Chapter 396
Therefore, a reason is needed.
"So since this exam can grant her one exemption from expulsion, let's give it to her," Hachiman said. "Classmate Sakayanagi sometimes treats me to meals, and I don't want her to drop out of school so early."
"..."benefit.
In other words, Hachiman Hikigaya is protecting his long-term meal ticket.
Sakayanagi Arisu so cute, but you only see her as a meal ticket?
"By the way," Hui asked again, "If she confessed her feelings to you, would you agree to be with her?"
"You got so many votes this time, she must have helped you get them, right?"
Then, as he said this, his gaze fell on Hachiman.
"She probably refused," Hachiman said. "I often dream that I marry her but she tricks me into going to work."
Then it was like an evaluation.
"That was terrifying."
"..."benefit.
Hui felt that this person was indeed beyond saving.
"And what about Kushida?" Megumi continued. "What if Kushida confesses to you—"
"That's impossible," Hachiman said. "I can't imagine her doing something like that, and if she does, it's definitely because she's trying to use me. Or she's encountered something she can't handle."
Is it really that real?
Although the two signed a marriage agreement after graduation, it seems that the relationship Hachiman and Kushida is just so-so.
So, is there still a chance?
Hui thought to herself.
With the withdrawal exam over and the Acting Chairman of the board being hospitalized, school life seemed much calmer.
The only pity was that Director Itaru, Hachiman also thought was a good person, still hadn't returned. He only occasionally saw Arisu Sakayanagi and found her quite calm, which put Hachiman at ease.
He treats many people as tools and meal tickets, but he also hopes that... Director Banyan can come back, because he is much more professional than Tsukishiro.
Under the leadership of Chairman Sakayanagi, he accumulated his first 40 million yen.
So I like this atmosphere where I can make money.
However, there's no need to worry too much about the Acting Chairman Tsukishiro now, because he has already gone to the hospital.
I can't go back to school for the time being.
"..."
"..."
Hachiman often feels that his thinking is being assimilated, wondering why judging a person always involves considering whether that person is usable.
So, is it because I was subtly influenced by this school?
So, he stayed in bed late again today.
Because of the incident of a current classmate dropping out, not only the students in the class, but the entire first grade seemed much quieter.
Now there's no need to push them; they'll study diligently on their own.
Because.
The existence of those who dropped out of school made them realize that the world they lived in was not so easy.
Although some people felt that things could be done gradually and there was no need to work so hard, and that they weren't in that much danger, as an observer of humanity, Hachiman, while noticing these people, would not say another word to them.
After all.
As long as Chairman Sakayanagi doesn't return, there will only be more and more exams related to dropping out of school.
Therefore, someone in your class also needs to deal with various dropout exams.
So if some people aren't putting in the effort, wouldn't it be better to contribute to the class and keep everyone else safe?
"Want to go have breakfast together?"
Because it was the weekend, Hachiman invited Suzune Horikita, who had no friends.
"No." But unfortunately, this girl still prefers to be alone. She basically won't go out with Hachiman unless it's necessary, and there are still a few days until the next exam.
While sitting in the elevator, Hachiman encounters the angelic Kikyo Kushida. She is talking to Ibuki and Ishizaki, students from Class D.
Upon noticing him, Ibuki remained silent, while Ishizaki looked at him with a strange expression.
Good morning, Hachiman.
Kushida greeted him first, with a smile, but Hachiman knew her well; she was like a rose with thorns.
She seems to be in a bad mood these past few days.
It seems I need to find an opportunity for her to vent her emotions again.
However, this won't do, because if new students come in, her emotions will definitely be amplified.
So we need to find a way to help her better manage her emotions.
Hachiman was deep in thought.
But.
There were still people in the elevator.
"Congratulations." Hachiman casually greeted Kushida, then turned to Ishizaki and Ibuki from Class D. "Ryuen has been granted exemption from expulsion in this exam."
"..." Ibuki.
Ibuki didn't say anything.
However, Ishizaki was looking at Hachiman with a strange gaze, from head to toe.
??
Hachiman felt something was off.
