The Supremacy Classroom Backed by Black Technology Chapter 50

So the problem had become nearly unsolvable. Sakura's camera was broken, but it contained precious data, and if she wanted it repaired, this was the only shop in the school.

And the clerk at this shop was some disgusting thing of unknown origin.

Shuichi Kanda had also examined the camera's structure. Its memory card was integrated with the camera itself, almost impossible to extract directly. To get it out, the only option was to disassemble it.

But if even after disassembly, the storage device still couldn't be removed, then he'd have to go back to that shop.

MD, an infinite loop!

Forget it, he'd just open it up and take a look first. If it really didn't work, he'd figure something out later.

"How about I take out the memory card inside your camera for you?"

Sakura Airi froze for a moment, then shook her head.

"This model's storage device is connected to the camera. There's no way to remove it."

Great. A real infinite loop.

Shuichi Kanda started thinking about how to break the deadlock.

If the other party's hands were already dirty, that would be easy.

But since they weren't, he'd have to actively create an opening. With that thought, Shuichi Kanda turned his gaze to Kushida.

"What do you want?"

The moment Shuichi Kanda's eyes landed on her, Kushida felt a chill run through her entire body.

"Kushida, you go seduce that clerk."

"Huh?"

Even Kushida let out an incredulous sound, so loud it drew the attention of almost everyone in the café.

At the same time, she instinctively stood up, looking at Shuichi Kanda with an expression that said, "Are you kidding me?"

Seeming to realize she was drawing too much attention, Kushida quickly sat back down.

"I can't do something like that! And what exactly are you trying to do?" Though Kushida wanted to kick Shuichi hard, her persona wouldn't allow her to do that in public.

"I could tell from his face that guy's no good, so I wanted you to find the evidence."

"Then just say that properly! Don't go around saying 'sed... seduce'..."

Seeing Kushida's expression, Shuichi Kanda realized his joke had gone too far and quickly apologized.

Chapter 83 — Ryuen, Catch!

After discussing things for a good while in the café, they still couldn't reach a conclusion.

That clerk might look disgusting and casually hit on high school girls, but there was no proof he'd done anything bad inside the shop.

"I'm sorry for making you all worry about my problem."

Sakura Airi's words made Shuichi Kanda feel a bit embarrassed, since it was his own scheme that had caused all this.

Feeling guilty, Shuichi Kanda shook his head. Was he going to have to pull the same trick again?

"So, please, just come with me to get it repaired."

No choice. It had to be this way.

So the three of them returned to the shop they'd visited before.

When that familiar clerk saw them come back, a smug expression even appeared on his face, which made Shuichi Kanda even more irritated.

As Shuichi Kanda and the others reached the counter, the clerk made an unconscious movement that caught Shuichi Kanda's attention.

He glanced toward the row of vertical display cases on his left.

Following the direction of his gaze, Shuichi Kanda immediately spotted something off.

Back when he'd installed a pinhole camera in the peephole, Shuichi Kanda had done some research on cameras, so he was certain that on the third shelf of that display case, the camera in the very center had its lens open.

Based on the angle, the target of the shot should be Kushida's... chest.

But it was better to have a professional confirm it.

So while Kushida was negotiating with the other party, Shuichi Kanda quietly asked Sakura.

"Sakura, can you tell if that camera is in working condition?"

To avoid being heard by the clerk, Shuichi leaned close to Sakura's ear.

Feeling the warm breath from Shuichi Kanda's mouth made Sakura's head a little dizzy, but she still followed his direction and looked over.

Then she nodded affirmatively.

So that clerk really was no good. Shuichi Kanda felt a bit relieved.

And so, while the clerk was inviting Kushida to go watch an idol concert playing at the cinema, Shuichi Kanda reached out and grabbed the black camera that was secretly filming.

Shuichi Kanda's move made the clerk, who had been chattering away, freeze for a moment. In that instant, Shuichi Kanda had already succeeded.

He immediately started checking the contents inside. The moment he saw them, Shuichi Kanda knew his guess was right—this bastard really wasn't human.

He just completely failed to consider who it was that had installed a pinhole camera in that peephole.

The shop assistant who had witnessed Shuichi Kanda's series of actions lunged at him like a madman, startling Shuichi into taking two quick steps back.

The assistant consequently slammed into the glass counter in front of him.

"Give it back!"

As if I'd give it back to you, you bastard!

But seeing that the other party clearly wasn't about to let this go and had even come out from behind the counter, Shuichi Kanda furrowed his brow.

Although this guy didn't look like much, he himself was obviously even weaker—there was no way he was a match for him.

If the other party snatched back the camera and deleted what was inside, it would all be over. What to do? What to do?

Damn it, if only Miyake or Hirata were here right now, or even Sudo would do.

