"Eh, Ayanokoji doesn't know him?"
"Is it strange not to know him?"
"Ahaha, that's not what I meant. Actually, he's quite famous among the girls. Everyone says he looks like a celebrity."
So, another handsome guy, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka thought to himself.
At this moment, Kushida Kikyo suddenly pulled him into a corner and then motioned for him to look ahead.
"Look, that boy is Suzuki-kun."
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a boy standing in front of Horikita Suzune. He had a delicate appearance and a calm expression, showing no emotion, like the aloof heartthrob the girls talked about.
He seemed difficult to deal with; it would probably be hard to become friends.
Just as Ayanokoji Kiyotaka thought this, the other party finally spoke.
"Do you have the Student Council President's contact information?"
Although it was a strange question, Horikita Suzune still answered.
"Not at the moment."
The other party nodded thoughtfully, then said something shocking.
"Suzune, you should drop out."
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka and Kushida Kikyo were both stunned, not to mention Horikita Suzune, who was the subject of the conversation.
"Wait, what do you mean by that?" Horikita Suzune frowned, not even caring about how he addressed her.
"Literally." Suzuki Toru said calmly, "As the Student Council President's sister, you've disappointed your brother too much. Instead of staying here and making a fool of yourself, it's better to drop out early. It's good for you and for the Student Council President."
Horikita Suzune stared at the boy in disbelief. How dare he say such a thing?
Chapter 29: Disgrace, You Should Drop Out
Suzuki Toru carefully scrutinized the girl in front of him. From her appearance, there was nothing to criticize; where she should be plump, she was full and rounded, and where she should be slender, she was delicately thin.
She wore a student uniform, with slender legs exposed beneath the hem of her skirt. Her small feet, encased in black over-the-knee socks, were hidden inside her small leather shoes, revealing no scenery.
"I want to thoroughly lick Horikita Suzune's jade feet," "Make her and Kushida Kikyo stack on top of each other," "Force her to make friends," "I want to see Horikita Suzune's face full of unwillingness, but with tears streaming down," "Touch her thighs," "Rub her chest," "Manipulate Horikita Suzune"...
Although he had seen her desires before, it was still somewhat astonishing now.
However, for Suzuki Toru, he just needed to make some choices.
When she heard him utter the word "drop out," Horikita Suzune's expression slowly shifted from calm to disbelief, no longer able to hide her inner turmoil.
Especially when he mentioned Horikita Manabu's disappointment in her as a sister, Suzuki Toru noticed her face turned extremely ugly, and a hint of weakness flashed in her eyes.
"Does brother want me to leave here?" Horikita Suzune squeezed out a bitter sound from deep within her throat.
Suzuki Toru calmly said, "First, let me introduce myself. I am Suzuki Toru from Class 1-A, a new student this year, just like you. Yesterday, the Student Council President personally invited me to join the Student Council."
Horikita Suzune looked at him with some surprise, momentarily unclear about his intention.
"Aren't you brother's friend?"
"Of course, I am, otherwise why would I join the Student Council?" Suzuki Toru played a trick, "It's precisely because of this that the Student Council President and I are disappointed in you, Suzune."
Horikita Suzune pursed her lips, "I'm not the same as I used to be. This time, I came to this school to catch up with my brother. There's no way I'll drop out."
Suzuki Toru looked as if he was looking at an idiot, revealing a helpless expression and sighing, "Do you still not understand the situation? As the Student Council President's sister, you're actually a Class D student. If people find out about this, you'll cause the Student Council President to lose face."
"What's wrong with Class D?" Horikita Suzune frowned, "It's just a class. My entrance exam scores were excellent, and I won't fall behind in the future either."
"I didn't expect the Student Council President's sister to be an idiot. It seems the Student Council President's assessment of you was entirely correct."
"Is your purpose in finding me just to say these things?" Horikita Suzune was very unconvinced. Her ability to follow in Horikita Manabu's footsteps and come here was already enough to prove her excellence.
However, Suzuki Toru merely said coldly, "Give up. In this school, being assigned to Class D means you are trash. Only Class A is recognized by the school and everyone as excellent talent."
Horikita Suzune was stunned. Students assigned to Class D are all trash?
