A Stingy Special Exam: The Treasure Hunt! (Continued)

So.

It seems like Asahina-senpai came out on top, but Hachiman is the real winner.

He wanted three spots, so 400 x 3 would save him 12 million.

So one of these three spots is for Kushida's assistance, another is for Archangel Ichinose's introduction, and the extra spot is for Kushida.

This was because she had made a promise to Horikita's brother; he had led his sister astray, and she had to correct her ways.

This is a school that Meritocracy, so graduating in Class A would be a good achievement.

Therefore, Hachiman has now given Horikita a new instruction: to collect 16 million yen.

If she raises 16 million, then giving her the opportunity to Class Advancement wouldn't be a bad idea.

Even if it's not finished while we're still in school, Horikita, he'll definitely give it to us after graduation.

So Hachiman wasn't worried at all about Horikita defaulting on his debt.

Rather, he actually trusted her character. He also believed that although her personality might make it difficult for her to make friends or offend people, she wanted to study medicine and wanted to become a doctor in the future.

Therefore, her serious and meticulous attitude is most suitable for medicine.

This attitude will allow her to go through a rigorous medical training process and become an excellent and reliable doctor.

"So, were the 6 million points collected earlier divided equally among you all?" Hachiman asked.

"Yes." The senior student nodded. "Everyone took out the points they received from the school over the past two months and divided them equally."

"Two months have passed since Ya dropped out of school, and we managed to scrape together 6 million."

"That's good." Hachiman Hikigaya nodded slightly. "This way, you still have a way out, senior."

"A way out?" The senior student stared at him.

"Buying Kiryuin Fuka is a gamble," Hachiman said. "Although the success rate is high, there is still a risk of failure."

"So," Hachiman Hikigaya paused, "Even if this strategy fails, you still have resources, don't you?"

There's still capital left.

Indeed.

Asahina earned nearly 6 million Private Points as a reward in the recently concluded Uninhabited Island Exam.

Currently, she still has over 5 million yuan that belongs to her.

She hasn't used this share yet; it belongs to her personally.

So she had always suspected that her Hachiman Hikigaya, was deliberately making her earn money. Now, he had directly lent them these points, which was a timely help and at the same time ensured that she could continue to accumulate points and advance to the next class with 20 million Class Advancement.

So.

She was actually wondering if Hachiman Hikigaya, also had feelings for her.

Of course, thinking this way makes people happy, but it's also a bit agonizing.

He didn't react when I looked at him like that.

Moreover, choosing this plan for the whole class to take out a debt is actually a good thing for Asahina-senpai.

The original amount was 16 million, but there was a shortfall of 10 million. She had actually considered borrowing it first and then talking to Kiryuin to take on the 10 million debt.

If the entire class successfully Class Advancement the next class, then the others will share the 10 million yen; if they fail, then the students of Kiryuin will be responsible for the 10 million yen themselves.

After all, they've already given her a stage and cooperated with her, but she still lost after all that. So, Kiryuin will definitely have to pay for the 10 million yen himself.

She feels that the current situation is acceptable.

She was worried that she would graduate and leave soon, and then it would be difficult to contact her Hachiman Hikigaya.

However, if everyone owes Hachiman Hikigaya money, and it can only be paid off in three years, then as one of the debtors in charge, wouldn't she be able to continue to contact Hachiman Hikigaya more during this period?

In other words...

Even after graduation, I can still openly contact my Hachiman Hikigaya.

Therefore...

It's good to be in debt.

Asahina acted swiftly.

Meanwhile, Hachiman quickly received an invitation from Chairman Tsukishiro, which suggests that he really wants to shamelessly get points to fill the budget.

Then.

After paying points for the three spots in the Class Advancement exam in Hachiman, they signed an additional agreement in the presence of their four familiar homeroom teachers.

Students who are allowed to pay the fees can then go to Class A upon graduation and graduate as students of Class A.

This agreement will remain in effect even if Chairman Tsukishiro resigns.

Watching Hachiman leave.

"Congratulations, Acting Chairman Tsukishiro. The budget issue is now resolved," Majima-sensei said expressionlessly. "You can continue setting questions now."

"Not at all," Tsukishiro said with a smile.

"I don't understand at all." That's what Sakagami Digital-sensei felt.

The two notaries are Hachiman's two homeroom teachers from the past and present, Chabashira and Sakagami.

This time, Hachiman Hikigaya bought the last chance for three students to graduate from Class A for 16 million yen each, but in the end, they all ended up in other classes.

"Oh no, none of my students are included... I understand," Sakagami said. "Because they're not needed."

"Because we'll be promoted to Class A on our own," Sakagami-sensei said, brimming with fighting spirit.

