Two People's Strategy, Ryuen Akira Secretly Shocked!

At Class C's KTV party, Ryuen Kakeru and Tennoji Kaede's conversation didn't raise any suspicion.

In the eyes of their classmates, Tennoji was practically Ryuen's top enforcer.

During the previous swimming lesson, Tennoji Kaede's displayed strength had earned him the admiration of many. Naturally, some had developed other ideas, but that was a story for another time.

After a brief test of Kaede, Ryuen continued, "After Sakagami announced the true rules of that S System today, I finally got answers to the questions I asked him before."

Tennoji Kaede replied, "In the first month of enrollment, everyone has 100,000 points. It's quite tight to buy useful clues from the teachers... You must have asked about the most crucial core point, right, Ryuen?"

"Heh, this morning that guy Sakagami finally said it for free. Class Transfer Power. It costs 20 million Private Points for one person to be promoted to A," Ryuen revealed information Kaede already knew.

"With your earning speed, Tennoji, it doesn't seem difficult for capable individuals to save up this enormous sum of points in three years."

Under normal circumstances, even if Class Points remained at 1000, an individual would only gain 3.6 million points in three years.

But for someone like Tennoji, earning millions a month would amount to 36 million, enough to easily obtain Class Promotion Authority. There was indeed no difficulty for him to achieve it.

Tennoji Kaede nodded, agreeing with Ryuen's assessment.

"Never mind me, but as the leader of Class C, you wouldn't take everyone's Private Points only to end up choosing to ascend to Class A by yourself, would you?"

Ryuen let out a cold laugh at the question. He, as a leader, would naturally not stoop to such a despicable act.

Moreover, although he had collected quite a few points through the intimidation of the Tyrant, if he were to secretly transfer classes with that money, it would inevitably lead to a mutual destruction scenario, with everyone reporting him frantically. The school authorities would never approve such a sneaky transfer application without scrutiny.

"The points for ascending alone are indeed easy to earn, but what I'm thinking is... earning enough for 40 people!" Ryuen drained his drink.

Here it comes!

As the saying goes, it's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature. Ryuen Kakeru's 800 Million Points Strategy was back in the game!

Although in the original work, Ayanokōji had boasted that this absurd plan had a 5% chance of success, Tennoji Kaede felt that if he were to judge it, he'd give it 10%!

What's so difficult about boasting?

But in reality, even if everyone in the entire grade received 100,000 points each month, the total would be less than 600 million by graduation. How could 800 million be achieved?

"The 800 Million Points Strategy, the difficulty is truly not low. I estimate the chance of success is only around 10%."

Tennoji Kaede said this with a straight face.

Ryuen Kakeru: ...

The air grew somewhat awkward. It seemed Ryuen Kakeru was also bluffing, but Tennoji Kaede was bluffing even more.

However, it wasn't surprising. Ryuen didn't yet know about the bizarre exams that came later in Shijiao. His current 800 Million Strategy was still in the stage of bold assumptions.

"Ryuen, this is really not me mocking your strategy," Tennoji Kaede said with a serious expression.

"On the contrary, such a bold and long-term strategy is something most people wouldn't even conceive of. This means it has extremely strong concealment! And as long as the hidden plans can be kept secret, there will be a day when they are finally realized."

"Hmph! You speak well, Tennoji. What about your strategy? Don't tell me you genuinely plan to hide behind me for three years... or perhaps you intend to rely on the advantage of Class Points to crush other classes in the future?" Ryuen's gaze was sharp as he leaned forward.

"You shouldn't have forgotten the 'Class Divider's Privilege' theory you yourself proposed, right? You understand that Class C's overall strength cannot always defeat Classes A and B! Even if we become Class A in the future, it's not strange for us to be kicked down at any time."

Let alone that, in the future, they might not even be able to beat Class D, Tennoji Kaede thought.

However, he did have his own ideas, and quite a few of them.

But here, there weren't many options to discuss with Ryuen, so Kaede really had to consider carefully.

"Alright, I'll share one of my ideas too."

Tennoji Kaede took another drink, looking at his empty glass. He suddenly felt like Liu Bei discussing heroes over wine.

Ishizaki Daichi was chatting with some of his brothers at a distance.

To be honest, although Ryuen had beaten him up at the start of the school year, he still genuinely admired him.

It had been like this for a long time; Ishizaki respected true strength.

Compared to that, he was well aware of his own limitations and didn't feel it was shameful to align himself with Ryuen.

As long as you're stronger than me, I'll follow your orders.

Similarly, Ishizaki had a special impression of Tennoji Kaede. He subconsciously didn't want to confront him.

He had a feeling it wouldn't end well. It was good to work together under Ryuen-bro...

"Crack!"

The sound of a breaking glass suddenly echoed, and the relatively cheerful atmosphere in the KTV instantly froze.

Ishizaki immediately noticed that it was Ryuen-bro's glass that had broken!

Could it be that he had a dispute with Tennoji? This was terrible!

Just as Ishizaki was about to step forward to mediate, Ryuen suddenly burst into exaggerated laughter, while Tennoji looked embarrassed.

What... Ishizaki was bewildered. The script seemed wrong?

"Hahahaha!" Ryuen Kakeru was laughing so hard that tears welled up in his eyes.

"You're going a bit too far, Ryuen. You've scared the classmates."

Ryuen's laughter faded. Tennoji Kaede, smiling, explained a few things to the Class C students. He almost wanted to say, "You guys keep playing music and dancing."

However, Ryuen was the one who broke the wine glass. Maybe he was the one playing the fool...

No matter how the others in Class C looked at it, these two didn't seem to be in a dispute. Instead, it looked like Tennoji Kaede had amused Ryuen, so they stopped paying attention and continued their own fun.

Kaede gave Hiyori and Ibuki a look that said he was fine, and they were relieved.

Kaede tossed a box of tissues from the table to Ryuen. Ryuen remained impassive, as if contemplating something.

"I didn't even laugh at your ridiculous point strategy, so how dare you be so dramatic? Besides, you're the one who told me to speak my mind. Naturally, I can't have a smaller vision than you. What do you think now?"

Tennoji Kaede took out his terminal and glanced at it a couple of times.

"...Tennoji, you truly are a man full of constant surprises. It's a shame you're not in another class."

"If I were in Class A or B, you know what? I'd definitely be hiding like a scaredy-cat. If I lay low for three years, you think you'd still be able to bother me?"

Tennoji Kaede shook his head after speaking. But now, a month had passed, and he felt that being in Class C was pretty good.

As the saying goes, having two or three friends in a lifetime is enough.

Kaede felt that Class C was about right; he could still make one or two close confidants.

He continued, "Let's not dwell on those trivial matters. Regarding the midterms at the end of the month, I have a way for Class C to maintain its current advantage, and it'll be easy."

"...Let's hear it. Given the timeframe, it's impossible for us to catch up to Class B's overall academic ability in a month." Ryuen Kakeru wasn't particularly concerned and replied casually.

"Just like you go to Sakagami-sensei when you have questions, since our Class C's grades aren't good, we can also ask our seniors for help and let them think of a solution."

The snacks at the KTV were good. Tennoji Kaede planned to sneak some to take with him later; it was an old habit from his past life.

Ryuen understood easily.

After saying, "I don't care about Class C's academic ability, do as you please," he didn't say any more.

And so, the Class C gathering soon came to an end...
