“I just returned.”
After finishing dinner and preparing for their final exams, our last roommate, Hiyori, returns.
"Welcome back Hiyori. How was the study session?"
"It's neither good nor bad. How did you create the problem?"
"This one is neither good nor bad. Even if it's writing questions, if it's a subject you're good at, it's not that hard."
Whether it's modern literature or classics, I've already completed 50 questions each.
At this rate, I should be able to easily complete 300 questions by next week.
"I'm doing well so far, too."
"That's more than anything... Hachiman-kun."
As I say this, Hiyori turns her cheeks red and looks at me expectantly, so I realize what Hiyori wants, so I approach her and kiss her.
"Hmm...welcome back"
"...Yes. I'm back now."
Hiyori gives me a gentle smile and hugs me tightly, so I hug her back. I am happy to directly feel the warmth of others.
"Can I make you some tea?"
"No. I still have the tea I bought. Come to think of it, Hachiman-kun."
"what up?"
"Actually, there was a D-class spy in our class. Is Hachiman-kun involved?"
"Oh, that sounds like a really interesting story."
Arisu enters the conversation with great interest. In Arisu's case, it's natural because she likes things that are stimulating.
"I heard about that from Ryuen before, but it's different. To begin with, the only people I know in Class B are you and Ryuuen."
"Is that so? Excuse me."
"I don't really care. So? What happened to that spy?"
"Now then? I understand about the spy, but after it was revealed, Ryuen-kun sent everyone other than his close aides, the spy, and their friends into the classroom."
Then Hiyori doesn't know. Although Hiyori is talented, she has no interest in conflicts between classes, and it's uncertain whether she'll be a force to be reckoned with.
Well, considering Ryuen's personality, when it comes to spies, he probably treats them no better than insects...
No, because of Ryuen's personality, he might dare to forgive them and attack the culprit.
As I was thinking about it, a sound began to echo in the room.
"Oh, that's my cell phone. Excuse me."
Hiyori said as she took out her cell phone from her pocket and tried to use it, but halfway through, it froze.
She stares at her phone and don't move at all. Arisu and Masumi also look suspicious at this.
"Hiyori? What's wrong with you?"
When Masumi talks to Hiyori, Hiyori turns to face me and smiles.
However, for some reason, I felt a black aura coming from her and it took my breath away.
Judging from the color of her aura, she seems angry, but did I do something?
I'm a little scared...
"Hachiman-kun. I just received an email from Ryuen-kun, and before I knew it, you had become friends with a new girl."
Hiyori holds out her cell phone. There was a picture of me and Matsushita talking trash at a cafe.
This bastard Ryuen! He snitched!
While I was stunned by the unexpected photo, Arisu and Masumi, who saw the image as well as me, began to emit a black aura.
"Wow. I can't believe Hachiman-kun is having a friendly chat at the cafe..."
「………」
Arisu gives me a sneer, and Masumi stares at me without saying a word. I can't bear to stay there.
I can't bear to stay there.
My thoughts are getting messed up.
(You little snitch! If I survive this situation, I'll kill you.)
While secretly harboring murderous intent towards Ryuen, I faces three people who emit a dark aura.
"Wait! She's my partner for this test, and we were talking about the exam, so I don't have any other intentions."
"...Is it true? There's no way she'll be your fourth cohabitant, right?"
"Hey!"
Don't just come to your own conclusions!
Masumi asked for it, but in the case of Hiyori and Arisu, they were living together as if they were getting on board, so they didn't make the request.
In fact, even though this room is two times the size of a normal room, I have no intention of increasing the number of residents any further.
"That's fine. Hiyori-san and Masumi-san are already strong, but it would be troublesome if a new person appeared."
Hiyori and Masumi nod at Arisu's words, but I seriously want someone to refrain from falling in love with me any more.
I'm having a hard time even choosing one out of the three. It is obvious that if the number increases further, it will become even more troublesome than it is now.
“However, we are getting anxious, so please love us as much as you can later.”
Hiyori and Masumi nod at Arisu's words.
Apparently tomorrow will be due to lack of sleep. Well, I don't hate loving these three people, so it's fine.
I accepted Arisu's proposal without any particular dissatisfaction.
30 minutes later…
Ping Dong
I ring the intercom in a certain room, then move so that I can't be seen by the intercom's camera.
"Who"
I can hear my enemy's voice coming from the intercom, but I don't speak, and after a while I hear footsteps from the other side of the door and the sound of the door being unlocked.
