Little Brother, You're the One Who Forced My Hand (Laughs)!

Thinking of this, Katsuragi took out the note from his pocket to check, then found the three people's contact information and started sending messages to confirm.

He received the news very quickly.

How do you know? I've never told anyone!

[Have you found the selection criteria for VIP?]

Why did you, Katsuragi, know I was VIP?

After reading these three messages from different people, Katsuragi once again donned his mask of anguish. What the hell did this lousy school put in Class D?

Is this the kind of quality students in Class D should have? Did we go to a fake school?!

Seeing the change in Katsuragi's expression, Shuichi Kanda smiled as well, "It seems you've also confirmed the information's authenticity, Katsuragi."

Katsuragi sighed helplessly, then nodded. "How exactly did you do that?"

"It was probably a flash of inspiration."

"What the hell? A flash of inspiration! "Katsuragi was speechless.

"So, you haven't finished any group's exams yet. Why is that? What exactly is your purpose?"

Ryuen has regained her composure. Now, even if she suspects the students in the class, it won't do any good. It's better to find out Shuichi Kanda's purpose.

If no agreement can be reached, then this discussion will become the last one. That bastard Shuichi Kanda will definitely organize people to finish all the exams immediately after the discussion ends.

This was evident from Hirata's expression, which remained unchanged as he sat next to him.

As for the three groups whose VIP were from Class D, the result was no longer that important; in fact, that bastard might just go along with it and give the points back to Class B.

This can be seen from Ichinose's performance.

When this guy found the rules in the afternoon, he went to Ichinose instead of me, which already revealed a lot of problems.

In your eyes, is Hiyori inferior to Ichinose? You bastard!

Not only Ryuen, Ichinose and Katsuragi were also looking at Shuichi Kanda, wanting to know what he was going to do next.

"It's simple. I said from the beginning that I want to achieve the result for the whole group." Shuichi Kanda smiled, then immediately revealed his fangs. "However, at noon today, the students from Class A didn't seem to be very cooperative, so I plan to take all of Class A's points this time."

"What did you say?" Katsuragi had lost count of how many times he had lost control of his emotions.

"I said, I want all groups to achieve result one, and then all the points your Class A gets must be handed over to me. Do you understand now?"

Shuichi Kanda's tone was full of contempt. He truly looked down on the guys in Class A. This is Class A? They're so easily discouraged by such a small setback. It seems that a few months of elite life have corrupted them.

"If you're unwilling, just be prepared to lose 150 Class Points. There's nothing more to say."

It was a threat, a blatant threat, but the students in Class A still had to accept it because they were already more than 100 Class Points behind Class B. If they lost another 150 points, the consequences would be unimaginable.

By then, even Sakayanagi probably wouldn't be able to turn the tide of the battle so easily, given a difference of nearly three hundred points.

Thinking of this, several students in Class A broke out in a cold sweat.

"You can take your time to consider it; there's plenty of time." Shuichi Kanda ignored them and instead looked at Ichinose with a smile. "I'll only take half from Class B."

"Then I'll thank you in advance."

Ichinose couldn't tell how many times she'd let out a helpless smile; it felt like this wasn't the first time she'd won by doing nothing.

However, in order for the class to quickly accumulate 20 million points and obtain a no-withdrawal voucher, Ichinose had no choice but to accept Shuichi Kanda's kindness.

As for Kanzaki Ryuji and the other girl, they had no objections, since Class D was just their ally, not their subordinate.

"So, how many points do you plan to take from me, Kanda?" Kanda Ryuen with a playful smile.

Upon hearing Ryuen's words, Shuichi Kanda's smile became even more genuine.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Why would I take your points? We're close partners."

Shuichi Kanda's words made Ryuen's face twitch involuntarily.

Inseparable partners?

What kind of outrageous and inappropriate language is this!?

Do you even believe what you're saying?

If we're such close friends, why didn't you talk to me about it this afternoon?

"Hmph! Stop spouting nonsense. You should know I don't care about a mere 150 Class Points." Ryuen said with a disdainful look, as if to say, "If you want to bribe me, just hand over the money."

