The Player Becomes a Pawn / She's Naive, Not Stupid

"But Nagumo might not agree," Xu Zhi replied timidly.

She felt superior to simple-minded people Asahina, but she remained fearful of Akito like Aoyama Nagumo.

Threatening Nagumo is tantamount to asking for trouble.

"Then grit your teeth and refuse to give it to me. If you don't get it, you'll have to drop out of school." Aoyama coldly patted Xuzhi's face, then pinched her chin and made her look at him.

"You may not know this, Tomioka provided me with enough evidence to warrant her dropping out of school before I appointed her as the leader of the Class Three Alliance."

"And this is the second time you've betrayed the class. Do you think Tomioka would have done anything without my approval?"

Now that things have come to this, it's clear that if she still wants to be a fence-sitter, Aoyama can say is that she only has petty cleverness and can't see the bigger picture.

From the moment she betrayed the country again, she became a thorn in Nagumo's side.

Realizing even more clearly that Aoyama could manipulate her at will, she forced a fawning smile and said, "... I understand."

"It's not that I know, it's that I will do it." Aoyama solemnly corrected Xu Zhi, putting pressure on her.

After Xu Zhi nodded, he pulled Xu Zhi back into the room and continued to act out the various flirtatious words of a lovesick scumbag until Asahina groaned and woke up in a daze.

"How did I end up sleeping in Aoyama's bed?"

After regaining consciousness Asahina a little shy and quickly jumped off Aoyama's bed.

Xu Zhi directly took Asahina's hand, saying, "These are all minor issues, Nazuna. We've been here a while; we should head back."

"Oh, it's already this late."

Looking at the time displayed on her phone, Asahina exclaimed in surprise, then immediately said goodbye to Aoyama.

Aoyama did not object to this, and after the two left the room, he took out the Multifunctional Glasses he had used on the Uninhabited Island and eavesdropped on the recording of the instructions they had just received.

The patch-type Bug is extremely small; all he needs to do is find an opportunity to go to the entrance hall and stick it on the sole of Xu Zhi's shoe.

The instructions to accept the task requiring a ten million yen deposit undoubtedly violated the contract with Nagumo.

This distrust of the other party will inevitably cause Nagumo, who is already extremely angry, to argue with Suji.

In this way, he could record a lot of evidence that would be devastating to Nagumo. If Nagumo dared to use the recordings to report him to the Student Council, he could get Nagumo expelled from school.

I can't wait for tomorrow, Nagumo.

After putting away the camera that was filming the bed from another angle, Aoyama took out the memory card, read it with a card reader, and inserted it into the computer to watch the video.

Satisfied that the video footage proved his innocence, he shut down his computer.

Knowing that no one would come with good intentions, he had prepared a camera—something that could prove his innocence—in his room long ago.

Chapter 250 The Player Becomes a Pawn

"Aren't you taking yourself too seriously? You should know that."

In the boys' dormitory, Nagumo stared fiercely at Shuchi Moeka, looking as if he wanted to devour her.

Having confirmed that his childhood sweetheart had been taken advantage of by Aoyama, he was in an extremely unpleasant mood. And at this critical juncture, when he was about to obtain evidence of Aoyama's expulsion from school, he dared to sabotage him.

"I don't trust Nagumo- kun. If I want the second half of the film, I need to see ten million first," Xu Zhi said, forcing a smile despite his unease.

With the number of students dropping out reaching double digits, Nagumo's gloomy expression created an aura that was incredibly intimidating.

If it weren't for Aoyama's pressure, she wouldn't dare to cause any trouble at this time.

"I was the one who reported him to the Student Council. If Horikita President protects Aoyama and doesn't let him drop out, I'll definitely face retaliation."

"According to the contract, if the goal of dropping out of Aoyama is not achieved, I will not receive the 20 million."

What a joke! Horikita President dares to defend Aoyama, I'll eat a large portion right here and now.

Sneaking a sleeping girl is already a crime, Nagumo is 100% certain, and once it's confirmed, Aoyama will definitely be expelled from school.

Even if Horikita President and the principal came, it wouldn't make a difference.

"I guarantee with my integrity that if you do exactly as I say and take photos as evidence of the braised water chestnuts in Aoyama, he will definitely be expelled from school."

"With the contract in place, the twenty million will definitely be in your hands. At that time, how could Tomioka and his few companions possibly defeat me?"

Sitting upright on the bed Nagumo suppressed her anger and spoke slowly and deliberately, "Or is it that you don't even trust my character?"

If you keep arguing and don't hand over the evidence, you'll offend me.

Even if you have 20 million, it won't be of much use then.

He believed that Xu Zhi would understand the meaning behind his words and then deliver the second half of the video to him as promised.

"No matter what you say, I still need to get the ten million first."

When Nagumo thought that Suji would soon be defeated, Suji, despite trembling slightly, persisted in his opinion.

The next day.

At lunchtime, the first thing Nagumo did after school was to call Xuzhi and tell her to immediately report to the Student Council that the Student Council Vice President, Aoyama Shiki, had harassed her friend the previous night.

Hello, the number you dialed is currently switched off. Please try again later.

Has she really gotten herself into a crazy situation?!

Nagumo felt like he'd been screwed over. This worthless girl had repeatedly tried to sabotage him; did she really think he was a husky?

"Come with me to Class C, Tonokawa."

Without bringing Mizowaki, Nagumo called out to Tonokawa and quickly headed towards Class 2-C.

"Moka, she wasn't feeling well during the fourth period and asked to stay home. She should be in her dorm."

After failing to find the instructions in Class C, Nagumo immediately asked the students in Class C, only to receive an answer that caught him off guard.

While his anger was rising, he was also very puzzled. Taking money and not doing anything was absurd; surely no one would be so stupid as to offend him so badly.

