The next morning, everyone in Class-E had arrived early, an unusual occasion. Naturally, there was a reason for this. Yesterday evening, Liam had sent a message to the group, claiming he had a very important information to share.
Seeing the last student enter the class, Liam immediately stood up. The hushed whispers fell, turning into a tensed silence.
"Good morning, guys. I'm sorry for abruptly calling you guys this early. However, I do have an important information to share."
He said seriously, gazing at everyone of them. Noting their silence, he continued.
"Yesterday, I was contacted by someone who claimed they could send me the full information about the school rules…"
He hadn't even finished talking when the class erupted into chaos.
"Really? Is that true?!"
"Hahaha! This is great!"
"That person is surely nice!"
The loudest voices came from Jose, Eric, and Logan. They were the most enthusiastic about the situation. After all, they had already spent most of their points and were itching to know how to get more through the school rules.
Liam closed his eyes, gave an exhausted sigh, then spoke.
"It's not that simple."
At his words, many eyes narrowed. They could faintly guess where the conversation was leading to.
"Liam. Do we have to pay for it?"
Ysabella, with her usual smile, asked calmly. The others also looked towards Liam, awaiting an answer. While they hopefully wished he shook his head, they knew it was very likely. After all, who'd give away something like that so freely?
Liam nodded with a bitter smile. "Yes. We are to pay 900,000 credits for the information. After calculating it, each person would have to contribute 30,000 credits."
The entire class fell silent, then erupted into an uproar.
"What? We have to pay 900,000?! That's not possible!"
"This is plain robbery!"
"How can I pay 30,000 credits? I barely have more than that!"
"I don't even have up to that!"
"Hiss! You've spent all your money?"
At the back of the class, Hazel's eyes narrowed. Her beautiful face carried a hint of disdain for her classmates' behavior. Wasn't it just 30,000 credits? Not even half of what they had been given a week ago. Yet, they were complaining?
'These fools…'
She quietly seethed in anger. As a smart beauty, she understood that getting the school rules was important. At least, they wouldn't be in the dark about things that could affect them in the near future. The words of those three rude upperclassmen still rang in her memories.
Kaiser remained silent, watching the situation with a hint of amusement. He wasn't really concerned, since he knew how this would eventually play out.
Suddenly, Ysabella stood up with a serious expression on her angelic face. Her abrupt standing, caused the wind to carry her skirt slightly, showing a glimpse of pink underwear.
Several males immediately had a nosebleed. Even those who had been shouting turned silent at that little glimpse of a divine sight.
Ignorant to this, the blonde girl addressed the class. "We shouldn't complain too much. If we look at it, this is a good opportunity. I suspect that our class is the first one that's getting this information."
"If we don't pay for it and buy it, the seller could decide to sell it to the other classes!"
"And then what happens? We'll get far behind the others, still in the dark. While they… while they go ahead and implement changes among themselves. Because of this, we absolutely cannot let this information go!"
"We have to be united as a class, and purchase this information!"
With her heartfelt speech, many idiots began to understand the situation.
"Damn it! I only have 32,500 credits left! How am I supposed to live after paying 30,000 credits?" Jose cried in despair, clutching his hair.
Beside him, Eric's face was dark. "W-we shouldn't have bought those game consoles… ah, shit!"
Just like them, several others who had splurged their money complained, though it was obvious that they were willing to pay.
"Wait a minute. If you don't have up to that amount, I can help add 5,000 credits for four people."
Liam said, noting the pained expressions of his classmates. He understood that some of them might not have enough, or barely have enough after paying, so he wanted to help.
'Even though their spending habits is a bit high, I'll find a way to talk to them later.'
Hearing his words, the class was stunned, then erupted into cheers. This meant that Liam was willing to donate 20,000 credits more. Immediately, the brown-haired boy's status rose higher in their hearts, especially the girls.
"Me too! I'm willing to help four people too."
Ysabella quickly added with a sweet smile, lighting the hearts of her male classmates with passion. Very quickly, everyone agreed on paying. Well, almost everyone.
"Oh? This is surely an interesting development." A certain blonde boy smiled brightly. "Though, it is useless for me. You can decide to pay whatever you need."
Everyone turned to Sebastian, who was still dutifully combing through his hair. His gaze, which was filled with self-pride and confidence, made the others feel uncomfortable.
"What?! You're not going to pay?!"
Logan stood in anger, and furiously shouted at him.
Unfazed, Sebastian sneered. "Don't disturb me with your wordless barks, Wolf-boy. I have more pleasant things to listen to."
His words infuriated Logan, and he immediately wanted to pounce on him. However, Liam quickly held him back and turned to Sebastian.
"Do you not have enough points? If so… we can help you get…"
Sebastian cut him off. "Hahahaha! Don't be ridiculous! I just don't need to buy your so-called school rules. Whatever happens in this academy doesn't concern me. I'm simply too wonderful to be bothered."
Those narcissistic words made Liam cringe, but he smiled bitterly.
Closing his eyes, he sighed. "Fine. I'll cover Sebastian's part of the payment."
The class was shocked, as this would mean 70,000 credits from his own wallet. Wasn't that a bit too much?
"You don't have to pay it alone! I'll pay 10,000 from it too!"
Isabella added, her expression full of sincerity.
"I think I can add 5,000 credits too."
"Me too!"
Very quickly, Kiera and Kim, two girls rumored to be closest to Liam, also shared the rest between themselves.
Finally, the issue was solved, and everyone began to make their payments to Liam.
"Alright. Settle down, class."
At that moment, Instructor Rina entered the class, carrying her teaching tablet. Her full bosom, straining against the confines of her shirt, quickly drew gazes from several boys. Coupled with her milky thighs wrapped in black stockings, she was arguably the most desirable instructor in the academy.
"We're begining our first lesson for today—The fall of Great America."
