I'm in a real religion, why are all the people who confess to me girls?

The reason is simple: Longyuan's willingness to accept punishment is a drastic measure. The reason why the second grader persuaded Longyuan to accept compensation is because compensation is the least costly solution.

However, Ryuen was willing to drop out of school in exchange for the first-year students being exempted from punishment for Class C of the second year. This sounded very reasonable, but the second-year students could not accept that a class leader would drop out because of a first-year student.

Especially since the school had no intention of expelling anyone, Longyuan's suggestion was like putting the entire second-year class in a very difficult position.

If even the best class leaders in the second year combined can't protect someone who's already guaranteed not to drop out, what face will the second-year students have left to compete for honors and rankings in the future?

Therefore, the moment Ryuen uttered the proposal, it was immediately rejected by Kanzaki.

"Longyuan, are you kidding me! Why did you choose to drop out of school when something could be solved simply by paying points?!"

Compared to the excited Kanzaki, Hashimoto first glanced at the still incredibly calm Amane. Hashimoto knew very well that Amane loved to watch the fun, but she was definitely not the kind of person who couldn't distinguish between what was important and what wasn't. Given that it was obvious that Ryuen's plan would cause the entire second year to suffer the humiliation of being inferior to others until graduation, Amane couldn't possibly remain indifferent.

Tianyin's calm demeanor is unusually unusual. The reason she can remain so calm is probably either because she knew in advance that Longyuan would do this, or she probably has some solution.

Anyway, following Tianyin's lead is never going to be a loss.

Having made up his mind, Hashimoto decided to act based on Amane's reaction.

Ryuen, who was being questioned by Kanzaki, only glanced at Kanzaki and didn't even bother to look at him again. At this moment, his gaze was fixed on Tsubaki Sakura, who was offering compensation.

Ryuen's domineering gaze disgusted Tsubaki Sakura, but she knew she didn't have time to waste right now.

After thinking for a while, Tsubaki Sakurako gave a meaningful look to Utsunomiya, who was sitting next to her.

Although Tsubaki Sakura could directly agree to Ryuen's proposal, she personally didn't want to stand out so much. Besides... there was another extremely unstable factor besides Ryuen, namely Treasure Spring.

If she agreed to Longyuan's offer, it would mean that Baoquan would have to give up the compensation of three million personal points, which was no small sum. Although Longyuan had never promised to give Baoquan three million, judging from their brief exchange, Chun Yingzi could tell that Baoquan probably already considered the three million personal points as his own. If she took it upon herself to agree to Longyuan's offer, Baoquan would definitely cause her some trouble.

Tsubaki Sakura didn't want to stand out too much, so after a brief moment of thought, she decided to have her person in charge speak for her.

Seeing that Tsubaki Sakurako nodded in agreement, even though he was not satisfied with the result, Riku Utsunomiya still spoke up as Tsubaki Sakurako had hinted.

“On behalf of Class C, Grade 1, I endorse this proposal.”

"I second that."

When Yagami saw that Utsunomiya had agreed to the request, he had nothing to say. He no longer wanted to have anything to do with that bastard Ryuen and just wanted to end this meeting that had made him furious as soon as possible.

"Hey!! You two! Are you really going to let Longyuan off so easily? Demanding compensation is perfectly reasonable, and there's no way you're going to make Class D give up the benefits that are about to be in our hands!!"

Baoquan decisively chose to refuse, which was understandable to everyone.

"Oh? Compensation? Baoquan, you're dreaming. I've already said that Class C of the second year will not offer any form of compensation. The only solution I can offer is to drop out of school myself to put an end to this mess. Of course, if you insist on demanding compensation, I'll have to give up on that idea, and in the end, this matter will probably just fade away."

Long Yuan let out a cold laugh.

Bao Quan's face immediately turned serious. He hated Long Yuan terribly, but he couldn't deny that Long Yuan was right. Judging from the school's current attitude, they hoped to punish Class C slightly without anyone being expelled. However, if Long Yuan insisted on not paying compensation, the school couldn't take any coercive measures. After all, Long Yuan could lead almost an entire class to hand in blank papers in protest. If this got out, it would be a huge educational scandal for Gao Yutian.

The school certainly doesn't want this matter to escalate, so if Longyuan insists on dragging it out, the probability of it ending inconclusively is the highest.

Baoquan was particularly unhappy after realizing that he couldn't squeeze a hefty sum out of Longyuan.

"Tsk, you're getting off easy, you bastard. I've agreed too."

After Baoquan agreed, three votes came in a year later. Since Longyuan was the one who took the initiative to propose a solution, the other classes in the second year had no reason to object.

When Jiang Yan saw that the current situation was almost like going through the motions, he was about to raise his hand in approval when Tian Yin pressed him down.

'Sister Tianyin is holding my hand…'

"Jiang Yan, are you an idiot? Can't you see that this is Long Yuan's scheme?"

Tianyin feigned surprise and asked Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan froze for a second when Tian Yin looked at him like he was an idiot, and then his brain started working at lightning speed.

