Hehehe~

Convenience store.

The young woman at the front desk was bored, scrolling through a web novel on her phone.

Naturally, this was perfectly normal; at this hour, classes were in session, so there wouldn't be a rush of customers.

That was until a voice interrupted her reading.

"Hello, is the manager in? Could you please help me contact them?"

The clerk didn't dawdle and immediately called the manager over.

As luck would have it, the manager was nearby.

The two of them went to the staff break area to sit down.

"Young man, you should know that you aren't allowed to buy alcohol at your age."

The manager frowned as he looked at the student in the school uniform sitting across from him.

U Amakusa had already explained his purpose, which was why they had come to the break room to talk.

"I am well aware. I'm 18, but you have to be 20 to purchase it, so I'm not the one buying."

U Amakusa continued, "My teacher needs it. Let me introduce myself: I'm U Amakusa from Class A."

"Majima told me the teachers are having a get-together, but since the school doesn't have an izakaya like the outside world, he asked me to come to the convenience store to buy some beer."

After listening to U Amakusa's explanation, the manager nodded thoughtfully.

In truth, the moment he heard the words Class A, he was already more than half convinced.

U Amakusa also understood the manager's concerns; selling alcohol to minors under 20 in Japan was against the law.

With that, U Amakusa dialed Majima's number.

On the other end, Majima, who was in the middle of teaching, frowned and reached into his pocket.

He kept his phone on silent during class, but the vibration was still enabled.

"Students, think about this problem. I'll be calling on someone shortly."

He stepped outside the classroom, checked the contact name on his phone, and answered with a furrowed brow.

"Amakusa, you should know exactly what you're doing, right?"

As soon as the call connected, Majima took the initiative.

U Amakusa understood what Majima was implying. Knowing the school's hidden rules and choosing to skip class anyway was a deliberate violation.

However, U Amakusa had no intention of responding to that.

"That's right, Majima. I'm buying the beer for you. For your party, would 10 bottles be enough? I'm just confirming with the manager now."

After saying this on his own accord, U Amakusa put the phone on speaker.

What? What are you talking about?

Majima, on the other end of the line, was completely bewildered. He understood every word, but why did they make no sense when put together?

"Ah, yes, yes. 10 isn't enough, make it..." Majima gritted his teeth, thought for a moment, and said, "Make it 50 bottles."

Recalling their conversation in the office, Majima realized U Amakusa was buying the beer as a gesture of gratitude.

Since that was the case, Majima decided he might as well discipline the kid by giving a higher number, forcing him to spend more Private Points.

He was quite unhappy that the boy would skip class despite knowing the school's hidden rules.

He had talent, yet he seemed unwilling to serve the class.

"OK, I understand."

U Amakusa tapped the red phone icon, and the call ended.

The manager asked skeptically, "We could actually deliver the chilled ones, you know?"

U Amakusa tapped his index finger on the table and smiled. "I said no need. I prefer to pick them up myself. Just five chilled bottles will do."

His tone carried an air of indisputable authority, and his smile was somewhat chilling.

Following the direction of his finger on the table, the manager saw the 40,000,000 Private Points clearly displayed on the phone screen.

The manager forced himself to stay calm; the person in front of him was only a first-year.

Even if Majima had given him points to buy beer, there was no way he could have that many. The manager was certain he hadn't misread the number.

This was clearly a display of his extraordinary capabilities.

The manager knew the situation at this school, so he understood that this was the type of person he shouldn't provoke.

Especially since U Amakusa was the first first-year student he had ever seen with such a massive amount of points.

Though he didn't know why U Amakusa insisted on picking them up himself, if that was what he wanted, so be it.

What was that saying?

This is called knowing when to bow to the inevitable, being prudent—get it?

[Name: U Amakusa

Gender: Male

Class: Class A, First Year

Private Account: 40,000,000.

Actual Private Points: 42,890,000...]

"Ahem, do as you please, student." The store manager stood up to pour a cup of tea for U Amakusa himself. "Just let the front desk or me know when the time comes."

The store manager understood that U Amakusa would undoubtedly become a big shot in the future; this might be the only moment he could ever get close to a person of such caliber.

Store Manager: I really want to get ahead in life.

"Fine." U Amakusa took a light sip of tea. "When the time comes, I'll bring my friends along to pick it up."

U Amakusa deliberately avoided mentioning a time. Seeing the store manager's level of enthusiasm, he feared that if he said this afternoon, the manager would be waiting there to ambush him.

Ring-ring—

Even as the final bell of the school day rang, U Amakusa's seat remained empty.

No one knew where U Amakusa had gone.

The students in the class were somewhat puzzled, but they didn't really care; they had seen people like this back in middle school.

Just a delinquent.

Even so, Katsuragi Jin, the big brother of the Katsuragi Faction, displayed the demeanor of a class representative.

Katsuragi first went to ask U Amakusa's few fair-weather friends, Satoshi Satonaka, Naoki Shimizu, and the others.

But Naoki Shimizu and the rest all claimed they didn't know, and their messages to U Amakusa had gone unanswered.

Katsuragi also went to ask Kamuro, and Kamuro haughtily replied that she had no idea where that guy had gone.

This was bad for the class's image, and Katsuragi felt he should have a serious talk with U Amakusa.

Meanwhile, crouching behind a tree near the convenience store, U Amakusa watched his target sneakily enter the shop.

"Couldn't hold back after all, huh, Kamuro."

Seeing Kamuro go inside, U Amakusa calmly took out his phone, started recording, and prepared to follow her into the convenience store.

Before that, however, another VIP had also entered the store.

She had even entered before Kamuro.

But that didn't affect U Amakusa's plan; she was just a white-haired loli.

"Hello~ Miss, I'm here to pick up the beer; my friend has already gone to get it."

After entering the convenience store, U Amakusa greeted the young lady at the register directly.

She nodded politely to acknowledge him and continued to ring up customers.

Following that, U Amakusa purposefully walked to the back, where he spotted Kamuro acting suspiciously in front of the refrigerator.

The recording captured Kamuro's every move perfectly.

From looking left and right to stealthily pulling the beer from the fridge and stuffing it into her school bag.

The entire process was incredibly swift, and she patted her little heart, looking as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

Not far away, Sakayanagi, who had captured the same evidence as U Amakusa, wore a wicked smile.
