A Points Crisis, an Expulsion Crisis, or a Scam?

Many people were unwilling to accept it.

Yukimura looked toward Kageya Shinjitsu without showing any anger.

In the end, he looked at Chabashira Sae and sat back down.

Still, it was obvious he wasn't satisfied.

Even if he couldn't measure up to him, he didn't believe he was inferior to all those people in Classes A and B.

The matter of using twenty million points to change classes had certainly caught everyone's attention.

Especially the students who were good at studying.

They had always felt that the bad students in their class were holding them back.

"Um, I'd like to ask: so far, how many students have managed to gather twenty million points? How many have entered Class A this way? Isn't that too many points?"

Horikita Suzune had been taking notes, intending to ask questions later.

Now, she couldn't help speaking up.

The class fell quiet as she spoke, clearly interested in the answer.

Twenty million points was a lot, even at a glance.

She wasn't someone who was bad with numbers.

Even if she saved the hundred thousand points she received each month without spending a single one, she'd only have 3.6 million after three years. It wouldn't be nearly enough.

"Not a single one."

"Of course, I mean no individual has managed to gather the full amount. I'm not counting points pooled by a class."

"The closest anyone came to collecting twenty million points alone was a third-year student a few years ago. He gathered twelve million, but much of it came from scamming new students, so he was expelled."

"That's why I said someone has displayed unprecedented ability."

"In less than a week, he figured out the school's rules and the personalities of the students in his class, reached an understanding with the other classes, and made the choice that benefited him most. I have to admit, that kind of judgment and communication skill is exceptional. He really isn't suited to Class D."

"And as for there being a lot of points, isn't that normal? If it were only two million or so, anyone could get that with ease. If hundreds of students could reach Class A, what would be the point of competing?"

Chabashira Sae spoke calmly. She didn't sound as if she were praising anyone, but many students still kept their eyes fixed on Kageya Shinjitsu.

"Then why is he in Class D?"

"If he's that good, shouldn't he be in Class A?"

"Or does that mean the school's evaluation criteria are flawed, too?"

"Whether it's the physical tests or the regular exams, if possible, I think I should be allowed to take them again."

Horikita Suzune had seized on the key point and spoke indignantly.

If he really was that exceptional, why hadn't he been placed in Class A?

It was proof that the school had made a mistake, wasn't it?

"Why are there so many fools? I thought you were a smart girl, Horikita."

"The school looks at more than just those things. Otherwise, why do you think Sudo, Kanji Ike, Yamauchi, and the others were admitted?"

"Your reason for being placed in this class has nothing to do with your academic ability or physical strength. Of course, the same goes for him."

Chabashira Sae spoke up directly.

Many students in the class frowned. What about their exams and everything else?

"Then what is it?"

Horikita Suzune asked in a serious tone.

"That's for you to find out. I don't know whether you already know, but someone else is probably quite clear on it."

Chabashira Sae seemed to have taken offense.

She kept bringing up "someone," as if he'd eaten all her rice.

She seemed to have nothing better to do than take jabs at him, and Kageya Shinjitsu was getting annoyed.

Whether they looked at him with hostility or something else didn't matter to him. This was what he deserved; it was only natural.

But it was disgusting how she kept provoking these idiots and picking on him.

"Chabashira-sensei, please stop talking about me all the time."

"If there's something you want to say, just tell them. If that won't work, ask me in private later."

Kageya Shinjitsu looked toward the podium.

He glared at her.

She was a pretty teacher, yet she kept doing things that disgusted him.

She was even more petty than Kikyo.

"Oh? You care about that? And are you threatening your teacher now?"

"Think whatever you like, but stop using me as an example."

Kageya Shinjitsu looked at the woman standing at the front of the classroom.

Every time that idiot woman spoke, another fool would stand up afterward.

Sure enough, someone soon seized the opportunity to make a scene.

"Sensei, you mentioned scamming people just now."

"Then doesn't this guy count as a scammer, too?"

"Does the school approve of him betraying his class and the school like this?"

Yamauchi Haruki shouted loudly, trying to stir up the class.

