Hachiman returned to the classroom.
It's time for school to end now, and the students in the class have already left.
Because they already knew the essence of this school, at seven o'clock in the morning, everyone received 45,000 private points.
The transfer party is the school. In other words, it is indeed the case.
The school will give them monthly living expenses based on their class evaluation scores.
Indeed, compared to the 100,000 points at the beginning, there are now less than half left, but even these 45,000 points are more than enough for a month's living as long as there is no major consumption.
So when the students naturally got the money, they threw all the self-discipline in the trash and went shopping.
However, one girl is still in the classroom.
Even if you are passing by, you can't help but take a second look, because she is very beautiful.
She has waist-length black hair spread over her back and shoulders, with a small bow tied with a white ribbon on the right side and a long, thin braid.
The waterfall-like black hair carries a lily fragrance, probably the smell of shampoo.
Sitting posture is dignified and beautiful.
Long eyelashes, orange fox-like eyes full of charm, and that delicate face.
However, the cold expression on the girl's face seemed to exude an aura of rejection all the time.
Just like the iceberg beauty, although she can reject many weak people, it makes others more interested in her.
And now, the other person is holding a book and reading it.
But if you look carefully, you will find that she is not calm inside, and is even a little panicked.
The reason was that although she was reading a book, Hachiman had been spying at her for 2 minutes, and she didn't even turn the damn page.
Um. Hachiman found that he also became slightly familiar with Horikita.
However, it was still the same every day.
On days when he was not invited to dinner by Sakayanagi Arisu, he chose to eat bread in the classroom during lunch break.
But Horikita-san brings her bento box everyday, and when Hachiman peeks at her, she immediately turns her bento slightly away from him.
"...." Hachiman. Of course, it's not that he wants to steal her lunch. Just trying to get the joy of food sharing.
That's all.....um, It feels like a lie. Of course, it is!
And now. Horikita is probably worried about him? Or that's what Hachiman wanted to think.
Because it sounds nice, right? Well, to be honest she was just itching to know what her brother told him!
She was not worried about Hachiman getting in trouble at all.
"I'm back." Hachiman announced, slightly in a good mood, "The Student council president didn't say anything important. He just praised our class."
Even his face looked proud while saying this.
Speaking of classes, although their classrooms have not been changed, the class card has changed to Class C, first grade.
He is a student of Class C, now. No wonder, he's happy. Even Chabashira-sensei gave him a good reward.
And getting a discipline committee member seat, is just an cherry on the top.
At the same time, it is probably the fastest-promoting class in the history of this school, so it is natural to receive praise.
"It's just..." But Hachiman's eyes suddenly looked more dead than usual while saying this, "The class evaluation score of Class A is very good. 988 points, It's too exaggerated!"
Indeed it is. It feels like cheating. He even wanted to throw a small stone at Katsuragi's head in frustration.
"..." Horikita Suzune. Over the past month, she has known the situation in her class.
And don't look at D... oh no, it is already Class C.
Don't look at Class C. On the sixth day after enrollment, Hachiman blew himself up and made the class evaluation scores public.
At that time, the class only had 480 points. And now, more than half a month later, I still have 450 points, which is very surprising.
But she also understood that everyone was working hard to support it for their own benefit.
Today is a new month, and there is no code of conduct test. The true colors were immediately revealed.
This morning, 22 students started touching their mobile phones in class.
Therefore, compared with the students in Class A who are self-disciplined and excellent in all aspects, the gap is very big.
"However, it's important to note now that it's a new month," Hachiman sighed heavily, there's nothing he could do about those scumbags, "Then we are going to see what the essence of this school really is."
"In other words..." Horikita Suzune murmured, remembering Chabashira-sensei's words from that lecture.
Yes. The monthly special examinations exclusive to Advanced Nurturing High School have officially begun.
...
The next day.
All students arrived in the classroom.
Dong Dong Dong -
At this time, the echo of the homeroom teacher Sae Chabashira's high heels was heard, and she walked in with a piece of paper rolled up like a poster in both hands.
There isn't much expression on the face. Looks a little serious.
At the same time.
"It's already time for the class meeting, why don't you go back to your seats?" She glanced at the class that had become a mess after just one day, and when she spoke, she was extremely fierce.
Noticing this, Hachiman glanced at Horikita. Both of them had serious looks in their eyes.
Because Teacher Chabashira's expression showed that the exams that finally arrived this month were very stressful for this class.
