Not to mention one million personal points, even ten thousand is unlikely.
The more probable scenario is that Subaru received the so-called sincere gratitude from everyone in Year 1, Class D, and that was the end of it.
During this period, Kiyotaka not only learned about the definition of ordinary from Horikita but also gradually began to interact with other members of Year 1, Class D.
For example, the reading group organized by Hirata.
As he interacted with more people, Kiyotaka gained a deeper understanding of the overall situation in Year 1, Class D.
In summary, Kiyotaka believed that unless he truly gave it his all, the probability of Year 1, Class D becoming Class A was still extremely slim.
Especially under Horikita's leadership.
"Horikita-san, you really haven't changed at all."
Looking at Horikita, who was arguing with him so confidently, Subaru just smiled.
"All of this is just your personal speculation, Horikita-san. Who knows what the actual situation is?"
"At the very least, I don't think that sharing the information with the class would prevent any deduction in class points."
"Who knows, maybe the final class points would still be zero."
Strictly speaking, Subaru had considered selling the information to his own class president first.
If Year 1, Class D could truly unite, then selling the information to his own class would be the optimal solution.
At that time, Subaru would not only gain one million personal points but also a stable monthly income of personal points, which would definitely be more worthwhile than selling to another class.
Unfortunately, Year 1, Class D simply couldn't come up with one million personal points.
It wasn't even a question of whether they could come up with the points; it was a question of whether they were willing to.
Even if they could come up with the personal points, not many people would agree to it.
"Natsuki BOY."
"You are more outstanding than I imagined."
Before Horikita could say anything more, Rokusuke Koenji, who had been quietly grooming himself, suddenly spoke.
"I think you are very good."
"Even if you don't graduate from Class A, it doesn't matter. You can come work at my Koenji Group."
"I will give you the opportunity to rise and fully showcase your talents."
"You will stand at the pinnacle of the Koenji Group and become my right-hand man."
Koenji extended an olive branch to Subaru.
In Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing High School, students could roughly be divided into two classes.
One consisted of the majority, the cattle class, which, though further categorized into elite cattle and waste cattle, remained fundamentally just that: cattle.
Whether it was Honami Ichinose from Year 1, Class B, Horikita, or her admired brother, Manabu Horikita, they all belonged to the cattle class, with family backgrounds ranging from ordinary to slightly wealthy to poor.
These differences were not significant; they all belonged to the same class.
The other class was similar to Koenji's financial elite.
Most others came to this academy to learn how to become qualified cattle, while those like Koenji came to further understand how to better manage and control cattle.
Arisu Sakayanagi from Year 1, Class A, and Ryuuji Kanzaki from Year 1, Class B were roughly of this class.
Now, Koenji had taken a liking to Subaru.
He believed that Subaru had enough talent and did not need further observation; he could directly make a move to recruit him.
Yesterday, Koenji, who usually didn't care about the class situation, suddenly spoke up. Aside from Yamauchi's blanket criticism including him, there was also a significant reason for taking a liking to Subaru.
Helping Subaru out of trouble was Koenji's way of expressing his goodwill.
As Koenji's words fell, the originally somewhat noisy atmosphere, with many people showing signs of restlessness, suddenly became quiet.
Especially Yamauchi, who looked at Koenji with some incomprehension.
Originally, when he learned about the content of the anonymous post, Yamauchi was somewhat excited. Yesterday, it had been a personal conflict between himself and Subaru, but today, with this post, it could directly escalate to the class level.
Just now, although Horikita's words were a bit harsh, it couldn't be denied that the vast majority of Year 1, Class D truly thought this way. They really believed that Subaru had sold out the collective interests of their class for personal gain.
Originally, Yamauchi could no longer restrain his restless heart and wanted to launch another charge against Subaru.
Now, with Koenji's words, it was like a bucket of ice water, completely extinguishing the thoughts in Yamauchi's heart.
After all, many people were very clear about why they came to this academy to study.
There was no problem with the daily life in this academy being wonderful, and everyone enjoyed it, but fundamentally, the reason most people were willing to come here was the academy's promise.
The promise that graduates of this academy could gain better development prospects.
They could truly become elites in Japanese society, or even elites among elites. This was why most people were moved to enroll.
As for the initial 100,000 personal points, it could only be considered an extra surprise.
Although this surprise was huge.
And now, Koenji's promise was even more valuable than simply graduating from Class A.
Because normally, graduating from Class A with better development prospects in this academy still required time and starting from the grassroots.
If luck wasn't good, it would just be an ordinary elite, or even worse.
But Koenji's promise was different. The pinnacle of the Koenji Group was something one wouldn't dare to dream of.
Now, Koenji, the future heir of the Koenji financial elite, had spoken. If one simply agreed, they would stand at the pinnacle of the Koenji Group...
Just thinking about it, the jealousy in Yamauchi's eyes almost overflowed.
"Huh?"
"Koenji-san actually thinks so highly of me."
Hearing Koenji's words, Subaru showed a gentle smile and said, "If everything can develop according to my expected goals, then standing at the pinnacle of the Koenji Group isn't a bad idea."
"I am very willing to become Koenji-san's right-hand man."
If Subaru could find his true self, then he, who was gradually becoming familiar with modern society, wouldn't mind completely stabilizing himself.
