THE BOY WITH GUTS

*Ayanakoji's POV*

May 1

The morning bell rang for our very first day of class. Soon
afterward, Chiyabashira-sensei strode into the room, holding a rolled-up
poster. Her expression today was even more stern than usual. Had she started
menopause, I wondered? If I made that joke out loud, I think she would have
swung an iron bat at my face with full force.

"Hey, sensei, did you start menopause or something?"

Unbelievably, Ike actually let that joke fly. Honestly, it was more
shocking that I'd thought the same thing as Ike though i was not happy with that. Chiyabashira-sensei ignored what ike said. A studnet raised his hand and started complaining about the points.

"Um, I checked my point balance this morning, but I didn't see any
deposits. Points are given on the first day of every month, aren't they? I
couldn't buy juice this morning."

"I already explained this before, didn't I? Points are deposited
on the first day of the month. I've confirmed that points were wired this
month without any issues."

"Um, but...nothing was deposited into my account, though."
Hondou and Yamauchi exchanged glances. Ike appeared too shocked
to notice them looking at each other. I'd checked my point balance that
morning as well, but saw that it had remained unchanged from the day
before. No more points had been deposited into my account.

"Are you kids really that dumb?"
Was she angry or delighted? I was getting an ominous vibe from
Chiyabashira-sensei. I already knew where all of this was going but it's not like I could have done anything to avoid it.

"Points were deposited. That much I know for certain. There is
absolutely no chance that we forgot about anyone in this class. To think so is
ludicrous. Understood?"

"Well, even if I tell you that we understand, we haven't received any
points..."

The student's still perplexed, began to look dissatisfied.

"Ha ha ha! I see. So, it's like that then, teacher? I think I've solved the
mystery," Kouenji boomed, laughing.
He propped his feet up on his desk and smugly pointed toward
Ike

"It's simple. We're in Class D, so we didn't receive a single point."

"Huh? What are you talking about? They said that we'd get 100,000
points every month-"

"I don't remember hearing that, though. Do you?" Chuckling, Kouenji
boldly pointed at Chiyabashira-sensei.

"While he certainly has an attitude problem, Kouenji is exactly right.
For crying out loud, barely anyone seems to have noticed the hint I gave you.
How deplorable."

In response to this sudden turn of events, the classroom exploded in an
uproar. Koenji sure is incredible. He should be at least on the same level as an average whiteroom student or maybe a little high. It's not like I care though. Chiyabashira-sensei was about to leave when hirata stopped her.

"Sensei, may I please ask you a question? I'm afraid I still don't understand." Hirata raised his hand. He appeared to ask on behalf of his
classmates rather than out of selfish concern. Just as I'd expect of the de facto class leader. He is not a good leader though.

"Can you please tell us why we didn't receive any points? We won't
completely understand otherwise."

"A total of ninety-eight absences and late arrivals. Three hundred
ninety-one incidences of talking or using a cell phone in class. That is quite a
few infractions over one month. In this school, your class's results are
reflected in the points that you receive. As a result, you wasted all of the
100,000 points that you should have received. That's what happened."
