"Interesting targets found."

Around the beginning of May, Ryūen Sho enthusiastically reported his recent progress to Kitagawa Ryo. After paying some class points as a price, Ryūen Sho had roughly figured out the entire school's monitoring system, and What he is most passionate about now is to secretly install the monitor he bought with points in the unmonitored area. Of course, it won't last long, just as an experiment.

Long Yuanxiang didn't expect much use of these casually arranged chess pieces before, but in the past few days of recycling operations, he did find something quite interesting.

"The girl in the photo is Sakura Airi from Class D in the first year."

There are more than a dozen photos scattered on the table in the living room of Kitagawa Ryo's room. They seem to be from different time periods. The location is the special teaching building. The people in the photos are bright and beautiful. Even though the shooting is a bit unclear, you can still see it. The girl's appearance and figure are considered to be among the best among her peers.

"Is there anyone like this in Class D? I didn't have much impression last time."

Kitagawa Ryo didn't have much interest in these photos. After a lazy glance, he started teasing Hotaru with the cat teaser. However, the little guy may have been a little tired recently, so he just extended his paw and patted it twice in an extremely perfunctory manner.

"Indeed, but after searching all the girls in the other three classes of the first grade and narrowing down the candidates through the digital camera in her hand, it should be Sakura Airi."

Long Yuanxiang showed the screen of his mobile phone:

"During the subsequent investigation, I noticed that although Airi Sakura hides her appearance in class and carries out activities, she secretly has a dual identity as a graphic idol '�~' on the Internet."

"This is her personal social space and some information."

Kitagawa Ryo took Ryūen Sho's cell phone. Before coming to see him, Ryūen Sho seemed to have sorted out Sakura Airi's information:

A sophomore in junior high school made her debut in the entertainment industry. During the next year, she continued to update her personal space for almost 365 days, such as what happened that day, or her feelings, and all kinds of trivial things. She updates every little thing without hesitation, and she seems to reply almost completely to fans' messages. Judging from the idol industry, she is quite conscientious.

Tokyo Advanced Education Middle School has a rule that no contact with the outside world is allowed for three years after admission. Therefore, after enrolling in this school more than a month ago, Sakura Airi did not reply to fans' messages.

Although Sakura Airi is only a graphic idol and does not often appear in public, her popularity seems to be quite high. The number of people following her on Twitter exceeded 5,000. Some time after she stopped updating Here, a large number of comments such as "I hope �~chan can come back soon", "Are you preparing to appear on TV?" and "There has been no update for a long time" have accumulated.

Perhaps because the fans' requests were too enthusiastic, Sakura Airi chose to update her status a week ago. She probably wanted to take selfies when she went to a special teaching building without surveillance alone.

"It feels weird..."

Different from Ryuen Sho's subconscious thinking that "this person has value worth using", Kitagawa Ryo frowned and the first thing he thought of was indeed a loophole in the school rules:

"When I first entered school, I clearly emphasized that I was not allowed to have contact with the outside world for three years in high school, but judging from the information I have obtained so far, there are two loopholes that can be exploited."

"Ishizaki and I talked about some rules of the basketball club two days ago. Club members are allowed to go out during important games. Although they will be inspected before leaving school, this matter is basically done by the members of the student union. , if the water is properly placed, it is easy to take the items out through the lunch box or the container in the kettle. I once thought that if I could discuss it with people outside the school in advance, I might be able to bring it in or transport it out during the process. Something interesting."

Kitagawa Ryo leaned on the sofa and analyzed the rules bit by bit:

"There was just a problem with how to discuss it in advance, so I put my thoughts on this aspect on hold at the time."

"But, Ryuuen, you see, even if Sakura Airi is in school, she can still update her photos on social platforms normally. Although she cannot communicate with the fans who left messages, sometimes, photos are enough to convey quite a message. "

"Okay, okay, although this vulnerability sounds really powerful, it is neither practical nor operable that we will have the opportunity to use in the near future."

Long Yuanxiang crossed his legs and curled his lips and said:

"Class D is almost finished now, how do you plan to attack Class B?"

"Class B? Of course I have a plan."

Kitagawa Ryo scratched Hotaru's chin, and the kitten's purring sound was quite cute.

