★★★
Hirata was indeed not arranged by Hachiman.
Rather, it was his own action.
In fact, yesterday, when he asked Kushida to spread rumors, Hirata seemed very enthusiastic, and even went to the soccer club himself in order to investigate the truth of the rumors, and then obtained the number of Second Year and Third Year students from his seniors at the cost of joining the club.
Confirmed that after coming to this School, a large number of students dropped out.
But he also got a new piece of information.
Third Year A Class where Horikita Manabu is located is the only Class among the upperclassmen that had 40 students when they entered School and still has 40 students in Third Year.
No one in this Class dropped out.
The above is all the information obtained by Hirata, and it was also shared with everyone.
The information is all in the Class group.
And now, Hirata actually stood up to defend Hachiman when he was being attacked?
Just.
It's a pity.
Being kind to others and helping others.
These are all very good qualities.
But Hirata, you were assigned to Class D of Grade 1.
A place that is judged as garbage dump, so what is it that you didn't say, what is in your past that made the examiner ignore all your shining points after reviewing your information, and then assign you to Class D here.
So, although Hirata stood up to help, what Hachiman felt was pressure.
But remember the other party's favor.
Thinking this, Hachiman turned his gaze to the girl in the seat on his left.
"..."
Horikita Suzune.
Yeah.
Horikita is now looking at him with bright eyes, because it seems that there is no room for her to interrupt.
According to Hachiman's plan, once he was besieged by the students in the Class, or even said that he was deducted 50 points and then asked to pay for it himself, then he would ask Horikita to stand up and defuse the situation.
And the way to defuse the situation was similar to Hirata's.
As the saying goes, the law does not punish the masses.
But in the entire Class, except for Horikita Suzune alone, everyone else has made small moves in Class, and even Hirata cannot be exempted.
So, push the responsibility out, everyone is deducting points, so why track Hikigaya's 50 points?
It's just that now this plan has been used by Hirata, and it is very effective.
Hirata is very popular, and when he said these words to share the responsibility, no one objected.
Everyone also took back the gazes they had placed on him, Hikigaya Hachiman.
However, at this time, what Hachiman thought was, if Horikita stood up.
Then can it achieve the effect so quickly?
First of all, she doesn't have much popularity, except for being overly beautiful and having a cold temperament.
Apart from Kushida deliberately licking her, she is not popular.
So it is difficult to do what Hirata did, and have the students in the Class hesitate and agree as soon as he speaks.
...
"Then next, we will announce the part of the content that the School allows to be made public."
Chabashira-sensei looked at the students who had calmed down, and then continued to announce the information.
"It is the first test that every freshman faces after entering School."
"The assessment period is one month."
"One Class is a unit, and the basic points of all Classes are 1000 points, and then any non-standard behavior will be deducted from these 1000 points."
"The specific items are that students are not allowed to be late, leave early, play with mobile phones, read novels in Class, sleep in Class, etc. every day..."
"After School, you must not litter or damage the environment..."
"Fighting is a serious crime."
"Code of Conduct—"
"..."
Everyone was confused by this code of conduct-like thing.
But someone finally understood.
"Wait a minute!"
A girl spoke up.
It was a blonde ponytail girl sitting in the front row.
She is a very cute gyaru.
And this is also the classmate that Hachiman has impressed several times and put on his little notebook.
Kei Karuizawa.
It seems that she has become the leader of the gyaru who have been playing with her these two days.
"Chabashira-sensei, does this mean that from today until the end of this month, we have to abide by these codes of conduct and persist for a month?"
Karuizawa asked.
"Yes, oh."
Chabashira Sae looked back at her and said.
"Normally, you would all take the exam after a month, and then it would be announced.
Now, because of Hikigaya's point deduction, this passive exposure of the score has occurred."
"This is also the first time in the history of this School."
"It's just that you are lucky and can see the changing scores in advance, but the exam has not stopped."
In fact, Chabashira-sensei is also speaking for Hachiman.
At this time, the gazes of the surrounding classmates who had just left because of Hirata's rescue gathered again.
