"First off, I have to affirm Shiki-chan's speculation~ This school does indeed assign classes based on the students' abilities. The best is Class A, and the worst is Class D. As expected of a Class A student, Shiki-chan, to figure it out so quickly. Even the student council president, who's called the most outstanding in history, didn't manage that~"
Hoshinomiya Chie let out a light laugh, her gaze on Shikime Natsu filled with a growing sense of regret.
"Yes, this school has a 100% graduation and employment rate, but... that's only for Class A~"
"What does that mean?"
Hearing this, Kanzaki Ryuuji couldn't help but frown. He had thought it was just a battle to protect their monthly hundred thousand points, but he never expected it to involve something like this.
"It's just as it sounds. Students from other classes don't get this kind of treatment, so... the four classes are in competition~ Over the three years, we'll see if Class A can hold onto its throne, or if a lower-ranked class can achieve an overthrow. I'm really looking forward to seeing Honami-chan's class defeat Shiki-chan's."
Hoshinomiya Chie continued to explain, subconsciously making a motion as if to grasp a wine glass. Unfortunately, there was no wine here, only juice. What a shame. Why would a bunch of kids only order juice?!
A life without beer is incomplete!
"Oh, and one more thing, which is a bit of a shame for Shiki-chan's class. The points you have are called personal points. Besides those, there are also class points. Your personal points are linked to your class points at a ratio of one to one hundred. In other words, all four classes start with one thousand class points."
"As for what affects class points, Shiki-chan just mentioned it. Daily infractions will result in deductions from class points, and... things like expulsion will also cause deductions. Class points are also related to exams. You can earn class points through exams, but of course, if you fail, class points will be deducted."
"Right, if you fail an exam, you will be expelled. Please be very careful about that. Of course, for the students in Class A and Class B, it should be quite easy."
Hoshinomiya Chie's tone was incredibly relaxed, and she wore a smile as she explained all this. For students, hearing the word 'expulsion' should be a rather heavy blow, right?
This woman really is quite malicious.
"Shiki-chan, you really are kind. If you hadn't brought this up, the gap between Class A and Class B would have probably widened quite a bit. It's only the first day of school, yet you've already made a move. You've really helped Class B a great deal~"
Hoshinomiya Chie formed a pyramid with her hands, looking at Shikime Natsu with a smile.
"It's because I think the people in Class B are very nice. That's why I chose Class B as my trading partner."
Shikime Natsu smiled as he spoke, ignoring Hoshinomiya Chie's catty remarks.
"Is that so? When you were clearly planning to take the information from a teacher and sell it to the other two classes, right?"
Hoshinomiya Chie called out Shikime Natsu without any politeness.
"Hoshinomiya-sensei, you really are clever."
Shikime Natsu chose not to hide it, since that was exactly what he planned to do.
"As a member of Class A, shouldn't you be quite troubled by the fact that the gap isn't widening?"
A flash of annoyance appeared in Hoshinomiya Chie's eyes. To think she was being called clever by a kid a dozen years her junior. This guy's personality really was awful.
"That's not something Hoshinomiya-sensei needs to worry about. What I want to know is, is this all the information that was originally worth two million points?"
Shikime Natsu continued. Although it wasn't his money being spent, the amount of information was just too little, wasn't it?
"Oh, one more thing. You can transfer classes by spending twenty million personal points. Of course, if you're expelled because of an exam, you can also spend twenty million personal points and three hundred class points to have that punishment rescinded."
Hoshinomiya Chie added.
"I see, I understand now."
After hearing this, Ichinose Honami secretly made a decision in her heart: she had to get everyone in her class promoted to Class A together. It was only the first day of school, and the gap between Class A and Class B hadn't widened too much. Although she felt a little sorry for Shikime Natsu, Class B would also take the necessary actions.
"Then... the deal is concluded."
Shikime Natsu nodded. It was a good thing he didn't use his own class's points, or he would have really taken a huge loss. And this school... how dare they price so little information at two million?
It was also a good thing he chose Class B. Since Hoshinomiya Chie said the school assigned classes based on student ability, then even without his reminder, the people in Class B probably wouldn't have lost too many class points.
So this deal wasn't a loss.
"Can we exchange contact information?"
Amikura Mako stood up, holding her phone, watching Shikime Natsu cautiously.
"Of course."
Shikime Natsu smiled and nodded. He never minded having too many contacts of beautiful girls.
"Okay!"
Amikura Mako happily added Shikime Natsu's contact information.
"Count me in."
Kanzaki Ryuuji suddenly spoke up. Ichinose Honami and Amikura Mako had both added him; if he didn't, it would seem a bit unsociable. Of course, the main reason was that Kanzaki Ryuuji felt there would definitely be more opportunities to cooperate with Shikime Natsu in the future.
"Okay."
Shikime Natsu nodded. Even though it was a boy, he didn't mind. It's not like he had any ill intentions toward boys.
"I want to add Shiki-chan's contact info too."
Hoshinomiya Chie sidled up, shaking the phone in her hand.
"Being able to add such a beautiful teacher's contact info, isn't Shiki-chan's heart fluttering?"
"If Shiki-chan is willing to buy me a drink, I'm always available~"
As she spoke, Hoshinomiya Chie's tone was extremely suggestive, as if inviting her for a drink would lead to something outrageous.
Is this really something a teacher should be doing?
"Hoshinomiya-sensei, please don't tease Shikime-san."
Amikura Mako gave a forced laugh. Her homeroom teacher really seemed quite unreliable at times.
"I wasn't lying. Shiki-chan is very handsome. If I were ten years younger, I would definitely confess to Shiki-chan. But well~ never mind."
Hoshinomiya Chie cast a meaningful glance at Amikura Mako, causing Amikura Mako's porcelain-white face to blush crimson.
"Well then, I'll be taking my leave. The club activity promotion should still be going on. Excuse me."
Shikime Natsu stood up and checked the time on his phone. Hmm... Sakayanagi Arisu hadn't arrived at Keyaki Mall either, which was a relief.
"Okay, bye-bye!"
The group bid farewell to Shikime Natsu.
Just as Shikime Natsu was about to head straight back to the dorms, his phone rang. It was a message from Hoshinomiya Chie. He had only just left, and she was already messaging him?
Shikime Natsu thought back for a moment. He had only brought his phone; his school bag and everything else were not with him. He shouldn't have forgotten anything.
So... what did she want from him?
