ANHS students live in dormitory buildings off-campus.
Male and female students share the same building, with girls on the upper floors and boys on the lower floors.
Although the dorm rooms are small, they are fully equipped.
In the rooms, which are about the size of a few tatami mats, Hikigaya had already seen off his first batch of visitors.
With Kushida’s help, around 6:20 PM, the central figure of Class B, Ichinose Honami, and her strategist-like assistant, Kanzaki Ryuji, visited his dorm.
In less than half an hour, they struck a deal for information worth two million private points.
Both Ichinose and Kanzaki are students with sharp judgment.
After Hikigaya presented the information first, they quickly realized that its value to them was far greater than two million.
Just the competition between the four classes for higher rankings holds significant value.
Especially the fact that students will learn to be serious in class to avoid losing class points, the value is more than just two million points.
Placing the information deal contract with Class B on the table, Hikigaya didn’t have to wait long before the two leaders of Class A, Sakayanagi Arisu and Katsuragi Kohei, also arrived in his room.
Hikigaya continued his plan of presenting information first and then demanding money.
Class B’s leader is kind, so he presented information first.
Class A’s leader, however, is proud.
Information is the basis of decision-making, a fact Hikigaya knew because he understood their personalities, which is why he dared to do this.
“As expected of the only student in the first year to be in the student council, Secretary-kun.” The petite girl sitting on his bed offered an elegant smile.
“May I ask how many points it cost to buy a student council secretary?
I’d like to buy one for the unsuccessful classmate Katsuragi too.” Class A is still divided, with their support ratings nearly equal.
Therefore, their relationship is not harmonious.
“Katsuragi’s failure to be elected was not his personal fault.
If the deal is completed, I can also provide some information related to the student council.” Hikigaya didn’t want to get involved in their leadership struggle yet; he just wanted to make money today.
“Although I’m sure I can deduce this school’s information in a few days too.” The girl with shoulder-length silver hair took off her beret, held it to her chest, and bowed slightly.
“You win this time.
I agree to the deal.” “I also agree to the deal, but I’d like to propose another trade.” Katsuragi Kohei also had his own ideas.
If the information Hikigaya provided could be kept from Class B, it would be of immense benefit to their Class A.
However, Sakayanagi was unhappy about this point; she wanted the thrill of battle.
“Don’t do anything unnecessary.
Class B is nothing.” “Underestimating others is not a good thing.
As a leader, I have to be responsible for the students of Class A.” “Class B was here before you,” Hikigaya said, gesturing to the contract on the table.
Wanting to finish the deal quickly, he directly revealed the student council information.
“There is a difference in philosophy between Student Council President Horikita Manabu of Class 3-A and Vice President Nagumo Miyabi of Class 2-A.
The president fears that first-year students will be led astray by Nagumo Miyabi, so he has refused all applications from first-year students.” “The position of student council secretary was obtained through private communication with the president and did not cost any points.
You can join the student council with his approval, or through Vice President Nagumo.” Although Hikigaya gave him one hundred thousand private points, Horikita Manabu returned it that same night.
Horikita Manabu’s condition at the time was merely to test his abilities; a mere hundred thousand points were not enough to make him sell his position.
“The student council has a great deal of power and can even interfere in special exams involving class points.
Horikita Manabu’s philosophy is team-based combat, while Nagumo Miyabi, the scheduled student council president for the next term, advocates for individual strength.” “That’s about it,” Hikigaya said, picking up his water cup and taking a sip.
He was a bit thirsty after talking so much.
“Individual strength supremacy, that’s not bad either,” Sakayanagi said, standing up with the support of her cane.
She had a congenital heart condition, making her weak and only able to walk with a cane.
After signing the contract Hikigaya had prepared, Sakayanagi also bid farewell and left.
Katsuragi followed closely behind.
The next person was Ryuen Kakeru of Class C.
After seeing them out, Hikigaya sprawled on his bed like a starfish, recalling the softened gaze Katsuragi Kohei had when looking at Sakayanagi’s retreating back.
As expected, Katsuragi Kohei was also a gentle man.
Although he had a stern and majestic face and a shiny bald head, he would criticize classmates for saying hurtful things in the morning, hoping they would change, and he didn’t resent Sakayanagi, who was constantly clashing with him.
It would be great if he could recruit Katsuragi.
In the past, at the end of the first year, Katsuragi, because his friend was expelled by Sakayanagi, was tempted by Ryuen Kakeru to transfer to Class C in an attempt to educate Sakayanagi.
Unfortunately, at that time, he wouldn’t have had twenty million.
The special exam at the end of the first year was purely to annoy students.
Without twenty million, at least one student would be expelled.
“Explode, you garbage school.” Rolling over and sitting up, Hikigaya sent a text message invitation to Ryuen Kakeru of Class C, asking him to bring Class C’s Shiina Hiyori along.
Ryuen Kakeru was an intelligent thug who ruled Class C with violence.
Hikigaya was also afraid he might suddenly lose his temper and beat him up.
Shiina Hiyori was his insurance.
He had known Shiina Hiyori from seeing her reading in the library.
He got to know her better during a previous attack by Class C on their class.
Through their conversation, he learned she was a smart girl and belonged to the cautious faction.
When the two arrived, wanting to avoid pleasantries with Ryuen Kakeru, Hikigaya directly showed them the contracts signed by Class A and Class B to purchase information, asking if they wanted to buy it.
Ryuen Kakeru’s credibility was too low, so Hikigaya didn’t dare to do cash on delivery.
“Just sign this contract, and it’s done, right?” Ryuen Kakeru slouched onto his desk, “You have Shiina’s information too, so you should understand the consequences of fooling me.” Sitting on the chair in front of the desk, Hikigaya slid his chair next to Shiina Hiyori.
“The information is definitely worth the price.
The student who defrauded other students of private points last time has already been expelled.” If there was any problem with the information, Ryuen would definitely let him know what an outlaw was.
After Ryuen signed and reviewed the information, Shiina, who had remained silent since entering, took the white paper with the recorded information.
After a long look, she nodded at Ryuen.
Although Ryuen Kakeru was a tyrant, he paid attention to every student in his class.
Shiina’s judgment was something he trusted.
“How many points does it cost to get transfer qualifications?” Ryuen Kakeru asked, propping his chin with his hand.
“Ten million?
Twenty million?” The points that could avoid expulsion and allow for transfers were not included in the information, but Ryuen had likely inferred it from Hikigaya’s actions.
“Twenty million.” “All the private points you get from selling information go to you.
How about I pay twenty million to buy you over to Class C?” Ryuen jumped off the desk and walked in front of him, hands in his pockets.
“The ultimate victory belongs to me.
You just need to stand behind me.” Ryuen’s words were as firm as his current gaze, giving people the feeling that following him would lead to victory.
