Classes A and C's Bidding War Leaves Classes B and D Stunned for a Whole Year! (Continued)
"Katsuragi. His camera and binoculars were borrowed last night!"
"They've all been borrowed!"
The students from Class A, whom Katsuragi had sent to borrow binoculars and cameras, rushed back, with Katsuragi's underling leading the way.
"So, can we talk about it now?"
"Nakano Yuu said."
"Katsuragi, how many points do you have now? How many can you collect from the students in Class A?"
"..."
Katsuragi.
What does this mean?
Katsuragi's younger Totsuka, had just run back when he overheard Nakano asking his older brother for money.
"Can you guarantee that you'll only let our class have the camera and binoculars?"
But Katsuragi said with some difficulty.
He already knew that the initial advantage was gone, so all he could do was minimize the losses. That's why he wanted to take over the batch of cameras and binoculars from Nakano Yuu.
"I can give you everything I have, but I want to keep a pair of binoculars to sell to Ryuen. Ryuen just collected protection money this month, and I haven't taken it yet."
"Nakano Yuu said."
"..."?
Ryuuen.
No.
Day.
Ryuen Kakeru has also appeared on the Banjo. His men noticed the hurried movements of the Class A students and realized that something was wrong, so he came to the deck.
As soon as they arrived on the deck, they heard that bastard Nakano Yuu saying some disgusting things again.
Didn't we look down on his protection money yesterday?
So, are they just going to start robbing us today?
"Excuse me, what happened?"
At this moment, students from Class B and Class D finally arrived. However, these students had no idea what was happening and were very curious.
"One price, 1 million points."
Katsuragi quickly replied that he had also seen Ryuuen arrive, so he didn't want to delay. Now that even students from Class B had come, if everyone knew, how could he gain the upper hand?
If Class C's Ryuuen adopts a bidding mode, then he will only have to pay more points.
Therefore, Katsuragi acted very decisively and offered a surprising price of 1 million.
The reason I say this is that after he announced the price, the surrounding students stared at him in shock. Clearly, the price exceeded everyone's understanding of points.
After all, everyone's monthly income is only around 100,000 yen. They would definitely be surprised by Katsuragi's casual decision to set a figure of 1 million yen.
"1.2 million!"
However, at this moment, another price was quoted.
It turned out that Ryuuen had already noticed Katsuragi's strange behavior.
The way Katsuragi was facing Nakano Yuu now felt incredibly familiar to him.
This is clearly Matoba you can buy first-hand information or methods for passing exams!
Like Katsuragi, he also felt that the school couldn't possibly be that kind; they must have pulled them out to take the exam.
He also had a plan. For exams where the questions were unknown, he would lay some groundwork beforehand. For example, he would deliberately act like he was controlling the class, just to make other classes see how excessive he was, and then they would naturally assume that there must be some rebellious elements in his class. Then, he would use a self-inflicted injury ruse to argue with the selected rebellious elements in public, so that these rebellious elements could act as spies and infiltrate other classes.
Therefore, this was a personnel arrangement made in advance by Ryuuen.
After all, this time all the first-year students are traveling together and staying in the same place. So the other students can't really confirm the interpersonal relationships in Class C yet, which means they can wage an intelligence war.
Result.
Damn it.
He had a wonderful plan; he even intended to wait until more students from other classes came out this morning, and then start a self-inflicted injury ploy in front of everyone, deliberately arranging for Ibuki or Kaneda to rebel against him. But...
The exams are already about to start?!
At the very least, he believed that Katsuragi's composure meant he wouldn't easily set a price, so had the exam already begun?
"Nakano Yuu, with 100,000 points, what's the test this time?"
After Ryuuen revealed its price of 1.2 million, it quickly added.
He truly lives up to his nickname, the Dragon Boy.
Obtain intelligence directly and swiftly.
He also knew very well that Nakano Yuu was greedy for money, so he could get the information that Katsuragi already knew by paying him.
"You can earn this money."
Nakano Yuu gently patted Karuizawa on the shoulder and then said to Karuizawa.
Huh?
It should be said that Karuizawa knew that Nakano Yuu had bought her the position of Public Morals Committee Member, and that it cost a full 300,000 yen. Although he said that he did not pay for it, he would pay for it if no one else did.
Whether it was Nakano Yuu's statement, Katsuragi's foresight, or Ryuuen's direct offer, they all made her feel that these people were really impressive. They were all worthy of being representatives of their respective classes, and even their casual actions were extraordinary.
Result.
