The Power-Supremacy Classroom Backed by Black Technology Chapter 47

Hearing Shuichi Kanda's words, Kushida, who was drinking soup, jerked her hand, spilling broth directly—though fortunately not much, and it didn't splash onto her clothes.

Called it!

"I'm not like you. I have plenty of friends."

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you have lots of friends, you're amazing.

Then Shuichi Kanda picked up his phone and transferred 30,000 Private Points to Kushida.

"I'm transferring you 30,000 Private Points. After deducting what's needed to repair Sakura's camera, the rest is your reward."

30,000?

"Eating such good stuff every day, and you still have over 30,000 points left?" Kushida found it hard to believe. Class D only received 100,000 points at the start of the semester. If Shuichi Kanda ate this well every day, how could he possibly have 30,000 points remaining?

"You don't need to worry about that. My point sources are completely legitimate."

"Besides, unlike you, I don't have many friends."

How could it not be legitimate?

Aside from the nearly 20 million points grown by the Value-Added Bank, he also had 2 million swindled from Sakayanagi, plus the 100,000 living expenses for the first month given by Chabashira-sensei. A mere 30,000 was just pocket change.

After spending this time together, Kushida Kikyo also understood that Shuichi Kanda wasn't the type to sacrifice himself for others, so she accepted it without any psychological burden.

After all, having many friends was also a kind of pressure. Every time someone called to go out, even if she didn't want to go, she had to. Thinking about it, Kushida's stress came back up.

Chapter 78: What? Someone's Treating Me to a Meal?

Ever since Shuichi Kanda warned Sudo, that guy had been very well-behaved for the past two days. He probably realized the seriousness of the situation, or maybe he was holding his breath, wanting to see the humiliated expressions of those Class C guys.

And so, time directly arrived at Friday's lunch break.

Chabashira-sensei also specifically notified them that Class C had withdrawn their complaint against Sudo.

It seemed Sudo had withstood the pressure, and Class C hadn't found any decisive evidence, so they gave up that readily.

Shuichi Kanda thought they would have found a video of the three Class C guys and Sudo entering the Special Building together, then the three coming out with injuries.

It seemed that Ryuen had some skill and understood that this didn't prove anything. Without key evidence, Class D was in an unbeatable position.

In reality, Ryuen had actually found that footage.

Whether it was the video of Komiya, Kondo, and Sudo heading to the Special Building, the video of Sudo leaving the Special Building, or even the video of Komiya, Ishizaki, and Kondo coming out of the building.

But in that video, although Komiya and the other two had injuries, they were nowhere near as severe as the injuries they claimed when filing the complaint.

If he forced this as evidence, Shuichi Kanda from Class D might seize on it and turn the tables.

Therefore, when Ryuen still hadn't found evidence by Friday noon, he unhesitatingly withdrew the complaint to cut his losses.

Year 1, Class C.

"Hiyori, I remember you know Shuichi Kanda from Class D."

Taking advantage of the lunch break, Ryuen came over to Hiyori Shiina, who was reading a book.

Hearing this, Hiyori's little nose wrinkled, and then she nodded.

"Then please help me invite him out. Tell him to wait at the sushi shop on the Shopping Street at 5 PM today." Ryuen's tone carried an attitude that brooked no refusal.

As a member of Class C, Hiyori Shiina naturally couldn't defy Ryuen, the dictator. In fact, if it was about class competition, Hiyori Shiina wanted to contribute too.

But Ryuen meeting Shuichi Kanda didn't seem like it would be anything good. Hiyori Shiina, who considered Shuichi Kanda a fellow book lover, naturally wasn't willing to agree easily.

At the very least, she had to ask the reason first.

"Ryuen, what are you going to do?"

As one of the few talented people in Class C, Ryuen naturally didn't want to have a falling out with Hiyori Shiina, because he might need her help at some point. So he smiled casually and stated his purpose.

"Relax, I'm just treating him to a meal. If you're not at ease, you can come too. I don't mind paying for an extra person."

Ryuen felt he had already made a concession. If Hiyori Shiina still refused to obey orders, then he would deal with her as a traitor to Class C.

Obviously, Hiyori Shiina understood this reasoning, so she had no choice but to take out her phone and find Shuichi Kanda's contact info.

As she sent the message, she prayed he wouldn't come.

[Sorry, Kanda-kun, for bothering you. Would it be convenient for you to come to the sushi shop on the school Shopping Street at 5 PM? Ryuen-kun says he wants to treat you to sushi. Of course, if it's not convenient, you don't have to come!]

After eating lunch and returning to the classroom, Shuichi Kanda had just taken out his phone to browse the forums when he found an unread message.

Ryuen...

Shuichi Kanda stroked his chin. He had heard about this guy's deeds from Hiyori.

A tyrant who ruled the entire Class C through violence. Even Yamada Albert, a black guy whose ancestors were trafficked to America, had somehow been recruited under his command.

When it came to fighting, Albert was clearly the strongest, yet now he obeyed Ryuen without question.

As for why Ryuen wanted to meet him, Shuichi Kanda understood in his heart. He probably wanted to confirm whether he and Ryuen were the same kind of people.

And to show he had no ill intentions, he'd specifically chosen the Shopping Street—a place crawling with cameras everywhere.

