How to Score 277 Points! Paying Back 4,000 Words!

Ryuen connected all the pieces and thought of something terrifying—something he hated most, yet had overlooked at the same time.

That was—

Even if his class really did rise up—

Would the school allow it?

If the rules never allowed it from the beginning... then it would be fraud!

And adults... were often that filthy. So he asked.

"No," Hachiman said. "The school only puts out thirty or forty students as its graduates each year, while students from the other classes are arranged to graduate from different schools. That shows how much the school cares about its reputation and evaluations."

"Do you think the school would put students from our Class C out there?" Hachiman said.

"..." Ryuen.

"..." Ryuen.

All right.

Then there was nothing more to say.

Ryuen nodded.

"Then we'll choose the points," he said.

What he wanted was merely the thrill—the thrill of taking Class C to Class A. But... it seemed they would not be able to graduate from Class A together with everyone else.

Then all they could do was save up as much money as possible.

Then, fulfill Sakagami-sensei's expectations while also completing a difficult yet challenging feat. Rising to Class A once would be more than enough for the class to brag about after graduation.

As for the original plan of getting the entire class into Class A by saving eight hundred million, that was probably impossible.

Even if he had ambitions, Ryuen understood reality.

Otherwise, he would not have been tricked out of so much money by Hachiman Hikigaya so many times.

And that was how this came about.

Hashimoto was invited out by Ryuen, only to find Hachiman still there. Then Hachiman alarmed him with dire warnings, and Hashimoto panicked, quickly informing the class of Class D's plan to win.
