Hosen Isn't Reckless-He's Just Crazy!

However, just as Hosen's fist was about to hit Ayanokoji, it stopped right in front of him, and the wind pressure generated by the fist directly blew Ayanokoji on both sides.

"It was just a joke, there's no need to panic like this, Kanda- senpai."

Seeing Hosen grinning from ear to ear, Shuichi Kanda narrowed his eyes slightly. "You're so arrogant, aren't you? I was just kidding today because I didn't fasten my Black Belt properly, or I'd be in big trouble!"

However, this Hosen is indeed not stupid. Although he seems to have a bad temper and is a delinquent, he is actually very meticulous. The violent aura he just exuded was genuine, and the punch he threw was a real heavy punch, but he was able to stop his fist in front of Ayanokoji. You can only say that he has something.

"I just regret that you didn't make it up. If you had, you might have had to say goodbye to this school."

Hiding behind Ayanokoji, Shuichi Kanda showed no fear of Hosen, while Ayanokoji was speechless. "Why don't you stand up and talk to him face-to-face? What's with using me as a shield?"

And you even told Horikita that my academic ability was at least an A; this is deliberate revenge.

However, it's clear that Ayanokoji, this repressed pervert, only ever internally complains.

As for why he didn't dodge, it wasn't that he couldn't dodge, but that he deliberately took Hosen's punch so that Shuichi Kanda send him away.

"Hmph! Bluster."

Hosen scoffed dismissively, then began to look around the Gymnasium.

"Tch! Nobody from Class D is here?"

Hearing Hosen's words, Nanase, who was standing next to him, slowly spoke up, "As for the second year, there are only a lot of students from Class B. Class A basically only has these few here. Class C and Class D hardly have any people here."

"Hmph, how dare you look down on us." Hosen sneered. "Let's go, Nanase."

Hosen and his group arrived quickly and left just as quickly; no one knows what they were doing.

At this moment, Ichinose also came over, and only after seeing that Shuichi Kanda was alright did she secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Are you alright?

"It's alright." Shuichi Kanda nodded, then grinned. "But this year's first-year students are really interesting. Looks like we'll have to give them a bit more challenging training."

He then looked at Ayanokoji and patted him on the shoulder. "Thanks, Ayanokoji."

Ayanokoji looked at Shuichi Kanda with a somewhat speechless expression.

"I hope you won't use me as a shield next time."

"You're the only one who can stop him here, right? If you don't step up, who will?"

Listening to Shuichi Kanda's self-righteous but shameless words, Ayanokoji turned his head away, not wanting to see him.

"It seems the first-year students aren't very welcoming of me, so I'll be going now."

Because of Hosen's words, the first-year students silently developed some hostility towards Shuichi Kanda, since the person who started turning deducted points into expulsion was right here.

However, Shuichi Kanda wasn't worried about this, because the basic tone of the exam had already been set: if a second-year student dropped out, a first-year student would also have to drop out. In order to avoid being expelled, the other party would definitely come knocking on his door to cooperate. The next step was to see who could be more patient.

Moreover, Shuichi Kanda had anticipated this, which is why he didn't plan to exert himself in this exam. Or rather, he had already exerted his utmost effort. If he hadn't leveled the playing field between first and second-year students, the second-year students might have been severely punished.

Since Shuichi Kanda has forcibly brought the situations of the two grades together, then it's enough to leave the rest to Horikita Hirata.

If they can't even handle this, then it just means they're utterly hopeless and destined to be low-level corporate slaves for life.

Moreover, even if they fail and things go wrong, Shuichi Kanda still has a last resort, but he really doesn't want to use it until that time.

After greeting Ichinose, Shuichi Kanda left with Kamuro, since they were just there to watch the fun anyway.

It would be foolish and reckless for Class A to try to decide the outcome based on social skills without Kushida's presence.

Horikita seemed to have seen through this as well, and immediately decided to head home, or rather, to go find the other students who hadn't attended the exchange meeting.

On the way out of the Gymnasium, just in case, Shuichi Kanda went to the restroom. When he came out, Horikita and the others had already left, only Kamuro was still waiting for Shuichi Kanda at the Gymnasium entrance.

"Let's go home and I'll help you with your lessons."

"Okay, I understand."

Kamuro didn't seem to be in a good mood, Shuichi Kanda smiled and ruffled her hair, which drew a snort of displeasure from her.

Afterwards, the two went back together. When they passed the first-year teaching building, Shuichi Kanda encountered Ryuen and others from Class D.

