Suzuki Toru didn't know what happened in Class D, and he didn't write much in the document, only briefly mentioning that Nan Yun of Class 2 could make a comeback to Class A in one semester.
If there were no surprises, Horikita Suzune would be very tempted right now.
However, it's still unknown if she has the talent to lead a class.
If not, it would be better to drain Horikita Suzune dry and have her drop out as soon as possible.
As for making Horikita Manabu drop out, that's a bit difficult; he's the Student Council President and a core figure in Class A after all.
Unless he could bribe the School Board and the Chairman to slightly adjust the rules.
While thinking this, Suzuki Toru finally arrived at the door of Class C and saw a red-haired boy walking out of the classroom, followed by several people.
In an instant, the other party's gaze met Suzuki Toru's.
There is an illustration here, which can be viewed after the updated version.
"Hehehe, you don't want the class promotion plan to fail, do you, Dragon Boy?", "Call on Class C to overthrow Ryuen Kakeru's rule", "Let Ryuen Kakeru violently rule Class 1", "Want to see Ryuen Kakeru beat up Ayanokoji", "Actually, Ryuen Kakeru can also wear a maid outfit to attract customers", "Destroy Ryuen Kakeru's will"...
Just like what he saw a few days ago, several wishes occasionally popped up around him, and Suzuki Toru was more or less used to it, so he wouldn't make a fuss.
But unlike last time, the big black man stood silently behind him this time, presumably having completed his training.
"Are you Ryuen from Class C?" Suzuki Toru greeted him proactively.
Ryuen Kakeru frowned. He had originally thought this guy was a passerby, but he didn't expect him to be coming for him.
"Heh, which class are you from?"
His sharp eyes stared at Suzuki Toru like a venomous snake, coupled with his delinquent student attire and the subordinates behind him, giving off an aggressive aura.
If it were an ordinary student, they would most likely be scared into a panic by now.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Suzuki from Class 1-A."
At the same time, Suzuki Toru noticed students from Class C walking out of the classroom one after another, feeling a bit surprised.
From this situation, Ryuen Kakeru must have announced something in the class just now, otherwise, so many people wouldn't still be lingering in the classroom.
"Oh, so it's a guy from Class A. What do you want from me? You're not planning to mock us, are you?" Ryuen Kakeru showed a smile on his face, but inwardly he became wary.
He didn't know this guy, and for him to show up at this critical moment was too suspicious!
After more than a week of entanglement, the black student Albert finally couldn't stand Ryuen Kakeru and announced his surrender today, recognizing Ryuen Kakeru as his boss.
By then, Ryuen Kakeru had essentially subdued the students in his class, and he had also just forcibly made the class obey his orders.
With a careful observation, it was easy to notice that the Class C students walking out of the classroom now looked at Ryuen Kakeru with a fearful gaze.
The method was simple: just a little bit of violence.
In fact, when Ryuen Kakeru subdued other delinquent students, the entire class witnessed it, and the black Albert was just the last one.
After dealing with these people, the submission of Class C was only natural.
At this moment of high spirits, a guy from Class A suddenly appeared, and Ryuen Kakeru's mood instantly turned very bad. He even suspected that someone in the class had tipped him off.
Otherwise, how could Suzuki Toru address him by name right away?
Although Ryuen Kakeru didn't want to hide anything, violent rule of a class was itself a dishonorable method. If Class A were to use it for something, it would be extremely detrimental to both him and Class C.
"I want to talk to you about something useful, but before that, I need to confirm something." Suzuki Toru ignored his probing. "Are you currently the recognized leader of Class C?"
At this, Ryuen Kakeru's expression didn't change, but someone behind him couldn't help but speak up.
"Hey, hey, what are you saying, kid?"
Perhaps taking the previous words as a provocation, a male student glared at Suzuki Toru with an unfriendly expression.
For delinquent students, it did indeed seem a bit like a provocation.
"Heh, Ishizaki, shut up, it's not your place to interrupt." Ryuen Kakeru sneered. "Although I don't know how you set your sights on me, Class C is mine now, so just speak your mind."
Hearing this, a short-haired girl behind him turned her head away in disdain.
The students of Class C naturally noticed this scene before their eyes, and almost everyone could hear these words. Some were unwilling, and some were fearful.
"How much do you know about the school's rules?" Suzuki Toru asked.
Ryuen Kakeru raised an eyebrow, revealing a mocking smile: "At least I know your Class A is the enemy, the so-called excellent talents."
Suzuki Toru nodded: "More than I expected, so, want to cooperate?"
