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

"That's right, I don't believe in this guy's kindness at all."

……

Listening to the discussion among the students in Class D below, Tatsuya Kamio smiled and then clapped his hands.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

"Well, I'll give you a compliment for thinking of that, but unfortunately there's no reward."

Then, Kushida sighed.

"Then what exactly does Kamio-san want? As long as it's something we can give, as long as it helps us protect our comrades, I'll agree to anything you ask."

"Kushida-chan..."

Tsk tsk tsk, you'll agree to anything I say? That's a dangerous thing to say.

Kamio Tatsuya looked Kushida up and down, then glanced at the other students in Class D, who all looked moved.

"What about other people's opinions?"

"I have no objection. I'm willing to do anything to protect my comrades."

The second person to respond was Hirata.

So that's how it is. He was waiting for Kushida to speak first. Indeed, Kushida is the one more suited to offer this kind of opinion.

"I also support Kushida-chan's approach."

"Me too, I support it."

Upon hearing this, Tatsuya Kamio looked at the students of Class D with a look of utter contempt.

Kushida said that because she wanted to boost her reputation, while Hirata said that because she was genuinely willing to pay any price to protect her classmates.

As for you guys, haha, don't joke around. You're just thinking about making the deal happen quickly and don't want to be expelled, right?

As for Horikita, she didn't speak, but at this moment she had no right to speak.

"Dang Dang Dang..."

Tatsuya Kamio was already standing on the podium. He gently tapped the table on the podium, quieting Class D down.

"In that case, I demand that Class D surrender to me completely."

Tatsuya Kamio's voice wasn't loud, but to the students of Class D, it sounded like thunder.

"You, what did you say?"

"I said, I want Class D to surrender to me completely!" Finally, Tatsuya Kamio began to speak slowly and deliberately, "Do you have a problem, Yukimura-kun?"

"Are you kidding me? Are you asking us to give up our hopes of getting promoted?"

Yukimura frowned, seemingly unable to suppress his anger.

"Yes, is there a problem? You can choose to drop out of school now or give up your promotion to a higher position."

"Even if we drop out of school, only one of us will be expelled, and we'll only lose one classmate. It doesn't necessarily mean we'll lose our hope of getting promoted!"

Looking at Yukimura arguing his case, Kamio Tatsuya gave him a pitying look.

"Indeed, you are right. Even if Class D loses a student, it will not necessarily lose its competitiveness in the promotion class."

Even though you've all lost badly before, what if a miracle happens next?

So let's get back to the question: who among you is willing to sacrifice yourself for Class D, hmm?

At this point, Tatsuya Kamio suddenly slapped his forehead.

"Oh, right, Hirata is definitely willing to drop out of school, but I think many of you wouldn't vote for Hirata, would you?"

So Hirata never came up with the stupid idea of ​​'expelling me' in the first place.

Then Tatsuya Kamio laughed.

"And I don't object to Hirata dropping out of school. After all, without Hirata, you guys won't be able to move up to the next class, and you'll probably be eating mountain vegetable meals every day from now on."

This can be considered a complete surrender. I don't even have to lend you that potentially unpayable twelve million. How wonderful! How wonderful!

Upon hearing Kamio Tatsuya's words, Yukimura turned to look at the students of Class D. No one dared to meet his gaze, or perhaps they were too afraid to look at Kamio Tatsuya on the podium.

At this moment, he also felt despair. In the huge Class D, not a single person dared to resist Tatsuya Kamio at this moment.

Almost everyone was thinking about how to survive this exam.

It's over, Class D is finished!

Having figured this out, Yukimura sat back down in his seat, somewhat dejected.

"Or are you willing to withdraw from this now, Yukimura-kun?" Kamio Tatsuya looked at Yukimura, who had sat back down, seemingly not intending to let him off the hook. "If you drop out, they might have a chance to move up a class, you know? Want to take a gamble?"

Yukimura remained silent, but his clenched fists revealed that he had no intention of leaving the scene.

"See? You're not willing to drop out of school, so what right do you have to demand that they sacrifice themselves for the rest of the class?"

Kamio Tatsuya's tone was full of sarcasm and arrogance, but no one in Class D could refute him.

Those who lack the courage to drop out of school naturally wouldn't dare to stand up and disagree with Tatsuya Kamio, while those who have the courage to drop out are basically the ones Tatsuya Kamio would be happy to see drop out of school.

In either case, Tatsuya Kamio is willing to accept it.

Since the final outcome is that Class D will be eliminated here, there is no other possibility.

Kamio Tatsuya scanned the students in Class D once again, but no one stepped forward at this moment.

"Since no one objects, I'll take it as you all agreeing, okay?"

Hearing Kamio Tatsuya say those words, Horikita Suzune's feelings were undoubtedly complicated, because it was she who had decided to go to Kamio Tatsuya to borrow points.

The current situation has far exceeded her expectations.

Although she anticipated that Class D might pay a heavy price, she never expected that Class D would lose the opportunity to be promoted to a higher class as a result.

Did I handle this situation wrong?

Horikita Suzune thought to herself.

Her concerns were actually valid, but she was wrong about one thing.

From the moment Kamio Tatsuya stepped into this class, things had already moved into Kamio Tatsuya's rhythm and had nothing to do with her anymore.

From the moment she stepped into Class D's classroom, it was already destined that Class D would become what it is today.

This has absolutely nothing to do with Horikita's subsequent response.