And Little Angel Kushida, who explored the School with Hachiman on the first day of enrollment, also looked over.
Her eyes blinked gently.
It was as if she was saying, "You deliberately broke the camera for the Class, didn't you?"
In other words, had she finally understood that he wasn't a rowdy boy, but rather someone who acted with purpose?
He wanted to expose all the current points to everyone.
But Kushida, even if you blink so cutely now, it's useless.
You didn't help him just now, and that has already made him feel that you are unreliable.
Hachiman thought to himself.
They were informed that there would be a behavior assessment lasting over twenty more days.
"How is that even possible?!"
A boy said, "So we lost over 500 points in 6 days, and there are still over twenty days left this month. We definitely won't have living expenses next month!"
"I don't want that!"
The boy said, "And what they said earlier about direct admission to university and employment rates, it was all a lie!"
"The school deceived us!" the boy said.
"Oh?" Chabashira Sae's slender eyes looked over.
"Then you can choose to withdraw." Chabashira-sensei said.
"And this is also something I need to distribute to you all."
Chabashira Sae took down a stack of documents she had brought to the podium, walked over to the students in the first row, and had them pass them down.
It was similar to passing out test papers.
But.
This was no test paper.
[I, XXX, voluntarily choose to withdraw from Advanced Nurturing High School due to personal reasons.
Signature.]
"…"
Hey, hey, hey, what's going on here?!
Are they just letting people withdraw so casually?
Of course, it was a casual withdrawal, but it was just a show of force.
She had, after all, served as a Teacher for one Class, so for such troublesome students, directly presenting a withdrawal proposal was enough.
"H-How could this be…"
The troublesome student also received the agreement.
But he did not fill in his name.
Because.
Although it was outrageous, the free accommodation, tuition, and living expenses were unmatched by any other school outside.
So, since he wasn't stupid, why would he choose to withdraw?
Chabashira was no longer looking at that student.
"Once a withdrawal application is accepted, it will be submitted to the Student Council. After the Student Council President stamps and confirms it, the applicant must leave the school within 2 hours. If they do not act, then a violent enforcement will be requested."
Chabashira said without mercy.
"Ugh—"
She was so beautiful, a mature older sister.
Yet she spoke such cruel words with a straight face.
Some of the girls had already cowered.
"Um, everyone, it's fate that we all came to this school." Hirata said quickly.
"So please don't just casually suggest withdrawing."
He probably didn't want to see any students in the Class get into trouble or withdraw.
After all, in everyone's eyes, he was like a Little Angel, embracing everyone.
"But now that we know what points to adhere to, if we persevere, we can still pass safely." Hirata said.
"And even if we can't save 400 points, if we can save 300 points, everyone can still get 30,000 points for living expenses next month."
"Eh…" XN
Although Hirata was very popular, this time, unlike before, not everyone agreed with him.
Because.
It was the sixth day of school.
Their Class had only 480 points left out of 1000 Class evaluation points.
On average, they had lost 74 points per day over the previous six days.
And now it was May, so there were 25 days left.
Forget dividing 480 points by 25, even losing just 20 points a day felt very difficult.
"Um, everyone—"
At this moment, Kushida, who had been called out earlier, also joined the fray.
After all.
Although suggesting that everyone adhere to behavioral norms and discipline might lower her popularity at this moment.
But she was the Class's Little Angel, considering everyone, so naturally, she couldn't just say nothing.
So she also joined Hirata's camp, hoping everyone would abide by the rules.
"To upgrade to Class A, or even if it's not possible… then for our living expenses next month, please try your best in the coming days."
"If we can still save 300 points, then with a little saving, 30,000 points next month should barely be enough for living."
Kushida said with her hands clasped together.
But now that the evaluation was related to next month's living expenses, even those without the ambition to upgrade to Class A would start to work hard.
"So it's related to living expenses."
Yes.
It had become intimately related to themselves.
"And if we can't get 300 points, only 200 points… then we'll still have 20,000 points for living expenses. The minimum daily consumption of 600 points in the cafeteria also seems manageable."
