Kanji Ike hesitated for a moment, but ultimately didn't say anything more.
There were forty people in the class; even if Haruki Yamauchi scored relatively lower, it didn't really matter.
"He really has no sense of crisis at all."
"Even with the answers, and after being urged to study by Hirata for so long..."
Watching the retreating figures of Haruki Yamauchi and Kanji Ike, Suzune Horikita commented indifferently, "He truly is a pile of useless mud that cannot be plastered onto a wall. It seems it would be better to just have him expelled."
"Natsuki, did you also anticipate the fact that Yamauchi wouldn't put any heart into the exam at all?"
The voices of Haruki Yamauchi and Kanji Ike chatting were not exactly quiet.
Suzune Horikita was not far from their position, so naturally, she heard the content of their conversation.
Originally, Horikita had thought that with the answers prepared in advance, Haruki Yamauchi would at least try to score a higher grade no matter what. Even if he didn't take what Subaru had said before seriously, a higher score would mean more class points.
It was a complete win-win situation.
But the result? Haruki Yamauchi actually only ensured his score was enough to pass. He would rather sleep on his desk for the remaining time than solve one extra problem.
The moment she thought about how she had specially set aside time to tutor this kind of guy a while ago, Horikita felt it was extremely unworthy. It would be better for this kind of person to drop out quickly.
He had no sense of collective consciousness, nor did his talent show in any way... In the future, there was a high probability he would only drag the class down.
Horikita did not want to graduate from Class A carrying Haruki Yamauchi.
"Horikita-san."
"Whether Yamauchi-kun puts his heart into the exam or not will not affect my subsequent actions."
Subaru looked at Suzune Horikita and simply smiled.
However, Haruki Yamauchi's behavior of just casually taking the test did save Subaru a lot of trouble. After using the six million personal points on him to expel Yamauchi, there would probably still be quite a lot left.
And there were also the 770,000 personal points from Arisu Sakayanagi...
For a long time in the future, Subaru wouldn't need to worry about personal expenses.
At the same time, before Horikita could say anything more, a series of message notifications came from Subaru's student terminal.
Ding!
[Your personal points balance has received 770,000.00.]
Arisu Sakayanagi: [Ara, Yamauchi-kun is truly regrettable.]
Arisu Sakayanagi: [I thought Yamauchi-kun would put in a little more effort, and then cause you a bit more trouble, Natsuki-kun.]
Following the score estimation activities in Year 1, Class D, Arisu Sakayanagi's friends in Class D naturally told her the rough intelligence—that Haruki Yamauchi's score was not high.
Originally, the average score of Year 1, Class D was going to be very high. With Haruki Yamauchi scoring just enough to pass—whether it was sixty or fifty points—he would be easily expelled by Subaru using personal points.
There was no longer any need to continue the stalemate.
Sakayanagi estimated that Subaru could deduct fifteen points from Yamauchi. The estimated average for Year 1, Class D was 94, so the passing grade would be 47.
Haruki Yamauchi's estimated score of 60 was already a face-saving claim.
There was a high probability it was just over fifty points. He had absolutely no room to resist.
Subaru: [It seems Sakayanagi-san was prepared to transfer the personal points to me from the very beginning?]
Arisu Sakayanagi: [Ma~ Just a little bit~]
Arisu Sakayanagi: [After all, Natsuki-kun has so many personal points on him. School has barely been open for two months; it's hard for anyone to resist Natsuki-kun's offensive~~~]
Arisu Sakayanagi: [It's just that Yamauchi-kun's performance is really a bit disappointing~]
While sending messages to Subaru, a look of slight dissatisfaction appeared on Arisu Sakayanagi's face.
Haruki Yamauchi's stupidity exceeded Sakayanagi's imagination.
Even Sakayanagi hadn't expected that Yamauchi would dare to operate like this, fully knowing that Subaru had a lot of personal points, that personal points could do anything in this school, and that Subaru had publicly stated he wanted to expel him.
It was truly stupid to the point of being somewhat pitiful.
"However, this is fine too."
"With Yamauchi-kun being so naive, being expelled early is also a good thing."
