Chapter 28: -28- The end of the daily life
The next day.
After Nanaya Hori finished his usual morning exercise and returned to his room, he took a cold shower, grabbed his backpack, and headed to the classroom.
Originally, judging from the lively discussion in the chat group last night, Nanaya Hori would immediately be subjected to the merciless scrutiny of the boys once he entered the classroom.
However, during this period, something happened that overshadowed the heat of this topic.
As soon as Nanaya Hori entered the classroom, he immediately noticed that the students in the classroom were discussing this matter.
"Hey, have you confirmed your points?"
"Yeah, I have."
"None of them came in?"
"Nope."
"Didn't they say they'd transfer the points on the first of every month?"
"Why didn't we receive any?"
In the classroom, boys and girls alike were discussing, filled with confusion and bewilderment, which permeated the entire room.
Including Hirata Yousuke, Karuizawa Kei, Kushida Kikyou, Ike Kanji, and Yamauchi Haruki, everyone was confirming this matter with their close friends.
And from the looks of these people, it seemed that none of them had received the new points they were supposed to receive?
As Nanaya Hori sat down, Horikita Suzune, who was sitting next to him, spoke up immediately.
"You haven't received them either?"
Horikita Suzune confirmed her phone and asked Nanaya Hori like this.
Nanaya Hori turned his gaze and happened to see Ayanokouji Kiyotaka on the other side of Horikita Suzune, also checking his phone and shaking his head.
It seemed that Ayanokouji Kiyotaka hadn't received them either.
Of course...
"I haven't either."
Nanaya Hori didn't take out his phone but affirmed like this.
Because, before the morning exercise, Nanaya Hori had already checked the status of his points.
As a result, Nanaya Hori's points remained the same as before, without any increase at all.
"As expected..."
"A divergence is coming..."
Both Horikita Suzune and Ayanokouji Kiyotaka murmured like this.
Everyone was caught in confusion, misunderstanding, and even anxiety because of this matter.
Especially those who spent their points recklessly, such as Ike Kanji, Yamauchi Haruki, and even Karuizawa Kei, who spent a lot of effort on dressing up, showed signs of restlessness, indicating that the points were completely exhausted and urgently needed new points for relief.
This made the noise in the entire classroom louder and louder, to the point where even Hirata Yousuke couldn't bear it anymore.
"Everyone, please don't worry."
As a leader in the class, Hirata Yousuke stood up and addressed everyone.
"Why don't I go to the faculty office and confirm with Chabashira-sensei?"
Hirata Yousuke's words were well received by everyone in the class.
But...
"No need, Hirata, I'm already here."
With the sound of such a calm voice as usual, Chabashira Sae pushed open the classroom door and walked in from outside.
Under her armpit, there were even a few sheets of white paper rolled into a tube.
"Sensei...?"
"Chabashira-sensei...?"
In the originally extremely noisy classroom, each student made a surprised sound.
Perhaps everyone had already noticed it?
Today, Chabashira Sae felt completely different.
Usually, Chabashira Sae was a very indifferent person.
And today, the air surrounding Chabashira Sae seemed to have become colder.
This made the students in the class involuntarily quiet down.
In this situation, Chabashira Sae stepped onto the platform.
"I know you have many questions, the biggest of which is why your points for this month haven't been transferred to you, right?"
Chabashira Sae spoke in her usual indifferent style.
"I can answer you. You don't need to think too much, such as whether the school made a mistake that caused the points not to be transferred to you. Such thoughts are unnecessary; only this is the truth."
Chabashira Sae's words made the students look at each other in confusion.
Nanaya Hori also narrowed his eyes and, like Horikita Suzune and Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, silently observed the situation.
The situation progressed with these three maintaining complete silence.
And the one to push the discussion forward was, naturally, Hirata Yousuke.
"Sensei, to be honest, I don't understand what you mean."
Hirata Yousuke asked on behalf of the whole class.
"If it's not a mistake on the school's part, then why weren't the points transferred this month? Aren't we supposed to receive a hundred thousand points every month?"
Upon hearing Hirata Yousuke's question, Chabashira Sae smiled.
"A hundred thousand points transferred every month?" Chabashira Sae said frankly, "When did I ever say such a thing?"
With that sentence, everyone was stunned.
Only those with good memory recalled what Chabashira Sae had said at that time.
That's right.
Chabashira Sae indeed never said that a hundred thousand points would be transferred to each person every month.
At that time, Chabashira Sae only said this.
"The school will automatically transfer the required points to all students on the first of every month—I just said that."
Chabashira Sae's indifferent reminder made all the students understand.
In other words...
"The points you can have this month, as you've confirmed, are completely '0.'"
Such a declaration came emotionlessly from Chabashira Sae's mouth.
The students in the class couldn't maintain their silence any longer.
"How can this be!?"
"Why is it zero!?"
"So, we won't have any points this month?"
"I can't accept this!"
The students protested unanimously.
However...
"Who told you that your points for this month are zero?"
Chabashira Sae mercilessly dropped a bombshell.
"If this situation continues, the points you'll receive next will be zero, even if you advance to the second year, third year, or until graduation."
This bombshell stunned everyone.
"The points we'll receive next will be zero...?"
"Impossible..."
The students were not only angry but also stunned.
Even Horikita Suzune and Ayanokouji Kiyotaka frowned.
These two shouldn't have squandered their points entirely but should have saved a considerable amount, right?
However, even if they had a hundred thousand points, it wouldn't be realistic to live on that amount for the next three years.
Nanaya Hori, on the other hand, understood.
"So that's it. That's why this school provides various free services?"
Those free services exist because of this situation.
The school doesn't transfer a hundred thousand points to students every month for them to squander but chooses to provide them under certain conditions.
So, students need free items.
As Nanaya Hori had previously guessed.
Even with a hundred thousand points, there will eventually be times when free items are needed.
This school is not a paradise.
At least, for the people in this class, what they'll experience next is hell.
