Sakayanagi showed an interested expression towards me, lightly tapping the cane in her hand.
"You are Akasaka Ryunosuke from Class D, correct?"
"To join the Student Council in just two days, this is a first in the history of Advanced Nurturing. I'm very interested in you, Akasaka~"
Sakayanagi Arisu revealed an expression like she was looking at a toy, cute yet playful.
On the other hand, I crossed my arms and crossed my legs.
"Meeting you is indeed better than just hearing your name, Sakayanagi Arisu. I'm also very interested in you. How about we Gamble?"
"Oh? Gamble on what?" Sakayanagi asked curiously.
I extended one finger. Remembering that I spent 193 Yen yesterday, it seemed not enough for a million. I changed the one to a nine.
"Let's Gamble 900,000 Personal Points."
"We'll bet on whether I can pull you down from Class A next month!"
Sakayanagi Arisu's pupils contracted. Her previously smiling expression retracted, replaced by an Icy Gaze.
Morishita Ai and Kamuro Masumi, standing beside her, also showed surprised expressions, seemingly not quite understanding what I was saying.
Judging from Class A's current performance, apart from the Instructors above, everyone below was completely unaware.
Therefore, Morishita Ai and Kamuro Masumi were genuinely uninformed.
Morishita Ai might have had some suspicions, but no evidence. However, Sakayanagi Arisu definitely knew the school's Secret.
Seeing the changes in everyone's expressions, I couldn't help but show a confident smile and continued to entice them.
I knew very well what kind of person Sakayanagi Arisu was. She definitely wouldn't refuse my Challenge.
For a young lady like her, it would just be a way to pass the time. After all, she wasn't interested in Campus Life at all.
As expected, just as Akasaka had predicted, Sakayanagi didn't refuse. Instead, she looked at Akasaka before her as if he were Prey, and slowly said.
"Why... should I agree to you?"
"Gambling with you, for our Class A, not only means we have to constantly guard against you playing dirty and pulling us down one day, but it seems to have no other benefits, right?"
"Give me a reason... to Convince me."
Sakayanagi neither refused nor agreed, maintaining an Ambiguous attitude.
My lips instantly curled into a Malicious Intent smile.
Finally... she took the bait.
Sakayanagi couldn't help but shiver all over from my smile. She always felt that this person in front of her had malicious intent, and that she had a sense of being seen through.
Akasaka slowly picked up his teacup, took a sip, and brought up the matter Sakayanagi cared about most.
"Aren't you curious... how I managed to pull your Class A down from the Divine Seat?"
Sakayanagi Arisu's interest was instantly piqued, and her gaze fixed on Akasaka. "Oh? Tell me about it."
My lips gradually curled into a cruel smile, making the three women opposite me uncomfortable. Still, they patiently listened as I slowly began to speak.
"I assume Miss Sakayanagi, you've already understood the... rules of this school, haven't you?"
Although it was a question, I was almost certain of the answer.
Seeing this, Sakayanagi simply nodded lightly, acknowledging it.
"Then the rest is easy." I lightly clapped my hands, signaling the three girls to pay attention. I was about to use my big move.
The three girls cooperatively shifted their gazes, revealing curious expressions.
However, what I said next was somewhat arrogant, causing the three girls to pause slightly.
Akasaka slowly opened his mouth and stated something that seemed impossible to achieve.
"Classes A, B, C, and D, from top to bottom, represent the strength gap."
"Class D is the worst, and Class A is the best. Are you, Miss Sakayanagi, afraid to gamble with me even with such a huge advantage...?"
"Then you truly are trash..."
I put on a taunting expression and looked provocatively at Sakayanagi Arisu.
As expected, stimulated by my words, the three women opposite me clenched their fists.
Sakayanagi Arisu thought for a moment and then revealed a smile.
"I see... Classmate Akasaka, you have quite the methods."
"You want to use this way of fanning the flames to promote a deal with me, but unfortunately... I'm not the type to be easily swayed by emotions. Your strategy... is useless against me."
Akasaka ignored Sakayanagi's words and stared directly at her, as if certain she would agree.
Sakayanagi couldn't help but frown. She had a persistent feeling of being seen through by the person in front of her, which annoyed her.
But annoyance aside, she still gave the answer she had already decided in her heart.
She slowly opened her cherry lips and uttered words that were completely inconsistent with her petite body.
"Although I've seen through your strategy, you're not wrong."
"If Class A isn't even brave enough to make this bet, then they don't deserve the name of Class A."
"But more importantly..."
Sakayanagi Arisu's body slowly leaned towards me, and she spoke with a tone like a Little Devil, her eyes like black holes, as if trying to swallow Akasaka whole.
"I'm very interested in how you plan to drag our Class A down."
"So let's make a bet! Akasaka Ryunosuke!"
Sakayanagi Arisu flashed a yandere-like smile, as if she had discovered a new Toy, looking utterly covetous.
In the end, the two reached an agreement and prepared to sign the Contract.
Due to the tight schedule, the contract was handwritten, and Akasaka Ryunosuke drafted the entire contract before handing it to Sakayanagi Arisu for review. Once confirmed, both parties began their wager.
The contract details are as follows.
Akasaka Ryunosuke declares war on Class A alone. The wager between the two is a personal bet and cannot involve class members.
The wager amount is 900,000 Personal Points.
If Akasaka Ryunosuke fails to drag Class A down to Class B or lower by the next point distribution day next month, he will pay Sakayanagi Arisu 900,000 Personal Points.
If Akasaka Ryunosuke successfully drags Class A down to Class B or a lower ranking, he will receive a whopping 900,000 Personal Points from Sakayanagi Arisu.
It is hereby declared that the wager between the two is a personal matter between them, and neither is allowed to involve classmates for assistance. Violation of this clause will result in immediate forfeiture.
Signature: Sakayanagi Arisu
Signature: Akasaka Ryunosuke
The contract takes effect on the 6th day of school, April 8th, and will last until the next point distribution day, May 3rd.
