After Prince Ganlongdao left the classroom.

The crowd finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Saki Yamashita said with some relief:

"I originally thought we would receive Private Points today, and I hadn't saved a single point. Thankfully, Prince Brother collected all the Private Points from the class beforehand, or else I wouldn't have known what to do this month."

"Yeah, at first I thought Prince Brother was just looking for an excuse to embezzle those Private Points. I didn't expect them to actually be useful, and he really did keep them safe."

"I feel like I was a bit narrow-minded, judging a gentleman by my own petty standards. But it really is thanks to Prince Brother for keeping our Private Points safe right from the start of the semester."

"Otherwise, given my personality, I definitely wouldn't have been able to save a single point, and I'd be eating dirt this month~"

"But now that the Class Points have dropped to zero, this isn't a sustainable solution, right?"

Her words.

Soon drew agreement from quite a few people.

If Prince Ganlongdao hadn't coordinated all the Private Points in advance, most of them probably wouldn't have had a single point left.

They had originally assumed he had some selfish motive.

They hadn't expected that Prince Ganlongdao would actually be able to save them.

However.

The crowd was more concerned about what they should do in the future.

With the fifty thousand Private Points each person was holding, even with a bit of frugality, it would only last them two months at most. After that, they would have to find their own ways to survive.

Furthermore.

The first-place Class A now had 940 Class Points.

This gap was enough to make people feel desperate.

It was practically a death sentence.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they had lost the qualifications to be promoted to Class A.

Once such a thought took root.

There was only one possible outcome left.

"It's all that guy Dragon Garden's fault."

Someone said with a face full of resentment, and others immediately chimed in.

"Damn it, if it weren't for that guy Dragon Garden skipping class all the time, how could we have been deducted down to zero?"

"It's true."

Shiho Manabe also looked thoroughly annoyed: "The advantage Prince Brother worked so hard to build up has all been wasted by that guy."

At this moment.

No one bothered to refute Shiho Manabe.

In truth, even if they subtracted Dragon Garden's truancy.

With as many as 70 instances of tardiness and nearly three hundred instances of slacking off in class.

Class C's Class Points wouldn't have been high anyway.

However.

The truth was not important.

The crowd simply needed an outlet for their frustrations.

Pushing all the problems onto Dragon Garden was the right thing to do!

This was human nature.

No one would think it was their own problem; they would only push all the responsibility onto others.

And Dragon Garden, who had now skipped class for a full 30 days.

Was the perfect outlet.

Another group was like Kaneda, unwilling to acknowledge their status as Class C students.

He believed he was merely being dragged down by thugs like Dragon Garden and Prince Ganlongdao; otherwise, he would surely be an elite talent in Class A. He was unwilling to admit his own flaws.

Many people had a misunderstanding.

It wasn't that whoever was the boss had to be obeyed, But rather that because most people listened to him, he was the boss.

On this point.

The existence of Shiho Manabe was very important!

She liked to show off.

Not just showing off her bags and cosmetics, but she also liked to show off her boyfriend.

Every time she showed off, she would exaggerate the contributions of Prince Ganlongdao.

As long as there are a few occasions where no one objects.

Whether it is out of a sense of face or anything else.

Naturally, Prince Ganlongdao will become the true leader of Class C, and a leader who is subconsciously supported by the masses.

Many boys are not originally popular.

But once the topic of girlfriends comes up, they are suddenly fought over by all the girls.

This is one of the reasons.

Having a woman who likes to show off her boyfriend at all times is not necessarily a good thing.

But it is certainly very comfortable.

On the other side.

Dormitory building, Dragon Garden's room.

Dragon Garden leaned against his bed, his face already covered in a thick beard.

Only his eyes remained sharp.

After all.

During this period.

Aside from reading, he only exercised.

Dragon Garden did not slack off at all.

His physical fitness and academic grades had actually improved quite a bit.

None of that mattered, though.

Dragon Garden looked at the student ID terminal in his hand.

The Private Points displayed on it were zero.

Last month's Private Points had been snatched away by Prince Ganlongdao, who would toss him some instant noodles, bread, and drinks every few days, and this month's points had not yet arrived.

He had been absent from class for a month.

He had been completely isolated from the outside world, losing all information and intelligence.

However.

Looking at the zeroed-out points.

Dragon Garden's eyes shone, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

He was not so naive as to think this was a mistake by those above.

Without a doubt.

There must be some rule.

That caused the points he received this month to be zero.

However.

The possibility that this rule only targeted him alone was very low, to the point of being almost impossible.

Otherwise.

Kazuma Sakagami could not have dropped those various hints, nor could he have come to visit him looking so furious; it could basically be determined that it was related to the class.

It was easy to judge.

The possibility that the entire class had not received any points was extremely high.

Then.

The pressure Prince Ganlongdao was facing must be unimaginable.

A tyrant is only tolerated as long as that power remains meaningful.

Regardless of the reasons, regardless of the excuses.

Having led the class into such a mess.

Naturally, no one would obey him.

As a leader, one must naturally bear the responsibility of leadership.

Dragon Garden had the pride of a tyrant.

However.

What he did not know was.

Prince Ganlongdao did not have such pride.

Taking the blame?

That does not exist.

Prince Ganlongdao would only pin the blame on him.

In his eyes.

A leader must ensure their own perfection and flawlessness.

Only after failure would they use violence to suppress the situation.

Maintaining the reserve of a tyrant.

Is merely a waste of time, a form of self-indulgence.

Victory is victory!

There is no room for romance, filth, or reserve; being able to win is everything.

Things were moving in a direction completely opposite to what Ryuen imagined.

There were only two reasons for this.

He had not expected Prince Ganlongdao to successfully coordinate the class's Private Points by the second day.

Although it was just good luck.

This kind of god-like foresight in advance planning instead filled Ishizaki and the others with gratitude.

Secondly.

It was that Ryuen had severely underestimated the importance of reputation.

Back at the start of the school year, Prince Ganlongdao's several mocking displays had already "stigmatized" Ryuen.

Although Ryuen acted tough.

Under the guidance of Prince Ganlongdao, he was made to look as ridiculous as a clown.

Coupled with the fact that he had skipped class for a month.

No one held any awe for Ryuen; instead, he was viewed by outsiders as a weakling who could be trampled upon at will.

Anyone dared to make up stories about Ryuen.

Anyone could dump the blame on him.

However.

Isolated from external information, Ryuen could not imagine any of this.

Instead, he felt that he was about to win.

Just then.

The sound of a lock turning echoed from outside the door.

Back at the start of the school year.

His Private Points, room key, and everything else had been taken away by Prince Ganlongdao.

Ryuen naturally knew who was opening the door.

A trace of a smile appeared in his viper-like pupils.

He was going to win!
