Kapitel 260: -256- Accompany me for a while
The two-week luxury cruise trip passed just like that.
After returning to Advanced Nurturing High School, all first-year students were once again restricted in their freedom, as if being confined in a birdcage. They were no longer allowed to freely enter and exit the campus and could only continue activities within the school grounds, just like in the first semester.
But this didn't cause any discontent among the students.
Having the chance to go on this two-week trip was already enough.
Although most students thought these two weeks would be for leisure before the summer vacation started, they ended up facing two grand special exams back-to-back, which left many exhausted. As a result, these students didn't want to go out anymore and preferred to rest at school for a while.
In this context, the information about the two special exams for first-year students spread by word of mouth.
Thus, during this summer vacation, both second-year and third-year students came to recognize a name.
The deeds of the person behind this name, once heard by the senior students, shocked everyone.
"Scored over 300 class points...!?"
"And over seventy million personal points...!?"
"No way!"
"I don't believe it!"
At first, the senior students reacted this way when they heard the rumors.
However, as the news spread more widely, the senior students finally realized that this was no rumor.
This shocked everyone.
"Are you kidding?"
"Achieving such results in the first special exam?"
"Is that person really from Class D?"
"If those class points belonged to our class, we would have already risen to Class A."
"And more than seventy million personal points..."
"That's so enviable."
One by one, the senior students exclaimed in amazement, with a hint of shock.
Whether it was securing over 300 class points in the first special exam or obtaining more than seventy million personal points, these were achievements that left the senior students in awe.
Take the personal points, for example.
Previously, Ryuen Kakeru mentioned that in the history of Advanced Nurturing High School, the student who earned the most personal points was a Class B student from several years ago, who managed to get 12 million personal points through fraud.
This was already the highest record for personal points earned by an individual in history.
But Nanaya Hori simply broke this record, obtaining over seventy million personal points in a single special exam.
Isn't this worth being astonished at?
Similarly, securing 300 class points in a single special exam is an incredible record.
If these 300 class points were in Class B's hands, they could directly catch up to Class A.
At that point, the current first-year Class A would inevitably become the fastest elite class to be overtaken in history, wouldn't they?
What Nanaya Hori did was that terrifying.
"What kind of person is that?"
"Nanaya... Nanaya... that sounds familiar..."
"Right, isn't that the person who raced against the student council president and caused a big stir in the track and field club?"
"I remember now! It's him!"
Gradually, the senior students recognized Nanaya Hori and learned about him through various channels.
Especially knowing that he would have over seventy million personal points after the second semester, many felt a surge of envy, jealousy, and resentment.
"I wonder how Nanaya will use those points?"
"Surely, he plans to rise to Class A?"
"That's natural."
All the senior students assumed that Nanaya Hori planned to use personal points to rise to Class A.
With over seventy million in his possession, spending 20 million on switching classes was a mere fraction of his total wealth.
If it were someone else, they would probably bankrupt themselves to rise to Class A, right?
Nanaya Hori only needed to spend less than a third of his wealth to rise to Class A, leaving a substantial amount remaining. How could this not make others envious and resentful?
However, if these people knew that Nanaya Hori didn't intend to spend two million personal points to rise to Class A, they would probably feel more than just envy and resentment.
But that's the truth.
Nanaya Hori had no intention of rising to Class A.
To Nanaya Hori, the guarantees of employment and further education offered by Class A were insignificant.
So, while the entire school discussed various matters about Nanaya Hori, he was living leisurely after returning to school.
"Finally, I can go for a morning run. On the ship, I couldn't do it even if I wanted to."
One day, Nanaya Hori wore his sports attire and jogged on a field on the campus.
There were hardly any people around.
If it were a normal time, various clubs would have already started their early morning exercises and activities by now.
But it was still the summer vacation period.
Even though the two-week luxury cruise trip had ended, there was still a whole week left before the start of the second semester.
During this week, the school had made a clear promise to all first-year students.
"During the summer vacation, there will only be two special exams. There will be no more special exams in the following week, so enjoy the rest of your vacation and prepare yourselves mentally for the challenges of the new semester."
Led by Mashima Tomonari, Hoshinomiya Chie, Sakagami Kazuma, and even Chabashira Sae all made this promise to their respective classes, greatly relieving the students.
As a result, until the new semester began, nothing significant would happen.
At least, the school had no such plans.
This caused many students to sleep in their dorm rooms, even delaying club activities compared to usual.
Thus, the entire field was almost empty, with only Hori running in the morning.
"Just as well, enjoying the peace and quiet."
Hori murmured to himself as he ran.
If there were many club activities now, Hori would surely be the subject of gossip, right?
That would be quite annoying.
Hori thought about this indifferently and continued running.
Who knows how much time passed, but just as Hori was about to run back to the dorm, another runner approached him.
"It seems you've stirred up quite a commotion."
A somewhat cold voice sounded beside Hori.
Hori did not turn to look at the person, nor did he respond. He just kept running.
Until...
"Do you have time later?"
Horikita Manabu, running alongside Hori, suddenly asked.
Upon hearing this, Hori glanced at Horikita Manabu.
After a moment, Hori nodded.
Seeing this, Horikita Manabu spoke expressionlessly.
"Then accompany me for a while later."
The most outstanding student council president since the founding of Advanced Nurturing High School was here, inviting Hori.
Hori still didn't respond, just nodded.
