I Don't Eat Beef / Your Father, the Chairman

She doesn't really like talking to students she's not familiar with.

Subordinates should not contradict their superiors.

"I wonder who was calling me 'Kamuro' all day yesterday." Kamuro wanted to use his chopsticks to clamp Aoyama's hateful mouth shut.

"Using your job title at work, but outside of work, it's a different story."

Kamuro clenched his fist and raised it high. "I think you're asking for a beating, you bastard."

Did Aoyama hear from someone that Nishikawa spoke first? Is he planning to use this as a pretext to attack Nishikawa, who is close to Sakayanagi, as a warning to others?

No, we can't let Aoyama find out that it was Nishikawa who posted it. That would put Nishikawa in a difficult position, as he wouldn't know whether to say it or not.

Shiraishi was caught in a dilemma and had no interest in the two's playful antics. She was trying to figure out how to get Aoyama to give up on this so-called act of standing up for her.

After thinking it over, she could only come up with a plausible excuse.

"The rumors are true."

"Shiraishi -kun?" Nishikawa's eyes widened, as did Yamamura, who had just been smiling at Aoyama and his companion.

That's a kill of twenty people. Shiraishi just admitted it like that. Doesn't that mean he's admitting to having an immoral private life?

With a pleading expression, Shiraishi looked pitifully at the somewhat bewildered Aoyama, "So, Aoyama -kun, could you please help me and prevent things from escalating?"

Please.

Chapter 140 I Don't Eat Beef

I've already pleaded so humbly, surely Aoyama Shiki won't keep bothering me now.

Kamuro and Yamamura are still by your side. If you keep bothering me, I'll cry, believe it or not. You're bullying a defenseless, weak woman like me. What will Kamuro and Yamamura think of you then?

Annoyed, Shiraishi Asuka maintained an uneasy expression as she looked at Aoyama. With the beauty mark under her left eye, she had a pitiful look about her.

The boys in Class A all liked to hang around her, and it's really no wonder they were attracted to her Class A; Shiraishi was not only beautiful, but her charisma was also extremely appealing to young men.

They'd rather admit it than let me get involved.

How could I possibly let you off so easily, my adorable Shiraishi?

"To protect those who slandered you, you actually went so far as to defame yourself." Aoyama feigned deep emotion, "Shiraishi -kun, I will absolutely not let those who slandered you get away with it."

"In the name of Student Council Vice President Aoyama Shiki!"

Stop it, Aoyama Shiki!

When did you become so righteous? You never act like this during Special Exam! I've already admitted it, isn't that enough?!

Ryoko, how did you manage to provoke such a troublesome person? Getting close to Sakayanagi won't do you any good.

On the surface, Shiraishi remained calm, but inwardly she was already regretting using this so-called brilliant plan to make Nishikawa a target.

If Aoyama knew what she was thinking, Aoyama would definitely laugh, because his goal from beginning to end was Shiraishi herself, the student sent to the Kouiku by a mysterious organization to monitor Ayanokoji.

On the surface, he has no powerful connections, so perhaps he could try to negotiate with this organization and use their influence to his advantage. However, the prerequisite for doing so is that he first obtains sufficient means to protect himself.

For example, a certain karate Saiyan, or a swordsman in a movie who can sit on the wing of a fighter jet.

"I'm telling the truth. I really did have a lot of boyfriends in middle school."

"Before my eyes, all lies will be exposed." Aoyama feigned profundity. "No matter how you look at it, Shiraishi is a pure and good child. I will ask the students being questioned to stop spreading the rumors."

"The Special Exam is about to start, let's eat quickly. I'll get to work on this as soon as we get back to school."

Cutting off Shiraishi's seemingly attempt to argue his point, Aoyama picked up his chopsticks and began to eat, adopting a rigid, traditional demeanor of not speaking while eating or sleeping.

Seeing this, Shiraishi glanced at Nishikawa and the others, then reluctantly suppressed his urge to continue arguing.

Since Aoyama specifically said to start working on it after returning to school, perhaps he wanted to talk to her alone. Even if not, it means that she still has several days to come up with a solution.

"I think you want to be friends with Katsuragi, so let's switch seats, Hirata."

"It's hard for me to agree when you suddenly say this to me like this." Even with a somewhat helpless expression, Hirata still looked like a refreshingly handsome guy.

