Only by graduating from the School as Class A in the Third Year can one receive the School's promise of free and exemption from entrance exams to the desired university, or obtain a recommendation letter from the School to their desired position.
Only one Class receives the reward, but initially, four classes were admitted.
So, it was natural for Class competition and Class rivalry to arise.
"So we need to ally with other classes?"
After returning from Sakayanagi, Hachiman found Horikita.
Mm.
Although he had received help from Yo-suke and Kushida for promotion, and Sakura no longer considered him a bad person, Hachiman would still choose to consult with Horikita Suzune.
Because neither Yo-suke nor Kushida would assist when you had a need, rather than having the determination to get promoted themselves.
Therefore, Hachiman trusted Horikita Suzune more than them.
After all, Horikita-san's determination to get promoted was also very strong; she hoped to bring some prestige to her brother, who was the Student Council president.
So, the probability of her actively working was very high.
"Given the current situation, our Class's overall strength is very weak, so finding a helper is quite important," Hachiman said.
A helper, huh.
Horikita noticed Hachiman's choice of words.
However, she couldn't deny it.
In the Class evaluation points announced the day before yesterday.
Even though everyone started with 1000 points.
The results were like this:
First Year Class A: 996 points
First Year Class B: 834 points
First Year Class C: 611 points
Class D of Grade 1: 480 points
Moreover, Class A only lost 4 points in 6 days and had already obtained the School's rules in advance, making them a very formidable enemy.
It was hard to imagine Class D going it alone.
At the same time, if an alliance could be formed, the Class competition would feel more legitimate.
However, the immediate issue was choosing an alliance partner.
Hachiman and his Class were Class D, and Class A was the target, so they couldn't choose them.
That left only Class C or Class B as options.
"If we choose Class C, since our point values are similar, we could try to stick together."
"But I suggest choosing Class B," Hachiman said.
"You've already obtained information on Class B in advance?"
"No." Hachiman shook his head. "It's just that Class B's overall standard is higher, and compared to sticking together, our Class needs help more."
Help, huh.
"For example, if there's a written exam, although your grades are good, and there might be a few academically strong students in the Class, wouldn't you feel short-handed if you had to teach them?" Hachiman said. "But if we ally with Class B, they have more academic elites in their Class, and we can borrow some for guidance."
…" In other words, he had considered this point.
Class D had many poor students.
If there were a written exam, it would indeed be very troublesome.
And with so many fewer students in the upper grades, it's clear that many students must have fallen behind in repeated exams.
However.
"Why would they fail? They could have mastered it by just listening carefully in Class."
"I've never failed," Horikita Suzune said.
…"
Hachiman's expression instantly turned to ╮(╯▽╰)╭.
Alright.
Horikita, who always studies hard, please don't speak.
Because he came to Horikita's dorm, he found her schedule pasted on the wall.
In it, she studied for 10 hours every day.
She was both diligent and had good grades.
However.
If the academic elites in his Class said these things to the students with poor grades but strong self-esteem, they would definitely not accept it.
So, I'm afraid that even trying to hold a study group will fail.
Then, we'll definitely have to seek help from another Class.
"Therefore, finding a high-profile Class and having them support us is the best solution," Hikigaya Hachiman said.
"Then..." Horikita thought for a moment. "Do you already have the contact information for a Class B student?"
"No," Hikigaya Hachiman shook his head.
How could he possibly know anyone from another Class?
At most, he knew Sakayanagi Arisu.
And Sakayanagi Arisu was from Class A, which was essentially the big boss of the opposing faction.
And it was only the beginning of the school year; most of the students' interactions were still confined to their small circles.
But there was one person who was different.
That person had already made contact with Class A students on the second day of school, and presumably, she was already getting along well with Class B students by now.
So, this required another person to make an appearance.
...
The person Hikigaya Hachiman needed was Kushida Kikyo.
Yo-suke was mainly dedicated to the students in his Class, but Kushida Kikyo had connections both within and outside her Class.
