Chapter 3 - Part 3: Saving the Future Pawn

From the first person Ayanakoji

"And so, let's move on to the next video." Tadlatar said.

After that, everyone turned their eyes to the screen.

"Well, first of all, let's take a look at the initial image that is associated with the video."

4

"You failed, Sudo" 

"What?"

"Wait, so this will be a video at the time when Ken almost flew in?" Ike asked3

"Exactly" Tadlatar replied

"What? So this dog should be excluded? Kukuku so why the fuck are you still here?" Ryuuen asked

"Shut up Ryuen. Suzune saved me." Sudo shouted

"Yes? Kukuku, interesting" Ryuuen said, looking at me

"Why is he looking at me?"

"Fufufu, I agree, Ryuen-kun" Sakayanagi said, also looking at me

"Okay, let's get started" God interrupted

Entering the classroom, Chabashira-sensei looked around at the students in surprise. Everyone was anxiously waiting for the results of the midterms.

— Teacher, I heard that the test results will appear today. When will they tell us?

— You don't have to worry so much, Hirata. You must have passed.

— So when will they be?

— Well, now is the right time. If we postpone the announcement of the results for later, there may not be enough time for some additional procedures.

Some immediately showed interest in the teacher's words.

—What... what do you mean?

— Don't worry, I'll explain everything now.

After all, the school likes to explain the details in batches.

She attached a sheet with names and scores to the board.

— I'm telling you honestly, you're great. I didn't think your class would do so well. In mathematics, Japanese and sociology, ten people received excellent grades at once.

The students were jubilant, looking at the even rows of one-hundred-point grades.* And yet, not everyone was smiling and rejoicing.

There was a big problem – the assessment of Sudo in English. For the first four tests Sudo received 60 points, but in English he has only 39. And then...

"Oh, oh, oh, look at this happy dog." Ryuen said

"Shut up Ryuen" Sudo shouted again

 Sudo exclaimed, jumping up from his desk. Ike and Yamauchi got up to rejoice with him.

There was no red dividing line on the assessment sheet. Kushida and I exchanged glances and let out sighs of relief. Horikita... wasn't smiling or happy, but she looked pleased.

— You saw it, didn't you, Teacher? When we try, we succeed! Ike said triumphantly.

— Yes, I see, and it's a great job. However... - Chabashira-sensei had a red pen in her hand.

— What? Sudo involuntarily blurted out.

She drew a red line over Sudo's name.

— What the hell? What does it mean?

— You failed, Sudo.

"Kukukuhahahahahahahahaha, that's the best I've ever heard" Ryuuen shouted out laughing

"Fufufufu, I agree with the dragon boy." Supported, Sakayanagi

"But, wait. And how did they save him?" Hashimoto asked

"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, this is the very first test. And they definitely don't have 20 million points. So how did they save him?" Kanzaki asked

"Well, let's just take a look." Horikita replied

— what? You're kidding, right? Don't fool me, why did I fail?! - he immediately began to be indignant.

The mood in the class went from jubilant to outraged in less than a second.

— Sudo, you didn't pass the English test.

— But the passing score is 32!

— And who told you that the passing score is 32?

— That's what you said, Teacher?! Really, guys? Ike shouted, supporting Sudo.

— No matter what you say, it won't help. There is no mistake here. In the midterms, the passing score was 40. Which means you're missing a point. Close, but not close enough.

"Seriously? Dude, I feel your pain" Said one of the students of class A

—S-forty? I haven't even heard about it, so I don't agree!

— Can you explain how the passing score is determined?

Chabashira-sensei wrote a formula on the blackboard.

There was: "79.6/2=39.8".

— On the last test, as well as on this one, each class had a passing score. And it makes up half of the average class.

It turns out that everything below 39.8 points is unsatisfactory.

— As you can see, Sudo, your score is lower.

— Impossible... it turns out... Does that mean I'm excluded?

— We weren't together for long, but you did a great job. After class, you will be asked to fill out an exclusion form, but you will need the presence of your parents or guardians. I'll contact them later.