It's really stressful. There are too many idiots, who are at risk of being expelled.
"On the 6th of last month, I told you the essence of this school. And you were able to maintain a class evaluation score of 450 points on the 1st. To be honest, many faculty members were also surprised including me, because according to your past performance, this is too exaggerated that you did not complete the deductions within 10 days."
This is a bit too much, Sensei.
Many students feel embarrassed, but some look quite proud about this achievement. But they at least felt at ease.
Because they have already created the greatest feat of deducting 500 points in 6 days, smashing all the records of previous Class D's over the roof.
Very proud. So, there is nothing to say if you are not trusted by the teachers.
If they had seen Chie-sensei's scary face in the morning, some people may not have even come to the class.
Quiet topic.
And. The most important thing is that after this month, they have held on!
We held on, Goddamn it! Some legendary back benchers even thought they should be rewarded instead!
Hachiman noticed that the backs of his classmates seemed to be straighter.
Chabashira also unloaded the class evaluation scores of the four classes written on the small blackboard downstairs.
Then write the evaluation scores of the four classes on the blackboard.
First-year Class A 988
First-year Class B 751
First-year Class C 450
First-year Class D 0
Among them, Hachiman and the others are already in Class C. 450 points is already a surprising score for this class.
Because if there is no intervention, I am afraid that the end of last month will be 0 points just like in canon.
That was really dark times. Hachiman just shuddered thinking about, what would happen if he didn't issue a punishment system.
And Chabashira-sensei seemed to say the same thing.
"Then on the 1st of every month, the school is supposed to give you living expenses based on your class evaluation score....." She paused for several seconds, scaring some students, who had a bad feeling for some reason.
Ike got nervous, and couldn't handle it anymore, "Sensei, why the long pause....? I'm getting scared!" he shouted, at the teacher, pointing out everyone's common question.
Hondou, and the others looked at him in slight admiration, their looks seemed to say, "You're so brave!"
Taking a look at her students anxious faces, Chabashira-sensei, didn't hesitate to pour the cold water on everyone's head, "Unfortunately, your dream is over!"
"Why is this...." A girl named Inogashira muttered quietly to herself, but her whisper was heard by all of her classmates.
With that said, she posted the note on the blackboard and fixed it with magnets.
"This school's specialty, the special exam that is held every month is about to begin. And this month's special exam is a written paper."
"But don't feel unfair, this time the exam is the same for the whole grade"
"Then." Teacher Chabashira explained why she came in with a straight face.
What she showed was a math paper score. Among them, the most eye-catching one is Koenji Rokusuke with 100 points.
The second one is Horikita Suzune with 94 points.
Then there is Teruhiko Yukimura with 91 points.
After that, Kushida Kikyo scored 83 points and Hirata Yosuke scored 78 points.
And Hachiman looked at his score, and sighed. 60 points.
But the scores of some students below were just outrageous.
They were so awesome that Koenji, who didn't care about this class, also thought he should have done better in his interview instead of ridiculing that commoner.
"This is the result of the previous small test. If you look at it yourself, you will know what kind of rubbish scores you got. But considering that you are all defective products, it is not surprising that you will get such scores." A cold chill was felt by several students, even though the sun was shining outside with all its might.
"In addition, " Sae Chabashira said, turning around and looking at everyone with cold and sharp eyes, "From this time on, those who failed the midterm and final exams will be kicked out from the school immediately."
"Huh? This is rubbish! Do you have to drop out if you fail?!" Ike, who has already become the voice of several students asked this question.
Hachiman looked over in surprise, didn't they know this before?
Ike's not very tall and a little thin. But his expression instantly turned ugly, and he even screamed.
"Kicked out for failing a written test? What kind of bullshit is this? What about the special exam?! This is too unfair!" Not just Ike Kanji, Sudo also shouted.
He became famous last month for fighting with the students of Class C.
Then it was also proven that he was framed by Ryuen, and directly caused his class to get a promotion.
Very lucky.
Sudo's mood was quite complicated because of this, because can he get so many good things by fighting?
Maybe he should do it again, with Class B or something? But he didn't say his thoughts out loud. He was thinking of telling Horikita about his master plan later.
At the same time, he also has the same motor nerves as a plug-in that exceeds that of ordinary people.
'But. Obviously. I don't even know what pi is? Can it be eaten with soy sauce?'
