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

Horikita nodded, indicating that he could leave.

After leaving the office building, Tatsuya Kamio first went back to the classroom to get his bag before heading to the library to review for the day.

It's safe to assume that Longyuan already knows the final outcome of this farce, but it remains to be seen when he will make his next move.

The next day, when Tatsuya Kamio went to the library, he unexpectedly ran into Ryuen in the elevator.

The elevator doors opened, and both of them paused for a moment when they saw each other.

Then Long Yuan sneered first: "Want to come up?"

Kamio Tatsuya didn't really want to go up, but since the other party had invited him, wouldn't it be a sign of fear if he didn't go up?

So Tatsuya Kamio walked straight up and stood shoulder to shoulder with Ryuen.

After getting off the elevator, the two continued walking side by side towards the school.

"You're quite capable. You made me lose three of my top generals with ease."

Three key generals lost?

I don’t remember ever doing such a thing.

What are you talking about in your sleep?

Kamio Tatsuya glanced at him.

"The three of them have been suspended from school for a week, but the midterm exams are next Friday. If they don't make it to the midterm exams, wouldn't that be the same as being expelled?"

Generally speaking, unless there is a major change in circumstances or the student is too sick to attend school, any absence from an exam due to personal reasons such as a cold or school closure is considered a failure.

Ishizaki was suspended from school for a week, which meant he missed his midterm exams next Friday.

Normally, Ishizaki's dropping out of school was a done deal.

But this school is different. On the first day of school, the homeroom teachers of each class conveyed an extremely important piece of information to them—points can be used to buy anything.

Longyuan's current attitude proves that he has probably thought of this as well.

“If they really drop out of school for such a ridiculous reason, then your reign as king is truly over.” Kamio Tatsuya retorted sarcastically. “And this situation is all your fault, Ryuen. This is the price you pay for underestimating me.”

At the beginning, Tatsuya Kamio never expected that Ike and Yamauchi would be beaten.

In his initial plan, Ryuen would personally lead a group to wait at the special teaching building.

When he discovered that the person who came was not Tatsuya Kamio but Ike and Yamauchi, he could probably guess that Tatsuya Kamio had already seen through his purpose.

Therefore, his next step should be to take the love letter from Ike and Yamauchi, destroy the evidence, and then act as if nothing had happened.

We will then reconsider and find another opportunity to take action against Tatsuya Kamio.

As a result, because he looked down on Tatsuya Kamio, he only sent his subordinates, including Ishizaki, who had a grudge against Yamauchi.

As a result, things took a wild and unexpected turn.

The end result is the situation we see today.

When he arrived at the school, Tatsuya Kamio stopped in his tracks.

"Ryuen, humans are not machines. Before placing a piece on a chessboard, one should consider the possible changes that might occur.

However, unlike the promotion of pawns, humans, as chess pieces, do not only evolve towards excellence.

If you had been there yesterday, I don't think things would have come to this.

Chapter 59 Tatsuya Kamio: You have to believe me!

Upon arriving at the library, Tatsuya Kamio immediately spotted Hiyori Shiina, who was hiding in a corner organizing her study materials.

Good morning, Shiina.

Kamio Tatsuya walked up to her and greeted her as if nothing had happened.

"Good morning, Kamio-kun." Shiina looked up and saw Kamio Tatsuya. He immediately stood up from his seat, looking somewhat flustered. "I'm sorry, it's all because of me."

Seeing Shiina like this, Tatsuya Kamio felt even more strongly that she wasn't acting. In fact, if she really had such amazing acting skills, she might as well act for the rest of her life.

"It's nothing, I'm fine anyway." Tatsuya Kamio put down his bag and sat down on the stool. "What are you doing?"

“Ishizaki and the others have been suspended from school, and I’m organizing the lessons the teachers taught these past few days for them.”

A course? Oh, I see.

Ryuen is really good at pretending. Didn't he already have a way to prevent Ishizaki and the others from being expelled? Otherwise, why would he have Shiina organize all this stuff?

"Is Ryuen planning to get Ishizaki and the others a chance to retake the exam?"

Shiina Hiyori thought Kamio Tatsuya was amazing, he actually thought of Ryuen's method in one go, but when he thought of this, Shiina's face darkened.

"Well, according to Sakagami-sensei, each retake requires 500,000 private points..."

Holy crap, that's so expensive!

Kamio Tatsuya was also taken aback when he heard the number. He had expected that the number of points required for the retake would be high, but he did not expect it to be so many.

Each subject costs 500,000, and if one person takes five subjects, the total cost for all three people to retake the exams would be 7.5 million.

This is a huge sum of money; it's not certain that Class C, where Longyuan is, can afford it...

No, it's definitely impossible to produce it.

He only had one way to achieve this: to borrow.

First of all, forget about Class D. Class D doesn't have any points at all. So, is Longyuan planning to borrow points from Class A and Class B today?

Kamio Tatsuya expressed his disdain for Ryuen's behavior.

