Ryuen Kakeru's Moment in the Spotlight!

"So that's why Miyake wants to drop out?" Kamuro nodded, understanding Miyake's thoughts. "I think Miyake's actions are very responsible."

"Hmm, so I was thinking, what if one of the three of you also gets pregnant unexpectedly..."

A look of hesitation crossed Shuichi Kanda's face.

"Don't worry about me, Shuichi. It's perfectly fine if you drop out of school because of this." Kamuro smiled gently, or rather, she seemed to be looking forward to it.

"Both Honami and Kikyo are taking precautions against pregnancy, Shuichi, so you don't need to worry. Besides, even if something like that really happens, it's perfectly fine. I'm sure you'll handle it."

Kamuro gently stroked Shuichi Kanda's forehead as he offered words of comfort.

Shuichi Kanda smiled helplessly. If it were all outside of school, Shuichi Kanda would certainly have no problem.

His concern was that one of them would get pregnant, and he would definitely have to take care of her, which would mean two people would have to stay at the school.

Well, there's always a way out, and besides, things aren't even close to happening yet, right? It's okay, it's okay!

After figuring things out, Shuichi Kanda sat up and regained his composure.

"By the way, Masumi, Sakayanagi said he wants to invite you to team up for the Uninhabited Island Exam."

"Yes, she just contacted me, and Honami too. She's planning to bring them into the team as well." Kamuro nodded. "I've already agreed. After all, we're cooperating this time. If my group wins a top-three finish, Class A will also get some Class Points."

Shuichi Kanda nodded; it seemed Sakayanagi had indeed acted quickly.

Chapter 302 Ryuen Kakeru's Glorious Moment!

Afterwards, Kamuro discussed some matters related to the exam with Shuichi Kanda, and then went back after sitting with Shuichi Kanda for a while.

Meanwhile, after receiving a promise from Shuichi Kanda, Ryuen immediately set off to take action. However, by the time he was ready and approached Nanase Tsubasa, the current leader of Class 1-D, it was already around 7 p. m. after dinner.

"Hey, Nanase- senpai, it seems losing Hosen has been a huge blow to your Class 1-D. Not only did your Class Points drop to zero, but you also didn't do well on the last exam."

After the joint exam for first and second graders, although there were no further Special Exam for second graders, there was one exam for first graders.

In this exam, Class 1-D was in chaos because Hosen was no longer there. Although Nanase tried her best, she still couldn't turn the tide.

As a result, Class D came in last place in that exam, and the few dozen Class Points they had left instantly disappeared, making Class D already meager situation even worse.

Now that Ryuen brought this up right away, it was like rubbing salt into the wound, Nanase immediately became unhappy.

"If Senior Ryuen only asked me to come here to mock me, then I'm going back."

However, Ryuen didn't seem to care at all and even made a couple more sarcastic remarks.

"Heh, so impatient. No wonder Class D is such a mess. Compared to our class, your class is more like Class D."

Seeing that Nanase's expression was becoming increasingly blank, Ryuen pointed to the chair opposite her.

"Sit down. Regarding this exam, since your Class 1-D contributed, we certainly won't let you do your work for nothing."

"It seems you're also after our class's advantage of having zero Class Points." Nanase sat down opposite Ryuen and then made Ryuen's purpose clear.

"That's right, it seems you're not an idiot after all." Ryuen nodded approvingly. "The bottom three in this exam will have a lot of Class Points deducted, but there's one very important thing: when deducting points, the score won't be negative, which is why your Class D will come in handy."

Do you want our Class 1-D to take the bottom five spots?

Talking to Akito saves time, but Nanase was wrong this time.

"No, to be precise, the last three, the fourth and fifth from the bottom, you'd better pray for yourselves."

"And the compensation?"

Facing Ryuen, Nanase didn't want to waste any more words and went straight to asking about the reward.

"There's still one Invalidation Card left for first graders. After the item cards are distributed tomorrow, I'll step in and negotiate for you to get it back. After the exams, I'll give you an additional 12 million Private Points to waive the punishment of expulsion and ensure that your class won't be expelled."

In addition, I will give your class an extra 3.9 million Private Points as living expenses. How about that? Am I generous? After all, you currently have absolutely no source of points."

"Hmph, how generous of you, Ryuen." Nanase didn't think Ryuen was generous at all. "He took advantage of our class for nothing and only gave each of us 100,000 points for living expenses."

"You can't say that. Don't forget, I paid 12 million Private Points to prevent your class from dropping out. And this way, the other students in your class will feel more comfortable taking the Uninhabited Island Exam. If you're not willing, I'll have to negotiate with the students in Class D myself."

