Facing Chie's request, Ryunosuke rejected it very firmly.
Because this conflicted with his agreement with Sae. Unless the woman in front of him offered a higher price than Sae, enough to cover the potential loss of his 8 million points.
"Sorry, Hoshinomiya-sensei. As part of Class D, in life or death I belong to Class D. I won't betray my class."
Chie didn't look too surprised seeing that rejection. She extended three small fingers and waved them gently.
"2,100,000 personal points. How about it, interested?"
Ryunosuke, who had just put on a face full of integrity and sworn not to betray his class, began to waver...
He seemed to adjust glasses he wasn't actually wearing. "About that... actually, it can still be discussed."
Chie was silent for a moment.
"You're really a very money-minded child."
"Sensei has no right to tell me that. Because you could offer a price as high as 2.1 million, you must have eavesdropped on Chabashira-sensei's conversation offering me 2 million in front of the door earlier, right? Otherwise, how could the number be this coincidental."
Although his sentence was in question form, Ryunosuke was very certain this teacher had indeed eavesdropped.
Chie acknowledged it very casually.
"Wow! You're truly an extraordinary student! If only you had entered my Class B. How about it? Want to consider transferring classes? Class B's door is always open for you~"
Facing that invitation, Ryunosuke rejected it very firmly again.
"Sorry. I live as a Class D dog, and die as a Class D ghost. I won't betray my class."
Chie tilted her head cutely. "But earlier when facing the temptation of 2.1 million from me, you were clearly tempted, right?"
"Ahem, lies! No way!"
"With just 2.1 million you want to bribe me! At least it needs 9 million to cover the loss of 8 million points I should be able to get."
Chie showed a cunning smile.
"That 8 million points isn't certain you can get, you know."
"Don't underestimate Class A and Class B, Ryunosuke-chan."
"Even though you're very impressive, in the end you're just one person. You won't be able to move an entire class alone."
"At this school, one person's strength always has limits."
"Better to cooperate with Sensei. Destroying your class which from the start was called the worst class is far easier and more profitable."
Hearing Chie's advice, Ryunosuke was aware there was truth in her words. However, he was reluctant to listen because it didn't give him additional benefits.
He stared at Chie while thinking about his agreement with Sae, and began to feel dizzy. He wanted to take money from both sides, but their tasks were diametrically opposed. How to work around it?
He had to find a way to get money from both without problems...
Ryunosuke thought for a moment, then asked Chie, "To what extent must I act to get the 2.1 million in your hands?"
Facing that question, the corner of Chie's lips curved into a mysterious smile, then she explained slowly.
"I want you to create chaos in your own class, to such an extent that their personal points (class points) fall below 100 next month. As long as you can do that, I'll give you 2,100,000 personal points~"
Chie waved her finger cutely, but Ryunosuke didn't pay much attention to that. He stared at her with a serious gaze.
"The price to be paid is too high. That will make me a disgrace in class. Do you think I'll do it?"
Seeing that reaction, Chie nodded in understanding. "True. Besides, you'll be in a position opposite to your class. If you don't want to, I can't force you either."
Ryunosuke immediately raised his hand to stop her. "No! That's not what I meant."
"What I mean is... the price must be increased."
Chie was silent like a statue.
In the end the two reached an agreement and signed a duplicate contract. There it was clearly written that if next month Class D's points fell below 100, he would get 2.1 million personal points.
Ryunosuke had asked for a down payment, but unfortunately the other party wasn't as easy as Sae to fool. Chie insisted on only paying after the task was completed. Ryunosuke was forced to agree.
After all, the contract was already signed. What mattered now was for that 2.1 million. As for the contract with Sae, he would find another way. There was still a loophole that could be exploited so he could take money from both sides without any conflict of interest.
Ryunosuke rushed to the student council and knocked on the door gently. Akane's sweet voice was heard again from inside.
"Coming!"
Akane opened the door and invited him in, while complaining, "Why are you only coming now? First day joining the student council and already daring to be late?!"
Akane put her hands on her hips, her small body leaning forward while staring dissatisfiedly. However, Ryunosuke instead felt the other party looked even cuter like that.
He immediately explained his reason.
"My homeroom teacher called me to the office earlier, so it took some time. Besides, I wasn't too late, right? Only about half an hour, and I already informed the President beforehand."
He glanced at Manabu who was still busy working.
Manabu stopped his movement briefly and nodded as confirmation without saying a word, then continued working.
Ryunosuke and Manabu had already exchanged contacts, so he had given notice when called by the teacher earlier. Realizing her carelessness, Akane immediately bowed to apologize.
"Sorry, I didn't know you had already reported to the President. Really sorry."
Facing the apology from that small senior, Ryunosuke said it was okay and sat in his chair to start working.
Today was his first day of work, so he couldn't be careless. Even though for his current self 100,000 points was no longer a fantastic amount, but little by little it became a lot. 100,000 points if saved could cover his living expenses for half a year...
Ryunosuke took a pen and documents and began working. Because he was already used to being a "corporate slave" in his previous life, a workload like this felt very light to him.
Seeing Ryunosuke could immediately adapt quickly, Akane nodded satisfactorily and returned to her own secretarial duties.
At Advanced Nurturing High School, class hours started from 09:30 until 15:30. Student council working hours started between 15:30 until 16:00, and ended at 17:30. Of course there was overtime, for example during sports festivals or cultural festivals.
Ryunosuke's current status: Remaining points: 1,000,000
Time: Third day of school.
