Although they had never met, Hachiman already had some impression of the Chairman of this School.
He felt that the other party was probably quite open-minded.
Previously, Teacher Chabashira tried to trick him into a transaction, so she went to the School to purchase the authority to exchange points for cash in advance, and the School later sent him a message, granting him this authority.
And made some restrictions.
It showed that points were paramount; as long as you had points, you could buy anything.
But it couldn't completely cross the line.
The School had flexibility, but also a bottom line.
And now it was demonstrating this point.
Since the Grade 1 Class evaluation points were forced to be exposed, they directly revealed the exam questions, turning a closed-book exam into an open-book exam.
What's the meaning of doing this?
There is.
On one hand, the currently displayed point values already conform to the likely differences that could emerge between the four classes after enrollment.
But there are still more than twenty days left in this month, so whether they can maintain their advantage or not continue to lose more points becomes important.
So, they can further observe the students' reactions.
Hachiman felt that if he were the Chairman, he would probably adopt such a plan as well.
This could increase the content of the assessment.
However, this idea was too fake.
Hachiman didn't know any Chairman.
And he didn't think he had such a path to advancement; as someone from Class D, earning more money was the priority.
Leading Class D to be promoted to Class A once could earn him 10 million in cash from Teacher Chabashira.
And during this process, if he could acquire other points, he could also try.
"Then I'll leave first," Chabashira Sae said.
Although she had received the text message from the School, she also needed to attend a meeting.
In other words, she needed to coordinate what could be told to the students and what still needed to be kept confidential.
The teachers were also working hard.
...
Watching Teacher Chabashira leave, Hachiman and Horikita also didn't stay.
However,
"The plan remains the same," Hachiman said to Horikita Suzune as they descended from the Rooftop.
"The School has decided to expose the content of the behavior assessment. This saves us trouble; otherwise, we'd have to summarize and fabricate the specific content of the behavior assessment for the students to follow."
"It's best to have an open-book exam now."
"But there's still a problem that needs to be dealt with, or rather, a major problem exclusive to the lower classes," Hachiman said.
"What do you mean?"
"When Teacher Chabashira announces the School's rules, the situation where I caused the Class to lose 50 points for damaging a camera will definitely lead to me being attacked," Hachiman said.
"One way to quickly unite a group is to have a common enemy, but I don't really want to play that role for this Class."
"And then…"
Hachiman paused. "This is where you need to step in, Horikita."
"…" Suzune.
Horikita Suzune finally understood at this moment.
This guy was making her take the blame.
...
Thus.
Lunch break ended.
After the afternoon classes concluded, all the First Years were kept in their Class.
This was because the Teacher had received a temporary notice.
They would be told about the rules of this school.
"In this school, only students who graduate from Class A will achieve a 100% university admission and employment rate. All other Classes must take their own exams. The school uses a Class competition system to cultivate you.
When you enrolled, each Class was given an equal base point of 1000, which will accumulate until graduation."
"And the 1st of each month is when the school distributes living point."
"However, the monthly living point will no longer be 100,000, but will be adjusted based on the evaluation of this base point."
"In other words, according to the Class evaluation points announced now, your Class still has 480 points remaining."
"So, on the 1st of next month, each of you will receive 480x100, which is 48,000 point, as living point."
"However, this value is subject to change; the value on the 1st will be used as the basis for the living point disbursement."
"At the same time, Class rankings are fluid. Whichever Class has the highest evaluation points will be Class A."
"So, if your Class's accumulated evaluation points exceed Class A's after any exam, then you will become the new Class A."
Chabashira Sae, the Teacher of Class D, explained the rules to her students.
...
Meanwhile, in the former Class A.
Majima, the Teacher of Class A, was also explaining the same rules.
However, this was the second time he had explained these rules. On the first day of enrollment, this batch of students had used a large amount of point to buy the school's rules from him, as well as information about the customary behavior assessment for the first month of enrollment.
It was equivalent to buying insider information.
By obtaining information and developing secretly, they would ultimately achieve a higher score than previous Class A's.
They could create a safe gap with the lower Classes.
And now.
First Year Class A 996 points
First Year Class B 834 points
First Year Class C 611 points
First Year Class D 530 points
Their Class A had already pulled away from Class C and Class D.
However, Class B still had 834 points remaining.
It would be so much more reassuring if Class B only had six or seven hundred points left.
Thus.
Katsuragi, who followed a steady path, frowned.
This made the Sakayanagi Faction members look even more eagerly at their leader - Sakayanagi Arisu.
And Sakayanagi Arisu seemed to be thinking about something, her cute brows slightly raised.
However, in reality, Sakayanagi was not thinking about how to deal with the exam at all.
Because she was thinking.
Hikigaya was able to obtain all the school's information from her.
And Hikigaya was able to cause his Class to lose points and expose their Class evaluation points, which he also learned from her.
In other words, before the Class competition even began.
She had already aided the enemy, and she had done so twice, severely.
What a complex experience.
So, was she considered a traitor to Class A?
Sakayanagi Arisu pouted.
