Kamuro: You Asked Me? Sakayanagi Said Katsuragi Definitely Couldn't Hold On! Part 2

She said, "If we intercept it, we can retain our class's results on the Uninhabited Island Exam. If we refuse, we may be deducted 600 points."

Chapter 152 Kamuro: You asked me? Sakayanagi said Katsuragi definitely can't be defended! (Middle)

Suzune Horikita appeared stern and indifferent. She continued without any politeness.

"Think about it yourselves. After you find out you're the VIP, are you confident you can keep it a secret from the other classes? And who will be held responsible for the points deducted from the class? Could it be yours? For example, if it's discovered you're the VIP, then the class will lose 50 x 12 = 600 points because of you."

"So next month, apart from the extra 100 points allocated to Kōenji, everyone will only have 341 points left, which means the living expenses will be more than 30,000."

"I'm not willing to accept that."

"Or should I say..."

She paused as she said this. "Are the students VIP but were then correctly guessed by other classes and had points deducted from their scores willing to bear that loss?"

"...XN

The students who initially thought Suzune Horikita's demands were excessive began to quiet down.

Because.

Are you willing to bear this portion of the loss?

One 50 points is equivalent to 200,000 Private Points per month.

I need to spend 200,000 yuan on living expenses.

That's not how it works. Or rather, who could possibly bear that responsibility?

Only.

"There can't possibly be 12 VIP," Karuizawa said at that moment.

She is a member of the Student Council's Disciplinary Committee Member.

Although it wasn't a key position, he was quite popular in the class.

In particular, during the last written exam, she used her position as Student Council member to "sneak a photo" of the exam papers for everyone.

Then everyone passed that exam safely.

Even if her underwear was stolen on Uninhabited Island, it was done by Ibuki, an outsider.

"Yes." Seeing that she was willing to oppose Horikita, her friends Shinohara and Sato immediately began to support her.

"Since the 12 VIP are divided equally, then our class will only have 3," Shinohara said.

Even if all three VIP are guessed correctly, the loss would only be 50 x 3 = 150 points.

Therefore, the idea of losing 600 points is simply nonsense.

Hearing her say that, some classmates seemed somewhat relieved. In fact, some of them thought the same thing, and now Karuizawa and the others were speaking up for them.

Only.

"But it's also possible to be that unlucky, isn't it?" Horikita said uneasily. "Or are you willing to gamble on the possibility of having a certain number of VIP in our class?"

"If you win the bet, you might lose 150 points, and if you lose, you might lose 600 points. Shinohara, can you take on this responsibility?"

"..."

Who would dare to gamble?

Even Yukimura who initially thought the chances of Horikita's 12 VIP being in their class being slim, shut up.

If he objects now, will he be held responsible if this very low-probability event occurs?

Can he take the blame for this?

"So, Horikita, you made everyone submit their phones because you didn't want to gamble on that possibility, right?" Seeing Horikita resolutely playing the bad cop, Hachiman also started to speak, preparing to play the good cop.

"Because of the three-day gathering between groups, even the best actors may have their identities as VIP exposed."

"And we cannot afford this loss."

"After all, it took seven days to accumulate those points during the Uninhabited Island Exam."

"Are we going to lose everything here?"

"So."

"Horikita, you've completely kept the VIP information a secret from everyone," Hachiman said.

"Since we don't know whether we are VIP or not, then other classes won't be able to tell."

"That's definitely a good idea," Hachiman said.

After saying this, he did not continue speaking, but instead let the students start discussing it themselves.

The time now is seven forty-six.

There are 14 minutes left until 8 o'clock.

So we can waste another 4 minutes on them.

"So, for example, if we discover VIP during a group discussion, wouldn't we also miss the opportunity to help our class get points if we can't get their phones?"

Yeah.

The first thing they raised was their own interests, which is very typical of Class C.

But.

"I don't recommend you answer this either," Suzune Horikita said. "If we guess the wrong information about the VIP in a class, our class will lose 50 points."

"However, you are still part of the class."

Suzune Horikita said, "If you're willing to pay the 50 points that were deducted, you can come back to get your phone back to answer the questions."

"Based on the previous case of Kōenji, who made outstanding contributions to the class, he can get one-third of the points. So if you lose points because of yourself, you will not have to bear all the lost points. You only need to bear half of the share."

Suzune Horikita said, "If you get a wrong answer and lose 50 points, you'll have to cover living expenses worth 25 points until you graduate. It's not much, just 100,000 points per month until graduation."

"Why is it that the reward is only one-third, but the points deducted have to be paid out in half?" a student immediately retorted.

"Because of our class's current score," Horikita said indifferently.

"Currently, Class A has 1258 points, Class B has 1121 points, and our Class C has 1041 points. Even Class A is not far away."

"Every extra point deducted could mean missing out on the chance to advance to Class A, which could mean destroying all the hard work the whole class has put in. Shouldn't that be severely punished?"