"Cooperate on what?" Ryuen Kakeru suddenly became interested.
"If Class C wants to climb up, Class B is your first obstacle. If Class A wants to maintain its position, Class B is also the first target to eliminate."
"Interesting, Class A wants to target Class B right at the start of the school year, that's quite bold." Ryuen Kakeru sighed, then his smile widened. "However, I have one question: are you Sakayanagi's person, or Katsuragi's?"
Suzuki Toru was not surprised at all; the internal strife in Class A was too obvious to hide from anyone.
Not only Class A, but the violent behavior in Class C was also somewhat known among Class 1 students, especially rumors about Ryuen Kakeru, though the specific details were unclear.
"For now, I'm on my own, so you don't have to worry about getting involved in Class A's struggle; it won't be bad for your Class C." Suzuki Toru answered patiently.
"..." Ryuen Kakeru almost burst out laughing. He wished he could see the two tigers of Class A fight to the death, and preferably he could fan the flames from the side.
To tell him not to worry about getting involved in Class A's internal strife, was this some kind of cold joke?
"Cut the nonsense, Suzuki, what do you want to do?" Ryuen Kakeru asked impolitely.
"The school placed you in Class C, and also allocated the same points to you, indicating that this month is just an observation period for the school." Suzuki Toru said, "As long as you perform well, one month is enough to achieve a reversal of your class's standing."
Regarding the S system, Ryuen Kakeru also vaguely guessed some things, but this was thanks to Class C's homeroom teacher, who gave enough hints.
Before Ryuen Kakeru could speak, Suzuki Toru continued: "The school didn't give us any information. The absence of a question itself is a question. What kind of performance will students have without knowing the situation? I think this is also the meaning of the school's initial class division."
"Class A's performance, to be honest, there's nothing much to say. But as for your Class C and Class D, what kind of impression will you leave on the school?"
Ryuen Kakeru's expression slowly changed from initial disdain to full solemnity. After Suzuki Toru's explanation, he finally realized.
"Actually, the best way for Class C to surpass Class B this month is very simple. Since Class A is judged by the school as the most excellent class, by imitating and learning from Class A, and at the same time creating negative impacts on Class B, you should be able to successfully move up."
At this point, Suzuki Toru paused, then calmly concluded: "To put it bluntly, just pretend to be the kind of talent the school expects us to be."
Chapter 39: Actually, you can also put it in your mouth.
The essence of these words lies in Advanced Nurturing High School's definition of so-called meritocracy.
Just by looking at the kind of students Advanced Nurturing High School placed in Class A, one basically knows what's going on.
Their grades are generally good, their abilities are excellent, and there are also students like Katsuragi with top-notch résumés.
What kind of performance would these people first exhibit when gathered in one class?
The answer is to follow the rules.
If Suzuki Toru had to give an evaluation, it would be 'orderly with a hint of internal competition'.
The overall level is very high, with no obvious shortcomings, and the leaders are also very capable. At least Sakayanagi Arisu has good abilities, just a slightly bad personality.
In contrast, what do the other classes possess?
Putting Class B aside, Suzuki Toru had also been observing Class C and Class D these past few days, especially Class D.
Even Class C knew some truth, but Class D was completely unaware, shopping freely. That alone was enough to explain the situation.
Occasionally, he would see a few Class D students on the road discussing KaraOK and parties, seemingly not taking the peculiarities of this school to heart at all.
The last time he had a brief conversation with Horikita Suzune, if he hadn't deliberately provoked her, even she from Class D wouldn't have believed she could lead the entire class to Class A.
Even so, Horikita Suzune still planned to mercilessly abandon some of her classmates.
As for Class C, it was Suzuki Toru's first time seeing someone violently rule a class.
Although this method was nothing special, merely being good at fighting certainly wasn't the kind of talent the school recognized, which is why Ryuen Kakeru appeared in Class C, not Class A.
"I've heard from seniors in higher grades that examples of lower classes making a comeback to Class A are rare; Class A usually wins all the way until graduation." Suzuki Toru looked at Ryuen Kakeru. "This month is most likely the school's observation period. If Class C leaves a better impression on the school than Class B, it's normal for their status to change."
Ryuen Kakeru was silent for a moment, then sneered: "If we surpass Class B in a month, the ones who can't sleep will be your Class A, right?"
He didn't believe a word of Suzuki Toru's nonsense!
"For you, the goal for three years is Class A, but for Class A, it only needs to defeat one Class B, no matter who that Class B is."
"I admit your eloquence is quite impressive, but what can you do to help us?" Ryuen Kakeru stared at him intently. "I remember you just said 'cooperation'. Do you perhaps know some weakness of Class B?"
