Kamuro Is a Poor Student!

In fact, Hachiman did not think that Kushida's actions were excellent.

Because.

She didn't understand the importance of bargaining. From the beginning, she handed the choice over to the other party, letting them state their desired price, instead of her stating her own.

In this way, even if she were a complete novice, this senior student would know that she didn't actually know the real price of the exam paper, let alone how to price it.

That's why they use phrases like "the whole class has 400,000 points, but I only need 40,000."

The right way to bargain is to capitalize on the scarcity of the product.

The senior student is just one of the upperclassmen, so you can look for other upperclassmen.

Then the other party continued to lower the price, and it could be bought for 30,000, no, 20,000.

Only.

"Then."

Hachiman revealed his purpose. "How about you give Kushida a little more acceptance?"

"..." Horikita. "You mean... I want to be friends with her?"

"There are things you can learn from her," Hachiman said. "For example, she's doing things that benefit the class right now."

So, if you keep rejecting her, then Kushida might just explode.

Hachiman wants to defuse the bomb.

Chapter 80 Kamuro is a terrible student!

Humans are not absolutely good beings.

Even when helping others, though there is no reward, one's inner self is elevated.

Of course, Hachiman does not deny the existence of such angels.

However, he knew very well that Kushida was definitely not a real angel.

However, for Kushida, if she keeps fawning over Horikita but doesn't get any feedback, she might explode.

Rather, it's more accurate to say...

Since it's a bomb, it will definitely explode.

However, in that case, perhaps deliberately setting Kushida on fire during a Special Exam might produce a surprising effect.

Hachiman thought to himself.

After all, the overall quality of the class isn't high enough to compete with other classes. So, we have to focus on other areas.

Meanwhile, Kushida had already received the test paper that her senior had sent her.

It wasn't the actual exam paper, but rather a photo of the exam paper sent by my senior.

Normally, she would have to go back to her dorm to find her old exam papers.

But no.

Instead, she sent the picture directly to Kushida.

In other words, the senior student really wanted to sell the exam papers and get the money.

"The senior student brought over the midterm exam papers from last year, and also included the quiz papers that have already been taken," Kushida said. "And Horikita, come and take a look at these quiz papers."

"..." Suzune Horikita.

"It's exactly the same as the one we took in our quiz," Suzune Horikita said.

"Right?"

"It seems the upperclassmen passed the exam using this method," Kushida said. "With this exam paper, everyone will definitely pass."

Hachiman also glanced at the exam paper.

The quiz questions sent by my senior were exactly the same as the quiz questions from last month.

Not to mention the numbers, even the punctuation marks haven't been changed.

Therefore, it's highly likely that the exam questions will remain unchanged this time.

In this way, the 35,000 points were well spent.

There are five subjects in this midterm exam: physics, chemistry, biology, English, and math.

The test paper I got from the senior student had some parts filled in, but many more were wrong or even blank.

However, since the other person is still at school, it proves that they are capable of passing.

"So that's how it is."

Suzune Horikita also realized what was going on. "The school actually allows cheating to exist."

It must have been very difficult for a top student like her.

Because the efforts made have not been tested, everyone is resorting to opportunism.

Only.

Suzune Horikita noticed that Hachiman was looking at her.

Hachiman was looking at her.

This means you want her to take action, right?

"..." Horikita.

Horikita pursed her lips and looked at Kushida.

"Thanks to you Kushida, for this exam," Horikita said.

"Eh..." Kushida was suddenly taken aback by Horikita's serious attitude. "Horikita, you mean..."

"I've seen everything you've done," Suzune Horikita said. "It's just that I've always been alone since I was little, so I don't like having other people around me."

"But."

Horikita seemed to be making a very difficult decision.

Then he said.

"Can we be friends?" Horikita extended her hand to Kushida.

"Hey!"

Kushida was surprised again in just 18 seconds.

Because.

Every day, she would wait for Suzune Horikita at her doorstep before she went to school, and even greet her proactively, but she was always ignored.

So now, has the sun risen in the west?

Horikita actually wanted to become friends with her.

"I don't want to admit that I'm trash. I want to climb up, so my goal is to get promoted to Class A. And Kushida, can you help me?" Suzune Horikita said.

"Mmm-hmm." Kushida nodded quickly. "I also want to be promoted to Class A."

"But..." Kushida seemed to feel relieved. "So, what is our relationship now..."

"Something like companions," Hachiman said.

"..." Kushida, "Yes, that's true, Hachiman."

Kushida nodded, seemingly pleased.

But it's no use, Kushida. When he spoke to you just now, you seemed to completely ignore him.

I feel like he's in the way here.

In other words, in Kushida's mind, Horikita's high ranking must be resolved.

Hachiman then said.

"Then the next thing to do is to find someone to fill in the correct answers to the test."

"Then distribute them to the students in the class."

"Use it as study material or something."

"And this kind of thing..."

Hachiman looked at Kushida and Horikita. "Can I entrust this to you?"

"Or perhaps we should ask Yukimura for help again. His name is also among the top in the teacher's grades," Hachiman said.

The Yukimura mentioned here refers to Teruhiko Yukimura.

He wore glasses, wasn't very tall, was rather thin, and had a somewhat nerdy air about him.

But she's a top student.

His Academic Ability ranks only behind Horikita's.

"Ah... um... I think Horikita and I are fine," Kushida said.

She had just glanced at the test paper. Although some of the content was different from what she was currently learning, she thought she could still get 80 points if she were taking the test.

Suzune Horikita is quite Academic Ability gifted, so she should be able to score over 90 points.

Although she didn't know why Suzune Horikita suddenly wanted to be her partner, it was definitely the right thing to do to seize the opportunity to build a good impression.

Instead of... being ignored or treated like air every time she meets Horikita, only being Kushida when she needs to use her.

"Actually, if none of you can do it, then we can arrange for Kōenji," Hachiman said. "I'll try to persuade him."

Kōenji was the top student in the class in terms of Academic Ability.

He also has the best motor skills.

He was a remarkable person in the class.

But.

"Oh, Hachiman," Kushida said jokingly.

In other words, Kushida actually dislikes Kōenji quite a bit.

Meanwhile, we deepened our analysis of Kushida.

Hachiman took out his phone as if to check something, but actually he turned on the recording. Then, when he put the phone back, he was reviewing the recording.

In the video, you can see a girl with long purple hair and three hair clips staring at a corner of the cafeteria.

And that's Masumi Kamuro 'Sakayanagi next to Sakayanagi.

In other words, Kushida's buying and selling of exam papers may have been discovered by the other party.

The students in Class A are truly everywhere.

Hachiman didn't bother with Kamuro, but instead invited Kushida and Horikita to go to the Shopping Street together.

Because they received photos from their senior classmates, they needed to print them out to fill in answers and so on.

Meanwhile, as students in Class C, they have limited points, so none of the three of them have bought a laptop yet.

Then there would be no copier or printer either.

So we need to deal with it.

This process took 30 minutes. Hachiman sat at the entrance of the print shop, looking at a printed exam paper as if he were studying it carefully, but he was actually observing it secretly.

Yes.

He is now observing from the shadows.

This can be considered multitasking.

He noticed that Kamuro, who was in the cafeteria, had followed him out and was now sitting in a coffee shop not far from the print shop.