"That would be terrible. But thanks to Horikita-san, you're still here" Shinohara said

"I know, and I am eternally grateful to her for that" Sudo replied

Everything was happening too fast, but the students were beginning to understand the gravity of the moment.

— Everyone else is just great! At the end of the semester, please try to do the same and pass the exams successfully. Moving on to the next topic...

"It seems like you don't care that your student was expelled by Sae-chan. You're so cruel." Hoshinomiya sensei said while wiping away imaginary tears

Chabashira-sensei simply ignored her.

— Teacher, will Sudo-kun really be expelled? Is there a way to help him? Hirata volunteered first, despite the fact that Sudo hated him, and even insulted him.

— It is. If a student has received an unsatisfactory grade, then he is excluded.

— Can we see Sudo-kun's answer form?

— Are you going to find out if I made any mistakes in my assessment? Well, I knew you'd be interested in that.

"Hirata-kun, always tries to help his classmates. That's why he stands above any other boys" Shinohara said

After that, several eyes were fixed on Hirata

"What? So you're saying he's better than me?" Ike asked5

"Of course you are, you stupid pervert. All you care about is how to spy on girls, but Hirata-kun doesn't" Shinohara replied

"Oooh, shut up. I'm enjoying the show, so if you don't shut up Albert will shut you up" Ryuen spoke up

After mentioning Albert, Ike and Shinohara fell silent

Pulling out Sudo's English answer form, she handed it to Hirata. He looked through the questions with a gloomy look.

— There... there can be no mistakes.

— Well, if that's all, homeroom is over.

Without pity, without giving a chance to justify himself, Chabashira-sensei mercilessly reported his expulsion. Knowing that attempts to calm down would backfire, Ike and Yamauchi remained silent. Hirata too. Unfortunately, part of the class felt relieved. Are they happy that the class nuisance has finally been eliminated?

— Sudo, come to the staff room after school.

— Chabashira-sensei, do you have time? Horikita, who had been silent until now, raised her hand.

"Yes, finally Suzune in action" Sudo shouted2

During all the time of training, this girl has never voluntarily expressed herself in class. This surprised Chabashira-sensei and classmates a little.

— How unusual, Horikita. You raised your hand. What is the question?

— Earlier, on the last test, you said that the passing score was 32, and it was calculated according to the formula that you wrote earlier. Did a mistake creep into the calculation of the passing score for the current test?

— No, no mistakes.

— Then I have one question. I calculated that the average score for the last trial test was 64.4. Dividing by two, you get 32.2. Which means that the scores should have been at least 33. However, you cut off the fractional part, and got a score of 32. Why is everything different now?

2

— Yeah, the passing score should have been 39!

Sudo, by a stretch, but would have passed with 39 points.

— Apparently, you understood that Sudo would get a low score in English. You also have a suspiciously low grade in this subject.

— Horikita, you...- Sudo noticed something. The others, surprised, looked at the table again. Four out of five of her grades were perfect, but she got 51 for English. — You really...- he realized what she had done.

And, of course, not by mistake. In order to lower her GPA, she deliberately lowered her grade.

— If you think I'm wrong, please explain the difference in calculations between the previous test and this one.

The last ray of light. The last drop of hope.

— I understand. Well, let me point out one more thing to you. Unfortunately, there is one mistake in your formula. We did not cut off the fractional part, but simply rounded it up. Last time down to 32, this time up to 40.

— Damn...

— You probably noticed that the passing score was rounded. But to count on such an opportunity ... eh ... it's you in vain. The first lesson will start soon, so I'll go.

Horikita had nothing more to say, and she remained silent. The last hope collapsed. When the teacher left, the door slammed behind her, and the whole class froze in silence.

Silence...

Silence again...

"... Is that all? Is that all your great leader has done? She literally didn't do anything." Ryuen said

"Fufufu, I agree with Ryuen-kun. It was a good attempt, Horikita-san, but alas useless" Sakayanagi said

"Phew, okay. Let's stop this show. Monster, did you save that dog?" Ryuuen looked at me and asked.

