I arrived at school, relatively earlier than before. As I went inside the classroom and proceeded to sit at my seat, I was greeted by Horikita sitting at her desk, reading a book as usual.

However unlike other times where she would only talk to me to report about her progress on the map, she started to question me.

"Are you sure your little plan will work, Ayanokouji-kun? I know that most of the students in this class are quite simple-minded, but I have yet to see you're prowess in persuading idiots."

Was that an insult to me or the class? If it's Horikita, it's surely both.

"It'll be fine, we won't lose all our points. Hopefully." Well we will lose most of our points.

"This wouldn't have happened if a certain someone had warned the class earlier." Horikita sneered.

"I wonder who that certain someone could be?" I say while faking a thinking pose. This angered Horikita like I intended. It's always fun to tease her. It's even better that she can't really retort against me if I say so.

She started to ignored and returned to her book just as the bell started to ring. She let out an annoyed sigh.

Chabashira-sensei strode into the classroom with grace as usual, once again glancing at me with almost pleading eyes. She does this every morning just wishing for me to do something. Don't worry you'll get your wish Sensei.

So in order to give her hope, I nodded at her. With this she her face brightened. Something that my classmates noticed, but didn't care enough to question.

"Now, before we begin. Does anyone have any questions?" She addressed the entire class.

Just like our first day here, I raised my hand in order to ask a question.

"Yes, Ayanokouji?" She said after taking notice of my raised hand.

"Once again, you said we can buy anything with points right?" My classmates then looked at me with curious looks, trying to discern my motive.

Chabashira-sensei was trying to do the same thing, though her usual smiling expression regarding me was replaced with one of intrigue.

"Yes. I have said that. " She answered matter of factly.

"Then how many points for a full explanation of the S-System?" Most of my classmates faces went from one of curiousity to one of shock. Even those that were present in the leader's meeting were sharing the expression sans Horikita of course.

The teacher in front surpringly shared the same sentimemt. Her eyes were wide open and her eyebrows raised, a picture perfect shocked expression.

She quickly regained her bearings and answered my question.

"That information would cost much more than just mere private points." Chabashira-sensei answered, a smirk appearing on her face.

"I see, then please disregard that question." With those words my classmates started mutterimg among themselves, probably about the point of asking a question then disregarding it altogether. Chabashira-sensei though, just kept smirking, expecting that answer from me.

"Instead, how many points do I have to pay in order to have this first of hour of school as homeroom?" The people at the meeting yesterday seems to have caught on with what my intentions are, the rest of my classmates however, weren't so informed.

"We can do that?"

"Noooo! I wasted all my points when I could have just payed to be free from class?!"

"There's no way that'll work."

And other mutters were thrown around the class. It was to be expected of course. After all, not a lot of people would take the phrase, you can buy anything with points, literally. Unless you're intelligent or extremely stupid.
