Aoyama calmly looked at Ichinose, who was covering her mouth to stifle a scream, her Ichinose full of surprise.

The injury to Mizowaki was more severe, but in terms of sheer impact, the scene of him brutally beating Nagumo was incredibly violent, with blood spurting from Nagumo's nose gushing onto the floor.

"How is that possible?" Ichinose blurted out a denial, though she didn't know what to say.

She walked up to Aoyama, who remained calm after beating someone, took out several tissues to wipe the blood from his hands, and then turned her gaze to Nagumo, the senior who looked extremely miserable.

At first, she felt a sense of worry.

However, my concern wasn't about Nagumo's health, but rather whether Aoyama would be expelled as a result.

"Don't worry, I will only admit that I hit Nagumo in front of you."

"If Nagumo sues the Student Council, he has no evidence to prove it was me."

Crouching down, Aoyama began to clean up the traces he had left behind, and soon Ichinose's voice could be heard outside the Katsuragi.

"Don't do anything so risky next time. I don't want to suddenly receive news that you've dropped out of school."

Upon entering and seeing Nagumo lying there in a pitiful state, Katsuragi immediately frowned and, after Aoyama explained the situation, immediately offered a warning.

When he received a call from Aoyama, he thought it was something serious, but it turned out that Qingshan was there to act as a suspect.

If Nagumo claims that Aoyama, not Katsuragi, attacked a room without surveillance cameras, he needs to provide evidence to convince the public.

"When you repay me for delivering your gift," Aoyama replied calmly, without offering any guarantees, "I'll leave school on the 29th. Once you've chosen the gift, just bring it to me."

Katsuragi's birthday is August 29th, so naturally his twin sister's is too.

Ichinose was surprised again, "You can even leave school?"

Knowing that personal points could be used to buy all sorts of tangible and intangible things, she also considered leaving school and going home, especially after her past was exposed.

Even after starting school, she never properly communicated with her family, whom she had hurt by stealing.

"It's an opportunity I got by chance; replicating it is almost impossible." Aoyama turned to Ichinose. "I'll have plenty of free time on the day I leave school. If you want to bring something for your family or a gift, I can help."

"Consider it payment for your silence on this matter; it's free."

Chapter 198 The Perilous Green Aoyama

"Hiss--"

"You despicable scoundrel, Aoyama Shiki, you actually launched a sneak attack!"

Upon regaining consciousness, Nagumo gasped in pain and angrily got up from the ground, staring sharply at Aoyama.

What the hell are you doing at Ichinose's Ryuen? Didn't Ryuen say Ichinose wouldn't see anyone? I'm definitely going to give him a piece of my mind when I get back.

In addition to Ichinose, another student from Class 1-A, Katsuragi Kōhei, appeared in the room. He was quite robust-looking.

In other words, without evidence, he cannot accuse Aoyama of hitting him.

The thought of being gagged with a smelly sock by Aoyama and brutally beaten on the ground before he lost consciousness made Nagumo want to kill someone.

But now it's two against one, and the advantage lies with Aoyama, so he can only endure it.

Seeing that Nagumo was awake, Aoyama immediately sneered, "Don't talk nonsense without evidence. I think you'll see the consequences of slandering the Student Council Vice President tomorrow. Don't be a bad kid who lies."

He understood that Nagumo had come to his door without regard for his reputation and was even threatening Ichinose for help, so he guessed that Nagumo was not yet capable of rescuing Mizowaki.

"Just you wait, Aoyama Shiki." Nagumo's gaze shifted to Ichinose, "And you, Ichinose Honami, I'll expose your true colors to everyone."

Now that things have come to this, he no longer expects Ichinose to help.

If they directly propose a deal to Aoyama, they will definitely ask for an exorbitant price that he cannot accept.

He was out of options and could only choose to take revenge on Ichinose to quell his resentment, hoping to break Ichinose down and cause her to lose her leadership position.

Aoyama raised his hand. "You think I'm being too polite?"

"Hmph, just you wait and see."

A flicker of fear crossed Nagumo's eyes, and he hurriedly left the room.

After he left, Aoyama also asked Katsuragi to leave first, leaving the room for him and the uneasy Ichinose.

"I'm sorry, I'm a bad kid."

