While thinking about Horikita Suzune's future, Kamio Tatsuya's eyes showed a hint of pity when he looked at her.
"What's with that look?"
"No, I just think your future might be really bad."
"That's none of your business."
Kamio Tatsuya spoke honestly, and Horikita Suzune's face turned dark.
Indeed, lacking points as she was, her life was quite miserable. She had only a few hundred private points left, and she would probably have to eat the mountain vegetable meal soon.
Huh?
Wait, maybe like the free meal, there might be free stuff in the food area. I'll go take a look after school.
Even though they weren't talking about the same thing, they strangely understood each other.
"Kamio-kun, can I bother you for a moment? To increase points, I want to talk about what to do next after school. I really hope you can join us, okay?"
Hirata Yosuke's eyes were full of hope.
After all, Kamio Tatsuya was the first to notice something was up. He hoped to use Kamio Tatsuya's wisdom.
Looking at Hirata Yosuke's sincere eyes, Kamio Tatsuya almost agreed right away.
But after thinking about it, he refused immediately. Did they really need to talk about ways to get more points?
Dude, are you obsessed?
"No, I have things to do after school. And shouldn't you just ask Chabashira-sensei about how to get more points?
Since only Class A can get special rights, the school must be encouraging competition between the four classes, so there will naturally be ways to get more points.
And there must be lots of chances. Even though Chabashira-sensei didn't say so, if you ask, she probably won't hide it."
Hearing Kamio Tatsuya's words, Hirata Yosuke seemed hesitant, then thought it seemed like a good idea.
"I see, I'll go ask later, thanks."
Hirata Yosuke felt happy.
Choosing to seek Kamio Tatsuya's advice was the right thing to do. Just one sentence pointed him in the direction of today's topic.
And for Kamio Tatsuya, he was willing to help with such a small thing with just one sentence. It's not bad to leave a good impression.
The free time Chabashira-sensei left behind ended quickly, and Class D returned to normal.
At least no one was yelling in class anymore.
Kamio Tatsuya could finally listen to the lesson properly.
But now that he thought about it, the teachers' teaching level at this school was very good. Even Kamio Tatsuya, whose basics weren't very solid, could keep up.
But keeping up was keeping up, and there were still many things he didn't understand.
And whether he could pass the exam smoothly depended on these things.
He had to find someone to help him with it.
Kamio Tatsuya looked around. Horikita Suzune seemed like a good choice. Her grades were good, and she was easy on the eyes.
Even though she had a bad temper, he was the customer!
Most importantly, she had no reason to refuse.
"Ahem, Horikita, I have a part-time job here that pays 1,000 points per hour. Want to think about it?"
Hearing this, Horikita Suzune frowned.
"What are you trying to say?"
"You should have seen my grades. Although I passed this time, I'm actually in a very risky spot. I don't want to be kicked out for failing the written test, so I'm thinking of hiring you as my tutor."
Kamio Tatsuya made his request without any shame. There's nothing embarrassing about not being good at studying. Everyone has a wild past.
One thousand points per hour. There are three weeks, or twenty days, until the midterm exams. If it's a thousand points every day, that's 20,000 points.
Horikita Suzune was a little tempted, because that way she wouldn't have to eat the mountain vegetable meal, and she wouldn't have to worry about her brother seeing her looking so bad.
Besides, he tricked her out of this money in the first place, so she wouldn't feel bad taking some of it back.
Also, she was going to study after school anyway, now she just had someone to tutor.
Also, this guy seems pretty smart. His grades weren't that bad before, he probably just wasn't studying hard enough, so he shouldn't give her too much trouble.
After finding several good reasons, Horikita Suzune finally convinced herself that this was a deal she could make.
"Okay, but I need to check your points first."
"No way." Kamio Tatsuya refused Horikita's request directly. "But I can pay you a deposit first before the tutoring."
He couldn't just show her his points.
Horikita Suzune looked at Kamio Tatsuya suspiciously, then nodded.
Anyway, her only goal was to make sure he could afford to pay.
"There are twenty days until the midterm exams, so I'll just pay you half of my private points in advance. I'll pay the rest after I see how it goes."
The negotiation ended, and Kamio Tatsuya transferred 10,000 points to Horikita.
Horikita was a little stunned looking at the 10,000 points that had just arrived.
"You're giving it to me so early, aren't you afraid I'll just take these 10,000 points and go back on my word?"
Kamio Tatsuya looked at her, his eyes full of mockery.
"I don't think you will. After all, Horikita Suzune, you wouldn't want your brother to know you became a liar for just 10,000 points, would you?"
Horikita Manabu was clearly Horikita Suzune's weakness. You could tell from all her previous actions that she respected him very much.
In other words, she definitely didn't want him to see her bad side. That was her weakness, clearly.
And it was too easy to deal with a guy like Horikita Suzune who had such an obvious weakness.
Just one sentence was enough to easily control her.
Sure enough, after Horikita Suzune gave him a warning look, she didn't say anything about going back on her word.
At lunchtime, the students in the class who had basically used up all their points started borrowing money from other people.
Of course, they didn't come to Kamio Tatsuya and Horikita Suzune.
Kamio Tatsuya was someone who had caused a violent incident in the class before, so basically no one dared to approach him.
As for Horikita Suzune, even before getting close, you could feel the aura of keeping people away from her.
In fact, she probably only talked a little more with the people who sat to her left and right.
Before class in the afternoon, Hirata Yosuke came to find Kamio Tatsuya.
"Kamio-kun, your suggestion was right, there really is a way to get more points."
"It's not something to be proud of. If you calmed down, you could definitely think of it too."
As they were talking, Kamio Tatsuya saw Horikita Suzune next to them seeming to perk up her ears, wanting to know the way to get more points.
"The closest way for us to get more points is the midterm exams. We can get the corresponding points based on the average score on the midterm exams."
Then Hirata explained in detail.
There are five main subjects on the midterm exams. Add up the average score of each subject and then divide by five to get the final points.
That is, the most you can get is no more than 100 points.
As for the lowest, it's hard to say.
If you used the small test as a reference, it would be about 64 points.
Converted into private points, that's 6,400 points. It's not a lot, but it's better than nothing. If you save a little, you don't have to eat the mountain vegetable meal every time.
For someone like Horikita Suzune who cooks her own food, the cost is even lower.
You can't even spend it all!
