After receiving such an answer, the inexplicable and creepy aura from Hoshinomiya Chie instantly dissipated.
"Well, that's true. After all..."
Tuk-tuk-tuk.
Before he finished speaking, three polite knocks were heard from outside the office door.
The two female teachers looked at each other, and it was Chabashi Sae who looked away first.
"Please come in." Hoshinomiya Chie said.
Fur——
The office door was pushed open from the outside and Yukinoshita Haruno came in.
"Excuse me for interrupting you, Mr. Chabashira, but I would like to talk to you alone. Is that okay?"
"Now?"
Hearing this, Chabashira Sae's mouth corners seemed to rise slightly.
"Sure, let's go to the counseling room and talk..."
"Ah, it's okay, it's okay, you guys can just chat here, Sae-chan." Hoshinomiya suddenly interrupted with a smile, "I suddenly have something to do and need to go back to the dormitory, you guys can just chat directly."
After saying that, she quickly walked to the office door. Before leaving, she waved to the two of them and then closed the door.
"This guy……"
Chabashira Sae shook his head and turned his gaze to the girl from Class D who was still standing there.
"Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Then I'll get straight to the point, Mr. Chabashira. What I want to talk to you about is—"
Yukinoshita Haruno looked directly into the teacher's eyes and said without hesitation.
"About how to ensure everyone passes the midterm exam."
"……snort."
Chabashira Sae chuckled coldly, as if he was not surprised by the topic he raised.
"Since you've said that, then tell me, what is the basis for your claim?"
In the office here, Yukinoshita Haruno was still battling with the female teacher. At the same time, Wu Yi arrived outside the door.
He and Hoshinomiya Chie arrived almost at the same time as they left, their timing was just right, perfectly staggered.
However, Wu Yi did not push the door open directly. He quietly opened the door a little bit. A slight air flow blew out from the office, carrying the sound of the conversation between the two people.
"Of course, this inference is not just my imagination."
In the office, Yukinoshita Haruno's voice was very calm.
"Teacher, you also said before that our school adopts a competitive system. The ranking of a class represents the quality rating of the students in the class. In other words, being assigned to class D is not because classes ABC are full, but because the school only rates the student D."
"It is true that most of the students in our class are much worse off in terms of basics than those in other classes."
"The rule is that if one person fails, two hundred class points will be deducted. Given the current situation of our class, even if we work hard and study overnight from now on, I'm afraid there will be several people who fail the exam, such as Sudo, Ike, Yamauchi, Sakura, Karuizawa, etc. There are already five of them here."
"With such a terrifying number of failing students, even if the class had a full 1,000 points at the beginning of the semester, they would be deducted in an instant. The only safe way is for everyone to hand in a blank paper, but this method is undoubtedly not encouraged by the school."
"If we use this method to pass the exam every time, the final result will only be that the gap between Class D and other classes will become larger and larger. Moreover, if this method is used for the first time, the students in the class will never be motivated to study hard again."
"In this way, Class D will always be Class D, and will always be a runner-up... No, it's not even a runner-up, but in that case, the meaning of Class D being established will be lost."
"After all, if the purpose of Class D is just to serve as a negative example, then why would they spend so much resources and money to recruit these 40 students? Not only would they waste a lot of government funding, but they would also waste three years of the students' time. I don't think the school would do something that would harm others and not benefit itself."
"Moreover, if it is just a source of motivation to encourage students to compete, the fact that Class A graduates can obtain the Universal Wishing Holy Grail is enough."
"So I think at least this time, the school will allow some room for off-field maneuvers."
After finishing her long speech, Yukinoshita Haruno went straight into a state of silence, looking at the female teacher in front of her silently and firmly.
"Ah……"
Chabashira Sae chuckled, propped up his chin and spoke slowly.
"The analysis makes sense, but did you come up with this conclusion yourself, or did Wu Yi tell you?"
"To be honest, I came to this conclusion based on an unintentional remark of his," said Yukinoshita Haruno.
"Sure enough, it's you two again."
After a while, Chabashi Sae slowly stopped smiling as if he had enjoyed himself, and there seemed to be a lion hidden in his slightly widened eyes.
"Okay, okay, I admit that there is indeed a way to pass the midterm exam 100% without handing in a blank paper. So, let's do this. As long as you can pay me 100,000 points right on the spot, I will tell you this method."
"ten……"
Yukinoshita Haruno froze.
One hundred thousand, that was the total number of points awarded at the beginning of the school year. Even though she took first place in the girls' group in the swimming class, she only earned an extra 5,000 points.
But it's already the end of the month. Even if she only eats the free vegetable meal for the whole month, the daily necessities in the dormitory add up to more than 5,000 points... ah, although daily necessities are also free.
But if she was asked to come up with 100,000 points at once, she really couldn't do it.
What a mean teacher...
"I only have 70,000 on hand right now." Yukinoshita Haruno told the truth.
"If you can't come up with it, then we can forget about it~"
"I……"
Ding!
Just as Yukinoshita Haruno was about to bargain again, a crisp system prompt sound came from the pocket of her school uniform skirt.
Chabashira Sae, who also heard the voice, was also slightly stunned.
As if realizing something, the girl quickly took out her cell phone and took a look. A line of point arrival notification was clearly listed on the lock screen.
——[User "Wu Yi" transfers 50000 personal points to you].
At the same time, the office door was pushed open again, and Wu Yi walked in with a mobile phone. He looked at Yang Nai who turned back with a look of surprise, and raised the mobile phone in his hand with the screen showing a successful transfer to the latter.
"Hey, aren't you going to invite me to join you for this fun thing?"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Contrary to her usual behavior, Chabashi Sae laughed twice before bursting into laughter, covering her forehead with her hands.
