Giving Horikita a Massage / I Don't Want to Hate You
Half a million points are mine now; I'm a hero of Class A.
Takemoto quickly hung up the phone, then typed a text message for Ayanokoji Kiyotaka as the VIP, but hesitated for a moment before sending it.
If I make a mistake, I'll lose fifty Class Points, but even if I'm wrong, Sakayanagi won't be able to find me, and it will still hurt the Sakayanagi Faction.
Moreover, the results I verified myself could not possibly be wrong; Ayanokoji Kiyotaka is definitely VIP.
After a brief, not-too-intense internal struggle, Takemoto Shigeru pressed the send button.
He couldn't let those brainless students in Class C, gambling on luck, steal his 500,000 personal points.
[The Rabbit Group's exam is over. Rabbit Group students do not need to take any more exams. Please be careful and do not disturb other students.]
Like an automatic reply, within three seconds, all students' phones received a text message notification from the school.
The students in the Dragon Group's room were no exception.
"It seems Class C will be the winner this time." Aoyama smiled nonchalantly after glancing at the information Karuizawa had sent him.
Class C can cooperate with Class D, but it's impossible for Class D not to offer enough benefits. And to satisfy Class C, this hungry wolf, two groups of VIP from Class A alone are not enough.
Horikita Suzune's decision to cut her losses and survive was, undeniably, a good strategy.
It's better than regretting it after losing everything.
Following Aoyama's gaze, Ichinose looked at Ryuen, who was calm and even able to smile, Ryuen, "So Class C is the winner this time? Does that mean Class C and Class D cooperated?"
The Rabbit Group's VIP was Karuizawa from Class D, and it wasn't hard for her to figure this out given Aoyama's comments.
"Right, it seems we don't need to take the exam again the day after tomorrow." Aoyama stretched. Kushida was the VIP from the Dragon Group, so the Ryuen Dragon Group exam would probably end tonight.
Keeping the Dragon Group around won't benefit Class C either; it's better to let things drag on and cause problems.
"Is that so?" Ichinose's mood dipped for a moment.
After the Dragon Group exam ended, she could no longer openly sit with Aoyama, which made her somewhat upset.
Without a valid reason to convince herself, she simply couldn't bring herself to invite Aoyama.
"Class D is just going to give up like this? Looks like I overestimated you, Horikita."
While Ichinose was suffering, Sakayanagi was suffering even more.
Because Ayanokoji was in the Rabbit Group, she immediately asked Machida about the Rabbit Group's situation and quickly learned everything that had happened from him.
With her intelligence, she quickly deduced that this was a collaboration between Class C and Class D, and their target was naturally Class A.
As expected, it was either Takemoto or Morishige, under Ayanokoji's influence, secretly submitted a text message to the school revealing who the VIP was.
"I simply did what's most advantageous for Class D at the moment." Knowing he couldn't hide it from Sakayanagi, Horikita readily admitted to cooperating with Class C, and indeed, as Sakayanagi had predicted, he made significant concessions.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say we admit defeat; how can individual points compare to Class Points?
"Hehehe, by September 1st, Class A will be demoted to Class C." Ryuen said mockingly, looking at Sakayanagi's tense face, stating a fact that the students of Class A found hard to accept.
With one addition and one subtraction, Class C's Class Points will surpass Class A's in September, closely following Class B, who is in first place.
"You dropped in class ranking every time you took Special Exam, Katsuragi, do you have any thoughts on that?" Kaneda adjusted his glasses with his middle finger.
He had long disliked Katsuragi, who considered himself a superior person in Class A, and he didn't know where his arrogance came from.
Even if Class A drops to Class C in this Special Exam, they'll eventually rise back up.
With his arms crossed, Katsuragi calmly answered Kaneda.
He knew that Class C and Class D were cooperating, and although he knew that Class A had lost the Special Exam, he still had confidence in the students in Class A.
Class A remains the strongest overall among the four classes.
If someone can bring them together, then Class A can climb up.
Chapter 158 Giving Horikita a Massage
[The Dragon Group's exam has ended. Dragon Group students do not need to participate in any further exams. Please act carefully and do not disturb other students.]
[The Horse Group's exam is over. Horse Group students do not need to take any further exams. Please be careful and do not disturb other students.]
[The Rat Group's exam is over. Rat Group students do not need to take any more exams. Please move carefully and do not disturb other students.]
[The Boar Group's exam is over. Boar Group students do not need to take any more exams. Please be careful and do not disturb other students.]
