Practical teaching, all I want is your reward.

"You're too greedy. These aren't things you can buy right now." Chabashira Saeko revealed a faint smile.

"Then please tell me what information I can buy right now," Horikita Suzune said with a determined look in her eyes.

"It's hard to say. According to school regulations, I can't reveal too much to students, so even if you were to use personal points to buy it, it would be a price you absolutely cannot afford."

Despite Chabashira Sae's deliberate provocation, Horikita Suzune did not back down at all, but instead said, "At least tell me about the increase or decrease in class points."

Chabashira Sae smiled, a rare occurrence, then said expressionlessly, "Two million personal points."

This number was even larger than what Suzuki Tetsu had said, and Horikita Suzune was shocked.

After a long silence, Horikita Suzune awkwardly asked, "What can you buy with 50,000 personal points?"

Chabashira Sae looked at her silently as well. Was this guy only thinking about himself?

If you don't have enough points, why don't you go find someone?

This kind of intelligence obviously couldn't be obtained by one person alone; the whole class had to chip in to cover the costs.

"You can only buy a little bit of so-called common sense."

Horikita Suzune gritted her teeth. She knew nothing about this place, and there was this guy from Class A who inexplicably wanted her to drop out of school.

Therefore, only one option remains.

Chapter Thirty-Five: The Girl Who Discovered an Opportunity

Back in the classroom, Horikita Suzune sat silently in her seat. She still had over 30,000 yen in her account, which should be enough to get by for a while.

However, she felt it wasn't worth it.

Chabashira Sae's so-called common sense is meaningless; she only briefly mentioned that the classes will compete with each other, and the final winner will be Class A.

Yes, the exchange rate between class points and individual points is one to one hundred.

Those who make no contribution to the class or fall behind the class pace will be the first to be eliminated and expelled.

What's the use of these common-sense facts?

Looking at her classmates laughing and playing around, some showing off their newly bought game consoles, and others excitedly discussing their plans after school, Horikita Suzune felt very annoyed.

What she wants is to be promoted to Class A quickly, preferably within this semester, but can these people really make it up?

The school actually put her in Class D; I just don't understand what they were thinking.

At this stage, besides academic ability, what other aspects of a student are we looking for?

Do you expect a high school student to win the national competition?

What a ridiculous school, what a ridiculous class, she is definitely not trash.

We must thoroughly slap these guys in the face, especially Suzuki Tetsu from Class A. He thinks he's so important just because his brother invited him to join the student council, and he's become incredibly arrogant.

Horikita Suzune felt very calm now. Although she had expressed to Suzuki Tetsu that she wanted to lead the class to Class A, the fact that the other party had a million personal points had also stirred her thoughts.

Even Toru Suzuki was able to get a million personal points within a week of the start of the semester, so she should be able to too, right?

If a week isn't enough, a month will do. In just a year or two, she'll have collected 20 million personal points, which will allow her to smoothly transfer to Class A.

But where exactly do you get personal points?

Horikita Suzune fell into deep thought. In this school where merit reigns supreme, a student's quality can be judged by the class they belong to, and personal points are more like another kind of cheat code.

It's as if it's saying, "If you dislike those guys who are holding you back, why don't you work hard on your own?"

However, 20 million personal points...

While Horikita Suzune was struggling with her decision, someone suddenly called her name softly.

"Hey, Horikita-kun, how did your chat with Suzuki-kun go yesterday?"

Just by hearing that voice, there was no doubt that it was indeed Kikyo Kushida.

“It’s nothing, you don’t need to…” Horikita Suzune was initially unwilling to get involved with Kushida Kikyo, but suddenly remembered her goal and quickly changed her tune, “Did Suzuki-kun tell you anything?”

"Eh, Suzuki-kun didn't tell me anything. Did something really happen yesterday?" Kikyo Kushida blinked, seemingly not quite understanding what she meant.

"I was just asking casually." Horikita Suzune's eyes showed a hint of disappointment; she had thought that Kushida Kikyo might know something.

Upon seeing this, Kikyo Kushida felt a slight unease. The scene from yesterday flashed back before her eyes. Should she tell him or not?

"Horikita, you went to the office just now, right?" Kiyotaka Ayanokouji suddenly interjected. "This is the first time I've seen you keep up with Chabashira-sensei. Even though you always seem oblivious to everyone else when get out of class is over, you're always reading."

Horikita Suzune gave him a cold glance; this guy had been getting more and more used to talking to her lately.

"Are you really alright?" Kikyo Kushida's eyes revealed a hint of concern.

Horikita Suzune paused for a moment, then asked, "What are your thoughts on Class D?"

Kikyo Kushida and Kiyotaka Ayanokouji exchanged a glance. So they were really coming?

"Everyone here seems like a very nice person, but why ask this all of a sudden?" Kikyo Kushida's face showed a natural expression of surprise.

“I heard from Suzuki-kun that this school measures students’ levels based on so-called ability, with Class A being the best and Class D being the worst.” Horikita Suzune’s voice was cold. “I just confirmed this with Chabashira-sensei. From the moment we enrolled, the school judged us as a bunch of defective products.”

Kikyo Kushida paused, then couldn't help but exclaim, "Isn't there some mistake in this...?"

Upon hearing her words, Kiyotaka Ayanokouji's expression turned strange. If he hadn't followed Horikita Suzune with her yesterday, he might have believed her story.

