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

This surprised even Tatsuya Kamio. "Have you lost your mind? Your life is in my hands. Is it really okay to jump around like this?"

In fact, Yamauchi knew this, but his thought process was rather peculiar. He felt that Kamio Tatsuya was about to drop out of school, and once Kamio Tatsuya was expelled, he would be safe.

Isn't this mentally retarded?

Kamio Tatsuya originally wanted to get rid of Sudo first, since his athletic ability was indeed too outstanding in the first year.

Leaving it behind might be a future problem, but Yamauchi's actions made Kamio Tatsuya change his mind.

Moreover, Yamanouchi's jump not only displeased Tatsuo Kamio, but also made many others feel unhappy with him.

Because of the accident, most people felt sympathy and regret when Kamio's group failed to meet the standard, but he actually had the mood to gloat at this moment.

"Quiet!"

After the teacher spoke, Yamauchi also shut his mouth, but judging from the smile on his face, you could tell that he was expecting something.

At this moment, Katsuragi walked towards Nagumo and returned shortly after. Then, Katsuragi nodded to Kamio Tatsuya to indicate that he had received the points.

In the second-year group, Nagumo also looked at Kamio Tatsuya with a smile.

In fact, after the accident involving the students in the class, Nan Yun had considered backing out, but then he thought that it was only two people missing, and if he tried hard, he might still be able to pass.

Moreover, I heard that one of them was not seriously injured and might be able to return to take the exam, so Nagumo did not terminate the contract.

Fortunately, he didn't withdraw the contract, otherwise he definitely wouldn't have earned this extra money.

Then, Tatsuya Kamio produced a contract.

"Teacher, this is a contract I signed during my first semester under the school's fair supervision. The contract stipulates that if I have to withdraw from school due to exams, one of the three people listed above will withdraw in my place."

The host took the contract from Tatsuya Kamio and examined it carefully.

Nan Yun looked over in disbelief, but many of the first-year students weren't surprised.

In other words, did many of them actually know about this?

Upon arriving here, Nan Yun's expression turned gloomy.

Soul pale!

I got tricked by that bald guy, Katsuragi.

He and Kamio are in cahoots!

On the other side, the teacher nodded after confirming the contents of the contract.

"The contract is genuine and valid, but Chi Kuan-chi, who is mentioned in the contract, has been expelled from school, so it is no longer valid. In addition, you need to pay 200 million private points to transfer the punishment result."

Meanwhile, Yamauchi finally realized something was wrong.

Tatsuya Kamio readily paid two million private points with his phone, then designated the person who would drop out of school in his place: Haruki Yamauchi, Class 1-D.

Upon hearing this result, Yamauchi's legs went weak, and he collapsed to his knees.

"No way, this can't be... Hirata, save me!"

Seeing Yamauchi's condition, Hirata felt sorry for him, but Class D didn't even have enough class points, let alone personal points, so there was no way to save Yamauchi.

However, he quickly came up with a solution: he would drop out of school in Yamauchi's place.

"Classmates, can I do you a favor?"

Hirata's words did have some effect, so the students in the class looked at him.

"Could you lend me some points? I'll drop out of school in place of Yamauchi. 200 million yen will be enough."

Hirata's words immediately ignited the atmosphere at the scene like a bomb.

"Impossible. We would lend it to Hirata-kun if it were anyone else, but not this one!"

"Exactly, we can't let Hirata-kun bear such consequences for a voyeur!"

"What will happen to Class D if Hirata-kun isn't around?"

Before the boy could even speak, the girls' objections drowned out Hirata's words.

"But……"

"If you really want to drop out, I can pay for it for you." Tatsuya Kamio's voice came from the C class camp.

If it only costs two million to get rid of Hirata, that would be wonderful.

Anyway, Yamauchi is no longer of any value, and after this, Kamio Tatsuya will no longer use him as a scapegoat.

Furthermore, since Sakayanagi is going to target him later, letting him stay would actually be a good thing for Kamio Tatsuya.

"Thank you, Kamio."

Although Hirata knew that Kamio Tatsuya wanted to use this opportunity to get him out of school, he still thanked Kamio Tatsuya.

"Hirata, no!"

"Hey, Kamio, mind your own business!"

……

After the students in Class D argued for a while, at the crucial moment, Chabashira Sae stepped forward.

"Hirata, you don't need to say anymore. The practice of dropping out of school on behalf of someone else is an imperfect rule, so the school abolished it after Kamio Tatsuya used it."

Even if you managed to scrape together two million yen now, it wouldn't be enough to replace Yamauchi dropping out of school.

"how come……"

"Unfortunately, that's the truth."

Chabashira Sae's declaration thwarted Hirata's plans. He opened his mouth, but then stopped talking about it and just looked down at the ground.

Meanwhile, Yamauchi, who had just been kneeling on the ground and almost collapsed, seemed to have finally accepted reality. He then slowly raised his head and looked at Kamio Tatsuya not far away, his eyes filled with hatred.

"It's all your fault! It's all your fault!"

Shouting, he charged toward Tatsuya Kamio, even swinging his right fist at him.

However, when he was still a meter away from Tatsuya Kamio, a burly man blocked his way, not only stopping his attack but also slapping him to the ground.

