Classroom of the Elite, It's Not About Meritocracy, It's About Me Ruling the World! 42

"..."

I see.

When things are bad enough, no matter how much you improve, it's ineffective; it just changes from a five-thousand-point deduction to a one-thousand-point deduction.

Following this line of thought.

It's uncertain whether the people in Class D are even willing to believe the words of Hirata Yosuke and the others; they might even harbor a sense of wishful thinking, believing it to be a lie.

Thinking of this.

Kijima Tsukur frowned; this was indeed somewhat unexpected.

He himself aimed for the entire class to graduate from Class A, so naturally, the more class points and savings, the better.

Originally, according to his estimates, after the information was made public.

The class points of the four classes, should have been at least five hundred points each.

Class B and Class C both met expectations, with Class B even nearly surpassing Class A; only this Class D felt lower than expected.

The plan needs adjustment.

That Class D is trash to this extent is both a good thing and a bad thing.

The downside is that Class D is so incompetent it exceeds expectations, and the upside is naturally that Class D is so incompetent it exceeds expectations.

"Yamamura."

"Yes~"

Yamamura Miki hurriedly hugged her chair, trotted to the podium, and set it down.

She was already getting used to it; Kijima Tsukur calling her was basically for things like this.

Watching Kijima Tsukur stand up, the people around him subconsciously scattered. He walked to the podium, sat down, looked at the people below, and held up two fingers:

"Two things. First, regarding the midterm exam."

"I believe that with everyone's grades, you shouldn't need others to urge you to study, but just to be safe, Sakayanagi will lead everyone in holding study sessions."

"..."

The crowd didn't say much.

After all, this is Class A; they don't need Kijima Tsukur to explain it, as they are well aware of the importance of studying.

There are no students in Class A who will fail an exam!

Even if they fail now, they will definitely catch up on their own by the next exam.

"And then."

Kijima Tsukur turned his head to look at Katsuragi: "Katsuragi, buy last year's quizzes and midterm exam papers from the upperclassmen, with a limit of five thousand personal points. Any problems?"

"Hm?"

Katsuragi stood up and frowned: "Buy exam papers? What does this mean?"

"Do you remember what homeroom teacher Mashima just said?"

Kijima Tsukur explained with a calm expression: "He said, 'I believe there will be ways to avoid failing and survive the exams.' Simply taking the exams normally cannot guarantee avoiding failure."

"I suspect there is a way to pass the exams with one hundred percent certainty, and the only thing I can think of right now is buying last year's papers from the upperclassmen. Any problems?"

"Wait a minute."

Totsuka Yahiko frowned, somewhat dissatisfied:

"In that case, aren't five thousand personal points too few? Aren't you bullying them?"

"Totsuka, five thousand is a reasonable number."

Katsuragi shook his head, pacifying him: "I have no problems."

"If necessary, these personal points can be paid for by me personally."

Kijima Tsukur explained calmly:

For Class A, spending five thousand personal points is a very reasonable number.

After all, with Class A's academic performance, they don't even need these exam papers.

The stronger the strength, the more bargaining chips one has, and naturally, the fewer personal points need to be spent.

If it were Class C or Class D.

The upperclassmen would certainly size them up and demand more personal points.

Regarding this matter, the others had no objections; Katsuragi felt that as long as he could negotiate it, it would be fine.

"The second thing."

Under the confused gazes of the crowd, Kijima Tsukur spoke in an indifferent tone:

"You are now permitted to hand over your private points to me!"

Chapter 39: Your Majesty, Why Are You Rebelling?

"Huh?"

Hashimoto Masayoshi and the others were instantly dumbfounded.

As long as it was something beneficial to the class, they weren't unwilling to pool their class points.

Otherwise, If it were just about saving money, they could do that themselves; there was no need to hand their private points over to someone else. The students of Class A had that much self-control.

But the problem was...

What was this guy Kijima Tsukur saying? Permitted to hand over their private points?

"Hmm?"

