Chapter 135: President, Shimizu Yuto Is Incredible!
"All Sakagami-sensei and Ryuen-kun need to do is visit the chairman and principal, kneel before them, apologize, and beg while crying their eyes out."
"If they soften, you can approach the student council and spend several million points to obtain permission for Ryuen-kun to take the midterm despite his suspension."
Sakagami's face twitched.
Kneel and beg?
This woman truly could not suggest a single reliable solution!
Hoshinomiya could not allow Ryuen to be expelled so easily. She wanted the delinquent to remain at school.
As long as Ryuen stayed, he would continue opposing Yuto.
Leaving an enemy like Ryuen for Class D was one method Hoshinomiya could use to prevent Chabashira from leading her class to Class A.
After hearing Hoshinomiya's unreliable plan, Ryuen remained silent for a moment. His eyes became rather frightening as he looked toward Sakagami.
"Sensei, could that method work?"
"I don't know. It might be possible, but where would you obtain several million points?" Sakagami answered helplessly.
"That's true. Not everyone is a monster like Shimizu-chan. He earned over ten million points through wagers alone. It's unbelievable," Hoshinomiya said with a slight pout.
Could she please stop mentioning that demon?
Seeing Ryuen's face darken, Hoshinomiya's eyes flashed with amusement. She touched her cheek and asked in a cute, curious voice, "I wonder whether Shimizu-chan will become the first student to collect twenty million points."
"Hmph." Sakagami snorted before reluctantly answering, "I don't want to admit it, but Shimizu Yuto might genuinely be capable of doing so."
The school had existed for fifteen years, with thousands of students competing until graduation.
Every homeroom teacher informed their class that anyone who accumulated twenty million personal points could transfer into any class.
A student could even switch into Class A immediately before graduation and graduate as a Class A student.
However, twenty million was an enormous amount. In the school's entire history, no student had managed to gather it within three years.
"Shimizu-chan probably hasn't reached twenty million yet, but doesn't he currently possess more points than any previous student?" Hoshinomiya asked.
"Probably. According to my incomplete calculations, Shimizu Yuto has already won more than twelve million points from other students," Sakagami answered.
Throughout the school's fifteen-year history, only one other student had possessed roughly twelve million points. That person had become an enormous topic of discussion at the time.
However, that student had not obtained the money through legitimate methods.
To gather personal points, he conducted a massive fraud scheme, deceiving one inexperienced first-year student after another.
Once the school discovered the fraud, it responded immediately by confiscating all his points and expelling him.
Yuto's situation was completely different.
He entered equal wagers under official school contracts and won every point fairly through his own abilities.
Other students could envy or resent him, but the school had no grounds to punish him.
...
Inside the student council office, Tachibana organized the documents from the hearings.
"President, Shimizu Yuto is incredible. He manipulated those Class C students completely."
"The conspiracy was meant to target him, yet he turned it against them and made Class C suffer tremendous losses."
"Mm. Shimizu is undoubtedly the most outstanding person I've ever encountered," Manabu said approvingly.
Tachibana looked at him in surprise.
The student council president had praised Yuto so directly. He must truly think highly of him.
Manabu ignored her astonished gaze and looked toward the empty vice president's seat. Nagumo had left the office earlier.
He had probably gone to discuss the situation with Ryuen.
However, Nagumo had absolutely no desire to speak with him. He wanted nothing more than to avoid Ryuen entirely.
After leaving the student council office, Nagumo deliberately slipped out through the rear entrance to avoid Ryuen's group.
Only three minutes later, his phone rang inside his pocket.
When he saw the caller, his brow immediately furrowed.
It was Ryuen.
"Tch."
Nagumo clicked his tongue irritably before reluctantly answering.
Their conversation was simple. Ryuen demanded that Nagumo find a way for him to take the midterm despite being suspended.
"There is no such method," Nagumo answered with a headache.
"You'll find one. Otherwise, I'll visit Shimizu Yuto right now and tell him that you instructed me to carry out the entire framing scheme," Ryuen threatened.
"Ryuen Kakeru, are you threatening me?!" Nagumo shouted furiously, a vein appearing on his forehead.
He really had become entangled with this delinquent!
He never should have chosen such an unreliable person to deal with Yuto.
"I'm not threatening you. I simply need your assistance," Ryuen answered without hesitation.
"I already tried to help you inside the student council office! How was I supposed to know that your useless subordinate possessed evidence proving you beat him?" Nagumo snapped.
"But your help accomplished nothing. That means you still need to help me."
Nagumo took a deep breath.
This damned delinquent was incredibly troublesome, but he could not ignore him.
Otherwise, Yuto would certainly discover that Nagumo had been scheming against him from behind the scenes.
Ryuen was already willing to kneel before others if it meant remaining at school. Naturally, he would cling desperately to Nagumo, who possessed considerable authority as vice president.
"Nagumo, aren't you the student council vice president? You must have some method that will let me take the midterm."
Nagumo rolled his eyes.
"Forget the vice president. Even the student council president cannot allow a suspended student to take an examination!"
"Two days..."
"What?" Nagumo asked.
"I'll give you two days. If you don't find a solution, I'll go to Shimizu Yuto."
"..."
Nagumo wanted to smash his phone against the ground.
...
As Yuto walked along the street, Chabashira stared at him with an unusually intense and complicated gaze.