Chapter 269 Complete Control

Tatsuya Kamio used the threat of dropping out of school to put the students in Class D under immense pressure, leaving them with no choice but to acquiesce to his demands—to surrender completely.

Seeing that the situation was settled, Tatsuya Kamio took out a piece of paper from his pocket.

This is not a prepared contract, but a draft.

After Horikita approached him at noon, he began to consider what kind of contract he should sign with Class D. He had anticipated the current situation.

So, I used the lunch break to come up with a temporary draft.

“My requirements are recorded here, and now I will read them to you.”

First, the contract parties are clearly indicated here: Party A is Tatsuya Kamio, and Party B is all the students of Class D.

First: After the contract is signed, the representative of Party B shall collect all the private points of the class, and Party A shall make up any shortfall of less than 20 million private points.

The 20 million private points obtained through this method will be temporarily frozen and can only be used to help students who have been expelled during the class voting exam this Saturday (March 5th).

Second: After Party A replenishes the private points, Party B's student needs to give half of the private points earned on the first of each month before graduation to Party A for repayment.

Third: The total repayment amount is 20 million private points. Before the repayment amount is completely cleared, Party A has the right to interfere with the actions of all members of Party B during all special examinations held during the period.

Note 1: Party A shall not intentionally assign any member of Party B to withdraw from the school during special examinations.

Note 2: If anyone violates the terms of the contract after it has been signed, they will be expelled from the school.

Note 3: Once the contract is signed, it remains valid even if the location changes in the future.

The draft contract wasn't long, but Tatsuya Kamio thought it was quite comprehensive.

First, it was stated that Kamio Tatsuya's obligation in this exam was to replenish the 20 million personal points for the students in Class D so that they could pass this special exam.

Secondly, there is the repayment plan. Of course, Tatsuya Kamio could not only collect 12 million private points, so he increased the amount to 20 million.

Meanwhile, during his debt period, Kamio Tatsuya was also able to manipulate Class D during special exams, getting them to provide him with assistance.

This also gave hope to the students in Class D, making them feel that as long as they work hard to repay their loans, they still have a chance to pay them off, and then they won't have to be at the mercy of others.

We still need to give them some hope. What if they give up? Wouldn't all of Kamio Tatsuya's efforts be for nothing?

Note 1 clarifies that when Tatsuya Kamio interferes with Class D, he must not intentionally cause the students of Class D to drop out of school.

If this point is not written, it is equivalent to using the fate of one person in Class D to influence the fate of everyone in Class D.

If he doesn't write it down, it's as if Tatsuya Kamio truly holds the fate of everyone in Class D in his hands.

Such an outrageous thing, even Class D probably wouldn't easily compromise on.

As for note two below, it reflects the binding force of the contract.

Contract Three, however, is specifically targeted at one person, wouldn't you agree, Ayanokouji-san?

After hearing the contents of the contract, Hirata stood up with a serious expression.

"Kamio, does that mean you'll be responsible for protecting us once we sign this contract?"

Upon hearing Hirata's outlandish idea, Kamio Tatsuya scoffed.

"Are you dreaming? I'm just promising that I won't let you drop out of school, after all, you are all valuable resources to me now."

But do you think I should be held responsible for your lack of effort? Don't be delusional, it's impossible.

Upon hearing this, Hirata Yosuke fell silent for a moment.

"It seems you all have no objections to my request," Tatsuya Kamio said, scanning the students of Class D. "In that case, let's talk about the consequences of violating the contract."

Contracts are meant to be followed, but there are always people who want to break them.

To prevent this from happening, a severe punishment is needed to restrain them.

"The consequence of breaking the contract is expulsion from school, and I think you all agree on that, since you were already at risk of expulsion during this exam anyway."

"In that case, let's add another clause: besides those who break the contract, Hirata, you'll also be expelled from school. Is that alright?"

Tatsuya Kamio's additional condition startled the students of Class D.

However, Hirata agreed without any hesitation.

"Okay, I will try my best to keep everyone in Class D in check."

“Very well, it’s settled then.” Tatsuya Kamio put away the draft. “I will bring the formal contract over after school, and then I will give it to you to sign for all the students in Class D.”

After explaining everything, Tatsuya Kamio glanced at Ayanokouji, who was still pretending to be dead, and then left Class D classroom.

He originally wanted to include Ayanokouji in the list of those to be expelled, but that would make his intentions too obvious, so he decided to choose Hirata instead.

As long as Hirata is gone, Class D is no longer a threat.

Hirata is the center of the students.

Moreover, Note 3 already restricts Ayanokouji, so there's no need to be overly cautious.

Tatsuya Kamio walked out of Class D's classroom with a refreshed look, only to see Sae Chabashira leaning against the back door with a grim expression.

At that moment, the other party turned their gaze over because of the commotion at the front door.

"Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Chazhu. You can go in now."

"what have you done?"

"Haha, who knows."

Kamio Tatsuya smiled knowingly. "Didn't you want Class D to be promoted to a class? Then I'll completely strip it of its right to be promoted."

Ignoring Chabashira's ever-changing expression, Kamio Tatsuya walked towards Class C's classroom.

There wasn't much time left before school ended. He still needed to finalize the contract and find Banlai to act as a notary, so he didn't have time to chat with Chazhu here.

If you want to know something, just ask yourself. That will only make you more desperate, won't it?

When the door to Class C was opened, the lively class fell silent for a second before becoming noisy again. However, the reason for the noise was that everyone was discussing the person that Long Yuan had mentioned.
