"And when did I say I want to expel him? I just him to know his place. That's all."
"What do you mean? We failed because of you, why are you saying as if you have a method to prevent the expulsion?" Ike said.
Then everyone looked at Izumi who was still smiling.
Sudou who had been silent for all time opened his mouth and said in a shaky voice, "You Do?"
Izumi nodded and said, "Yes, I do. But why should I tell you?"
Yeah! Why would he tell him when he had all this for an act of revenge.
Gritting his teeth, Sudou looked at Izumi and said, "What do you want?"
"Hehe! Now you are at the point, but before that, I want to ask the students in the class If you were given the chance to prevent the trio's expulsion, will you all do it? Even if you have to pay a price?"
Hearing this, some of the students had a frown and a few wanted to reject but Hirata spoke first, "Of Course. We will. Right, Guys!?"
He looked around and saw his classmates' faces and then he heard Horikita speaking, "Yeah we will."
Then Kushida also stood up and said, "Of course, we will help them. After all they are our classmates and we should help them." in a cheerful voice and just like everyone in the class started to speak in his favor. A few of them still didn't want the trio to be in the class but they didn't say anything and just went with the flow.
Ike, Sudou, and Yamauchi who were looking at the class were shocked and they became emotional seeing the class's support.
"Now then the class supports in preventing the expulsion, I guess I will also do my part as the class, But, before that, I will tell you the conditions you three will have to follow."
"The first condition is that you three will change, as to in which direction, Horikita will instruct you."
"The second condition, you three will bow down and apologize to everyone here for causing all the trouble. Especially you, Sudou. It was because of your temper that I did this. But don't think I am forgiving you or anything. I still hate you three."
"The third condition and the important one. As I said, I wanted him to know his place. Sudou, you will kneel down and apologize to me. That's it."
Everyone in class remained silent. The first two conditions weren't anything and they were even good for them. As for the last one, Chabashira sensei, Ayanokouji, Horikita, Sakura, Kushida, Koenji, and Hirata raided their brow when they heard him.
They knew that the last condition wasn't to stroke Izumi's pride because he defeated and took revenge on Sudou. Instead, it was to break any who r pride Sudou had. It wasn't just an apology but a life lesson he was teaching them. Even if they are very good at something, they won't focus on general things and neglect them. They will be forced to do some things they don't want to.
But, they shook their head, as only a few could understand the hidden meanings and most students in the class weren't among them. They would judge him as an arrogant person whose pride was hurt and who wanted an act of revenge.
Sudou who heard this was silent. He kept on looking into Izumi's eyes but he didn't see any disdain or anything towards him. Then Sudou thought of all of his actions and then nodded, "Okay! I accept the conditions."
"Good! Then meet me later. Now what about you two, Ike and Yamauchi, do you two accept the conditions?"
Both of them nodded as if they were hens pecking the grains.
"Then, Sensei, How many points will be getting in this month?"
"That's confidential Information. You won't know it."
"Then, How much for a point?"
"Huh! What do you mean, Student Izumi?"
"Sae-Sensei, Don't act ignorant, you said on the first day, that anything inside the school ground can be bought using the points. So, how much for a point?"
Then everyone understood what Izumi was talking about. Hirata was excited that no one will be expelled but his excitement cooled down as he heard her price.
"So, you want me to sell the scores of the exam. You are really shameless, Student Izumi. Still what I said was correct. Then, How about 100,000 points for 1 score point. Considering Sudou, Ike and Yamauchi only failed in English, you will have to buy 8 score points for 800,000 points."
"Aww! Sensei, why don't you give us a discount? Consider our relationship and give us a discount." Izumi said in a soft and flirty tone.
Chabashira Sensei frowned for a moment and then said in a mischievous voice, It can't be helped. Then the points value will be decreased by -50%. Meaning now you have to pay, 1.2 Million Points."
"Haha! I was joking before. There you have it class. You can save Sudou, Ike, and Yamauchi by paying 800,000 points. Didn't you all say you will do it if you have to pay the price? They pay it." Saying this Izumi sat down and started to use his phone.
Everyone in the class started murmuring and talking. Then Horikita struck his book on the desk and said, "Silence!"
"Everyone, start reporting how many points you all have." She said and started to ask everyone one by one.
The student with the least points had 1000 points while the student with the most points had 60,000 points. Excluding Horikita, Ayanokouji, Sakura and Koenji.
Horikita didn't even count Izumi in the calculation because he knew that Izumi won't give any points to the trio.
"Calculating all the points, we will have 500,000 Points. I want you all to transfer the points to me."
Murmurs started to appear as they heard the points. They knew that all the students only gave a total of 200,000 points. Meaning Horikita and Ayanokouji gave a total of 300,000.
Koenji didn't even look at them.
Kusida stood up and said, " Horikita san, what about the rest of the points?"
"I will think about something."
"Then shouldn't Izumi also pay the points. You didn't ask him about his points."
Izumi looked up at Kushida and said, "I won't pay any points."
"Why Izumi Kun? Didn't you say.." As she was about to speak, Horikita shut her up by saying, "Shut Up Kushida. Don't think I don't know what you are doing. First, you started the rumor and now you are making the matter worse."
