Seeing Hachiman wanting to drop out, many Class A students wanted to stop him, but they were also afraid that what the man said was true—that he really did have a seriously ill younger sister. This made everyone hesitant to make any rash decisions.
Hachiman smiled self-deprecatingly, (Good, if it's like this, a world where only I get hurt will be complete...)
Honami walked closer, her eyes staring sharply at Hachiman.
"If what you said is true, we can let you go. But if it's a lie, we will never let go of a single classmate."
Honami turned and asked her assistant beside her. "Kanzaki-kun, how many points does it cost to call family using points?"
Ryuji adjusted the position of glasses that weren't actually on his face. "About 100,000 points."
Hachiman seemed to realize something. He wanted to immediately stop it, but unfortunately it was already too late.
Honami said without hesitation, "Use 100,000 points to call Hikigaya-kun's family and verify the truth."
"Roger!" Ryuji prepared to do so immediately without hesitation.
Hachiman covered his face with his hand and admitted the fact that he had lied. He didn't want his classmates to pay 100,000 points for his lie.
Actually, when Himeno verified with his family last time, it had already cost 100,000 points...
Ryuji stopped in his tracks, his lips forming a smile. Without saying a word, he turned back, patted Hachiman's shoulder, and said meaningfully.
"Our class leader won't let anyone go, you know that? Don't do something foolish like this again next time."
Hachiman turned his face to the side, but his face had already turned completely red, clearly he was embarrassed.
Honami smiled, clapped her hands softly to get everyone's attention, then announced what she wanted to do.
"I won't let anyone drop out. I want to advance to third year and graduate together with all of you."
"Please forgive my selfishness, I don't want to lose a single classmate."
After speaking, Honami bowed to all the students, showing that she would never compromise, even if she had to spend 20 million personal points.
Everyone couldn't help but smile. At this moment, everyone let go of their prejudices, including the two or three classmates who had previously refused.
Everyone agreed to use 20 million personal points to face this exam.
Hachiman stared at Honami's figure, truly like seeing an angel. Do people like this really exist in the world?
He was captivated by such a girl. Even though he didn't like gentle girls, but...
Honami was different, she was so pure, a purity that made him feel a bit nostalgic.
Hachiman touched his rapidly beating heart.
(This is bad! This is the feeling of falling in love.)
◆━⊰✿✧✿⊱━◆
Meanwhile on Class B's side, the situation wasn't as harmonious. Currently they were divided into two camps.
Kohei intended to use points to save someone. However, Arisu refused to do so with the reason that those points were needed to face the next exam.
Actually, she had a personal motive; she wanted to save points to use in a duel against Ryunosuke.
Regarding inter-class competition, Arisu didn't care. The only thing she cared about was wanting to compete fairly with Ryunosuke again.
Kohei was angry. He strongly objected to Arisu's proposal, but Arisu pretended not to hear.
Kohei bowed his proud head to Arisu and pleaded.
"Sakayanagi-san, I beg you! If you really don't want to use points to save someone, then just expel me from school."
Arisu was currently playing international chess with the new transfer student, Asuna.
Her hand movements paused slightly for a moment. Without turning around, she continued playing chess while giving a response.
"Katsuragi-kun, you are an extraordinary talent, I won't let you drop out."
Kohei clenched his fist unwillingly. "Then who do you want to expel?"
Arisu's lips curved into a smile. "Of course the student with the worst performance. Isn't there one in our class? Right, Totsuka Yahiko-kun?"
Yahiko immediately froze in place. He pointed at himself, as if not believing the words he heard.
"Sakayanagi-san, you mean... expel me from school?"
Arisu didn't answer, but only said in a flat tone, "I won't repeat my words twice."
After that, she continued playing chess with the transfer student.
Asuna's brows furrowed deeply. She had already lost interest in playing chess.
Arisu also stopped the chess movements in her hand, slowly standing up with the help of her cane.
Asuna was afraid she would fall, so she immediately approached her side to support her.
Arisu smiled. "Thank you very much, Yuuki-san."
"You're welcome." Asuna replied. However, her beautiful brows hadn't relaxed yet.
Arisu seemed to notice the doubt in her heart, then gave a careful explanation.
"It's not that I don't want to save him, but I can't save him. Our points aren't enough to reach 20 million at all."
She revealed the actual truth.
Kohei froze in place, then asked confusedly. "Do we really not have 20 million personal points?"
Arisu rolled her eyes beautifully. "I wonder who lost 5 million personal points in the second month of school."
"Even if later on the ship we obtained 14 million personal points, we still can't cover that hole."
"In less than these short 4 months, we can't collect the remaining 6 million points at all."
Kohei just realized that because he made a transaction with Ryuen to save Yahiko, it caused a shortage of points. Realizing it was his own mistake, he no longer had the right to speak.
Moreover, what Arisu said was right. They indeed didn't have enough points, even if they wanted to save someone, they couldn't.
In that case, they could only save themselves individually.
Seeing everyone already understood, Arisu nodded satisfactorily and didn't speak anymore.
Asuna held her chin and asked, "About how many personal points do we have?"
Arisu looked at her with curiosity. "Why? Do you have a way?"
Asuna didn't say much. "If the point gap isn't big, maybe we can borrow from someone else."
"Oh?" Arisu now felt curious.
The other party had clearly just transferred schools, how could she know someone? Moreover, someone who had a large amount of points.
The only person Arisu thought of at this moment was Ryunosuke.
Sure enough, a second later, Asuna took out her phone and called Ryunosuke.
Arisu was slightly surprised. "How do you have his phone number?"
Asuna just gestured for silence. Arisu obediently closed her mouth, but her eyes were filled with curiosity.
(What's her relationship with Akasaka-kun? Why does she have his phone number?)
And Kohei, when he heard that his classmate could still be saved, immediately fell silent and waited tensely for Asuna's call.
The call connected quickly, and Ryunosuke's voice was heard from inside.
"What's up, Asuna?"
Asuna didn't care about being called so familiarly by the other party, the most important thing now was this urgent matter.
"There's something I want to ask for your help with, do you have time?"
On the other end of the phone, Ryunosuke fell silent for a moment, seemingly having guessed something, and directly said it.
"Your points aren't enough, are they?"
Asuna exclaimed in surprise. "Eh? How did you know?"
Ryunosuke instead said quite proudly. "Nonsense! I've never miscalculated anything related to money! The points on your side should only have about 17.8 to 18 million left, right?"
Asuna immediately covered her phone's microphone, looked toward Arisu, as if asking whether that was correct?
Arisu showed her beautiful smile, nodded lightly, indicating that his calculation was almost accurate.
Somewhat annoyed, Asuna picked up her phone again. "You're really money-grubbing, you even calculate other people's money so clearly."
