Final Verdict / Chapter 296: Subduing the Enemy Without Fighting ...

"Kanda, this is the witness you requested to be found. What do you have to say now?" Nagumo looked at Shuichi Kanda with a smile.

Shuichi Kanda simply kept his head down, and then a burst of laughter came from him.

"Hmph hmph hmph, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Shuichi Kanda suddenly raised his head, his face filled with a joyful smile.

"Excellent, excellent! This was truly a great show. I'm starting to wonder if Hosen, that muscle-headed idiot, really came up with this. It was absolutely brilliant."

"Kanda, if you can't produce any solid evidence, then we can conclude that you stabbed Hosen. At that point, you'll not only be expelled, but you'll also be sent to the police station."

Seeing Shuichi Kanda's expression, Nagumo 'kindly' offered a reminder.

"Oh, I see. You just want evidence, right? I'll show it to you right now."

With that, Shuichi Kanda left his seat.

"What you up to?"

"It's nothing, just borrowing this classroom's projector."

As he spoke, Shuichi Kanda connected his phone to the classroom projector. After setting it up, he played a video of Hosen taking a knife out of his pocket, rushing towards Shuichi Kanda, and then stabbing himself in the foot with the knife.

The video even captured Ayanokoji, who had been hiding all along, including the Ayanokoji where he rushed out to stop Hosen and was pulled back by Shuichi Kanda, and even the scene where Nanase Tsubasa pulled Suma Norinori to the scene.

Judging from the angle, this video is an aerial shot, an angle that Shuichi Kanda specifically sought out. Moreover, Shuichi Kanda spent hundreds of thousands of points for these few minutes of video.

"Hey everyone, surely someone has seen a drone with a camera before, right? Or does someone think this video of mine is a composite?"

A mocking smile appeared on Shuichi Kanda's face. Once this video was released, the truth was immediately revealed.

Synthesize? Are you kidding me!

Does creating a composite video take no time?

Even if there are accomplices outside, there's absolutely no time to synthesize a video.

We need to be logical!

Therefore, there's only one truth: this video is real!

Silence fell in the room. Ayanokoji stared blankly at Shuichi Kanda. When was this filmed? How come I didn't know about it?

Meanwhile, Chabashira Sae's usually tense face broke into a smile.

On the other side, Nanase looked a little dazed, Suma Norinori looked unwell, and Amasawa looked completely bewildered.

Even Nagumo, sitting on the judge's bench, looked extremely grim.

"Alright, now what do you have to say?"

Shuichi Kanda unplugged his phone, returned to his seat, and looked at Nanase Tsubasa, a first-year student, and the homeroom teacher of Class 1-D with a cold smile.

"Since the truth is so obvious, we have nothing to say and no way to refute it; it's my fault for not educating you properly."

Suma Norinori closed his eyes; it was too late to say anything more now.

Shuichi Kanda looked at Nagumo on the stage, seemingly urging him to deliver his verdict.

Nagumo sighed, glanced at Shuichi Kanda, and then looked towards the first-year students.

"Hosen Kazuomi from Class 1-D, committed assault with a knife... Well, I won't go into the details of the crime, it's too complicated. In short, Hosen Kazuomi are expelled, and Class 1-D will have 300 points deducted from their Class Points. Teacher Suma, do you have any objections?"

Suma Norinori nodded without objection. Perhaps this was fate. Hosen was ruthless and decisive, but unfortunately, he was one step behind.

Regarding the previous chapter

The testimony of Amasawa in the previous chapter has been revised. The previous version didn't quite fit her character in the White Room; it was foolish for her to get herself involved so directly. In the revised testimony, Amasawa extricates herself from the situation, which feels more reasonable.

Chapter 301 Ming Akito, You've Got It!

After leaving Tsukishiro's office, Shuichi Kanda immediately went to find Ryuen, whom he had just met.

This guy had experience surviving alone in the wilderness during his first-year Uninhabited Island Exam. Although he's a tough opponent, no one is more reliable as a teammate.

Of course, once you've secured your victory, you must be wary of his betrayal. After all, he betrayed Katsuragi without hesitation for greater gains, making him a guy with a criminal record.

But that doesn't matter. As long as he's fed, even if Ryuen takes the last five spots this time, he won't even flinch.

The price offered by Shuichi Kanda was one that he absolutely could not refuse.

"We meet so soon. You look so serious. Did something happen?" Ryuen teased Shuichi Kanda as soon as they arrived at the agreed restaurant.

"It wouldn't be an accident, but this time it's definitely a big deal."

As he spoke, Shuichi Kanda took out his phone, then pulled up a photo of the contract he had just signed with Nagumo, and slid the phone off the table.

"What's this?"

Ryuen initially didn't care about Shuichi Kanda's actions, but he immediately became uneasy after seeing the contents of the contract and the amount of Private Points that came with it.

"How did you do that!?" Ryuen stood up, leaned forward, and stared intently at Shuichi Kanda from less than 30 centimeters away.

What are you asking?

As Ryuen's face grew larger in his line of sight, Shuichi Kanda a chill and quickly leaned back in his chair to distance himself from him.

"I'm talking about Private Points. Why do you have so many Private Points?"

"Some of it was extracted from Class A, some from the VIP Exam, and some was left to me by the former Student Council President before he graduated."

Since Horikita Manabu is no longer at the school, the source of these points can't just be randomly attributed to him.

Furthermore, there's no way to contact anyone inside or outside the school, so Horikita Manabu is definitely going to take the blame!

After a brief calculation, Ryuen calculated the price difference: fifty million. Horikita Manabu left fifty million Private Points to Shuichi Kanda.

