Winning Over Class C / Horikita Suzune's Simplicity

Even though Sakayanagi is the leader of Class A, Nagumo wouldn't lend money to private individuals casually, let alone as much as ten million.

"He also took advantage of Nagumo's fear of you. Nagumo is very wary of you, especially after he found out that you were hanging out with Ichinose, the leader of Class B, and Horikita, the leader of Class D."

"After I told him that Shiina, the strategist of Class C Ryuen, is also a very good friend of yours, his wariness reached its peak."

As a student in Class A, he had close ties with the leaders of Classes Class B and Class D, and his relationship with the second-in-command of Class C was also ambiguous.

The greater Aoyama's influence in the first year, the more wary Nagumo became.

The Student Council President election is all about who has the most votes. If Aoyama can get the support of the entire first year, plus Horikita Manabu campaigning for him in the third year, then it's impossible for Nagumo not to lose.

Aoyama continued, "What is the latest repayment date?"

He felt that this money was destined for him.

Chapter 165 Winning Over Class C

"What do you think I should tell you?"

Sakayanagi replied sadly, realizing from Aoyama's change in attitude that she was no longer being treated as an enemy.

The reason why the mockery wasn't launched when the students from Class A were all present is most likely due to this.

"Telling me won't hurt you." Sensing that Sakayanagi's resistance wasn't strong, Aoyama continued to press.

Although it's all money, Nagumo's money is different from other people's money. He'd be happier if he could steal it, and it would also be more advantageous for him to attack Nagumo's money.

Nagumo, who holds a large sum of money, is the king of the second year; Nagumo without money is merely the leader of Class A.

"Six months."

"Very good, are you interested in taking on Nagumo?"

Sakayanagi pursed her lips. "Why do you think I'd be interested right now?"

She just finished playing video games, but the culprit acted like it didn't matter and wanted to team up with her to swindle other people out of their money.

This left her with very mixed feelings, and she even felt that it would be better to Aoyama they're down than to let them live in peace.

"If you're still interested, contact me again. There's plenty of time."

With a smile, Aoyama beckoned Kamuro to leave the meeting room together. As they stepped into the corridor, he found Katsuragi leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.

When the three of them came out, Katsuragi simply nodded to them and then closed his eyes again.

Should we give Sakayanagi some talk therapy to stop her from causing trouble?

Guessing Katsuragi's purpose, Aoyama started making phone calls as he walked. Ten minutes later, at his urging, the leaders of the other three first-year classes quickly arrived and met at a small shop with few students.

"Aoyama -kun has become the leader of Class A. I feel a little complicated." Ichinose, who brought Kanzaki along, had a bittersweet smile on her face, just like always.

Now that Aoyama has become the leader of Class A, it's unclear whether he'll deliberately avoid her to avoid any appearance of impropriety.

"I won't let you win so easily next time."

"I hope you can bring me even more joy, Aoyama."

After Horikita Suzune, who only brought Hirata, spoke, Ryuen, who brought four people and had the largest Ryuen, also casually spoke, regarding Aoyama as a challenger.

After Class A was demoted to Class C, their primary enemy was naturally Class B from Ryuen, who had been trampling on their shoulders.

"For the remaining Snake Group, I want to achieve result one: we'll split the school's money together." Aoyama got straight to the point, stating the purpose of gathering the group.

According to the contract, he and Class B were not allowed to interfere with the exams of other groups besides VIP Class B, so he also called Class C, whose results were not needed, to discuss the matter.

The Snake Group is a large group with fourteen people. If they achieve the goal, they can get 7.5 million personal points from the school.

Ryuen turned his gaze to Horikita. "What does the contract say?"

According to the previous agreement, all the profits of Class C's Snake Group would go to Class D. He was willing to work for free and give Class D a large sum of money, so he preferred to lose both sides.

"All we need is 500,000 points."

Without insisting on the so-called spirit of the contract, Horikita quickly gave her own answer. She understood that no matter what, Ryuen would not work for free.

