"Looks like A Class isn't planning to give it up, huh? Sakayanagi and Katsuragi are having disagreements?" Hearing Hashimoto's words, Ryuen instantly guessed the current state of A Class.
As for Hashimoto, he showed a bitter smile and admitted the truth.
"Hey, Hirata, get your phone out."
Hirata did as he was told, and soon the transaction was complete. Hirata successfully took 400,000 points from Ryuen.
Ryuen did this mainly to see how the school would react if the person behind D Class really got points this way.
That's right, his goal was the same as Kamio Tatsuya's: to test the school's bottom line.
Except Kamio Tatsuya was doing it himself, while Ryuen was just going with the flow.
"I've received the 400,000 private points. I'll keep the students of D Class in line."
Ryuen scoffed and looked at B Class with a sneer.
"What is B Class planning to do?"
Hearing this, the girl named Ichinose thought for a moment and then stepped forward.
"I don't know why you so obediently handed over the points, Ryuen, but I get the feeling that if we don't hand over points here, something troublesome might happen."
Seeing Ichinose take out her phone so readily, Hirata looked conflicted.
If taking Ryuen's points was somewhat justified, then taking points from Ichinose was very embarrassing.
After all, Ichinose's friendliness had spread throughout the first year; she was very kind to everyone.
So, Hirata was very embarrassed to take the money, and his face was filled with awkwardness.
Why are you embarrassed? You're not the one pulling the strings behind the scenes.
I'll say it again, D Class really is a bunch of good-for-nothings.
Kamio Tatsuya was willing to bet that if C Class's class points were cleared, Ryuen would not hesitate to use this "act like you got hurt" tactic, or even go to extremes and take all three classes down with him.
But these D Class guys are being so slow and annoying about just taking the money.
Trash!
"You're certainly cautious, Ichinose." Ryuen laughed and then looked at Hashimoto. "Is A Class sure it's not planning to hand over these 400,000 points?"
"That's right, Katsuragi doesn't agree to paying protection money to D Class. He believes that even if our A Class students are harassed, they won't do anything that doesn't fit our status."
Hashimoto directly stated Katsuragi's view, as if to say: If you have the guts, then come at us openly!
"In that case, that makes things easy." Ryuen smirked. "Hey, Hirata, I want to use points to hire your D Class."
Hire?
Hirata was stunned. Hire them to do what?
"I'm hiring the students of D Class to harass the students of A Class. For every class point deducted from A Class, I'll give you 10,000 private points."
As soon as Ryuen said this, Hashimoto was completely stunned.
He was also increasingly impressed with Sakayanagi.
Because before he came, he had learned from Sakayanagi that something like this might happen, and it turned out to be true.
Hirata was also stunned. They could do that?
"Of course, this condition applies to everyone in D Class. If a D Class student completes my request on their own, I'll still pay."
After Ryuen's words, several students in D Class began to get excited.
Just trick an A Class student into making a mistake, deduct 100 points from them, and that's 1 million private points!
That's a huge amount of money!
If you're careful, you can spend it for three years!
Looking at Hirata's stunned face, Ryuen began to tempt him, "There's nothing wrong with this, anyway A Class is your enemy. There's no need to talk about morals when dealing with enemies. It's okay to use tricks, right?"
Ichinose was startled by Ryuen's words.
She didn't expect Ryuen to pull such a move.
With this hiring method, even if Hirata could control most people, it was still D Class, which was full of problem children.
For money, someone might actually do something like this. There was already a precedent.
Once someone accepted the request, even if the students of B Class could endure it, it would still have a huge impact, because the midterm exams were coming up soon.
If someone was harassed and their study state was affected, causing them to fail the exam and be expelled, Ichinose would feel like she was the one who harmed them.
Therefore, Ichinose felt that the 400,000 points were well spent, because since D Class had taken the money, they had no room to go back on their word. Otherwise, they would be committing fraud and would be dealt with by the school.
In that case, the anonymous person behind the scenes would also be caught and warned.
Now that things had developed to this point, Kamio Tatsuya could also retire successfully.
At this point, it didn't matter whether Hirata agreed or not.
With Ryuen's point temptation here, there would always be someone who wanted to take the risk for points.
Hashimoto, the only member of A Class present, was now sweating.
Why did the princess guess so accurately?
But since you guessed so accurately, you should have a way to deal with it, right?
A way?
There's no way.
Why is a scheme in the open called a scheme in the open? Because it's almost impossible to break, that's why it's called a scheme in the open.
Either pay the money, or get messed with. Choose one, there are no other options.
Unless you flip the table, it's difficult to avoid.
"Please wait a moment!" Hashimoto couldn't sit still anymore. "Please allow me to go back and discuss it with my classmates. We'll give D Class an answer before school ends today."
Hashimoto still stood up and decided to stall for time.
Regardless of whether A Class plans to give the money or not, he needs to let Sakayanagi and Katsuragi know the current situation and then discuss it further.
"Okay, I understand."
Hirata nodded, which was considered a temporary agreement.
"Then you better hurry, maybe the friends in D Class can't wait that long." Ryuen hinted, hinting that the D Class students should take action quickly.
As long as they make A Class lose class points, he's willing to pay.
Hearing this, Hashimoto quickly turned around and left. He had to report the current situation to Sakayanagi as soon as possible.
After Hashimoto left, the D Class students also slowly dispersed. Kamio Tatsuya finished watching the show and headed towards the school cafeteria.
[Was that anonymous post you published, Kamio-kun?]
Sitting in a corner of the cafeteria, Kamio Tatsuya looked at the message Sakayanagi sent on his phone, his face playful.
This guy has some skill, he can actually guess it's me.
But it's not just a wild guess like Horikita's, right?
[Don't be ridiculous, I don't need that little bit of points.]
[Is that so? Then I guess I was wrong. If it was you, I'd like to discuss a business deal with you.]
Business!
Seeing this word, Kamio Tatsuya's face twisted a little, but he still gave a reply.
[Then you've really come to the wrong person.]
"Is that so? Then why did Kamio-kun's face just now look so twisted?"
Hearing the voice in front of him, Kamio Tatsuya's face immediately froze.
Crap, he was found in person!
He was so focused just now that he didn't notice someone had snuck up on him.
When he looked up, Kamio Tatsuya had already put on a confused expression.
"Twisted? What's twisted? Sakayanagi, you weren't talking to me just now, were you?"
Looking at Sakayanagi in front of him, and Kamuro Masumi who was following beside her, Kamio Tatsuya spoke without hesitation.
Kamuro is completely being used as Sakayanagi's follower.
But that's okay.
Even though she's your follower, I can still use her!
