I'm Going to Pick on Your Little Sister / Shy Kamuro
"As you all know, this division of classes is in the best interest of our class in this Sports Festival."
Ignoring Hirata, Horikita stared intently at the students below the stage. "We're second in overall strength at this Sports Festival, and with a bit of luck, taking first place isn't out of the question."
"If you have no desire to advance to the next grade, then you can continue to protect those students who drag the class down and show no remorse."
"Just be a flawed product in other people's eyes for the rest of your life."
Feeling a bit overwhelmed by what happened today, Horikita Suzune decided to throw caution to the wind and settle one thing beforehand.
Either make advancing to the next grade your primary goal, or make it clear that you don't want to advance.
The approach of wanting both is simply impossible given the current abilities of the students in Class D.
Chapter 216 I'm Going to Bully Your Sister
"Looks like we're allies this time, you scumbag vice president."
In the stadium that can hold hundreds of people, Ryuen, along with Albert and a few others, approached Chao Aoyama, who was in the Class C camp, and struck up a conversation with him.
The Sports Festival divided students from the three grades into groups, and the school also organized an internal exchange meeting for each group. After the exam instructions for each class were finished, the students gathered in the gymnasium.
After the group leaders finished speaking, there was time for free discussion.
Aoyama gave a disgusted look. "Don't do that, it's awful. You're not Ryuen Shoko."
He doesn't care when girls call him a jerk, but if guys try to mess with his mentality, then he might as well use his sword against them.
"You can be quite infuriating sometimes," Ryuen said, his smile fading. "Let's discuss how to divide the teams. I don't think you want to waste time with me and reduce the White Team's score."
In this Sports Festival, there are situations where people are both enemies and allies. If the White Team loses, even if Aoyama leads Class C to first place in the grade, the Class Points will not change.
To be honest, it's quite disgusting, but it's a good analogy for the relationships between various social organizations; it's not as simple as just being either friend or foe.
"How do you know I don't want to? Maybe I've already collected some points from another class," Aoyama said with a faint smile, refusing Ryuen.
As long as no major changes occur in the second year, the White Team is guaranteed to win this group competition. Therefore, he has the resources to target Class B of relying on luck to win first place.
Ryuen chuckled sinisterly, "Oh, so it seems you'd like to fight me."
Their class has the strongest athletic ability in the entire grade, and there are just as many boys and girls joining sports clubs, so they are not afraid at all.
"Not sure yet, maybe."
Aoyama didn't make his statement completely. He did have a pawn in Class B, but Ryuen was so cautious as to submit the entry form at the last minute before the deadline, then he wouldn't have had time to make a move.
Finding students from Class C to create fake competition forms to mislead Ryuen is a questionable tactic that would absolve Ryuen of suspicion.
"Heh, interesting. Then come and try to please me."
Realizing that Aoyama had no intention of discussing the matter, Ryuen made a harsh statement and left with his men, returning to his own class's camp.
"Don't you think the student council president is very handsome?"
With nothing else to do, Aoyama silently moved behind Tachibana Akane and noticed that this cute senior with a bun hairstyle was staring at Horikita Manabu's profile in a daze. He decided to tease her and spoke gently.
Tachibana Akane thought she was the only one who knew she liked Horikita Manabu, and felt she had hidden it very well.
"Hmm." Tachibana Akane, clearly lost in thought, replied unconsciously.
"I didn't hear what you just asked! And when did you get here, you rascal junior?"
Suddenly realizing what question she had answered, Tachibana Akane blushed deeply and waved her hands wildly.
A gentle smile, like a hint of joy, rose in Aoyama's heart. "While you were staring blankly at someone's face..."
"I wasn't staring at the president's face out of my mind!"
Without thinking, Tachibana Akane hurriedly retorted, only to fall into Aoyama's trap again.
"I never said that person was a senior."
With an even more mocking smile, Aoyama pressed down on the head of the senior student who was about to swing her little fist. The difference in arm span plunged Tachibana Akane into deep despair.
"Stop teasing Ju. Come over and talk to me if you have something to say."
Noticing the commotion, Horikita Manabu walked over unhurriedly, spoke, and then headed towards a secluded corner.
