Secret Meeting with Horikita Manabu

Ryuen watched Akasaka walk away, a resolve forming in his eyes. He turned to Sakamaki Kazuma beside him and asked, "Hey, I've thought of a way to save everyone else. Only I would have to withdraw. Cooperate with me..."

As Ryuen turned, he saw the demoralized Class C homeroom teacher. Veins like coiled dragons bulged on his forehead, threatening to burst. He roared in anger, "What's the use of moping around here?! Get up and fulfill your responsibilities as a teacher, you bastard!"

Ryuen grabbed the dejected Sakamaki Kazuma.

Sakamaki Kazuma stared rigidly at Ryuen, tears welling in his eyes. He was clearly too devastated and broken...

"Tch!" Ryuen scoffed in annoyance and spoke again.

"Teacher Sakamaki, let me ask you, if I take all the blame, will the others be spared from expulsion?"

Sakamaki Kazuma's mouth opened numbly. After a long pause, he couldn't utter a word. His lips trembled as he said, "If you were the mastermind and the others were coerced, they would most likely be exempted from expulsion, but point deductions would be unavoidable."

"That's good enough!" Ryuen released Sakamaki Kazuma. He had gotten the answer he wanted and prepared to bid farewell to his underlings.

He no longer wanted to deal with this useless teacher, who looked no different from a broken man.

Ryuen shoved his hands into his pockets and left, leaving Sakamaki Kazuma sitting there dejectedly, unable to snap out of it for a long time, muttering "It's over, it's over" to himself.

Horikita Manabu sought out Akasaka privately, asking him to meet on the rooftop.

Akasaka decided to accept the invitation, and at the same time, dragged a reluctant Horikita Suzune along.

Suzune struggled fiercely, clearly unwilling to go, and also somewhat afraid her brother would dislike her.

I couldn't help but tut and kindly reminded her.

"Just hide to the side and eavesdrop. I'll let you hear what you want to hear."

Suzune immediately stopped struggling, turning her head away with a tsundere pout. "Don't act like you know me so well..."

Horikita Suzune clearly had the desire to go with them.

Akasaka couldn't help but curl his lips.

"I know you very well, you little brother complex..."

Horikita stomped on Akasaka's foot again, twisting it restlessly. Akasaka grimaced in pain.

The atmosphere between them was so subtle that Kato Megumi, standing nearby, was filled with envy.

"It's so nice... I wish I could playfully bicker with Akasaka-kun like that too..."

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, standing nearby, inappropriately leaned in, patiently wanting to ask Kato Megumi how she learned that stealth skill.

Kato Megumi said expressionlessly, "Ayanokoji-kun, that's not stealth. It's my innate constitution. It can't be taught."

"Is that so..." Ayanokoji showed a look of regret.

After all, if he possessed this divine skill, even if he was forcibly taken back to the White House after graduating from this school, he could escape again with it. It was a pity he was overthinking things; he couldn't learn Kato Megumi's assassination techniques.

Kato Megumi's eyes flickered slightly.

"You seem to be thinking something very rude, Ayanokoji-kun."

Ayanokoji's eyes instantly lit up.

"Can this mind-reading technique be taught?"

"No, Ayanokoji-kun..."

Ayanokoji and Kato Megumi left the area while chatting.

They knew they shouldn't interfere in what was about to happen.

As an intelligent person, Ayanokoji naturally knew what Akasaka intended to do...

And Kato Megumi, who was observant to the point of near mind-reading, knew even better.

She also hoped her only female friend could get along harmoniously with her brother.

That's right! Kato Megumi had unilaterally decided to consider Suzune her good friend.

However, judging by Horikita Suzune's attitude, she didn't seem to refuse, or perhaps she was simply unaware.

After all, in a way, Horikita was quite dense and hadn't noticed Kato Megumi's subtle intentions at all.

Meanwhile, Akasaka was leading a reluctant Horikita, hiding in a corner behind the door, and repeatedly instructing her not to make a sound.

Horikita looked at him as if he were an idiot. "I understand that much. Don't treat me like an idiot."

Akasaka finally relaxed. "That's right, you're not stupid."

Horikita glared at him fiercely and extended her wicked little hand, trying to pinch his kidney, but Akasaka dodged.

"Alright, alright, I'm not joking with you. Hurry up and get ready. I'll let you hear what you want to hear."

Horikita's expression remained unchanged. She silently withdrew her hand and said nothing.

This time, Akasaka said nothing and looked at Horikita Suzune, who had her head bowed, with a faint smile.

"After this is done, you'd better repay me well. Treat me to a good meal, alright?"

Horikita turned her head away. "I don't understand what you're saying..."

"Fine, if you don't understand, then you don't understand."

Akasaka shook his head helplessly, preparing to go out and meet Horikita Manabu. Horikita Manabu had already been waiting by the guardrail for a long time. He looked at the distant scenery and said without turning his head, "You're here..."

Akasaka put his hands in his pockets, facing the sea breeze, and arrived by Horikita Manabu's side with a relaxed and comfortable expression. He placed his hands on the guardrail and looked at the distant scenery.

"This isolated island is truly beautiful!"

This School is an artificial island, a special talent cultivation center established by the Neon government.

Although it appears to be a school on the surface, it is indeed a school...

It's just that the people in this school are not ordinary people. They are the children of company executives, or Fortune Global 500 CEOs, or top talents from various fields.

The reason for establishing this school is to cultivate the children of these influential individuals, allowing them to receive the best education in Neon, so that these people can confidently serve their country.

Putting all that aside, none of it concerns Akasaka. His only thought now is to work hard, pay off his enormous debt, and then start a new life, fall in love, get married, have children, and create a happy and fulfilling family.

This is the life of an ordinary person, and it's also the life Akasaka yearns for the most.

The reason he is working so hard in this school is entirely because a debt of nearly 120 Million is hanging over his neck, forcing him to move forward.

Until his massive debt is repaid, he is not qualified to be in a relationship.

This is a gene ingrained in the bones of a Chinese person.

If you cannot give a girl a happy life, then don't disturb her life, because you cannot give her everything she wants.

This is why Akasaka rejected the excellent girl Morishita Ai.

It wasn't that he didn't want to accept her, but that he was unworthy.

He couldn't possibly be with a girl while carrying a debt of 120 Million; it would be too irresponsible towards her.

Until his debt is repaid, he will not get involved with any girl. This is his principle.