"That way I only need to find three people. I'll pay for their education and provide them with Invalidation Card to avoid being expelled. Then I'll give each of them 500,000 Private Points as living expenses. Wouldn't that save me more money?"

Seeing Ryuen's mischievous grin, Nanase was momentarily at a loss for words.

Because Class D is not a monolithic unit anymore. No, calling them a monolithic unit would be too kind; they're practically a disorganized mess.

What Ryuen needs is not just the entire Class D; he only needs three groups to replace the last three students.

If Ryuen really does what he just said, then Nanase is certain that Ryuen will succeed, and there will definitely be students in Class D who agree to Ryuen's offer for 500,000 Private Points.

Because Class D is really poor; 500,000 Private Points could last for three years if spent sparingly.

The reason Ryuen didn't do that was because he was considering what would happen later; saying these things now was just a threat to Nanase.

However, if they truly remain stubborn, then Ryuen will not be lenient and will immediately turn around to find the three students from Class D and issue this task.

At that time, it would be Nanase who would be in a passive position. If it were that guy Hosen, he definitely wouldn't leave a single penny for the students in Class D. So Ryuen was still grateful to Shuichi Kanda for sending that gorilla Hosen away early, which made this matter go so smoothly.

Ryuen didn't know much about the other students in Class D either.

The reason why Ryuen chose Nanase instead of anyone else is this: Nanase is different. Her personality is quite obvious, as anyone who does a little research will know. She will consider the students of Class D to some extent.

The reason he only approached her after dinner was because he had just sent someone to gather intelligence.

"You!"

Nanase's breath hitched. She finally understood that Ryuen, despite being just the leader of Class 2-D, was still incredibly difficult to deal with.

Furthermore, if we consider the Ryuen, if the leader of Class 2-D, which had a significantly lower Class Points than the top classes, was this difficult to deal with, then what kind of monsters were the leaders of the three classes ahead of them?

How foolish and reckless of them to target the leader of Class 2-A right from the start!

"I need to think about it."

But Ryuen immediately interrupted her with cold words.

"I don't have time to wait for you to consider. Make a decision now, or I'll go talk to the other students in Class D right now."

Ryuen had no intention of giving Nanase a chance to think; he wanted to finalize the matter now, since there were other things to discuss later.

Nanase gritted her teeth and agreed to Ryuen's request, because this exam was not very fair to the first-year students, and Class D was in a state of disarray, and its strength was not strong.

Even if Ryuen didn't come knocking, she would still approach the second-year students to negotiate, asking Class D to fill the last three dropout spots in exchange for points from them.

As for why we didn't hire first-graders, it's because first-graders are really poor.

"I promise you, I will select three students from Class D to fill the bottom three spots in this exam, but you must guarantee that you will give us the Invalidation Card from the first year and pay the other two students the points to avoid expulsion."

"No problem. Since you're so agreeable, I'll tell you some more good news. I'll also arrange for the second and third-year students with Invalidation Card to take the places of fourth and fifth from the bottom, so you can rest assured."

Hearing this, Nanase breathed a sigh of relief again.

In any case, no one in Class D will drop out this time, and they can even earn 100,000 points for each person's living expenses, which is enough.

Just as Ryuen was preparing to start the next project, he received Shuichi Kanda.

[The last place in the exam has been decided; Qiao Huan senior from Class 3-A, will take her place.]

Upon seeing this, Ryuen was slightly taken aback, but quickly recovered.

Although Qiao Huan and Ryuen had never spoken to the other person, they knew about him because Shuichi Kanda had spent 20 million Private Points during the Training Camp Exam to prevent him from being expelled, and even slightly sabotaged the Class 2-A at the time.

Are you going to scam me again?

Ryuen understood, but he also found it somewhat amusing that Nagumo, that idiot, hadn't even defused this bomb in his class yet; what a waste.

"The plan has changed. Your class only needs to be responsible for the second-to-last and third-to-last spots. The last place has already been chosen."

Ryuen's sudden change of heart made Nanase frown.

"Similarly, I will only pay 6 million Private Points and an Invalidation Card, and the reward will still be 100,000 per person."

Nanase nodded. Although she didn't know what tricks this guy was up to, it wouldn't do her any harm, so she had no problem with it.

"Now that we've covered that, let's talk about something else. I plan to hire all the students in Class 1-D for this exam, with the compensation remaining at 100,000 per person."

"Hire?"

Nanase didn't understand what Ryuen was up to.

