Hachiman returned to the classroom.
It was already after School, and the students in the Class had left the classroom.
Because they already knew the true nature of this School, and at 7 AM, everyone received 45,000 personal point.
The transfer party was the School.
This meant it was indeed true: the School distributed their monthly living expenses based on their Class evaluation scores.
Indeed, compared to the initial 100,000 point, now less than half remained, but even with these forty thousand-plus point, as long as there were no major expenses, it was enough for a month's living.
So, the students naturally took the money, then threw all self-discipline for the month aside and went to spend it first.
However, one girl was still in the classroom.
Even passersby couldn't help but take an extra look, because she was very beautiful.
Long black hair, reaching her waist, cascaded down her back and shoulders, with a small, white ribbon tied into a bow and a long, thin braid on her right side.
Her waterfall-like black hair carried a faint lily-like fragrance, probably from her shampoo.
Her sitting posture was elegant and graceful.
Long eyelashes, orange, captivating eyes like a fox's, and a delicate face.
However, the cold expression on the girl's face seemed to constantly exude an aura of rejection.
Like an ice beauty, while she could use it to reject many weak people, it instead made others even more interested in her.
And now, she was holding a book and reading.
However, if one looked closely, they would find that her mind was not calm, even a little flustered.
The reason was that although she was reading, Hachiman had watched her for two minutes, and she hadn't turned a page.
Hmm.
Hachiman found that he was also becoming a little more familiar with Horikita.
However, every day was still the same; on days when Sakayanagi Arisu didn't treat him to a meal, he chose to eat bread in the classroom during lunch break, and although Horikita made a bento, she ignored him.
Of course, it wasn't about what he wanted to eat.
He just wanted to experience the joy of sharing food.
And now.
Horikita-san probably wasn't at ease.
"I'm back." Hachiman said.
"The Student Council President didn't say anything important. He just praised our Class."
Speaking of the Class, although their classroom hadn't changed, the Class sign had already become Class C.
They were students of Class C.
At the same time, they were probably the fastest-promoting Class in the School's history, so receiving praise was natural.
"However." Hachiman said. "Class A's Class evaluation score is incredible."
"Their Class has 988 point, which is excessively excellent."
"ā¦" Horikita Suzune.
Over this past month, she knew the situation of her Class.
And don't look at Class Dā¦ oh no, now it's Class C.
Don't look at Class C's distance from the sixth day of School when Hachiman exposed the Class evaluation scores, and the Class only had 480 point left then.
And now, after more than half a month, they still had 450 point, which seemed surprising.
However, she also understood that everyone was striving for their own benefit, and thus were trying hard to hold on.
And today was a new month, there were no more behavior exams, and they immediately reverted to their old ways.
This morning, 22 students started using their phones in Class.
Therefore, compared to the students of Class A, who were self-disciplined and excellent in all aspects, the gap was enormous.
"However, what we need to pay attention to now is that this is a new month." Hachiman said.
"And we need to see what the true nature of this School is."
"In other wordsā¦"
Horikita Suzune murmured.
Yes.
The Advanced Nurturing High School's exclusive monthly special exam officially began.
...
The next day.
All the students arrived in the classroom.
Thump-thump-thumpā
At that moment, the sound of Teacher Chabashira Sae's high heels echoed as she walked in, holding a rolled-up paper like a poster in both hands.
There wasn't much expression on her face.
She looked somewhat serious.
At the same time.
"It's already time for homeroom, why aren't you all back in your seats?" She glanced at the Class, which had become messy again after just one day, and her first words were incredibly fierce.
Noticing this, Hachiman glanced at Horikita.
There was gravity in both their eyes.
Because Teacher Chabashira's expression indicated that the exam this month, which had finally arrived, would put a lot of pressure on this Class.
Indeed, the pressure was immense.
"On the 6th of last month, I told you the true nature of this School."
"And the fact that you could maintain a Class evaluation score of 450 points on the 1st, honestly, even I'm surprised, because based on your past performance, it would be an exaggeration if you hadn't lost all your points within 10 days."
This remark was a bit excessive.
But the students in the Class accepted it calmly.
Because they had already achieved the feat of losing 500 points in 6 days.
So, if they weren't trusted, they had nothing to say.
Moreover.
Most importantly, they had endured this past month, they had endured!
Hachiman noticed that the students' backs seemed to have straightened somewhat.
