Classroom of the Elite, I Only Want Your Rewards

It seems some boys have already spent over twenty thousand private points on a game console, making it hard not to wonder if they'll be eating dirt by the end of the month.

"Kushida-san, if you don't mind me asking," Horikita Suzune said, "how many private points do you have left right now?"

"Eh, I still have over fifty thousand. My recent spending has been a bit high, sorry." Kushida Kikyo blushed slightly; she had bought several high-end pieces of clothing, so naturally, she had spent quite a few points.

If even Kushida Kikyo had spent that much, there was no need to mention the others.

"It seems relying on you all is truly difficult." Horikita Suzune sighed deeply. "Since installment payments are possible, please tell her that I accept her conditions. I will pay her half of my private points every month until the balance is cleared."

Because she wasn't sure how many private points she would receive in the future, Horikita Suzune didn't dare set a fixed amount, so she had to be flexible.

Kushida Kikyo quickly said, "Horikita-san, you don't have to pay so much by yourself. If you just ask everyone, we could probably scrape together four hundred thousand private points, and besides, this is for the sake of the class."

"Forget it. What I want to know isn't just information about the class." Horikita Suzune's tone was indifferent; Suzuki Toru's words had provoked her.

Whether it was class points or private points, she wanted whichever would get her to Class A the fastest.

"Actually, I can help too. If I put in a little effort, everyone will understand." Kushida Kikyo volunteered, her eyes revealing a hint of persistence.

However, who could truly know what she was thinking inside?

"It has nothing to do with you. I don't need your help." Horikita Suzune rejected her proposal without a second thought.

Just as Kushida Kikyo inexplicably wanted to be her friend, she felt an inexplicable dislike for Kushida Kikyo as well—a dislike in every sense of the word.

Seeming to sense her inner thoughts, Kushida Kikyo opened her mouth, then finally nodded helplessly: "If you need anything next time, I'm always here for you."

After saying that, she lowered her head to operate her phone, sending a message to someone.

Before long, Kushida Kikyo informed Horikita Suzune that the other party had agreed to the conditions.

After school, the two could meet at the cafe to sign a contract.

Yes, the other party was named Kamuro Masumi, a student from Class A.

Horikita Suzune didn't think much of it.

Afternoon.

When she arrived at the cafe, Horikita Suzune noticed that the other party seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

"The information you wanted."

Seeing Horikita Suzune appear, she tossed a file onto the table and then took a sip of coffee as if nothing had happened, her long legs under the table shaking slightly.

"How much information is in here?" Horikita Suzune sat opposite her, wanting to pick it up to gauge its weight.

"For a mere four hundred thousand private points, how much information do you expect?" Kamuro Masumi scoffed, reaching out to tap the contract on top of the file. "Read the terms of the contract first. If there are no issues, sign it."

Horikita Suzune examined it carefully; it was mostly consistent with what she had been told, only with the addition of a final deadline.

She had to pay off the remaining balance within six months, or it would be considered a breach of contract, requiring a penalty of five times the amount—two million private points.

Six months...

Horikita Suzune hesitated for a moment, but she steeled her resolve. Class points could be converted into private points, and no matter how bad Class D was, they wouldn't end up with nothing.

Paying over sixty thousand private points a month was a bit difficult, but that was only for the time being; she was confident she could pay off this debt within half a year.

"I can sign, but how do I ensure this information is authentic and reliable?" Horikita Suzune wasn't stupid; she had even considered this point.

"Look at the guarantor next to the contract. Mashima-sensei is our Class A homeroom teacher. He has already reviewed this document and is willing to act as a guarantor." Kamuro Masumi replied with some impatience.

It seemed there were no issues.

With that thought, Horikita Suzune picked up a pen and wrote her name. There were two copies, and she kept one for herself.

"I have things to do. See you next time." Kamuro Masumi took the contract and didn't want to stay for even a second longer.

Horikita Suzune began to feel suspicious—could they be running off with the money?

However, when she saw the contents of the file, she immediately set her mind at ease; the other party hadn't lied to her.

After all, it was content written by Suzuki Toru himself; it was impossible for it to disappoint Horikita Suzune.

Well, how could he possibly disappoint his own debtor?

Chapter 37: It Might Even Go Up

The following afternoon, Horikita Suzune decided to announce her information to the entire class.

"Everyone, I have something to say. Please wait a moment."

Taking advantage of the fact that school had just ended, she stopped her classmates in time, instantly drawing many gazes.

However, some people glanced at her and continued to pack their bags, preparing to leave the classroom.

Seeing this, Horikita Suzune couldn't help but frown, especially as the girls began to show surprised expressions and started whispering to each other.