Then, as soon as the door opened, I kicked my enemy who opened the door.
But my kick was blocked.
"Yo Hikigaya. Did you come to play? We welcome you."
Ryuen accepts my kick while laughing. Apparently they expected me to come.
"It's all your fault! Hiyori and the others gave off a dark aura because of the email you sent, right?"
"Hey, hey. I just sent the email because I was worried that my classmate's boyfriend might be cheating on her, right?"
"Don't lie. You definitely thought it was funny and snitched, right?!"
"I won't deny it. So? Is that woman the fourth woman after all? Did you eat her like Sakayanagi and the others?"
"No. They're just the pair for this test. Also, I haven't eaten Arisu and the others yet either, okay?"
Actually, I did, but I'm not going to give an honest answer.
"That's a lie. I'm sitting next to Hiyori in the classroom."
“Then what happened?”
"The zipper of her bag was opened earlier, and I saw a prescription that said contraceptive pills written on it. That's when you devoured Hiyori. And since you ate Hiyori, Sakayanagi was also eaten. You ate Kamuro too, right?”
Tsk. If that's the case, it can't be helped that people think I'm sleeping with three people.
Or rather, this guy Ryuen is too smart, isn't he?
"Looks like you found out."
"Well, I knew that before I saw the prescription. Hiyori's attitude has changed since the sports festival, and quite a few people have noticed."
Is it so? I didn't think anything had changed since we were always together, but would it look like I had changed from a third party's point of view?
I see, so that's why I thought Sudo had changed?
He really did it with Horikita!
"I see. I mean, back to the topic, fuck it."
While saying this, I swings my fist, but Ryuen stops me again. The guy in question is grinning, but I want to punch him in the face.
"So? are you going to add that woman to your harem and sow more seeds?"
"I am seriously going to kill you? Stop using such graphic expressions!"
Moreover, it's obvious that this guy doesn't think there's anything wrong with it.
The way he was grinning from now on was really annoying.
"...Sigh. Well, that's fine. Even if I try more, I won't be able to break your stupid face, so I'm going home today... but I'll kill you someday."
"I'm looking forward to it."
Ryuen looks like he's having fun, but I'll definitely make you cry!
"Also, Hikigaya. I'll be messing around with D-class in the near future, so I'd appreciate it if you had a chance."
After saying that, Ryuen closes the door, but are you going to mess with us? What are you going to do?
Of course, messing with other classes is one of their tactics, but in the case of Ryuen, there is a high possibility that they will mess with you in a very malicious way, so you can't let your guard down.
For now, let's just pray that I have no connection.
With that in mind, I use the elevator to return to my room. The three people in the room all look at me at the same time.
"Welcome back Hachiman. Did you hit Ryuen?"
"Unfortunately, everything was prevented, so it's time for the next time. For now, take a bath and rest."
That's the answer to Masumi's question. I was already mentally exhausted from being overwhelmed by the black aura emitted by Hiyori and the others and attacking Ryuen's room.
"Let's go then."
When I start preparing for the bath, the three of them also start preparing for the bath, and when I head to the changing room, the three of them also head to the changing room.
Then, when I took off all my clothes and entered the bathroom, the three of them also entered the bathroom a moment later.
This has happened all the time, so I don't really have any doubts about it...
"...Why are you guys hugging me?"
Today, for some reason, as soon as I entered the bathroom, all three of them hugged me at once.
I can feel the softness of the three people's bodies, and I understand that my rationality is inevitably weakened.
"It's a simple story. While Hachiman-kun went to Ryuen-kun's place earlier, we decided to stop him from being interested in girls other than us."
"I don't want to have more rivals."
"That's why I'm going to attack every day from now on..."
The three of them tightened their grip on me with captivating expressions on their faces, and as a result my rationality was further weakened...
"Please do as you please, Hachiman.''
At the end of those words, something inside me exploded.
Before I knew it, it was morning, and the four of us were intertwined in bed, completely unclothed.
_______________
"Then I'll end HR."
After Chabashira-sensei says that and leaves the classroom, I quickly head towards the library.
Last time, as a result of creating a problem at a cafe, I shared a table with Matsushita and was misunderstood by Hiyori and the others.
However, in a library, there would be no such misunderstanding. Private conversation is strictly prohibited, and it's crowded at this time of year, so it's not uncommon to find yourself face-to-face with people you don't know.
Then, I sit down in a comfortable seat, open my computer, and start writing questions.
