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

After seeing Nanase step forward, Kamio Tatsuya no longer wanted to waste time in Class D. He could also take this opportunity to see Nanase's abilities.

If even this can't be handled, then Kamio Tatsu might have to reconsider his opinion of Nanase.

Next, we need to find Kushida and get her to start taking action.

After leaving Class D, Tatsuya Kamio went straight back to his dormitory. There weren't many places in this school where you could have a peaceful conversation, and the student dormitory was one of them.

Not long after, Kushida knocked on the door and came to Kamio Tatsuya's place.

"I didn't expect you to contact me first. Is there something you need me to do?"

As soon as he entered Tatsuya Kamio's room, Kushida reverted to his true nature and relaxed completely, no longer putting on a cute and obedient act.

"There's something I need your help with. I remember you wanted Ayanokouji to drop out of school for a while. You could go to Nagumo and ask him for help."

Tatsuya Kamio sat in his chair and began to talk about it with a smile.

After a long while, Kushida looked at Kamio Tatsuya with an incredulous expression.

"You mean you want me to ask President Nagumo to help me get Ayanokouji expelled from school?"

She was very surprised because during the voting exam a few months ago, Tatsuya Kamio had specifically ensured that Class D's protection points went to Ayanokoji.

So now they want Ayanokouji to drop out of school?

“That’s right.” Tatsuya Kamio smiled. “First-year students have a special exam. If you can get Ayanokouji to drop out of school, you can get 20 million personal points.”

Of course, Tatsuya Kamio wouldn't tell Kushida that Nagumo was also involved, in case the guy's acting wasn't good enough and he gave himself away.

"Twenty million?" Kushida's face was filled with shock. "You're not joking, are you?"

"Of course not, do you remember Baoquan from Class D, Grade 1?"

"Hmm, but wasn't he expelled from school?"

For some reason, Kushida suddenly brought up Hosen.

"That's right, but he wanted Ayanokouji to drop out of school, which is why he was expelled. I can't tell you the specific details."

In short, you can go to Nagumo and tell him that you got the information from the first-year students that you can get 20 million yen by getting Ayanokouji to drop out of school.

With your social skills, you should be able to handle this without arousing his suspicion, right?

Kushida nodded; she was good at gathering information.

"Are you suggesting that I use Ayanokouji's bounty as a starting point to ask Nagumo for help?"

"That's right. You should first confirm with him whether this is true, and it would be best to ask again whether you, as a second-year student, can participate."

If he tells you it's true and allows you to participate in the call, then ask for his help.

The key is to let him know that you want Ayanokouji to drop out of school, and this bounty is your reason.

Tatsuya Kamio explained it to her in detail.

However, Kushida frowned.

"But if that's the case, wouldn't Nagumo know that I'm not like what I seem on the surface?"

"What does it matter? We're not in the same grade, and the school forbids the spread of rumors. Even the student council president can't do anything about it."

So all you need to do is make sure that what you say isn't recorded by Nagumo.

Actually, it doesn't matter if Nagumo records it; all we need to do is collude with Horikita.

When the time comes, just say that Horikita asked me to go to President Nagumo to confirm the authenticity of this information, and as for why I acted as if I wanted to expel Ayanokouji from school.

That's because we wanted to infiltrate the enemy!

All of this was for the sake of the class; Kushida didn't want any of her classmates to drop out!

If Horikita and Ayanokoji, who are involved in the case, are willing to testify, Kushida's reputation will not only not decrease but will actually increase!

After all, the enemy is a first-year student. Kushida did all this for his classmates and for Class D!

Kushida began to frown and think, without giving Kamio Tatsuya an answer.

"What benefit would I get from doing this?"

Great, it seems she has agreed. Now it's time for negotiation.

"50 personal points, I'll transfer it to you immediately if you agree." Kamio Tatsuya was very generous in offering her a large sum of money.

As expected, this immediately stunned Kushida.

"Five or five hundred thousand?"

"This is just a deposit. If there are any further gains, I will pay you another 1.5 million yen." Kamio Tatsuya smiled.

"What happened next?" Kushida looked somewhat suspicious. "You don't really want Ayanokouji to drop out of school, do you?"

"You don't need to worry about that. Just contact me if anything happens." Kamio Tatsu didn't elaborate, only giving vague answers.

Kushida thought for a moment, then nodded.

"Okay, I promise you."

"Pleasant to work with."

Kamio Tatsuya took out his phone and transferred 50 personal points to Kushida, which was just a small amount of money for him.

To go fishing, you always have to spend some money on bait.

The next day during lunch break, Nanase approached Tatsuya Kamio alone and brought him good news.

The students in Class D of Year 1 are willing to sign a contract, agreeing to hand over half of their monthly personal points.

However, the maximum limit is no more than 30,000 per month.

Kamio Tatsu had no objection to this, after all, one shouldn't rush things. Moreover, Kamio Tatsu also had doubts about whether Class 1-D could raise the class points to over 600.

After the contract was signed, Kamio Tatsuya immediately arranged for second-year students and first-year students in Class D to form teams, and finally had the two students with C+ grades take the exam separately.

According to the school's standards, students with a C+ grade can score around 300 points. If that were doubled, it would be 600. Even if you deduct 5%, they could still easily score over 500 points.

With that, the team-up for the exam is temporarily settled, and all that's left to do is study hard.

"Here you go. Although each person will receive 5,000 less per month, the actual effect is about the same."

That's right. Class C only has 671 class points right now. After paying 50,000 personal points per person, they can't afford the remaining amount.

