Let's rewind a few minutes.
Just as the lunch break bell rang, Takada Hikaru noticed comnts appearing before his eyes.
Realizing that he was currently experiencing a plot, he quickly opened the animation and found that the content being played was what was happening in Class A.
[Finally, it's about other classes.]
[I think I saw Money-Giving Guy, this must be Class A.]
[The girl on stage actually has pink hair, ah, I'm dead!]
[Pink hair is the best!]
Seeing the audience's comnts, Takada Hikaru let out a breath.
'The thod of actively creating an appearance on screen is indeed feasible.' Takada Hikaru thought to himself.
As early as the end of the first episode of the ani, after the scene of him and Hoshinomiya Chie making a deal in the teacher's office was broadcast as an animation, he had the idea of increasing his appearances by causing trouble.
During this midterm exam, he reported to the Student Council that Class D students had obtained the original questions, causing a large number of students to fail.
Class D, being poor, naturally couldn't co up with points to save people, so they could only borrow from other classes.
Considering that Class A had the most points, and Ichinose Honami, as their leader, was recognized as the kindest person in the entire grade, the possibility of Class D borrowing points from Class A was the highest.
At the sa ti, Class A was also most likely to get screen ti in front of the audience by lending points.
Things turned out exactly as Takada Hikaru expected. Ichinose Honami, as the leader of Class A, imdiately felt sympathy after hearing about Class D's situation and actively helped Class D persuade her classmates. Thus, the current scene ca to be.
'For the audience, this is the first ti they've seen Class A's story. Similarly, it's the first ti they've seen my situation in Class A.'
Takada Hikaru's initial persona for himself was that of a lone wolf in the class. But this lone wolf was different from the true lone wolves like Kōenji and Yukimura in Class D.
In daily interactions, he was very friendly and got along harmoniously with everyone in the class. However, at critical plot points, he held completely different opinions from everyone else in the class.
Just like this ti, most of the class agreed to lend points to Class D. But he was the opposite, not wanting to lend any points to Class D, which was a complete contrast to his usual friendly image. This was part of his persona building.
"I do not approve of using class funds to help Class D. I should have said that this school will hold many exams that will lead to student expulsions, and canceling expulsion penalties basically requires 20 million personal points."
"Everyone chose to entrust their points to Honami so that they would have enough points to resolve the crisis when facing an expulsion crisis."
"Before even using them for ourselves, you want to give the points to Class D, our competitor. Are you all too kind?" Takada Hikaru asked the class.
anwhile, the comnts were confused by what he had just said.
[Woke up too fast, Money-Giving Guy isn't giving money anymore.]
[Money-Giving Guy is a troublemaker, maybe he wants to see Class D students get expelled.]
[Did everyone forget? Money-Giving Guy was the one who made Class D's class points zero. This ti, Class D's unusual seven failures might also be Money-Giving Guy's doing.]
[That's probably it. I rember Money-Giving Guy reminded Horikita and the others that there was an easy way to get high scores, and then Class D thought of using old test papers.]
[When Class D thought they were safe, Money-Giving Guy contacted the school to change the test papers, which is why seven people in Class D failed.]
[But didn't so many people in Class D get expelled because the horoom teacher marked the wrong key points?]
[Ah, this...]
"Takada-san, we're not just being kind, you know."
Ichinose Honami looked over, and she said in a soft, sweet voice, "Didn't I just say? If we use this opportunity to establish a cooperative relationship with Class D, the upcoming special exam should be easier, and it will also benefit us."
Poor child. She still doesn't know how unreliable Class D is. Cooperating with the current Class D, it would be good enough not to be exploited by them, let alone expecting benefits.
"Oh?"
Takada Hikaru deliberately raised his tone, then asked with a light laugh, "With Class D, who made their class points zero in the first month?"
"Uh..."
"With Class D, who will have seven expulsions by the midterm exam?"
"This..."
Ichinose Honami broke into a sweat, and her originally bright smile beca a bit forced. "A-Although Class D's recent performance has indeed been very poor, they might beco a huge help during the special exam, right?"
Takada Hikaru rested his cheek on his fist and said with a faint smile, "If you have to find helpers, why not find stronger classes? If it were , I would look for Class B to cooperate with."
"Eh?" Honami's eyes widened, clearly not realizing that there was even an option to cooperate with Class B.
Kanzaki Ryūji, sitting in the classroom, also looked a bit confused after hearing the statent. "Takada-san, Class B is our biggest competitor. It's very difficult to establish a cooperative relationship with them."
Takada Hikaru shook his head. "No one says you can't cooperate with your biggest competitor. As long as there's a common enemy, even Class B will stand with us."
"Common enemy?" Kanzaki Ryūji frowned, then widened his eyes. "Are you talking about Class C and Class D?"
"That's right."
Takada Hikaru nodded slightly. "Class D can't even protect themselves right now, cooperating with them will only drag us down."
"As for Class B, they are originally the class most favored by the school, and they are closely trailing us in terms of class points. If we're looking for cooperation, cooperating with Class B is definitely the best option."
After speaking, Takada Hikaru paused, then smiled and said, "My apologies, I got off-topic just now. Let's continue discussing lending points to Class D."
"I believe kindness, gentleness, and compassion are all beautiful qualities, and I am very happy to see these qualities in my classmates."
"However, before helping others, one must also know how to protect oneself. The class funds entrusted to Honami are not for charity to other classes, but for protecting every student in our class. These are points to protect our companions, not to protect strangers."
"I cannot stop classmates from using their remaining points to help the failing students of Class D, but I truly hope the class funds are used for more aningful things. This is my personal opinion. You may all begin voting."
After saying these words, Takada Hikaru stopped speaking, picked up his terminal, and cast his vote in the class group chat.
The final result was as expected. After hearing his words, most of the class did not want to use class funds to help Class D. If they wanted to save people, they should sacrifice their own interests and use their own living expenses to do so.