"Originally, I planned to simply design the behavioral logic of Class B, but now that you have found such an interesting girl, Ryuuen, I have to play something big."

"Also, how is your progress with the student union?"

Long Yuanxiang narrowed his eyes and asked:

"You can't hide it from the others in Class C, but you can't hide it from me."

"Oh, student union?"

Kitagawa Ryo pretended to be surprised, but quickly shook his head:

"For the current Class C, there is no need to get involved yet. Let's wait until we become Class A."

----------------------------------------

"Well, let me introduce myself again. I am Honami Ichinose, the monitor of Class B for the first year."

"This is Kanzaki Ryuji."

The sky approaching dusk dyed the entire coffee shop a warm yellow tone. Ichinose Honami, who had been running into obstacles for a whole day, rushed over immediately after receiving the contact from Karuizawa Megumi. As calm as she is, she cannot remain calm in this current situation. The midterm exam is coming soon, and the students in Class B also have their own review tasks. Although no one has proposed to end the search for clues until now, Ichinose Honami has We can't just settle for nothing. The sooner this matter is resolved, the sooner Class B can get back on track.

And now it seems that the key to the whole thing lies in the calm-looking Karuizawa Megumi sitting opposite him.

"Karuizawa-san said there are important clues about yesterday's fight..."

"Please! We really need this right now."

Ichinose Honami stood up without hesitation, bowed deeply, and said in a sincere tone:

"If the evidence in Karuizawa-san's hands can change the situation, Class B is willing to pay any price."

Kanzaki Ryuji next to him frowned slightly when he heard Ichinose Honami's words. Although his class B's position was indeed at a disadvantage, showing weakness at the negotiation site was undoubtedly a reason to give the other party a high price, but as one of the Honami Se's assistant had no choice but to resist the urge to speak and lowered his head along with Ichinose.

"Some members of our class witnessed the incident yesterday and even took key photos."

Karuizawa Megumi didn't mean to say anything, so she showed her cards straight to the point. Judging from the photo she displayed on the screen of her mobile phone, Ryuuen Sho from Class C was raising his fist to hit her in the face. Go, while Shibata Sa on the other side looked stunned and at a loss.

"This is it!"

After seeing the key evidence that could definitely reverse the situation in one fell swoop, even Kanzaki Ryuji, who had always been calm, couldn't help but exclaimed, while Ichinose Honami on the other side said directly:

"If the witness from Class D is willing to defend Class B and present this photo as evidence tomorrow, Class B is willing to pay Class D 500,000 personal points. At the same time, the witness will also be given another reward. Two hundred thousand personal points alone as compensation."

If it were Megumi Karuizawa before, he might have been dazzled by the huge number. For a class D student with zero class points, the figures of five hundred thousand and two hundred thousand can be said to be quite huge. Kanzaki Ryuji was also quite confident about the remuneration he had planned. He stared at Karuizawa Kei closely, waiting for the words "agree" to come out of her mouth.

"Eh? Is that so? It seems that Class B's sincerity is somewhat lacking?"

However, Karuizawa Megumi did not agree as easily as Kanzaki Ryuji expected. Instead, he smacked his lips with disdain, held up his right hand and said:

"Although I don't know what kind of punishment Class B will receive for this incident, class points will definitely be deducted."

"If the students from Class D are willing to come forward to testify for Class B, the reliability will be quite high, right?"

"The personal points paid in one lump sum... don't feel very comparable to the class points we can save for Class B."

It was only then that Ichinose Honami and Kanzaki Ryuji realized that the girl from Class D who was negotiating with them was not as simple-minded as she seemed on the surface. From the beginning, the other party was hugging her and biting her B hard. Ban's realization came here after a bite of meat.

"What do you mean, Karuizawa-kun?"

But at this point, Ichinose Honami could only hand over the initiative to the other party and wait for the conditions proposed by Class D as if he were on trial.

"One million personal points, paid in one lump sum."

The first condition that Karuizawa Megumi said made the two of them nervous, but for Class B, which currently still has 650 class points, it is not an unreachable number if they are put together. Just when Honami Ichinose was about to nod in agreement, the next words of Megumi Karuizawa completely shattered the two people's luck in solving this incident at the minimum cost.

