Chapter 52 Was this all part of your plan?

"Everyone..."

"You all..."

As they watched all the students in the class raise their hands one after another, indicating their willingness to contribute their points, Ike Kanji and Yamauchi Haruki were deeply moved. However, for these two, they probably couldn't see that the reason why the whole class was willing to pay their points was not because of them, but because of Kushida Kikyou and Hirata Yousuke's actions, right?

Only a few people didn't raise their hands to indicate their willingness to pay, and one of them was Kouenji Rokusuke, who was sitting in his seat, and looking in the mirror admiring himself as if he didn't hear anything. And, of course, there was Fang Li, who was simply observing the development of the situation.

As for Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, he raised his hand just like everyone else, seemingly to avoid standing out as a special student in the class.

"I can contribute 50,000 points," he said.

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's offer was almost as high as Kushida Kikyou's and Hirata Yousuke's. Given his savings from last month, he still had more than 80,000 private points, so he could easily afford to pay 50,000 points.

Surprisingly, Horikita Suzune, who had remained silent until now, also raised her hand.

"I'll contribute 50,000 points too," she said.

Like Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, Horikita Suzune had more than 80,000 ptivate points, so she could easily afford to contribute such a substantial amount.

"H-Horikita, you..." Sudou Ken was astonish and looked at Horikita Suzune.

He couldn't help but feel surprised. Just yesterday, their relationship had been so tense that he never would have expected Horikita Suzune to willingly pay so many private points just to keep them in the class.

But Horikita Suzune wasn't being soft-hearted.

"Don't get me wrong. I'm only contributing points for my own sake, not for you guys. I want to go to Class-A and I need talented students on my team for future competition," she said in a cold tone.

Horikita Suzune's words were true. She wasn't contributing points for the sake of Sudou Ken and his friends, but for her own goals and ambitions.

Of course, with her self-esteem, it's likely that Horikita Suzune also had the idea of using this to wash away her past mistakes, right?

She wanted to show through her actions that she was no longer naive, and that she was willing to change and improve.

But just like with Ike Kanji and Yamauchi Haruki, Sudou Ken couldn't understand the depth of her intentions.

Therefore, Sudou Ken's gaze towards Horikita Suzune had changed, and it was no longer filled with hostility like before.

The whole class D immediately offered a large amount of personal points.

"The rest, I will immediately borrow from my friends."

"I will also immediately pay it back, is that okay?"

Kushida Kikyou and Hirata Yousuke confirmed with Chabashira Sae.

Then, Chabashira Sae fell silent.

"————"

The voices in the classroom immediately disappeared again.

Everyone was staring at Chabashira Sae, feeling uneasy.

Especially Ike Kanji, Yamauchi Haruki, and Sudou Ken, who could only write hope and anxiety on their faces.

After a while, Chabashira Sae sighed helplessly.

"I understand, I will accept your request."

As Chabashira Sae sighed, her tone became bit lighter.

"I will sell you these 24 points, but remember to pay all the points back."

After speaking, Chabashira Sae put away the poster tube and left the classroom.

Only the students were left, looking at each other.

After a moment...

"Yayayayayayayayayayayay!"

The whole class D was suddenly filled with joyous atmosphere.

"We're saved!"

"I thought we were going to be expelled!"

Ike Kanji and Yamauchi Haruki hugged each other tightly, tears streaming down their faces.

"Phew..."

Sudou Ken also breathed a sigh of relief, and a rare innocent smile appeared on his previously fierce face.

The whole class D was suddenly in a jubilant mood.

"Thank you, Kushida-chan!"

"Kushida-chan is truly an angel in our class!"

"Thanks, Kushida."

Ike Kanji, Yamauchi Haruki, and Sudou Ken surrounded Kushida Kikyou, and began to praise her.

"It's nothing, we're all friends."

Kushida Kikyou said with a smile that made Ike Kanji and Yamauchi Haruki's eyes turn into hearts.

The other students also praised Kushida Kikyou.

After all, in order to help Ike Kanji, Yamauchi Haruki, and Sudou Ken, Kushida Kikyou would soon owe a considerable debt.

Naturally, Hirata Yousuke was the same.

By helping their classmates to such an extent, Kushida Kikyou and Hirata Yousuke's status in the class suddenly soared.

Ike Kanji, Yamauchi Haruki, and Sudou Ken were also grateful and promised to repay their private points as soon as possible.

Class D was showing an unprecedented solidarity at this moment.

Fang Li watched this scene from the back of the classroom without getting involved.

"Is this your plan all along?" Ayanokouji Kiyotaka came up to Fang Li's side and looked out at the scene with him, speaking without a trace of suspicion.

"Watching Ike Kanji, Yamauchi Haruki, and Sudou Ken fail, and on the day the results are released, revealing the truth about the upcoming exams and the importance of Private Points to the entire class, so that the whole Class D will work together to prevent those three from being expelled and change the scattered state of the class."

This is not impossible to do.

As long as you know that the upcoming exams at the Advanced Nurturing High School are not just written exams, but also various types of exams, the fact that Ike Kanji, Yamauchi Haruki, and Sudou Ken are indispensable talents at that time, the classmates in the class, whether out of goodwill or selfishness, will want to stop this from happening and at least not think that it is a good thing for these three to be expelled.

In this case, when private points are needed, as long as someone takes the lead and calls on everyone to work together, the classmates in the class will more or less contribute.

In this situation, the cohesion of the class will naturally increase in the shared suffering.

In addition, the lack of a large number of private points will make Ike Kanji, Yamauchi Haruki, and Sudou Ken grateful and guilty towards the classmates who helped them. As a result, these three will definitely start to behave themselves and become honest.

This is undoubtedly a great thing for the entire D class.

"can I understand that this is all your plan behind the scenes?" Ayanokouji Kiyotaka believed that Fang Li had planned this situation long ago.

However...

"You're overthinking things."

Fang Li replied with indifference.

"I've already said that I'm not interested in this kind of thing."

This sentence entered the ears of Ayanokouji Kiyotaka.

"... Is that so?"

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka nodded his head, unsure if he believed it or not.

The two continued to gaze at the lively scene in the class.

Unaware of it all, Horikita Suzune was looking at them with a complex expression.

Then, Horikita Suzune whispered to herself.

"How much am I lagging behind those two?"

This was the thing that Horikita Suzune wanted to know the most at the moment.

The first hurdle for Class D in their first year has been cleared today.

But, can they keep up the momentum going forward?

No one knows for sure.