Jiang Yan tried to figure out what Long Yuan's "scheme" was, but after thinking about it, he still couldn't figure it out. Long Yuan's move was to offset all compensation with his own sacrifice. To Jiang Yan, this move was not outstanding and could even be described as mediocre.

After all, even an ordinary person might think of shifting the blame to someone else when faced with responsibility, and Long Yuan was simply the one who took the initiative to assume responsibility.

But in essence, they were abandoned by Class C, and there was nothing particularly remarkable about this approach.

If there's anything that surprised Jiang Yan, it's probably that he found Long Yuan quite responsible... But what does this plan have to do with anything?

'I'm doomed! Even with Amane-nee's hints, why am I completely clueless?! I absolutely have to figure out that "scheme," otherwise Amane-nee's opinion of me will definitely plummet to below that woman named Horikita!!!'

Jiang Yan's face turned bright red from the mental overload of the test. Even Tian Yin couldn't help but keep a little distance from him, afraid that Jiang Yan might suddenly explode.

Actually, the idea of ​​scheming was just something Tianyin said offhand.

Tenon understood Ryuen's intentions as early as when Ryuen rejected Tsubaki Sakura's proposal. From the beginning, he was not there to solve the problem, but rather to deliberately escalate the situation.

Ryuen's intended direct conversation was not with Asahina or Sakayanagi, but rather... with the true managers of Koyu, the directors and chairman of Koyu.

However, getting them to handle such minor management issues is quite difficult. For Longyuan, the only solution is...

This allowed the whole situation to spiral out of control.

But it's clear that Long Yuan couldn't do this alone; she needed her help to even have a tiny chance of meeting those important figures.

Who made Tianyin's identity so special?

Upon hearing that the eldest daughter of the Miyako family was going to protest the rules, even the chairman of the board had to come out and explain.

Although Long Yuan was unaware of the specifics, he knew very well that as long as he dragged Tianyin into the mess, he would have a chance to get close to his target.

So, after seeing through all of this, Tianyin took the initiative to enter the game.

What? Why should we help Longyuan?

Perhaps it's just to make things more interesting?

Thinking about what might happen later, Tianyin unconsciously curled up a beautiful smile at the corner of her mouth.

Jiang Yan, whose brain was overloaded, immediately calmed down after seeing Tian Yin's smile.

'Sister Tianyin is an angel!!'

"I'm very sorry, but I really can't think of any scheme that Senior Longyuan could have. Could you please enlighten me, elder sister?"

Oh no!

Tianyin was just saying it casually, her purpose was simply to interrupt Jiang Yan and tell him not to get involved.

What should we do now? If we can't come up with a shocking conspiracy, everyone will look down on us...

Actually, Tianyin was overthinking it. Now, Gao Yu is someone who would never underestimate Tianyin.

"Hmph, as expected, I'll have to explain the Dragon Garden's scheme to you."

Seeing Tianyin's smug look, Longyuan blinked.

Did he devise any scheme? If we had to say he did, it would probably be to drag Tianyin into this mess, but even if Tianyin realized it, how would she explain it?

Long Yuan couldn't help but feel a little expectant; he wanted to see what scheme Tianyin had figured out.

Amid everyone's expectant gazes, Tianyin first cleared her throat and then began to explain Longyuan's "scheme" to everyone.

"First of all, if you all agree to expel Longyuan, have you considered how the second graders will feel about the first graders?"

Tianyin's question was very simple, but no one took the initiative to speak, because the question was so simple that they didn't know how to answer it. Some even suspected that this was the scheme of Longyuan that Tianyin mentioned, and they couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.

Tianyin took in everyone's reactions, but she wasn't angry. Since no one was cooperating, she would just continue.

"Second-year students may be hostile towards first-year students. However, other second-year classes, including Class A, besides Class C, might put aside their resentment towards first-year students if they encounter another special exam that requires cooperation with first-year students, considering their own interests. But... it's hard to say about Class C in the second year."

Tianyin's voice became much deeper.

Jiang Yan had a slight clue at this point and couldn't help but ask.

"Could it be that Ryuen is planning to use the hatred that Class 2-C harbors towards the first-year students for revenge? No, that can't be..."

Jiang Yangang voiced his guess, but immediately denied it himself.

"If Ryuen-senpai hadn't been expelled, I would believe he had such influence. But it's already commendable that Class C didn't fall apart after Ryuen-senpai's expulsion. Getting Class C, which has lost its leader, to unite immediately is not something an ordinary person can do."

"Masahiko, you're very close to the answer~ Indeed, if an ordinary person inherited a class that had been ruled by violence, the class would definitely fall into chaos due to various troubles, but... what would happen if everyone found out that Ryuen dropped out of school because of the coercion of the first-year students?"

Jiang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly; he already knew what Tianyin meant by "scheme".

"what happens?"

Nanase Tsubasa couldn't help but ask.

"Whether the newly appointed class leader wants to stop the chaos in the class or to unite the students, the simplest way is to set a goal that everyone can empathize with. What if this goal is to avenge Ryuen, who was forced to drop out of school because he took on everyone's responsibility?"