She could often be seen greeting students from other Classes in the common hall on the Floor of the dormitory.
And Hikigaya Hachiman also noticed that among the students from other Classes who greeted Kushida, there was one who had a similar aura to Kushida, but was even more popular than Kushida, with long pink-gold hair, a good figure, and an outgoing personality.
Although he hadn't initially intended to contact Kushida, he now needed her help.
So, Hikigaya Hachiman sent her a message: Horikita needs you, and she came immediately.
"Heh... heh--"
She must have run over in a hurry, arriving at Horikita Suzune's dormitory door, and when she opened the door, she could be seen panting with her hands on her knees.
However, her face, slightly flushed from the exercise, was quite cute.
"But," Kushida's eyes seemed a little surprised. "Why is Hikigaya in Horikita's dorm, and already inside?"
Already... inside?
Right.
Hikigaya Hachiman also felt a hint of pressure.
Because Kushida stuck to Horikita every day, but Horikita was as cold as ice, yet Hikigaya could enter and exit Horikita Suzune's dorm.
Was that strange?
It was indeed a little strange.
At the same time, Kushida's gaze fell on his feet.
He was wearing a pair of men's slippers.
But this was a girl's room, so why would there be men's slippers?
In other words, Hikigaya Hachiman, you actually have a super good relationship with Horikita Suzune, right?
"..." Hikigaya Hachiman.
He slightly regretted having Kushida come here, and instead should have met her in his room, or somewhere else.
"Horikita had a new idea, and then invited me over," Hikigaya Hachiman said. "And the shoes are the reward."
Shoes as a reward?
This statement was strange, but Kushida could understand it, because Horikita Suzune's personality was quite odd; for example, if she invited you to eat, she would probably ask for your help as soon as you took the first bite.
So, it wasn't incomprehensible to use shoes as a reward now.
However.
In fact, all of the above were Hikigaya Hachiman's thoughts. Including the excuse about the shoes.
Horikita Suzune listened silently from the side.
The slippers Hikigaya Hachiman was currently wearing were prepared by her.
But there was no other meaning.
The shoes were just because she thought if there were many special exams, and there were cameras everywhere in this school, then the relatively safe places were only dormitories and the like.
Going to the male dormitory was strange, although she didn't care about others' gazes, she just didn't want strange rumors to spread, so it was better to have Hikigaya come over himself.
And the last time he came over, she noticed that he could only take off his shoes and wear socks, which was not a polite gesture.
So, when she went shopping at the supermarket, she bought a pair incidentally.
However, Horikita did not explain.
She didn't really like dealing with Kushida.
So, if Hikigaya Hachiman could deal with Kushida, that would be excellent.
Moreover.
Earlier, Hikigaya Hachiman had a record of damaging a camera in the Class, and in reality, only a few scattered people knew the truth.
So, it was easier to understand that whatever Hikigaya Hachiman did was Horikita's idea, and if Horikita had an idea, Kushida could help, and so on, pushing the blame over.
Moreover.
Horikita Suzune had been harassed by Kushida, and she probably somewhat understood that the other party seemed to be eagerly hoping to get along with her, which meant that inviting Kushida out in her name was very effective.
And very clearly, Hikigaya had already grasped this point.
"This is water." Since it was her own dormitory, Horikita was still somewhat prepared.
She served water to both Hikigaya Hachiman and Kushida.
Warm boiled water with a little salt.
It looked very ordinary.
But.
"Thank you," Kushida felt a little flattered.
Then, after taking the water glass, she looked at Hikigaya Hachiman with a slight touch.
Hikigaya Hachiman quickly met her gaze.
But no, Kushida.
He didn't say anything good about you just now. So, Horikita was just being a normal host.
Rather, you are actually being treated as a useful person by everyone now.
As long as you drink her water, then you can officially be used.
Look.
She's watching you drink water.
"You want to form an alliance with Class B... Hmm... When you mention alliance, it feels a bit like the Class competition is starting," Kushida probably understood what they meant. Then she said, "However, Class B already has people who can make decisions for the Class."
