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

"Then I'll post the transfer records I gave you and let the students in Class D see them. I wonder what they'll think then?"

They must be thinking: Why would Kushida receive a transfer from Kamio? Are they in cahoots?

If this happens, Kushida's image in Class D will be completely ruined.

This is something Kushida absolutely does not want to see.

After receiving the hint, Kushida's expression stiffened, as if he had been tricked into getting on a pirate ship.

Oh well, he already knew about me anyway, so one more piece of evidence won't make a difference.

After seeing Kushida off, Kamio Tatsuya yawned, chatted with Kamuro and Shiina for a while to build rapport, and then went to sleep.

The next day, Tuesday, March 1st, after Kamio Tatsuya woke up, he sent Kushida 50,000 personal points as his monthly payment.

After that, all you need to do is take the contract you got from Kushida yesterday to the official innkeeper.

In this way, Class D is at least ostensibly in the hands of Tatsuya Kamio, giving him an extra means to deal with Class D and Class Benz in the subsequent exams.

After making preparations, Kamio Tatsuya went to the school and met Ichinose Honami from the class in the lobby on the first floor.

Good morning, Ichinose. You're so late today.

That's right, now is the time to scout out the location.

"I had some trouble sleeping last night, so I woke up a little late."

Ichinose's expression seemed somewhat forced and disappointed.

"What happened?"

Ichinose hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Kamio, tell me, what exactly is the purpose of this school exam?"

"for what……"

Kamio Tatsuya was somewhat confused. Could it be that Ichinose had noticed something, that this exam was just a disgusting tactic by the new acting chairman?

"We finally managed to accumulate 2000 million private points, which gave us a chance to ask our classmates for help."

If it were other special exams, and if someone dropped out because of our lack of ability, that would be fine.

But to let such a childish exam consume all your energy—don't you find that ridiculous? This exam was simply unreasonable.

That's true. If a student drops out of school because they didn't work hard enough, Ichinose would definitely feel that the money spent on the aid points was well worth it.

However, this simple class-wide vote was indeed somewhat ridiculous.

It makes it seem like the school is having financial problems.

Now that you mention it, Yuecheng's methods seem really low.

"Well, that makes some sense, but didn't this exam also give out protection points? I think the value is about the same."

Upon hearing this, Ichinose gave a wry smile.

"Yes, I understand, but I'm still a little worried. However, unlike private points, protection points can't cover everyone."

I see, that's what Ichinose was worried about.

Then I'm out of ideas.

but……

"Ichinose, although this exam is very unreasonable, I don't think it's a joke."

Tatsuya Kamio's expression was very serious.

"You might think this exam is unreasonable, but similar situations are bound to happen after you enter the workforce."

For example, a colleague you've worked with for many years might one day be fired by the company. Although we haven't experienced something like that ourselves, I think you understand.

Upon hearing this, Ichinose also gave a wry smile.

"I know, and that's why I couldn't sleep last night. I'm sorry, I just can't accept it."

This time we can indeed avoid expulsion through points, but what about next time? That's what I'm worried about.

"I know, so I don't blame you. I just hope you can face reality soon."

Dog Moon City, you came up with this lousy exam on a whim, and I'm still making excuses for you? That's fucking ridiculous!

The two walked and walked until they arrived at the school.

"Sorry to have you listen to my complaints."

Ichinose looked apologetic.

"It's okay. You can continue to tell me if you have any troubles in the future. Maybe I can solve them."

Upon hearing this, Ichinose's smile returned.

After parting ways with Ichinose, Kamio Tatsuya did not go directly to the classroom, but went to the teachers' office and handed the signed contract to the board.

Upon seeing the contract, the person on the board showed undisguised admiration for Tatsuya Kamio.

"Well done, I'll hand this in."

"sorry to bother you."

Upon arriving at the classroom, the students had gathered into small groups, seemingly still discussing who should be expelled from the class.

Thanks to this, the classroom is not as noisy as usual, which is a good sign.

Back in his seat, Tatsuya Kamio glanced at Tokito, who was sitting alone looking at his phone.

Isn't this guy planning to do something?

Is he trying to divert everyone's attention and escape this predicament?

Kamio Tatsuya shifted his attention from Tokito to his phone, where he was composing a text message to Ayanokoji to meet him after school.

Meanwhile, Ayanokouji, who received the text message, didn't know what Kamio Tatsuya's purpose was, but he still agreed.

Although he suspected that Tsukishiro's main target was him, that guy was, after all, someone sent by Ayanokouji's father, and on the surface, he was targeting Ayanokouji.

So how can we deal with this old man without dragging Ayanokouji into it?