Aoyama is the type who doesn't come to the temple unless he has a reason. He knew that Aoyama could only be here to see him if he came to Third-Year Class A.
"Understood, President." Releasing the suddenly quiet Tachibana Akane, Aoyama and Horikita Manabu went to a spot where there were no students around.
He planned to bully Horikita Suzune, but he had to Horikita Manabu first, since Horikita Manabu was his older brother after all.
"Suzune is thinking of quitting, so I'm planning to help her regain her motivation."
To start, Aoyama told Horikita Manabu about what happened this morning and before the Class D meeting at the gymnasium, so that he would know what was going on.
The fact that there were traitors and geniuses everywhere in Class D made Horikita Suzune somewhat vulnerable.
Horikita Manabu remained expressionless and indifferent. "So, what do you plan to do?"
"Of course I'll help the lovely Suzune. First, I'll get rid of that toxic genius, Yamauchi. Then, I'll increase the cohesion of Class D so that Suzune can manage the class better."
"Speak like a human." Horikita Manabu pushed up his glasses with his middle finger.
Hearing Aoyama's vague explanation, he knew that Aoyama didn't have any good intentions towards his sister.
"Suzune has eleven million personal points. I think it's better to give them to me than to Nagumo. By the way, I can create a clear enemy for Class D and increase their motivation to climb the ranks."
"I will give Suzune a reason not to save Yamauchi, because there are students who are more worthy of saving. Of course, these worthy students are my people, and they won't play the honey trap like Nagumo did."
Having been lectured by a group of people for framing Mizowaki last time, including Horikita Manabu in front of him, Aoyama naturally had no intention of confronting them directly.
This time, he only intended to commit fraud.
"Having a student like you in the first grade, I don't know whether to be happy or unhappy for Suzune." Horikita Manabu had mixed feelings. Aoyama's talent was undoubtedly a good whetstone, but he was afraid that his younger sister wouldn't be able to handle it.
He wasn't afraid of Horikita Suzune losing, he was afraid of Horikita Suzune admitting defeat.
"Don't worry, President, I'll be careful. After all, Suzune is so cute."
"... You're making me even more uneasy."
Knowing that Aoyama had seen through his siscon tendencies, Horikita Manabu didn't pretend to be indifferent and sighed, rubbing his forehead.
He felt that being an older brother was difficult, even more difficult than being a good Student Council President.
"Well, that's about it. I'm going back to my classroom now."
"Go back, go back, I don't want to see you again." Horikita Manabu waved his hand, showing a disgusted expression.
Since Aoyama was able to inform her in advance and provide intelligence, he had no reason to tell his younger sister Aoyama that he was going to scam her personal points.
Eleven million? These first-year students these days are terrifying.
Frowning, Horikita Manabu watched Aoyama's figure disappear into the distance.
Based on his understanding of the first grade, the current Class 1-A has accumulated a staggering 22 million points in class funds, making it the fastest class to reach that many individual points since the school's founding.
Aoyama is also the first person in the school's history to earn Twenty Million Personal Points without the help of his class.
With such impressive performances from his juniors, first Nagumo and then Aoyama, Horikita Manabu suddenly thought that it would be quite interesting if the three of them were in the same grade.
Now, he understood a little why Nagumo had always longed to challenge him.
Chapter 217 The Shy Kamuro
Night.
Before curfew, Aoyama sneaked into Ichinose's room again.
Judging from the atmosphere in Class A he saw in the gymnasium, he guessed that Ichinose was probably feeling pretty bad. Besides, he had just had a deep conversation with Ichinose last night, so he had to be with her tonight.
"Has the Amikura become the leader of Class A?"
Leaning against the headboard and holding Ichinose's body, Aoyama said with some surprise.
According to Ichinose just said, the new class leader ultimately elected at the Class A meeting this afternoon was not Kanzaki, as he had imagined.
"Yes, it seems some of the kids are taking their anger out on Kanzaki," Ichinose apologetically. "Actually, I think Kanzaki might be a better fit, but I can't interfere any further."
The voting was anonymous, so she couldn't suggest a re-election.
Furthermore, Amikura herself showed no intention of stepping down to Kanzaki.
Aoyama nuzzled Ichinose's hair in his arms. "I feel a little guilty."
