The Great Teacher's Skill-First Classroom

"So your low-scoring strategy won't be much help to our class."

"However, if you can write down the number of students who drop out of the second-to-last place in Class D, then I can personally sponsor you with 10 points."

"As for the 100,000 points, I'm giving them to you because you seem to have grown since you entered school, Horikita-san." Sakayanagi said.

In other words, is it a reward for her growth?

Horikita Suzune then looked over.

"One hundred thousand?" Horikita said.

"Yes." Sakayanagi nodded. "Your concessions won't have much impact on Class A. This is my personal contribution."

"Okay." But Horikita Suzune didn't refuse or want more, but agreed directly and quickly.

"..." Hachiman.

And Hachiman also discovered it.

Horikita Suzune seemed to have started collecting points.

and.

It seemed like she had been tricked by Sakayanagi.

ps: This chapter has 6000 words, 2500 words are used to pay back the debt, and there are still 47.75 words owed.

ps: Well, quack!

Chapter 161: Class A is shaken! 6k! Brothers, please give me blades at the end of the month!

Sakayanagi-san sponsored Horikita-san in a personal capacity.

But now Horikita-san has come to challenge her, not only disturbing her time as a couple, but also asking for points in exchange for a deal. She has been able to hold back and even give him points, which is quite tolerant.

but.

It's just 100,000 points. If the students in Class D can cover the expulsion penalty for the second-to-last place, then all the students in the class can rest assured.

However, just as she said to Horikita Suzune, as long as the students in Class A can maintain their usual grades for the exams, they won't end up as the worst performer in the second-to-last group and be expelled.

just.

Some of the students in Class A of the second grade would feel uneasy even if they knew this.

because.

Can't afford to lose.

Don't want to lose here.

For the current second-year Class A, they can clearly see the dawn of Class A's graduation. As long as they can stay, they will have a good future.

If something that is about to succeed changes in the middle of the process, it would be like missing a huge opportunity.

Now all the students in the class will be anxious.

Kamuro herself received messages from several students, and she wanted to confirm Sakayanagi Arisu's intention in advance and decide who would be given the exemption.

There are two risks of being expelled from the school in this exam: the second to last and the last in the group.

Normally, the group that needs to be worried about is the last-placed group, but now some people are also worried about the second-to-last-placed group, which clearly shows that they have lost their usual rationality.

So now you can get a peace of mind pill for 10 points, which is very cheap.

in this way.

Sakayanagi-san and Horikita-san reached an agreement at a very low price.

"So, if you're sure there are no problems with this agreement, please sign it here, Sakayanagi-san."

The person who proposed the deal was Horikita Suzune, and the person who drafted the agreement was naturally Horikita Suzune as well.

Or perhaps she actually came with an agreement.

It seemed as if he was certain that Arisu Sakayanagi would agree.

Sakayanagi-san then looked at the contents of the agreement.

Regarding this year's combined written exam, we, Class 2 D, promise not to allow any student from Class 2 A to fall to the second-to-last place and be forced to drop out.

"That's not right, Horikita-san." Sakayanagi Arisu glanced at the agreement briefly before turning back to Horikita Suzune. "I want you, the second-year Class D, to provide a backup, not just let the Class A students sit on the sidelines."

Sakayanagi-san's eyes are clear and wise.

True.

It seems that Horikita is not as emotionally intelligent as her brother. She doesn't even recognize the atmosphere and directly disturbs other couples' lives.

but.

It's also true that Sakayanagi didn't tell Horikita that she was the one dating Hikigaya-san.

So look at it from this perspective.

Horikita, Hikigaya's fake girlfriend, is really doing her best by running around for Hikigaya, even acting in a play.

So this is the side of Sakayanagi that finally allows her to be tolerant of Horikita Suzune.

If Sakayanagi wasn't worried about letting down the former student council president, she would have planned to make use of Horikita.

of course.

Sakayanagi is not stupid.

She has already experienced the saying "raising a tiger to bring disaster upon oneself" from her junior schoolmate Tianze.

Originally, she thought that Tianze, her junior, was an excellent worker and a natural at working, so she naturally gave the green light to bring her in and even brought her into the student union.

It turned out that the other party came to steal the house.

So if she gave Horikita Suzune some more chances, there was no telling what might happen.

after all.

Both she and Kushida agree that Horikita might have some perception of the opposite sex towards Hikigaya, and there's only one reason they can get along so well with each other despite this perception: she might not yet be aware of her own feelings for Hikigaya.

So, this is where Horikita Suzune falls behind.

However, Horikita-san's current state...

