Chabashira Sae extinguished the cigarette in her hand and looked up at me.
"I heard you joined the Student Council? Congratulations! I never imagined a student from my class would be this outstanding. It truly came as a surprise."
I looked at the chair beside me and asked, "May I sit down, Chabashira-sensei?"
"Please do."
After receiving permission, I sat down, looked at Chabashira-sensei in front of me, and asked, "Teacher, if you have something to tell me, please say it directly. I don't want to waste time."
Seeing my attitude, Chabashira Sae didn't get angry; instead, she seemed to appreciate it. "You're very good. In the three years I've led Class D, you're the only one who, on the second day..."
"To be precise, you're the only one in the entire school who could enter the Student Council on the second day. You are excellent. I've seen your resume, and I even suspect you were hiding your true abilities before?"
Akasaka couldn't help but roll his eyes, thinking, "Hiding my ass! I hadn't transmigrated here before, so of course I was stupid." But on the surface, I replied as usual.
"Chabashira, you flatter me. I'm just an ordinary student. You didn't call me here to discuss these trivial matters, did you? Let's get straight to the point, Chabashira Sae..."
"Oh? You're not even calling me 'teacher' anymore. Interesting."
Chabashira Sae was about to light a cigarette to calm her excited heart.
How many years had it been? She had always yearned to rise to Class A, but what she got in return was facing trash day after day. Now that she had finally found a usable talent, it would be strange if she wasn't excited.
Chabashira Sae took a deep puff of her cigarette, exhaled a smoke ring, and slowly said, "I presume that by joining the Student Council, you've already learned the secret of this school?"
"I hope you can help Class D rise to Class A."
"Goodbye!" Akasaka stood up and started to leave. Are you kidding? No benefits, and she wants him to work for free? Dream on.
This move completely baffled Chabashira Sae, who was still trying to act cool. She only came to her senses when I was about to walk out the door and quickly called me back.
"Wait!"
"You can state any conditions, and I will help you within my capabilities."
Akasaka stopped, a triumphant smile on his face. "She took the bait."
Akasaka sat back down, looked at Chabashira Sae in front of him, and asked, "What benefits would I get for helping the class rise to Class A?"
Chabashira Sae looked at the person asking for benefits, feeling a bit helpless. But this was for the best; only such a person could be controlled.
What she feared were those who desired nothing and wouldn't listen. Any problem that could be solved by offering conditions was not a problem at all.
Chabashira Sae took out her terminal and showed it to Akasaka Ryunosuke. Her treasured points balance clearly showed 8.05 million.
Akasaka gasped, secretly calculating how to get his hands on those points.
Seeing Akasaka's excitement, which he couldn't hide no matter how hard he tried, Chabashira Sae was very satisfied.
Good, anything that can be solved with points is not a problem. What she feared most were people who couldn't be bought with points. Chabashira Sae quickly stated her conditions.
"Help the class rise to Class A, and for every rank it goes up, I'll give you 2 million points."
"Simply put, if you make the class go from Class D to Class C, you can get 2 million personal points."
"You can get 2 million for every step up."
"How about it? Consider it. These massive personal points, once you graduate, can be converted into the equivalent cash and taken with you."
"The premise is that you must graduate from Class A to take the money out of the school."
"So, this is not only helping your class but also for your own sake."
"To take the money out of the school, you must be promoted to Class A. You have no choice."
"Moreover, I've checked your personal information and resume. You... must be very short on money, right? After all, with parents like that..."
Chabashira Sae, to get me to work, was constantly tempting me, resorting to every possible means.
Facing such a Chabashira Sae, I wanted to raise the stakes even further, so I explained to her in detail how difficult it would be to go from Class D to Class A.
"Chabashira-sensei, asking me to do such a difficult thing for only 2 million personal points, that's a bit hard to manage."
"Aren't the points a bit too little?"
Chabashira Sae thought for a moment.
"What you said makes a lot of sense, Akasaka-kun, but could you please stop drooling and put away those eyes that have turned into money signs?"
"Your words are not very convincing..."
It was then that I realized I had reacted physically due to the temptation of those 2 million.
Saliva was constantly flowing from my mouth, and my eyes had turned into the shape of money. I quickly wiped the drool from my mouth.
I couldn't help it. Whether in this life or the last, I had never seen so much money... I suddenly lost my composure.
I adjusted my breathing, returning myself to peak condition, so as not to fall into Chabashira Sae's trap. I said to her expressionlessly,
"Chabashira-sensei, rising to Class A is indeed a bit too difficult. I can't do it."
"I can't give you a guarantee, but I can try, so... can you give me these 2 million in advance?"
A moment later...
I left the teacher's office, holding a two-part contract. Chabashira-sensei and I each had a copy.
The contract clearly stated that for every class I rose, I would receive 2 million points. Chabashira Sae could provide 800,000 as starting capital, with the remaining 1.2 million to be delivered only when Class C was truly reached.
I opened my phone and checked my current remaining points.
Akasaka Ryunosuke, remaining personal points: 1 million.
The smile on my lips was impossible to suppress, but I knew that this amount of money wouldn't be enough for me to retire and slack off for the rest of my life. I still needed to work hard.
Just as I was about to leave the teacher's office floor, Hoshinomiyazhihui, who had already left, suddenly darted in front of me and pulled me into her office.
I arrived at Hoshinomiya's office and looked at the Class B homeroom teacher. I seemed to have expected it, showing no surprise.
Hoshinomiyazhihui, seeing my reaction, also looked at me with a scrutinizing gaze.
"What an interesting child. You're clearly different from other students. You joined the Student Council on just the second day. That's something that has never happened in this school."
Hoshinomiya stretched lazily, revealing her perfect curves and fiery figure completely.
Although she was already 30 years old, her skin was so well-maintained that some would believe her to be in her twenties.
Coupled with her playful demeanor, it added a touch of cuteness, but I knew very well that the person in front of me was extremely difficult to deal with, and I wouldn't be deceived by her appearance.
This person... was a definite little devil.
She could even rival Kushida Kikyo.
Hoshinomiyazhihui didn't mind my gaze; she even considered giving me some benefits if I could work for her.
Akasaka quickly averted his gaze, looking calmly at the teacher in front of him, and asked,
"What do you want from me, Class B homeroom teacher?"
"I'm from Class D. If I'm not mistaken, we should be rivals now."
"Oh?"
Hoshinomiyazhihui tilted her head cutely. "It's only the third day, and it seems you've already understood everything you needed to, even the rivalry."
"But then again, someone who can join the Student Council on the second day must be extraordinary."
"There must be something about him that caught the Student Council President's eye."
"Do you know? A lot of people are paying attention to you now, little celebrity~"
Hoshinomiyazhihui cutely poked my nose, completely lacking any awareness of being an outsider.
I somewhat helplessly swatted away her mischievous finger and asked again, "If you have nothing to say, I'm leaving." With that, I walked towards the door.
Hoshinomiyazhihui quickly called out to stop me. "Don't go, little Akasaka. Don't you want to make a deal with your teacher?"
Akasaka stopped. "What deal?"
Hoshinomiyazhihui showed a mischievous smile.
"Help me ruin Class D, and I'll give you a huge amount of personal points."