"Are you deaf? I told you it was Suzune who saved me." Sudo shouted

"Yes, yes, yes, I see. So what, monster?"

"Just watch the video." I replied

Trying to realize the fact of exclusion, Sudo looked at Horikita, who tried to help him by lowering her own scores.

— I'm sorry, it looks like I should have gotten even less points," Horikita slowly lowered her head.

Even 51 points is dangerously low. If she got 40, she would risk dropping out of school herself.

Everyone in the hall nodded in agreement

— You said you hated me, didn't you?

— Make no mistake, I'm doing this for myself. But even so, it was all in vain.

I slowly got up from my seat.

— Where are you going, Ayanokoji?

— To the toilet.

I left the classroom and headed towards the staff room. Wondering if Chabashira-sensei had already reached the office, I suddenly saw her standing by the window in the corridor. Looks like she was waiting for someone.

"Well, well, well, it looks like something interesting is coming up." Ryuen said

"I also think that something should happen" Supported Sakayanagi1

"Horikita didn't succeed. Do you think you can do something?" Ike asked me

"Just watch the video" I said

"I wonder what you're up to kohai" Kiryuuin asked.

— Ayanokoji, classes will start soon.

— Teacher, can I ask one question?

"What do you want to ask?" Kanzaki asked me

"Watch the video and you'll understand" Still the same I replied

— Question? Is that why you ran after me?

— I need to know.

— First Horikita, and now you. Do you have something to ask too? So what's the matter?

— Do you think there is equality in modern Japanese society?

"What?"

"What kind of question is that? I thought he went to save Ken somehow." Said Ike

"Did you seriously expect something from him?" Shinohara asked

"Why did you ask this question?" Matsushita asked me

"I was just interested in the opinion of others." I replied

"There is no need to guess. There is no equality between us. There will always be someone above, or below, someone." Ryuuen said.

"You're right, dragon boy. For example, I'm taller than you, and I always will be." With a smug smile, Sakayanagi replied8

"What? When was it that you were taller than me?" Ryuuen asked

"Fufufu, yes always."

"You are both wrong dragon boy and little girl. Because only a perfect being like me deserves to be at the top." Koenji said1

"Okay, we'll figure it out later. Now let's watch the video" Mashima-sensei intervened

— What an unexpected change of subject. What good is my answer to you?

— This is very important.

— If you are interested in my personal opinion, then no – there is no equality.

— Yes, I think so too. Justice and equality are just illusions and deception.

— Is that what you wanted to know? If that's all, then I'm off.

— A week ago, when you said that the list of topics for the test had changed, you said something like: "I forgot to tell you." Because of this, we found out about everything a week later than the rest of the classes.

— That's what I said in the staff room. What's next?

— And although the answers, the calculation of points and the danger of exclusion are the same for all classes, only Class D was treated unfairly. 

"I agree sensei that this is unfair." Said Ike

"Like I said, I forgot to warn you. That's all" Chabashira-sensei answered

"You are very cruel Sensei" Added Ike

"And you're very observant." Katsuragi told me 

"I've been like this since birth" I said

— You mean you don't agree?" But this is a good example. I think you can call him an example of the injustice of modern society on the scale of one school.

— Of course, no matter how positively you look at it, this world is an unfair place. However, we are human beings, which means we can think and act.

"What are you getting at?" Kanzaki asked me suspiciously

"Oh my God, Kanzaki, aren't you tired of interrogating me yet?" Sighing, I asked

"I've told you more than once. Watch the video"

— What are you trying to say?

— I'm trying to say that we should at least look equal.

"I agree with you, Ayanakoji-kun." Ichinose told me

"So how does this relate to the exclusion of Sudo?" Katsuragi asked me

"They really got to me already." I thought.

In the end, I just kept silent and did not answer the question

1

— I see...

— It doesn't matter if you intentionally "forgot" to tell us. But the fact is that one person is forced to leave school because of unequal conditions.

— So what do you want from me?

— What I came for. I want to meet with a school superintendent who promotes inequality.