Tenon's analysis caused a drastic change in the expressions of Utsunomiya and the others.

They could already imagine that once Longyuan dropped out of school, the next successor would mindlessly shift the responsibility to the first-year students, which would then turn into a life-or-death battle between the second-year Class C and them. If the revenge was successful, the first-year students would surely suffer unacceptable losses.

If we fail, it will become even more troublesome. If someone in Class C of Grade 2 is expelled again, the other classes in Grade 2 will definitely not sit idly by.

If the two grades switch from special exams to private matches, how could the first-year students possibly withstand a monster of Tianyin's caliber?

Not to mention that Jiang Yan might turn against them and betray them...

Even Baoquan was sweating profusely at the thought of it. Even though he wasn't afraid of Longyuan and even looked down on him, he was still speechless with shock when he thought about how Longyuan would rather drop out of school and drag the entire first-year class down with him.

What kind of insane person could come up with such a scheme? What? What if the successor doesn't want to avenge Longyuan?

Does he have the ability to quell the remnants of Longyuan and the disastrous situation of Class C after their gestures were defeated?

In the end, no matter what, they must raise the banner of revenge for Ryuen in order to unite Class C and win people's hearts. In other words, no matter what, they can no longer stay out of it after the first year.

"Despicable! Long Yuan, you despicable bastard, all you can do is use such tricks!"

Baoquan slammed his fist on the table in anger, his eyes fixed on Long Yuan, looking as if he wanted to tear Long Yuan apart.

But Long Yuan had no time to deal with Bao Quan at that moment; he was thinking about the probability of the plan's success.

He then came to a startling conclusion: the plan was less of a plan and more of a predictable event that would happen after he was expelled from school.

Even if a smart and gentle student like Shiina takes on the important task of leading Class C, if he doesn't want to avenge Ryuen, it's unlikely that he'll have another chance to unite Class C in the short term... no, it's practically impossible.

After figuring everything out, Ryuen's feelings became extremely complicated.

Tianyin's power made him feel as if Tianyin might have seen through all the methods he had set up against her.

No, there couldn't possibly be such a terrifying guy in the world... right?

"Do you still agree with the suggestion to expel Long Yuan from school?"

Asahina Nazuna, a third-year student, seemed completely detached from the situation. After both sides calmed down a bit, she asked the first-year student representative a question.

"There is absolutely no way we can agree to such a suggestion!"

"That's right, only a fool would want to have such a crazy plan and inexplicably start a life-or-death feud with someone in this school."

……

Asahina felt helpless looking at the first-year student who had changed his mind. Ryuen was unwilling to pay compensation, and the first-year student wanted to withdraw from school but wouldn't allow it. How could this matter be handled in a way that would satisfy both parties?

Seeing that Asahina seemed unable to make her own judgment, Ryuen realized that her opportunity had come.

"If Vice President Asahina can't solve the problem... how about letting someone else handle it?"

"Others? I don't know what you're trying to say, Longyuan. I'm the representative from the school and the student council in charge of handling this incident. You can tell me if you have any suggestions or thoughts..."

Asahina's earnest words were met with a disdainful look from Ryuen.

"Come on, do you really have the authority to make decisions about this? I remember you said at the beginning that you were only responsible for collecting suggestions and recording the discussion. How come you've become the agent in charge of handling things now? Vice President Asahina, you really can't even lie properly."

Faced with Ryuen's provocation, Asahina appeared slightly flustered. She realized that there was a contradiction in her statements, so she immediately tried to salvage the situation with her words. However, no matter how hard she racked her brains, she could not think of a way to refute Ryuen's statement.

Her every move was imitating Nan Yun's former appearance, but unfortunately she was not the real Nan Yun after all, so she began to waver under Long Yuan's questioning.

"Even if I don't have that kind of power, I can still report things like this..."

As soon as Asahina relented, Amane knew that Asahina was doomed. If Asahina insisted that she was the agent, then even Ryuen would not dare to pressure Asahina too much.

However, perhaps because Asahina lacked experience in supporting such a meeting for the first time, and probably didn't participate much in inter-class competition, she was exposed by Ryuen after only two sentences.

Next up is probably Longyuan's home turf.

“You’ve admitted that you don’t have that authority, so I hope you can communicate with someone who does have the authority to handle this matter.”

"Longyuan, why are you so sure that other people in the school are involved?"

Tsubaki Sakura was somewhat curious as to why Ryuen was so convinced that there were other people behind the scenes at the school waiting to handle this matter.

"The reason is simple: today is Thursday, and tomorrow is the day the results are announced. In other words, if the school wants to announce the results normally tomorrow, it must finish everything today... So, although it seems that we are here just to discuss a few opinions for the school to refer to, in reality, the school will probably adopt our opinions as the solution as soon as this meeting ends, right?"

Asahina fell silent.

Seeing Asahina's state, everyone understood that Ryuen's guess was not fabricated out of thin air.

"So... could Asahina-senpai please convey my wish to speak with the school administration?"
