At first, the students in the class did not understand what was going on.
"So this time, the exam is going to be based on this test paper?" A boy named Ike Kanji immediately stood up.
"I-Is that really true?"
The Class D students had originally been unable to come up with a solution, and Hirata had already decided that they could not wait any longer. They needed to gather everyone together.
Then hold a study group.
He did not want any student to be left behind.
They were all one team.
But now, was there actually a shortcut for this exam?
On the first, their class had received zero points.
Or rather, when he had first entered this school, he had been one of the people willing to stay and pay 10,000 points to hear the information Oreki from Class A was selling.
Unfortunately, he had been unable to persuade everyone.
Or perhaps he simply had not expected everyone to cause the class to lose so many points in a single month.
Then, before he had even finished worrying about the class evaluation points, the matter of being expelled for failing the written exam on the twenty-fourth had begun troubling him as well.
"That's just what the upperclassman said." Kikyou Kushida did not state it too definitively. "So we can only treat it as something like review material."
"Hirata, go investigate!"
However, Yamauchi and Ike had already begun egging Hirata on.
The two of them had already spent all their points. With no points deposited this month, they could not even afford instant noodles anymore.
They were getting by by selling off the game consoles they had bought at a high price last month.
Of course, they had also discovered that the school provided free daily necessities and food.
