Classroom of the Elite, Starting with a Zero, I'm Just Going to Lay Flat Since I Know the Plot

He was tall and thin, with a red buzz cut.

It was Sudo Ken.

He was the athletic representative of Class D, boasting an A-level evaluation in sports. The club he was talking about now was the Basketball Club; as a freshman, Sudo had already joined the team due to his exceptional physical fitness. It was also said that official team members could receive a living allowance from the school, so it was considered a pretty good choice.

Since Sudo wasn't an official player yet, he naturally had to participate in training according to the schedule.

"If you were asked to tutor the underachievers, would you be willing?" Nakano Yuu asked Horikita Suzune, who was beside him.

"..." Horikita.

The hand Horikita was using to write paused for a moment.

"It doesn't matter, if I am required to do such a thing," Horikita Suzune said.

Hmm.

Although she seemed heartless, Horikita was different from Yukimura, who didn't want to waste time tutoring failing students, even if tutoring them really was a waste of time.

"Then, would you?" Horikita Suzune suddenly countered.

"Me?" Nakano Yuu was just about to answer when he suddenly noticed that Sakura seemed to be looking over, looking somewhat nervous.

Oh.

Nakano Yuu suddenly remembered that Sakura's grades were also at the very bottom.

So, she fell into the category of an underachiever.

"If it were tutoring an average student, I probably wouldn't, but..." He paused, confirming that Sakura was indeed pricking up her ears to listen, and then said, "If it's a cute girl like Sakura, then of course, there's no problem."

"Anyway, I'll be heading off now," Nakano Yuu said to Horikita Suzune, picking up his school bag.

"Do you need me to accompany you today?" Horikita asked.

Accompanying Nakano Yuu meant working a part-time job.

Hmm.

Although her brother had transferred 500,000 points over and told her to spend them as she pleased, Horikita still felt uneasy deep down.

Therefore, she was still concerned about any opportunities for part-time work.

Especially since she had been swindled by Nakano Yuu into aiming for a total of 20 million points, the gap was massive, truly massive.

"No need," Nakano Yuu said. "I have my own plans."

Meeting Classmate Sakayanagi last night, combined with his thoughts before falling asleep, had left him feeling somewhat uneasy.

Nakano Yuu's goal was to gather 20 million points and then bolt.

As long as Horikita was still in school, the Student Council President wouldn't use his authority to expel him. And based on his behavior so far, this Student Council President likely wouldn't use that power in the end anyway.

So, he was a fair and reliable president.

However.

Nakano Yuu still needed those 20 million points.

Although he had the advantage of knowing the plot and there were several special exams where he could make money, now that he had an "ex-wife"—pfft, a "breakup" relationship—with Sakayanagi Arisu, it was highly likely she would increase the difficulty for him once she discovered he was trying to make money.

Even with the addition of Horikita Suzune, the Student Council President's little sister, as a partner, things would still be troublesome.

So.

Since that was the case.

Then he couldn't be blamed for what came next, Classmate Sakayanagi.

With that, leaving behind Sakura, who had become dazed after he mentioned he could help her with tutoring, Nakano Yuu headed straight to the shopping district.

Then, he opened his contact list.

His lonely list of friends had gained one more entry.

And Nakano Yuu didn't waste any time.

Nakano Yuu: Classmate Kushida, are you free?

Kushida Kikyou: Um, has something happened, Nakano-kun?

Nakano Yuu: Actually, about this morning, sorry, I was just joking. But I think there are quite a few people in class who like you. When I said that, several guys were staring daggers at me.

Kushida Kikyou: Oh, I actually don't mind at all.

Nakano Yuu: Then I've taken a screenshot. You don't like those guys at all, do you?

Kushida Kikyou: ...

Kushida Kikyou: Has anyone ever told you that you can be quite mean sometimes, Nakano-kun?

Nakano Yuu: Does Classmate Kushida know Kamuro Masumi from Class A? I want you to help me ask her out. I'm at the shopping district right now.

Kushida Kikyou: Eh?

Nakano Yuu: I saw her by chance and fell in love at first sight.

And perhaps thinking that Kushida might not help him.

Therefore, Nakano Yuu added. Aside from her targeting Horikita Suzune, it was actually true that Kushida wanted to be friends with everyone; she loved the feeling of being trusted by others and having them tell her all their secrets.

So.

Nakano-kun used the tactic of catering to her interests.

Nakano Yuu: This is my secret, I hope you won't tell anyone else.

Then, he added a follow-up.

Nakano Yuu: Of course, if you run into any problems, I can help as well.