"Class B will pay me 800,000 personal points every month for the first year."

"impossible!"

Kanzaki Ryuji immediately jumped up. Even though the location they chose was relatively remote, several students still looked over. In order not to attract attention, Kanzaki Ryuji had no choice but to sit down again and said angrily:

"Class B will never agree to such conditions. Personal points will definitely play an important role in class competition in the future. If they pay 800,000 a month, Class B will not only lose the opportunity to challenge Class A, but will even be directly defeated by C." Class catches up."

"oh..."

Karuizawa Megumi seemed not surprised by the reaction of the boy in front of him. He played with the ends of his hair and said in a narrow voice:

"It turns out Kanzaki-san also knows that Class B will soon be overtaken by Class C."

"I remember that if one person drops out of school, they will lose 300 class points. If Class D doesn't take action this time, I believe that after this midterm exam, we will see that Class C of the first year will be replaced by Class B of the first year. Woolen cloth."

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Ichinose Honami actually noticed at a certain moment that Karuizawa Megumi was holding a faint joy when talking about Class C, as if he was sitting here negotiating with her now. Megumi Izawa didn't come here for Class D at all, but for Class C.

Putting this irrelevant thought out of his mind, Ichinose Honami pursed his lips and asked:

"Even without Class D's intervention, Shibata-kun might not have dropped out of school because of the fight."

She was still trying to deceive Karuizawa Megumi with words, but Karuizawa Megumi saw the other party's sophistry at a glance, blinked her blue pupils and said with a smile:

"I'm obviously talking about the midterm exam, right?"

"I couldn't take the midterm exam because of suspension and was dropped out of school. I heard that Shibata Sa is also a very famous boy in Class B. I don't know if Class B will be the same as before after he drops out."

Karuizawa Megumi lowered his eyes and said to himself:

"In the past month, I have always heard how united and like a group the students in Class B are, but now it seems that is not the case."

Her attitude completely annoyed Kanzaki Ryuji. Just when he was about to open his mouth to argue, Ichinose Honami stopped him and took a deep breath:

"Karuizawa-kun is right, none of the forty people in Class B can be missing."

Ichinose Honami turned to look at Kanzaki Ryuji, his tone had returned to his usual gentle tone, which was the tone most familiar to the students of Class B:

"If you lose your personal points and class points, you can find another chance to get them back. But if any of you in Class B drop out, you will never get them back. I don't want to see this."

When Kanzaki Ryuji is moved, he always feels like stepping into the abyss. He knows that he is drinking poison to quench his thirst, but it seems that Class B can only grit his teeth and drink this glass of poisonous wine, just like Ichinose Honami As said, Class B's current unity is the most valuable weapon.

But when thinking about the huge figure of 800,000 personal points a month, Kanzaki Ryuji still hesitated, and Ichinose Honami couldn't persuade him. Just when the situation fell into a stalemate, Karuizawa Megumi spoke again:

"Actually, the two of Class B don't have to be so pessimistic. After our Class D proves it for you, this incident will change from an act of violence by Class B against Class C to an act of frame-up by Class C against Class B. When the time comes, we will tell you Maybe the school will decide that Class C should compensate Class B."

"If you think about it this way, wouldn't it make it easier to accept it?"

Karuizawa Megumi's words were quite heart-warming. Ichinose Honami originally wanted to speak and let the matter end here, but Kanzaki Ryuji's thinking became active because of these words, and soon it came to his mind. A lot of compensations that can be filed against Class C have been constructed.

They had never thought of such a thing before, but now that they think about it, Class D's testimony can not only free Class B from a passive situation, but can even allow Class B to immediately switch from defense to offense and gain the upper hand in the class competition. If If such an effect can be achieved, 800,000 points a month does not seem unacceptable. As long as the same value of compensation can be obtained from Class C, maybe Class B can still make a profit from this incident?

Thinking of this, Kanzaki Ryuji reluctantly agreed to Karuizawa Megumi's request. Ichinose Honami originally planned to sign the contract to protect Shibata. After Kanzaki Ryuji, the deputy of the class, also agreed, the rest of the matter was quite simple. .

