Not bad.

The expression on Ryuen's face turned cold.

"What do you want to do?" Ryuen said.

"Nothing much, I just feel that if you don't restrain your violent methods, Ryuen, it will be detrimental to your class, so I'm here to warn you. If you don't show restraint, I will send the video I recorded to the school," Shirogane Miyuki said without changing his expression.

"So you deliberately filmed me hitting people, and while you were at it, you eavesdropped on the school's intelligence, too," Ryuen said, narrowing his eyes. He radiated a terrifying aura.

Uh.

The expression on Shiina's face seemed to shift slightly.

"What are you talking about?" Shirogane Miyuki said, however, with a straight face and no change in his demeanor. "How can you think of people so maliciously? We were just passing by and happened to see you hitting someone."

"I didn't get involved, partly because I don't think I could beat you in a fight, and partly because of this—I filmed the process of your crime and ended up hearing the seniors divulge information."

"And hearing such news proves that my thinking was correct."

"If the school is truly evaluating our conduct and the like, then without restraint, Ryuen, you will cause your class to lose a lot of points. You will become a sinner to your class."

"And now, if your assault is confirmed, and it's on the very first day of school, beating up seniors no less, do you think... you have absolutely no risk of being expelled?" Shirogane Miyuki said.

"..."

Ryuen stared at Shirogane with a gaze that was impossible to read.

But his mind was very clear.

Violence was originally a tool; look, if it weren't for violence, how could he have obtained the school's actual intelligence directly from the upperclassmen? However, if this method were exposed, it would also be dangerous.

Ryuen certainly did not want to be expelled.

His grades definitely wouldn't have gotten him into a school with such benefits, and now that he knew how unusual this school was compared to the outside world, he had already started to become interested. How could he possibly leave now?

"At the end of the day, you've only recorded a video of me hitting people. As long as I delete the footage, there's nothing you can do," Ryuen said. "You're just freshmen, so you don't have any connections yet, meaning you can't send the video to anyone else in such a short time."

Hmm.

Ryuen's intelligence was indeed up to par.

Currently, Shirogane and Shiina were basically sticking together; having just enrolled, they only had each other's contact information.

And since the two of them were right here, their phones were in their hands. If Ryuen attacked them to snatch the phones, he could indeed destroy the evidence.

However.

"It's useless," Shirogane said. "We may not have any friends yet, but don't forget that we both have the contact information for our homeroom teacher, Sakagami. So, if you try to snatch them, we will just send the recording to the teacher."

"Not only that, look, don't they have injuries on them? As long as they report it, you will still be disciplined," Shirogane said.

"Are you going to report me?" Ryuen began to glare fiercely at the two seniors.

"No, no, we won't report you," the two seniors said, hurriedly raising their hands.

They looked pathetic and cowardly.

In reality, that wasn't the case.

The two seniors were thinking that as soon as they were safe, they would immediately report Ryuen.

They hadn't known the other party's name before, but now, having heard the discussion among these three first-years, they knew that this red-haired guy with the center-parted hair who beat them up was called Ryuen.

Still, the girl among the three of them was really beautiful, possessing a literary girl's temperament. He didn't know her name, but she probably didn't have a boyfriend yet.

But this guy named Ryuen had to be expelled!

Generally speaking, a fight wouldn't result in expulsion, but this Ryuen was a freshman who had attacked upperclassmen, and it was during the conduct assessment period of the first month of school. The punishment would be aggravated.

So even if he wasn't expelled, it would likely cost his class one or two hundred points.

That was a severe penalty.

Although the two seniors had been beaten into submission, they weren't convinced in their hearts at all.

"Are you sure? If you can't get me expelled in one go, I will continue to retaliate against you."

"Anyway, I'm in Class C of the first year. Even if this class knows the true nature of this school in advance, I'm afraid there will only be one or two hundred points left in the end."

"Now that I'm losing a few points, it doesn't matter at all!" Ryuen looked over with a sharp gaze.

Uh.

The thoughts that had just sprouted in the two seniors' minds instantly withered.

"Shirogane-kun." Shiina had already spotted the problem.

Shirogane nodded.

He had also discovered the issue. Ryuen wasn't just intelligent, capable of using violence, and good at coercion; he also seemed to be skilled in psychological manipulation.

For instance, Ryuen was threatening the two seniors, saying that if they didn't get him expelled now, he would retaliate, which made them fearful. But in reality, as long as they reported him, and then reported him again when he retaliated—if the first time couldn't get Ryuen expelled, the second or at worst the third time would be enough to get him expelled or sent for reform.

So, Ryuen was using psychology. He was intimidating the two seniors.

And clearly, the two seniors had already been controlled.

"Then get lost," Ryuen continued. "But there is one thing you must remember."

"Normally, information shouldn't be leaked so casually, so your actions are actually a violation of the rules as well."

"And you two saw it, right? Since they recorded the video of me hitting people, they definitely also recorded you telling me the true nature of this school."

"So, once the video of me hitting people and the audio of you revealing the school's reality are exposed, just think about the consequences."

"We're all in the same boat now, so if you report me, you're finished too," Ryuen warned.

Damn it.

The two upperclassmen prepared to leave with tragic expressions, not even bothering to take the free items they had grabbed from the convenience store.

At this moment, Ryuen looked toward Shirogane and Shiina. "Now it's your turn. What is your objective?"

Chapter 011: What Bad Intentions Could We Possibly Have? Right, Ryuen-kun!

