Abandoned by his entire class, he went from a high-ranking tyrant to a stray dog. This man's primary goal has shifted to winning a match against Aragaki Shun to avenge the series of humiliations he has endured since entering the Advanced Nurturing.

He firmly believed that only those who grit their teeth and win to the end are the victors, and as long as they haven't been completely eliminated before that, they haven't lost, and they definitely still have a chance.

"Mad dog! Watch your mouth!"

Nagumo frowned slightly. He didn't care about Ryuen's evaluation at all. He was just a loser who had been abandoned by the whole class. What right did he have to judge the strength of the second-year students?

Compared to the other person's nonsense, this second-year leader, who had always been used to everything going smoothly, couldn't stand anyone being so arrogant in front of him.

"I'll give you three minutes. Let me see what you're really relying on."

"If you can't convince me and waste my time, you'll soon find out exactly how second grade fell into my hands!"

Without a doubt, this is a blatant threat of expulsion.

For Ryuen Kakeru, having already offended Aragaki Shun in his first year, if he were to further offend the second-year leader and another powerful figure in the Student Council, wouldn't he have no place left in the entire Advanced Nurturing?

Putting everything else aside, the four students from Class D who were expelled a week ago for taking photos in the girls' changing room serve as a stark warning.

The situation looked dire, but Ryuen showed no fear whatsoever.

For him, the fact that Miyabi Nagumo was willing to have a detailed discussion with him meant that half of his initial goal had already been achieved.

From now on, no matter how much he gains, he's still a winner; the only difference is whether it's a big win, a medium win, or a small win.

"You should know that Class 1-C has now fallen into the hands of Aragaki Shun and become a force under his control."

"And in this class, I was the only one who didn't give in."

By stating this fact frankly, Ryuen Kakeru did not believe that Miyabi Nagumo was completely unmoved.

With just a few serious inquiries among the upperclassmen, anyone could discover that after taking control of the second-year students, this man was also trying to extend his influence to the Third Year.

With such a strong desire for control, put yourself in their shoes. If you were them, would you just stand by and watch a first-year student fall into the hands of a rival Student Council without intervening?

That's absolutely impossible!

On the other hand, Ryuen was also completely convinced that Aragaki Shun was definitely not the type to be subservient to others, and that he would definitely compete with Miyabi Nagumo for the position of the next Student Council President after Manabu Horikita stepped down.

Under such circumstances, the confrontation between these two powerful figures was inevitable, and neither side would compromise.

"Not enough," Nagumo didn't deny Ryuen's statement, but sneered, "I do want to place some people in the first year, but what's the point of supporting a loser like you who couldn't even last a semester before being abandoned by the whole class?"

Based on Nagumo's own experience, it would take at least three semesters to completely take control of the entire grade.

But Aragaki Shun achieved the same result in just one semester.

Faced with this reality, as a senior student, the Yellow-haired Senior naturally did not think that he was weaker or that his strength was inferior to that of Aragaki Shun.

Without a doubt, the problem definitely lies with this year's freshmen. The overall quality of the first-year students is far inferior to that of the second-year students, which is why Aragaki Shun was able to integrate them so easily.

To be fair, this kind of statement is very popular in both second and Third Year.

After all, first, the Board Chairman's daughter, who brought this upon herself, emerged in the first year, followed by four criminals who were expelled for taking secret photos.

Judging from these sensational news stories that have shaken the entire school, the quality of this year's freshmen, whether it's the original Class A whose ranking has plummeted or the now severely damaged Class D, is really not high.

Of course, Class C, which was full of delinquents and hot girls, was equally terrible; only Class A was truly outstanding in the entire first year.

Nagumo dares to say that he could do it too, and if he were to unify the first-year students, his speed would definitely not be slower than Aragaki Shun's.

"Stop with the empty talk. Tell me exactly what you can do. I need a solution that works immediately."

It's obvious that Nagumo doesn't believe Ryuen Kakeru has much ability.

In the eyes of this second-year leader, this venomous snake from Class 1-C could at best be a somewhat unskilled tool.

Tools are only eligible for maintenance if their intended use is determined immediately.

Ryuen Kakeru's expression suddenly sharpened, but his fierce gaze met Nagumo's disdainful attitude without even causing a ripple.

Knowing that the person in front of him was the type who wouldn't act until he saw a clear benefit, the tyrant, having already lost his position, could only keep this humiliation in his heart and coldly throw out all his chips.

"I am still a member of Class 1-C. As long as this fact exists, any mistakes I make will be reflected in the overall evaluation of Class C."

"By deliberately violating the code of conduct, I can completely control the evaluation scores of Class C to a certain extent, and thereby restrict the Private Points of everyone in Class C."

