Chapter 027: The End of the Daily Life

May 1st.

The once tranquil daily life is about to end.

This morning,

Class B, which had already anticipated this, remained calm. Shiranami and Himeno Yuki, among others, were gathered around Ichinose as usual.

"Everyone,"

Ichinose stood up, her sweet smile reassuring, "You've received your personal points for this month, right?"

"Mm, I received 65.000 points"

Shiranami's voice, as soft as a mosquito's hum, entered their ears.

"Me too."

Another person, who seemed to be named Amikura Mako, also nodded in agreement, "As expected, Honami's judgment was correct. The school can't possibly give us a hundred thousand personal points every month."

She seemed to be one of Ichinose's core members too.

Often, scenes of Okamoto, Shiranami, and Ichinose laughing together could be seen.

"Not really,"

Ichinose shook her head helplessly, "All thanks to Hikigaya's contribution. If it weren't for Hikigaya's speculation about the difference between class points and personal points, we wouldn't have been able to react so quickly."

"Uh..."

Hikigaya quickly averted his gaze and laid his head on the table. He could already feel several piercing gazes.

Ichinose was indeed commendable for remembering everyone's contributions.

But Ichinose's own reasoning was also excellent.

In the end,

Hikigaya knew that his speculation was not important at all.

Even without him,

There wouldn't be a significant change in personal points.

Ichinose's speculation was enough for the class to safely get through April.

Thinking about this made him feel somewhat ashamed. His contribution wasn't impressive enough to be admired.

Seeing him turn his back, the surrounding students didn't bother him either.

"That's indeed the case,"

Okamoto spoke in a sweet voice, "However, looking at it this way, Honami-chan, our method of saving personal points is indeed correct. It will definitely come in handy in the future. Hanabo, these are your personal points for May. I'll entrust you with these 35.000"

As Okamoto spoke up, the surrounding students also quickly chimed in, willingly handing their personal points over to Ichinose.

Hikigaya's cheeks were burning. He put on his headphones and pretended not to hear.

So naive.

Too sweet. Even sweeter than MAX coffee.

It was simply unbelievable.

They actually voluntarily handed their personal points over to a classmate for safekeeping. Why didn't they let him keep them?

These guys are really idiots.

"Really."

Their enthusiasm also made Ichinose somewhat helpless, "Saving personal points is indeed beneficial for the class. But you don't need to save excessively. If you need to use personal points somewhere, remember to tell me anytime."

"It's okay. 30.000 points are enough for a month's expenses."

Shift the topic.

Hikigaya slightly opened his eyes and keenly noticed that Himeno Yuki's smile was somewhat forced. She reluctantly handed over her personal points with an unwilling heart.

You Deserve it!

Hikigaya secretly chuckled.

....

As the school bell rang, the students of Class B returned to their seats.

Hoshinomiya Chie walked into the classroom, leaning on the door and holding a roll of paper. She then climbed onto the podium, looking as if she could collapse at any moment.

"Hoshinomiya-sensei, are you okay?"

Someone asked with concern.

"I'm fine, I'm fine."

Hoshinomiya waved her hand, her pale face squeezing out a smile, "I just drank too much last night and am suffering a bit from it. Don't worry."

"Uh..."

Immediately, the students of Class B showed helpless smiles.

This scene had been witnessed many times before. Hikigaya had also seen Hoshinomiya a little tipsy in language class multiple times.

Fortunately,

The students of Class B were very independent and instead started to take care of this teacher who was like a child.

After a while, Hoshinomiya turned around and spread out the roll of paper, sticking it on the blackboard on both sides.

On the left were the class points of each class.

Class A: 940 points.

Class B: 650 points.

Class C: 560 points.

Class D: 0 points.

Ichinose and others instantly understood that Hikigaya's speculation was mostly correct.

The class points and personal points were exchanged at a ratio of 1:100.

The other piece of paper was a report card from a preliminary test conducted some time ago. It didn't count towards the grades, but the people in Class B still gave it their all.

Hikigaya was no exception, he didn't take it lightly at all.

He also wanted to know what level his grades were at in this top-tier school.