Should he hand it over to some other shop assistant on the street? What if they covered for each other?

Just as Shuichi Kanda was frowning and racking his brain for a way out, a vaguely familiar red figure appeared at the corner of his eye.

Then Shuichi Kanda rejoiced, directly tossing the camera over while shouting at the top of his lungs, "Ryuen, catch!"

Startled by Shuichi Kanda's sudden yell, Ryuen looked up to see a black object flying toward him.

Why did this scene feel so familiar?

Still, he reached out and caught what Shuichi Kanda had thrown.

Good thing I played baseball in middle school, or this might not have gone so well.

The assistant who had already rushed out immediately shifted his target from Shuichi Kanda to Ryuen, who was now holding the camera.

Although Ryuen didn't look like someone to mess with, if the contents of that camera were discovered by the school, his future would be ruined.

As the camera's owner, he knew very well what incriminating things were inside.

Ryuen was completely baffled when he caught the camera. What the hell? Who was this rabid dog in front of him?

But before he could think further, the madman had already charged up to Ryuen, trying to snatch the camera from his hand.

Just as he was about to succeed, a massive black fist descended from above, smashing into his face and sending him flying.

He crashed heavily several meters away, still struggling to get up despite lying on the ground.

Seeing this, Shuichi Kanda breathed a sigh of relief. Ryuen, you really came at the right time.

At the same time, he reflected that he couldn't be so reckless next time—he needed to accept the fact that he was weak.

Kushida and Sakura beside him seemed to have been scared stiff.

After giving them a calming look, Shuichi Kanda walked toward Ryuen, who was also approaching him.

Finally, the two groups met on either side of the fallen assistant.

"Kanda, what's this about?"

Ryuen said, raising the camera in his hand.

"Why don't you check the contents first?"

Hearing this, Ryuen opened the camera and saw various shots of breasts wrapped in clothing.

"I see. This belongs to that guy?"

"Who else?" Shuichi Kanda shrugged. "Consider it a gift to you. If you hand it over to the student council, you should get some kind of reward. Think of it as payment for helping me out."

"You bastard, you actually used me."

Ryuen chuckled without refusing. He felt it was his due.

The commotion immediately drew the attention of the mall's security, and soon security personnel arrived on the scene.

"What's going on here?"

A pair of people Shuichi Kanda hadn't expected to see also appeared—Horikita Manabu and Akane Tachibana in casual clothes.

Whoa, the student council president and secretary on a holiday date.

"Perfect, saves me a trip." Ryuen walked over with the camera. "This scumbag seems to have done something he shouldn't have."

Horikita Manabu glanced at the grinning Ryuen, then at Shuichi Kanda beside him, and felt a headache coming on. Were these two working together?

Shuichi Kanda was equally speechless. President Horikita, why couldn't you have shown up earlier? If you had, I wouldn't have had to hand this reward over to Ryuen!

Chapter 84: So, There Are a Lot of Chance Encounters on Weekends

After taking the camera from Ryuen, Horikita Manabu gave it a single look before handing it to Akane Tachibana beside him.

Then, Horikita Manabu pulled out his phone and displayed his student ID.

"I am Horikita Manabu, student council president of this school."

Upon hearing Horikita's self-introduction, the mall security confirmed his student ID and immediately became serious.

"Detain this man immediately and await further processing."

The security personnel promptly carried out Horikita's order.

Yes, an order.

In that moment, Shuichi Kanda and Ryuen once again understood just how much power the Student Council President wielded at this school.

To think he could even pull off something like this directly. Impressive.

"Then, who discovered this?"

He wanted to admit it, but forget it—offending Ryuen like that really wasn't a good idea, and more importantly, it wasn't very moral.

"Actually..."

"Half and half."

Horikita Manabu furrowed his brow. "Half each?"

Seeing Ryuen say this, Shuichi Kanda shut his mouth. Since you're extending an olive branch, I can't exactly refuse the gesture, right?

For Ryuen, this was a freebie. On top of that, he'd seen that Shuichi Kanda was capable of stirring up even more trouble than he'd anticipated.

So throwing the guy a bone didn't seem like a bad move.

"Then let's leave it at that." Horikita Manabu didn't pass judgment on the spot, deciding instead to consider the matter after returning.

Meanwhile, Akane Tachibana beside him wore an unusually stern expression, her cheeks puffed with indignation.

"President, there's no way we should let that guy off easy this time."

Clearly, she'd seen the contents of the camera and immediately began whispering in his ear.

After asking Ryuen for his information, Horikita Manabu left the scene with Akane Tachibana. Once he was gone, Shuichi Kanda and Ryuen Kakeru turned to face each other.

Then Ryuen opened his mouth to praise him.

"Pretty capable, aren't you."