In other words, Ryuen could use various violations of rules and regulations to get the school to deduct points from Class C's evaluation score.

As a black sheep, it's difficult for them to do something well, but it's incredibly easy for them to undermine the interests of the group.

From this perspective, how many Private Points Class C can obtain next month and even over the next three years is truly in his hands.

No matter how high a score Class C received under Aragaki Shun's leadership, he would deliberately deduct it, ensuring that no one received a single penny.

This is the most terrifying threat to Advanced Nurturing students, and it will surely make everyone in Class C reconsider their position.

Miyabi Nagumo understood this point and agreed with the other party's idea, but she easily seized upon the loophole in Ryuen's strategy—

"The prerequisite for completing this plan is that you can stay in Class C without being expelled by Aragaki Shun."

If you can't solve the problem, then solve the people who created it.

In previous class competitions, Nagumo had always adhered to a similar philosophy, and as a result, the number of second-year students he deliberately expelled exceeded 10 in the past year alone.

Ryuen Kakeru's plan is theoretically feasible, but will Aragaki Shun allow him to act so recklessly?

It's simply impossible!

"So I need you to give me 20 million Private Points!"

Seeing that Nagumo seemed interested, Ryuen immediately seized the opportunity and repeated his needs once again.

"At Advanced Nurturing, it's not easy to expel someone. As long as the student doesn't actively commit any illegal or criminal acts, even with the Student Council's authority, it's impossible to expel someone without a reason."

"To achieve this goal, it would be best to take advantage of the Special Exam rules, but there are no Special Exam this month, and there are no rules regarding withdrawal from school at next month's Sports Festival."

"Therefore, as long as I am cautious, even Aragaki Shun won't be able to do anything to me in the short term."

After reaching this conclusion, Ryuen Kakeru became more and more excited as he talked, as if he could see that person's exasperated and helpless expression.

To turn this fantasy into reality, he had to use any means necessary and make use of all available resources. His primary task was to persuade this blond-haired sucker in front of him.

"The reason those guys in Class C betrayed me is simply because they felt that following Aragaki Shun would be more promising, they could get more living expenses each month, and there was even a chance to be given the qualification to graduate from Class A."

"But if I can deduct a large number of evaluation points from Class C through internal sabotage, I can thwart their plans. Then, by transferring some Private Points to those who have lost their living expenses, I will have a chance to regain control of the class."

As a manager, you must give your followers enough hope and learn to use both kindness and strictness, with clear rewards and punishments.

--This is the most profound lesson that Ryuen Kakeru learned after enrolling in Advanced Nurturing.

In the past, he had always relied on violence and coercion, but he could not bring any benefits to his subordinates. That is why, after losing all his prestige, he was abandoned by everyone in the class without hesitation.

In any case, those in power can be ruthless, but they must never be both ruthless and incompetent.

Therefore, Ryuen must swindle enough investment from Nagumo, using both harsh measures and sweet promises, in order to have a chance to bring Class C back under its control.

Otherwise, the mere threat of an internal explosion would only cause everyone in Class C to see him as an enemy, and under Aragaki Shun's command, they would unite to drive him out of the Advanced Nurturing.

"That's interesting..."

After listening to Ryuen Kakeru's entire plan, Nagumo looked the venomous snake up and down with great interest.

He had to admit that he might have misjudged the situation; this stray dog, abandoned by everyone in Class C, actually had some skills.

The strategy proposed by the other party is not complicated; it is simply a matter of coercion and inducement. However, a little analysis reveals its feasibility.

As long as Ryuen himself isn't expelled during the process, even if he can't regain control of Class C, he can at least reduce the class's evaluation score to the minimum.

This, to some extent, also weakens Aragaki Shun's foundation, forcing him to lose the resources of an entire class.

As for how to ensure that Ryuen Kakeru will not be easily expelled from school...

"I see, no wonder you came to me."

A playful smile appeared on Miyabi Nagumo's lips. She already knew that Ryuen was eyeing not only his Twenty Million Personal Points, but also his power and status in the Advanced Nurturing.

As a fellow Vice President of the Student Council, only he was able to check and balance Aragaki Shun, preventing Ryuen Kakeru from being suppressed by the Student Council's iron fist during the execution of his plan.

"Indeed, your cleverness has impressed me. In that case, I don't mind adding some leverage to your plan."

"I will lend you four million Private Points as a deposit. As long as what you do is effective, this debt will not only be wiped clean, but I can also support you with another six million."

It's impossible to directly transfer 20 million in cash. Even if Nagumo were stupid, he wouldn't invest so many Private Points in a plan that hasn't even been formulated yet.

