Morishita Ai, Moved...

Akasaka pouted in dissatisfaction after hearing Sakayanagi's explanation.

"You rich people really have too much time on your hands."

Sakayanagi swayed her finger.

"You can't say that. This School also has ordinary students. For example, the current leader of Class A, Ichinose Honami, comes from an ordinary family and was specially recruited by the school."

"Of course, the school doesn't accept just anyone."

"They only accept talented individuals."

"This School does not cultivate useless people."

"It's really realistic... this School."

Akasaka couldn't help but sigh.

Sakayanagi Arisu, however, felt it was only natural.

"The country spends so much money on this School, so it definitely needs to cultivate many pillars of the nation. Why would they waste money on useless people?"

"The students of this School are all carefully selected from within Japan. They are all top-notch, or have immense potential."

Just as Sakayanagi was explaining the school's complexity, Akasaka's phone received a message.

It was the news that the discussion meeting had ended.

Akasaka showed it to Sakayanagi without any hesitation.

Sakayanagi merely glanced at it and ignored it, as if it had nothing to do with their class.

Akasaka was a little curious.

"Aren't you worried that your class will spend 5 million Personal Points to save someone?"

"It's only been two months since school started. If you don't eat or drink, you'll only have a little over 7 million. After deducting food and drinks, spending 5 million will leave you with very little money."

"In this School, points are everything. This will affect your future actions, you know."

Sakayanagi waved her hand dismissively.

"It's fine. If Katsuragi really spends 5 million to save Totzuka, I'll be even happier."

"Oh?"

Now it was Akasaka's turn to be concerned. He was curious about what scheme Sakayanagi was plotting.

Sakayanagi openly revealed her plan.

"If Katsuragi-kun really spent 5 million to save someone, then his position as leader in the class would surely be shaky, right?"

"He and I each hold half the class's members. I can use this incident to more quickly secure the leadership position in the class."

"As for the lost 5 million Personal Points, to me, it's merely a necessary means to achieve my goal. If they're lost, they're lost."

"Points can be earned again, but an opportunity to quickly unify the class might only come once."

Sakayanagi said meaningfully.

Clearly, she was quite confident about this matter.

Based on her understanding of Katsuragi, he would definitely save Totzuka Yahiko.

Indeed, just as Sakayanagi had guessed, Katsuragi Kohei did choose to spend 5 million Personal Points to save him.

And his position as leader was lost because of it.

From then on, he could no longer contend with Sakayanagi.

Akasaka looked at Sakayanagi Arisu with some curiosity. "You don't seem like someone who would fight for power. Why the sudden change in personality?"

The corners of Sakayanagi's lips curved into a beautiful arc.

"Because I met an interesting person. Someone worth my serious attention."

Sakayanagi Arisu stared directly at me. It was clear that the person she was referring to was me.

Akasaka gave a helpless wry smile.

"Then Sakayanagi-san is really overestimating me. I'm not as outstanding as you think, and there's no need for you to take me so seriously."

Sakayanagi Arisu pointed her Cane at me, declaring war.

"This is a war, Akasaka-kun. It is I, Sakayanagi Arisu, who declares war on you."

"I want to have a fair competition with you, which is why I was so eager to seize the leadership position."

"Even if it damages the class's interests."

"In the past, I wouldn't have cared about a mere leader."

"But now it's different..."

"Because I've found a Prey that interests me greatly."

"Akasaka-kun, will you accept my declaration of war?"

Sakayanagi Arisu's gaze was deep, like a cat that had locked onto its prey, refusing to let go.

Although she looked harmless, beneath that cute exterior was a naked Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Akasaka ignored Sakayanagi's declaration, but he didn't refuse either.

Before leaving, he reminded Sakayanagi.

"If you want to challenge me, bet some points with me."

"You know I'm short on cash, so if you have a large sum of points, I'll definitely play with you."

Sakayanagi Arisu's lips gradually curved into a beautiful arc.

"Then I'll work hard to earn money, Akasaka-kun. I'll have a fair fight with you next time. I won't lose again."

Akasaka walked away, this time for real.

Kamuro looked at the two lunatics and couldn't help but say in annoyance.

"Crazy! You're both crazy! To suffer such a big loss for the class over such a trivial matter, you're not normal people!"

Sakayanagi, however, said indifferently.

"Kamuro-san, there aren't many normal people in this School. You need to learn to adapt to the environment."

"Adapt to what? I'm not playing with you lunatics anymore!"

Kamuro grabbed her schoolbag and walked away.

She swore she would never be as crazy as these lunatics. They were simply unreasonable.

Sakayanagi Arisu shook her head helplessly and gently stood up.

"Let's go, Morishita-san."

"Huh?"

Seeing Morishita not react, Sakayanagi looked over in confusion.

At this moment, Morishita Ai was still gazing in the direction Akasaka had left, lost in thought.

Sakayanagi took this opportunity to tease her.

"Are you really smitten?"

Morishita nodded noncommittally.

"I guess so. After all, we're kindred spirits. If we were together, we'd probably be very happy."

Sakayanagi sighed helplessly.

"I created an opportunity for you, but unfortunately, the other party isn't interested for now."

"I know..."

Morishita Ai snapped back to reality, took Sakayanagi's hand, and led her away.

"Now you can dedicate yourself to me wholeheartedly, can't you? Even though I failed."

Sakayanagi said meaningfully.

Morishita Ai nodded gently, tacitly agreeing.

"Very good. Then I'll be counting on you from now on, as my Left and Right Arm."

"I'm happy to serve you, Miss Sakayanagi..."

Meanwhile, Akasaka arrived at the Student Council, before Horikita Manabu.

He deliberately waited until everyone else had left, leaving only Horikita Manabu, before entering.

Horikita Manabu was somewhat surprised to see him arrive.

"Regarding your class's affairs, I thought you would intervene. I didn't expect you to choose to stand by and watch."

Akasaka walked over to the sofa and sat down.

"You can't say that. I intended to intervene, but only after the fact."

"Oh? After the fact," Horikita Manabu's interest was piqued.

"Tell me, what do you plan to do?"

Akasaka tossed a USB Drive to Horikita Manabu. As Horikita Manabu caught it and was about to ask, Akasaka interrupted him.

Akasaka stood up with his hands in his pockets, his expression still calm.

"Tonight at 8:30 PM. Remember, not a minute more, not a minute less. You must open this USB Drive at exactly 8:30 PM, and then you'll know what to do."

"Whatever you do, don't open it early. It will ruin my plan."

Horikita Manabu pushed up the black-rimmed glasses on his face.

"What's in it for me?"

"Helping your Sister get promoted to the next class. What do you say, is that enough?"

"Alright, I'll help you with this!"

Horikita Manabu clenched the USB Drive in his hand.

"I will cooperate with you. 8:30 PM, no more, no less."

Seeing this, Akasaka was relieved and prepared to leave.
