80,030 points.
Sigh... In greed of 20% discount, I blew off 20k points in one go.
Well, at the very least, I wouldn't have to buy simple things for three-four months.
On the way out of the convenience store, I heard the upperclassmen arguing with Sudo. Calling him trash and that since he is a Class D student, he will experience hell soon anyway.
I recorded it, just in case, after downloading a camera app without the stutter sound.
After that, I went to the dorm building, got my room number 711 and key card, and entered my home for the next three years.
It's 3.6m × 3.6m room, with a washroom, kitchen with fridge, stove, basic utensils; wardrobe, study table, chair, bed and basic stuff. Electricity, water, and even gas is free.
That means that cooking food will be cheap. I will just need to buy groceries.
I messaged my room number and list of groceries to Manabu, since I don't want to go down again for shopping.
I opened my school bag, and took out my pajamas. I have two sets of uniform, two sets of clothes for outside and two for inside.
I will have to buy more later.
After changing into pajamas, I laid down on the bed, wondering about what to do from now on.
I should assume that no matter what I do, class points will drop to 0 after this month.
So I need to get a lot of private points for Nvidia stocks and Bitcoin and lifestyle.
Threatening those upperclassmen that I recorded for forking over their points... No. I can threaten their whole class to fork over their points monthly so that those three don't get expelled and they loose all their class points.
If what they revealed actually leads to expulsion. I need to confirm it first, otherwise I will just make a fool of myself AND get a target on my back.
If I am going to be targeted in the future in the future anyway, I would atleast not let them mock my intelligence.
Aside from that, I can sell the information about S-system through Manabu for... let's see... 2 million points per class?
50,000×40= 2 million.
I should try to sell it as soon as possible, otherwise Sakayanagi will figure it out and not buy it.
Class B will definitely buy it.
I am not really sure about class C.
And the chances of Class D buying it is very less. I don't think they will part with their points easily.
Anyway, I am sure that I can atleast earn 2 million points from class B.
*Ding dong!*
The doorbell rang, and it was Manabu. He sure is quick. He also bought the groceries.
"Thanks. Come in."
"Mhm."
After I put the groceries in the fridge, I handed him an orange juice can.
"Suzune, you have changed."
Well, I am not even Suzune.
"Yeah. How's the school?"
"It's good. This school is certainly different from other schools."
"Mhm. So... did you find yourself a girlfriend? That purple haired girl seemed cute."
"I have no interest in romance."
"Right... Anyway, if you told me everything about how this school works, what will be your punishment?"
He looked at me strangely.
"Do you think there is something wrong with this school?"
"Only a retard will think that everything is fine. So..."
"I am not going to tell you anything. If I did, I will be expelled."
"Like, even if not everything, just a little bit—"
"I will be expelled."
Hmm... So that means I can really force the class of those upperclassmen to fork over their points to me.
"Suzune, did something happen to you while I was away from home?"
Though his face isn't showing it, it's obvious that he is worried about such a drastic change in his sister.
What would he feel if he got to know that someone else is in her body?
I looked away from his gaze, drank the juice, and changed the subject.
"So, if I want to buy the information from the school about this S-system, how many points will it cost?"
"Why don't you ask this from your homeroom teacher?"
"She looks like a bitch. I don't want her to know anything."
"B-bitch!? Suzune, where did you learn to disrespect your teachers like that!?"
Suddenly, he got really angry.
If I was Horikita, I would have shrunk back in fear. But I am not her.
"None of your business! Just answer my question."
Manabu backed down, and answered me.
"One of the requirement is 800,000 per class."
Just that much?
Oh. So it will probably also cost 200 class points too.
"So the other requirement should be, something that is for the whole class. Like, Class Points? And why would they be important, if not for something as anime-y as class battles?"
On the phone, the balance is written as Pr. Pt. Meaning, Private Points. That's a clue given by the school.
"I won't accept or deny anything."
Though Manabu said that, he did seem proud of his sister's deduction. This calmed down his anger about calling a teacher bitch.
"Say, if I want to send a message to the top student of class 1-A, 1-B, 1-C and 1-D through you, without exposing my identity; and collect the points for me for that message, how much will it cost?"
"I am the Student Council President. I can't send false information."
"What if the information isn't false?"
"...Then, 500,000 points."
"That's so expensive!"
"It isn't bargainable."
"Then, lend me 500,000 points."
"No."
"Then I guess I will ask that blonde guy to lend me those points. Come to think of it, I want a high school romance. He seems handsome, and he is on Student Council—"
Manabu instantly sent me 500,000 points.
I couldn't help but smirk a little.
"So, that blonde guy is a scum huh?"
"Suzune, it's best if you stay away from him. He is a playboy."
Manabu really cares about his sister in his own way huh?
At that thought, I couldn't help but become depressed.
I stole his sister from him.
...I shook off these depressing thoughts and started typing on my phone.
[Due to suspicious attitude towards the school by the freshmen, it is possible for the suspicions to be cleared by buying information about how this school works that hasn't been explained yet by the teachers from Horikita Manabu by each class.]
[It is optional, not compulsory.]
[The price of the information is 2 million points per class.]
I forwarded these messages to him.
"Send it to the top student in all four class, and if a class pays you the 2 million points, then send it this message."
[1. Class Points: These are assigned to each class and determine their ranking and private points received each month.
2. 1 Class Point gives 100 private points to each student of a class.
3. Upon enrollment, each class is assigned 1000 Class Points.
4. School will judge if Class Points should be decreased due to various reasons, like misconduct inside and outside the class, expulsion, or exams that school will take regularly.
5. Class Points can also be increased with the exams that the school will take regularly.
6. Placement in a class is not only determined by written exam marks, but behaviour, past incidents, physical abilities, and other factors determined by the school.
7. The benefits of 100% employment and admission to higher studies promised by the school only apply to the class A at the time of graduation.]
"So, will this require only 500,000 points because it is true, or a lot more because it is false information?"
This way, I am basically confirming it whether my 'deduction' is true or not.
Manabu smirked, "500,000 will do. Suzune, what happened in the two years that I didn't see you?"
"Nothing."
Manabu wrote the contract, and both of us signed it.
"Hey, this won't cause you any trouble, will it?"
I still asked, though I don't really care much whether he gets in trouble or not.
"Technically, I am not doing anything wrong. I am just doing what a Student Council President is expected to do if a student asks him.
Though if someone accuses me of misusing my position, you might be questioned about how you deduced this much on the first day of the school."
"Eh, that's fine. I have a recording of it. I just confirmed my suspicions with questions you didn't answer."
The only point that might cause trouble is the seventh point: 'The benefits of 100% employment and admission to higher studies promised by the school only apply to the class A at the time of graduation.'
Thankfully, the words on the school brochure about the 100% benefit actually said 'To the elite students of our elite school'. An intentionally vague statement to save themselves from getting sued.
So I have proper arguments to protect myself.
"I will send my classmate Ayanokoji Kiyotaka to your office tomorrow after school. Meet him in private, beat him up a little for staring at my chest, and send the message while he is in the office with you."
"Alright."
Manabu accepted this without hesitation.
I sent him the 500,000 points I lended from him, and said, "I will return it later."
"Alright. Then I will get this contract approved."
Manabu got up, and started leaving.
And as he reached the gate, I couldn't help but blurt out the truth.
"Actually, I am not Horikita Suzune! I am from another world, and after getting hit by Truck-kun, I transmigrated as her!"
