expected."
Hachiman watched the young girl in front of him with a smile: "Horikita-san, you are the leader of Class D, aren't you?"
For some reason.
Getting the upper hand on this self-important girl felt particularly interesting.
"So?"
Horikita Suzune's gaze was sharp: "Keep in mind that Class B and Class D are in a partnership. If you do something to backstab your partner, Ichinose won't forgive you either."
"You really hate losing."
Hachiman shook his head helplessly.
To think that even at this stage, she would try to use Ichinose to pressure him, not letting go of any possibility—this was probably a necessary quality for a leader.
Anyway, he would give up whenever he could; he definitely couldn't do that.
"Don't worry."
Hachiman raised his hand and said: "I don't want to interfere with Ichinose's plan either."
Being in Class B.
Comes with corresponding responsibilities.
Is this the so-called "job responsibility system"?
At the very least, he couldn't let his own actions affect Class B as a whole.
After all.
Ichinose is the leader of the class.
No matter what Ichinose wants to do, he just operates within the framework she established, at most fishing for some benefits for himself.
"As long as you know."
Horikita Suzune's tone was flat.
She still thought it was her intimidation that worked.
"Well."
Hachiman was too lazy to argue: "However, you must agree to two of my conditions!"
"Fine."
Horikita Suzune wasn't surprised at all, but she still added:
"But you should be clear that an absolutely safe passing method isn't a necessity for Class D. Even without such a method, Class D is confident in passing this exam. When you make your conditions, remember to take that into account!"
This girl really has quite a character...
Even at this point, she's still trying to find ways to bargain.
If Class D had enough confidence, a passing method indeed wouldn't be necessary.
But she had already come back.
Clearly, Horikita Suzune didn't have that much confidence and hoped to have an insurance policy.
Moreover.
Hachiman felt.
If he were to say something like, 'You wouldn't want your brother to know about your incompetent side, right?' he felt Horikita Suzune would accept any condition.
Her obsession with her brother had reached that level.
Although it was a bit awkward.
She didn't show any intention of hiding it at all.
In other words.
It was just her bluffing.
Even if he wanted to claim Horikita Suzune's body here, Hachiman felt it wouldn't be difficult at all, though afterward, he might be counter-threatened by Horikita with expulsion.
Hachiman looked at the girl in front of him with his dead-fish eyes.
He could understand why the commander would worry so much about this younger sister; her fake toughness was simply fragile.
Having a sister like this would indeed make one worry.
If Komachi had this kind of personality, she would be facing the risk of being used and threatened by bad men at any time.
As a brother, he would be too worried to sleep.
In his case.
He would definitely work hard to go to a job and keep Komachi sheltered at home to avoid any danger.
Wait?
Wouldn't that be the best?
Hachiman shook his head, pushing such thoughts aside.
While he considered himself base, he wasn't so base as to use threats to possess a woman's body.
Being questioned back by Horikita Suzune like that, Hachiman was actually in a bit of a bind.
He had no experience in negotiating or trading since childhood.
Strictly speaking.
The last trade with Horikita Suzune.
Could be considered the first time in his life.
And.
The last trade was just an appetizer at the start of school; its value wasn't inherently high and depended entirely on the students' awareness.
This time was completely different.
Depending on the effect.
His method might be worth more than 150 class points, and at the same time, it could crush Class C, which is Class D's biggest enemy right now.
Its value was immeasurable!
But he suddenly discovered.
The first step of deciding the chips was unexpectedly difficult.
Too high and the other party definitely wouldn't accept it; too low and he'd feel a bit annoyed.
Furthermore.
He also wasn't sure.
Whether Horikita Suzune had the ability to pay too high a price; if it was too expensive, the other party might just give up.
After all.
The girl in front of him could be called either self-important or confident—both descriptions fit.
Secondly.
Although this special exam had begun, such exams would inevitably occur frequently in the future.
But whether there would be exams that increase personal points.
Was also currently uncertain.
"Just asking for a moment..."
Hachiman pondered for a while: "What is your status in Class D like? Do you have any friends or something?"
"Don't be ridiculous."
Horikita Suzune rubbed her fragrant shoulder and said with disdain: "Do you think I would make friends with those incompetent low-achievers? Besides, I don't need friends; being alone is enough."
"That's true..."
What she said made a lot of sense.
For a moment, Hachiman was actually speechless.
This girl looks like the type who can't communicate properly with others.
Originally, if the other party had a certain status in Class D, he could have opened his mouth wide and asked the whole Class D to pay.
But now, if the price was too high.
Horikita Suzune would probably be powerless and choose to give up directly.
The price was best restricted to Horikita Suzune personally.
"Hmm."
Hachiman nodded and said: "First condition: use Class D's private points to buy me a pack of MAX Coffee!"
MAX Coffee is the most important!
Since it doesn't affect Class B, then he could only find his own way. Using another class's money should be fine, right?
Loners don't rely on anyone!
"Huh?"
Horikita Suzune was slightly stunned.
The condition she had waited so long for.
Was just this?
"No."
Horikita Suzune held her forehead: "You just said a pack of MAX Coffee, right?"
"Yes..."
"Deal!"
Horikita Suzune said without hesitation, not giving him any chance to go back on his word.
A rare opportunity to set conditions, and he only wanted a pack of MAX Coffee—in her eyes, it was an extremely foolish thing.
Regardless of what the other party was thinking, she had no reason to disagree.
"I mean now."
"No problem, I'll bring it to you tonight. That's enough."
Horikita Suzune nailed the condition right there.
"Fine."
Hachiman didn't intend to go back on his word either; he held up one finger and said:
"Second condition: for the next six months, you must transfer 50% of the personal points you receive from the school each month to me for free!"
No matter what.
Horikita Suzune's grades and athletic performance were clearly above his.
Since he didn't know,
If there would be exams to increase personal points in the future.
Then he would just go for percentage-based damage.
If Class D could smoothly pass this exam, their class points should be above 300, and they would continue to increase from there.
In simple terms.
At worst, he could harvest at least 100,000 personal points.
At best.
Being able to ride on Horikita Suzune's coattails to save up 20 million personal points.
Would naturally be even better!
