June

The sun hung scorching in the sky, and the green grass had turned into a withered, sallow mess, drooping listlessly.

The long-awaited May 31st had finally arrived; tomorrow was the glorious day for the distribution of student points.

Inside the classroom of Class 1-B.

A young female teacher was slumped over the podium, the twin mounds on her chest nearly bursting out!

Hoshinomiya Chie lifted her head, wiped away a cold sweat, and said with extreme gentleness: "Students of Class 1-B, please make sure to study hard today as well..."

A girl in the front row covered her nose and said: "Teacher, you reek of alcohol!"

Hoshinomiya Chie clutched her aching head and said: "I drank too much last night. Let's put that aside for now; let me announce this month's point standings for each class!"

Hoshinomiya Chie wrote on the blackboard:

Class A: 1004cp

Class B: 660cp

Class C: 600cp

Class D: 100cp

The students of Class B were overjoyed, thanking Ichinose Honami incessantly: it was only because they held a Study Group that they were able to gain so many class points!

Shiranami Chihiro even lunged forward, blushing as she hugged Ichinose Honami: "I'm so glad I'm in Class B... It's truly a blessing to be in the same class as Honami-chan!"

Ichinose Honami stroked Shiranami Chihiro's hair and smiled gently: "I think it's great that I'm in Class B, too."

Shiranami Chihiro looked up and gathered her courage: "Honami, can you come behind the gymnasium after school tomorrow? I... I have something important to tell you!"

Ichinose Honami's slender hand trembled; she had a bad premonition.

The next day, a yawning Zhuge Linghao and Ayanokoji Kiyotaka were waiting for the elevator at the dormitory building.

"Ayanokoji, how did you sleep last night?"

"Very soundly. How about you?"

"I had a rough time, woke up several times! Isn't today the day points are distributed? Did you receive yours?"

Ayanokoji was just about to answer when he was interrupted by the sound of the elevator.

Inside the elevator stood Horikita Suzune, Kushida Kikyo, and others. Zhuge Linghao greeted them: "Good morning! I didn't expect to see you all together. Should we take a group photo? You're all such beauties, it would look great!"

"Good morning, Zhuge-kun, Ayanokoji-kun!" Kushida Kikyo replied sweetly.

"Are you coming in or not?" Horikita Suzune remained her usual ice-queen self.

"Coming, coming! I just finished eating a sweet potato. By the way, what did you all have for breakfast?"

No one paid him any mind. An awkward Zhuge Linghao took a deep breath, and then a sudden "rumble" sound came from his stomach.

"Pfft!"

The sound wasn't loud, but everyone in the elevator could hear it!

Don't panic! As long as you aren't embarrassed, the person who is embarrassed is someone else!

Zhuge Linghao said with a serious face: "One must have a sense of virtue. Ayanokoji, don't do that next time!"

After everyone in the elevator pinched their noses and stepped out, someone nearby called out: "Good morning, Kushida!"

Ichinose Honami waved her hand, looked at Zhuge Linghao standing next to Kushida Kikyo, and asked Kushida with some curiosity: "Is he your boyfriend?"

Kushida Kikyo looked troubled: "Eh? No, he's not!"

Ichinose Honami said thoughtfully: "Is that so?"

As if she had made up her mind, Ichinose Honami said to Zhuge Linghao with great energy: "Um, Zhuge-kun, can you come behind the gymnasium at six o'clock tonight? I have something to discuss with you~"

Zhuge Linghao stared at a certain indescribable area, and his head heated up as he agreed to Ichinose Honami.

Then, Ichinose Honami asked with a worried expression: "Have you guys received your personal points yet?"

The scene shifted to the classroom of Class 1-D.

On the podium, Chabashira said coldly: "The school system has experienced a minor malfunction, and the distribution of points for the first-year students has been delayed."

The horse-faced Yamauchi Haruki started squawking again: "The school's system is inadequate; shouldn't they give us some compensation? Like giving us extra points or something?"

Chabashira closed her eyes and replied: "There is nothing I can do about this. As soon as the problem is resolved, the points will be credited."

[Ding, detected that the school is intentionally delaying the distribution of student points. Can the host tolerate this? Triggering option mission...]

[Option A: The Disruptor. Immediately rush out of the classroom, use snake-like movements to avoid all security cameras (magic-modified), go to the store to buy a mask, then put it on and rush to the office of Acting Director Tsukishiro (magic-modified). Give Acting Director Tsukishiro (magic-modified) two slaps, then loudly "introduce yourself": My name is Ryuen Kakeru, if you have the guts, come find me in Class 1-C! After saying this, while the other party is still in a daze, quickly escape! Use snake-like movements again to avoid all cameras (magic-modified), return to the classroom, and with a constipated expression, bow and apologize to Chabashira: Sorry, Teacher, I had diarrhea just now, it was a total disaster, I didn't have time to report...]

[Option B: The Social Suicide Inducer. Make the school's responsible teacher take the fall! Take out the "little film" the host has treasured for a long time—ah, no, it's a video secretly recorded of Chabashira, in which she says with absolute certainty: Points are automatically credited on the 1st of every month. Please play this video on the class multimedia platform and loop it 10 times in front of all the students and Chabashira. After each playback, the host must mock Chabashira by saying: Teacher, are you socially dead yet?]

[Option C: The Protester. Although school system malfunctions are occasionally excusable, students have the right to protest! Please protest in this manner: Immediately take out transparent tape, stick it to your forehead, jump on the spot, raise your fist high, and passionately shout the slogan three times: "Are kings and nobles born with high status?" Then, brandish a broom and shout to the whole class: Minions, follow me, let's overthrow the school's oppression and rule!]

Zhuge Linghao, who had been reading for a long time, almost couldn't catch his breath!

[System, can I choose not to choose?]

[Ding, sure, hand over your life.]

[Sigh, I guess I have to choose C!]

After completing option C, as expected, the hero Zhuge Linghao was called out to the hallway by Chabashira-sensei to stand in punishment, and was required to hand in a 2,000-word apology letter to her tomorrow...

[Ding, collected 41 points of emotional value from the vicinity.]

Zhuge Linghao shook his head gloomily and silently recited: [System, open personal panel.]
