Classroom of the Elite, I Really Just Want to Collect All the CGs

Sakayanagi Arisu did not reply to Shikime Natsu's question, but instead requested a meeting once again.

What on earth is this person trying to do?

Shikime Natsu truly couldn't fathom it; a girl coming to a boy's room late at night—this just wasn't right, was it?

"Room XXX, Building X."

Chapter 15: I Want You to Be My Maid, Sakayanagi

Shikime Natsu could have easily taken a screenshot and posted this message to the group chat, leaving Sakayanagi Arisu, this mole, with absolutely nowhere to hide.

Of course, that would be an incredibly irrational move.

Because judging by Sakayanagi Arisu's behavior, the interests of the class were not very important to her. If she chose to go down in flames—for instance, by being late or pulling other stunts—then it would definitely impact the class points.

For the school, calculating the point fluctuations of an individual might be quite troublesome, but... calculating them for an entire class was much easier.

Shikime Natsu wasn't sure if the monthly point distribution was based on individual behavior or the class as a whole. If it were the latter, well, as the saying goes, one bad apple spoils the whole bunch.

For Shikime Natsu, this was an unbearable risk. If the classes were truly divided by rank, this girl should have been in Class D!

Who starts off by backstabbing their own people right out of the gate?

Shikime Natsu felt a headache coming on.

After weighing his options, Shikime Natsu decided to wait for Sakayanagi Arisu in his dorm room.

This school was actually quite open-minded. Although there were rules against improper relations between male and female students, various types of condoms were still being sold on campus.

So... the prohibition must be specifically against getting someone pregnant.

"I'm outside the door."

No doorbell, just a message on his phone. Does she really think she's Mary?

Shikime Natsu muttered a quick complaint to himself before opening the door.

"Good evening."

Sakayanagi Arisu nodded slightly toward Shikime Natsu. She was still wearing her school uniform, and since it was only nine o'clock in the evening, it was still relatively early.

"Speak. Why are you doing this?"

Shikime Natsu asked casually once Sakayanagi Arisu had stepped inside.

"Don't you think that if things just stayed like this, it would be too boring?"

Sakayanagi Arisu chuckled, her eyes filled with a hint of playfulness.

Too boring?

Shikime Natsu didn't think so at all. How could something that allowed one to earn benefits so easily be considered boring?

If anything, what Sakayanagi Arisu was doing was the boring part in Shikime Natsu's eyes.

"Is that the only reason?"

Shikime Natsu asked again, feeling uncertain. Regardless of anything else, this answer was just too eccentric.

For a moment, Shikime Natsu didn't even know what to say.

I'll say it again: should Sakayanagi Arisu really be in Class A?

"Of course not. I want to challenge you."

A flicker of genuine interest finally appeared in Sakayanagi Arisu's eyes.

Well... this answer was also quite hard to accept.

[CG7: Wanting an Interesting Opponent (Sakayanagi Arisu)]

[As long as one can maintain their own interests, and as long as one can cross swords with an interesting and powerful opponent, the interests of the class... are irrelevant.]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the skill card: Insight (You can easily see through a person's true intentions and detect any backstabbers in advance.)]

Well, this answer was acceptable.

He had only been at this school for a single day, yet he had already triggered seven CGs. It was safe to say things were going quite well, and his mood couldn't help but improve a little.

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

Shikime Natsu's gaze fell upon Sakayanagi Arisu. This girl was truly malicious, and the description of that CG, in particular, left him stunned.

She was a bona fide problem child!

"It's simple. The plan to purchase information from the upperclassmen has failed. You just need to bring more benefits to the class than the profit gained from buying information from the teachers and selling it to other classes. In other words... one million points."

Sakayanagi Arisu extended a slender index finger and rested it lightly on her cane, her eyes fixed on Shikime Natsu with intense interest, as if she were looking forward to seeing how he would break the deadlock.

Spending two million points to buy school information from Mashima Tomoya and then selling it to the other three classes for one million each resulted in a net gain of one million for Class A.

However... since Sakayanagi Arisu had laid it out like this, it proved that he couldn't just raise the resale price.

And the path of buying at a low price from the upperclassmen had also been blocked.

"Since it's a challenge, there must be a wager, right?"

Shikime Natsu's gaze remained on Sakayanagi Arisu. She had fair skin, a very cute appearance, and the silver hair that so many people adored. Combined with that frail, sickly aura, she could easily stir up a sense of protectiveness in others. The white thigh-highs and her short skirt created an absolute territory, and even on someone as slender as Sakayanagi Arisu, her thighs had a very tangible, soft quality to them.

She is so cute, yet such a problematic girl. What a real pain.

"If you can pull it off, then the ninety thousand points in my hand are all yours."

Sakayanagi Arisu took out her phone, which still had over ninety thousand points remaining. Losing ninety thousand points all at once would definitely make the coming month quite difficult to endure.

"Is that really all? That's not enough, is it?"

Shikime Natsu shook his head. One had to realize that Sakayanagi Arisu had personally cut off the path to purchasing information from the upperclassmen, which should have yielded far greater benefits—certainly much more than ninety thousand points.

"I can guarantee that for the next year, I will not do anything that harms the interests of the class."

Only a year?

What exactly is going on inside this girl's head?

However, not causing trouble for the class for a year is indeed a decent option. The guarantee is valid; that is the answer provided by Shikime Natsu's Insight.

"Isn't that something you should be doing anyway?"

"No, that's not necessarily true... I'm a person who follows my own whims. Don't let my appearance fool you; very few people can actually restrain me."

Sakayanagi Arisu placed a hand gently on her chest, revealing a faint smile.

Is she really trying to pretty up such a rotten personality like that?

"Since it was I who blocked the path to buying information from the upperclassmen, Shikime-kun won't have to bear any consequences even if you fail."

What does she mean by "won't have to bear any consequences"?

The biggest consequence he would face is his prestige within the class. If he had been able to purchase information from the upperclassmen, his authority would have been basically solidified. But if the method he proposed failed, it would inevitably have an impact.

This brat in front of him definitely knows that.

"The time limit is one week. After one week, if Shikime-kun cannot do it, then... I will be the one to make a better decision."

"How about it? Do you dare to accept my challenge?"

Sakayanagi Arisu was brimming with fighting spirit.

This girl, is she still setting her sights on the position of class leader?

That is absolutely out of the question, because the status of Class A leader is convenient for collecting CGs. No matter what, Shikime Natsu will not give it up easily.

"Fine, but... I think we should add one more condition. If one side loses, that person has to serve the winner for a week. How about it?"

Shikime Natsu added a condition, and it wasn't just one that favored himself.

"Ara, is Shikime-kun interested in my frail body?"

Sakayanagi Arisu narrowed her eyes.

"No, I want you to become my maid."

"I also look forward to seeing the class leader serving me properly."

Hearing this, Sakayanagi Arisu let out a soft chuckle, a strange emotion flashing through her eyes.

Naturally, this counted as accepting the condition.

Chapter 16: Ichinose-san, let's make a deal

After sending Sakayanagi Arisu off, Shikime Natsu lay back down on his bed. The time limit is one week, and today counts as well. He wondered what that girl Sakayanagi Arisu was thinking.

There are truly many beautiful girls in this school, but there are also many problematic ones.

So... what should he do next?

Shikime Natsu took out his phone and opened his contact list.

"You're the worst!"

???

Shikime Natsu was completely bewildered. He had only just opened the message sent by Kamuro Masumi when he noticed those three words.

What did he even do?

However... Shikime Natsu could imagine that the other end of the phone was filled with nothing but disgust.

"What's wrong?"

Shikime Natsu still wanted to know what he had done to make Kamuro Masumi send him such an excessive remark. After all, he really hadn't done anything terrible, right?

Well... scamming Horikita Suzune out of her points probably shouldn't count. In Shikime Natsu's view, that information was worth the sixty thousand points.

After all, purchasing information about this school from the teachers would cost two million points, so his few pieces of intel were more than enough.

"Someone saw Sakayanagi enter your room. You caught her weakness and threatened her, right? I never expected you to be such a perverted lolicon!"

Shikime Natsu had assumed Sakayanagi Arisu would try to avoid being seen, but he never expected her to not even bother hiding it. This girl... she really is excessive.

Sakayanagi Arisu is probably hiding somewhere, snickering to herself.

Shikime Natsu immediately began to explain; his glorious image absolutely could not be ruined so easily by Sakayanagi Arisu.

"Why didn't you tell anyone about this?"
