Real teaching, but diary flow

Loyalty: 100

The moment the metal clasp clicked shut, the instant the cool collar was quickly warmed by body heat, and the 'real' sensation of the collar encircling the neck echoed around.

Karuizawa Kei then had no possibility of 'betraying' her anymore.

She is loyal.

Loyalty mixed with love is also 100% loyalty.

Chapter 258 I think you're just a class point!

The problem between Karuizawa Megumi and the Rabbit Group has been resolved.

As for Shiho Manabe, she won't jump again even if the matter isn't resolved.

Moreover, the whole thing was caused by Karuizawa Kei's stubborn refusal to admit or apologize. If they could just get in touch with her through Kushida Kikyo, even if they apologized online without meeting in person, Morofuji Rika, as the person involved, would be very happy to accept it.

At that level, all that's needed is an apology.

Once the matter is resolved, Shiho Manabe and the others will also be free of problems.

As for the claim that Shiho Manabe discovered that Kei Karuizawa had been bullied in the past...

So what if they figured it out?

If she dares to secretly announce and spread this everywhere, then suppress her.

If you really go to that extent, it can no longer be considered a reasonable way to seek justice for your friend.

Since the Rabbit Group's exam was over, the evening's discussion meeting naturally didn't need to continue, and Asakusa Tetsu was temporarily freed from the exam.

However, they are freed, but not completely freed.

Asakusa Tetsu also needs to collect the remaining points from Class D as planned.

Therefore, he needs to meet with someone.

......

The hallway and stairwell were bright places, but few people would pass through them.

Arriving as promised, the refined and gentle Hirata Yosuke raised an eyebrow at the newcomer:

"Karuizawa-san... Oh, I see."

A shimmering necklace encircled Karuizawa Megumi's neck, while Asakusa Tetsu, who had come with her, did nothing.

Although they did nothing—they didn't openly link arms or express any ambiguous feelings—they didn't actually get closer to each other.

But Hirata Yosuke understood.

"Congratulations!" he said sincerely.

“...Ah, um.” Looking at this guy’s smile, Karuizawa Kei awkwardly pinched the end of her hair, rubbed it, and nodded: “...Thank you.”

Regardless, Hirata Yosuke was once her protector.

If possible, she didn't want things to end that way.

He is a good person.

"You're welcome." Hirata Yosuke smiled and turned to look at Asakusa Tetsu: "Asakusa-kun, right?"

"Although this isn't our first meeting, hello."

He extended his hand.

Asakusa Tetsu didn't manage to hold on.

"Sorry, I don't shake hands with men." Asakusa Tetsu shook his head, choosing to get straight to the point before the awkward atmosphere escalated: "You received all the text messages, right?"

"You should already know who the privileged students in your class are."

"I don't know if Xiao Wang, but did Wang Meiyu inform you of anything? If not, I'll repeat it again," he said.

In the morning, before the discussion began, he met with Wang Meiyu, intending to try to bribe her to end the monkey group's exam.

But it failed.

The target audience was poorly chosen, and the sales pitch was terrible.

Thinking about it carefully, instead of trying to persuade individual people like Wang Meiyu to betray the class, it would be better to directly approach the only person who can represent Class D.

Yosuke Hirata.

Since the goal is to completely seize Class D's class points, it is obvious that Class D's autonomy cannot be ignored.

Although the three classes can work together, not every exam can be passed by simply overwhelming everyone with this method.

Ideally, Class D would voluntarily contribute class points to him.

But this is obviously impossible.

unless......

A combination of kindness and severity.

"The top three classes plan to cooperate in this exam to take advantage of Class D's class points and test whether the school will allow negative scores."

"To demonstrate our control over this special exam and to prove that I have completely figured out the selection pattern of the so-called preferential treatment recipients, I have already finished the exams for several groups, and there should be two of them who are the preferential treatment recipients from Class D."

To get straight to the point, Asakusa Toru began:

“Class D has no right to resist, but I don’t intend to let Class D continue eating wild vegetable meals.”

"Anyway, the class points will be reset to zero next month. Are you interested in signing a contract?"

Asakusa Tetsu raised the printed document in his hand.

“We will give you a certain amount of ‘basic allowance’ every month. In exchange, Class D must ‘absolutely obey’ my arrangements during the special exam.”

Hirata Yosuke: "..."

“Yes, that’s right, it’s a ‘contract of servitude,’ selling the future of Class D in exchange for present peace.” Asakusa Tetsu shrugged. “But you have no choice. The gap of two thousand points is irreversible, and the current zero point will not change.”

"The fact is, you are indeed too weak."

"Furthermore, don't forget the previous agreement: even if Class D obtains more than 300 class points, they must hand over half of them to us."

