LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 47
This is Sakayanagi Arisu, her follower Kamuro-san seems to be away now.
But. “Hikigaya-kun, this is really rare. You have already arrived before I came,” Sakayanagi's lips were filled with a smile, and her eyes were as deep as sapphires.
"You really want to meet me....? But I'm sorry, you are not my type. What I like is a unique and intelligent person!” She teased, while still having that cute smile on her face.
And then she took the initiative
'But this kind of item card that is not what the opponent likes is really destructive' Hachiman thought to himself.
"So, what is the purpose of today's invitation?" He decided to get straight to the point.
"I just feel a little bored” That's what she said, even her face lost that bright colour a little bit. Very sad.
"..." Hachiman's expression was probably -0- like this. 'Did you bring me here specifically because you felt it was boring?'
But Sakayanagi continued to talk.
"The people here asked about the special exam this time, which is the same for the whole year.
• However, the senior students were not studying, so after asking, they found that the questions in the written exam this time were the same as those in previous exams.
• So as long as you buy the past papers from the upperclassmen, you can pass the test smoothly.” Sakayanagi said these dangerous things in such a manner, Hachiman thought it was just like asking which hairpin looks good? 'Don't care at all?'
Then you are really bright, directly laying out the way to successfully pass the exam.
But this also shows that this midterm exam is meaningless. Because Class A, Class B, and Class C where Hachiman is, also have test papers.
So, work hard, and all classes will be rewarded with good class evaluation scores.
As a result, even Hachiman cannot maximize his profits.
As for Class A, the academic foundation is not bad, and they also know that they can buy old questions, so getting the reward of a class evaluation score of 100 points is almost a piece of cake.
For Sakayanagi, there is nothing that requires her to interfere with. Of course, it would be a different matter if she started pole dancing in the classroom to motivate the other students.
"...." Hachiman. His thoughts were slightly getting perverted. 'It must be because of that weirdo, Horikita!
So..... this kind of exam must be quite boring to her.
And the whole school tests like this. It makes even less sense. There is little room to maneuver.
"Although it's an old test question," So, Hachiman who just sexualised Sakayanagi in a very rude manner, decided to make up, “...But this is a common test for all students in this school..... It can be said that except for the first-year students, the second-year and third-years have already known that they can buy the test papers from the seniors.....
"Oh?" She immediately looked over with a curious look in her eyes.
There was another reason why she would invite the other party over.
Because Hikigaya-kun's sexy ideas were always different from ordinary people, and to a certain extent, Arisu also needed to pay attention to it.
"Um...Although it is good to eat together, but... …I think sometimes it might be better to lose their job,” When Hachiman saw that he had gained the full attention of the other party, his voice raised a little bit, "Because the bowl is very expensive.”
"Nani?” Sakayanagi blinked her eyes lightly, she didn't understand this weird connotation for a moment but then suddenly her eyes widened in realisation, “.....You want to do something amazing!"
Arisu seemed to get very excited by his proposal. In other words, she actually hates sticking to conventions or rules. Instead, she likes deviant and unusual things.
'What a terrible bastard!'
“Since the whole school is using old questions to take the exam. " So, he continued explaining his evil thoughts, “....And this has become a routine, but I don't think it's the best way to tackle.”
“So I have an idea,” Hachiman picked up a plastic cup, and tore it into two pieces, “What will happen if we break all their bowls?"
"For example, 3 days before the exam starts. The memorized papers they bought had their questions leaked and were even unusable....What would that situation look like?”
They will become desperate!
"So...” Hachiman looked at Sakayanagi, with his rotten eyes, that has started to gain some life force,
Sakayanagi, are you interested in this matter?”
'Are you interested...? “You are really a devil if you leak the questions before the exam starts.” Sakayanagi said in a cold tone that may have sent shivers down Hachiman's spine, but it could not show her excited mood. “You want to raid the whole school.....”
___________
Moments later.
“This kind of thing cannot be recognized by the chairman” Sakayanagi said with some regret, she indeed found this proposal very interesting, “Because it will cause a large number of dropouts, and the school will not support or agree to this kind of operation....
This is true. Because most students come to this school through special screening, everyone is an important sample.
Then the school also conducts points and provides resources. If a large number of specimens drop out of school like this, they will definitely be in trouble.
It's a waste of money. So, the school will not support it.
'However, Sakayanagi's comprehensive analysis now means that she's indeed interested in such terrible things.'
"So....you just have to control it within a certain limit." But Hachiman has already decided to scam this school a long time ago, “There is no need to really break the job....Even if the question is leaked, a new paper can be prepared to replace it as a backup.”
“And there’s a good chance of getting buy-in from the upperclassmen in the process.”