"Seeing that you know nothing, I truly feel sorry for the Student Council President. He was a Class A student from the beginning, and after two years of struggle, he still firmly holds his Class A position, while also taking over the Student Council's power."
"But his sister is a Class D student. The first time I heard this news, I thought I misheard it. When I confirmed it with the Student Council President, he also seemed unwilling to accept this fact."
"Since you don't know, I'll explain briefly. Before admission, the school determines the students' aptitude and divides them into classes accordingly. Excellent students are in Class A, those who barely pass are in Class B and Class C, and only those who fail are assigned to Class D."
"So, Suzune, you are a substandard defective product."
Finally, Suzuki Toru delivered his ultimate conclusion.
Horikita Suzune's thoughts were in disarray. She bit her lower lip, wanting to retort to Suzuki Toru several times but not knowing what to say.
These words were unlikely to be false; if she checked with her homeroom teacher or an upperclassman, she would quickly get an answer. Suzuki Toru had no reason to lie.
But if he wasn't lying, wasn't she trash, just as he said?
"Something must be wrong. My written and oral exams were excellent. I can't be a bad student!" Horikita Suzune's tone became agitated as she desperately tried to prove herself.
Suzuki Toru silently took out his phone, then played a pre-prepared recording. This was a conversation he had recorded with a bug in the Student Council office at the time.
"By the way, Senior, do you have a sister?"
"You've met Suzune?"
"I have, but I find it a bit strange. She's Senior's sister, so why isn't she in Class A?"
"She lacks certain qualifications in some aspects, so it's not surprising that she's not in Class A."
"…"
Horikita Suzune initially didn't understand what he was doing, but the moment she heard the familiar voice, her expression couldn't help but stiffen.
"You should have heard it clearly. This is a conversation I recorded in front of the Student Council President." Suzuki Toru appropriately turned off the recording in time to avoid revealing anything. "He told me that Suzune is not suitable to stay in this school. I still remember his expression; you disappointed him greatly."
Horikita Suzune's heart pounded.
"If you don't believe me, I have the Student Council President's contact information here. You can call him to confirm it." Suzuki Toru shoved the phone into her hand.
Horikita Suzune instinctively glanced down, seeing a contact saved as Horikita Manabu, which startled her so much she almost dropped the phone, as if she were holding a hot potato.
Seeing this, Suzuki Toru's lips curled slightly. Perhaps he could really overpower this girl today.
"I, I'm not trash! The school must have made a mistake! I'll get into Class A immediately and show you!" Horikita Suzune's thoughts were in disarray, and she didn't care about anything else, just screaming hysterically as if that could change something.
"The school wouldn't make a mistake, and how would you get into Class A?" Suzuki Toru said indifferently.
When he said that, Horikita Suzune seemed to grasp something: "Do you know how to transfer to Class A?!"
"Yes, but why should I tell you?" Suzuki Toru retorted.
Horikita Suzune was speechless for a moment, but her reaction was quick.
"It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. I'll go to the homeroom teacher; the homeroom teacher will definitely know."
She's not completely idiotic after all, Suzuki Toru thought.
"Don't be naive. If she were going to tell you, why didn't she tell you at the beginning of the school year?"
Seeing Horikita Suzune's stunned expression, he knew he hadn't guessed wrong. Not only Class A, but the other classes also hadn't been informed of the truth.
The school didn't deliberately hide anything, nor did it actively introduce anything; it simply put everything out there, as if saying, 'take it or leave it.'
However, the school still prohibited teachers and upperclassmen from disclosing information, especially regarding the rules of the exams.
"The reason is simple: these are all paid contents. Even I only found out about them after spending one million personal points." Suzuki Toru said without batting an eyelid.
Wait, she didn't mishear, did she? One million personal points!?
Horikita Suzune was shocked. Didn't they say everyone only had one hundred thousand personal points?
And why do you have one million personal points?
Chapter 30: Don't Bully a Young Girl for Being Poor
"How do you have so many personal points?" Horikita Suzune was filled with doubt.
She even suspected whether Class A was different from other classes, having privileges even in terms of personal points.
"One million isn't that much. A whole class combined can gather four million personal points." Suzuki Toru observed her reaction, but saw her momentarily stunned, clearly not having thought of this method.
Does this guy have some kind of antisocial disorder?
