Sorry Ayanokoji, it was me who sold you out again.

What's going on? This is getting weirder and weirder.

Akasaka felt his own words were problematic, but that wasn't the most crucial issue right now. The most crucial issue was how to get the teacher to let him off the hook so he could get a good night's sleep.

Akasaka thought for a moment and decided to sell out Ayanokoji.

Sorry, Ayanokoji. I'll have to trouble you a bit for my money-making scheme.

Akasaka stared intently at Chabashira Sae in front of him and didn't hesitate to reveal that Ayanokoji Kiyotaka was a master.

Chabashira Sae was overjoyed when she learned there was a master in their class.

She became even more excited when she found out Ayanokoji had intentionally scored 50 on every subject during admission to suppress his scores.

Akasaka also sold out Horikita Suzune in passing.

Although Chabashira Sae looked down on her...

I also told her that she's Horikita Manabu's sister and that she has value, so Horikita Manabu wouldn't just ignore her.

Chabashira already knew this. It wasn't a secret. Anyone with a bit of sense who investigated would know they were siblings.

Besides, they had the same last name. Chabashira wasn't stupid; how could she not have investigated?

However, Suzune's performance wasn't particularly outstanding, which made Chabashira Sae dismiss the idea of using her to promote the class.

Akasaka successfully sold out the two to Chabashira, earning himself peace and quiet.

At the same time, it dragged Ayanokoji, who wanted a peaceful life, into the turmoil and brought him into Chabashira's sight.

Presumably, Chabashira wouldn't let go of this tool so easily, which would make things comfortable for him.

Not only would Ayanokoji help him deal with Horikita Suzune's matters, but someone would also help promote the class. It was killing two birds with one stone.

He didn't have to do anything, got the money, and got the job done. It was truly a "win without doing anything."

In the end, Chabashira Sae didn't make a fuss about Akasaka's poor performance. After all, she knew the general state of Class D. She just wanted someone to vent her frustrations on.

Otherwise, she would go crazy.

After three years of hard work, year after year, when would she be able to be promoted to Class A?

She thought this Class D was the worst class in history.

Unexpectedly, there were still a few gems.

Not to mention the current Akasaka Ryunosuke, who joined the Student Council in two days and managed to bring Class B up to Class A. Although she didn't know what methods he used, he indeed accomplished this single-handedly.

So, if he were willing to make an effort, it wouldn't be impossible for Class D to climb up.

If I want to be promoted to the next class, I'll need him. Therefore, I can't afford to offend him.

Chabashira abandoned the idea of bothering Akasaka and turned her attention to another person who had caught her interest.

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka.

This guy had been unremarkable since enrolling, with nothing noteworthy about him. His eyes were dead, and I thought he was just an ordinary student. I didn't expect him to be a master of score manipulation.

And... the surname Ayanokoji. I feel like I've heard it somewhere before?

Could it be related to that Ayanokoji in politics? Or is it just a coincidence of the same surname?

Whatever, what does it have to do with me? I just want to be promoted to Class A. As long as I can get into Class A, I'll do anything. Even if this young man in front of me wants to... I'd probably agree. As long as he can lead the class to Class A, I'm willing to do anything, even sell my soul.

Chabashira extinguished her cigarette butt and stared intently at Akasaka with her burning gaze. This made Akasaka feel inexplicably bewildered.

Faced with Chabashira Sae's undisguised fiery gaze, Akasaka couldn't help but shiver. He quickly shielded his body and retreated.

"What are you looking at? Why are you staring at me? You're not thinking of some crazy idea again, are you, Chabashira-sensei?"

Faced with my question, Chabashira quickly returned to normal and then sighed, "What will it take for you to act? Just say it, as long as I can do it."

Chabashira lit another cigarette, making my eyebrows twitch. I glanced at the nearly two packs of cigarette butts in the ashtray and kindly reminded her.

"Smoking is bad for your health, Chabashira-sensei. Take care of yourself."

Chabashira waved her hand, unconcerned.

"I've been smoking like this for three years, and I'm fine... cough cough!"

She choked after only a couple of sentences.

Akasaka was quite helpless. "Chabashira-sensei, smoking won't solve the problem."

Chabashira Sae, having recovered, said irritably, "Then help me solve the problem, you bastard! I've already paid the money, and you haven't done anything."

Akasaka shrugged. "I'll act, within these two days."

"Oh?"

Chabashira's interest was immediately piqued. "How will you do it?"

Akasaka gave a mysterious smile. "Secret."

Chabashira rolled her eyes beautifully. "Fine if you don't want to say. Do you need my assistance?"

Akasaka shook his head. "No need. You should focus on resolving the issue between Ayanokoji and Suzune first. Find a way to get them on board. Remember not to reveal that I told you..."

Akasaka specifically added this to avoid being resented by Ayanokoji.

After all, he had disturbed his peaceful life. If he found out, he would probably be in trouble...

At the same time, to reassure Chabashira (she), he also gave her considerable assurances.

"Teacher, as long as you handle those two, you don't need to worry about the rest. I'll help from behind the scenes. It's only a matter of time before we rise to Class A."

He added inwardly, Ayanokoji will make a move.

Chabashira Sae thought seriously and nodded.

"Alright, as long as we can rise to Class A, I'll cooperate with you as much as possible."

The two reached a verbal agreement, and Akasaka left with a flourish.

The next morning

It was Saturday.

Akasaka planned to make preparations for his upcoming actions.

After all, he intended to earn a large sum of points, so he had to plan ahead.

He came to the electronics supermarket, intending to buy a large number of cameras to set up for his upcoming actions.

As soon as he arrived, he saw a familiar figure.

With burgundy hair and zero-degree glasses to hide her looks, it was his classmate Sakura Airi.

Thinking about the time, it was about this time...

Akasaka looked at the cashier beside him intentionally or unintentionally, his eyes shining brightly.

What good luck... Another opportunity to make money has arrived.

Akasaka walked forward and greeted Sakura (she) from his class, Qianuo. "Yo, good morning Sakura, are you here to buy a digital camera?"

Facing my sudden voice, Sakura was clearly startled, and almost dropped the camera, but she quickly held it tightly in her hands and breathed a sigh of relief.

Turning around and seeing that it was me, she timidly nodded.

"Good morning... Akasaka."
