Chapter 326

Since there are cameras, it means the school will be watching them all the time.

Since they're constantly watching them, it means...

Will they really adjust the ratings and deduct money?

Hey, hey, hey, what if we end up with a negative balance and have to pay extra?

Did they initially lure them with 100,000 yuan, then set a trap to make them incur debt while attending school?!

But... why cover the camera?

And then, with just a snap of his fingers, the beautiful girls would start obediently doing their thing...

Isn't he a little too handsome?!

Do you know them?

"Alright, quiet down. I'm going to announce something now. Chabashira, if you want to listen, you can listen from the side. If you don't want to listen, go away. You don't have any authority here." Asakusa Toru casually tapped the table, saying, "After all, from the moment you repeated that sentence, I knew you were still that useless piece of trash."

"Wanting to get into Class A but not wanting to put in the effort, wanting to gamble on that one hope but unwilling to take the risk, always worrying about your damn risk management, drowning in your own dream."

"If you don't want to be promoted, then don't try."

"I'll drag everyone down with me," he said.

One sentence, two sentences, three sentences, four sentences.

The disrespectful attitude towards the homeroom teacher, the way he called her by her first name and even insulted her, the words that seemed somewhat cryptic but, judging from Chabashira Sae's changing expressions, were like a knife being plunged into her chest, and the final announcement.

A mysterious aura enveloped Asakusa Toru in an instant, and just looking at him made the other students in the class feel a sense of pressure.

Is this still Advanced Nurturing? Are we still high school students? Where have I ended up? And what does it mean to be promoted to Class A? What's the meaning of dragging everyone down with me?

"Let's hold hands, be friends, and over time, grow close and inseparable, like grasshoppers on the same string." Asakusa Toru continued softly, "You hold my hand, I hold yours, and we'll go to heaven together..."

"Or, let's go to hell together."

Side Story: Classroom of the Elite 3 - Everyone Scores Zero

"To make sure my words aren't just a riddle, I must first reveal the truth about this school to you."

"Snap--"

After snapping his fingers, Asakusa Toru seemed to have no intention of explaining anything, but instead kept his mouth shut and waited.

Obediently, Kushida Kikyo stood up and clasped her hands together.

"Everyone, look this way!" she said with a very friendly smile. "Based on the promotional materials provided by the school, you should all have a certain understanding of the school, right?"

As if to attract attention, Yamauchi raised his hand in response to the girl's question:

"I know, tuition is completely waived, and there's a guaranteed university admission after graduation!"

"..." Kushida Kikyo, who had been maintaining a smile, momentarily frowned when she saw that Yamauchi had answered. However, before anyone could react, she quickly regained her smile, making it easy to doubt whether they had seen it wrong.

"But this only applies to graduates of Class A!"

"Only those graduating from Class A can enjoy this privilege; only the class with the highest school evaluation can receive a recommendation for direct admission."

Everyone was somewhat surprised by Kushida Kikyo's sudden explanation.

Such a gentle, lovely, kind, cheerful, and approachable Angel, does she also know that guy?

However, compared to this unexpected event, everyone was clearly more concerned about what she said.

"Ha?"

"Isn't that fraud?!"

"Hey, hey, hey, does that mean I can't get into the university I want?!"

"It's okay, I still have 100,000 a month to spend as I please, so it doesn't really matter whether there are any recommendations or not, right?"

Do you think everyone is like you?

Wide eyes, disgruntled words, and a variety of reactions emerged amidst the chaos in Class D.

As expected.

"To clarify, the letter before your class name represents the school's initial evaluation of you," Asakusa Toru explained again, drawing everyone's attention back to them. "In other words, you are the most irreplaceable scraps, the worst and most hopeless students even within the entire grade..."

"-- Class D."

The humiliating words, like heavy hammer blows, struck the hearts of many, causing them to purse their lips, bite their teeth, and turn away...

Chabashira Sae.

Why haven't you interrupted him? Why haven't you stopped him?

Why... does your expression look so serious yet excited?

As the homeroom teacher, Chabashira Sae is the epitome of authority, the embodiment of power, and the spokesperson for the school's discourse.

Therefore, her attitude, her words, and her actions.

They all convey the school's will.

So even if it's like when they questioned me just now, I choose to repeat what I said before, like what Asakusa Toru said, to be a broken record.

This can be seen as a rebuttal to Asakusa Toru's words.

However, as if she had awakened some strange fetish after being insulted by Asakusa Toru, the black-haired, cold, and easy-to-give-up teacher in front of her stared intently at Asakusa Toru, her breathing rapid, so rapid that it created 'ripples,' rapid enough to be called 'Thunder Breathing,' and her body began to pulsate with her breathing.

Hey, hey, hey.

Where did this perverted female teacher come from?!

