In practice, I originally just wanted to be a slacker.

"If there's still hope for Class D, do you think Kamio, as a student of Class D, would sell this information to us?"

Of course not. If there's any hope for Class D, then Tatsuya Kamio would never sell this information to Class A so easily.

However, after observing for the past few days, Kamio Tatsuya has given up hope. In a class of forty students, less than ten are actually paying attention in class.

Moreover, Tatsuya Kamio felt that even if he announced the matter of the behavioral ethics exam, he would most likely be regarded as crazy.

And once this news is announced in May, they will definitely complain again about why Tatsuya Kamio didn't try harder to persuade them back then.

To avoid this disgusting situation, Tatsuya Kamio decided to say nothing from the beginning.

Since none of you noticed, isn't it normal that I didn't notice either?

"There's another question: how do you know that the behavioral ethics test he mentioned is real?"

Upon hearing this, Arisu Sakayanagi smiled faintly: "Of course I know it's true."

The day after the transaction was completed, Sakayanagi Arisu and Katsuragi Kohei held a meeting with all the students in Class A to announce the information and collect three million private points.

"Dear students, please do what a student should do within this month. If you know that there is such an exam and still have points deducted, that would be really unacceptable."

Even knowing this information, Sakayanagi Arisu and Katsuragi Kohei did not intend to use it to induce students in other classes to make mistakes.

Because doing so is actually risky.

One careless move could expose the true purpose, thereby leaking intelligence and resulting in a loss instead of a gain.

Because of the emergence of Kamio Tatsuya, an outlier in Class D, Katsuragi Kohei is worried that other classes might have someone like Kamio Tatsuya who can see through the rules.

They were aware of the situation in Class B and Class C. If things continued this way, even Class B, whose overall quality was second only to Class A, would probably have more than 200 class points deducted.

Therefore, Class A doesn't need to do anything extra. They just need to do their job well and quietly wait for next month to arrive.

Chapter Seventeen: The Deal is Made

At lunchtime, Tatsuya Kamio received 300 million private points from Kohei Katsuragi.

It was supposed to be before school ended on Friday, but it's only Thursday noon today. Class A's efficiency is indeed very high, and Kamio Tatsuya is very satisfied.

Looking at the group of guys in Class D, Tatsuya Kamio's lips twitched.

Looking at his seven-digit balance starting with 3, Tatsuya Kamio's mood instantly brightened.

Now, barring any unforeseen circumstances, I'll have enough for three years' living expenses.

Yes, thank you for the gift, Nan Yunya.

Although I don't like the atmosphere that guy brings, he might actually be a good person... Could it be that I misjudged him this time?

However, he quickly dismissed this idea.

It's clear from the school's first month of conduct and ethics exams that this isn't a respectable school.

Well, I mean its exam format is definitely unconventional.

Therefore, an honest person is definitely not capable of handling exams perfectly, and the fact that Nagumo was able to lead Class B to Class A already shows that he is not a simple person.

It would be too hasty to make a judgment about someone based on only a few of their actions.

Therefore, Tatsuya Kamio decided to hold off on his evaluation of the other party for now.

While he was thinking about this, Hirata Yosuke, the most popular man in Class D, stood up from his seat and said these words to the rest of the class.

"Um—I'm thinking of going to the student cafeteria next, anyone want to come with me?"

Immediately, a group of girls surrounded them; quite a few people signed up.

"I me me!"

"I want to go too!"

Finally, Hirata Yosuke, the most popular boy, was dragged away from the classroom, leaving behind a group of boys looking on with envy.

After Hirata Yosuke left, Kamio Tatsuya stood up and prepared to go to the cafeteria to find something to eat.

He currently holds over 3.1 million personal points, making him arguably the wealthiest student in his class.

The confidence that came with those three million yen made Tatsuya Kamio feel full of power even when he stood up from his seat.

However, as he was about to leave the classroom, he noticed that Horikita Suzune, to his left, took a small package out of her desk drawer.

Then, after untying it, the contents were revealed.

It's a homemade bento box!

Although the dishes looked very simple, the presentation was exquisite, and it was clear that they were made with care.

Horikita Suzune, who was about to eat, seemed to notice Kamio Tatsuya's gaze, so she turned her head and met Kamio Tatsuya's eyes.

"What are you looking at?"

"I was looking at your bento box. I didn't know you could cook."

Are you kidding me?

Kamio Tatsuya's surprised voice made Horikita Suzune's voice lower, and her gaze toward Kamio Tatsuya became unfriendly.

No, I just wanted to play tricks on you, like you were Japanese.

You are Japanese, by the way.

"Hehe." Kamio Tatsuya chuckled, then looked at Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, who was standing near Horikita Suzune, "Ayanokouji-kun, want to go eat together?"

Kamio Tatsuya made a casual invitation, but Ayanokoji Kiyotaka immediately accepted.

"That's great! Someone invited you to dinner. Maybe you can make some friends along the way."

As he passed by Horikita Suzune, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka overheard a comment that made him feel somewhat embarrassed.