Ryuen is right. He is different from Ichinose and Katsuragi. Ichinose and the students of Class A are obsessed with the name of Class A, and the gap between the two classes is not large. In fact, it only takes one exam to reverse the situation.

But Class C is different, or rather, Ryuen is different. This bastard doesn't care about Class Points at all. Compared to those unreliable Class Points that could be drastically reduced due to a single exam or violation, he trusts Private Points much more.

"So didn't I say I wasn't going to take any points from you? You can keep your 20 million points."

Shuichi Kanda.

"Hmph, those things should have been mine to begin with. Did you just intend to keep all the things you took from Class A and Class B for yourself? Give me half of those things, and I'll agree to this operation, and I promise I won't betray you."

Ryuen's purpose was obvious: in addition to the 20 million Private Points from his own class, he also didn't want to let go of the 30 million Private Points that Shuichi Kanda had taken from Class A and Class B.

"Sigh, Ryuen, I advise you not to be too greedy. The rules for the VIP Exam were calculated by me, and the combat strategy was also my idea. You got 20 million Private Points without doing anything, and you're still not satisfied?"

Shuichi Kanda admitted his mistake; he hadn't expected Ryuen to be so greedy. Ichinose got 10 million points and was quite satisfied.

Faced with the threat of 150 Class Points, Katsuragi and his friends would quickly cower and agree to Shuichi Kanda's demands.

But Ryuen the only exception. Shuichi Kanda hadn't expected this guy to be so greedy. "Are you testing my limits?"

Although I knew beforehand that this guy would be difficult to deal with, I didn't expect him to be this difficult.

Giving him 10 million was actually based on our previous cooperation, and the additional 10 million was a compliment to his courage. But this guy actually took advantage of the situation.

Therefore, Shuichi Kanda had no choice but to come up with a second plan. Ryuen, you forced me to do this. It's not a Plan B I prepared because I anticipated your actions.

Chapter 134 Little brother, you forced me to do this (laughs)!

In Shuichi Kanda's battle plan, the problems of three classes were all easy to solve.

Class A has been overtaken by Class B, and they definitely want to climb back up. However, they no longer have the chance in this exam. If they want to overtake them, they must proceed cautiously and carefully.

Therefore, they absolutely cannot afford to lose 150 Class Points; this is a situation they absolutely do not want to see. Thus, Class A has no choice but to agree.

Next is Class B. Compared to Class A, they have more Class Points. Although they have no chance in this exam, as long as Class A also fails, they will be able to successfully transfer to Class A next month.

Furthermore, Shuichi Kanda's initiative in speaking with Ichinose Shuichi Kanda the afternoon made them feel his respect for them as collaborators.

In addition, they already owed Class D a favor when they were on the Uninhabited Island, so they wouldn't object. In fact, they would be quite satisfied with getting 10 million points.

As for Class D, as long as you tell them that the 20 million points are used to guarantee one person's withdrawal from school, even if they are greedy, they will agree.

Some might say, "Didn't Kanda take 30 million points from Class A and Class B? Why not just use those?"

However, if such a guy really exists, it doesn't matter. Anyway, Shuichi Kanda has already given the 20 million yen belonging to Class D to the students in the class. Whether or not Hirata can collect it is his business.

Even if Class D is terrible, they probably won't cause trouble for Shuichi Kanda here.

However, if such a person truly exists, and it results in the class not collecting its funds, then congratulations to Yamauchi; he won't be needed for the next expulsion.

In any case Shuichi Kanda would never hand over the money he got from Class A and Class B.

As for the remaining Class C...

Shuichi Kanda had considered Ryuen to be troublesome and greedy, but he hadn't expected the guy's appetite to be so huge.

Ryuen didn't care about Class Points; otherwise, he wouldn't have accepted Sakayanagi's offer to die alongside Class B.

He only cared about his personal points, so Shuichi Kanda beginning that he would not take any Private Points from him.

Even so, Ryuen was still not satisfied. Even though Shuichi Kanda admired him, he was already getting a little annoyed.

"Ryuen, you're pushing me," Shuichi Kanda sighed on the surface, but was actually starting to laugh. "Are you really going to make trouble for me here?"

