Once the two had walked away, Uesugi slowly retracted his smile and turned to Kanzaki.
"Kanzaki, let's go. Time to get down to business."
"You just said you were going to help Horikita Suzune. And now you're changing your mind already?"
"Agreeing to help her doesn't mean I actually have to help her. At this stage, Class D has nothing left for us to squeeze out. Class C, on the other hand, still has plenty. If we get our hands on the evidence first and I use my position as th...

"Ahahaha~"
Watching Yamauchi Haruki run his mouth with reckless abandon, Horikita Suzune clenched her fist tightly.
She couldn’t take it anymore!
With a cold expression, Horikita turned to Ayanokōji Kiyotaka and ordered,
"Hey, go grab something and block the security camera."
"Uh… What exactly are you planning to do?"
"Less talking, more moving. Now!"
Horikita’s fury had already reached the breaking point.

"Wow, the school’s feeling pretty generous this time. That’s a big jump in class points."
Uesugi lay sprawled across his desk, muttering absentmindedly.
Judging by the point changes, he could roughly guess how each class had performed.
Class A and Class B likely won their points fair and square, purely thr...

At Keyaki Mall, inside a certain karaoke room—
Ryūen Kakeru sat in silence, staring at the three kneeling in front of him.
"So, you're telling me he beat you up... and all you ended up with were a few scrapes?"
The three Class C students knelt before him awkwardly, shifting uncomfortably.
"Boss Ryūen, we didn’t plan for this either! We really thought our act was convincing—he even believed he had actually beaten us up! But who could've gu...

In the first-year faculty office—
Uesugi sat in Hoshinomiya-sensei’s chair, carefully examining Ichinose’s enrollment records.
The school had conducted thorough background checks on all incoming students at Advanced Nurturing High School, so logically, Ichinose’s history should have been documented.
"Long-term absences and other instability factors, huh..."
Uesugi stared at the word "other" in the school’s evaluation for a long time, sc...

The moment those words were spoken—
Not just Class D, even the students of Class B were visibly startled.
"Ichinose actually made such a decision...?"
Indeed, when she heard that Class D was in her classroom, Ichinose had already roughly guessed Uesugi’s intentions.
And the reason she rushed back in such a hurry was mainly out of concern that Uesugi might suddenly have a wild idea—like forcing Class D to choose only two out of the three people to save.

In Class B—
“So, you came all the way here to our class?”
Uesugi sat on the podium, looking at the unexpected visitors with a strange expression.
“Yes, I’m begging you.”
Hirata Yōsuke bent at the waist and bowed respectfully to him.
Uesugi rubbed his chin and casually asked,
“There are plenty of other places you could go for that many points. The second and third years have classes that could afford it. What made you think coming to me

“This time, everyone did an amazing job on the exam! The whole class passed, and every subject scored above 60 points. What an outstanding achievement!”
Hoshinomiya-sensei stood at the podium, hands on her hips, laughing heartily.
“This is all thanks to everyone’s hard work!”
Ichinose, seated at her desk, cheerfully responded to Hoshinomiya’s praise.
Meanwhile, Uesugi sat in his seat, silently complaining.
I’d be more surprised if someone actual...

It was the weekend.
After confirming her target’s whereabouts, it didn’t take long for Kamuro Masumi to take action.
Not that she was in a hurry to catch that damn bastard—definitely not. That wasn’t why she was staking out Uesugi Gen’s dorm this early in the morning.
As for why she wasn’t keeping an eye on Ichinose, the class leader, and was instead monitoring Uesugi Gen, the vice president of Class B?
Well, even Kamuro Masumi had to admit that Ichinose wa...

And this time, the location was—the library.

Uesugi was in deep trouble.
He was cornered.
Yes—karma was real, and the heavens were watching.
After he finished causing trouble for the school, it was now his turn to be on the receiving end.

That’s right. His rejection was entirely the school’s fault.

Silence.
A deathly silence engulfed the classroom.
This plan was insane. Expelling more than ten students in one go—something like that had probably never happened before, even in a school as cutthroat as Advanced Nurturing High School.
But on the flip side, if the plan succeeded, the benefits for Class B would be immeasurable. The only cost was points, and the risk was practically nonexistent—after all, Class B was never going to use the archived test papers.

For Uesugi, who was naturally lazy and rarely exercised, physical education was undeniably his least favorite subject. Thus, he had already decided to skip today’s swimming class.
But first, he needed to resolve a certain problem.
Ichinose!
It had to be said—Ichinose Honami had thoroughly figured out Uesugi’s personality. She was convinced he’d try to weasel his way out of swimming, so from the moment class ended, her eyes were glued to him.