But this is just a test with four million. For him, who has integrated the second year, this amount is not too painful even if it has no effect.

After all, he and Aragaki Shun have a bet involving 15 million yen, so this loss is nothing if he wins the Sports Festival.

"Only four million..."

Hearing the price, Ryuen Kakeru was actually quite satisfied, but instinctively wanted to ask for more. However, Nagumo waved his hand and immediately changed the subject, showing no intention of bargaining with him.

"How are you planning to deduct points from Class C's evaluation? If you act too arrogantly, the school may not accept this kind of internally threatening competition."

Frankly speaking, if Ryuen's method of threatening classes with internal bombings were not restricted in the slightest, then every troublemaker in every class in the school would be cheering to become a black sheep.

By simply abandoning one's image within the class, one can collect protection money from the entire class. Is there any easier way to make money in the world?

If this trend continues, fewer and fewer people will behave themselves and compete fairly within the school. Eventually, everyone will just give up, and the evaluation scores of all classes may be reduced to zero.

Staring at Ryuen Kakeru, Nagumo couldn't believe that the other party hadn't even considered this point.

And that is indeed the case.

"I'm being ostracized by the whole class right now. Faced with this silent bullying, can't I just hide in my dorm?"

A man who glorifies violence speaks absurdly with self-righteousness.

242. Ryuen was defiled by Miyabi Nagumo; a scandal that shocked the campus.

"Ryuen claimed that she was isolated by the entire class and couldn't bear this kind of passive-aggressive bullying, so she simply hid in her dormitory and wouldn't come out?"

When Aragaki Shun received the message at noon the next day, he was handling Student Council affairs and almost spat out the tea he had just drunk.

"Afraid of school bullying? Are you sure you're talking about Ryuen Kakeru, that bully who likes to use violence to unify the class?"

Staring dumbfounded at Ibuki Mio in front of her, the Leader of Class A wondered if he was hallucinating, otherwise how could he hear such absurd remarks?

"That's right, that bastard skipped all his classes this morning. Sakagami- sensei went to call him and that's all the news he brought back."

The athletic girl clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.

Ibuki knew she wasn't very smart, but she wasn't really stupid, so how could she not see through this blatant case of the thief crying "stop thief"?

Skipping four classes at once and claiming to be bullied by everyone in the class is bound to attract the school's attention. It's unknown how much the Class C's evaluation score will be deducted as a result.

"That bastard did it on purpose. He only resorted to this disgusting tactic because he lost his standing in the class, trying to take everyone in the class down with him."

The girl took a deep breath, exhaling her frustration, and then looked at Aragaki Shun with some anxiety.

"Now everyone in the class is a bit panicked, afraid that Ryuen will continue to drag the entire Class C down, causing the Class Evaluation Points to drop to zero."

"It's not that bad." Shaking his head, Aragaki Shun calmly analyzed, "If we were to completely deduct all the evaluation points from a class, the consequences would definitely not be what the enemy wants to see."

"Ryuen Kakeru isn't exactly brilliant, but his IQ is normal. He wouldn't do something that would harm both himself and others."

"His goal is probably just to use Class C's evaluation scores to threaten you into continuing to work for him."

Of course, when this tyrant first entered the school, he used violence to forcibly suppress everyone, thereby unifying Class C.

However, this approach proved to be prone to backlash, and a method that had already failed once could not possibly convince the students of Class C a second time.

Therefore, in addition to threats, the other party must offer tangible benefits in order to have any chance of regaining power.

Moreover, these benefits must be something that can be realized on the spot; otherwise, just making empty promises is useless. After all, following a series of failures last semester, the students in Class C no longer believed in the other party's ability to make promises.

In contrast, Aragaki Shun's story of helping people transfer classes is true, and the reward he gave after the Special Exam is also true.

Their reputations in first grade are clearly incomparable.

"If nothing unexpected happens, Ryuen has probably colluded with Class B and even the upperclassmen to obtain a considerable amount of Private Points from somewhere."

Without this bargaining chip, the other party's actions would be nothing short of a joke, serving no purpose other than to attract attention.

But that person is just barbaric; he's not so forgetful as to have no memory at all. After failing so many times, he should have improved by now.

"That guy hasn't given up on stirring up trouble!"

Ibuki Mio snorted, her face full of displeasure. "What should we do? We can't just let him keep causing trouble for the class, can we?"

"What he wants to do is his own business; we just need to proceed at our own pace."

Without changing his expression, Aragaki Shun tidied up the documents on his desk and gestured for the Bun-haired Senior to come over.

Secretary Tachibana Akane kept a straight face, brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, and acted as if it were all business.