"As long as you agree to my conditions, isn't that enough? How about this, I'll compromise. I'll just give you the 10 million from Class B. What do you think?"

Ryuen feigned generosity and backed down, because he sensed that Shuichi Kanda might actually have some backup plan.

At the same time, he put himself in their shoes. If he had the knowledge of the exam rules and needed to persuade the other classes to achieve result one, it would be easy to deal with Class A and Class B, but how would he handle Shuichi Kanda?

The answer is no, because this guy doesn't care about Class Points either; the only way to persuade him is to bribe him with points.

"Ryuen, I originally wanted to get along well with you for a while, but unfortunately, now you have to hand over all 20 million points."

Shuichi Kanda and then took out his phone.

This action made Katsuragi and the others nervous, and Ryuen also narrowed his eyes.

Is this guy planning to end the exam right now?

Of course not, Shuichi Kanda still wants personal points.

Therefore, his purpose in taking out his phone was to expose Ryuen's illegal operations.

[It's 7:57 now. In less than three minutes, the school will send out information about the exam. So, everyone, put your phones on the table in front of you. Don't move without my permission.]

Ryuen's voice came through Shuichi Kanda's phone.

During the discussion in the afternoon, Ryuen inadvertently mentioned that he already knew the names of all the VIP.

However, Shuichi Kanda genuinely felt that given the atmosphere in Class C, the students would never voluntarily report it, so Ryuen must have done something extraordinary.

After deducing the selection rules for the VIP, he took out the Time TV while he was alone in the room and began searching for clues. This led him to see everything that Ryuen had done to his students that morning.

He also discovered a new feature: Time TV doesn't require setting up a space; you just need to lock the target.

So, after spending 500,000 Private Points, Shuichi Kanda finally obtained crucial evidence against Ryuen and recorded Ryuen's words on his phone.

There is no doubt that Ryuen's methods for obtaining VIP in the class were inappropriate. Although it sounds like an order, it was actually coercion, and thus, it undoubtedly violated the school's rules.

In this way, Shuichi Kanda in an invincible position. He originally didn't want to release the recording because he quite admired Ryuen.

So initially, Shuichi Kanda had no intention of taking this out, but oh well, little brother, you insisted on making trouble for yourself, so don't blame me.

And what are Ryuen's thoughts?

His first thought wasn't what the consequences would be, but rather—there's a traitor in the class!

The meeting place was completely closed off, making it impossible for outsiders to sneak in. Moreover, the recording was very clear, as if it were recorded right next to me.

But there was no one else around him at the time, and Shiina was sitting far away from him. Could it be that he had placed a recording pen or something similar next to the table where he was sitting beforehand?

Impossible!

I was moving around when I said those words, so if the recording source was under a table, the volume should have fluctuated.

The volume of what Shuichi Kanda played remained roughly the same from beginning to end, meaning the recording source was always very close to him.

Could it be that this guy has planted a bug on himself?

However, Ryuen quickly denied this possibility, because Shuichi Kanda had not contacted him in the past few days except for the night of the briefing.

Was a listening device planted on me during the briefing that night?

That's impossible, because we had no contact at all back then.

Was it someone else?

That's not right either, because no one had any physical contact with me at all.

Most importantly, I changed my clothes before leaving home this morning.

Wait, could it be that this guy broke into my room and planted a listening device somewhere on my clothes? Is my roommate actually the traitor?

Thinking of this, Ryuen immediately began checking his clothes, but found no trace of them. Had they been recycled?

Impossible! I'm staying in a double room, and my roommate is Albert. He would never betray me! So what exactly happened?

Damn it, how did that bastard even do that?

Ryuen was completely baffled.

Seeing Ryuen racking his brains but coming up with no results, Shuichi Kanda couldn't help but laugh.

"Hahaha, Ryuen, are you wondering how I got this?"

"Ah, I'm puzzled. There shouldn't have been any outsiders present when I did these things, and I chose my seats randomly, and I was moving around while I was talking, so how did you get that recording?" Ryuen asked with a gloomy face, then thought of a possibility.

"This... it's not synthesized, is it?"
