Sakayanagi Is Attacked; Sakayanagi: I Guess Others See Me as Weak!

Throw your razor blades and monthly tickets at me! sobs

Chapter 013 Sakayanagi Under Attack, Sakayanagi: It seems that in other people's eyes, I am the weak one!

Yukimura was the first person to organize a study group, which is commendable.

And very quickly.

Hirata finally realized that she needed to start organizing a class reunion now to improve everyone's grades.

He also contacted his Hachiman.

"Is studying hard the only option for this exam?" Hirata asked.

"The exam questions are set by the school, and the syllabus has already been finalized. I don't think there's any way to cheat."

"The only solution is the one that Ryuen's class used last semester, where everyone controls their scores."

In other words, everyone controls their score.

This exam compares the average scores of the four classes, and the class with the highest average score receives a reward of 100 points in class evaluation.

The second, third, and even fourth place winners were not penalized.

The only concern is that students who fail will be expelled.

The failing grade is defined as the average score of one's class divided by two.

Therefore, everyone can work together to keep the score within a range that everyone can achieve, for example, everyone can score in the teens.

Certainly.

The Ryuen's class can do this, but the Horikita's class cannot.

Even if this agreement is made, there will always be people who don't trust their partners.

So Hachiman only mentioned it briefly and didn't continue.

"So this is the only way after all," Hirata murmured.

It seems that Hirata himself is aware of the situation.

After enrolling in the school, he made various contributions to the class and patiently dealt with the various problems of his classmates.

But.

During the Sports Festival, we were told that the competition list had been leaked and that there was a spy in our class.

For the sake of peace in the class, Hirata did not arrest these people.

However, it is a fact that there are bad people in the class.

Therefore, this score control scheme is simply impossible for this fragile class to implement.

In response to this...

"Hirata," Hachiman said. "I think you should be prepared that even if no one drops out this time, someone will eventually drop out next time or the time after that."

"Only Horikita's class in the entire school had no dropouts, but the price they paid was extremely high, something our class couldn't afford," Hachiman said.

The so-called "not letting people drop out of school" means collecting 20 million points to avoid the punishment of dropping out.

Take the most recent Forest Camp exam as an example: each student in the class paid 100,000 points to Class D as protection money.

There are always a few people who don't participate.

According to them, they felt their skill level was good enough and they were sure they wouldn't end up in last place, so they shouldn't have to pay the money.

Hirata needs to continue to mobilize these students, and even provide them with subsidies.

So I can hardly imagine what it would be like if the whole class collected 20 million points to protect someone, and how many people would agree.

Because if it's divided equally, each person would need 500,000.

"I know that too."

Hirata finally sighed helplessly.

"Let's try our best to avoid any dropouts this time."

"As long as everyone studies hard, we can get through this."

He said, "When the exam comes, I will ask Horikita and the others to lower the score."

If Academic Ability- achieving students are given lower scores, the average score will also decrease, thus lowering the passing score and making the process safer.

In other words...

If Hirata is chosen as the Class representative, then the plan for this exam will still be to ensure that no one in Class B drops out.

Hachiman had no objection to this.

He no longer looked down on these kinds of exams that didn't offer much reward.

So if Hirata is willing to take over, then let him take over.

At least, he won't compete with Sakayanagi in terms of Academic Ability.

Because, simply... we can't compare.

In this way.

Hirata rearranged the study session during the class meeting on the second day.

No one would disagree with that.

Rather, it's more accurate to say...

A large number of underachieving students immediately accepted and welcomed it.

Apart from.

"I'm not participating."

As always, Kōenji refused in a high-profile manner. Then, he took a mirror and combed his hair.

I feel that he is just as beautiful and charming as he is today.

At the last study session, Kōenji also refused, and then Hirata took over the responsibility for the four students that Kōenji was supposed to be in charge of.

So it's equivalent to him teaching 10 students all by himself.

