Hikigaya's Route to Senior High Is Not Normal, As I Expected

Hachiman's POV

...

The beginning of a new month was always an exciting time for everyone. A new change to the days, and for some students, maybe even mixing up the number sequence as one becomes accustomed to the old number of the old month.

However, for those in ANHS, it was meant to be a supposed exciting time for the meantime. After all, everyone was expecting to receive another hundred thousand points where they could splurge it however they want.

However, for some people, they already knew the pessimistic reality.

When Hachiman woke up, he knew today would be quite the commotion in class.

Reason? No private points were delivered. None whatsoever.

Hachiman already had an idea of what was to come.

To the very benefit for him, he however received 10,000 private points, culminating in a total of 62,750 private points he had gained. Hachiman woke up knowing that this would happen, all the while he assumed the others in his class would be beginning to panic.

When Hachiman woke up, he decided to immediately check his phone. He had been trying to look at his phone more often now, considering the little debacle he had from both Nao and Shiina.

To what he expected, Shiina had messaged him.

Shiina Hiyori: Good morning. How much of the book did you read? I got to the second main part.

Hachiman looked on, pondering on how he should respond.

Hachiman Hikigaya: I read around 30 pages, seems to be a consistent one. It's the first of the month.

Hachiman waited for a bit, about to place his phone down before he noticed text bubbles appear.

Shiina Hiyori: I got around 49,000 private points today, you?

Hachiman was somewhat surprised that Shiina had messaged him relatively quickly after he texted, and before then Shiina messaged another.

Shiina Hiyori: Also, I'm glad you are answering me now.

Hachiman looked on as he nodded to his phone before texting back.

Hachiman Hikigaya: I only got 10,000 private points, from my job, but otherwise, nothing from my class. Therefore, I am assuming we got zero private points.

Shiina Hiyori: Oh wow, are you okay? I can send you some private points if you need.

Hachiman Hikigaya: No need to, this is why I got the job at the library, so that I at least have some private points in case of something like this.

Shiina Hiyori: You planned for this?

Hachiman Hikigaya: Yes

Hachiman quickly plopped his phone down, clearly anticipating what was to come later in the day.

He knew his class would be at an uproar, and through it all, he would have to hear Sae explain it all. Sure, he would finally be confirmed of how close he is to figuring out everything, but in the meantime, Hachiman decided he should prepare himself just in case.
