Ichinose's Class! Awakens! (Continued)

Of that, 7 million was even borrowed!

"I think it's still very necessary," Kanzaki said firmly.

We are now on the third question. It is uncertain whether the option of dropping out will appear in the next two questions, but if you miss this opportunity to buy a discount to avoid dropping out, you will not have this opportunity again.

And.

If you are facing the situation of dropping out of school.

He also understands the law.

The points that everyone has accumulated so far will not be used.

Even classmates won't incur debt.

However, he said, "Because the school only collects points for six months, while we will be staying at this school for about two years."

"As for the debt problem, that's easy to solve," Kanzaki said. "The school takes half of the living expenses, and we just need to pay the remaining half for three consecutive months, and that will solve the problem."

"And didn't we already do that after the Class Vote to drop out of school last year?" Kanzaki, standing in her seat, as if she were appealing to everyone.

It immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding companions.

But.

Huh?

In other words, even considering the worst-case scenario, their class is currently 7 million yuan in debt, and they would only need to go without living expenses for 3 months to pay it off.

They had actually experienced not having any living expenses for three months.

Just last year, before the election of the new Student Council President, I got to know many of the third-year students who ate the free, unpalatable mountain vegetable meals together.

I learned a lot from my seniors, such as bringing your own seasonings or taking the ingredients back to the dormitory to boil water and blanch them before eating, which would make them taste much better.

Although life was tough and difficult back then, they felt it was all worth it compared to being able to protect a comrade.

And now.

If eating the mountain vegetable meal for another 3 months can give Ichinose a chance to avoid expulsion, it doesn't seem like a bad thing.

But.

"If that's the case, I suggest choosing the first option." However, Ichinose had been resisting the whole time, said, "If paying half of my living expenses is just to get me a spot without having to drop out, I don't think it's necessary."

"Option 1 offers better value for money."

Option one is that the whole class will not receive living expenses for six months, and then three students can be randomly selected to receive a protection spot to avoid expulsion.

The advantage is that three people can be exempted from one expulsion penalty.

However, the downside is that this opportunity is random, so anyone could be a candidate.

But because it's random, it's very fair.

It is worthy of all those who have worked hard.

Of course, there are also some risks.

That means the class evaluation scores may change over the next six months.

It may go up or down.

If the score drops, the school will take the living expenses equivalent to the class evaluation score they received, according to the agreement.

So when you calculate it back then, it's even cheaper.

If the price increases, they will have to pay more points to the school, reducing the cost-effectiveness.

But.

These are all things for the future.

Only.

Ichinose, you've been morally blackmailed all of a sudden.

The whole class offered you a spot, but you refused to accept it, so you chose three spots through a fair, random selection.

However, this is exactly what Kanzaki wanted to see.

So he added on his own initiative.

"If we choose option one, then our class will encounter some problems. First, our class's evaluation score of 98 points is based on an agreement with Hachiman."

"And the school takes our living expenses without caring who we owe."

"So this part of the points, as well as the points of Kushida, Horikita, and some other people who lost money."

"I'll take care of coordinating it," Kanzaki said.

"Although this school is a closed system, it is not completely cut off from contact with the outside world. Last year, Hirata from Horikita's class, went out of the school."

"So, bringing in external funds is also an option," Kanzaki said. "I'll get cash from outside, then exchange it for points with the school, and pay Hachiman, Horikita, and Kushida who are in arrears."

"?"

No one reacted for a moment.

However, Kanzaki added, "Actually, my family is quite well-off, and I have several million yen in cash myself. So I support Ichinose's fair choice of option one."

"I'll figure out how to get the points I don't have," he said.

But.

"Kanzaki, how could you do this?"

The students then realized what was happening.

Kanzaki is going to use her own savings. And she's going to use cash from outside sources to fill it up!

Shibata was also surprised.

Because he witnessed a shady deal between the teacher of First-year Class D and the Acting Chairman while on the Uninhabited Island, he almost lost his composure. He was even scared by his junior, Yagami. It wasn't until Kanzaki appeared that he found peace.

