Ichinose, you will regret it.

Horikita Suzune stepped forward and confronted Uesugi Gen.

"Is this so?"

Uesugi Gen stroked his chin and pondered,

"Dhaka, verbal wah lu."

Uesugi Gen spread his hands and said,

"It seems our class doesn't have what we need right now, so I'm sorry, Hirata-kun and you, Horikita-kun."

"No... We can't do this. Anything is possible... We will agree to anything... We can do anything!!"

Hirata Yosuke suddenly became anxious and shouted on the verge of collapse.

"No, please go back, Hirata-kun. It would be good for your class to expel these three, wouldn't it?"

Uesugi Gen refused with a cruel smile.

"Well, I think it's better to think about it again. It seems your class monitor is back."

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, who had been staying in the corner and never spoke, suddenly spoke.

I see,

Uesugi Gen understood. From the very beginning, the target was not me but Ichinose. No wonder Hirata was sent to negotiate instead of Horikita. It turned out that he was just stalling for time.

"Wait a minute, Uesugi-kun..."

Ichinose ran back panting, holding her knees with her hands.

"I'm sorry, Gen-chan. I was chatting nicely with Ichinose, but as soon as she heard your name, she ran back without looking back."

Following closely behind were Mr. Hoshinomiya and members of the Uesugi group, and Hoshinomiya said apologetically.

In response to this, Uesugi Gen said he was not worried.

"So, Ichinose, are you going to oppose me this time like you did last time?"

Uesugi Gen smiled and asked Ichinose,

Since you were able to guess what I was thinking last time, there's no way you can't guess what I'm going to do this time...

"No, I choose to support you."

Chapter 36 Choose one of the two

With this remark,

Not only the students in Class D, but also the students in Class B were shocked.

"That Ichinose, to think she would make such a decision..."

Yes, when Ichinose heard that the people from Class D were in his classroom, he had already roughly guessed the purpose of Uesugi Gen's actions.

The main reason why she ran back in such a hurry was that she was worried that Uesugi Gen would suddenly come up with something like letting Class D choose to save only two out of three.

After all, her deputy monitor is very good at giving people multiple-choice questions.

Then Ichinose faced everyone in Class D, clasped his hands together, and said apologetically,

"I'm sorry about that, but he's the one who usually makes the decisions when things like this happen in our class."

Faced with this situation, Horikita Suzune felt powerless.

Even with different philosophies, they were able to quickly reach a consensus... They were actually united to this extent.

In this way, the initiative returned to Uesugi Gen's hands.

Uesugi Gen suddenly jumped down from the podium and said to the students in Class D in a mocking tone,

"Do you think that if you call Ichinose back, she will agree to your conditions? I think you are dreaming too much."

"Everyone in Gaoyu knows that this woman is a pushover. Do you think I would ignore such an obvious weakness?"

"She's in charge of class affairs, and I'll handle matters outside of class. She absolutely won't lend you points without my consent."

Ichinose tilted her head in confusion.

Uesugi-kun... have you ever told me such a thing?

In response, Uesugi Gen shamelessly stated,

Anyway, for my sake, you can't stand up and oppose me at this time, so I might as well take this opportunity to make this matter real in front of the whole class.

By that time, it will be a done deal and there will be no point in your objection.

But at this time, Ichinose didn't care about this matter, but was obsessed with a certain word that Uesugi Gen just said.

"hey-hey!"

Ichinose scratched his head embarrassedly.

"I'm not praising you, please. I'm asking you to reflect on yourself and stop wasting your kindness."

"If you really want to help others, then come and help me. The president has been urging me to approve school documents recently. Since you have so much free time, why don't you do it for me?"

Listening to Uesugi Gen's words, Horikita Suzune looked at him with pure jealousy.

This man... actually stole my elder brother's attention from me.

"So that's the thing. No matter what tricks you use, you will never be able to borrow points from Class B without my permission. Please go back, everyone in Class D."

"And you, goodbye, Red Hair. I hope you can behave better in the ordinary school outside and stop causing trouble for others."

"Shibata, Kanzaki sees you off!"

Uesugi Gen issued an ultimatum.

"Wait a moment!"

Horikita Suzune gritted her teeth and decided to use her final killing move, and reluctantly spit out,

"Your class B really want to be promoted to class A, right? After all, you are only one step away from class A. We can help your class during the next special exam. It never hurts to have another class to help you."

"Absolutely not."

