Because Hachiman Hikigaya- senpai scanned the very first QR code and found the final math problem. And while it was the final problem, the reward was only 10,000 Private Points.

So it's just because he's unlucky?

"I see. I thought you were worried about how difficult it was to manage the other classes, and that you wanted to show off your strength to your own class," Hachiman Hikigaya said.

"Hachiman Hikigaya really knows me well." Ichika seemed to smile slightly. "Indeed, I only chose to act within my own class to declare that I am irreplaceable. This is a school Meritocracy, so if I want to live happily here and have a pleasant high school experience..."

"Then, naturally, I have to make sure I don't get expelled."

"Unless the students in the class have already given up on graduating from Class A, I will not be put on the expulsion list under any circumstances," Ichika Amasawa said.

You really don't hide anything.

There were still some students from Class A present. Hachiman noticed a tall boy with a single bun in his hair and couldn't help but look over when he heard Ichika's words.

Ichika was really high-profile.

Hachiman also understood why Ichika had come to him.

He is the Vice President of the Student Council.

Previously, Yukino was the Class representative of Class A, First Year, but now Ichika's behavior suggests that he is trying to reclaim the sovereignty of Class A.

So, does deliberately arranging Yukino's actions mean that he has successfully seized power?

Generally speaking, this can be understood as follows.

However, Hachiman felt that there might be something more to it.

But.

It's a rare treat to be here in Class A, First Year.

Let's cooperate a little.

"President Sakayanagi has decided to promote you to a full-fledged member of the Student Council. She will have a separate discussion with you later," said Vice President Hachiman.

"Then thank you for the suggestion, President," Ichika said.

As soon as the two of them acted out the scene, the boy with the bun hairstyle who had just been looking over turned around.

This implicitly acknowledges Ichika Amasawa's current status as being at the height of his power.

"By the way, do you have enough points to score on the written test in your class?" Hachiman Hikigaya asked. "My class still needs some extra 10 points on the written test as a bonus."

As a student in the Ryuen's class, Hachiman can't just slack off.

So I have to help garner votes.

The fact that Ryuen was willing to give up the +5 points bonus on the written test to Kanji Ike shows that Ryuen wanted to block the +10 points bonus on the written test.

Then we need to get at least 25 written test bonuses plus 10 points for the students in the class.

But scanning the code is like drawing a lottery ticket.

It's not necessarily the students in your own class who can scan it.

Some of them were also obtained by students from other classes.

Therefore, a transaction must be conducted.

This is also why Hachiman felt that this exam, which involved dragging out the class time, wouldn't be profitable.

The Academic Ability level of this year's first-year students is slightly weaker than that of Hachiman. The gap between the four classes is not as large, and there are also five or six students Academic Ability C- in Class A.

Therefore, if a reward is offered based on the written test scores, Ichika and the others don't need that much.

"My class only needs 6 tickets," Ichika said. "But now the class has issued 11 tickets."

"However," Yukino had been completely focused, interjected, "There are still 3 unclaimed bonuses of +5 points on the written test, and 2 bonuses of +10 points on the written test."

Her phone screen had gone dark.

Clearly, her students had already completed the task. The scanning of the QR codes by the students in her class was basically finished. Therefore, she didn't need to answer any questions.

"We sell a copy for 200,000 yen if you get 5 points on all the written exams, and we sell a copy for 400,000 yen if you get 10 points on all the written exams," Yukino said.

That's really expensive.

"I'm giving you the contact information for Shiina of mine."

"You two should discuss this in detail," Hachiman said.

Then they left with Ibuki.

But he looked at the think tank group 4 that he had joined on his phone.

"By the way, didn't you guys encounter any difficulties in answering the questions?" Hachiman sent a message.

The think tank consists of three students, all from the Class Ichinose, but Hachiman only knows Kanzaki.

The members of this think tank only need to be responsible for 30 questions.

They have now solved about 20 problems.

Kanzaki: There are four questions I can't solve, so I've already sent them to Ichinose.

"Is there any content beyond the curriculum? For example, content that is not in our grade level?"

Kanzaki: So far, none of the content scanned by students from our two classes is beyond the syllabus. The content scanned by the second-year students is all exam content that second-year students might encounter.

Kanzaki: While mobile phones can also scan QR codes, the school asked us to use tablets, probably because they considered our different Academic Ability.