"I also hope that the school has made a mistake, but Ms. Chabashira strongly denies that." Horikita Suzune was also somewhat helpless and unwilling at this moment. She couldn't understand this at all. What was it about her that she was inferior to Suzuki Toru?

However, Horikita Suzune quickly composed herself and then told the two what information she knew.

After listening, Kikyo Kushida murmured thoughtfully, "I see. So, we all have to work together to advance to Class A?"

Horikita Suzune remained silent; she hadn't yet decided whether to lead this group of guys to Class A.

"Horikita-kun, you must have a reason why you absolutely must get into Class A, right?" Kikyo Kushida said softly. "As long as we all work together, we will definitely be able to get into Class A. I believe in the students in the class, so please don't worry about that."

Hehe, I won't allow you to sneak off alone. Don't even think about earning any personal points.

The thought flashed through Kikyo Kushida's mind, but she maintained her bright smile on the surface.

Horikita Suzune looked around, and especially when she saw the boys in her class loudly discussing whose breasts were bigger, she frowned deeply.

Are these guys really reliable?

“Currently, all classes have the same points. Even if there are differences next month, I don’t think they will be too significant,” Ayanokouji Kiyotaka said, as if offering a reminder.

Horikita Suzune glanced at him with some surprise, then calmly analyzed, "If there are differences between classes next month, it means that there will definitely be increases or decreases in class points this month. Our competition with other classes has already begun, but we don't know what the school's scoring criteria are."

Yes, once you know these premises, anyone can tell that the so-called class competition started from the very beginning.

If it were an exam, the school would have already prepared questions for each class, but the answer sheets haven't been distributed yet, so we don't know how to answer them.

Horikita Suzune was a little frustrated. She really wanted to buy this information, but she didn't have enough points.

Just then, she suddenly heard Kikyo Kushida say something that surprised and delighted her.

"If Horikita-kun needs any information, I happen to know a student from Class A who seems to be able to provide some information."

Horikita Suzune was taken aback at first, then frowned and said, "You're not talking about Suzuki-kun, are you? Forget about that guy, I don't need his information."

“Ahaha, it’s not Suzuki-kun, it’s another student from Class A.” Kikyo Kushida seemed to be recalling something. “She told me that if I wanted to know anything, I could contact her, but I would have to pay a certain number of points. At the time, I thought she was joking, so I didn’t respond.”

Horikita Suzune initially didn't believe it, but when she thought of Suzuki Tetsu's personal points, she suddenly had an idea: selling information to other students was indeed a good option.

No wonder Suzuki Tetsu had a million dollars; Horikita Suzune felt she had discovered a business opportunity.

Chapter 36: The Girl in Debt

"How many points do I need to pay to know the school's grading criteria?" Horikita Suzune asked bluntly.

"I'll ask for you." Kikyo Kushida blinked, then took out her phone to contact someone.

Horikita Suzune, unsuspecting, silently awaited a reply.

Kiyotaka Ayanokouji, standing to the side, was somewhat speechless. Although he didn't know the specifics, he could guess that Kikyo Kushida was obviously contacting Toru Suzuki.

After all, he was there when Kikyo Kushida received the news yesterday.

Hmm, I didn't see the content.

However, the answer is too easy to guess. It was Kikyo Kushida who helped Tetsu Suzuki arrange to meet Suzune Horikita in the first place. It would be a lie to say that the two had no relationship.

I just don't know what they're doing.

Was this a trap set for Horikita Suzune?

Kiyotaka Ayanokouji had a strange feeling. Even if he wanted to deal with Suzune Horikita, there should at least be a reason, right?

Is it just because of the so-called president?

Kiyotaka Ayanokoji decided to hold back and observe for a while longer to see what Toru Suzuki was up to.

"Alright, Kamuro has replied," Kikyo Kushida said cheerfully. "She said that exams are currently underway, and this involves specific exam rules. The school prohibits the sale of exam rules, so she has no comment."

Horikita Suzune breathed a sigh of relief. Although she also wanted to know the rules, since anyone could buy the rules, the competition was likely to turn into a battle of individual points.

Classes that don't have enough points to buy intelligence don't even deserve to stand on the starting line.

"What do you mean by 'exam'?" Horikita Suzune grasped the key point. "Is the increase or decrease in class points related to exams? What specific form of exam is it?"

Kikyo Kushida looked at her apologetically and said tactfully, "This is paid content."

Horikita Suzune hesitated for a moment, then quickly regained her composure: "How many person points does she want?"

“With 400,000 points, she’ll tell us everything she knows,” Kikyo Kushida answered without hesitation, even though she knew very well that Toru Suzuki was targeting Suzune Horikita.

Compared to two million personal points, this price actually made Horikita Suzune frown. Was it a bit too low?

Only then did she begin to consider whether it was worth the price and how much of it was genuine.

However, on second thought, it's possible that Class A itself didn't know much about the inside story.

“Four hundred thousand points is too much; I can’t possibly come up with that all at once,” Horikita Suzune said, lost in thought.

“Kamuro-kun said that it’s okay if we don’t have any personal points right now, we can pay in installments, as long as we write a contract,” Kushida Kikyo said, then offered, “Should we ask everyone to help? I think if everyone contributes 10,000 points, we can quickly gather enough.”

Horikita Suzune began to hesitate. She admitted that Kushida Kikyo's suggestion was a good one, but she also doubted how many points Class D still had.
