Scam?
Chapter 15 - Scam?
—-
"Sensei, since you're not going to answer about the topic of 100,000 points, let me ask you something else."
—-
Hoshinomiya Chie's cheeks twitched, wondering why switch questions and not continue asking about the S system!
—-
"Go ahead."
"I want to know if the school's advertised 100% college admission and employment rate are true."
—-
Class B students instantly perked up, as what was to come was of great concern to them!
—-
"Of course they are, but..."
"But only students who graduate from A-Class can enjoy this privilege, right?"
—-
What followed was the recording of the transaction between Yuto and Chabashira Sae, and thus the students of Class B came to understand that the '100% college admission and employment rates' touted by Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing High School were not entirely true, nor were they completely false.
Only the students who graduate from Class A are entitled to this privilege, while students from Classes B, C, and D... do not qualify for the privilege.
"This… this is too cruel," murmured one of the students, pale-faced, while the expressions and demeanors of the others were not good.
Most students were attracted by the school's advertised 100% college admission and employment rates, otherwise, why would they join this three-year closed school where they can't contact their family, relatives, or friends.
"Actually, there's no need to be disheartened, everyone. The arrangement of Classes A, B, C, and D is determined by class points. As long as you lead in class points, then you'll be the ones enjoying the privileges," Yuto, who had put away the school terminal, said.
"It seems… to be the case."
"Yes! That's right!"
The spirits of Class B students were lifted immediately, and Shimizu Yuto enthusiastically said, "I know how to maintain class points, and I can tell you this information for free. That is to maintain discipline, concentrate in class, and strive to be a good student."
"So that's it, we're really grateful to you, Shimizu-kun!"
Outside the classroom, Chabashira Sae held her forehead, now unable to discern if Yuto was generous or foolish, for he had directly shared the crucial information he had obtained from who knows where with the students of Class B.
How to maintain class points… this question required more than the previous 150,000 private points.
"In the end…" Yuto smiled at the Class B students who kept thanking him, "Have you thought about selling this information to other classes?"
"No!"
"Um, we don't plan to tell other classes what Shimizu-kun told us, because we are in competition!"
"That's right, we won't sell such important information to our competitors for just 10,000 points… ah, I didn't mean it in a bad way towards Shimizu-kun!"
Realizing he implied Yuto foolishly sold them the information for 10,000 points, he quickly corrected himself.
"I don't mind." Yuto smiled, his true intentions now clear.
"So, everyone in Class B, let's talk about the second transaction. If you don't want me to share this information with Classes A and C, please silence me with 740,000 points."
"Ah?!"
Including Hoshinomiya Chie, all students in Class B were shocked at the smiling Yuto, and Chabashira Sae outside the classroom was slightly startled before her lips curled up.
'So that's it. I was wondering why the boy sold the information worth 150,000 points for just 10,000 points… The real aim was the silencing fee.'
Chabashira Sae admitted she had underestimated Yuto.
She had thought selling information was Yuto's way of earning points from Class B students, but the real goal was something else.
Chabashira Sae's guess was not wrong.
The silencing fee was Yuto's real method of earning points.
After all, if Yuto made Class B students pay a high amount of points in the beginning, they probably wouldn't agree.
So, Yuto first sold the information at a low price, then charged a high price for the silencing fee.
Anyway, if the plan failed, Yuto would just sell the information to Classes A and C.
Fortunately, everyone in Class B was ambitious, eager to advance to Class A and enjoy the school's privileges.
Faced with the bewildered and resentful looks from Class B students, Yuto cheerfully said, "I've kindly calculated for you, there are 37 of you here, 20,000 points each makes up 740,000 points." Yuto cheerfully said.
"You…"
"I'm not willing!"
"That's right! Shimizu-kun is a bad guy"
"Ah, don't you want to become Class A? Don't you want to enjoy 100% employment and college admission after graduation? If Class A knows about the information of class points and that only Class A enjoys the school's privileges, then your chances of becoming Class A will significantly decrease."
Yuto's words silenced the Class B students. Indeed… they couldn't let the students from Class A know the information Yuto had disclosed.
At this moment, Yuto also showed the Class B students a photo he took from the teacher's office showing the display screen.
"Look, this is the difference in class points between the second and third years. If you start widening the gap with other classes from the start, as long as you keep maintaining the lead, you can smoothly graduate from Class A!"
Class B students looked at the photo on Yuto's student terminal, the class point differences between the second and third years stirred their hearts.
Eager, yet unable to make up their minds, the students turned their gazes to Hoshinomiya Chie, asking their homeroom teacher for opinion.
They were just sixteen or seventeen-year-old teenagers! Faced with schemes and persuasion of a villain, they could only leave the decision to an adult.
Hoshinomiya Chie, sweating from pressure, said helplessly, "Don't look at sensei like that, teachers can't participate in the competition among students."
"I…I agree to pay 20,000 points, how about you?"
"Me too…"
Yuto's smile grew even wider, the transaction seemed to be proceeding smoothly.
150,000 points in exchange for 740,000 points, a profit of 590,000 points, hmm… Yuto made a tidy profit.
"Wait a minute, everyone!"
A student named 'Kanzaki Ryuji' stood up, looking seriously and earnestly at Yuto on the podium, "If we give you 740,000 private points and you don't keep your promise, selling other classes this information, then wouldn't we have been scammed by you!"
"Don't worry about that, I can sign a contract with you. If I break the contract, you can punish me according to the contract," Yuto cheerfully replied, looking at Hoshinomiya Chie.
"That's right, isn't it, Hoshinomiya-sensei."
"Well, there is nothing wrong with that." Hoshinomiya Chie nodded.
