There's No Point Panicking (Continued)

In fact, Asakusa Toru panicked a little when he turned around.

But this was actually within Ryuen Kakeru's expectations. It was precisely this kind of competition that ignited his passion; only such a contest could make people eager to try.

But this was something Ryuen Kakeru never expected.

'Report'.

Why would anyone resort to reporting someone?

Ah?

Are you serious?

Why would competition and ruthless tactics among students warrant escalating to higher authorities?

And what's with your mother's stupid school? You believe everything they say?

Four in the morning! You brought a group of teachers to search my classroom at four in the morning?

That's just too much!

"Ryuen, you've been caught." Standing to the side of the teachers' line, their Class C homeroom teacher, Sakagami Kazuma, said listlessly, "You need to explain yourself."

"Where did these things we found in your bag come from?"

He yawned, surprisingly not showing much of a protective attitude as he usually did.

But it is precisely because of this that Ryuen Kakeru was able to grasp the meaning that Sakagami Kazuma wanted to convey.

Confess and you will be treated leniently; resist and you will be implicated.

The evidence is conclusive; don't drag Sakagami Kazuma.

Sakagami Kazuma's stance is already very clear.

But...

Ryuen Kakeru was still unwilling to give up.

He wanted to struggle a little longer.

"Class D, I got it from Class D."

Fortunately, Class D provided him with an extremely suitable excuse today.

"What, the school is even interfering in private transactions between students?"

Glancing at his panicked classmates, Ryuen Kakeru knew that this was the moment he needed to reassure them.

Neither one's own dignity nor one's prestige as a leader should be easily diminished by the so-called school.

Otherwise, his rule would be unstable.

But who exactly resorted to such an outrageous tactic as reporting others?

After a moment of contemplation, Ryuen Kakeru's gaze settled on the 'lackey' who had just been shouting.

With his blond hair, he seemed so frivolous, like a weather vane.

... This guy is a Sakayanagi Arisu.

So that's how it is. That cripple, Sakayanagi Arisu, made his move.

Oh.

Ryuen Kakeru's gaze turned cold.

"Whether the school interferes or not depends on the list given by Class D; does it include anything you brought?" Asakusa Toru, pulled out a bunch of grape-like fruit from his person and openly acted as a spectator, saying:

"So that's it. Please produce the list of signed contracts to prove your innocence."

"Don't tell me there's no such thing. I don't believe they'd agree to a deal without a contract. The people in Class D may be a bit stupid, but they're not that stupid."

Moreover, it was Kushida Kikyo who was in charge of negotiating with Class C.

She will ensure that even the most basic deal is reached.

"Asakusa-- " Hearing Asakusa Toru's gloating and lighthearted words, Ryuen Kakeru bit his lower lip, raised his head and gave him a deep look. A strange light flashed in his eyes. He took a deep breath. "Ishizaki, go get it for the teacher."

He admitted defeat.

Just now, when he looked over, Asakusa Toru casually took out his key card and started waving it around.

Ryuen Kakeru understood what he meant.

'If we don't resolve the teacher's problem soon, I'm going to openly and legitimately walk over and take over their base the moment the countdown ends!'

This is truly... humiliating!

You fucking idiot, Sakayanagi Arisu, shouldn't you be targeting Class A above you? Why are you hitting me!

Being surrounded and attacked by two classes at the same time... that feels disgusting!

He knew very well that he didn't have time to waste any more time with the teachers.

If you admit defeat now, you still have a chance; if you don't admit defeat...

Ha, with someone like Sakayanagi Arisu reporting this through Nepo Baby, the teacher might actually stop me from confirming the violation, while letting Asakusa Toru take over the base.

That's right, Ryuen Kakeru knows very well that teachers are not important, whistleblowing is not important, and Asakusa Toru is not important either.

But the fact that the whistleblower was Sakayanagi Arisu is very important.

... That's really disgusting.

A dead-end Nepo Baby.

"..." Taking a deep breath and then letting out a long breath, Ryuen Kakeru glanced at the situation of his class's camp once again.

The students who were called out, the teachers who were inspecting, their own homeroom teacher, the homeroom teacher of the Sakayanagi Class, and... the Sakayanagi Class students who came over to observe and confirm the records under the pretext of reporting.

The purple-haired henchman is named Kamuro Masumi; the blond-haired lackey is named Hashimoto Masayoshi; the hook-nosed idiot is named Kito Hayato; and there's a bald guy who somehow ended up with us, named Katsuragi Kohei.

As students, they certainly cannot interfere with the teacher's inspection at will, but at the same time, as the party reporting, they are allowed to watch from here and, incidentally, shout a couple of times like Hashimoto Masayoshi.

"..."

In fact, whistleblowing is a tactic in itself. If the person using this tactic is not Sakayanagi Arisu, Ryuen Kakeru feels that it is still acceptable and he can handle it.

But when it's Sakayanagi Arisu uses this tactic, the situation changes.