A normal person's reaction should be to think that he might have borrowed personal points from others, right?
What Suzuki Toru didn't know was that Horikita Suzune had been socially awkward since kindergarten. She would only suspect whether Suzuki Toru had some means of earning personal points or possessed some kind of privilege.
"Did your Class A collectively buy the information from the homeroom teacher?" Horikita Suzune looked shocked. She knew that in her class, besides eating and playing, no one cared about such things.
Well, she hadn't cared about these things until recently either.
"It's not that exaggerated; it's just my personal channel." Suzuki Toru said calmly, "However, someone in our class did buy information from the homeroom teacher. If I'm not mistaken, the students in your Class D have already spent their personal points on meaningless shopping, right?"
Horikita Suzune was silent for a moment, then said coldly, "Don't compare me to those people. Although I still have over eighty thousand personal points, the only information I want to buy is how to transfer to Class A. I don't think the homeroom teacher will set the price too high."
She looked directly into Suzuki Toru's eyes. She had enough confidence in both her academic performance and athletic ability, so getting into Class A shouldn't be too difficult.
Moreover, Horikita Suzune had vaguely noticed some clues. According to Suzuki Toru, the school intentionally classified students by their abilities but didn't inform them immediately.
There must be some reason why the school chose to conceal it.
Considering that personal points could buy so-called information, what was the purpose of this information?
Class A consisted of the most excellent students, and Class D consisted of the most trashy students, so what was the meaning of Class B and Class C in between?
Horikita Suzune immediately felt the class disparity, and a thoughtful look flashed in her eyes.
"No, you can't get into Class A." Suzuki Toru said indifferently, "I can tell you this information for free: there are only two ways you can get into Class A."
"I'm listening carefully." Horikita Suzune's voice carried a cool tone.
"Have you noticed the class points? Right now, each class has one thousand class points. Next month, this number will change."
Horikita Suzune frowned. Of course, she had noticed the class points, but the homeroom teacher hadn't explained much, and she hadn't felt the need to ask.
Could it be…
"The more class points you have, the higher your class's standing will be. In other words, as long as your Class D surpasses Class A, you will be the new Class A."
As expected, something about class points just sounded off.
Horikita Suzune's mood suddenly became very subtle. She actually had to lead that group of idiots to surpass Class A?
"Is there no way for an individual to transfer to Class A?"
To her urging tone, Suzuki Toru smiled slightly: "Of course, if you can come up with twenty million personal points, you can also transfer to Class A, but it would only be for you alone."
Twenty million personal points. Horikita Suzune was momentarily stunned by the number, then immediately started calculating.
One hundred thousand personal points a month, even if she could maintain that for three years, it would only amount to three million six hundred thousand personal points, less than a third of the required amount.
So, Horikita Suzune fell silent.
"It seems you can't do anything. Just drop out obediently. The Student Council President is at a crucial moment right now. If people find out he has a sister in Class D, I'm sure his prestige and evaluation as Student Council President will decline."
This kind of rhetoric is very effective, at least for Japanese people, as they constantly have to care about what others think.
"Don't joke around! I will definitely get into Class A, and I'll absolutely show you!" Horikita Suzune's eyes were stubborn. Even if she didn't start in Class A, she would just climb to Class A as quickly as possible.
"In that case, I advise you to find a way to quickly earn twenty million personal points, otherwise the Student Council President will graduate next year." Suzuki Toru paused. "Compared to Class D surpassing Class A, I think twenty million personal points is more reliable."
Horikita Suzune clenched her fists. This guy's tone was truly infuriating!
"You just wait, someday, I'll make you regret what you said today!"
Twenty million personal points was too distant; it was more realistic to get Class D into Class A. Everyone started on the same line, and she didn't think Class D would be too far behind Class A.
As the saying goes, 'Thirty years to the east, thirty years to the west, do not bully a young girl for being poor!'
Suzuki Toru sneered, "I heard you don't even have a single friend. How are you going to lead the class to Class A?"
Horikita Suzune was momentarily speechless, then said somewhat angrily, "It has nothing to do with having friends. My goal is just to get Class D to Class A. I don't care what happens to anyone else!"
"So, as long as you can get into Class A, you don't care about abandoning some classmates?" Suzuki Toru asked.
