Chapter 181: -180- What more do you want
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's explanation made Chabashira Sae furrow her brows, and she also looked at Hori.
Hori didn't say anything, just listened quietly.
In such a situation, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka continued his explanation.
"The current situation also proves this point. After the special exam ended, there was only a difference of 1 point between Class C and Class D. This is an extremely delicate gap."
If Horikita Suzune could notice anomalies, how could Ayanokouji Kiyotaka not notice them?
If Hori were to use his true abilities, even with the restrictions of the rules, he could achieve the terrifying result of 660 points. How could he not be able to earn even a single point?
Even without asking Class B for this point, Hori could earn it on his own. With his ability, saving one point among the points available to the class is easy, or at least finding a stronghold, occupying it, and obtaining the reward points for that one point is not difficult at all.
Therefore, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka affirmed, "Once Nanaya Hori exerts his full strength, not to mention Class C, even if Class D were to advance to Class B or even directly to Class A after this exam, it wouldn't be impossible."
In front of Chabashira Sae, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka made a statement that would move anyone in the school.
"For Nanaya Hori, class competition is not difficult, so he doesn't have much interest in it."
This is the decisive difference between Hori and Ayanokouji Kiyotaka.
Hori is not interested in class competition because it's not challenging for him.
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka only wants to live freely in the school, so he doesn't want to get involved in too much trouble.
Their fundamental principles of action are different.
Although Hori came to Advanced Nurturing High School to experience campus life, he doesn't dislike competition.
It's more accurate to say that Hori has been accustomed to life-and-death competition since childhood, so this level of competition is nothing to him.
Therefore, in Hori's view, even this kind of competition is part of campus life, so he naturally accepts it.
So, after enrolling, Hori, even if he is not interested in class competition, still thinks about the school's system and rules.
He competes not with classes, but with the school.
This is Nanaya.
This is Hori.
"Perhaps you have considered making me your front, right?" Ayanokouji Kiyotaka said to Hori in front of Chabashira Sae. "If all strongholds are occupied, and only Class D has a camp, then Class A, Class B, and Class C will definitely suspect that someone in Class D has done all this."
Anyone who can detect all the strongholds on the island and has the ability to silently occupy all the strongholds in a short time would first suspect Hori.
As a result, as long as they endure until the end of the exam, if one class guesses that Hori is the leader, all the reward points of Class D will be invalidated.
After all, only the leader can use the key card.
In Class D's camp, although Ayanokouji Kiyotaka held the key card and updated the ownership of the strongholds many times, it was just for show, not actually using the key card.
Since only the leader can use the key card, and it's Hori who secretly occupies all the strongholds, no matter which class, they will suspect Hori is the leader.
Then, on the day of the exam, as long as one class writes down Hori's name, Class D will lose all the reward points and be deducted 50 points. Even if the leader of the other classes is guessed, the points will be declared invalid, so Class D will only get a maximum of 250 points.
Of course, even so, with these 250 points, it's not difficult to get first place.
Even if the leader is guessed, the other classes without strongholds cannot maintain their points intact. Even Class A, if someone falls due to environmental discomfort and is deducted 30 points, the final score will be only 240 points, not to mention being guessed by Hori as the leader.
But Hori doesn't even reveal this flaw, so he pushes Ayanokouji Kiyotaka to act as the leader on the surface, misleading others and facilitating his own covert actions without suspicion.
All these signs indicate that Hori has not exerted his full strength.
"...Why?" Chabashira Sae understood everything and asked Hori in amazement.
Why doesn't Hori exert his full strength?
If he did, perhaps Class D would already be in Class A?
Facing Chabashira Sae's question, this time, Hori didn't casually brush it off like he did with Horikita Suzune.
Hori just smirked and replied naturally, "With only 2.4 million, what more do you want?"
A very simple sentence, yet it explains everything.
Yeah.
Just 2.4 million, what else do you want?
You should know that the right to freely advance to Class A, if bought with points, would require 20 million per person.
Are you asking Hori to bring the entire class of 40 people up to Class A together?
"If you bring 800 million points to me, I'll help you."
This simple response instantly left Chabashira Sae speechless.
In other words, the reason Hori doesn't exert his full strength is because the current results are worth that price.
With 2.4 million points, making Class D only 1 point behind Class C.
This achievement is already quite astonishing.
If truly converted into points, the reward of 2.4 million is definitely not enough.
Hori has already done his utmost.
"But what about you, Chabashira-sensei? Your actions are what truly surprise people, aren't they?" Hori looked at Chabashira Sae with a meaningful smile. "I thought you also had no interest in class competition, but unexpectedly, to let Class D win this time, not only did you hire me, but you also brought out Ayanokouji. What are you really thinking?"
At these words, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka also shifted his gaze to Chabashira Sae.
It seems that Ayanokouji Kiyotaka also wants to know the answer to this question.
Under the scrutiny of the two, Chabashira Sae's speechlessness was replaced by silence.
After a while, Chabashira Sae smiled as if giving up.
Her smile was full of irony.
It wasn't directed at Hori and Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, but at herself.
"You probably don't know, do you?"
Chabashira Sae spoke indifferently.
"Before, I was also a student at Advanced Nurturing High School, and like you, I was also in Class D."
This was truly a surprising revelation.
"At that time, things were different from now. There was no extreme gap between the four classes, and they were almost evenly matched. Even Class A dared not underestimate Class D. By the third semester of graduation, the difference in class points between the best Class A and the worst Class D was less than 100 points. Just because of a small mistake, it would lead to the collapse of balance."
When saying this, Chabashira Sae's words did not show any sense of pride, but were full of regret.
In other words...
"That small mistake happened."
Chabashira Sae said sarcastically.
"Because of me, Class D fell into hell, and the goals and dreams of becoming Class A was shattered."
This is Chabashira Sae's past.
At the same time, it is also the obsession of this teacher.
