Ichinose: "Ryuen, That's a Great Idea, but Class A Has Plans Too!"
"Nakano Yuu said."
"Is that so?"
Meanwhile, Katsuragi was looking at the data that Nakano Yuu and the others had specially marked for them.
Seeded players: Kouenji Rokusuke, Ken Sudō, Onodera, Kushida Kikyou, Horikita Suzune, Hirata Yousuke, Matsushita Chiaki.
Ordinary students: Wang Meiyu, Karuizawa Megumi, Sato Maya, Maezono (Hashimoto's girlfriend with below-average looks), Hondo Ryotaro (one of the passersby who is preparing to drop out of school).
Cannon Fodder Group: Nakano Yuu, Yamauchi Haruki, Kanji Ike, Sotomura, Sakura Airi, Yukimura Teruhiko, Sotomura Hideo, Shinohara Satsuki.
It is indeed completely categorized, and almost all those with names have been filled in.
"But."
Katsuragi's gaze then fell on Nakano Yuu.
Is your physical fitness really that bad?
Clearly, he saw that Nakano Yuu's name was on the list of cannon fodder. And she was the first one on it, which was quite unexpected.
Do you think that if God opens a door for someone, He will also open a window for them?
"I asked back, "Nakano Yuu countered.
Katsuragi- kun was clearly aware that Nakano Yuu had achieved the highest score in Class D on the entrance exam.
It's possible to study so hard and then neglect physical activity.
After all, he usually spends a lot of time with girls, so there's no indication that he has time to exercise.
"So, do you have any other news regarding this exam?"
Katsuragi continued to question.
How much money do you want to spend?
Nakano looked at him.
"..."
Katsuragi.
"Why are you asking for money again!"
Upon hearing what Nakano-kun said, Katsuragi's underlings immediately became anxious.
Because when Katsuragi was in charge of the class, the 1 million yen that Nakano Yuu sold to Katsuragi for the position of secretary of the Student Council was raised by the Katsuragi Faction. Then, Island Exam, the whole class raised money to buy supplies for Class D. Even now, until graduation, they still need to give Nakano Yuu 400,000 yen every month.
Did he still want the money?
So, does Class B even have any dignity left? They might as well just become ATMs.
"It seems you lack tolerance."
"Nakano Yuu said."
"..."
Unlike his eager follower, Katsuragi silently pursed his lips before asking, "If I want to ensure victory in the exam and for my class to return to Class A, how much do I need?"
Clearly, Katsuragi remembered why he and Ryuuen had lost the Island Exam.
It's because they didn't pay enough, so Nakano Yuu Ichinose.
And Ichinose were indeed formidable, ultimately earning 20 million points.
Although it's an installment payment plan, it shows their determination.
How much do you need?
Nakano Yuu smiled slightly.
"Would you agree to a price of 20 million? Or, would your class be able to accept it?"
"20 million means new debt."
"..."
Katsuragi.
It is indeed new debt, and 20 million is enough to transfer students to another class or avoid expulsion, which is very important.
If the 20 million is divided equally among all students in the class, then each student would have to contribute 500,000 points.
The current evaluation score for Class B is 1166 points, which is equivalent to an income of 110,000 for each person.
However, both his faction and Sakayanagi's faction would allocate a portion of their funds as tribute to their leader.
Even if Katsuragi himself didn't need those points at all, it was still impossible for him to raise 20 million yen in a short period of time.
Of course, installment payments are an option, but that would mean the entire class would be in debt. Did he really want the students of the Katsuragi Faction who supported him to also be so indebted?
He hesitated.
"The price is indeed too high."
Katsuragi said.
"If it were 10 million, then perhaps we could accept it."
As he said this, he noticed that Nakano's expression did not change.
"Is 10 million too little?"
Katsuragi, observing Nakano's expression, continued.
"Your offer was too low. Your target price is 5 million."
"Nakano Yuu said."
"Because you believe you can win this exam."
"So there's no need to spend money for now. And 5 million is your target price. If you want to play it safe, you can accept it."
"The reason you're asking me this is actually to put your mind at ease. The fewer points I give, the more stable the White Group will be in this exam."