I made about 150 questions yesterday, but I would like to make 300 questions today, 400 questions by tomorrow, and receive 200,000 points from Horikita.
I was working on problems while alternating between looking at the red book I had brought with me and my computer when I was tapped on the shoulder.
When I looked up, I saw Horikita and Ayanokoji, red dot candidates like Ike, Yamauchi, and Sato, and even C class students like Ichinose.
Ichinose?! Why?
"W-what do you want? If you want to create problems, wait until tomorrow. I'll finish creating the problems by tomorrow."
I was so startled, my speech got worse.
"No, I'm going to study jointly with Ichinose-san and the others, so I want you to go to the corner of the seat, not the middle."
Got it.
Where I'm sitting is in the center of the seat. It would be a nuisance to the members of the study group. I forgot about that.
"Okay. Wait a minute."
“Thank you…or rather, you said you would finish making the questions by tomorrow, but how many questions have you made so far?”
“When you start talking to me, there are 165 questions.”
"You made that much. I want you to seriously contribute to the class on a regular basis."
"I'll contribute during the exam."
Or rather, there are people who are even more powerful than me, right?
Like Koenji, and Ayanokoji next to Horikita, who sighs.
"Huh? Is Hikigaya-kun creating all the D-class problems?"
I stared at Ichinose's curious face for a moment, and gulped slightly, thinking about a proper answer.
"No. What I'm creating is modern Japanese and classics. The reason I'm creating extra questions is to prevent information leaks, and if you're prepared, you won't have to worry."
When I answered that to Ichinose's question, she looked at me with surprise.
"……What?"
"Well, I apologize if I offended you, but I didn't think Hikigaya-kun would help the class. I thought he would just focus on his studies and not get involved in anything else."
"Well, if you know my personality, you'd think so. But I simply signed a good contract and was offered a bonus, so I just accepted it."
"Ah, it's just a stepping stone to accumulate 20 million points. You're amazing as always."
"Really? Aren't you also preparing to save 20 million yen?"
Sakayanagi and Ryuen are also creating funding sources. Ichinose may also be thinking about saving 20 million yen, but even if she isn't, she is definitely preparing financial sources.
"I'm looking for ways to earn points, but I have no intention of moving up to A class individually. I want to move up to A class together with everyone in the class."
She said the thing! It's dangerous to get involved with her any further than this.
And It doesn't look like she's lying.
But would you like to try out the strength of this green tea a little?
"Huh... So, if Arisu were to invite you to come to A-Class because she'll lend you 20 million yen'' in order to increase the number of promising talent in A-Class, would you turn her down?”
Those words made the people around her make a fuss, but I ignored them and looked at Ichinose warily, who nodded without hesitation.
"Of course. I decided to go up to class A with everyone else, and I want to go up with everyone."
“Even if you keep losing in the future, would you mind?”
"Of course"
This girl is serious about what she says.
There are many hypocrites in this world who only speak, but this one is different.
Even if Arisu really tried to hand over 20 million yen, she probably wouldn't accept it.
From my point of view, Ichinose's idea is to get along with everyone in the class and do their best, which is the same idea as Hayama.
But I'm not going to deny that.
I don't deny that I don't like the idea of everyone getting along, but unlike Hayama, Ichinose doesn't think of helping the big boy and abandoning the small boy if he's in a pinch, and she'll do his best without abandoning the small boy no matter what the situation is.
No wonder she brainwashed the students in her class into becoming small little angels.
Phew...
I'm really glad that I wasn't assigned to Ichinose's class.
"I see. Sorry for asking such a stupid question."
"Nyahaha. There's no need to worry about it. But can I also ask Hikigaya-kun a question?"
"It's fine. I don't know if I'll answer though."
"Of course I won't force you. I know Hikigaya-kun is trying to save 20 million, but if Hikigaya-kun saves 20 million, the class he belongs to will be A. So, there's a chance that you will join my class, right?"
Forehead? Is that the question...
Did she saw through my thoughts? and realised why I'm keeping my distance from her?
Is Ichinose targeting me?! I broke out in a cold sweat.
Fuck!
"M-my goal is to go to the same class as Arisu. I promised her first." I replied, slightly scared of being attacked by dark Ichinose.
By the way, Hiyori also asked me to come to her class, but I declined. It's not bad in Hiyori's class, but I am not confident that I can get along well with Ryuen, and Arisu invited me out first.
If I end up in the same class as Hiyori, I'll have no choice but to prepare another 20 million yen and pull myself out.