"There are two people, one is Ichinose Honami and the other is Kanzaki."
"How should I put it, the students in Class B all trust them very much."
Kushida shared her information. "And they have also gained a position similar to that of a leader."
Then that's correct.
For Class confrontation exams, someone needs to lead.
Like Class D, well... let's not mention Class D.
Hikigaya Hachiman didn't think a disorganized group would produce a heaven-sent strong man as a leader; rather, it was already quite remarkable that they could stick together like Yo-suke.
"Do you have any other information about them?" Hikigaya Hachiman asked.
Since the target of the alliance had been determined to be Class B, obtaining more information about the other party was very useful.
"I don't have a picture of Kanzaki, but I do have a picture of Ichinose saved on my phone."
Kushida probably felt that her relationship had increased by 1 after getting Horikita Suzune's water. So, she started working hard.
However, when she tried to open the picture, she accidentally pressed the chat application.
Then she reacted quickly.
"Ah, don't look, Hikigaya-kun," Kushida said.
Hikigaya Hachiman immediately turned his head, but he still noticed.
Kushida's chat application was quite something.
She actually had 67 groups.
Moreover, some groups had five girls, but she actually created 6 groups.
In other words, it was like that, the relationships between girls are very complicated.
There are people you have to interact with, but also people you collectively dislike.
Even the same dormitory can be divided into several factions. And they are different both openly and secretly.
Although she pressed the wrong button for a moment, Kushida quickly found the album and then found the picture.
However, being able to display her phone on the table indicated that she was very clean, didn't download anything strange on her phone, and allowed some of her phone's information to be seen by others.
The picture opened.
It was a very beautiful girl.
She had beautiful pink-gold long hair, and charming facial features. Her skin was fair and delicate, and her waist was slender.
At the same time, she had an excellent figure.
Her looks were very high, and the picture taken showed her smiling, looking quite approachable.
"This person is..." Hikigaya Hachiman murmured.
"Is this Class B...?" Horikita Suzune also said.
"No, it's probably F," Hikigaya Hachiman said.
?
Horikita didn't immediately understand what that meant.
Because there was no Class F in the school.
"..." Hikigaya Hachiman. "Uh, I misspoke just now. Is this Ichinose Honami from Class B?"
Then he glanced at Kushida.
Kushida didn't show any strange expression, maintaining her previous expression, which meant she didn't hear it.
Horikita's emotional intelligence was not enough, but Kushida was different, otherwise his phrasing would have been taken as that of a hateful guy whose mind was full of perverted thoughts.
Actually, he couldn't be blamed.
Because the picture Kushida showed was Ichinose's school swimsuit picture.
It highlighted her figure very much.
However, it was probably because she had a very good private relationship with Ichinose that she had such a picture.
"Does Hikigaya know Ichinose?" Kushida said.
"Yes, because we live in the same building, I occasionally see her," Hikigaya Hachiman said. "She's always surrounded by friends."
"Right, Ichinose is very popular. Many boys like her," Kushida said.
Oh.
So, why are you telling him this information?
He wouldn't like Ichinose.
Hachiman was just startled by her photo.
Ichinose is quite beautiful, but don't underestimate him; if Horikita Suzune, who is by his side, were truly ranked among beautiful girls, she wouldn't lose to Ichinose.
"And it seems there are also girls who like Ichinose," Kushida then revealed another big piece of news.
"Ichinose's academic performance is excellent; she seems to have been first in the entrance written exam."
"Also, she's extremely popular, and all the students in her Class trust her."
"However, there doesn't seem to be any tense atmosphere in her Class," Kushida continued to provide information. "Everyone is enjoying their school life, and about two-thirds of the students in their Class have joined various clubs."
A tense atmosphere, huh.
And they're also joining clubs and enjoying life?
This means that Class B hasn't fully entered a state of Class competition yet.
Then there's room for smooth manipulation.