Uesugi Gen unexpectedly rejected Horikita Suzune's conditions cleanly and decisively.

"Whether it's you, Class A or Class C, or you all come together, our class will definitely not lose. No, it's more like I want you all to come together."

Uesugi Gen's words were filled with strong confidence.

Ichinose looked at the high-spirited Uesugi Gen and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It would be great if he really thought so. If that really happened, with his lazy and trouble-averse personality, he would probably use some means to provoke a conflict between the three classes, and then sit back and reap the benefits.

Negotiation is all about asking for a high price and getting a low price. Since they came to negotiate, I have to test their specific strength, even though I really don’t want anything.

At this moment, Horikita Suzune glanced at her phone and came to her senses unexpectedly.

"Tell me your conditions. You should have some requirements for our class."

"Oh, I see."

Uesugi Gen asked curiously, glancing at the invisible person in the crowd.

It's you again, the mastermind behind Class D.

"Because you just sent Ichinose away in advance, right? If you don't have any intentions towards us, then according to your own statement, sending Ichinose away was completely unnecessary."

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

Uesugi Gen clapped his hands in cooperation.

"Not bad, as expected of Horikita Manabu's younger sister, you've inherited some of his judgment skills."

"That's natural, and I won't lose to you, Uesugi Gen."

Horikita Suzune looked at Uesugi Gen with an unwilling look.

"Just now I asked Hirata Yosuke why he saved them. Same question, Horikita, you must hate them so much, why did you save him?"

Horikita Suzune crossed her arms and said frankly,

"Yes, I hate it very much. I rescue them because I'm not sure whether they will be useful in future class competitions. In this school where even the content of the exams is unknown, losing one person in a class may cause the class to fall behind other classes in competition."

"Is that so..."

Three years ago, I touched my chin.

"You must really want to be promoted to Class A. You, who are so unsociable, actually want to save your classmates for such a purpose."

"Yes, I will definitely be promoted to Class A, and I will definitely defeat you."

A blazing fire ignited in Horikita Suzune's eyes.

"That's it..."

Uesugi Gen slowly revealed a harmless smile.

Everyone in Class B felt a pang of fear when they saw Uesugi Gen's smile.

Ichinose covered his smooth forehead with his hands in pain.

He's here again!

"Okay, Horikita Suzune, I'm now formally proposing my conditions, and you must answer. Your answer determines the life and death of three people in your class."

"Come on." Horikita Suzune said confidently.

"I want you to agree to a condition during the next special exam. However, I won't propose this condition now. I will propose it during the special exam. The condition might be that I want you to buy me a bottle of water, or that you, Class D, should be withdrawn from the special exam."

As soon as Uesugi Gen said this, the raging fire in Horikita Suzune was extinguished instantly.

"Well, it's your choice. Do you want to keep the three of you in Class D and look forward to the future where they can help the class get good grades, or do you want to fail the next special exam and fall behind in your pursuit of Class A?"

"You choose."

Choose one of the two?

Horikita Suzune lowered her head, her expression becoming uncertain.

Looking at her classmates in Class D who were looking at her with hope, the image of her brother involuntarily emerged in her mind.

elder brother……

At this moment, she suddenly remembered what her brother said when he came to see her.

"Lingyin, Uesugi is different from you. He's a truly aloof person, but he can put aside his arrogance for the sake of his friends. You should learn from him."

……

Horikita Suzune suddenly opened her eyes.

"I choose to agree to your terms and save the students in Class D."

"Deal, Ms. Horikita."

……

After transferring the points to Horikita Suzune, Uesugi Gen seemed to remember something and said casually,

"Oh, by the way, let me tell you something. Your brother's Class A, Grade 3, has never had a student expelled. So, he should be happy with your choice this time."

"You guy..."

Horikita Suzune stared at Uesugi Gen in a daze.

"Well, it's a pleasure working with you. Welcome to come and play in Class B next time."

Chapter 37 Uesugi Gen gets serious

First-grade teacher's office,

Uesugi Gen was sitting in Teacher Hoshinomiya's seat, carefully examining Ichinose's admission documents.

The school has conducted detailed background checks on students who are about to enter Gaoyu, and logically, they should have recorded Ichinose's situation.

"Are there any unsettling factors such as long absences..."

Uesugi Gen stared at the word "wait" on the school's evaluation for a long time, scratching his hair in distress.

"I didn't even notice such an obvious clue before... I was really careless."
