AHH what a morning.

I walked with Nene and Karuizawa's groups and I was targeted for my bed hair.

Regardless, it was June 1st.

"Good morning, everyone. You all seem more restless than usual today."

Chabashira-sensei strode into the classroom as the homeroom bell rang.

"Sae-chan! Sae-chan! Saeeee-chan! Do we have zero points again this month?! When I checked this morning, I didn't see a single point deposited into my account! Why!? Whyyyy!?!?" Ike nervously shook.

"Oh, so that's why you're all so restless?"

"We worked ourselves half to death this past month! We passed the midterm, so why are we still at zero points?! No one's been late or absent, and no one's talked during class, either!"

"Don't jump to conclusions. Listen to what I have to say first. You're correct, Ike. You have all worked harder than ever before. I recognize that. Naturally, the school understands full well how you all feel."

After being admonished by the teacher, Ike shut his mouth and sat back down.

"Well then. Without further ado, here are this month's point totals."

She put a paper up on the board that listed the point values, starting with Class A at the top. Excluding Class D, all of the other classes had nearly 100 more points than last month. Class A now sat at 1004 points, slightly above where everyone had started when we were admitted.

"This isn't good... Could they have figured out a way to increase their point total?"

Horikita appeared solely focused on the other classes. However, Ike and most of the other Class D students didn't care much about the other classes' points. The important question for them was whether we had received more class points. That was it.

Written next to Class D was our point total: 87 points. 

"Huh? Wait, 87? Does that mean we actually went up? Yahoo! Yeah baby! That's what I'm talking about!"

Ike excitedly jumped up and down the instant he saw our score.  

"It's too early to celebrate. All the other classes saw a similar increase in their points. We didn't close the distance at all. It's based on the class average of the midterms." Chabashira explained.

"I had a feeling it was because of that. Yes yes... So that's what happened. I thought it odd that we'd been awarded points so quickly." Horikita claimed.

"Are you disappointed because the gap between the classes has widened, Horikita?" Ayanokouji asked.

"No, that's not it. We managed to get something this time..."

"Get something? Get what!?" asked Ike, now standing.

Horikita, after attracting everyone's attention, fell back into silence. It was as if she didn't wish to provide an answer. 

"..."

"...You got stage fright? We could take this backstage... ya know? ...What I mean?" I offered...

"...I don't usually swear but fuck you."

"Eh... usually I'm the one who likes to fuck but I'll allow you to fuck me."

"Absolutely despicable. You have no shame."

Despite her talking to be, she proceeds to stay quiet and closes her eyes. What is she doing, meditating or somethin'?

Seeing this unfortunate turn of events- the class leader, Hirata Yousuke, answered for her.

"I believe that Horikita-san is referring to the deductions we incurred throughout April and May. In other words, we didn't see a reduction in points for talking in class or being late."

Nice one, Hirata.

"Ah, is that so? I suppose that even if we got 100 points, a lot of deductions would've brought us down to zero." Ike, after this simple explanation, raised his arms in victory. 

"Wait! But then, why didn't we get any points? ...S-Sae-chan...?" Ike lobbed his original question again at Chabashira-sensei. "Don't tell me you're... cheating!?"

"I don't cheat, that's a big taboo. Besides, I don't have any romantic partner." She informed us.

"Damn! I was into NTR and getting cuck- well I mean... wait... you're single!?"

".... Anyway, to answer your question regarding private points. This time there was trouble-"

"Noo!" Ike banged his fist on the table in defeat.

"I-Ike-kun, it's only the morning..." a female student said. I mean, I was fed up with Ike's vulgar words and annoyance.

"Ah... sorry.." I didn't know if he shut up because a girl told him too in a kind way or he felt embarrassed.

Regardless, Chabashira looked with empty eyes at Ike before continuing,

"...The first-year students' point distribution has been delayed. I'm sorry, but you'll have to wait a bit longer," she said.

"If this is the school's fault, then shouldn't we get some kind of bonus as compensation? Come on..." Ike suggested.

"This was the school's decision, there's nothing I can do about it. Once the trouble has been resolved, you'll receive your points."

This will get interesting.