For Ayanokouji, the last thing he wants to happen right now is to drop out of school.

If you just let Ayanokouji hear the recording you overheard in the office, he will naturally become your ally.

At 5:30 p.m., Ayanokoji found Tatsuya Kamio, whom she was to meet, in a private room at a restaurant in the shopping mall.

"They actually chose such a high-class place. I don't have the money to eat here."

Upon meeting, Ayanokouji immediately began complaining about his financial situation.

Currently, Class D only has 137 class points. All points accumulated before today have been used to help students.

The students are left with only 13700 personal points that were just distributed today, half of which must be handed over to Tatsuya Kamio to pay off his debts.

So you only have 6850 points left, which is pretty poor.

The average cost per person at this restaurant is around 5000 points, so Ayanokoji really can't afford it.

"It's my treat today, so order whatever you like, don't be shy."

Ayanokouji glanced at Tatsuya Kamio, and then suddenly a bad memory came flooding back.

Horikita once forced him to do chores under the guise of inviting him to dinner, so he is somewhat sensitive about being invited to meals by others.

However, this time the other party wasn't Horikita, so everything should be fine.

So, Ayanokouji picked up the menu and ordered what she wanted to eat.

"You didn't come out to me for no reason, did you?"

"There is indeed something going on." Tatsuya Kamio nodded. "Did you know that the school's chairman of the board has changed?"

The chairman has been replaced?

Ayanokouji's heart skipped a beat. The former chairman of the board was Sakayanagi's father, and it was the other party who agreed to his enrollment, which could be said to have helped him a lot.

The change of personnel is hardly good news.

But what did Kamio mean by bringing this up?

Ayanokouji didn't understand.

"The new acting chairman is called Yuecheng. I met with him once before. Does this name ring a bell?"

Moon City?

Ayanokouji shook his head.

I don't know... Tatsuya Kamio felt it was a pity; it seems he has to hear this recording.

"In that case, let's listen to something first."

Tatsuya Kamio took out his phone and played the recording he had saved earlier.

After listening, Ayanokouji remained expressionless, but in his heart, he already knew the answer: this person named Tsukishiro…

It must have been his father who sent him to expel him from school, but what he couldn't understand was why Tatsuya Kamio's name was on Tsukishiro's expulsion list.

After the recording finished playing, Tatsuya Kamio put away his phone and looked at Ayanokoji.

Do you have any clues now?

Ayanokouji lowered his head and thought for a while before deciding to test how much Kamio Tatsuya actually knew.

"I think that guy named Yuecheng is most likely after me."

“I think so too.” Tatsuya Kamio continued, following Ayanokouji’s words. “If I’m not mistaken, the other party was probably sent by your father.”

Kamio Tatsuya's words silenced Ayanokoji.

Very well, now there's probably no need to test the waters, just ask directly.

How much do you know about me?

"Roughly," Tatsuya Kamio said calmly. "What do you think of Tsukishiro?"

“I’m just a student,” Ayanokouji emphasized, then countered with a question, “But what about you? What do you think?”

In fact, Ayanokouji was a little worried at this moment, because from his perspective, Tsukishiro was undoubtedly the person his father sent to expel him from school.

Although he didn't know why the other party would bring up Tatsuya Kamio's name, he assumed that the other party's mission was to get him to drop out of school.

As for getting Tatsuya Kamio to drop out of school, that's probably just a smokescreen.

So as long as I drop out of school, the other party will leave.

He was worried that Tatsuya Kamio would join forces with the other party to target him after finding out about this, so he just spoke up to test the waters.

As a result, Tatsuya Kamio directly pointed out the truth, and now it was no use for him to pretend to be stupid.

So the only thing we can do now is to win over Tatsuya Kamio and make him an ally, so that he won't join forces with that guy named Tsukishiro to deal with us.

And that's where things get interesting.

Moon City's true purpose is currently unknown.

Kamio Tatsuya thought that the other party was really targeting him, so he wanted to get Ayanokoji to fight against that guy and share the risk.

Ayanokoji also believed that the other party was targeting him and wanted to win over Tatsuya Kamio as an ally.

The two were surprisingly in agreement, but neither of them could reveal their true thoughts.

Look at the mess this has made!

Chapter 271 The Incumbent's Plan!

A brief silence fell over the private room. The two people facing each other each harbored their own secrets, both wanting to share the risks from Moon City with the other.

dong dong dong.

Just then, the waiter's two dishes seemed to be ready, so he knocked on the door.

The knocking temporarily interrupted their train of thought.

"Please enjoy."

Watching the departing waiter and the dinner on the table, Tatsuya Kamio suddenly smiled.

"Let's eat first, no matter what."
