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

In fact, he was already planning how to get Sakayanagi to take the bait.

"Let's talk about the stakes first. If I'm interested, I might as well discuss it with Longyuan."

“The bet…” Sakayanagi thought for a moment, then smiled and narrowed his eyes, “If I win, Kamio-kun will transfer to my class and I’ll be at his beck and call, how about that? Of course, I’ll pay for the transfer.”

Upon hearing this, Tatsuya Kamio gave a cold smile.

"Not so great, I'm quite satisfied with Class C as it is now. But since you've proposed such a high price, are you prepared to place a corresponding bet?"

Although Tatsuya Kamio had no intention of transferring classes, he was curious about what kind of bet Sakayanagi could offer to make him agree.

Chapter 212 The Fish Has Taken the Bait

The price?

As soon as Tatsuya Kamio brought this up, Sakayanagi immediately interrupted.

"Oh dear, I was just joking. I didn't expect Kamio to take it seriously."

Sakayanagi knew from the beginning that Kamio Tatsuya would never agree to a class transfer at this time.

Because Kamio Tatsuya transferred to Class C at this time. Although it seemed to be due to the bet, to outsiders, it looked like he had jumped from Class C to Class C.

If going to Class C was out of necessity, then going to Class C was a complete betrayal.

Once this is done, Tatsuya Kamio will appear unstable in the eyes of others, which will reduce their trust in him.

A person who repeats this pattern will never gain the trust of others.

Therefore, after Kamio Tatsuya was transferred to Class C, there was basically no possibility of him going to other classes.

That's how it is for now, at least, because he hasn't even helped Class C advance a single rank.

Sakayanagi couldn't possibly be unaware of these things, therefore this guy is just being disgusting.

Tatsuya Kamio glanced at her, then continued to focus his attention on the dining table.

"So you really aren't considering coming to class? Masumi-kun has been spacing out a lot in class lately, she must be thinking about Kamio-kun, right?"

"Wait, what are you talking about?"

Kamuro glared angrily at Sakayanagi.

Yes, I didn't deny it.

In other words, Kamuro really is thinking about me.

However, although Tatsuya Kamio was happy about this, he didn't show it on his face at all, and even looked at Kamuro with some anger.

"Masumi-chan."

"What are you doing!"

"You should pay attention in class, okay? I'll be really sad if you get expelled because you fail a test."

"I, I understand."

Kamuro immediately became embarrassed and resolved to study hard in class from now on.

"Okay, good to know." Tatsuya Kamio immediately smiled, his expression changing. "As a reward, you can have a piece of beef that I grilled myself, ah—"

Looking at the two people opposite him playing with the feeding ply, Sakayanagi felt like the veins on his forehead were about to pop out.

Next time I need to discuss something with Kamio, I shouldn't let Kamuro run errands, otherwise it will definitely turn out like this.

"By the way, are you still going to gamble or not?"

"Forget it, I can't afford the price that would be equivalent to Kamio transferring to another class."

Sakayanagi waved his hand, but he quickly realized something: could this be the situation that Kamio wanted to see?

He certainly wasn't confident of winning; in fact, he thought the probability of losing was probably quite high.

Otherwise, he would have agreed immediately. If he was sure he could win, what did it matter if the costs were unequal?

That's not important at all.

Given his personality, he certainly wouldn't let go of an opportunity to gain something for nothing.

Because after he said he would treat, he ordered a lot of the more expensive types of barbecue without hesitation.

So after I proposed this bet, he didn't actually want to agree. But since it was in front of Kamuro, if he backed down after I provoked him, he would lose face in Kamuro's presence.

That's why he laughed after I told him the stakes.

Because he was certain that I couldn't offer a price that matched his conditions.

Sakayanagi glanced at Tatsuya Kamio across from him. Kamio was still grilling meat and occasionally picking out pieces of cooked meat to put on the communal plate.

Kamuro would occasionally take out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat.

There was no way around it; although the weather had turned cooler, it was still very hot near the grill, and I had just eaten some chili peppers.

Looking at this despicable couple, Sakayanagi felt incredibly jealous.

At the same time, she felt a little sad. If she could, she would like to have a proper relationship with an ordinary person, get married, and have children.

Unfortunately, her body meant she couldn't have children naturally; at best, she could only have one offspring through in-vitro fertilization.

"Kamio-kun, I've been thinking about it, how about we make a small bet?"

Seeing the couple showing affection, Sakayanagi brought up the bet again.

"Oh? Have you decided on the stakes this time?"

Kamio Tatsuya immediately showed an expectant expression, which made Sakayanagi start to have wild thoughts again.

Wait a minute, he looks so expectant. Could it be that he's actually trying to lure me in? Could it be that he's absolutely certain of winning?

No, he did it on purpose!

He deliberately showed me that he was interested, hoping to discourage me!

I must say, Kamio, your acting is excellent, but unfortunately, you can't fool me!

