"All I want isn't much. How about one million points? I'm sure that's nothing for the Student Council President."
"You're dreaming! I'd rather drop out than let you succeed!"
Horikita Suzune glared furiously at Bai Yuze. For her, her situation didn't matter, as long as it didn't affect Horikita Manabu.
Bai Yuze spread his hands and scoffed.
"You're still too naive. What can you do even if you drop out? What can you salvage for your beloved brother?"
Bai Yuze was right. Whether Horikita Suzune dropped out or not, Horikita Manabu's reputation would be damaged. If Horikita Suzune did drop out, it would undoubtedly reinforce the fact that Horikita Manabu bullied students, even if that student was his own sister.
"You guy…"
"Enough, Suzune!"
Horikita Manabu interrupted Horikita Suzune. He pushed up his glasses, his gaze scrutinizing Bai Yuze.
"I can give you one million points, but do you want the answers to the doubts in your heart?"
"You have connections?"
Bai Yuze slapped his forehead. He had only been thinking about the points and had overlooked the information Horikita Manabu knew as the Student Council President!
"Heh! You definitely won't give it to me for free. Are you trying to exchange information for the evidence I have?"
Bai Yuze retreated a few steps, because he noticed Horikita Suzune trying to quietly approach him. Before taking the photo, he had already surveyed the surroundings, and there were no cameras here.
It would be tragic if he accidentally got double-teamed by a male and female.
"The points don't matter. I need you to do me a favor."
"Speak freely, but whether I agree or not is still uncertain."
"I need you to be responsible for Suzune's safety."
Horikita Manabu's words were startling, even Horikita Suzune was stunned in place.
"You… are you in such a hurry to marry off your sister? Please allow me to refuse. Your sister's personality is too terrible; I can't handle it."
Bai Yuze's expression of refusal successfully made Horikita Suzune bristle.
"Shameless scoundrel, as if I'd ever be interested in you!"
To be fair, Horikita Suzune's looks were indeed top-tier. Her naturally aloof demeanor alleviated the difficulty of not being able to carry an air conditioner in summer. She had the figure, the looks, and the personality to match her figure and looks.
"That's not what I meant. I mean you need to protect Suzune's safety."
Horikita Manabu clenched his fists, then released them. After all, teasing his sister in front of a sis-con was like an old man hanging himself—asking for death.
"Your sister's personality is no good. If I spend too much time with her, I'm afraid I'll die young."
Bai Yuze still declined. Everyone had their own lives, and he didn't want his future to be spent constantly watching a sis-con, foul-mouthed airhead.
"I'm not asking you to watch her constantly. You don't need to worry in school, but outside of school, you'll need to keep an eye on her."
"You mean we have a chance to leave school? And not only is the school unsafe, but the outside is also unsafe?"
"I'll answer that question in a moment. What do you think of this proposal?"
Horikita Manabu didn't want to discuss this further; instead, he began to press Bai Yuze for his answer.
"Tsk… Fine, but if your sister seeks death, I can't guarantee anything."
"No matter." Horikita Manabu glared at Horikita Suzune. "If Suzune really gets eliminated, then she brought it upon herself."
"Is that so? Then why did you ask me to be responsible for her safety?"
Bai Yuze began to laugh wildly internally. This is how tsunderes are; their mouths are the toughest part of them.
"Heh heh, I just think my good-for-nothing sister's elimination would be too early and a bit embarrassing, that's all."
Horikita Manabu glared at Horikita Suzune, who was dejected, her head bowed so her expression couldn't be seen.
"Alright, then I agree."
Bai Yuze nodded, then put down his phone and walked towards Horikita Manabu.
"What do you say? Want to exchange phone numbers? Or add each other as friends…"
Bang!
Bai Yuze's body reacted automatically, kicking Horikita Manabu's incoming fist.
"A sneak attack?"
"Just a test of the situation, that's all."
"Nonsense."
Bai Yuze grumbled, then looked at Horikita Suzune, who was in self-isolation.
"Can she leave first?"
Horikita Manabu didn't speak, he just glanced at Horikita Suzune. What made Bai Yuze curious was why Horikita Suzune, who was looking down, could understand Horikita Manabu's meaning?
With the irrelevant person gone, the two began their conversation.
"Ask away. I will answer your questions to the best of my ability."
"First question, why did you choose me? I'm just an ordinary student."
Bai Yuze was very puzzled. He had just enrolled, yet Horikita Manabu dared to confidently entrust Horikita Suzune to him. It was truly unbelievable.
"If it were you this morning, I would never have chosen you, but now it's different."
"Me this morning?! Could it be that you also…?"
"That's right." Horikita Manabu nodded. "I once absorbed the power of the Guaidan, which is why I can sense the same power in you as in me."
"What exactly is this Guaidan?"
Bai Yuze's questions grew. First, strange rules, then inexplicable power.
"It's complicated to explain. I'll compile a separate document with this information and send it to you. Do you have anything else you want to ask?"
Horikita Manabu looked at his watch, his tone slightly urgent.
Bai Yuze knew Horikita Manabu couldn't stay here too long. As for the reason, he guessed it might be related to Nan Yunya.
"What do you mean by danger outside of school?"
"It's the dorms." Horikita Manabu sighed. "Due to the excessive number of student casualties in the dorms, the eerie atmosphere there has become increasingly Rich, which is fatal for new students."
"The dorms? But you mentioned danger outside of school. Is there a connection?"
"Yes, on the first night, new students will be randomly teleported by strange energy to a bizarre world. We call it the Rule Strange Talk World.
New students must find a way to survive in the Rule Strange Talk World. Only then can they gain the dorm's recognition."
"Then can I avoid this lucky draw? Like not returning to the dorms or something."
Bai Yuze suddenly realized why he always felt like something was watching him when he entered the dorms.
He didn't expect that he had stumbled into a 'wolf's den'!
"You're thinking too much." Horikita Manabu shook his head. "Some people have tried that measure, but the results proved it was futile."
Bai Yuze fell silent. He wanted to ask something else, but Horikita Manabu preemptively answered his question.
"You must be wondering if dropping out can solve this problem, but I'm sorry, you still had a chance this morning."
Rumble!
Horikita Manabu's words were like a thunderbolt striking Bai Yuze's head.
"Because… of the Guaidan?"
Facing Bai Yuze's question, Horikita Manabu remained silent, but Bai Yuze already understood one thing.
From this moment on, he… had no way out.
