Mr. Tsukishiro Works Hard for the Budget: Adults Deceiving Children! (Continued)

When Horikita suddenly brought up this embarrassing topic, Sakura could only continue stargazing and taking pictures.

Because she felt like she had become a third wheel.

Since last year, Horikita and Hachiman have had a good relationship. Although Hachiman went to a different class, he is still often seen going to Horikita's room.

Most of them were after school in the afternoon, and it seems they had dinner together.

Even though Hachiman left the class, their relationship has still been maintained, hasn't it?

So these two still have a great relationship, right?

Therefore, Sakura immediately understood that because she was there, Horikita could not confess to Hachiman, or Hachiman could not confess to Horikita.

Ah, so Sakura really did something bad today?

However, some couples looked at them with suspicion.

Because.

"By the way Hachiman, weren't you here with some other girls yesterday?"

"Why did you have a new female companion again today?"

Some couples stayed here for two consecutive days.

Then I noticed this scene.

Hachiman has changed girlfriends again.

And this time they even brought two of them together.

"Shh! Don't talk nonsense." But the boy's female companion quickly interrupted him, "What if you offend her? Besides, it's normal for an outstanding guy to be favored by different girls."

"Understood." The boy nodded.

Hachiman is also the Vice President of the Student Council. In addition, he was so reliable when his students were injured that he directed almost all the boys in the grade to find the culprit for the injured students.

Such people should not be slandered.

Or rather...

We shouldn't slander them either.

As an ordinary student in Class D, he still had to thank Hachiman the stable life he provided.

On the other side...

Tsukishiro has also arranged to meet with the first-year students.

To be precise, the five students from First-year Class D who were at the bottom of the exam group were invited out.

"Um... Acting Chairman Tsukishiro— "

The five students looked at the smiling middle-aged man in front of them with some trepidation.

For some reason, I have a feeling that he's a smiling tiger.

"I think the results of this exam have already been announced, so you should all be mentally prepared," Tsukishiro said. "Prepare to drop out of school."

Yes, yes.

Oh, so that's what you were talking about.

Shiratori, who had once opposed Hōsen in class and Academic Ability was B-, felt relieved that taking 2 million yen in cash back home was not bad.

"This ship is equipped with a helicopter," Tsukishiro said. "It will be back as early as tomorrow morning."

"You'll take this plane back to school first."

Oh, I see.

The five students didn't have much of an opinion.

Although I was a little disappointed to have to leave early, after all, the experience of traveling on such a luxury ship is probably very rare in one's lifetime.

And maybe they can brag about it when they get back.

And so it ends here.

However, being able to take away 2 million in cash is not bad at all.

The five students were in a relatively good mood.

But Tsukishiro continued, "Because your homeroom teacher arranged for Hōsen to return to school to process your withdrawal, the punishment for your withdrawal has been delayed. So let's begin now."

"We will arrange for you to return to school tomorrow."

"Then each of you will receive 100,000 yuan in cash as travel expenses, and you will have to sign a confidentiality agreement, so that you can't reveal any of the school's rules or secrets."

"These can all be done, right?" Chairman Tsukishiro appeared quite amiable.

That's how it is.

The students had no objections to these regulations.

"Then."

Tsukishiro smiled. "Do you all have your phones with you now?"

"I brought it." X5

"Then hand over all your phones," Tsukishiro said. "Since the expulsion penalty has been issued, we can no longer give you the phones; they need to be taken back, including the amount of Private Points on them."

"Huh?"

Everyone was taken aback.

"That..."

"Acting Chairman Tsukishiro! This isn't what we agreed on!" One of the students from Class D immediately became anxious.

Because everyone's points are stored in their student ID cards on their phones and haven't been cashed out yet.

So if they are taken back now, doesn't that mean... everyone will have their money wiped out and they'll have to drop out of school?

This isn't what we agreed on!

"I see."

Tsukishiro said, "Normally, after the school announces a student's withdrawal, the withdrawal process needs to be completed within 2 hours, and the student only has 2 hours to stay."

