Hachiman’s Classroom of Strength’s Supremacy

Chapter 042: Sakayanagi Arisu Didn’t Get It!

“You previously mentioned that according to past data, after the first month, the class evaluation score for Class D would probably be around four to five hundred points,”

“And now, I realize that the destructive power of my classmates is beyond imagination,” Hachiman said. “So, I suspect that if we do nothing, by the end of the month, our class evaluation score will become zero.”

Hachiman’s tone sounded somewhat despondent.

Those who heard him felt a sense of sadness.

Because.

Five days, 500 points deducted.

“……” X2

It really seems hopeless.

But it was also somewhat perceptible that in Class A, some students were from Sakayanagi Arisu’s radical faction, while others preferred the more stable type like Katsuragi.

But no matter which faction, there was one task that everyone had to do.

That was to gather intelligence.

The first month was about assessing students’ behavioral norms.

Class A students had taken shortcuts, knowing how to respond and how to take the exams. So, by the end of this month, they would likely get excellent results and have already distanced themselves from the lower-ranked classes.

Then some students started interacting with the students from Class D.

And then…

Well.

It really does seem pretty bad over there.

But…

“What does this have to do with us?” Kamuro, standing behind Sakayanagi Arisu, asked.

Because, indeed.

How does Class D’s decline have anything to do with Class A?

“Kamuro-san,” but before Hachiman could speak, Princess Sakayanagi Arisu said, “Please don’t bring trouble to the class.”

?

Kamuro Masumi looked at Sakayanagi in confusion.

Because, if Class D is doing badly, doesn’t that mean Class A is safer?

After all, if the lower-ranked classes can’t catch up, Class A will be secure forever.

Hachiman put his hand on his knee.

“Sakayanagi-san probably means that if Class D continues to fail, and since we’re already at 0 points, why not drag down other classes as well?”

“After all, once we hit 0 points, there’s almost no hope of promotion, so our bottom line can keep dropping.”

“For example, if once we reach 0 points, no further deductions are possible, then we could do things that would cause both our class and others to lose points, and if other classes are still above 0, they could still lose points.”

“And if we go to the extreme, we could drag Classes A, B, and C all to 0 points.”

Hachiman said.

And so, is the plan really to bring all four classes, even Class A, to the same 0-point starting line?

Uh.

You guys are really messed up.

“……” Kamuro Masumi.

Kamuro decided it was better to stay quiet.

He had just heard a proposal that seemed too devilish.

“But doing that, Class D would also be in danger, right?” Sakayanagi Arisu said.

Although Kamuro was her pet, if her pet was in trouble, as the owner, she had to get some justice.

“Because if the school notices such intentions, your whole Class D might be expelled.”

“After all, the higher-year Class D also doesn’t have a great score. If they all start copying your behavior, it would create chaos, with students using blackmail to affect the higher-ranked classes.”

“And the school certainly won’t allow that.”

“So, they will make an example out of your first-year Class D.” Sakayanagi Arisu said.

And this argument was quite powerful.

But.

“That’s indeed possible,” Hachiman said. “It’s just a hypothesis.”

Oh.

Such a terrifying hypothesis.

Does that mean there’s no threat?

No.

There still is. For example, what if we just do it once or twice?

Then it could still bring down Class A’s score.

Uh.

Kamuro Masumi thought hard in her mind.

And then suddenly realized… what Sakayanagi Arisu said earlier about Hachiman needing attention—she might have been right. Hachiman might actually be more suited for Class A than Katsuragi’s follower, Totsuka Yahiko.

At that time, Kamuro thought Sakayanagi was talking nonsense.

Even commercial flattery shouldn’t be taken this far.

But.

Now she was experiencing it.

Hachiman, this guy, was a bit terrifying.

But for now, it was better to stay quiet.

She was a Class A student, of course, hoping to graduate from Class A and have the school fulfill its promises. She had a career she wanted to pursue.

But she also knew that her own abilities were not enough.

Relying on Katsuragi… she always felt that, although he was stable, there was a feeling of not being able to fully trust him.

But relying on Sakayanagi Arisu, Kamuro’s weaknesses were under Sakayanagi’s control. Even if she tried to escape, it would be useless.

So, she could only stay quiet.

……

“But I don’t think you would go through all that trouble for Class D,” Sakayanagi Arisu said.

“After all, you didn’t accept my offer to support you,” Sakayanagi Arisu added. “So, what happened to make you so concerned about this?”

“…Let’s forget about the support thing,” Hachiman said. “I won’t betray my class.”

“And besides, I was the one who proposed splitting the bill, if you really wanted to pay, then you should have done so at that time, not split the bill with me, including the private room fees,” Hachiman said.

And this was referring to when the two of them met the day before, and after their confrontation, they went to the cafeteria on the third floor together.

At that time, Hachiman split the bill.

At that time, she thought Hachiman was a person without grace.

But now…

Was he trying to make her pay?

Is that how it was?

Sakayanagi Arisu realized she had missed that point.