[The Tiger Group's exam is over. Tiger Group students do not need to take any more exams. Please be careful and do not disturb other students.]
[The Sheep Group's exam is over. Boar Group students do not need to take any more exams. Please be careful and do not disturb other students.]
Around 9 p. m., the students' phones kept ringing with text message notifications.
Aside from the three groups that were clearly designated as the Class B VIP, plus the "Snake Group" whose VIP were unknown, two-thirds of the twelve groups taking the exam have already finished.
In his room, Aoyama poured Horikita a cup of tea. "How much did Class D earn this time?"
Based on the continuous text messages from the school, he deduced that Class D had sold its own class's VIP, and the buyer could only be Class C from Ryuen.
"Currently, we have 6.5 million points. If the last group in Class C can remain hidden, that would be 7 million."
Without intending to hide anything, Horikita Suzune quickly calculated the number in her mind and told her.
One group has 500,000 points. Today, including the Rabbit Group, seven groups have ended, which is 3.5 million points. Adding the original 3 million, that's 6.5 million.
The Tiger Group and the Sheep Group are both groups where the VIP of Class C reside.
The exam results showed that one student guessed correctly and the other guessed incorrectly. After the results canceled each other out, the Class Points for Class C and Class D remained unchanged.
With only one VIP group left in Class C, no matter how powerful Sakayanagi is, he can only save 50 Class Points for Class A.
With 200 Class Points in hand, Class C will definitely overtake Class A on September 1st, helping Class A drop to Class C.
"So Class D now has ten million in class funds." Aoyama looked at the ice beauty with a mocking expression. Her calm and confident purple-red eyes seemed endlessly captivating.
A look of wariness crossed Horikita's handsome face. "Don't even think about taking advantage of Class D's class funds. I won't trust you so easily again."
"You actually don't trust the successor chosen by your own brother? Suzune, you really disappoint me."
"If there were other candidates, my brother might not have chosen you."
So many days have passed since school started, Horikita Suzune has also realized that it's unclear whether Horikita Manabu likes Aoyama or not, but in fact, he can only choose Aoyama. That's why he's such a hothead, with the courage and ability to go against Nagumo.
The number of second-grade students who were directly or indirectly expelled by Nagumo is not a single number.
Give me ten million, and I'll put you in the Student Council President position.
"I don't want to be the Student Council President if I didn't get the position through my own abilities." Horikita Suzune rolled her eyes at Aoyama. "That post you made on the School Forum yesterday, you were referring to Ayanokoji, right?"
After the exam, she naturally asked the students in the Rabbit Group how it went, and then learned about Ayanokoji's unusual behavior during the exam.
After thinking for a moment, she didn't go to Ayanokoji immediately, but instead went to Ayanokoji special treatment, to ask Aoyama.
Asking questions when you know nothing can lead to being tricked without you even realizing it.
Aoyama sat up slightly. "Trying to get something for nothing? Suzune, you've really gone astray. Horikita President will be heartbroken if he finds out."
"Even if I don't buy it, you'll eventually spread the word to the students in Class D, you know? The hostility is overflowing." Horikita Suzune retorted with a hint of smugness.
Based on her understanding of Aoyama, she was certain that she had guessed Aoyama's thoughts correctly.
Making money was just a side purpose of that post; the real purpose was definitely aimed at the main character of the post.
"You guessed right. As a reward, you can get the answer in exchange for a massage."
"What kind of reward is this?"
She pursed her lips, then followed Horikita Suzune to the Aoyama, watching him lie face down on the bed, his hands wrapped around a pillow, his chin resting on the pillow.
The short-sleeved shirt, which originally looked a bit loose, became tighter due to his movements, revealing glimpses of well-developed back muscles.
You seem to have gotten a bit more muscular.
Horikita had massaged Aoyama countless times, without the slightest bit of shyness. She took off her indoor shoes and climbed onto the bed, placing her palm on Aoyama's back.
Aoyama said in a teasing tone, "So, are you captivated by my hard work?"
"How could that be?" Horikita Suzune retorted decisively. "Tell me in detail about Ayanokoji."
"Don't rush, press it first, then we'll talk."
Unlike before, Aoyama didn't provide Horikita with information while pressing the buttons. This time, Aoyama didn't give any information until Horikita finished pressing the buttons.
When he rolled over and sat up in bed, a hint of displeasure was already showing on Horikita's delicate face.