This guy isn't nearly as brave as I imagined.

If it were Tatsuya Kamio in this situation, he would absolutely not obediently pay money to get a chance to retake the exam.

"How many points has your class collected?"

“We only have a little over four million now. Ryuen said he’ll figure out how to get the rest of the points.” Shiina was a little worried.

What kind of brilliant idea could he come up with? When it really matters, you still have to rely on my grandpa Kamio!

This is a good opportunity to test the school's bottom line.

Not only that, but you might even be able to make a fortune from this opportunity!

Moreover, if Longyuan agrees to his request, then he won't be able to pull any more tricks before the midterm exams.

However, to be fair, it's a bit of an underestimation to think that Class C could actually scrape together over four million.

"Shiina, could you contact Ryuen and have him come over? I have something I'd like to talk to him about."

Shiina Hiyori hesitated for a moment, then dialed Ryuen's number again.

A dozen minutes later, Long Yuan appeared in the library.

"Hey, what do you want? I'm busy."

"You're busy with this, aren't you?"

Tatsuya Kamio opened his phone and showed the balance in his account.

The balance of over 3.1 million yuan was so dazzling that it blinded Longyuan.

However, upon seeing this number, he immediately understood and glanced at Shiina.

"What do you mean? Are you planning to lend me money at exorbitant interest rates?"

"I'm not as tasteless as you." Tatsuya Kamio put away his phone. "I heard you have four million private points collected from Class C?"

After hearing this, Ryuen glanced at Shiina again, thinking, "Why does she have to tell everyone everything?"

Oh well, she just wanted to accumulate enough points anyway.

"Not bad, this is all the private points Class C has."

“I’ll help you solve this problem. Give me these 4.5 million private points.”

Kamio Tatsuya certainly didn't want to lend money at exorbitant interest rates; what he was eyeing was the more than four million private points held by Ryuen.

Upon hearing Tatsuya Kamio's outrageous demands, Ryuen immediately sneered.

"Ha, why should I believe you?"

“We can sign a contract. I guarantee that Ishizaki and the other two will be able to show up at the exam venue next Friday. If they don’t, I will pay for their make-up exams.”

Of course, if they deliberately skipped the exam, then that's none of my business.

Kamio Tatsuya had a plan. If it went smoothly, he could successfully earn the four million private points held by Ryuen. However, if it didn't go smoothly, he would lose his living expenses for the next three years.

Then we might have to find another way to accumulate points again.

But that's what makes it exciting!

Ryuen did not refuse the good offer that Tatsuya Kamio made, since Class C didn't have anything of value anyway.

Since someone had come to his door to give him points, he decided to accept them directly.

"I'll call Sakagami over right away. The contract can be printed at the library. What do you think?"

Tatsuya Kamio nodded, indicating that he had no objection.

Before long, the three of them came up with a simple contract.

It was a transaction contract, the contents of which were very simple, and similar to what Tatsuya Kamio had just said.

The deal involves Ryuen paying Kamio Tatsuya 4.5 million private points in exchange for Kamio Tatsuya guaranteeing that Ishizaki and the others will be present at the exam venue on the day of the midterm exam.

Additional condition 1: If Ishizaki and others fail to take the exam, then Kamio Tatsuya is obligated to pay 7.5 million private points to secure a make-up exam opportunity for Ishizaki and others (this clause will be void if Ishizaki and others refuse to take the midterm exam due to subjective factors or unforeseen circumstances such as physical reasons).

Additional condition two: During this period, the 7.5 million private points held by Tatsuya Kamio will be frozen and cannot be used.

Additional condition three: Kamio Tatsuya is not responsible for the achievements of Ishizaki and others.

According to school regulations, only the presence of any homeroom teacher in the grade is required for students to sign contracts, so there's nothing wrong with Ryuen Senzaka being a witness.

No, perhaps Sakagami is the best person to witness this.

Soon after, Kazuma Sakagami, the homeroom teacher of Class C, came to the library.

"What happened at Longyuan?"

Seeing Kazuma Sakagami's attitude, Tatsuya Kamio sighed inwardly. This was the kind of attitude one should have if they wanted to lead their class to A-class.

What kind of bratty little sister behavior is Chabashira Saeda doing?

"I want to sign a contract with this guy and I hope you can be a witness."

Kazuma Sakagami looked at Tatsuya Kamio and nodded. Since it was Ryuen's decision, he had no objections.

"Where's the contract?"

"it's here."

Ryuen took out the newly printed contract and handed it to Sakagami for review.

After taking it, Sakagami-sensei examined it carefully, then looked at Kamio Tatsuya with some surprise. What was going on?

Why would someone willingly give money away?

Are you sure you want to sign this contract?

Tatsuya Kamio and Ryuen both nodded, indicating that they had no objections.

"In that case, sign it."

There were three copies of the contract, each signed by Tatsuya Kamio, Sho Ryuen, and Kazuma Sakagami.
