Hachiman's POV

...

Hachiman turned to face Chabashira as the homeroom teacher continued to speak on the rules of the class. "All students are required to live on campus and are forbidden from contacting anyone outside the school. These include immediate family members unless you have explicit permission from the school."

"And yes, this also means you cannot leave the school campus grounds. However, there are many other facilities so that students won't suffer from this restriction of movement. There are plenty of entertainment areas for students, including karaoke bars, theater rooms, cafes, you name it." Chabashira added as she observed the faces of every student.

For some reason, Hachiman was able to deduce that Chabashira Sae was looking specifically at Ayanokouji for a bit longer than the rest of the students in this class.

"Why did Chabashira just eye Ayanokouji for a while?" Hachiman told himself before Chabashira Sae continued.

"As you all have seen, I've handed out student ID cards. With these cards, you can buy anything from any of the shops and facilities around campus. It works effectively like a credit card. You can buy anything from this school. There is nothing you can't buy here at Advanced Nurturing High School. If there's something on school grounds, it is purchasable."

That confused Hachiman. What did she mean by that? Instinctively, Hachiman began to take out a piece of paper and began to write what he found suspicious regarding what Chabashira had spoken today from this small introduction she was giving the class.

"There is no way she is just saying all of this for nothing... There must be something behind the words she speaks." Hachiman thought to himself as he made sure he was hearing Chabashira correctly.

"These student cards are just used by simply swiping them on machines, not much trouble. If there are any problems with the machines, make sure you call a faculty member, they are your first recommended call for help." Chabashira added, "Everyone should already have 100,000 points on their card, and your allowance should be added at the beginning of each month. Each point is worth 1 yen."

That was the moment the class got loud. Hachiman instinctively got his earbuds as he didn't like the sudden change in volume of the class.

"Damnit teacher!" Hachiman silently cursed. "Why did you have to make the class excited with your way of wording things!"

It was like an epiphany hit Hachiman once he said that as his mind got into working already, "Wait a minute... The way she worded everything made it seem like she didn't want students questioning what she said... That's why she said the points were worth yen at the last statement... She wanted everyone to be shocked by that so that they forgot everything..." Hachiman theorized, as while many in the class were excited of the hundred thousand yen they had, Hachiman was confused.

"There has to be something that comes with this..." Hachiman thought. "100,000 yen is too much to be given a month for each student..."

Hachiman looked around, only to see a few students in the class not really celebrating over the sudden money they had. No doubt in Hachiman's mind that they were skeptical as well.

These included Ayanokouji, the long-haired blonde boy, the stern black-haired girl, and the hot boy Hachiman knew would be a popular leader for the class.