"Class A and Class B have four people in the Snake Group, so dividing the extra million shouldn't be a problem, right?" Having gotten the answer he wanted, Ryuen began to haggle over every penny.

Just by saying a few words, you can potentially get over 200,000 more points, so it doesn't matter if you seem a bit stingy.

"Class A is fine."

"Class B is fine too."

Since it was a normal transaction and not considered illicit money, Aoyama didn't care about the loss of less than a few hundred thousand yen. After he expressed his opinion, Class B also agreed.

Drafting the contract and having a teacher witness it took almost half an hour to complete the whole process.

"I still have matters to discuss with Ryuen."

After signing the contract, Aoyama used the excuse of having something to discuss with Ryuen to leave Ryuen's Class C alone, and then sent Ishizaki and the others aside, leaving only Shiina by Ryuen's side.

"You don't mind if I search you, Ryuen?"

Having learned from Sakayanagi's mistake, Aoyama didn't want to cause any more trouble, as it wouldn't be good for word to get out about his upcoming talks with Ryuen.

The Student Council elections are in mid-October, a few days after the Sports Festival ends, and now is the time for him to prepare.

"No problem, I'd like to see what you want to talk to me about, why are you being so cautious?" Ryuen stood up with his arms outstretched, looking as if he could search him at will.

Then, Aoyama actually found a working voice recorder on Ryuen's body.

"You actually searched?"

Aoyama chuckled, "Well, you actually brought it with you."

The first body search yielded results; it truly lives up to its reputation as Ryuen.

"What about me? Should we ask Yamamura to search me?" Shiina looked up at Aoyama, who was still standing, with expectant eyes.

She also wanted to experience the novelty of being searched.

"If Shiina wants to try it, I'll search for it myself."

"Then forget it."

"Abnormal."

As Shiina immediately pouted, Kamuro also suddenly launched into an insult.

At the same time, Yamamura pursed his lips and tugged at Aoyama's sleeve.

"It was just a joke." After a faint smile, Aoyama's expression turned serious. "I want Class C to support me as the next Student Council leader. If I succeed, the vice president position will go to Shiina."

"At the same time, I will also grant Shiina full access to the Student Council President's authority."

Aoyama, not wanting to deceive Ryuen, offered ample benefits to Class C, knowing that Longyuan wouldn't act without expecting something in return.

The leader of Class D, Horikita Suzune, is not difficult to win over, out of respect for her brother, Horikita Manabu. Ichinose Class B is also on good terms with him, so persuading him won't be difficult either.

Of the other three first-grade classes, only Class C was the most difficult to manage.

"What benefits does the power of the Student Council President bring to Class C, Shiina?" Ryuen believed that it was best to ask someone with expertise about such matters, and Shiina, as a member of the Student Council, certainly knew more than he did.

"We can get some information about the Special Exam in advance, and we can also make suggestions for the school's Special Exam, such as changing the Special Exam that focus more on teamwork to those that focus more on individual ability."

"Normally, we can communicate directly with the school and even get to the point of revising some school rules."

"In disputes between students, the Student Council President is ultimately the one who makes the final decision."

With a thoughtful look on her cute face, Shiina shared her understanding of the Student Council President. Having been in the Student Council for so long, she had learned a lot from the rivalry between Nagumo and Horikita Manabu.

After becoming the Student Council President, Nagumo will make suggestions to the school and promote more radical Special Exam. These Special Exam will result in more dropouts, and the more outstanding elite students will benefit more.

Horikita Manabu hopes that the school will maintain its previous policy, Special Exam, emphasizing class cooperation and working together to make progress, so that no one can carry the class to success.

"Modify the school rules?" Ryuen recalled his failed plan to collect 800 million personal points so that everyone could graduate from Class A.

He wouldn't have abandoned his plan without a second thought if the restrictions hadn't been introduced suddenly.

Chapter 166 The Innocent Horikita Suzune

"Can the Student Council President really change the school rules?" Ryuen became interested.

"It's difficult, but not impossible."

"The mere possibility is astonishing."