Actually, that's not the case. You have to graduate as Class A student to receive the school's promise: tuition-free and exam-free admission to your desired university and a job you want.

However, the announcement that they might aim for Class A still exerts a strong pressure on the students in the class.

Only.

There are also those who want to contribute to the class, or those who want to earn points like those at Kōenji, so they won't have to worry about their living expenses in the future.

But.

The responsibility is huge.

Because of what? Payment my ass.

The exam hasn't finished yet, and next month we can confirm if I don't lose points, then I can get 100,000 yuan for living expenses. So how could I possibly gamble on this one time and have to take out 100,000 points, and have to give it to me every month?

"This isn't fair." Someone immediately stood up. "This is something you suddenly proposed, deducting points and assigning responsibility. Wasn't it supposed to be that only the reward points are taken one-third, and then the remaining two-thirds are distributed to the class?"

"Then ask the others if they're willing to share the points deducted because of your stupidity?" Horikita without changing his expression.

For her, such a rebuttal was futile.

The student who stood up immediately noticed that his classmates had all lowered their heads.

It's obvious they don't want to.

Why should everyone share the points you deducted?

"..."

Although it's hard to admit, most students wouldn't want their living expenses to be deducted for no reason.

"Horikita— "

Hirata, who loves peace, immediately stood up, knowing that this would create a rift in the class.

He felt that both adding and deducting points were normal, and that he would never have peace of mind if he fussed over every single one.

"That was indeed my slip of the tongue." Suzune Horikita had already discussed it with Hachiman, so she didn't intend to be stubborn forever. At the same time, she knew she couldn't push these classmates too hard, so she added.

"Since such a deviation has occurred this time."

"Then let's make a formal agreement."

"It started when Kōenji opened up his personal strengths, and then the class rewarded him with points."

"But this start was very good. Kōenji brought our class a class evaluation score of over 300 points."

"And now."

"I don't think you want to just drop to the bottom like this, so try to get into Class A if you have the chance."

"So," Suzune Horikita said.

"As long as everyone performs well and obtains a class evaluation score of 50 points or above (including 50 points), all the points will go to the class, but the individual will receive half the value of the class evaluation score as living expenses until graduation."

"Of course, if our class's evaluation scores are deducted too much and these scores cannot be saved, then we will have to temporarily suspend the evaluation."

"But what is certain is that this part of the score will definitely be placed last."

"For example, if our class's evaluation score is reduced to only 200 points, then everyone still has to send 100 points worth of living expenses to Kōenji," Kōenji Suzune Horikita said.

In other words...

Some students realized what was happening.

"We must ensure that students who contribute to the class are rewarded," Suzune Horikita said. "And as long as they contribute to the class, the class will not let them down. We will do our best to fulfill their promises."

"Horikita, this method doesn't seem quite right... If we divide the class's evaluation scores like this..." Hirata hadn't been informed of this beforehand.

"But this plan is pretty good, isn't it?" said Kōenji, who had participated in the gathering but hadn't spoken, instead only looking at his beautiful face in the mirror.

He was actually looking forward to this class.

Reward and punishment system.

It can effectively prevent some idiots from losing a lot of points, while also providing rewards, which makes some capable people try their best to climb the ranks.

Because everyone knows this is a terrible class. Let alone whether they can make it into Class A, even if they do, they'll definitely fall back down.

So I have no hope for the class.

However, the reward and punishment system proposed by Horikita now can guarantee that they will receive their dues after making contributions.

That alone makes it something to look forward to.

It allows capable people to work hard, while also preventing fools from getting huge deductions.

Even a terrible class like this can be mobilized.

Of course, the only reason he would agree is that Horikita's proposal guarantees his reward, and he is a beneficiary of the existing system.

"Of course you'd say that since you can get money from Kōenji," Sudō said at that moment.

"Then why don't you go and get the points yourself, red-haired boy?"

"As long as it's sports, as long as it's a test related to sports, I'm sure I can get points!" Sudō said confidently.

He's an athletic genius. While he can't match Sudō in terms of physical fitness, he's still among the top in his grade, and even ranks high among all the boys in the school.

Therefore, it is natural to have confidence in oneself.

"In short, if no one objects, then this is settled. As long as the reward or deduction exceeds 50 points and is caused by personal reasons, then a reward or punishment will be given."

"As for this exam, you've all finished looking at the materials that Kushida just handed out, right? My suggestion is that everyone in the class hand in their cell phones," Suzune Horikita said.

"If you really want to get into the guessing game for the VIP, you don't have to submit your phones."

But saying that was as good as not saying anything at all. After looking at the information Kushida provided, I finally understood what the exam questions were about. I also found that being VIP was super cool. And if I could guess the VIP in other classes, I could even get more living expenses.

However, if you guess wrong and get points deducted, the compensation you have to pay will be enough to make your life miserable.

Therefore, students nowadays worry about losing points, but not about the class losing points, but about losing points due to their own mistakes.