"Hehe. Then I'll just have to do my best to defeat Sakayanagi-san and 'change' Hikigaya-kun's mind about joining my class and reach Class A with the help of everyone!" Ichinose said, some dangerous things with a creepy smile on her face.
What do you mean by changing my mind? It's just brainwashing!
Help!
"...I asked you this before, but are you serious? Aren't you interested in getting university recommendations or getting a job?"
Horikita says this in a doubtful manner. The students who attend this school may not understand.
"I originally entered this school because I want to cut off contact with the outside world. I'm not that interested in going on to higher education or being recommended, which is what most students dream of. I think it would be nice if there was one, but I don't want to force myself to get it. That’s not what I want.”
If I hadn't gone on to this school, I would never have been able to live a successful school life because I would have gotten mixed up with two members of the service club and a bachelor.
From my point of view, I am completely satisfied as soon as I was able to enroll in this school.
“Also, you don’t have to fight between classes, you just need to study hard for the entrance exam, get a qualification, take the general entrance exam, and look for a job.”
It is well known that you cannot receive the benefits of recommended examinations or recommended employment unless you pass the A class, but if you cannot receive the benefits, you can simply take the general examination or seek employment.
For general entrance exams, there is no problem as long as you have academic ability, and even if you don't have a recommendation for a job, if you have qualifications that will help you get the job you want, companies won't treat you poorly.
Most of the students were at a loss for words after hearing my comment, and Ichinose smiled bitterly.
"Ahaha... Well, Hikigaya-kun's opinion is very valid. But then, it's the same as an outside school, and I think the teacher would definitely punish you if she heard it, right?"
Yeah. Just like my future life guidance teacher.
I guess so. If we, the students, were to accept my opinion and abandon the conflicts between classes and concentrate on studying for entrance exams and qualifications, the school would become a normal school, and in a sense, Tokyo Advanced Nurturing High School would die.
They'll definitely kick me out, if I cause a riot in the school.
"I see. However, it's virtually impossible to reverse the C and D classes of second and third years, and I'm sure there are students who have the same idea as me, right?"
Class points for 1st year are...
A class 809
B class 700
C class 650
D class 452
And, at this point, it's not like D-class doesn't have a chance.
But will the school really allow idiots like Ike, Yamauchi, Shinohara to graduate as Class A's elite students and allow them to represent ANHS in society?
Won't the school lose it's face?
No matter how much Class D has grown, the hardware of Class A and B will always be better than the lower classes?
It makes me question the school's policy a little bit?
Is it possible that the competition between classes is itself just a big farce from the school's side and lower classes are just guinea pigs to nurture upper classes!
My thoughts become quite negative, I was starting to feel depressed.
So, I stopped thinking and put my focus on the current situation.
The adult world is really dirty after all.
However, the class points for 2nd and 3rd year are certain...
2nd year class points
A class 1360
B class 876
C class 267
D class 69
3rd year class points
A class 1141
B class 815
C class 309
D class 83
It should have been.
For the second year, the A class already has a difference of nearly 500 points from the B class. Moreover, the current A class is the former B class.
In other words, even though they were in second place when they first entered the school, they were promoted to class A and now have a lead of nearly 500 points.
I think this is due to President Nagumo's ability, his ranking will not change for the second year until he graduates.
For the 3rd year, there has been no change in the ranking since enrollment, but since graduation is less than 6 months away, most likely there will be no change in the ranking.
The leader of Class A is Former President Horikita Manabu after all.
Well, anyway, I think some students have given up on the fact that the second and third year C and D classes have an absolute difference from the second-place B class, so they think it's impossible to pass the grade.
And I'm sure there are quite a few students who have the same idea as me.
If they don't, they might end up in a miserable situation after they graduate.
"Hmm... That's certainly true. Nagumo-senpai also said something about the motivation of the lower classes."
“I see, that person also had the idea of making the school a true merit-based school.”
The idea of giving a chance to an individual may be unconventional, but President Nagumo is an A-class leader.
If the school becomes what President Nagumo wants, it will give the talented students in the lower classes a chance to turn things around.
Did he also realise that the school's policy of allowing lower classes to graduate as Class A could be just a big farce from their side?
So, he's giving a chance to stronger individuals in lower classes?
In this case, it's definitely a good relief measure for students like me who have no interest in their own class.
But former President was against it, which means he believes in collective not individuals and thinks lower classes can only do best if they cooperate.
