Chapter 67 Come to the Office After School

As the entire class D erupted in cheers, only three people who sat in the back row: Fang Li, Horikita Suzune, and Ayanokouji Kiyotaka. They gazed at the score sheet posted on the blackboard, and fell into silence.

The reason was simple.

If this month's class score really was like this, then the current situation was somewhat abnormal.

The students in the class were still caught up in their excitement over the increase in their class score, and hadn't yet realized it.

But sooner or later, this anomaly would be discovered.

Chabashira Sae didn't point this out. Instead, she said something like she always did, like a bucket of cold water.

"Don't get too excited. The points of the other classes have also increased, so the gap between you hasn't narrowed."

Indeed.

While Class D had increased its class points by 87 points, the points of Classes A, B, and C had also increased more or less, and none of them had decreased.

"As I said before, this is purely because of the reward for the midterm exam. There won't be such good news next month."

Chabashira Sae said this and looked at Horikita Suzune.

"Aren't you disappointed, Horikita?"

Chabashira Sae asked Horikita Suzune tentatively.

But Horikita Suzune didn't show any signs of disappointment.

"Although it's frustrating that the gap hasn't narrowed, I'm not at the point of disappointment yet." Horikita Suzune said in her usual cool style, "After all, I've gained something from this announcement."

Horikita Suzune's words drew the attention of the whole class, including Chabashira Sae.

"Something?" Kushida Kikyou asked quickly, "What kind of thing did you gain, Horikita-san?"

Kushida Kikyou asked this question on behalf of the whole class.

Horikita Suzune didn't conceal anything and answered directly.

"Since there are rewards for class points in the midterm exam, there will definitely be opportunities for bonus points in various other exams in the future." Horikita Suzune said frankly, "It's not likely to increase class points by just daily behavior, only by winning first place in important exams can we significantly reduce the gap with other classes."

That's right.

Didn't Fang Li say it before?

"In the S system, there must be rules related to the scores achieved by various classes in various exams, right?"

"If being late, absent, and various classroom discipline are "deductions," then the scores of various exams must be related to "additions."

"Next, the school should give opportunities to shorten the gap."

In view of this, exams were the best time for the four classes to truly compete.

The 100 class points awarded for the midterm exam rewards proved this point perfectly.

This was Horikita Suzune's gain.

"So, may I ask a question?" Horikita Suzune raised her hand and asked, "When will the next important exam be?"

This was the thing that Horikita Suzune most wanted to confirm at the moment.

But...

"I have also said it before, right?"

Chabashira Sae remained unmoved and expressed her indifference.

"Don't worry, what belongs to you will be yours."

This means that Chabashira Sae cannot answer this question.

"Is that so?"

Horikita Suzune realized this and stopped asking questions, falling silent once again.

Fang Li and Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, who were sitting on either side of her, looked at each other and conveyed a message through their eyes.

"It's time for someone to notice the 'abnormality', right?"

That's what they meant.

And the students of Class D did not disappoint Fang Li and Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's expectations this time.

"May I ask a question too, Chabashira-sensei?"

Hirata Yousuke raised his hand as if he wanted to replace Horikita Suzune.

Then he asked a very important question.

"Since our class points this month were not fully deducted, why weren't private points credited?"

Yes.

That was the abnormality.

The students in the class reacted one after another.

"Right!"

"Since the points were not fully deducted, why weren't private points credited?"

"This doesn't make sense!"

The students began to make noise.

If Class D had 87 points left this month and not fully deducted, then 8700 points should have been credited to the student terminal of each D class student.

But today, not a single student in Class D had an increase in private points.

If this wasn't considered an abnormality, then what was?

Chabashira Sae explained this point.

"Due to an unexpected dispute, the private points for the entire first grade will be issued later this month. You need to wait a little longer."

Chabashira Sae's explanation stunned the whole class.

Then they all complained.

"Delayed?"

"Is it true?"

"Isn't this the school's fault?"

"This caused us losses, right?"

The students made extremely dissatisfied complaints, making the whole classroom full of grievances.

Knowing that they actually had private points that they thought were gone, but were delayed because of an unexpected incident, the D class students who urgently needed private points could not help feeling dissatisfied.

Even if each person only had less than 10,000 private points this month, they were still dissatisfied.

Especially Ike Kanji, Yamauchi Haruki, and Sudou Ken, who were extremely dissatisfied.

"Isn't this a scam?"

"Is there no compensation?"

"This is not our problem, right?"

Ike Kanji, Yamauchi Haruki, and Sudou Ken expressed their dissatisfaction one after another.

In response, Chabashira Sae responded with a poker face.

"This is the school's decision. I am just a homeroom teacher and cannot do anything. If you are not satisfied, you can complain to the school. It is not an area that I am responsible for."

Chabashira Sae pushed all the responsibility away.

"Once the dispute is resolved, the school will immediately issue private points. Just be patient."

At this point, the students in the class could no longer continue to complain to Chabashira Sae and could only return to a state of calm, feeling very unhappy.

At this moment, Chabashira Sae's tone suddenly changed.

"Oh, by the way," she said abruptly.

"Nanaya, come to the office after school."

The sudden announcement made Fang Li slightly startled. The students in the class were also surprised and focused their attention on Fang Li.

Under the gaze of the whole class, Fang Li looked at Chabashira Sae with confusion.

Chabashira Sae did not make any further indication but kept her gaze fixed on Fang Li, apparently waiting for his response.

Fang Li could only nod in response.

"I understand," he said.

Only after receiving this reply did Chabashira Sae finish the announcement and begin preparing for class.

Fang Li picked up his textbook, but his mind was wondering.

What could have happened?

Well, he would have to confirm after school.
