On the other hand, Shirogane acted as if he already knew the inside story.
So, does Sakayanagi actually think that they found out the true nature of this school through some illicit means?
If so, her guess was spot on.
The method Classmate Ryuen used to obtain inside information was indeed illicit; it was direct violence.
However, Classmate Shirogane didn't need to resort to that, because the one using violence wasn't him, but Classmate Ryuen. At most, he was just passing by and "happened to hear" it.
"The school won't let us talk about it, and neither will Student Council President Nagumo." Thus, Classmate Shirogane, devoid of any guilty conscience, gave a non-sequitur response. "Does that mean that in the eyes of the second-years, Student Council President Nagumo's influence is also quite significant?"
"The Class A that Student Council President Nagumo is currently in was not the original Class A; they rose up from Class B."
"In other words, a successful case of the subordinates overthrowing their superiors."
"It is only natural for someone capable of achieving such success to possess some level of influence within their grade."
"And in order to preserve the fruits of his victory, I imagine Student Council President Nagumo might even use the authority of the vice president of the student council to manipulate things and bolster his own influence," Classmate Sakayanagi said.
"..." Shirogane.
So, you already understood all of this, didn't you? Not only did you know about the class competition, but you also knew the current situation of the second-year seniors.
If that is the case, then Shirogane suspects that the current Class A already knows about the Behavioral Standards Exam that takes place in the first month of enrollment.
If so, then Class A might not lose too many points during this first month.
Therefore, the opponent their Class C has to face will be stronger than those of previous years.
How terrifying.
As for the plan Sakayanagi and her group used to obtain information, it was most likely throwing money at the problem.
In her words, the classmate raised the price to 500,000 points, and the second-year student still didn't agree.
Note her keyword: "raised."
Does that mean that as long as the price is raised to a sufficient number of points, even things that shouldn't be agreed to can be agreed to?
Moreover, the Student Council President also knows that Sakayanagi Arisu made an offer directly to a teacher in class, and the teacher did indeed say that in this school, as long as one has enough points, one can buy anything one wants.
So, if Class A adopts the method of using large sums of money to obtain the true nature of this school, the school authorities will likely tacitly approve.
Thinking about it this way, a question arises.
"Classmate Sakayanagi, is it true that the Student Council President mentioned you directly asked a teacher to buy information with points during yesterday's homeroom?" Shirogane asked.
"Oh, that. Of course it's true," Classmate Sakayanagi said. "However, this school is indeed quite interesting; as long as you have enough points, you can buy anything."
"Although the teacher refused to answer, I eventually sought out the second-year seniors, and finally settled on the third-year seniors. It's truly wonderful to have obtained the information."
In other words, she actually had two plans in place. If she could buy the information directly from the teacher, that would be best; if the teacher were willing to compromise, then it would be reasonable.
And if she couldn't get the information from the teacher, she could pivot to purchasing it from the upperclassmen.
Since the act took place under the surveillance of cameras, it could be considered as having "checked in" with the school.
And as for the result, since the third-year senior was able to sell her the information, it could be considered reported and thus reasonably obtained.
Through this outcome, Classmate Sakayanagi quickly established her status in the class and also gained useful tools within the class.
These things are linked one after another, killing many birds with one stone.
Shirogane is certain that when the second-year Student Council President Nagumo was still in Class B, the Class A he had to face was definitely not of this intensity.
And against a Class A of this intensity, the original second-year Class B would certainly have been unable to surpass them.
"What's wrong, Classmate Shirogane?"
"You suddenly stopped talking." Sakayanagi noticed Shirogane's state.
"...It's nothing." Shirogane shook his head.
Having come into contact with the big boss of Class A, Classmate Shirogane decided that after returning, he would honestly go back to studying.
"Classmate Shirogane is exhausted again today."
When he arrived at the classroom the next day, Classmate Shiina, who sat in front of him, greeted him.
Shirogane looked over and saw the girl's delicate and pretty face, and her smooth, straight long hair.
Hmm.
Classmate Shiina is still a sight for sore eyes.
It was as if his complicated mood could be eased just by looking at her.
"I worked a little hard yesterday," Shirogane said, then took out his math textbook, which he had already previewed up to page 77, and placed it on the desk.
[You seem to be feeling fearful.] A voice appeared in Shirogane's mind.
It had been here for three days, and Classmate Shirogane had already grown accustomed to its presence.
The remark was abrupt and lacked context, but Shirogane knew exactly what it was referring to.
"Because she is terrifying, isn't she?" Classmate Shirogane wrote on his blank notebook.
He discovered that the voice of this Narrator System appeared within his mind, but if he tried to converse with it, his inner thoughts or mental replies could not be heard; however, if he spoke aloud or wrote it down, it could hear and see him.
Thus, this was a specific mode of communication.
And the Narrator System in his mind began to communicate.
[If we are talking about the level of terror, it is just like a Tyrannosaurus Rex; although small in size, it is extremely aggressive.]
[Moreover, she likes to hold grudges. Her way of holding a grudge is often not to retaliate immediately, but to set it aside and let it accumulate.]
[And if she loses her temper, it is truly terrifying. She will make a poor student study, force you to do things you aren't good at, and the less you are skilled at something, the more she will make you do it.]