And Chabashira-sensei also unloaded the Class evaluation scores of the four Classes written on the small blackboard downstairs onto the blackboard.
Then she wrote the evaluation scores of the four Classes on the blackboard.
Grade 1 Class A: 988 points
Grade 1 Class B: 751 points
Grade 1 Class C: 450 points
Grade 1 Class D: 0 point
Among them, Hachiman's Class was already Class C, with 450 points, which was a surprising score for this Class.
Because without intervention, it would probably have been 0 point by the end of last month.
And Teacher Chabashira seemed to say the same.
"Then, on the first day of every month, the School is supposed to deposit living expenses into your accounts, calculated as your Class evaluation score multiplied by 100, and announce the special exam for that month."
"And I specifically gave you one day to buffer."
"Butā¦"
Chabashira Sae continued, "Unfortunately, your beautiful dream is over."
As she spoke, she affixed the paper she had brought to the blackboard, securing it with magnets.
"The special exam, a monthly feature of this School, is about to begin."
"And this month's special exam is a written test."
"However, there's no need to feel it's unfair. This exam is the same for the entire gradeāall written tests."
"And thenā¦"
Chabashira Sae explained why she had entered the room with a stern expression.
She displayed a math test score sheet.
The Class's top students were at the forefront.
And the number of students was acceptable.
The most outstanding was KÅenji Rokusuke with 100 points.
The second was Horikita Suzune with 94 points.
Then came Yukimura Teruhiko with 91 points.
After that were students like Kushida Kikyo with 83 points and Hirata Yosuke with 78 points, achieving upper-middle scores.
Hachiman checked his own score: 60 points.
Average.
However, the scores of some students below him were terrible.
"These are the results of the previous mini-test. Just look at them and you'll see what garbage scores you got. But considering you're all defective products, such scores are not surprising."
"Furthermore."
Chabashira Sae said, turning back to look at everyone with cold, sharp eyes,
"From this point on, anyone who fails the mid-term or final examsā."
"Will be expelled, immediately."
"We'll be expelled if we fail the exam?!" a student exclaimed.
Hachiman looked over.
It was Ike Kanji, who often hung out with Yamauchi and Sudo.
He wasn't very tall and was somewhat thin.
But his face instantly turned ugly, and he even shrieked.
"Just failing a written test? Shouldn't a special exam be some other kind of test?"
And it wasn't just Ike Kanji.
Sudo also cried out.
He had become famous last month during the Sudo fight incident.
And it was proven that he had been framed by Ryuen.
At the same time, he possessed athletic abilities that were like a cheat code, far exceeding those of ordinary people.
However.
Clearly.
His studies were not good.
Although it was somewhat impolite.
However.
As a human observation camera, Hachiman had also identified them.
Ike Kanji, Sudo Ken, and Yamauchi Haruki were the worst group in the Class.
And their scores were also the worst.
Sudo Ken was the most exaggerated, with only 16 points, and Ike Kanji wasn't much better, with 24 points.
As for Yamauchi Haruki, he was slightly better, but still only 27 points!
The passing line is generally calculated as half of the Class's average score.
However.
Judging from the test results Chabashira-sensei displayed.
The Class's average score was 55 points, but even at half of that standard, it was 27 points!
And in Class D, there were a full seven people with scores below 27 points!
In other words, if the standard of expulsion for failing the exam was applied, then all of these people would be expelled!
And for those scoring 30-40 points, not studying properly could easily lead to failure.
It could be said that currently, the students in the Class who are absolutely safeā¦ are fewer than 20.
"It goes without saying that you receive free tuition from the School, and if you work hard, you can even get living expenses, with no upper limit."
"Although the School's advertised university admission and employment rates require you to compete."
"However, as long as you can make it to Class A, you will also receive that treatment."
Chabashira-sensei said.
"And these are the rules for this mid-term exam."
"The exam content consists of five subjects: Physics, Chemistry, Biology, English, and Math."
"The exam dates are the 24th and 25th of this month."
"And if you excel in this exam, you can earn up to 100 Class evaluation points, which translates to an increase of 10,000 living expense points per month."
In other words...
Almost immediately upon hearing this news, Horikita turned to look at Hachiman.
Because when he had previously wanted to accumulate the Class's points from the previous month, he had said something similar, worrying that future scores might not be high, so they needed to accumulate some from the start.