Kanzaki: We use a tablet to scan because the tablet is linked to our grade level, so the questions in the question bank are also regulated and won't be beyond the syllabus. Otherwise, if we encounter a third-grade problem, we basically won't be able to solve it.

Kanzaki must have also considered whether the questions drawn from the question bank would be beyond the scope of the curriculum, so he was relieved to find that there was no such pressure in reality.

But.

Hachiman looked at his reply and pondered.

Because.

Clearly, Ichika Amasawa wasn't telling the truth.

Their class did more than just complete the scanning of QR codes by their own students.

She also took extra orders from older students.

In other words, after Ichika Amasawa enrolled, she started to slack off because she was a White Room student, but now, her desire to make money has suddenly surged.

Hachiman felt the pressure.

"Why did you take so long?" As Hachiman walked to the entrance of the theater, Ibuki hurried over.

Hachiman Yukino right here.

Ibuki was left behind.

"..." Hachiman.

This Ibuki is even less able to read the room than Horikita.

"I negotiated a deal. I managed to get a bonus of 2 written test points plus 10 points from Class A, First Year," Hachiman said.

"I see..."

Upon hearing that it was a serious matter, Ibuki felt that it was reasonable for her to be left here alone.

"I only have one more chance to scan a QR code, so you can just scan any one later. As for Ibuki, you've already completed your task, so you can stop here for this exam," Hachiman said.

"Okay." Ibuki and then walked out.

"..." Hachiman.

So be it.

From this perspective, Hachiman seems to enjoy being with Horikita; at least when he said Horikita could go back first, Horikita didn't leave immediately.

But where can I go next?

Shall we go to McDonald's? We can even order some spicy wings.

Let's go to the library instead.

Thinking this, Hachiman noticed that his phone had received two text messages.

[Rice crackers! Help! Urgent!]

[I'm in the Library] by Iroha Isshiki.

Have to.

I need to go to the library now.

Upon arriving at the library, I found a notice posted at the entrance prohibiting students who were not participating in the Treasure Hunt Game from entering.

There weren't many students in the library.

However, Hachiman still discovered Iroha Isshiki.

All I could see was Isshiki standing on tiptoe, seemingly trying to reach a book on the upper shelf.

Hachiman appears on the opposite side of the bookshelf.

At that moment, the two must have seen each other.

Meanwhile, Isshiki was still standing on tiptoe.

Hachiman walked straight over.

He raised his hand to take the book that Isshiki had just picked up.

But.

"Ha!" Iroha Isshiki subconsciously took two steps back.

"What's with that reaction of yours?" Hachiman Hikigaya had already received the book and was about to hand it to her. "What an infuriating reaction."

"You saw me just now, and you even jumped up on purpose as if you were grabbing a book, but you just wanted me to take it down for you, didn't you?" Hachiman Hikigaya said.

"No, that was just my natural reaction," Isshiki said.

Is this your usual posture?

However, Iroha Isshiki probably misunderstood.

Her expression turned to one of utter shock. "Ha, so Senbei did that just now to try and win my favor, right?"

"I'm sorry, although I'm happy to have someone help me, it's true that calming down and thinking things through isn't very effective."

"—" Does this count as being suddenly rejected?

"So," Hachiman Hikigaya said. "What do you mean by 'helping in an emergency'?"

"Actually!"

Yise's face instantly contorted with despair. "I haven't gotten anything from this exam. I scanned three QR codes in a row, and each one rewarded me with 10,000 Private Points."

"And now I only have one last chance to scan the QR code."

Is that so?

You're unlucky too.

This made Hachiman Hikigaya had received two 10,000-point rewards in a row, very happy.

"So, you came to me because you wanted a good reward, right?" Hachiman said.

"Yes." Isshiki nodded. "So, do you have a solution, senpai?"

"Then why not discuss it with Utsunomiya? If it's a class team operation, you can get a good reward by having someone else scan the code, and then you can claim it."

"Utsunomiya and Sakurako Tsubaki's Academic Ability aren't very good," Iroha Isshiki said. "It can only solve part of the problem, although the students in Class A have said they can make a deal with us."

"And we also made a deal."

"But it's incredibly ruthless. Before the answer to the question is revealed, no matter what the reward is, it costs 50,000 points every time."

"Sometimes you pay after you solve the problem, but that's more expensive, costing 55 points."

"Our class collaborated several times, but we found that the white quilts and wool had accumulated hundreds of thousands of points, so we stopped the collaboration."

Oh, I see.