"Bed boy!"

Nice, Yamada-kun!

Well played!

You should have used more force; after all, he's no longer a student at the school.

Stepping out from behind Yamada Albert, Tatsuya Kamio glanced at Haruki Yamauchi, who was lying on the ground weeping, and shook his head.

Then, he looked at Sakayanagi Arisu in the women's line, and she happened to look back at him as well.

Actually, it would be best to expel Yamauchi, because Sakayanagi is clearly going to make a move against him.

Since Tatsuya Kamio couldn't possibly intervene to protect Yamauchi, it was best to let him leave the scene here.

Anyway, it doesn't really matter to Tatsuya Kamio.

After Yamauchi was taken away, the teacher who was announcing the results continued to speak.

"Although the expulsion result has been transferred to someone else, the class points to be deducted will not change. Class C will have 100 class points deducted as a result. Kamio, do you have any objections?"

"No."

"In that case, do you intend to exercise your authority as the head of your group?"

Speaking of this, Tatsuya Kamio smiled and then looked towards Class B's camp.

"To prevent me from dragging their classmates down with me, Class B spent 15 million personal points. How do you plan to convince me?"

Upon hearing this, the B-class camp immediately became somewhat chaotic.

They really didn't expect Kamio Tatsu to pull such a stunt, and Kanzaki was even more regretful, he should have thought of this on the first day.

If I had thought of this back then, I would never have made Kamio Tatsuya the leader of his group. Instead, I should have made the other members of Class C the leaders.

In that case, Tatsuya Kamio would definitely not dare to let the group fail.

But it's too late to say anything now. The current priority is to prevent Tatsuya Kamio from taking the students of Class B down with him.

If the burial is successful, Class B will have the ability to save their classmates, but they will have to pay 400 class points and 20 million personal points.

Since Class B paid out 15 million points, it's highly likely that Class B will also only need to pay out 15 million points.

This comparison led to an immediate decision within Class B: pay up to avoid disaster!

After a period of discussion, Ichinose walked out of the class team with a wry smile on her face.

"Kamio-kun, you really caught us off guard with that move."

"I had already made this plan when the exam rules came out, but the person I initially prepared to be buried with was Takaenji from Class D."

However, an unexpected event occurred, and Koenji was expelled early. So, I had no choice but to maximize my own interests. Class struggles are always like this, so I hope you won't blame me.

Kamio Tatsuya looked at Ichinose with a smile. "Since we are rivals, you have a responsibility to see through my plan. If you don't, then you can expect to fail."

Furthermore, Tatsuya Kamio didn't resort to underhanded tactics; he simply used the cards he already had to bring the situation to its current state.

If anyone is to blame, it's them for not seeing through Tatsuya Kamio's plan and for not taking the scapegoat in Tatsuya Kamio's hands seriously.

Others were worried about dropping out of school, but Tatsuya Kamio didn't care at all.

"Kamio-kun is simply using his trump card fairly and squarely, so I have nothing to complain about. If it's ten million or five million points, could you please refrain from exercising your authority over the students in Class B?"

"Of course, the school can testify to this. If they change their minds, they can make me drop out of school directly."

Kamio Tatsuya agreed without hesitation, and then looked at the teacher beside him.

Then, the other party nodded.

Although there was no contract, with the school as a witness, Tatsuya Kamio could not go back on his word.

Next, Ichinose transferred 10 million personal points to Kamio Tatsuya, and together with the 15 million he received from Katsuragi, that made a total of 30 million.

Adding in my previous savings, well, the balance has reached 3400 million.

If that's the case, then we can look for an opportunity to bring Kamuro into Class C as well.

Staying under Sakayanagi's command all the time is not a good thing.

After things settled down with the first-year students, Nan Yun also made some moves, even though he was tricked by the two first-year students working together.

But that's not important. What's important is that he's finally going to beat Horikita.

"Congratulations, Horikita-senpai, you're truly amazing."

"You lost, Nagumo."

Fujimaki, a student in the third year, knew nothing about this and told Nagumo this.

"haha, really?"

A strange smile appeared on Nan Yun's face.

"Thank you for the points, Senior Nagumo."

Just then, Tatsuya Kamio's voice came from not far away.

"Senior Nan Yun, you don't think I didn't notice you attacked me, do you?"

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to have such a contract. This time it was indeed my mistake, but I didn't lose everything."

It's not a complete loss, haha, let's wait and see.

"Really? Senior Nagumo is referring to Senior Inugari's group, right?"

"Did you do something?"

"You'll find out soon, the results are about to be announced, aren't they?"

Just after Tatsuya Kamio finished speaking, the announcement of the results rang out again.

Chapter 257 Winners and Losers!

"Now, let's announce the results for the girls' group. The first place goes to the group of Ayase Natsumi from Class 3-C."

After the results came out, the girls started cheering. Most of the first-year students in the same group as Ayase Natsumi were from Class D.

On the girls' side, because Ichinose did not lead most of the students in Class B, Sakayanagi from Class B was unable to participate in the road relay race, so the results of Class B and Class B were relatively average.

Ironically, Class D, which had been largely ignored, won first place under Kushida's leadership.
