Horikita Suzune's Flaw, The End of Daily Life

Hidden rules?

Hearing these words from Money Brother, Fan Gege, who was watching the anime in front of his computer, sat up straight.

He had been on the verge of being bored to tears by the conversation between Horikita Suzune and Ayanokouji Kiyotaka regarding their self-introductions.

The appearance of Money Brother had just managed to pique his curiosity once again.

"Hidden rules?"

In the animation, Horikita Suzune narrowed her eyes slightly, then pretended that she already knew about the hidden rules, attempting to fish for information from Money Brother.

Following that, the two engaged in a verbal skirmish over whether or not Horikita Suzune actually knew about the hidden rules.

The final conclusion was that Horikita Suzune was seen through by Money Brother, revealing that she actually had no idea about the hidden rules.

"Finally, it feels a bit like a battle of wits."

Fan Gege's eyes brightened; he really liked the dialogue that had just taken place.

As expected, this was the right time for a timely reveal, rather than shifting the topic to things like self-introductions.

It wasn't that such plot points weren't funny, but they were appearing in the wrong place.

"How can you prove that you know the hidden rules?"

In the animation, the black-haired girl narrowed her beautiful eyes, "Perhaps you don't actually know either, and you're just bluffing."

According to what Money Brother had just said, it was indeed possible that he only vaguely sensed something was wrong, but didn't actually know what these so-called hidden rules were.

It was very likely that he was trying to fish for information himself.

"Trying to use my evidence to get information? It's a pity I don't have a hobby of being a sucker."

Hearing Horikita Suzune's words, Money Brother shook his head.

"He says he doesn't have a hobby of being a sucker, yet he specifically spent two thousand yen just to get someone to give up their seat to an old lady."

"Maybe Money Brother thinks that's a good deed and doesn't count as being a sucker?"

Watching Money Brother's actions in the anime, Fan Gege's eyes widened.

He had a premonition that Money Brother was about to create the highlight of this episode.

"Then I'll show you a little something."

After saying this, Money Brother smiled slightly and pulled out his student terminal.

Name: Dokuho Kouya
Class: Class 1-B
Points: 1,600,000

"How much?"

"1.6 million?!"

"Money Brother is a beast! While Horikita is still saving points, Money Brother has actually multiplied his points by 16!"

"By the way, is no one paying attention to Money Brother's name? That's Kouya, the same surname as that Kouya-sensei who draws doujinshi!"

"Klee doesn't know what you're talking about, oh."

"Lol, why are you acting so innocent?"

Seeing that the content of the chat was taking a turn for the worse, Fan Gege hurriedly banned the viewer who had brought up Kouya-sensei.

Just kidding.

His stream was a wholesome stream.

He would never allow them to discuss the works of Kouya-sensei.

"I was actually looking forward to your performance, but seeing that you're a student from Class D, I feel like I'm likely to be disappointed."

"Good luck, Horikita-san."

After exchanging names, Dokuho Kouya walked off elsewhere, disappearing from the frame.

Fan Gege pressed the pause button and frowned as he shared his thoughts, "Money Brother's words just now might be implying that students in Class D are much worse off."

"Combined with the red-haired guy from the self-introduction, and the behavior of the male and female leads on the bus, that should be what he meant."

"Perhaps the hidden rule of this school is that the closer a class is to Class A, the more excellent they are, and the further away they are from Class A, the worse they are."

"Doesn't that mean everyone in Class B is at Money Brother's level?"

"That shouldn't be the case. I feel like Money Brother is being built up as a master; if everyone in a class had that level of skill, wouldn't the buildup be wasted?"

"But even so, there must be characters in Class A who are stronger than Money Brother."

After hearing Fan Gege's analysis, the netizens watching the stream began to discuss it heatedly.

But because there were too many people, it basically turned into one-sided opinions, and no real discussion could take place.

"Let's keep watching; there will definitely be hints later on."

Fan Gege became interested and continued to watch the plot of the animation.

At the club orientation, Money Brother made his grand finale appearance, shattering the atmosphere the Student Council president had carefully cultivated.

During the swimming lesson, the instructor proposed that the winners between the boys and girls would receive 5,000 private points, but Horikita Suzune and Ayanokouji Kiyotaka didn't pay it any mind.

In the classes that followed, Class D's performance was a total mess; seeing this, Horikita Suzune and Ayanokouji continued to complain about how strange the school was.

Fan Gege frowned as he watched.

After pressing the pause button, he began to share his analysis, "I think Horikita's character design is the type who has strong analytical skills and a quick mind, but is terrible at gathering information."

"Look, Horikita noticed something was wrong with the school on the very first day, and she even learned about the existence of the school's hidden rules from Money Brother."

"Logically speaking, Horikita should have taken action next to investigate what these hidden rules actually are. The audience loves watching that kind of plot."

"But, nothing!" Fan Gege clapped his hands excitedly, "Horikita discovered the problem at the start of the term, but as the end of the month approaches, she's still stuck at the stage of just discovering the problem."

"Horikita hasn't made any effort to solve the problem at all, or at least, we can't see where she's put in any effort."

"Yet, looking at her conversations with Money Brother, we can tell she isn't stupid."

"That's why I feel Horikita is the type who has a quick mind but is terrible at gathering information."

"If no one proactively provides her with information, she might graduate without ever knowing what these so-called hidden rules are."

Fan Gege stated his opinion on Horikita.

"That actually seems to be the case."

"She found problems at the start of school, at the convenience store, during the swimming lesson, and in class, but she never thought about solving them."

"She really won't eat unless the food is delivered right to her mouth."

"High EQ: Strong analytical skills. Low EQ: All talk, no action."

The netizens felt Fan Gege's analysis made a lot of sense, and the comments they posted were all in support of his theory.

The anime's plot continued to progress.

The second month of school arrived.

The students of Class D sat in the classroom with grave expressions; their faces were gloomy, as if shrouded by dark clouds.

The once lively and noisy classroom had become unusually cold and quiet. Gone were the laughter and active atmosphere of the past; the air was filled with a heavy, oppressive feeling that made it hard to breathe.

"Finally, something happened."

Fan Gege's eyebrows arched slightly, and he revealed a gloating smile.

In the anime, it wasn't until the homeroom teacher Sae Chabashira appeared that someone in Class D finally broke the silence.

"Teacher, why haven't this month's points been deposited?" A background male student raised his hand and asked with an ugly expression.

"Hondo, I should have already told you at the start of the term that the school deposits points on the 1st of every month."

Homeroom teacher Sae Chabashira rested her hands on the desk, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly as a cold smile appeared on her face, "The school has undoubtedly already sent the points to you for this month."

"But... we just didn't receive any points," the background student named Hondo asked, confused.

"Heh, even now, you still haven't discovered the truth?" Sae Chabashira's lips curled into a sneer, as if mocking the incompetence and stupidity of the other party.

At this moment, time seemed to freeze, and the surrounding air became heavy, sending a chill down one's spine.

Fan Gege, who was watching the anime, understood instantly, stating the truth a step ahead of the beautiful teacher in the animation.

"The school sent you points, but the amount sent was zero!"