Well yeah.... anyway his study is not good.
Although a little rude. But as a camera for observing humans, Hachiman also recognized it.
Kanji Ike, Ken Sudo and Haruki Yamauchi are the most rubbish group in the class.
And their scores are also the worst.
Ken Sudo was the most exaggerated, with only 16 points, while Kanji Ike was not much better, with 24 points.
As for Haruki Yamauchi, he is better, but he only has 27 points!
The passing line is generally calculated as half of the class average.
However. Judging from the results of the test paper that Teacher Chabashira showed now.
The average score of the class is fifty-five points, but based on half of this standard, it is still 27 points!
As for Class D, there are seven people with scores lower than 27!
In other words, if according to the standard of expelling students if they fail, then these people will all be wiped out like dirt!
And it is not impossible for someone with a score of 30-40 or more not to study well and fail? Yeah, anything is possible in this class.
Hachiman was very sure about this kind of thing. But it's definitely not a thing to be proud of.
It can be said that there are less than 20 students in the class who can be absolutely safe now...
"I know that you have free tuition from the school and even worked hard to get living expenses, but very low chances of reaching Class A."
But if you want to get the benefits of admission and employment rate, the school require you to compete. As long as you graduate from Class A at the end, you can receive this treatment" Teacher Chabashira tried to encourage the students, with her cold mouth.
"And here are the exam rules for this midterm exam. The content is physics, chemistry, biology, English and mathematics, a total of five subjects."
"The exam time is on the 24th and 25th of this month."
"And if you stand out in this exam, you can get up to 100 points in class evaluation, which in exchange is an increase of 10,000 points in living expenses every month."
In other words, almost after hearing the news, Horikita turned to look at her father.
Because when he wanted to save the points from last month's class, he said this before.
Hachiman was worried that the points in the future would not be high, so he had to accumulate something at the beginning.
And now looking at it, it is indeed the case.
Except for the first month of school admission, the scores for the other monthly special exams will not be too high.
And now, this month's midterm exam only has a numerical value of 100 class evaluation scores.
"So what is the composition of a teacher's 100 points? Or rather, how can I get a perfect score of 100 points?" Horikita Suzune suddenly said at this time, causing some poor students to look at her in horror.
100 points? Is this girl shaking her pussy?!
"Horikita-san!" They couldn't help but exclaim out loud.
In the last Sudo incident, she played an important role.
According to Hikigaya, Horikita-san was a ghost witness to the Sudo fight, but the reason why she did not come forward to testify directly was that Ryuen's class went too far, and they were worried that this mob character would attack students in our class again, so the trial was postponed.
As a result, Ryuen's class exploded, and kicked their own butt, directly charged 400 points, even the class fell down from it's position.
Causing Sakagami, their head teacher to get sneering looks from his peers. Even a normal math teacher with no authority laughed at him during lunch break.
He even had to listen to the loud swearing of his mobile phone at night.
Why him? What did he ever do to deserve this kind of humiliation? Wasn't Ryuen his best student?
Grass!
Everyone became students of Class D inexplicably.
But Hachiman has to say that he used to think Horikita was aloof, but now, she has gained a certain degree of popularity.
But for some poor students, isn't now the time to think about how to avoid failing?
Why pay attention to points? Didn't you see the flying score of Sudo, 16 points? Their Class hero!
"If no one fails the exam, and the average score of each subject is above 80, then you can get a reward of a full class evaluation score of 100 points.
2. No one fails the exam, and the average score of each subject is above 50-80 points , then you can get a class evaluation score of 70 points.
3. No one fails the exam, and the average score of each subject is below 50 points, then you can get a class evaluation score of 30 points.
And once someone fails the exam and is drop out of school, you won't get a score in this exam." Chabashira-sensei answered Horikita Suzune's question.
"Eh... So as long as you fail, you will get no points at all!" A student spoke quickly, "This... She paused as if thinking how to properly insult the school.
"This is injustice to the people who get high marks, it's obvious that the school doesn't want to give us money!"
Hachiman also looked over, at this brave person, full of courage.
It was a cute girl with a beautiful golden single ponytail.
This time it's Karuizawa. It's said that she likes to take other people's words, and made them her own.
Very Illegal, she would be in danger if someone gets irritated by this behaviour, and complains to the student council.
Why do you always have a strong desire to express yourself?
However, in his opinion, people who like to express themselves are lacking in certain aspects.