"During this time, if you still have Private Points on your student ID on your phone, you can use them to buy items, and the school will not prevent you from taking [your personal belongings] out."

"So this is a way to monetize."

"And the school will also collect the points from the students at a certain rate when the third-year students graduate, and settle the accounts in cash."

"However, students who drop out of school midway do not receive such benefits."

"So most students choose to buy items and resell them outside."

"But now, more than a day has passed since yesterday's announcement of the exam results."

"So."

"You have actually already lost the opportunity to buy items and resell them," Chairman Tsukishiro said.

"However, I'm not a heartless person," Tsukishiro said.

"So what do we do?" The freshmen in First-year Class D felt that the situation had taken a turn for the better.

"I can make an exception and let you transfer your points to students you think are reliable before submitting your phones. When they graduate from their third year, you can ask them to redeem the points for you. Finally, when they graduate, you can come to the school gate to pick them up again," Tsukishiro said.

Oh, this.

It can be said that Tsukishiro's plan is feasible.

If we make an exception and allow them to transfer their points to a reliable person, they can still eventually exchange them for cash.

But.

Where can you find reliable people at a time like this?

With graduation so far away, won't they spend the money? Or will they simply refuse to acknowledge it at all?

So... Shall we look for Hachiman Hikigaya? Because he arranged and directed this exam, Hachiman Hikigaya promised.

The reason for giving points now is that students are temporarily unable to return to school.

But they're about to be expelled!

"Do we have no other choice?"

Although I think Hachiman Hikigaya is reliable, they are about to be kicked out, so they won't get any cash. Besides, they will all drop out of school by then, so they will be worthless.

This is a school that Meritocracy.

How can you expect anything from others if you have no value?

"You're quite clever," Tsukishiro, looking at the student named Shiratori. "Actually, there's another plan."

"I specifically called you here this time, instead of notifying you after the helicopter arrives tomorrow, to give you an opportunity."

"Have you ever thought about not having to drop out?" Chairman Tsukishiro asked. "Our school has always had a shortage of students, and you are all students we have carefully selected."

"Five of you dropping out at once puts a lot of pressure on us."

In other words, does the chairman mean that they are very important?

Yes.

Their Academic Ability are all B- or above, and one of them is A-.

In other words, they might stay and try to fight back?

"Moreover, there is one very important point: although the strength of the four classes is somewhat different, the number of outstanding students is about the same. So if the five of you leave at once, then First-year Class D is practically rendered useless."

"As an educator, this is not what I want to see. What I want to see is you growing through hard work and perseverance," Tsukishiro said.

I see.

The chairman was acting from the perspective of the class.

Indeed.

The other party was a high-ranking official from the school, so naturally they were taking a higher perspective.

And they didn't realize how important they were.

So, the first-year students exchanged glances.

"So, Chairman, what will we get if we agree to your request?"

Oh wow.

These children.

It seems I've learned a bit about the rules of this school.

"Submit the application for exemption from expulsion according to the normal procedures," Tsukishiro said. "You have a total of 12.5 million points, right? If the school exempts you from expulsion, it will take 10.5 million. But I will fight for you and only take 10 million in the end. So not only will no one be expelled, but each of you will also receive a reward of 500,000."

What do you guys think?

What do you think?

This offer, while tempting at the prospect of leaving with 2 million, would leave everyone with only 100,000 for travel expenses if they refused.

And.

Staying means you'll still have to take exams, and maybe even have the opportunity to earn money on your own.

Yes.

You can earn your own money!

As junior students, they followed Hachiman Hikigaya's instructions and discovered Hachiman Hikigaya plan to collect item cards. In the end, what seemed like an inconspicuous set of item cards could actually generate a value of 2.12 million!

So.

If they stay and learn from the experience, wouldn't they be able to get some benefits too?

Judging from the students' expressions, Tsukishiro knew that these sheep were willing to have all their wool plucked.

In this way.
