People at the practical education center only want to drop out.

Although Kushida wants to make friends with everyone, not everyone actually likes the "little angel." There are always people who aren't drawn to Kushida's friendliness, especially girls.

③12814139

But Ichinose is different; almost no one can resist her charm, not even girls...

To be honest, Bai Lan always felt that the way a certain girl next to Ichinose looked at Ichinose was a little strange.

In short.

Ichinose's is bigger.

Going deeper into Kushida.

The two individuals' intelligence complemented each other and corroborated each other.

After some consideration, Bai Lan cut to the chase and said to Ichinose:

"If you want to repay a favor, just say so. If you want to borrow something from me, I might hesitate, but if you want to return something, I'll welcome you directly. It just so happens that I have some work problems recently, and you should be able to help me."

When Bai Lan took the initiative to open the "compensation channel", Ichinose immediately showed a happy expression.

"What do you need me to do?" Ichinose asked.

Bai Lan: "As you know, I recently became a member of the disciplinary committee."

However, the disciplinary committee is responsible for the discipline of the entire school, not just the first-year students.

I'm fairly familiar with the situation in first grade because I've specifically researched class competition, but I don't know much about the situation in second and third grade.

Therefore, I've been researching this recently. Ichinose, you have so many friends, why don't you help me investigate the situation of second and third-year students?

“No problem! I’ve got it covered.” Ichinose readily accepted.

In the days that followed, Ichinose began sending emails to Shirahara more frequently because she needed to report information.

In addition, Bai Lan also learned about the study groups that were being held in the class every day through Horikita and Kushida.

Needless to say, Kushida has many friends in her class, and she can find out who has been studying hard and whether they have made progress in their studies if she so wants to.

As for Horikita.

Horikita didn't want to be just a bystander who was "carried along," so she decided to actively participate in the class competition. Therefore, she approached Hirata and asked him to help her find a study group.

Because Horikita's academic performance ranked among the top three in the class, making her a valuable asset, Hirata was very pleased to match her with several students whose academic performance was dangerously high.

When the class discovered that Horikita, who was usually aloof, was actually making contributions to the class and even actively contacting people other than Shirai, everyone was dumbfounded.

At the time, many people thought that Horikita had changed, that the iceberg had melted, which made some people who had long been interested in Horikita's appearance unable to resist launching another offensive against Horikita.

However, unsurprisingly, they once again fell victim to Horikita's venomous snakes, and this time they were even more harshly criticized than before.

After all, during this time, Horikita had also undergone rigorous training in sharp-tongued techniques with Shirai and Kushida.

Although the matter of cultivation was not of her own volition.

..........

The Golden Week holiday, a seven-day break, has passed by in the blink of an eye.

May 10th marks the start of the new school year.

The students have returned to the classroom.

Class B, first grade.

At this moment, Bai Lan's class was holding its first morning meeting after returning from the holiday.

Chazhu: "I have something to say..."

Today, Chazhu didn't talk about much; he finished explaining everything in less than 10 minutes.

Normally, after the morning meeting is over, the remaining time is used for students to study on their own, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

As expected, an unexpected event soon occurred.

Chazhu had just finished speaking, not long after.

At this moment, Bai Lan raised her hand and said, "Teacher, I also have something to say."

"Go ahead and speak." Chashu nodded.

After approval is obtained.

Bai Lan stood up, glanced around, and said to everyone, "Have all those who didn't violate any rules last month received their bonuses?"

These words immediately caused the previously quiet classroom to erupt in noise.

"Got it, got it!"

"received!"

"There really is a bonus!"

"I have over 13,000."

"Me too."

"I discovered that the person who transferred the money to me was actually Horikita."

"Me too."

Will Horikita become our class's 'Minister of Finance' in the future?

"So, does this mean we've successfully found Horikita's contact information?"

"Oh, right? Now that we have each other's contact information, how about we make a date?"

"A date? Horikita is so fierce and completely heartless. A date with her would only be humiliating and embarrassing."

"And judging from the fact that she and Bai seem to have a good relationship, Bai actually managed to get Horikita to manage so many points for her, and Horikita was even willing to help. There might really be something between the two of them."

