Classroom of the Elite, After the Information Refreshed, They Always Want to Conquer Me!

It was just a simple conversation, considered as after-sales service for those 80,000 points.

Opening the door, Matsushita Chiaki was indeed standing outside.

I have to admit, among the girls in Class D, Matsushita Chiaki's appearance and temperament are top-tier.

She possesses the kind of poise cultivated by a good upbringing, which is still quite rare to see in ordinary people.

"Please, come in." Shimizu Akira stepped aside to clear the way.

Matsushita Chiaki hesitated slightly, but upon seeing Karuizawa Kei looking normal inside the room, she nodded gently and walked in.

She walked straight toward her friend and suddenly wore an expression of realization: "I understand why you've been acting so strangely."

Karuizawa Kei's fingertips trembled slightly.

"You must have run out of points, right?" Matsushita Chiaki leaned in close, unable to hide her smile, "What are you trying to hold on for?"

"..." Karuizawa Kei froze for two seconds, her tense shoulders suddenly relaxing, "Haha, you saw right through me, didn't you?"

"Don't worry! I just finished talking to Maya and Nene on the phone. They are each lending you 8,000 points, and I will lend you 9,000. That way, you'll be able to pay the class fee, right!" she said in one breath.

"Ah... you guys pooled money for me?!" Karuizawa Kei looked at him with sudden surprise, "Thank you all so much! I'll definitely treat you to a big meal next month!"

Kushida Kikyou: Is Chabashira Sae an idiot?

Just as Shimizu Akira was about to say something, his phone suddenly vibrated. It was the latest vote count sent by Kushida Kikyou.

Kushida Kikyou: I have 17 votes now, and Hirata-kun has 18. As long as he can secure 3 more votes, the position of class representative will be set in stone.

Kushida Kikyou: Shimizu-kun, although I told you to do nothing before, the reason I kept you around at the cafe was because of Kouenji Rokusuke.

Kushida Kikyou: So, could I ask you to pull a vote from Kouenji Rokusuke? Just one vote is enough. As for those four people with Karuizawa Kei, I will find a way.

This line of text made him pause, and a key detail suddenly surfaced in his mind.

In that case, Kushida Kikyou only needs to get 4 votes to completely surpass Hirata Yosuke.

(Wait! Four votes?!)

His gaze involuntarily fell on the indifferent face of Matsushita Chiaki and the smiling face of Karuizawa Kei.

(Their little group has four people... exactly four votes...)

Shimizu Akira pondered to himself, glancing at Matsushita Chiaki thoughtfully.

(It's interesting that the one who completely solved Karuizawa Kei's voting problem is actually this Matsushita Chiaki, who seems to be staying out of it.)

(Is this a coincidence, or was it intentional?)

(As expected... this person is not simple!)

"Kei, who do you think we should vote for? We'll listen to you. Kushida Kikyou or Hirata Yosuke? Shimizu-kun, why don't you share your thoughts too?" Matsushita Chiaki suddenly spoke up.

"Well..." Karuizawa Kei's eyes flickered, her gaze landing on Shimizu Akira, "I'm not really sure either! Shimizu-kun, why don't you go first?"

"Both are very suitable." Shimizu Akira stated his position straightforwardly.

In his eyes, the abilities of the two were indeed on par.

Matsushita Chiaki was slightly taken aback by this, giving him a meaningful look.

"Since that's the case..." Karuizawa Kei bit her lower lip, "Let's vote for Kushida-san. Having a girl as class representative is more beneficial for us. Besides..."

Her voice grew lower, and she suddenly looked at Shimizu Akira thoughtfully, recalling how she was always hovering around Hirata Yosuke at the beginning of the school year.

Now that she had chosen Shimizu Akira as her support, she really shouldn't get too close to another boy.

"...Is that so?" Matsushita Chiaki's eyes widened slightly, and after a brief moment of contemplation, she nodded gently, "Alright, since Kei said so, we'll listen to you."

"Then let's go!" Karuizawa Kei affectionately took Matsushita Chiaki's arm, and the two left Shimizu Akira's room just like that.

Shimizu Akira thought for a moment and simply sent a message to Kushida Kikyou.

Shimizu Akira: Those four people with Karuizawa Kei all voted for you.

Shimizu Akira: So, your vote count should be 21 now. You have completely become the class representative of Class D. The voting game is over.

Shimizu Akira: Our previous deal is also completely over.

In Kushida Kikyou's dormitory, the cold light of the phone screen reflected on her exquisite face, which had stiffened in shock.

"Eh? Voted for me... four votes?" She stared at the message sent by Shimizu Akira, momentarily doubting if she had misread it.

What happened?

Those four people with Karuizawa Kei... all voted for me?

This result was too absurd, so absurd that she even suspected it was someone's prank.

After all, just a few days ago, Karuizawa Kei was still putting on that sickeningly arrogant attitude.

"Shimizu-kun must have done something..." she muttered to herself.

Indeed, scenes of Karuizawa Kei frequently approaching Shimizu Akira during the first week flashed back in her mind, and she had even gone as far as joining the Boxing Club...

At this moment, her phone suddenly began to vibrate continuously.

Karuizawa Kei, Matsushita Chiaki, Sato Maya, and Mori Nene—the transfer notifications for the four of them arrived one after another, twenty-five thousand points from each.

The total class funds received over these past few days amounted to 525,000 points. That made for 21 votes in total.

This number caused her heart rate to accelerate sharply.

She had surpassed Hirata Yosuke... she had actually done it.