"It feels much better now, the Suzune is really nice."
Under Horikita's disapproving gaze, Aoyama stretched his arms and then pointed to the spot where he had just been lying.
"Lie down, let me massage you. By the way, I'll tell you about this monster, Ayanokoji." After thinking for a moment, Aoyama decided that he still couldn't call Ayanokoji a human being in his current state.
How can someone without a heart be human? He can only be described as a fake human or a monster.
"No need, I didn't say you had to press it, just tell me directly."
Somewhat surprised and somewhat tempted, Horikita Suzune hesitated for a moment before declining. She felt uncomfortable having Aoyama massage her.
Besides, it's already night, and lying on a boy's bed seems rather inappropriate.
"Lie down." Aoyama's tone left no room for argument.
"You're unwilling to do it without my effort, and why did you suddenly want to press it for me?"
She pursed her lips in rebuttal, then obediently lay down in the spot where Horikita had just Aoyama hugging the pillow with both hands. She clearly smelled an unfamiliar scent mixed with the pillow's original fragrance.
"The moment Ayanokoji Kiyotaka was born, he was sent to Laboratory for what is called the most scientific upbringing, meaning that from the time he was old enough to understand, he received continuous education."
"Is the first sentence of your post true?!"
Horikita gently sniffed the scent of the pillow, entering a strange state she couldn't understand, only snapping back to reality upon hearing Aoyama's report.
To raise children in Laboratory from infancy and have them studied is a complete disregard for humanitarianism.
"Yes, Ayanokoji is the pinnacle of a certain Laboratory. She is proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and can get perfect scores in all subjects. Her athletic ability is also at the level of Koenji."
Through the not-too-thin uniform shirt, Aoyama gently massaged Horikita's smooth, delicate shoulders.
Judging from Ayanokoji's outstanding performance in the Rabbit Group, it's no surprise that he intends to step into the limelight and become one of the people involved in class decision-making.
Chapter 159 I Don't Want to Hate You
"Perfect scores in all subjects?!"
Horikita Suzune, who often scores only in the 90s, understands the horror of getting 100 in all subjects better than any academic underachiever.
She can score over 90 points on the exam because her ability is at that level, while those who score 100 points do so because their test paper only has 100 points.
"And his physical abilities are comparable to those of Koenji, isn't that a bit too outrageous?"
Horikita continued to mutter to herself. Even with all the beauty filters applied to her brother, she couldn't believe that his physical abilities were stronger than those of Koenji, who was two years younger.
Based on her performance in physical education class, she gave birth to a high school student who was perhaps the only one in the entire country as monstrous as Koenji.
"Are you tempted to recruit him to help the class?" Aoyama tightened his grip on Horikita's shoulder, snapping him out of his shock.
The students in the Kouiku are categorized by their card game rank. On the surface, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka is an SSR, which is equivalent to the class leader of the card game players. It's impossible for him not to be attracted to an SSR.
Many class leaders themselves do not possess the abilities required for an SSR (Super Score) level.
Horikita frowned slightly. "If we could get Ayanokoji to contribute to the class, that would certainly be a good thing for Class D, but I don't think that'll be easy to do."
Having learned from the example of the Koenji, she wasn't naive enough to think that she could intimidate Ayanokouji and Ayanokoji instantly submit.
The Laboratory was researched about an unusual past, and Aoyama's undisguised hostility, coupled with his association with the Three Idiots in class, made him appear the most subservient.
Ayanokoji to get along with.
"He's already doing his part for the class, under my coercion." Aoyama smiled mockingly; even unintentional coercion is still coercion.
"What do you mean? You coerced Ayanokoji to work for Class D? Why?"
Horikita Suzune desperately wanted to turn over and see Aoyama's expression, but unfortunately, those two strong hands pressed her back down whenever she made a move.
Despite her decent physical abilities, she was utterly powerless against Aoyama.
"You're not done yet, don't rush."
With his five fingers together, Aoyama used his left hand to slowly move downwards along Horikita's spine, seemingly without any intention of stopping.
As Horikita's body tensed even more, and she unconsciously bit her lip in preparation for resistance, the large hand finally stopped at her waist and then slowly moved upwards.
"Ayanokoji is the kind of person who is very insecure. He wouldn't allow someone like me, who is hostile to him, to gradually take control of his class, so he decided to make his move."
"If nothing unexpected happens, he will gradually demonstrate his abilities and then gather a few useful assistants in the class."