So, there's a possibility that Horikita Manabu who always followed the school rules and remains neutral did not realise about the school's real intention of using lower Classes C and D as guinea pigs?
Since it goes against his ideals and was narrow-minded that school won't do something like this?
I didn't know that the former President was a naive person.
The truth is in front of everyone, not a single Class C or Class D has ever graduated as Class A ever since the school was founded.
And I think being defective products or basic hardware being too low is not just the only reason?
I think, even the school will not allow them to graduate as Class A and could interfere in special exams by giving low CPT and high CPT depending on the situation.
Should I investigate it a little if any lower class ever comes close to A and then failed?
Forget it, I don't want to make school my enemy and kick me out.
Besides, If I were in President Nagumo's position, I'm confident that I would maintain the status quo and do my best to ensure that we remain in A class.
"Ah, Nagumo-senpai reminded me, aren't you interested in the student council? Nagumo-senpai said yesterday that he would talk to Hikigaya-kun in the near future."
"Seriously?"
"Yeah. Even though Hikigaya is in the D-class, he's one of the best in the year, and he's the perfect fit for the system I'm thinking of," he said, fully intending to recruit you".
That would be an overestimate. There are still talented players like Arisu, Ryuen, and Koenji in the first year.
I rejected Horikita Manabu earlier because of my personal reasons, and but I keep getting recruited to join the student council.
"I'm sorry, but just say I'll pass. I don't want to spend less time with Arisu and the others."
"Ahaha...I didn't think you'd refuse for that reason."
"My personal time comes first. Shouldn't you start studying soon?"
I was creating problems even while talking...
"Ah"
But Ichinose's C class students and Horikita's D class students have not even been sitting down yet, let alone spreading out their study materials.
After hearing my words, everyone tried to sit down at the same time, so I moved to the corner, just as Horikita had asked me to do, so as not to get in the way.
“I just returned.”
After finishing dinner and preparing for their final exams, our last roommate, Hiyori, returns.
"Welcome back Hiyori. How was the study session?"
"It's neither good nor bad. How did you create the problem?"
"This one is neither good nor bad. Even if it's writing questions, if it's a subject you're good at, it's not that hard."
Whether it's modern literature or classics, I've already completed 50 questions each.
At this rate, I should be able to easily complete 300 questions by next week.
"I'm doing well so far, too."
"That's more than anything... Hachiman-kun."
As I say this, Hiyori turns her cheeks red and looks at me expectantly, so I realize what Hiyori wants, so I approach her and kiss her.
"Hmm...welcome back"
"...Yes. I'm back now."
Hiyori gives me a gentle smile and hugs me tightly, so I hug her back. I am happy to directly feel the warmth of others.
"Can I make you some tea?"
"No. I still have the tea I bought. Come to think of it, Hachiman-kun."
"what up?"
"Actually, there was a D-class spy in our class. Is Hachiman-kun involved?"
"Oh, that sounds like a really interesting story."
Arisu enters the conversation with great interest. In Arisu's case, it's natural because she likes things that are stimulating.
"I heard about that from Ryuen before, but it's different. To begin with, the only people I know in Class B are you and Ryuuen."
"Is that so? Excuse me."
"I don't really care. So? What happened to that spy?"
"Now then? I understand about the spy, but after it was revealed, Ryuen-kun sent everyone other than his close aides, the spy, and their friends into the classroom."
Then Hiyori doesn't know. Although Hiyori is talented, she has no interest in conflicts between classes, and it's uncertain whether she'll be a force to be reckoned with.
Well, considering Ryuen's personality, when it comes to spies, he probably treats them no better than insects...
No, because of Ryuen's personality, he might dare to forgive them and attack the culprit.
As I was thinking about it, a sound began to echo in the room.
"Oh, that's my cell phone. Excuse me."
Hiyori said as she took out her cell phone from her pocket and tried to use it, but halfway through, it froze.
She stares at her phone and don't move at all. Arisu and Masumi also look suspicious at this.
"Hiyori? What's wrong with you?"
When Masumi talks to Hiyori, Hiyori turns to face me and smiles.
However, for some reason, I felt a black aura coming from her and it took my breath away.
Judging from the color of her aura, she seems angry, but did I do something?
I'm a little scared...

"No. They're just the pair for this test. Also, I haven't eaten Arisu and the others yet either, okay?"
Actually, I did, but I'm not going to give an honest answer.
"That's a lie. I'm sitting next to Hiyori in the classroom."