So, Karuizawa has something, she's hiding. Of course, there are also those who simply like to express themselves without thinking like Ike and Yamauchi.
It's just that Yamauchi's grades are probably terrible, so he thought it would be better to shut up.
And about Ike..... well, there's nothing to say. This guy just can't keep quiet. It's already a miracle that he didn't talk during classes last month.
Hachiman was even thinking of offering some flowers to the Buddha.
"Concerning this, the students of Class B will support us. They have many students with good academic performance, and will hold study meetings for us." At this time, Hirata-san looked at his phone, then got Chabashira-sensei permission to interrupt.
Very well mannered. In other words, someone will guide you in your studies.
That makes people feel a little more at ease.
"...." Kushida, who was an insider about this parasitic arrangement, knows the reality behind the scenes.
She again realised, that her boss is really evil.
__________
Chabashira-sensei just announced the exam items and the scores obtained, which indeed shattered everyone's dreams.
After all, this class is full of people who are not very good at studying.
Then according to the three levels of score value obtained by 100 points mentioned by Teacher Chabashira, even if all students in the class can pass the study meeting.
Which already feels like a pipe dream, for Yukimura after seeing those ridiculous scores.
Their average score on the test would definitely.....yeah. There's no need to mention.
So, maybe you can only get the one with a class evaluation score of up to 30 points.
There is no way around it. Many people had long faces, especially the people with top academics.
The foundation of this class is shit.
Then somehow, the lunch break came.
"The midterm exam was announced in the morning, but the students went directly to have a cheerful meal. They didn't even care about the exam at all. It was really heartless!" Horikita Suzune was angry, she was a top student in Class C, and feels unfair in her heart.
'Why are there so many idiots in this class? Red dot in a written exam?' Suzune snorted in disbelief by just thinking about it.
"Get used to this." Hachiman also felt quite tired after listening to Horikita's complaints, he even forgot how many times this girl snorted at this point.
It turned out that this sister was really a member of the Horikita family. Both of them have a complaining type of attitude as if venting their own frustrations to other person.
Horikita-nii was ridiculing Ryuen's Class in the student council.
And now his little sister, Suzune was yelling non-stop, the entire break, about the bad performance of her classmates in written exams.
Hachiman even felt like charging some points from these two people.
But don't forget, he just wants to arrange for his class to reach Class A once, instead of graduating from it.
In other words, he doesn't think the students in his class can hold onto their thighs, and look at their back at the same time to defend themselves from the attack of other three classes.
It would really be a horrifying situation.
And. According to the information obtained from Chabashira-sensei and the school's arrangements for upper and lower-level classes, the lower ones will also be controlled by the school when they are promoted.
So, one touch is enough. He doesn't want to go against the school's policies.
Otherwise, if Yamauchi really graduates on behalf of Class A and faces the society, the school's face will be swollen.
"But what are you thinking about?"
Horikita noticed that after Hachiman finished eating the rice balls, he put his hands on the table and looked like he was in a daze.
"It's the evaluation scores of the four classes this time. Except for Class A, which is cheating and Class D with 0 points." Hachiman said, while rubbing his forehead.
"Class D, isn't it Ryuen-kun's class?"
Suzune nodded, she also didn't understand these scores either, "For making false accusations, their class only had 210 points left, and a month has passed. Their score is now 0. Isn't it unreasonable?"
"..." Hachiman.
Even though she is Horikita Manabu's younger sister, this girl can't live up to his expectations at all.
"It's the change in this score." Hachiman corrected his small child, he really should start charging fees hourly.
But for now, he wrote a few numbers in the notebook.
Perhaps because she wanted to see clearly what he wrote, Horikita Suzune left her seat and came to Hachiman's side.
Um. It was as if he could feel the girl's long, slippery hair sliding on his face.
But Hachiman still focused on writing honestly, not wanting to be labelled as a pervert.
What he wrote were two sets of numbers.
610 points and 210 points.
"Do you have an impression of these two points?" Hachiman then deliberately started giving her a lecture, "This is the score of Ryuuen's class. At first, because I destroyed the camera, the score was made public. Ryuuen's class was left with 610 points. But a week later, after Sudo's heroic incident, the score of Ryuen's class was revealed."
"According to President Horikita's deduction, his class was deducted 400 points," Hachiman said, while looking at her face.
"That is to say." Suzune finally started to care.