It was spread out, broken into pieces, ground into powder, and then brewed into water.

With this level of explanation, Asakusa Tetsu felt he had made the stakes very clear.

It all depends on how quickly Hirata Yosuke's mind works, and how he will choose between the unattainable future of graduating from Class A and the lives of his current classmates.

If this treaty were to be laid bare before the students of Class D, Asakusa Tetsu thought they would definitely sign it.

At least until they receive the money for the exam on the deserted island, they will sign the contract.

But now that they have money, they might get arrogant.

So it's best to talk to Hirata Yosuke, who's most likely to have a brain, about this kind of thing.

"...A certain amount, how much is it?" After a long silence, Hirata Yosuke was the first to ask this question.

If he cannot determine the amount of 'minimum living allowance', he has no way to make a decision.

"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, it should be 21,000, with each of the three classes contributing 7,000. The amount can be adjusted based on your performance in the special exam, fluctuating up or down, but in any case, the 7,000 contribution from Class A will definitely be guaranteed," Asakusa Tetsu replied.

Actually, Asakusa Tetsu originally thought that spending around 10,000 yuan would be enough, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that the previous D class had already spent 8,000 yuan. With 10,000 points per person per month, it still seemed a bit too meager.

Ten thousand is too little, and thirty thousand is a bit too much.

The gains and losses from this special exam transfer are only 600 points, which is roughly 60,000. Giving away too much is not as good as achieving result one.

...Thus it may be more likely that the reason why result one was not achieved was simply because Asakusa Toru was too lazy to waste three days in meetings with others in the conference room.

cough.

"...Twenty-one thousand." Hirata Yosuke frowned slightly.

This is a very subtle number.

Insufficient than above, more than below.

This in-between situation is causing him some trouble.

On one hand, there is the undeniable fact that the three classes have formed an alliance, failed the exam, and the day when Class D will return to zero points seems imminent.

On one hand, there are the contract terms offered by Toru Asakusa: a minimum living allowance of 21,000 yen and a permanently blocked hope for upward mobility.

how to choose?

"...I need to discuss this with my classmates."

Yosuke Hirata did not make a decision for his classmate immediately; regardless of whether the conditions were good or bad, he would choose to 'discuss' the matter.

Asakusa Tetsu shrugged: "Please."

"If needed, this contract can be taken back and examined carefully, word by word."

He handed the paper in his hand to Hirata Yosuke.

"But the deadline is today, so please give me a definite answer tonight." He added, "Instead of continuing to drag on with this exam, wouldn't it be better to finish it sooner and continue having fun on the cruise ship?"

"Our patience will not last forever."

Rather than saying it's about patience, it's more accurate to say that the plan itself isn't absolute.

Well, the main variable is still the mentally challenged Koenji.

Others probably don't have the ability to see the pattern. If Koenji guesses the target in order to end the exam early, he will lose fifty class points in the process.

Yosuke Hirata is gone.

He took the contract, clutched the pages tightly, and left.

He didn't exchange another glance with Karuizawa Megumi, who was standing next to Asakusa Toru, and didn't say anything more than a thank you.

It seems to have become completely irrelevant...

No, they were never really connected to each other to begin with, and now they've simply returned to the way things were at the beginning.

classmate.

That's it.

She has found a more suitable protector and is radiating a much happier and more cheerful aura than when she was under her own protection.

What could be less worthy of celebration?

......

Class 1-D was gathered together by Hirata Yosuke, and the students' expressions changed slightly as they listened to Hirata Yosuke's explanation.

"Twenty thousand, twenty thousand, twenty thousand..." Chi Kuanzhi, who had finished his exams early, muttered to himself, lost in thought.

Sudo, hearing his repetitive words, shoved him and muttered a curse:

"You pocketed that thousand yuan, didn't you? If you look down on a small amount, you can give it to me later."

"No way!" Chi Kuanji said with a grin.

Although it's a conversation between two idiots, it has to be admitted that their feelings are also everyone's feelings.

"Twenty-one thousand... feels a bit low."

"Yeah, yeah, everyone got 80,000 on the deserted island, so they should at least..."

The girls chattered away, lost in their daydreams, but Horikita Suzune coldly interrupted them:

"—Can't you do math?"

"What is the 80,000 on the deserted island? It's a one-time transaction with no follow-up. Normally, it would be less than 10,000 per month, which is only 3,000 per month compared to the 1 million given by Class A."

"That's why I'm saying, you guys..."

Covering her forehead, Horikita Suzune sighed in frustration.

What's this all about?

It was supposed to be a special exam where you could really show off your skills, but on the first day of the exam, did the other side already have a complete grasp of how to win?

What's wrong with that diary thing? It inexplicably wrote something in its diary before noon, and then inexplicably suddenly didn't want to write anymore.
