carefully on the day she explained the whole point system.....

She was on to something.

Mako didn't have any response to her statement, cause it was true. The school assured us but they didn't make any promise that we're going to be allotted a 100,000 points.

"Okay but is there a reason for our points to be 1,300"

Chihiro Shiranami questioned, but Chei looked over to Ichinose for her response.

"Well i believe what Miss Chei was trying to make clear was that, they would be class points. Am i correct"

Damn

Right on the money.

I knew Ichinose is smart on average but she surpassed my expectations. I believed that the point we are using in our own personal preference, are called private points. If they are observing our actions as students then we come to a theory that they could be a thing called class points.

"I would like to add to Ichinose's analysis. So if i may assume our merits are valued which makes up the class points, then that means our class points affects our personal points. If so may i assume these personal points are called Private points as well." Kanzaki made a valid point in his question and he was also correct as well.

"Yes, you are correct Ryuji Kanzaki kun."

It appears my calculations made it clear as 1 Class points equals a 100 private points.

Am now fully informed our class performance plays a role in the points system.

Chei sensei started writing on the board the class rankings currently.

Class A .....940 Cp

Class B.....650 Cp

Class C.....490 Cp

Class D.....220 Cp

Class A is at the top of the rankings, but was nothing impressive about it. On a normal day, you're supposed to act well behaved in class or anywhere for that matter. I assume this is taught in middle school and in home's.

Chei Hoshinomiya was saying in general that she refused to share the information that merits are used in determining amount of points given to students, cause she expected us to have that common sense so she could know what kind of student she was dealing with in general.

But the students of class D was....

Wow!!

They're either stupid or...

I can't really defend them on this.

" But are there ways, we could gain more points, cause relying on our merit isn't a good option." Mako questioned.

" Don't worry they're still opportunities in increasing your Class points" Chei sensei had her smile up.

I'm just not feeling it anymore and i just wanna go back to my room, with a cup of coffee and....

"Lloyd.... are you from Japanese?." I really hoped that i won't stand out when am attending here. But with this question Hoshinomiya shot me, i would bring attention to my self.

"Um.... am not Japanese"

"Oh we have foreigner in our class what a surprise of this year's bunch" sensei sounded a bit alluring with her words.

"Seriously you're not from Japan, that's so cool!!" Mako said in excitement.

I haven't even revealed my Nationality of origins, but the room was already filled whisper's filled with my name.

" Oh my he's a hotty"

" Sure he's a cutey"

" i know right "

"So what country are you from? Lloyd kun"

"Um, please I'd rather not say... sorry"

"No, it's we that should be sorry. We asked a sensitive question, what needed to ask is how do find Japan?"

"Uh... Nice culture and people"

"That's great, i hope you enjoy your stay in Japan!!" Sensei said in excitement.

"You know,Inquiring of one's Nationality isn't a sensitive question"

"Shut up Mako" Sayo bites back at Mako's words

"Well then if you have any questions feel free, to ask and don't forget to study" sensei concluded.

Hoshinomiya sensei finished the explanation of the point system, and everyoneade their way out of the class.

I dodged a bullet and succeeded in not telling them my Nationality....

i mean It's not like i can tell them my country dropped a Nuke on them killing millions.

Ichinose Honami POV

while heading to the cafeteria. i saw Kushida sitting with girls from other classes maybe another year and she had a laugh with each other. I had to admit she is just good at socializing than me, that's for sure.

I waved her and she did the same with her smile.

Once i took my seat, when Sayo suddenly appeared on my side.

" Ichinose what ya got there"

"Just some....."

"Nevermind, am really curious about where Lloyd comes from. have any ideas?" Sayo being Sayo just cut's me off sentence

" I really don't think he will appreciate us snooping into his background. If he wants to talk about it, then he will" I said as i went for my order at the counter.

" I guess you're right, it's kinda mysterious and i think that's sexy."

" Sayo, that's..... well..."

"What Ichinose? it is true though, i mean Kozue already got Lloyd on her radar and that's saying something"

She noticed it too huh, it was obvious though.

"So you noticed?"

"Yeah, it was kinda obvious"

"Should we help her out" Sayo teased.

"I don't know it's not cool to say someone likes the other cause they stare"

" I think so too, but you know me i gotta get my entertainment by teasing the two of them"

I just sighed and i reflected back at the school's point system and class D being in the last. That would be pretty rough.

I started digging in when i saw Lloyd walking around looking for a seat, with his usual bored look.

But there was someone behind him with a purple pigtails.

" Isn't that Kozue?"

"Yeah..." i confirmed Sayo's suspicions

"But what's up with her following him around?."

"Maybe they're searching for a seat. Am gonna let them know there's a seat here."

"Kozue san, Lloyd kun!!!" we called out to them and they caught a glance from us.

They made their way to our table, and took a seat.

"Um... thanks for the assist i was really considering eating in class" Lloyd expressed his thoughts.

" No worries, at least now i can ask you brimming questions in my head" Sayo said in a sly manner.

"If it's about my country, No i won't be telling you that it's also very easy to guess. And if you're wondering if am single then also No, am not considering been in a relationship"

"Wow, i didn't even ask and you're already on point" Sayo pouted.

"Aren't you guys thinking of making a study group for the mid terms?"

We turned around to see Kanzaki with his disciplined looks. Although Lloyd did not turn to see who was speaking.

" Well Kanzaki, i was about to propose making a study group for students with low academic accuracy" Lloyd could tell it was Kanzaki without looking at him. Simply drinking his coffee.

" Am relieved to see someone in our class has a priority in the betterment of class B." Kanzaki remark was a bit harsh but it was great that Lloyd was participating in class activities.

" Kozue" Sayo snaps Kozue out Lloyd's trance.

"Oh.... what is it?"

"You were out of earth" Sayo said in a worried expression, Lloyd just kept drinking his cup of coffee.

" Was i ? .... sorry if i weren't paying attention" She apologized for nothing actually.

I was really worried for her though.

Kozue POV

Flashback last month

It was a Friday when i got a call. My room was really messy, i kept looking for my phone cause the clothes i bought are now in heap so thought sorting them out will make the room appear more free, but in the process, i misplaced my phone.

I found it at the top of the shelf, so i looked at the caller and it was Lloyd.

I picked up the phone and answered the call.

( Lloyd): you finally picked up huh?

( Kozue): Am sorry i misplaced my phone.

( Lloyd): Just wanted to inform you of the 20,000 points transfer.

( Kozue): 20,000!!!..... that's too much!!! i never needed that much you helped me by lending half of your points and i appreciate it.

(Lloyd): ... Am sorry, i forgot to mention that i was going to help in getting you the total points you were scammed of.

( Kozue): are you for real?

( Lloyd): is there a problem, i thought that's what friends are for.

( Kozue): Yeah it's not like am complaining but...

( Lloyd): then there is no discussion, i promised in helping you, i will take care of your financial needs.

( Kozue): Oh.... that's good..... but what about you.

( Lloyd ): no need to worry about me.

Cuts phone call.

End of flashback

..

..

..

Lloyd was ... a mystery. His change in attitude in my room last month was surprising, on the surface in class he always looks through the window not really paying attention to Chei sensei teaching's.

Now that i think about he is some what attractive, his silver hair and his signature bored look and sleepy eyes with ash pupils, was all i needed to identify from afar.

I don't know him but he is not a normal guy...

Or maybe am just thinking about it too much.