"You actually came straight to the first-year school building, Ryuen, you must have gotten lost, right?"

"Do you think I'm an idiot?" Ryuen retorted dismissively. "Speaking of which, you actually went to the Gymnasium? Anyone who goes there is an idiot, right?"

"Hehe, even if someone isn't good at studying, you can't call them an idiot. Otherwise, what are you?"

Ryuen's academic performance is only rated C on the OAA, so he's probably not much different from the people in the Gymnasium.

So Shuichi Kanda used this opportunity to his advantage, making Kanda Shuichi end up insulting himself.

"Hmph, clever words." Ryuen scoffed. "What, you're here to gather information too?"

"I was just passing by. I'm planning to hand over the victory in this exam, as long as no one in the class drops out. How about that? Isn't that generous of me?"

Shuichi Kanda shrugged.

"What are you planning now?"

"You really don't trust me." Shuichi Kanda smiled helplessly. "Anyway, I won't make a move until a bad combination appears."

"But there must be quite a few students in Class D with academic abilities of D and E. You need to hurry up, otherwise the younger students with higher academic abilities will all be snatched up by Sakayanagi and Ichinose."

"You don't need to worry about that. As long as the first-year students aren't idiots, they won't easily use up all their high-level combat power."

"Instead of betting on others, it's better to take the initiative," Shuichi Kanda smiled. "If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

Back in the dormitory, Shuichi Kanda took out his textbooks and began tutoring Kamuro. He had already memorized the first-year humanities subjects with Memory Candy, so he only needed to teach her how to study science subjects.

Last year, Shuichi Kanda taught her for a period of time, so he was quite familiar with both her learning methods and her study habits. As a result, Kamuro learned much more efficiently.

Two hours of tutoring after school each day is enough to stabilize grades, and can at least help a student with a C-level academic ability pass the exam.

After dinner, Kamuro went home; she wanted to review what she had learned that day.

The next day had passed, and still no one had chosen a partner. Even Ichinose, who was willing to help the first-year students, needed to ascertain the situation before making a decision. Blindly helping the first-year students could result in someone on her side being expelled.

During lunch break, Shuichi Kanda had eaten lunch early and planned to take a short nap before most of the students in his class returned. However, a commotion suddenly broke out in the corridor at that moment.

"Hey, hey, there are a few first-year students coming over here!"

The one shouting was a boy named Miyamoto. He usually got along well with Ike and was an ordinary student.

Damn it, these bastards are really annoying.

After moving up to the second grade, all four classes were located on the same floor. Coming up the stairs, Class A and Class B were on the left, while Class C and Class D were on the right.

Since the other party has already caused a commotion, we have no choice but to go out and see what's going on.

"Wait, Shuichi, I'll go with you too."

Shuichi Kanda stood up to leave, Miyake, who was not far away, followed him.

"I heard they almost got into a fight in the Gymnasium yesterday."

"Well, it's alright. We were just tricked by the first-years. And if a real fight breaks out, Ayanokoji is there too, so there's no need to worry about the outcome."

Although Shuichi Kanda said that, Miyake was still somewhat worried.

"Are you going out to take a look? I'll go with you."

Shuichi Kanda nodded, and then the two of them followed the students out of the classroom. Not only them, Hirata and Horikita had also left the classroom first, and in a short while, the classroom was empty.

Because everyone knows that this might be an opportunity to interact with first-year students.

As he stepped out of the classroom, Shuichi Kanda saw the same group he had met yesterday: Hosen Kazuomi and Nanase Tsubasa from Class 1-D.

No matter how you look at it, these two standing together give off a beauty and the beast vibe.

When Shuichi Kanda others came out, Hosen obviously noticed them as well, so he immediately walked over from where he had been looking around.

However, this time he didn't provoke them like he did yesterday, but stopped not far from Shuichi Kanda and the others.

"Everyone, I'm from Class 1-D 1, and my name is Nanase. This is also from Class D— " Nanase paused for a moment, and then Hosen introduced himself.

"My name is Hosen."

After they introduced themselves, most of the second-year students around them started looking up information about the two of them through the OAA. Not everyone was as capable as Shuichi Kanda and Ayanokoji of remembering all the students' names in a single day.

"To actually find the second-year teaching building all by himself, that's quite courageous. What, are they going to start yesterday's fight again?"

Upon seeing Hosen and Nanase, Shuichi Kanda spoke indifferently, his tone filled with displeasure.

