章 101: Class Marathon Event - Part 3

Later in class, just as we were dismissed for lunch, Kaoru made her way to the front of the room. Standing up on the ledge, she talked to everyone.

"I'm a little disappointed by the lack of participation in our training sessions. We had a vote on this the previous day, and the majority of you agreed to it."

She leaned against the wall.

"I'm going to personally suggest a plan. Everyone will transfer me 1,000 points, and you will receive them back if you participate at least once daily. Our combined efforts will benefit the class in the long run. Raise your hand if you agree."

After a little bit of discussion, some hands slowly began going up. After a few people raised theirs, I decided to raise mine as well.

"Kaoru... I'm a little busy tonight... can I skip just today?" asked a boy.

"What are you going to do?"

"Just... um, some homework that... because I'm behind and all..."

"Before I answer you, we're going to vote on this first."
