Chapter 16 - Chapter 16: This is a Clear Trap

Kamio Tatsuya stopped being mysterious and directly revealed the content of the first special exam.

"The school will conduct a behavioral morality test in April. If students do things that don't match student behavior, class points will be deducted. So far, I've only told you three this information."

Then, Kamio Tatsuya explained what class points were.

However, Kamuro Masumi, who hadn't said a word, looked at Kamio Tatsuya in disbelief.

Aren't you supposed to be selling information?

Shouldn't you talk about the price first?

Why did you just say it so easily?

Aren't you afraid we won't give you points?

But as soon as this information came out, the usually calm Katsuragi Kohei immediately frowned.

He didn't think Kamio Tatsuya had revealed this information without a plan. He must have something in mind.

But before asking about that, there was a question that needed to be answered.

"Why do you know about this?"

Facing this question, Kamio Tatsuya smiled without saying a word.

At this time, Sakayanagi Arisu, who had been observing Kamio Tatsuya, suddenly started clapping.

"What a brilliant clear trap, Kamio-kun. So, how many points are you planning to sell this information for?"

Kamio Tatsuya immediately smiled with satisfaction, as he had been worried that the other person wouldn't understand what he meant.

It's easy to talk to smart people.

"Although I'd like to say 4 million, that would be too unreasonable. So, you only need to give me 3 million private points."

Kamio Tatsuya's expected price was 2 million private points, but he knew he could get more with a better start.

"No problem, I'll go back and raise the money immediately. I'm sure everyone in Class A will be willing to pay for this," Sakayanagi Arisu agreed to Kamio Tatsuya's request without thinking.

This made him a bit silent.

Damn, I should've asked for more.

"Wait, what are you talking about? He already told you the information, why do you still need to give him points?"

Kamuro Masumi looked confused.

At this moment, Katsuragi also realized what was happening and took a deep look at Kamio Tatsuya. If the class division rules were true, then this person's level shouldn't be that of a Class D student at all.

"I also agree to this deal. I'll give you the points before school ends on Friday."

Kamio Tatsuya smiled. "Then it's a pleasure doing business with you. Also, please keep this transaction a secret."

"Of course, no problem."

After Kamio Tatsuya left, Kamuro Masumi was still very puzzled.

At this time, Sakayanagi Arisu, who was traveling with her, began to explain.

"Kamuro-san, you must think Katsuragi-kun and I are crazy, right?"

Kamuro Masumi opened her mouth, and though she didn't answer, that was exactly what she thought.

"Those three million aren't for information, they're for keeping quiet."

Keeping quiet?

What's that supposed to mean?

"Do you think we'll lose a lot of class points if we take the behavioral morality test without knowing it's coming?"

Kamuro Masumi thought for a moment, then shook her head.

Class A students don't have anything to be corrected. Everyone is serious about learning in class and doesn't sleep or whisper, which goes against the rules.

In their free time, they don't do anything that doesn't fit their role as students.

They are perfect student models.

"Doesn't that mean his information is even more useless to us?"

"It's not that simple, Kamuro-san," Sakayanagi Arisu said, a happy look on her face. "Although this information isn't very useful to us, it's very useful to Class B and Class C."

Seeing that Kamuro Masumi still didn't understand, Sakayanagi Arisu continued to explain.

"Even though we in Class A can do our best without information, it's not the same for other classes.

Not to mention Class D, but Class B and Class C would probably lose at least several hundred points if they took such a test without knowing about it.

If they did know this information, then with their overall quality, they would be able to avoid losing those several hundred points. Do you understand now?"

Having said that much, Kamuro Masumi understood.

Simply put, Class A is spending three million points to ensure that Class B and Class C will lose that many points.

Class A students can even use the information to deliberately trick Class B and Class C students into doing things that violate the school rules, thereby further weakening them.

According to the theory of relativity, weakening your enemies is strengthening yourself, so if Class A wants to take the lead, they definitely have to spend this three million.

Katsuragi and Sakayanagi, who are at the top of Class A, would never underestimate other classes, so they both thought this three million was worth it.

As for Kamio Tatsuya, if Class A didn't mind him selling the information to Class B and Class C, then he naturally wouldn't mind doing so either.

The final result would just be that he would make himself two opponents by trying to save 3 million points.

Then, Kamuro Masumi thought of something.

"What about Class D?"

Sakayanagi Arisu laughed out loud when Kamuro Masumi mentioned this.

"If Class D can still be saved, do you think Kamio-kun, as a student of Class D, would sell this information to us?"

Of course not. If Class D could still be saved, Kamio Tatsuya would never have sold this information to Class A.

But after these few days of observation, Kamio Tatsuya had given up. Out of forty students in the class, less than ten were listening carefully.

Moreover, Kamio Tatsuya felt that even if he announced the behavioral morality test, most people would think he was crazy.

And when the news came out in May, they would definitely complain that Kamio Tatsuya didn't try hard enough to convince them.

To avoid this disgusting situation, Kamio Tatsuya decided not to say anything from the start.

Anyway, you didn't notice, so isn't it normal that I didn't notice either?

"One more question, how do you know that the behavioral morality test he mentioned is real?"

Hearing this, Sakayanagi Arisu smiled slightly. "Of course I know it's real."

The day after completing the transaction, Sakayanagi Arisu and Katsuragi Kohei held a meeting for all the students in Class A, announced the information, and collected three million private points.

"Everyone, please do what a student should do during this next month. If you still get points deducted when you know there is such a test, that would be really unacceptable."

Even knowing this information, Sakayanagi Arisu and Katsuragi Kohei didn't plan to use it to trick students from other classes into making mistakes.

Because doing so is actually risky.

One mistake could reveal their true intentions and leak the information, resulting in a loss instead of a gain.

Because of the appearance of Kamio Tatsuya, a rare kind of person in Class D, Katsuragi Kohei was also worried that there might be someone like Kamio Tatsuya in other classes who could see through the rules.

They knew the situation in Class B and Class C. If things continued like this, even Class B, whose overall quality was second only to Class A, would probably have more than 200 class points deducted.

So Class A didn't need to do anything extra, just do their own work and wait quietly for the next month to come.