And now, it seemed he was right.
Aside from the School's generosity in the first month of enrollment, the special exam scores for other months would not be too high.
And now, this month's mid-term exam only offered a value of 100 Class evaluation points.
"Then, sensei, what is the composition of 100 points? Or rather, how can we get a perfect score of 100 points?" Horikita Suzune suddenly asked.
"Hey, Horikita." The others looked at Horikita.
In the previous Sudo incident, Horikita played an important role.
According to Hikigaya, Horikita was a witness in the Sudo fight incident, but the reason she didn't come forward directly to testify was that Ryuen Class was too excessive, and she worried Ryuen might target their Class's students again, so she dragged it out until the trial.
As a result, Ryuen Class had 400 points deducted, and they also dropped.
Everyone inexplicably became students of Class C.
But it had to be said, while they used to think Horikita was aloof, now, she had gained a certain level of popularity.
But for some struggling students, wasn't this the time to think about how to avoid failing?
Why were they still concerned about points?
"If no one fails the exam, and the average score for each subject is above 80, then you can receive a full 100 Class evaluation points as a reward."
"If no one fails the exam, and the average score for each subject is between 50 and 80 points, then you can receive 70 Class evaluation points."
"And if no one fails the exam, and the average score for each subject is below 50 points, then you will receive 30 Class evaluation points."
"However, if anyone fails the exam and is expelled, then no points will be awarded for this exam." Chabashira-sensei answered Horikita Suzune.
"Ehā¦ So if we fail, we get no points at all?" a student quickly interjected.
Hachiman looked over.
It was a cute girl with a beautiful golden ponytail.
It was Karuizawa again.
Speaking of which, Karuizawa really likes to interject in conversations.
So, is she also very eager to show off?
However, in his understanding, people who like to show off are often lacking in some aspects, so, was Karuizawa perhapsā¦
Of course, there are also those who simply like to show off, like Yamauchi.
It's just that Yamauchi's grades are probably terrible, and he's currently anxious and quiet.
"Regarding this, Class B students will support us."
"They have many students with good academic records, and they will hold study sessions for us."
Hirata then checked his phone, and after asking Chabashira-sensei for permission and receiving it, he stood up and said.
In other words, there will be someone to guide their studies.
That made them feel a little more at ease.
ā¦
Chabashira-sensei merely announced the exam subjects and the point acquisition conditions, which indeed shattered everyone's beautiful dreams.
After all, a large number of students in this Class were not good at studying.
And according to the three tiers of 100 points acquisition mentioned by Chabashira-sensei, even if all students in the Class passed after the study sessions.
The average exam score would certainly not be good.
So, they might only be able to get the lowest tier of 30 Class evaluation points at most.
But there was nothing they could do about it.
The Class's foundation was poor.
Then it was lunchtime.
"Even though the mid-term exam was announced this morning, the students went directly to happily eat, and even wanted to eat well, completely ignoring the exam. They're truly carefree." Horikita Suzune said.
"You'll get used to it."
Hachiman felt like he had heard this from Horikita Manabu, and it turned out his sister was also part of the family.
However, Horikita Manabu was talking about Class D, Ryuen Class.
And now Horikita-san was talking about Class C, their current Class.
But don't forget, Hachiman only wanted to arrange for his Class to try to get close to Class A once, not directly promote to Class A.
In other words, he didn't think the students in his Class could maintain or endure the position of Class A.
Moreover.
According to the information obtained from Chabashira-sensei, and the School's arrangements for upper and lower Classes, lower Classes that moved up would also be manipulated by the School to fall back down.
So, one attempt was enough.
Otherwise, if Yamauchi really graduated representing Class A and entered society, the School would be thoroughly embarrassed.
"But what are you thinking about?"
Horikita noticed Hachiman, after finishing his rice ball, resting his hands on the table and appearing to be deep in thought.
"It's still about the Class evaluation scores of the four Classes this time."
"Aside from Class A being excessively excellent, Class D has 0 points." Hachiman said.
"Class D, isn't that Ryuen Class?"
Horikita Suzune said, "After making false accusations, their Class only had 110 points left, and after a month, it's now 0. Isn't that unreasonable?"
"ā¦" Hachiman.
Even though she was Horikita Manabu's sister, Horikita-san completely failed to meet his expectations.
"It's the change in this score." Hachiman said.
He wrote a few numbers on his notebook.