You won't even let us take a lunch break? You deserve to die!

"Hmph, I'm afraid I might accidentally beat you, the frail Vice President of the Student Council, seriously, and then I might really have to drop out of school."

Hosen's words immediately angered several students in Class A. Although Shuichi Kanda was not easy to get along with, his importance to Class A was undeniable. How could they not be furious that someone would say such a thing?

Unbeknownst to many, Shuichi Kanda had already gained considerable prestige in Class A. Even the casual students in Class A were willing to stand up for him. Most importantly, they all understood that if Class A lost Shuichi Kanda, it might very well fall back to Class D.

"So you do have things you care about." Shuichi Kanda glanced at him. "If you're not here to fight, then what are you doing here?"

"I'm just here to confirm a few things. I heard that your Class 2-A was Class D when school started."

Upon hearing Hosen's words, Shuichi Kanda narrowed his eyes, and the surrounding second-year students were also quite surprised. How could he know about the possibility of his class advancing a grade after only one week of school? And this guy was even in Class D.

In other words, they already know the true nature of this school? They know that only graduates from Class A can obtain special privileges?

Let's confirm this first.

"You guys are really well-informed. That's right, so what brings you from Class D to our former Class D?"

Upon seeing Shuichi Kanda admit it, Hosen grinned.

"Your original Class D was a bottom-of-the-barrel group, which can be seen from the OAA. There were twelve guys with academic level D or below. If our Class D hadn't specifically selected you, you wouldn't have been able to form a decent team at all, right? So I'm here to help you stupid and incompetent people."

"What did you say?"

Hosen's taunts immediately enraged Sudo, who was standing nearby. They were now in Class A, and it had been so long since they had been mocked like this.

As a result, Hosen's attack caused many students in Class A to show anger on their faces.

Seeing this, Shuichi Kanda sighed inwardly. They clearly lacked the qualities of Class A, yet they possessed their arrogance—this was unacceptable.

"Oh? I know you, Sudo. You have an E+ in academics, and you're just as much of an idiot as you look."

"What did you say!"

Compared to Sudo, although Hosen also has a very fierce appearance, this guy's mind is much calmer than Sudo's.

Moreover, he was very eloquent; with just two sentences, he threw Sudo into disarray.

"Step back, Sudo." Shuichi Kanda glanced at Sudo, who immediately shut his mouth.

If anyone in this class, besides Horikita, could stop Sudo, it would be Shuichi Kanda.

"Hosen, right? You're right, our class does have a lot of worryingly slow learners with poor academic performance. It would be great if you could offer some help. Thank you very much."

In short, although the other party's attitude was not good, since they took the initiative to come to us for help, it's perfectly reasonable to express some gratitude.

As for his rudeness yesterday, that's a personal grudge, so let's put it aside for now and settle it when we have the chance.

Chapter 290 Hosen isn't reckless, he's just a madman!

Looking at this weakling in front of him, Hosen Kazuomi felt extremely displeased.

"Thanks? You don't actually think we're helping you without any conditions, do you?"

Hearing Hosen's words, Shuichi Kanda sighed. Just as he thought, had this guy gone mad?

"So what do you want to do?"

"I've calculated it. Our class only has 5 students with an academic level of D or below, which is 7 fewer than yours. In other words, for our transaction, we have to give up 7 more highly qualified students than you. Don't you think that's a bit unfair?"

Hosen raised his right hand, flexed his fingers, and looked arrogant.

So, I'm not asking you what you want?

"Simple. For each additional person, you just need to make up the difference of 500,000 Private Points. How about that? Fair enough?"

Before Shuichi Kanda could even speak after Hosen finished speaking, Horikita, who had been standing to the side, couldn't stand it any longer.

"You seem to have misunderstood something. Our positions are equal. Even if you don't team up, we can team up with others. And even if we unfortunately fail the exam, the first-year and second-year students will be expelled."

Shuichi Kanda glanced at Horikita and nodded.

"That's how it is, so you can talk in your sleep until you're fully awake. Since you're a freshman, I'll give you some pointers."

Shuichi Kanda stepped forward. "You just said it yourself, right? Our Class 2-A has the most students with D-level or lower academic ability, right? But you were deliberately ignoring a fact just now."

That means our class also has twelve excellent students with academic ability levels of B or above. If we were to exchange students one-on-one, even if your class wasn't willing, the other three classes could easily gather twelve students with lower academic abilities, right?