What should we do? Should we stop using the instructions?

Go by yourself?

Standing in the corridor outside the second-grade classroom, Nagumo began to struggle internally.

After handing over ten million to Xuzhi, he did receive the video, but after watching it, he smashed his computer and was so angry that he couldn't sleep all night.

He couldn't have his childhood sweetheart, and his first kiss was given to an Aoyama like Aoyama.

"Notify the student council president to go to the Student Council. I have something important to report right now," Nagumo ordered Tonokawa with a gloomy face.

Despite sensing something was amiss, he hesitated repeatedly before deciding to take matters into his own hands.

Time waits for no one. The Student Council President election is after school this afternoon. We must get things settled with Aoyama within this time frame, otherwise, if Aoyama is elected, there are concerns that the school might protect him.

He just became the Student Council President, and he was expelled for harassing female students? The school can't afford to lose face like that.

"Understood." Sensing the pressure emanating from Nagumo, Tonokawa immediately carried out Aoyama's order.

Meanwhile, Kamuro invited Aoyama to dinner for the third time, but was refused.

"Is he planning to have dinner with Asahina again? Or with Horikita President?"

With her arms crossed and Kamuro lips pursed into a thin line, she was fine once or twice, but after three times in a row, she became a little unhappy.

Someone needs to coax her.

Standing up from his seat, Aoyama smiled and ruffled Kamuro's hair. "It's not that I don't want to spend time with Masumi, it's just that I don't think I'll have time for lunch today."

"Right now, Nagumo is probably reporting me to the Student Council for allegedly harassing Asahina last night, as the vice president."

"If Butcher Zhang dies, we won't eat mixed-haired pigs."

Without Xu Zhi as the whistleblower, the only one who can fill the gap is Nagumo, the person who contacted Xu Zhi last night.

Last night, after Xu Zhi left Nagumo's room, Aoyama not only ordered her to transfer ten million to Tomioka, pass it through his hands, and then return it to him, but also ordered her to play the disappearing game today.

"What's going on? Tell me quickly." Kamuro didn't even care about Aoyama's hand on his head anymore.

Seeing Aoyama's confident demeanor, she wasn't worried at all. She was just very curious about what had happened last night and how it would affect the Student Council election.

"That's a long story."

Kamuro placed his hand directly on the waist of Aoyama. "Then let's get straight to the point."

"I'll get to know."

After leaving the classroom with Kamuro, Aoyama began to recount what had happened the previous night and his plans for the future.

This time, Nagumo is in for a treat.

"Look, the president has come to inform us."

Just as he finished speaking, Aoyama's phone rang, and the caller ID showed Horikita Manabu.

As expected, he was notified to go to the Student Council for questioning.

"Then hurry up and answer it, I'll go too." Kamuro felt that nothing beats watching a good show, especially a good show about Nagumo.

She had long disliked Nagumo's arrogant attitude, as this vice president who didn't get along with her family's Aoyama.

"Okay, okay."

After exchanging a few words, Aoyama ended his call with Horikita Manabu, and then, with a slightly excited Kamuro, leisurely walked towards the Student Council.

Nagumo, it seems our competition will end before Nagumo Student Council President election.

If it weren't for the rush, I really wouldn't want to let you drop out of school.

Horikita Manabu conveyed to Aoyama in his first concise sentence that the report was personally carried out by Nagumo, transforming the player into a chess piece attacking him instead of a chess player jumping onto the board.

"Shiki, your smile is so sinister."

Turning his head, he saw Aoyama's upturned lips, and Kamuro smiled as well.

"That's called a wise smile, or the smile of a victor." Aoyama's smile grew even more sinister, a spitting image of Ryuen.

Good afternoon, Mashima- sensei.

At the entrance to the Student Council room, they encountered Mashima face.

As Aoyama's homeroom teacher, he couldn't possibly miss this interrogation meeting.

"If you could cause less trouble, I think I'd be fine."

"That wish is too difficult; I'm afraid I'm powerless to grant it."

Patting Mashima on the shoulder, Aoyama walked into the Student Council room as if it were none of his business, then met Nagumo's angry gaze.

Chapter 251 She's innocent, not stupid

Last night, I tasted your childhood sweetheart for you; it was very moist.

Aoyama felt that if he said this to Nagumo now, Nagumo might get so angry that he would vomit blood and lose his temper even more.

However, Horikita Manabu and Tachibana Akane were also in the meeting room, and Nagumo's homeroom teacher had also arrived, so he wasn't that irrational.

"Please have a seat, there are still some people who haven't arrived yet."

Tachibana Akane made no attempt to hide her disdain. Since Aoyama arrived, she had been working overtime more often, and today she hadn't even had time to eat before starting to work.

All of this was in connection with Nagumo's report against Aoyama, clearly indicating internal strife within the Student Council.

"President, I want to complain about Secretary Tachibana, she glared at me." After sitting down to Horikita Manabu's right, Aoyama raised his hand like a schoolboy to tattle.

"Orange."

Horikita Manabu spoke calmly, and Tachibana Akane immediately put on a business-like smile, but the anger in her eyes grew even stronger.

However, he's still not as good as Nagumo.

With one hand supporting his chin, Aoyama carefully observed Nagumo's face, which was suppressing his anger.

After these two days, that face will disappear from his sight, and he doesn't know how many years it will be before he sees it again.

What are you so arrogant about? I'm the one reporting you now, why are you acting like you're on vacation?

Looking at the leisurely Aoyama, Nagumo's heart sank. But there was no turning back now, and he had the video footage and could clearly hear Aoyama making unwanted advances.

This should be a sure thing; there's absolutely no chance of Aoyama turning the tables.

Wow, there are so many people!

Finally, after Asahina entered, she spoke with some surprise.
