Two Famous Scenes in a Row, Akasaka Was Stunned.

In Kushida's room, Ayanokoji and I sat on the tatami mats, looking at each other with helpless expressions.

They were truly unlucky, running into a famous scene by chance. Kushida kicked the guardrail, and though they wanted to leave, the other party wouldn't allow it.

Kushida, on the other hand, had a grim expression, no longer showing her usual gentle and virtuous demeanor. All that remained was a bone-chilling cold. She looked at the two people who had stumbled upon her little secret and spat inwardly.

"Damn it! What rotten luck, these two saw me. What should I do about this..."

Kushida racked her brain, thinking of how to deal with the situation. Suddenly, she had an idea and grabbed both their wrists, intending to guide them towards her chest.

"Holy crap!" Akasaka's heart leaped in shock, and he desperately tried to pull his hand away with all his might.

Ayanokoji easily broke free and quickly moved to the door. While Akasaka and Kushida were struggling, he quickly opened the door and, like a sneaky bastard, ran off first.

Akasaka watched Ayanokoji slip away, cursing inwardly, You bastard! You abandoned your friend and ran! Just you wait, I'll get you back for this someday!!!

In the end, Akasaka gave up resisting and obediently touched the minefield, feeling like crying.

Damn it, Ayanokoji, just you wait! Next time, I'll sell you out and make you count the money for me.

Seeing that she had succeeded, Kushida stopped her actions, her eyes cold. "This is a secret between us."

"If you dare tell anyone else about this secret, I'll use the fingerprints on this shirt to get you expelled."

"I'm sure the school has zero tolerance for boys who harass female students, right?"

Kushida suddenly changed her expression, revealing a smile like a black angel, so pure and cute.

But Akasaka felt that Kushida Kikyo before him was not cute at all; instead, she made him feel disgusted. I couldn't help but sigh, having to swallow this bitter pill. Who told me to be out wandering late at night for no reason...

Ayanokoji, just you wait! I will definitely make you pay!

After enduring Kushida's humiliation, I planned to leave. Kushida called out to me, showing that pure and cute demeanor again, and spoke to me in a spoiled tone.

"Akasaka, can we be friends now?"

As she spoke, she took out her mobile terminal and handed it to me, acting as if she had me completely cornered. And indeed, she did... I could only accept this silent loss and took out my mobile terminal to add her as a friend.

After getting my friend request, Kushida was overjoyed. She smiled and pushed me out of the room, saying, "See you tomorrow," before heavily closing the door, leaving me alone at the entrance, feeling a bit resentful.

But it was no big deal. As long as Kushida Kikyo didn't hinder my ability to make money, I didn't care what she did. Even if she betrayed the class or became enemies with Ayanokoji, as long as it didn't interfere with my earning, I wouldn't bother with her.

I turned to head home when my phone rang. I took my phone out of my pocket, looked at it, and saw that it was Horikita Manabu calling. I then pressed the answer button, ready to pick up.

"Hello, President, what's up? I'll say this upfront, I'm off duty. If you want me to do something, you'll have to pay me overtime."

Horikita Manabu on the other end of the line said irritably.

"Come help me put on a show. I'll give you 100,000 Points afterward."

After speaking, he hung up the phone and sent the coordinates via text message. I was completely bewildered.

What was Horikita Manabu up to?

Wait...

Oh, I see. It's Horikita Suzune...

Speaking of which, this must be the famous scene where Horikita Manabu lectures his sister. But is 100,000 Points enough to get me off the hook?

Akasaka grinned maliciously. Just as he was about to leave, he remembered Ayanokoji, that loser, and an idea struck him.

"Alright, this way I can not only make money, but also get some revenge."

With that, I went to Ayanokoji's room again. After coaxing, deceiving, and threatening him, I finally managed to trick him into coming with me.

On the way, Ayanokoji followed closely behind me and said with a helpless tone, "I admit, betraying you just now was my fault. Let's call it even if I help you this time, okay?"

"Of course!" I agreed without hesitation.