Moreover, it's obvious that this guy doesn't think there's anything wrong with it.
The way he was grinning from now on was really annoying.
"...Sigh. Well, that's fine. Even if I try more, I won't be able to break your stupid face, so I'm going home today... but I'll kill you someday."
"I'm looking forward to it."
Ryuen looks like he's having fun, but I'll definitely make you cry!
"Also, Hikigaya. I'll be messing around with D-class in the near future, so I'd appreciate it if you had a chance."
After saying that, Ryuen closes the door, but are you going to mess with us? What are you going to do?
Of course, messing with other classes is one of their tactics, but in the case of Ryuen, there is a high possibility that they will mess with you in a very malicious way, so you can't let your guard down.
For now, let's just pray that I have no connection.
With that in mind, I use the elevator to return to my room. The three people in the room all look at me at the same time.
"Welcome back Hachiman. Did you hit Ryuen?"
"Unfortunately, everything was prevented, so it's time for the next time. For now, take a bath and rest."
That's the answer to Masumi's question. I was already mentally exhausted from being overwhelmed by the black aura emitted by Hiyori and the others and attacking Ryuen's room.
"Let's go then."
When I start preparing for the bath, the three of them also start preparing for the bath, and when I head to the changing room, the three of them also head to the changing room.
Then, when I took off all my clothes and entered the bathroom, the three of them also entered the bathroom a moment later.
This has happened all the time, so I don't really have any doubts about it...
"...Why are you guys hugging me?"
Today, for some reason, as soon as I entered the bathroom, all three of them hugged me at once.
I can feel the softness of the three people's bodies, and I understand that my rationality is inevitably weakened.
"It's a simple story. While Hachiman-kun went to Ryuen-kun's place earlier, we decided to stop him from being interested in girls other than us."
"I don't want to have more rivals."
"That's why I'm going to attack every day from now on..."
The three of them tightened their grip on me with captivating expressions on their faces, and as a result my rationality was further weakened...
"Please do as you please, Hachiman.''
At the end of those words, something inside me exploded.
Before I knew it, it was morning, and the four of us were intertwined in bed, completely unclothed.
_______________
"Then I'll end HR."
After Chabashira-sensei says that and leaves the classroom, I quickly head towards the library.
Last time, as a result of creating a problem at a cafe, I shared a table with Matsushita and was misunderstood by Hiyori and the others.
However, in a library, there would be no such misunderstanding. Private conversation is strictly prohibited, and it's crowded at this time of year, so it's not uncommon to find yourself face-to-face with people you don't know.
Then, I sit down in a comfortable seat, open my computer, and start writing questions.
I made about 150 questions yesterday, but I would like to make 300 questions today, 400 questions by tomorrow, and receive 200,000 points from Horikita.
I was working on problems while alternating between looking at the red book I had brought with me and my computer when I was tapped on the shoulder.
When I looked up, I saw Horikita and Ayanokoji, red dot candidates like Ike, Yamauchi, and Sato, and even C class students like Ichinose.
Ichinose?! Why?
"W-what do you want? If you want to create problems, wait until tomorrow. I'll finish creating the problems by tomorrow."
I was so startled, my speech got worse.
"No, I'm going to study jointly with Ichinose-san and the others, so I want you to go to the corner of the seat, not the middle."
Got it.
Where I'm sitting is in the center of the seat. It would be a nuisance to the members of the study group. I forgot about that.
"Okay. Wait a minute."
“Thank you…or rather, you said you would finish making the questions by tomorrow, but how many questions have you made so far?”
“When you start talking to me, there are 165 questions.”
"You made that much. I want you to seriously contribute to the class on a regular basis."
"I'll contribute during the exam."
Or rather, there are people who are even more powerful than me, right?
Like Koenji, and Ayanokoji next to Horikita, who sighs.
"Huh? Is Hikigaya-kun creating all the D-class problems?"
I stared at Ichinose's curious face for a moment, and gulped slightly, thinking about a proper answer.
"No. What I'm creating is modern Japanese and classics. The reason I'm creating extra questions is to prevent information leaks, and if you're prepared, you won't have to worry."
When I answered that to Ichinose's question, she looked at me with surprise.
"……What?"
"Well, I apologize if I offended you, but I didn't think Hikigaya-kun would help the class. I thought he would just focus on his studies and not get involved in anything else."
"Well, if you know my personality, you'd think so. But I simply signed a good contract and was offered a bonus, so I just accepted it."