However, for this exam, Hirata probably really didn't want anyone to drop out, so he wanted a top student to only tutor three or four students.

However, if we do that, there won't be enough top students in the class to go around.

Therefore, we may need external assistance.

As for this, Hachiman sent a message to Ichinose.

However, Hachiman didn't want to use his personal connections with Ichinose, so he opted for a transaction.

Class B provided the money, while Class A provided the participants.

Since it was possible to accumulate points, she didn't refuse.

So they arranged for five or six top students to come over.

It's like getting extra lessons.

Each tutoring session earns 10,000 points. If a student takes 20 tutoring sessions in total, then a top student could earn 200,000 points.

Five or six top students will bring in 1 million yuan in revenue for the class.

Since the school doesn't allow students to work, their ways of earning points are limited. However, the students in Class A really like this way of earning money by helping with tutoring.

In this way.

Although it can be a bit tedious, first-grade students are beginning to engage in Matoba study.

In First-year Class D, students are often required to study until 7 p. m. after school before being released.

Only.

I happened to pass by their classroom.

Why can't I solve a linear equation in two variables?

"The chicken and rabbit problem is something we learn in elementary school, right?"

Seeing that Kaneda, who wore glasses and looked like an uncle from another world, seemed to want to bang his head against the wall.

They look like they're having a tough time.

However, the Hachiman Hikigaya class won't have it so easy either.

Because of the group study on the second day.

Hachiman was found by Hirata.

"Hachiman, before you go to Yukimura's group, could you help Horikita out?" Hirata said. "In other words, I'd like to trouble you to join Horikita's group today."

Oh?

Hachiman blinked.

Then I quickly understood what Hirata meant.

Hirata originally intended to continue the study group according to the pairing exam group from last semester, but it seems that there was some friction among some students last time, so he applied to re-form the group.

Even so Horikita 'Hachiman group's turn. Her group was notorious for being fierce and speaking excessively, so after someone submitted a suggestion to reorganize, her group members all ran away.

Ultimately, in Hirata's arrangement, Horikita was specifically responsible for teaching the struggling students this time, but if it was just about the struggling students, then he shouldn't be involved.

"Sorry, Hachiman, it was Horikita asked you to go," Hirata said.

"..." Hachiman.

He had taken extra classes with Horikita during the holidays, so he was very confident about this exam.

However, since it was Horikita asked for help, which was quite rare, Hachiman accepted.

Then, in the library after school, Hachiman saw her group members.

Kanji Ike, Ken Sudō, Sotomura, and one other girl. Because that girl wasn't very pretty and didn't really stand out in class—she was basically just a background character— Hachiman wasn't very familiar with her.

Suzune Horikita is indeed a top student, and it's likely that her being put in charge of the underachievers was a deliberate choice.

Because she was the only one who hadn't gone out to play during the holidays and had already completed a semester's worth of courses through self-study, she was very suitable to guide the students who knew nothing about the textbooks.

"I feel like I've gotten used to having exams every month," Horikita said to Hachiman while sitting in a chair with a textbook in hand.

Then.

Although she was holding a book, Horikita a little distracted. "So, what are your thoughts this time?"

Profound.

She was probably asking how Hachiman would make money.

This is probably her fixed mindset.

It seems that Hachiman every exam.

So you're treating this exam as an opportunity to earn points?

"I'm sorry." But Hachiman refused her. "This time, we can't use the old questions for the exam. There's no way to do it except for the students to study on their own. As for me, all I can do is pray that I can pass the exam."

"Is that so?" Horikita looked at him with suspicion.

But that's only part of the truth.

Because there is a solution.

The strategy remains the same: control the score.

The Ryuen's class has already used it, and to show fairness, the school should give other classes one more chance.

However, it only requires top students and students of average to above-average ability to score lower.

This can also lower the average score, giving the underachieving students a breather.

This is based on the premise that even though students are academically weak, they can still achieve the results expected of them.
