Chapter 334
However, getting the money isn't easy. You have to be a hero, attack Third-year Class B, then attack Third-year Class A, and then [save] Third-year Class A. Only then can you get Third-year Class A to pay you.
Yes.
Because of numerous exams and the fact that none of the classmates were willing to give up, Third-year Class A didn't have much savings.
However, the class evaluation score was very high.
The school deposits more than eight million yuan into Third-year Class A every month.
So this is something that Hachiman might find appealing.
However, to be a hero, certain prerequisites are required, so he is waiting to see how to create those conditions.
Then he discovered that things had gone wrong.
This deviation is Miyabi Nagumo.
Nagumo gradually became more audacious, claiming he would challenge Manabu Horikita agreed because he was worried that Nagumo would cause trouble.
Because Nagumo was the representative of the second year, he organized the second year into a whole, and this whole only had his voice.
Therefore, if we want to fight against Nagumo, we have to fight against all the second-year students.
But is that really the case?
Hachiman sensed that something was wrong with Nagumo.
At the very least, while Nagumo may be arrogant at times, he shouldn't suddenly jump out at a time like this.
Then, Hachiman used 300,000 Private Points as bait to obtain the fluctuations in the class evaluation scores of Third-year Class B over the past two years from a senior in Third-year Class D.
Then Hachiman discovered that the level of Third-year Class B was actually somewhat lower than that of Third-year Class A. He even had to drop out of school once, losing his position as the class's second-in-command.
That's absolutely incredible.
Furthermore, Manabu Horikita is very strong, so Third-year Class B has no threat to Third-year Class A.
Therefore.
After repeated exams, several students in Third-year Class B were missing. They were barely able to take care of themselves, let alone have any offensive capabilities.
This means that even classmates couldn't be saved, or were unwilling to pay the price to save them.
Therefore, Third-year Class B made rapid progress last semester, even dragging down Class A of Manabu Horikita. This is very strange, because if someone is really strong, they should have already taken off in the first year. Even if they were building up their strength in the first year, they should have exploded in the second year, not taken off in the third year.
Therefore, taking all factors into consideration, this is why Third-year Class B received support.
And this support is very likely from Nagumo.
When it came time to coordinate the Sports Festival, Nagumo directly manipulated the scores to make the Red team lose, which benefited Class B and Class C.
Among them, Class B is the Third-year Class B. The Third-year Class B benefited.
Thus, Nagumo's strange behavior was explained.
Nagumo was promoted to Vice President of the Student Council by Manabu Horikita because of his excellence, so it can be confirmed that he is indeed a very strong person.
Because if he weren't strong, he wouldn't be able to unify the four classes of second grade, A, B, C, and D. And if he has been supporting Third-year Class B, then it means that he has big ambitions.
It's very likely the Student Council.
He wants to become the next Student Council President.
He was qualified to become the full president when he was the Vice President, but Hachiman threw Sakayanagi into the Student Council, which directly ruined his plans.
Then, Sakayanagi received 100 votes from the third grade.
However, there are 133 students in the third grade.
Nagumo's own second-year students were even fewer, with only 112 remaining.
So.
Nagumo's usually sturdy Student Council President's chair suddenly began to shake.
If Nagumo doesn't decisively win over 2-3 first-grade classes or secure the remaining votes from the third-grade students, his election will definitely fail.
Nagumo had long coveted the first year and tried several times to control Ichinose and take over Ichinose class.
Unfortunately, Hachiman exposed it.
Therefore, Nagumo is in an awkward situation.
If you do nothing, the chances of not being elected are very high.
In particular, at the start of the Sports Festival, Sakayanagi met with all the students in the school without authorization as a candidate, so the probability that unsuspecting students Student Council choose Sakayanagi was very high.
So.
Nagumo did everything so that he could be elected Student Council President.
He lost his chance of winning, so he increased his chances of winning.
From this perspective, Nagumo is actually quite inspiring.
But it's very dirty.
His method for becoming Student Council President was to force Manabu Horikita campaign for him. If Manabu Horikita failed, Hachiman's class, as Manabu Horikita's Hachiman sister, would likely have no choice but to vote for him in order to help Manabu Horikita.
At that time, all Nagumo needs to do is spend some more money to bribe the class to get their evaluation score to 0, and the starving First-year Class D will get the ticket.
Therefore, Nagumo's odds of winning immediately hit the daily limit.
Therefore, in order to achieve this goal, Nagumo's option is this exam.
The support given to Third-year Class B was for this very moment.
The goal wasn't to elevate Class B, but rather to demote Manabu Horikita and then seek his help.
Manabu Horikita is a very strategic person, so Nagumo is certain that Manabu Horikita knows what to do.
In this way.
Miyabi Nagumo was also paying attention to the Forestry Exam, and then challenged Manabu Horikita. Every night, she would visit the first-year students, pretending to be up to something, but in reality, she was just trying to hide the fact that her target was the girls' group.
In this way.
While everyone was gathered in the gymnasium listening to Miyabi Nagumo and Manabu Horikita's challenge, Hachiman had already gotten the information from the seniors in Third-year Class D and then began to analyze Nagumo's behavioral patterns.
Then he guessed that this was possible, and so, without him having to lift a finger, Manabu Horikita was already in crisis.
So Hachiman is actually quite grateful to Nagumo.
So the next evening, when Nagumo brought the upperclassmen to play Joker to decide how many times they would cook, he didn't join in and Old Maid with them.
