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

While he intended to limit Nanyun, his main motivation was that he felt the two were not capable enough and were easily influenced by Nanyun.

And to be able to serve as an assistant under such a picky former student council president, her abilities must be quite impressive.

You could even say that her strength lies in cooperating with others.

If even the notoriously picky Horikita Manabu could handle it, Kamio Tatsu didn't think she couldn't handle this simple test.

So the answer is obvious: the others in the group were deliberately picking on Akane.

At the same time, it can be basically confirmed that Nagumo's target is not just himself, but also Tachibana Akane.

Ambidextrous, Nagumo-senpai, you're really underestimating me and Horikita-senpai.

But then again, what exactly is Nagumo's purpose in doing this?

The leader of Akane Tachibana's group is a girl from Class 3-B named Momoko Inugari.

Akane Tachibana is not the group leader. Even if the group's grades are poor, the group leader, Inogari, will be the first to be expelled, and then Akane Tachibana will be implicated.

If the outcome turns out this way, then there are only two possible consequences.

Horikita Manabu chooses to help Tachibana Akane, while Inogari is expelled from school. This way, the class points between the two classes can be reduced by 300 points.

Currently, the difference in class points between the two classes is 312 points. If a teammate is sacrificed at this point to close the gap by 300 points, it is indeed possible to win.

However, all of this is predicated on Inugari being willing to take the initiative to do this.

Kamio Tatsuya didn't know much about Inogari, but even without knowing him, he didn't think Inogari was the kind of person who would rather sacrifice himself for others.

There are very few people like this. Ichinose, a first-year student, is like this, but Tatsuya Kamio has lived two lives and has only ever met one person like Ichinose.

Besides, if he really resembled Ichinose, she wouldn't have attacked Ban in this way.

Therefore, after the group's score is below passing, there is only one possible outcome.

That is, Horikita Manabu chooses to save Tachibana Akane, and Inogari will also be saved by his classmates using points.

Inugari did this only after he was certain he wouldn't be expelled.

But if that's the case, everyone will lose 400 class points plus 20 million personal points. According to relativity, wouldn't that be the same as doing nothing at all?

Kamio Tatsuya was speechless. This guy was already this rich in his third year? Is this how you spend your money?

Just to prevent two people from dropping out of school, it would take 4000 million private points. There are so many better things to do with that money.

At this point, the smart thing to do would be to take advantage of Horikita's wariness of Nagumo and seize the opportunity in this exam to close the gap with the class or even surpass it.

Kamio Tatsumi didn't think they could miss this opportunity either, after all, it was Class 3-B, who had been competing with Horikita Gakuen for three years but only had a 312-point difference.

Even if the leader's overall abilities are not as good as Horikita Manabu's, they won't be too far behind.

However, they don't seem to have chosen to do so, which means that they have other interests in excluding Tachibana Akane.

So where does this profit come from?

The only answer is that this benefit came from Nanyun.

Moreover, this benefit is enough to make Inugari risk expulsion to fight for it, and it will affect his future exams.

So, is it a large amount of private points?

For Class 3B to do such a thankless task, the points must be worth at least 20 million.

I'm amazed again, Nagumo is really rich!

However, while Kamio Tatsuya envied the points he had, he couldn't understand his actions. If it were Kamio Tatsuya, he would never play around like that.

Tomorrow is a day off, so after dinner, Tatsuya Kamio plans to go to the public bathhouse for a soak.

The public bathhouse is open for three hours from 7 pm to 10 pm. Each grade has one hour of use time. The first grade can use it from 7 pm to 8 pm, which is a perk for the lower grades.

In the changing room of the bathhouse, Tatsuya Kamio saw his former classmate, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji.

Kamio Tatsuya glanced at him. This guy was indeed a freak. Although his muscles didn't look very developed, the data he displayed was unbelievable.

Not only strength, but also agility and stamina are both 7 points, and even intelligence is 7 points.

This was the first guy that Kamio Tatsuya had ever met whose abilities were all at level 7.

By the way, Koenji's Strength, Intelligence, and Agility are 7 points, and his Stamina is 8 points, making him a guy who completely surpasses human limits.

If a person's physique is not exercised regularly, their physical attributes will gradually decline over time, so Koenji's daily exercise is essential.

However, Tatsuya Kamio doesn't usually see Ayanokouji training much, yet his physical abilities seem to have remained largely unchanged.

"Ayanokouji, do you exercise regularly?"

"No, I just do some light exercise during PE class." Ayanokouji shook his head. "But you, you seem to have a lot more muscle than the last time we met."

"Because I exercise occasionally."

Kamio Tatsuya tried to brush it off.

"This isn't the kind of effect you can get from occasional training, is it? In fact, the speed you unleashed at the sports festival is probably already among the top in the country."

"Maybe so, maybe I'm just naturally gifted."

Ayanokouji remained silent; he was actually quite doubtful. Was this really a talent?

A month before the sports festival, Ayanokouji and Tatsuya Kamio saw Tatsuya Kamio's leg muscles when they went to the pool together.

The muscles at that time could never reach the speed of the sports festival.

However, he performed exceptionally well during the sports festival, so did he develop such impressive muscles in just one month?

Is there really such amazing talent?

