100 Million Personal Points

"No need, we have been here the whole time."

Voices drifted from the shattered windows of the abandoned building, and security personnel began leaping out one after another.

Majima was very familiar with the owner of the voice.

"Chairman Sakayanagi!"

"I am already aware, Majima."

U Amakusa shrugged and said, "I have always trusted the school, Teacher Majima."

Majima snapped his gaze toward U Amakusa, his expression clearly asking, What is wrong with you, kid? Are you here to mess with me?

U Amakusa spread his hands. "Oh, come on, Teacher Majima, it's always better to have a few extra layers of insurance, isn't it?"

This place was nothing more than a stage for U Amakusa's performance; since he was going to send Kenichi Masano to prison anyway, he might as well squeeze every drop of value out of him.

Furthermore, neither Majima nor Chairman Sakayanagi had stepped in to stop him earlier.

"Student Amakusa, I understand that your whistleblowing is meritorious, but you have truly gone a bit too far."

Chairman Sakayanagi was quite satisfied with U Amakusa's maneuvering, even if it was a crime committed right in front of him.

Whether it was the recording or the footage, it perfectly proved this was a transaction; as long as the contents of the flash drive weren't illegal, there was no issue at all.

After all, this school was built on the principle of meritocracy.

Morality? That's for the winners to discuss later.

But what Chairman Sakayanagi hadn't expected was... that U Amakusa would have absolutely no bottom line.

Making Kenichi Masano take out a loan? Borrowing the school's points? Was he treating him like an ATM?

Yet, it also seemed perfectly logical; using any means necessary to secure more benefits for oneself was exactly what this school aimed to cultivate.

U Amakusa rubbed his head, looking embarrassed.

"Oops, I guess I got a little carried away. Chairman, let's put that aside—since I've performed a meritorious service, shouldn't there be a reward?"

Soon, the security personnel led Kenichi Masano away; if all went as expected, he was being secretly transported to the police station.

Thus, only U Amakusa, Teacher Majima, and Chairman Sakayanagi remained on the scene.

Of course, Chairman Sakayanagi had actually sent people to investigate everything thoroughly the moment U Amakusa tipped him off.

He had chosen to cooperate with U Amakusa to see exactly what the boy would do, and the result had not disappointed him.

Securing more benefits for oneself within a reasonable scope.

Kenichi Masano: This is extortion! Pure extortion!

"Rest assured, you will be compensated fairly."

Majima finally understood from the sidelines that U Amakusa had only brought him along to watch the show.

Between the points U Amakusa had extracted from Kenichi Masano and the ones he would receive from the Chairman, the total would reach a terrifying sum.

Is he showing off to me?

Did it even make a difference whether I was here or not?

Majima watched the dark mass of security personnel depart, pondering the necessity of his own existence.

"Since the matter is concluded, Teacher Majima and I will take our leave. I hope Student Amakusa can bring more surprises next time."

"Wait, wait, wait, Chairman, don't be in such a hurry."

Looking over, one could see U Amakusa grinning as he rubbed his hands together.

Chairman Sakayanagi smiled slightly. "Is there something else?"

"Chairman, I understand the situation with Kenichi Masano. He was taken away secretly for the sake of the school's reputation, right?"

U Amakusa stopped rubbing his hands and sighed dramatically.

"I love this school deeply. The beauty of Advanced Nurturing is something I have witnessed with my own eyes. Even though I've only been enrolled for less than a month, I already consider this my home. But after an incident like this, I'm afraid the things in my possession might not stay secure~"

The smile on Chairman Sakayanagi's face froze, and the corner of his mouth twitched. Is this kid threatening me?

That wasn't even the worst part; the sarcastic, mocking tone and lines were truly unbearable.

He had just finished extorting Kenichi Masano with those items, and now he was pulling the same stunt on him.

"Oh~ yaba~ I think the flash drive I gave that pervert earlier was actually full of comedy videos. Oh well, I guess there's no real difference, right? What should I do?"

"Two million private points." Chairman Sakayanagi helplessly announced his price.

"One hundred million private points."

"???????"

U Amakusa's outrageous demand caused both men present to widen their eyes in disbelief, and Majima's mouth even hung open in an "O" shape.

"Student Amakusa certainly knows how to joke."

Chairman Sakayanagi felt that cooperating with U Amakusa's operation had been a mistake.

"Three million private points, at most."

"50 million private points. Sigh, I've already halved my demand, what more do you want, Chairman? Isn't the school's reputation worth more than a few measly points?"

Truly shameless. This is nothing but extortion.

"3 million private points, not a single point more. Having that many points in just the first month is far too excessive compared to the other students," Chairman Sakayanagi said, waving his hands dismissively.

"30 million private points." U Amakusa held up three fingers.

"Amakusa-kun, let's settle on an additional 2 million points. Being too greedy isn't a good thing, you know."

As he spoke, Chairman Sakayanagi's mood was visibly plummeting. Heaven knows he never expected to be blackmailed by some punk one day.

"Deal. 5 million private points, plus the 5 million for the report, totaling 10 million private points."

Without a hint of hesitation, U Amakusa agreed immediately.

"Wait, when did I ever say the reward for a report was 5 million private points?"

Chairman Sakayanagi seemed to have found an opening to strike back, the corners of his mouth curling upward.

U Amakusa pointed a small finger. "Majima-sensei said so."

Chairman Sakayanagi snapped his gaze toward Majima, who had been standing quietly in the corner, and flashed him a dangerous smile.

Are you kidding me, bro?

What does this have to do with me?

When did I ever say that?

Majima shook his head frantically, signaling that he knew absolutely nothing about it.

When the two men looked back at U Amakusa, they found that he had already vanished.

"Majima-sensei, I recall you were supposed to get a raise for handling the previous batch of students, weren't you?"

"I believe so... Chairman..."

"Hmm, let's talk about that after you finish with this current batch."

Am I just a part of your little game!?

It's over. I never thought I'd have to deal with workplace sabotage at my age.

In his desperation, Majima felt a surge of anger, but it was fleeting. He dared to be angry but dared not speak out. Who could understand his pain?

"Come to think of it, who exactly is U Amakusa..."

Chairman Sakayanagi regained his composure, his expression turning serious.

"A Huben GK1 air pistol. That isn't a toy gun. Japan prohibits firearms, but hunting rifles and air guns are permitted with a license. Although the Huben GK1 is an air pistol, it can be used for hunting."

"As for U Amakusa's identity... U Amakusa is not his real name. He is Yu Shinomiya."

"The Shinomiya Conglomerate!?"

Majima gasped upon hearing this. He realized he had taken in an incredible student.

On the other side, U Amakusa, who had already made his escape, wasn't finished yet.

He sent a message on his phone to someone, and the recipient was...

[Ichinose, what I'm about to tell you concerns the future of your Class B.]