Ryuen was asking what Shirogane-kun and Shiina-san's objectives were.

Shirogane-kun didn't have any bad intentions; he was simply testing the extent of Ryuen-kun's capabilities.

And the current conclusion proved that Ryuen-kun was indeed quite interesting.

Although Ryuen advocated for violence and directly employed violent methods, it could also be observed that if Shirogane and the others hadn't recorded the video, Ryuen would have forced the people he hit to stay silent and not report him.

Furthermore, his fighting style was somewhat impressive.

He didn't strike at people's faces, meaning he left no visible bruises while still ensuring they felt the pain.

He must be a veteran skilled at fighting and avoiding accountability.

At the same time, the other party's psychology and intelligence were also well-developed.

It was indeed just as the narration system had stated.

[Ryuen is arrogant and conceited, using violent means to keep Class C united; many students dare to be angry but dare not speak out.]

[By oppressing the class with violence and using underhanded tactics against other classes, he has brought unprecedented results to Class C.]

However.

Shirogane hadn't come here to praise Ryuen. It was a fact that the other party used violent methods, and if they were penalized during the first month's behavioral assessment, the consequences would be even more severe, potentially dragging the entire class down.

"Normally, having filmed the video of you hitting people, I should send it to the homeroom teacher immediately."

"But for now, I've decided not to do that," Shirogane said.

"Having just heard about the reality of this school, I also know that only by becoming Class A can one obtain the excellent benefits promised by the school."

"And for the first month, the base points for all four classes are 1,000," Shirogane said. "I'm afraid the point totals for the four classes will be pulled apart once the first month's behavioral assessment concludes."

"With this knowledge, our class can try our best to minimize point deductions."

In other words, this meant utilizing the school's rules immediately after grasping them.

It was equivalent to leveling up solo in an environment like this.

"Your idea is beautiful, but reality is cruel," Ryuen said, however. "Because you probably haven't paid much attention to the students in your class; they are basically all trash."

"If these people aren't rounded up, it's impossible for them to listen obediently. As for the requirements of the behavioral assessment, it's basically impossible for them to complete those on their own."

"Then you go and round them up," Shirogane said.

"Hmm?"

Ryuen narrowed his eyes. At this moment, he was certain that this guy named Shirogane Miyuki was not right.

At first, he felt the other party was full of a sense of justice.

But he quickly discovered that the other party would compromise as the situation developed, such as not sending the video of him hitting people to the teacher.

And now.

He was actually tacitly approving of his use of violence to keep the class in line.

Could it be.

"You want to promote your class; you want to graduate as Class A!" Ryuen said.

"Yes," Shirogane nodded. "I want to graduate as Class A."

His family was dirt poor, and if he could secure a spot in Class A, he could go to the university he wanted, and even the university tuition would be covered by the school.

The fact that the school would cover these costs alone was enough to entice Shirogane-kun.

He had already been guessing that this school wouldn't let all students enjoy such treatment, so he went to find the path that would provide it. The result was that students competed in class-based units, battling each other to eventually graduate as Class A.

And since he had found the channel for promotion, he would naturally seize it.

"Full of spirit!" Ryuen praised him, however. "It's just that you're likely going to be disappointed, because didn't you hear what those two upperclassmen said? Classes C and D have long been considered trash."

"And I don't doubt that in the slightest. Right now, most of Class C is trash, and I'm afraid Class D is the same."

"In terms of overall strength, they are definitely weaker than Classes A and B," Ryuen said.

"Then that just means the weakest will become the strongest," Shirogane said. "Since we were recruited by the school, it means the school still intends to give us a chance."

"And although the probability is small, there have been successful examples of an underdog rising up, haven't there?"

"Six or seven batches before us, that is, the batch of Class D's Chabashira-sensei—perhaps our homeroom teacher Sakagami-sensei knows this too—Class D rose to Class B."

"I'm afraid that back then, the Class D that Chabashira-sensei was in didn't have the favorable conditions we have now, nor would it have been possible for them to learn the true nature of this school so early."

"So, under these conditions, Ryuen-kun, are you going to admit defeat?"

Are you going to admit defeat?

Are you going to admit defeat?

Ryuen's eyes suddenly turned sharp.

"Defeat? It's impossible for me to lose. It's useless for you to try and use reverse psychology on me; I've studied psychology myself, so I understand how to control people's hearts very well."

"And right now, you're just trying to make use of my power," Ryuen said.

"You're right, I do want to borrow your power, but aren't you also a member of Class C? And didn't you go out to gather information on the very first day because you felt this school was interesting? So, upon learning the true nature of this school, and even knowing that our class is ranked very low, Ryuen-kun, you actually have the desire to climb higher, don't you?" Shirogane said.

"So this isn't about us wanting to use your power, but rather you realizing that you need to use our power as well," Shirogane said.

Hehehe.

Hehehe.

Ryuen seemed to start laughing.

However.

Damn it.

He had only wanted to take off on his own, to seize the initiative by mastering the information, and then use violence to consolidate power and present the school with a stunning result for the first month's evaluation.

Not to be reduced to a mere hired thug like this.

Yet, he couldn't completely deny Shirogane Miyuki.

Because just as the other party said, he had originally intended to use his own strength to lead the class, but that would have ultimately centered around him alone, and the other students might have been timid or unwilling to serve him due to his violence. But if Shirogane and Shiina were willing to help, it would be a different story.

Then, the class would be like a tiger that had grown wings.