As if they were about to be connected, Ichinose suddenly hugged Aoyama tightly and buried her head in his chest.

The thought of her friends finding out about her past mistakes makes her extremely insecure, and she no longer cares that Aoyama has a girlfriend.

Anyway, Aoyama has said that he is an important friend of his and promised not to hate him because of the past.

All she wants to do now is to fully appreciate the presence of the Aoyama.

"There's nothing to apologize for. Besides, judging from what I just did, I'm no longer a bad kid." Responding to Ichinose's hug, Aoyama gently stroked Ichinose's back.

The white athletic short-sleeved shirt, though not very thick, cannot completely shield a girl's delicate skin.

He liked Ichinose, after Ichinose, she was cute and had a good personality, but that didn't stop him from taking advantage of Ichinose.

"Then it seems we're all bad kids."

"Yes, we're all bad kids, and I'm going to do something bad next." Aoyama rested his head on Ichinose's soft pink hair. "I'll repeat in Nagumo's voice what he threatened you before he came in."

Regardless of who Nagumo used to release the recording of Ichinose recounting her dark past, he planned to retaliate immediately and let all the students know that the source of the information was Nagumo.

This was undoubtedly a devastating blow to Nagumo's reputation.

Assuming Aoyama had no one to know about this, he would think Nagumo was a real bastard. People only told him about their dark past because they trusted him, and then Nagumo secretly recorded it.

Every student would wonder if he was recording them if they ever had the chance to speak with Nagumo again.

"Once Nagumo begins his retaliation, I will release the recording to attack Nagumo, escalating the situation to another level."

"I hope you can stand up for me and condemn Nagumo's shamelessness."

Knowing Ichinose couldn't possibly refuse at this point, Aoyama still pressed him for an answer, effectively binding Ichinose to his cause and making him a sworn enemy of Nagumo.

Ichinose tiptoed and nuzzled Aoyama's chin. "Yeah, I'll do whatever Aoyama."

The exposure of the matter is inevitable. Currently, Aoyama is the only person who can confirm that he wouldn't dislike her even knowing her past.

As long as Aoyama is happy, she doesn't care what happens to her.

"Good girl, no matter what happens, I will protect you." With affection, Aoyama began to gently stroke Ichinose's long pink hair, the smooth, high-quality hair feeling wonderful to the touch.

He will make it up to Ichinose on August 29th.

The next day.

[Pay Twenty Million Personal Points, and I can plead with Aoyama to let you off the hook. If the contract isn't signed, I'll refund double the amount.]

[If you feel that someone like Nagumo wouldn't use Twenty Million Personal Points to save you, you can try asking a student in your class, such as Asahina Nazuna- senpai.]

Two hours before the Student Council meeting, Mizowaki, who was sitting in his room in despair, suddenly received a lifeline.

The person who texted him was not anonymous; it can be confirmed that it was Horikita Suzune, the younger sister of the Student Council President and the leader of Class 1-D, a girl with an ambiguous relationship with Aoyama Shiki.

The fact that he offered a double refund if the contract wasn't signed confirms that the package is genuine and that Aoyama must have authorized Horikita Suzune.

The second text message revealed that Aoyama was truly terrifying; his malicious intentions sent a chill down Qingshan's spine.

As Nagumo's right-hand man, he could roughly estimate the number of personal points Nagumo had, and he knew that Nagumo could come up with 20 million, but being able to come up with it did not mean that he would actually do so.

When Aoyama was running for Student Council President, all of Nagumo's personal points became campaign funds.

In the back and forth, Aoyama and Nagumo have created a 40 million gap in their respective numbers. Given his understanding of Nagumo, he would definitely not pay out 20 million if Nagumo were to win.

I don't want to drop out of school yet.

I'm sorry, Nagumo.

Feeling apologetic to Nagumo for not being there, Mizowaki started contacting the naive Asahina, and then notified his classmates one by one that if Nagumo didn't come up with 20 million yen, he would drop out of school.

As long as he doesn't drop out of school, he doesn't care whether Nagumo's election is successful or not. If he hadn't listened to Nagumo and followed Aoyama, he wouldn't have ended up like this.

If Nagumo can choose not to save him today, he can choose to abandon them just as easily Nagumo.