Teachers would even conduct surprise raids at 4 a. m., when all the students were asleep and had no time to react, after receiving reports.

If it were Ryuen Kakeru reported it, the school might uphold fairness and conduct a search like they are doing now, but they would never take action at four in the morning.

Especially waking up so many teachers.

Even if it were daytime Ryuen Kakeru wasn't there, he believed that Shiina Hiyori would realize what the teacher was there for and would try to hide her 'personal belongings'.

However, the operation took place in the early morning, so even if it were Shiina, he wouldn't have had any opportunity to do anything!

That's why it's disgusting.

However, oh well.

Since I'm disgusted, you won't have it easy either.

A glint of light flashed in Ryuen Kakeru's eyes.

"Snort."

His mind is clearer than ever before. The more sleep-deprived he is, the clearer his mind feels. He is so clear-headed that it seems like he can do anything.

Once the presence of everyone in sight is taken into account, the information deduction is completed in an instant, like lightning.

There were four students from the Sakayanagi Class present, and he was quite familiar with three of them.

When they plotted to frame Kito Hayato, the other two people followed Sakayanagi Arisu like protectors.

Based on the intelligence gathered afterward, there is no doubt that these three people were Sakayanagi Arisu's biggest lackeys.

The short man trusted the three of them quite a bit.

In other words, although there is no concrete evidence, it is highly likely that one of these three people is the 'leader' of Class B.

Even if it doesn't exist, it doesn't matter. Based on his understanding of Class B, there probably aren't any reliable people in Class B right now.

Without a doubt, this is an excellent opportunity.

As for what kind of opportunity...

"Hey, Asakusa." Ryuen Kakeru raised his head and looked at Asakusa Toru in the tree in front of everyone. "What's your relationship with that shorty Sakayanagi?"

Everyone else present was puzzled, wondering why Ryuen Kakeru would ask this at this time.

But Asakusa Toru raised an eyebrow.

"Sakayanagi? She's a woman I don't know at all." He looked at Ryuen Kakeru and answered his question with a smile.

Asakusa Toru's answer perfectly matched Ryuen Kakeru's wishes.

Ryuen Kakeru grinned instantly. "Then what are you still waiting for here for?"

"Shouldn't you have 'taken advantage' of her, just like you planned to do to me?"

"You know, it's four in the morning."

Such suggestive words echoed clearly all around. Just as Kamuro Masumi and her group were puzzled, Asakusa Toru suddenly jumped down from the tree.

"I was planning to do the same thing anyway, without you having to tell me." He waved his hand, turned, and disappeared into the bushes.

Withdrawing his gaze from Asakusa Toru's departing figure, and looking at the few Sakayanagi followers who seemed completely oblivious to the situation, Ryuen Kakeru immediately felt a sense of intellectual suppression.

His smile grew even brighter.

You want to remotely control your subordinates to oppose me from afar on a ship?

Do you deserve it?

Want to report me? Then we'll die together!

Without a doubt, what Ryuen Kakeru just said meant that he wanted Asakusa Toru to take over the current Class B base.

He didn't believe that Class B's base had been occupied earlier than Asakusa's, nor did he believe that Class B's base had been occupied much later than his.

Although there's no way to pinpoint a fixed time, as long as Sakayanagi Arisu's mind is functioning properly, the time deviation shouldn't be too significant.

Unless the problem is realized, this move is an absolutely unsolvable "first-encounter kill".

Thinking about this, Ryuen Kakeru even began to admire himself a little.

On the day they received the rules, they devised several solutions to them, and in the instant the situation changed, they deciphered the other party's grasp of the loopholes in the rules.

Look around, all these people seem completely unaware.

That's really interesting.

"What are you waiting for? It's time to reflect on my mistakes." Let me buy you a few more minutes.

Ryuen Kakeru spread his arms wide, revealing a hearty laugh.

Kamuro Masumi: "..."

Something's not right. Something's extremely wrong.

Ryuen Kakeru's smile was sinister. Although his words were rather nonsensical, he was definitely not mentally unstable...

No, he definitely has something wrong with his head, but he's certainly not the kind of idiot who would laugh wildly when he's been reported for something.

Therefore, he definitely did something.

In the conversation just now.

... If she remembered correctly, the man from earlier was Asakusa Toru, whom Sakayanagi Arisu had asked her to investigate a while ago.

Although they hadn't uncovered anything beyond the rumors that were out in the open, Kamuro Masumi still remembered this person.

How did the students in Class A get involved with Ryuen?

Furthermore, what exactly is "what they plan to do to me"? The use of phrases like "taking advantage of me and then cutting me off" is rather disgusting.

Are they a contact list?

I don't know if it's because of what happened to Sakayanagi Arisu before, Kamuro Masumi now seems to have a subtle tendency to look at everything as if it were her contact list.

After thinking for a moment, Kamuro Masumi kicked Hashimoto's shin and whispered:

"I'll go report the situation to Sakayanagi. You stay here and keep watch."