Hachiman felt that an alliance with Class B would no longer be difficult.
...
The next morning was the weekend, so there was no need to go to the classroom for lessons, but Hachiman went directly to the public hall on the Floor.
And there, a cute girl with short blonde hair was already waiting.
She was sitting on a chair, looking at her phone.
Probably hearing footsteps, she looked up, noticed Hachiman's arrival, and although she had just been focused on her phone, she immediately put it away, stood up from the chair, and walked towards Hachiman.
Kushida is very popular; she's very cute, like a Little Angel, but Hachiman felt that some of her subtle actions also added to her charm.
"Then let's go," Hachiman said.
"Hehe... but why are we going to the Student Council? Isn't Horikita going?"
Hachiman had already decided to ally with Class B.
So what he needed to do was arrange a meeting with Class B's representative, then have a face-to-face discussion, and sign the agreement. However, since they were a lower Class, a little preparation wouldn't hurt.
The negotiation materials Hachiman prepared were the entire Grade's roster, or rather, the basic information of all students in the entire Grade.
If you want to move up Classes, you first need to gather information on your enemies.
And Class B, according to Kushida's introduction, hasn't yet realized this.
So it can be used perfectly as a bargaining chip.
"Horikita doesn't think it's necessary for so many people to go together," Hachiman said.
"I see," Kushida nodded. "So Hikigaya is very enthusiastic about getting into Class A, huh."
"Because this is like a bug, an opportunity. Normally, my academic performance isn't very good, so it's hard to easily get into the university I want. But if I can get into Class A and get a tuition waiver from the school, it's like taking a shortcut," Hachiman said.
I see.
Hikigaya is doing it for himself.
Kushida then had no other doubts.
Kamuro from Class A contacted her last night, asking about Hikigaya's female relationships and if there were any signs of romance with anyone.
This action felt a bit strange.
It even surprised Kushida, making her wonder if Hikigaya's luck with women had arrived? Did he already have a girlfriend?
Is it Horikita Suzune?
But looking at it now, no, it's not.
He and Horikita share the same goal, and their relationship is more like a cooperative one.
Moreover.
It's almost impossible to imagine what Horikita Suzune, someone who finds it hard to even make friends, would be like in a romantic relationship.
And Hikigaya...
Hmm...
Kushida felt that Kamuro didn't need to worry either, because very few girls would like Hikigaya.
Because this boy, if he could hide his dead fish eyes, might look quite handsome.
But he doesn't.
And what girls care about most is appearance.
...
"Excuse us."
The two arrived at the entrance of the Student Council.
Today was the weekend, but only one person was on duty at the Student Council. He had short blonde hair, long limbs, and probably excelled at sports.
And on his desk was a flashy sign that read "Vice President Nagumo."
It's worth noting that the desks of other staff, the accountant, and the Student Council President didn't have such signs.
However.
Doing this also had its purpose, because anyone who came to the Student Council would notice him.
However, today only Vice President Nagumo was in the Student Council office.
"Are you first-years? What do you need?" Vice President Nagumo seemed to be all business.
"Well, we'd like to print a roster of the entire Grade," Hachiman said.
"Oh?"
Actually, Nagumo had a very strong memory. When he was sitting there, he noticed the arriving first-years, and the boy was the same one who had come to the Student Council last time to ask about the punishment for breaking a camera.
And now he was back again today.
And he even brought a very cute School Junior!
However.
Nagumo initially didn't focus on Hachiman, thinking he had probably done something wrong again.
But now, he became slightly interested.
"Why would you want to print a roster of the entire Grade?" Nagumo asked.
"We're quite unfamiliar with students from other Classes, and we hope to understand their information first. Because there are people we'd like to befriend," Hachiman said.
"..." Nagumo.
Then never mind.
This is truly embarrassing.
If you want to make friends with others, then you should actively approach them. Preparing information beforehand is ridiculous.
"Printing the roster requires 100,000 points," Nagumo said, then took out a QR code for payment.