Year 1, Class A.
Putting away the student terminal on her person, Arisu Sakayanagi propped herself up with her cane and stood. She sighed slightly and said, "This academy is still too cruel for Yamauchi-kun..."
"You just transferred the 770,000 personal points like that?"
Masumi Kamuro, watching Sakayanagi's operation from not far away, was somewhat speechless.
In Kamuro's view, the results hadn't even come out yet. At the very least, she should have waited until Subaru actually expelled Haruki Yamauchi before doing these things.
What if the personal points Subaru used to expel Yamauchi weren't quite enough, and he used these 770,000 points to deal the final, fatal blow to Yamauchi? What then?
"There is no longer any suspense about the result, Little Masumi~"
"How about we go to that tea shop we visited last time for some afternoon tea later?"
Sakayanagi looked at Masumi Kamuro with a beaming smile.
"You still have points on you?"
Hearing Sakayanagi's invitation, Kamuro was slightly stunned. "Didn't you just transfer all the points you had? Do you have any remaining points?"
"If not, let's forget it. consumption at that shop is too expensive."
"Ara~"
"So in Little Masumi's eyes, am I already a pauper?"
Upon hearing Kamuro's words, Sakayanagi covered her mouth and chuckled lightly. She took out her student terminal again and showed it to Kamuro.
210,000.00
"Because I felt I was going to lose the bet with Natsuki-kun this time, I conveniently earned a little extra income on the side~"
"How about it, Little Masumi? Shall we go?"
"Hmph, I don't care."
Kamuro snorted lightly.
May 25th, Monday.
Year 1, Class D. Everyone had a look of anticipation for today's homeroom.
At this moment, the blackboard in the classroom was already filled with the class rankings for each subject. Basically, everyone's scores were about the same as estimated; there were no significant changes.
Haruki Yamauchi's results were also about the same as he had said himself. All six subjects fluctuated between 50 and 60 points. Just as he had said before, once he felt the score was about enough, he went straight to sleep.
He had absolutely no intention of earning a single extra class point for the class.
"Everyone performed very well."
"Consider it a small benefit given by the school. The average score for this midterm exam is 94 points."
Looking at the crowd in Year 1, Class D, Sae Chabashira had no superfluous expression on her face as she spoke indifferently, "On the first of next month, the class points will increase by 94, and 9,400 personal points will be deposited into your accounts."
Because no one had failed, Chabashira didn't even prepare to explain to the people in Class D that the passing line was half of the average score.
As Chabashira's voice fell, the originally somewhat quiet class naturally erupted into cheers.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the prospect of 9,400 personal points coming in next month.
If they saved a little, 9,400 personal points wasn't unlivable. At least compared to May, it would be much better. Plus, there would be opportunities to obtain class points in the future. The future was promising!
"Nine thousand four hundred personal points..."
"Although it's not a lot, it should be enough to use."
Haruki Yamauchi leaned back in his chair and said with a smile to Kanji Ike behind him, "Ike, how do you plan to arrange this nine thousand four hundred?"
"I plan to buy two games for my console. I've beaten all the games I bought before, and I didn't have money to buy new ones."
"Me? I haven't decided yet."
Hearing Yamauchi's words, Kanji Ike thought for a moment and said, "Although games are nice, after eating the mountain vegetable set meal for a month, I've decided to eat something good once the points arrive."
"I think the eel rice bowl would be pretty good."
"Ike! You have to use the nine thousand four hundred personal points where it counts!"
Hearing Ike's plan, Yamauchi quickly tried to stop him. "Don't you have a game console too?"
"Eating the mountain vegetable set meal is just whatever once you get used to it. We can buy different games and swap to play them."
The dagger was revealed.
Yamauchi wanted Ike to buy games with him. The games bought with nine thousand four hundred personal points might not be enough to play, but if doubled, it would be very good.
"Huh?"
"I think the previous games are still playable..."
Ike was a bit unwilling.
If he spent the nine thousand four hundred personal points on games, there wouldn't be much left. He wanted to reward his stomach more.
