Besides.
Why should first-year students be allowed to take third place without showing any respect for their seniors?
In fact, Nagumo had gotten it wrong.
The first-years had long since been sold off to Ryuuen by Oreki. Therefore, whatever the first-years earned, Oreki could take a cut.
Besides.
Nagumo had probably failed to notice that when the compensation plan was announced, neither Utsunomiya nor Sakurako Haru's expressions changed.
That was because they had secured third place and would receive Private Points and class evaluation point rewards.
However, they had paid a price for it.
Their class had given up the compensation of 50,000 Private Points per person that they would have received by accepting Senior Oreki's withdrawal proposal.

Class 1-B: 750 Points
Class 1-C: 560 Points
Class 1-D: 0 Points
Now that they had taken third place, they would receive a reward of 100 class evaluation points.
Thus, after climbing up from Class 1-C, Class 1-B had earned another 100 Points in this exam.
Their class evaluation score had become 850 Points.

Then their class could have received class evaluation point rewards and widened the gap with Class B.
But unfortunately.
Just as Amasawa had reached second place, she withdrew.
Due to physical discomfort, she had to return to the cruise ship for treatment.
With that, her results
