Setting the Rules and Dividing the Spoils

In the corner of the classroom.

Watching the scene unfold before him, Kazuma Sakagami looked visibly excited.

To be honest.

As an adult teacher.

He didn't really understand much about organizational structures and the like.

But seeing those with poor academic performance acting as if they'd been injected with adrenaline, all calculating how to spend those 100,000 Private Points.

After all.

They weren't just poor students.

They simply had a lot of room for improvement.

Naturally, it was easier for them to win the improvement award than anyone else.

This scene.

Kazuma Sakagami, who had been teaching for so many years, had never seen before.

Over these many years.

He had seen many strong individuals.

Or those who could see through some of the school's rules in just a few days.

But this was the first time Kazuma Sakagami had seen someone act like Prince Ganlongdao.

Doing nothing himself.

Instead, finding ways to mobilize the enthusiasm of others.

Yet, for the moment.

The results seemed quite impressive.

The dissatisfaction he had originally felt toward Prince Ganlongdao had faded significantly, but then, Kazuma Sakagami felt a bit annoyed again.

This Prince Ganlongdao was good at everything.

Except for actually doing his job!

Was helping them reach Class A supposed to be a disservice to them?

It was all for the sake of these students!

Was it easy for him, a teacher?

No.

He had to find a way.

To mobilize Prince Ganlongdao's enthusiasm!

On the other side.

Hearing Prince Ganlongdao's words.

Kaneda pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and glanced at Dragon Garden with a mocking smile.

"No problem, I think even Albert would be more suitable than him."

"..."

Dragon Garden stared coldly at Prince Ganlongdao.

He completely ignored the words of Kaneda and the others.

For someone like Kaneda.

A couple of beatings would be enough to see if he'd still act up.

Prince Ganlongdao, however, surprised him a little.

He had originally thought Prince Ganlongdao was just a hedonist who only cared about his own pleasure, yet he was actually using this method to mobilize the class's enthusiasm.

Heh.

Dragon Garden sneered to himself.

He couldn't say that Prince Ganlongdao's method was useless!

He could only say.

Perhaps this method was indeed more beneficial for the class.

However.

Even without using such methods.

Dragon Garden was still confident that he could lead the class to Class A on his own.

Prince Ganlongdao's method was simply an unnecessary complication.

Little Doyle~

"In that case, does everyone have any objections?"

Prince Ganlongdao swept his gaze across the people below.

Those with poor academic ability could strive for the improvement award, while those with good academic ability could aim for the position of subject representative; naturally, no one would have any objections.

Even if some of the mid-tier students felt a bit dissatisfied.

The entirety of Class C.

Almost everyone with any capability had already been bought over by him, so the others naturally couldn't say anything.

The new system was quickly and unanimously approved by everyone.

But this group of people also needed to be appeased.

Most importantly.

The division of responsibilities needed to be clearly defined.

"But these points aren't just for free."

Prince Ganlongdao paced back and forth on the podium, his gaze sweeping over Kaneda and the others as he said coldly:

"Since I have become the class monitor, my duty is to lead you all to graduate from Class A, and you must obey all my orders unconditionally."

"If we fail to promote to Class A in the end, you can come looking for me."

"However."

As he spoke.

Prince Ganlongdao shifted his tone, turning his head to look at Kaneda:

"If there are any problems with academics, then naturally it is the responsibility of you, Kaneda, as the study committee member! At the same time, you also have the responsibility to help others improve their academic performance."

"Huh? Wait a second."

Kaneda slammed the table, looking dumbfounded: "Are you kidding me? How could I possibly tutor so many people by myself?"

"Who told you to tutor them yourself?"

Prince Ganlongdao glanced at him.

"If you don't have enough manpower, then go find others, for example, let the subject representatives help; I give you that authority. In short, the method doesn't matter—whether you teach them yourself or have others teach them, I only look at the results!"

"If the class runs into trouble because of academic issues, for instance, if someone drops out because of the midterm exams, then I will hold you accountable!"

"Of course, if you feel you can't do it, you can still give up now."

"How about it?"

"I'll do it!"

Kaneda gritted his teeth.

How could he be willing to give up the benefits already in his hands?

Besides.

It's just tutoring people with their schoolwork, right?

He could just find the ones who are good at studying to tutor the ones who are bad at it!

