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

"I understand, thank you, Kamio-kun."

"I haven't done anything to be thanked for, but I hope this helps."

"Hmm, I think I know what to do."

Sakura looked grateful, then suddenly became shy.

"Um, Kamio-kun, are you dating Kamuro-kun?"

"Why are you suddenly asking about this?" Tatsuya Kamio smiled. "There is such a thing."

"Then, what about Shiina-kun?"

When this was mentioned, Tatsuya Kamio was a little embarrassed, but he still admitted it directly.

"It's also a relationship."

"Do you date two people at the same time?"

Kamio Tatsuya paused for a moment, then nodded, followed by a carefree smile.

“That’s right, and both Masumi and Hiyori know about it.”

Then, Sakura stared wide-eyed at Tatsuya Kamio, her face filled with disbelief.

"Well, say whatever you want, because I am a two-timing scumbag, but even so, I will not give up on either of them."

Tatsuya Kamio's expression was very firm, and there was even a second half of his sentence left unsaid: "There might be even more in the future."

Sakura was at a loss for words after her frank admission of her scumbag behavior. She knew that Kamio Tatsu hadn't lied to her either.

So she just sat there, lost in thought, contemplating something.

If I were to ask Kamio-kun to date me now, would he agree?

No, no, no, Kamuro and Shiina are both so outstanding, Kamio might not even be interested in me, right?

Moreover, even if Kamio-kun agrees, will Kamuro-kun and Shiina-kun agree?

And with three girls dating at the same time, Kamio definitely won't be able to get married, right? Japan is a monogamous country.

No, no, no, Kamio is so amazing, he'll definitely find a way to solve it.

But even if Kamio's problem is solved, his father probably won't agree, right?

Sakura didn't know how she left Kamio Tatsuya's room, nor how she got back to her own room.

Because in the end, she only had one thought in her mind.

If we don't act now, it will be too late!

Kamio Tatsuya found it amusing to watch Sakura leave in a daze.

He certainly had a very good impression of Sakura.

Both her personality and appearance were exactly what he wanted. She was unassuming and didn't compete for anything; no one was more suitable to join his harem than her.

But since we haven't even settled things with Ichinose yet, let's put the Sakura matter on hold for now.

Even if I don't succeed in the end, it doesn't matter, there are plenty of good girls in the world anyway.

Not long after Sakura left, Kamio Tatsuya received a message.

Kamio-kun, I'd like to visit you. Is now a convenient time?

The sender was Ichinose. I hadn't seen Kamio Tatsu since the previous exams ended, and I didn't expect her to contact me at this time.

Yes, I'm alone in my room, I can come over anytime.

Not long after the text message was sent, the knocking on the door started again.

Meanwhile, Kamio Tatsuya had already washed the teacup that Sakura had used and boiled a new kettle of water. Ichinose was also a fan of black tea.

"Good afternoon, Ichinose, please come in."

"excuse me."

Upon entering the room, Ichinose sat down in the spot where Sakura had been sitting.

"What would you like to drink? Black tea?"

"Well, please."

Hmm, I feel like I've seen this scene somewhere before.

"Is there anything bothering you?"

While serving the black tea, he casually asked.

"Huh? Is it that obvious?"

"I guess so, she looks worried."

Upon hearing Tatsuya Kamio's assessment, Ichinose immediately gave an awkward smile.

"Haha, that's true."

There was a brief silence before Ichinose spoke again.

"Kamio-kun, do you think I'm unsuitable to be a leader?"

Upon hearing Ichinose's words, Kamio Tatsu didn't say anything, but simply picked up his black tea, took a sip, and mentally ranted.

Do you have no idea whether you're suited to be a leader or not? Haven't you realized this in the past year?

In a typical school, Ichinose would definitely be the most popular person in her class, grade, or even the entire school.

However, while the kind-hearted Ichinose is popular at this school, popularity does not necessarily mean she will become an excellent leader.

Chapter 292 Let's do this together!

Having received no reply, Ichinose lowered her head, seemingly understanding what Kamio Tatsuya meant.

She, Ichinose, is indeed not suited to be a leader.

However, on the other hand, if it's about class rivalry and becoming the class leader, then Ichinose is indeed not suitable.

However, if it's just about protecting the classmates and ensuring everyone graduates together, then no one is more suitable than Ichinose.

Did someone in the class say something?

Hearing this, Ichinose looked somewhat bewildered.

"Why do I say that? Everyone in the class is very nice."

"Then why are you worried?" Tatsuya Kamio countered. "Ichinose, you haven't forgotten, have you? On the deserted island, you said there were things more important than getting promoted."

