76 Chapter 076: So you're so scheming, monopolizing ANHS!

Keyaki Mall Shopping Center, outside the convenience store.

Hikigaya found a free bench and was conducting market research.

Of course, it's not such a great thing, just sitting here in a daze.

There are roughly 480 students in the whole school.

There may have been dropouts in the higher grades, but he's not very clear, it shouldn't be too different.

Also consider the number of school staff.

Hmm.

This is not very clear either.

In any case,

Considering logistics costs, operating costs, electricity, water, and other miscellaneous things that are not understood, ANHS is definitely operating at a loss.

Each purchase.

Should strictly control the amount of goods.

Let the consumption of each month remain within a controllable range.

Although he doesn't understand very well.

But operating such a large school should do this, right?

Otherwise.

Wasting taxpayers' money and being a tax thief.

He is really going to report to the Ministry of Education.

That being said.

Perhaps it's because of the sports festival.

Even though school is over, Hikigaya still feels that there are fewer people on the street than usual, they should all stay in school to exercise.

The people in this school are really hardworking

"Let's give it a try."

Hikigaya walked into the convenience store and went to the counter.

"Excuse me, has the latest volume of 'Sword Art Online' arrived?"

"You should be talking about the 18th volume, it's already here, it's on that bookshelf over there."

"Thank you."

Hikigaya turned around and went to the bookshelf, took out the light novel.

Like MAX coffee, this kind of thing that doesn't require a high shelf life, the school generally purchases once a month.

Bulk purchases can reduce costs.

Therefore, the latest volume of light novels in the school is usually about half to one month later than the outside world, which is roughly fine.

"How much is it."

Hikigaya picked up the new volume and returned to the counter.

"Five hundred private points."

"Well...that...I want to ask if this book is only sold in this convenience store?"

"That's right, is there a problem?"

"Not really,"

After all, it's a closed school, it's impossible to be completely equal to the outside world. Considering the cost issue, large supermarkets also double as bookstores.

By the way,

Even in the outside world.

Convenience stores also sell light novels and comics, so there's no problem.

"Well, may I ask how many copies of this light novel are there?"

"Eh? I'm sorry, what do you mean by that?"

"Just asking how many copies of this book you have in stock."

"I'm sorry, sir, what do you mean by asking this?"

"Just asking should be okay."

Hikigaya said helplessly, that's why he hates work, why do you care so much.

"Well, we got 350 copies this time, is there a problem?"

Sure enough.

Hikigaya was suddenly excited.

There aren't many girls who read light novels, and adult office workers rarely waste their time on them.

The target customers for school light novels are basically all male.

Therefore,

Therefore, the monthly stock won't be much.

The remainder will be put into the library collection for free reading three months later.

However, when you come across an interesting novel, you always can't wait to turn to the next page, and even can't sleep because of excitement.

Few students would wait for three months to borrow from the library for five hundred personal points.

In fact,

Hikigaya had serious doubts.

Even Hikigaya seriously doubts that most students don't even know this, they may have never been to the library, or just use it as a place for reading clubs.

350 Books

This is obviously the number chosen by the school based on a large amount of data.

Even if there is a surplus, it won't be too much.

Simply put,

He can completely monopolize a popular small commodity with personal points.

Of course...

The price definitely can't be sold too high.

Otherwise, no one would buy it, but this method should be feasible.

"I want all these three hundred and fifty volumes."

"Huh?"

The clerk was slightly stunned and said with some confusion, "Excuse me, sir, could you please say it again?"

"I want all the volumes of this Sword Art Online."

Hikigaya showed a smile and said, "But, with so many books, I have to move them back in several days, there should be no problem, right?"

"Yes... there's no problem..."

The clerk was a bit puzzled and said, "But what's the use of buying so many, and..."

"Don't worry."

Hikigaya took out his phone and said proudly, "A total of 180,000 personal points, right? I can pay a deposit of 50,000 first, how about it?"

"It's 175,000..."

"Oh, how about it?"

"Sure."

The clerk reluctantly nodded.

Anyway, he can't control the students, as long as he does his own thing.

Hikigaya happily paid a deposit of 50,000.

They are all birds trapped in the ANHS cage, so they don't have to worry about the other party not keeping their word, and the other party doesn't need to worry about him breaking the contract.

"So these books, I'll move them into the counter first, and come back for them tomorrow?"

"Sure."

Hikigaya huffed and puffed as he moved the books into the counter.

He also did market research, and with the fame of the Sword Art Online, it should not be difficult to sell.

Even if it's a loss, it shouldn't be too much.

Next.

