Demon Slayer: I was taken home by Shinobu Kocho at the beginning.

After careful consideration, Kushida decided to protect the students in her class. Although she might be seen as imitating Ichinose, she did it without hesitation.

Because no matter how outstanding Ichinose is, she is only Ichinose of Class B, while Class D only has Kikyo Kushida.

On the other hand, after obtaining the contract, Kamio Tatsuya immediately handed it over to Ryuen.

"what is this?"

"Hmm...is this a belated birthday present?"

Longyuan's birthday is October 20th, which is just a few days before the midterm exams.

Upon hearing Tatsuya Kamio's words, Ryuen remained silent for a moment, then chuckled and opened the contract that Tatsuya Kamio had given him.

"I see. So you're doing this as a precaution because you're worried Class C might lose to Class 2?"

"No, this is a gift that someone rushed up to give me. If I don't accept it, wouldn't that be very impolite?" Kamio Tatsuya smiled.

"But what's this 'handle on Kushida'?"

Longyuan tapped his fingers on the table.

"Don't worry about it. Since I signed the contract, I won't reveal anything about the other party. If you want to know, you can just investigate it yourself."

Tatsuya Kamio shrugged, indicating that he was powerless to help.

"But the fact that you agreed so easily means that the informant you planted in Class D isn't Kushida."

Longyuan really knows me well.

Tatsuya Kamio nodded.

If Kushida was truly his only intelligence source, then even if Horikita threatened to frame Sakura, Kamio Tatsuya would absolutely not compromise.

Moreover, framing Sakura was a self-destructive tactic that would harm the enemy as much as one's own life, so Tatsuya Kamio wasn't worried.

"However, this method of forcing you to submit by framing a woman doesn't seem like something Suzune would come up with. That guy is quite honest."

When Long Yuan mentioned this, a look of great interest appeared on his face.

"I didn't expect there would be someone in Class D who thinks like you and me."

Upon hearing this, Tatsuya Kamio smiled.

"In that case, why don't you try to find that guy?"

"Oh? Judging from your expression, you know who the other person is?"

"I have an idea."

"Hehe, I accept your proposal."

A smile appeared on Long Yuan's face.

This exam wasn't very interesting; Class C was practically guaranteed to win, so he wanted to find some fun.

Chapter 210 Kushida: Horikita, your expression is amazing.

After school, to avoid being disturbed by outsiders, Horikita invited Kushida to a cafe in the shopping center.

Although Kushida didn't want to see Horikita right now, Horikita's attitude of "I'll follow you if you don't agree" was really disgusting.

"I'm so happy that Horikita-kun asked me out." Kushida said with a genuinely happy expression. "Is there something you want to discuss with me?"

Horikita felt a headache coming on looking at Kushida's affected manner. She wanted to talk to the real Kushida Kikyo without a mask, not the masked one she was in now.

Since that's the case, let's just roughly remove the mask from her face.

"Kushida-kun, you should know that you can buy anything with points at this school."

"Of course, Mr. Chabashira mentioned this at the beginning of the semester."

"So you don't need to treat me like this at all, because the reason you were assigned to Class D is also considered one of the commodities."

As expected, Kushida's expression changed instantly after Horikita said those words.

I thought you were a good person before, but I was wrong! You're a jerk!

She even considered throwing the chair down and leaving.

After noticing Kushida's change, Horikita secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then immediately spoke again before Kushida got up to leave.

"I don't want to bring this up either, but what I want to see is not the masked Kushida-kun, but you as you are now."

"Your 'know-it-all' attitude is disgusting!"

“But if I don’t do this, I won’t be able to understand what you really think.” Horikita wasn’t angry at Kushida’s words. “To be honest, I still don’t understand why you hate me so much.”

However, I was indeed very rude to you, who wanted to get along with me, and I apologize for that.

Kushida clearly hadn't expected Horikita to apologize to him.

Because in reality, Horikita didn't do anything wrong. She just didn't want to be friends with Kushida, and Kushida's repeated attempts to befriend her were all her own choices.

However, Horikita still chose to apologize, simply in an attempt to ease tensions between the two parties.

Horikita judged that Kushida's help was indispensable if Class D wanted to get out of their current predicament of zero points.

In order to obtain this power, Horikita has been thinking a lot these past few days about what attitude he should take when facing Kushida.

However, after seeing Horikita like this, Kushida became even angrier, or rather, he disliked Horikita even more.

Because Horikita chose the most difficult path, unlike her, a coward who only knew how to run away, seeing Horikita would unconsciously remind her of her own weakness.

"what do you want to say in the end?"

"I would like to ask you to do your part to help the class advance."

Hearing Horikita's words, Kushida found it extremely funny. Class promotion? Are you kidding me?

Do you think Class D still has a chance to advance after losing one student and Tatsuya?

“Even if the hope is slim, I have no intention of giving up, and…” Horikita’s expression was somewhat complicated, “You and Kamio are actually this close?”

Hearing Horikita's words and seeing her expression, Kushida immediately wanted to reply smugly: Anyway, you're better than me.

But when he thought about how Tatsuya Kamio had a better relationship with Kamuro and Shiina than he did, he couldn't laugh anymore.

