Ryuen's doubts about Class D, the arrested little Shizuku-chan?

After the Tian Shu Exam ended, it was the end of June, July 1st.

"This place again... I thought Ishizaki and the others would ambush me here, Ryuen."

In the Special Classroom Building, at the same spot where Kaede had beaten Ryuen Kakeru severely on the first day of school.

This morning, Ryuen had specifically asked him to meet and discuss some matters in person.

Kaede, revisiting the place, sighed inwardly and couldn't help but tease him.

Ryuen, leaning against the classroom window outside, let out a cold laugh. A hint of memory flickered in his eyes.

Honestly, after spending three months together as classmates, Ryuen's impression of Tennoji Kaede wasn't one of strong dislike.

...It's just that if there was a chance in the future, Ryuen would eventually get back at this monster for that elbow strike on the first day.

"You should have received the Private Points we agreed on before the exam. Transfer my share now."

Kaede, with a dark expression, took out his Student Terminal. "I hope you have other serious matters to discuss. If you called me out just for something as trivial as transferring points, I really won't come next time."

As compensation for helping Class D during the Tian Shu Exam, Kaede had received 3.6 Million Private Points from Horikita Manabu.

According to the prior agreement with Ryuen, as long as he and Kaneda didn't deliberately cause trouble during the exam, and Class D obtained the benefits they deserved, Kaede promised to give half of these points to the Tyrant Faction, which was 1.8 Million.

Class C could currently be divided into three factions:

The Tyrant Faction, consisting of Ryuen and the male students;

The Kaede Faction, centered around the three members of the Tennoji Group;

The lowest-ranking faction, consisting of the remaining students.

This was a tacit understanding unique to Ryuen and Kaede!

On the surface, all of Class C's Private Points were under the control of the Tyrant, Ryuen.

But in reality, this excluded the Private Points of the three members of the Tennoji Group: "Kaede, Mio, and Ibuki."

Ryuen's original proposal was even to consider reducing the Private Points collected from other Class C students close to the Kaede Faction.

But Kaede refused. As the saying goes, it's not poverty but inequality that troubles men.

Except for Hiyori and Ibuki, Kaede didn't truly confide in or trust the other Class C students. It would be better for the Tyrant to handle it justly.

Most importantly, Ryuen collected these Private Points not for his personal gain but from a collective perspective. Therefore, whether he collected a little more or a little less didn't make much difference.

It couldn't be helped; Class C was still far inferior to Class B.

Ichinose's Class B completely trusted the reputation of the "Ichinose Bank" without even needing to speak.

In contrast, Ryuen Kakeru's "Ryuen Kakeru Bank," being much weaker, had to resort to stronger methods to compete in the market...

After Tennoji Kaede transferred 1.8 Million Private Points to Ryuen Kakeru's account, he was left with approximately 3 Million Private Points.

On April 1st, the first day of school, Kaede had already accumulated 1 Million Private Points.

Later, during the swimming lessons, he earned 5,000 points from the boys' competition victory, plus another 5,000 points for helping the teacher instruct the students.

At the end of April, he signed a "30,000 x 12 months" purchase agreement with Horikita... and the 3,000 points from selling to Kushida were also included.

By the end of April, Kaede had earned 1.043 Million.

On May 1st, Class C distributed 59,000 points, plus 30,000 from Horikita, and spent 15,000 on the archaeology scroll.

By the end of May, Kaede held about 1.12 Million.

On June 1st, Class C distributed 63,000 points, plus 30,000 from Horikita, 150,000 for the Rebel victory in the Tian Shu Exam, and a final reward of 1.8 Million from Horikita Manabu.

By the end of June, up to today, Tennoji Kaede had accumulated a total of approximately 3.16 Million Private Points.

This was his total income over the past three months since school started, surprisingly matching the imagined pace of earning 1 Million per month that he had conceived in the KTV.

Deducting approximately 30,000 to 50,000 for monthly living expenses.

This month, Kaede was both a faction leader and involved in "dating," so his monthly expenses were not low.

As for students spending 100,000 a month? That was truly impossible, poet holding a poem!

In short, after rounding, Tennoji Kaede was indeed left with about 3 Million Private Points.

As the third-richest Sole Proprietor among the first-year students, Kaede's 3 Million was a bit meager.

Sigh~

After Ryuen confirmed the 1.8 Million transfer, he said, "When you graduate, you should go into business. This exam, which clearly favored Class D, wasn't a total loss for our Class C in the end."

Kaede nodded in agreement. "It was all deserved. If Class D hadn't had our help in this Tian Shu Kill, they probably wouldn't have even gotten half of what they have now."

Ryuen fell silent.

Kaede: "What?"

Ryuen summarized, "...The Group D match this time was indeed won by Class D. With one main player and one spy cooperating sincerely, they could obtain over 30 points as a reward no matter what."

"As for the other three groups, Class D's 5 Traitors and 1 Loyalist were easy to bully... It seems the school didn't overly favor them."

Tennoji Kaede frowned. "Ryuen, that's not what you're concerned about, is it? You have reservations about the Group D match...?"

Ryuen looked up, his sharp gaze meeting Kaede's. He slowly uttered a name, but with a hint of hesitation.

"Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, is this the reason you're so concerned about Class D... right?"

!

At this moment, Ryuen's words shocked not only Kaede but everyone present.

Ryuen already found Lu Ge?

However, his expression remained perfectly composed.

"Ayanokoji? I know him. He's Horikita Suzune's little follower. Ryuen, why do you think he's suspicious?"

"Hmph! Tennoji, compared to you, that idiot woman Horikita's acting is far worse."

So that's how it is. It seems Horikita's body language during the Room D Tian Shu Sha gave her away...

Kaede suddenly sensed something, his pupils widening slightly.

He casually said, "...So, what do you plan to do now? I suggest we don't escalate things yet. It might just be an accident."

Ryuen frowned and slowly walked over, standing behind Kaede. Neither of them turned around.

"Naturally... we'll catch the little mouse first!"

With that, Ryuen sprinted rapidly towards the stairwell!

"Ah!!!" A terrified female scream rang out.

Tennoji Kaede sighed.

Shortly after the name Ayanokoji Kiyotaka was mentioned, he had sensed someone eavesdropping near the stairwell.

After seeing Kaede's pupils change and his verbal cues, Ryuen immediately understood.

He deliberately created a diversion, while actually closing the distance to the stairwell behind Kaede. The eavesdropper couldn't possibly escape.

As he thought this...

Suddenly, Kaede had a guess about the eavesdropper's identity.

At this time, could it be her?

"I'm sorry... Let go of me!"

Ryuen Kakeru, with a cold expression, held a digital camera and dragged a pink twin-tailed girl by the back of her collar, her body scraping against the ground as he walked.

As expected, it was Sakura Airi from First Year Class D.

Cornered by two terrifying men from Class C, Sakura sat in a duck-like pose, covering her face with her hands and whimpering, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I'm really sorry!"

Ryuen clicked his tongue in annoyance and reached out to grab her head.

Just then, Tennoji, standing beside him, reached out and stopped him...