Ryuen wasn't too disappointed with Aoyama's answer; after all, students are students, and are naturally in a disadvantaged position.

Compared to other schools, the Student Council at this school wields power that is almost excessive.

"Class C can support you, but I also want to join the Student Council. Give me the position of Student Council Vice President."

After a moment of silence, Ryuen made a startling statement, suggesting that Aoyama revise the offered reward again.

Although he still trusted Shiina, he wouldn't put all his eggs in one basket, so he decided to keep the power in his own hands.

Aoyama's reason for wanting to become Student Council President is probably that he wants to use his power to manipulate the rules of the Special Exam then make a fortune from them, given the increased rewards.

Although Nagumo might get a lot of gold coins, it would never be more than what they could get together, so he decided to support Aoyama as the Student Council President.

Ryuen becomes the Student Council Vice President?

Sensing that Horikita Manabu might have something to say, Aoyama's lips curled up slightly. "Sure, once I become the Student Council president, I'll immediately bring you into the Student Council you the position of vice president."

Ryuen understands him, and he naturally understands Ryuen as well.

As long as there's a tacit understanding between the school and the government to make money, everything is negotiable.

With a sinister smile, Aoyama continued, "Nagumo will definitely try his best to win you over, so just keep throwing gold coins at him, the more the better."

He considered Class C as his backup plan, and therefore did not intend to let Ryuen immediately raise a clear banner in support of him.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll actually be won over by Nagumo?" Ryuen also put on a sinister smile.

"Support Nagumo, he only treats you like a dog; support me, and I'll treat you as a partner." Aoyama remained calm. "I still trust you for now, Ryuen."

"If you're so short-sighted as to try and trip me up during the election, then I can only say I misjudged you."

"I believe that even if Akito is going to betray, they will only do so when the benefits are sufficient and when it is most crucial."

Even though he lost his position Student Council President, he was still the Student Council Vice President, and Nagumo could not dismiss or strip him of his position without cause.

A local official is more powerful than a distant one.

Ryuen, who was in the same grade as him, wouldn't want to offend him to death.

"Trust me? If you really trusted me, you wouldn't have searched me." Ryuen sneered, bringing up the old matter again. "But if you want me to get more Nagumo gold coins, then targeting you is necessary."

"Fifty-five."

"Nine-one."

"82."

With a sinister smile, the two men clasped hands together, and Aoyama and Ryuen agreed on a 20/80 split between Aoyama and Ryuen.

For the first time, without the constraints of a contract, he reached a cooperation agreement with Ryuen.

After Ryuen and the others left, Kamuro, a smile on his face, suddenly spoke up, "You and Ryuen seem to get along very well. How about you make him your first boyfriend?"

Aoyama couldn't help but immediately complain, "Don't omit the keywords, or your Chinese teacher will cry."

"I also think that Aoyama and Ryuen seem to get along really well," Yamamura whispered in support of Kamuro's opinion.

"You're getting bolder and bolder, my little Yamamura."

Following the rule of picking the softest persimmon, Aoyama immediately placed his hands on Yamamura's waist, followed by the punishment of being tickled to hell.

Through the exquisitely fabric of the dress, he carefully felt the softness and delicacy of the Yamamura's waist.

"Ha--ha no--"

Suppressed laughter rang out intermittently until Yamamura laughed until tears streamed down her face, and she collapsed limply into his arms. Only then did Aoyama release the pitiful girl.

"Want to go see a play together? There's a performance at the theater today, I think it's called something like 'The Wings of Icarus'," Aoyama suggested to Kamuro, supporting the weak and shy Yamamura.

He had originally planned to spend some quality time with Yamamura today, and Yamamura was wearing a beautiful dress that wasn't suitable for exercise.

The unexpected class meeting canceled their plans for today.

With Kamuro also present, we can't just leave her out and say we won't include her in the game.

"Let's go see it together then." Having never gone to the theater with friends before, Kamuro nodded in agreement as usual.

Twenty minutes before the play started, the three of them went to the theater together.

On the other side.
