Chabashira Sae began her lecture, but the students below the podium couldn't process a single word at this mont.
The S-System, Class Points, expulsion...
This information was far too much for them to digest in such a short ti. On the first day of school, they had thought they had arrived in heaven. Now, the students realized that this place was essentially hell.
However, at the very least, during this class, no one whispered or played on their phones anymore—
Except for Katsuragi Keima.
Once the bell rang, Chabashira Sae quickly packed her things and walked out of the classroom. She hadn't gone far before she heard a set of footsteps behind her.
"Please wait a mont, Chabashira-sensei."
Chabashira Sae turned around. The person standing behind her was none other than Katsuragi Keima. However, even as he spoke to her, his gaze remained fixed on the handheld console in his hands.
"Katsuragi, is there sothing you need?"
"You said before that points can buy anything in this school, right?"
"Indeed. As long as it doesn't violate the law or school regulations, it can be bought."
"Then I want to buy the right to play gas in all future classes," Keima stated.
"Oh?"
Chabashira Sae's brow twitched slightly, as if she wasn't certain she had heard him correctly. Keima continued:
"I asked Mashima-sensei last period. He can only give the right to play in English class and cannot interfere with other subjects. Plus, twenty thousand points a month is a bit of a bad deal. He suggested I find you, Chabashira-sensei. I figured as a horoom teacher, you might have a more preferential price?"
"Are you serious?"
Chabashira Sae scrutinized the boy before her; the lenses of his glasses reflected the ga footage on his screen.
"I am serious. After all, playing gas in class should affect the Class Points, right? I want to 'buy out' that impact. Once I pay the points, playing gas in class becos a legitimate behavior for , and points will no longer be deducted."
"Why are you doing this?"
A flash of confusion crossed Chabashira Sae's eyes. Even though he already knew the school rules, Katsuragi Keima still ca to her for this kind of transaction. Why?
"To play gas during class, obviously. On average, I have to spend four or five hours a day in the classroom; that's pri gaming ti."
Chabashira Sae pursed her lips. Even having led several Class Ds and seen countless students "rotting away," she had never encountered anyone who could say sothing so outrageous with such a straight face as Katsuragi Keima.
While Chabashira was lost in thought, Keima continued:
"If it's just alone, the impact on Class Points probably won't be that huge. It's just that so people in the class will surely be dissatisfied with my behavior. It would be a hassle if they interfered with my gaming, which is why I want to do this."
"I see. To go to such lengths just to play gas... Katsuragi Keima, you're the first I've ever seen."
A smile reappeared on Chabashira Sae's face. "Fine, this can indeed be bought. Eighty thousand a month. In all classes, you can play gas without points being deducted."
"That's a bad deal."
Keima rejected Chabashira Sae's proposal without hesitation.
"What?"
"High school lasts three years, with an average of eight months of classes per year. That's twenty-four months in total, accumulating to 1.92 million points. That's not a small number. And given the current situation, it's impossible for to co up with that many points in the first few months. So, I have another idea."
"Oh?"
"Naturally, I intend to haggle a bit."
"What qualifications do you have to haggle with ?"
"My academic ability—let save first."
After saving his ga, Keima put the handheld away. He pushed up his glasses and looked directly at Chabashira Sae.
"I have excellent academic ability. You said that exam results also affect Class Points. My grades will undoubtedly have a positive effect on the class. Since individual points are tied to Class Points, the revenue I can bring to the class should be quite substantial."
"You certainly talk big, Katsuragi Keima. Perhaps your grades are good, but in this school, what's required is more than just grades. Furthermore, at the end of the day, you're all just Class D students. Even if your individual grades are good, what can that change? Unlike Class A, Class D is a collection of the most 'trash' students."
Chabashira Sae's inquiry seed to carry a hint of mockery.
"First of all, no matter what the exam is, it's essentially no different from a ga—you just find the correct answer. Additionally—"
Keima's sharp gaze pierced through his glass lenses. This was one of the few monts Chabashira Sae saw Keima's face head-on, as he usually had his head down gaming.
"If our Class D consists of the most 'trash' students, then wouldn't that make you the 'worst' teacher, Chabashira-sensei?"
"You really have a nerve, don't you?!"
"Class D students indeed lack discipline and initiative, but as a teacher, it's your duty to guide students toward the right path. If it weren't, what would be the point of the school's existence? Yet you haven't done that; even your teaching is perfunctory. The reason we were assigned to Class D isn't much different from the reason you are our horoom teacher, is it?"
Keima's words were like a sharp sword, but Chabashira Sae only looked at him with a stern expression. She had never seen anyone dare to speak to her, a teacher, in such a manner.
"Just like the characters in gas—if you ignore them and don't provide care and help, they are very likely to go astray and reach a Bad Ending."
Keima took a step forward, closing the distance to Chabashira Sae.
"Don't you want to go a step further, Chabashira-sensei? For instance... being promoted to Class A?"
As he spoke, Keima watched Chabashira Sae's expression without blinking. In order to play gas in class in the future, Keima decided to take the initiative against her. He wasn't certain of her true thoughts, so he spoke this way deliberately to test her reaction.
Even though Chabashira Sae wasn't one of his capture targets, it seed the thods from gas could still be applied. The more intense the emotional fluctuations, the more a person's true heart is revealed.
Watching the subtle changes in her expression, a smirk appeared on Keima's face.
'I have already seen the ending.'
