Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

"Yes, I admit that you really tried hard. But——"

Facing the gazes of everyone in Class D, Chabashira Sae sneered, took out a red pen, and drew a red line on Sudo Ken's English score.

"what……?"

Sudou made such a dumbfounded sound.

"What...what, what is going on?" Everyone else was also looking at the scene in confusion.

"Sudo, I'm sorry, you failed."

Chabashira Sae announced the final result to Sudo in a calm voice.

"..."

After a brief silence, Sudo Ken immediately slammed the table and stood up: "What? Are you kidding? Why did I fail?!"

The other students also looked at Chabashira Sae in confusion, because most of them remembered that Chabashira Sae said last time that the average score of the midterm exam was 32 points.

At present, Sudo has scored 39 points, which should mean he has passed.

Faced with this situation, Horikita Suzune frowned immediately.

Because she recalled what Ichinose had said to her before, Chabashi Sae, the lousy D-class teacher, had obviously hidden a lot of things from them!

Now, this wrong average score of the midterm exam is obviously caused by the other party's concealment!

Chapter 137: Hikigaya, have you guessed all this?

Sudo was deemed to have failed, which had a huge impact on the entire D class, and the atmosphere in the classroom turned from joy to turmoil.

Everyone was confused as to why Sudo's score was over 32 points but was still defined as failing.

Only Hikigaya.

He looked silently in the direction of his head teacher, as if he had already seen such a future.

Chabashira Sae didn't care about the students' attitudes at all. He stared at Sudou coldly and made a decisive statement:

"Sudo, you failed the English test, which means that this is the end for you."

Sudo was naturally unwilling to admit this, "Don't be ridiculous, a failing grade is 32 points! I should have passed the standard!"

"Did I ever say that a failing grade is thirty-two?"

"No, no, no, teacher, you said it! Right everyone!"

Seeing this, Ike Kanji shouted in support of Sudo.

"That's right."

"I remember the teacher said that 32 points is a failing grade."

"But it seems that the conversation at that time was that the failing score in the previous grade was 32 points. Could it be that the failing score this year has become higher? Is this true or false?"

Everyone in Class D immediately started a heated discussion about Sudou's problem.

Seeing this, Chabashira Sae continued in a cold voice:

"To be honest, the standard for failing the midterm exam is less than 40 points, which means Sudou missed one point. What a pity."

"Four, forty points?!"

"I've never heard of that!"

"Why is it so high?"

Sudo and even the students in Class D were all dissatisfied at this moment. No one could accept that the passing score was suddenly raised from 32 points to 40 points.

This is not only to help Sudou, but also to protect the students' own rights.

"In that case, let me tell you the criteria for failing in this school."

Chabashira Sae gave a cold smile and wrote a simple equation on the blackboard, which showed the numbers - 79.3÷2 = 39.65.

Facing everyone's skeptical expressions, Chabashira Sae calmly stated the conclusion: "Everyone's passing score is essentially the class average divided by two. This time the class average is higher than the previous average, so this is the result."

After Chabashira Sae's voice fell, the entire classroom fell into a brief silence.

At this moment, Horikita Suzune stared at Hikigaya in front of her, "Is that why you asked me to get a low score?"

"..."

Feeling the pressure from Horikita Suzune, Hikigaya answered as nonchalantly as possible: "I didn't guess the reason directly, I just made a hypothesis and executed it."

"Humph……"

Horikita Suzune accepted Hikigaya's explanation.

She really didn't believe that Hikigaya could have guessed in advance that the passing score would be the class average.

Meanwhile, Sudo stood there in a daze.

"This is a lie, right?... Does that mean... I... I'm going to be expelled from school?"

"Although this period of time is short, thank you for your hard work, Sudo." Chabashira Sae reported calmly, "After school, you will be asked to submit a withdrawal application. You will also need to be accompanied by your guardian. I will make the contact later. The rest of the students have done very well and have undoubtedly passed. In order to avoid failing the next final exam, you must continue to improve yourself."

After hearing Chabashira Sae's summary, Hirata Yosuke suddenly spoke up:

"Teacher...can I see Sudou-san's answer sheet?"

"Even if you read it, there's no place to correct the mistakes!"

"It's okay, I just wanted to make sure."

Chabashira Sae naturally took out Sudo's English test paper and handed it to Hirata Yosuke.

Although Hirata is disliked by Sudo, he is checking the papers for him diligently at this moment, hoping to find loopholes in the marking.

However, he finally let out a helpless sigh.

"Nothing... has been corrected."

"It seems that the class meeting can end here."

Chabashirasaeda spoke calmly.

"...Chabashira-sensei, can I ask you one more question?"

Suddenly, Horikita Suzune, who had remained silent until now, raised her slender arms.

In her past campus life so far, she has never taken the initiative to speak up.

The entire D class was stunned by this unusual scene.

Hikigaya also looked surprised, but then he felt relieved, as if his silly child had finally grown up.

