"First. This time exam will be very dangerous, bottom five groups will be expelled, and last three will have to pay a premium. I have decided to let your class take on this responsibility. Of course, we are not going to have so many people drop out. Instead, we are going to select five students as the bottom five, which is equivalent to each person being in a separate group..."
"But in this case, we will have to pay 6 million points, or drop out of school..." Although, Nanase didn't care much but she frowned too.
"About this. I checked your first-year item cards. There is one invalid card and two half cards. That means we can provide up to three groups of three people with a reduced or exempted punishment. But none of these three cards are in your class. Do you think you can pass this exam safely?"
Can pass this exam safely? You have to know it's Class D, and still got inexperienced newbies.
So, although Hosen said he wanted to be in top three, some people already thought that last place would be with them.
"But it's really too much for Hikigaya-senpai to just want to use 4 million points and let our class suffer the pain of expulsion!" Even Nanase herself felt like she was being robbed.
"It's not that you only need 4 million points, but if I don't give them to you, not only will you be short of money, but you will also have to face your classmates. After all, you can't borrow that many points."
Watching the surroundings become extremely quiet, Hachiman continued to insult these people.
"The last five groups will be placed in your class, and I will be responsible for paying for the Half and Invalid cards. That is to say, exam will not cost you a penny. And each of you will be guaranteed 100,000 points. This means you will be fully responsible for yourself. At the same time, you can also choose whether to drop out of school."
"• ? •" Nanase felt like something was very wrong here.
"Let us choose whether to drop out of school?" At this time a voice sounded.
It was Issei, who had once argued with Hosen.
He has good academic ability.
He didn't think being assigned to Class D was a good thing, especially since... only those with highest class evaluation score could be assigned to Class A, and then finally live up to the school's propaganda.
Then wouldn't lower classes just go through school once?
There is no hope.
His learning ability is not bad and his academic is at level B, so even if he drops out of school, can still get into the university of his choice through studying.
Instead of worrying here. And there was violent attack by Hosen.
So, actually he had thought about whether he should drop out of school since he had just started and the school outside too.
Now that Hikigaya-senpai had brought it up, he was actually a little tempted.
"That's right. If you are the last five to drop out, I can pay for you to not drop out. But, you can also choose to accept the punishment of expulsion, and I can give you an additional 2 million in cash. That is, people who drop out can just take the money and leave the school." Hachiman's poison is now rapidly spreading into NPC's hearts.
Drop out and get money to leave school? I have never heard of such a thing.
Because how can you study for free, have no living expenses, and get paid directly?
The first-year students around immediately started talking.
But, Hosen didn't say anything.
Anyway, he lost 20 million yen by selling the opportunity to join Class D.
However, he couldn't resist because Hikigaya Hachiman was Vice president and his girlfriend had the authority to expel a person.
Besides, Ayanokoji still has evidence that he attacked him. So, Hosen decided to keep quiet for now.
However, he would definitely not choose to drop out of school and take 2 million as Hikigaya suggested.
If he wanted to take something, he would take 20 million!
Maybe he felt this class was really hopeless, so he might as well take some money to go to college.
With this money, parents won't blame him.
The five spots for those willing to form their own solo teams at bottom have been confirmed.
If everyone chooses to take the money, there is no need to collect invalid cards and halved cards from other classes.
Hachiman giddily signed a contract with them.
If they drop out of this exam, Hikigaya Hachiman will pay them 2 million in cash.
There was also a note that all the personal points they had when they dropped out could be converted into cash at a rate of 0.8.
This also attracted the attention of some students.
Because this is a direct exchange of points for money, although it can be spent as money in school.
But there are also people who want to endure some hardship first and then exchange 100,000 points on the point card for cash.
After all, this is real money.
It's really reassuring to hold it.
"…." Watching all this, Nanase Tsubasa felt this was definitely not a good thing, especially for Class D.
The five students who just signed a contract with Hikigaya-senpai and chose to drop out of school are all students with good academic abilities.
So, Class D suddenly lost half of its students with good academic power.
Suffered a direct injury.
"Nanase, let's form a team for this exam," But at this time, Hosen invited her, "You always talk shit about you being strong enough to beat me, right? Besides, Utomiya has already said yes."
Utomiya is a student in Class C of first grade.
The Hosen Society received the task of rewarding 20 million yen to expel Ayanokoji, and it was not a one-man task.
He checked and found that every first grade had one. So this is a special task for their own.
Utomiya, a student from Class C of the first grade, also accepted this task.
So now, Hosen probably wants to take advantage of the 14-day uninhabited island exam to take action against Ayanokoji-senpai.
He did not give up the 20 million mission.
Nanase herself...is she going to give up this mission? 'No....Compared to the class, I also have... things that I must do and have to do....'
In this way, operation of Grade 1 Class D was quickly completed.
Although people are classmates, someone has already taken the place at the bottom for dropping out, so it is safe for others.
However, Hikigaya-senpai asked them to hand over all prop cards issued by the school to him.
Since he could not collect prop cards from different grades, he temporarily kept them with the five students who were about to drop out.
Looks like they took their prop card. But a solution was also given. Let them collect Hitchhiking and the Additional prop cards.
