At that moment, every student in the class turned their eyes toward the score sheet on the blackboard.
There, in the last three rows, the scores of Ike Koji, Yamauchi Haruki, and Sudo Ken were clearly recorded.
Perhaps their last-minute cramming had paid off somewhat. Although Ike Koji, Yamauchi Haruki, and Sudo Ken each had failing subjects, they had not failed every subject.

"How about this? I'll charge you one hundred thousand per point. What do you think?"
What did they think?
Was there even a need to ask?
"One hundred thousand per
