Room 8

This is the overall ninth chapter of You-Zitsu manga series.

Summary
The day to announce the results of the midterms finally arrived. Sae Chabashira, announcing the results, said that she was surprised to see that they managed to achieve such high scores on the test. Hearing her praise them, Ken Sudō happily announced that even he was able to score more than 32 for the English test and managed to pass it. Chabashira, hearing him said that he really did work hard but announced that he had missed the cut-off of forty points for the test by just one point and is therefore expelled.

Kiyotaka Ayanokōji, following after Chabashira, said that he wanted to ask if she left something when she told them about cut-off scores and if she intentionally withheld important information from them. Chabashira answered him saying that even if he wanted to try and do something about it, he won't be able to change anything with his current rank. She said that she highly valued his intellect which had become apparent after he was able to get the old question papers from his senior. Ayanokōji refused to have any part in it but Chabashira said that the matter of his contact with the senior has been resolved by the school.

Chabashira continued saying that his efforts weren't up to par and if only Sudo was able to remember the answers for the test. She then advised him that he would be better off casting Sudō aside. Ayanokōji answered that it might have been easier that way but he wanted to try and help him if he can. Saying that he offered his student Id to Chabashira and asked her to sell 1 point of the test to add it to Sudō's scores. Chabashira laughed at him and asked if he really thought that selling a test point was possible. Ayanokōji answered her saying that she herself had said that anything could be bought here and asked her the price of a test point. Chabashira thinkingly said that given the unprecedented request, she would sell it for 100 thousand yen if he was able to pay for it right there.

Thinking that as Class-D who weren't able to get any points after the initial 100 thousand points, Ayanokōji wondered if it was possible to pay it. While he was wondering that, a sudden voice said that they would pay for it too. Ayanokōji looked back and saw Suzune Horikita in the direction from where the voice came. Chabashira took their IDs and agreed to sell one point for Sudo's test. Chabashira left, saying that it was up to them to convey it to Sudō about the rescission of his expulsion.

Returning from their negotiation with Chabashira, Ayanokōji and Horikita were questioned by Ike, Sudō, Yamauchi and Kushida who were waiting for them in a lobby. While they were goofing around happily after passing the mid-terms, Horikita quickly rebuked them saying that they still have finals and added that they still needed to look for something that would add to their class points. Horikita then apologised to Sudō for trash-talking about his dreams without even knowing about basket-ball and asked him to work his best for his dream. After apologizing, Horikita quickly left them.

Kushida who followed after her, called out to Horikita. Horikita looking back said that she was grateful for her help to set-up the study group and without her, it won't be possible for them to hold the study group at all. She then continued and asked as if to confirm if Kushida hated her. Kushida who was dumbstruck by the sudden question, answered her with a smile that she really hated Horikita.