"The selection of the Student council president requires the participation of all students in the school, so this method can be used to obtain part of the votes.....” After saying this, Hachiman deliberately paused and looked at this loli name, Sakayanagi.
The atmosphere around her is getting quite scary, and she was staring at Hachiman with her eyes open...she hadn't blinked from the moment he started speaking.
"As the representative of Class A, even though Sakayanagi was rejected by President Horikita, you must have wanted to get this position through your own efforts,” Hachiman decided to continue, he also kept staring at Sakayanagi's every small body movements.
'Please get fooled, please get fooled........I have to send Sakayanagi for fishing somewhere else .....
These words sounded very pleasant to Sakayanagi's ears. Because, she just casually submitted an application to join the student council.
Then on the 1st, she and Katsuragi were ridiculed by Horikita Manabu, face to face.
Although at that time Sakayanagi remained cute. But there was obviously some dissatisfaction.
So, Hachiman's proposal really made her a little tempted.
The election of the student council president requires the recommendation of the president, and then also needs the support of the whole student body.
The latter point is very important, because it's very difficult. So, she has to seize the opportunity.
'And isn't this golden egg laying right in front of me? Just poke it with my cane a little bit!' Sakayanagi thought in her mind.
But soon.
"..." Arisu. She recognized it immediately, "....Hikigaya-kun you are trying to set me up. This is trying to change my thinking into conquering the Student council with all my strength.” Hachiman remained expressionless about this matter. He chose to remain silent.
However, in fact, it was really a trap for her.
On the one hand, if Hachiman wants to rush to Class A, he needs to stabilize Sakayanagi Arisu.
'This girl is a genius. If it weren't for her physical discomfort, then maybe Sakayanagi is one of those so-called perfect beings.'
So, if she came to lead Class A....Then Hachiman's plan of touching the porcelain of reaching Class A once will go bankrupt.
In that case... what to do? Naturally, Sakayanagi Arise had to be restrained.
Let her take her eyes away from the competition in the class and focus on the student council, and then she will naturally not have much time to lead Class A. There are chances of being overlooked.
So, Katsuragi is the best dark horse, where Hachiman's class can easily compete.
'So, Sakayanagi Arisu, go join the student council, forget about class evaluation scores and the like....These little things are obviously not worth your time....Go fish into the Vice President's lake...'
Hachiman thought to himself.
_______
Generally speaking, there are tips for dealing with this written test.
This has become a tacit understanding among senior students, so they don’t need to review it at all.
As for Hachiman and the others, even if they didn't find out in this exam, they should know how to tackle it when the new first-year students enter school.
But. 'Is it really okay to stick to the rules like this?'
It is true that since the school allows cheating, then the test questions will not change, it hopes that students will not be too rigid and be flexible when it's time to face unexpected situations in society.
But Hachiman thought this was an opportunity.
By tricking Sakayanagi Arisu's attention into the upperclassmen of the student council, his chances of promotion will increase a lot.
Then he can also test the bottom line of the senior class.
If Sakayanagi Arisu can pass this exam, she will gain a certain amount of support from the seniors.
Then she is definitely expected to become the next Student council president.
If Sakayanagi is not allowed to enter the office, then she will become the President herself.
This kind of advice seemed to be debilitating, but Arisu readily accepted it.
The student council president's general election will be in the second half of the year, and Hachiman has decided to rush into Class A first during the first half.
Of course, Sakayanagi's election may also fail. Judging from what Ichinose said, second-year Vice President Nagumo is very strong.
But as long as Sakayanagi can focus her attention, it will be a good deal for his Class C.
Although the chance is relatively small, Sakayanagi may also become the Student council president, and then Hachiman's class will also fall down the cliff.
However, he, Hikigaya-kun, was a staunch supporter of the new Student council president at the beginning, and even provided advice to the other party in canvassing votes.
This can be regarded as selling a favor. If Sakayanagi really ascends to heaven, Hachiman hopes that he will not be forgotten.
So, it's a win-win situation.
However, if everyone's bowls were broken as Hachiman said, wouldn't the test papers that Kushida and the others bought become useless?
Not really. Because even if he goes to lift the table, Sakayanagi still needs to have a backup plan.
'Otherwise, why would the upperclassmen be obedient? Need something to wrap around their neck?!
Therefore, Hachiman reported the sale of test papers, and Sakayanagi had to be responsible for producing another legal papers.
Report the first-grade exam paper that has been circulated by the school for a long time, but at this time, if Sakayanagi, a life saver, can provide a new exam paper, the school's face can be saved.
It's a win-win move.
"Although I feel like I'm being used as a weapon, I have to say that your suggestion is very good.” Sakayanagi didn't feel bad, in fact there seems to be new fun added to her shitty campus life.
'In other words, Sakayanagi, are you the type of person who wants to challenge the world?'
