Hachiman's Meritocracy Classroom Chapter 22

The wording was very polite.

It was also the result of careful consideration.

Arisu Sakayanagi was probably just playing, and Hachiman didn't want to mess around with her.

"Are you sure?" Arisu said. "If you stay in Class D, you won't have much spending money next month."

Oh.

I see.

You really know a lot, don't you.

And both Chabashira-sensei and the Student Council President had tacitly agreed that informing students of the school's rules would come at a price.

In other words, it was just as he suspected; by provoking the upperclassmen and extorting points from them, Arisu Sakayanagi had acquired a massive amount of points.

Through the trading of points, she had gained a complete understanding of the school's rules.

However, this statement also piqued his interest.

What did she mean by not having much spending money next month?

Hachiman had thought the school wanted students to compete and improve as a class, using exams and the like, but now... Arisu Sakayanagi's attitude seemed to suggest that the exams had already begun.

"Perhaps so," Hachiman said. "And the class I'm in might have ended up in a worse state than you anticipated."

"Then why don't you come over?" Arisu Sakayanagi said. "The reward I'm offering is already quite generous."

She seemed a little confused.

Because Hachiman wasn't stupid, and he understood what she was saying.

But why was he being so stubborn?

He had even stated his own desires, that he wished to be supported.

So Arisu thought this might be a perfect match.

"Because your so-called 'eye-catching' is just a whim," Hachiman said. "You're actually not interested in class competition or maintaining Class A, are you?"

"Hehehe..."

Arisu Sakayanagi, from Class A, chuckled at his words.

She was quite cute, and her smile was bright and charming.

However.

"You're right," Arisu said. "I truly have no interest in class rivalries."

"Because it's so boring."

"I thought this school would offer me a new experience, but after experiencing it firsthand, it's nothing special."

Nothing special...

What arrogant words.

Hachiman confirmed it.

Although Arisu Sakayanagi appeared delicate, her offensive power was considerable.

If he had to describe her, he might call her a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

But since she hadn't fully grown yet, perhaps she was a young Tyrannosaurus Rex or a juvenile one.

"To be honest, I haven't experienced school life before, and I was hoping to encounter some interesting things here, but it's just boring."

"So."

Arisu Sakayanagi said, "Hachiman, can you understand this feeling?"

Understand this feeling?

Of course... he didn't.

What was so bad about this school? It was tuition-free, and if he did well, he could save money and leave.

For someone like him who didn't want to work hard, it was practically perfect.

But Arisu Sakayanagi, who started with a massive amount of points, still found it uninteresting.

In other words, Arisu Sakayanagi was indeed a rich young lady.

She had no shortage of money.

She came here to play.

That darn rich little girl.

"Since you're so uninteresting, do you want to experience the shock of little Class D?" Hachiman said. "And in return, I want to obtain the information you have about this school."

"..."

"..." Arisu Sakayanagi.

Arisu seemed to ponder for a moment.

"How much do you know about this school?" she said.

"That points are everything, you can buy anything with points, you can buy information you don't know, the school doesn't do charity, students' living expenses aren't provided for free, but instead, students of the same grade compete as classes to obtain resources. And the initial class assignments are also unfair, Class A students have the highest quality, Class D is probably treated as a trash heap," Hachiman said.

"..."

"...Arisu Sakayanagi."

You actually know quite a lot, don't you?

"I can," Arisu Sakayanagi said, her cherry-colored lips, like a cat's, moving slightly as she revealed a sly, polite smile. "Let me experience the '[little shock]' of your so-called Class D."

Then.

Arisu Sakayanagi felt... despair.

Those terrible students of Class D, that hateful scoundrel, Hachiman Hikigaya!

Synopsis:

To hide his dark past of being obsessed with extreme death metal and being an ultimate visual kei punk in middle school.

Hikaru Kotobuki buried everything from his past and abandoned his former self.

He even gave up his skill of playing guitar with his teeth, choosing to work hard as a keyboardist.

To escape his dead memories, he left home and chose to attend a high school in Shimokitazawa.

One day.

His sister, Kotobuki Tsumugi, pointed to a recommendation on the homepage of a video website.

"Go and become friends with this child."

A visual kei punk boy meets a socially anxious girl.

"Ah... If I can't make a living with my guitar, I'll become a freeloader and a shut-in," said Ikuyo Hitori.

"Ahhh, me too. If the band doesn't pick up, I'll be forced to go back and inherit the family business," said Hikaru Kotobuki.

Chapter 025: Arisu Sakayanagi: I Give Up! Class D Students Are Truly the Worst!

Arisu Sakayanagi had never experienced school life, so she had expectations for Advanced Nurturing High School.

However, on the very first day of enrollment, she provoked upperclassmen, obtained points from them, and then purchased the essence of this school from the homeroom teacher.

Then she discovered that she had been assigned to the most excellent class.

She even gained the support of some students in the class.

Suddenly, she was at the peak of her life.

And the class competition within the school, logically speaking, should be lively with four classes fighting together. But Class A students have strong fundamental qualities, and there aren't even many underachievers.

So, all their stats are high.

Meaning, they are fully equipped.

And the other classes are just deformed monsters, right? Even Class B is just a bunch of little sheep.

So, how could she possibly lose?

In other words, she could already see the graduation results just by enrolling.

Therefore, for her, school life was nothing more than this.

The greater her expectations for school life at this school, the more disappointed she felt now.

However, she had also promised her father that she wouldn't drop out midway, so she was currently in a state of boredom.

And now.

First-year Class D, Hachiman, can you bring her some fun?

"I can."

Arisu Sakayanagi agreed to Hachiman's bet.

Being as intelligent as she was, she had already understood that Hachiman seemed to want to obtain information about this school, which required paying 2 million to buy from the homeroom teacher, for "[free]" from her.

In other words, this guy was too much, trying to get it for free.

However.

According to Kushida, this Hachiman had all sorts of dark histories, but his insight was extremely sharp, and moreover, the other party was not fake, but...

So Arisu Sakayanagi was slightly looking forward to it.

And as she thought this, she saw Hachiman walk up to her.

"To ensure honesty, can you hand over your phone first?" Hachiman said.

Oh.

She's worried about recording it.

Indeed.

While this school aims to cultivate talent, it doesn't produce entirely pure and upright students, so it allows the use of some underhanded tactics.

And this is to adapt to society's [smoothness].

Arisu Sakayanagi was very lenient today because she wasn't recording.

Otherwise, if Hachiman had shown even the slightest hint of agreeing to be her spy, she would have gotten him for free.

Possessing a recording of him betraying his class would allow her to directly withhold his points.

But he didn't fall for it.

He refused her patronage.

Thinking this.

Arisu Sakayanagi took out her white shell phone and placed it on the chair.

"You need to put your phone down too," Arisu said.

"Okay," Hachiman nodded.

He also placed his phone on the other end of the bench. Then, as if still uneasy, he looked at Arisu's phone.

"You're not recording or talking to anyone, are you?"

Arisu's phone screen was off, but there was no guarantee she hadn't performed other operations.

"No," Arisu replied.

She picked up her phone and pressed her left thumb to unlock it with her fingerprint.

The display showed that no programs were running.
