People at the practical education center only want to drop out.

This clearly violates their agreement!

Therefore, Sakayanagi's father, the chairman of the board, felt that he should have a serious talk with Sakayanagi, hence this "invitation".

After listening to Kamuro's words, Sakayanagi remained calm, clearly having been prepared all along.

"It's been a while since my last physical exam. Perfect timing, it's Friday today, let's go get another check-up while we're at it."

"Regular health checkups!"—This was one of the conditions that Chairman Sakayanagi had agreed to for Sakayanagi.

..........

Office of the Chairman.

A man with features somewhat resembling Sakayanagi, whose face conveyed a kind yet dignified air, was working at a desk.

This man is none other than Sakayanagi Narumi, the father of the chairman of the board!

dong dong dong~

"Come in."

A petite, loli-like white-haired girl pushed open the door and walked in, then turned to the doorway and said:

"That's enough to leave here. I'll call you when it's time to go."

"All you do is order people around," the person outside said with dissatisfaction, but still walked away with a clattering sound.

Chairman Sakayanagi felt he heard a familiar voice and immediately raised his head from the table, whereupon he saw the white-haired girl closing the door.

Upon seeing who it was, Chairman Sakayanagi couldn't help but reveal a smile filled with joy and affection.

But soon, he remembered why he had called the other party over.

As the white-haired girl closed the door and turned to look at him, Chairman Sakayanagi quickly composed himself and said in a solemn voice, "You've come, Arisu."

"Greetings, my father, the chairman," Sakayanagi greeted calmly.

149. Bai Lan, who disrupts the balance, needs to be banned!

"Arisu, do you still remember our promise?"

As expected, after Sakayanagi Arisu met with his father, she was immediately questioned by Sakayanagi Narimori.

"I can't participate in sports activities, yes, I certainly haven't forgotten," Sakayanagi Arisu replied with a smile.

"Then what is this...?" Sakayanagi Shigemori took a piece of paper out of the drawer and shook it as he spoke.

Without much thought, Sakayanagi Arisu knew what the document in her father's hand was.

If nothing unexpected happens, it's the training plan that she had someone set up.

Sakayanagi Arisu: "So, I haven't done it yet, have I?"

And I didn't mean to hide anything from you; I was just asking for your permission. Without your permission, I naturally couldn't do these things.

After all, you are Sakayanagi Narimori, my father, and my guardian. If I break the agreement, you have the right to expel me from school at any time.

"Oh dear~ Don't make me sound like some feudal patriarch who forces his children's will on me. I don't want to ruin our father-daughter relationship. I just want our family to be happy together."

Sakayanagi Shigemori finally couldn't maintain his tough stance in front of his beloved daughter. He dropped his serious expression, smiled, and shook his head, saying, "Arisu, you know I did this to avoid any danger. Didn't we agree on that before?"

Arisu Sakayanagi: "I just wanted to try to see if I could overcome my innate weaknesses through my own efforts and learning ability."

"Why did you suddenly want to try something like this? It can't just be a whim, can it? You don't seem like the impulsive type."

"I guess I was influenced by others and that's why I wanted to make a change."

"The doctor said that as long as you wait a few more years until your body is fully developed, you can have the surgery. After the surgery, your heart will be much stronger, and the risks of whatever you do will be greatly reduced. If you want to exercise, it's not too late to wait until then."

Why rush things?

"I've only recently come to realize that when a person places all their hopes for the future on something that has almost nothing to do with their own personal efforts, it's equivalent to giving up all their possibilities as a human being."

The path of surgery is one where the effect of surgery on heart function depends entirely on others.

I don't want to completely entrust my future to 'someone else's hands'.

If I pin all my hopes on surgery to improve my physical abilities, what if the surgery is ineffective or even fails? Wouldn't I be plunged into despair?

Therefore, I want to take control of my own future in my own way, and I'm going to start right now!

I believe that there shouldn't be only one way for me to become better. I want to find and develop more paths that can help me become better.

Of course, I will not give up on the surgery.

However, even if the surgery doesn't achieve the desired results, my body will still improve through my efforts!

All the positive changes were brought about by me, which is proof of my excellence as a human being!

Moreover, I need a body that is almost fully functional so that I can do what I want to do.

So please rest assured, in order to achieve the ultimate goal, I will not push my body to the limit and risk damaging it. I will only make it better and better, so don't worry about me overexerting myself.

"I'm curious, who influenced you?"

"Oh? You really didn't know? I thought checking surveillance footage or something to see my interactions with other people wouldn't be a difficult thing for you."

“Even though I am Sakayanagi Narimori, I would never abuse my power for personal gain and do such a thing.”

Moreover, as an educator, I am well aware of the need to respect children's privacy and personal space, and I would never do something like secretly reading my children's diaries.

Therefore, unless required for work, I don't need to or will not casually access surveillance footage.

"Not casually? So you mean you'll occasionally take a 'not casual' look?"

