Hōsen, Are You Convinced Yet? Hōsen: This Is a Scam!

Even though his palm was clearly pierced, he didn't cry out in pain, didn't flinch, and his expression remained completely unchanged.

What kind of monster is this?

"Well then," Kiyotaka Ayanokoji said. "Teacher, when we enrolled, you said that points could buy everything, is that true?"

"So, you can buy your silence with points?" Kiyotaka Ayanokoji asked.

"..." Majima-sensei remained silent, but that meant it was available for purchase.

"But we don't have any money," Yukimura said.

Yes.

They didn't have any savings either.

And they wanted to bribe the teachers or something.

"Send a message to Hōsen," Hirata said. "Hōsen should pay for this. Didn't he already receive a 1 million yen deposit?"

"Grass!"

Hōsen, on the other hand, was very dissatisfied.

And the next day.

The students noticed that Kiyotaka Ayanokoji was acting strangely.

"Why is Kiyotaka Ayanokoji's left hand bandaged?" someone asked.

"I got scalded while boiling water yesterday," Kiyotaka Ayanokoji said.

"Hey. Is the boiling water that hot?"

"I've also been scalded by boiling water before."

The students didn't pay much attention.

Because, more importantly, their class had finally completed forming teams.

Yukimura and his group went to negotiate yesterday, and the negotiations were successful. First-year Class D will cooperate with them in this exam.

Therefore, none of them should be expelled.

Everyone was in a good mood.

Only.

"Everyone!"

Hirata wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Every time I look in Kiyotaka Ayanokoji's direction, I feel like it's something special.

Because Kiyotaka Ayanokoji is really good at enduring.

Despite the severity of his injury, he showed no signs of distress.

However, everyone has secrets they don't want to tell others, so he couldn't press him for details.

Then they asked Yukimura to help keep it a secret as well.

Otherwise.

If they knew that Kiyotaka Ayanokoji would receive 20 million yen for dropping out of school, there would definitely be some people in the class who couldn't resist.

"Although we can cooperate with the juniors in First-year Class D this time," Hirata said, "It's still very dangerous if our Academic Ability is too low."

So, the same as before.

"The tutoring session has begun!" Hirata announced.

Perhaps because of yesterday's experience of being left behind when everyone wanted to form a team, the students in the class became more well-behaved.

Then.

Following Hirata's plan, they began to join their respective tutoring groups.

This exam will only assess the content covered in the classes scheduled for the next month.

It may not seem like much content, but it includes material beyond the scope of the curriculum.

Nobody thought about the parts that were beyond the syllabus, but we should try to get as many points as possible for the other parts.

And since everyone probably knows that written tests are quite important, you can often see first- and second-year students studying at school.

Except for this person.

"Meow--"

Hachiman took Kamuro's cat for a walk.

As a result, I unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance.

"If you're unsure which to choose, I suggest you get them all."

The other person was standing in front of a dessert shop.

Then he seemed to be looking at the menu.

Having already witnessed Ichinose's Matoba, Hachiman took the initiative to approach her and strike up a conversation.

"No," the other person said. "Actually, I wanted to try everything from the beginning."

"I've already tried the menu on the left."

So are you now going to try the menu on the right?

You're very brave.

Hachiman had seen Ibuki watch movies as a person and an interest.

But now it seems that Ichika Amasawa is actually someone who wants to enjoy all kinds of delicious food.

So, what exactly was the White Room where she used to live?

It filled her with curiosity about the outside world and also made her very interested in food.

It seems like they want to experience everything from the past.

"Then I'll pay for your meal," Hachiman said. "You can also explore the shops in this area."

"Just write down your opinion on whether it tastes good or not."

He remembered that Kamuro was often asked by Sakayanagi to do these kinds of restaurant reviews.

Kamuro was so full he almost threw up.

This is a good opportunity to switch to a major that matches my skills.

Oh?

Ichika Amasawa, blinked.

They probably didn't expect such a good thing to happen.

"I can't accept something for nothing," said Ichika Amasawa. "Is there anything you want Hachiman Hikigaya?"

Is there anything you want?

"So, can you get 100 points in all your subjects?" Hachiman asked. "You have an A in your Academic Ability, don't you?"

"If you can get 500 points, I only need to get 1 point. Besides, I haven't been studying lately."

"..." Ichika Amasawa.

Indeed.

In this cross-grade written exam, she teamed up with this senior student.

"What a difficult senior to deal with," said Ichika Amasawa.

"Because humans have limits," Hachiman said. "But geniuses have enormous potential."

"It seems you know quite a lot, senior." Ichika Amasawa then turned around and smiled.

"Perhaps," Hachiman said. "Just tell me if you agree or not."

"I agree. I'll reimburse you for the cost of visiting the restaurant."

In this way.

After returning home, Hachiman asked Kamuro for the money he had earned from visiting the restaurant and then gave it to the first-year student.

Then.

On April 27th, first and second graders took their first Special Exam of the semester.

All the students were sitting in the classroom, waiting for the exam papers to be handed out.

Then.

Just as I expected.

The 20% of the marks that were handed out were for questions I didn't recognize.

Chapter 013 Hōsen, are you convinced now? Hōsen: This is fraud!

Just as Horikita had inquired, Hachiman immediately recognized the advanced questions he saw when the first math exam was handed out.

For an average student, this exam paper would only be worth 80 points.

Because I can only do 80 points.

Therefore, the difficulty of the upcoming exam papers can be imagined.

Because it was a very tight exam, no one was thinking about anything else; everyone was focused on answering the questions.

After all, this is a team exam. Although it is set that no easy questions can be given, if the first-year exam is also difficult, wouldn't their chances of dropping out increase?

So even if it's a question I don't know how to answer, I'll still write down the answer.

In this way.

All day long, the classroom was filled with the sound of students answering questions.

But.

After the exam, many students started to let loose.

Some people have already said they don't want to participate in things like tutoring anymore.

Hachiman doesn't want to talk about this anymore. Or rather, some people are truly beyond saving.

Hachiman sat in his seat.

The black-haired girl sitting next to him had her hands on her knees. When she saw his gaze coming towards her, she turned her body towards him, but seemed to want to say something but hesitated, hesitating to speak.

Hachiman knew what was going on.

After this exam, once he receives his living expenses on the 1st of next month, Hachiman will head to Second Year Class D.

For Horikita, however, he had truly left the class.

So.

Can she really treat him as an enemy?

Although he didn't get a reply from Horikita, Hachiman did encounter another Horikita on his way back to the dorm after dinner—or rather, someone who looked somewhat like Horikita.

This person is spraying water with a hose.

With her head slightly lowered, her jet-black single ponytail, tall figure, and black stockings made her instantly recognizable as Chabashira-sensei.

Perhaps hearing footsteps that suddenly stopped, Sae Chabashira recognized the dead-fish-eyed boy immediately.

It wasn't a pleasant meeting.

Hachiman's departure from Class B means that Horikita has become their rival class.

The same applies to Chabashira.