He still believed Kageya Shinjitsu had taken advantage of him.

"He did something like that, so he should be expelled! Then he should pay back his points to us."

"Yeah, exactly."

"I think that makes a lot of sense."

"He has to be expelled."

Kanji Ike and the others chimed in one after another.

Quite a few students in the class joined in.

They wanted to get their hands on Kageya Shinjitsu's points.

That was eighteen million points. If they got them, their whole class could live comfortably for a long time.

That business about Class D having 557 points didn't matter at all.

Chabashira Sae simply watched, smiling.

It was as if she had wanted to see this happen.

But soon she was disappointed. Kageya Shinjitsu showed no reaction at all, and he certainly didn't look afraid.

"They've raised the issue. What do you think?"

Chabashira Sae asked deliberately.

"What does it have to do with me? If the school thinks I scammed someone, then expel me. There's no need to waste time talking. Do you really think I can't survive outside this school? I'm not one of those idiots..."

"Let me remind you: talking to morons can turn you into one, too. You're already heading in that direction."

"According to the school's arrangement, Class D students are defective products. That makes the teacher a defective product, too. You can put on an act and fool the idiots, but don't treat me like one."

"I'll tell you plainly: I have no interest in this class. If you keep bothering me and trying to make me do things, I'll start thinking the teacher of Class D belongs in Class D for good—not just this year, but for the next two years as well, and even every year after that."

"Whether you're a teacher or a student, if you can't stand me and want to come after me, go ahead. I'll make every one of you regret it!!"

Kageya Shinjitsu looked straight at her, his expression mocking the rest of the class as well.

He didn't treat the person at the podium like a teacher at all.

As for those idiots, since they wanted him expelled, he'd start by getting them expelled instead.

They'd better not give him an opening in the future. He'd teach them all about the rules of this school.

He'd show them what a classroom of the survival of the fittest meant.

(งಠ_ಠ)ง(▼ヘ▼)o(▼皿▼メ)oo(▼皿▼メ)o..

"Let me tell you something else: if you're going to be a teacher, then be a teacher. Keeping up this unnecessary act of having your own agenda will be the death of you."

"Defective product."

Since she was so determined to cause trouble, he wouldn't hold back either.

Kageya Shinjitsu's words made Chabashira Sae's expression even uglier.

His classmates stared wide-eyed at the scene.

This classmate was seriously gutsy.

They could tell something had happened between the two of them.

At the same time, they felt insulted. This person had shown them what it meant to be called defective products.

He'd also shown them what it felt like to be looked down on.

"Simply wonderful! That fearlessness is quite something, Kageya BOY."

The beautiful man Koenji watched Kageya Shinjitsu take on the whole class. He clapped, clearly enjoying the show.

Horikita Suzune looked at Kageya Shinjitsu without saying a word. Someone like him...

Was he really that solitary?

Was he taking on everyone by himself? Was he truly not afraid?

"Kageya, it's too much to speak to a teacher like that."

Hirata stood up awkwardly.

Was conflict in this class becoming unavoidable again?

Some other students weren't about to let the opportunity pass, either. They wanted Kageya Shinjitsu punished.

Kageya Shinjitsu couldn't be bothered to pay attention to those idiots anymore.

"Now that the book's out, here's the third update—15,000 words in total. Please subscribe, send flowers, tip, bookmark, and vote for the monthly tickets."

Chapter 68: Point Crisis, Expulsion Crisis, Fraud?

Whether it was too much was one thing.

Whether he had the guts to say it was another.

Teachers usually didn't have students talk back to them like that.

Especially not in front of the class.

Chabashira Sae was one of the few who'd been treated that way.

Things had already reached this point.

Along with the earlier conflicts, those idiots had given Kageya Shinjitsu plenty of reason to hold a grudge.

He was already planning what to do next.

If they kept asking for trouble, he'd find a chance to have Karuizawa Kei isolate them with her group.

Then he'd find a chance to get them out of school.

He'd use the school's rules.

He'd already made his position clear.

If that idiot teacher wanted to play games, then he'd play along.

He'd turn Class 1-D into a complete mess, then leave.
