Real teaching, but diary flow

This kind of wholehearted and unguarded trust is truly captivating.

"...I just wanted everyone to believe what Horikita-kun said." Kikyo Kushida lowered her head in disappointment.

Disappointment, regret, sadness, as if she truly cared about Horikita Suzune and everyone in the class.

Horikita Suzune said coldly, "With Chabashira-sensei here, there's no need to worry about such issues."

Whether Horikita believed it or not was irrelevant, but the other students did believe it.

They not only believed it, but also turned against Horikita Suzune.

"Kushida-san meant well, Horikita, aren't you going a bit too far?"

"Yeah, yeah, Kikyo cares about her so much, but she still has this attitude."

"They really don't know what's good for them."

"Everyone..." Kikyo Kushida initially showed a happy expression of being helped, but that expression quickly turned to sadness: "Don't attack Horikita-san because of me. I believe she didn't really mean it..."

He couldn't betray the support of others, but he also couldn't let Horikita Suzune become his complete enemy.

"...Since Kokushida has said so..."

"Shouldn't we thank Kikyo for her tolerance?"

For some reason, perhaps because he didn't see Horikita Suzune's counterattack, the guy, feeling victorious, raised his arrogant neck.

“…” Horikita Suzune sighed silently: “In short, we have fallen behind.”

"If we don't want to fall behind in the class competition, we need to buy the exact rules of this special exam."

Falling behind by one step might still allow her to catch up, but if she falls further behind, there's no guarantee she can make any progress.

Not to mention, the diary also mentions a "connected" student who was squeezed into Class A.

No matter where you are, having connections is always a dangerous thing.

Because they disregard fair rules and manipulate the outcome at will through powerful backers.

Horikita Suzune was indeed very confident in her abilities, but she also lacked the confidence to rival the powerful hand of authority.

Unless Class D produces undeniable achievements that make the school retract its behind-the-scenes manipulation.

Or, they might integrate into a group based on the unquestionable rule of transferring classes for 20 million.

...If she remembered correctly, her brother was in Class A.

"Pay up, five thousand per person." Stopping her overthinking, Horikita Suzune patted the podium and said decisively, "If you don't trust me, you can transfer them to Kushida or Hirata and have them give them to the teacher."

It's only the third day, surely there aren't people who can't even come up with 5,000 points?

"..."

"..."

"No no no no no no, although I don't know what nonsense you're talking about and what you've decided on your own, I'm not going to pay it!" After a brief silence, the first to jump up and shout was Haruki Yamauchi: "It will become 100,000 points in just one more day, why do we have to pay this money today?"

"Besides, whether we're lagging behind or not is just Horikita's own opinion, isn't it? Why has it suddenly turned into a class competition?"

“Yeah, yeah, I won’t contribute either. If you think it’s lagging behind, Horikita, you can just pay for it yourself. Anyway, you’ll get 100,000 next month, right?” Ike chimed in from the side.

With these two people taking the lead, the students in the class who were hesitating over the difference between 200,000 and 100,000 immediately stopped hesitating.

"Yes, yes, we can lend it to you."

"Buying it tomorrow is the same thing."

"Why would a teacher ask a student for money?"

The same words and viewpoints that had appeared before once again filled the entire Class D of Grade 1.

......

Chapter 40 Please lend me money

despair.

Complete despair.

One different, noisy voice after another poured into her ears, but Horikita Suzune only felt a chill run through her body.

How could I be considered to be on the same level as such a group of people?

...If she is guilty, punish her instead of throwing her into this garbage dump.

Is transferring classes with 20 million points really the only option?

No, we can't give up just like that.

Horikita Suzune recalled the increasingly complex expression on her brother's face the day before, and a resolute glint flashed in her eyes once more.

Her heart was pounding as she glanced at her 'classmates' below the stage, the ones who were stirring up so many emotions within her.

"Please lend me the money." She said heavily, bending down.

It was more humiliating than I had imagined, but surprisingly not as painful.

Perhaps it was by listening to their discussions little by little that I gradually lowered my standards.

Horikita Suzune simply bit her lip tightly, quietly waiting for their response.

"..."

"..."

Horikita Suzune bent down, and then she silenced all the voices in Class D.

Mocking words, urging words, sarcastic glances, calm stares.

Everyone was silent.

Except for Koenji Temple.

"Hahahaha, hahahaha, Horikita girl, you're even more interesting than I imagined." He laughed heartily, as if he were amused, revealing a bright smile: "In that case, I'll lend you five thousand points!"

No one paid attention to what Koenji said; everyone in the class already knew he was an oddball.

So, although Koenji broke the silence, the class returned to a deathly silence once his voice subsided.

It wasn't until Hirata Yosuke took a deep breath and turned around that he stopped.

"...You've gone too far." Hirata Yosuke's voice suddenly turned deep: "Horikita-kun was clearly thinking of the class."

