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

That person who wasn't needed in Class C, that person who, after being expelled, not only didn't affect Class C but actually benefited Class C.

As soon as Tatsuya Kamio sat down, Ishizaki walked right over.

"Kamio, who is the person that Brother Ryuen was talking about?"

Upon hearing this, Kamio Tatsuya looked up at Ishizaki.

Tsk, how dare you ask me this question? If I tell you, wouldn't all of Longyuan's efforts be in vain?

After being stared at by Tatsuya Kamio for a while, Ishizaki chuckled twice and then silently retreated.

This gave Tatsuya Kamio time to start organizing his drafts.

After quickly completing the task, Kamio Tatsuya went directly to the board and explained the matter.

After learning the whole story from Tatsuya Kamio, Ban's feelings were very complicated.

Overjoyed, relieved, and with a touch of schadenfreude.

After school, Tatsuya Kamio returned to Class D and handed the contract to Hirata.

"The contract has been notarized by the school. Take it and have everyone in Class D sign it. Give it to me tomorrow morning."

Hirata took the contract and nodded with a complicated expression.

Although the days ahead will be tough, this school is still far better than any other school.

The fact that it offers free room and board alone is something that other schools can't match.

Moreover, this school is safer for special students like those from Karuizawa.

After finishing these tasks, Kamio Tatsuya went to the student council office. Although Katsuragi handled the work for him, he still had to report there sometimes.

While I'm at it, I'll check the work that Katsuragi has handled.

This is certainly not because we don't trust Katsuragi's abilities, but simply because we want to gather intelligence through these tasks.

This is a very important source of intelligence.

At 5 p.m., Tatsuya Kamio and Katsuragi left the student council office together.

"Are Class B also planning to use their personal points to get through this exam?"

Walking down the street, Kamio Tatsuya asked about the exam.

This exam is rather special, so there's basically no need to hide anything, and asking around won't hurt.

"That's right, I don't think there are any unnecessary students in Class B."

He also realized the purpose of this exam: to eliminate unnecessary students.

Kamio Tatsuya glanced at the other person, but Katsuragi's expression remained unchanged, still very calm.

"From what you're saying, it seems Class C is also planning to do the same."

In response to Katsuragi's question, Kamio Tatsuya smiled and nodded.

While that's true for Class 1, it's different for Class C. He and Ryuen genuinely want Toki to drop out of school. This guy is not only incompetent but also extremely ambitious and wants to cause trouble.

For Class C now, he is a ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment, and neither Tatsuya Kamio nor Ryuen can let him go unchecked.

Therefore, the student in charge had to drop out of school, and the news absolutely could not be leaked.

otherwise……

Students in each class have the right to cast "appreciation votes" for students in other classes.

Given Sakayanagi's personality, he certainly wouldn't mind disrupting Kamio Tatsuya and the others' plans.

What if Sakayanagi mobilizes the class's resources and casts all the votes of praise for the current leader...?

That means this guy is at least guaranteed a spot in this exam.

Therefore, Tatsuya Kamio chose to keep it a secret.

"What about the protection points? Did Class B choose to give them to Sakayanagi?"

"I'm sorry I can't tell you that."

Since it involves the number of protected points, this becomes a matter of strategy, so Katsuragi chose not to say anything, but Kamio Tatsuya didn't care either.

"Let's just say it's Sakayanagi. There are forty people in Class B, and Sakayanagi can only get a maximum of thirty-nine appreciation votes. It's not a sure thing at all."

Katsuragi frowned immediately, understanding what Kamio Tatsuya meant.

Then he sighed.

"It seems that Sakayanagi won't be able to get these protection points."

Tatsuya Kamio smiled but didn't say anything.

Katsuragi was smart; he understood after just one hint.

That's right, how could we let someone like Sakayanagi get protection points?

impossible.

After understanding the situation, Katsuragi was also thinking about something.

That is, could we use the other side's methods to disrupt Class C's few protection points? But after thinking about it, Katsuragi shook his head, saying it would probably be difficult.

Kamio Tatsumi, who came up with this idea, was not without precautions. He had a good relationship with Ichinose and also held leverage over Class D.

It is indeed quite difficult to control the allocation of protection points for Class C by pooling praise votes.

Back in his dorm, Tatsuya Kamio's room welcomed a long-awaited guest.

"Oh, it's been a long time, Kushida."

Kamio Tatsuya sat in a chair, looking at Kushida Kikyo sitting on his bed, his face full of smiles.

"Why did you have to interfere? Now my points are almost gone." Kushida started complaining as soon as they met.

Kushida also signed a contract, which meant that she would have to use the remaining points to help her classmates, and she would have to hand over half of the points she received each month.

For someone like her, with friends all over the grade and even the whole school, the points can be very expensive.

So she used the excuse of delivering a contract to find Tatsuya Kamio and began to complain.

Actually, Kamio Tatsuya also has friends in Class D, such as Sakura. However, Sakura is the type to cook for herself, so she spends fewer points.