"Anyways, Izumi I need points."
"How many?"
"300,000"
Izumi nodded to her and said, "I have transferred 400,000 points. Keep the rest for daily needs."
As soon as he said it, A ring was heard from Horikita's phone and she went to Sae Sensei who was watching everything in amusement.
"Sensei I have gathered the points. Here are they."
Sae sensei took her phone out and received a message.
"Easiest 800,000 points you got, Sensei. I will try to get them back in other ways."
Sae-sensei looked up and saw Izumi's challenging smirk.
"Try it." She said and Izumi took the screenshot in case she deleted it.
"Okay! Now, you three don't have to worry about expulsion. But don't it will be possible everything. Next time, even if try to buy a score point, It will be at least a million points. So, don't mess up and don't mess with others, whom you can't handle."
Saying this, she left the class.
Izumi also stood up and said to Koenji and Ayanokouji, "Let's go you two. We are having a party."
Koenji grinned and stood while Aynokouji also followed as now he won't reject a 'party' from Izumi.
Everyone else in the class gathered around Horikita, especially Sudou, and others.
First, the three bowed down and apologized to everyone in the class and then they thanked Horikita and others for helping them.
As for points, they had promised to work hard and pay back the points to everyone, especially Horikita, who according to everyone was now in Izumi's debt.
Most of the students in the class had started to fear him as well, and Kushida who saw this smiled inwardly.
"Still, Horikita san, why did Izumi give you points easily, when he said he wouldn't save them?"
"First of all, Izumi didn't say he won't save them, or he wouldn't have talked about anything and kept silent. Second, Izumi gave Points to me because I asked him. He didn't give it to save them, he gave it to me and I can do whatever I want with the points."
"Still, why did he give you points easily? And 400,000 points, I wonder where he got them."
"Kushida, I won't tell you anything. Don't pry into others' secrets. It seems what Izumi said about you was right. But I will tell you all why he gave me the points. It's because I am his friend. That's it. Nothing More, Nothing Less."
Saying this, Horikita stood up and left the class. While Kushida was in shock as she wondered if Ayanokouji had told her secret to Izumi and if Izumi had told about her to Horikita.
She immediately wanted to go and ask Ayanokouji but then she remembered him leaving with Izumi. She decided to wait and ask him later.

Guys! I need support at P@treon, I write 5 chapters a day, and because of that, I don't have much time to do other things, I also need to earn an income, so even if I like to write novels, I don't think I will be able to continue it for long and would have to stop, because liking one thing won't get me income or anything. At least, just make it to 100$ per month, That would make it manageable.

As the days kept on passing the environment in the class had become much livelier since the expulsion incident.
The students in the class got closer since the incident and Sudou, Ike, and Yamauchi who had a talk with Horikita also started to change. They would listen in class, keep their behavior in check, participate in class activities, and most importantly study.
Horikita had also gotten with the class and now she could be seen as the leader of the class with Hirata being the co-leader.
As Horikita was getting to the class, on the hand, Izumi kept on getting away from them. Only a few in the class would interact with him while others avoided him because either they were scared of him or they had different rumors about him.
Heh! Even the students of other classes had heard about him so not many people interacted with him.
Izumi on the other hand didn't care about it. He still interacted with only those he was comfortable with.
Koenji, Ayanokouji, and Izumi had started hanging out more and more with each other's, they enjoyed each other's company as the three people were the type of people who want to be 'free'.
Morning came and the class was more raucous than usual. It was because today was the day they would get class points.
"Good morning, everyone. You all seem more restless than usual today."
Chabashira-sensei strode into the classroom as the homeroom bell rang. "Sae-sensei! Do we have zero points again this month?! When I checked this morning, I didn't see a single point deposited into my account!"
"Oh, so that's why you're all so restless?"
"We worked ourselves half to death this past month! We passed the midterm, so why are we still at zero points?! No one's been late or absent, and no one's talked during class, either!"
"Don't jump to conclusions. Listen to what I have to say first. You're correct, Ike. You have all worked harder than ever before. I recognize that. Naturally, the school understands full well how you all feel."
After being admonished by the teacher, Ike shut his mouth and sat back
down.
"Well then. Without further ado, here are this month's point totals." She put a paper up on the board that listed the point values, starting
with Class A at the top. Excluding Class D, all of the other classes had nearly 100 more points than last month. Class A now sat at 1004 points, slightly above where everyone had started when we were admitted.
"This isn't good. Could they have figured out a way to increase their point total?!"
Horikita appeared solely focused on the other classes. However, Ike and most of the other Class D students didn't care much about the other classes' points. The important question for them was whether we had received more class points. That was it.
Written next to Class D was our point total: 98 points.
"Huh? Wait, 98? Does that mean we actually went up? Yahoo!" Ike excitedly jumped up and down the instant he saw our score.
"It's too early to celebrate. All the other classes saw a similar increase in their points. We didn't close the distance at all. This might just be a reward first-year students receive for getting through the midterm. Every class seems to have gotten at least 100 points."
"So that's what happened. I thought it odd that we'd been awarded points so quickly."