Accepting Koenji's recruitment and becoming his right-hand man was something Subaru could completely accept.
As long as Subaru could have his anchor point.
As he spoke, Subaru glanced at Kikyo Kushida, who was sitting in the second row.
In the future, if he could completely let go of his burdens and always be his true self—whether with Kikyo Kushida or Hiyori Shiina—as long as one of them truly became Subaru's 'genuine article,' then he could settle down.
"Hehehe."
"Natsuki boy, then I look forward to your follow-up."
Not refusing meant agreeing.
Koenji smiled and didn't say anything more. He didn't care about the shocked gazes of the other students around him and continued to groom his nails.
Looking at himself in the small mirror, he sighed at his own perfection.
Koenji's series of speeches and promises not only completely deflated the brewing emotions in Year 1, Class D but also silenced Horikita, who had been continuing to persuade Subaru.
After all, Horikita was also very clear about why she came to this academy.
Apart from her brother, Manabu, also being in this academy, the academy's promise was also what Horikita valued.
Now, Subaru had already received Koenji's promise and had cleared the game in the second month of school.
Then what else could be said?
Subaru had his personal points.
He had also received Koenji's promise for future prospects.
Subaru already had everything. How could she persuade him in any way?
For a moment, Horikita also fell into self-doubt.
"Even so, you can't sell out the class's interests, right?"
Yamauchi really couldn't hold back anymore.
Originally, he still had some scruples about Koenji's identity, but Yamauchi himself felt that he might not even be able to pass this month's midterm exam. Expulsion, or something similar, could almost be said to be a certainty.
In addition, the girl he admired, Kikyo Kushida, and Subaru's increasingly intimate address, as well as Subaru's now visible prospects, all made the jealousy in Yamauchi's heart burn wildly.
Even though he already had hundreds of thousands of personal points, he wasn't even willing to lend me a mere three thousand personal points.
Even if I am very likely to face the outcome of expulsion in this midterm exam, so what?
It's just a mere three thousand points. Are you, Subaru, lacking this little bit?
My future is dark and bleak, while Subaru's future is bright and promising. This almost made Yamauchi depressed and jealous to the point of vomiting blood.
Under the mentality of smashing the jar, Yamauchi no longer had any scruples and directly said to Subaru, "If you had shared the information with everyone, our class points would definitely not have been deducted."
"Now, not only have you sold out the class's information, but you are also using the personal points obtained from selling out the class to eat and drink lavishly."
"I really can't understand."
There wasn't much difference from yesterday's routine.
Yamauchi still tried his best to hide his personal grudge with Subaru and tried to involve Year 1, Class D as a collective, using the power of the collective to pressure and bully him.
"It's useless."
"If Koenji hadn't said those words just now, maybe it could have set a rhythm."
"Now, apart from putting yourself in a more awkward position, there is no other effect."
Kiyotaka coldly watched the emotionally charged Yamauchi.
As Yamauchi's 'friend,' Kiyotaka was also very clear about what he was thinking.
It was nothing more than that he wasn't doing well, so he didn't want Subaru to do well either.
But unfortunately, after Koenji's words, most of Year 1, Class D suddenly realized one thing: Subaru had nothing to worry about anymore.
Huge amounts of personal points that could be spent freely, a bright future.
Subaru already had everything.
At this time, continuing to have conflicts with Subaru was an extremely unwise behavior. He had always been a very self-centered and solitary figure in Year 1, Class D.
Apart from occasionally interacting with Horikita beside him, he almost had no friends.
Looking at it this way, Subaru, who had no worries at all, was simply an invincible person.
However, no one stopped Yamauchi from speaking, including Koenji. In fact, Koenji was even somewhat interested in watching Subaru, wanting to see how he, as someone Koenji had taken a liking to, would handle Yamauchi's problem.
The next three years were Koenji's observation period.
The promise was just a promise, but as long as Subaru's performance was not satisfactory, Koenji could withdraw his promise.
"Yamauchi-kun, it's really sad."
Looking at Yamauchi, who was performing a one-man show, Subaru helplessly smiled and said, "Haven't you realized it yet?"
"From the beginning, I didn't care about the things you said, Yamauchi-kun."
"And completely offending me is not a wise choice, Yamauchi-kun."
There were too many surveillance cameras in the school.
And even in the few places without surveillance, fighting was okay, but murder was still not feasible.
So, Subaru, who had killed Yamauchi seven or eight times last time, had already realized the limitations of modern society. Or rather, after having expectations for Kikyo Kushida and Hiyori Shiina, he was no longer willing to put himself in a deadlock.
"This academy is a place that values strength above all else."
"And the amount of personal points basically symbolizes a person's strength."
"Now, I, who have roughly one million personal points, am undoubtedly the strongest in the class."
Subaru gently explained the school's rules to Yamauchi.
At least, he needed to make Yamauchi understand one thing to truly calm him down.
"So what?"
Yamauchi's face showed a carefree expression.
"If Yamauchi-kun studies hard now, I think there is still a possibility of passing."
"But if Yamauchi-kun really puts most of his energy on me, the result is really unpredictable."
"And..."
"Yamauchi-kun, in this academy, personal points can buy anything..."
Subaru looked at Yamauchi's wildly changing face and lightly smiled, "Do you think... I can spend some points to make Yamauchi-kun drop out?"