"Yes." Hachiman nodded his head, "His class is indeed terrible. And the students in Class A are very self-disciplined, only a few points were deducted."
"But Ryuen's class can maintain a week without deducting a single point. It's about their students. Are they self-disciplined like Class A?"
"Of course not, but Ryuen's ability to control the class is very strong." Hachiman concluded, as if trying to make her realise that this is a dangerous opponent.
"But they have 0 points now, right?" Suzune was still confused, what incredible things is this boy saying again?
'How's this class dangerous?' Suzune couldn't see it. They have 0 points for fuck's sake!
This girl.... Hachiman, he looked at her with a disappointed expression on his face, "0 points is very dangerous. Because we can't confirm whether they will turn into negative points."
He even used his left thumb and second finger to make a zero sign, then passed the middle finger of his right hand from the hole, to make this explanation easier for this dense girl to understand.
"...." A student who came back from the classroom after eating his lunch, looked at what Hachiman was teaching Horikita with his fingers.
Then he just left the classroom quietly without saying a single word, with his head looking at the floor, as if feeling quite ashamed to witness such a thing.
"...." Hachiman. 'Did I do something?'
He looked at Horikita, to see if something was off, but she didn't even pay attention to that student and opened her mouth.
"Then what's the use? What will happen if it doesn't turn into negative points?" Horikita Suzune chose to ask this question instead of looking at other people.
She felt that Hachiman must be thinking about something that she hadn't thought of.
"I'm thinking, if you have 0 points, they won't be deducted even if they continue to violate the school rules.
They can go to other classes to collect protection money.
'For example, if I go and pick a fight with other classes, there's a possibility that the students in both classes will be suspended for a week or two.'
This will hinder other classes who want to study. And if the student fails the exam, not only will he be dropped out but their class points will also be penalized and take a painful hit.
So, other classes will not dare to go against them, they can only pay protection fees." Hachiman ended his explanation with a dramatic whistle.
"..." Suzune. Hey, hey, hey?!
'Having 0 points is really that scary?!' Suzune felt like she had learned a new life lesson.
It's simply shameless!
"So, this is Ryuen-kun's purpose, that their class will not have any points deducted even if they bombed the other classes, and will only posion their enemies. This kind of thing....it's just...can a person be really that shameless?" Horikita Suzune couldn't accept the hard reality, her father just explained.
It's just like a parent who's teaching his child, the dark side of society. That adult word is full of malice, and there are such people who just want to bite each other's throats without any specific reason.
But Hachiman shook his head.
"I don't think Ryuen thinks that much." Hachiman denied, when he saw the girl sitting in front of him sweating, "If he did, then the Sudo incident would not have happened."
"So Ryuen's class became 0 points, probably because he deducted too many points, and then for the remaining 200, he'll have to restrain the students after a huge failure, which may cause opposition, so it is better to just destroy it."
From this perspective, Ryuen may be an honest person in his class.
"But let's contact Ichinose from Class B in the evening," Hachiman then decided to change the topic, his eyes getting bright all of a sudden.
"What you mean is..." Even Horikita was taken aback by the sudden change.
"Borrow the top students from them." Hachiman said in a happy tone, as if he likes people working under him for free very much, "Remember the agreement we made with the students in the class before. If the class evaluation score of 400 points is left, everyone will be happy."
"At the same time, because the class evaluation score exceeds 400 points, the next time we encounter a test that may kick people out of school, we must help those hanging children."
"And now that we have got so many points, and the students in our class will definitely come to me begging later, it'll be really annoying to deal with." The boy, clearly remembered both the punishment and rewards, he issued inside their class.
So, there's no need to go back on his word.
"Aren't you thinking too badly of the students in our class but... well... then, let's just go see Ichinose-san" Horikita originally wanted to deny it, but suddenly thought of the Sudo incident.
As Sudo's friend, Yamauchi announced in the public that he might really hit someone.
Indeed. Some students cannot be trusted.
But,"I still can't understand it," Suzune just started complaining again, "It's obviously just a simple exam, which is a test of daily learning. If you listen carefully in class from the beginning, there'll be no such thing as failing?"
Okay. So, this is the reason why Hachiman formed an alliance with Class B.
'I just feel like the top students in my class is unreliable.'
It was so Versailles. In this way.
Hachiman took out his cell phone and contacted Kushida. He didn't have Ichinose's contact information, so he needed this angel.
