----------
Chabashira suddenly posted a notification in the class group: everyone was required to gather in the classroom at 8:30 for a class meeting.
It's worth noting that this was only the second time Chabashira had held a class meeting in the morning.
The last time was on the very first day of school.
She was probably going to announce something important.
Akira put away his phone, changed into his school uniform, quickly ate breakfast, and rushed to the Class 1-D classroom.
The moment he pushed open the door, he noticed the unusual atmosphere—the classroom was almost full, but instead of joy from receiving points, his classmates' faces were filled with confusion and unease.
"Have your points arrived?"
"They have, but only eight thousand points! That loan agreement we signed last month deducted too much..."
"But this isn't right! Our class's class points should be over eight hundred. Even after deducting the forty-five thousand for the surveillance equipment rental, there should at least be over thirty thousand left!"
"Only five hundred thirty class points? It hasn't even reached the passing line." Horikita approached, carrying her shoulder bag, and said with a deep frown. "It seems that a lot of points were deducted for violations outside the class area as well."
But Akira no longer had time to pay attention to her analysis—that familiar mechanical voice echoed in his mind:
[Ding ~ Today's intelligence has been updated]
[1. 20 million private points can be used to transfer classes, or to invalidate any student's expulsion once.]
[2. Sakagami of Class 1-C condones Ryuuen Kakeru's violent behavior within the class.]
[3. Hasebe Haruka is the most outstanding-figured girl in Class 1-D.]
'Wait... spend twenty million points... to transfer classes?'
Akira blinked.
This intelligence was like a heavy hammer, confirming most of his speculations over the past few days.
After all, the school authorities' initial slogan was "With points, anything can be bought."
Since he rented surveillance equipment through the Student Council President last month, the school authorities had progressively announced several "non-sellable items"—surveillance systems, classroom seats, class ownership... these key resources were all labeled as forbidden for transaction.
The school authorities were probably also worried: what if another student directly rented out a classroom? How would they handle that? So they simply banned everything.
Akira had nothing to say about this.
He'd already made a fortune from the surveillance system, and there was no need for him to keep exploiting the school authorities' equipment.
This path had most likely been completely blocked by the school authorities.
'But then again, this is too expensive, isn't it? Twenty million! My operations only met half of the conditions!'
Akira felt that his actions at the beginning of the school year were already pretty good: first, he bought key information from a second-year upperclassman, then resold it to Class D, earning one million points—he then used this money as capital to successfully rent the surveillance system, getting three million from four classes at once. After deducting the capital and a five percent tax, he made a net profit of a little over ten million.
But this was still far from his goal.
He felt that probably no other student could replicate his operations.
However, what surprised him the most was actually the latter part of the statement.
'Wait! It can also cancel one expulsion? Isn't that like a get-out-of-death-free card?'
Akira was not an ordinary person—he came with a mission: to successfully graduate from Advanced Nurturing High School.
Assuming he was accidentally expelled during school, his plan would be completely ruined.
Whether he would be punished by being sent to another world or face other consequences was an unknown.
After all, the system had only given him one instruction: complete his studies at Advanced Nurturing High School.
Moreover, he felt that attending this school was actually quite enjoyable—his classmates spoke well and were interesting.
In other words, whether it was to complete his mission, protect himself in advance, or simply accumulate points, twenty million points seemed like a viable short-term goal.
As for the matter of changing classes.
Akira was fine staying in Class D for now—although the monthly points issued were a bit low, he actually didn't care about these regularly distributed points at all.
If he had to point out any drawbacks, it would probably be that his homeroom teacher, Chabashira, always seemed to have other ideas about him, and Class D's "underachiever" label always attracted discrimination from other classes.
He still needed a backup plan.
After all, if Chabashira ever used some trick to threaten him, and after the Student Council President graduated in the second year, he probably wouldn't have any way to deal with it.
He couldn't help but start pondering again: if he really had to change classes, which class should he choose?
Ultimately, as long as he could graduate, any class was the same.
Class C had Ryuuen, which was indeed troublesome.
If he transferred there, he would first beat the opponent several times until he submitted, and then the opponent probably wouldn't dare to provoke him again.
For such people, force was often the most direct solution—the opponent clearly had a personality that responded to toughness, not softness.
As for Class A, with Sakayanagi there, Akira was too lazy to waste his brain fighting her in a battle of wits. What if he angered her so much that she had a heart attack and went to the hospital, completely offending the chairman? He couldn't use force, so all in all, it was very troublesome.
Class B should be the most comfortable.
Given Ichinose's personality, she would most likely protect every single person in her class.
Perhaps even if a student from her class was expelled, she would find a way to gather twenty million points to save them.
Although this idea had no basis, Akira felt that she would definitely do so.
'After thinking about it, Class B is still better.'
'I trust Ichinose very much.'
Akira's gaze fell on the second piece of information again.
This piece of information was quite intriguing.
That homeroom teacher named Sakagami, knowing there was a "tyrant" in his class, actually condoned it?
So, are there really any normal teachers in this school?
His own Chabashira was not a normal person, and the teacher in the neighboring Class B had a chaotic private life and always came to class smelling of alcohol.
After much thought, perhaps only the teacher in Class A could be considered normal.
As for the third piece of information—
This was almost a universally acknowledged fact among all classmates.
Speaking of which, he hadn't really talked much with Hasebe.
She wasn't the talkative type and seemed particularly conscious of the male students in her class, never wearing a swimsuit during several swimming classes.
But she wasn't emotionally unintelligent or unable to speak—she simply preferred not to interact with others.
When Akira spoke to her before, she even showed some interest, her gaze falling on his strong arms.
She was likely the type of person with high standards, and her personality was somewhat similar to his—only willing to talk to people she found interesting.
After all, Hasebe herself was beautiful and had an outstanding figure, so having high standards was perfectly normal.
