Akasaka Needs to Act.

Akasaka feared he would be at a disadvantage facing Ryuen Kakeru alone, so he wanted to bring two capable fighters as his bodyguards.

Akasaka's first target was Horikita, whom he found studying in the Library.

He also approached Kato Megumi, who was studying beside her.

At this point, Kato and Horikita had formed an inseparable bond.

Their relationship was subtle, neither quite friends nor not.

It was simply that Horikita couldn't do anything about the good-natured Kato Megumi, so she let her stay by her side.

And Kato Megumi, in order to study, had clung to Horikita, who was among the top students.

Horikita had no way to deal with her; she was practically her nemesis.

Just like Yukinoshita and Yuihama.

Their relationship was very subtle, just like this one.

The only difference was that Kato Megumi's level was higher; she had Horikita completely under her thumb and even found it amusing.

Seeing Akasaka arrive, the two greeted him.

"Akasaka, are you here to study too?"

Kato asked curiously.

Horikita merely glanced at her without a word, but her eyes were also filled with a hint of curiosity.

Akasaka pulled over a nearby chair and sat opposite them, saying with some helplessness.

"I'm here to ask for Horikita's help."

Horikita raised an eyebrow, put down her textbook, and crossed her arms.

"Oh? Tell me about it."

Seeing the exact same reaction as the President, Horikita Manabu, Akasaka secretly sighed, truly siblings, identical in some ways.

Then he stated his request.

"I plan to go talk to the leader of Class C, Ryuen Kakeru, about some matters, but I don't dare go alone. I need a capable bodyguard."

Horikita now understood his request, resting her chin on her hand, she pondered.

"What do you need to talk to him about?"

"We just finished a debate with Class C, and our relationship isn't exactly friendly."

"You going to find him at this juncture isn't a good thing."

Speaking of which, Akasaka still didn't know the result of the debate, so he curiously asked.

"What was the result today?"

Horikita knew I had left midway and didn't know the details, so she spoke up to explain for me.

"Chabashira spent 5 million Personal Points to save Yamauchi."

"Class B on the other side was the same. Led by Katsuragi Kohei, they crowdfunded 5 million from the students to save Totzuka Yahiko."

"Both classes took a big hit because of this."

"Especially Class B, they used up almost all their Personal Points."

"Oh right, this month's points have also been distributed. You should check."

Reminded by Horikita, I also took out my phone and looked at the points issued this month.

Class A's Ichinose, 915 points last month, plus 60 from the individual exam this month, totaling 975 points.

Class B's Katsuragi Kohei, 855 points last month, plus 70 points from the individual exam this month, totaling 925 points.

Class C's Ryuen Kakeru, 490 points last month, plus 80 points from the individual exam this month, totaling 570 points.

Class D's Hirata Yosuke, zero points last month, plus 87 points from the individual exam this month, totaling 87 points.

The points obtained this month were 8700 Personal Points.

Akasaka put his phone back in his pocket. There was no need to look anymore; knowing the result was enough.

Then he looked at Horikita Suzune and asked again.

"Suzune, can you fight?"

"Don't call me Suzune! We aren't that close."

Horikita retorted first, then continued.

"I've practiced Karate and Grappling. Normal one-on-one is fine. For 3-4 people, that's my limit."

Akasaka clapped his hands.

"Amazing! Are you willing to accompany me and be my bodyguard?"

Horikita initially wanted to refuse. She didn't want to get involved in this troublesome matter, but thinking back, she owed Akasaka a favor. She decided to repay it by helping him this time.

Thinking this, Horikita acted accordingly.

She stood up, shook her beautiful hair, and said with a proud expression.

"I'll accompany you this time, consider it repayment for you buying the exam papers last time."

"From now on, we'll be even."

Akasaka said it was fine.

Kato Megumi also wanted to participate, but Akasaka refused.

The reason was that it was too dangerous and not suitable for a girl.

Horikita heard this and raised an eyebrow.

"Are you implying that I'm not a girl?"

Akasaka quickly explained, lest he be beaten by Horikita.

"You're different. You're a capable girl with self-preservation abilities. Kato doesn't."

Horikita reluctantly accepted this explanation and looked at Kato, also suggesting she shouldn't go.

Kato Megumi said expressionlessly.

"Someone with my low presence, do you think they'll notice me?"

Akasaka and Horikita fell silent.

Thinking about it, with Kato Megumi's presence, they might even forget she was there while talking.

In the end, unable to dissuade Kato, they decided to bring her along.

But even with this lineup, it still wasn't safe.

Akasaka planned to call for reinforcements. He took out his phone and contacted someone.

"So? You called me over in the middle of the night for this?"

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka looked expressionlessly at his only sworn friend and troublemaker, truly helpless.

He really didn't want to get involved in these matters, but he couldn't help it. He was his only friend in this school, and also his most useful tool. He really didn't want the other party to get into an accident.

Of course, Akasaka didn't intend for him to work for free. He promised to give everyone 100,000 Points as a reward after the job was done.

But Horikita clearly refused.

She said it was to repay the favor from last time, and from then on, she would owe him nothing.

Akasaka was also happy, as he saved 100,000 Points.

With everyone gathered and the time nearly right, Akasaka took out his phone and contacted Shiina from Class C, asking her to lure Ryuen Kakeru out.

As for whether Ryuen Kakeru would come out?

He was confident he would...

Because he had already sent a portion of the video content to Shiina, specifically the scene where Ryuen threatened Yamauchi.

He had happened to film it, and it was a massive windfall.

Ever since he obtained the recording, he had planned this, which was why he did nothing during the debate.

His goal was to let the enemy grow fat before striking.

After Ryuen obtained 10,000,000 Points from the two classes.

He would then extort that 10,000,000 Personal Points back from him. It was perfect.

Meanwhile, Ryuen Kakeru was at a Karaoke bar, treating all his classmates to a feast to celebrate their great victory.

But for some reason, Ryuen Kakeru's brow kept twitching uncontrollably.

"Strange, why do I have a bad feeling?"

Soon, his premonition came true.

Shiina walked over with a troubled expression and handed her Mobile Terminal to Ryuen.

The content on the phone was what Akasaka had sent.

The message read:

[Hello there! Miss Ryuen Kakeru, I have a lovely treasure here, would you like to see it?]

Attached comment: Sinful Money.

Below is the video sent by Sinful Money.

[Video]

After watching the video, Ryuen Kakeru's veins bulged on his forehead.

He wished he could smash the phone on the spot.

But since it was Shiina's phone, he managed to restrain himself.

He stood up from the sofa in anger.

How could he still be in the mood to celebrate? His actions were exposed, and the other party had video evidence. This was bad...

The time was now 7 PM.