Kushida Kikyou: Oh! Since it's a secret, then it can't be helped. But, Kamuro-san? She is also at the shopping street right now. Do you need me to head over to the shopping street as well?

Is that so.

Then you are of no use.

Nakano Yuu then began to scan the various shops in the shopping street with his gaze, and quickly, he locked onto a specific individual.

ps: Brothers, I need the stats, brothers, the stats, the stats!

And a shout-out:

<Fontaine Grand Stage, Come If You Have the Life for It>

Synopsis: Luo Fan transmigrated into the Genshin Impact world and obtained the Fancy Death System.

As long as he dies in a sufficiently shocking way, he can earn massive amounts of points and exchange them for all sorts of good things.

Thus, for the sake of points, Luo Fan began his fancy deaths.

From dying while acting as a hero at the start, to later killing himself, he let the people of Fontaine witness countless shocking murder cases.

Having harvested more and more points, Luo Fan suddenly discovered a shortcut: every word and action of the Hydro Archon Furina was under the scrutiny of all the people of Fontaine.

"Lord Chief Justice, I want to accuse someone!"

Neuvillette: "Please state the target of your accusation."

"The Hydro Archon, Furina!"

Furina: "???"

Years later, the blonde traveler and her emergency food arrived in Fontaine, yet the moment they entered the borders of Fontaine, they were slapped with silver bracelets.

"This foreign traveler, you have been accused, please come with us."

Lumine: "???"

Paimon: "???"

Some time later, Lumine and Furina were singing "Tears of the Iron Window" together.

Chapter 017: Thief-san, you wouldn't want to be expelled, would you!

Class A, first year, Kamuro Masumi, female.

She is quite tall, with beautiful purple hair, regular features, and a top-tier appearance, but she is expressionless and seems uninterested in everything. It is as if she finds everything a bit repulsive.

She is much taller than Horikita Suzune, and her legs are long and powerful.

She should be someone with strong athletic talent.

Of course, such long legs are also very suitable for wearing white silk stockings, or black ones would work too.

However, in the original work, she had a bad habit of getting excited when stealing things, which Sakayanagi Arisu discovered and used as a threat to make her act like a dog. Even after the threat lost its effectiveness, she still served Sakayanagi wholeheartedly.

This shows that this person is a masochist.

She likes being driven and ordered around.

Of course, her later habits could be played with in other ways.

As for Nakano-kun, the moment he thought about how his ex-girlfriend, Sakayanagi-san, might bring him trouble, he naturally had to make some arrangements.

So, he decided to snatch away Sakayanagi-san's little dog first.

Of course, it wasn't about snatching her away directly, but rather needing her to become his mole first. If he didn't intervene, she would still become Sakayanagi's right-hand woman just like in the original work.

So, whatever Sakayanagi did, it wouldn't be hidden from her, and if it couldn't be hidden from Kamuro-san, then it wouldn't be hidden from Nakano-kun either.

Therefore, this was about planting a mole beside Sakayanagi Arisu first.

And consulting Kushida-san earlier was also to establish a connection with this Kamuro-san, but since Kamuro-san was right here, Kushida-san was indeed of no use.

Thus.

Having confirmed the target, Nakano-kun followed quickly.

The other party entered a convenience store, and he followed her in.

Kamuro-san went about alone, without any companions by her side, though she seemed very used to it.

It seems she is also a lone wolf.

However.

It wouldn't be simple for Nakano Yuu to catch her red-handed, because Kamuro-san also held the title of Phantom Thief Masumi, meaning she was actually skilled at stealing. She must be quick and undetectable, otherwise, she would have been caught the very first time she stole something.

So, some preparations are needed.

Just because he had run into Kamuro Masumi now didn't mean she would steal, or that she would steal right this instant.

Thinking this, he noticed that Kamuro's left hand was already resting on a row of chewing gum.

And with almost no discernible movement, the number of gum packs decreased by two.

Had she already started stealing?

No.

He saw Kamuro Masumi open her left hand and place the two packs of gum back onto the shelf.

It seemed it was just a feint.

While thinking this, Nakano Yuu picked up a water cup; the cup had a cat pattern on it, and Nakano remembered that Sakayanagi actually quite liked cute pets like cats.

If the school allowed it, Sakayanagi would probably really keep a cat.

As someone who preferred puppies, he really couldn't bring himself to like cats.

At this moment, Kamuro Masumi glanced back and noticed that the boy closest to her, Nakano Yuu, was just looking at a water cup.

"Sakayanagi might like this one," he seemed to be muttering to himself.

Sakayanagi, huh.

Upon hearing that name, Kamuro's brows furrowed slightly.