"That's right, hiring. Anyway, with the abilities of your Class D, you won't get into the top three in this exam. Why not sell your labor to me? I'll arrange for the students to get the fourth and fifth from the bottom, so you don't need to worry about being expelled."

What do you want to do with us?

"It's nothing, just causing trouble for the third-year students," Ryuen said vaguely, not wanting to reveal the duel between Shuichi Kanda and Nagumo.

"If it's 100,000 per person, I think most of the students in Class D would agree, but I still need to ask their opinions first."

As she spoke, Nanase took out her phone and gestured to Ryuen.

"No problem."

Ryuen raised his hand and said readily.

Nanase, in the Class D group chat, asked if anyone would be willing to earn 100,000 Private Points on Uninhabited Island without the risk of being expelled, and someone immediately responded.

It was more like a scramble; within just a few minutes, over 80% of the students in Class D had responded and expressed their willingness.

He stood up, sighed, and then looked towards Ryuen.

"Our Class D agrees that we are willing to follow your orders while we are on the Uninhabited Island, but you must guarantee that you will give each of us 100,000 Private Points as a reward afterward."

"No problem." Ryuen readily agreed, then took out two contracts. "Since you've all agreed, then sign this contract. Not only you, but all the students in your class should sign it. I will ask the school to notarize it afterward."

The contract was simple. One of the clauses included what Ryuen had just mentioned: the students in Class 1-D, where Nanase was located, would follow Ryuen's orders on the Uninhabited Island, and Ryuen would pay each of the Class D students 100,000 Private Points after the exam.

If either party violates the rules, they will be expelled from school.

The other contract was for Class D to replace the second-to-last and third-to-last students, with a reward of 100,000 per person.

Seeing the contract, Nanase sighed again. Is this how second-year students behave? Compared to them, first-year students are far too naive.

"You have two hours to finish this, and then I will ask the school to conduct a fair review."

"I see."

Nanase clearly knew that things could get complicated if she waited too long, so after leaving, she immediately went to gather the students from Class D.

Furthermore, the students in Class D must absolutely not know that Ryuen approached them first; they must believe that she was the one who approached Ryuen.

Otherwise, some people will inevitably have ulterior motives. What Class D needs now is unity, not a small group of people going to Ryuen to get a lot of Private Points.

After seeing Nanase off, Ryuen immediately headed to her next destination, this time a karaoke room in Shopping Mall.

When he met Nanase, he arranged for Ishizaki and the others to invite the central figures of the remaining three first-year classes: Takahashi Osamu from Class 1-A, Yagami Takuya from Class 1-B, and Utsunomiya Riku from Class 1-C.

Furthermore, to prevent Ishizaki, who is stubborn as a rock, from clashing with the other party, he also sent Shiina to mediate the situation.

"Hasn't Ryuen arrived yet?"

Utsunomiya, who had been waiting for quite some time, was now getting impatient.

"What Ryuen? You're a first-year student. You should call him Ryuen."

Ishizaki was very displeased with Utsunomiya's direct address of his name and immediately corrected him.

Utsunomiya glanced at Ishizaki, then at Albert standing behind him, and then shut his mouth again, saying nothing more.

"Come on, don't worry, maybe Ryuen couldn't come because something came up."

The speaker was Takahashi Osamu from Class 1-A. Although he was a C+ with relatively low academic ability, he was good at getting along with anyone and was often called upon to participate in discussions.

Although Ishigami Kyo has the strongest data panel in Class A, he doesn't actually manage much. Takahashi handles most of the affairs in Class A.

"That's right. Besides, the seniors called us here for this exam. Even though we can't team up, we might be able to collaborate in other areas."

This is Yagami Takuya from Class B. His outward appearance is similar to Takahashi's; he's also very good at negotiating, and his academic ability is stronger than Takahashi's, after all, his hidden identity is that of an active student in the White Room.

It was thanks to Takahashi and Yagami's efforts to ease the tension that the situation in the private room could have been much worse.

After being persuaded by Takahashi and Yagami, Utsunomiya temporarily relented.

"I'll wait another thirty minutes at most. If Ryuen doesn't arrive by then, I'll head back."

"It didn't take that long, I'm here now."

No sooner had Ryuen finished speaking than Utsunomiya pushed open the door and walked in, then casually sat down on the sofa opposite the three of them.

"Could you please explain your purpose quickly? We are also very busy."

"So eager?" Ryuen raised an eyebrow. "Alright, then I won't waste my breath. I just finished a match, and I'm quite tired right now. Ishizaki, go get me a drink."

"Yes, Ryuen, everything is ready."
