Outside the tearoom private box.
Ichimaru Honda, the leader of Second Year Class C, and Haruka Satou, the leader of Second Year Class D, happened to meet, staring at each other wide-eyed.
"Why are you here?"
They asked each other in unison.
They were both called here by a phone call from Katsuragi Ren to discuss matters, but they didn't expect to arrive at the same time.
"So, your Class D has surrendered?" Ichimaru Honda immediately guessed and spoke in a low voice.
"Huh? What are you saying? We call this joining the winning side!"
Hearing the slander from the Class C leader, Haruka Satou took a step back to distance himself, raising his voice slightly, hoping Katsuragi Ren inside the private room would hear.
He's still the leader of the class we suppressed! He doesn't even understand the art of language!
Barbarian, I'm ashamed to be associated with you.
Thinking this, Haruka Satou took another two steps back.
"You!!!" Ichimaru Honda flushed with anger. Are those steps back serious?
Fine, fine, using me as a stepping stone, huh?
"Satou-san, why are you here too? What a coincidence."
A male voice came from behind Haruka Satou, with a hint of confusion in his tone.
The newcomer was Ishida, who had also been called over by Katsuragi Ren.
Another expert?
Ichimaru Honda and Haruka Satou were shocked. They were at least class leaders, which qualified them to be called by Katsuragi Ren.
What right does this guy have?
"Come in if you're here, what's the noise outside?" Katsuragi Ren's impatient voice came from inside the private room.
The two leaders looked at each other, unsure if Katsuragi Ren was speaking out of anger or something else.
The rash Ishida didn't have so many scruples and pushed the door open: "I'm here, Boss."
"Sit."
Seeing the three standing cautiously in front of him, Katsuragi Ren poured tea for each of them until the cups were seventy percent full, gesturing for them to sit down and talk.
"Katsuragi-kohai, do you have any instructions for calling me here?" Ichimaru Honda, having been put on the spot by Haruka Satou at the door, spoke first.
He was truly afraid of that bastard from Class D stepping on him again as soon as he opened his mouth.
He hurriedly offered his loyalty first.
"Right, right, right, I mean the same." Haruka Satou followed closely behind.
"Me too." Ishida played the role of honest and simple.
Not rushing to speak, Katsuragi Ren blew lightly on his tea cup, using the lid to block the tea leaves, and sipped the tea unhurriedly.
Similar to the manipulation technique Manabu Horikita used in the gymnasium before, the only difference was that Manabu Horikita was mostly bluffing.
The two leaders were fidgeting, already starting to imagine things.
Ishida didn't have so many twists and turns, scratching his head: "Boss?"
"You had someone take photos when you beat up Nagumo-senpai, right? Spread them around among the students." Katsuragi Ren gave Ishida a task.
(Transferred 230,000 points)
"The extra 30,000 is a reward for your heavy hand earlier. You're done here, you can go." Katsuragi Ren took a deep look at Ishida who broke the atmosphere.
Indeed, heroes are as numerous as carp crossing the river.
The seemingly carefree Ishida timed his interruption perfectly. If it had been any longer, the two next to him might have really burned out their brains from internal friction.
"Leave it to me, Boss." Ishida, having received the payment, left the tea room happily.
Ichimaru Honda didn't react much, but Haruka Satou took an extra look when Ishida left.
Good one, big guy. I was wondering why you were so brave last time; turns out there was extra money to be made.
"Honda-senpai, Satou-senpai. For your two classes, I hope you can relax the pressure on Nagumo-senpai a bit. When necessary, you can follow Nagumo-senpai's lead as before."
Hearing Katsuragi Ren's order, Ichimaru Honda was startled, fearing Katsuragi Ren suspected him, and hurriedly jumped out to show loyalty: "Impossible, Katsuragi-kun! Rest assured, I will absolutely follow your lead."
"Katsuragi-kun, do you mean for us to be undercover agents?" Haruka Satou was much smarter and guessed Katsuragi Ren's idea immediately.
"Exactly. Don't worry. My previous promise still stands. When you graduate, you two senpais will have three slots to transfer yourselves or your classmates to Class A."
"However, please remember not to take more than you can handle."
When saying the last sentence, Katsuragi Ren's tone carried a hint of warning.
He could accept the two being a little selfish and reserving one slot directly, but he couldn't accept all three slots he gave being reserved internally.
"Understood."
Hearing Katsuragi Ren's warning, Ichimaru Honda and Haruka Satou both breathed a sigh of relief.
They weren't afraid of Katsuragi Ren making demands; they were afraid of him not making demands.
Nothing comes for free. If something really falls on your head, you have to be careful.
A call from the contact named Honami-chan came in. Katsuragi Ren picked up the teapot and filled the cups for the two class leaders.
Bang.
The sound of the door closing rang out. Only Katsuragi Ren remained in the tea room.
"Moshi moshi, Honami-chan, did something happen?" Katsuragi Ren answered the phone.
"Ren-kun, I think I know Class C's countermeasure." Honami-chan was like a little girl who found a treasure; her first reaction after finding the chest was to share it with the boy she liked.
The one-hour study session passed quickly. After saying goodbye to Honami-chan, the Class A students left the library one after another.
The students who left first quickly noticed something wrong.
Most students were being followed by Class C students. To ensure the accuracy of their guess, they even deliberately took several detours.
The fact was, they were really being followed.
Some students went to confront the followers, who shamelessly claimed they were just passing by coincidence.
Two others were even more disgusting, saying it must be fate that allowed them to meet like this.
Chihiro Shiranami was one of the two victims. Scared, she ran back to the library in a hurry.
After finding Honami-chan, she threw herself into the girl's arms and cried softly. Honami-chan spent a long time coaxing her before she calmed down.
Finally free, Honami-chan was talking to Katsuragi Ren on the phone while stroking Chihiro-chan's small head to comfort her.
When speaking of this, Honami-chan glanced at Hiyori Shiina beside her in surprise, not understanding why the intellectual and virtuous Hiyori Shiina was assigned to Class C.
And Hiyori-chan, listening to Chihiro-chan's story, had buried her head in Mochi's belly in shame, unwilling to come out.
She really had no face to see people.
Especially Honami-chan, whom she just met today. She never expected Kakeru Ryuen's method to be so...
So...
Disgusting.
"Is Kakeru Ryuen a child?" Katsuragi Ren was speechless.
What kind of merit-based school is this? Is it based on wretchedness?
"I understand. For now, tell everyone to travel in groups and be careful of Class C. Wait for me to solve everything." Temporarily issuing a defensive strategy, Katsuragi Ren pondered how to handle this matter.
He had to find a way to hurt Class C.
What kind of class is Class C anyway? A class of thugs?
Even using stalking tactics.
"Mm-hmm, I understand, Ren-kun." Honami-chan's gentle voice came through.
Katsuragi Ren looked out the window and saw a sneaky figure: "Honami-chan, I might have something to do here, so I might be very late. If you guys are hungry, remember to eat first, don't worry about me."
Hanging up the phone, Katsuragi Ren walked out of the tea room to a waiter.
Hello, could you please give me a pair of white gloves? Thank you.
