Students in Grade 2 Class D are very busy.
They didn't have much energy to concentrate on lectures in the morning, but was busy after school.
Before lunch break, statistics were compiled and it turned out that Class D of Grade 1 had obtained 10 Hitchhiking and 6 additional item cards.
This is reputation of Class 1-D because of Hosen's attitude.
However, Class 2-A was more ruthless and directly cheated all Additional and Hitchhiking cards of Class A of first grade.
Just like their class representatives, who look elegant and cute, but show no mercy when they take action.
For students Class 1-A.
Because the big sister/boss wants it, can you not give it to her? If you don't give it to her, there will be ambiguity and you will become enemies with her.
It's just that newbies of Class 1-A are not able to put up a strong resistance yet.
They were cleaned out quickly and efficiently.
For second grade, there are only 25 Hitchhiking cards in total, but 30 additional cards.
Compared with first grade, the number of corresponding prop cards is not large, and things are valuable because they are rare.
It's quite difficult to get started.
Students in Ichinose's class began to think and deliberate.
However, Ryuen is an expert at capturing people's hearts.
If Ichinose's class does not prepare enough points in next class voting to withdraw from school, everyone in the class will be expelled.
This is strength and weakness of Ichinose's class.
The advantage is they are very united, but weakness unity comes at a huge cost.
So, Ryuen deliberately posed the danger and raised the price.
Several cards have already been sold at 150,000 points each.
Same....
The prop cards of Ryuen's class were also collected, leaving only the necessary prop cards, and rest could be exchanged with other classes.
Because Hachiman wanted points, and so did Ryuen, so he immediately arranged for students to collect corresponding item cards.
It can be said that as long as they have enough prop cards, will win exam.
Their goal is to get Hitchhiking card, which allows them to bet on a group before exam begins, and then get half of the private points obtained by the bet group after the exam.
If you are unable to correctly judge the strength of a group, this kind of prop card is useless.
Normally, you can only get a few tens of thousands of points in return.
However, it is different if you are betting on the group that is sure to win first place.
Because reward for first place is 1 million personal points + 400 class evaluation points.
Then, by using a hitchhiking card, you can take away 500,000 personal points.
Of course, this is cleanest case with nothing superimposed.
You can imagine what a grand spectacle it would be if all the prop cards that can be added were stacked together.
During the lunch break at noon, Hachiman received two transfers.
One of them was 5.8 million private points sent by Hosen.
It was supposed to be 6 million.
But Hachiman gave Hosen 200,000 points as a reward.
'Hosen, you should give me the money first, and then I will provide you reward, instead of you deducting it in advance, okay?!' Hachiman made a small note in his mind.
The other amount is also 6 million.
It was a transfer from Ryuen. This is a well-deserved point.
Because all grades and classes are required to participate in this exam, no class can stay out.
Therefore, no matter how high the probability is, all classes may trigger the situation of falling into bottom five and facing expulsion or deduction of class evaluation scores.
Therefore, this protection fee for sacrificing first-year Class D was collected under a grand name.
It was value they deserved for self-sacrifice.
But asking other classes for money is, after all, collecting protection. This kind of thing is not glorious.
So Hachiman is still quite careful about his reputation and lets someone who looks suitable for doing this kind of thing do it.
"Your income this time is not small," A girl's voice came from other side of the table.
This is Sakayanagi, who is treating us.
Because distance between them was not very far, girl could see money rolling into his account with her big eyes.
"It's just a small amount. Also, 1st-year D Class Lead card as well as the material points that five students who are confirmed to drop out may get before the exam, will be transferred directly to you at that time. But for things like this, it's best if you arrange for someone to receive them....."
"....." Sakayanagi took a while to nod her head, realising Hikigaya-kun's appetite has increased, and he will buy a more expensive lunch next time from her purse, "I will arrange for Hashimoto-kun and the others to meet them later....."
I don't know if it's an illusion, but Hachiman feels that Sakayanagi seems a little dignified today.
When Hachiman came, she had her knees closed and her hands on her legs.
Quite elegant.
"Come to think of it, Ryuen asked your class to collect protection money and you agreed so easily....." So, Hachiman decided to give her a little poke to see her reaction.
Since Ryuen was able to transfer 6 million, it means that except for Class D in second grade where he was, all other classes money has been received.
2 million per class.
"After all, safety of my class is not 100% for this exam. If someone is willing to take all the risks, then I think mere 2 million is worth it." It seems that Sakayanagi has also considered the risk of accidentally falling into bottom three groups.
Although, risk is small.
But it cannot be said there is no possibility, and now scores of the three classes, A, B, and C, are very close.
She herself feels that it does not matter whether she is in Class A or not, but other students do not think so.
So, better keep the position in Class A for now.
At same time, she received news that 2nd-year B and C had joined forces.
'Although I think Ichinose-san made a bad move by teaming up with Class C, and the strongest fighter of opposing class ran away, the only one left is Sudo-kun, but his physical fitness does not represent everything. But Ichinose-san still has to arrange for students in her class to deal with the rotten winter melons in Class C. Therefore, she will also be dragged down, couldn't even do what my people did, where they could slack off while selling supplies, and yet whole class could go out when something happened.....'
"Well, I'll leave early today," Today he wasn't going to order dessert either.
"....." Sakayanagi realised something was very wrong today with Hikigaya-kun's behaviour, "Are you going to meet the third graders?"
