Damn it, a god of civil war...
However.
Hirata Yosuke and Kiyotaka Ayanokoji secretly frowned.
They also wanted this kind of communication skill.
Setting aside whether they could make Sudo and the others obedient, at the very least, they wanted to master the technique of communicating with them.
And the fact that Kijima Tsukur could master the communication skills with Sudo and the others in such a short time was enough to prove his high level of competence.
However.
Neither Hirata Yosuke nor Kiyotaka Ayanokoji would ever be able to master this technique.
Because, The two of them could never truly respect Yamauchi Haruki and the others from the bottom of their hearts.
What Kijima Tsukur was actually using was a gambling technique—
Self-deception.
A top-tier deception skill!
At the gambling table, No matter what kind of customer it was, They could feel right at home in the casino, as if they had met their closest family members.
At this moment.
Even Sudo Ken and the others could feel that they were being treated with great respect.
Simple conversational skills, Even Kiyotaka Ayanokoji could manage that, But his micro-expressions and the fluctuations in his tone could not make people feel respected.
This was also the reason why it was difficult for him to be genuinely accepted by Yamauchi Haruki and the others.
The Three Idiots could become friends, yet Kiyotaka Ayanokoji found it difficult to integrate; human intuition is a very sensitive weapon!
However, at this moment.
Yamauchi Haruki and the others looked at Kijima Tsukur as if they were looking at family!
Chapter 44: Horikita Suzune's Counterattack
"The content of the deal is very simple."
Sensing the slightly dissatisfied gazes of Yamauchi Haruki and the others, Kijima Tsukur continued to keep them in suspense:
"As long as you can agree to one condition, I can give you ten to thirty thousand private points every month."
"Eh?"
As soon as these words were spoken.
Quite a few people in Class D were stunned.
One had to know that there were many people in Class D who were short on private points.
Although Hirata Yosuke had told them the truth on the third day, many people were still skeptical or held onto wishful thinking.
In fact, There were many people like Yamauchi Haruki who had spent more than half of their private points in the first three days.
"Um... Kijima-kun."
A brown-haired girl stood up, the way she addressed him immediately closing the distance between them, her voice exceptionally sweet:
"Are you saying you can lend us private points?"
"What's the condition?"
Yamauchi Haruki looked excited.
It was clear how desperate these people were right now.
As early as the end of April, they had already reached the point where they could only eat wild vegetable sets, flavored by hundred-yen juice.
"It's not a loan, it's free of charge."
Kijima Tsukur raised his hand, took a stack of A4 paper from Yamamura Miki, and smiled at the girl:
"As long as you sign this contract, I will give you ten to thirty thousand private points every month."
"As for the content, simply put."
"It means that the private points you receive from the school every month will be transferred to me, and then I will redistribute them."
"Huh?"
As soon as these words were spoken.
Yamauchi Haruki and the others couldn't sit still either, looking somewhat dumbfounded as they said:
"On what grounds? Why should we transfer our private points to you? We wouldn't get any benefits at all."
"Exactly, exactly~"
"Isn't this just taking our money and giving it back to us? It's a total empty-handed scheme, we don't gain a single thing."
"Are you treating us like idiots!?"
Ike Kanji and the others looked displeased; they weren't stupid, so how could they possibly agree to such terms?
"How could that be? Of course I know that the difficulty of trying to deceive you all is not exactly low."
With that one sentence, Yamauchi Haruki and the others immediately quieted down, puffing out their chests in triumph as Kijima Tsukur smiled and explained:
"What I mean is, regardless of whether Class D's class points are zero or one thousand, I will give you ten thousand to thirty thousand private points every month. If your class points remain below three hundred, I will continue to send you money."
"Hm?"
Upon hearing this.
Yamauchi Haruki and several girls were instantly stunned.
Right now, Class D's class points were exactly zero, and they might even stay at that level for several months to come.
Does this mean, they could get thirty thousand private points for free right now without paying any price?
"Wait a second, wait a second..."
Just then, Ike Kanji said with a look of vigilance:
"Everyone, don't be fooled by him. Just like a salary, this guy says ten thousand to thirty thousand private points, but when the time comes, he'll only give the minimum amount. He won't give us any thirty thousand private points."
"..."
Cold sweat streamed down Yamauchi Haruki and the others; they had almost been tricked. Looking at Kijima Tsukur, they said:
"I... I certainly knew that. Don't think you can fool us with such cheap tricks, you guy."
"That's a misunderstanding."
Kijima Tsukur shook his head with a helpless expression:
"I just don't want you all to slack off because of these free private points. As long as you attend school normally and participate in exams, I can guarantee that the monthly private points will be the maximum of thirty thousand. This can be written into a contract, and it wouldn't matter if we handed it over to your homeroom teacher for judgment."
"Hm?"
Hearing his words, Yamauchi Haruki and Ike Kanji exchanged glances, and were suddenly somewhat swayed...
This... isn't this a bit too good?
Regardless of the class points, without having to do anything, just by attending school normally, they would get thirty thousand private points every month.
Having had one hundred thousand private points before, this thirty thousand didn't feel like that much.
But now that the class points were zero, at least this was much better than 0 points, right?
He was even willing to hand over the arbitration rights to their Class D homeroom teacher.
For every step they took forward, Kijima Tsukur took a step back.
It even made them feel as if they were truly judging a gentleman with the heart of a villain...
"Um..."
At this moment, the brown-haired girl raised her hand and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear:
"My name is Sato Maya. Kijima-kun, we aren't doubting you, it's just... why are you being so good to us?"
"Didn't Hirata tell you?"
Kijima Tsukur flashed a smile as refreshing as a spring breeze: "My goal is for everyone to graduate from Class A together. Helping each other is only natural."
An angel!
Class D had the little angel Kushida, Class B had the great angel Ichinose, And Class A actually had one too? Michael!
Whether they believed it in their hearts or not, the benefits were something they had to take.
"I have no objections."
"I agree as well."
"This is really timely. I used up all my points last month, and I'm in a huge crisis right now."
In an instant, Sato Maya, Yamauchi Haruki, and the others were all somewhat excited, expressing their willingness to sign the contract one after another. If there were points to be had, it would be foolish not to take them.
On the other side.
Kiyotaka Ayanokoji glanced at Horikita Suzune beside him with an expressionless face.
He wondered if she had already realized it.
Once someone agreed to this contract, it would practically signal that rising to Class A was impossible, signifying a collective defeat.
Fortunately, Horikita Suzune had caught on.
"Sigh... this is truly unbelievable."
Just then, a sigh rang out, and Horikita Suzune cast a glance at Sato Maya and the others:
"Are you all a bunch of idiots?"
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Sudo immediately felt dissatisfied and glared at her: "Horikita, what do you mean by that? Are you looking down on us?"
"I don't mean to look down on you; it's just that your stupidity is a fact."
With an expression that suggested she was simply stating the truth, Horikita Suzune turned her head to look at Kijima Tsukur:
"If you just use your brains, you'll know that it's impossible for anyone to give you private points for no reason."
As she spoke, Horikita Suzune stood up, her cold, beautiful eyes fixed on Kijima Tsukur:
"His goal is very simple: he wants to destroy the motivation of Class D. Just imagine, once the class points exceed three hundred, having to hand over all the excess private points each month to someone else would surely make you lose the drive to continue increasing your class points, let alone rising to Class A."
"So... that's it..."
Yamauchi Haruki was suddenly stunned, looking at Kijima Tsukur as he said:
"Kijima, this was your goal all along, wasn't it?"
"Sigh..."
Kijima Tsukur let out a sigh, looking somewhat helpless:
