Classroom of the Elite, It's Not About Meritocracy, It's About Me Ruling the World! 33

It was as if...

Everything happening before his eyes was merely a falling leaf drifting in the wind to Kijima Tsukur, unworthy of a second thought.

That's right.

In that moment, Ryuen Kakeru had already observed everyone.

Initially, Ryuen had judged that this guy Kijima Tsukur was either slower to react than the others or just a dull-witted fool with a poker face.

However, what he hadn't expected was that, Kijima Tsukur had not only detected his intentions but had even guessed his motives!

Although he didn't yet know what was different about this school, he, Ryuen, had been the boss of an entire school district back in middle school!

Now, He naturally intended to dominate this school as well!

And he certainly wouldn't allow an existence like Kijima Tsukur!

"What?"

Kaneda Satoru and the others in the distance were also somewhat dumbfounded.

Had Ryuen Kakeru really considered all of that in just that brief moment?

Katsuragi and Ichinose Honami also furrowed their brows slightly, sensing that this Ryuen was not as hot-headed as he appeared.

On the other side.

"Heh..."

Ryuen finally answered the previous question, casting a sneering glance at Ichinose Honami and the others:

"I have no interest in these little lambs, but..."

As he spoke, Ryuen shoved his hands into his pockets, leaned forward, and brought his face close to Kijima Tsukur, his gaze locking onto him like a viper.

However, Kijima Tsukur seemed to be looking at nothing but empty air, his eyes not even focusing.

The corners of Ryuen's mouth curled up slightly:

"I've decided. You are the one I'm going to tear apart!"

"Suit yourself."

Kijima Tsukur leaned back in his chair, no longer paying attention to the man before him, and moved on to the main topic with a calm expression:

"I've brought you all here for six reasons."

"First, to share some information regarding this school."

"To begin with, points are divided into Class Points and Private Points, with a ratio of 1 to 100. Class Points determine the class rankings."

"Secondly, only those who graduate from Class A are granted the opportunity to choose their own career paths freely."

"Additionally, the school holds special exams at irregular intervals, and some of these exams may result in students being expelled."

"Finally, 20 million Private Points can be used to cancel an expulsion penalty or to purchase the opportunity to transfer classes."

It's over...

Hashimoto Masayoshi and the others felt a genuine bitterness in their hearts.

Only now did they believe that Kijima Tsukur had truly shared this information without holding anything back; it was too late to regret it now.

However, thinking about it carefully.

They hadn't had any way to stop him in the first place, so there was no point in regretting it.

Ichinose Honami, Kanzaki Ryuji, Shibata Sou, Hirata Yosuke, Kikyo Kushida, Karuizawa Kei, Ryuen Kakeru, Kaneda Satoru, and Albert.

At this moment, Everyone present was completely bewildered.

Whether it was the cheerful, gentle, and kind Ichinose Honami, or the despicable and violent Ryuen Kakeru, they were all staring at the man sitting in the chair with faces full of shock.

However.

Before they could clear their thoughts, They saw Kijima Tsukur hold up a second finger:

"Second, based on our deductions in Class A, we are currently undergoing a special exam. The content of the exam is likely related to behavioral habits such as classroom discipline, which will probably affect next month's Class Points and Private Points."

"Third, my goal is for everyone in the first year to obtain the opportunity to realize their wishes and choose their careers freely. Some people might be expelled along the way, but those who remain will certainly be granted such an opportunity!"

"Fourth, from this moment on, I will rule over the entire first year."

"Fifth, notify the people in your respective classes that from now on, aside from necessary living expenses and a certain amount for entertainment, you are to save as many Private Points as possible!"

"Sixth, everyone present will exchange contact information."

Silence.

Everyone present fell silent.

In this prolonged silence, everyone was processing the information they had just received; it was truly hard to believe.

Whether this intelligence was true or false, their minds were in complete chaos.

It wasn't until several minutes later.

"You're still holding back some information, aren't you?"

Ryuen's already narrowed eyes squinted even further.

That was his immediate reaction.

After all, several points in Kijima Tsukur's intelligence were completely contradictory...

Like the claim that only by graduating from Class A could one have the freedom to choose their career, with the goal being for everyone to graduate from Class A.

Even with the rule about transferring classes for 20 million private points.

Three classes!

That would require at least 2.4 billion private points!

If it were just 800 million points, there might be a sliver of possibility, but 2.4 billion private points was an absolute impossibility.

Therefore, Ryuen did not believe it at all, Unless Kijima Tsukur was still withholding other information, and only with that piece of information would it be possible for the entire grade to graduate from Class A.

"This is everything I know."

No one believes the truth anyway, and Kijima Tsukur didn't mind: "Perhaps, you all know a little more than I do by now?"

"Wait a minute."

Ichinose also regained her composure, asking with some confusion:

"Kijima-kun, are you certain that only by graduating from Class A can one have the opportunity to realize their wishes?"

"Yes."

"Setting other things aside for a moment, is your goal to ensure everyone has the freedom to choose their career?"

"Yes!"

"This..."

Ichinose Honami exchanged glances with Kanzaki Ryuji and the others.

They had initially thought Kijima Tsukur might have lost his mind, but now it seemed he truly believed this?

Ichinose Honami reminded him with some hesitation:

"Um... Kijima-kun, based on what you just said, do you know how many private points it would take to get three classes to graduate from Class A?"

"2.4 billion."

Kijima Tsukur explained indifferently: "I know what you want to say, no need to ask. I decided to do this with a full understanding of everything."

"Then..."

Hirata and the others exchanged glances, looking worried: "Kijima-kun, what kind of compensation should we offer?"

"None."

"Hm?"

"Didn't you hear me? You don't need to pay any price."

Kijima Tsukur played with his Rubik's cube, saying casually: "All you need to do now is have your classmates save money and exchange contact information!"

"..."

Once these words were spoken.

Ichinose, Hirata, and even the highly suspicious Ryuen were truly shaken.

No private points!

No compensation of any kind!

Could the intelligence be fake?

This information would at most help them maintain discipline; there were only benefits and no drawbacks, so there was no need to release false information.

There was absolutely no profit to be made...

Was it really to help everyone graduate from Class A, to have everyone save their points? It still felt hard to believe, and fundamentally impossible to trust.

From the moment the school stipulated that only graduating from Class A granted special privileges.

The four classes could only be in a hostile relationship!

Even if some people could transfer classes using private points, that would only be a small minority; the relationship between the classes should be absolutely unchangeable!

"Huh?"

After a long moment, Ryuen considered a possibility, narrowing his eyes with a mocking sneer:

"Are you trying to play the saint to rule over the entire first year, and then use that opportunity to pull ahead of the other classes?"

"..."

As soon as those words were spoken.

Ichinose Honami, Hirata Yosuke, and the others exchanged glances.

Although it wasn't right to judge others with malice, especially after receiving so much information from Kijima Tsukur for free.

But...

When you have eliminated all impossible facts, then whatever remains, no matter how incredible, must be the truth!

Ryuen's speculation was the only possibility.

Kijima Tsukur wanted to use this opportunity to gain everyone's trust, occupy a leadership position in the first year, and then suddenly betray them during a special exam to secure a total victory!

Neither Ichinose nor Hirata spoke; it was clear that even these two good-natured people tacitly agreed with Ryuen's assessment.

Katsuragi and Hashimoto Masayoshi looked at each other.

The two of them felt truly helpless.

That was the reality of the situation; it wasn't easy to be a good person, and they had ended up revealing so much information to the other classes for nothing.

If they hadn't made this information public.

They might have been able to create a massive gap between themselves and the other classes from the very beginning.

Now... it was all up in the air...
