The Actors Have All Arrived, Let the Performance Begin

"Of course not. That wouldn't benefit us at all. Our goal is to build a faction within Class A to oppose him. As long as he fails to graduate from Class A, it will be a blow to the Road Tyrant.

There is one more thing: no one knows my identity right now, including the White Room. I must defeat him as a natural-born genius. You must remember this; do not expose my identity."

"Oh, right!" Shiraishi Asuka's thoughts raced. Yagami Shizuka's conversation was flawless.

Most importantly, she had always harbored doubts about his identity. If he were a genius, it would have been impossible for him to remain obscure until now, and everything made sense now.

So, he was like her—a member of the Silver Faction within the White Room, and a hidden trump card at that.

If that were the case, the upcoming battle would be truly spectacular.

"What, you don't want to make an enemy of Ayanokoji?" Yagami Shizuka asked in a deep voice. "Don't worry, my goal isn't to hurt him. Whether he is stronger or I am, we won't know until we compete. If you aren't willing, I can exclude you."

"No!" Shiraishi Asuka quickly objected. She was overjoyed; how could she not want to participate in something so important?

Defeating Ayanokoji was something that would be quite satisfying for a White Room student, wasn't it?

"Please, let me join. Whatever you need me to do, I am willing to serve." She bowed respectfully toward Yagami Shizuka.

"Good. To reiterate our plan: the Road Tyrant is our enemy, not his son, Ayanokoji. But if Ayanokoji graduates from Class A, it will definitely hinder our progress, and the Road Tyrant's schemes will succeed. Yet, we cannot let Ayanokoji drop out and return to the White Room.

So, our goal is to defeat him, ensure he doesn't graduate from Class A, and let the Road Tyrant know that the monster he created is just a piece of trash. This is advantageous for us. Do you understand?"

"I understand." Shiraishi Asuka wasn't stupid; she grasped the entire situation in an instant.

And his handling of it was perfectly correct.

Yagami Shizuka glanced at a line of small text that popped up before him and continued, "I won't interfere with you spreading rumors about yourself; feel free to do that. But you'd better put away your voice recorder.

Regardless of whether it's a hobby or a habit.

Recording the content from just now won't do you any good, and it might leave you vulnerable. Be more careful next time; don't record everything."

After saying this, Yagami Shizuka precisely avoided all surveillance cameras and disappeared around a corner.

A cold wind brushed past Shiraishi Asuka's hair, sending a chill down her spine.

Terrified, Shiraishi Asuka broke into a cold sweat and pulled a white cylindrical pen from her pocket.

This object was tiny and highly discreet; she had been carrying it into the school for some time.

She had activated it subconsciously just now, never expecting to be discovered.

Even though her disguise had always been seamless, in his eyes, it was as if it were not worth mentioning.

Alright, the stage, the actors, and the audience are all ready.

Next, it is time for the performance to begin.

Clap, clap—

During the final self-study period of the afternoon, Yagami Shizuka walked onto the podium and clapped his hands twice to draw the attention of all the students.

This period was a self-study session exclusive to Class A.

Unlike a normal study hall, if students didn't want to study in the classroom, they could go outside or to the library. The school didn't care what they were studying, as long as they were actually studying and not just playing around.

He had already applied for permission to use this time as he pleased.

"Before everyone spends their points recklessly, I'd like to say a few words.

You should all know by now that the information I provided to you was not a lie.

In the future, there will certainly be many times when we need to use a large amount of points. It would be a waste of time to scramble to collect them then, so we might as well discuss the issue of consolidating our personal points now.

My personal opinion is that every semester, except for the first month, all points from the remaining months should be turned in and pooled together.

As long as we have enough points, we can handle problems with ease.

For example, if one of us faces expulsion and we need 20 million points to save them, we wouldn't be able to come up with that amount if we hadn't planned ahead.

Or, for certain special exams that require trading with other classes, if we have to borrow points everywhere at that moment, we'll definitely be in a panic, and we won't be able to reach a consensus.

Consolidating points is different. I believe many of you share my opinion.

So, let's speak freely now. What are your thoughts?"

At first, no one spoke, but after a while, whispers began to ripple through the room.

A male student asked, "May I ask who the points will be turned over to?"

"To Sakayanagi Arisu. She is highly respected and is the daughter of the Chairman. Just look at her—she gets winded walking two steps and doesn't even dare to order a large coffee. She wouldn't even know how to spend the points if she tried. So, you can rest assured leaving the points with her," Yagami Shizuka said with a solemn smile.

The entire class's gaze immediately shifted to Sakayanagi Arisu. Sakayanagi Arisu lowered her head in embarrassment. She didn't really trust Yagami Shizuka either, and she would feel at ease if the points were placed in her care.

But the more Yagami Shizuka said that, the more she felt guilty for not trusting him.

Yagami Shizuka added, "Of course, if everyone is willing to trust me, you can leave them with me. I can guarantee, I can swear, that I will not betray your expectations.

But I might just finish swearing and immediately hand the points over to Sakayanagi Arisu anyway."

Then what is the point of your guarantee and oath?

Another student raised their hand and said, "If we don't turn them in for only the first month, will that be enough?"

This was the question they were most concerned about.

Before Yagami Shizuka could even speak, another student stood up and said, "No way, this school provides free supplies and free meals. Under normal circumstances, 5,000 points a month is enough. I lived on 5,000 a month back in middle school, so 20,000 points a month is definitely more than enough."

"I also think it's definitely enough, there will even be leftovers. I actually wish we could pool even more points together."

"Some people spend more; socializing costs money too," someone else offered a dissenting opinion.

"How can you compare middle school to high school? There are so many more things that require money."

Watching the lively scene below, Yagami Shizuka had already anticipated this.

It would be abnormal if no one refuted him.

If there hadn't been any pushback, he would have had to find a few plants to stir up trouble; otherwise, just because there were no problems now didn't mean there wouldn't be any later.

20,000 was definitely enough to spend. Even Ayanokoji, who had to buy daily necessities during his first month and thus had higher expenses, only spent 20,000.

Clap, clap!

Yagami Shizuka clapped his hands again. "Thank you all for your input. If anyone has other opinions, feel free to speak up. I hope you won't keep your thoughts to yourselves, as that would make it impossible for me to know what you need. Now, let me tell you another benefit of pooling our points."

"I want to use our points to create an R System."