"If that's the case, wouldn't asking Horikita offend Shiro-kun? What if Shiro-kun is petty...?"

"Are you stupid? If Bai is really so petty, is it really okay for you to speak so loudly?"

......

After Bai Lan started by talking about the prize money, everyone in the class immediately started chattering. But somehow, after only a few words, their topic inexplicably shifted from "prize money" to things like "the relationship between Bai Lan and Horikita" and "whether Bai Lan is petty."

Bai Lan had excellent hearing and instantly caught the voice, found the speaker, and silently wrote down the person's name in her notebook.

Dare to call me petty?

They gave everyone about ten seconds to react and warm up the crowd.

After warming up the atmosphere, Bai Lan continued, "Alright, now that we've received the bonuses, we've completed the first step in building mutual trust."

So, in order for this class to get better and better in the future.

The future seems a bit too far away.

Let's not talk about things far away, let's talk about something closer to home.

The exams will begin on the 24th and 25th of this month.

Today is May 10th, which means there are only 14 days left until the midterm exams that will determine whether everyone can stay here, which is exactly two weeks, less than half a month.

In order to ensure that those who are willing to stick together will not have to drop out of school due to failing the midterm exam.

"Then it's time for us to move on to the next step."

Bai Lan's words immediately made more than half of the students in the class, who lacked confidence in their academic performance and felt that they were at risk of failing, anxious.

"Bai, hurry up and tell us! What's the next step?"

"Tell me quickly! I don't want to drop out of school! I've already paid the fine."

"There's less than two weeks left? Is it too late to start making arrangements now?"

.......

Seeing the reactions of the crowd, Bai Lan was satisfied with the results of her attempt to sell anxiety.

After guiding everyone's emotions, Bai Lan pressed on, saying, "A few days ago, we just completed a 'rewarding merits and punishing demerits' exercise. Everyone saw the results. Apart from Sudo-kun, is there anyone else who finds it unacceptable?"

"No, no, just tell me the next step! You're driving me crazy!"

"Yeah! It's not like we're asking you to film a variety show, where you can't collect advertising fees from sponsors, and the production team doesn't need you to pad your screen time. Hurry up and tell us!"

"Wait a minute! Didn't Bai just mention Sudo?"

"Was Sudo mentioned again?"

"What happened to Sudo?"

"It seems that Shiro said 'except for Sudo'... Doesn't Sudo accept it?"

"What? Sudo doesn't accept it? What happens if someone doesn't accept it? Can the new class rules still be implemented? If they can't be implemented, will the bonuses be returned?"

"No way! After my vacation, I only have 20,000 left in my account, which should have been enough. But if I return the 10,000+ bonus, it won't be enough!"

"What bonus? It's just a measly ten thousand. We have more than sixty thousand in living expenses every month, provided we can stay in this school until next month. So, you should be more concerned about whether we will be expelled!"

Without new class rules, who can guarantee that everyone will follow the rules and that no one will have to drop out?

"Yeah! Failing means expulsion! Sudo, what are you doing?"

"Sudo, explain yourself clearly."

For a time, Sudo, who rebelled against the "new class rules," became the target of everyone's criticism.

Sudo once again received the treatment of being the "center of attention".

However, unlike last time, this time, the way people looked at him was not "expectation," but "disdain" and "aversion."

"What?!" Sudo was also annoyed. "I'm not the only one who hasn't paid the fine! Why are you all targeting me?"

“No, it’s just you. Bai only mentioned your name.” Someone immediately responded to Sudo’s words.

"What?" At this moment, Sudo looked at his two friends in the classroom in disbelief.

"What's going on with Yamanouchi and Ike?"

Yamauchi, didn't you say that you didn't want to take orders from people who are more handsome than you, especially 'paying money because of an ugly handsome guy'?

Chi, as you said, it's best for everyone not to pay the fines first. This will attract attention, and then we can wait for the right price to go up in the queue, gain some attention, and ultimately reap more benefits.

Isn't this what you told me?
