Don't Be So Easy to Tame; I'll Have Nothing to Feel Accomplished About! (Continued)

Some students had already come to their senses.

As expected, there were conditions, and it required money to buy it.

Isn't this just like what Chabashira-sensei said when we enrolled? As long as you have points, you can buy anything. Now it seems you can even buy your opponent to forfeit.

"So, if we want the students in Class B to throw the game and forfeit, we have to spend money? And 150,000 points! 150,000 points! I only have 150,000 points right now!"

The students who were bad at studying and sports immediately started shouting.

"Actually, you don't need to be so nervous."

At this moment, Yukimura also started speaking in the class group, "I'm basically no good at sports, but even if I'm ranked in the bottom ten, I'm not afraid of the exam."

In other words, Yukimura is a top student, but terrible at sports.

However, the penalty for being in the bottom ten is -10 points in all subjects, but for the top student Yukimura, there is absolutely no need to worry.

Because he's not afraid of losing 10 points.

Therefore, he will be at the bottom, one of the ten places from the bottom.

"Actually, Koenji- kun also abstained, right?"

At this moment, another student noticed something.

"I'll be responsible for calling that guy back before the Sports Festival really starts. He clearly has better athletic ability than me, but he doesn't use it at all. It's such a waste. I look down on him!"

"That's what Sudo said."

Clearly, even though he knew that if Koenji forfeited, Sudo would have a huge advantage against the other classes, Sudo still had his pride.

"Sudo, don't do anything foolish! There's no need to save that guy, Koenji!"

Students immediately began to advise him.

Since Koenji forfeited, they wouldn't get any points. And getting no points means finishing with 0 points, which would definitely take one of the bottom ten spots.

This is good news for struggling students.

So you absolutely must not let him come back to take the exam.

Hehe.

Meanwhile, Koenji was also checking the class group chat. Ever since Nakano told him that if he didn't make some compromises, he might be retaliated against by Class D, he had been paying some attention.

Now, look at these people, they have no offensive capabilities whatsoever, and their ulterior motives are crystal clear!

It's pointless.

Thinking this, Koenji tossed his phone aside and continued his bodybuilding workout.

The discussion in Class D stalled after Class B started paying extra for lenient teaching.

After all, that's 150,000 points, which is really hard to come by.

Some students who spend a lot of money now only have a few hundred thousand yuan left.

"It seems like not many Student Council will buy the spots that are considered 'easy admission'."

Horikita was also looking at the messages in the class group chat. Right now, she was in her dorm room and spoke to the boy sitting opposite her.

After the meeting, everyone gathered in Horikita's room.

The reason is...

Kushida finally realized she was going to be working for free, and that wasn't allowed.

So what was originally a collaboration between two people turned into a three-person alliance.

"Can't we discuss this in your room?"

This is what Horikita said to Nakano Yuu.

"My room is a boy's room, Horikita- kun, you're not thinking of coming in, are you? Like, what if people mistake me for your girlfriend or something?"

"Nakano Yuu said."

So, they chose Horikita's room.

There was also the option of going to Kushida's room, but Kushida firmly refused.

The reason given was that she was very popular, so many people would likely seek her out, making it inconvenient for her.

But Nakano Yuu knew the real reason why it was inconvenient: he had been there last night and had gone to sleep because he was tired, so he hadn't packed anything. He really couldn't let Horikita go over there.

Judging from the feedback in the class group, the students are worried that they will be among the bottom 10, and then they will fail the next written test because they will lose 10 points in all subjects and have to drop out of school.

Therefore, some people are interested.

However, some people are unwilling.

"I don't think this approach is good."

"Yes, even if the students in Class B go easy on us, based on our abilities, we'd only be at the bottom two or three, getting just a few points."

"And then there's the possibility that the points were used up, but they still ended up in the bottom few spots."

Such comments do exist.

For example, they say things like "pond" and "Yamauchi".

Seeing that the underachieving students didn't want to buy it, Horikita fell silent. She had specifically come with Nakano-kun for this, and they had already gotten Katsuragi to agree to use his entry form in exchange for it.

The deal was reached, but now the available spots are not selling.

Is this deal going to fail?

Horikita is feeling somewhat disappointed right now. Being suddenly asked to face off against her brother in this Sports Festival, especially since they're on opposing sides, is putting her under a lot of pressure.

Of course, she also hopes to improve herself.

