Hachiman Hikigaya's Classroom Of The Elite - Volume 1 Chapter 5: Are You Doing It on Purpose or by Accident?

Seeing Hachiman contemplating to this extent, Hoshinomiya, who initially wanted to slack off, also became serious.

“Hoshinomiya-sensei.”

Hachiman was a bit puzzled, “How many people had the right to choose their careers freely last year?”

Since Hoshinomiya couldn’t answer, he decided to approach it from a different angle. If he understood the situation from the previous year, he could roughly infer the specific conditions needed for the freedom to choose a career.

“Hmm.”

Avoiding the topic, Hoshinomiya Chie blinked her beautiful eyes, “By the way, Hachiman-kun, why did you respond to me? Could it be that you were captivated by sensei?”

“Haha…”

Hachiman chuckled nervously.

He couldn’t determine whether it was due to the restrictions of the rules or if this unreliable teacher was intentionally fooling around.

“Never mind. Since you’ve considered this point.”

Hoshinomiya, with an unhappy expression, sighed and said, “I can answer. Only people from Class A have the right to choose their careers freely.”

It wasn’t surprising.

After all, it was one of the possibilities he had anticipated.

Only Class A had the opportunity to choose their careers freely, indicating they must have corresponding promotion channels.

“So, how many ways are there to move up to Class A?”

Hachiman asked indifferently.

Since he couldn’t drop out of school, he might as well try to obtain this right as much as possible.

Moreover, now that he was in Class B, and with outstanding individuals like Honami and Kanzaki, it was only a matter of time before he moved up to Class A.

“Such a cunning way of asking questions.”

Hoshinomiya pouted.

She thought it was a bit despicable to directly ask how to move up to Class A, rather than simply asking how one could move up to A class.

“Being cunning or not, sensei is too much.”

Hachiman said seriously, “This is just finding the answer in the most efficient way. Even the police choose the most efficient methods. In fact, this is the correct choice.”

“Moreover, considering that Hoshinomiya-sensei might not be able to answer directly, I intentionally used this questioning method so that sensei could answer as she sees fit. You could say I’m considering sensei by using this method.”

It wasn’t him being clever.

“Hmm?”

Hoshinomiya Chie was slightly stunned.

She just realized that this guy also had the habit of being stubborn. It seemed that he was not really concerned about getting an answer.

“Sensei, just listen carefully.”

Hoshinomiya tapped his head with the bookbag, then raised her snowy white chin proudly:

“There are two ways to move up to Class A. The first way can’t be told to you now. The second way is to gather two million… points, and you will obtain the right to transfer.”

“I see. Hoshinomiya-sensei, what did you just say about… points? What does it mean?”

“Nothing at all.”

“You clearly said something!”

“I said there was nothing.”

Hoshinomiya Chie put her hands on her hips, leaned slightly forward, and stared at Hachiman with her beautiful eyes.

“Uh…”

Hachiman, who thought he had some emotional intelligence, couldn’t help but feel that Hoshinomiya had touched on some taboo topic and accidentally let slip.

…points.

Words starting with “个” are very limited, and the most likely one is “个人” (individual). The corresponding collective term is probably related to classes or grades, and the only class that can be promoted to is Class A.

It seems to involve class points and personal points. According to the speculation of Yukino and others, personal points are likely influenced by class points, but the exact proportion is unclear.

“Okay.”

Hachiman surrendered, “Sensei, did you do it on purpose or was it accidental?”

As an elite teacher in such a top-notch school, it’s hard to imagine that the excellent Hoshinomiya-sensei did it accidentally.

“…”

Hoshinomiya squinted her beautiful eyes and raised her book board as if ready to strike.

“I was wrong.”

Hachiman leaned backward, quickly surrendering, “But with only a hundred thousand per month, it’s impossible to reach twenty million in three years. Are there other ways to earn points? How many methods are there? Has anyone collected twenty million before?”

“Why do you have so many questions?”

Hoshinomiya glared again.

“Isn’t it common sense to ask teachers when you have questions?”

Hachiman retorted stubbornly, “Besides, isn’t it sensei’s duty to intercept for the students?”

“No more questions. I’ll get angry if you ask again!”

Hoshinomiya widened her eyes, and her pink eyes sparkled like jewels, making her look somewhat cute.

The man in front of her was surprisingly insightful, and his questions were too sharp.

Twenty million personal points.

It was just a habit; she accidentally revealed it earlier.

It was only the first day of school.

If he continued to ask, she might even violate the rules.

But penalties were to be deducted from her bonus.

“Understood.”

Feeling that Hoshinomiya might really be angry, Hachiman quickly prepared to leave, “The entrance ceremony is about to begin. I’ll go first.”

After saying that, he turned and walked away, realizing that teachers could be quite terrifying when angry.

“Stop, come back to me.”

At this moment, Hoshinomiya said with a coquettish tone.

It seems like she has figured out how to handle this student.

“Yes!”

Hachiman surrendered again, returning to Hoshinomiya with a forced smile, “Sensei, is there anything else?”

“Hmph. Do you think sensei will let you go so easily?”

Saying that, Hoshinomiya raised her book board as if ready to strike. Hachiman quickly closed his eyes and prepared for a beating.

Maybe letting her hit him once would let her vent her anger. After all, she looked like she was in her twenties, almost reaching menopause. Having a bad temper was normal.

Hachiman thought maliciously.

He then heard a soft whisper near his ear, and a fragrant breath saying, “Sensei doesn’t dislike cunning boys like you, you know.”

Hachiman instantly opened his eyes, and Hoshinomiya Cgue, with her hands behind her back, swayed her body backward until she was a few steps away. The air was still filled with a lily-like fragrance.

“See you later, Hachiman.”

With her hands behind her back, Hoshinomiya took a few steps back until she disappeared.

Watching her leaving figure, Hachiman’s face turned slightly red.

As a man with a lot of dark history and no previous girlfriends, the scene just now was too stimulating. If he were still in middle school, he would have confessed instantly and probably get rejected.

Being rejected!

About 80% of men in the world hold the foolish idea of ‘Does she like me?’.

As a seasoned loner, he couldn’t fall into the same pit twice.

However, he still wasn’t very good at dealing with this teacher.
