Ryuen: The Least Trustworthy Thing Is a Man's Word!

Nagumo thought to himself, but said aloud, "At most 15 million. That's all the points I have right now. And that's all the points I've accumulated throughout my second year."

"Without 20 million, you can't sway me," Sakayanagi said. "But I'm not an unreasonable person."

"Since you can directly allocate 15 million, Nagumo, have you considered making money work for you?" Sakayanagi asked.

"Um?"

"Points are earned at the school based on class evaluation scores, and additional rewards are obtained from exams. However, everyone at this school uses points as currency."

"So have you considered getting points not just from the school?"

"Or are they getting it from the staff or faculty of the Shopping Street?" Sakayanagi said.

"Working is not allowed at the school," Nagumo said immediately.

After all, he was a high school student who liked working part-time, so of course he had thought about this.

If the school allowed part-time work, and he could control the second-year students, he could directly make all the second-year students work and occupy various part-time positions, and then he could also take a cut of the second-year students' wages.

Isn't that great?

But that won't work.

"Working will certainly be prevented," Sakayanagi Arisu said. "But I think it's still possible to work around it. For example, using points to buy out this prohibited activity."

Oh.

Oh, I see.

I don't believe you for a second.

So, what are you trying to achieve by voluntarily asking him to make money?

Nagumo didn't believe that Sakayanagi Arisu would be so kind.

However, the point system is also a fact.

Although it's prohibited, it doesn't say you can't buy out the prohibited item.

Therefore, it might be feasible to buy the right to work and then let the second-year students work.

But.

He was not at ease.

Because.

The school grounds are only so big, and there are already a lot of shop assistants, so there aren't many part-time jobs. Besides, even if there were jobs, I'm afraid that if second-year students went to work and earned some money, and then had some savings, Sakayanagi Arisu would incite the second-year students to rebel against him.

So this is a conspiracy.

Nagumo felt he had seen through the true nature of this seemingly cute but terrifying junior.

Only.

It's not a good thing for second-year students to have money from part-time jobs, but if they form a community of shared interests, such as opening a shop together, they can earn points while also not having to worry about them rebelling because they have money.

So maybe we can give it a try.

And at this time.

"What are you discussing?" Manabu Horikita walked in from the doorway, followed by Akane Tachibana, the secretary with purple hair.

"Sakayanagi, the results of the first-year Uninhabited Island Exam are out."

"Your class's performance..." Manabu Horikita saw Sakayanagi Arisu, but seemed to pause for a moment.

He seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

"You probably did terribly on the test," Sakayanagi Arisu said nonchalantly. "That was expected, so I wouldn't be surprised by any result."

"You have absolutely no confidence in your class," Manabu Horikita said. But then he shook his head.

"Class A's results this time were indeed not very good."

"But."

"The results of Class C this time..." Manabu Horikita said, pausing for a moment.

"That's incredible, right?" But Sakayanagi Arisu. "In fact, he got the highest score ever on the Uninhabited Island Exam, right?"

"How did you know?" Senior Akane Tachibana also looked over.

Because she went to the Chairman's Office with Manabu Horikita, Akane Tachibana already knew the exam results.

The result was so extreme that even Manabu Horikita had to double-check before confirming that there was no problem with the exam.

"Because I didn't take the exam," Sakayanagi Arisu said calmly.

Chapter 142 Ryuen: The most unreliable thing is a man's mouth!

Advanced Nurturing High School, Student Council Office.

"..."

Almost as soon as Sakayanagi calmly stated her prediction for the first-year students' exam results, everyone was stunned.

Because.

What does it mean that because you didn't take the exam, your current exam results are as you expected?

In other words...

"Sakayanagi, you don't actually think your class will fall apart just because you're not here, do you?" Nagumo said. "And do you really think Hachiman Hikigaya from Class C is that good? Can his lousy class really climb up the ranks?"

Nagumo himself is one of the few students in this school who successfully turned their class around.

He was also a student in Class B last year, but he made a successful comeback at the end of his first year and then stabilized his position in the class.