"Heehee... the class representative... as expected of me." Suppressed laughter spilled from the lips of Kushida Kikyou as she hugged her pillow and rolled around on her bed.

In this moment, there was no need for any pretense.

Because this was her own dormitory room.

She could do whatever she wanted.

What did the power of a class representative mean?

Dominance over class decision-making, the natural obedience of her classmates... and more importantly, those two people who secretly looked down on her now had no choice but to look up to her.

Especially that Horikita Suzune.

Kushida Kikyou suddenly realized that before taking her next step, she had to tally the votes her classmates had gathered for her over the past few days to determine the final winner.

After all, she had promised her classmates: if a male student won, she would go on a date with him; if a female student won, she would pay them eighty thousand personal points.

She carefully checked her chat history, only to find that the number of private message notifications she had received was sparse.

Gathering votes was, indeed, much more difficult than she had imagined.

Only five or six people had successfully secured a vote for her—among them were the names of Yamauchi Haruki and Ike Kanji.

Incidentally, both of these men had coincidentally submitted the name of Sudo Ken.

"Looking at it this way, even if it had been a fair competition, Shimizu Akira was destined to win..." Kushida Kikyou suddenly realized an obvious fact.

She couldn't help but wonder if she had done all this for nothing.

But on second thought, hindsight was not always reliable.

Such insurance measures had seemed necessary at the time.

"Still... I really should thank Shimizu-kun properly." She suddenly covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes and brows tinged with a hint of delight.

Her fingers tapped lightly on her phone screen as she was the first to announce Shimizu Akira's victory in the group she had created.

Her gaze swept inadvertently toward the corner of the room, where the uniform, carefully wrapped in plastic wrap, made her breath hitch slightly.

The scene from that night surfaced in her mind again—his unreserved touch made the tips of her ears burn involuntarily.

"Honestly..." she muttered softly, "he certainly didn't hold back at the time... but, I suppose he did listen to me, after all, I was the one who let him touch me."

Her gaze returned to the screen, where the message sent by Shimizu Akira remained prominent.

Especially the line "My points have a great use," which, thinking back on it now, still made her feel both annoyed and amused.

The feeling that had once made her grit her teeth in frustration had now transformed into a slight curve at the corner of her mouth.

But the facts proved that all this effort was worth it.

She took a deep breath and sent a message to her homeroom teacher informing her that she had obtained 21 votes, while simultaneously transferring the 525,000 points to her.

However, what awaited her was not the expected praise, but a cold, icy reply:

"Oh, remember, don't forget to announce the matter regarding the surveillance tomorrow."

"Chabashira Sae..." she gritted her teeth as she spat out the name, "Who do you think I'm working for? Using me and then putting on this face... it's absolutely disgusting!"

"Is she an idiot? If she's going through menopause, she should just go take a vacation!"

077 Sakayanagi Arisu: Yes, my father is the chairman.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Shimizu Akira stared blankly at his phone screen.

A new message notification suddenly lit up:

Kushida Kikyou: These are photos from when we went to the beach before summer vacation~

Immediately after, three more popped up:

Kushida Kikyou: Shimizu-kun did a great job this time, this is a special reward just for you, only for you, keep it a secret!

Kushida Kikyou: If I find out that any other male students have this photo... you know the consequences, right? (Smiling face)

Kushida Kikyou: I hope we have a pleasant cooperation next time.

Shimizu Akira's finger clicked on the image involuntarily.

In the photo, Kushida Kikyou was wearing a pink bikini, standing on the beach under the setting sun.

The swimsuit accentuated the proud curves of her figure, her long legs and graceful waistline formed perfect proportions, and her damp hair clung to her cheeks, carrying a hint of playful sexiness.

He had to admit, as a man, this photo was indeed well-taken.

Shimizu Akira didn't think much of it and replied directly: "Received."

There didn't seem to be much else to say at a time like this. A girl had taken the initiative to send a swimsuit photo, so he might as well accept it calmly.

Being coy would not be in his character.

(Could he be thinking that I was the one who put Karuizawa Kei up to this?)

(Come to think of it, that possibility is actually quite high.)

After all, Karuizawa Kei had been stealing glances at his expression the entire time she was offering that suggestion.

However, does he really think being the class representative is a good gig? In the eyes of Shimizu Akira, the position of Class D representative is nothing but a thankless chore.

"Now that the twenty-five thousand points for the class fund have been collected, it's time for an explanation regarding the surveillance cameras."

Notifications regarding the surveillance cameras had already been relayed to the other classes one after another, yet there had been no movement from Class D.

Now that the class representative election had settled, he should finally be able to focus on handling this matter.

A new message popped up on his phone.

Shimizu Akira glanced at the sender—Sakayanagi Arisu.

Message from the main account: You're selling them for quite a high price.

Shimizu Akira naturally understood what she was referring to.

But considering his current identity, he simply replied with a slow question mark.

Shimizu Akira: ?

Sakayanagi Arisu: Still playing dumb! I've already asked my father.

Shimizu Akira was slightly taken aback.

Wasn't her father the chairman of this school? If Sakayanagi Arisu had truly investigated, his identity would likely have been exposed long ago.

However, Shimizu Akira still believed this was just her testing him—someone as proud as Sakayanagi Arisu usually despised it when others suggested she relied on her father's power.

Shimizu Akira: Who is your father?

Sakayanagi Arisu: My father is the school chairman—Sakayanagi Narimori, you know.

Sakayanagi Arisu: Hehe, regardless of whether you are truly that person or not, let me tell you about an interesting thing that happened at noon today.
