Classroom of the Elite, It's Not About Meritocracy, It's About Me Ruling the World! 34

Even if Class A is full of model students, the gap shouldn't be that wide, right?

Forget it.

As long as Kijima Tsukur understands, the fact that graduating from Class A together is impossible in itself is enough.

It's just not realistic!

More importantly...

"Besides, even if we take a step back."

At this moment, Ryuen slightly raised his chin, his tone laced with mockery:

"Even if everything you said is true and your motives are pure, why do you think we would listen to you?"

"Compared to graduating from Class A together, I'd much rather tear you to pieces right now."

"Kijima Tsukur!"

Chapter 31: Everyone's Confusion, Saint Mary

I'm not listening, I'm not listening, it's all just noise.

Some people are here to graduate from Class A, some are here to enjoy school life, and naturally, some are here just for fun.

Even if he believed that everything said was true, Ryuen still wouldn't submit.

"Is that so?"

Kijima Tsukur didn't mind. He put away his Rubik's cube, took out his phone, and displayed his friend code in front of them:

"I said it before, right? All you need to do now is have the people in your classes save money, then add each other as friends. Do whatever else you like."

"Um..."

Hirata Yosuke looked a bit confused: "What does this mean?"

Whether it was the free information or the lack of any guarantee that they would agree to let Kijima Tsukur become the leader of the first years, he really couldn't understand this guy.

"It means this."

Kijima Tsukur pinched the sides of his phone, showing the screen to everyone:

"Whether you acknowledge me or not, or even if you decide to attack me, do as you please."

"Right now... what you need to do is exchange contact information with me."

"Or are you going to refuse even adding a friend? If you don't even have that much courage, that would truly make me a bit unhappy."

"..."

Ichinose and the others exchanged glances, then stepped forward one by one to exchange contact information with Kijima Tsukur, and incidentally added Katsuragi and the others as well.

Even Ryuen and Kaneda were no exception...

After all, no matter what happened in the future, they would inevitably need to communicate, and there was absolutely no reason to refuse adding a contact.

As for the rest, letting the people in their classes save money.

Regardless of how their classmates decided, they would at least pass on the message.

In the end, except for Ryuen, everyone else added each other's contact information to save face for the other party.

Yamamura Miki took out her phone and revealed an auntie-like smile.

Her contact list had suddenly grown by a whole row!

Ryuen, however, put his phone away, narrowed his eyes, and stared at Kijima Tsukur, continuing to press him:

"What exactly is your game?"

"Sigh."

Kijima Tsukur let out a sigh and swept a calm gaze over them:

"I think I've explained myself clearly enough. You can go back now."

"Hm?"

Ichinose and the others looked at each other, still not moving.

They really didn't understand...

"What exactly do you mean? Making the information public is your own problem; I have no intention of listening to you. What are you planning to do now?"

Ryuen's face was cold as he stepped forward, continuing to question him.

He didn't want points, nor did he want any benefits. In the end, it was just a mundane exchange of contact information, along with a request for them to tell their classmates to save money.

These were things they would have done naturally even if Kijima Tsukur hadn't said anything.

Ryuen couldn't read this man in front of him at all, which made him feel uneasy; he was desperate to know what this person was actually thinking.

"Hmm..."

Kijima Tsukur tapped his fingers against his head.

It wasn't that he didn't want to explain things, but rather that explaining would be useless; it was better to let them understand in a way they could actually grasp.

Kijima Tsukur stared straight into the eyes of Ryuen and the others.

"Whether you are willing or not, and no matter what you do, you will all eventually become my subordinates. This is destiny!"

"Destiny?"

Ryuen frowned, and Ichinose and the others looked at one another.

At this, even Katsuragi and his group couldn't help but press their hands to their foreheads.

What a headache...

Seeing the expressions on Katsuragi and the others, Ryuen and his group furrowed their brows even deeper.

Clearly, Kijima Tsukur must be like this in his own class too. Could this guy be a lunatic?

Is he just purely arrogant?

Does he think he can crush everything with his own strength?

Ridiculous!

Hearing such an explanation, Ryuen actually figured it out and let out a scoff.

"Forget it. I'll thank you for the information from Class A for now. I'll be sure to 'repay' you properly later."

Ryuen emphasized the word "repay" heavily; it was clearly not going to be anything good. After saying this, he left the rooftop directly without even greeting his own classmates.

"Albert, let's go."

Immediately after, Kaneda also scoffed and left the rooftop with Albert.

Idiots.

Ryuen is a fool too.

Who cares what these Class A people are thinking? Getting such free benefits without taking them would be a waste, so why are they still there yapping away?

Ichinose Honami and Hirata Yosuke exchanged a look.

"Um..." Ichinose Honami said in a probing tone, "Kijima-kun, shall we head out then?"

"Yeah."

"..."

As they spoke.

The six-person group from Class B and Class D walked toward the rooftop exit, stopping occasionally to look back.

They still couldn't believe it.

Someone had shared information with them while knowing full well that only those who graduate from Class A have a future, and he hadn't even asked for any compensation.

He's practically Mother Teresa!

The gazes of the group seemed to be asking: Are we really leaving now?

Until their figures disappeared from the rooftop, Kijima Tsukur did not speak, letting them leave as they pleased.

"So, are you satisfied now?"

Hashimoto Masayoshi said with some dissatisfaction, "The idea of everyone graduating from Class A together is simply impossible. No one is going to do as you say."

"Indeed."

Katsuragi agreed quite strongly with this point, "Kijima-kun, from now on, let's act with the class's priority as our policy."

"Hm? Do you two have some kind of misunderstanding?"

Kijima Tsukur glanced at them, "Isn't everything going exactly according to plan?"

"How is it?"

"Yamamura, answer them."

"Um..."

Only then did everyone remember that this person was there. Feeling the surrounding gazes, Yamamura Miki explained in a faint voice:

"Didn't Kijima say it? His goal was just to get the other classes to save money and then exchange contact information..."

That's a load of crap for a goal.

Hashimoto Masayoshi almost spat out his drink.

However, that was the reality. Kijima Tsukur would not ask them to do things beyond their capabilities, nor would he force anyone to do anything.

"Alright, we can go back now."

As he spoke.

Yamamura Miki habitually folded up the folding chair.

Everyone followed Kijima Tsukur as he prepared to leave the school, while Katsuragi still said with some helplessness:

"So, you still don't intend to change your mind?"

"That's right. Until I am certain that it is impossible for the entire first-year grade to graduate from Class A, my mind will not change."

Kijima Tsukur raised a hand and said without looking back:

"The same goes for you all. Whether you want to follow Sakayanagi, oppose me, or hedge your bets with other classes, that is all your freedom!"

"However, I personally advise you not to engage in such futile efforts, lest you waste your energy."

"Destiny will not change!"

"..."

The group exchanged glances.

Hashimoto Masayoshi scratched his hair, his head truly aching; it was the first time he had ever encountered someone like Kijima Tsukur.

Forget it.

Since Kijima Tsukur had said they were free, then he would just betray him openly.

Who would let a guy like that be the class leader?

Get lost already!

Although Katsuragi seemed to still be standing on Kijima Tsukur's side, he would go discuss with Sakayanagi tomorrow how to make Kijima Tsukur step down.

Furthermore, that guy named Ryuen seemed pretty decent; it might be worth communicating with him more.

Even without needing to guess, everyone could basically see that the guy named Kaneda was completely incompetent, and the leader of Class C was most likely Ryuen.