"That's none of your business. What exactly do you want?"

The topic finally returned to the main point, and Horikita took a deep breath.

"Then I'll be blunt, Kushida-san, you're Kamio-san's spy planted in Class D, aren't you?"

That guy is so stupid.

"Why do you think so?"

“Because Ayanokouji saw you being caught red-handed by Kamio.” Horikita spoke vaguely, but she believed Kushida understood. “So I went to see Kamio yesterday and negotiated with him.”

As he spoke, Horikita took out the contract he had signed with Tatsuya Kamio that day.

"what is this?"

"This is the result of my negotiations with Kamio."

Speaking of this, Horikita felt extremely distressed, because she had been clearly and blatantly manipulated.

Kushida picked up the contract with some skepticism, looked at it, and then fell silent.

But soon, she suddenly laughed.

"Haha, hahaha... Horikita, it seems you've been tricked by Tatsuya. He's never threatened me to provide him with information."

Horikita's promise was by no means easy, and Kushida was overjoyed after watching Horikita busy herself with various tasks and being tricked by Kamio Tatsuya.

"So, you're saying you offered him the entry form for the sports festival?"

Horikita's foolish remarks brought Kushida's laughter to an abrupt halt.

"Heh, do you still think I provided Tatsuya with the competition form?" Kushida sneered and threw the contract back into his hand.

"Although I don't like you, I haven't betrayed the class."

Horikita was stunned when he heard Kushida's words.

"You...you're saying it wasn't you?"

Horikita initially thought Kushida was lying to her, but she quickly realized that Kushida had no reason to lie to her at this point. So who was he?

"What? Do you think I'm lying to you?" Seeing Horikita's expression of doubt, Kushida felt very pleased. "Actually, Horikita, I stopped caring about you a long time ago."

I thought you'd figured it out when I suggested prioritizing protecting our classmates over winning at the last sports festival, but I never expected you to be so foolish.

However, Horikita was no longer listening to these words.

She had only one question on her mind: if it wasn't Kushida who provided the information to Kamio Tatsuya, then who was it?

Did he plant other informants in the class?

Could it be Sakura-san?

Could it be that my prediction has unfortunately come true?

Isn’t this too ridiculous?

"Judging from your expression, you don't actually think that Tatsuya's informant is Sakura-kun, do you?"

"How did you..."

Horikita paused for a moment, then asked a question, but was immediately interrupted by Kushida.

"You should probably give up. Although Tatsuya may seem like that, he's actually surprisingly gentle, so he would never let Sakura do something like that."

It can only be said that Kushida understands Kamio Tatsuya better than Horikita; at least Kushida wouldn't suspect that Sakura is Kamio Tatsuya's informant.

After all, once this identity is exposed, Sakura will have almost no place in Class D.

Therefore, Tatsuya Kamio never considered Sakura as his informant from the beginning, and she was not suitable either.

"Then who do you think it could be?"

"Who knows?" Kushida finished his coffee on the table in a cheerful mood. "If there's nothing else, I'll be going now. You can worry about it all you want, Horikita-kun. I like this expression of yours."

Oh, and by the way, keep an eye on your little henchmen. If they dare to tell anyone about me, I'll drag Class D down to hell.

Before leaving, Kushida couldn't help but remind Horikita Suzune, who was questioning her life.

Chapter 211 Sakayanagi Comes Knocking

As the final exams began, Kamuro spent less time in Tatsuya Kamio's room. Except for the first few days when they were inseparable, he would only come over on Saturdays and weekends.

Of course, Kamuroku doesn't just sit for a while when he comes over.

Although she was physically fit, she was surprisingly slow-witted and not very good at studying, so most of the time it was Kamio Tatsuya who taught her to read.

Moreover, after undergoing numerous training sessions, Kamuro has gradually become unable to withstand Tatsuya Kamio's attacks. It's believed that it won't be long before she begs for mercy and shouts "No!"

At that point, Tatsuya Kamio can proceed to the next step of his plan.

In the past few days, Horikita has been investigating the spies that Kamio Tatsuya planted in Class D, and has even subtly asked Kamio Tatsuya about them.

But the result was nothing.

This made Tatsuya Kamio somewhat emotional. Hirata knew that Karuizawa and he were connected, but he didn't tell Horikita about it.

So, is he willing to let the class fail in the exam just to protect his classmates?

It seems that he has completely changed after Chi's expulsion from school.

While Kamio Tatsuya felt that Hirata had considerable shortcomings, he believed that Hirata was definitely a good employee.

Tatsuya Kamio is already considering what he will do after graduation.

The prerequisite for having a harem is having the economic means to ensure everyone can live a high-quality life.

If we even have the ability to provide them with a high quality of life, why are we so greedy?

So he's thinking about what to do in the future.

He doesn't have many ideas at the moment, but the simplest one is to become an athlete. With his physical abilities, breaking the world record wouldn't be a problem.

He can handle any type of sport.

However, while this way I can earn enough money, I'll definitely be very busy with work, so I'll postpone this for now.

The best way is actually to start your own business and be your own boss, and have others work for you.

But what to do when starting a business is a question.