Some students also started to waver.
Because if they didn't recognize the school, they would be expelled.
They definitely didn't want to be expelled.
So, they would try hard to get living expenses.
However, the so-called 300 points and 200 points simply did not meet Hachiman's requirements.
To try to challenge Class A, the basic score had to be at least 400 points.
But for this Class of students, even if someone took the lead in enforcing rules, it was hard to say whether they could ultimately retain 200 points.
So, it wasn't enough, still not enough.
If verbal promises alone could accomplish it, then they wouldn't have lost so many points in these few days.
Therefore, Hirata and Kushida's suggestions were still too gentle.
Not enough.
"…" Hachiman.
So Hachiman focused on Horikita Suzune to his left.
Although Horikita had just felt that Hirata had stolen her lines, since Hirata had completed the task of helping Hikigaya Hachiman out of a difficult situation, she didn't need to step in.
But now.
Horikita Suzune frowned.
She was probably surprised by the content of the behavioral requirements.
After all, things like not making small movements in Class, not being late or leaving early, and not touching phones—weren't these the most basic qualities a student should have?
So why were everyone around her looking so serious?
But now.
Hachiman glanced around at the other students.
Some students seemed to have cowered.
Deciding to either comply and give it a try.
However, even more students looked troubled.
And he also didn't think that Hirata and Kushida's gentle approach could guarantee that all students in the Class would comply.
Therefore.
Sure enough.
They needed to be restrained.
And this restraint.
Hachiman looked at Horikita Suzune.
"…" Horikita Suzune.
Horikita Suzune finally noticed his gaze.
Oh?
Was he hoping she would help?
But now.
Yes.
She had to make a move too.
Hikigaya had already exposed the points.
And Hirata and Kushida's so-called friendly persuasion simply couldn't make all these students, who had lost 500 points in six days, act and comply.
So.
"I find it ridiculous that you are afraid of these tests." Horikita Suzune stood up at this moment.
"I am Horikita Suzune. And in these 6 days, I haven't lost a single point. I don't think this is difficult at all. Rather, the fact that you can't do it, or that you're afraid, is quite ridiculous."
"Although this is a test as a Class collective, could you please not drag me down?"
One should say, as expected of Horikita.
With one opening, she offended everyone.
Didn't you see all the students looking at you in surprise?
Only.
"Horikita, what you said is too absolute…"
Karuizawa, who had asked a question earlier, said.
"Not losing a single point herself…" Karuizawa seemed to find it unbelievable.
Because, Horikita Suzune, can you really stay away from your phone and not touch it at all during Class?
Facing Karuizawa's questioning.
"If it's just the rules listed by Teacher Chabashira, I've followed them all." Horikita Suzune said calmly.
"I can confirm that I haven't lost a single point, but as for you all... to lose so many points in just a few days, your performance is truly surprising."
These words might have been sincere.
But they were merely a manifestation of her lack of emotional intelligence, yet their destructive power was immense.
"Hey, how can you say that? That's going too far, Horikita!"
"Exactly, Horikita, how can you say such things?"
"I didn't lose many... I didn't lose many points!"
The other students, who had been quiet, suddenly spoke up.
They began to bombard Horikita.
But Horikita Suzune maintained her calm demeanor, her expression unchanged.
She was like a person standing alone in the rain without an umbrella.
This made Hachiman start to ponder.
Actually,
what can unite a group is the appearance of an enemy.
To attack this enemy, even a team that was not united at first will come together.
However, Hachiman did not entrust Horikita with this role.
He entrusted her with assisting in clearing the Class's students' accusations of him losing points.
And for the method of restraining his classmates afterward, he had also made preparations.
But now, with just a few words, Horikita had completely stood on the opposite side of her classmates.
Should he say she was brave, or that she lacked emotional intelligence?
It was undeniable, though, that she hadn't said anything wrong.
The Class was at fault.
Like First Year Class B, without knowing the school's rules at all, after a few days, they still had over 800 points left, which indicates that this is how ordinary students should be.
And not like Class D, who lost several hundred points on the spot.
...