Katsuragi looked at Kijima Tsukur, frowning as he asked, "What do you need private points for?"

"To give to Class D."

"Huh?"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Except for a few, the students of Class A stood up in unison, staring at Kijima Tsukur on the podium with expressions of shock.

Katsuragi's brow furrowed even deeper:

"Kijima, what is the meaning of this?"

"Don't worry, let me explain the rules to you."

Kijima Tsukur stood up, walked to the front of the podium, looked at the people below, and held up a finger:

"You can choose to hand your private points over to me, but they must be in multiples of thirty thousand—for example, thirty thousand, sixty thousand, ninety thousand, and so on."

"You need to consider this carefully. Once you decide to hand these private points over to me, you will be required to hand over an equal amount of private points every month from now on."

"Then, I will distribute these private points to the students in Class D who need them, in shares of thirty thousand per person."

"Based on my estimation, since Class D is in such a pathetic state, there should be quite a few people who spent all their private points in the first month. They must be very short on private points right now."

"Of course, I will sign a contract with them. Any private points Class D receives from the school in the future will be handed to me first, and I will be the one to redistribute them."

"If there is any surplus beyond thirty thousand, those points will be ours; the excess will be returned to you. If there is a shortfall, you will have to accept the loss."

"Therefore, the amount of private points required might not be that high."

"The returned points will be handled on a first-come, first-served basis. Whoever hands their points to me first will have priority in receiving the returns."

"Those who want to hand over their private points to me, do it as soon as possible."

"..."

Silence.

The entire Class A was deathly quiet.

Looking at Kijima Tsukur on the podium, the students of Class A were stunned.

It was over.

This wasn't a case of "The subject is ready to fight to the death, so why has Your Majesty surrendered first?"

This was completely a case of "Your Majesty, why are you rebelling?"

At this moment.

Hashimoto Masayoshi and the others had only one question in their minds.

Why did he think they would hand their private points over to him, only for them to be given to people in another class?

What on earth was this guy thinking?

"I object."

Sakayanagi Arisu raised her hand to state her position.

The pleasant smile she usually wore was gone.

After all, she couldn't see through Kijima Tsukur at all; she had never seen anyone like him before.

But Sakayanagi Arisu knew one thing.

She needed to raise a banner and stand in opposition to Kijima Tsukur. As long as she did that, those who opposed him would naturally gather on her side.

"Heh..."

At this moment, a member of the Sakayanagi Faction let out a scoff: "I object too. I don't understand what the point of doing this is at all."

His name was Morishige Takuro.

Although he didn't compare to the likes of Kamuro Masumi, he was still considered one of the core members of the Sakayanagi Faction. He had a hot temper, but he knew how to exercise restraint.

Having endured this since the start of the school year, they simply couldn't hold back any longer.

"No, there are still benefits."

The one who answered wasn't Kijima Tsukur, but Katsuragi, who spoke with a furrowed brow:

"If we could obtain the authority to redistribute a portion of Class D's points, we could completely control them. It would become nearly impossible for Class D to unite and oppose the higher-ranking classes in the future."

This was the benefit for Class A.

Even without Kijima Tsukur, everyone could distinguish the pros and cons.

"Heh... Katsuragi?"

Morishige Takuro slammed his hand against the desk, unable to contain his rebuke: "Let's say you're right, then let me ask you: is there any necessity for it?"

Exactly!

The question wasn't whether there were benefits, but whether it was necessary!

A rotten class like Class D, which had its class points deducted to zero despite knowing the rules.

Was there any need to control them?

And to spend Class A's private points every month to subsidize this trash?

Wanting a return on investment?

They didn't even dare to think about it.

For a rotten class like this, they probably wouldn't even break even by the time they graduated.

Even Katsuragi felt there was no real necessity; a rotten class like Class D simply didn't belong in their field of vision.

Class A's opponents should naturally be Class B.

Even now, no one believed in Kijima Tsukur's policy of having the entire class promote to Class A, and it was fundamentally impossible for them to believe it.