"That--"
Ishizaki finally spoke up, saying, "During his breaks, Ryuen always mentions you, saying that your value is very important. He also said he'd save up money to poach you."
"Hachiman Hikigaya..." he paused, "Have you decided to come to our class?"
"Don't worry about the 20 million Private Points, we can definitely raise them. So our class will pay for the 20 million points for skipping a class. You think it's tiring to teach those idiots in Class C? Coming to our class will definitely make things much easier for you," Ishizaki said. "Ryuen also said that he will give us a reasonable living allowance, and you can keep the rest."
Um.
That's reality.
Class D has had a score of 0 for a long time, and they only managed to get some living expenses this month. However, they are still far from the 50,000 yuan they need to live comfortably each month.
So why bother with promoting them to a higher class? Let's just give them enough living expenses first.
This is the general idea of students in Class D.
"Oh, this—" Hachiman did indeed try to fool Ryuen in this way.
I also think going to Ryuen's class is a good idea.
But is it appropriate to say such things in this kind of situation?
Because he had other classmates around him.
Really.
"Cough cough—"
Kushida couldn't help but cough.
Because she suddenly realized that 20 million points could allow people to skip classes, or could be used to ensure graduation from Class A.
But you can also buy it from someone else.
Meanwhile, Hachiman Hikigaya was bought by Class D...
Isn't that great? Sometimes Hachiman Hikigaya forces her to study or improve her skills, saying that he pays her money so she can graduate from Class A. But there are some things she still has to learn, otherwise even if she graduates from Class A, it won't be a real achievement. So Kushida is now required to study hard.
Therefore, if Hachiman Hikigaya is bought, she will gain more freedom.
Profound.
No.
Perhaps it will be a tragedy.
Because he won't be helping her earn money anymore, and she can't even imagine how low the class's final evaluation score would be. In other words, she has to start living a frugal life from now on.
She couldn't save money while in school, but after graduating and marrying him, she still had to earn money to support him.
He works every day, has no holidays, and stays at home all the time. He can even sleep in like he did today.
"..."
This life seems to have no end in sight.
"..."
Kushida was considering the potentially dangerous nature of the situation.
"This proposal is acceptable," Hachiman finally said. "Once you gather the 20 million points, I will immediately agree to the class transfer."
The Class A and Class B, while the classes that are in Class C or Class D and are promoted to Class A are subject to manipulation by the school, which controls the class evaluation scores and exams to bring them down.
However, the students in Ryuen's class had been hungry for some time.
Ryuen also went into seclusion.
Now most people have given up on graduating from Class A, so they all want to save some money.
So it's great that Class D has already come to this realization.
However, there is also a disadvantage.
That means if a lower-ranked class's score exceeds that of Class A, it will be demoted.
So even if you want to accumulate points, you won't accumulate many.
However, this is normal.
Now, however, an abnormal choice has emerged.
Because.
Regarding the school's rules and regulations, this reflects the righteous and unwavering insistence of Chairman Banliu.
Currently, the Chairman Tsukishiro, who is hospitalized.
If it were Chairman Banliu, he definitely wouldn't let Class C or Class D fly; he would suppress them if they did. But Tsukishiro is different. He might be able to raise the score to far exceed Class A. Although he will definitely be punished by the higher-ups for not following the rules, he will eventually bring down the lower-ranked classes.
But so what?
At that time, Hachiman had probably saved enough money for himself, his sister, and his wife so that they wouldn't have to work.
"..."
So.
Hachiman actually has a bit of a crush on Chairman Tsukishiro.
If he can confirm that the other party is not going to drop out of Kiyotaka Ayanokoji immediately, and is willing to give some Special Exam to help students improve their grades, then he is willing to help.
Ah owe.
Tsukishiro sat on the bed, needing to be immobilized due to his fracture.
Splash!
However, when the curtains in his private hospital room were suddenly pulled open, the glaring sunlight made him very uncomfortable. Nevertheless, he obediently took out his phone to report the situation to the man.
Kiyotaka Ayanokoji will need some time before dropping out of school.