"If you doubt your father like this, he will be very sad."

"Okay, it's my fault." Sakayanagi Arisu apologized very naturally, as if she had just made a casual joke.

In this way, the conversation between the father and daughter gradually became more relaxed.

The issue of "banning exercise" was not mentioned again.

Sakayanagi Shigemori neither said it was forbidden nor permitted.

They were just chatting about trivial, everyday things.

Basically, Sakayanagi Narimori asked Sakayanagi Arisu about her school life.

"Speaking of which," Sakayanagi Shigemori said, "after these two months of getting to know each other since entering school, how much do you know about Shirai, who is currently in Class 1-B, and is in the same grade as you?"

Upon hearing that name spoken by her father, Sakayanagi Arisu's brow twitched, and she said, "Why...why are you suddenly asking this?"

As she said this, Sakayanagi Arisu secretly observed her father's reaction, wondering if he had actually been monitoring her interactions with others and had secretly read her "diary".

"This student named Bai Lan is a very restless child. What he did a while ago has been worrying me for several days," said Sakayanagi Narimori, looking quite troubled.

Through observation, Sakayanagi Arisu felt relieved that her father did not seem to know that Shirai was the "person who influenced her" or that he had not secretly read her "diary." Then her attention was diverted to the content of her father's words.

What did Bai Lan do "some time ago" that "made Sakayanagi Shigemori worry", and that worried him for "several days"?

It sounds like quite a commotion.

This surprised Sakayanagi Arisu.

Even though Sakayanagi Arisu hadn't noticed any "big moves" since the results of the disciplinary committee came out on May 1st, she hadn't noticed anything at all.

"Is my intelligence network too slow to react?" Sakayanagi Arisu couldn't help but wonder.

"As for Bai Lan, in my opinion, he will be a good opponent. After all, it is surprising that he was able to lead those defective students who were initially assigned to Class D to Class B in one go."

Sakayanagi Arisu first answered the question her father had asked earlier, and then asked another question: "What has he been doing recently?"

Upon hearing his daughter's question, Sakayanagi Shigemori opened his mouth, but quickly, as if he had suddenly remembered something, he shook his head and said, "Oh, I'm sorry, this is something I can't just tell my students."

"Since we can't just say it casually, how many points do we need?" Sakayanagi Arisu wasn't about to let him off the hook.

Moreover, Sakayanagi Arisu could also tell that her father might be doing it on purpose.

Sakayanagi Shigemori was deliberately reminding Sakayanagi Arisu that he had information that Sakayanagi Arisu was interested in.

After all, if Sakayanagi Narimori hadn't brought it up, Sakayanagi Arisu wouldn't have known about it at all.

Having no idea about this matter, Sakayanagi Arisu had no opportunity to spend points to purchase related information.

While Sakayanagi Narimori wouldn't break the rules for his daughter, he could easily use certain techniques to circumvent them and give her some pointers.

"Are you so concerned about his affairs?" Sakayanagi Narumi asked.

Sakayanagi Arisu: "After all, he is a rival I acknowledge."

"Oh right, I remember you investigated Bai Lan's past through my channels before. Could it be that he is the one who influenced you, made you make changes, and wanted to start training your physical abilities?" Sakayanagi Narumi said with a suspicious look.

"Please don't give irrelevant answers. We are discussing information about point purchases with you as a student representative, and you should follow the proper procedures. What kind of behavior is it to ask customers for information?" Sakayanagi Arisu said with dissatisfaction.

"Since you want to know, please pay 10 points. Moreover, you cannot share it with others; only one person can know it. If you leak it to others, you will be severely punished."

"20? And it can't be shared with others?" Upon hearing this, Sakayanagi Arisu frowned.

It's not that she can't afford the points.

What she cares about is the numerical value of this point and the huge limitations, and what it represents.

"Bai Lan actually caused such a big problem?"

Sakayanagi Arisu was very curious and, without saying a word, eagerly operated her phone to pay the points.

Seeing his daughter's reaction, Sakayanagi Arisu Narimori became even more certain of a certain suspicion that had arisen in his heart.

But when he thought about what that conjecture meant, Sakayanagi Arisu Narimori couldn't help but feel happy for his daughter, but at the same time, he felt a little empty, as if he was about to lose something.

"The points have already been paid, hurry up and tell me."

At this moment, Sakayanagi Arisu, who had already completed the payment, urged.

Sakayanagi Arisu's urging brought Sakayanagi Arisu Narumori's attention back.

"Since that's the case, I'll tell you. Here's what happened..."

A few minutes later, Sakayanagi Arisu Narimori told Sakayanagi Arisu about the "outrageous" things Shirai had done recently.

The more she listened, the more surprised she became.

"What?! Bai Lan actually dared to report the leak of the first-year exam questions!"

He even used this to blackmail a second-year student into paying him a huge sum of 50 million points!

He even has 20 million now!