However, those who are close to their own family know best. His successful comeback was also largely due to the overall quality of the class.

Although the school talks about class competition, the quality of students in the four classes was different from the beginning.

The lower the ranking, the more students drag the class down.

Hachiman Hikigaya's Class C was originally Class D.

So.

Those who want to climb up and hold others back can be dragged down and killed.

"So, does Nagumo think that Hachiman Class C is an ordinary student?" Classmate Sakayanagi asked politely.

But just one question made Nagumo start to think.

He had met Hachiman Hikigaya several times before, and even misjudged him, thinking he was just a troublesome junior, but he was quickly proven wrong.

I've already learned this from Manabu Horikita.

Then Sakayanagi- senpai continued...

"On the first day of enrollment, my class bought the essence of the school from the teachers by pooling together 2 million Private Points from all the students."

"Then, in theory, you should be able to pass the first month's Behavioral Guidelines Exam smoothly."

"And leave the other classes behind."

"However, because of Hachiman's breaking of the surveillance, the true nature of this school was eventually exposed."

"Then my Class A lost its initial advantage in the Behavioral Guidelines Exam."

"In other words, the news that we bought it for 2 million has gone down the drain," said Sakayanagi Arisu.

Forehead.

From this perspective, it's really impressive.

Nagumo touched his chin and made his own assessment.

But Sakayanagi, you're toxic too.

According to your description, Hachiman Hikigaya disrupted the plans of your Class A.

But you didn't seem angry at all.

Nagumo also thought of the information he had received, including a second-year student's eyewitness account of Sakayanagi Arisu frequently dining with a deadpan-eyed boy in a private room on the third floor.

In other words, Sakayanagi, you're playing with fire.

Therefore...

I can't figure it out.

"You Hachiman Hikigaya," Nagumo said. "But you are, after all, rival classes, so it would be terrible if you overstepped that line."

"It's hostile, that's how it is right now," Sakayanagi said. "But the school has also provided a solution, hasn't it?"

"With just 20 million points, you can choose to skip a grade or avoid expulsion."

"If Hachiman can prove himself to be capable of leading this trash class to Class A, then it wouldn't hurt for my class to gather 20 million points and buy him out."

"But once the enemy joins my class, wouldn't there be no more hostility?" Sakayanagi said with a slight smile.

Oh.

Oh, I see.

No wonder you want 20 million points.

So, it turns out I was wrong after all.

Nagumo's initial impression of Sakayanagi Arisu was that she was a weak and timid loli girl, but then he realized that her weakness was just an appearance and that she actually had a strong attack power.

And now.

He's already become a troublemaker.

Nagumo knew that his ideas were not accepted by Manabu Horikita, so he wanted to become the Student Council President, Manabu Horikita did not quite agree.

However, you, Sakayanagi Arisu, have now revealed yourself to be a troublesome presence as well.

Didn't you see that Horikita is sighing softly now?

Because potential successors are all dangerous individuals.

"Therefore."

Nagumo then looked at Manabu Horikita, "How did you do on the first-year Uninhabited Island Exam this time?"

"Then you can go update it later." Manabu Horikita handed a piece of paper to Miyabi Nagumo, instructing her to go to the first-grade blackboard and update the exam results for the four classes.

Nagumo also saw the results mentioned above.

Class A, First Year, +70 points.

First Year Class B +170 points

First Year Class C +491 points

First-year Class D, +0 points.

"..."

"How is this possible?" Nagumo blurted out.

So, why and how did I get this score?

This is something that Katsuragi and Ryuen on the beach also want to know.

"First place, First Year Class C, 491 points!" Holding a megaphone, Majima-sensei announced the final results.

The air seemed to freeze for a few seconds.

Then.

This caused a huge uproar.

The students in Class C, in particular, were so excited they wanted to jump up on the spot.

They were all incredibly excited.

"We are number one!"

"491 points! 491 points! If we give 100 points to Kōenji, our living expenses will increase by 39,000 next month!"
