"Friendly negotiation?"
Hoshinomiya Chie chewed on these four words, then straightened up and sat down on the sofa next to Ichinose. He crossed his legs in an inconspicuous manner and let out a comfortable sigh.
"Huh... It sounds like a word that only adults would use. Really, you are still in high school, why are you all so unlovable?"
She complained, then calmed down her joking expression, "Okay, since Honami specially asked me to come here, it must not be for me to watch you flirting. Tell me, what is it?"
Ichinose Honami took a deep breath, calmed down the shyness he had just been teased about, and his expression became serious again.
"Well, Hoshinomiya-sensei. Here's the thing. Regarding this Favored One Exam, Kagihara and I have reached an agreement..."
Ichinose Honami repeated the trading plan proposed by Kazehara Tetsu, as well as the decision of all Class B members to agree to transfer 15,000 Personal Points points every month in the future to Class A in exchange for 150 Class Points points.
"That's all."
After hearing this, Hoshinomiya Chie did not respond immediately. Instead, he turned his attention to Kazehara Tetsu, with a bit of vigilance in his eyes for the first time.
"Using the loopholes in the rules that Class A cannot self-check, the Class Points that may have been lost was turned into long-term Personal Points income... At the same time, Class B was also sold a favor, and it can even be said to control Class B's future economic lifeline to a certain extent..."
Hoshinomiya Chie chuckled, "Kagihara, this is really a business that is so 'smart' that it's scary."
"It's just about everyone getting what they need. Hoshinomiya-sensei should also be able to see that this is also the optimal solution for Class B, isn't it?"
"The optimal solution? On the surface, it seems to be the case. Class B exchanged the 'future enjoyment' for the 'necessary promotion capital'. But, Kagihara, are you really just for that Personal Points?"
She said meaningfully, "Once this long-term debt relationship is established, when Student of Class B faces Class A in the future, it is inevitable that he will have a subtle psychological mentality of 'inferior'. This subtle psychological hint... is probably much scarier than those millions of Personal Points, right?"
"Hoshinomiya-sensei, are you worried about the mental health of your students? This is really a model for teachers."
Kazehara Tetsu responded calmly, "However, psychological status is never determined by an agreement, but by strength. If Class B really has the strength to surpass Class A, then this 'debt' will become their motivation, won't it?"
Having said this, Kazehara Tetsu paused and looked directly into Hoshinomiya Chie's eyes.
"Besides, as a teacher, your current duty is only to serve as a 'witness' to confirm that this transaction complies with School Rules and that both parties are willing. As for the deep meaning behind this... that is a matter between our students. If you interfere too much, it will not be in line with the purpose of This School'Might Makes Right', right?"
This sentence was like a nail that stuck into Hoshinomiya Chie's heart.
The rule of Advanced Nurturing High School is an iron law.
Teachers are not allowed to interfere with competition among students unless serious violations are involved.
Hoshinomiya Chie stared at Kazehara Tetsu for a long time.
Finally, she slumped back onto the sofa and resumed her lazy and casual look.
"Oh my, my teacher, although it makes sense, I still feel very unhappy when students use School Rules to 'educate' me..."
She pouted and complained with some dissatisfaction, "What an unlovable boy. If only you were a little more stupid, then the teacher might think you are a little cute."
"Since Honami-chan and everyone have decided, and as this 'uncute' classmate said, this is indeed in line with Class B's current interests... then the teacher has nothing to say."
"So, are you willing to be this witness?" Kazehara Tetsu asked.
"Do I have a reason to say no?"
Hoshinomiya Chie spread his hands, "After all, if I don't agree, Honami-chan will definitely cry, right? I can't bear to see such a cute girl sad."
"I won't cry!" Ichinose Honami retorted with a red face.
Kazehara Tetsu took out the documents he had prepared long ago from the bag beside him.
Those are two printed agreements.
"This is the agreement, in duplicate."
He handed the agreement to Ichinose Honami and Hoshinomiya Chie respectively, "It details the contents of the transaction, payment method and liability for breach of contract."
Ichinose Honami took the agreement and read it carefully. The terms were clear and clear, without any text traps, just as Kazehara Tetsu said before.
Hoshinomiya Chie just glanced at it casually and no longer paid attention to the content, but looked at Kazehara Tetsu thoughtfully.
"You are so well prepared... It seems that you have expected that I would agree?"
"Don't fight an unprepared battle." Kazehara Tetsu took out a signature pen and handed it to Ichinose.
Ichinose Honami held the pen and signed his name.
Then, she pushed the agreement to Hoshinomiya Chie.
Hoshinomiya Chie picked up the pen and signed his name in the witness column.
After signing, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Kazehara Tetsu.
"Na, Kagihara."
"What's the matter, teacher?"
"You are so For Class A fighting for benefits, what do you want to gain? Status? Or simply victory?"
Kazehara Tetsu put away one of the agreements and put it back in the bag.
"Maybe, just to have some fun in this playground."
He stood up, straightened some wrinkled clothes, and bowed slightly to the two ladies, "Thank you Hoshinomiya-sensei for your cooperation, and thank you Honami and Class B for your trust."
"I will send you a message when I get back with your name."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the Lounge Area exit without stopping too much.
Lounge Area is the only one left with Hoshinomiya Chie and Ichinose Honami.
Hoshinomiya Chie held another agreement in his hand and fanned it gently, as if it was some worthless waste paper.
"What a terrible child...
She murmured to herself in a low voice, then turned to look at Ichinose Honami who was in a daze, and hugged Ichinose's shoulders.
"Okay, the business is over! Honami-chan, in order to celebrate the completion of such a 'great' deal, should you accompany me and the teacher to have a drink?"
"Eh? That kind of thing is absolutely not allowed! I am a minor." Ichinose Honami hurriedly waved his hand and refused.
"What does it matter... just drink a little secretly."
"No, it means no! This is illegal!"
"Okay, okay, then the juice is okay, right?"
Hoshinomiya Chie leaned on the sofa and looked at the young girl in front of her who was still full of vigor even though she was burdened with heavy debts.
There was a hint of tenderness in his eyes, but there was also a hint of haze that was hard to detect.
That was my thinking about Class B's future, and also my fear of that boy.
"Honami..."
"Huh? What's wrong, teacher?"
"Nothing."
Hoshinomiya Chie shook his head and smiled again, "I just think the moonlight is so beautiful tonight."
"Yeah."
Ichinose Honami turned to look out the window, "It will definitely be a good weather tomorrow."