Tatsuya Kamio's question stunned Ichinose.

Yes, all I wanted to do at first was graduate from this school with my classmates, but when exactly did it all change...?

When exactly did I develop the ambition to graduate from class?

Ichinose was immediately terrified.

Seeing Ichinose's expression, Kamio Tatsu knew that his words had worked.

Ichinose's goal was simply to lead his class to graduation, but since being promoted to the next class after the forest exam, his students seem to have lost sight of themselves.

Even Ichinose was blinded by the joy of being promoted, which in turn fostered ambition.

This is certainly not a good thing.

Because Ichinose's class cannot maintain its status as the class forever.

If she persists in this, she may lose her companion in future exams and then regret it deeply.

To avoid this situation, Tatsuya Kamio chose to immediately wake her up.

It took Ichinose a long time to calm herself down.

"I'm sorry, Kamio, I've lost sight of myself."

"You haven't given up the fight, have you?"

Kamio Tatsuya looked at him strangely. "If you give up the fight, wouldn't it be too boring for our grade?"

If that's the case, the situation would be that Tatsuya Kamio and Ayanokouji team up to beat up Sakayanagi, while Ichinose watches from the sidelines, cheering them on.

"Because I just can't think of a way to win, Kamio-kun, you're really amazing."

When Ichinose said those words, his expression was incredibly varied, ranging from a wry smile to admiration, and then his tone gradually turned bitter and helpless.

Ahem, don't think I'll go easy on you just because you're praising me like that.

In fact, Tatsuya Kamio never intended to show mercy. What good would that do?

So what if he likes Ichinose? He's not love-struck.

One Ichinose is far less significant than the entire Class C.

Moreover, after this year's experience, Kamio Tatsuya finally understood.

Apart from the initial deserted island exam, which gave each class the opportunity to earn class points, all other special exams were basically transfers of class points between grades.

Despite the fact that Tatsuya Kamio led Class C to 600 class points in the final exam, 400 of those points were stolen from other classes.

The school only provided 200 points; they're incredibly stingy.

The situation is pretty much the same for other exams.

Furthermore, during the sports festival, the total points of classes across grades even decreased.

Therefore, for the benefit of Class C, Tatsuya Kamio will inevitably not show mercy, unless the school will give another exam similar to the first-year deserted island exam, which is purely for earning points.

If such an exam were to actually take place, Kamio Tatsuya would do anything, even at great cost, to persuade Sakayanagi and Ichinose to hold an internal meeting.

Then they conspired to fleece the school!

I don't know if Yuecheng will give him this chance. I hope he can be kind.

However, even if he earns a lot of class points, what good are they? Kamio Tatsu only wants class points in order to quickly accumulate personal points.

However, the school only needs a special exam to expel students to quickly reclaim the private points held by Tatsuya Kamio and his friends.

Well, in the end, the school, being the house, still wins.

However, if that's the case, schools could simply hold more exams that allow students to earn a lot of points, since it's very easy for them to recoup those points.

After all, students generally wouldn't stand by and watch their classmates die without offering help.

so……

Are there any restrictions?

Kamio Tatsuya seemed to be deep in thought.

"Ichinose, instead of thinking about whether you are suitable to be a leader, you should think more about how to protect your classmates."

According to my intelligence, 17 students dropped out of school in the entire third year, including some students in the third-grade class.

To solve Ichinose's current troubles, Tatsuya Kamio decides to find her something to do so that she won't feel troubled when she's busy.

And isn't this exactly what Ichinose wanted?

Of course, this is just a suggestion; Kamio Tatsuya doesn't care how Ichinose actually does it.

To put it bluntly, when survival is difficult, no one will still dream of graduating from class; class simply means that life was too good before.

Sure enough, Ichinose immediately tensed up upon hearing this.

"I know what to do, thank you, Kamio-kun."

"You're welcome." Kamio Tatsuya smiled. "However, I still suggest you take a closer look at the students' needs in the class and see if they want to move up a grade or graduate together."

Ichinose nodded heavily. After being promoted to a higher class, even she had developed the ambition to graduate from the class. She was sure that many of the other students thought the same way.

"Then I'll head back now. Bye-bye, Kamio."

"Walk slowly."

Kamio Tatsuya smiled and then saw Ichinose out of the room.

After seeing Ichinose off, Tatsuya Kamio sat back down at the table and began to think about what he needed to do next.

The first thing to determine is whether the school allows more than forty students to graduate from a class.

This is impossible to verify, because historically, no graduating class has ever been at full capacity, with no more than forty students. So there's no way to say that more than forty students graduated from a class.