In the Dragon Group exam room, Aoyama, who was the last person to enter, immediately noticed that the remaining chairs were sandwiched between Katsuragi and Sakayanagi, which did not suit his taste at all.

So he walked straight up to Hirata.

Aoyama clicked his tongue. "You don't even think much of Katsuragi? Hirata, you have really high standards for your friends."

"I didn't think that way either. That's your Class A spot, isn't it?" Hirata said with a wry smile.

"No teacher has ever said that room assignments are restricted, and I believe that students in Class A can also become good friends with students in Class D."

Horikita Suzune, standing next to Hirata, frowned. "The exam is about to start, hurry up and go back to your seat."

"I think you just don't understand, Suzune."

With a light smile, Aoyama let the bewildered Hirata go, walked straight to the podium, and jumped down onto the tabletop.

The eyes of eleven people sitting in a circle of twelve chairs were all on him.

[The exam has begun. The first round of group discussion will now commence.]

Mashima Tomoya and steady voice came from the room's speakers, and even after the voice faded, no proctor entered the room to stop Aoyama's 'out-of-line' behavior.

"Rules that aren't explicitly stated don't necessarily mean they don't exist, but they certainly don't justify using them as a reason for punishment." Aoyama smiled at the group of people who were a head shorter than him. "I think none of you need to do the self-introductions."

"Since we're all acquaintances, I'll get straight to the point. For this Special Exam, I want the top result in Group 3, which includes the VIP in Class B."

After confirming with Shiraishi that she was indeed VIP from Class A, the pattern that had only been deduced from the names of VIP from Class B and Class D was further corroborated by the name of VIP from Class A.

Having confirmed that the pattern was 100% correct, he naturally chose 'I don't eat beef'.

Worried about Ryuen and Sakayanagi's suspicions?

There's absolutely no need for that.

A bad feeling crept into his heart. Ryuen looked coldly at Aoyama. "Reason."

"Shiina, come up here for a moment. Don't tell anyone this reason." Aoyama's gaze fell on the gentle and charming girl who looked thoughtful.

A look of surprise flashed across his face. His gaze lingered on Shiina for a moment before Kushida stood up from his seat, his silver hair swaying as he slowly walked onto the podium.

After staring at Shiina's beautiful profile for several seconds, Aoyama placed his hand near Shiina's ear, lowered his head, and uttered the three names at a very close distance.

Then, because the fragrance emanating from Shiina was so wonderful, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The sound, of course, also reached Shiina's ears along with the names.

Visibly, Shiina's delicate and pretty ears turned bright red, and her cute little face was no exception, her big purple eyes filled with shyness and annoyance.

Ignoring her shock that Aoyama knew who the VIP in Class C was, Shiina glared fiercely at Aoyama, "Aoyama Shiki!"

"I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself, I was wrong, Shiina- sama."

With his hands clasped together, Aoyama immediately lowered his head, his previous air of confidence and self-assurance vanishing in an instant.

He didn't mean to tease Shiina just now; it was just a sudden lapse of judgment.

"I won't talk to you if you do this again." Seeing that Aoyama was remorseful and had a good attitude, Shiina's dissatisfaction dissipated a lot, but her shyness was not so easy to dispel.

So she hid behind Aoyama, making herself disappear from the sight of the ten people below.

Then, pairs of eyes with different expressions all settled on Aoyama's face, with varying degrees of dissatisfaction in the eyes of Ichinose, Kushida, and Horikita Suzune.

Aoyama straightened his posture by tugging at his collar. "Ahem, I was just referring to the names of three students in Class C VIP. Don't misunderstand."

"Shiina just had a mosquito bite, and her reaction is a bit too strong."

Chapter 141 Your Chairman Father

"So, Aoyama -kun, you've already figured out the pattern?"

Her delicate white hands gripped her cane tightly, Sakayanagi looked at Aoyama on the stage with a very serious expression, her heart filled with a feeling of resentment.

Based on Aoyama's flamboyant behavior just now, her rational mind had already concluded that Aoyama had taken the lead and grasped the pattern of the selection of the VIP. However, she still fantasized that perhaps Aoyama was colluding with Class C to lie.

"You won't give up until you reach the Yellow River, you poor little devil."

"If you don't believe me, you can come up and verify it yourself." Aoyama smiled silently, shattering Aoyama 'Sakayanagi illusions.

"Verification."

She uttered a single word coldly, then slowly walked to the spot where Sakayanagi had just stood, completely ignoring Shiina's Shiina in her sight, and stared intently at Aoyama.

