"Yamauchi really wasn't on guard at all, and directly told Ibuki that our initial points were set to 0."

Horikita sat down, watching Hachiman play with the campfire, then sighed helplessly, pressing his left hand against his right elbow.

"Isn't it great?" Hachiman said. "Although we haven't experienced many Special Exam yet, I think this school will definitely have some brutal exams, such as requiring someone in our class to drop out."

"Society doesn't always see situations like this, where companies are laid off because of poor performance."

"So someone has to be laid off, and for us, there's a possibility that someone might drop out during the Special Exam, or we might even have to choose one student to drop out ourselves," Hachiman said.

"Isn't that terrifying?"

And one girl rode Hachiman.

This is Kei Karuizawa with a single ponytail.

Her friend Sato went to line up for a shower, but she was still here.

Rather, there are a dozen or so students around the campfire now, and Ibuki, being from another class, accepted Kushida's help, but she also knows that half of the students in Class C don't welcome her.

So she stayed in the corner by herself, and Yamauchi saw that she was alone, so he went over to her.

Everyone watched the figure in the Yamauchi as it moved away.

But I was quickly drawn to the topic that Hachiman was talking about.

How could they do this, forcing everyone to choose their classmates to drop out of school?

"It's terrifying, but we can't rule out the possibility that such a situation could occur," Hachiman said. "It's a very difficult choice."

"My dad got laid off," a student suddenly said.

This made the atmosphere at the scene seem a bit tense.

At this moment, Kushida struck up a conversation.

"What if something like this happens in our class? I don't want anyone to be treated so unfairly," said Kushida the little angel.

She displayed a slightly sorrowful, yet saintly demeanor.

Hachiman, who knows her well, knows that this expression is mostly genuine.

Although Kushida is a problem child, she does make friends with everyone and gets busy with all sorts of troubles for her "friends".

Therefore, this statement is most likely from the heart.

So, now that the topic of classmates dropping out of school is brought up, aside from the oppressive atmosphere, is there no one who objects?

For example, doesn't Hirata object?

Of course not, because Hirata has already gone into the shower room to take a shower.

So it's not a problem to talk about this topic now that he might explode.

Moreover, it can also serve as a preventative measure for the classmates.

Hachiman continued.

"If that happens, there are two options," Hachiman said. "One of them is to collect 20 million yen. With 20 million yen, you can go to the class you want, or you can avoid being expelled once."

"So we can use money to keep this student who was expelled from school."

"And 20 million seems difficult, but if it's split evenly, it only costs 500,000 per person," Hachiman said.

Oh.

Each person has to pay 500,000.

Almost at the time Hachiman said this, because Kushida- chan had led the group in not wanting to lose members, and was also worried about what would happen if she were expelled, so everyone else should also oppose someone dropping out.

Result.

They felt that if they hadn't been expelled, they wouldn't have wanted to spend 500,000 yuan.

Because 500,000 is a number of points that they would need to accumulate over 10 consecutive months to reach even with their current class evaluation scores.

Although it's possible that with Special Exam, class evaluation scores might rise, leading to an increase in everyone's living expenses.

But.

500,000!

You can use it like money in Shopping Street and schools.

That's equivalent to 500,000 yen in purchasing power. Are you going to spend it all in one exam?

Although only a dozen or so students were warming themselves by the fire, half of them already looked reluctant.

Hachiman continued.

"But I won't choose that option," Hachiman said. "Saving 500,000 yen isn't easy, and I don't want to spend it like that."

"But don't you find it hard to accept just watching your classmates drop out of school?" Kushida the little angel continued.

She still has that saintly air about her.

This made some students who felt their performance was mediocre and might be expelled feel reassured after hearing her words.

Kushida is on their side.

But.

"What if it's Yamauchi who drops out?" Hachiman said to Kushida. "I'm willing to pay 500,000 points if it's either you, Kushida, or Hirata who drops out, but I'm not willing if it's Yamauchi."

"... This kind of thing..." Kushida seemed to be struggling with it.

This refers to the fact that if faced with an exam that requires someone to drop out, Hachiman is determined to drop out.

But that's not what she's focusing on right now.

Because.

Hachiman just mentioned her name in his words.

If Kushida, you drop out of school.

If Kushida, you drop out of school.

