Chapter 446 Sky-high Price
Asahina returned looking quite disheveled, but not many people paid attention to her, as everyone's attention was drawn to the exam and they were all preparing for the final free competition exam.

Compared to the free competition, the previous exams were just appetizers. Since the competition, which is called the free competition, is all prepared by the students themselves, even students who did not have the opportunity to participate joined in the preparations tonight.

Even students who are not particularly strong in their own right can still win if they prepare for a project that is in their area of ​​expertise.

Ryuen simply gathered the group members together for discussion, without interfering with the projects that Kito and the others were preparing, while he went out to gather intelligence.

Back at the hotel, Asahina changed her clothes and rushed towards the second-year students' area. The Ryuen group, who were still discussing, were disturbed by a noisy knocking on the door.

"Who!"

Kikyo was somewhat annoyed; such a way of knocking was extremely impolite.

"I gonna go see."

Ayanokoji, who was sitting on the outer edge, went to open the door and saw Asahina looking furious.

Asahina pushed Ayanokouji aside (Ayanokouji deliberately stepped aside) and walked into the room, looking around: "Where are the Ryuen people?"

"Hey, who are you? Don't you know how rude you are right now!"

Kikyo is a social butterfly, but that doesn't mean she won't get angry at others.

After being scolded by Kikyo, Asahina regained some composure and looked embarrassed: "Excuse me, I have urgent business with Ryuen."

Kikyo glared at Asahina with displeasure, thinking that Ryuen must be flirting with other women again.

"He's not in now."

"Then where did he go?"

"I do not know."

Asahina was somewhat helpless. She had just checked the room and there was indeed no sign of Ryuen. After apologizing, Asahina slunk out of the room.

In Asahina's mind, this was ultimately a matter between her and Ryuen, and she didn't want to involve anyone else or let anyone else know about it.

Meanwhile, Ryuen found Horikita.

Are you participating in tomorrow's freestyle race?

"You think I'll tell you?"

Horikita remained indifferent. They were now in different groups, so how could they possibly share this information with others?

"So you think I have no way to find out if you don't tell me? I just need to use the simplest process of elimination to rule out the exams you've taken before."

"Then why did you bother asking me?"

"I want to hear it from your own mouth."

Horikita glared at Ryuen. Ryuen meant that while it wouldn't be difficult to investigate what competitions Horikita had participated in before, it would be a waste of time. So he wanted to ask Horikita directly to save some effort.

But in Horikita's ears, it sounded like Ryuen was teasing her. Although she didn't find it particularly annoying, she was still quite irritated.

"What? Are you here to declare war? Bring it on! No matter what the competition is, I won't lose!"

Horikita puffed out his chest confidently. Ryuen had also confirmed that Horikita would participate in the competition. If Ryuen really wanted to challenge Horikita, then it would be Horikita who prepared the competition events. There was no question of him bringing it on.

"Then I wish you a successful start." Ryuen waved and left, but Horikita was furious, feeling that Ryuen was looking down on her. She could only glare at Ryuen's back and mutter to herself, "What is this!"

Ryuen then called Sakagami and arranged to meet him in his room.

"So the teacher lives in a single room."

Ryuen sighed, after all, he still had to squeeze onto the tatami mat with Ayanokouji and the others, while Sakagami-sensei could have a room all to himself.

"What do you want to know about me so late, Long Yuan?"

Sakaue didn't think that Ryuen had come to play with him. Moreover, with exams approaching, Ryuen must have some plans and schemes. As his homeroom teacher, he wanted to help Ryuen as much as possible, since it was Ryuen who had put him in the position of grade head.

"Sakagami-sensei, I'd like to know the scores for each group."

Ryuen didn't beat around the bush with Sakagami and directly stated her needs.

Sakagami Digital was somewhat surprised and embarrassed. As the head of the grade, he did have a way to know the current points situation, but telling Ryuen this would indeed be a violation of school rules.

"Sorry, I can't tell you."

Sakagami-sensei had no choice but to refuse Ryuen's request.

"Let Sakagami-sensei give me a quote. It would be against school rules for a teacher to tell me this kind of information for free. But the school rules also state that everything in the school can be purchased with points. If I spend points, it won't be against the school rules."

Sakagami-sensei was still somewhat troubled. It was indeed feasible to buy information from teachers by spending points, but the reason why not many students did so was that the points paid would far exceed the benefits. In other words, the price would be ridiculously high. For example, in this exam, winning first place would only earn two million personal points, while the school was charging five million for the information on the rankings. For students, it would be a loss no matter what.

"Five million, that's the school's offer, but if you just want to know the points for a specific group, the offer can be lower."

Long Yuan was also a bit surprised, not expecting it to be so expensive. The key point was that Long Yuan felt it wasn't worth it. Before the free competition, the rankings for each test would be announced. With just a little statistics, the rankings for each group could be obtained. Long Yuan wanted to save himself the trouble.

At the same time, Ryuen was also setting a trap for Sakagami-sensei. The ranking he mentioned was the real-time ranking of each group. If Sakagami-sensei really accepted Ryuen's points, Ryuen could then use this to threaten Sakagami-sensei and obtain first-hand ranking information in the free tournament. However, he did not expect the price to be so expensive, which completely exceeded Ryuen's budget.

"If it's just the scores for a single group, what would the price be?"

"Two hundred thousand."

Two hundred thousand is still expensive, but it's within Longyuan's budget.

"Then tell me the first and last place."

Ryuen was about to pay the points with her phone, but was stopped by Sakagami-sensei: "I can't tell you that. I can only tell you the points of the group you specified, but not the group to which the ranking you specified belongs."

Long Yuan wanted to curse. He could easily find out the points of a certain group by just asking around among the members of that group. There was no need to spend 200,000 to buy it. The school was too corrupt. Long Yuan slammed the door and left without spending a single penny.

Ryuen didn't gain much from this trip, but he wasn't in the mood to do anything more, so he chose to go straight back. And the timing was exactly a short while after Asahina left.

Long Yuan stood at the door and found it locked, which was strange. Helpless, he could only knock on the door.

"Who is it again!"

Ayanokoji came out to open the door, but it was Kikyo who made the complaining.

"it's me."

Kikyo covered her mouth, feeling very embarrassed.