"Ah, it's just a stepping stone to accumulate 20 million points. You're amazing as always."
"Really? Aren't you also preparing to save 20 million yen?"
Sakayanagi and Ryuen are also creating funding sources. Ichinose may also be thinking about saving 20 million yen, but even if she isn't, she is definitely preparing financial sources.
"I'm looking for ways to earn points, but I have no intention of moving up to A class individually. I want to move up to A class together with everyone in the class."
She said the thing! It's dangerous to get involved with her any further than this.
And It doesn't look like she's lying.
But would you like to try out the strength of this green tea a little?
"Huh... So, if Arisu were to invite you to come to A-Class because she'll lend you 20 million yen'' in order to increase the number of promising talent in A-Class, would you turn her down?”
Those words made the people around her make a fuss, but I ignored them and looked at Ichinose warily, who nodded without hesitation.
"Of course. I decided to go up to class A with everyone else, and I want to go up with everyone."
“Even if you keep losing in the future, would you mind?”
"Of course"
This girl is serious about what she says.
There are many hypocrites in this world who only speak, but this one is different.
Even if Arisu really tried to hand over 20 million yen, she probably wouldn't accept it.
From my point of view, Ichinose's idea is to get along with everyone in the class and do their best, which is the same idea as Hayama.
But I'm not going to deny that.
I don't deny that I don't like the idea of everyone getting along, but unlike Hayama, Ichinose doesn't think of helping the big boy and abandoning the small boy if he's in a pinch, and she'll do his best without abandoning the small boy no matter what the situation is.
No wonder she brainwashed the students in her class into becoming small little angels.
Phew...
I'm really glad that I wasn't assigned to Ichinose's class.
"I see. Sorry for asking such a stupid question."
"Nyahaha. There's no need to worry about it. But can I also ask Hikigaya-kun a question?"
"It's fine. I don't know if I'll answer though."
"Of course I won't force you. I know Hikigaya-kun is trying to save 20 million, but if Hikigaya-kun saves 20 million, the class he belongs to will be A. So, there's a chance that you will join my class, right?"
Forehead? Is that the question...
Did she saw through my thoughts? and realised why I'm keeping my distance from her?
Is Ichinose targeting me?! I broke out in a cold sweat.
Fuck!
"M-my goal is to go to the same class as Arisu. I promised her first." I replied, slightly scared of being attacked by dark Ichinose.
By the way, Hiyori also asked me to come to her class, but I declined. It's not bad in Hiyori's class, but I am not confident that I can get along well with Ryuen, and Arisu invited me out first.
If I end up in the same class as Hiyori, I'll have no choice but to prepare another 20 million yen and pull myself out.
"Hehe. Then I'll just have to do my best to defeat Sakayanagi-san and 'change' Hikigaya-kun's mind about joining my class and reach Class A with the help of everyone!" Ichinose said, some dangerous things with a creepy smile on her face.
What do you mean by changing my mind? It's just brainwashing!
Help!
"...I asked you this before, but are you serious? Aren't you interested in getting university recommendations or getting a job?"
Horikita says this in a doubtful manner. The students who attend this school may not understand.
"I originally entered this school because I want to cut off contact with the outside world. I'm not that interested in going on to higher education or being recommended, which is what most students dream of. I think it would be nice if there was one, but I don't want to force myself to get it. That’s not what I want.”
If I hadn't gone on to this school, I would never have been able to live a successful school life because I would have gotten mixed up with two members of the service club and a bachelor.
From my point of view, I am completely satisfied as soon as I was able to enroll in this school.
“Also, you don’t have to fight between classes, you just need to study hard for the entrance exam, get a qualification, take the general entrance exam, and look for a job.”
It is well known that you cannot receive the benefits of recommended examinations or recommended employment unless you pass the A class, but if you cannot receive the benefits, you can simply take the general examination or seek employment.
For general entrance exams, there is no problem as long as you have academic ability, and even if you don't have a recommendation for a job, if you have qualifications that will help you get the job you want, companies won't treat you poorly.
Most of the students were at a loss for words after hearing my comment, and Ichinose smiled bitterly.
"Ahaha... Well, Hikigaya-kun's opinion is very valid. But then, it's the same as an outside school, and I think the teacher would definitely punish you if she heard it, right?"
Yeah. Just like my future life guidance teacher.
I guess so. If we, the students, were to accept my opinion and abandon the conflicts between classes and concentrate on studying for entrance exams and qualifications, the school would become a normal school, and in a sense, Tokyo Advanced Nurturing High School would die.