Ok. Then you should work hard for the position of Student council president. Hachiman will definitely give her one vote!
And this time. "The meal is ready." A tall girl with purple hair appeared at the door of the private room.
This is Kamuro-san. She wasn't there when Hachiman arrived, but now he knows what she was doing.
It turned out that she was gone to buy food for them. It's really hard work, Kamuro-san. This girl's always doing other stuff!
Only. "What are you talking about?" Kamuro-san's face was frowning, she has been working under Sakayanagi for more than a month.
The other party really regarded her as... nimble hands and feet.
So, Kamuro was assigned to do a lot of things.
And because she was given a lot of orders, she noticed that Sakayanagi seemed to be in a good mood.
And when she went to buy food, the other party and Hikigaya Hachiman were probably talking about something very terrible.
With this thought, she glanced at Hikigaya.
Only they knew about her purchase of the papers. 'Could it be that Sakayanagi is in a good mood now because she discovered the fact that I bought test papers?'
'Then it's like grabbing another handle for me!' Can it be used to bully her?
This kind of thing...
"Oh no, this has nothing to do with you, Kamuro-san" But Sakayanagi said.
“....”
In other words, Sakayanagi still didn't know about her private dealings with Hikigaya? And her smiling face had nothing to do with Kamuro-san?
'I always feel like I'm missing something'
But this time, she had already got a sure-win plan, so Kamuro-san didn't have to worry about a single thing.
So, her mood instantly turned much better.
"...." This poor child didn't have a single clue what kind of evil things these two people were planning? And how badly it's going to affect Kamuro-san?!
In this way, the three of them started to eat.
Because Sakayanagi is very rich, then Kamuro-san is also never polite while buying expensive meals at all.
The set meals she buys are all um... random orders. She just buys whatever she thinks is delicious, without looking at the price.
And this also brings about a fairly free appetite. Then Kamuro-san started to eat her lunch honestly, she'll definitely pass this stupid exam with flying colours!
________
And the other side.
After three days of hard work, both Horikita and Kushida finally used the textbooks from previous years borrowed by Hachiman, and then filled in the answers to the papers they received from the low-achieving senpai.
After all, it was an ancient paper, so Horikita and the others spent a lot of effort to get the correct answers.
Hachiman’s suggestion is that if you really don’t know how to fill it out, then there’s no need to fill it out.
For the students in the class, as long as they can get an average score of about 80 points and then get the first class evaluation score of 100 points that Chabashira-sensei mentioned, it will be enough.
So, just give an answer with about 90 points.
However, Suzune refused without mercy. According to her, it is obviously a problem that can be solved, but if it is not solved, she will just open more textbooks and start reading again.
This is the persistence of a top student, and Hachiman doesn't quite understand it.
But it's great that they can gain new knowledge. Although... most of their test papers are useless.
Because Hachiman has already sent an invitation to Sakayanagi.
The other party was responsible for writing out the first-grade papers to explain to the school, while he was responsible for leaking the questions here.
So the old papers will be exposed and... useless.
Only. It would be too cruel to tell them directly. Especially Horikita, I always feel like she's going to hit me if I did!'
"I don't think we should send them the compiled test papers yet....Now that those idiots are studying, and if they know these ghost questions, what do you think they will do?" So, Hachiman decided to delay this matter as long as he could.
"In other words, everyone will skip the study session and start crazily reciting the papers they got?" Little angel Kushida is still here, and immediately understood the real meaning behind that statement.
"Yes." Hachiman nodded, 'This girl is indeed impressive unlike someone else' “....So it is recommended that you send the papers to them a few days before the exam.”
"In this case, there is nothing we can do." Kushida also agreed after thinking about the conduct of her classmates.
Although the students in Class B have been entrusted to sacrifice 10 top students.
But there must be some people who still haven't gone to join the study group, and after this exam is over, what about the another one in the future?
It's impossible to copy the answer every time. Therefore, we have to let these defects improve their academic ability.
"But you can reveal this news to calm their minds." Hachiman added. 'Give them a small candy bar.'
"Tell the classmates?"
“Give them something to look forward to. If they can persist in studying for 20 days, then give them the papers.....If they are dissatisfied, just push the blame towards me.”
“Hikigaya-kun!" But that's what Hachiman said. Then he found that his left hand was held up by the girl's soft hands.
"Do you want to be the bad guy who spurs everyone on? But it will be very hard,” Kushida showed a pitiful expression, which of course seemed to be comforting.
However.
"..." Hachiman. Obviously a few days ago, Kushida thought he was in the way, but now, she can freely enter and leave Horikita's dormitory.
'Does this idiot think she has conquered, the Horikita Suzune?'
Then he thought about whether the said person was still here?
