17 - Exams and Results

Exams Day

Finally the time came when the exams, because before they had gotten the old exam questions they did not look panicked like they did at the beginning. Kushida distributed papers containing last year's exam questions to all students although not all of them wanted to accept that. For example I, I did not accept the paper because I did not need it, but it was also not my goal to get a perfect score from the results of seeing last year's exam, which is the same problem as now.

Kushida could not have done it all unless someone asked for it. Means there is someone who has an idea like that but he told Kushida to replace his role so he would not attract attention. I remember the name Kushida recently because it is active in class and often asks me to talk even if only briefly. I also remember Sudou's name because he is a student who often causes problems with other classes.

'The only one who can do that without wanting to attract attention is ...' I thought as I glanced at Ayanokouiji who was working on the test.

Yes, I can be as relaxed as I am now because I have finished my exam. Because I don't want to get a perfect score so I fill in some of it, part of it I don't do. The value that I want is still the same, I'm not predicting how much I will get but I will determine how much.

If what the student council president says is true that Ayanokouiji gets the same score. Then I can be sure that he is also the same as me, he determines what value will get.

Even though it looks like he doesn't care about this class, but actually does he care? But is there any other intention for him to do that? He was not the type of person who would help his friend, or you could say he did not consider all of them as friends. If he is like that then he is the same as me before, regards humans as tools.

* Sighs * ... That didn't matter, because he wasn't my enemy for now and also we were in the same class. Even more important is waiting for the results of the exam this time, is there anyone who gets a red score and is issued or not.

.....

Announcement day of exam results

Now it's time for our grades to be announced by Sensei. Sensei put our grades on the board and all students could see the grades they got. As I thought that I get above average value. I got a score of 55 in all of those exams, but the score still entered into the red score or I passed the test.

"Yey !!!!!"

"Yeaaaa !!!!"

Many students shouted happily because they got results like that. But do they not realize that what they are doing is cheating, yes even though I don't care about that. As I have said many times that humans will do anything for their interests.

One by one the students thanked Kushida, more precisely the male students who were praising her. Happy because the achievements of others were a shame, it wasn't Kushida who did all that but Ayanokouiji.

"Ayanokouiji-Kun. What exactly have you done?" Said Horikita who might be the same as me, she knew that it wasn't Kushida who planned this.

I also looked at Ayanokouiji because I was curious about what he was doing to get that problem. Maybe he will talk about his meeting with Ichinose, about why he could get that problem, surely he did something to the owner of the question before, you could say he bought it, or threatened him?

Then Ayanokouiji told about the incident three days ago where he saw Sudou nearly fighting with Ryuuen and was stopped by Ichinose. The incident happened in the tennis field where Ayanokouiji accidentally met with Sudou. Ayanokouiji invited Sudou to study together but he refused and chose basketball practice at his club.

Ayanokouiji also related that he and Kushida met with a Senpai to negotiate. He bought the exam questions from the Senpai with his 15,000 points and told Kushida to print the questions and distribute the questions to students in class D.

Turns out he also did something like buy something between students? Just like me who sold the recording to the student council president.

"Kushida is perfect for that role" Said Ayanokouiji casually as he leaned his head in his hands.

"No need to be praised" Horikita's quick reply, which argued that Kushida did not need to be praised.

"Honestly, I'm impressed. I never thought you could get this high score. I acknowledge your hard work. But ..." Said Chabashira-Sensei while walking towards the blackboard and making a red line there.

The red line is the average value which means the value below the red line is the red value. I saw Sudou's name there, why did he get a red score even though he had the exam questions before. Maybe because he doesn't understand that, humans really can't be called equal, if this is the case, Sudou will certainly be out of school.

"... You got a red score, Sudou." Connecting Chabashira-Sensei, there is a Sudou score of 39 in English language. Of course this surprised Sudou and the others fell silent.

"Don't joke!, why are my grades Red!?" Said Sudou in a high tone while standing and hitting the table.

... it's obvious that your grades were brought to an average ...

"The minimum score on the midterms this time is 40. The average value for the midterms is 79.6. If divided by 39.8. Because of rounding up, then you have to get 40 to pass. We did only know a minute, but your business is good. I will give you your letter of return after school. " Chabashira-Sensei explained about the exam this time.

"I ... was expelled?" Said Sudou, who knew he would be expelled from this school.

Others just stay quiet seeing that, not they don't want to defend but they don't know how. But the class president finally stood up to say something.

"Wait a minute! Is there no other way to save him?" The class president said.

"Red value means that you leave." Chabashira-Sensei's short reply.

"Is there nothing we can do? We can't let Sudou-Kun ... Just get thrown out" This time it was Kushida who stood and spoke. She can't let Sudou get kicked out, but what do we mean?

... I don't mind if he gets kicked out and I also know there are others who don't mind either ... But I just have to accept it because in the end he is my classmate.

