He actually breathed a sigh of relief.
At the beginning of the month, on the first, Houtarou Oreki had come to the Student Council once, and it had nearly blown his mind.
That guy Oreki was toxic, so Nagumo had already decided to avoid his edge.
So he had avoided contact with him.
And for the sake of his grand goal, he had deliberately told Oreki that he had accumulated two million points.
It was basically an offering.
Yet throughout this process, Oreki had not contacted him again.
In other words, he had not deliberately taken his two million points or anything.
That had left Nagumo feeling strange.
So this guy had been planning to pull this kind of stunt?
"If you want to threaten me with a report, it won't work."
"And the Student Council won't accept it," Nagumo said. "This school is unique. You can't judge it by common sense."
"And as for the exam papers you obtained, you know that the school has tacitly allowed students to buy and sell exam papers, both in the past and now. In exams like this, buying and selling papers is the proper way to clear them," Nagumo said.
As he spoke, he looked toward Manabu Horikita.
Horikita did not react.
Only then did he relax.
Because normally, those words could not be said outright.
But it was necessary to say them. Nagumo felt that Oreki was toxic, so he had dragged Manabu Horikita onto his side as well.
After all,
the first-years bought exam papers, the second-years bought them, and even Manabu Horikita's third-years bought them.
Everyone had gotten through by buying them.
So it was all within the rules. Was Houtarou Oreki planning to take on everyone?
"But Nagumo-senpai, have you considered the feelings of those who studied seriously?"