"Is something the matter, Horikita-san?" a boy asked gently.

Judging by his appearance, he was definitely a handsome, popular guy. Just seeing his smile made people feel close to him, and he was very capable of winning the favor of girls.

Hirata Yosuke.

The most popular boy in the class, he had been at the top of the class hierarchy from the start, the so-called "warm guy" type of handsome.

Well, compared to the other boys in the class, Hirata Yosuke was truly the strongest contender.

Horikita Suzune took a deep breath, then said with an expressionless face, "What I am about to say is very important. I won't stop any fools who insist on leaving, but if you regret it later, please don't complain."

Her tone was so stiff that Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, standing beside her, was left speechless.

Even as socially inept as he was, he at least knew how to interact with others; her tone sounded exactly like she was mocking them.

Sure enough, someone soon shouted in dissatisfaction, "Who cares what you have to say? I have club activities later, I don't have time to listen to your nagging here!"

A student who looked like a delinquent picked up his bag and turned to walk out of the classroom.

To this, Horikita Suzune merely watched the scene coldly; she would not meddle in other people's business.

The only reason she wanted to announce this information to Class D was because she wanted to gather useful help; she didn't care about anyone else.

And this delinquent happened to be someone Horikita Suzune had excluded from her plans from the start.

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka watched the back of the person leaving; he knew him, his name was Sudo Ken, and he had a short temper.

However, his athletic ability was excellent, and he had recently passed the selection for the basketball team.

As soon as Sudo Ken left, several boys looked at each other; they were Sudo Ken's friends, and they didn't know whether it was better to stay or leave.

"Horikita-san?" Kushida Kikyo looked at Horikita Suzune with some concern, with several other girls standing beside her.

"Is there anyone else who wants to leave?" Horikita Suzune ignored Sudo Ken's actions. "If not, I will try to keep it brief and not waste too much of your time."

Her gaze swept over the others; Hirata Yosuke and Kushida Kikyo were students with excellent reputations in the class, and another was the queen of the girls' group, Karuizawa Kei.

Of course, there were also some students with more distinct personalities.

For instance, there was a student who was looking at himself in a mirror as if no one else was around; his name was Koenji Rokusuke, and he was rumored to be the heir to some conglomerate.

However, Horikita Suzune looked down on most of the people here.

"Starting next month, we will no longer receive one hundred thousand private points. Your happy lives are about to come to an end."

Horikita Suzune's voice was extremely cold, instantly plunging the whole class into shock.

"You're lying!"

"Stop joking around. Who told you this? Chabashira-sensei didn't say anything about it!"

"Boring!"

As expected, almost everyone looked at Horikita Suzune with hostility.

It was as if they would start making personal attacks if she didn't provide a reasonable explanation right now.

"Everyone, calm down. I think Horikita-san must have some evidence if she's saying this," Hirata Yosuke quickly comforted them, while looking at Horikita Suzune; he was also confused.

"This school is based on meritocracy. Each class represents the school's evaluation of its students. The grading standard is something called class points. Currently, every class has one thousand class points. It is positively correlated with private points, with an exchange rate of one to one hundred."

Speaking to this point, Horikita Suzune revealed a mocking smile.

"That is why we were issued one hundred thousand private points this month. As long as the class points change, the private points for the next month will also change. Can you understand that?"

One could see shocked expressions appearing on many people's faces, but some reacted quickly.

"Tch, I thought you were going to say something important. So it's just this!" Someone looked at Horikita Suzune with a grin. "We still have one thousand class points right now, and they haven't changed, so we'll still get one hundred thousand private points next month."

This was indeed true; the balance could be checked on their phones at any time, and there were no signs of any changes.

"You scared me, you said that like it was nothing."

"Eh, does that mean our private points will go up even more in the future?"

"That's great, I was worried it wouldn't be enough to spend."

Voices of relief appeared in the class one after another, making Horikita Suzune frown. Are these people idiots?

Even after explaining it to this extent, why would they think their points wouldn't decrease, and why would they even fantasize about their points increasing?

At this moment, Horikita Suzune felt a deep sense of despair for this class.

Fortunately, Hirata Yosuke could keep up with her line of thinking.

"Could it be that Horikita-san has grasped the situation regarding the increase or decrease of class points?"

However, Horikita Suzune shook her head. "I only know that we are currently undergoing exams from the school. The results of the exams will appear next month, and the class points will also change based on the exam results."

It wasn't just that; she explained the current situation in more detail, including the truth about the class divisions and the graduation privileges of Class A.

"Only excellent people belong in Class A, and you are just a group of students judged by the school as trash, which is why you are in Class D. It's pathetic."