Horikita, who hoped to reach Class A, didn't appear pleased with the result. She wasn't smiling.
"Are you disappointed because the gap between the classes has widened, Horikita?" Ayanokouji asked.
"No, that's not it. We managed to get something this time, after all."
"Get something? Get what?" asked Ike, now standing.
Horikita, after attracting everyone's attention, fell back into silence. The class leader, Hirata Yousuke, answered for her.
"I believe that Horikita-san is referring to the deductions we incurred throughout April and May. In other words, we didn't see a reduction in points for talking in class or being late."
The sharp-witted Hirata hadn't missed a beat.
"Ah, is that so? I suppose that even if we got 100 points, a lot of deductions would've brought us down to zero." Ike, after this simple explanation, raised his arms in victory.
"Wait. But then, why didn't we get any points?"
He lobbed his original question again at Chabashira-sensei. It was indeed strange that we hadn't received 9800 private points in our accounts.
"Well, this time there was a little trouble. The first-year students' point distribution has been delayed. I'm sorry, but you'll have to wait a bit longer," she said.
"Huh? Seriously? If this is the school's fault, then shouldn't we get some kind of bonus as compensation?"
The students grumbled in discontent. Once they found out that they would be getting their points, their attitudes changed dramatically. There was a significant difference between 98 points and no points.
"Don't blame me. This was the school's decision, there's nothing I can do about it. Once the trouble has been resolved, you'll receive your points. If there are still points left, that is."
There was a deeper meaning behind Chabashira-sensei's words.
Izumi and Sakura who had heard this looked at each other and smiled. Ayanokouji didn't miss this and messaged Izumi to ask about it.
Izumi seeing the message sent some files to Aynokouji who raised his head after looking at them. Then he looked at Horikita and shook his head.
Both of them decided to not participate in the matter until it will get out of hand.
Once lunchtime came around, everyone went to the cafeteria. Even if they had pooled the points to prevent the expulsion, they still had some points to buy the food, instead of Free Food.
Of course, Sudou, Ike, and Yamauchi had to eat the free food because they had to give all of their points.
Horikita in this matter was strict and didn't give any points to them.
After lunch, the classes carried on as usual. Everyone in the class was paying attention or making sure it looked like they were paying attention to the teacher.
*Raph! When will we leave for the next word? It's getting boring here.*
*Don't be so down Izumi, Going to the next world won't be easy and fun. You will have to understand a lot of things for that.*
*Still! Why can we leave the world? And Time will be stopped here, so who allowed world travel? I mean aren't there world wills that prevent it.*
*Hmm! You don't need to worry about it. The travels are approved by World Wills and the one who allows the travel, Well! They are constellations.*
*Fuck! Like the one in ORVP. Are they watching me now? Are the travels entertaining to them?*
*No, They aren't watching, for now. And the travels aren't entertainment, No! Maybe they are. The constellations when fed with a world story decided to send someone to intervene or changed the story. They will give you the powers, which will remain yours and they won't be able to take them back on a whim. It's just like you wished for someone to change Boob Dragon Emperor and Butt Dragon Emperor in DxD. You remember your disappointment. Well! It's the same.*
*So that's how it is. It's just like how I used to watch anime, and now they are watching anime. But in live-action.*
As he was talking with Raphael, the classes ended and,
"Sudou. I have to talk to you about something. Come to the faculty room," Chabashira-sensei called out to Sudou, who was trying to beat a hasty retreat from the classroom.
"Huh? What happened sensei? I've got basketball practice now." Sudou languidly opened up his bag to show off the sports uniform inside.
"I've already spoken with the advisor. You don't have to come with me if you don't want to, but you will face the consequences later."
Chabashira-sensei's threatening words set Sudou a little on edge.
"What? Will this be over quickly?"
"That all depends on you. The longer you stand there, the more time you waste."
It seemed as though he had no choice but to go with her. Sudou clicked his tongue and followed Chabashira-sensei out of the classroom.
"I thought that he might have changed, but I guess Sudou's the same as ever. Wouldn't it have been better if he just got kicked out?"
Some students in the class spoke, Horikita narrowed her eyes as she heard the conversation between Sudou and Sensei.
"What do you think? Did he get into any trouble?" Ayanokouji asked as he saw Horikita with narrowed eyes.
"He better not has gotten in trouble," Horikita said in a threatening voice to which Aynokouji thought of the images from before.
"Yeah! He better not. I still want my points back."
They both went out to leave. Izumi didn't join them because he was talking with Raphael.
"I'm a little worried about what Chabashira-sensei said this morning," Horikita said.
"About our points being delayed?"
"Yes. She said that there was trouble, but did she mean that it was a problem for the school, or a problem for us, the students? If it's the latter, then…"
"You're overthinking things. We haven't caused any real problems lately. She even said so herself. I doubt Class D would be the only one not to get any points. It's simply the school having an issue."
Ayanokouji said as he lied through his teeth.
"I hope that's the case. Trouble directly affects our points."
Horikita spent every single day thinking about how to increase our points. She wasn't concerned with private points, of course, but class points. She wanted to get up to Class A. He wouldn't say that it was impossible, but right now it was a very long shot.