Hachiman Hikigaya, what do you mean by this? Do you want her to drop out of school?

Didn't she help you with the exam? How could you be so cruel?

Thinking about this, Kushida tried her best to maintain her image as an angel on the surface.

"So," Hachiman said, "If there really is such an exam, then I'll choose to drop out, Yamauchi."

"After all, his actions don't take the safety of our class into account."

"We've run out of initial points, so we're all relying on base points. If our leader's information is leaked, we might lose all our base points too," Hachiman said. "Should we continue to tolerate someone who doesn't consider everyone's interests at all?"

"..."

"..."

These words silenced the students around the campfire.

Generally speaking, Hachiman's words are full of divisive meaning.

It's even a bit cruel; who would directly expel a classmate from school?

But no one around the campfire objected.

Moreover, there is one important point.

So if there really is a student who has to drop out, and if that student is confirmed to have dropped out, then aren't the others safe?

If we drop Yamauchi, everyone will be safe.

"So," Hachiman said, "If such a test really happens."

"I hope everyone here will choose to drop out of Yamauchi," Hachiman said.

Yamauchi's current actions are very dangerous. Although some people feel sorry for Ibuki, now that they have eaten, sat down by the fire, and listened to Hachiman's analysis, they suddenly feel that the danger has increased.

If Ibuki really is a spy, and then there's a problem at the base, wouldn't that be a huge loss?

At the same time.

The responsibility for the Ibuki incident was entirely placed on Yamauchi. If an exam resulted in expulsion, Yamauchi would take all the blame, and everyone else would be safe.

Therefore, the Yamauchi is the object that must be sacrificed for such an examination to occur.

He was safe Yamauchi after the sacrifice.

It would be very distressing if something unexpected happened and affected me.

So, if you drop out of Yamauchi and get security, you'll still have yourself to rely on, isn't that safe?

So if we can make an agreement now, we can safely pass this kind of exam in the future.

It was only when Hachiman was preparing to form a large group that he made a promise.

A student suddenly stood up from the fire.

"Mountain, Yamauchi... Don't get too close to Ibuki."

This was Kanji Ike. He had also heard Hachiman's words, but quickly stood up and walked towards the Yamauchi. He was also one of the people warming themselves by the fire.

He and Yamauchi are friends, and he doesn't want his friend to drop out of school.

He also understood that the class's initial 300 points were used up, and keeping Ibuki would be too risky.

If, if the base points are really gone, then Yamauchi will really be expelled.

"Kanji Ike is a person who values emotions." Hachiman watched Ike's back.

Because he was willing to withstand the pressure from the fire and still go to Yamauchi to lend a hand, Ike was really going all out.

However, Hachiman didn't think Ike's approach would be effective. Even if he managed to persuade Yamauchi, the idea of dropping out a student was still a possibility if such an exam were to actually be encountered in the future.

To protect themselves.

So he's basically giving us a heads-up.

After all, he was just trying to protect himself.

He would also find it difficult to get expelled from school by a group of people.

After all, he was still hoping to make a little money at this school, then convert it into cash and build a stable financial foundation for the future.

I don't want to be caught off guard and end up losing my job.

Actually, thinking about it this way is quite painful, because Hachiman is very clear about the situation in the class. When a classmate actually drops out, the classmate will not drop out because of any contribution made by that person or whether they will be of any use to the class.

Rather, it's probably because of their own preferences that they dropped out of school.

Isn't this terrible?

Even the best students can be expelled from school. And he himself might also be expelled.

Therefore, choosing a sacrificial offering first is a means of self-preservation.

And at this time.

Some noises came over.

Chapter 126 We can't alert them; we have to get Ryuen to do the work!

Chi went to find Yamauchi. He had already realized that Yamauchi was in a dangerous situation. If he didn't do something, then if there was an exam that required dropping out of school, everyone would choose Yamauchi.

He had few friends, or rather, very few people talked to him; Yamauchi was one of them.

And.

If Yamauchi school, what will he do in the future? He'll be at the bottom of the class.

So he immediately went to find Yamauchi.

Only.

"Huh? We can't touch? Why, Ike? You're not jealous of me, are you?" Yamauchi said.

These words stunned Chi Du.

And at this time.

"Hey, what do you want to do!"