The efficiency of Class B is quite high. Different from the noisy situation of Class D when they signed the contract, in less than thirty minutes, Karuizawa Megumi and the first-year Class B reached the contract, and the first-year Class D came forward to sign the contract. Class B will testify. At the same time, Class B will pay Karuizawa Megumi a one-time one million personal points and 800,000 personal points per month for one year.

----------------------------------------

"Ryo! I did it! I'm really, really, really happy."

Kitagawa Ryo heard the knock on the door at eleven o'clock in the evening. As soon as he opened the door, the figure of Karuizawa Megumi rushed in. She seemed to have just taken a shower, and her hair was even disheveled. Threads of water vapor.

"Okay, I know Megumi is the best."

Being hit all over, Kitagawa Ryo had no intention of escaping this time. Although he had sent people to pay attention to Karuizawa Megumi's actions today, he really didn't expect that the other party could complete it so perfectly. He had attracted Sakura since the morning. Airi extracted the evidence and went to face the leader of Class B to sign the contract in the afternoon. Karuizawa Megumi gave him too many surprises.

Kitagawa Ryo casually took a dry towel from the hook on the wall and wiped Karuizawa Megumi's hair that was not completely dry as if smoothing the hair of a large dog. Karuizawa Megumi just kept leaning against him. He was talking excitedly about all kinds of things today.

She also wanted praise and encouragement, so she kept rubbing herself in Kitagawa Ryo's arms.

After half an hour passed, Karuizawa Megumi calmed down. She seemed to be aware of her outrageous behavior just now. She sat on the sofa with a slightly red face and said nothing.

"How's the answer going?"

Kitagawa Ryo got himself a carbonated drink from the refrigerator, and mixed a simple smoothie for Karuizawa Megumi and placed it in front of her.

"Hmm... Horikita-san doesn't seem to want to announce the answer yet."

"Oh, Suzune's character will definitely post the answers one or two days before the exam. She must think that giving the answers too early will only prevent the students from reviewing properly and just memorize the answers. If only one or two days are given to memorize the answers, Not only will it help them remember it more clearly, but it will also allow those poor students to really learn something."

Kitagawa Ryo was not surprised by Horikita Suzune's choice:

"I originally planned to let you announce the answer and confront Horikita Suzune to gain your reputation, but this incident in Class B actually has a better effect, so Megumi should give it a little reminder in a small circle that he trusts first. , they should believe you."

"Speaking of which, why did Chabashira's class teacher deliberately designate the wrong test scope and test points?"

Karuizawa Megumi asked with some confusion. There was a little juice flowing from the corner of her mouth like a child. Kitagawa Ryo stretched out his hand to wipe it away.

"I can probably guess what she's thinking. In fact, the class tutors of each class have relevant tips on exams. Freshmen must have done this kind of thing before buying answers, or the school deliberately set the same questions just to get the answers right. Another test for new students."

"But your class teacher Chabashira..."

Kitagawa Ryo twitched the corner of his mouth:

"There does seem to be something wrong. I think she probably wants to wait for you to find the range error, and then take this opportunity to provide you with some information on 'buying answers'. For example, she confidently said that as long as you find the right method, even if you fail If the team can also pass the exam, that kind of thing."

"I see!"

Karuizawa Megumi raised his hand high:

"There are only two ways to pass the exam without studying:"

"First, it is definitely impossible to bribe teachers to cheat."

"Second, find the answers to the test papers. Apart from teachers, there are only employees and seniors in the school. It is natural to think of going to the seniors to ask about this matter, and then discover the fact that the questions in previous midterm exams are the same."

Kitagawa Ryo glanced at Karuizawa Megumi with admiration:

"That's true."

"But this behavior of Chabashira's class teacher... I still can't understand it. If no one finds out that the scope is wrong, wouldn't those who originally reviewed seriously also be at risk of failing and dropping out?"

Karuizawa Megumi said somewhat angrily.

"That's why I say I can't understand it."

Kitagawa Ryo thought of his class teacher Sakagami Suma. Although this uncle was not as youthful and handsome as Chabashira Sae, his old-fashioned glasses and increasingly descendant hairline still had some charm... Well, mainly because he had been supporting him and leading him. Wearing Class C.
