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

Making the other person retake the exam forces them to spend those points to take the exam.

Ayanokouji did all this not only to find himself a stable partner, but also to give Hosen a little punishment.

If everything remains the same...

Seeing Ayanokouji like this, Kamio Tatsuya reached out and wiped his face, unsure how to explain it to him.

Finally, he could only sigh and pat Ayanokouji on the shoulder.

Take care.

Ayanokoji was completely baffled by Tatsuya Kamio's words.

"What do you mean? Do you think Baoquan would deliberately get a zero on a test to force me to drop out of school?"

"No, that's not what I meant. Since you chose Baoquan as your partner, it means you're sure he won't self-destruct with you, right?"

“Of course, and Baoquan has also agreed to send students from his class to fully support us.” Ayanokouji continued to explain, “Although Class D may not get a ranking, no one should drop out, and for me, not being expelled is enough.”

That's why I said, good luck to you.

Kamio Tatsuya sighed, and then parted ways with Ayanokouji at the school entrance.

As morning classes began, students received text messages from the school announcing changes to the exam rules, leaving them all in shock.

Without prior knowledge, only one person smiled: Sakayanagi from Class C.

She suspected there might be more changes later, so last week she asked the students in Class C to avoid forming teams as much as possible. Of course, if they could team up with high-scoring students, they didn't have to be shy.

That's why she was so supportive of Tatsuya Kamio; she would immediately stand up for him at the slightest sign of trouble.

Although she didn't know what the rules would be changed to, she had a deep-seated belief that Kamio Tatsu could also make the school back down.

After all, she had been fighting Kamio Tatsuya for a year, and she considered herself to know Kamio Tatsuya quite well, so she had been waiting for this opportunity.

"Hehe, Kamio-kun really doesn't disappoint. Now the tables have turned. I wonder how the first-year students will react when they see this news."

What was the reaction?

Haha, it might not be so obvious in other classes, but Class D of Grade 1 is already in an uproar.

"What's going on, Teacher Sima! Why did the rules change like this? Doesn't this put us in great danger?"

“Exactly, if our failure punishment turns into expulsion, then…”

As he spoke, the student recalled the way the older students had treated him when they asked to team up with them last week.

Because of Baoquan's orders, students with high academic ability would request 500,000 private points when asking someone to partner with them.

Of course, no one would agree to that.

Later, they even went so far as to refuse to team up with second-year students, using this as leverage to force Tatsuya Kamio from Class 2 and Sudo from Class 2-D to forgive Hosen.

Unexpectedly, the second-year students forced the school to change the rules by staging a complete strike on the exam.

Although Sima Kedian told them that this exam was a test of their decision-making ability, almost no one believed him.

They felt that the second-year students' strike had made the school back down.

"This is outrageous! If this continues, I'm going to boycott the exam too! We're all boycotting the exam!"

"Yes, that's right, this is unfair, let's boycott the exam!"

Immediately, a group of students from Class D echoed this sentiment, and almost all of them shouted the slogan of boycotting the exam.

"Quiet!"

As soon as Sima Kedian began to speak from the podium, the class gradually quieted down.

“Anyone who wants to skip the exam, come and sign here now, and then you can pack your things and drop out of school,” Sima Kedian said coldly. “There are plenty of students outside who want to get into this school. It’s only been two weeks since the start of the semester, and there are plenty of people willing to transfer here.”

Smack's words plunged the students of Class 1-D into despair.

"why is it like this?"

"Who do you think you are? The second-year students have shown the school their strength and value after a year of fighting."

Compared to them, you have nothing, just words, and you think you can threaten the school? You're overestimating yourselves!

Sima Kedian's blunt words plunged Class 1-D into a deathly silence.

Instead of causing trouble here, you should think of a way to survive this exam!

With the departure of Smack, the students in Class D gradually regained their energy.

"It's all that bastard Baoquan's fault!"

"That's right, if it weren't for Baoquan, I would have found a partner by now!"

……

As a result, the students in Class D of Grade 1 seemed to have found an outlet, and they vented their dissatisfaction to their heart's content.

Well, it's only because Baoquan isn't here that these guys wouldn't dare utter a single word.

Seeing the D-class students in such a disgraceful state, Nanase Tsubasa was somewhat bewildered.

Originally, Baoquan and Class 2D had already made an agreement to start having the students form teams after school started today.

But in the current situation...

Will Class 2D still lend them a helping hand?

Meanwhile, Baoquan, who was outside the school, also received this message.

Upon seeing this message, Baoquan gripped his phone tightly, as if he wanted to crush it.

Yesterday, he got a peeler from Tianze, the very same one that Tianze had urged Ayanokouji to buy. She took it out while helping Ayanokouji wash the dishes and then handed it to Baoquan.

Baoquan, under the pretext of cooperation, summoned Ayanokouji and the others, then found a place without surveillance cameras and beat Sudo and Horikita half to death.

At the same time, he took out a knife, ready to stab his own foot hard, and then frame Ayanokouji.

Since the sword belongs to Ayanokouji, you can say something like: "Because I had a conflict with them, I beat up Horikita and Sudo."

To stop himself, Ayanokouji took out the paring knife he had bought and stabbed himself.

Because there is no surveillance footage, and both sides have witnesses, and most importantly, the knife was indeed bought by Ayanokouji, only a simple presumption of guilt can be made. Ayanokouji will definitely be expelled from school.

In this way, Baoquan's goal was achieved.

As a result, that madman Ayanokouji actually caught the knife he was about to stab with his bare hand, causing a penetrating wound to Ayanokouji's hand.