His fist clenched unconsciously, his nails seemingly about to dig into his palm.

If things continue like this, he'll probably get angry.

Sensing this, the hot girl next to him quickly spoke up to ease the tension:

"Hirata-kun is right. Don't go too far. Horikita-kun is doing this for the class. Besides, it's only 200,000 yen. We get 100,000 yen every month. There's no need to worry too much."

With her taking the lead, the others quickly changed their tune:

"Yes, yes, we're sorry, Horikita-kun. We really went too far."

"Lift your head up, we'll pay for it even if you don't do it this way."

However, although the atmosphere in the class seemed to be easing, there were still discordant voices.

"But, but it only costs 100,000 tomorrow..." Chi Kuanji muttered softly.

Although the sound was very soft, it was still very clear in the classroom.

So, Hirata Yosuke turned his head and looked up at him:

"Ok?"

The pressure suddenly increased, and Chi Kuan-chi immediately fell silent, shrinking his head back.

He doesn't want to be the first to stick his neck out.

"Tch, what are you pretending to be a good guy for?" Ike Kanji had backed down, but Yamauchi Haruki still spat under his breath, his face full of resentment.

Anyway, it's just that pretending to be a good person makes girls like you, right?

However, despite their reservations, the outcome will not change.

One by one, the classmates transferred 5,000 points to Hirata. Although they were very reluctant, Yamauchi and Ike eventually paid the money.

After paying, they moved closer to Sudo Kenji, who hadn't said a word since earlier:

"Hey, Ken, why aren't you speaking up for us?"

"What does Hirata matter as long as you speak?"

"..." Sudo Ken, unusually different from his irritability of the past few days, waved his hand with a calm face: "Don't make a fuss, let them do whatever they want, it has nothing to do with me anyway."

"I'm really annoyed right now."

Yesterday, he joined the basketball team.

He thought that even if his life and studies were a complete mess, as long as he had basketball, he would have a reason to live.

He's unbeatable in basketball.

So he joined the basketball team.

Then, the head of the basketball team turned on the screen in the department office, pointed to the people on the screen, and said to the new members:

"Our goal is to defeat the Generation of Miracles."

He had heard the name before, but had never really looked into it. His family situation was already making him quite anxious, and with his focus on basketball, Sudo Takeru wouldn't care about anything else.

Moreover, he firmly believes that he is invincible in basketball, so he doesn't need to know about the Generation of Miracles.

But perhaps it was to shatter their pride, or perhaps it was to make them realize the gap between them.

The minister opened the video of the 'Generation of Miracles' match.

...He realized for the first time that basketball could be played in that way.

What is this? What is this? Are they even human? Is this something humans could do?

Awful.

In that case, wouldn't he have no skills he can actually use?!

After tossing and turning all night, Sudo Ken was still extremely agitated.

“Eh…” Yamauchi Kazuike’s face immediately fell.

They couldn't rely on Sudo Ken and were even less likely to actively oppose anything. Although they were quite unhappy about losing 5,000 yen from their wallets, they weren't so upset when they thought about the 100,000 yen that would come in next month.

Bored out of their minds, they sat at their desks and smiled as they watched the wicked teacher on the podium accept 200,000 points.

“Very good, I have received the points.” Chabashira Sae nodded. “Next, I will tell you the contents of the special exam for the first month as promised.”

“'Code of Conduct Test'”.

"As the name suggests, it examines students' most basic behavioral norms. From being late or leaving early to playing on their phones or being inattentive in class, any behavior that violates normal student behavior norms will result in point deductions."

"Roughly estimated... you've probably already lost over a hundred points, right?" Chabashira Sae tilted her head. "No, probably even more."

"After all, your actions these past two days have indeed exceeded my expectations. If it weren't for today, I might even suspect that you would become the worst Class D in the history of Advanced Development."

Today is the third day, which is only a little over two days in total, not even counting the first day when I didn't have class.

Judging from the violations she can see, she could lose more than a hundred points. Considering that she can only see her own D class, not the points deducted under surveillance, it's hard to imagine what the result will be after the first month.

"Code of Conduct Test..."

"Being late or leaving early will result in points being deducted..."

"Over a hundred points have already been deducted..."

The students in the class were stunned, murmuring and pondering what Chashu Sae had said.

Then, almost everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look at the location of the trio.

If they remember correctly... it seems like the three of them have been late and left early every day for the past two days... right?

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you looking at me for? This has nothing to do with me! It's all the teacher's fault! Why didn't they tell us from the beginning that it was an exam?!" Sensing the pressure of the students' silent silence, Haruki Yamauchi couldn't help but 'retaliate' first: "Besides, doesn't Koenji never listen in class either?!"

Regardless of whether he is right or wrong, it's always right to criticize others first.

"Because it's an 'exam'." Suddenly, at that moment, a light voice rang out from outside the door.
