At the beginning of the month, everyone who had been worried finally welcomed the moment their class results were announced.
They felt no tension or fear, only joy and a little bit of pride. The relief supplies from the government were here.
Although they didn't know if their class had reached Class A, the 96,000 points that the school deposited into their phones at exactly midnight couldn't be faked.
Compared to the 100,000 points the school gave them when they enrolled, their performance was good, right? Maybe? Possibly?
Since they didn't know the highest score for the first class assessment, they were currently caught between hope and happiness. They hoped their class would rise to Class A, and they were happy they had saved the points that were almost lost.
Soon after, Chie Hoshinomiya, carrying an English textbook, walked into the classroom with a smile.
Today, Hoshinomiya-sensei was, for once, not wearing cute clothes. She wore a black blazer over a white shirt, black pants, and black high heels, which was a refreshing change.
Hoshinomiya noticed that the students were not as noisy as before; they quieted down without her having to clear her throat. She knew exactly why.
"Cough, cough..." She put the textbook on the desk, cupped her hand over her mouth, and habitually coughed.
After coughing, Hoshinomiya just stood on the stage, staring blankly. She didn't say anything, forcing the students to stare back at her with eager eyes.
Hehe, just having fun. It's fun, I love it, I'll do it again next time.
The students understood that Hoshinomiya-sensei was messing with them. They all felt an urge to attack their homeroom teacher, something they had never felt before. How terrible!
Hoshinomiya-sensei, knowing her limits, sensed the hostility overflowing from the students' eyes. She stopped just in time, no longer teasing them. She wrote the assessment scores for the four first-year classes on the blackboard.
First Year Class A: 940
First Year Class B: 960
First Year Class C: 360
First Year Class D: 0
The class points were transparent for every grade. This was the school's small trick to encourage the bottom three classes to climb up and make Class A feel a sense of crisis due to the narrow point difference.
"Congratulations, everyone. We are now..." Hoshinomiya drew out the suspense before announcing the proud result: "Class A!"
Finally, having the answer they wanted, everyone in Class B was thrilled, but they only showed excitement on their faces.
Ren's strict demands this past month had drilled the most basic student requirements into their minds. And right now, it was class time!
Hoshinomiya-sensei was very satisfied with their current expressions and behavior and decided to reward them.
"I've decided to change this lesson into free time. You can talk among yourselves, but keep your voices down so you don't disturb the other classes."
"Also, please don't leave your seats."
After the announcement, Hoshinomiya found a seat and sat down, signaling them to ignore her.
To Hoshinomiya-sensei's surprise, everyone in Class B instinctively looked back at the seat by the window, waiting for Ren's confirmation of the teacher's order.
"Why are you looking at me? The homeroom teacher is Hoshinomiya-sensei, and the class leader is Honami. Look at them." Ren said with an amused glare.
It seemed Class B wasn't hopeless. Ren was pleased with their performance in the first month, which had allowed them to jump straight to Class A.
"Young Master Katsuragi~" Kanzaki, his deskmate, didn't have such reservations. He grinned, leaning towards Ren. He was clearly in a great mood.
Bang!!! Kanzaki was pushed back by Ren's punch.
The others were not as thick-skinned as Kanzaki and turned their gaze to Honami.
Hearing Ren's words, Honami rubbed her forehead, annoyed. Ren-kun really doesn't want to manage the class. She had to step up.
Smiling gently at everyone, Honami repeated Hoshinomiya-sensei's order for free activity.
With the confirmed approval, the students finally started to release their excitement.
"Oh yeah! We're Class A! This is great!"
"The prediction was perfect. Katsuragi-kun and Ichinose-san are incredible."
"Kobashi, want to go shopping after school?"
"Of course! And our cutest Hoshinomiya-sensei, too!" ×N
Seeing Hoshinomiya-sensei's small, pouting face because they only praised Ren and Honami, everyone quickly praised her too.
"Oh, no, no, I didn't do anything. It's all your hard work," Hoshinomiya replied, covering her mouth and laughing after receiving the desired compliments.
(Received: 2,246,400 points)
Noticing the 39 identical receipts on his phone, Ren squinted and tapped his desk with a rhythmic tap, tap sound. Once everyone's attention was on him, he spoke.
"You all did very well this time. I've decided to take ten percent of the ransom and set it aside as a class fund for future parties, to be managed by Class Leader Ichinose."
(Transferred: 224,640 points)
After transferring the fund to Honami in front of the class, Ren rested his head on the desk and closed his eyes, signaling them to ignore him.
After the success of the betting scheme, Ren would never be short on points. However, he couldn't just return the entire ransom.
If he told everyone he wouldn't charge them the ransom anymore, most of them would feel abandoned and worry that he was giving up on them. Returning a portion was acceptable, but completely returning it was pointless and offered him no benefit.
It was better this way: he told everyone that their excellent performance was the reason he gave them ten percent as a reward. This way, everyone felt they had earned the fund themselves.
And with the class fund as bait, they would only work harder in the future.
The most critical point was...
Honami, having received the transfer, instantly understood Ren's intentions. She invited everyone, "To celebrate our class moving up to Class A, let's all go out to eat after school! We'll use the class fund that Young Master Katsuragi gave us."
"Hoshinomiya-sensei, you must join us."
"Of course I will, Honami~" Hoshinomiya-sensei happily accepted.
The Class B students became even more excited.
"Long live Young Master Katsuragi! Long live Class Leader Ichinose!"
"Woohoo!!!"
"Long live!!!"
With each shout of "Long live," Class Leader Honami's authority in Class B grew stronger.
Ren, pretending to sleep at his desk, smiled slightly.
Little Honami has truly grown up.