So, if someone was offering to treat you to a meal, why wouldn't you go?

Not only did it save points, it also saved me the trouble of cooking—why wouldn't I go?

Besides, I'd seen Kushida eating ice cream at noon today, so it looked like her aunt had left.

And honestly, free stuff smells so good, why pass it up? He even thought about bringing someone along.

But Hiyori, you deliberately used an exclamation mark at the end—were you afraid I wouldn't realize Ryuen might be up to something?

With that thought, Shuichi Kanda pulled out his phone and started typing a message.

[No problem, but I don't like sushi. How about swapping it for yakiniku?]

Of course, besides not being used to raw food, yakiniku was also pricier, wasn't it? If someone's treating, you've gotta make them pay, right?

Hiyori Shiina glanced at her phone, then looked at Ryuen.

Ryuen naturally saw the message content. He just sneered and made a decision.

"Agree to him."

[Ryuen agreed. I'll be there too.]

After thinking for a moment, Shuichi Kanda ultimately didn't bring up the idea of bringing someone along—that would be pushing it too far.

[Alright, see you then.]

Since he didn't need to cook, Shuichi Kanda attended a club activity for the first time in a while, which had Hashizuka-senpai marveling.

Today, Shuichi Kanda was working on a crossbow. Compared to a bow, this thing required much stricter wood selection, and making a perfect crossbow relied entirely on experience.

But it seemed like something he'd never actually use, so Shuichi Kanda was just curious—he didn't plan to finish it.

When it got to around four o'clock, Shuichi Kanda took his leave early. As support staff, he didn't have to stick to the club's practice schedule, as long as he didn't cause trouble for the regular members.

At five o'clock, Shuichi Kanda arrived at the school's only yakiniku restaurant with five minutes to spare.

Speaking of which, the school's shops were mostly monopolized—only the cafés had multiple options.

When he reached the yakiniku place, Shiina was already waiting at the entrance.

Seeing Shuichi Kanda's figure, Shiina immediately approached, her expression carrying a hint of apology.

"Sorry, Kanda-kun."

"You didn't do anything wrong—no need to apologize at all. Besides, there are cameras everywhere here. No matter how reckless Ryuen gets, he won't make a direct move."

Seeing her apologetic look, Shuichi Kanda offered some reassurance.

"And besides, if Ryuen's going to go to such expense to treat me, how could I not come?"

"Thank you, Kanda-kun." Hiyori Shiina forced a faint smile. "Let's go in, then."

And so, under the jealous gazes of most of the surrounding male students, Shuichi Kanda was pulled into the yakiniku restaurant by the beautiful Hiyori Shiina.

Chapter 79: How About We Cooperate?

After entering the private room in the shop, Shuichi Kanda realized that Ryuen hadn't bothered to wait for the two of them—he was grilling meat on his own, looking less like a tyrant and more like an ordinary diner.

"Have a seat, you two."

Ryuen casually picked up the metal tongs and flipped the beef slices on the wire grill.

Watching this, Shuichi Kanda's eyebrow twitched.

What the hell are you grilling?

No attention to the heat at all—can what you make even be edible?

Huh?

So Shuichi Kanda grabbed another pair of tongs beside him and stopped Ryuen's motion.

"Huh?"

Ryuen froze for a moment as his tongs were pushed aside. Was this a challenge?

"Someone who doesn't know how to grill shouldn't waste these precious ingredients."

And just like that, their first exchange wasn't about class matters at all—it was about beef.

But Ryuen was curious to see what Shuichi Kanda could do, so he set down his tongs.

"Then I'll wait and taste your skill."

Glancing at him, Shuichi Kanda waited, watching the heat as he flipped the meat slices, brushed oil on them, flipped them again for a few seconds, and sprinkled on seasoning.

Then he evenly distributed the meat slices from the grill.

"Eat it while it's hot—it won't taste good cold."

Ryuen smirked, picked up his chopsticks, grabbed two slices, and popped them into his mouth.

Shiina quietly thanked him before joining the feast.

The moment Ryuen tasted Kanda's grilled meat, his eyes lit up. It was definitely better than his own.

"Not bad skills. How about you come work for me from now on?"

Hearing Ryuen's words, Shuichi Kanda immediately looked at him like he was an idiot.

"Two thousand points is nothing. If I wanted, I could scrape that together in no time."

Ryuen didn't mind Kanda's stare and promptly made his bold declaration.

So you've got a Value-Added Bank too?

"No need. Just say it—what did you call me here for?"

"Can't you guess why I called you here?"

Glancing at Ryuen, Kanda began placing fresh meat onto the wire grill.

"No idea."

That blunt reply made Ryuen choke for a moment, then a sneer crept onto his face.

"Looks like you're not that sharp either. I'm starting to think I picked the wrong person."

"Oh, right, right, right. So you're not paying for this meal?"

Kanda looked up at Ryuen with a faint smirk.

And the moment Ryuen saw Kanda's expression, he knew—this guy was messing with him.

"Hmph, you've got one hell of a nasty personality... I'll be direct. I want you to stay away from the students in my class."

As soon as Ryuen said that, Shiina's expression soured beside him.

And Kanda naturally took note of all of it.