Moreover, everyone encounters setbacks.

"This is a golden opportunity to crush Class D, and I'm not going to let it slip by," Tatsuya Kamio said calmly. "And don't forget, it was Horikita who came to me to borrow points first, so I just went along with it."

Even if Horikita hadn't come to him to borrow points, he planned to go to Class D and offer to lend them points.

At that time, the desperate students of Class D will certainly not let go of this lifeline, and Tatsuya Kamio will still make the same request as today.

"If there's nothing else, you can go back now."

As he spoke, Tatsuya Kamio picked up the contract on the table and began to read it.

In the blank signature area for Party B, the names of all thirty-six students in Class D were written haphazardly, without any omissions.

Looking at this, Tatsuya Kamio nodded, then took out his phone and took a picture of the contract.

Then I casually tossed it into the drawer. Tomorrow I'll have the board take a look and record it in the school's system.

"After not seeing you for so long, you're actually trying to kick me out."

Kushida's face showed a resentful expression.

"So what do you want? Do you want me to treat you to dinner?"

"Of course we'll join me in cursing that idiot Horikita! He's just looking for trouble! Can't we just expel those morons from Class D?"

Tsk, Kushida is still the same old Kushida.

Although she previously said she would learn from Ichinose to protect the students in her class, it was still just a facade.

On the surface, she may appear to be working hard, but in reality, she probably secretly hopes that someone in her class will be expelled.

As long as her true identity remains hidden, she cannot be expelled from school, so she is not worried about the exam at all.

Instead of worrying about those idiots, it's more practical to worry about your own wallet.

Chapter 270 Look at the mess this has made!

Watching Kushida vent his emotions wildly, Kamio Tatsuya yawned, feeling somewhat bored.

"Alright, you don't need to blame Horikita too much. Even without her, I would have taken action against Class D."

Kamio Tatsuya's words brought Kushida to an abrupt halt, and Kushida looked at Kamio Tatsuya with a suspicious expression.

Are you speaking up for Horikita?

"Think what you want," Tatsuya Kamio said lazily. "Besides, you should know why I'm targeting Class D, right?"

At this point, Kushida's expression became even more distorted.

"Yeah, you really can't blame Horikita for this. It's that bitch Chabashira's fault! It's all that idiot's fault for looking for trouble!"

Once Kushida started talking, he went on and on for almost an hour.

By the way, aren't you thirsty?

"Alright, let's get down to business. What are you here for? You can't just be here to deliver a contract to me, can you?"

Upon hearing this, Kushida gradually calmed down.

"Let's cooperate."

"Cooperation?" Tatsuya Kamio's expression was strange. "How do you want to cooperate?"

"Although Class D has now completely surrendered to you, not everyone is willing to submit to you, even though they are bound by contractual obligations to obey your orders during the special exam."

But you should understand that this contract cannot bind everyone.

That's true. Although he doesn't dare to openly defy Tatsuya Kamio, when given tasks, Kamio can simply shirk his responsibilities.

Even if Kamio Tatsuya could see it, the other party could explain it away by saying that he was not capable enough.

Tatsuya Kamio cannot use this as an excuse to expel the other student.

However, to be fair, he didn't expect the students in Class D to obediently follow his orders from the beginning. He just wanted to use them as pawns, and it would be enough for them to play a basic role.

However, since Kushida has brought this up, it means she has some thoughts on this matter.

Tell me your plans.

"I'll help you guide Class D, and you'll pay me points."

Kushida stated her request without hesitation. Given her position in the class and her own abilities, it would be easy for her to persuade the students in Class D to do something.

In other words, she intends to be my representative in Class D.

Kamio Tatsuya glanced at Kushida, his index finger tapping incessantly on the table, making a thumping sound.

How many points do you want?

"30,000 points a month, what do you think?"

Thirty thousand?

Kamio Tatsuya suddenly found it somewhat amusing. It was the last day of February, and there were still a little over two years until graduation.

Even if Kamio Tatsuya paid Kushida's entire salary in one lump sum, it would only amount to 70 private points. This is incredibly cheap for hiring someone, especially someone like Kushida.

Then, Tatsuya Kamio shook his head.

"I'll give you 50,000. You'd better do a good job. Remember to let me know if anything happens in Class D."

Kamio Tatsuya is not a stingy person. If Kushida is used well, the benefits he can gain later will be substantial.

So he directly raised the reward to 50,000 points.

Hearing Tatsuya Kamio's words, Kushida breathed a sigh of relief. When he proposed the price, Kushida was a little nervous, afraid that he might think he was asking for too much.

As a result, Tatsuya Kamio actually gave him 50,000 personal points every month, which exceeded his expectations.

"Hiring will begin tomorrow, and the points will be transferred to you then."

Kushida nodded, then his expression became somewhat curious.

Aren't you afraid I'll take the money and not do any work?

Tatsuya Kamio glanced at her, then smiled faintly.