"I have to say there are so many interesting people in Class D this year. I don't understand why students like you were assigned to Class D. Well, well, I'll tell you the secret to passing the level!"
Volume 46: Chapter : Cheats
"...You call this a cheat code?"
Two minutes later, looking at the five test papers that he had just received and were still wet on the table in front of him, Wu Yi showed the expression of an old man on the subway phone.
The reason is simple. Although Chabashi Sae gave him the midterm exam papers, the problem is that these papers... are all last year's midterm exam papers.
Well, isn't that similar to the review stage in elementary and junior high school? You would take out some papers from last year or the year before and review according to the knowledge points and question types there. If you're lucky, you might come across one or two original questions.
Of course, if you are unlucky and all the questions are changed, then it would be a waste of time.
"Don't worry. Since I promised to give you the secret code, it must be a secret code that can guarantee a 100% pass."
Chabashira Sae was rummaging through the drawers of her desk. After a while, she pulled out two almost identical papers from the top and bottom drawers respectively.
"See? This is the test paper you took this time... and this one is the test paper the first-year students took last year. Don't they look almost the same?"
"Eh, it seems so..." Wu Yi tilted his head to take a look.
"Could it be that!"
Yukinoshita Haruno was slightly stunned and immediately thought of something.
"Well, that's the 'maybe' you were thinking of."
Chabashi Sae smiled slightly, but quickly put on her usual attitude of not caring about it.
"After all, our school trains useful talents who can be directly sent to society in the future, rather than nerds who study hard forever. Therefore, the focus on textbook knowledge is not as strict as that of ordinary high schools. Generally speaking, there are only one or two changes in the exam questions every year... So, you understand what I mean."
"But if that's the case, then all exams will be..." Yukinoshita Haruno was a little confused.
"All? No kidding, of course not."
Before she could finish, Chabashira Sae interrupted her.
"I'm just talking about routine exams like this. In addition, there are countless special exams of all sizes. Those are your chances to truly compete with other classes... Likewise, there will be written exams. It's better to say that it's precisely because of the existence of so many special exams that these routine exams seem almost dispensable."
"That means tutoring is still necessary, right?" Yukinoshita Haruno heard the hidden meaning in the words.
"It's up to you to interpret this."
Chabashira Sae did not answer directly, but took out a pack of ladies' cigarettes from the drawer and stood up and said.
"Well, it's almost time. You probably haven't had lunch yet."
"...Same."
Hearing this obvious order to leave, Yukinoshita Haruno did not continue to explore the matter further. She just put away all five test papers and bowed with a smile.
"Thank you very much. We won't bother you any more, teacher."
After saying that, he leisurely left the office.
Wu Yi also raised his eyebrows silently after looking at Chabashi Sae, then turned around and followed.
……
The view changes to the school cafeteria.
Nearly thirty minutes had passed since the lunch bell rang. During this time, most of the students had finished their lunch and were packing up their plates to leave the cafeteria, leaving large groups of empty seats.
But this was also convenient for the two of them who had just rushed to the restaurant to buy lunch.
"Mountain vegetable set meal...how can you eat this?"
Wu Yi found a seat that looked clean and sat down. He put down the plate piled with various grilled meats in his hand. When he looked up, he found that the plate in front of the girl sitting opposite him was filled with some bland vegetarian dishes.
Well, it’s not completely vegetarian, there are still some meat dishes, for example, stir-fried celery with shredded pork... but it’s one piece of shredded pork for one pot of celery.
"I can't help it. I have no money..."
Although he was not the type who indulged in food, Yang Nai felt a little helpless when he saw the bland soup in front of him.
"After all, I spent 100,000 points at once, and 50,000 of them were borrowed from you, Wu Yi. Although I still have more than 20,000 left now, I have to wait until next month when the points are issued to pay back the 50,000. By then, I estimate that I will only have 50,000 or 60,000 left at most. I have to be thrifty and careful with my budgeting."
"Then you can just pay it back in installments." Wu Yi didn't care. "At most you can pay back 25,000 next month, and another 25,000 the month after that."
"Eh? Is everything ok?" the girl was stunned.
"I don't mind."
Wu Yi shrugged and casually threw one of the two pistol legs on the plate into the other party's vegetable meal.
"Although I'm not rich right now, I probably have about 5,000 points left. But tomorrow is the last day of this month, and I'll be fearless again the day after tomorrow."
"That's right... Eh? Five thousand points?"
Yang Nai suddenly felt that something was wrong, and after a little thought, he suddenly reacted.
"Eh hey hey? Does that mean that classmate Wu Yi spent all the 100,000 points in one month?"
It was indeed 100,000 points, because this guy had won 50,000 points from Koenji during swimming class at the beginning of the month.
In fact, there are quite a few people in the class who spend all their 100,000 points in one month. For example, Waimura, a "doctor" in the class, spent 80,000 points to buy a laptop at the beginning of the month.
And Yamauchi also spent 20,000 personal points to buy a handheld game console.
Among girls, it was also the case with Karuizawa Megumi, but she spent a lot of money on buying new clothes.
As for Wu Yi...Yang Nai's impression was that he seemed to have bought nothing except a pair of sunglasses. Besides, even the sunglasses were relatively cheap ones, so it was not a big expense at all.
If there is any big expense, it is probably only food.
After all, this guy shows off his barbecue in front of them every day...
"There's nothing I can do. Raising a younger sister costs money." Wu Yi said as if it was a matter of course.
"Huh, you actually admitted it?" Yang Nai was a little surprised by this guy's sudden frankness.
"……what?"