So, Hachiman who was violated by Kushida's hand, quickly cast his eyes to the black-haired and fox-eyed girl aside.
Horikita had already filled in the old questions. But, she had borrowed an old version of the book, so she continued reading.
This is Horikita Suzune's room. So, obviously she has no problem reading in her room.
And. Hachiman also entrusted her to try to accept Kushida, but for her, she was still used to being alone.
“Then let's arrange it this way first”
Both Horikita and Kushida have no objection.
Because the money spent on buying the papers was reimbursed by Hachiman, meaning Kushida's virginity was still not harmed.
When the paper was finally handed out, she actively participated in filling the answers.
'So....Kushida's reputation will also be known to her classmates. This is very self-satisfying'
At the same time, She and Horikita seem to have...become [friends]. Then she would have achieved most of her goals.
Becoming a little safer. And Horikita Suzune.
"...." Um.
For this top student, she still couldn't understand how people could fail if they studied hard?
However, Suzune also participated in filling in the answers, and even borrowed the old version of the textbook to study it completely.
She clearly knew that her classmates were going to cheat, but Suzune finally chose to participate instead of being paranoid like before.
'This is also an aspect that has become slightly more rounded out' Hachiman thought to himself.
No longer has any intention of breaking Kushida's phone. She has indeed become a.....good girl.
___________
In this way. Time passes.
"Everyone, you have been studying hard these days, but I got a piece of news from the senior students.
Their written exams for last year in the second month of admission, are the same as those of the previous class of students.”
“And I got this test paper!”
During the physical education class, Hachiman announced a "gossip."
Then the students in the class immediately exploded.
"If that's the case..."
"Then why should we study... As long as I read the test paper, isn't it enough?" As a student in Class C, the mentality changed instantly.
"But it's a pity. I can only show you the paper three days before the exam starts." Hachiman immediately looked over at this NPC, he had a bad habit of always opening his mouth even before Ike, who was also quite dissatisfied with this person.
“Because now it's better to improve your academic ability first, because we can't do it forever. And buying those cheat sheets also requires 100,000 points.”
"Eh..." After hearing this number, the student who thought Hikigaya was a bit excessive and wanted to buy it straight from the upperclassmen immediately shut up.
"At the same time, this plan of using old questions seems to be a common secret among our senpai's.”
And if you buy it in such a big way, there are chances of being blackmailed?" That's it, Hachiman used the damn word, making people feel scared.
In this way. These annoying NPC's shut up instantly.
Because it costs 100,000 points, and they may be cheated or blackmailed by upperclassmen, the risk is too great....
It's better to wait for Hikigaya to give them the papers for free, 3 days before the exam starts. And there are many with quite a large amount of experience doing this kind of thing.
If you crazily memorize and practice questions 3 days before the exam, there should be no problem.
And only now, Karuizawa was able to understand what Hachiman means to ensure that she can definitely pass the exam.
"Kei-chan?!"
"Why do you keep looking at Hikigaya-kun in a daze?" A hot girl named Sato Maya, who was sitting next to Karuizawa, asked such a question when she saw her best friend was distracted.
Then she followed the other person's line of sight and saw Hikigaya.
"..." Karuizawa. She was ordered by Hachiman not to look at him casually.
But just now she was actually thinking about something. Only.
"I just think it's a bit incredible that Hikigaya-kun actually has 100,000 points to buy exam papers," Karuizawa decided it's better to use some truth inside her statement, “It makes people wonder, how many points he has, right?"
Everyone got 100,000 points in the first month of enrollment, and then on the 1st of the second month, they received 45,000 points from the school.
But Hikigaya can easily pay 100,000 points for consumption. Very shocking.
"Maybe he has other ways to earn points,” Although she often plays with Karuizawa and the others, her appearance is not buried among the cute girls.
This is Matsushita Chiaki.
It seems that she comes from a good family, has a rich experience in dressing and using perfume.
Belongs to the more mature type of the hot girl team.
"Didn't Kei say before that she saw Hikigaya-kun eating with a silver-haired lolita?" Matsushita asked out with slightly curious eyes.
In other words, Hikigaya-kun is actually...being kept by a silver-haired lolita from another class?
'Do you love eating soft rice?!' In this way.
After today, two rumors spread among the first graders.
One is that, Hikigaya-kun is being kept by a silver-haired lolita from another class.
The other is that the exam was based on old questions, but... they definitely couldn't do it.
They don't want to spend money to buy test papers or anything like that.
But it is quite possible to talk about exposing some information.
And Hachiman didn't stop this. It would be better to say that he did it on purpose.
Among them, Class A, Class B and Class C all knew about the existence of old test questions.
Then only, Ryuen's class was being ostracised, and Hachiman really wanted to stop this unethical behaviour!