"Rules are rules. Give it up" Chabashira-Sensei answered. These words made the class students just silent.

... Haaahh ....... Maybe it doesn't matter if I help this class once ... Because in the end I'm also part of this class

"There is" I said quietly but was heard by all students because the atmosphere was quiet in the class. Of course my words made all students also looked at me.

"What do you mean, Sakayanagi-Kun?" Asked Kushida who did not understand my point.

"There's one thing you can do if you don't want him to be expelled ... But I don't think you can do it," I said honestly. I can give them advice but I'm not sure they can fulfill that.

"What is that?" This time the one asking is the class president.

Hmmm .... Say ..... No .... Say ... No .... Just say it because I also want to know their decision.

"Just buy one test score for him from Sensei," I said, giving them advice.

Because I already know that in this school anything can be bought with points so the test scores should also be bought. Hearing my suggestion, most of them were surprised not to think about it.

"Hooo ... So you think I can sell the test scores?" Chabashira-Sensei said while smiling at me.

"I don't know ... Because at this school anything can be bought by points ... And also ....." I said as I stood up and walked towards Sensei before finally heading for the exit.

"Sakayanagi, where do you want to go?" Sensei asked who saw me wanting to leave the classroom.

"I want to go to the toilet," I continued

I went out of the room and activated my walking aids, while in the classroom still silent thinking about my suggestion earlier. Every human being has a selfish nature, I do not know what results they will determine from my suggestion.

Even though I know some of them still have points that can be said to be a lot but they will not necessarily give points to Sudou. Moreover, I don't know the price Sensei will give if she really wants to sell that value.

...

<3rd POV>

Each student is still thinking about Ren's advice and there are some who see Ren leaving class. While Chabashira-Sensei just smiled seeing Ren leave class.

'He is indeed an attractive child' The inner Chabashira-Sensei aimed at Ren.

Because Chabashira-Sensei already knew about Ren's problem so she wasn't really surprised by this.

"Sensei, does what Sakayanagi-Kun say can happen?" Hirata asked.

"It could be ..... As Sakayanagi said that in this school points can buy anything ..... For this time I can sell value to Sudou" Chabashira-Sensei replied

"Sensei, how many points should we spend?" Hirata asked again.

"Hmmm ..... I will sell it for 100,000 points" replied Chabashira-Sensei who stated the price of the value she was selling.

Of course the price made many students surprised, because it was an expensive price for them. None of their points reach that number and there are even those who only have two-digit points. Even though you can buy it with a donation, but still their points will be reduced.

"Isn't that too cruel?" Said Hirata in a weak tone.

"That's also the rule ... And in the morning it's over here. Sudou, after school I'll wait in the teacher's office." Chabashira-Sensei said while leaving the classroom still silent.

"Hey, you guys take it for granted? Can we not make a suggestion from Sakayanagi-Kun? At this rate, Sudou-Kun will be expelled," said Kushida who tried to help so that Sudou was not expelled.

The students said nothing, they were still silent. Even though they collect points to buy values ​​for Sudou, they are not necessarily enough points. Sudou also can't blame anyone he can only stand limply in front of the blackboard.

"Even if we follow Sakayanagi-Kun's advice and buy values ​​for Sudou-Kun, will the points we collect be enough?" Said Karuizawa who understood the reason why Ren said that this suggestion might not be possible.

Even though the points they collected are enough, it won't be fair. There are those who contribute a lot of points, while others do not contribute. So in the end Class D is in a dilemma.

Not long after, Ayanokouiji stood up and left the classroom on the grounds of going to the toilet. Before he left he gave Horikita a sign that he wanted to talk to her so a few minutes after Ayanokouiji left Horikita also came out.

....

Roof

How many times has Chabashira-Sensei been located, she is some distance from the door. She knew that someone was leaning against the wall near the door. The one who leaned, of course, was Ren, who after going to the toilet went straight to the roof.

The reason why Ren was on top was because he wanted to confirm something before Chabashira-Sensei finally appeared. Therefore Ren was convinced that class D did not do his advice.

"In the end, humans are still humans, right?" Said Ren who argued about the results obtained. The point is they are selfish.

"Your advice wasn't done by them, so what are you going to do next?" Chabashira-Sensei said without looking at Ren, he was now smoking a cigarette.

"Do you think is like that, Sensei?" Ren said with a smile that made Chabashira-Sensei turn towards him.

"What do you mean?" Chabashira-Sensei asked because she didn't understand the meaning of Ren.

"Humans are selfish, but not all of them" Ren replied, still showing his smile.

Not long after from the door came Ayanokouiji and Horikita. Ren knew that they would appear because he heard the sound of footsteps, about who they were, Ren guessed Ayanokouiji and Horikita because they were both natural people to do this.

"This is what it means," Ren said, returning a small smile from Chabashira-Sensei.
