"The rules require at least the appearance of equal application."

The theater once again got noisy, although this time, it was from various student's realizations of Ayanokouji's actions.

"Oh?" the teacher, once again, smirked, knowing what's about to come. Right after, Ayanokouji brought out her phone, showing her his points.

"What's that for?" asked the teacher.

"Sell me one point to add to Sudo's English test score."

"Huh?! You can do that?!" exclaimed Ike, alongside him were students asking the same thing, equally bewildered by Ayanokouji's proposal.

"So... so, that's how I was saved? Not by Horikita arguing with the teachers?" asked Sudou with a hint of disappointment in his voice.

"Of course not," answered Horikita, not missing a beat.

"I see... buying a test point, huh? I didn't even think of that," Yahiko said to himself, his opinion of Ayanokouji quickly improving.

"I mean, it's probably because there was no possibility of anyone getting expelled in our class but still..." he kept muttering to himself, seriously pondering whether or not he would've come up with the same thing.

Chabashira-sensei burst out laughing after hearing Ayanokouji's request.

"You're an interesting one. You want me to sell you test points?"

"You told us we can buy anything using points on the first day of school. Rules must be applied equally, even on this midterm test."

"Ah, he's right, I didn't even catch that!" exclaimed Kei, with a few of her friends agreeing with her.

"We were too caught up on the points system to pay attention to Sensei's words weren't we?" Yosuke followed up with a chuckle.

"I see, your idea is indeed plausible."

"Then--"

"However, that doesn't mean you can afford it," the teacher smirked.

Hearing this, for some reason, some Class D students once again began to tense up, getting taken off guard by the sudden problem.

"How much, then?"

"Let me see... if you can give 100,000 points, right here and now, I'll sell it to you."

"Eh?! 100,000?!" some of the Class D students exclaimed at the price of one test point. 

To this, the other classes became confused, after all, 100,000 didn't seem that much to the classes who had a decent amount of class points, but to Class D who, until recently, had absolutely no points, 100,000 was a lot.

"Can Ayanokouji-kun even afford that?" asked Satou to no one in particular.

"Probably, or else Sudou wouldn't be here, right?" replied Kei. 

Everyone looked to Ayanokouji for confirmation. 

"Keep watching," he promptly answered, pointing at the screen.

"That's cruel, ma'am."

"That's part of the rules too."

Suddenly, the two heard a voice behind them.

"I'll pay too," they turned around and saw Horikita.

A mixture of 'woah' and 'ahh' came flowing out of the audience's mouths.