This was my goal all along: to use this one favor to get Ayanokoji to act. After all, I couldn't face Horikita Manabu alone.

We arrived at an alley, and we could hear Horikita Manabu and Horikita Suzune's voices from inside.

"Brother! I'm not the useless person I used to be anymore! I can definitely help you," Horikita Suzune said stubbornly.

Horikita Manabu sighed. "How many times do I have to tell you? Suzune, you're not suited for this school."

"But I..."

"There's no 'but'."

Horikita Manabu rubbed his eyes with a headache, his expression serious. "Suzune, drop out of school immediately and leave this place."

"I won't!" Suzune refused loudly. "I can definitely help you, brother! I came here for that reason. Please let me be your support!"

"How many times do I have to tell you? You're not suited for this school..."

Just as Horikita Manabu was about to say something harsh, he sensed someone behind him. Knowing it was me, he immediately started acting. He pinned Horikita Suzune's hands against the wall and pressed his knee against her abdomen, rendering her unable to move, and warned her again.

"Suzune, drop out right now, or I'll have to teach you a lesson."

As he spoke, he raised his free hand, about to strike her abdomen. Akasaka jumped out from the grass, holding up his phone with glee.

"Aha! I recorded everything! President, you're not settling this without 500,000 Points."

The siblings' attention was immediately diverted by the commotion, and they both looked at me. Horikita Manabu, in particular, twitched at the corner of his mouth when he saw the recording in my hand.

"This guy..."

But he still said with a calm expression, "Akasaka Secretary, hand over the camera you're holding."

Even Horikita Suzune, who had just been bullied, quickly chimed in, "Akasaka, give the camera to my brother. Don't do anything that's bad for him, or I'll make you pay."

Akasaka Ryunosuke...

Come on, little girl, I'm clearly on your side, aren't I? Why are you stabbing me in the back?

I not only scoffed inwardly but also looked at Horikita Manabu, reminding him again.

"President, if this recording gets out, your position as President should be in jeopardy, right? How about 500,000 for a private chat?"

Facing my suggestion, Horikita Manabu was about to agree. After all, 500,000 wasn't much to him, and he had 30 million in savings in his personal account. Just as Horikita Manabu was about to agree, Suzune, standing beside him, loudly stopped him.

"Akasaka Ryunosuke! Even if you release this video, I'll find a way to prove my brother's innocence."

"My god! What side are you on, damn it?" Akasaka finally lost his composure.

Facing Akasaka's accusation, Suzune just snorted, turned her head away, and threw a tantrum.

Just as Akasaka was about to say something more, Horikita Manabu seized the opportunity, released his sister, and immediately charged at me, his target being my phone.

I stepped back and shouted, "Ayanokoji, go!"

Ayanokoji walked forward with a look of helplessness, blocking Horikita Manabu's path, and said expressionlessly.

"I'm sorry, President, I owe him one, and I need to settle it this way. Can you be understanding? I don't really want to fight."

Horikita Manabu heard these cryptic words. Although he didn't quite understand what he was saying, he knew the other party's attitude. He assumed the starting stance for Eight Level Fist and attacked directly.

Ayanokoji slightly tilted his head to dodge, and at the same time, used his wrist to grab Horikita Manabu's punching arm, twisted it, and executed an over-the-shoulder throw, sending him flying.

Horikita Manabu stumbled, supported himself with one hand on the ground, performed a few flashy backflips, and slowly stood up, adjusting his glasses.

"Oh? I didn't expect Class D to have so many experts. Have you learned martial arts?"

"Your body movements and coordination are excellent. Anyone who didn't know would think you were an Olympic athlete."

Ayanokoji twisted his waist and stretched his arms, doing warm-up exercises. He hadn't moved much in a while, and he was a bit stiff. When he heard Horikita Manabu's question, he calmly replied.

"No, comparing me to an athlete is too exaggerated, President."

"I don't think it's exaggerated at all; in fact, I think I've underestimated you."