Doesn't this violate the normal growth patterns of humans?

While the two were chatting, another person came into the locker room and greeted Kamio Tatsuya and Ayanokouji as soon as he entered.

"Good evening, Kamio, Ayanokouji."

"Good evening, Kanzaki." Tatsuya Kamio nodded. "By the way, is Ishikura-senpai's group in the same large group as yours?"

"That's right." Kanzaki asked as he took off his shirt, "Does Kamio also have a relationship with Ishikura-senpai?"

"I haven't spoken to him. I'm just interested in this guy who fought with Horikita-senpai for three years."

"Ishikura-senpai is really amazing. If he hadn't met Horikita-senpai, I think he could have led Class B to be promoted to Class 1."

Kanzaki's words were full of admiration for Ishikura.

However, it is clear that even though Kanzaki admires Ishikura so much, he does not think Ishikura can beat Horikita Manabu.

It seems the previous speculation was correct; Ishikura did indeed join forces with Nagumo in order to get promoted.

Nagumo seems genuinely interested in defeating Horikita Manabu, but how to define victory...

That is to help Ishikura win against Horikita in the last two months, so that he will not be able to graduate from the class.

He was willing to spend a lot of his personal points for this.

Next, the three of them went to the bathhouse together, but for some reason, the bathhouse was filled with a philosophical atmosphere today.

Perhaps because of the shared training camp, the relationships between students from different classes seemed to have eased.

You can even see students from different classes sitting arm in arm on the edge of the bathtub, chatting about something.

"Oh, Kanzaki! Over here!"

Upon seeing Tatsuya Kamio and his two companions enter, Shibata from Class B immediately came over to greet them.

"Kamio and Ayanokouji, come over here too."

"What are you doing?"

Tatsuya Kamio smiled and leaned closer, thinking, "He can't possibly be really doing philosophy, can he?"

Shibata gave a mysterious smile.

"We were talking about whose child is the oldest in the grade."

Which one is the biggest?

"A woman's breasts?"

Don't think that Tatsuya Kamio is thinking something inappropriate. When boys get together, the conversation can easily veer in that direction.

"Although this topic is also very tempting, this is what we're discussing today."

As he spoke, Shibata pointed to his lower body, which was covered by a bath towel.

……

Damn, it really is philosophy.

Kamio Tatsuya wanted to turn around and leave immediately, but then he thought, if I turn around and leave now, wouldn't that mean I'm scared?

Therefore, we absolutely cannot leave.

Moreover, he was quite confident in his abilities, not only receiving praise from Kamuro, but even Kiryuin, a senior who had only glanced at him by chance, thought he was very capable.

So what am I afraid of?

"That's so childish."

Kanzaki, standing to the side, sighed helplessly and tightened the towel around his waist.

This guy……

Is it a lack of self-confidence?

"But it's also very interesting, and most importantly, it can liven up the atmosphere."

It's already hot in the bathhouse, and you're making it even hotter? Aren't you afraid of getting cooked?

Seeing the increasingly boisterous boys, Tatsuya Kamio went straight into the bath, enjoying the comfort of the hot water washing away his fatigue.

Chapter 251 Night Party

The absurd competition in the bathhouse had ended, but to everyone's surprise, Ayanokouji actually won the final championship, stunning almost all the first-year students.

Indeed, one cannot judge a book by its cover, nor can one measure the depths of the sea.

Kamio Tatsuya unfortunately ranks in the third tier, slightly inferior to Koenji, who has Caucasian ancestry, and Yamada, who has Negro ancestry.

Back in his dorm, Tatsuya Kamio found a note under his pillow that read 01:00.

Needless to say, this is definitely the time, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, it will be today.

Since tomorrow is a rest day and breakfast is not prepared by the first graders, it's okay to sleep in a little later tonight.

The back of the paper had a meeting invitation written on it, but no name was written on it.

Judging from the situation, it shouldn't have been done by a first-year student.

Because first-year students don't need to find him this way.

So it's for students in higher grades.

At night, Tatsuya Kamio lay in bed in a daze until 1 a.m., which was not an easy thing for him.

Because he usually goes to bed really early.

But at that moment, he noticed a sliver of light shining through the crack in the door connecting the room and the corridor, and it was flashing, as if it were sending some kind of signal.

Although he didn't know the specific meaning, Tatsuya Kamio still sat up in bed and put on his shoes.

This is the advantage of sleeping on the lower bunk: you don't have to worry about being discovered when you go out at night.

Picking up the flashlight hanging on the door, Kamio Tatsuya left the room and walked outside. The moonlight shone down, allowing Kamio Tatsuya to see the person's face clearly.

"It really is you, Horikita-senpai."

When Kamio Tatsuya saw Horikita Manabu, he wasn't surprised, because there was no one else but Horikita Manabu who would come looking for him at this time.

If it were Nagumo or an older student in the same group, they would definitely look for him during the day, without having to wait until the evening.

That leaves only Horikita Manabu.

"You want to ask about Nagumo's whereabouts, is that right?"

"That's right, so you're not the only person I invited."

I'm not the only one?

Just as Kamio Tatsuya was thinking this, he heard footsteps behind him, and then, under the moonlight, that familiar expressionless face appeared.
