Light Novel 2nd Year Volume 7/Summary

Prologue
Hasebe Haruka monologues reveals how she evaluates herself as a bad person. From an outsider's perspective, her past might not be regarded as significant enough to warrant a 'bad person' title, but because of it, she decided since then not to cultivate any friendships and to distance herself from old friends. That was why she came to this school where she had no prior connections with. She did not expect to make new friends such as Kiyotaka and especially Airi. She was happy to regain her youth, but that same blessing was unceremoniously taken away from her by Suzune Horikita and Kiyotaka Ayanokōji. She was the victim of their selfishness and action, being powerless to stop them and save her friend. Henceforth, she vows to never forgive them and promises to exact her revenge against them.

Chapter 1
Kiyotaka wonders if the view that comes from his seat will be changed in the not so distant future. For now, he appreciates the scenery as Chabashira enters the room. The students all but rid their chatter. With discipline being of utmost importance for class points, unlike when they first came, most wore a serious attitude. She was proud at how far they come as she gave a nod. She then began to inform them about the cultural festival.

Chabashira proceeded to elaborate on the additional funds. A total of 12 people were eligible to earn these funds. The three most notable earners that gained an extra 10 000 points were Suzune Horikita for her student council membership bonus as well as Ken Sudo and Onodera Kayano for their club activity bonuses. Hirata was recognised with 3000 points for his club activity while Akito received 100. Seven other contributors were announced.
 * First grade students will be given 5500 private points per student, 5000 points for second grade students, and 4500 points for third grade students. These funds can only be use to prepare for the festival, with the expenses being at the discretion of the students as long as it's within budget.
 * Additional funds will be awarded for those that have contributed in community services, club activities and in the student council. The sum will varies depending on the event.
 * Initial and additional funds will not be included in the tally of final sales, and will be forfeited if unused.
 * The classes for all years will be completing with each other. 100 class points will be awarded to classes that comes in 1st through 4th. 5th to 8th position will receive 50 class points. No changes will be reflected from 9th to 12th place.

As such, this class had a total of 39 400 in additional funds, placing them first in this aspect. Second place was Ichinose's class with 26 600 points, third was Sakayanagi's class with 18 800 points, and fourth was Ryūen's class with 17 000 points. Kiyotaka ponders how the student council member bonus came in crucial for the top two classes. With this, their class could plan an event that cost as much as 229 400 private points. An absolute advantage right from the preparatory stage, though he knows not to be too conceited. Being too confident and not wisely utilising the points to their maximum potential may turn out to be a liability.

Chabashira went on to explain the guests attending and advices the class that catering to their needs will be an essential step in earning high sales. The guests of honour will be the school leaders and their families, ranging from toddlers to elementary students and even elderly. The age demographic graph showed that there are 283 adults and 202 minors. Adult guests of honours will have 10 000 points, minors 5000 points, with a total sum of 3 840 000 points. Teachers will also be allowed to act as participants with the only rule being they are forbidden for using points on their own class. To monitor sales, there will be a special app developed that will monitor sales and collect transactions for each class.

The result of the recent written exams was then displayed. Keisei was first with a perfect score for all subjects, Horikita was 3 points behind him. Everything was considered normal until 11th place was shown. Sudo scored an impressive 367 points in 5 subjects, all of it being 70 and above. Despite the exam being considered easy, and the difference between his score and last place being 15 points, it was nonetheless an impressive feat. Currently his academic ability rose to C+ from a D, and could potentially be B in the near future. Kiyotaka was ranked 14th, only scoring a perfect exam in mathematics. It was better for him to allow the class to feel they’ve grown rather than think there’s another person with perfect scores. On average the class scored better than the other classes and even the bottom few showed improvement, likely spurred on by the expulsion of Airi and the fear of it happening to them.
