Unlike the students who only watched the content on the screen, Kazuma Sakagami and Chie Hoshinomiya cared more about the angles and quantity of the shots.
The video was simply too clear—so clear that both of them suspected these were surveillance cameras installed by the school itself.
But if it really was school surveillance, how did Ren Katsuragi get his hands on it?
Did he have the authority to check surveillance at any time, or did he only have permission for this one instance?
A monster with a gentle appearance.
Sakagami evaluated Ichinose in his heart.
When he saw Ichinose take out the USB drive, he determined that Ren was merely a pawn charging forward for Ichinose.
How did Little Ren get permission for the school surveillance? Was it from that time with Airi-san?
Hoshinomiya knew more inside information, so naturally, she wouldn't misjudge like Sakagami. However, she also hadn't expected Ren to actually get hold of such a killer weapon.
Opening his mouth weakly without uttering any rebuttal, Ryuen realized he had been checkmated. "Class C has no objections."
"Since there are no objections, I announce..." Seeing Ryuen had no objections, Tachibana was about to announce the judgment following the conclusion of the matter.
At this moment,
Ren spoke up, interrupting the punishment Tachibana was about to hand down to Class C.
"Wait! Secretary Tachibana, I think for something like this, the school should let the two classes discuss it amongst themselves first."
"Is that so? Katsuragi-kun, are you sure?" Manabu Horikita, seated above Tachibana, spoke.
Regarding a large-scale direct punishment of Class C, it was better to let the two classes negotiate and resolve it privately.
Ren affirmed, "I am sure."
"Understood. Secretary Tachibana, let's go." Horikita nodded and led Tachibana out of the conference room.
The three-way standoff in the conference room turned into a two-party hegemony. Or rather, the victorious nation was about to begin exploiting the defeated nation.
"Ryuen-kun, are you still awake?" Ren still wore that smile that could anger people to death.
Seeing it made Ryuen's blood pressure soar yet again.
"I'm awake. Speak. Ren Katsuragi, what do you want?" Ryuen took a deep breath and accepted his defeat this time.
And the price of defeat was to satisfy the demands raised by the opponent after bargaining.
Commonly known as: ceding territory and paying indemnities.
Ren smiled and stated extremely cruel conditions: "The 3 million points you just got yesterday, plus 90% of the points distributed to the entire Class C at the beginning of each month for this whole year."
Is this Ren's goal? No wonder he not only increased the bet yesterday but didn't even bother to take the field.
So he had calculated all of this to death, not even letting Class B off the hook.
"I can give you the 3 million points. 90% of the points is impossible." Ryuen began to bargain.
He hadn't planned on getting those 3 million points in his original thoughts anyway, so losing them now was acceptable.
But the 90% of Class C's points for this year that Ren wanted was simply too much.
"80% of the points."
"Impossible. 80% is also too much." Frowning, Ryuen rebutted again.
He didn't understand why Ren dared to open his mouth like a lion. Is he really not afraid of Class C bouncing back?
"Ryuen, you seem to have misunderstood one thing."
"Your Class C... never had a choice from the beginning."
This wasn't the Chairman's office; Class C had no qualification to bargain at all.
"Either 3 million points plus 80% of the points distributed by the school at the beginning of the month for this year. Or, all the male students in Class C who obeyed your orders will carry a notorious reputation and live on pathetically."
"Besides, I think if the Student Council's punishment comes down, Class C might not have a single point left."
Right now, the ones most worried about Ryuen not agreeing to the conditions weren't Ren, but the male students of Class C.
They also hadn't expected Ren to blow this matter up so big.
In Japan, people like sexual harassers were beaten by everyone.
Noticing the begging looks from the Class C boys behind him, Ryuen yielded. "You win."
The subsequent process was very simple. Hoshinomiya stepped forward as a witness, establishing a contract for the two classes and ensuring its legitimacy.
As for Sakagami, because this scene was truly too shameful, he left early.
The members of Class C left the conference room in a sorry state, and Class A began distributing the spoils of war.
(50,000 points transferred) x 40
First was the 50,000 points harassment compensation for each person. The boy who had admitted his strange orientation back then immediately beamed with joy.
"Attack Helicopter, Shiranami, you two come here." Ren beckoned them over.
The "Attack Helicopter" trotted over with a smile and asked, "Ren-sama, what is it?"
"Katsuragi-kun..." Chihiro Shiranami was more timid and spoke softly.
(300,000 points transferred) x 2
After transferring points to the two of them, Ren added, "You two are the biggest victims. This is extra compensation from Class C for you."
And the beneficiary of the contract for 80% of Class C's points for this year was Ren alone.
The whole class had no objections to this.
Dismissing Albert and Ishizaki, who wanted to comfort him and had been following him, Ryuen went to an uninhabited spot alone and found a bench to sit on.
I... seem to have led Class C into the abyss.
Ryuen looked up at the sky, laughing bitterly at himself.
Not far away, a projectile was thrown quickly at Ryuen. Relying on his instinct, Ryuen caught it with one hand.
It was a bottle.
A figure came to sit beside Ryuen, and a familiar voice rang in Ryuen's ear: "You lost."
"Yeah, I lost." Ryuen leaned his head back and sighed with emotion. "So you came to laugh at me?"
That figure spoke: "It was expected. I can't call it a joke."
"Then what are you here for?" Ryuen, who now had nothing, asked in confusion.
Psshh...
The other person opened the bottle in his hand, and the sound of fizzing bubbles quickly rushed out from the opening. After taking a big swig, the person continued Ryuen's topic.
"Don't you have two lines? Since the Class A line failed, then go complete the Class D line."
"The Ken Sudo line is your only chance now."
Raising an eyebrow, Ryuen hadn't expected the other party to have investigated his plan so clearly. Also opening his bottle and taking a sip, Ryuen then said, "Ken Sudo is worthless; there's nothing to be gained from him."
"Wrong. Ken Sudo has no value, but Class D does. Especially Class D's Kikyo Kushida. Her points are very plentiful. With her persona, she will definitely be coerced by righteousness to save him."
The figure began analyzing for Ryuen one by one where profit could be found in Class D.
"Heh, you want to drive the tiger to swallow the wolf?" Ryuen understood the sinister intentions of the person before him.
The other party didn't refute, only saying indifferently, "But you have no choice, do you?"
Ryuen didn't commit to an answer. "You're right. I'll do it."
Draining the drink in his hand, Ryuen wanted to act cool and threw the empty bottle directly toward the trash bin.
Clunk...
The empty bottle hit the rim of the trash bin and ended up falling at its base.
The figure also finished their drink and chose to do the same as Ryuen. Unlike Ryuen, the figure's empty bottle traced a perfect arc in the air and fell precisely into the trash bin.
Seeing this, Ryuen really couldn't hold back. He suddenly swung a fist at the other party, only to have it perfectly blocked by a single hand. Ryuen couldn't help clicking his tongue.
"You really are an evil capitalist... Ren Katsuragi!"
