Hearing what Chabashira Sae said, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka noticed sothing unusual about her.
It seed she hoped the students could gather enough points to save everyone quickly. Otherwise, there would be no need to urge him to get straight to the point.
'Is there soone she cares about among those who might be expelled?'
He thought for a mont, and the image of the red-haired boy quickly appeared in his mind.
Although Sudō Ken had the most failing grades and a volatile temper, his athletic performance was outstanding. If there was anyone among the potential expellees that Chabashira Sae cared about, it was most likely Sudō Ken, who had the greatest athletic ability.
Having a rough idea of her thoughts, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka stopped with the pleasantries. "Please sell us the points at the lowest possible price."
As soon as he finished speaking, a distinct glint could be seen in the eyes of the teacher standing opposite him. It seed his words had struck a chord with Chabashira Sae.
"Why do you think the price for purchasing scores can be even lower?" Chabashira Sae asked, raising her eyebrows.
It was impressive that he guessed there was room for negotiation. However, he still needed to provide a plausible reason.
"Sensei didn't hesitate when agreeing to sell us scores, but she did take so ti on the price issue. Plus, you once said in the classroom that this was your first ti selling points to students."
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka calmly stated his analysis, "This indicates that past students have perford this operation, perhaps even many tis. Even without experience, you know how to do it, so you can agree to sell scores without consulting the school or others."
"However, the ti you spent thinking about the specific price shows that the price isn't necessarily fixed and there's room for negotiation."
Actually, even if Chabashira Sae hadn't hesitated, there would still be room for negotiation. In such situations, one should always strive for the best outco, regardless of success.
"Ayanokoji, well said."
The smile on Chabashira Sae's face softened. "For this midterm exam, 1 point can be bought for a minimum of 10,000 Private Points. This ans you only need 950,000 Private Points to save all the students."
950,000 Private Points sounded like a huge number. But compared to the previous 9.5 million, it was already a small fry.
'The school is truly black-hearted.'
Hearing the number reported by Chabashira Sae, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka silently complained in his heart.
The lowest price was actually one-tenth of the original price. Even capitalists would shed tears.
Did she really not take a kickback?
Ayanokoji calculated the current Private Points available to the class in his mind.
So far, Class D only received 100,000 Private Points per person at the beginning of the sester. With 40 students in the class, the total was 4 million Private Points.
However, after two months, assuming each person spent 40,000 Private Points per month, Class D had already spent 3.2 million Private Points, leaving only 800,000 Private Points available.
His calculation thod was actually too optimistic. According to Kushida Kikyo, most people in Class D spent points lavishly, and many spent all 100,000 points in the first month. Perhaps, the remaining Private Points in the class were less than 400,000. There was still a significant gap from the 950,000 points Chabashira Sae currently demanded. He had to bargain even further.
"Chabashira-sensei, during swimming class, the swimming instructor gave Private Points to the winners of the class competition."
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka brought up what had happened last month.
"I think the school was hinting that teachers can also give students Private Points, right?"
Chabashira Sae pursed her lips, and her gaze towards him held a hint of admiration. "A horoom teacher can support their class with a maximum of 300,000 Private Points. Seeing as it was my fault that so many students failed history, I'll give you these 300,000 Private Points."
Chabashira Sae's expression as she spoke seed a little smug.
If Sato Maya, Hondo Ryotaro, and other victims who failed history heard this, they would surely get angry and start cursing.
But Ayanokoji Kiyotaka noticed her hint.
He continued to ask, "Chabashira-sensei, how many points does it cost to lower the passing grade for history by 1 point?"
Hearing this, Chabashira Sae's face lit up, and she said with a smile, "The minimum is 20,000 points."
"Then, let's use the Private Points originally intended to save Sato and the others to lower the passing grade for history."
Saving Sato and the other history failures would require 100,000 Private Points, but lowering the history passing grade for everyone to pass would require 60,000 Private Points. This saved 40,000 points.
In addition, the idiot trio followed the sa procedure to lower the passing grade, saving another 160,000 points.
After all these maneuvers, the rescue fund, which originally required 9.5 million Private Points, beca only 450,000 Private Points.
Less than one-twentieth of the original amount.
To cut the price down so low, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka was sowhat impressed with himself.
'The class should be able to co up with these points, and even if not, Kushida can borrow from students in other classes. That's enough.'
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka turned around and saw Horikita Suzune secretly observing from behind.
He had long noticed Horikita Suzune following him, but he hadn't exposed her.
Horikita Suzune's expression was complex, and she said with so disbelief, "Ayanokoji, I didn't realize you were so talented at bargaining..Even if you don't graduate from Class A, you could still beco an excellent procurent officer in the future."
Cutting a price from 9.5 million to just 450,000 was indeed terrifying ability.
"It was just a coincidence." Ayanokoji Kiyotaka unhesitatingly attributed everything to luck.
"If the school's minimum price wasn't 10,000, no matter how hard I tried, I wouldn't have been able to push the price down."
Horikita Suzune exhaled softly, as if sowhat unwilling. "That may be true, but the important thing is that others can't achieve what you did. Even I couldn't."
When it cos to bargaining, I, Horikita Suzune, declare you the strongest!
"I already said it was just a coincidence."
Horikita Suzune ignored his perfunctory reply and brought up another topic. "I still have 50,000 Private Points left. How about you?"
"I also have about 50,000 left."
Horikita Suzune frowned. "So, we still need to collect another 350,000 Private Points from the class?"
She didn't particularly like having to ask others for help. If only Ayanokoji could have cut the price down to just 50,000. Then she could have paid for everything herself.
"Wait, Horikita, leaving your approach aside for a mont, why do I also have to hand over all my Private Points?" Ayanokoji Kiyotaka was stunned.
This woman is so overbearing!