But.

How pitiful.

Chairman Tsukishiro looked at Sakagami-sensei and thought to himself.

This is because it's a level of authority and work direction that only the chairman of the board would know.

That is to guide students to compete in the class, to reflect and grow in each Special Exam, and to accumulate enough social experience.

And... the classes that were truly taken seriously were the original Class A and the original Class B, which is why the students in the two top classes were generally of higher quality than those in the bottom classes.

Then, we need to be careful that if a lower-ranked class rises up and surpasses Class A, then we should discourage them.

After all, graduates represent the reputation of the school, and you can't just put out any mediocre graduates.

So.

Sakagami-sensei, although your Class D seems to be rising and even catching up, it is regrettable that it was determined from the time you entered the school that your class was just a normal tool to accompany Class A and Class B, a special existence selected to increase their understanding of the diversity of society.

"Ichinose was actually pushed into the Class A track by Hachiman Hikigaya."

Meanwhile, Hoshinomiya murmured to herself.

Because this Hachiman: Suzune Horikita from the Chabashira class, Kikyo Kushida from the Chabashira class, and Honami Ichinose from her class.

Doesn't this mean that Ichinose won't be able to surpass Class A in the future, so her class won't be able to graduate as Class A?

As the original teacher of Class B, Hoshinomiya would definitely be dissatisfied.

However, it didn't happen.

For Chie Hoshinomiya now...

"Hachiman actually paid the fee for Ichinose to Class Advancement Ichinose."

So, why is that?

"I was still thinking about whether to hint to Ichinose to make contact with Hachiman, but now Hachiman Hikigaya has already paid the fee for Ichinose's Class Advancement!"

"Ichinose! How could you have developed so well without her knowing?!" Hoshinomiya-sensei was screaming inwardly.

"Eh—" The other teacher present, Majima, seemed rather calm.

Because Majima-sensei good mood right now.

As the teacher of Class A, he believed he was fair enough and had the rules for Class A teachers, but it was still quite distressing if his class kept falling behind.

Therefore, he actually believed that the students in his class could eventually graduate as Class A.

However, apart from Class D, which has never occupied Class A position, the other three classes have all been Class A, so it's hard to say what will happen in the next two years.

However, the Hachiman Hikigaya would sign such an agreement and purchase such Class Advancement slots means that he actually acknowledges that Class A will not change hands in the end.

So as the teacher of Class A, he felt reassured.

At the same time.

The three students also received the message from the school on their phones.

[Congratulations, Honami Ichinose / Kikyo Kushida / Suzune Horikita! Hachiman -kun has paid the final points required for your graduation in Class A. You now have the opportunity to move to your desired class at any time. Please do not be expelled from the school before graduation, otherwise your chance to Class Advancement will be forfeited as a penalty for not being expelled.] by the school.

This is a message sent by the school.

The only difference is the recipient's name; all other information is sent to multiple recipients.

"Huh?" Ichinose was looking at her phone when she saw the notification and blinked.

Because she knew absolutely nothing about this.

"This is—"

Kushida also received the message.

This is the information about Class Advancement from the school. Judging from the wording, as long as she doesn't get expelled and survives until graduation, she should be able to graduate in Class A.

But.

Isn't this something you can choose when you graduate?

He would only give her 20 million points if she was chosen by him and married him, but he gave it to her now...

Does this mean that... Hachiman Hikigaya has already chosen her in his heart?

Wait, so she's really getting married right after graduation?

Although I was somewhat mentally prepared, when it actually happens, I'm sure I'll be very nervous!

Perhaps feeling a bit down, Kushida went out with her friends, but then decided to go back to her room to process her feelings.

On the other side.

[Congratulations, Suzune Horikita! Hachiman has paid the final points needed for your graduation in Class A... blah blah blah.]

Horikita also received the message from the school.

She's eating at this time.

She doesn't actually like using her phone much, after all, she's the kind of person who can spend 10 hours a day reading books.

Therefore, I don't rely on my phone much.

However, this also means that sometimes I can't reply to messages in a timely manner.

Sakura also taught her how to set special messages or ringtones for people she needed to pay attention to.

And now, a special ringtone sounds.

It was a message from Hachiman.

[I've secured you a spot in the last Class A graduation ceremony at a low price, 16 million yen. If you can save up enough before graduation, your brother will probably approve of you.] by Hachiman Hikigaya.

I see.

This text message was sent by the school.

And now, Hachiman is saying this...

In other words, the task that Hachiman gave her has already begun.

Only.

They had no idea that this was simply because Hachiman discovered that Class Advancement was much cheaper, so she bought it while the price was low.

There is no particular psychological bias.
