Ichinose Honami is Cong Akito, and it makes sense, "You mean...Class A himself serves as Favored One's Small Group?"
"That's right. According to the rules, classmates cannot refer to the recipients of preferential treatment in the same class. In other words, in the group where the three preferential recipients are students from our Class A, we, Class A, cannot take the initiative to obtain the 50 class points."
"Not only that, we face the risk of being guessed by other classes. Instead of guarding fearfully, or letting these 50 points slip away in vain... it is better to turn it into a bargaining chip."
Ichinose Honami vaguely guessed Kazehara Tetsu's intention.
"You mean..."
"I will be responsible for finding all the answers to the remaining Nine Groups - that is, Favored One belonging to B, C, Class D and Small Group."
"And among those three Favored One that belong to Class A and Small Group... I will tell you the answer directly."
Ichinose Honami opened his eyes suddenly.
"So... you want to give these three Small Group opportunities to us Class B?"
"That's right, instead of letting Class C or Class D pick it up, I would rather give this opportunity to Class B with a good reputation. I will tell you the names of these three Small Group Favored One directly."
"In this way, Class B can get 150 Class Points points. Correspondingly, the 150 Points that will be deducted if Class A guesses is offset."
"Wait...Kagihara."
Ichinose Honami forced himself to calm down, "This sounds like Class B's unilateral profit, right? Class A not only wants to deduct points, but also benefits the enemy... Why are you doing this? Even if we have a good personal relationship, this kind of thing that harms the interests of the class..."
"Don't worry, business matters, Equivalent Exchange."
"What I want is Personal Points."
"Personal Points?" Ichinose was a little surprised.
"That's right. In exchange for these three Small Group answers, all of you Class B will pay each of us Class A fifteen thousand Personal Points every month until graduation."
"Fifteen thousand..." Ichinose Honami quickly calculated in his mind.
Class A has 40 students. Each student has 15,000 points per month, which is 600,000 points per month. That is 7.2 million points per year.
If it is until graduation... this will be an astronomical amount of money!
"Honami, you are a smart Akito. You should know better than anyone else, in this school, whether 'Personal Points' or 'Class Points' is more important."
"Personal Points To put it bluntly, it is pocket money. Less than fifteen thousand points may allow you to buy less new clothes and eat less big meals. But do these things have any meaning for the ultimate goal of 'graduation'?"
"But Class Points is different. That is the only indicator that determines whether you can graduate as 'Class A'. How many exams do you need to defeat your opponents to get these 150 points?"
Ichinose Honami fell into deep thought.
On the surface, this does appear to be a feasible solution.
Class A cannot self-check. If you do not trade, then the 150 Points may be guessed by Class C or Class D and points will be deducted.
Through this transaction, although Class A deducted points in name, in fact, by collecting the "rent" of Class B, this part of the lost Class Points value was completely converted into real Personal Points.
And for Class B...
The essence of this plan is to use the future "cash" of Class B to purchase the current Class Points.
150 points Class Points, this is so important.
In Advanced Nurturing High School, Class Points is everything.
If you want to upgrade from Class B to Class A, the only way is for Class Points to exceed Class A.
If this transaction is not accepted, the 150 Points may flow to Class C or Class D.
At that time, Class B not only failed to score a single point, but also watched other teams catch up with the 150 Points.
Moreover, as Kazehara Tetsu said, this transaction has no substantial negative impact on the current life of classmate Class B.
They just handed over the portion of the increment Points "obtained because of the transaction".
Their basic income has not changed.
There is even an additional 1.5 million Personal Points reward as a sweetener.
"This plan... I personally... am very excited about it."
"But..."
Ichinose changed the topic, with a look of embarrassment on his face, "After all, this involves the interests of the whole class. We have to make everyone accept it and promise to transfer fifteen thousand points every month... This is not a small thing."
"Although it is for promotion in the long run, watching the Points in the account flow to competitors every month will inevitably cause some students to feel resentful."
As the guardian of Class B, Ichinose Honami's character determines that she will not act arbitrarily.
She must consider the feelings of every classmate.
"Of course."
Kazehara Tetsu did not show any impatience, but nodded, as if he had anticipated her reaction.
"However, Honami. Time waits for no one."
"You also know that this kind of exam is highly variable. If it is delayed for too long, Class C or Class D may notice something, or Favored One's information may be leaked."
"For the second discussion in the afternoon, I need a definite answer."
"If by that time, you haven't given me the result yet..."
He paused, and a slightly apologetic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Then, I can only regretfully think that Class B gave up this opportunity. For the benefit of Class A, I have to talk to Ryuen Kakeru. I think he will be happy to conclude this deal with me."
Ichinose Honami's heart tightened.
Go find Ryuen Kakeru...
"I understand."
Ichinose Honami took a deep breath and his eyes became firm, "I will convene everyone for a meeting as soon as possible to discuss, and I will definitely give you an answer before the discussion starts in the afternoon."
"Very good. Then, I'll just wait for the good news."
After he finished speaking, he took steps to leave the windy stern of the ship.
When the two passed by, Ichinose Honami suddenly stopped him.
"Kagihara."
Kazehara Tetsu stopped and turned his head, "Is there anything else?"
"Thank you."
"What? This is just a transaction. You should despise me for taking advantage of others' danger."
"At least, you gave us a chance to choose the future."
"If you want to express your gratitude, why not do something to repay the favor, such as a reward or something..."
Ichinose Honami The originally slightly grateful expression suddenly froze on his face, and then he collapsed helplessly.
She put her hands on her hips and tried to assume a serious preaching posture.
"Really...Kagihara! Can't you maintain a positive image even for a second? You were so reliable when we were talking about business just now."
"That's impossible."
Kazehara Tetsu spread out his hands confidently, and his eyes swept over Ichinose Honami's graceful curves without hesitation.
"After all, I am an honest man. In other words, I am very lustful. Covering up my true nature is not in line with my aesthetics."
"You... really don't know what to say."
Ichinose Honami was speechless by this "shameless declaration", and a trace of blush appeared on his cheeks.
She sighed, and finally lost, "Forget it, no matter what I say, you will always have some lies waiting for you. See you in the afternoon, 'honest' Kagihara."