It's exciting, but that's not right. It shouldn't be like this. What we need is a guarantee of admission to higher education, and a fair evaluation from the school.

So you'd better speak up and deny it! He's smearing the school!

The prayers in one's heart are ultimately difficult to convey; even if they were spoken aloud, Chabashira Sae probably wouldn't choose to speak.

Hope had begun to ignite in her heart, especially after being insulted by Asakusa Toru.

Yes, that's right, he's right.

I should take the gamble, I should give it my all, I should sacrifice everything for it.

He can do it, he definitely can do it, such a wonderful start, such a perfect beginning.

This promotion to A is a sure thing.

"So from the beginning, I never expected you to salvage my evaluation, and you had no chance of raising your evaluation to a level that matches Class A." Asakusa Toru spoke again, uttering humiliating words. "If I hadn't spoken up, I imagine you would have just pretended to go through a month of school life until your evaluations were completely wiped clean."

"Hmm, thinking about it that way, I realize that what I said was somewhat wrong."

He seems to be reflecting on his actions; I knew it! He must have said something wrong!

Is it a recommendation for further education? Is it the school's evaluation of us? Or...?

Even if you hold hands, you won't get to heaven.

"You can only go to hell."

He said.

"You--"

Finally, someone couldn't hold back any longer. Just as he was about to point at Asakusa Toru and yell at him, he was interrupted the next second.

"Don't rush, I've pretty much finished explaining the riddles. You must be wondering why I said so much, right?" Asakusa Toru waved his hand and said, "Let's analyze and synthesize what I just said."

"The school's promise only applies to Class A. The school's evaluation of students is reflected in their class ranking. Given your average level of competence, your evaluations will only continue to decline until they are reset to zero."

With that, Asakusa Toru slapped his palms together.

"Hey, isn't that right? I think so, since you guys are so good at lowering evaluations but not at raising them, why don't we just lower them as much as possible? Anyway, I don't have any opinions on the Advanced Nurturing system. Instead of chasing after the so-called Class A graduation recommendation, why don't you all come and drag everyone down to hell with me?"

"The goal is for everyone to get zero points!"

Asakusa Toru raised his hands high.

But his words failed to stir any emotions in anyone.

"..."

All I received was silence, silence, blank stares, and looks as if I were a madman.

Even Chabashira Sae suddenly snapped out of her excitement.

Chabashira Sae: "..."

Does he know what he's saying?

Everyone got zero? Did they drag everyone down with them?

Isn't this blatantly challenging the authority of the school?

Thinking about it carefully, his actions are quite unusual. It's only the beginning of the school year! The opening ceremony hasn't even started yet, and he already knows so much. Is there really such a genius?

And that one glance, that one reprimand, was as if it saw right through me.

Was it investigated beforehand?

However... this is still an opportunity.

No one will believe his ravings, and he can't sway anyone.

But the truth he revealed in advance was absolutely true.

Only if the entire Class D knows in advance the truth that only graduates of the Class A can enjoy the privilege of being recommended for admission, and only if the entire Class D clearly understands in advance that points are linked to evaluation.

Only then will Class D have a clear goal and take action to achieve it.

The gap in the first month will not be easily widened.

We can win! We definitely have a chance this time!

The only problem is...

Asakusa Toru.

This student.

If he really intends to drag the entire grade down with him... even dragging Class D down to zero would be a significant obstacle.

What should I do?

The class teacher's power... there's no such thing as power.

The homeroom teacher's authority... was already swept to the ground and trampled on by him just now.

The class teacher's...

Chabashira Sae subconsciously glanced down and saw her unseen toes.

After a moment of silence, he quickly shook off his distracting thoughts.

She decided to observe for a while first.

Such methods... can only be used as a last resort.

Of all the things she could give, of all the bargaining chips she could offer.

This is the only thing that cannot be undone.

"Alright, now that I've made my goal clear, everyone should understand the greatness of my ambition." With a snap of his fingers, Asakusa Toru snapped his fingers again, "So now, it's time to collect the money."

"This guarantee fund was set up for everyone's benefit. Considering that everyone will be starting with zero points and can only spend the initial 100,000, the expenses will be considerable and life will be tough. In case anyone accidentally spends more than their balance, this fund will serve as a safeguard."

"It was involuntary, a forced levy. You can take it as me just trying to rob you if you want."

Asakusa Toru shrugged, touched his Personal Terminal, and then turned to stand in front of Sakura Airi.

"Here, transfer the money to me, 90,000, and I'll very kindly leave you 10,000."

Seeing that he seemed to be really starting to ask people for money, the other students in the class immediately started making a scene.

"You're not serious, are you?"

Why should we give you our money?

"Are you serious about getting zero points together?"

"This is extortion! The school will expel you!"
