Ryunosuke made the contract in duplicate, one for himself and one for Arisu.
There was no teacher supervising here, because this was a personal bet. Besides, Arisu was too arrogant to cheat; that bet amount was completely nothing in her eyes.
In fact, through chess matches with upperclassmen previously, Arisu had already won many personal points, almost reaching 2.8 million points. To her, 900,000 points was just pocket change. What was important, she felt Ryunosuke was an interesting person and wanted to play with him.
Although Arisu didn't feel she would lose, she remained vigilant. After all, the young man in front of her was a monster who managed to enter the student council in just two days.
After Ryunosuke left, a smile still adorned Arisu's face. She felt that life at this school wouldn't be boring anymore.
"Let's go, Morishita-san, Kamuro-san." Arisu said while taking her cane and standing slowly. The two girls followed beside her like guards until they left that Karaoke room.
◆━⊰✿✧✿⊱━◆
On the other side, Ryunosuke stared at the signed contract in his hand. Since there was no one around, he no longer held back and laughed heartily toward the sky. His laughter was wild, similar to Uchiha Madara's laughing style.
"Hahahaha! This is what it truly feels like to be alive! Magnificent!!!"
A stray cat passing by stared at that strange man with disgust, as if wanting to say, "What a crazy person!"
Ryunosuke's wild laughter stopped instantly. Seeing the cat seemingly mocking him, he snorted irritably and kicked gravel toward that cat.
After the cat ran away scared, he muttered, "Damn it! When I'm rich later, I'll slap that cat's mouth with stacks of money!"
Although his mood was soaring, Ryunosuke didn't forget that he had to act immediately. Time was very tight until next month's point distribution day.
◆━⊰✿✧✿⊱━◆
At 17:30, after student council duties finished, Ryunosuke contacted Honami and Masumi to meet. In his heart, he briefly mocked Arisu.
(Cute stupid girl. I never said I would make Class D surpass Class A. Turns out she didn't notice the loophole in that contract. Well, no matter how smart her brain is, she still lacks practical experience.)
Shortly after, Honami arrived, followed by Masumi. Masumi looked displeased at being called at night.
"What did you call me for again? Do you think because you hold my secret, you can order me around as you please?" Masumi asked curtly.
Ryunosuke stared at the purple-haired girl and sighed. "Just need a small favor, once every night, can you do it?"
He then introduced Honami from Class B. Facing Honami's friendly greeting, even the usually angry Masumi was forced to reply politely though then turned her face away embarrassed.
"What business do you have calling me and Ichinose-san from Class B?" Masumi asked suspiciously.
Ryunosuke felt a bit guilty. What he was about to ask Masumi to do was clearly a form of betrayal to her class. However, he decided not to explain in detail so Masumi wouldn't refuse.
The plan began. Under CCTV camera surveillance, Masumi was ordered to kick over trash cans twice, then Honami stepped forward to tidy them back up.
"Do this every night, understand?" Ryunosuke instructed. "Don't worry Kamuro, I'll give you 100,000 points after all this is done."
Both girls were confused. Honami immediately asked what the purpose was, while Masumi snorted, "What bad thing are you planning now? No need to give me points, I can do a small favor like this for free."
Ryunosuke just smiled faintly and asked them to just follow his orders without asking further. Although feeling suspicious, Masumi finally agreed because Ryunosuke insisted on giving points as compensation for her evening time.
(A good child... it's a shame she's a bit naive. She doesn't know she's being used.) Ryunosuke thought inwardly.
After sending Honami home first, Ryunosuke remained alone with Masumi. He planned to take the final step to reduce Class A's points.
When they arrived at a deserted place monitored by CCTV, Masumi looked very nervous. She thought Ryunosuke was going to do something indecent and began trembling.
Ryunosuke didn't care about the girl's nervousness. He focused on the camera above them. He began unbuttoning his outer jacket so it wouldn't get dirty.
Seeing that, Masumi panicked even more and shouted, "Isn't this too fast?! Give me time!"
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Ryunosuke asked confused while continuing to remove his jacket.
Masumi, whose face had turned bright red, shouted "Shameless!" and tried to run.
Ryunosuke caught her wrist to ask what was wrong, but the panicked Masumi instead performed a hard over-the-shoulder throw toward him.
*THUD!*
Ryunosuke sprawled on the ground. Instead of getting angry, he instead endured the pain and stared at the CCTV camera on the streetlight.
"Hit me again, Masumi. Don't be too hard, just act." Ryunosuke requested from the floor.
Masumi gaped. "You... have masochistic tendencies?"
Ryunosuke didn't explain. He knew if he told her this was to cut Class A's points, Masumi would definitely refuse. Seeing him just stay silent, Masumi helped him stand while grumbling about how strange that young man was.
However, to ensure Class A's points were really cut due to violence violations, Ryunosuke had to provoke Masumi to hit him seriously in front of the camera. He then took a reckless action by pinching Masumi's waist.
"Kyaa!" Masumi screamed in surprise and stared at him sharply.
Ryunosuke became even bolder by pinching both sides of her waist. Finally, Masumi lost her patience and delivered a hard slap that sent Ryunosuke flying down. After that, she left with angry feelings.
Ryunosuke, whose head was dizzy from that slap, instead felt relieved when seeing the CCTV camera. "Done... with this, the chance to surpass Class A is even greater."
He got up and put his jacket back on. On the way home, he calculated his strategy. Based on the rules information he bought for 500,000 points, violence violations in the first month were deducted 30 points per incident (maximum twice per person). Added with the act of littering every night for 25 days (50 points), the total gap he created was 110 points.
In the original story, Class A had 940 points and Class B 650 points in the first month. A gap of 110 points might be small, but it was the best opportunity he could create without major risk.
If his plan succeeded: He got 900,000 points from Arisu for bringing down Class A (or at least making Class B rise to A rank).
He completed the task from Hoshinomiya-sensei to bring Class B to A rank (600,000 points bonus).
Class D's points would definitely drop below 100 due to the students' own actions, fulfilling another task from Chabashira-sensei.
The transaction with Chabashira-sensei to raise Class D's rank could be done later, because there was no time limit.
Ryunosuke grinned widely. Everything was going according to plan. Money would soon flow heavily into his pocket.
