How do you judge if a student is excellent?
The OAA system, introduced in the second year at ANHS, scores students in four areas: academic ability, physical ability, nimble thinking, and social contribution.
Kushida Kikyo, who is one of the top students in terms of overall OAA ability among the second-year girls at Hikigaya’s school, was placed in the worst class, D, because she caused a class collapse during her middle school years.
Obsessed with the pleasure of being respected and noticed, she, who wasn’t good enough to be first in middle school, hid her dark emotions.
By smiling at everyone, being able to help anyone, and being able to talk to anyone about their troubles, she became friends with everyone and achieved her most dazzling position.
After accepting her friends’ dark secrets, she couldn’t confide in anyone to maintain her angelic persona, which led to immense stress.
Unable to bear it any longer, she anonymously complained and insulted people online.
By chance, a friend discovered her posts, and she lost her standing as a good friend.
She was then ganged up on by her classmates.
Kushida didn’t just lie down and take it after being ganged up on.
She chose to expose the true natures of others, causing the students in the class to attack each other and the class to fall apart.
“What do you want?” After the elevator arrived, Kushida grabbed his collar and pulled him into the elevator, pinning him against the wall in a corner.
As he was pulled closer, Hikigaya caught whiffs of a delicate fragrance from her.
Being cornered by a girl as incredibly cute as Kushida would normally make his heart pound like a rabbit, but her fierce, menacing eyes only sent a chill down his spine.
“There are cameras.
If you have a problem, we can talk in my room.” Pointing to the camera above the elevator, Kushida looked up and immediately let go of his collar.
Pushing open Kushida’s door, he pressed the button for the 4th floor.
When the elevator arrived, Kushida obediently followed him into the room and closed the door.
Kushida is a very capable person.
Being good at both academics and physical education is just one aspect; what’s most impressive is that while others count their friends in ones and twos, she counts hers in the dozens or even hundreds.
A student this excellent is highly sought after at this school.
Placing the bag of daily necessities on the desk, Hikigaya sat directly in the room’s only chair, maintaining a poker face as he sized up Kushida.
Her fierce and stern gaze indicated that she wasn’t in a very good mood at the moment.
“First, take out your phone, unlock it, and put it on the table.” To show his sincerity, he first took out his phone, unlocked it, and showed it to Kushida to prove he wasn’t recording, then placed it on the table.
“Tch.” Clicking her tongue, Kushida also took out her phone, unlocked it, tapped a few times, and then showed it to him to prove she wasn’t recording before placing it on the table.
Kushida isn’t a simple girl.
The fact proved that his caution was not unwarranted.
In his opinion, Kushida is suitable as his helper.
Although Horikita Suzune is superior in overall ability, Kushida is much easier to control than the proud Horikita, and there are also reasons to persuade Kushida to transfer classes with him.
Based on his prediction, it would be impossible to force someone as “cautious” as Ayanokouji Kiyotaka to withdraw by being in the same class.
The only way to suppress him in a lower class and defeat him would be through a class transfer, which would allow them to best utilize and take away the members of Class D.
“Horikita-san rejected your request to be friends without any hesitation today, didn’t she?
Kushida-san, I remember Horikita is from the same middle school as you.
With her cold and elegant aura, and her incredibly cute face, she’s undoubtedly the most dazzling girl in Class D.” Seeing Kushida’s increasingly grim expression, Hikigaya continued in a nonchalant tone.
“Her academic and athletic performance in middle school was also the best in the school.
I assume she’s the number one girl in the class.” “I don’t know where you got your information,” Kushida said, stepping forward to close the distance between them until their feet were almost touching.
“But you must need me for something if you’ve sought me out like this.” “It’s not necessarily you, but you’re a more suitable choice.” Hikigaya had experienced too many attempts to regain control through intimidation and words.
Compared to someone else, Kushida is too young.
“At least Horikita is stronger than you.” “Horikita is strong, Horikita is strong, then why don’t you go to her?” “I have leverage over you.
You said in your self-introduction that you want to be friends with everyone.
You wouldn’t want your dark past from middle school exposed, would you?” Seeing Kushida speechless, Hikigaya felt he had sufficiently broken her spirit.
Next, he would reveal information not publicly disclosed by the school, such as the principles of student placement, the existence of class points and special exams, the “benefits” only Class A receives, and that a transfer class costs twenty million private points.
“Twenty million private points for a transfer, so you plan to transfer to Class A?” Upon learning this information, Kushida began to deduce on her own.
“Even if two people worked together for three years, they wouldn’t earn half of twenty million.” Collecting twenty million points would be almost impossible for an individual, but it’s different for a class.
With one thousand class points, a class could receive forty-eight million from the school per year.
With the existence of free meal assistance, it would be possible to gather the transfer fees for two people in an extreme scenario.
Hikigaya’s target class is Class B.
Sakayanagi Arisu, the leader of Class A, and Ryuen Kakeru of Class C are both excessively arrogant.
He wants to be a decision-maker, not a strategist.
In this regard, Ichinose Honami, the leader of Class B, is not as assertive, and most students in Class B are well-behaved.
Raising private points shouldn’t be difficult.
“Fundraising for the class would be simple, and it’s not twenty million we need, but forty million.
I want you to be my helper and transfer classes with me.” Hikigaya tapped the table.
“Just like you hate Horikita, there’s someone in Class D I hate.
So, not only do I not plan to lead Class D to Class A, but I intend to crush Class D in the lower classes.” “When will forty million points be collected?
And won’t people call you a traitor if you transfer from Class D?” Kushida had her own concerns.
Transferring classes doesn’t align with her public image.
“After the summer vacation, I will provide you with twenty million points for a transfer.
Before that, I will transfer first and earn enough private points in the special exams.” Hikigaya stretched, his relaxed demeanor conveying his confidence.
During the first academic year, there are two special exams where there are opportunities to earn a large amount of private points.
Especially the second one, which guarantees several million private points and hundreds of class points.
If he, knowing the answers, were to fail, he might as well kill himself.
“As for the reason for transferring classes, you can say anything you want, like you fell for someone in another class and want to be by their side.” “Why should I believe you have this ability, and that you’ll give me twenty million private points as promised?” “There’s no downside for you if I fail, is there?
It’s a beautiful thing to have a chance to leave Class D just by secretly helping me with a few things, isn’t it?” At this point, a slight smile unintentionally appeared on Hikigaya’s face.
“My fellow student, you don’t want your middle school past to be…”