"Yeah. After all, 3rd grade fee has not been paid yet....."
"...Oh, so that's where you will get the dessert. You really are a busy man!" Sakayanagi praised him a little angrily, filling unnecessary air in her cheeks.
Then, her clear eyes quietly watched as Hikigaya-kun left.
"….." Kamuro-san has actually been in corner whole time, but neither of them paid attention to her.
Now that Hikigaya has left, she can come out too.
"Hikigaya has gone far away...."
"Yeah...." Sakayanagi's voice was a little sad, and kept looking in the direction of his disappeared figure.
"..." Kamuro-san. "You are in such a bad state. It's like falling in love. Do you like him so much? You were so excited just by holding his hand yesterday."
"You don't understand, Kamuro-san!"
"…"
'Don't I understand? In fact, I know quite a lot. For example.....'
"Sakayanagi."
Kamuro-san thinks that it is not a good thing, Sakayanagi Arisu falls in love with Hikigaya Hachiman.
Because that boring guy Hashimoto would sometimes deliberately report some information, and she couldn't help but know it.
For example, during forest training exam, when boys were taking a shower together, something happened in the news.
Hikigaya Hachiman's male... well, his male features are very majestic, much stronger than those of ordinary people.
But, Sakayanagi Arisu looks weak and sickly.
"What do you want to say?" She replied and looked towards Kamuro-san in a blurry daze.
"I want to say..."
'I want to say Hikigaya is 22cm. Then it's not suitable for you. Words like this... words like this...'
"Nothing...." Although, Kamuro-san feels that Sakayanagi might die by then. 'But if you ask me to say this directly, I will also blush as I am a girl....'
xxxxx
Because there were classes in the afternoon, Hachiman and 3rd-year students also met in cafeteria on the third floor, which was less than 30 meters away from Sakayanagi's private room.
But you need to walk through a winding corridor.
Of course, you can also walk the shortest distance between 2 points.
However, when Hachiman took a shortcut through the hall, he saw shadow of a familiar face.
Black straight hair and beautiful face.
The other person was sitting alone at dining table in the hall, "Eating alone?"
Although girl was sitting alone and seat opposite was empty, he would not be impolite to sit directly opposite, "I'm not in a good mood. I feel oppressed."
"Can I sit down opposite you?" Hachiman felt that he could sit down.
"....." Yukino. "Please do as you please." Her sister forced her to enter this school. 'I also think I still have some shortcomings. Besides, Hikigaya Hachiman has my...social death material. At the same time, it cannot be denied that he is Vice-president of student council.'
Still a senior. So, there must be something she can learn from you.
"Sakayanagi must have recruited you into the student council."
"...." Yukino felt this person probably didn't have much experience chatting with others.
Because once these words were spoken, topic was immediately blocked.
But she still told other party about her experience. 'Anyway, the most humiliating and socially fatal scenario is already under control of him, and it is impossible to be sure when Hikigaya-senpai will use it.....'
Yukino was called to student council president's office yesterday.
Then she was entrusted with an important task and was invited to join the student council.
Because girl knew essence of this school, she knew that council was pinnacle of the students.
Yukino also has an unclear but ambitious goal in her heart.
That is, since her sister asked her to come to this school and even let her repeat a year, it means that she must improve herself.
'If I could become Student council president and graduate with Class A, I could meet my sister's expectations and gain her recognition....'
So, joining is a good thing.
Because many elections are not open to just anyone, it requires qualifications and experience.
Although Yukino has never joined the office, she knows some of the steps and arrangements.
Especially for this unique school's student council, it would be beneficial to enter early.
Moreover, once you join, you can come into contact with President Sakayanagi, the strongest person you will come into contact with as a student of this school.
Then you can gain experience from the other party...for example.
That was the idea Yukino had, she accepted the position.
"So for this exam, can you give me the right to use your class's Hitchhiking and additional prop cards?"
"???" Yukino.
"This is a deal." Sakayanagi of course robbed her a lot, and even gave her a cute smile in response, as if nothing was wrong.
'I thought I was being promoted, but the result was extremely drastic....'
So, as representative of the first-year Class A, although Yukinoshita didn't want to agree, after informing her classmates, but those people voted to follow Sakayanagi-senpai's arrangement.
After all, judging from current situation, although they are in Class A, it is not stable.
If you fall off so early, you will lose a lot.
Therefore, it is better to continue to cooperate with Class A of Grade 2 and get through this exam safely.
At same time, some people also joined the Student Council.
Undoubtedly, NPC's voice matters a lot in this class, and choice was made for her to follow.
But Hachiman discovered that Yukinoshita was not in a good mood.
'It was obvious their class made the right choice and were benefits in it. But she was not happy. This is quite obvious. Because this world is never right or gentle....'
"I see," Hachiman thought for a moment and came up with an explanation. So he said, "President Sakayanagi also strongly nominated me to join the student council."
"• ? •" Yukino looked over when she heard this. 'I don't quite understand why Hikigaya-senpai suddenly started talking about his past.....Moreover, he wears green glasses and looks rational and practical. But is he actually someone who compromises so easily?'
"The reason is probably that I was the second candidate for Student council president, but I gave up election at that time. Because I know I won't be selected. So, I got the position of vice president. In the adult world, compromise deals are very common."
I see. Yukino reacted. 'Hikigaya-senpai is teaching me based on his own experience...'
