Has Horikita run out of things to say?
Noticing that the black-haired girl beside him hadn't spoken for a long ti, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka closed his eyes with a hint of disappointnt.
She doesn't even know how to bargain. No, strictly speaking, she didn't even consider bargaining.
Judging by the information currently available, the school does not want so many students to drop out of the class. Otherwise, there would have been no need to first use pop quizzes to warn the students, and then use past exam papers to provide a shortcut for low-performing students to score highly.
Although the questions in this midterm exam were different from the past, there were correspondingly many easy-scoring questions.
Not to ntion, the school also provided a way to purchase scores using Private Points.
All signs indicate that the school authorities do not want to be too absolute in these matters, ultimately leaving so opportunities for the struggling students.
There were many opportunities Ayanokoji Kiyotaka could think of alone.
Spending points to buy scores, buying chances for retakes, transferring scores from high-achieving students to low-achieving ones... there were simply too many thods.
Now that the class had chosen the route of spending points to buy scores, upon learning that the price was too high, the next step should be to bargain with the teacher.
In Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's impression, Chabashira Sae often used companies and society as examples when explaining the school rules. In other words, in this school, one must abandon the student mindset of "the teacher is supre" and view problems from the perspective of a mber of society.
Teachers and school authorities should not be treated as absolute authority, but rather as entities open to negotiation.
Based on what Chabashira Sae just said, she was clearly indicating that there was room for price adjustnt.
Although he didn't know the bottom line, it certainly had to be cheaper than the current rate of 100,000 points for 1 score.
'Horikita has the potential to be a leader, but she hasn't learned flexibility yet.'
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka had long anticipated that Chabashira Sae might ask for an exorbitant price. However, he did not share this thought with Horikita Suzune. This was precisely to observe her performance when facing difficulties.
Based on the current observation results, she still hasn't learned to change her way of thinking, and is still trying to solve problems with a straightforward approach.
'I still have to step in.' Ayanokoji Kiyotaka thought silently to himself.
After Horikita Suzune stood up to speak, many people in the class kept their attention on her. If he were to prompt her right now, it would easily be noticed by others.
It would be better to go to the faculty office later and et Chabashira Sae alone. If soone saw him then, he could just say Horikita instructed him to go.
A perfect plan.
"This morning's horoom eting ends here. I look forward to you gathering 9.5 million Private Points for before school ends. However, that's impossible, isn't it?"
Chabashira Sae dropped this line, then walked out of the classroom.
After she left, the classroom instantly erupted into chaos.
"I... I don't want to drop out..."
"Damn it! If it weren't for that wretched hag Chabashira, how could I have failed history!"
"Speaking of which, those past exam papers weren't accurate at all! They made waste so much ti morizing questions!"
The failing students complained loudly, searching for excuses for their failure.
If Chabashira Sae hadn't marked the wrong key points, if the past papers hadn't been completely irrelevant to the current questions, how could they possibly have failed?
"Kushida-san, didn't you say the midterm exam questions were similar every year? Why are they different this year?!"
Chabashira Sae, who marked the wrong key points, had already left. Their target for bla could only be Kushida Kikyo, who provided the past exam questions to the class.
Three days before the midterm exam, Kushida Kikyo brought the past exam questions and said the previous few batches had similar tests.
The class chose to believe her, but when they saw the exam paper, it nearly scared the life out of them.
"I-I'm sorry... I heard it from the upperclassn, I didn't know the questions would be changed this year."
A faint mist rose in Kushida Kikyo's eyes. Tears welled up, and her face, which usually wore a bright smile, turned aggrieved and sad, making her look especially pitiful.
"Sorry? Is sorry useful?!"
The failing students who were about to be expelled were already furious and paid no attention to her.
Yukimura Teruhiko couldn't stand it anymore. "Hey, why don't you stop putting the bla on Kushida-san? I saw the passing score for this exam, and it was around 20 points for everything. As high school students, being unable to score even that much is entirely your problem, isn't it?"
Yukimura Teruhiko's academic performance was quite excellent, considered top-tier in the grade, but his speaking style was too blunt, easily causing others distress.
"You failed to study diligently yourselves, yet you throw all the responsibility for failing onto Kushida-san. Not only are you stupid, but your moral character as human beings is also lacking. You're practically trash."
"You bastard, are you looking for a fight?!"
Sudō Ken, the most volatile boy in the class, imdiately rushed over, grabbing Yukimura Teruhiko by the collar with a ferocious expression and lifting him up.
Crap!
I actually forgot about this!
Seeing the ferocious Sudō Ken, Yukimura Teruhiko felt nothing but regret.
With his small physique, he couldn't withstand even one punch from him.
[Fight, fight, fight!]
[I've been fed up with this class for a long ti!]
[Sudō, out!]
Class 1-A.
Takada Hikaru was sitting in his seat, watching the animated broadcast content through the system.
To be honest, the fact that so many people failed in D Class was beyond his expectations.
He had reported to the Student Council that Class D students had obtained the original exam questions in advance, intending only to eliminate the idiot trio. Unexpectedly, even others suffered.
Fortunately, these people failed because Chabashira Sae marked the wrong key points for the history subject, which had nothing to do with him.
'Chabashira Sae, you truly are the biggest problem child in D Class.'
Expelling four students from the class so easily—who else could do that?
Soone unaware might think Chabashira Sae held a grudge against D Class.
Just then, Takada Hikaru noticed that Ayanokoji Kiyotaka in the animation left the classroom while the class was in chaos.
Horikita Suzune, who was sitting next to Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, also left after noticing.
Hikaru originally thought Ayanokoji Kiyotaka was heading to the faculty office. But in the next shot, he was seen arriving on the rooftop.
Wait, didn't you just say in your mind that you were going to the faculty office to find the teacher? How did you end up on the rooftop in the blink of an eye?
Takada Hikaru noticed that Ayanokoji Kiyotaka was holding a Terminal, and imdiately understood that Chabashira Sae must have used the phone to arrange a eting on the rooftop temporarily.
On the rooftop.
Chabashira Sae held a cigarette in her mouth, white smoke slowly rising, the tip of the cigarette glowing with a golden-red light.
"Ayanokoji, you ca to find , so you must have figured out a solution, right?" Chabashira Sae exhaled, blowing out white smoke.
"Didn't sensei call here?" Ayanokoji Kiyotaka asked with a calm expression.
Chabashira Sae frowned. "You don't have much ti left. Are you sure you want to engage in unnecessary probing here?"
If Class D still couldn't gather enough points to buy scores before school ended, all the failing students would be expelled.
Ayanokoji having the nerve to play dumb in front of her showed remarkable composure.