The cost of each card can be as high as 100,000 to 150,000 points, but commission given to them is 50,000 points each.
This means it is an opportunity to make money.
You should know that in first grade, there are 30 people who have additional cards, and 38 people who got Hitchhiking.
So if you can get them all, commission will be very substantial.
Even if one cannot get that much, at least one ticket will be enough for the living expenses for next month.
At the same time, Hikigaya-senpai also said that he would not take away the 70% and 50% rewards they obtained from school rankings during the exam.
This means that Hosen's group has survived this exam.
At the same time, they will not be expelled, and will be guaranteed to earn more than 100,000 yen for living expenses.
So, Grade 1 Class D full of NPC's suddenly became excited.
The five students who chose to drop out were not idle either.
Senior Hikigaya asked them to keep the Hitchhiking Card, Lead Card, and Additional Card, and to exchange other item cards with classes as capital.
And if they exchange for a Hitchhiking or additional card, they can also get 50,000 points.
That is to say, have one more choice than their classmates.
Because some people don't want to sell their cards, but they can still choose to change their cards.

After announcement, Hachiman left the gymnasium.
The students from Grade 1 Class D also jumped out.
Hikigaya-senpai didn't say when he would collect the point cards, so it's okay to do it now!
At least, it would be easier and cheaper to collect the cards while others are still confused.
Hosen also left the gymnasium, but when he walked into a small path, he suddenly found someone in front of him.
There are 3 people.
Leading the group was a man with Magenta hair parted in middle.
Behind him was a dark-skinned man about 2 meters tall wearing sunglasses, and another boy who also looked like a good fighter.
"Ryuen!" Hosen recognized the other person.
"Oye, Hosen, how does it feel to have the whole class taken away?"
"• ! •" Hosen. 'I thought Ryuen was just passing by, but now I am sure that he came here on purpose to make fun of me....' "Are you looking for death, Ryuen? I told you I would kill you!"
"So you want to drop out of school now? What a bitch!"
"• ? ×" Hosen. "Stupid Ryuen!"
He also saw Ryuen, the bitch, standing under the camera.
It's probably because he was standing under the camera that Ryuen was so arrogant, "What are you doing here?"
"Kuku....Of course I'm here to taunt you. I've fought against Hikigaya Hachiman several times, but I never lost as badly as you did. And you are going to find representatives from other classes now, right? You need to invite them out. And then collect protection money, because students in your class will guarantee the last five groups. It's so tragic. A business worth 20 million was lost just like that!"
Kuku....
"• •" Hosen stared at Ryuen for several times in a row.
He decided this time, 14-day island exam would not only target Ayanokoji and make him drop out of school, but he would also find a chance to beat Ryuen up.
There are a lot of cameras in the school, but there are no such on uninhabited island that can accommodate all students in the school!
Thinking of this, Hosen left with a blank expression.
He really had something to do now, he had to go collect the protection money from first-year students.
Hikigaya offered him 200,000 yen as a reward, so there was no need for him to refuse the money.
"Ryuen-san, Hosen seems very angry....."
"If I don't provoke him, he won't let me go, but this will allow him to explode on the island, and I am going to take advantage. For this exam, our class can just cooperate with Hikigaya. But there are still plenty of vacancies."
There are still a lot of them, which means he can go find Hosen to fight with the group.
'Ryuen-san is still a mastermind criminal....' Ishizaki nodded, "But our time is almost up now."
"Let's go, then."
Because now he also has to represent 2nd grade to ask Class ABC for protection money.
Since first-year class D has been sacrificed, natural thing is to maximize the benefits.
Hosen can collect protection fees from first-year students, so he can certainly use this as an excuse to collect from his own grade.
Ryuen is working very hard.
Because, he gets 20% of all the profits Hikigaya makes from this exam! So this can be considered as working for yourself!
Since all the things that needed to be done had been arranged, Hachiman suddenly had some free time.
The next morning, Hachiman came to the classroom and found that his classmates were busy.
They all held their phones and started contacting people they knew or who had leverage over other party.
There's probably nothing that can be done about it.
As soon as prop card came out, both he and Ryuen saw the flash of money.
There aren't many opportunities to get a large amount of points directly.
You have to seize and make good use of one's you have.
The reward for first place in the group score seems to be only a meager 1 million personal points, followed by an apparently decent 400 points in class evaluation.
But once the prop card comes out, you can take action.
Take class evaluation score for example, if a single-person team wins first place and then adds a trial card, 400X1.5= 600 points.
It can bring a difference of 600 points.
The bottom 3 groups need to pay class evaluation scores to top three groups, so if you are unlucky enough to be in a hostile class among the bottom three groups, gap can be doubled to up to 1,000 points at once.
Losing more than a thousand points in a game would make even the strongest class roll their eyes in defeat.
Even 2nd-year Class A can be crushed in one game.
But Hikigaya-kun is not the arrogant type, and Sakayanagi-san treats him well, so there is no need for him to have such thoughts.
Moreover, Hachiman also thinks that people should not go too far, so he needs to be merciful.
So this time his goal was not CP, but personal points.
After all, CP are all illusions.
Only when points are in your hands and then exchanged for cash can make you feel at ease
