章節 55: -55- The outcome wouldn't change
Can Sudou Ken's staying really increase the class points?
What's going on here?
Kushida Kikyou pondered this question and quickly asked.
"Honami, what's going on?"
Kushida Kikyou's inquiry was met with Ichinose Honami's confusion.
"Don't tell me you didn't know?"
Ichinose Honami said, astonished.
"The school evaluates students' club activities. As long as a student shines in the assembly and achieves good results, the school not only rewards the participants with personal points but also evaluates the classes the students belong to, thus increasing the class points."
This news was clearly the first time Kushida Kikyou had heard of it.
"Don't you really not know?" Ichinose Honami seemed genuinely surprised. She continued, "This is something every class advisor should have informed you about. Didn't your class advisor tell you?"
No, she didn't.
Chabashira Sae never mentioned such a thing.
The class advisor only provided the most basic explanations to Class D, and nothing else was actively disclosed unless students asked. For example, Chabashira Sae only mentioned on the day of the score announcement that the school's failing score line was calculated by averaging each class's scores and dividing by two.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, Chabashira Sae wouldn't bother explaining anything.
Including the matter Ichinose Honami brought up.
"I had no idea..." Kushida Kikyou felt somewhat dumbfounded.
Then, Kushida Kikyou seemed to recall something and turned to look to the side.
There, Nanaya Hori heard the news but showed no surprise at all, remaining as calm as ever.
This made Kushida Kikyou understand.
"You already knew about this, Hori-kun?"
Kushida Kikyou's question didn't change Hori's calm demeanor.
"Isn't this something hard to guess?" Hori said casually, "Didn't Chabashira-sensei mention before that the school's S System is a real-time monitoring system that calculates students' values? Since it's a real-time monitoring system, students' performance in club activities will also be recorded."
Since it's a real-time monitoring system, students' performance in club activities will also be recorded.
"So, if you perform poorly in club activities, you'll be penalized just like being late, absent, or talking in class."
Hori said indifferently.
"Since there are rules for deductions, there must also be rules for additions. That's normal."
And these addition rules must involve being active in club activities.
Just like Ichinose Honami said, as long as you achieve good results in competitions, you'll be rewarded with personal points, which will also increase class points.
Ichinose Honami thought Kikyou's decision was wise because of this.
"Ike-kun and Yamauchi-kun, I don't know much about them, but Sudou-kun has already caught the attention of the basketball club's advisor. Even though he's in his first year, he might become a regular member, right?"
That's what Ichinose Honami said.
"With that kind of ability, he'll definitely become a treasure for the class in the future."
That's Ichinose Honami's view.
Kushida Kikyou could only smile bitterly at this.
"I didn't think about it that much. I just wanted to help them because they're my friends."
That's Kushida Kikyou's statement.
Unfortunately, only Hori, who knows her true nature, knows how much truth is behind this.
But this statement shouldn't be wrong, right?
Perhaps Kushida Kikyou didn't really value Ike Kanji, Yamauchi Haruki, and Sudou Ken in her heart, but she just said she should at least maintain a good appearance.
For this reason, Kushida Kikyou had to step forward.
This is the price she had to pay to be friends with everyone and maintain a good appearance.
For the existence of "friends" and "image" like this, Kushida Kikyou had to stand up no matter what.
Ichinose Honami, who didn't know this, could only admire Kushida Kikyou's surface image.
"Kikyou is really kind."
Ichinose Honami was successfully deceived by Kushida Kikyou's surface image.
"That's not true." Kushida Kikyou said embarrassedly, "And, I just spent some points. Hori-kun is the really kind one."
"Me?" Hori was also surprised.
"Isn't that right?" Kushida Kikyou tilted her head, smiling, "If it weren't for Hori-kun revealing the school's future exam policy and the remedial measures for personal points, we would have been in big trouble."
That makes sense.
If Hori hadn't provided the truth, Ike Kanji, Yamauchi Haruki, and Sudou Ken would have been expelled, and no one would have thought it was a good idea to keep them, let alone know that personal points could be used to buy scores and cancel failing results.
Even if Hori didn't help pay any personal points, his contribution in terms of intelligence was not small.
However...
"Even if I hadn't said anything at the time, this outcome wouldn't have changed at all."
Hori said nonchalantly, leaving both Kushida Kikyou and Ichinose Honami stunned.
"The outcome..."
"It wouldn't change...?"
Kushida Kikyou and Ichinose Honami looked puzzled.
Seeing this, Hori smirked and reminded Kushida Kikyou.
"Think about it, Kikyou. Who made me reveal this information in the first place?"
With that sentence, Kushida Kikyou suddenly realized.
"Chabashira-sensei..."
Yes.
If it weren't for Chabashira Sae asking Hori questions, Hori wouldn't have thought to disclose that information and would have just observed silently.
In the end, the reason Hori provided that information was solely because of Chabashira Sae's questioning.
Moreover, before Hori, Chabashira Sae had also asked Horikita Suzune and Ayanokouji Kiyotaka.
What does that indicate?
"That teacher was trying to induce the emergence of this information, right?"
Hori asserted.
"Even if I hadn't said anything at the time, Chabashira-sensei would have continued to ask others, using other methods to induce students to bring this information to the attention of everyone in Class D."
After all, it wasn't just Hori who knew this information in Class D.
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka knew, and even Kouenji Rokusuke seemed to know about this information.
Even if Hori hadn't revealed any information, wouldn't Chabashira Sae continue to induce these two to answer?
In that case, the outcome wouldn't change at all, right?
"In other words, Chabashira-sensei didn't actually want to see Ike-kun, Yamauchi-kun, and Sudou-kun expelled, so she wanted someone to bring this information forward, right?"
Kushida Kikyou realized.
"That's a possibility because teachers seem unable to disclose too many rules. In situations where the class advisor can't explain the rules proactively, they can only induce students to discover and speak out themselves."
Ichinose Honami also believed in this explanation.
Because...
"In this school, the class at graduation will determine the evaluation of the homeroom teacher."
Ichinose Honami revealed another important piece of information.
