Hachiman's Meritocracy Classroom Chapter 48

Her eyes blinked softly.

It seemed to be saying, 'Did you break the camera on purpose, or was it for the class?'

In other words, had she finally understood that he wasn't the type of boisterous guy, but had done it intentionally?

In order to reveal all the current points to everyone.

But Kushida, it's no use blinking so cutely right now. She already found you unreliable for not helping him earlier.

Hachiman thought to himself.

Chapter 057: You can offend the entire class in 3 minutes, only you can do it, Horikita! (Second update!)

After being informed that there was still a behavioral assessment lasting over twenty days.

"How could I possibly do that!"

A male student said, "In other words, we lost over 500 points in just 6 days, and there are still over twenty days left this month. Next month, we'll definitely have no living expenses!"

"I don't want that!"

This male student said, "And the stuff about guaranteed university admission and employment rates are all lies!"

"The school has deceived us!" this male student declared.

"Oh?" Chabashira Sae's slender eyes looked over.

"Then you can choose to withdraw," Chabashira-sensei said.

"And this is also something I need to distribute to you all."

Chabashira took down a stack of documents she had brought to the podium and walked over to the students in the first row, having them pass them down.

It was like passing out test papers.

But.

These were not test papers.

[I, XXX, due to personal reasons, voluntarily choose to withdraw from Advanced Nurturing High School.

Signature.]

"..."

Hey, hey, hey, what is going on!

Are they just letting people withdraw so casually?

Of course, they're letting people withdraw casually, but it's just a show of force.

She had experience as a homeroom teacher for one year, so for troublesome students like this, directly proposing withdrawal was enough.

"B-but how could this be..."

The troublesome student also received the agreement.

However, he did not fill in his name.

Because.

Although it was excessive, the fact that accommodation, tuition, and living expenses were covered was something that external schools couldn't even compare to.

So, he wasn't an idiot, why would he choose to withdraw himself?

And Chabashira-sensei was no longer looking at that student.

"Once a withdrawal application is accepted, it will be submitted to the student council. After the Student Council President stamps and confirms it, the applicant will need to leave the school within 2 hours. If they do not comply, forceful removal will be applied,"

Chabashira-sensei said without any mercy.

"Waaah—"

She's so beautiful, like a mature older sister.

Yet she said such cruel words with her 37-degree Celsius mouth.

Some of the girls were already intimidated.

"Um, everyone, it's fate that we could all come to this school," Hirata said quickly. "So please don't casually talk about withdrawing or anything."

He probably hated seeing any student in trouble or anyone withdrawing the most.

After all, in everyone's eyes, he was like a little sun, embracing everyone.

"But now that we know the points we need to adhere to, if we persevere, we can pass safely," Hirata said. "And even if we can't keep 400 points, if we can keep 300 points, everyone will still receive 30,000 for living expenses next month."

"Eh..." XN

Although Hirata was very popular, this time, unlike before, everyone didn't agree with him.

Because.

It was the sixth day since enrollment.

Their class had only 480 points left out of the 1000 class evaluation points.

Averaging it out, they had been deducted an average of 74 points per day for the first six days.

It's now May, so there are 25 days left.

Even if you don't divide 480 points by 25, just losing 20 points a day feels difficult.

"Um, everyone—"

At this moment, Kushida, who had been called out earlier, also joined the fray.

After all.

While proposing that everyone adhere to behavioral norms and discipline at this time might lower their favorability.

But she's the class angel, thinking of everyone, so naturally she couldn't just say nothing.

So she joined Hirata's side, hoping everyone would properly follow discipline.

"To be promoted to Class A, or rather, even if we can't... then for our living expenses next month, please do your best in the time remaining."

"If we can still have 300 points left, then with 30,000 points next month, we can barely get by if we save a little."

Kushida said, clasping her hands together.

But the current evaluation affects next month's living expenses, so even if others have no ambition to be promoted to Class A, they will still try.

"So it's related to living expenses."

Yeah.

It's directly related to themselves.

"And if we don't get 300 points, only 200 points... then we'll have 20,000 for living expenses. With a minimum consumption of 600 points per day in the cafeteria, it seems like it might be enough."

Some students began to waver.

Because if they didn't comply with the school's rules, they would be expelled.

They definitely didn't want to be expelled.

So, they would work hard to get their living expenses.

However, the so-called 300 or 200 points were nowhere near Hachiman's requirements.

If he wanted to try for Class A once, he needed at least 400 points as a base.

But for the students in this class, even if someone took the lead in imposing restrictions, it was hard to say if they could even retain 200 points in the end.

So, it's not enough, still not enough.

If they could accomplish it just by verbally agreeing, they wouldn't have lost so many points in these past few days.

Therefore, Hirata and Kushida's proposals were too gentle.

Not enough.

"..." Hachiman.

So Hachiman focused his attention on Suzune Horikita to his left.

Although Horikita felt that Hirata had stolen her lines earlier, Hirata had completed the task of relieving the pressure on Hachiman Hikigaya, so she had no reason to step in.

But now.

Suzune Horikita frowned.

She was probably surprised by the content of the behavioral norms.

After all, not fidgeting in class, not being late or leaving early, not touching phones—aren't these the most basic qualities a student should possess?

So why were the people around her showing such solemn expressions?

Only now.

Hachiman scanned the gazes of the surrounding students.

Some students already seemed to be backing down.

Deciding to just comply and give it a try.

However, there were still more students with troubled expressions.

And he didn't believe that Hirata and Kushida's gentle offensive could guarantee that all the students would comply.

So.

As expected.

Restrictions were necessary.

And these restrictions.

Hachiman looked at Suzune Horikita.

"..." Suzune Horikita.

Suzune Horikita finally noticed his gaze.

Oh?

Was he hoping she would help?

But now.

Yeah.

She had to make a move too.

Hachiman had already exposed the points.

And Hirata and Kushida's so-called friendly persuasion wouldn't be able to get all these students, who had 500 points deducted in six days, to act and comply.

So.

"I find it ridiculous that you would fear these exam questions," Suzune Horikita said, standing up. "I am Suzune Horikita. And in these six days, I haven't had a single point deducted. I don't think this is difficult at all. Rather, it's quite laughable that you can't do it, or that you're afraid."

"Although this is an exam taken as a class, can you please not drag me down?"

It was as expected of Horikita.

She offended everyone the moment she opened her mouth.

Didn't all the classmates look at her in surprise?

However.

"Horikita, aren't you being a bit too absolute with your words..."

Karuizawa, who had asked the question earlier, said.

"That you haven't had a single point deducted..." Karuizawa seemed to find it unbelievable.

Was it because you, Suzune Horikita, could stay away from your phone and not touch it at all during class?
