After leaving, Onizuka did not give the three seemingly desperate people another thought.
Since he had already accepted the payment he was owed, he would naturally fulfill his promise; he still possessed that much contractual integrity.
Regardless of the process, as long as the result was good, there was absolutely no problem.
Their goal was merely to pass the exam, not to actually learn anything.
Exams of this nature rarely changed their core principles, and since the textbooks weren't updated every year, the exam content naturally remained the same.
Onizuka found the upperclassman he had previously competed against in the long jump, the one who seemed to be called Hondo Ei.
He was a student in Class D of the second year, tall and slender, and it was said that many third-year seniors couldn't beat him in the long jump.
At the time, when he heard Onizuka suggest a bet of 90,000 points on a long jump competition, he had seemed so happy he could fly.
To scrape together the points for the bet, he had even borrowed most of them from others.
But after the competition ended, he had clung to Onizuka's leg for a long time, crying bitterly.
He had said things like "I was wrong," "I won't dare do it again," and "Please, underclassman, return the points to me."
Of course, he had been pulled away by the supervising teacher nearby; otherwise, Onizuka might have really had to put in some effort to get away.
Surely, this senior Hondo must be missing him dearly by now, right?
"Senior Hondo, how have you been lately?"
A disheveled man with messy hair and dark, bruised circles under his eyes appeared in Onizuka's line of sight.
"Hmm~ it seems you haven't been doing too well."
Hearing someone call his name, Hondo subconsciously covered his ears and cried out reflexively.
"Don't drag me away, please give me a little more time, I will definitely pay it back!"
Tsk tsk, how pathetic. I heard he borrowed points from someone in their grade named Nagumo Miyabi; it seems he's a ruthless character as well.
Suddenly realizing it wasn't the people who had been coming for him before, Hondo turned his head to look.
Instantly, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins as he lunged forward fiercely, grabbing Onizuka by the collar.
"You bastard, you've ruined me, and you actually have the nerve to appear in front of me again!!!!"
Onizuka, held by the collar, remained completely unfazed.
"What are you talking about, Senior? That was just an equal and friendly exchange, we just added a little bit of a stake to it."
"You!!!!"
Just as Hondo Ei was about to raise his fist and swing it hard at Onizuka's face.
"Senior, are you sure you really want to do this?" After saying that, Onizuka tilted his head slightly, gesturing toward the surveillance camera nearby.
"Surely you are very clear about the consequences if a violent incident is discovered, right?"
Hearing Onizuka say this, Hondo Ei froze for a moment, his entire body going limp as if his bones had been removed, and he slowly slumped to the ground.
"Damn it, you devil, just how far do you intend to toy with me!"
Looking at his miserable state, Onizuka felt no pity at all.
"Hey, Senior, how about I help you out? How about we make a deal?"
Hondo Ei slowly raised his head, revealing his face covered in snot and tears, looking utterly wretched.
"You... how are you going to... help me?"
Hearing him say this, Onizuka revealed a smile.
"Surely you have the past years' exam papers in your possession, right? How about selling them to me?"
Upon hearing this, Hondo acted as if he had grabbed onto a life-saving straw.
"Fifty thousand! Just fifty thousand points!! I can get you all the test papers!"
Onizuka scoffed, squatted down, and patted his face with his palm.
"Senior, it seems you still don't understand the situation, do you? I can get these papers from any upperclassman, and as for you... surely there's no one left who would lend you points, right?"
"Which means I can easily ask another senior for these papers; you aren't exactly indispensable."
Suddenly enlightened by Onizuka's point, Hondo Ei lowered his head again and said slowly:
"Two... no... ten thousand will do. Please, I beg you, give me ten thousand points. No one will offer a lower price than this, please..."
As he spoke, he began to cry.
Tsk, how unsightly, but this must be the lowest price, right? This man shouldn't have the courage to lie anymore.
"Fine, but for these ten thousand points, I want to buy all the test papers from the first year to the third year. Please do your best not to get expelled, Senior."
Hondo Ei raised his head, and a trace of gratitude actually flickered in his eyes.
"Okay... thank you."
Subsequently, under the gaze of the surveillance camera, the two completed the transfer of points and the first-year test papers.
As for the papers for the remaining two years, they would be completed slowly over the next two years.
After completing the transaction, Onizuka left the place without looking back.
Hondo Ei, having received the 10,000 points, looked absolutely ecstatic, as if he had just received some form of salvation, clutching his student ID card as he knelt on the ground and wept.
In truth, Onizuka was also surprised; logically speaking, this person's feelings toward him shouldn't have been like this.
His original intention had merely been to squeeze the final bit of value out of this senior, hoping to acquire the test paper as cheaply as possible.
Yet, he hadn't expected that after applying just a little bit of pressure, the final result would be so far beyond his expectations.
He had previously heard rumors about the infighting among the second-years, most of which stemmed from a student council vice president named Nagumo Miyabi.
It seems he has been putting a great deal of pressure on this senior during this period!
To think that he would be the one to pluck the fruit in the end; it really is... interesting.