However, the school's rules prioritize ability and points, so if she could get more points, say 10 million points, then her brother might accept her.

"Wait a minute."

"Nakano Yuu said."

"So, Kushida, how many people have contacted you so far?"

"Please wait a moment, there are quite a lot of people."

Meanwhile, Kushida was rapidly fiddling with her phone, or rather, replying to students who messaged her privately at lightning speed.

It's clear that Kushida is indeed very good at this; at least his hand speed is astonishing.

Nakano-kun also experienced it, and it was indeed extraordinary.

"Twelve people have tried to chat with me."

Kushida said.

"Boys and girls are both included."

"The physical fitness test hasn't been conducted yet."

Horikita found it unbelievable.

"Did someone actually message you privately?"

"Everyone is quite aware of their usual behavior."

Kushida said.

Horikita remained silent at this point.

"Sakura one, and Hasebe is another. These are the names on the confirmed list of those who will buy into the scheme."

These two lists are not surprising. Due to their health conditions, they are very likely to be at the bottom of the exams. Sakura and Hasebe's academic abilities are not high either, so a score of -10 in all subjects is indeed difficult to bear. Now that they have a chance to protect themselves, they are naturally prepared to do so.

And then--

Kushida added.

"Shinohara bought one too."

"Kanji Ike also chose to buy, while Yamauchi hoped for a lower price, as he only had 100,000 points left. Sotomura opted to pay in full upfront, and he wanted me to give him his payment QR code."

"Then Ike wants to put him in the same group as Koenji or Yukimura."

Being in the same group means that someone from Class B has withdrawn, and the bottom two spots are taken by students from Class B. Then, if they are grouped with someone like Yukimura, who is very bad, or someone like Koenji who has also withdrawn, then they can get a middle ranking and more points.

Absolutely brilliant!

In other words, those who were absolutely saying they wouldn't buy it in the class group just now have all bought it and are even hoping for a price reduction.

It's a truly surreal reality.

Horikita Suzune thought to herself.

Time quickly passed to the next day.

After school in the afternoon, the students came for physical tests as Kushida had urged them to. This was a necessary arrangement for a "Tian Ji horse racing" strategy, since only by planning and differentiating the students' abilities could they determine the best seed players, the average students, and then the very important cannon fodder group.

But.

Before that.

"Thank you so much, Kushida. I've decided to buy a spot."

Some students in the class have already chosen to buy their spots.

Although some people said in the class group yesterday that they wouldn't buy it, most people still did.

"Well, I just wanted to help everyone."

And there's no denying that Kushida enjoys these kinds of occasions.

"What is that?"

This left athlete Sudo speechless. "I could have helped so many people; I could have given them half a month to improve their physical fitness."

"Shut up, Sudo!"

However, someone immediately retorted to Sudo, "Not everyone can be a school idiot and an athletic genius like you."

"Hey, I heard you call me a 'study idiot'."

"Your actual academic ability is clearly terrible."

"You're not tall either, you know!"

The students immediately became chaotic again.

"Class D is truly impressed."

Horikita Suzune sighed.

"Your grades are pretty good."

"Nakano Yuu said."

Horikita is the fastest among the girls in Class D, and given her past martial arts training, she is indeed quite skilled. That's why people initially questioned why she, who is clearly excellent, was assigned to Class D.

Incidentally, the second place in the girls' 100-meter sprint was Onodera, who was a former member of the swimming club. The third place went to Kushida Kikyou, the fourth to Matsushita Chiaki, and the fifth to Karuizawa.

The ranking of fourth place, Matsushita Chiaki, is questionable, but the other rankings should be accurate.

Obviously, the girls' 100-meter test is over, and it's time for the boys' turn.

Hirata will also assist, apparently having borrowed an extra hand grip strengthener, so he's testing his grip strength as well. Nakano Yuu is currently waiting for them to bring the hand grip strengthener over.

However, it's worth mentioning that there was some minor commotion before the physical fitness test.

"Speaking of which... wouldn't it be better if we showed off our abilities in front of the girls?"

Originally, the test was supposed to be conducted together with men, but when a guy like Chi suggested it, it received a lot of support from other guys.

In other words, even a top student like Yukimura wanted to refuse.

Because.

Ordinary boys want to show off their abilities in front of girls, but that's only for those who are capable. Those who aren't capable feel a lot of pressure and even feel ashamed.

"This is really boring."

At that time Horikita said, "The efficiency is not high at all."