Using this as a pretext, the whole class would know about the matter, leaving Nagumo with no choice but to save him.

As for this coercive approach, it might provoke Nagumo's retaliation, but that's better than dropping out now and losing any chance of graduating from Class A.

You Mizowaki!! How dare you! How dare you!!!

An hour before the Student Council meeting was to begin, Nagumo went to Mizowaki's room to try and appease him so that he could drop out of school with dignity. In the room, he saw seven students from Class A, one of whom was his childhood friend.

Upon seeing him, Asahina Nazuna immediately complained to him.

It was also from Asahina that he learned what Mizowaki had done behind his back.

Chapter 199 Bad Kids Can Do Bad Things

"Hey, isn't this Vice President Nagumo in the second year? Why does he look like he just got dumped by his girlfriend?"

Leaning against the wall outside the Student Council counseling room, Aoyama sneered and added insult to injury for Nagumo, who had just come out, making Nagumo's face even darker, who had just lost 20 million.

Faced with the silent support of many students in Class A, and with only one hour left, he could not resort to delaying tactics.

Just a minute before, he transferred 20 million yen to Horikita Suzune in the counseling room.

A temporary victory does not guarantee a permanent victory.

"Why are you getting so philosophical, Vice President Nagumo? I still prefer your rebellious self when the semester started."

Continuing his undisguised sarcasm, Aoyama gently patted Nagumo on the shoulder before pushing open the door to the counseling room to find Horikita Suzune, a tool he'd been using quite conveniently lately.

Brother complex is terrifying.

Upon entering and seeing Horikita Suzune in her feminine pose, Aoyama couldn't help but think of her, and then sat down opposite Horikita Manabu.

"Chairman, I want to withdraw the lawsuit against Mizowaki."

"Fine, but I don't want this to happen again." Horikita Manabu, the witness to the recent contract, said coldly.

He could accept this unorthodox approach, but that didn't mean he liked it. Furthermore, if Aoyama became complacent and thought this was a quick way to make money and acted recklessly, then it would be better to let Nagumo take over.

Aoyama shrugged. "I understand, President. I think I know what I can and cannot do."

Despite being reminded repeatedly, he didn't get annoyed, knowing that these people meant well and were advising him in this way.

Standing up from the sofa, Horikita Manabu looked down at his frail-looking younger sister. "That's good. And Suzune, now that you're the class leader, you need to take on the responsibilities of one."

"President, that's a foul, isn't it?" Aoyama with a hint of regret.

He also wanted to use Horikita Manabu's statement to get some votes from Class 1-D for free, but Horikita Manabu's words directly cut off that path for him.

What does it mean for a class leader to be responsible? It means putting the interests of the class before personal interests.

With a face full of surprise, Horikita Suzune looked at Horikita Manabu with shining eyes, "I understand, brother."

After many years, she finally heard her brother's expectations for her again.

A smile suddenly appeared on Horikita Manabu's indifferent face. "Don't you think about whose fault it is? I wasted two days of my summer vacation because of you."

No matter what, Horikita Suzune was still his beloved younger sister. Aoyama was using his name to boss her around, which was simply unbecoming of a son.

This can be considered a small punishment he imposed on Aoyama for his recent actions.

"Transfer 20 million to me, and while you're at it, send me a screenshot of your transaction history."

After watching Horikita Manabu leave the room, Aoyama turned to the now indifferent Horikita and demanded the stolen money she had just received.

The Twenty Million Personal Points obtained through framing and slander can be converted into black money, enough for 200 draws, guaranteeing at least two coveted golden legendary items.

Horikita Suzune looked puzzled. "What do you need the transaction screenshot for?"

"Of course, it's to show off." Aoyama's face lit up with a smile at the thought of the golden legend beckoning to him.

"I also have allies in the second year. By plundering Twenty Million Personal Points from Nagumo, this can greatly stabilize morale."

Currently, the second-year students have only reached a verbal alliance, but the fact that he was able to swindle 20 million from Nagumo will make Second-Year Class B and Second-Year Class D even more determined to follow him.

The seemingly invincible Nagumo in their eyes could only suffer defeat when facing him.

3 PM.

"I'm back, Ichinose."
