"Ichinose..."

"Perhaps we should go for the majority decision on this matter."

Listening to Kanzaki Ryuji's thought-provoking words, the other students also tried to persuade her in earnest.

Hearing this, Ichinose Honami had no choice but to plainly nod her head in assent.

Doing so under the witness of her classmates, they eventually went looking for their homeroom teacher.

Chie Hoshinomiya—

She was a sexy female teacher in a pink top and a mini skirt.

Although it appeared as though she was very easy to talk to, she still had d bit of a shrewd and knowledgeable edge about her.

"Ara, you know so much."

She was surprised when she received the news.

"Really! Sensei didn't divulge anything to us."

Ichinose Hoonami and the others complained with a bit of grief in their tone.

Had they known all this earlier, they would have been able to make preparations.

"All first-year students are the same. You can't blame me for this. I can promise to be a witness and notary though, if you are really ready to make the deal."

"Let's begin then."

Chie Hoshinomiya's bubbliness slipped for a second.

Looking at Ying Ye Zhenshi, her eyes appeared very strange.

'Unexpectedly, such a special class D student enrolled to the school this year. And he also openly sold out his own class for money.'

Chie Hoshinomiya was already looking forward to the sight of Class D's homeroom teacher Sae Chabashira's expression turning ugly when she heard the news.

Thinking about it, next month, the class points of class D would directly become 0 points.

That thought was too beautiful for her.

In the history of this school, there were very few classes that managed to reach a score of 0 in the first month of enrolment.

Chie Hoshinomiya couldn't wait for that moment.

It was a good thing for her class to have to compete with fewer classes, and it was actually a good thing that Ying Ye Zhenshi aspired to reach class A in such a way, as there was no need to worry about being toppled from their place as the class B.

To become the first-year's Class A, Hoshinomiya Chie didn't have too big of a dream, but she absolutely couldn't allow her class to fall down the rankings.

However, she felt that should Ying Ye Zhenshi play tricks with his superior capabilities, her group of little angels in the class would not be his opponents.

The best case scenario would be to have Ying Ye Zhenshi join their class B and have him lead them to class A.

"Ying Ye-san~, would you ever consider coming to our class? Sensei really likes you. If you wish to do so, I will ask Ichinose and the others to help you come up with the remaining number of points, and once you have enough, you can directly transfer to our class."

Some information was leaked out during her proposal.

"Transfer classes?"

Ichinose Hoonami and the others listened attentively.

They also promptly understood the benefits of being able to jump between classes.

It would be much easier and faster to get to class A by just jumping directly there after all.

At the beginning of the semester, they were told that there would be no consideration for students to switch classes as they wished, which made the students think that it was impossible to transfer classes.

Now, however, they found out such a thing could be purchased with points.

"Thank you for the offer sensei, but I haven't made a decision yet, so we can talk about it later."

Ying Ye Zhenshi had no plans of accepting her offer right there and then.

After all, he had all the time in the world to choose.

"Well then, that is such a pity."

Hoshinomiya Chie sighed regretfully.

Having confirmed the authenticity of his information, they sorted out the contract and signed it.

The students of Class B had no objections to the deal, and Ying Ye Zhenshi's credibility was confirmed.

In the next month, Class D would directly fall to the bottom of the barrel and become a disgraced existence.

Thinking of this, Hoshinomiya Chie couldn't help but laugh out loud.

'It seems that I may have to comfort little Chabs sooner or later.'

The students in Class B were indeed a rich bunch, and they didn't seem to like to owe someone money.

After the first month was over and everything was confirmed, 2.5 million points would be given at once, and it was already placed in the hands of Hoshinomiya Chie.

The 3.5 million points remaining would be divided and transferred over the subsequent two months.

'This class of the little archangel's is indeed a bunch of more little angels, since they were willing to pay without negotiating.'

Now, with the 4 million plus 6 million secured, he was already halfway through with his plan.

"Then, see you all again when I have the chance. Just wait for my good news."

After Ying Ye Zhenshi had confirmed everything he decided to leave.

He could tell in his heart that his actions had caused class B to evolve…

'These little angels are bullies now…'

Finally, there was just Class A left.

They were also a bunch of troublesome guys, no less troublesome than the students of Class C.

Through his classmates, he managed to make an appointment with the current leader of Class A.

He was called Katsuragi Kohei and had a big, shiny bald head.

However, the negotiations were not at all successful.

"Even without you, our class will always be at the top. You are not needed at all. However, thank you for the information you have given me. If necessary, I can reward you personally as a thank you."

Katsuragi Kohei immediately refused.

After having been rejected so unceremoniously, Ying Ye Zhenshi's tone morphed slightly, and he approached Katsuragi Kohei as he spoke.

"Katsuragi-san must not have heard an interesting saying before— don't be afraid of thieves stealing, just be afraid of thieves thinking about it. Do you think that if you reject me, your class will always keep its spot at the top?"

"To use such sayings to describe yourself, you are truly fascinating, but I still have trust in my classmates."

Katsuragi Kohei was not moved at all.

"I see. Your classmates in Class A must be very self-confident. You probably think they are much stronger than students in the other two classes, right? But did you know? For the students in the other years, even their Class A's are missing several students."

Ying Ye Zhenshi said.

Katsuragi Kohei could only frown at the threat.

Noticing Katsuragi Kohei's look of caution, Ying Ye Zhenshi continued with his 'persuasions'.

"There are not that many ways for one to drop out of this school, but there are a lot of ways to punish them. As long as one is not vigilant, they can be expelled very easily. Do you think you will still be so stubborn when that happens? Also, I don't even need to pull Class A down to the same level as Class D. So long as Class B or even Class C surpasses you, that's all it takes. Your position as the leader, Katsuragi Kohei, is not very stable. Sometimes, you shouldn't trust your classmates too blindly. There may just be people like me in your class. Katsuragi-san, you don't want to drag your classmates into the deep end because of your own wrong decision-making, right? It would be sad if you had to take the blame then."

Rather than persuading him, his plan was to threaten the students of class A a little.

Ying Ye Zhenshi could feel that although the boy, Katsuragi Kohei, in front of him was very well-mannered, it was quite obvious that Class A looked down on the other classes when he spoke.

Especially after learning about some of the circumstances of the school just now.

With all this about his thoughts and the attitude of class A being known, if Ying Ye Zhenshi hadn't adapted his persuasions to take down such a marvellous individual, it would be impossible to convince him otherwise.
