On the other side, the Rooftop of the teaching building.
There were two benches here, one of which was shaded, and Hachiman remembered that Sakayanagi Arisu had sat there before.
However, Hachiman wasn't here to sit on the bench Sakayanagi had sat on.
There were three people present.
He, Hikigaya Hachiman, Teacher Chabashira Sae, and then the black-haired, fox-eyed girl with her left hand resting on her right elbow, standing on the Rooftop, looking down at the crowd by the bulletin board.
Horikita Suzune.
The three who wanted to climb to Class A met here.
Teacher Chabashira watched from above with her arms crossed.
The Student Council members had already left.
"What an incredible operation," Chabashira Sae commented.
"Because a punishment requiring Student Council intervention was triggered, the scores that were originally to be announced next month were revealed now."
"There's nothing that can be done about it," Hachiman said, spreading his hands. "If they didn't intervene now, then according to normal procedures, on the 1st of next month, our Class's Class evaluation score would probably be deducted to 0, and that's without even considering negative scores."
"..." x2
This casual mention caused both girls present to fall silent.
As the Teacher, Chabashira Sae could check the daily deductions for the Class.
Horikita Suzune was probably the only one in the Class who hadn't been penalized. Although she couldn't confirm the specific items or the deducted point values, she had no hope for the students in this Class.
Initially, all four classes started with 1000 points, which could barely be considered the same starting point.
But if 1000 points turned directly into 0 within a month,
Forget about getting into Class A; they probably wouldn't even be able to surpass Class C.
"So what are you planning to do next?" Teacher Chabashira glanced at Horikita, then looked at Hachiman and said, "I cannot provide you with anything beyond the scope of my authority."
So, within the permissible scope, you'll fully cooperate, right?
Hachiman thought to himself.
"On one hand, I'll report the progress of the task to you, letting you know that I'm properly fulfilling the agreement," Hachiman said.
"Then you are truly well-behaved," Chabashira seemed to praise him.
But no, Teacher Chabashira.
Hachiman chose to bring Horikita along so that Horikita could confirm that you are truly on the side of Class promotion.
And after confirming this common goal, Horikita would probably be more willing to work hard and assist him.
Hachiman didn't believe he was strong enough to do everything alone, so if he had assistance, it would greatly facilitate things and increase the success rate.
"What about the second aspect?" Chabashira asked.
"It's probably waiting for you to receive a notification from the School," Hachiman said. "My actions have exposed the evaluation points of the four classes ahead of time, so the School will definitely take measures."
"And the measures taken could be to end the first month's special exam for the new students early. Then Class D would securely hold onto these 480 points. This is the most desired outcome."
"Of course, the School might also continue the assessment. And that's very annoying. If it's the latter, and the exam continues, then some arrangements need to be made."
Saying this, Hachiman paused.
"After all, this exam puts too much pressure on our Class."
Uh.
Indeed.
On this point, all three had no objections.
Because if they did nothing, the students of Class D would deduct all their points themselves.
It's too cruel.
And from the start, they were nearly a thousand points behind Class A, who already knew the exam rules.
How could they catch up?
So, they had to build up their base points.
If the School ended this behavior assessment early, this goal could be achieved.
"Logically, the current exposed disparity between the four classes is roughly at the usual level for previous years."
"Class A and Class B are more than a hundred points apart, while Class C and Class D are three or four hundred points behind the upper classes."
And the real-time scores revealed by Horikita Manabu were:
Grade 1 Class A: 996 points
Grade 1 First Year Class B: 834 points
Grade 1 Class C: 611 points
Grade 1 Class D: 480 points
The distance between them roughly conformed to previous years' situations.
"But," Chabashira added, "this year's Class A is too outstanding."
Yes.
Only 4 points deducted in 6 days, what kind of monsters are they?
But everyone also knew that Chabashira had something else she hadn't said.
That is, Class D was too far behind compared to the past.
Because,
It was the sixth day of enrollment, and Class D only had 480 points left. So if they did nothing, this year's Class D would get 0 points for the first month.
Both Hachiman and Horikita Suzune were watching Teacher Chabashira.
Chabashira suddenly felt the pressure herself.
"Beep!" Just then, Chabashira looked at her phone.
Her brow furrowed slightly.
"A message from the School has arrived," Chabashira said.
"An instruction has been issued for the teachers of the four Grade 1 classes to inform students of the School's rules, but this month's behavior assessment will continue."
Saying this, Chabashira looked at Hachiman and Horikita.
"Unfortunately, our wish has fallen through."
"The School is not satisfied with the current exposed point situation. Instead, it has decided to continue the first month's behavior assessment to the end."
"In other words, although your actions exposed the Class evaluation points ahead of time, the School is merely treating this as an unexpected situation to deal with."
Chabashira said.
"And the impression of Class D is extremely poor."
Indeed.
The students of Class D had points deducted by the Student Council for damaging a camera.
It was the Student Council's responsibility to deduct points, so they announced the results.
Literally, the School wouldn't consider whether the student did it on purpose, whether they had already discovered the true nature of the School, and then deliberately did such a thing.
"So, is there any other information?" Hachiman asked.
"Yes," Chabashira said. "The behavior assessment exam has also been allowed to be announced."
"The School allows teachers to list the assessment items."
"But it will not list the specific point values for deductions."
Oh.
I see.
Then it can only be said that the plan was a minor miscarriage.
Because Hachiman hadn't expected the School to do any charity, the School's choice to continue the assessment was within expectations.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have specifically asked Kushida to spread rumors.
The purpose was for the rumors to spread and then be confirmed that this School was so strict, which would force the students to self-regulate for their own sake.
It's just that...
This School is quite interesting, too.
Very humane.
The School might not want to end an assessment that was originally supposed to take a month, now.
But it did announce the content of the assessment.
In other words, although it was an unexpected situation, I'll deal with it unexpectedly, and I've given you an open-book exam, so can you do it?
Therefore, Hachiman felt that the Chairman of this School must be someone who truly wants to engage in education.
