Chapter 18 - Kind-Hearted Ichinose Honami!
"Let me tell you, Honami-chan, while you three were out buying drinks, a bad boy came over..." Hoshinomiya Chie began to recount to Ichinose Honami and the other two boys what happened after they left.
Although Hoshinomiya Chie was long-winded, Ichinose Honami had a strong understanding and had grasped what had occurred in the class during their absence.
A student from Class D named 'Shimizu Yuto' used information bought with 150,000 private points to extort 740,000 points from their class...
Now, Ichinose Honami also understood why Yuto felt guilty and declined her offer for a drink...
It turns out he had done such terrible things to their Class B. Of course, he would feel guilty.
"That boy looks so handsome, but why is he so bad?"
Hoshinomiya Chie complained, and Ichinose Honami nodded in agreement, sharing the sentiment.
"Alright, everyone, what's done is done. Let's cheer up and have some drinks."
"Sure!"
With Ichinose Honami's warm invitation, the gloomy mood among Class B students lightened significantly.
They stopped complaining about the bad guy (Shimizu Yuto) and started discussing how to maintain their class points instead.
Holding a drink, Hoshinomiya Chie looked at the radiant Ichinose Honami and the united front of everyone, revealing a subtle smile and whispering.
"Although Shimizu Yuto, that bad boy, swindled 740,000 private points, he also brought the class together. So, the original 1,000 class points should all be preserved next month, right?"
Although Hoshinomiya Chie lacked Chabashira Sae's ambition and persistence, she too wished for Class B to become Class A if possible.
After all, the homeroom teacher of Class A has better salary and benefits than those of Classes B, C, and D.
After distributing the drinks, Ichinose Honami returned to her seat, murmuring somewhat disheartened.
"If I hadn't gone out to buy drinks for everyone, Shimizu-kun would never have been able to demand a hush fee from our class..."
If Ichinose Honami had stayed in the classroom, she would have immediately opposed and rejected Yuto's demand for a hush fee!
Moreover, Ichinose Honami would have disclosed the information about the class points, letting students from Classes A, C, and D know all about it.
This would have put all first-year classes on an equal footing, competing fairly.
This is Ichinose Honami, a genuinely kind-hearted person who is too nice for her own good...
It was fortunate for Yuto that Ichinose Honami was not in the classroom when he approached Class B; otherwise, he would have been utterly dumbfounded by her angelic presence!
He would have found it impossible to extort a hush fee from the students of Class B if Ichinose Honami was present.
However, now, since everyone wanted to keep the class points information from other classes confidential, they all transferred 20,000 points to Shimizu Yuto.
So, Ichinose Honami decided not to disclose any information about the class points to other classes.
Otherwise... the people of Class B would be in tears.
To be honest, some might actually cry!
Even though Ichinose Honami is kind-hearted, she understands her responsibility towards her classmates comes first.
...
Yuto moved from the third-floor staircase of Class B to the second floor, where he heard a 'thud' - a muffled sound.
If he wasn't mistaken, that sounded like a punch, which he was familiar with from often dealing with delinquents.
Yuto stopped his descent and looked in the direction of the punching sound, towards the classroom of Class C.
Focusing a bit more, Yuto heard some cries of pain and angry shouting from Class C's classroom, indicating a fight.
"Did the Class C homeroom teacher leave? So, the delinquents in Class C started fighting?" Yuto mused with a raised eyebrow.
Yuto thought it over and decided not to rush to find a senior but to deal with the troublemakers in Class C instead.
His past experiences made him despise delinquents, unable to stand by when trouble arises, especially since the delinquents were students of Class C, each having a significant amount of private points.
Yuto reached the corridor of Class C's classroom.
Although the door was closed and the curtains drawn, making it hard to see inside, a gap in the curtains allowed Yuto a glimpse of the situation.
"What's going on? The teacher is still in the classroom!" Yuto was surprised.
Indeed, a brawl was taking place inside Class C's classroom, but the homeroom teacher, Sakagami Kazuma, was standing on the podium, watching the fighting students with interest.
========Rewinding a few minutes back========
Homeroom teacher of Class C, Sakagami Kazuma, had finished conveying all the necessary enrollment information to the students of Class C.
Then, he waited in the classroom, curious to see if any students would notice the anomaly with the 100,000 private points.
However, Sakagami Kazuma was disappointed.
The students of Class C were all discussing how to spend the 100,000 private points when a female student suggested introducing themselves.
Ryuuen Kakeru, a delinquent, scoffed at such model student behavior, interrupting Class C students' introductions and commanding them to follow his lead in the future.
As Ryuuen Kakeru spoke out, Sakagami Kazuma's eyes lit up.
Although Ryuuen Kakeru failed to notice anything unusual about the 100,000 private points, his actions were undoubtedly aimed at unifying Class C, making the students obey him.
Sakagami Kazuma welcomed this since a class needs a strong leader to avoid becoming disorganized.
Even if that leader is a delinquent.
A disorganized class cannot survive in the highly competitive environment of Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing High School!
With Sakagami Kazuma's tacit approval, Ryuuen Kakeru began to provoke Class C students, using strength and violence to defeat those who were discontent, attempting to become the dictatorial leader of Class C!
Most of Class C's students were angry but did not dare to speak out in fear of fighting Ryuuen Kakeru, but a few hot-tempered delinquent boys could not stand it and fought back against Ryuuen Kakeru.
As the brawl unfolded, Sakagami Kazuma, the homeroom teacher, watched without intervening, allowing Ryuuen Kakeru and the others to fight.
Will fighting among students deduct class points?
Of course, it would.