The deterioration of the atmosphere in Class A cannot be entirely attributed to him.
"This has nothing to do with the Shiki, it's just that I'm useless." Ichinose chuckled softly, playing with the large hand on her stomach.
"I won't allow anyone, not even Honami himself, to speak ill of Honami."
"Hey-hey."
Hearing Aoyama's voice, which was as gentle as ever, Ichinose chuckled, then turned her head and lifted her body slightly, gently kissing the boy's cheek.
She feels very happy now and believes that as long as Aoyama stays by her side, she will continue to be happy.
"Xiao Fanbo is a bad kid," Aoyama realized Ichinose's little trick. "But so am I."
He turned Ichinose's warm, soft body over, and began to get restless.
You seem a little tired.
"It's nothing, just a trivial matter. Let me tell you my terms first."
It was just dawn, and most students were still fast asleep when Aoyama got out of Ichinose's bed and went to Yukimura Teruhiko's room.
To be honest, he didn't like Yukimura, but it was precisely because he disliked Shinmura that he became someone he could exploit.
This person would betray even their friends, let alone their class, if they could get into Class A.
"Just like the text message I sent you yesterday, if you do one thing for me, I'll pay for your transfer to Class C."
Sitting in the chair at his desk, Aoyama stared directly at Yukimura, who lay on the bed with a gloomy and uncertain expression. Yukimura, who had replied last night that he was interested and agreed to meet, was probably still hesitating a little.
"Class D is currently facing the dilemma of whether or not to save Yamauchi. I think saving a piece of trash like Yamauchi would be a waste of ten million personal points, plus the votes that can be sold for huge sums of points, and it's not worth it at all."
"Therefore, I think we should give Suzune a new option."
"That is, is she willing to spend only ten million to save you, the top student in your class in terms of academic ability?"
With Ayanokoji not yet putting in his full effort and Koenji still in a playful mood, Yukimura is currently ranked first in Class D and final exams.
If you were to ask who Horikita Suzune would save between the two, the answer would undoubtedly be Yukimura, who would definitely be of use.
No matter how special it may be, Kouiku is still a school, and no school can disregard academic ability.
"You mean I should scam Horikita and then transfer to Class C?" Yukimura quickly understood what Aoyama was talking about, and his expression became even more gloomy and uncertain.
He first swindled ten million from the class funds, then betrayed the class and transferred to another class. The students in Class D will hate him to death, and he himself will be condemned.
"If I didn't need your help, why do you think I would contact you?" Aoyama said calmly. "There are many students who are both academically and physically excellent."
"And Twenty Million Personal Points is also a lot."
Even though the air conditioner was still on, Yukimura simply sat on the edge of the bed without moving, but his forehead was already covered in a fine layer of sweat.
He could understand the unspoken meaning behind Aoyama's words: he wasn't worth 20 million, a point he couldn't refute because he had no basis for it.
He didn't perform well in either the Uninhabited Island Special Exam or the VIP Special Exam. Compared to Aoyama sitting at his desk, he was worlds apart.
Even his most prized academic ability was nothing more than a roadside obstacle in the face of Aoyama.
"You tell me what to do, and I'll do it."
After a long silence, Yukimura convinced himself to accept Aoyama's terms.
In his opinion, Class D is beyond saving. Even Horikita Suzune's overnight evolution into Aoyama Shiki couldn't save them. Although Class C is currently in Class C's position, in his view, Class C has the strongest lineup.
With Aoyama Shiki as their capable leader, Class C will surely return to Class A's position.
"Very good, you made a wise choice. From today onwards, you belong to me."
Standing up from his chair, Aoyama patted Yukimura on the shoulder and then explained in detail how to scam Horikita. Finally, after Yukimura went out for some fresh air, Aoyama returned to his room.
After catching up on some sleep, he got up again to the sound of his alarm clock, then washed up and went to school.
"What were you doing last night, you bastard?"
In Class C, Kamuro and Yamamura walked up to Aoyama's table, and then Yamamura served Aoyama breakfast.
Taking out a meat bun from the bag, Aoyama started eating it heartily while saying, "Nothing much, just missed you guys, and also managed to turn one student against me this morning."