However, he also learned that Kanzaki's identity was extraordinary; he was a rich young master.

Unlike him.

But he wanted to protect Kanzaki's identity, and now... Kanzaki himself started to self-destruct?

"I don't think it's right for Kanzaki to pay for it herself." Ichinose also refused.

Because Kanzaki is going to use his own savings.

Several million is not a small amount.

Even if this amount of money is only a small sum for Kanzaki, it is not a responsibility he should bear.

And.

Hachiman refused her request for a loan, and she knew that Hachiman felt that her class's relentless pursuit of any classmate was a bottomless pit.

So.

If Kanzaki were to fall into this bottomless pit now, she could avoid it this time, but what about next time?

Does he need to come up with more money?

And this is something that cannot and should not be done.

"I'm just lending it to everyone for now," Kanzaki said. "You can return it to me when you've earned your points, or even when you graduate."

After graduation?

If I can continue working after graduation, then it seems like the pressure has suddenly decreased.

"Then," Kanzaki looked at Hoshinomiya-sensei before Ichinose could continue his rebuttal. "Sensei, will the school allow what I did?"

"..." Chie Hoshinomiya.

Chie Hoshinomiya became a teacher at Advanced Nurturing High School mainly because of Chabashira.

She was extremely unhappy because Chabashira had betrayed her, and she also resented Chabashira for ruining her future development path.

So when she saw that Chabashira had returned to teach here, she also came back.

Because of this mindset, she never really took her job as a homeroom teacher seriously.

But.

Seeing these children behave like this today has actually inspired her.

So if Kanzaki can't come up with that many points, she can sponsor her with one or two million, as long as the children pay her back after they graduate.

After all.

Chabashira must have done something against the rules, otherwise why would he need to send a picture of a maid outfit to Hachiman?

So, it's not a problem for her to break the rules a little for the sake of the well-behaved children in her class, right?

"Based on the permissions I know, Kanzaki's actions are unprecedented."

"But."

"I told you before, in this school, Meritocracy and points are paramount. Anything you can think of can be bought with points."

"The reason you can't buy it is simply because you haven't paid enough points," said Chie Hoshinomiya.

In other words, you can use points to purchase this foreign investment scheme.

Kanzaki breathed a sigh of relief.

So that's about it.

"Everyone, please choose option one," said Ryuji Kanzaki.

"But Kanzaki— " Ichinose wanted to say something more.

"I'll only bring 13 million points," Kanzaki said. "I won't contribute a single point more."

In other words, he himself knows the bottom line.

"Ichinose." Shibata looked at Ichinose at this moment. "Let's agree with Kanzaki's decision."

"After all, everyone wants the class to become better."

Yes.

Shibata is already prepared for the possibility of being expelled from school.

So now we see Kanzaki making such a sacrifice.

He suddenly felt a little guilty, because it must have been him who told Kanzaki that he wanted to drop out of school, which led to Kanzaki's overreaction.

But he didn't actually want Kanzaki to pay these prices.

But since Kanzaki did that, all he could do was make sure Kanzaki's efforts weren't in vain.

And.

I won't make Kanzaki pay for it afterward.

Because if there are any programs that require students to drop out, then he will take on the responsibility.

Therefore, Ichinose will not spend the points she has, so she will not be in debt. At the same time, she can pay Hachiman for the next six months' worth of points, and the remaining points can be divided equally among everyone to maintain their living expenses.

So.

Everything will be alright.

In this way.

After getting stuck on the third question for 40 minutes, Class Ichinose finally made it to the fourth question.

The fourth question was related to the written test, and it mentioned increased difficulty, reduced rewards, and increased penalties—all seemingly negative aspects.

So, the first round of negotiations went to a point of contention due to differing results, and ultimately everyone opted for a reduction in compensation.

Then, we finally arrived at the fifth question.

Problem 5 - Allowing a classmate to drop out of school will earn you 200 points in class evaluation.

Options: For/Oppose

Note: 1. If everyone agrees, the student who wants to withdraw from school must be designated and a vote must be taken.
