Hachiman’s Classroom of Strength’s Supremacy

Chapter 054: Sakayanagi is the Greatest Traitor of Class A!

Although they had never met face-to-face, Hachiman had developed some impression of the chairman of the school.

He felt that the chairman was probably quite an open-minded person.

Previously, Chabashira-sensei tried to trick him into a deal by purchasing the permission to exchange points for cash from the school. Later, the school sent him the information and granted him this permission.

And with it, they made some restrictions.

This showed that the school valued points above all else. As long as there were points, anything could be bought.

However, it couldn’t cross the line completely.

The school was flexible, but it also had boundaries.

And this was exactly what was being demonstrated right now.

Since the first-year class evaluation scores were forcibly exposed, the exam questions were also directly revealed, turning the closed-book exam into an open-book one.

Was there any meaning behind doing this?

Yes.

On one hand, the displayed scores already aligned with the potential gaps that could emerge between the four classes after they entered.

But there were still more than 20 days left in this month, so whether they could maintain their advantage or avoid being deducted more points had become crucial.

Thus, it was important to further observe the students’ reactions.

Hachiman felt that if he were the chairman, he would probably adopt a similar plan.

This way, the scope of the assessment would be expanded.

However, this idea was too far-fetched.

Hachiman didn’t know the chairman.

Moreover, he didn’t think there was a way for him to rise; coming from Class D, making money was the main thing for him.

If he could get Class D promoted to Class A once, he could earn 10 million yen in cash from Chabashira-sensei.

And in the process, if he could gain more points, he would also try to do that.

“Well, I’ll head out first,” Chabashira Sae said.

Although she had received the school’s message, she needed to attend a meeting.

That meant she had to synchronize the messaging—what could be told to the students and what needed to be kept under wraps.

Teachers had a tough job too.

…

Watching Chabashira-sensei leave, Hachiman and Horikita didn’t stay behind.

However…

“The plan is still the same,” Hachiman said to Horikita Suzune as they walked downstairs from the rooftop.

“The school has decided to expose the content of the behavioral assessment. This saves us some trouble. Otherwise, we’d have to figure out and create specific behavioral guidelines for the students to follow.”

“Now we can directly turn it into an open-book exam, which is the best scenario.”

“But there’s still one issue we need to handle—actually, it’s a big problem exclusive to the lower-ranked classes,” Hachiman said.

“What do you mean?”

“Once Chabashira-sensei announces the school’s rules, the situation where Class D is penalized 50 points for damaging the camera will definitely lead to an attack on us,” Hachiman explained.

“A fast way to unite a group is by having a common enemy, but I don’t really want to play that role for this class.”

“And then…”

Hachiman paused. “That’s when you’ll need to step in, Horikita.”

“…”

Suzune remained silent.

Suzune Horikita only then understood.

This guy was making her take the fall.

…

Thus, after the lunch break.

After the afternoon classes ended, all first-year students were kept in their classrooms.

This was because the homeroom teacher had received a sudden notice.

They would be given an explanation about the school’s rules.

“At this school, only students who graduate from Class A will have a 100% rate of progression to higher education or employment. Students from the other classes will have to take exams on their own. The school uses a class competition system to train you.”

“When you entered the school, each class was given an equal 1000 base points, which will accumulate until graduation.”

“And the 1st of each month is when the school issues living expenses.”

“However, the monthly living expenses will no longer be 100,000 yen. Instead, they will be adjusted based on the evaluation of the base points.”

“In other words, the class evaluation scores that have been announced now indicate that your class still has 480 points remaining.”

“So, on the 1st of next month, each of you will receive living expenses of 480 times 100, which is 48,000 yen.”

“However, this score will change, and the score on the 1st of the month will be used as the basis for determining the living expenses.”

“At the same time, the class rankings are fluid. The class with the highest evaluation score will be Class A.”

“So, if after any exam, your class’s evaluation score exceeds that of Class A, your class will become the new Class A.”

Chabashira Sae, the homeroom teacher of Class D, explained the rules to her students.

…

Meanwhile, in the old Class A.

The homeroom teacher of Class A, Mashima, was explaining the same rules.

However, this was the second time he was explaining them. On the first day of school, this year’s students used a huge amount of points to buy the school’s rules from him, as well as the news about the behavioral norms assessment for the first month of school.

It was essentially like buying insider information.

By obtaining this information and secretly developing their plans, they would ultimately achieve higher scores than previous Class A students.

They could create a safe gap from the lower-ranked classes.

And now.

First-year Class A: 996 points

First-year Class B: 834 points

First-year Class C: 611 points

First-year Class D: 530 points

Class A had already distanced itself from Classes C and D.

However, Class B still had 834 points remaining.

So they hadn’t distanced themselves from Class B yet. If Class B only had six or seven hundred points left, it would feel much more secure.

With that,

Class representative Katsuragi from the “safe path” side furrowed his brows.

This caused the members of the Sakayanagi faction to become even more eager as they looked at their leader – the little princess Sakayanagi.

The little princess seemed to be contemplating something, her cute brows slightly furrowed.

However, in reality, Sakayanagi wasn’t thinking about how to handle the exam.

Instead, she was thinking about this:

The information that Hachiman had obtained about the school was from her.

And the fact that Hachiman had exposed their class’s evaluation score by causing their class to lose points was also something he learned from her.

This meant that the class competition hadn’t even started yet.

She had already aided the enemy, and not just once, but twice.

What a complicated experience.

So, did this mean that she had become a traitor to Class A?

Sakayanagi Arisu pouted.