"Horikita, this is really rare, you actually raised your hand to ask a question, what's the matter?"

In response to Chabashi Sae's question, Horikita first glanced at Hikigaya, who was unwilling to show off, with dissatisfaction, and then spoke to himself: "Teacher, I calculated the average score of the last exam to be 64.4 points, and divided it by two, which is 32.2. The passing score of the last exam is 32 points, which contradicts the reality that you think Sudo, who scored 39 points, failed."

After talking with Hikigaya and confirming that the passing score was the class average, she immediately calculated the average score of the previous exam and raised her own questions.

"Yes, that's true."

"If we follow the last rule, then you will fail the midterm exam if you don't score 39 points!"

The people in the class also reacted.

Chabashira Sae couldn't help but smile when he saw this and said, "I see, you seemed to have anticipated that Sudou's grades would be dangerous, so only his English score was so low."

"Horikita, you..."

Sudou and even everyone in Class D were slightly stunned.

When they cast their eyes on the paper posted on the blackboard, they immediately discovered that although Horikita had full marks in four of the five subjects, only her English score was extremely low, at 51 points.

Everyone realized that Horikita lowered her grades as much as possible in order to lower her average English score.

Horikita didn't care about other people's looks and continued to stare at Chabashi Sae.

"I'm sorry, Horikita, there's an error in your calculation. The school rounds off the decimal point when calculating the failing standard, so the last test was judged as 32 points, and this time it was 40 points. This is the answer."

"Then you have no more questions, right? Go and prepare to withdraw from school, Sudou."

Chabashira Sae calmly made the final announcement and turned around.

After the door slammed shut, the classroom was enveloped in silence.

All the students looked at each other at this moment, feeling overwhelmed by the fact that Sudou was about to drop out.

Sudo himself was in even greater confusion, not knowing how to face reality.

Even Horikita Suzune slumped her shoulders, looking helpless.

Facing all this, Hikigaya couldn't help but sigh and slowly turned his head: "If Sudo is expelled, the goal of being promoted to Class A will be shattered."

"Are you trying to mock me at this time?"

For the first time, Horikita's voice sounded somewhat weak, and even her usual sharp tongue and aggressiveness had lessened a bit.

Hikigaya looked at the slightly fragile girl, sighed and said, "I just want to tell you a little hint - Chabashira teacher once said that this school is a school of strength supremacy, and in the school, there is nothing that cannot be bought with points."

"In other words, in this school, points can be used to buy anything."

Chapter 138: I’ll sell this one point of Sudo to you for 300,000 points!

Hikigaya's words instantly awakened Horikita Suzune. The girl looked at him with complicated eyes, then immediately stood up from her seat.

"Are you going to see Chabashira-sensei?"

"Yes."

Looking at the furious Horikita, Hikigaya nodded slightly. He felt that the matter should be over here, so he concentrated on reading the novel in his hand.

But what he didn't expect was that a force suddenly came from the back of his neck, and Horikita Suzune pulled him up from his seat and said forcibly: "Come on, come with me to find the homeroom teacher!"

"Why, why do you want to take me with you?"

"Do you have any opinion?!"

"..."

Hearing Horikita's oppressive and chilling words, Hikigaya didn't dare to say a word in reply and could only raise his hands helplessly and choose to surrender.

The two of them left the scene immediately while everyone in Class D was still in a state of confusion.

They quickly left the classroom and headed towards the first-year teacher's office. They thought Chabashira Sae should be in the office by now.

But when they reached the first floor, they saw Chabashira-sensei standing in the corridor staring out the window, as if he was deliberately waiting for someone there.

Moreover, before Hikigaya and the others, a student from Class D had already arrived here. When they got closer, they found that it was Ayanokouji Kiyotaka.

Chabashira Sae looked at them in surprise: "I didn't expect so many people to come. Aren't you guys going to class?"

"..."

Ayanokouji turned to look at Horikita Suzune and Hikigaya, a look of surprise on his face.

Horikita and Hikigaya were equally surprised. They obviously didn't expect Ayanokouji to come to see the homeroom teacher at this time like them.

When the three of them were a little stunned, Chabashira Sae said with a smile: "Since you are here, it's just right. Let's talk about what's going on one by one."

Chabashi Sae first looked at Ayanokouji.

Facing Chabashi Sae's gaze, although his rhythm was disrupted by the arrival of Hikigaya and Horikita Suzune, Ayanokouji still reorganized his words and spoke:

"Teacher, I want to ask a question?"

"...Question?" After hearing what Ayanokouji said, Chabashira Sae spoke with great interest, "After Hikigaya and Horikita, I didn't expect that you would also have questions to ask. What do you want to ask?"

"Do you think that Japan is an equal society now?"

Ayanokouji's question not only stunned Chabashira, but also Horikita and Hikigaya, unable to understand the purpose of Ayanokouji's question.

"This topic is really abrupt. What's the point of asking me to answer this?"

"This is a very important matter. Could you please answer it?"

Ayanokouji's attitude was firm.