"You can print it after paying the points," Nagumo said.
"That expensive!" Kushida was shocked.
But Senior Nagumo smiled slightly.
"Although you can buy anything at this school, many things are also very expensive."
Perhaps because he was facing a super cute School Junior, Vice President Nagumo's expression softened considerably.
"But since you want to print it."
"I'll pay 20,000 points for you," Nagumo said.
"Eh..."
"Really?" Kushida seemed a little surprised. "That's not a small sum."
"Yes, it is. After all, for us upperclassmen, the abundance of points is different from yours," Vice President Nagumo said lavishly.
"Then thank you, Senior Nagumo," Hachiman said. "Can we print it now? I've paid 80,000 points."
"..." Nagumo.
So you really know how to ruin the mood.
Nagumo did indeed have points, and losing a few tens of thousands wouldn't pain him. It was almost mealtime, and he was planning to eat.
So if this could serve as an excuse to get to know a School Junior from Grade 1, it wouldn't be bad.
He was currently the Student Council Vice President, and once President Horikita stepped down, he would take over.
Then he could fulfill one of his dreams.
He wanted to form a Student Council composed entirely of girls, so cute girls were welcome to join.
And the School Junior just now was quite cute, so he could leave a good impression.
However.
While giving the computer the print command, Nagumo looked up.
"By the way, you still have so many points left?"
Nagumo had already confirmed that Hachiman had indeed spent 80,000 private points. But it was important to know that first-years received a uniform 100,000 points upon enrollment, so Hikigaya Hachiman had already been enrolled for a week, still had so much left, and wasn't even pained by spending it like this?
"Sometimes students from Class A treat me to meals," Hachiman said. "So I can save a lot of money."
Is that so.
So your Class is heavily infiltrated, huh.
Are you being kept by students from Class A? Or rather... have you become a tool for Class A?
Nagumo Miyabi became even less interested.
...
Hachiman received two copies of the roster, one printed and two photocopied.
According to Hachiman's explanation, it was to keep two extra copies as backup.
Since he had already collected the printing fee, Nagumo didn't charge for the photocopying.
Thus, Hachiman and Kushida left the Student Council.
Then they headed to the cafe where Kushida, Ichinose, and Kanzaki had agreed to meet.
But on the way.
"Why does Hikigaya need to keep two extra copies of the data?" Kushida asked.
"One copy we can keep for ourselves," Hachiman said. "One copy can be used as a bargaining chip for our deal with Ichinose and them."
"Then, another copy can be sold to students from Class A for 80,000 points."
"If they were to print it themselves, it would cost 100,000 points, so our ready-made list, plus only 80,000 points, means there's a high probability of selling it."
"And as long as students from Class A buy it, the points we paid will come back," Hachiman said.
"..." Kushida.
???
Goodness.
As expected of you.
You're essentially freeloading!
No wonder he paid the points so readily; he had already planned for students from Class A to take over the cost.
Kushida's thoughts were still on Hachiman's statement that sometimes students from Class A would treat him to meals, allowing him to save his points.
And as for students from Class A, Kushida knew that he only knew Kamuro and Sakayanagi Arisu from Class A.
Then she connected this to Kamuro's inquiry last night about Hikigaya's romantic prospects.
So, she was thinking if it was Kamuro from Class A? It shouldn't be Sakayanagi, Kamuro's master, who was interested in Hikigaya… Interesting.
This thought was truly surprising.
Was that the result?
Did Hikigaya intend for Sakayanagi Arisu to take over from the very beginning?
...
The school was quite large.
About ten minutes later, the two had arrived at the meeting point.
Kato Cafe.
There, Horikita Suzune was already waiting.
Horikita remained as cold as ice, but it was undeniable that she was very beautiful; just by sitting there, passersby would look in her direction.
It could also be noticed that while she was looking at a vocabulary book, she was holding a folder.
"Horikita," Kushida immediately greeted.
"..." Suzune.
Horikita did not respond.
