How About Teacher Chazhu Being My Girlfriend?

On the posted paper, Sakura, the highest of the three, had a score of thirty-nine with a red line drawn above it. In other words, anyone with a score lower than Sakura's would fail. The lowest score was Ike's thirty-two.

The last person was Kei Karuizawa, an expected result.

Actually, if one were to follow the standards of the original work, all of them would have passed. The culprit behind this outcome was...

"Shinomiya-kun actually got a perfect score?"

"Is he really that smart!"

That's right, the culprit behind their failure was Shinomiya Ju Fan. To be honest, except for the last few questions, the exam was far too simple. For someone who had gone through the exam-oriented education system of China, it was just too easy.

On top of that, his brain was currently functioning exceptionally well, and due to the education he received in this world, his internal pride would not allow him to cheat on an exam. This resulted in him single-handedly raising the average. Most of the class scored below sixty. There were only a few high scorers. It is worth mentioning that the guy Koenji scored ninety.

Of course, he only did this because this exam was inconsequential; if it were an exam involving expulsion, he wouldn't mind holding back a little.

"Teacher Chabashira, please don't joke around. Expulsion is not something to be joked about."

"Even if you say that to me, I'm in a difficult position. These are the school's rules; you should prepare yourself."

"Sudo, you idiot, you actually passed. That's impossible."

"Are you looking for a fight? I've been studying seriously, you know."

"I don't even know who it was that said they wouldn't participate in this kind of thing back then!"

Ike successfully voiced Ju Fan's inner thoughts; in a sense, it was indeed a miracle that Sudo managed to pass.

"Let me add one more thing. This school is under national management and prides itself on a high rate of advancement to higher education and employment. This is common knowledge. Most people in this class probably have goals for further education or employment as well."

This was a matter of course; everyone who came to this school aimed for this, otherwise, it would be meaningless. It is said that students who graduate from here can get into places that are usually very difficult to be accepted into. There are even rumors of guaranteed admission to top-tier universities.

"However... there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. To realize the benefits of employment and further education, one must advance to Class A. This school surely won't provide any guarantees to students outside of that."

Hmm, it was practically a scam. Everyone who came to this school aimed for further education or employment. Now, being told that none of these things could be guaranteed—no one would accept that. Of course, whether this was a lie fabricated by Teacher Chabashira to push them to advance to Class A, Ju Fan wasn't entirely sure. Because in his previous life, he had only finished watching the second season of the anime. He was completely unaware of the plot after that.

"How could this be... I've never heard of such a thing! This makes no sense."

"Don't be so nervous. Didn't we advance to Class C in the first month? There will always be a way."

"There's no such simple logic in this world."

Yukimura, who had participated in the swimming remedial lessons with Ju Fan earlier, seemed particularly unable to accept this and became flustered.

"That's enough talk for now. Shinomiya and Horikita, come with me."

The classroom seemed to have fallen into chaos because of this matter. Ju Fan and Suzune were called out separately by Teacher Chabashira. Perhaps she had something to tell them.

Afterward, Teacher Chabashira closed the door, led the two to the rooftop of the school building, lit a cigarette, and put it in her mouth to smoke.

"Teacher Chabashira, isn't it a bit inappropriate to smoke in front of students?"

"What, do you want to try it too, Shinomiya? As a boy, you should be at an age where you're curious about these things."

Teacher Chabashira didn't get upset because she was stopped by Ju Fan; instead, she held the cigarette she had been smoking toward him. She seemed to want to see his reaction. To be honest, looking at the marks on the filter, Ju Fan felt a little tempted.

"Teacher Chabashira, please don't make such jokes. We aren't adults yet! You are violating school rules by doing this. Teacher, what exactly do you want with us?"

Suzune's sharp figure blocked Ju Fan, and she looked at Teacher Chabashira with vigilance. Well, even if Suzune didn't do that, Ju Fan wouldn't be tempted by such a thing... probably.

"Hmph~, just kidding. I won't corrupt your little boyfriend."

"Little... Teacher Chabashira, if you keep joking like this, I'll get angry! We are just ordinary friends."

Hmm, Teacher Chabashira didn't look like a teacher at all right now; she was a bit too frivolous. Or rather, it seemed like there wasn't a single normal teacher in this school.

"No more jokes. You should know why I called you out, right?"

"Isn't it to give us a reward for our actions?"

"While that is one aspect, there are other purposes. How about this, I'll give you a special service. For only ten thousand points, I can give you anything you want to buy."

Teacher Chabashira revealed a playful smile, seemingly wanting to see how the two would react.

"Isn't it free?"

"Shinomiya, don't be too greedy."

"Then, Teacher Chabashira, how about being my girlfriend?"

"Ju Fan, don't make such jokes. It's too disrespectful to Teacher Chabashira... I'm very sorry, Teacher. This person just likes to make bad jokes; please don't mind him."

Naturally, Ju Fan suffered the iron fist of Suzune's judgment. A small bump was clearly swelling on his head; she really hit hard. Fortunately, after this period of time, he had almost gotten used to it. What a sad state of affairs.

"Sorry, sorry... What I really want next is this: Teacher Chabashira, please sell me the authorization to install security cameras throughout the school."

"No, that's impossible. Let's talk about you being my boyfriend instead... Horikita, a girl who is too serious won't be popular, you know. The school cannot give you that kind of authorization."

"Then how about selling me the authorization to install cameras in the special building?"

Start with an outrageous demand, then state a condition the other party is more likely to accept. This increases the chances of getting what you want. This was just a small negotiation tactic.

"Shinomiya, why do you want such a thing?"

"I just feel insecure because that's the only place in the school without cameras."

"I'll take your word for it. I agree to this deal. But you have to pay for the cameras yourself... So, Horikita, is there anything you want? Or perhaps some information?"

"No, Teacher Chabashira, there is nothing I want. I will obtain what I want on my own."

Horikita refused Teacher Chabashira's deal in a very cool manner, which was quite typical of her. It was just a bit of a waste; it was obvious that Teacher Chabashira was paying for these things out of her own pocket. She wouldn't have even refused if they had asked for a laptop. Horikita was still too upright and didn't know how to take advantage of the situation.

"Suit yourself. I'll throw in a piece of information as a bonus. Regarding the final exams, pay close attention to the upperclassmen. Do your best, and keep a close eye on your classmates as well; they might become obstacles to your promotion to Class A. That is all I have to say."

"Teacher, since Horikita doesn't want it, could you give that privilege to me instead... There are still things I want."

"No, everyone only gets one chance! Hurry back now, class is about to start."

Sure enough, the moment Teacher Chabashira's words fell, the school bell began to ring...