They'll definitely kick me out, if I cause a riot in the school.
"I see. However, it's virtually impossible to reverse the C and D classes of second and third years, and I'm sure there are students who have the same idea as me, right?"
Class points for 1st year are...
A class 809
B class 700
C class 650
D class 452
And, at this point, it's not like D-class doesn't have a chance.
But will the school really allow idiots like Ike, Yamauchi, Shinohara to graduate as Class A's elite students and allow them to represent ANHS in society?
Won't the school lose it's face?
No matter how much Class D has grown, the hardware of Class A and B will always be better than the lower classes?
It makes me question the school's policy a little bit?
Is it possible that the competition between classes is itself just a big farce from the school's side and lower classes are just guinea pigs to nurture upper classes!
My thoughts become quite negative, I was starting to feel depressed.
So, I stopped thinking and put my focus on the current situation.
The adult world is really dirty after all.
However, the class points for 2nd and 3rd year are certain...
2nd year class points
A class 1360
B class 876
C class 267
D class 69
3rd year class points
A class 1141
B class 815
C class 309
D class 83
It should have been.
For the second year, the A class already has a difference of nearly 500 points from the B class. Moreover, the current A class is the former B class.
In other words, even though they were in second place when they first entered the school, they were promoted to class A and now have a lead of nearly 500 points.
I think this is due to President Nagumo's ability, his ranking will not change for the second year until he graduates.
For the 3rd year, there has been no change in the ranking since enrollment, but since graduation is less than 6 months away, most likely there will be no change in the ranking.
The leader of Class A is Former President Horikita Manabu after all.
Well, anyway, I think some students have given up on the fact that the second and third year C and D classes have an absolute difference from the second-place B class, so they think it's impossible to pass the grade.
And I'm sure there are quite a few students who have the same idea as me.
If they don't, they might end up in a miserable situation after they graduate.
"Hmm... That's certainly true. Nagumo-senpai also said something about the motivation of the lower classes."
“I see, that person also had the idea of making the school a true merit-based school.”
The idea of giving a chance to an individual may be unconventional, but President Nagumo is an A-class leader.
If the school becomes what President Nagumo wants, it will give the talented students in the lower classes a chance to turn things around.
Did he also realise that the school's policy of allowing lower classes to graduate as Class A could be just a big farce from their side?
So, he's giving a chance to stronger individuals in lower classes?
In this case, it's definitely a good relief measure for students like me who have no interest in their own class.
But former President was against it, which means he believes in collective not individuals and thinks lower classes can only do best if they cooperate.
So, there's a possibility that Horikita Manabu who always followed the school rules and remains neutral did not realise about the school's real intention of using lower Classes C and D as guinea pigs?
Since it goes against his ideals and was narrow-minded that school won't do something like this?
I didn't know that the former President was a naive person.
The truth is in front of everyone, not a single Class C or Class D has ever graduated as Class A ever since the school was founded.
And I think being defective products or basic hardware being too low is not just the only reason?
I think, even the school will not allow them to graduate as Class A and could interfere in special exams by giving low CPT and high CPT depending on the situation.
Should I investigate it a little if any lower class ever comes close to A and then failed?
Forget it, I don't want to make school my enemy and kick me out.
Besides, If I were in President Nagumo's position, I'm confident that I would maintain the status quo and do my best to ensure that we remain in A class.
"Ah, Nagumo-senpai reminded me, aren't you interested in the student council? Nagumo-senpai said yesterday that he would talk to Hikigaya-kun in the near future."
"Seriously?"
"Yeah. Even though Hikigaya is in the D-class, he's one of the best in the year, and he's the perfect fit for the system I'm thinking of," he said, fully intending to recruit you".
That would be an overestimate. There are still talented players like Arisu, Ryuen, and Koenji in the first year.
I rejected Horikita Manabu earlier because of my personal reasons, and but I keep getting recruited to join the student council.
"I'm sorry, but just say I'll pass. I don't want to spend less time with Arisu and the others."
"Ahaha...I didn't think you'd refuse for that reason."
"My personal time comes first. Shouldn't you start studying soon?"
I was creating problems even while talking...
"Ah"
But Ichinose's C class students and Horikita's D class students have not even been sitting down yet, let alone spreading out their study materials.
After hearing my words, everyone tried to sit down at the same time, so I moved to the corner, just as Horikita had asked me to do, so as not to get in the way.