"Instead of me proposing a bet, why don't you tell me what you want, Kamio-san?"

You've taken over the reins, Sakayanagi-san.

That was indeed a brilliant move, but that's exactly what I was waiting for you to say.

Kamio Tatsuya fell into deep thought, glancing at Sakayanagi across from him every now and then.

"If I win, you'll tell me your reasons for insisting on fighting Ayanokouji. If I lose, I can help you make sure you fight Ayanokouji. How about that?"

Kamio Tatsuya spoke these words with a hesitant expression; they were his true feelings.

But this appearance was quite different in Sakayanagi's eyes.

Want to know why I'm so obsessed with Ayanokoji?

He hesitated, perhaps thinking I wouldn't just tell him like that?

That's true, after all, it's my own secret.

No, that's not right.

"I remember you weren't really interested in this. What? Have you changed your mind now?" Sakayanagi squinted at Kamio Tatsuya, wanting to confirm further.

In reality, Tatsuya Kamio hesitated only because Kamuro was present; he was simply wondering whether or not to bring up Ayanokouji in front of Kamuro.

But thinking about it later, Kamuro must have known that Sakayanagi was interested in Ayanokouji, because it was Kamuro who relayed the message to Ayanokouji at the special education building.

"If you don't want to, then forget it. Since that's the case, let's cancel the bet."

He said it very naturally, as if he had expected his answer.

I see. My answer was exactly what he expected.

So, he really didn't want this bet to come to fruition.

Therefore, he was actually pessimistic about the betting, feeling that the probability of winning was less than 50%, which is why he dared not gamble!

How cunning you are, Kamio!

Unfortunately, I've already seen through your thoughts!

Whether it was the bet at the beginning about me transferring to another class, or the later bet about me telling you about my relationship with Ayanokouji, it was all about you.

All of this was done to dissuade me from making a bet with you.

Because you have absolutely no chance of beating me!

Furthermore, the students in Class C have been diligently attending study sessions this week, which indicates that Class C did not obtain the exam questions from Class D at all.

Otherwise, given Longyuan's performance on the deserted island, his choice would definitely have been to let Class C easily pass this exam, rather than starting to study almost two months in advance.

Therefore, the conclusion is obvious: Class C intends to take advantage of having one more person and defeat Class A in this special exam in a fair and square manner!

However, they were also aware of Class C's academic abilities, so although Class C had the courage to take on the challenge, they were not confident of victory!

Most importantly, if I lose this bet proposed by Tatsuya Kamio, I have to explain Ayanokouji's situation to him.

If I win, he will help arrange a showdown between me and Ayanokoji.

Regardless of winning or losing, he doesn't seem to have put in much effort.

It's confirmed, this guy just doesn't want to gamble with me because he's not confident of winning!

That being the case...

"Okay, let's make the bet work out. If I win, you'll help me arrange a showdown with Ayanokouji."

If I lose, I'll tell you why I'm so obsessed with dueling Ayanokoji.

Upon hearing Sakayanagi's reply, Kamio Tatsuya fell silent.

Seeing this, Sakayanagi's eyes filled with laughter.

I was right. My answer surprised him. He never expected that I would agree to the bet.

I won!

But what is the truth?

Kamio Tatsuya's silence was indeed a sign of doubt about life. Was this Sakayanagi really a genius?

I feel like she's not living up to her reputation. I only put on a little act, and she jumped right into the trap.

You're making me feel really bad.

The reason why I didn't rip off Sakayanagi and didn't agree to the initial bet was because it would be easy for Sakayanagi to see through my scheme.

Compared to the price of transferring to another class like Kamio Tatsuya, all Sakayanagi could offer was the class's 20 million private points.

Tatsuya Kamio believed he was worth the price.

So he initially wanted to trick Sakayanagi into revealing the price, but she dismissed it with a joke.

This made Tatsuya Kamio feel somewhat regretful.

However, upon further reflection, I realized that directly targeting Ban's 2000 million points would definitely alert Sakayanagi.

That's why Tatsuya Kamio steered the conversation towards Ayanokoji.

Because he was genuinely curious about Ayanokouji's true identity.

The greatest masterpiece, the White House, what exactly are these things?

After a moment of silence, Kamio Tatsuya looked at Sakayanagi with a serious expression. The most important thing now was not to laugh.

Otherwise, Sakayanagi would definitely notice the flaw, but he couldn't look too serious, or he would be overacting.

So just keep a serious expression on your face.

"In that case, shall we sign a contract?"

Heh, trying to scare me with a contract?

It’s useless!

“Of course.” Sakayanagi nodded immediately. “However, I don’t want the teachers to know about Ayanokouji, so I will find someone else to be a witness.”

"other people?"

Tatsuya Kamio frowned.

When signing the contract, the teacher acts as the school's impartial representative; if not a teacher, then it is another staff member of the school.