"Sakayanagi-san, the points you gave are too few," Horikita Suzune said without caring about the atmosphere. "And since our class is required to cover everything, I also need to make some adjustments, so..."

In other words, the points Sakayanagi gave were too few. If Sakayanagi wanted to achieve the result of Class D of the second grade taking all the places, then she would have to pay more money.

"How many tens of thousands?" Sakayanagi asked.

"More than 200 million." Lingyin answered calmly.

"..." Sakayanagi. "I won't spend that much."

"I'm not blackmailing you," Horikita said. "If Sakayanagi is willing to pay the last-place group enough points to exempt the entire group from expulsion, then I can guarantee that the students in our class who are assigned to that group will definitely not refuse to pay the points."

"I've already consulted with the homeroom teacher, and while they haven't received any specific information yet, once the rankings are announced, if the students in a group wish to use their points to exempt the last-place group from expulsion, it's unclear whether all students in that group will need to agree to this.

For example, if a student in that group were to withdraw from the program, it would be unclear whether using points to exempt the entire group from the withdrawal penalty would still be effective.

"So, I think it would be great for your class to get a sense of our students' attitudes beforehand," Horikita Suzune said calmly. "After all, you don't want any of your students to be expelled, do you?"

In other words, Horikita Suzune said this based on the assumption that Class A will definitely protect everyone?

It's so annoying.

Isn't this just like when we were in class this morning and found out that our class A had been made the scapegoats?

Not only Hikigaya-kun, but even Class D saw through it.

Not wanting to lose and not letting people drop out easily is the wish of all the students in Class A of Grade 2. However, once greed sets in, they will be easily taken advantage of.

Compromise and interests.

Sakayanagi-san didn't want to take this class, but given the current situation, even she couldn't find a way to refuse.

It can be said that the pressure of this exam is much greater than the last time when Hashimoto who surrendered to the enemy was expelled.

Because this may not just be pressure from students and competitors around.

And this.

Sakayanagi-san looked at the boy who had remained silent since Horikita-san spoke.

……

Arisu Sakayanagi signed the agreement prepared by Horikita, then turned around and left with his puppy Kamuro-san.

Hachiman hasn't left yet.

Because when we were about to break up, Horikita sent me a message.

[Wait a moment]

Only three words.

But she might not be good at typing on her phone with her hands in her pockets, so she could only type out short words under Sakayanagi's nose.

"So."

Watching Sakayanagi-san disappear on the third floor, Hachiman looked at Horikita Suzune.

Although he can often see Horikita-san, and even often goes to her dormitory to cook and eat together, Hachiman should be familiar with all kinds of Horikita Suzune.

but.

Today is the first day that Horikita-san leaves his class, so even though she is wearing the same school uniform as usual and even uses the same laundry detergent that she bought at the supermarket with him, it still gives people a fresh feeling.

This is probably the reason why [distance creates beauty].

but.

"You asked me to stay because you want to report something?" Hachiman said while sitting in his seat.

"Yeah." Lingyin nodded. "I went back to Class D today. Judging from the rules of this exam, going back to Class D is a good option. If I go to Class A early because the transfer paper is due and you gave me the agreement to transfer to Class A, then this exam will be dangerous for me."

From Sakayanagi's attitude, it can be seen that Class A has put a lot of effort into protecting the students this time.

Even willing to suffer some losses.

Then.

What would happen if she didn't return to Class D as instructed by Hachiman, but went to Class A early?

I'm afraid I'll be treated as a discarded pawn.

after all.

The students in Class A want to protect the fruits of their labor, not the new members, so if new members come, they will probably be immediately regarded as objects to be abandoned.

Then at that time, Horikita-san will not be able to negotiate with Sakayanagi like she does now, and she might be treated by Sakayanagi as a candidate to drop out of Class A.

in this way.

Horikita Suzune was staring at Hikigaya-kun with piercing eyes.

In other words, is Horikita-san saying that she was protected by Hachiman once?

But this is Ichinose's line. Horikita-san, do you have anything else?

Hachiman continued to stare at Horikita.

Then he noticed that when his eyes fell on Horikita, her face seemed to be slightly red.

But this should be a good thing.

Since a nerd like Horikita-san wouldn't have any emotional troubles during her studies, her blushing face could only be due to emotional fluctuations.

For example.

Does she have anything to boast about and want to show off?

"There's something wrong with the agreement with Sakayanagi," Hachiman said to Horikita Suzune.

What Sakayanagi wanted to sign with Horikita was that Class D would take all the expulsion spots for the second-to-last group.

The reason is that the last-place group had all its members expelled, which was unavoidable. Therefore, we wanted to throw the other expulsion risk to Class D.

It is the most reasonable and cheapest option.
