Mind Palace's Prediction (1)

In the dorm at night, Konoe finished his washing and put on his pajamas. With a candy in his mouth, he lay on the bed and began to organize and think about what had happened today.

The Mind Palace was useful, but it was very draining.

He closed his eyes and first organized his current questions, which needed to be concise.

Although he had told Ayanokoji the information, would he help?

The effect of telling Hirata the information exceeded Konoe's expectations. Would the responsible Hirata be able to unite the class next?

Sudo and Yamauchi's opposition was understandable from their own perspective. How could their objections be quelled?

Most importantly: would his desire to keep his personal points succeed? If he had to do it again, how could he make things go smoothly in one go?

With these questions, Konoe used the Mind Palace. As the details of the scene materialized, he was able to observe this world from an outsider's perspective.

Considering the maximum duration of the Mind Palace, ten minutes later, all of Konoe's questions were answered.

Ayanokoji would not act. From his previous words, he might also be a person who disliked trouble. But he was interacting with Horikita. The helper he was looking for should be Horikita Suzune. Konoe had seen her and Ayanokoji acting together in the gymnasium before.

Hirata should continue to try to persuade his classmates. But because there was no concrete evidence for this matter, he definitely could not unite the class. In other words, Class D would still be a scattered mess.

The reason Sudo and Yamauchi opposed it was not because it was none of their business, but because the source of the information was baseless. This made people whose daily lives were already lax even less motivated to act immediately.

'Luck... I understand what Ayanokoji meant. If I had to do it again, I wouldn't rely on luck.'

If he had to do it again, he would prepare evidence in advance to confirm his guesses, such as agreeing to Chabashira's deal or going directly to the upperclassmen to verify. Although he felt that the upperclassmen might also have been gagged, perhaps they could be bribed with points.

Then he would find a few students who usually followed the rules to agree with Hirata on the spot and canvass for Hirata. He would tell them that if other students did not follow the rules, they might lose their own points, and they would agree. The candidates would be like Yukimura and Horikita.

But people like Sudo and Yamauchi needed to be treated according to their specific conditions. This required contacting them in advance to understand their individual personalities.

The matter of keeping his personal points could basically be considered a failure.

And it was no longer worth it, Konoe thought. He had originally hoped to conveniently keep next month's points, but it took too much effort to make things go smoothly.

Konoe's conclusion: If he had to do it again, he wouldn't rely on luck, but would give up directly.

For the next month, he would reduce his spending as much as possible to cope with the point distribution next month. He would be satisfied if he received thirty to forty thousand points.

The day after Konoe decided not to take any further action.

Konoe first went to Class A, hoping to sell the two pieces of information, but was rejected by a bald man who said he would not pay for baseless information. Konoe then went to Class B, and after negotiating with a person named Kanzaki Ryuji for a long time, he finally managed to sell the information and obtained sixty thousand points.

Ayanokoji nodded and said, "That's good," after learning that Konoe would not take any further action recently, and then left.

As for Hirata, just as he had predicted, he was constantly taking action. Surprisingly, they seemed to be verifying information with the second-year students.

Although most of the classmates did not agree with Hirata's statement, they unexpectedly became much more restrained, at least no longer acting with impunity. However, a small number of students still did as they pleased.

A week passed quickly, and it was time for the first swimming lesson.

"Yo, long time no see." Konoe saw Yamauchi and Ike were already in the classroom. He made a joke with them, which also served as a greeting. Because of what had happened before, he began to want to interact with and understand his classmates from now on. This past week, Konoe had already interacted with most of the classmates.

"Oh my... I was too excited about today's class, so I didn't sleep much last night."

"Hahaha, this school is amazing! I didn't expect there to be a swimming class in April. Speaking of swimming class, it's about girls! And speaking of girls, it's about school swimsuits!"

Only then did Konoe realize that swimming class was for both boys and girls, meaning he could see all sorts of high-quality beautiful girls in school swimsuits... Realizing this, Konoe was also swayed, and his heart beat a few extra times.

Ayanokoji came to Konoe and asked, "How are you feeling?"

"No problem! I've carefully reviewed the swimming materials and am now full of confidence."

Ayanokoji nodded and said, "Although my swimming is also ordinary, if anything unexpected happens to you, I will find a way."

"Hearing you say that, Ayanokoji, gives me more confidence. But unless there are snakes or sharks in the water, there won't be any accidents in just a swimming class, don't worry," Konoe replied gratefully.

Seeing Horikita walk into the classroom, Ayanokoji returned to his seat. Soon, the cold-faced Horikita began to chat with Ayanokoji.
