"Surrender to Ryuen Kakeru? Hmm... that's definitely not going to work."
He thought about it.
Prince Ganlongdao shook his head helplessly.
"In that case, how about I just break Ryuen Kakeru's legs on my way out of the school?"
"What?"
Kazuma Sakagami was shocked, looking at him in disbelief.
"Have you lost your mind? That wouldn't just mean expulsion; you'd be facing criminal charges."
"What's there to be afraid of?"
Prince Ganlongdao shrugged indifferently:
"With my family background, smoothing over something like that couldn't be easier."
"Huh?"
Kazuma Sakagami paused.
He remembered that the section for Prince Ganlongdao's parents on his file listed them as self-employed bubble tea shop owners.
So why did it sound like...
Prince Ganlongdao was implying he had some other kind of background?
In reality.
Given Prince Ganlongdao's family background.
It was naturally impossible for him to write his true experiences on a resume.
The only person in the entire school who knew his true identity and history was likely the principal.
Ordinary people might have heard of Yamaguchi at most, but very few knew what the second-largest yakuza organization in the country was.
Except for people like Ishizaki, who already had some slight understanding of the yakuza, 'Elites' like Kazuma Sakagami had never even heard of yakuza organizations, let alone one from Hokkaido.
However.
After thinking about it.
Kazuma Sakagami felt it made sense.
No matter how much parents who ran a bubble tea shop doted on their child, they probably couldn't raise someone this arrogant; Prince Ganlongdao likely did have some background.
Thinking of this.
Kazuma Sakagami's expression became hesitant.
If Prince Ganlongdao really did have some background, breaking someone's legs might not actually be a big problem.
Ryuen Kakeru was indeed right about one thing.
As time passed, the pressure Prince Ganlongdao had to face would only grow.
But Ryuen Kakeru had made one miscalculation.
Teachers?
Teachers don't mean a damn thing!
Teachers are human too!
Kazuma Sakagami also had his own interests to consider.
In his eyes.
Prince Ganlongdao and Ryuen Kakeru.
Both of them were rare, exceptional talents!
As long as he could get the class to rise to Class A, it didn't matter who was the boss.
Either way, both were outstanding enough.
If it really didn't work out, it wouldn't matter if he had to discard one of them.
Kazuma Sakagami could assume Prince Ganlongdao would use violence, or he could make him reach a truce with Ryuen Kakeru.
However, right now.
Prince Ganlongdao was actually suggesting he would break Ryuen Kakeru's legs when he left, and during the time Ryuen Kakeru was recovering, the gap between them and the other classes would likely have already widened.
To lose two major generals at once—how would they ever rise to Class A then?
Kazuma Sakagami immediately felt hesitant.
Watching the complex expression on Kazuma Sakagami's face, Prince Ganlongdao's lips curled up slightly.
He who has no desires is strong!
Although he also had his own goals, he had to dominate Advanced Nurturing.
But Prince Ganlongdao would never let his enemies know what he was thinking.
Otherwise.
Even though Kazuma Sakagami was a teacher.
He could only be manipulated like this, just as he was now.
Of course.
Out of consideration for Sakagami's status as a teacher.
Prince Ganlongdao naturally wouldn't make things too difficult for him.
"Don't be so worried, Sakagami."
Prince Ganlongdao put his arm around Kazuma Sakagami and patted his shoulder, while his other hand reached out in front of him and slowly clenched into a fist, saying coldly:
"You only need to know one thing."
"No matter what kind of difficulties or gaps exist, the one who will emerge victorious in the end is me, and that is enough!"
"..."
Kazuma Sakagami turned his head abruptly and glanced at Prince Ganlongdao beside him.
It was incomprehensible.
How could this guy be so confident when he clearly didn't know anything?
In reality.
The importance of rising to Class A was far greater to Kazuma Sakagami than Prince Ganlongdao and the others could imagine.
After all.
It was tied to Kazuma Sakagami's substantial bonus.
If the class failed to graduate as Class A, he would only be left with his base salary.
Although the base salary at Advanced Nurturing was not low, considering the costs of buying a house and a car, Kazuma Sakagami naturally wanted more.
To Sakagami.
This was no longer just a matter of money; it was equivalent to wasting three years of his life!
Only time was priceless!
Therefore.
Kazuma Sakagami cherished every opportunity.
Even if he was looked down upon by other teachers, he would still protect the students of his class for the sake of his own interests.
How could he possibly believe Prince Ganlongdao's words so easily?
Kazuma Sakagami asked in a deep voice:
"What makes you so sure?"
"Sure?"
Prince Ganlongdao looked at him with slight confusion.
"Sakagami, don't misunderstand. I am not giving you any guarantees; I am telling you a fact. No matter what disadvantages we have, or what kind of difficulties await us."
"As long as you stand with me, there will be no rivals before us!"
"What?"
Hearing this.
Kazuma Sakagami felt his heart surge, but it was only for a moment.
He then laughed in sheer anger.
What a joke.
Only now did he remember that this guy was not just ordinarily arrogant.
Asking was a waste of time.
Based on Prince Ganlongdao's performance at the start of the school year, Kazuma Sakagami believed he was certainly not weak.
However.
When it came down to it.
Only one week had passed.
So far, Prince Ganlongdao had yet to produce any tangible results.
How was Kazuma Sakagami supposed to believe that Prince Ganlongdao could definitely lead the class to graduate as Class A?
More importantly.
What if too many class points were deducted in the first month, creating an insurmountable gap with the other classes?
The difficulty ahead would only increase exponentially.
Thinking of this.
Kazuma Sakagami was truly feeling a bit irritable.
But upon closer reflection.
Looking at the arrogant expression on Prince Ganlongdao's face, Kazuma Sakagami felt truly helpless.
He realized.
He had absolutely no way to deal with Prince Ganlongdao!
Trusting Prince Ganlongdao.
Might lead to death!
Not trusting Prince Ganlongdao.
Siding with Ryuen to force Prince Ganlongdao to concede or even drop out.
Given Prince Ganlongdao's absolutely self-centered personality.
That would likely lead to certain death as well.
Aside from trusting Prince Ganlongdao and providing support from behind the scenes.
Kazuma Sakagami realized.
In front of Prince Ganlongdao, even he, as a teacher, had no room for choice.
However.
Without any foundation of trust or any guarantees, this was merely a collaboration born of desperation.
This made Kazuma Sakagami truly irritable and extremely displeased.
He was no longer as polite toward Prince Ganlongdao.
"Ganlongdao, you had better keep your word. Otherwise, with your current way of doing things, if you don't graduate from Class A, I'm afraid you'll be beaten to death by Ryuen and his group!"
Having said that.
Kazuma Sakagami snorted coldly and turned to walk into the elevator.
Since there was no choice, he would see whether Prince Ganlongdao was just a superficial fraud or if he truly possessed the strength to match his arrogance!
After he left.
Prince Ganlongdao turned his head to glance at Ryuen's dormitory.
Although he had only gone to the club orientation to observe briefly and hadn't seen the leaders of the other classes, the person who interested him most in this university at the moment was actually Ryuen Kakeru.
He hadn't expected.
Ryuen would actually be able to hold on until now, seemingly without any signs of fear at all.
It was truly a bit unexpected.
However, the stronger the opponent, the more excited he became!