[She is simply a devil!]
No, no, no, aren't you even more afraid of her than he is?
Shirogane was about to scribble on his notebook when he suddenly noticed a commotion at the door.
"Someone from the Student Council is here."
"It seems they are looking for someone."
"What? Such a good thing? Could it be that Ryuen is finally going to be caught... uh, I didn't say anything."
The student sitting in the front row seemed to want to seize the opportunity to report Ryuen, but suddenly realized he was being stared at by Ryuen and instantly lost his nerve.
Although it was only the third day of school, Classmate Ryuen's habit of using violence to keep students in line had not ceased.
When he arrived at school this morning, Classmate Ryuen had a piece of gauze on his face; he must have been in a group fight yesterday.
How exhausting.
However, although Ryuen made that boy shut up, his expression was also somewhat serious.
There were simply too many surveillance cameras in this school. Although they generally avoided the cameras while fighting, it was hard to say if they would be reported if the incidents happened too often.
So, had someone reported him?
"Is Classmate Shirogane Miyuki from Class C of the first year here?" The Student Council member standing at the door, however, was asking for someone else's name.
The surrounding students looked over with curiosity.
Some students seemed curious about who Classmate Shirogane was, while those who already knew him cast inquisitive glances.
"Is that Tachibana Akane-senpai?"
Classmate Shirogane recognized the Student Council member standing at the classroom door immediately.
Purple hair, looking quite cute.
This was the secretary who stayed by the Student Council President's side, and having learned her name from Sakayanagi, he knew it was Tachibana Akane.
"It seems I found the right person." Tachibana Akane walked over. "Regarding your report about the electronics store clerk in the shopping district engaging in voyeurism, it has been confirmed. That clerk has already been fired."
"I am here to provide you with a response regarding this matter."
Oh.
The surrounding students had already understood.
So that was what Classmate Shirogane had done.
Speaking of which, was that electronics store clerk the one from the first shop? Some students also felt that the clerk looked lecherous and gave off an unsettling vibe.
Everyone had been discussing other topics, but they quickly shifted to the subject of the shopping district clerk.
At the same time, a sunny and handsome senior with short blonde hair appeared at the door of the Class A classroom for first-years.
ps: Today's update is here. You know what I'm going to say, right? It's a new month, so I can get the perfect attendance bonus. Therefore, blades, monthly tickets, and recommendation tickets—I want them all.
Ying ying ying.
Chapter 023: Nagumo's Double Setback, What's Up With This Year's Freshmen?
At the same time, a sunny and handsome senior with short blonde hair appeared at the door of the Class A classroom for first-years.
Nagumo Miyabi and Tachibana Akane had received a task from President Horikita to verify whether the freshman's report regarding the voyeurism of the electronics store clerk in the shopping district was true.
After investigation, it was a fact, and the clerk at the shopping district store was given the punishment of dismissal.
As for the freshman who reported it, he would receive some rewards; the President decided to report it upward, so the school's rewards would also be issued.
And Nagumo had ambition.
Because he led his class to successfully rise to Class A through a coup, the Student Council President allowed him to serve as the Vice President of the Student Council. This was a recognition of his ability. At the same time, after entering the Student Council, Nagumo deeply understood the power of the Student Council, and he immediately had an idea.
Because the authority of this Student Council was much greater than he had imagined. It even had the opportunity to influence the monthly special exams.
Then, he was tempted.
In other words, it wasn't just about rising in class and maintaining the position of Class A; he had birthed a new ambition.
And this ambition first required becoming the Student Council President.
Therefore, after President Horikita stepped down, he wanted to become the new Student Council President.
However, there were conditions to becoming the Student Council President.
1. The recommendation of the previous Student Council President.
2. Holding the position of vice president, one automatically enters the candidacy stage after the previous Student Council President resigns.
These two conditions merely grant the eligibility to run for office.
The final criterion for judgment is a vote by the entire student body, with the candidate receiving the most votes winning the election.
Therefore, there is one more thing he must do: canvass for votes.
Votes from the second-years, the third-years, and the first-years—although there is still a year left before President Horikita resigns, he can start making preparations now.
That is why he specifically came to make contact with the first-years to solicit their support.
Of course, it would be impossible to approach the first-years so blatantly, so he is currently using the pretext of distributing rewards.
In fact, there are two students who need to be rewarded: one is Shirogane Miyuki from Class C, and the other is the girl with the purple hair and hairclip that Shirogane mentioned. According to the information gathered, this girl with the hairclip is a first-year student from Class A named Kamuro Masumi.
Hmm.
And so, the situation unfolded as it did: he chose to notify Kamuro from Class A, while Tachibana Akane went to Class C to distribute the reward to Shirogane.
Because in Nagumo's understanding, even though it was the junior from Class C, Shirogane, who made the report.
When it comes down to it, the one who originally discovered the clerk's secret filming was likely that girl with the purple hair from Class A.
The junior from Class C was just lucky enough to find the evidence and bring it to the student council to submit it.
Therefore, the person truly worth contacting is the student from Class A.
After all.
Unlike the freshmen, he has long known the true nature of this school, and he knows that Class A is the strongest, while the so-called Class C is merely a lower-tier class.
So, what is the point of interacting with trash?
Therefore.