Now she can actually get a share of the profits?
She also knew what information Ryuen wanted—information she'd overheard while spending time with Nakano Yuu. And now, was Nakano-san asking her to earn that money?
"Actually, the exam is about to start, and the questions are related to that little island over there."
Karuizawa said.
"Then, before the exam questions were announced, the students in Class A wanted to get information about the island, but it was too far away, so they needed a camera and binoculars."
"So that's how it is."
Ryuuen understood. So Nakano Yuu must have discovered this long ago and preemptively bought up all the cameras and binoculars on the ship before Katsuragi could!
The school paid for it, so we didn't have to spend a penny on renting the ship.
"..."
Katsuragi.
Katsuragi was about to raise his hand to stop Karuizawa from releasing the information, but unfortunately, she had already said it.
He thought this exam would give him a head start, but now Ryuuen has found out anyway.
"You actually knew the exam was coming, so you started robbing people!"
Ryuuen quickly responded.
"It's... an exam!"
Upon hearing this news, the students from Class B who were passing by immediately began running towards the ship's cabin.
Clearly, this was to be reported to Ichinose Honami, the class representative of Class B.
Thanks to Ryuen for contributing 100,000 points, which allowed students in other classes to also know that the exam was coming up soon.
"1.5 million points."
Katsuragi said.
"Give the cameras and binoculars to our Class A."
Now, Katsuragi can do is raise the price and buy everything. Even if Ryuuen finds out about the exam, it won't help; they can only watch helplessly as the island in the distance recedes.
Therefore, the initiative still lies with him.
"Two million points."
However, Ryuuen said...
"I choose to split the money equally with Class A, and also split the camera and binoculars equally."
What does this mean?
Katsuragi seemed somewhat puzzled.
He wanted to reserve all the cameras and binoculars to prevent students from other classes from getting an advantage.
But Ryuuen chose to share with their class?
"You don't understand Nakano Yuu."
However, Ryuuen said.
"I can contribute 1 million now, and you Katsuragi, also contribute 1 million. The camera and binoculars will be provided by the students of our two classes."
"If we continue bidding, then the students from Class B will be here soon."
"While I think Ichinose from Class B might not be as decisive as us, it's still possible she'll join in the bidding."
Ryuuen said.
"Right, Nakano Yuu? You're waiting for the students from Class B to come over so that the three classes can bid against each other. I advise you to give up on that idea. It's impossible for all three classes to bid against you at the same time. At most, Katsuragi and I won't buy it, so you won't make a single penny."
It's clear that Nakano-kun knows Ryuen -kun very well.
"..."
"Since you've put it that way, then consider it a discount for our loyal customers."
Nakano shrugged.
"A flat price of 2.4 million. I'll give you the rented camera and binoculars; you can distribute them as you see fit."
"And I won't sell it to any other class."
If it's another class, then it would be Class B or Class D.
However, both Ryuuen and Katsuragi knew that Nakano Yuu had no feelings for Class D, so the other class must be Class B.
The evaluation scores of Class A and Class B differed by only a little over 100 points, while the evaluation scores of Class C and Class B differed by 200 points. If Ryuuen wanted to be promoted to Class A, it would first have to crush Class B. Class A, of course, would also want to maintain its position and therefore would not want to give Class B a chance.
So, should we either stay in this stalemate and involve Class B, or choose to eliminate Class B together?
In this way.
Even though the exam results came out last month, Ryuuen approached Katsuragi, the two classes were still at odds, but now they seem to be shaking hands and making peace.
"Bought it!" X2.
The two quickly chose how to pay.
Since the two weren't stupid, and since Nakano Yuu said the ship had been circling the island since last night, didn't that mean there was a very good chance of an exam today?
Therefore, it's essential to seize the opportunity and gather information before the exam even begins.
"Exam? What exam!"
"Didn't you come here on vacation?"
The other students in Class D arrived late, because some of them had overheard Karuizawa saying there would be an exam and came over nervously.
Thanks to Ryuen for purchasing this message with 100,000 points.
It was only 8:15, but most of the students had already gathered on the Banjo.
But.
"Ding! Your private account has received 1,200,000 Private Points. Transferr: Katsuragi Kohei GCH1035003. Current balance: 1,210,000 Private Points."
"Ding! Your private account has received 1,200,000 Private Points. Transferr: Ryuen Kakeru LYX1035493. Current balance: 2,410,000 Private Points."
Holy crap?
Nakano-kun, isn't that right?
How did you become a millionaire?!