Moreover, the games bought before were quite fun and could still be played for a long time.
Just as everyone in Year 1, Class D was discussing enthusiastically, Subaru smiled and said, "Chabashira-sensei, I have a question. What is the passing score line for our class this time?"
Subaru's voice caused the entire Year 1, Class D to become somewhat quiet.
No one had forgotten Subaru's previous deeds, nor the fact that he had once threatened to have Haruki Yamauchi expelled.
Haruki Yamauchi, who originally had a relaxed smile on his face, also subconsciously became somewhat nervous.
Yamauchi still knew that Subaru had a lot of personal points on him.
"Half of the class average. 47."
Sae Chabashira continued to maintain her expression, answering meticulously.
With Chabashira's answer, the class, which had quieted down because of Subaru, became somewhat noisy again.
"47?"
"This is different from the score last time!"
Ken Sudo revealed a stunned expression.
Because his English score was the worst, only 49 points.
Just a little bit more, and he would have been expelled for failing. The thought of this made Sudo feel a wave of lingering fear.
He became even more grateful to Yosuke Hirata.
"The average score last time was relatively low, so the passing score line was also relatively low."
"This time, you all scored basically very high, so the passing score line has also become higher."
Looking at the buzzing class, Sae Chabashira explained.
If they didn't ask, Chabashira would pretend nothing happened. If they asked, then Chabashira would explain.
"Sudo!"
"You really have to thank me properly!"
"If I hadn't dragged down the average, you might have actually been expelled!"
Hearing Chabashira's words, Haruki Yamauchi immediately turned around and gloated triumphantly to Ken Sudo in the back row.
"I know, I know!"
"At worst, I'll treat you to a drink next month."
Looking at the triumphant Yamauchi, Ken Sudo was somewhat speechless.
At the same time, he secretly planned to treat Yosuke Hirata to a good meal next month. If not for Hirata's persistent tutoring, Sudo knew very well that English was his weak point.
Even with the test questions, there was a high probability he wouldn't have passed.
"Chabashira-sensei said that in this school, personal points can buy anything, right?"
Ignoring the commotion on Yamauchi's side, Subaru looked at Sae Chabashira and continued to ask with a smile.
With this inquiry from Subaru, if the others in Year 1, Class D still didn't know what Subaru meant, they would truly be blind.
"Natsuki-kun!"
The first one who couldn't help but stand up was Yosuke Hirata.
Looking at Subaru, Hirata tried to persuade him with an anxious face, "Wait a moment, Natsuki-kun... please consider it again!"
"Yamauchi-kun has many problems. He speaks without thinking and is sometimes very selfish. In this exam... he didn't even consider the class a little bit more."
Hirata's voice was trembling slightly, but he tried hard to keep it clear.
"I know all these things. I have also criticized him many times, and even... even used some forceful methods to make him study."
Saying this, Hirata took a deep breath, looked around, and looked at everyone in the class.
"But, Natsuki-kun, what a great destiny it is for everyone to be assigned to the same class!"
"We came here from all over the country, from strangers to acquaintances, attending class together, facing difficulties together... Are we going to use such an extreme method as 'expulsion' just because of some shortcomings and friction?"
"Hirata-kun, class is still in session. Please sit down."
Sae Chabashira looked at the somewhat emotional Yosuke Hirata, feeling a bit dazed.
The scene before her eyes was too familiar, familiar to the point that Chabashira felt some heartache. Thirteen years ago, it was also like this...
At that time, she herself had argued strongly, asking everyone not to expel the class leader...
"Yes..."
Hirata hesitated for a moment but still sat down, his whole person looking somewhat dejected.
"Anything can be bought."
Calming her mood slightly, Sae Chabashira looked at Subaru and said indifferently:
"Including having a person expelled."
"As long as you have enough personal points, you can consume these personal points to forcibly expel someone."
"It is not just limited to a certain class, but even... a certain grade."
"Okay, I understand."
Subaru looked at Sae Chabashira and smiled gently, saying, "I want to consume my personal points to ask for student Haruki Yamauchi's expulsion, Chabashira-sensei."
