No Other Way Than Compensation Points

"Then, at the same time tomorrow, the Student Council will organize another meeting. At that time, if neither side produces new evidence or voluntarily admits their fault, we will make a decision based on the existing evidence.

I must remind Class D that, given the current situation, you must consider expulsion or even more severe penalties. That is all."

Seeing that the leaders of Class C and Class D had reached an agreement on postponing the hearing, Horikita Manabu, who had already seen through Class C's objective, sighed, stood up, and announced the decision to postpone the hearing to both parties.

"You two leaders from Class D, don't be in such a hurry to leave. Come with us to Class C first; we have decisive evidence here. If you aren't willing to come with sincerity, this time tomorrow will be the end of Class D."

After leaving the Student Council, Ryuen took the initiative to call out to Hirata and Kushida, extending an invitation to negotiate.

In order to maintain the stability of the class, Hirata had no choice but to follow in Ryuen's footsteps.

To prevent Hirata from maintaining the class's stability too easily, Kushida also had no choice but to follow in Hirata's footsteps.

"Then let me state my conditions first.

First, Sudo-kun needs to sincerely kneel and kowtow three times in the Traditional Literature Club activity room in front of the four victims from our class.

Second, your Class D needs to pool together 2,000,000 private points to purchase the information I previously offered to your class. Don't worry, I didn't intentionally inflate the price; if you bought this information from your homeroom teacher, it would cost the same amount.

Third, your Class D needs to provide me with 1,000,000 private points every month until graduation."

Ryuen made an exorbitant demand, presenting an unequal treaty to Class D. Of these three conditions, the first one was non-negotiable because I had already made preparations for it, intending to use this blade to strike at the heart of Class B.

The second and third conditions were negotiable regarding the private points; it just depended on whether Class D had the capability to do so.

"Impossible, our Class D simply doesn't have that many private points."

Upon hearing the conditions Ryuen proposed, Hirata's immediate response was a refusal. One must realize that Class D currently only receives 4,000,000 private points per month; Ryuen was demanding 3,000,000 all at once, plus 1,000,000 every month thereafter. This was something Class D could not accept.

Moreover, Hirata lacked the confidence to persuade the other students in Class D to pool their money together to save Sudo, especially since, to his knowledge, many students in Class D had already spent most of their points. Class D simply could not scrape together that many points right now.

"Don't panic. Take a look at this photo, how about it? Isn't it very clear and obvious? The way your classmate Sudo-kun bullied the students is truly dazzling!"

Ryuen pulled a photo out of his pocket; this was a frontal shot of Sudo taken by Hiyori, who had been lying in wait in the activity room at the time.

The photo showed Sudo sitting on a stool with blood on his hands, his expression slightly ferocious, his foot stepping on Ishizaki, who was bleeding.

This was a photo staged by me and Ishizaki and the others while Sudo was in a daze. With a photo like this, even if Sudo had a hundred mouths, he would never be able to prove his innocence.

"What? Scared? I'm a kind-hearted person; I can't stand seeing others suffer. How about a buy-one-get-one-free deal? Take a look at this second photo."

After putting the first photo away, Ryuen produced a second one. This photo had been taken by the Class C students who were blocking the door at the time.

The photo showed Sudo with blood dripping from his hands, and me lying on the ground clutching my stomach.

"How is it? Do you still remember what the Student Council President said when he announced the end of the meeting? Expulsion or worse. Sudo's expulsion will only result in you being deducted 300 class points.

But if I present these photos as evidence, and add on the fact that you openly committed perjury, even a deduction of 500 class points this time would be considered light.

If you agree to my conditions, then our Class C will withdraw this complaint. You can save your companion and also preserve your class points.

Whether to have more than half of your class points deducted at once, or to keep these points and your companion, you can choose."

The smile on Ryuen's face could no longer be suppressed; the traits of a villain were manifested in him to the fullest.

"Our Class D will absolutely not abandon Sudo-kun! Even, even if Sudo-kun really did commit such an excessive act, he has already shown signs of repentance.

From the information I've received, your Class C's Ishizaki-kun has been a delinquent since junior high. I learned from students from his hometown that he is very skilled at fighting and was feared by local students back in junior high.

I don't believe that three-on-one they couldn't beat Sudo-kun, so even if Sudo-kun is ninety-nine percent at fault, doesn't Ishizaki-kun and the others have that one percent of the fault?

Our Class D simply cannot come up with that many points. The cause of this incident was also due to a misunderstanding between the students of our two classes, so I feel that Class C should also bear a portion of the responsibility. Therefore, I request a certain reduction in the points!"

Upon realizing that there was no room left to salvage this matter, Hirata remained silent, and Kushida knew it was time for her to step forward.

Since paying the points was a foregone conclusion, she could only try her best to reduce the amount of compensation.

This way, after returning to the class, she could claim that she had done her best to help the class avoid a portion of the debt, and the question of why they needed to compensate Class C could be left entirely to Hirata to explain.

"Indeed, the students in our class were a bit thoughtless in their speech, so how about this.

Regarding the cause of this matter, let's split the responsibility seventy-thirty. Because our class's Ishizaki was attacked by your class's Sudo while he was trying to mediate the conflict.

As for the chase in the middle and the behavior in the activity room at the end, you must take full responsibility.

The first two conditions I proposed remain unchanged, but for the third, I can allow you to provide us with only 900,000 private points each month."

When Kushida urgently expressed her intention to negotiate a price reduction, Ryuen knew his opportunity had arrived and hurriedly satisfied Kushida's request.

"But our Class D really cannot come up with that many private points anymore. Even if we persuade the students in the class to take out all the points they have on hand, we still can't come up with 2,900,000 points. I believe Ryuen-kun's class should be in the same situation."

Upon hearing that Kushida had successfully negotiated a price cut, Hirata no longer remained silent and wanted to continue to lower the amount of compensation.
