Chapter 29

"No, that would be too deliberate... It's better to sell it to Hirata, the other leader of Class 1-D." That's right, I had just picked out this lucky handsome guy. "That pretty boy? Did he steal your woman? You're playing so dirty..." "How could that be... It's just simple class competition, healthy competition!" How could I possibly admit to something like that! "I don't believe a word of it! You're a real heartless capitalist! But I don't know Hirata... How about this, you come with me to meet someone later; he used to be in the soccer club, he should know Hirata." "That sounds great!" At the same time, I received a reply from Kaneda confirming he understood. Everything was ready, all I needed was the east wind, and with my luck off the charts today, I met the east wind in a private booth at a restaurant immediately.

"Let me introduce you. The villain who commits all kinds of evil in Class 2-A, the current second-in-command of the student council, Nagumo Miyabi." Senior Igari sat down on her own, "And this is the vicious capitalist from Class 1-C, Kitazawa Minya." "Nice to meet you, Senior Nagumo! And... Senior Igari, I actually prefer the title 'Poisonous Strategist' from Jia Wenhe in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms." "Whatever... anyway, that guy from the Three Kingdoms definitely isn't as rich as you." "You flatter me." "I've heard of you for a long time, Kitazawa-kun." Senior Nagumo seemed very easy to talk to.

"No way? Am I that famous?" I hadn't expected that even with my low profile, the big shots would know me. "Actually, the second-year answer sheet from last time was provided to you by my people. What's the matter this time?" Nagumo asked with a smile. I hurriedly told Nagumo about my plan. "Giving other classes fake exam papers? Interesting." "But what if others in Class D also bought the real past papers?" Senior Igari asked curiously from the side. "Then I'll have to ask you two seniors not to change your story. Once it's done, I'll give you both two million points. Of course, if you want cash after graduation, that works too. It's very simple: just tell Hirata to release the past papers about three days before the exam." "???" Igari still didn't quite understand.

"So that's how it is." Nagumo nodded, "The best time to release past papers is a day or two before the exam. If others have papers in their hands, they will likely release them at that time too. Hirata has a lot of prestige in his class; if two sets of papers are placed side by side, his will be more credible. If he releases his first, the others will be in an awkward position." "As expected of Senior Nagumo, not a single mistake. And looking at it this way, others won't have the papers at that time." "Why?" Igari expressed that she didn't understand but felt it was impressive. "Because when a dog is desperate, it jumps over the wall. Most people won't think of the past paper method until the very last moment. They will have already received the past papers before they reach a dead end and think of this method, so naturally, they won't go to verify anything." Nagumo looked like he understood human nature very well.

"Exactly. Even if someone gets the real past papers before this and isn't afraid of the impact on Hirata, they will still release them. Two sets of papers can disrupt Class D's review to the greatest extent. It's fine to make poor students memorize five sets of answers, but memorizing ten sets is a bit difficult, isn't it?" I stroked my non-existent beard and said. "?﹏?" Senior Igari indicated that she felt terrible; how could you two be so cruel? "You're quite good, Kitazawa-kun. Do you want to join me?" Nagumo said, extending an invitation. "I don't have that need for now, but I'm still very happy to cooperate with you, Senior, in every aspect." "Cooperate? Yes, that's it, cooperation. With this clever plan of yours, I can indeed help you, even make Hirata willingly and gratefully accept the papers... but there's no benefit for me! I don't want points or money." Nagumo said so.

"Then, may I ask what you want, Senior Nagumo?" You should have said so earlier; I was just afraid you didn't want anything. "Honami Ichinose. I want you to help me get her. I heard you have quite a few points? If she comes to borrow points from you in the future..." "I will decisively refuse her. After all, she is from Class B, my opponent. Don't worry, Senior." I answered without even thinking. "Eh? I heard you're quite fond of women, Kitazawa? Don't you feel bad?" "Anyway, Ichinose isn't my woman right now... she's not even in my range of interest! If you like her, take her, don't be polite. But in that case, our transaction must remain a secret forever. I don't want to make enemies for no reason." Heh, another beastly senior, really lacking class! I never use schemes or tricks when picking up girls, okay? We are not the same kind of people! Nagumo and Igari looked at each other, and both nodded.

"Deal! Kitazawa-kun, this is my number. Just send the test papers to my email..." "No problem, Senior. But it will only be a version photographed by a mobile phone. I will find a way to typeset and print it myself." "I want the photographed version; that's the most natural! Hahahaha! That's it then. Senior Igari and I still have things to discuss, let's chat slowly another day." Nagumo signaled that I could leave. "Yes. See you later, you two." With the cooperation of the seniors, Class D is going to have a rough time, even if they don't completely collapse, right? Perhaps Hirata will be devastated by this, and that Karuizawa will be mine! Wait, didn't I say I wouldn't use schemes to pick up girls...
