Oreki wrote the words "Hitchhike" in his notebook.

As long as he collected enough Hitchhiker Cards and bet them all on the likely first- and second-place teams, wouldn't that be a legal and reasonable way to fleece the school for another windfall?
Oreki had not been particularly interested in points to begin with, but... this time, the school was footing the bill for the reward points.