Because Hachiman had already discovered the unopened cards brought by Nagumo, but had the upperclassmen secretly tamper with the shuffling, they had confirmed what the Joker looked like.
So the older students have been cheating all along.
Hachiman didn't expose him, and he didn't even face any consequences. All of this was to repay Nagumo for the favor he had done.
Then, she calmly observed Nagumo's illusion, watching him make a scene.
However, Hachiman didn't miss anything. He met with the girls he had arranged to meet on the bus and obtained the list of girls in her group from Karuizawa.
Then they obtained the lists of their respective groups from Suzune Horikita and Kushida.
This way, we can directly obtain the lists of the three major groups of girls.
Finally, Kushida was asked to use her connections to obtain the lists of the two large groups of girls in Third-year Class A and observe the situation in these two third-grade groups.
Therefore.
The night Hachiman discovered that Hashimoto and Ryuen had met, it wasn't by chance that he saw Akane Tachibana crying.
Instead, they arranged for Kushida to obtain information, which revealed that Akane Tachibana was being bullied by students from Third-year Class B in her group.
Then let Kushida, the atmosphere-reading expert, predict when Akane Tachibana will explode.
So.
He had come prepared, knowing that Akane Tachibana might secretly run out to cry, so he brought a recording pen with him.
However, he didn't expect to run into Ryuen and Hashimoto, so he deliberately tricked Hashimoto away.
It was only when Hachiman confirmed that Akane Tachibana refused to seek out Manabu Horikita despite crying that he realized that it was Akane Tachibana's entire group that Nagumo had his eye on.
However, to fight against Nagumo's second and Third-year Class B, relying on a single class is definitely not enough.
Knowing that Nagumo wants Akane Tachibana to be in last place in her group, it would cost more to bribe people in that group.
Therefore, Hachiman chose to determine the last place.
But.
For first graders, coming in last place can also bring severe punishment.
Directly selecting a person is different from the agreed-upon luck, so it may lead to a higher price.
So, he recorded the entire sound of Secretary Akane Tachibana crying, and went to find Ryuen Kakeru, who hadn't left immediately after meeting Hashimoto.
Hashimoto felt disgusted after being scammed out of 1 million points, so he left. But Ryuen didn't leave. Ryuen had been scammed many times, and he didn't think that Hachiman Hikigaya would follow Hashimoto just to earn 1 million points.
So he stayed.
Hachiman also didn't think that Ryuen hadn't learned his lesson after being tricked so many times.
So after Secretary Akane Tachibana left, Hachiman immediately looked behind him.
As expected, Ryuen was indeed hiding in a dark corner. Therefore, Ryuen must have known about Akane Tachibana being bullied.
Ryuen's class swept all the first-grade groups this time, which might give them the upper hand. That means he won't get the lion's share.
So Hachiman decided to try and fool the other party.
"So, do you still want to be promoted to Class A?"
At that time, Hachiman said to Ryuen, "Shiina came to me and said that you have resigned from your position as Class representative. You are no longer the tyrant of Class D."
"Shiina, huh?"
Ryuen looked at him negatively. "She probably just wanted you to encourage me, but ever since you defeated me, I've lost all interest in this school."
"Because first grade is completely boring," Ryuen said.
"Really? Then why don't you choose to drop out of school?" Hachiman asked. "If you drop out, then there's no need to pay back the money you owe. After all, I can't exactly chase you out of the school to collect the money, can I?"
"So," Hachiman said, looking calmly at Ryuen, "You've actually been waiting for an opportunity, haven't you? Waiting for a chance to reap the rewards and get rich quick."
"..." Ryuen remained silent.
Hachiman continued, "On the second night of this exam, I met a girl from my class, and Ibuki was in the same group as her, followed her."
"..." Ryuen said dismissively, "Why not just say you met Karuizawa? Why bother with a girl?"
"Everyone knows that Kei Karuizawa is one of yours. You're the one who gave her the Student Council membership."
This Hachiman speechless for a moment, which was unusual for him, but Hachiman continued, "Anyway Ibuki followed me out, and then she made a request to me, hoping to cheer you up. She felt that Class D couldn't do without you."
"The reason is that she felt that after following you for a semester, not only was everyone broke, but the class evaluation score was also reduced to 0."
"Looks like you're not all that great. They'd still get a zero without you."
"But that is, until Ishizaki showed her a notebook," Hachiman Hikigaya said.
"A notebook?" Ryuen remained silent, but he was already feeling uneasy.
"That's the notebook that Ishizaki stole from your closet. It's about how to plan to collect 800 million points and then promote all 40 students to Class A."
"In other words, although you may appear violent and terrifying, you are actually fulfilling the duties of a representative."
"I won't abandon any of the students in Class D; I want to take them all with me and fly together," Hachiman said.
"..." Ryuen.
Ryuen seemed to fall silent for a moment.
But very quickly.
"So you've come here to persuade me to become the tyrant of Class D again, and then become your enemy?" Ryuen sneered. "You actually want to help your enemy?"
"They're not enemies," Hachiman said. "You know very well that I have absolutely no interest in my class. Otherwise, I wouldn't have watched it drop from Class A in just one month."
"..." Ryuen.
Ryuen knew very well that Hachiman Hikigaya had not only obtained tens of millions of points in the VIP Exam, but also swindled the Katsuragi class out of a 30 million yen agreement, so he was definitely qualified to graduate as Class A student.
Moreover, Hachiman Hikigaya had already shown him a chart showing the 20 million yen balance before the exam.