Horikita Manabu could have exchanged these Private Points for Japanese yen, but he actually gave them all to Shuichi Kanda before graduation?

Why would he give you so many points?

"Perhaps it's because I helped him. In any case, the source of these points is perfectly clean, so you don't need to worry."

Shuichi Kanda didn't want to elaborate on the origin of these points, since they were made up, and the more he said, the more mistakes he would make.

On the other side, Ryuen also sat back down in his seat and began to regain his composure.

"This exam is undoubtedly disadvantageous for you. Even if you have Koenji as your trump card, it doesn't guarantee you an absolute victory."

Shuichi Kanda eyebrow, disagreeing with Ryuen's statement.

"Koenji's physical fitness is definitely not a problem, and that guy looks very well adapted to outdoor life. It's not an exaggeration to say that he's the strongest guy in the whole school."

Ryuen shook his head.

"If we're just talking about physical attributes, he's definitely the strongest guy in the whole school, so if it's a fair fight, Koenji would probably win first place."

That's why, during our discussion just now, Sakayanagi and I directly gave up competing for first place in this exam.

At this point, Ryuen changed the subject. "But this exam isn't that simple. I can see right through Nagumo at a glance. He appears respectable on the surface, but he's actually a scoundrel. If things go wrong, he'll definitely try to sabotage Koenji."

"A dirty trick, huh?" Shuichi Kanda sneered. "Well, I'm really sorry, but I'm least afraid of being tricked. In that case, I can give them a taste of their own medicine."

Shuichi Kanda usually doesn't use underhanded tactics first, but if the other party does, Shuichi Kanda won't hold back. He'll show them what real underhanded tactics are all about!

Furthermore, Shuichi Kanda knew that Nagumo would definitely resort to underhanded tactics this time. However, given Koenji's Tarzan -like physical abilities and beast-like sense of danger, if Nagumo succeeded, Shuichi Kanda could laugh at Koenji for the rest of his life.

Upon hearing Shuichi Kanda's words, Ryuen fell silent. He seemed to recall trying to sabotage Shuichi Kanda before, but it seemed... he had failed every time?

No, he succeeded once. He managed to scam 20 million yen during last year's Sports Festival, but looking back, it was all intentional. He lost everything in the subsequent battle exams.

Thinking of this, Ryuen's eyebrows twitched a few times, then he stopped worrying.

"So what do you plan to have me do? And what are you prepared to give in return?"

It's so easy to talk to Akito, Shuichi Kanda thought with a smile.

"It's simple. While on the Uninhabited Island, as long as we don't fall into the bottom five, lead Class D to provide full support to Koenji."

"Hmph, you think that guy needs my support?" Ryuen's lips curled into a mocking smile.

"No matter how strong he is, he's still just one person. If Nagumo sends people to interfere with him while he tries to score points himself, even Koenji would probably be in trouble. So all I need you to do is lead people or command others to help Koenji out of the Koenji when he's being harassed."

"I see." Ryuen nodded, then a smile appeared on his lips. "So, what kind of reward are you going to pay me?"

Demanding payment immediately after deciding what to do is very typical of Ryuen.

"It's too early to talk about these things now. I'll only get paid if I win."

"Of course I know, but I'll feel more at ease if we discuss these things beforehand."

"I see. Name your price." Shuichi Kanda crossed his arms and then crossed his legs.

"I want half of the points that Nagumo lost to you!" Ryuen's eyes sharpened.

Half?

Nagumo has 120 million Private Points, do you want half of that?

That's sixty million!

While Shuichi Kanda no longer cares about the amount of Private Points he has, Ryuen's mouth is just too big. Isn't he afraid of bursting at the seams?

"Impossible. You need to understand that with your help alone, we can't completely stop the entire third-year group from Nagumo's side," Shuichi Kanda immediately refused.

"Don't worry, what you're worried about is just those fickle first-graders. I'll take care of that for you."

Ryuen seemed to see through Shuichi Kanda's worries and immediately took the initiative to offer advice and solutions.

"You have a way to deal with those idiots in the first year?" Shuichi Kanda's face immediately showed a look of doubt.

That's right. In their eyes, the first-year students were a bunch of opportunists and idiots, their methods were too naive, and they couldn't see the situation clearly.

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have asked you for so much."

Shuichi Kanda was still considering whether this was the right thing to do.

"I'll also take care of things with Sakayanagi for you. Just think of it as hiring one class for ten million, and you've hired six classes in total."

If that's the case, Shuichi Kanda doesn't think it's a big deal. After all, it's Nagumo's money, so Shuichi Kanda doesn't care. Besides, for him, points are already dispensable. Even with his current advanced technology, he can easily earn enough money to last forever, not to mention that there will be even more advanced technology coming in the future.

In addition, he also promised to help Ryuen complete its 800 million points plan, so consider this 60 million as a small gift for the initial cooperation.

If you want a horse to run, you have to feed it well. This 60 million is enough to allow Ryuen to exert 200% of its operational capacity.

"Okay, if I win the bet, I'll give you half of the points I won from Nagumo, which is 60 million!"

Upon hearing Shuichi Kanda's words, Ryuen finally smiled with satisfaction.

"Wait for my good news, I promise you won't be disappointed."

After saying that, Ryuen left the restaurant with an excited smile, not even bothering to eat. After all, for him, helping Shuichi Kanda win and getting his share of the reward was more important than eating.

After entrusting these tasks to Ryuen, Shuichi Kanda ate something quick to fill his stomach and then returned to his dormitory.
