"Horikita, you want to buy scores with private points?" Chabashira Sae raised her eyebrows, her originally contemptuous gaze now holding a hint of expectation.
"You said at the start of school that points can buy everything in this school, so they must be able to buy exam scores too, right?"
Horikita Suzune's eyes were firm.
As her words fell, the Class D students seed to have been hit by a hamr, unable to react for a mont.
Points can buy everything...
Is that how that sentence is understood?
"Really?"
Soone in the class unconsciously blurted out their confusion.
"If this works, then it doesn't matter even if we score 0?"
"No... The crucial point is that if this succeeds, no one will be expelled."
"What does their expulsion have to do with us? We're not close to them."
"Speaking of which, our class points turned to 0 last month because of these guys, right?"
Applying makeup in class, chatting, playing on phones, skipping class, being late, leaving early...
The people with the most disciplinary violations last month were precisely those who failed the exams.
Especially the idiot trio of Sudo, Ike, and Yamauchi. Sitting in the back row, their chatter could be heard even by those in the front of the classroom. Even if they've reined it in a bit this month, there's still the phenonon of loud talking during class.
If they could use this opportunity to eliminate these deadweights, everyone would be overjoyed.
"Sensei, what's your answer?"
Seeing that Chabashira Sae hadn't responded, Horikita Suzune's brows furrowed slightly, and her heart grew anxious.
She was rely acting on Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's conjecture. To be honest, she wasn't entirely confident about the claim that "points can buy everything."
There was too much false advertising these days. Especially at the Advanced Nurturing High School where they currently resided.
It was advertised that graduating would grant access to the best welfare, but after entering, they learned that only students graduating from Class A had the freedom to choose their profession.
Although the teacher had said on the first day of school that points could buy everything within the school, who could guarantee there wasn't so exaggeration?
"Horikita, it seems you're not even confident in your own statent."
Sensing her wavering, Chabashira Sae put one hand on her hip, a playful smile appearing on her face, then said, "But don't worry, your guess is correct. Private points can indeed buy midterm exam scores."
At these words, Class D, which was already sowhat restless, imdiately beca agitated.
"You can actually buy scores?"
"Then what was all my hard studying this month for? This isn't fair!"
"Everyone quiet down!"
Chabashira Sae loudly reprimanded the restless students below, her brows tightly furrowed.
She was truly fed up with these guys. Even now, they were still concerned about fairness. They couldn't even grasp the obvious key points.
"Hoo..."
Horikita Suzune let out a soft sigh, then gazed at the teacher on the podium. "Chabashira-sensei, since my conjecture is correct, can you tell us the price of the points?"
"Well..."
Chabashira Sae paused, then continued, "This is my first ti selling scores to students. Let's set the price at 100,000 private points for 1 point."
"1 point for 100,000 private points?"
"That's too expensive!"
"By the way, how many points did they actually miss?!"
Understanding the students' confusion, Chabashira Sae considerately wrote the passing scores for each subject on the blackboard, then also listed the failing students and the points they lacked for each subject, creating a table.
"Sato, Hondo, Shinohara, and Inogashira mainly failed history, missing 10 points."
"Sudō, Ike, and Yamauchi failed every subject. Sudō was even 10 points below the passing score in English. Just the three of them missed 85 points."
"The total is 95 points. As long as you pay 9.5 million private points before school ends this afternoon, no one will be expelled."
Only 9.5 million?
The students didn't expect such cold words to co from Sae's mouth.
They only received private points in the first month, and the entire class only received 4 million private points. Even if they hadn't spent a single point since the start of school, it wouldn't be enough to pay the private points needed to prevent their classmates from being expelled.
"There's such a huge difference..."
Looking at the scores that needed to be added on the blackboard, Horikita Suzune's brows trembled slightly, sowhat disbelieving.
She had originally thought that as long as she could use private points to buy scores, she could smoothly resolve this crisis. She hadn't anticipated that the price would be so high.
Why doesn't the school just rob us?
Hirata Yosuke, the most popular boy in the class, stood up. "Sensei, aren't the private points required to buy scores a bit too much? This is simply not a sum we can afford."
"Too much?"
Hearing his question, Chabashira Sae seed to have heard a funny joke. "You are studying at the nation's top high school, enjoying the nation's best education. Not only is tuition free, but even dormitory fees, utilities, and water bills are waived. And if you perform well, you even receive tens of thousands or even over a hundred thousand in pocket money from the school every month."
"If it only cost 9.5 million Yen to study at this school, who knows how many parents across the country would sell everything they own to send their children here."
"Not to ntion, these 9.5 million are for saving 7 students. Divided among each student, it's an average of less than 1.36 million per person. You're getting a huge bargain, you know."
After Chabashira Sae said this, the students who had originally thought the price was too expensive fell silent.
Expensive?
Where was it expensive?
Instead of questioning the school's price, they should reflect on whether they had studied well during this period.
After mocking the students in the class, Chabashira Sae's gaze fell on Horikita Suzune.
Horikita Suzune was slightly bowing her head, seemingly a bit disheartened and dejected. It seed that even she thought the class couldn't save the students who were about to be expelled using private points.
'Is this the end?'
Chabashira Sae's eyes held a hint of disappointnt as she looked at Suzune.
As a teacher, she naturally knew more information than the students. The private points required to buy scores were not necessarily 100,000 private points for 1 point.
100,000 private points was just the standard price requested by the school. The minimum could actually be 10,000 private points for 1 point.
This was only valid for this midterm exam but it was enough. If Horikita Suzune and the others continued to fight for it, there would be hope of saving the students from expulsion. Even if not all could be saved, at least so should be.
Due to school regulations, Chabashira Sae could not proactively tell the students that the price could be lowered. She could only wait for the students to act on their own.