"Nakano Yuu said."
"Hehe."
At this moment, Katsuragi Kohei burst out laughing.
Because his plan was exposed.
He was indeed testing Nakano Yuu to play it safe. If Nakano Yuu offered a low price, it would mean that Nakano Yuu had very few steps to take and therefore couldn't collect much money.
But now it seems that Nakano must have seen through his probing, which is why he deliberately revealed a price of 20 million.
He was startled when he heard the other party mention a price of 20 million, thinking that something unexpected might happen during the exam, so Nakano Yuu needed to do some important patching work.
It turns out I was just scaring myself.
"That's quite interesting, Nakano-kun."
"You are indeed very smart. If your goal is Class A, then perhaps your class will not be inferior to Ryuuen and their achievements."
Katsuragi said.
But I also thought to myself, thankfully this guy really didn't lead the class to push for the top spot.
However, even if they wanted to lead Class D, it's hopeless now, since they got a zero.
Snort.
Nakano looked at Katsuragi politely. Clearly, what Katsuragi considered safe was not actually safe. 1. Kouenji Rokusuke actually forfeited, but when Katsuragi estimated the total score of Class D, he also regarded Koenji as a monster-like fighting force like Sudo.
However, Koenji's score will be 0, so this result is a loophole in Katsuragi's "sure to win" idea.
On the other side...
One student went to the Student Council alone.
And.
"I want 20 million points, otherwise Class C will forfeit."
This person arrived at the Student Council and, upon discovering the class representatives of Class 3-A and Class 2-A, as well as the class representative of Class 2-B (who are also the President and vice President), immediately said this.
"..."
It's fair to say that the student's sudden appearance, coupled with his rudeness and even his direct demand for points, caused everyone present to frown.
"Ryuuen, what do you mean by this?"
Nagumo immediately replied.
109
Chapter 109 Ichinose: Ryuuen, your idea is good, but Class A has its own ideas too!
[I need 20 million points, otherwise Class C will forfeit.]
A first-year student came to the Student Council and immediately started attacking the upperclassmen—or rather, demanding points.
And it's 20 million points!
"Ryuuen, what do you mean by this?"
Nagumo immediately replied.
Normally, Nagumo would maintain his politeness and elegance, but now, he didn't even address Ryuuen as a junior anymore.
"It means very simple."
Ryuuen said.
"I'm here to demand a kickback for this exam."
"..."×N.
The room fell silent instantly.
Horikita Manabu had already noticed Ryuuen, but he remained silent.
"Isn't this a bit too much?"
Meanwhile, Tachibana Akane, the secretary standing next to Horikita Manabu, was clearly shocked by Ryuuen's words.
How could anyone be so arrogant?
It was already quite surprising that a freshman from Class 1-D, Nakano Yuu, came to the Student Council last time, but that freshman wouldn't have robbed them like Ryuuen did.
I wasn't talking to you.
However, he said it without any politeness.
"You!"
Secretary Tachibana Akane was a little angry, but she couldn't bring herself to say anything offensive due to her politeness and upbringing.
She seemed a little weak-willed.
"If that's your attitude, then we have no choice but to ask you to leave."
Horikita Manabu finally spoke, his expression cold, "And now, are you sure you don't want to organize your thoughts?"
"..."
Ryuuen shifted his gaze from Nagumo to Horikita Manabu.
Horikita Manabu had a blank expression, yet he exuded an air of authority, clearly indicating that he was not an ordinary Student Council President elected from an ordinary school.
Ryuuen also took a deep breath.
Facing this boy who stood at the pinnacle of the student body, he didn't feel the same fear as the average student. After all, once Horikita Manabu resigned and graduated, the other party wouldn't be able to influence him. As for the Student Council President, he could try to get the position himself if given the chance. So Ryuuen remained completely unmoved. But for now, the other party was still the Student Council President of the school.
They definitely have more permissions.
"Yes."
At this moment, Miyabi Nagumo added.
"If you become too unruly and stubborn, the Student Council will take action against you."
"From attitude to behavior, there will be corresponding punishments, perhaps including suspension from school and being forced to reflect on one's actions."