"Hehe, it seems your plan has run into trouble this time."

Long Yuan accepted the contract with a mischievous grin, his tone full of teasing.

"But at least we now know that class points can't be bought and sold at will, right?" Kamio Tatsuya ignored his teasing.

Since class points cannot be bought or sold, the pressure on that class is not so great.

At least it is not necessary to guarantee that the class score of the final class will be more than the sum of the scores of classes B, C, and D by the time of graduation.

Furthermore, because he has the contract for Class 1-D, Tatsuya Kamio has an advantage when facing Class 1-D.

Under Nagumo's policies, Tatsuya Kamio felt that this contract might come in handy in the future.

However, to be fair, Sakayanagi was really decisive this time, going straight down the same path as Kamio Tatsuya.

That evening, while Tatsuya Kamio was tutoring Kamuro in his room, he received a text message from Kushida, who said that he had told Nagumo about his plan to drop out of school and get 20 million points.

Furthermore, it was confirmed with Nagumo that there is indeed a hidden quest in the first year where you can earn 20 million points by expelling Ayanokouji.

However, when Kushida asked if she could get points if she expelled Ayanokouji, Nagumo chose to be vague.

The implication was that Kushida could find a first-year student as an ally and then work together to take down Ayanokouji.

This way, although they wouldn't get the full 20 million, they could guarantee Ayanokouji's chances of dropping out of school.

After reaching this conclusion, Kamio Tatsuya almost died laughing. Nagumo really never disappoints!

In addition, Nagumo also gave Kushida some information: the special exam for Ayanokouji was actually time-limited, which was before the start of the second semester.

It seems that Tsukishiro will leave in the second semester. It seems that even if Ayanokouji's father has the ability to make Sakayanagi Shigemori lose his position as chairman, it should only be temporary.

That should be the limit before the start of the second semester.

In other words, the other party will definitely make a big move before that. Based on last year's experience, it should be the uninhabited island test that will be held during the summer vacation.

It's customary to hold exams on uninhabited islands during summer vacation. Everyone will go off-campus then, as the outside world is more suitable for Moon City Operations than the school, which is under constant surveillance.

I imagine the guys from the fifth season will also make some moves by then.

So now we just have to sit back and wait for the fish to bite.

I hope you won't let me down.

Over the next few days, the first and second graders were immersed in intense review. Soon, Friday arrived, the day for the joint exam for first and second graders.

The exam consists of five subjects, each worth 100 points, and takes one day.

Although some students in the class felt nervous, they were not intimidated by it.

And just like that, the day of exams passed quickly.

Well, as for the exams, just as the board said, every subject had questions that were beyond the syllabus, and they were questions that ordinary high school students simply couldn't understand.

Even Tatsuya Kamio himself would probably only get around 450 points at most, as he couldn't handle questions that were beyond the syllabus.

After the weekend, Monday arrived. The atmosphere in the classroom was relatively relaxed, and no one thought they would fail the test.

Actually, the rules this time are quite favorable to the class, because the students with poor academic performance are basically teamed up by Longyuan in the first week.

In the first week, the punishment for failing in second grade was expulsion, so these guys were all studying hard.

By the second week, the remaining students in the class, even the worst ones, had a grade of C+, which was already considered average. They didn't need much pressure to keep up with their studies.

Not long after I arrived at the classroom, the teacher on the board came in. His expression was similar to before, neither good nor bad.

"The results of the special exam held last week will be announced at today's morning meeting. Although they will be displayed on the blackboard, they will also be displayed on your tablets so that you can see them in detail at your fingertips."

As the instructions on the board were executed, the students' scores appeared on the screen at the front of the classroom, showing the total score of each student and their partner.

I glanced at it and there were no students with scores below 501, which means no one will drop out of school because of this.

Tatsuya Kamio and his partner's total score was 775 points, his individual score was 455 points, and his partner's score was 320 points.

He meets the school's grading criteria because his partner's academic performance is rated D+.

"You can also view the scores of other classes on your tablets. Furthermore, your O data will be changed based on your written test scores."

While listening to what was being said on the board, Tatsuya Kamio used his tablet to look at the students in other classes.

In this special exam, the top scorer for a single second-year student was Sakayanagi Arisu, with a score of 498, which is truly outrageous.

Has this guy already completed university-level coursework?

After the exam, Tatsuya Kamio searched for the math questions from the exam, which in Japan are things that you would at least learn in your second year of university.

As it turns out, Sakayanagi was actually able to do it.

"Congratulations, everyone has passed the exam. Next is the ranking of the class average score."

Without giving the students much time to think, the teacher announced the average scores of the four second-grade classes on the board.

Second grade: 741 points, second place.

Class 2B: 726 points, fourth place.

Class 2-C: 743 points, first place.

Class 2D: 739 points, third place.

Except for Class B, whose scores were significantly lower, the scores of the other classes were not much different, with Class C taking first place by a narrow margin.

Unfortunately, Class B had accepted too many students with poor grades from the first year.

Even so, their results were not particularly bad.

However, because the score rewards for this exam were minimal, the class order remained unchanged.

Class C, Class D, and Class D won first, second, and third place respectively, and received 50, 30, and 20 class points as rewards.

The class points reached 721, 1131 and 107 respectively, while Class B remained unchanged at 857 points.

Hmm, Class C has over 700 points...

Well, in terms of points, I feel like I lost a little in this operation.

Then, Kamio Tatsuya looked at the first-year students' grades, which made him smile again.
