I Won't Take a Single Penny? No, I've Already Made It! (Continued)

"So, Ryuen, what are your thoughts?"

"Even though you're all here, I think it's definitely better to sell base points to Class B."

"Nakano Yuu said."

Then his gaze fell on Ichinose Honami, the representative of Class B who had returned with Sudo.

The person from Class A was Katsuragi Kohei, and the person from Class C was Ryuuen, both of them came alone. However, five people came from Class B: Ichinose, a boy wearing glasses, and three other girls.

Shiranami Chihiro is not included.

Normally, these kinds of discussions or deliberations would involve class representatives, but Ichinose came as a group.

However, it seems her classmates were worried that something might be wrong and weren't entirely at ease, so they came along.

Ichinose, who was originally in the crowd, heard Nakano Yuu call out Class B's name. She looked up, her bright eyes and gentle smile immediately appearing. Combined with her elegant and beautiful appearance, Nakano Yu's heart skipped a beat when they met her gaze.

This could be considered his Ichinose.

But there were students around as well.

"Ah, Ichinose is so pretty, she smiled at me."

"No, it's aimed at me! I can't take it, I'm going to die..."

"Kushida is no match for her..."

This immediately caused the hearts of all the boys in Class D to race, and they all defected.

"..."

Kushida.?

No.

This scene feels somewhat familiar.

"Class B? Then you'll miss out on a huge amount of points."

However, Ryuen's unromantic voice rang out, "This time, Class A and I can still sweep all 300 base points."

"We can get out..."

Ryuuen looked towards Katsuragi.

"10 million points."

"That's what Katsuragi said."

"..."

Ryuuen.

Sure, actually Ryuuen wanted to scare Ichinose with 8 million. But Katsuragi's offer of 10 million wasn't unacceptable either, because if he sold it himself, he would directly ask Class A for 20 million points, since the two classes are still competing classes. If Class C spent their base points, it would reduce the chances of Class C Class A up.

Therefore, the price can be sold at a higher level.

Now, if 10 million points can be used to buy it, and then the two classes can split it equally, then his Class C would only need to pay 5 million points.

It's acceptable.

"Ten million?"

The students from Class D who had just been thinking how pretty Ichinose were now immediately captivated.

Points, points.

Ten million points!

Ten million!

Really?

Although he had just been scolded by Ryuuen, Hirata's face immediately lit up with excitement.

His gaze quickly fell on Nakano-kun.

Clearly, for him, this amount of 10 million was beyond his acceptable price range.

And not just him.

Upon hearing the price, "Ten million," the students from Class D all gathered around.

Ten million points! Divided equally among 40 students, each student would receive 250,000 points.

If you save a little, you can cover your living expenses for 10 months, almost a year.

"10 million, in the end--"

Then Nakano spoke up.

"You should vote."

However, Ryuuen interrupted him.

"Isn't this your Class D' s money? Isn't it foolish to only listen to Nakano Yuu?"

"Similarly, if you sell to Class B, then Class A and I won't contribute a single penny."

"Ichinose-- "

The students from Class B who followed them saw through Ryuuen's intention: to completely isolate Class B.

"Ryuen, your actions are far too domineering."

Ichinose, of course, recognized Ryuuen's intentions.

1. Ryuuen and Katsuragi offered a surprisingly low price.

This was enough to shake the psychological bottom line of the students in Class D.

2. Ryuuen directly instigated the students in Class D, hoping to get things done quickly. This was also to avoid Nakano from Class D, as he didn't want Nakano to continue interfering and driving up the price.

3. They ostracized Class B. This time, Classes A and C have truly become allies.

"This is a school that prioritizes merit."

Ryuuen said.

"And since your Class B can't contribute any points, you're not competitive and can only accept this unfair situation."

"Or do you mean Ichinose, you can come up with 10 million points?"

"Haha, I'm not kidding, if your class really had 20 million, you'd definitely spend it to protect students who wanted to drop out, not use it to promote someone to a higher class."