It made him feel slightly uneasy.
"Chabashira-sensei, why are you staring at me like that?"
Did this beautiful homeroom teacher suddenly have improper ideas about a younger man?
"I was wondering whether my class would definitely have reached Class A if someone like you had been my classmate," Chabashira said wistfully.
"I would've been a five- or six-year-old child back then. How could I possibly have attended high school with you?" Yuto asked helplessly.
"I know. I'm merely lamenting the possibility."
Chabashira paused.
"What would you like for dinner tonight? I'll prepare it."
Her words carried the gentle warmth of a devoted wife, though she was still single.
"Cook whatever you're best at. But I'll ask Airi what she wants first."
Tch.
That troublesome boy had fed her another mouthful of affection.
...
The weekend ended, and Monday arrived.
The school and student council acted quickly. Ryuen's punishment had already been announced to the entire school, and his written reflection was uploaded to the school forum.
His and Ishizaki's apologies were also posted on the noticeboards of all three academic buildings.
Additionally, the student council publicly displayed the written confessions submitted by Yamawaki and Komiya.
Now the entire school knew that Ryuen and his three followers had attempted to frame Yuto, only to be thoroughly defeated by him instead.
Ryuen had been suspended for thirty days, while Ishizaki, Yamawaki, and Komiya received one-week suspensions.
Class C also lost 350 class points, leaving them with only eighty.
Their score had fallen into the double digits.
News of the incident spread throughout the school before classes even began. The Class D students now looked at Yuto with even greater admiration.
As expected of Shimizu-kun!
He had completely destroyed the conspiracy created by those Class C delinquents!
While most of Class D admired Yuto even more, poor students like Ike became increasingly frightened of him.
Even the seemingly invincible and rebellious Ryuen had been destroyed so thoroughly.
It was clearly best not to oppose this demon.
...
Class A
Sakayanagi Arisu's eyes shone as she looked away from the announcement on the school forum and turned toward Kamuro Masumi.
"Kamuro, it seems we missed something extremely entertaining."
"Oh," Kamuro replied indifferently.
She knew what Arisu considered entertaining but had no desire to indulge the troublesome girl.
Kamuro's cold response did not affect Arisu.
"Shimizu Yuto achieved a flawless victory over Ryuen Kakeru. His sharp counterattack also reduced Class C's score to only eighty points."
"How frightening."
Arisu smiled.
"I wonder how many class points he could make Class A lose if we became his opponents."
Kamuro stared at her in astonishment.
"Are you planning to attack Shimizu?"
"I'm considering it. However, Shimizu-kun appears remarkably perceptive and can detect conspiracies directed against him."
"I'll need to plan very carefully," Arisu answered openly.
She showed no concern that Kamuro might reveal her intentions to Yuto.
Or rather, Arisu deliberately wanted Kamuro to tell him so he could prepare himself.
She wanted another contest between geniuses.
...
Class B
Ichinose read the announcement on the school forum and released a relieved breath before collapsing limply across her desk, her full and soft chest pressing against the hard surface.
"Shimizu, the situation you faced was so dangerous. Why didn't you tell me yesterday?"
"Even if you had told me... I probably couldn't have helped. You countered Ryuen-kun's conspiracy so decisively by yourself."
Shiranami Chihiro watched Ichinose gloomily.
The person she cared about was becoming increasingly concerned about that wicked demon.
How could she pull Honami-chan out of this swamp?
...
Class C
Hiyori lightly bit her lip while reading the announcement on her phone.
The school forum had revealed that Yuto concealed what happened after Ishizaki and the others tried to frame him.
Why had he hidden it?
"Shimizu must have been worried that I would worry about him," Hiyori whispered.
"He probably believed I couldn't help even if I knew."
She wanted to find him.
She wanted to see him.
However, after considering it, she gave up. As a Class C student, she did not want to cause him any more trouble.
For the first time, the light and sweet girl who resembled cotton candy experienced the bitterness of frustration.
Compared with Hiyori's silence, the other Class C students possessed complicated emotions—happiness, despair, fear, and many others.
They were pleased because Ryuen and his followers, who had ruled them through violence, had been thoroughly defeated by Yuto.
Seeing Ryuen suffer made many of them secretly happy.
They felt despair because their class score had fallen to eighty.
Unless their class points changed before the next monthly calculation, each student would receive only eight thousand personal points from the school.
Their fear came from Yuto.
The demon had once again proven that Class C was completely incapable of defeating him.
As the saying went, when the tiger leaves the mountain, the monkey declares himself king.
With Ryuen and Ishizaki suspended, Tokito Hiroya loudly addressed the class.
"That bastard Ryuen caused us to lose 350 class points! Class C should never have allowed someone like him to lead us!"
"Don't you all agree?!"
"Yeah, sure."
"I suppose..."
"Maybe."
Very few students responded enthusiastically.
They disliked Ryuen's violent rule, but they were not fond of Tokito constantly jumping forward and seeking attention either.
Besides, they were not delinquents.
They were ordinary students who merely wanted to enjoy high school. Why did they need to follow anyone's orders?
With Ryuen suspended, Class C had lost its leader and gradually descended into disorder.
Tokito wanted to replace Ryuen as the class leader, but he lacked Ryuen's ruthlessness and strength.
As a result, most of the class simply ignored him.
