Chapter 45: Dream On, Suzune Horikita
🕑 Added 2025-12-07 11:56:09 +0000 UTCUndoubtedly, Natsuki Subaru had voiced the thoughts buried deep within Suzune Horikita's heart directly.
In Suzune Horikita's view, the characteristics currently displayed by Year 1, Class D were hopeless. If she were to rely solely on herself, she honestly didn't know how to proceed.
For the past month, she had practically been acting alone.
Aside from that brief period at the end where she acted alongside Kiyotaka Ayanokōji, Suzune Horikita knew herself well enough to realize that she was unlikely to influence Year 1, Class D on her own.
However, if she could unite Natsuki Subaru and Kiyotaka Ayanokōji...
Perhaps it wasn't entirely impossible to lead Year 1, Class D in an overthrow of the upper classes and rise all the way to become Class A.
With herself as the core, supplemented by the assistance of Natsuki Subaru and Kiyotaka Ayanokōji, she could definitely prove herself successfully before her older brother and gain his recognition!
Just thinking about it filled Suzune Horikita with fighting spirit.
"That's right!"
"I believe that if we unite, even Year 1, Class D possesses the possibility of becoming Class A."
Suzune Horikita looked at Natsuki Subaru nodding solemnly, a glint of anticipation flashing in her eyes.
Suzune Horikita acknowledged Kiyotaka Ayanokōji's ability; over the past half-month, she had discovered many things only thanks to his reminders.
And Natsuki Subaru was even more mysterious in her heart.
He was an existence absolutely not weaker than Kiyotaka Ayanokōji, perhaps even stronger and closer to her brother Manabu Horikita. With the help of Natsuki Subaru and Kiyotaka Ayanokōji, she could surely achieve her goal.
"Leaving aside whether we have enough ability for the moment."
"Does Horikita-san really think Ayanokōji-kun and I will definitely agree to your invitation?"
Natsuki Subaru looked at Suzune Horikita with some amusement.
This self-righteous appearance really made Natsuki Subaru see his former self.
Only the current him knew how ridiculous the former him was.
"Natsuki, even if you don't care whether the class becomes Class A."
"I even understand that you don't care if you graduate as Class A, and don't care about the academy's initial promises. You don't care about any of these things."
As she spoke, Suzune Horikita fixed her gaze on the tray in front of Natsuki Subaru.
It was far more lavish than hers and Kiyotaka Ayanokōji's combined—significantly so. She said, "Daily living standards require personal points to maintain. You should at least care about personal points, right?"
"The monthly income of personal points is calculated as one hundred times the class points."
"Currently, Year 1, Class D's class points are zero, so there won't be any income in the following months."
"Judging by your current consumption level, Natsuki, you probably won't be able to eat such lunches for much longer."
As her voice fell, Suzune Horikita displayed the point balance on her student terminal to Natsuki Subaru. There were still over eighty thousand, nearly ninety thousand personal points.
"As long as you agree to cooperate with me, Natsuki."
"All my points can be given to you to maintain your daily standard of living."
"When class points increase later, you will also have a monthly income of personal points, won't you?"
Suzune Horikita methodically stated the benefits of Natsuki Subaru cooperating with her.
'There is indeed nothing wrong with what Suzune Horikita is saying.'
'But she miscalculated one thing. Since Natsuki Subaru can maintain such a high level of consumption every day, the personal points on him are destined to be far more than just the one hundred thousand initially issued by the school.'
'He definitely has extra personal point income to continue maintaining his consumption this month, or even for longer than just this month. The conditions Suzune Horikita mentioned are, fundamentally, unattractive.'
While eating silently, Kiyotaka Ayanokōji analyzed Horikita's words in his mind.
A fundamental fact was that Natsuki Subaru already knew that with class points at zero, there would be no personal point income in the following months. Under such circumstances, he still didn't care.
That meant he didn't care about this point at all, symbolizing that everything Horikita said was nonsense.
Useless.
Although he hadn't actively observed the academy too much, Kiyotaka Ayanokōji realized that the sources of personal points in this school were far more than just the monthly allowance.
"Oh, am I that unbearable in Horikita-san's eyes?"
"That really is too heartbreaking."
Natsuki Subaru looked at Suzune Horikita's confident expression, the smile on his face remaining. He said, "Could it be that Horikita-san thinks I'm the type of person who only has two thousand points on me but still insists on spending them all?"
"What do you mean?"
A look of hesitation appeared on Suzune Horikita's face.
'The meaning is simple.'
'That is, Natsuki Subaru has far more than the initial one hundred thousand points on him.'
Kiyotaka Ayanokōji continued to respond to Suzune Horikita in his heart.
"Of course, it means I'm not short on points in the short term."
"Since Horikita-san showed me your point balance, let me show you mine."
Seeing Suzune Horikita so hung up on his daily consumption, Natsuki Subaru displayed his balance directly.
"990,000..."
"How can you have so many personal points..."
Looking at the personal points on Natsuki Subaru's student terminal, Suzune Horikita's pupils contracted sharply.
Perhaps Suzune Horikita had expected that Natsuki Subaru would have quite a few points to maintain high consumption in a new month without income.
But she never expected there to be so many.
He had already been spending lavishly for a month, yet still had such high personal points. Didn't that mean that in the first month of enrollment, while the vast majority of other students were enjoying eating, drinking, and playing, Natsuki Subaru had already earned a million, or possibly even more personal points?!
Suzune Horikita's face was filled with disbelief.
At the same time, accompanying the disbelief was a panic she couldn't quite hide.
If the eighty-thousand-plus points she saved frugally couldn't move Natsuki Subaru, Suzune Horikita didn't know what reason to use to persuade him to join hands with her for a moment.