— To express your disagreement?

— I just want to discuss the school's decision with the right people.

"Were you willing to go that far to save Sudo?" Matsushita asked me

"Sure. As I said earlier, there is a possibility that there will be exams where physical strength is important. And Sudo is the best candidate for this role" I replied

"But, but, but. You forgot about me T-Rex-kun" Koenji said4

— Alas, even if you're right, I can't allow it. Sudo will be excluded. In this case, it will be very difficult to replay everything. You'd better just back off.

She ignored my argument. But this does not mean that there is no sense in what has been said. As I thought, there is always a hidden subtext in her words.

— Is it difficult to replay everything in this case? So there is an opportunity to change the decision?

—Ayanokoji, I think highly of you. Of course, getting old questions was the right decision. Moreover, the mere thought of it goes beyond ordinary thinking. But you gave the answers to the whole class and raised the average score. That says a lot.

"What?"

"Wait for sensei. It was Kikyo who got the old test questions for us."

"Get hold of old test questions? Damn, not a bad idea monster." Ryuen said

"Stop. So you had old test questions, but you still passed so badly? Hahahaha, how pathetic you are." Nagumo laughed4

"And what? Did anyone expect more from them?" Sakayanagi asked

— Kushida helped me get the questions, so I didn't do anything special.

"Well. He himself admits that Kikyo did all the work" Ike shouted again

"Is Ike-senpai really that stupid?" Amasawa asked

"What? Hey, show some respect. I'm actually your senpai" Ike replied with displeasure3

"I'm sorry, Ike-senpai, but you don't show any respect for Ayanakoji-senpai, so I won't either." Amasawa said.

All eyes were on me now.

— I know you won't admit it, but there are also high school students. I am well aware that you have received questions from a third-year student.

Looks like I've been discovered.

"So did you really do this Kiyopon?" Haruka asked me

"Well, thank you Kiyotaka-kun for helping us then." Hirata thanked me

"No problem" I replied

— You got off to a great start by getting the questions, but you made a minor blunder at the end. That's why your plan didn't work. If Sudo had memorized the answers more meaningfully, he would not have failed English. Why don't you relax and let him be excluded? Wouldn't it be easier for him?

— To be honest... it probably is. But I decided to help this time. To be more precise, I haven't given up yet, because I have one last attempt left - I reached into my pocket and pulled out a student card.

— What do you mean?

I noticed the teachers' eyes widen. It looks like they've already figured out what I'm planning to do.

— Please sell me one point for the Sudo English test?

Silence...

Silence again...

"WHAT?!?!"

"CAN WE DO THIS?"

"HOW DID HE EVEN THINK OF THIS?!!?"

"KUKUKUKUKU, you really are a monster. How could you even approach a teacher with such a request?" Ryuuen asked, laughing

"Hime, can we do this?" Hashimoto asked.

"Of course I doubted it, but now I am sure that we can do it." Sakayanagi replied3

"Hahahahahaha, kohai, t is really the best, hahahahaha" Kiryuuin laughed.1

"As expected from senpai." Amasawa said, smiling slyly

"That damn beast." Hosen said

"Previously, I would have been very surprised. But now I can only say as expected." Kei said.

— ... She looked at me in amazement, and then laughed out loud: —Ha-ha-ha-ha! What an interesting suggestion. As I suspected, you're not like the others. I never thought you'd try to buy points.

— Teacher, you said it yourself on the first day. In this school, you can buy and sell everything for points. I think intermediate tests are also included in this list.

"Your powers of observation, it's really something with something." Katsuragi said.

"But they will probably be very expensive" Sato said

— I see, you could think of that. And do you have enough money?

— How much does one test score cost?

— This is not an easy question. No one has ever asked me to sell a point before. Let's see... I'll sell it to you for a hundred thousand points.

"This is very cruel sensei." Kei said.

"Well, at least not 20 million." Matsushita said.

— Teacher, and you are cruel.

"I agree with you, Kiyotaka-kun. She's always so cold and cruel." Said Hoshinomiya-sensei.