As for Kamio Tatsuya, he had already reached the door and naturally did not hear what Horikita Suzune said, otherwise he would have definitely come back and said a few more sarcastic things to her.

But now there's a new problem.

I just casually invited Kiyotaka Ayanokouji to have dinner with me, but now the two of us are walking to the cafeteria in complete silence.

The scene was very embarrassing.

"Speaking of which, why did Ayanokouji choose to apply to this school? Was it because of its 100% college admission and employment rate?"

Since we had nothing to talk about, we could only chat casually.

"Hmm, I guess so. Where's Kamio-kun?"

"I only liked the school's free room and board; I'm not really looking forward to anything else."

The two chatted casually for a while and soon arrived at the cafeteria.

At the free meal window on the first floor of the cafeteria, Tatsuya Kamio saw the third-year senior from whom he had extracted information again.

It seems the other person is really short-sighted, otherwise they wouldn't have repeatedly gone to eat that free meal with such poor reviews.

But how should I put this?

Kamio Tatsuya thought it was alright. Although there was no meat, at least the chef didn't mess around while cooking. At most, the seasoning was a bit bland, which brought out the original flavor of the mountain vegetables.

If you get used to it, it's really not that bad.

"You seem quite interested in the free package, or do you know someone who does?"

Kiyotaka Ayanokoji noticed Tatsuya Kamio's gaze and spoke up with some curiosity.

"Well, I guess so. After all, it's free, which makes me want to give it a try."

Tatsuya Kamio's answer wasn't exactly a lie, because he genuinely tried it out of curiosity.

"Shall we give it a try?"

Ayanokouji asked the question.

Kamio Tatsuya thought for a moment, then began to urge Ayanokouji: "Why don't you try it first? Help me scout the way?"

Kiyotaka Ayanokoji was speechless, suddenly unsure how to respond.

In fact, Tatsuya Kamio was doing it for Ayanokouji's own good, because most of the students in Class D would end up relying on government assistance.

It's good for him to get used to it beforehand.

Tatsuya Kamio tried hard to convince himself.

After thinking for a while, Kiyotaka Ayanokouji actually nodded very seriously and then walked towards the window for the free meal.

Wow, they actually went.

A few minutes later, the two met in a deserted corner of the cafeteria.

Tatsuya Kamio chose the fried chicken cutlet set meal, which cost only 350 points, while Kiyotaka Ayanokoji opted for the mountain vegetable set meal, which was free.

"what about the taste?"

After Ayanokoji Kiyotaka took his first bite, Kamio Tatsuya couldn't wait to ask him questions.

He thought the other party would give him a harsh critique, but Ayanokouji Kiyotaka only frowned slightly before swallowing his food.

"It really doesn't taste very good."

Goodness, your reaction is really bland.

Not interesting.

Kamio Tatsuya shook his head inwardly, then picked up his chopsticks and started eating his fried chicken cutlet.

Well, it’s so sweet!

As for Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, his heart skipped a beat. Was my reaction just now wrong?

Even though everyone eating the mountain vegetable set meal had the same reaction as me.

Kiyotaka Ayanokoji couldn't understand where things had gone wrong.

If Kamio Tatsuya could hear his thoughts, he would definitely tell him: "They're all used to eating this, but this is your first time. You should act even more disgusted, buddy."

Chapter 18 Let's duel, you bastard!

A week had passed, and Tatsuya Kamio felt that Class D's class points were almost deducted.

This week has passed, and the students in Class D still don't seem to have grasped the nature of the behavior and ethics exam. Most of them are still doing their own thing and letting themselves run wild.

For example, right now, Tatsuya Kamio had just arrived at the back door of the classroom when he overheard a very exciting topic.

A group of boys, led by Ike Kanji, were discussing which girl in their class was the cutest.

To be honest, Tatsuya Kamio is also very interested in this topic.

It's perfectly normal for teenage boys to be interested in this; there's nothing shameful about it.

But shouldn't you guys at least be mindful of the impact? The girls are looking over here!

However, they seemed so engrossed in their own world that they were completely oblivious.

A boy nicknamed "Doctor," whose real name is Hideo Sotomura, took out his laptop, which he had bought with 50,000 points, and placed it on his desk.

Then a spreadsheet was opened, which listed the names of all the girls in the class.

At that moment, Ike noticed Tatsuya Kamio and called out to him, "Hey, Kamio."

I really hope you don't call me at this time; people will hold a grudge.

"What's wrong?"

"Actually, we're thinking of betting on the size of a girl's breasts right now."

Down there, it's so damn down there.

It's not that what they did was inherently wrong.

It's understandable that teenage boys are interested in this kind of thing; after all, reproduction is one of the basic human survival instincts. I won't blame you for discussing this.

But isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to say this so openly and honestly in the classroom?

What makes humans human is that they follow rules, observe etiquette, and value their reputation.

You can say whatever you want behind someone's back, that's your freedom, and the person involved won't know anyway. But to announce it so openly in front of a girl in class, are you crazy?

Didn't you want to find a girlfriend in your class?
