Is Ibuki Mio a Scumbag Girl?

After school.

Keyaki Mall karaoke.

Prince Ganlongdao invited everyone in the class to sing in the name of Dragon Garden's return.

The points were paid out of the class fund.

At this moment.

Prince Ganlongdao sat in the very center, leaning back against the sofa while enjoying the performance of Shiho Manabe and the others on stage.

Naturally, he didn't want to sing for no reason.

He was observing the reactions of these people to categorize them and screen for talent.

A single karaoke session, could actually reveal quite a lot.

Participation was voluntary.

There were the mavericks who simply didn't show up, represented by Kaneda and Ibuki Mio.

However.

These people often possessed superior individual abilities.

Dragon Garden also belonged to this type of person.

Only those with solid strength had the courage to be mavericks.

These people were better suited for tasks requiring quick wit.

Next.

There were the honest types represented by Hidetoshi Suzuki.

They sat quietly in the corner of the private room, eating snacks and playing on their phones.

Even though they didn't want to come, they were hindered by social obligations, interpersonal relationships, or fear of the prestige of Prince Ganlongdao, among other things.

Regardless of the various miscellaneous reasons.

They still reluctantly attended this voluntary gathering.

These honest types.

Were better suited for logistics or technical work.

Tasks like heavy labor could all be pushed onto them.

Finally.

There were those represented by Shiho Manabe and the others.

Extroverted people who naturally loved to show themselves off.

These people.

Were better suited for gathering intelligence and liaising with other classes.

Ability was a secondary issue.

If all else failed, they could target the honest types in other classes, force them into a conversation, and the other party would eventually feel so awkward that they would reluctantly spill information.

If you target the honest ones, you can always dig up something!

However.

That being said.

Dragon Garden had now returned to school and had already admitted defeat.

Today, with so many new class rules established, most people were in a state of great joy.

Yet.

The system didn't even beep once.

It really left Prince Ganlongdao speechless; these bastards were truly only paying lip service.

Taking the benefits without doing the work.

Forget it.

At the very least, Dragon Garden had publicly acknowledged him as the class leader.

That left only one person!

Ibuki Mio!

Only Ibuki Mio, had yet to acknowledge his status as the class leader.

Ibuki Mio would agree to certain measures that were genuinely beneficial to the class.

For instance, she had no objections to the consolidation of Class Points or the current initiative to assign class roles; in fact, she was among the first to agree to them.

However.

Not agreeing that he was the class leader meant she simply didn't agree.

She would support his policies.

This was mainly because the methods used by Prince Ganlongdao were indeed good for the class, even if the current results didn't look particularly impressive, but Ibuki Mio naturally had her own judgment.

The two of them didn't act like a class leader and a student.

They were more like business partners.

Whether or not to do something was entirely up to Ibuki Mio's own discretion.

How could that possibly work?

He had finally reached the very last one.

Prince Ganlongdao was still waiting for the system lottery.

Although he was already quite strong, who would ever complain about being too powerful?

What's more.

Perhaps he might even draw some supernatural power from an anime or novel.

Thinking of this.

Prince Ganlongdao felt a surge of excitement.

The next day.

After school.

In the dormitory lobby.

Watching Ibuki Mio return to the dormitory carrying shopping bags, Prince Ganlongdao, who had been sitting on the sofa, hurriedly stood up to block her path.

"Geez, you really kept me waiting!"

"Hmm?"

Ibuki Mio's gaze was fierce: "What is it?"

"I have something to discuss with you, spare me a moment."

Prince Ganlongdao felt like he was being glared at.

Perhaps he wasn't being glared at.

It was just that Ibuki Mio's eyes naturally gave off a very fierce impression.

It made people feel as if they were being glared at.

Even boys like Ishizaki didn't dare to approach her easily.

"Move."

Ibuki Mio glared at him, her beautiful eyes widening slightly.

"I'm not interested in you, just say what you have to say."

"..."

Now Prince Ganlongdao was certain he was being glared at.

It was truly a headache.

If she felt something was good for the class, she would naturally follow through, even being more cooperative than most.

If she felt it was useless to the class, Ibuki Mio wouldn't even pay it any mind.

As for the matter of Prince Ganlongdao being the class leader.

She didn't agree, didn't refuse, and didn't take a stance.

She was like a heartless woman.

He felt that Ibuki Mio was even harder to deal with than Ryuen Kakeru.

"Are you sure you want to do this here?"

Prince Ganlongdao glanced around and raised an eyebrow:

"After all, this is a very important matter, I think it would be better to find a private place."

"Then the rooftop. We'll talk after I finish eating, 8:00 PM."

"Hey..."

Prince Ganlongdao just wanted to speak.

Ibuki Mio walked straight past him and into the elevator.

What a pity.

He had originally intended to invite Ibuki Mio to his dorm room, but he hadn't expected this girl to be so assertive, setting the time and place herself right off the bat.

However.

Come to think of it.

A girl.

Daring to go to the rooftop alone in the middle of the night.

She really was confident in her own strength.

Was she not afraid he might do something?

At this thought.

Prince Ganlongdao rubbed his chin and let out an imperceptible smile.

He had to admit.

Aside from her somewhat fierce gaze.

Ibuki Mio was actually quite beautiful, with delicate features far superior to those of Shiho Manabe.

Furthermore.

It was obvious she had trained; her body possessed excellent flexibility.

She would surely be a thrill to play with.

And she had such a strong personality.

He liked it!

Eight o'clock at night, the rooftop.

After dinner.

Having finally managed to brush off Shiho Manabe.

Prince Ganlongdao leaned against the railing, gazing into the distance.

The sound of the Gate of Opening echoed behind him. He glanced down at his student ID; it was exactly one minute to eight. She was truly a woman who kept her word.

After scanning her surroundings, Ibuki Mio walked up behind Prince Ganlongdao.

Crossing her arms, she urged:

"Alright, speak. What is it?"

"You're very punctual."

Prince Ganlongdao turned around.

He had originally intended to say something else, but seeing Ibuki Mio's impatient gaze.

Prince Ganlongdao decided to get straight to the point.

"From my observations, you always seem to go to school and return home alone, and you're always by yourself at the university as well. You didn't attend yesterday's gathering either. Is there some special reason for that?"

"No."

Ibuki Mio said impatiently: "If that's all you wanted to see me for, I'm leaving."

"It's not that..."

He hesitated for a moment.

Prince Ganlongdao felt it was better to be blunt with someone like her.

"Right now, you're the only one in the entire class who doesn't recognize me as the leader, and the fact that you come and go as you please every day makes me lose a lot of face~"

"I'm leaving."

Ibuki Mio's pretty face darkened, and she turned to walk away immediately.

After all.

Prince Ganlongdao had decided once again.

It could greatly improve the class's cohesion and motivation.

It was good for the class.

Therefore.

She didn't think poorly of Prince Ganlongdao.

Only when she heard that Prince Ganlongdao had something to say to her did Ibuki Mio carve out the time to come and see him.

As long as it was beneficial to the class.

Ibuki Mio didn't mind helping out.

But she hadn't expected it to be something like this.

She had no interest in this kind of yakuza-style house-playing.

She really is a character...