Horikita Manabu's tone was exceptionally serious. For the first time, he couldn't see through someone's depth. Seeing how things were, he knew he wouldn't be able to get Akasaka's phone and had to give up.

In the end, the Student Council President honestly transferred 500,000 Personal Points to Akasaka. Before leaving, he reminded him.

"Your workload will be doubled tomorrow, Akasaka Ryunosuke."

Akasaka Ryunosuke, who was initially delighted that the 500,000 he had just spent was returned, twitched his face upon hearing this but could only agree.

Who told him he had ripped off the President for 500,000? But it was good this way. He had just spent 500,000, and finally got the money back. Working overtime was nothing.

Horikita Manabu kindly reminded Suzune.

"If you really want to climb up, rely more on these two people. In this school, fighting alone is not advisable."

Facing her brother's reminder, Suzune just lowered her head and remained silent, lacking the courage to retort.

Even a single word of protest from her would have earned her brother's admiration. Before leaving, he glanced at Akasaka again, then at Ayanokoji beside him.

"Is he your subordinate?"

Akasaka, who was happily counting points, casually replied dismissively. "Yeah, he's my Left and Right Arm."

Ayanokoji was quite helpless. "When did I become your Left and Right Arm?"

"Is that so... You've found a great fighter. I'll trouble you to take good care of my useless sister."

"Oh, as long as the money is right, I'll do anything for you, even help your sister surpass you."

"You sure talk big, Akasaka Ryunosuke..."

"I'm not talking big," Akasaka stopped counting money and looked seriously at Horikita Manabu, reminding him again.

"As long as the money is right, I can do anything in this school."

Horikita Manabu met my gaze, as if trying to discern something from my eyes. He eventually gave up.

He couldn't tell if the man before him was genuine or not, but he knew that if Suzune wanted to climb up, she would need this person's assistance.

Horikita Manabu eventually left.

Only Ayanokoji, Akasaka, and Suzune remained at the scene.

Horikita Suzune quickly walked up to me and reached out for my phone.

"Give me the phone! I'll delete the content myself to prevent you from backing it up."

I handed her the phone. She deleted the video in front of me and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"This way, I won't cause trouble for my brother..."

She then returned the phone to me. "Thank you for your help today, although your methods weren't the best."

As she spoke, she stomped on me with her foot, seemingly venting her dissatisfaction.

"That hurts... Suzune."

"Don't call me Suzune! We're not that familiar."

Horikita Suzune said fiercely, while the force she applied to my foot gradually increased. The pain made me grimace. She then released my foot and went to a nearby vending machine, bought two cans of cola, and handed one to me, completely ignoring Ayanokoji.

Ayanokoji said with some helplessness, "It's nothing. I'll be going now, Akasaka. See you tomorrow."

After speaking, Ayanokoji left, leaving only Suzune and me at the scene.

Suzune and I went to a stone bench and drank the beverages in our hands, not talking, just remaining silent.

Both of us were naturally taciturn, so when we got together, not much conversation could come out.

Horikita Suzune sighed, breaking the silence.

"I say, Akasaka, is there something going on between you and my brother that you're hiding from me?"

"I feel like your appearance here today wasn't a coincidence."

My action of drinking the beverage in my hand paused. I said speechlessly, "In front of your brother, I never saw you this smart and quick-witted."

"Or perhaps, after meeting your brother, you just turned into an idiot?"

Suzune's face turned bright red. She suddenly stood up from the stone stool and quickly walked up to me, about to step on my foot.

I took the opportunity to jump away, dodging her, and taunted, "Come and step on me, idiot!"

"Can you even step on me? Eh, I jumped back. Come and step on me, idiot."

"Eh? Wait, what are you doing?"

"Hey, don't come over, don't come over! I warn you, don't lay a hand on me! This is a school, don't come over!"

"Aiyaaahhh, let go, let go! My arm is going to dislocate, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"

Suzune pinned me against the wall using grappling, while looking at me with an angry expression and saying, "I've practiced Karate and grappling, as well as various basic martial arts. Don't think you can beat me just because I'm a girl."