Whether he used Prince Ganlongdao's name to throw his weight around or found other methods, those were Kaneda's own means; Prince Ganlongdao only looked at the results.

Thwack.

Prince Ganlongdao threw another piece of chalk at Kaneda's head and said coldly:

"I wasn't asking if you would do it; if you don't, there are plenty of people who will. The one thing Class C doesn't lack is people. I was asking if you can get it done!"

"I can get it done!"

"Very good, that's what you said."

Prince Ganlongdao nodded with satisfaction: "If you can't get it done, don't blame me for being unkind to you later."

"..."

Kaneda, Ryuen, and the others were momentarily stunned.

What a beast!

Isn't this just you forcing people to say that?

But words spoken are like spilled water; since Kaneda was red-faced and unable to go back on his word, having given his guarantee, he naturally had to take responsibility.

As for Prince Ganlongdao?

He had already made a promise.

He would naturally also take responsibility for leading everyone to graduate from Class A.

In the unlikely event he couldn't do it.

He also had the ability to provide a safety net for everyone in the class.

If all else failed, sending these people to sell arms would still count as a high-paying job that could support a family.

As long as a promise was made, and no wordplay was involved, and it did not significantly harm his own interests, Prince Ganlongdao still had a conscience and could be counted on to keep his word.

"If any problems arise regarding physical fitness, that will be your responsibility, Dragon Garden. The same goes for everyone else; every person who took the points must shoulder the responsibility. Keep the power and the accountability clear, understand?"

"Understood!"

"Good."

Seeing this, Prince Ganlongdao nodded in satisfaction and smiled:

"Sakagami, start the class."

"Uh..."

Watching Prince Ganlongdao return to his seat, Kazuma Sakagami was left speechless.

Who exactly is the teacher here, him or me?

However, as long as it was beneficial to the class, Kazuma Sakagami could tolerate it.

What's more, the Class Points were currently at zero.

Let them deduct away.

It was already at rock bottom anyway.

Since he couldn't resist, he might as well learn to enjoy it.

As soon as class ended, Kaneda stood up and flashed a look of disdain:

"Dragon Garden, don't you think Albert is more suited for the position of Sports Representative than you? Be smart and step down yourself, otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite."

"..."

Dragon Garden swept a cold gaze over Kaneda, then stood up, walked over to him, and threw a punch, pinning Kaneda to the ground to beat him.

"You bastard."

While blocking Dragon Garden's fists, a look of malice flashed in Kaneda's eyes:

"You animal, Dragon Garden! You skipped class for a month and ruined our class like this, and now you still dare to hit me? F*** you—ow, ow, ow! Stop hitting me! Don't just stand there watching, you guys!"

Watching the scene unfold, Albert looked a bit nervous.

"BOSS."

"Prince Brother."

Ishizaki, standing to the side, was also worried: "Will that be okay?"

"What could possibly happen?"

Looking at Kaneda being pinned to the ground, Prince Ganlongdao said indifferently:

"Whether you stand on Kaneda's side or Dragon Garden's side is your own freedom. Do whatever you want."

Kaneda and Dragon Garden.

The two of them might not necessarily be the strongest, but they were certainly the two most ambitious.

Regardless of how many people they could manage, it was a testament to their individual strength.

Of course, at the appropriate time, Prince Ganlongdao would help Kaneda tip the scales, otherwise, he felt that Kaneda would be beaten to death by Dragon Garden before long.

The harder the two fought, the more stable his own position of rule would be.

"Stop, Dragon Garden."

Albert pressed down on Dragon Garden's shoulder and then muttered to Kaneda in a muffled voice:

"Kaneda, thank you for your good intentions, but I have no interest in the position of Sports Representative. Let Dragon Garden keep the position!"

Smack!

Before he could finish his sentence.

He felt a sharp pain in his ankle.

Albert looked at Dragon Garden, stunned by the sudden kick.

What is the meaning of this?

I'm helping you, and you hit me?

However.

His only response was another punch from Dragon Garden, who simultaneously kicked Kaneda as he tried to stand, then shot a cold glare at Ishizaki, who was attempting to step forward.

I can't handle the Prince.

But I can't even handle you lot?

Since I can't be the boss for now.

Then I'll be the second-in-command!

I'll beat this bunch into submission first.