As a result, that guy was able to grip his fist tightly, preventing him from pulling the knife away.

Baoquan also didn't expect that, besides people like Kamio Tatsuya, there would be someone like Ayanokouji in the second year.

No wonder, no wonder the student council president issued a hidden mission to make them both drop out of school.

Having witnessed the skills of Tatsuya Kamio and Ayanokoji, Hosen still doesn't want to drop out of school.

Therefore, he accepted Ayanokouji's invitation to team up and promised to have the students from Class 1-D and Class 2-D team up to get through the exam together.

Although he immediately became teammates with Ayanokouji.

However, since there were still many students left and it was getting late, he made an agreement with Ayanokouji and the others that Nanase would take full charge and discuss things slowly with Horikita that day.

The result was unexpected!

I received such a big surprise first thing this morning!

The situation, which was originally favorable to the first graders, was completely reversed. Baoquan felt cold all over and looked in the direction of the school. He seemed to see Kamio Tatsuya with a faint, mocking smile in front of him.

At almost the same time, in Class 2-D, when Ayanokouji saw this message, he fell silent, and then suddenly understood what Tatsuya Kamio meant by what he had said earlier.

Faced with the same threat from lower-grade students, Tatsuya Kamio and Ayanokouji chose completely different paths on two separate days.

Tatsuya Kamio chose to take a holistic approach, manipulating his opponents and using his power to directly change the rules to his advantage.

Ayanokouji, on the other hand, chose a different approach: he started with individuals, finding students who did not belong to the White Room and were unwilling to drop out of school with him and perish together, and forming a team with them.

Therefore, Tatsuya Kamio forced the school to change the exam rules through his schemes, while Ayanokoji chose Kazutomi Hosen as his exam partner.

As for why Baoquan was chosen, it's because this guy's actions are far too high-profile. If it were Yuecheng, he would probably be instructed to avoid doing anything that would attract the school's attention.

Moreover, because he was stabbed by Baoquan, even if Baoquan deliberately let him off the hook, Ayanokouji was still stabbed.

Tsukishiro cannot control everything at the school, so Ayanokouji is not afraid that Tsukishiro will immediately force him to drop out. This is Ayanokouji's thinking.

I just didn't expect...

Kamio Tatsuya's seemingly absurd protest was actually passed, and according to the school's changed rules, in the following week, the failure penalties for first-year and second-year students were not only equalized.

They even reversed the punishment, putting the second-year students in a dominant position.

In the past week, nearly half of the students have completed team formation. These students' overall academic ability is sufficient to guarantee a passing grade; otherwise, they would not have been able to successfully form teams under those circumstances.

And then the following week...

Horikita put down his phone, his expression turning serious.

She worked hard for a whole week, but now it seems that all her efforts were in vain.

Amazing!

She clenched her fists, feeling inwardly impressed by Tatsuya Kamio; at least she had never considered that such a protest could pass.

She never even imagined that she could get the school to change the exam rules.

Although the school came up with a seemingly reasonable excuse, she could still see through the underlying reasons.

The two had different perspectives from the beginning, and judging from the current results, Horikita has probably only met the minimum requirements for passing the exam.

However, this was accomplished with the help of Ayanokoji.

However, Tatsuya Kamio turned the tide and satisfied the demands of the second-year students to the greatest extent possible.

One is the upper limit, and the other is the lower limit.

How can we even compete like this? Horikita felt frustrated.

But she quickly comforted herself, thinking, "I already knew about this, so it's okay."

Then, she looked at Ayanokouji beside her.

"Ayanokouji, do you think we should continue negotiating with Class 1-D?"

Upon hearing Horikita's words, Ayanokouji gave him an expression as if he were looking at an idiot.

"Do you think Kamio will still allow the students of Class D to form teams freely after causing such a big incident?"

Horikita glared at Ayanokouji with embarrassment and annoyance, then turned her head away and stopped talking.

Yeah, how could Kamio possibly pass up such a good opportunity to take down the first-year students?

Chapter 308 As expected of Class D

Sure enough, shortly after receiving this message, all the students in Class D received a mass text message from Tatsuya Kamio.

The message was simple: they were asked not to form teams for the time being.

Class 2D had no objection to this, since they wouldn't be expelled even if things continued like this until the end.

As for the fact that there will be no points for the next three months...

Hehe, judging from the class points of Class 2D, even if they don't get any points in the next three months, they will only lose a little over 10,000 personal points.

After all, half of the private points they earned had to be handed over to Tatsuya Kamio to pay off his debts.

The students in Class D of the first year, who had previously been complacent and sitting comfortably, were now in complete disarray, especially those in Class D of the first year whose academic abilities were somewhat nuanced.

Although Baoquan told them not to panic, no one cared about him at this point. In the eyes of the students in Class D, Baoquan was in dire straits himself!

Moreover, Baoquan was unable to enter the school, causing his control over the students in Class D to plummet.

For the entire morning, these people frantically sent team-up requests to second-year high school students like headless flies, but without exception, all of them were rejected.

While those students with high academic abilities are not worried about being expelled, they inevitably feel a sense of shared sorrow when they see the state of their classmates.

"Everyone, don't panic. If things get chaotic now, it will be even more difficult to handle later."

In the end, it was Nanase who stepped forward to comfort the students.

However, the last person who should stand up at this time is someone like Nanase who has good grades.

Nanase's academic level is B, which means she can normally score around 400 points. Even if she partners with a student with an academic level of E, she can still score over 550.

Even if 5% is deducted, you won't be expelled.