Next, Hikigaya bought a similar outfit to the clerk's uniform, and bought a work badge by the way. As long as he puts the work badge on his chest...

It probably won't be discovered by anyone... probably.

Starting tomorrow,

Monopolize ANHS!

Hikigaya set a greater goal for himself!

....

The next day.

Class 1-B.

After the math class, the bell rang for the end of the class.

In preparation for the next physical education class, everyone went to the changing room.

"Thump thump."

At this moment, Shibata suddenly knocked on Hikigaya's desk and whispered, "Hikigaya, please come out with me."

"..."

Hikigaya gave him a dead fish eye.

This is the line of a small gangster asking someone to go to the toilet, as expected, Shibata finally revealed his true colors.

"What's the matter?"

"Nothing, just borrow your time to come out with me."

Shibata looked in the direction of the girls and lowered his voice.

"Alright."

The two came to the corner of the corridor.

Seeing that there were not many people around, Shibata pinched his chin, his eyes deep and circled around him.

"What on earth do you want to do."

Hikigaya says somewhat speechlessly.

Is there something wrong with this guy's brain today.

"I checked online yesterday about how to attract the person you like."

"What?"

Hikigaya was shocked.

Scared, he quickly retreated to the wall and trembled a bit, "You you you...what do you mean?"

So Shibata is such a person, it's really terrifying. Thinking of this guy approaching him before, Hikigaya suddenly felt a chill.

"No no no, you misunderstood, my orientation is normal."

Seeing this, Shibata stopped circling and quickly explained:

"It said that there are generally three routines to attract the person you like, become a tsundere, or become a temperamental tiger that is not easy to conquer, or become a dog soaked in rain."

"So what?"

Hikigaya breathed a sigh of relief.

This guy wouldn't be calling him a dog, too hateful.

"I was just thinking."

Shibata was a bit confused, "Hikigaya, aren't you some kind of love master, using some advanced routines that I don't understand?"

"What do you mean?"

Hikigaya was even more speechless.

If I understood this routine, I wouldn't have been rejected by a girl in junior high school and become a laughingstock.

"Besides, what you just said seems to be about how women attract men, what does it have to do with me?"

"Is that so?"

Shibata scratched his head in confusion.

Hikigaya dared to assert that the other party was probably as innocent as him.

Unexpectedly,

Such an excellent Shibata has never had a girlfriend, it seems that this show-off is not so annoying.

"By the way, Hikigaya, you still don't know."

"Know what? If there's anything, please make it clear."

"The entry form."

Shibata was a bit puzzled, "How did you decide on your entry form?"

"I don't know, just participate in whatever."

Hikigaya didn't care, it was all just a formality anyway.

"Oh, is that so?"

Shibata scratched his head in embarrassment, "Alright, the next class is physical education, let's go change clothes quickly."

"..."

Hikigaya had no idea what this guy was doing.

He is simply sick.

....

On the sports field, 

Hikigaya was marching in step with the team, 

Participating in the entrance and exit training for the sports festival. 

He couldn't help but recall the sports meetings in junior high school, where there were always girls who liked to blame 'Hikigaya didn't practice well' for not getting high scores. 

It was simply annoying, 

and his mood suddenly worsened.

He was obviously very serious, and it was great that no one in Class B blamed him. 

With the physical education teacher announcing free activities,

Some boys borrowed grip strength testers. 

Although Ichinose's policy seemed to participate freely based on interest, it felt more like a competition to see who was stronger.

Hikigaya could only helplessly line up at the end.

When it was his turn, Hikigaya tried his best. 

[48.6 Kg]

Unfortunately,

The number on the grip strength tester was not ideal,

This is his strength.

Only slightly higher than the average. 

It was too difficult to get a ranking, so he simply gave up!

When everyone started their own training, Shibata was practicing running, and Ichinose was practicing throwing with a group of girls. 

Hikigaya was a bit restless and quietly came to Ichinose and said,

"Ichinose, can I bother you for a moment?"

"Eh? Sure, let's chat over there."

"No need, I just want to ask what events I participated in."

Although it felt strange to ask Ichinose about his own affairs, Hikigaya left it all to Ichinose. 

With his physical education results.

It wouldn't be surprising if he was passed over for all events. 

Such a simple question didn't require Ichinose to move to a separate conversation.

"I know."

Ichinose turned around and smiled brilliantly, "But, I want to chat with Hikigaya, is that okay?"

"Sure..."

Hikigaya followed Ichinose, and the two of them moved away from the class group to the grass of the football field. 

He really didn't know what Ichinose wanted to do.