Clearly, Kushida had been rebuffed by Horikita Suzune again.
She almost doubted her life.
Last night, she had entered the other party's dorm, shared information, arranged for Ichinose and Kanzaki to meet, and even went with Hikigaya to the Student Council to print the roster.
Logically speaking, she had been a great help.
But now, Horikita Suzune was ignoring her again.
Is it true that when she's useful, she's Kushida, and when she's not, she's ignored with a "..."?
The scene was a bit awkward, but Kushida, Horikita, and Hachiman were all used to it.
So, the three sat down.
Kanzaki and Ichinose, who were supposed to meet them, hadn't arrived yet, so they could only wait.
They didn't wait long.
"Kushida—"
As Hachiman and the others sat there, they heard someone call Kushida's name.
"Ichinose-san~"
And Kushida Kikyo immediately stood up, clasping her hands together, showing her joy.
Hachiman and Horikita looked over, and a man and a woman walked in from the cafe entrance.
The man had slightly curly purple hair and was very handsome.
His legs and arms were also very strong, suggesting he was excellent in sports.
Although Kushida didn't have a photo of him, this young man must be Kanzaki Ryuji.
And the woman.
They had seen her photo yesterday.
It was Ichinose Honami.
But in person, she was even more beautiful than in the photo.
She was a girl with long, golden-pink hair and a very good figure.
She was also lively and very pretty, but also very outgoing; several times, she could be seen surrounded by her companions.
Hachiman gave her beauty a very high rating.
She would not lose to Horikita.
But in terms of popularity… Horikita probably couldn't compare to her.
"..."
And Horikita said nothing.
Hmm.
Horikita continued to be aloof.
But now.
They had arrived.
"I am Hikigaya Hachiman from Class D. And this is Horikita, as for Kushida…" Hachiman stood up and said, "As for Kushida… I'm sure Ichinose is very familiar with her."
"Hello!"
Kanzaki and Ichinose looked over.
"I am Kanzaki Ryuji from First Year Class B."
"Ichinose Honami."
They also introduced themselves.
So, everyone sat down at the table.
...
Kanzaki didn't seem like a very outgoing person; he remained quiet after sitting down.
Ichinose Honami seemed more like the one in charge between the two.
"So, Hikigaya, and Horikita, you wish to… form an alliance with our Class, right?"
Ichinose said.
"That's about right," Hachiman nodded. "We are students of Class D, and you are students of Class B. We all heard the school rules from our Teacher."
"Only students who graduate from Class A can receive the rewards promoted by the school," Hachiman said.
"Hmm…" X2
However, surprisingly, the two big shots from Class B didn't seem to show strong reactions.
They didn't seem very enthusiastic about Class A.
"Indeed, every Class has some good students, but after being promoted to Class A, the entire Class can receive rewards. I think this is a very good thing. Everyone works hard together, strives together, and then receives rewards together," Hachiman said.
"I see…" Ichinose began to consider.
"That doesn't seem bad either," Kanzaki also started to react.
Is that so?
Both of them are the type to care for their companions.
"Then I'll speak," and Kanzaki, who had just been relatively introverted, began to express his opinion, "Everyone's goal is Class A, that's correct, but from the announced Class evaluation scores, our Class B cannot compare to Class A, but your Class D is the last Class."
"What benefits do we get from forming an alliance with you, and can your Class really climb up?" Kanzaki said.
This was quite impolite.
It was similar to saying, we are the superior Class, you are the inferior Class, we are at an advantage, and you are a burden.
So why should we carry the burden?
"Most of us in Class D are poor students. If we were to take regular written exams to get into university, it would definitely be hopeless. So, we don't want to miss this opportunity to be promoted to Class A and receive tuition and examination fee waivers," Hachiman said. "My Kokugo (National Language) is good, but my Physics and English are not, so I also want to take this shortcut provided by the school."
"Oh. Is that so." But Kanzaki said lightly, "I see your determination, but I don't see any substance."