As long as there's even the slightest chance, she won't give up easily.

What a waste of such a cute face.

Looking at her up close again, Sakayanagi struck by her doll-like beauty and bent down with an Aoyama. He calmly told her the names of the three VIP in Class A.

Then, he mischievously blew a gentle breath into those small, pretty ears.

"Ah!"

With a cute meow like a kitten, Sakayanagi leaned on her cane and took a step away from Aoyama. Her usually elegant and calm face now showed the shyness and panic of an ordinary girl.

Just as Aoyama was jokingly admiring his masterpiece, he was hit three times on the back by a small fist.

The hand still resting near the girl's ear could block the view of the people in front of Aoyama, but it couldn't block the attention coming from behind.

Oh no, I accidentally forgot Shiina was still behind me.

Aoyama turned his head hastily, only to be met with Shiina's resentful gaze, as if she were blaming him for his mischievous behavior and probably no longer believing his previous involuntary explanation.

"I only acted impulsively towards you; Sakayanagi did it on purpose."

Sakayanagi's eyes suddenly hardened with defiance. "Oh, really? Then can I accuse you of indecent assault, Aoyama Shiki?"

A silent anger rose within Sakayanagi at Aoyama's explanation.

What do you mean by saying you can't help yourself when it comes to Shiina, but you're doing it on purpose when it comes to me? It's like saying I'm less attractive to you than Shiina Hiyori. What do I lack compared to her?

For the time being, she forgot about the annihilation of VIP of Class A.

"Then your Chairman father will have to decide, so that he can convict me without evidence." Aoyama didn't take Sakayanagi's threat to heart at all.

He merely blew a breath; aside from illusory evidence, no one can convict him.

Perhaps a 'Great Memory Restoration Technique' could also work.

Touching his chin, Aoyama thought to himself that with Sakayanagi Narimori's influence, arranging a memory recovery package for him wouldn't be difficult.

Sakayanagi's expression stiffened, then his gaze sharpened. "Don't think that just because you beat me this time, you're stronger than me. This was just because my strength wasn't accumulated enough."

She will lose to Aoyama in this Special Exam because Aoyama has already made his moves in Class BCD.

She has only been in control of Class A for two days and hasn't had time to plant too many spies in other classes yet. Currently, the only student from other classes she can remotely control is one person controlled by Hashimoto, and even that's not complete control.

It's impossible to fully deduce the pattern based solely on the names of the VIP in one class. Therefore, it must be that Aoyama spies in other classes who provided him with a lot of information.

"Is it your father, the Chairman, that gives you the confidence to keep your mouth shut?"

"It was Kushida who gave you this information, wasn't it? You only dated Kushida to use her. What a clever scheme to seduce her with your good looks."

"If I have the Chairman as my father, I won't need to use my good looks."

Sakayanagi, annoyed, continued in a low voice, "Could you please not mention my Chairman father?"

"But you really do have a Chairman as your father, which is the reason you were able to take over Class A so easily. Are you planning to use him and then discard him?" Aoyama sneered. "With a daughter like you, I truly feel sorry for the Chairman."

Aside from academic performance, he couldn't think of any merits in Sakayanagi Arisu that would make Sakayanagi Narimori.

Sakayanagi Narimori's sense of responsibility as a person in a high position was completely lacking in Sakayanagi Arisu, who only cared about her own happiness.

Even someone like Koenji, whose physical abilities and intelligence are beyond the reach of ordinary people and who is truly unique, will still fulfill some of his own responsibilities, such as cooperating with the class.

Before taking any action that would cause the class to suffer losses, he would bring sufficient compensation to the class.

"Enough with the flirting. I understand you've established the VIP policy." Ryuen slammed his foot on the floor. "Tell me what you want to do first."

"It's simple, I only need personal points."

Tossing the speechless Sakayanagi aside, Aoyama turned his gaze to Ryuen, whose expression was unfriendly. None of the nine people in the chairs looked good, not even Ichinose.

He had only glanced at Ichinose with displeasure for a moment before quickly fixing his gaze on Ryuen.

"Group 3 of Class B, I want the result number one. All the individual points awarded by the school must be handed over to me, and I'll split them equally with Class B."

"In exchange, Class B and I will not interfere in any way with the Special Exam for the remaining nine groups."

Having established a clear pattern for VIP, Aoyama changed his original plan, refusing to allocate any personal points to Class Three.