Ryuuen said.

"So you definitely can't come up with 10 million. You're not competitive!"

"Ryuuen!"

This statement clearly struck a nerve with the students in Class B.

The students in Class B are an anomaly in this school; they are very gentle, and the atmosphere is united and cohesive, like little angels.

The class's strength lies in its cohesion, but this cohesion is also its weakness. It's too united and too focused on its classmates, so if someone were to drop out, it would likely fall apart. Even if points are saved, they would be used first to exempt classmates from expulsion.

Upon hearing this, Katsuragi glanced at Ichinose with a hint of regret.

Although Ichinose and her friends are in Class B, and seem to be the most capable of competing with Class A, if they can't even bring themselves to abandon a single classmate, then this class probably can't possibly be their match.

If things remain stable this time, then Class B will no longer be Class B; instead, it will drop in rankings.

"And you shouldn't be asking for a higher price anymore; 10 million is already a very high amount."

Katsuragi keenly sensed that Ryuuen also wanted Nakano to shut up. He also knew how terrifying Nakano Yuu was. If this guy opened his mouth, the price of 10 million would definitely be more than enough. So he continued to speak to the people of Class D.

"You should know this is just a test, and then you can get 10 million points for nothing."

"Once you've used up your base points, you can return to the ship. After all, negative scores won't be allowed; this is a restriction imposed by the school on this exam."

"And for you, it's an opportunity to get back on the ship."

Katsuragi said.

"And physical discomfort can be easily treated; just keep starving for a day, then you can become slightly dehydrated and return to the ship under the pretext of treatment."

"So that makes sense..."

"And ten million!"

"Each person can get 250,000 yuan. If we're careful with our money, it can last us a year."

"I think I can use it up in six months."

"But that's 250,000!"

Class D suddenly became noisy, because the students in this class... at least for now, had never seen what 10 million looked like.

Now you can get it with just one exam.

"..."

Nakano Yuu.

Um.

Whether it's the inherently evil Ryuuen or the seemingly upright Katsuragi, both of them are truly shameless.

Nakano then crossed his arms and watched Katsuragi and Ryuuen's performance.

Chabashira-sensei stayed. Partly because Class D hadn't yet chosen a leader or made leader cards, so she still had work to do.

On the other hand, she also wanted to see what Nakano Yuu was up to.

Now his behavior has become even stranger.

Because.

The class has already raised 10 million points, but he hasn't done anything about it.

You see, he was driving the class to sell points, and now people are actually buying them, but he hasn't done it.

Indeed, 10 million points is a lot, but how many will Nakano Yuu get? If it's divided equally, he'll only get 250,000 points. And now, if he doesn't say anything, it will only be divided equally, and he won't get any extra points.

"Of course, I can personally add another 2 million points."

However, just when everyone thought Ryuuen was trying to lower the price, Ryuuen itself raised the price.

All I heard him say was...

"It doesn't matter if your base score is reduced to zero. You've already gotten your share of the benefits."

"But your class still has one point that can be sold."

Ryuuen said.

What is it?

Hirata looked at Ryuuen strangely.

If they could negotiate a direct transfer of 10 million points, he felt everyone would have already benefited from this exam and wouldn't lack living expenses for the rest of their first year.

"Naturally, it's the guessing game for the opposing class's leader. If you guess the opposing class's leader correctly at the end of the exam, you get an extra 50 points."

Ryuuen said.

"And now, Nakano Yuu, I appoint you as the leader of Class D!"

Nani?

In other words, even the part about guessing the team leader can be sold?

Yes.

Yes, it can be sold.

Although 50 points will be deducted if the team leader's information is guessed correctly, if Class D' s 300 base points are used up at the beginning and become 0 points, then it will still be 0 points.

Therefore, it has no impact on Class D.

However, for other classes, this would mean an extra 50 points.

According to the rules, you can get an extra 50 points.

Therefore, Ryuuen is willing to pay an additional 2 million points for this.

"I don't want to."