"Yes, I do, but I can't tell you that weakness just yet." Suzuki Toru said calmly.
Ryuen Kakeru was somewhat silent. This guy didn't look like he was joking at all. Could it be that he really did have Class B's weakness?
"I know saying this might sound a bit powerless, so I have some free information here. Feel free to take it." Suzuki Toru said, pulling out a document. "Although you probably know the contents, there's no harm in looking."
Ryuen Kakeru took the document and quickly flipped through it. It contained detailed information about the S system and some conjectures about the rules.
"You're giving this kind of thing to an enemy, aren't you afraid Katsuragi and Sakayanagi will find out?"
"It's not anything particularly valuable, even if they knew, they wouldn't care." Suzuki Toru said nonchalantly. Even if he were to sell it, perhaps only Horikita Suzune would grit her teeth and pay for it.
Ryuen Kakeru suddenly smiled: "Cooperation is fine. What do you want Class C to do?"
"Attack Class B, by any means necessary." Suzuki Toru didn't care about his gaze.
"Heh, Suzuki, don't you think your words are contradictory?" Ryuen Kakeru looked at him playfully. "For Class C to leave a good impression on the school, we can only be good students. If you tell us to attack Class B, wouldn't that make us look even worse?"
"As long as Class B loses more points than Class C, Class C will still have achieved an upset."
This time, Ryuen Kakeru was truly silent.
So, these guys from Class A are even more ruthless than him!
"Next month, I will officially join the Student Council, which will also help you somewhat. Not only Class B, but you can also target Class D if you wish." Suzuki Toru proactively offered help. If Horikita Suzune couldn't even surpass Class C, she would probably be even more frustrated.
"The trash in Class D isn't worth paying attention to; I don't need help from Class A." Ryuen Kakeru said indifferently. "However, I can help you attack Class B, but you have to tell me Class B's weakness."
However, Suzuki Toru shook his head: "This weakness will only have its greatest effect after you've caused damage to Class B. Telling you now would be meaningless."
"So mysterious." Ryuen Kakeru snorted coldly, then changed the subject. "I'm suddenly very curious, what do you ultimately want to gain by being so dedicated?"
Suzuki Toru, however, smiled slightly: "First cooperation, completely free."
Ryuen Kakeru fell silent at once. So, the second time would be paid, right?
However, if Suzuki Toru could help Class C, even paying a little personal points wouldn't matter.
...
The next day.
"You seem very busy lately."
Suzuki Toru looked at Sakayanagi Arisu with some surprise. The girl held a cane, her slender calves standing straight before him. Beneath her skirt were white garters, and he could see the garter tops constricting her thigh skin, leaving a slight indentation, looking quite appetizing.
"Not very busy. The original plans couldn't keep up with the changes. Come to think of it, I might have overestimated myself."
Sakayanagi Arisu tapped Kamuro Masumi's calf with her cane. The latter, with a cold face, silently stood up and then gave her seat to Sakayanagi Arisu.
Are your two relationships master and slave?
"Hehe, you aggressively challenged me earlier, and now you're telling me this? Can I interpret this as a sign of your surrender?"
She sat next to Suzuki Toru, occasionally catching the faint scent of the girl. Turning his gaze slightly, the girl's increasingly mature figure was perfectly displayed within his line of sight. He could see her slightly elevated chest, her hands gripping the cane and resting horizontally on her thighs, subtly revealing the rounded curve of her hips pressing against her skirt, both innocent and alluring.
Although Suzuki Toru wasn't particularly interested in middle schoolers, he had to admit at this moment that some people in this world would indeed be attracted to Sakayanagi Arisu's appearance.
Otherwise, her wishes wouldn't be like this.
"If you step on me with your white stockings, I can surrender." Suzuki Toru said seriously, feeling no shame. He just wanted to fulfill wishes, no matter what they were.
Sakayanagi Arisu was clearly stunned for a moment. Kamuro Masumi, who had been holding it in for a long time, coldly spat out a few words.
"Perverted lolicon!"
As soon as the words fell, Sakayanagi Arisu expressionlessly tapped her calf with her cane.
Looking at Kamuro Masumi's pained expression, Suzuki Toru couldn't help but say, "Perhaps you've misunderstood a bit. I don't have any particular preferences. Actually, you can step on me too, I wouldn't mind."
Kamuro Masumi was dumbfounded. She thought what Suzuki Toru had said about 'looking down there' before was already perverted and shameless enough, but she never expected him to be even bolder today.
