The duel between Ryunosuke and Koenji had reached a deadlock.
Ryunosuke was clearly betting on who had more money. Meanwhile, Nagumo had reached his limit; he no longer had any personal points he could use. Manabu also clearly showed no desire to get involved and help.
This situation was becoming dire for Koenji...
For the first time, Koenji felt a real threat given by a peer. He acknowledged that he had underestimated Akasaka Ryunosuke.
Seeing Koenji already on the brink of expulsion and his goal nearly achieved, Ryunosuke immediately softened his attitude and changed his strategy. He looked at him and said:
"How about this, Koenji-kun?"
"Oh?" Seeing him give an opening, Koenji was immediately interested. "Speak, what are your conditions?"
Ryunosuke didn't waste time and raised three fingers. "Promise to do three things for me, and I'll release you. If not, please leave this school."
Koenji laughed coldly. "Hehe... are you threatening me?"
Ryunosuke didn't answer. He sat calmly on the sofa while closing his eyes to rest his mind, waiting for an answer from Koenji.
Koenji didn't think too long. After all, he had no choice. If he left school now, his father would surely be very disappointed in him, and might even look for someone else to replace his position.
Don't forget, how could someone as wealthy and powerful as his father only have one woman?
There must be many illegitimate children out there. While he was only the son of the legal wife who could be replaced at any time. If he disappointed that bastard father of his too much, most likely his story would be over...
Therefore, Koenji agreed to the three conditions without much further consideration. Ryunosuke nodded with satisfaction. He didn't even ask for a contract signature and immediately got up to leave.
Koenji looked at his departing back in confusion. "Don't you want to sign an agreement with me? An oral promise has no legal force."
Ryunosuke's steps halted, he turned around with a relaxed smile. "Would a Koenji Rokusuke go back on his word?"
Koenji was momentarily stunned, then laughed heartily. "Hahahaha! You're absolutely right! How could I, Koenji Rokusuke, become someone who doesn't keep his promises? I accept your three conditions, command me anytime!"
"I acknowledge you, Akasaka Ryunosuke."
Facing praise from the only son of the Koenji Consortium—ranked third among the Four Great Consortiums—Ryunosuke showed no excessive reaction. He continued walking away calmly and closed the door.
Koenji stared at that door deeply, feeling somewhat impressed.
Daring to trap him like that, that young man really had guts!
It seemed that kid's original goal was indeed to target his three promises. Truly not simple... Akasaka Ryunosuke.
◆━⊰✿✧✿⊱━◆
Ryunosuke, who had already walked out, reflected on his gains.
Through this confrontation, he only lost one expulsion cancellation ticket, but he gained three promises from the crown prince of the Koenji Consortium.
These three promises weren't only valid at school, but also in the outside world. With this, he had a guarantee out there; at least he could make Koenji move for him three times...
Ryunosuke put his hands in his pockets with a calm gaze.
From the beginning, this was the real plan. Initially, before he knew Koenji's true identity which was so great, he only wanted to kick this person out because he was obstructing his path to find points. But after knowing his identity, his plan changed.
Through this incident, besides gaining Koenji's help, he also successfully saw Nagumo's trump card. Turns out it was only about 47 million personal points, and he had just drained 40 million of them.
Meanwhile, Ryunosuke's side only sacrificed one expulsion right belonging to Manabu and one of his own.
He and Manabu didn't spend a single penny to drain Nagumo's points. That way, Nagumo wouldn't be able to attack Manabu again, at least for the near future...
With this, Manabu should be able to graduate peacefully and smoothly without having to fall to Class B like in the original story due to Nagumo's actions.
Ryunosuke opened the classroom door and returned to his seat.
Before long, Koenji entered following him. They briefly made eye contact from a distance and smiled.
Ryunosuke smiled with hidden meaning, while Koenji smiled because of his interest in this person.
Inside the classroom, Hirata breathed a sigh of relief seeing Koenji return. At least that proved Koenji wasn't going to be expelled after all.
◆━⊰✿✧✿⊱━◆
The Outside World. A certain area in Tokyo.
Here was the residence of the Ryuen Group, one of the four largest mafia organizations. There was a large ancient mansion, the type of house that showed it was the dwelling of an influential extended family.
Ryuen Kakeru was currently at home, studying hard.
That's right! This delinquent, in order to return to Advanced Nurturing High School for revenge, had to take a retest. So, he needed to study diligently.
He ruffled his hair in frustration.
Clearly he wasn't the type of person talented in studying; he had only written a few words and already felt disgusted. Ryuen threw his pen in annoyance, but after thinking for a moment, he picked it back up and continued studying.
His mother saw this through the crack in the door and laughed softly. "Kakeru has really changed."
"Yes... my son has indeed changed a lot." replied an old white-haired man with a messy beard beside her. He was Ryuen Kakeru's father, as well as the leader of the Ryuen Group.
He sent his son to Advanced Nurturing High School so that the kid would study well and not follow the same life path as him.
After all, in today's society, "thugs" were already hard to find a place for. Father Ryuen looked at his son who was trying to study with a father's satisfied smile.
"I thought this kid would be ruined and I was already planning to have a second child. It seems he can still be saved."
Mother Ryuen glanced at her husband. "You're already this old and still want another child? Isn't your age already 50?"
Father Ryuen immediately took off his upper garment and proudly displayed his muscular body. "I can still fight for another 50 years!"
*CRACK!*
A crunching sound came from his bones; Father Ryuen's back gave out. Curtly, Mother Ryuen helped her husband to the bedroom. "Already so old, not a young man anymore, why show off?"
Father Ryuen grimaced in pain. "I just wanted to prove that I'm not dull yet."
His wife sighed. "Never mind, how strong your ability is, I'm the one who knows best every night. At most only half an hour and you're already exhausted."
Father Ryuen's face reddened with embarrassment. "What if I buy stamina enhancement pills?"
Mother Ryuen answered resignedly, "Forget it, I don't want the trouble. Besides, I don't plan to have a second child, having Kakeru is enough. Besides, if there are many children, what if they fight over power? We won't know who to side with."
"You're right... then let's not." Father Ryuen replied while holding his aching back, walking away with his wife while chatting.
Meanwhile in the room, Ryuen showed a cruel smile. He seemed to remember something interesting and laughed broadly.
"Hahahaha, Akasaka Ryunosuke! Just you wait!!!"
"After I return to school later, I, Ryuen Kakeru, will definitely take revenge on you!!!"
"Wash your neck well and wait for me!!!"