These words were already somewhat cruel.
Kushida, who was accompanying them, already felt the gap between the Classes, or rather, the feeling of being looked down upon when in an inferior Class.
In fact, it could be seen from Sudo that seniors sometimes ridiculed juniors, especially students from Class D.
But it couldn't be denied that the overall hardware configuration of Class D students was not as good as other Classes.
Climbing up was very difficult.
"Is that so?" And Horikita Suzune, who had been silent, spoke. "You want substance, huh? Well, if you refuse us, our Class D students might join forces with Class C students."
"And everyone wants to get into Class A, everyone wants to climb up."
"Class D climbing up means climbing past Class C first, and Class C climbing up means kicking your Class B down."
"Do you think such a thing is acceptable?" Horikita Suzune said.
Horikita still had combat power.
Hachiman evaluated in his heart.
But it was probably not enough.
Because.
Ichinose gently tapped the table, "May I say something?"
"You may," Horikita Suzune said seriously.
"Although I don't mean to look down on everyone in Class D, Class D is the lowest-rated Class. How can you attack us? If you can't help, then an alliance won't benefit us either," Ichinose said.
"...Many students in Class D are very bad, but that doesn't mean all of them are useless…" Horikita suddenly stood up.
But such an explanation seemed pale and powerless.
And Kanzaki remained calm.
"This month's behavioral conduct exam is not over yet," Hachiman said at this moment. "So there's still a chance that First Year Class B could become Class D."
"And if you fall down, can you still talk to us like that?"
??? X4
Almost instantly, four pairs of eyes focused on him.
On one side were Hachiman's companions, Horikita and Kushida, and on the other were the two representatives from Class B.
"What do you mean, Hikigaya?" Kanzaki immediately asked. "Are you threatening us?"
And Horikita, on the side, entered a state of serious attention.
Previously, to break the deadlock, Hachiman directly destroyed the camera, leading to the exposure of the Class evaluation scores.
So, did he have some new insight now?
It was indeed a new insight.
"Because my Class's score was deducted, the evaluation scores of the four Classes were exposed, and the teachers also told us the school rules in advance."
"And our Class D is indeed very bad. In the past 6 days, my Class has been deducted over five hundred points."
"But hasn't the gap between your Class B and Class A also been exposed? They deducted 4 points in 6 days, and you also deducted over a hundred points in 6 days."
"But since the rules are known, if constraints are put in place, then major deductions can be prevented."
"However, the behavioral conduct exam is not over yet."
"So, if at this time, Class A hires us or Class C to cause your Class to lose points, what would be the result?"
What would be the result?
Or rather.
What a terrifying conjecture this was.
What was known now was that everyone's base score was 1000 points, and then the behavioral conduct exam in the first month of enrollment would widen the distance between them.
And after that, there would be special exams every month.
But what would be the scores of those exams then?
Certainly not 1000 points anymore, right? After all, the school provides living expenses to students based on Class evaluation score X100. If too many points were constantly generated, the school's finances would be strained.
So, the next special exam would definitely not have such high scores.
And it could also be confirmed from the Class evaluation scores of the upperclassmen that even after experiencing so many special exams in school, their Class evaluation scores were not in the thousands or tens of thousands.
So, there was a high probability that the upcoming special exams would have small scores like 100 or 200 points.
Therefore, once too much distance was created at the beginning, and the scores of the next exam and the one after that were low, it would become very difficult to catch up.
Then Class B would only be further away from Class A.
And being far away was one thing, but if they were to be dropped down to Class C or D in the first month… that scenario was terrifying to imagine.
Their morale was greatly diminished, and they lost a lot of face.
In other words, Class B now needed to ally with the students of Class D to prevent being knocked down by Class A, right?
Thus, like a pressure game, the pressure instantly shifted to Class B.
It became Class B's responsibility to form an alliance to ensure their Class would not be attacked by underhanded means and fall this month.

It may not be worth it now, but who knows, it might be different in the future. Who knows!
