After Hōkibaru's intervention, Hirata and Kushida began collecting points from Class D students. Hashima insisted that everyone sign a contract prohibiting the resale of the rules.
During the collection, some students were embarrassed, having only 10,000 or nearly 20,000 points, unable to contribute the required 25,000.
Hirata was surprised to see how much students had spent their points in just one week. Several didn't even have 10,000 points.
In about ten minutes, Hirata collected around 700,000 points, most of what the students could give. Yamauchi and Ikemachi, after hesitating, contributed 10,000 points together, claiming it was their maximum.
Though dissatisfied, Hirata couldn't check their phones and had to believe them.
"Hirata, how much is left?" Kushida asked, taking out her phone.
"About 200,000."
Hirata looked at his phone. Students who hadn't yet paid included Kushida, Hōkibaru, and the boy beside her, Ayanokōji Kiyotaka.
"Hōkibaru, how much can you contribute? I'm thinking of giving 50,000 points."
Hirata, as the leader, felt obliged to contribute more.
"Me too, I'll give 50,000 points. It's a bit much, but if it helps the class know the hidden rules, I can tighten my belt later."
Kushida, Class D's angel, smiled softly, making the boys around her melt. They praised her, impressed by her sacrifice for the class.
"How much is left?" Hōkibaru asked, taking out her phone. She had lived simply that week, spending only on meals and basic necessities.
She still had about 90,000 points and was ready to give a large portion.
"152,000 are left. That shouldn't be too difficult for Hōkibaru, right? Otherwise, we can find another solution."
Hirata, looking at his points, seemed hesitant.
"It's not a problem. There's still one person, right?"
Hōkibaru looked at the boy beside her, almost invisible, holding his phone, looking indifferent.
"Hirata, I haven't contributed yet."
Ayanokōji opened his point interface and said calmly, "If 152,000 are left, I can give 80,000. Anyway, I don't have many expenses."
His phone showed a balance similar to Hōkibaru's, about 90,000 points after a week.
"Then, I'll contribute 72,000 points to make up the rest."
Hōkibaru glanced at the boy beside her, surprised he had so many points.
However, she didn't dwell on his lifestyle. Her attention was now entirely on the hidden rules.
Once the points were transferred, Hirata finally reached one million. He approached Hashima, announcing the collection was complete. Hashima could now reveal the rules to the class.
"Not so fast. Everyone must first sign the contract. Hirata, make sure no one resells the rules. It's a necessary precaution."
"Of course, Hashima. I'll handle it personally."
Hashima nodded, satisfied. He wasn't really worried about this additional condition.
The two students he mentioned, Sudō and Kōenji, were unlikely to resell the rules. One was arrogant and disdainful, the other had a volatile temper.
Moreover, Hashima had a backup plan. Class B's plan was to recover all points within the week. They needed to speed up the process. After Class D, they would go to Class C tomorrow.
Once the three million points were recovered, the rest would be easy.
Hashima's initial goal was twofold: recover points and lower the evaluation scores of Classes C and D. What he saw today in Class D satisfied him. With their overall level, their evaluation score would certainly drop this week.
As for Class C, with three students suspended, their ranking would surely change soon. It was promising.
After a while, all Class D students signed the contract. The points were transferred, and there was no turning back.
"Hirata, transfer the points to Honami, our class leader."
Hashima smiled, looking at the pink-haired girl. Honami, as Class B's treasurer, now had over one million points on her phone.
"Huh? Isn't Class B's leader Hashima?"
Hirata was surprised. He thought Hashima, who controlled the situation, was the leader.
"Don't worry. Consider me Honami's assistant."
Honami gave her ID to Hirata, who transferred the points.
"It's done, Hashima."
Seeing her balance increase, Honami smiled radiantly, showing her phone to Hashima.
"Perfect. We're getting closer to our goal."
Hashima looked at the girl, thinking about their plan to collect 20 million points for Class B. Hirata and Kushida, hearing this, thought he was talking about selling the rules to the three classes.
"Yes!"
Honami smiled, standing beside Hashima, forming a perfect couple.
Class D students watched them, curious about their relationship. The couple drew all eyes.
"Since the points are transferred, I'll reveal the school's hidden rules."
Hashima prepared to leave, but Kushida stopped him.
"Hashima, wait. Since everyone is here, could you explain the rules directly?"
"Alright."
Hashima, seeing Honami's expression wanting to leave, added, "It's not complicated. Let's wait a bit longer."
"Okay..."
Honami, though unhappy, agreed. The points were already transferred, so she could wait.
"Very well, I'll start. These rules cost you dearly, so listen carefully."
Hashima cleared his throat and began explaining the rules using the board.
"Let's start with the S system. As the teacher said, private points are the school's currency."
He wrote on the board and looked at Kushida, "The first rule concerns the class evaluation score, directly linked to private points. Kushida, how many points do you have?"
"Me? About 20,000."
"Perfect. Let's use 20,000 as an example."
Hashima wrote 20,000 on the board and explained, "The class evaluation score is reflected in the points distributed each month, at a rate of 1 for 100."
"So, 20,000 points represent 200 evaluation points. Do you understand?"
"So, the free meals and items Hashima mentioned are related to this?" Kushida asked.
"Exactly. Kushida is very perceptive."
Hashima complimented her, seeking to improve their relationship.
"The evaluation score changes every month. Initially, each class has 1,000 points, so you receive 100,000 points the first month."
He smiled, "If the score decreases, the distributed points will also decrease."
"So, if the score drops, we'll receive fewer points?"
