Hachiman’s Classroom of Strength’s Supremacy

Chapter 051: Surveillance Destruction, First-Year Class D Loses 50 Points!

Sakayanagi Arisu often contradicted herself, but there was no denying that she was incredibly useful.

Her intellect was exceptionally sharp.

According to her own words, even though she wasn’t blessed with a healthy body like ordinary people, when God closed one door for her, He opened another.

Her intelligence and comprehension abilities far surpassed those of normal people.

In other words—she was a genius.

She could master anything she learned at an astonishing speed.

And when it came to strategizing, things were even simpler for her.

This was something Kamuro Masumi understood well.

Having served under Sakayanagi for the past few days, she had gained even more insight into her abilities.

For example, despite only being in high school, Sakayanagi had already self-studied college-level courses.

It was absolutely absurd.

“However,”

Having just touched on the topic of romance, Sakayanagi gripped her cane and spoke again.

“Our lives may soon face a challenge.”

“Kamuro, choosing to place your bet on me might just be the smartest decision you make in these three years of school.”

“……”

Kamuro gave her a flat look. “Are you just praising yourself? Yeah, yeah, fine—I admit you’re better than Katsuragi. Happy now?”

“That’s not what I meant, Kamuro.” Sakayanagi chuckled. “What I’m saying is, the full-scale class war is about to begin.”

“And our Class A will be swept into it as well.”

“The advantage that Class A was planning to establish and maintain in this first month will likely be disrupted.”

“Katsuragi’s so-called ‘stable strategy’—it’s ruined.”

But—

Kamuro stared at her, her clear eyes filled with confusion.

Sakayanagi had already assessed Kamuro’s intelligence and knew she was the type with strong physical abilities but a weak mind.

Kamuro simply wasn’t good at thinking deeply, but that was fine—Sakayanagi could handle all the thinking.

Kamuro just needed to do the legwork.

If anything, when Sakayanagi first arrived at this school, she had some concerns about whether she could adapt to the campus life due to her physical limitations.

But in the end, Kamuro turned out to be a gift from the heavens—her perfect tool.

And because Sakayanagi valued her tools, she treated Kamuro with considerable patience.

“This school prioritizes ability above all else. It expects students to grow through competition, using the class system as the foundation. This is already common knowledge.”

“Upon enrollment, in the interest of fairness, each class was given the same starting point—1,000 Class Evaluation Points.”

“Then, as standard procedure, the first month serves as an evaluation period based on behavioral norms, determining whether students meet the standards of Advanced Nurturing High School.”

“Any inappropriate behavior results in point deductions.”

“All of this is well-known information.”

“But—what if a problem arises during this process?”

“What if something forces the school to announce the results earlier than the originally scheduled date of the first of next month?”

Sakayanagi gripped her cane tightly and continued,

“Then the Class Evaluation Points—which ordinary students don’t even know about—along with the entire class competition system, would be exposed.”

“So, essentially, we paid 2 million points to get ahead and acquire the exam questions, and now they’ve been leaked.”

Sakayanagi Arisu said this as she picked up her cane and poked it at the ground, then continued to explain.

“This is a terrifying outcome.”

“Even the average students in Class A would probably be panicking now.”

“That’s why, during lunch break, I said we accidentally unleashed a demon king. And this demon king is really aggressive.”

“Demon king… well, let’s call him Demon King Hikigaya Hachiman,” Sakayanagi said.

She appeared completely relaxed, even giving Hikigaya a nickname.

But—

“It’s impossible, right? The first month of school is the standard behavior and ethics exam, and the results are usually announced on the 1st of next month. Isn’t that the custom?” Kamuro said quickly. “So why would the school announce it early?”

“Because of an unexpected incident, like the surveillance cameras being damaged. Once something like that happens and the class evaluation points are affected, it’s necessary to update the student council as well.”

“Our school administration is separate from the student council, but both have significant authority.”

“Sometimes the student council even has the power to intervene in special exams every month.”

“Especially since President Horikita is someone who is very upright and will enforce the rules fairly. So, when he notices that enforcement is needed, he will act. It’s only natural that the evaluation points for all four classes will be published in a timely manner.”

“So that’s the real reason why Hikigaya went to the student council for consultation.”

“He probably wanted to have his own class points deducted in order to reveal the evaluation points. This guy is truly bold.”

“And meanwhile, our Class D’s Katsuragi completely ignored it.” Sakayanagi Arisu pouted.

She seemed to be starting to doubt the abilities of her teammates.

Because if Katsuragi had been steady enough, he would have been more cautious upon hearing about Hikigaya’s ridiculous actions. He should have been more alert.

Instead, it turned into a situation where everyone was left passive.

But—

“Ah… so that’s how it is… What should we do now…”

Kamuro finally realized what had happened and started to feel a panic building up.

After all, she was just an ordinary student from Class A.

“Well, we just have to let it go.” Sakayanagi Arisu said. “At this point, we have no other choice but to accept it. And our class won’t lose. After all, even if they know the exam questions, there will still be people who fail, right?”

“So, what we need to worry about is Class B.”

“They are the closest in strength to our class.”

Sakayanagi Arisu seemed to have come up with a solution.

But then, she suddenly smiled.

“If it really comes to that, I’ll be quite interested in the so-called class competition.”

“Before, the opponents were too weak, which was boring, but now, I’m kind of excited.”

“Earlier during lunch, I was wondering what Hikigaya’s direct declaration of war against us meant. Now I see…”

“Hikigaya, you really have surprised me in this school life.”

“But how will you handle the remaining 20 days of this month?”

“Because, as you said, even if the students in your class are notified of the open-book exam, there will still be people who fail.”

After this conversation between Sakayanagi Arisu and Kamuro, the following day—

During lunch break, a new announcement appeared on the student council’s bulletin board.

At the same time, the first-year students were surprised to see student council members with armbands heading to their first-year classroom building. They wrote something on the small, low-profile blackboard.

First-Year Class A: 996 points
First-Year Class B: 834 points
First-Year Class C: 611 points
First-Year Class D: 530 points

But soon after, an additional correction appeared—Class D’s 530 points were crossed out and replaced with a deduction of 50 points.

Class D’s final score was revised to 480 points.

On the side, the student council also posted an explanation regarding the 50-point deduction for Class D.

[First-Year Class D, Hikigaya Hachiman, due to damaging the school’s surveillance cameras, the student council has imposed a 50-point deduction from Class D’s evaluation score. We hope this serves as a warning not to repeat such actions.

And then—

The first-year students… exploded.