There are no people at school who didn't spend points at all. So, there is no one who has a hundred thousand points left.

— I'll pay, too," a voice said from behind me. Turning around, I saw Horikita.

"Suzune" Sudo exclaimed.

"Aaaaaah, I get it. You meant that Suzune helped the monster save you. Now I believe that Suzune did something." Ryuuen said, smiling.

— Horikita...

— Hehe, as I thought, you two are nothing, - Chabashira-sensei took both of our cards. — Great, I agree to sell the point. And I'll take a hundred thousand from you. However, it is up to you to inform the others that the exclusion of Sudo is canceled.

— Is it possible?

— You promised to pay a hundred thousand, so there's nothing to be done, - Chabashira-sensei looked pleased and surprised at the same time.

"Well, thank you two for saving me back then." Sudo said.

— Horikita, did you understand Ayanokoji's abilities?"

— Personally, I only see an unpleasant student.

"Hey, that's not true." Haruka was indignant.

"I agree. That's too rude Horikita-san" Supported Akito.

"And I agree with Horikita-san. Constantly when I see him, I always want to stay away from him, because there is always such an atmosphere around him that it seems that it will kill me." Shinohara said.16

"I agree." Said Ike.3

After that, most of the Class D students agreed with Shinohara.

I noticed Kei looking at them with anger.

6

— In the sense of unpleasant?

— You deliberately got low scores on the test, even if you had old questions on your hands. Moreover, you gave all the laurels to Kushida-san and came up with the idea of buying test scores. I don't think you're anything special, you're just unpleasant.

It looks like she knows about the test questions too.

— With you guys, the class has a chance to rise in the rankings.

— I don't know what this guy will do, but personally I will do my best.

— Class D has never been able to advance higher before. All because the school immediately labeled him weak and pushed him out of the arena. How are you going to handle this?

— Teacher, - Horikita looked into Chabashira—sensei's eyes without hesitation, - to be honest, many students in Class D are really weak. However, this does not mean that they are useless.

— And what is the difference between weakness and uselessness?

— Very thin, like a sheet of paper. But there is always a chance to elevate weak people to great ones.

— I see. It sounds extraordinarily convincing coming from you.

I had to agree, too. Her words matter...

Until now, looking at the other students of Class D as a hindrance, Horikita has changed a little. Of course, it's not that simple. But even a faint glimmer of change in her is significant.

I noticed the elder Horikita smile.

Chabashira-sensei smiled, also paying attention to this.

— Well, I'm looking forward to it. As your homeroom teacher, I will be closely watching everything that happens.

Sensei moved towards the staff room, and we remained standing in the corridor.

— Isn't it time for us to go back? The lesson will start soon.

— Ayanokoji-kun?

 She punched me in the side.

This caused loud laughter throughout the hall

— Hey, for what?!

— I just wanted to.

She left, leaving me standing alone. My God, what a pain in the ass... I watched her go, but then decided to catch up.

"Well, it happens. Horikita-san likes to hit Ayanakoji-kun sometimes for no reason." Matsushita said with a shrug.1

"And Ayanakoji-san really likes to pretend." Ishizaki said.

"What do you mean?" Shinohara asked.

"Kukuku, damn right Ishizaki" Ryuen agreed.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Ike asked.

"He says that the beast really likes to pretend that it hurts" Hosen replied.

"Right. But what do I see, so are you a gorilla also faced with a monster? Am I right?" Ryuuen asked.

"Yes, then I greatly underestimated him. But it won't happen again." Hosen replied.

"Hey, Nagumo, do you still believe that you can defeat kohai?" Kiryuuin asked.

"What do you mean Kiryuuin?" The president asked.

"Of course not. Only I can defeat Ayanakoji-kun. After all, this is my childhood dream" Sakayanagi said.8

After that, everyone looked at Sakayanagi.

"Did I hear that right?" Kamuro asked.

"Princess, have you known the king since childhood?" Hashimoto asked.

"Fufufu, of course, we are childhood friends with him" Sakayanagi replied with a smile.