He ranked second in Japanese language class, with Ichinose being first.

True to her reputation as the top student in the entrance exam for the entire grade level.

However, his English grade, which is also a liberal art subject, instantly dropped to 8th place. There were many students in this class who excelled in English.

His science grades were somewhat dismal.

Although he didn't completely give up on science as planned, he did study hard.

But both physics and chemistry only scored 60 points, and math was even worse with only 52 points.

Sure enough."Sure enough..."

No matter how hard you try, you can't excel at something you're not good at.

His overall grade was probably around 16th in the whole class, which could be considered slightly above average.

But that was enough for him.

He never intended to make his academic performance too good.

The passing score is half of the class average, which means, as long as the lowest score in a single subject is above fifty, there will be absolutely no problem.

However.

A math score of 52 is still a bit risky, after all, there's some element of luck involved here. It would be best to aim for around 60.

Hikigaya is determined to set his goal at 60 points.

"It seems like everyone has some expectations, so I'll keep it short," the teacher said.

Hoshinomiya-sebseu climbed onto the table and said listlessly, "Only Class A has the right to choose their career freely after graduation. If your class points can exceed Class A, you can move up to Class A. Otherwise, you will fall to Class C. Everyone, do your best~"

"Um..."

That's concise enough.

Hoshinomiya-sensei doesn't seem to have any intention of explaining. It's all up to the students to understand on their own.

Fortunately, the people in Class B are quite outstanding.

"Teacher!"

Ichinose raised her hand and signaled, "Correspondingly, the school should have prepared a system for us to earn class points, right? Can you tell us?"

"You want to know how to increase class points?"

Ms. Hoshinomiya racked her brains and thought hard: "That would be the upcoming midterm exam. As long as you get good grades, you can get corresponding class points. But if someone scores below the passing line, they will be expelled. Be careful, you know what the passing line is, right? It's that...that..."

"Half of the class average."

"Exactly! That's it!"

Hoshinomiya-sensei gave a thumbs up in admiration.

Drop out

In Japan, it's not something that can be easily glossed over.

Once there's a stain on your record, your future will inevitably become more difficult no matter what.

Feeling the uneasy gazes around her, Ichinose stood up and smiled with her hand on her chest:

"Don't worry. In my eyes, this is undoubtedly the best class. As long as we work together, there won't be any dropouts."

"Honami-chan..."

The corners of Class B's mouths couldn't help but curl into smiles.

However

Looking at the scene before him, Hikigaya couldn't agree.

Avoid having any dropouts.

Striving towards a goal is not a bad thing. However, this is just idealism. The world won't revolve around us. There will inevitably be people who draw the short straw.

When that time comes, how will Ichinose handle it?

However.

It turned out the one who drew the short straw was me!

Oh.

Well, that's fine then.

He had long since grown accustomed to this.

"Also, sensei."

Ichinose continued to voice his inner doubts, "I believe that Class B is the best class, and our performance this month has been very good. Why is there such a big gap between us and Class A? Could you tell us the evaluation criteria?"

Hikigaya couldn't help but look at the teacher.

Class B had its minor flaws. After all, it was inevitable to slack off a bit during class, but there was never any obvious tardiness or playing with phones.

There were people reminding each other.

For example, the guy behind him, Shiranami, who kept poking his back all day.

Our grades were also very good. At least there were quite a few people who were better than him.

But even so.

They were still left far behind by Class A. Were those people in Class A monsters?

Hikigaya felt that he should have been assigned to Class D.

He had always been at the bottom of his class from childhood to adulthood. How did he end up in Class B out of nowhere?

"I can't tell you that."

Hoshinomiya-sensei waved her little hand and said, "However, you can ask Hikigaya. Although he is a bit of a troublemaker, his insight is quite remarkable."

Huh?

he didn't expect that there would be such a talent in their class.

To receive such praise from the teacher.

Hikigaya.

It should just be a nickname.

However, speaking of which, he didn't even know the names of his classmates, let alone who they were.

He really wanted to meet this person who was praised so highly by the teacher.

Feeling everyone's gaze on him, Hikigaya was slightly taken aback.

"Ah?"

It turned out to be me.
